Early the next morning, the people on the banks of the Qinhuai River were still busy as usual, and as for the fact that there were people lying on the banks of the river for several days in a row, it did not have much impact on them.

For some other people with ulterior motives, when the sky was still bright, they had already begun to wait on the bank of the Qinhuai River, checking along the riverbank to see if there were any dead bodies like a few days ago.

Yang Cunzhong, the envoy of the prison sentence, came to the river again with the arrester, and went to ask the messenger of the transfer envoy, but he had already run back out of breath, and the transfer envoy Huang Du was not found, and he didn't know where he went.

The dead bodies were salvaged, the crowd of onlookers whispered, and there were people on the banks of the river one after another, and the people who obviously realized it were no longer simply because of the guests who died of alcoholism in the Qinhuai River, and began to talk about whether someone robbed money and killed them when the night was dark and the wind was high.

And these drunken guests who drank last night naturally became the targets of their attack, robbing money and killing people, which is hateful.

Just when the onlookers were whispering, and even whispering accusations of the government's inaction, hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared in Jiankang City with the rising sun.

The corpse of the commander of the Chenshi Transit Division appeared on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and the five hundred Nankang troops were stationed in Jiankang City, and the documents of Dali Temple arrived at the Jiankang Mansion at noon, and Shen Zhongping was picked up from the prison by Jiankang Tong, and the Youzhong family set up a banquet in the house to shock Zhong Ping.

Several seemingly unrelated things happened one by one, which instantly made the atmosphere of Jiankang City more and more solemn, even in the slight cold wind, as if it had begun to spread a suffocating feeling.

Tao Qian's face was as ugly as the death of his family, looking at his own house, plus the one called Mo Xiaobao and him, who were only ten Imperial City Division guards, and muttered in his mouth: Shi Miyuan killed the corpse of the head of the transfer division Qin Huaihe, Zhao Ruyu ordered Wang Gongwu to lead the Nankang army into the city, and the king of Xin wanted to exonerate Zhong Ping and re-try him on the grounds that the documents of Dali Temple and the report were untrue, and you Ye ordered Yang Cunzhong to release Zhong Ping. In half an hour, the Zhong family will hold a banquet, what are you...... What is this for?

"It's not clear whether King Xin will go to the banquet, but since King Xin moves, Zhao Ruyu has no reason not to move, will he really break into the Zhong Mansion and take people again? And is it all taken? Ye Qing looked at the map of Jiankang City spread out on the table, glanced at Mo Xiaobao, and then asked, "Have Zhao Qi'er and Xu Qing converged?" ”

"Well, when the Nankang army had just entered the city, they had already arrived at the Zhong family." Mo Xiaobao nodded and replied, then paused slightly and said, "Then we ...... What's next? ”

"Set off to the Zhong family, since you have promised to believe in the king, you can't break your promise, and the Zhong Mansion will definitely have to go." Ye Qing kept frowning and staring at the map, and suddenly looked up at Tao Qian and said, "I don't want to live in Tibet in the next few days, so I have to set up a petition anyway." ”

"I knew you wouldn't let me go so easily, let's say, if I can do it, I'll do my best." Tao Qian pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly.

"It's not about doing our best, it's about having to do it, or any of us won't think about it." Ye Qing finally left the city map and looked at Tao Qian and said solemnly.

Tao Qian looked at Ye Qing's serious and dignified appearance, and also put away his cynical attitude, straightened up on the chair, and said seriously: "Commander Ye commands." ”

"Kill this person, and then wait in Zhongshan outside the city." Ye Qing took an umbrella from Mo Xiaobao's hand, and then slowly handed it to Tao Qiandao.

"Who?" Tao asked subconsciously, looking at the umbrella handed over by Ye Qing, after hesitating slightly, he still took it very firmly.

"It is said that it is Wu Yi, a merchant of the Jin Kingdom who traded with Zhong Ping, but it is difficult to say whether he is a merchant of the Jin Kingdom or not." Ye Qing said lightly.

