The living room in the front yard is brightly lit.

Lian Zining is holding a banquet to entertain King Liang and his party.

There are not many people, the only guests are Liang Wang and Cui Wanrong, and the accompanying guests are Lian Zining and Su Li.

The way of seating arrangement is to sit opposite, Lian Zining and Su Li sit on the right, and Liang Wang and Cui Wanrong are on the left, male to male, female to female, so that there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority, and the food is also comfortable.

King Liang took a mouthful of the dish, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu Yi, this dish is good, this king looks, it is better than the imperial meal rewarded in the palace during the New Year." ”

The dishes are very hearty, and what is even more rare is that they are all wild and extremely fresh.

A soup made from freshly netted river fish and freshly picked wild vegetables; After the fat chicken was made by the method of calling the flower chicken, the large pieces of the slices did not have bones; lamb stir-fried with garlic slices; scrambled golden eggs; stir-fried bacon with dried radish; Marinated sausages with a very good taste. The last thing that came up was a plate of golden bacon slices and scallion pancakes that had just come out of the pot, crispy and soft and wrapped in fine white and tender green onion shreds. If you don't want to eat this too greasy, there are dumplings with vegetarian three fresh fillings, which are held in the celadon plate next to them, all of them are smooth and cute like small ingots!

Lian Zining took a mouthful of golden bacon slices and chewed them in his mouth, and replied with a smile: "Your Highness is really saying this, the palace has its own mysteries in the palace, and the tea can't be the top tea, and the Longjing drunk in the palace is not as good as the eunuch's mansion in Hangzhou." Just a general look? What do you say? ”

Liang Wang Daqi, he really doesn't know the secret. I couldn't help asking, "I want to hear about it." ”

Lian Zining smiled slightly: "Good tea is not easy to protect, so it must be picked off immediately and transported to Jingshi." If you're lucky, the taste doesn't change, but most of the time if you're unlucky, the taste is bad. If the emperor drinks a good tea, he must remember this taste, but the next time he sends it is not as good as the previous year, the emperor will be furious, thinking that the people below are bullying the king, and someone will be unlucky. So it's better to give the emperor a drink. At least the supply is guaranteed. In the same way, the same is true of the imperial meal, once or twice when it is done well, and then the taste is a little worse, and it will cause trouble. His Royal Highness is in the bureau, and he may not know much, but in fact, the dishes of those high-class restaurants in the capital are not worse than the imperial meal. ”

King Liang was stunned.

Su Li looked at Lian Zining without blinking, as if she wanted to stick to him. There is indescribable tenderness and sweetness in his eyes.

Seeing Lian Zining talking eloquently in front of the dignified Prince Ming, she was indescribably happy in her heart - this is my man, he is the first great man in the world, a big husband!

Her heart suddenly burned hot. took a sip of wine and came to Lian Zining's eyes.

Lian Zining couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Su Li's eyes. The eagerness and anticipation, tenderness and fiery desire contained in those eyes. couldn't help but tremble in my heart, and suddenly understood what she meant.

He smiled. kissed Su Li's lips, the lips were hot, the little tongue gently opened the teeth, and a sip of wine came over.

Lian Zining swallowed gently, but he didn't let go, but pressed her shoulder and kissed her painfully.

After a long time, before parting, Su Li snorted, her chest rose and fell violently, and her eyes seemed to be dripping, as if the two had just finished a burst of joy in the dark.

She looked at Lian Zining and felt that she was a little wet underneath.

King Liang and Cui Wanrong were stunned when they watched this scene.

"Shameless." Cui Wanrong's face flushed, and she quickly turned her head, not daring to look again.

It's just that in her heart, she also has a yearning for this kind of stimulation, she only feels that her heart is pounding, indescribable nervousness, and there is even a trace of envy.

"Well, ahem! Cough! King Liang coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Wu Yibo is really a true temperament. ”

"It's not a true temperament, it's just that the lower officials are different from His Royal Highness." Lian Zining blinked meaningfully: "Lian Mou dominates one side, the sky is high and the earth is far away, no one can control it, so he naturally acts a lot more casually, and he can do whatever he wants." His Royal Highness is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he doesn't know how many eyes are staring around, and his words and deeds are cautious, for fear that people will find the wrong place. ”

Hearing him speak, King Liang was also bitter for a while, poured himself a glass of wine, and sighed: "What Wu Yibo said is not bad at all. ”

"Then Your Highness is here, that's right!" Lian Zining laughed and said: "The lower official will definitely be able to help His Highness and become a great treasure!" ”

Su Li suddenly screamed, but was stopped by Lian Zining and hugged her, Lian Zining's left hand happened to be pressed on her plump fat buttocks, kneading vigorously with her big hands, only to feel the buttocks circulating in her hands, Su Li sighed, and her heart thumped. Lian Zining strode out with Su Li in his arms, leaving behind a string of laughter: "Your Highness, eat and drink slowly, the lower officials can't hold back......"