"I ......." When Tao Qian heard the word Wu Yi, he couldn't help but gasp, got up from the chair with a bang, looked at Ye Qing in shock, and said, "Don't you want to get out of Jiankang City alive?" Where would Wu Yi be a merchant of the Jin Kingdom? That's ...... He is the cousin of Wu Gong, the king of Wu'an, and the grandson of Wu Lin, the king of Wu'an. ”

"King Wu'an, King Wushun, have died a long time ago, what are you afraid of, otherwise the court will give them nicknames? They are heroes of the anti-gold resistance, but it doesn't mean that their descendants have also inherited their integrity perfectly, right? Ye Qing said lightly.

"But Wu Gong is still alive, if he knows......." Tao Qian was stunned for a moment, watching Ye Qing suddenly stop talking, his lips moved for a long time, as if he had figured out something, and said seriously: "Okay, I'll do it." ”

"The eight Imperial City Guards outside the gate will be handed over to you and sent by you." Ye Qing nodded with satisfaction and pointed to the eight Imperial City Division Guards outside.

"Hmph, are you afraid that I will run away? If you let me send you, you are spying on me, right? Tao Qian pouted.

"Don't say it so ugly, I can't believe you? You were the elite of the Imperial City Division back then, how could it be that he was spying on you, just spurring you, afraid that you would take the money and not work. Ye Qing lazily teased Tao Qian, whose nose was crooked, and then walked out with Mo Xiaobao.

Even Mo Xiaobao didn't know what Ye Qing and Lin Guangchao were talking about on the bank of the Qinhuai River, but now that they heard that Ye Qing was going to kill Wu Yi, they understood a little bit in their hearts what Ye Qing and Lin Guangchao were talking about that day, and why Ye Qing still wanted to see Wu Gong in person.

Although until now, he still didn't know what Wu Gong of the Divine Power Army thought, but seeing that Ye Qing handed over this task to Tao Qian so easily, Mo Xiaobao couldn't help but guess in his heart, whether Wu Gong had already chosen to kill his relatives in righteousness?

Out of Wuyi Lane, the carriage driven by Mo Xiaobao drove along the Qinhuai River in the direction of Qingxi Bridge, not far after Qingxi Bridge, in the area called Nanyimen, is the Zhong family's mansion next to the royal garden villa.

The ordinary carriage, which was not marked, stopped when it was only an alley away from the Zhong family, and looking at the teahouse next to it that did not have a few guests, Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao got in.

"Wait, we don't have to show up in a hurry." Ye Qing said after sitting down.

As the quick men came over, they began to ask Ye Qing and Mo Xiaobao if they wanted to taste the tea that their family had fried themselves, and the Zhong Mansion at this time was a celebratory and lively scene.

Without waiting for the night to gradually envelop the entire Zhong Mansion, the descendants of the Zhong family, under the urging of the main family, have been eager to light all the lanterns up and down the mansion.

Zhong Ping was personally brought back from the prison by Zhong Lin, whether it was for Zhong Ping's parents or other relatives and friends of the Zhong family, this was the supreme honor and prestige of the Zhong family as a relative of the emperor.

In particular, Zhong Ping's parents believe that Zhong Ping can come back safely in prison without suffering and punishment, completely because of his status as a relative of the emperor, and completely because of the effect of King Xin's pro-Jiankang yesterday.

Le's mouth is closed, and the somewhat proud look on his face all shows that Zhong Kang and his wife are high-spirited and proud and joyful.

Even in the face of Zhong Lin, who personally brought back Zhong Ping, Zhong Kang, as the second child, still has no appreciation for his eldest brother, in his heart, these are all because of the belief in the king, the eldest brother is just an errand runner, and all of this should have nothing to do with him.

Moreover, he should also thank himself, after all, if he waits for a while for King Xin to come, he will say a few words for the eldest brother in front of the King of Letters, and the weight of the eldest brother in the eyes of the King of Faith will naturally be more important, so at this time, the eldest brother should thank himself.

"Big brother, sit down and rest for a while." Zhong Kang grabbed Zhong Lin, who was about to go out, came to a slightly secluded hall, looked at Zhong Lin, who was busy, and said with a long breath: "These days in this prison, I'm afraid that the eldest brother has not made any less money, this money naturally can't let the eldest brother come out, you and I should settle the accounts clearly." ”

Zhong Kang said, while taking out a few silver tickets from his sleeve pocket, he was about to hand them to Zhong Lin, seeing that Zhong Lin was about to refuse, he hurriedly put his hand holding the silver ticket on the back of Zhong Lin's hand that was ready to refuse, and said seriously: "Big brother, don't worry, I won't say anything about this." In the house, you are busy with the outside, busy and busy, we all see it. You can rest assured, when the king of faith comes, I will naturally say a few words for you in front of the king of letters, Zhong Ping can not be wronged in prison, and can come out smoothly and safely, although it is the power of the king of letters, but I also know that there must be a hard work of the eldest brother. ”

"Second brother, you ...... As you said, I'm just running errands up and down, how dare I think about any merit and hard work, when I caught Ping'er in prison, I still don't want to go to this heart. The black light was blind, and Ping'er didn't squeak, and when I took everyone into prison, I found out that it was Ping'er, but at that time, the prefect, the pacification envoy, the transfer envoy and others were there, and I just wanted to put Ping'er back immediately, and they were all ....... Zhong Lin took the silver ticket without a trace, and explained to Zhong Kang in a sincere tone.

"Big brother, this matter is over, and I won't mention it again in the future. This officialdom is like this, as a Jiankang judge, you should also be careful, although because you are my eldest brother, this Jiankang officialdom, more or less will give me, or the king of letters some face, but you still need to be careful and cautious everywhere. Zhong Kang watched Zhong Lin squeeze the silver ticket in his hand, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

As the eldest brother, Zhong Lin, for so many years, what his younger brother is like, he knows better than anyone else in his heart, and his desire to compare is stronger than anyone in the clan.

As the eldest brother of the Zhong family, the family up and down, left and right, seven aunts and eight aunts, cousins and cousins, etc., no one has ever come to ask him to judge Jiankangtong, and they all come to find his younger brother, which also makes him, the eldest brother, have no sense of existence in the Zhong family, and have no majesty and status at all.

Even if he is a dignified Jiankang Tongju, compared to his younger brother's status as a relative of the emperor, at least in the Zhong family, no one thinks that he can compare with the second Zhong Lin.

Over the years, not only have to endure his younger brother's fingers above his head, but also endure the comments of other people in the clan behind his back.

What made him even more angry was that the death of his daughter Zhong Xin back then was like a stepping stone for the daughter of the second family, and he not only had to endure the pain of losing his daughter, but also worked up and down the second child's house with a smile, just like today.

The hatred hidden in his heart for many years has always been very well hidden by Zhong Lin, over the years, he has never shown a trace of dissatisfaction with the second child, even if the second child treats him as a cow and a horse, like a subordinate in his house, he has no complaints.

Because he wants to avenge Zhong Xin and hate the humiliation he has suffered over the years, he has always believed that one day, the Zhong family should respect themselves, and everyone should act according to their own faces, rather than looking at the faces of the second Zhong Kang.

"Big brother...... Eldest brother....... Zhong Kang's eyes flashed with disdain and disdain again, and he shook Zhong Lin's shoulder, who was in a daze, and shouted.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhong Lin smiled kindly and said, "It's probably because I've been too tired these days and I'm a little distracted." ”

"Alas...... Big brother, there will be a king of faith in the house today, you ...... How can you do that? Cheer up, don't go wrong today, if you displease King Xin, even if I say a hundred good words for you, I can't stand your rude stunned god. Zhong Kang taught his eldest brother seriously.

Zhong Lin endured the excitement in his heart, as long as he thought of it, but after a few hours, the second child would kneel in front of him and cry and beg for mercy, Zhong Lin's heart trembled even more uncontrollably, and the whole person felt as if he was about to collapse.