Cui Wanrong's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it: "This Wu Yibo, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, so rude......"

King Liang's eyes were full of envy.

He just whispered four words: "Do it with your will, do it with your will." ”

At that moment, the heart of competing for the throne became an unprecedented hot expectation.

———————— Dividing Line————————

Liu Anzhen.

Located nineteen miles southwest of Zhenyuan Mansion, it is one of the dozens of towns that surround Zhenyuan Mansion.

There are more than 200,000 soldiers stationed in Zhenyuan Mansion all the year round, these soldiers are well paid, in the prime of life, full of energy, and most of them are single and have not yet started a family. Not to mention, in addition to these soldiers, there are tens of thousands of military families, family members and servants of officers at all levels, and families of those civilian officials in the Senate.

Lian Zining has always been lenient with his subordinates, on the one hand, he hates corruption, and he makes great efforts to rectify it, on the other hand, he is not as harsh on these civil officials as Zhu Yuanzhang, and he still has a lot of money. Let the horses run and don't give the horses grazing, Lian Zining really can't do this kind of thing. It's these officials. The conditions of each family's family are still very good, and their status was not very high. I haven't developed a luxury personality yet, so I'm living a good life. But within the town far away. No one else is allowed to exist except for soldiers and military families, and the officials of the Senate work in the city office, and there is no way to live in it.

As a result, the towns around Zhenyuan Mansion rose very quickly.

These towns are dotted around, among which there are a large number of shops and households, of course, there are more restaurants, brothels, and many officials have also set up their homes in the towns.

These towns were originally intended to serve as a commercial function to connect the surrounding villages and exchange goods. The second is to vent consumption for those soldiers who have some excess energy - according to the rules of the Wu Yi army, the soldiers have a day off every month, and the day before is the day of pay. Of course, the holidays between the various guards and even the thousands of households are staggered.

This kind of highly suggestive schedule makes it really unacceptable for Wu Yibo if these soldiers don't go out and have a good time.

Most of their choice was to send home half of their monthly salary, and the rest was to go to the surrounding towns in droves to eat, drink, and prostitute.

This is also Lian Zining's deliberate arrangement, and even the establishment of these surrounding towns and the industries on them that can survive are all planned by Lian Zining, after all, these young and middle-aged men are full of energy and fire when they are fed by Wu Yijun's big fish and meat. If you don't vent it, it's easy to get into trouble. And the brothels and restaurants in the surrounding towns can effectively solve this problem.

Of course, casinos are absolutely indispensable, and even Zizi would rather not want his soldiers to become rotten gamblers one by one.

And these towns. The business is developed and there are many shops, which has indeed added a lot of income to Wu Yijun's finances.

Liu'an Town is a big town. There are more than 1,000 families in the town, with four or five thousand people. The two crossroads are lined with shops and alleys. I don't know if it's the people's openness or what. It stands to reason that the brothel is not a prosperous period of business during the day, and it only begins to master at night, but it is different here - after all, Wu Yijun has a holiday during the day and has to go back to the camp at night.

Some of the small alleys were sneaking up with shabby flags, which were some unsightly private prostitutes, low-class places, and occasionally a figure came out of them. For those who don't have a lot of money and want to vent their fire, this is heaven.

It's just that there aren't many people in this town today, and I can't see many people when I walk around it. Everyone knows that Wu Yijun is about to fight, and they are all reorganizing the army, but they are not going on vacation.

There is a big mansion at the east end of the town, a typical northland mansion, a large courtyard with five entrances, I am afraid that it occupies seven or eight acres of land, red walls and green tiles, there are three steps at the door, and the vermilion gate is very magnificent. The front yard and the back yard, the east and west wings, are all available, and there is a big garden in the back. At a glance, you can know that the owner here is either rich or expensive.

There is a large plaque at the door, with two big characters "Xu Fu" written on it.

There are some subordinates in the house, but these subordinates are in a hurry when they walk.

Fuzhong entered the second gate, a very large blue brick square in front of the main hall, red beams and columns, bluestone steps, red walls and green tiles, both sides of the main hall gate also built a flower bed with bricks, and two big pomegranate trees were planted in it.

The door to the main hall was closed, and the atmosphere inside was so dreary that it almost suffocated.

There were four people sitting in the room, looking at the clothes and dressing, they all had some status, but they were all worried, sitting on the seat of the sour branch wood with a calm face and not speaking.