"Yes, yes, you can rest assured, that ...... I'll go and see the other guests first, and you'll wait in the main hall for news, and I'll let you know as soon as King Shin is about to arrive. "Zhong Lin, like the head of Zhong Kang's family, has become familiar with it over the years, and there is nothing wrong with the upper and lower levels of the second family.

Even, compared to Zhong Kang's manager, he is more like a qualified manager.

Looking at Zhong Lin's back as he picked up the silver and then left quickly, the disdain on Zhong Kang's face was even greater: "My life is a life of running errands, and I have been sentenced to a bad job by Jiankang for many years, and I haven't seen anything decent done for many years, so I still have to let me help him everywhere." ”

People are like this, once they are praised to a certain position, then the fake becomes true, not to mention that Zhong Lin has been talking to him for so many years.

Coupled with the awe of other people in the Zhong clan for his status as an imperial relative, the entire clan is looking forward to him, and his daughter Princess Xin comes back to save his relatives every year, which allows him to feel once a year, and the feeling of being surrounded and flattered by the Zhong family makes him look forward to it more than Yuan Rilai.

Therefore, a person like Zhong Kang, who has the status of a relative of the emperor and the country, is like a child who has been spoiled by adults, and has completely forgotten who he is and why people have always been respectful and respectful of him.

He never thought about why Jiankang, who had always bowed down to him, would arrest Zhong Ping and then lock him up for so long, was it really because he couldn't see clearly because of the black light?

Maybe Zhong Kang once had a trace of doubt in his heart, but soon, he would be left behind by his good sense of self and the way Zhong Lin held him and bowed down to him on weekdays.

Zhong Qing stood in front of the window on the second floor of his attic, and since Zhong Ping came back, his parents had been sending people to tell him that King Xin would come to the house at night to get her ready.

Fang Fei looked at the princess, who was halfway dressed up, but she had always been preoccupied, and she didn't know how to comfort the princess, after all, since she came back yesterday, the princess has always looked worried.

"Xu Qing, are they still downstairs?" The Zhong Mansion under the cover of night looked particularly festive and lively, even Zhong Qing herself, looking from the window on the second floor, would not believe everything Ye Qing told her yesterday.

She didn't believe that the festive scene in front of her would be an illusion, a prelude to a fight.

"Yes, they're all downstairs." Fang Fei, who was stunned for a moment, immediately replied, but after thinking about it, she still expressed the doubts in her heart and the strangeness of those people downstairs: "Princess, those people look different from usual, they are all very serious, and they are ...... And....... ”

"And what?" Zhong Qing asked without replying.

"The house originally looked festive and lively, but they were all like great enemies, with serious expressions, scary to look at, and not auspicious at all. The bow and crossbow and waist knife were hung on his waist, and he carried everything with him, as if there was some danger in our house. Fang Fei tilted her head, thinking about the serious appearance of the Imperial City Division guards outside downstairs.

Zhong Qing sighed at the cold night outside the window, her full chest rose and fell in a seductive arc, and muttered, "I don't know either...... What will happen next, hopefully he guessed everything wrong. ”

When she left Wuyi Lane yesterday, Ye Qing didn't allow her to refuse, so she brought all the guards of the Imperial City Division who followed them all the way to Jiankang, a full fifty people, and the water around her small attic was blocked, and even if her parents wanted to come over, they would stop and check it.

"Princess...... Shin ...... King Xin arrived in Jiankang yesterday, why did he come tonight? "Fang Fei is not very afraid of Zhong Qing, she was taken by her side when she was a child, although there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, but the princess, who has always hardly lost her temper, sometimes seems to her to be like her sister.

"No, King Xin has been in Jiankang for several days, maybe something is wrong." Zhong Qing slowly turned around from the window, sat down in front of the dresser again, and continued to let Fang Fei help her groom and dress.

In any case, since the parents are unwilling to leave secretly, and they don't believe that the Zhong family will usher in great changes, how can she, as a daughter, leave her parents alone?

The mother's voice downstairs sounded again, Zhong Qing, who had just finished dressing up, put on the white fur fur that Fang Fei brought, making the whole person look as if with a fairy aura, and even Fang Fei couldn't help but exclaim: The princess is so beautiful.

smiled gently, pinched the nose of the somewhat naughty Fang Fei, and listened to the mother's voice downstairs getting louder and louder: "What? Can't I go into my daughter's boudoir as a mother? Who are you? Eaten bear heart leopard gall? Believe it or not, I told the king to put you all in prison. ”

Zhao Qi'er downstairs pushed Xu Qing, Zhao Qi'er knew very well in her heart that if her unpleasant face appeared in front of this old lady at any time, I am afraid it would only add fuel to the fire, so it was better for Xu Qing, who was slightly more pleasing to the eye, to come forward and explain.

Xu Qing glared at Zhao Qi'er, holding the waist knife in one hand and the bow and crossbow in the other, walked up to Yang, and said with a stiff smile squeezed out: "The princess will come down soon, she is dressing upstairs, Mrs. Zhong should please go over to greet the guests first, and the princess will ...... in a while." ”

"Can't I take my daughter, Princess Xin, to the front yard?" Yang's face was pale, and he hated these short-eyed guards in his heart.

"That's naturally not, so why don't you wait here for Mrs. Zhong? Presumably, the princess will be ...... soon. Xu Qing looked at Mrs. Zhong's face was blue and about to eat people, and said with the muscles on her face stiffened.

Zhong Qing, accompanied by Fang Fei, walked out of the attic slowly, coughed lightly before she could speak, when she heard Yang pointing at Xu Qing's nose and saying to her, "Are these people so blind?" Is that how they protect you on a daily basis? Is this protecting you, or is it locking you up? Are they not afraid of the king of faith? I must tell the king today that none of these people have long eyes...... ”

"Okay, they're also for my safety, aren't they?" Zhong Qing stepped forward, took her mother's arm and said softly.

"Sooner or later, let King Shin clean you up." The Yang family, who did not give up, did not forget to point at Xu Qing and threaten when he turned around and left with Zhong Qing.

Watching Yang and Zhong Qing walk towards the front yard, Fang Fei, who was following behind, first quickly grimaced at Xu Qing, who was smiling, and then quickly followed behind Yang and Zhong Qing.

"You stay at the back door, and I'll accompany you." Zhao Qi'er watched Zhong Qing and Yang leave, and said with a sharp cold light in her triangular eyes again.

"Be careful, don't linger too long." Xu Qingzheng nodded, agreeing with Zhao Qi'er's words.

Zhong Qing, who accompanied his daughter, was just about to enter the main hall when he heard the annoying footsteps behind him, and he had been following him, and the Yang family, who was already angry because of them, turned around angrily.

First, Fang Fei, who was caught off guard and was taken aback, hurriedly hid on Zhong Qing's side, and then Zhao Qi'er and dozens of Imperial City Department guards, as if they were petrified, stood in place and looked at Zhong Qing and the Yang family.

"Is this the place where you can come? All retreat. Yang looked at the lively and festive front yard, and from time to time relatives and friends saluted each other, so he lowered his voice in consideration of the overall situation, forcibly endured the anger in his heart, and looked at the dozens of guards in front of him who were incompatible with the atmosphere here.

"Ordered to protect Princess Xin, there is no way." Zhao Qi'er didn't smirk like Xu Qing, and said with a serious and stiff expression.

Listening to the words of his mother and Zhao Qi'er, Zhong Qing, who slowly turned around, looked at his mother, and then looked at Zhao Qi'er, who looked firm, and said lightly: "Everyone else should go down." ”

As Zhong Qing and Yang walked into the main hall full of friends, Zhao Qi'er looked around and motioned for others to wait nearby, and then he walked into the main hall and stood behind Zhong Qing with Fang Fei.