A middle-aged man in his forties was pacing around the room, he was dignified, and he had the momentum of a superior person, and he knew at a glance that he had been in power for a long time. It's just that at this time, his face was anxious, and he suddenly stood still, looked around at everyone, and stomped his feet: "Everyone, you are really calm!" What the hell should I do, but come up with a charter? If you don't want to think about it, the knife will be chopped off directly! ”

The fat man in a blue satin robe sat on top of him with a gray face, his godless eyes glanced at him, and muttered, "What's the way?" Wu Yibo wants to kill us, what can he do? ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Brother Ziduan, how can you say such deflating words?" If he wants to kill us, we won't be able to stretch our necks and be slaughtered, right? ”

The other two people also talked one after another, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

I haven't opened my mouth all the time. But he was an old man, and his hair was gray. No matter how old you are, you have to be about fifty, he coughed lightly. Said slowly: "Everyone, don't argue. ”

He obviously had some prestige in this small group, and as soon as he spoke, everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at him.

The old man said to the middle-aged man, "Yuanqi, the news you got is true?" ”

"Lord Liu, if it's not true, how dare I invite you all?" The officer said anxiously: "This morning, the gang of MI6 has been sealed by the former Department of Works." Those files and ledgers have all been taken away, and this is clearly about to be done! ”

This middle-aged man is the master here, surnamed Liu Mingsu, the word clerk Qi, the original official position is the Wailang of the Ministry of Works, and he is the second-in-command of the Department of Works after Shi Kai. However, it was later restructured. But he didn't get any official position, and he only had an idle job in the Highway Division.

He sighed, and said with a bleak face: "Some time ago, the system was restructured, and a few of us except for Lord Liu. I didn't get any benefits, I'm afraid I was already suspicious at that time. ”

This gray-bearded old man, Lord Liu, is the current water conservancy secretary Wailang. He can be regarded as a high-ranking official of the Senate.

He glanced at the people with different thoughts, and suddenly smiled grimly. showed a mouthful of yellowed rotten teeth, and said coldly: "These of us here now. There are those who have the original work department, there are Taifu Temple, there are Dali Temple, and there are criminal punishment offices, and they are quite alive. Taking advantage of the opportunity of requisitioning labor to repair official roads, city walls, and water conservancy, the five of us worked together and embezzled 130,000 taels of silver. In order to force the construction period, 63 people were killed, and there were not many disabled people, and there were some waves in the local area, which also pressed down for us to join forces! ”

"This official is an old qualification, since Wu Yibo came here, he has been an official under him, what kind of character he is, this official is clear. I remember the winter of the fifty-first year of Zhengde, when the Zhenyuan Mansion had not yet been built, and there were a few officials who were greedy for a hundred taels of silver, but they let him know, and they were slaughtered immediately, and the family property was confiscated. And all the other civil officials ordered him to kneel in the snow for a whole hour! Hong Chao is the leader of Lord Hong, and there is no shortage of one, it was cold that day! Master Liu touched his knee: "Since then, I have fallen to the root of this disease, and I still have no good idea, and it hurts when it rains and clouds!" ”

His tone was very calm, but what he said made everyone's hearts feel cold when they heard it.

Lord Liu teased a few other people with his eyelids, and sneered: "Guess what he would do if he knew about our dealings?" A thousand cuts or a half? Or is it cooked in a pan? ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but tremble, and their eyes were filled with fear.

Wu Yijun has killed countless people, and the legend of Wu Yibo's ruthlessness is widely spread outside the gate, and they are even more clear insiders.

The fat man's face was as bitter as a bitter gourd, and he actually howled and cried loudly, crying and howling: "I'd better go home as soon as possible and hang myself!" The province has affected the family. ”

His crying made everyone very upset.

Then Lord Liu's face sank, and he reprimanded in a cold voice: "Do you think that hanging yourself can save your family? Dream! Even if you die, your family will have to atone for your sins, your property will be confiscated, the men will be in the army, and the women will be slaves. Hey, there are not a few bitches in the government-run green building under the newly established Jiaofang Division, and the seven or eight concubines in your house are afraid that they are the first to pick up customers! ”

The terrifying prospect he depicted frightened everyone, and the fat man stopped crying, and looked at Lord Liu in a daze.

"How did you get those six or seven beautiful wives and concubines? How did Yuanqi's five-entry mansion come about? How did the 3,000 acres of land in the official's house come from? Lord Liu pointed to the chair where everyone was sitting: "How did you get this sour chair under your buttocks?" Isn't it all on corrupt money? The money is spent, but Wu Yibo has to let you spit it out little by little! ”

Everyone was silent.

Since they sat on the corrupt thing, they have also been frightened every day, and in the past few days, they have foreseen their own death, and their hearts are extremely anxious. And what I am most afraid of is not only my own death, but also my family.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, Lord Liu smiled mysteriously: "Everyone, I have a way here." Not only can you escape a catastrophe, but you will also be prosperous in the future. The future is limitless! ”

"Oh? What's the idea? When they heard this, they were greatly excited. They all asked.

"King Liang!" After a while, Lord Liu slowly spit out these two words.

"King Liang?" Everyone looked at each other at first, and then the expressions on their faces immediately became wonderful and eager, and the whole person seemed to be alive.

"King Liang?" The fat man hadn't slowed down a bit.

"Yes! His Royal Highness King Liang! Liu Su clapped his hands and said excitedly: "His Royal Highness King Liang is an angel of Qincha, how dare Wu Yibo do anything to him?" Besides, Wu Yibo has so many misdeeds, let's tell King Liang that he intends to rebel. King Liang will definitely protect us! In the future, I can't say that I can still be rewarded for meritorious deeds! ”

"That's right!" Lord Liu smiled self-consciously: "Yuan Qi is really a little clear." ”

Everyone was talking about it, and they all thought it was feasible, and they immediately discussed how to act.

It's just that at this time, a dark voice suddenly came from outside the door: "I'm afraid you don't have this opportunity!" ”

———————————— Dividing Line——————————

The night was dark, and the four fields were silent. On the official road leading to Wanqing Manor in Zhenyuan Mansion, a team drove over, many people with torches, looking from afar in the dark night, like a fire dragon. About dozens of people, clustered around several wagons.

The knights on the horse were all dressed in black, all dressed in black. The cuffs are white-edged, and the hat on the head is also inlaid with white edges, if you raise a mourning stick in your hand. It's really no different from black and white impermanence. The carriage was wrapped in black cloth on the outside, and from time to time a low moan or two could be heard from inside. But what is inside is completely invisible.

The dragon-like team quickly headed towards Wanqing Manor.

Half an hour later. Lian Zining, who had just poured out his desire in Su Li's mouth, received a report.

"You go to sleep first, and I'll come when I go." Lian Zining's fingers gently rubbed the corner of Su Li's mouth, picked up the scattered turbidity, and stuffed it into Su Li's mouth.

Su Li's little tongue curled slightly, and her throat shook slightly, and she swallowed it.

She was already flushed, weak and weak, and collapsed on the bed and said obediently: "Master, go, the slave and maid have boiled the water, and when they come back, they can clean their bodies." ”

Lian Zining frowned: "Didn't I tell you everything?" Don't call me master, you're not a slave. ”

"I like to be my master's slave." Su Li was not afraid of him, she glanced at him with silky eyes, and Lian Zining, who was harmed, rushed up again.

"You!" Even Zining couldn't do anything about him, shook his head, and went out by dressing.

West across the courtyard, under the steps.

Five or six people were kneeling on the ground with five flowers, their heads were covered with black cloths, and they couldn't see their faces, but from the analysis of their body shape, they were Liu Su's group of people.

Lian Zining put on a big coat and stared at the kneeling people below, his face sinking like water.

Li Tie whispered beside him, and the more he continued, the more ugly Lian Zining's face became, and there was a faint flame burning in his eyes.

After Li Tie finished speaking, he stepped aside.

Lian Zining took a deep breath and waved his hand: "Take off the black cloth on their faces for me!" ”

When the mask was taken off, they revealed those faces that were extremely frightened, because their eyes had been in a dark environment for a long time, and when they saw the light at first glance, they couldn't help but squint their eyes, and when they saw Lian Zining, there was a trace of horror and despair in their eyes.

Lian Zining couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, strode in front of Lord Liu, and kicked his chest with a heartwarming kick.

Lord Liu screamed, wow, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.

Lian Zining kicked him to the ground, kicked him regardless of it, and scolded fiercely: "You thief bird, bastard, a dog who kills a thousand knives." If there is no Lao Tzu, you can be an official and become a master? You are corrupt, you should have been killed, and you even dared to frame Lao Tzu with others! Do you really think Lao Tzu is muddy? I'm going to kill you! ”

After kicking for a while, seeing that the old man was already dying, bleeding all over his face, and having more air and less air intake, Lian Zining smiled at this time: "Haven't you had enough of living sin?" It's too cheap for you to die just like that. ”

He was really angry, these people were not only corrupt, but they also wanted to deal with themselves, they really deserved to be killed!

This time, regardless of the dignity of the kicking, the anger in his heart also disappeared a lot, and he didn't turn his head back: "Li Tie? (To be continued.) )
