Chapter 80: The King of the County Makes a Move
Ling Yuanhang took a break and went to Xidaying after the next rest day. The county king and the second lord also lived their own Beijing official life from 9 to 5, and everything in the county king's mansion seemed to be back to normal, and people met each other as usual. However, what kind of dark tide is brewing under this calm, not everyone can feel it.
On this day, as soon as Ling Yuanhui came down to the court, a little beggar sent him a note. There are a few lines of words on it: "A person comes to Zhuangzi outside the city to discuss something", signed "King An".
Ling Yuanhui was a little puzzled, how could King An ask him to go outside, didn't he and himself have always met in the Drunken Immortal Tower? And let him go alone, not allowed to take anyone, what is so secret? He thought in wonder as he walked out. ?
Ling Yuanhui rode alone to the agreed place outside the city, which had a forest and was not far from the Zhuangzi of the county king's mansion. When he could already faintly see the outline of Zhuangzi, he stopped, and the person who was waiting for him with a horse in front of him was not King An, but his brother King Lingjun. So he came to him, rolled over and dismounted, and just stood on his feet. Ling Yuanzhi punched him in the stomach, and this punch gave him enough strength to knock him to a stagger. He yelled: Big brother, what are you doing here. ”
Ling Yuanzhi didn't answer, and punched him twice in the face. Ling Yuanhui felt that something was wrong, Ling Yuanzhi was beating him to death. Ling Yuanhui began to fight back, and the two fought like this, and the two really fought. No one is weak. The two of them fought each other like a dumb puzzle for a quarter of an hour. Ling Yuanhui was not Ling Yuanzhi's opponent in the end, and was kicked to the ground by Ling Yuanzhi's backhand. Ling Yuanhui had already vaguely guessed the reason why Ling Yuanzhi was so ruthless in attacking him.
Ling Yuanzhi pressed Ling Yuanhui's two legs with his right leg. The two hands tightly grasped Ling Yuanhui's hand. He said angrily: "Ling Yuanhui, you are a brute, you can also do it to your relatives, Hang'er is your own nephew." You started to kill him when he was thirteen years old, if it weren't for Hang'er's good kung fu and big life, he would have died in your hands a long time ago, you tell me, why did you kill him. ”
Ling Yuanhui struggled: "You slandered me, what evidence do you have to prove that I want to kill Hang'er." ”
Ling Yuanzhi sneered: "Don't think that you have done it tightly, there are no loopholes, you think that if you kill all the bandits and the taxis who participated in this incident, there will be no one in the world who knows, but your God will punish a bad person like you." Don't you think you didn't kill everyone? Didn't you think that there were people who escaped death? Didn't you think that I would hear what you did from Su Cheng's mouth? Ling Yuanhui, how could our Ling family have such a scum as you. You don't deserve the surname Ling. ”
Ling Yuanhui held back the pain, he asked with red eyes: "Since you already know, I don't have to hide it from you." Yes, I did it a few years ago. What are you going to do?"
Ling Yuanzhi was so angry that he punched him again, and roared: "Hang'er is sorry for you, you want to kill him." Isn't it just a knighthood, you kill your own nephew for a title. If it weren't for Ah Yu and Ah Fan, I would have expelled you from the Ling family. ”
Hearing Ling Yuanzhi mention Ah Yu and Ah Fan, Ling Yuanhui was deflated: "Since you know, I won't hide it, I want to kill Hang'er." I want you to have no son-in-law, and your father only loves you and your third brother, leaving me and my mother for more than ten years. I hate my father, I hate you, I have always grown up in the county king's mansion, and I should be the master of this county palace. ”
The prince of the county was so angry that he used his hand hard, only to hear his scream, and his right arm was broken by the king of the county. Ling Yuanhui shouted in pain: "Ling Yuanzhi, I'm going to kill you." ”
King Ling Jun let go of him: "You also have to have the ability to kill me, you hate your father, you hate your third brother and me, but we all treat you as our closest person." Do you know how much your father cared about you in the barracks? You know that your father deliberately made people pay attention to your growth in the capital for the sake of your growth. Later, when my father saw that you were too close to the Marquis of Huaiyuan's mansion, my father resolutely took you to the border and wanted to take you with him personally. You have no conscience, your father thinks about you all the time, but you have to hate him. You unfilial son. ”
In a fit of rage, the king broke off his other arm. Ling Yuanhui screamed in pain, and Ling Yuanhui shouted fiercely in a hoarse voice: "Ling Yuanzhi, I'm going to kill you." ”
"I'm waiting for you to kill me, and now you answer my other question, whether this matter has anything to do with my mother. ”
"Ling Yuanzhi, you bastard, how dare you doubt your mother, this matter is my own idea, and it has nothing to do with my mother. Ling Yuanhui's muscles burst out.
Okay, I will believe what you said, and there is another thing, your official position was not arranged for you by King An. Why did you accept King An's arrangement? Why didn't you listen to your father? You forgot your father's instructions, you unfilial son, you yourself are involved in the dispute between the crown prince, are you going to kill our Ling family?"
Well, let me tell you, King An found out about my attack on Ah Hang a few years ago, and he used it to threaten me, and I had no choice but to cooperate with him. But I'll be careful later. King An's mother's concubine is so powerful, where can the prince be able to compete, as long as King An becomes the emperor in the future, I will have the merit of being a dragon, how can I bring disaster to the Ling family. I will make the Ling family more prosperous. ”
Facing this obsessive younger brother, Ling Yuanzhi really felt hopeless. He increased the strength in his hand, and kicked Ling Yuanhui's leg off with a strong kick. Beads of sweat on Ling Yuanhui's face fell straight down. Ling Yuanzhi continued to ask: "Let me ask you one more thing, when you went to the northwest to deliver grain, was it you who poisoned the people who transported the grain and horses?"
It's me, Ling Yuanhui no longer has the strength to struggle, he closed his eyes in pain: "Okay, it's already like this, I'll just say it all." It was Wei Zhongping who asked me to do things on grain and grass, the purpose is to make you have no military rations in the northwest, and then the Warat soldiers can take the opportunity to eliminate your father and son. “
Ling Yuanzhi was so angry that his eyes were red, he slapped Ling Yuanhui in the face, and he shouted angrily: "Ling Yuanhui, you are a traitor." ”
Ling Yuanhui said: "I just don't want your father and son to come back, I don't want to betray the country." Besides, I just poisoned the horse, but I didn't burn the grain and grass, I just wanted the grain and grass to be half a month late. I don't want to destroy all the grain and grass of Dayuan. ”
Ling Yuanzhi was happy: "So, Ling Yuanhui, do I have to thank you for not burning all the grain and grass." If it weren't for Guan Hou Ye and Yaru this time, your goal would indeed be achieved, but you still had a bad move. Let me tell you. Aru has noticed you a long time ago, and the real grain and grass have long been transferred. ”
Ling Yuanhui hung his head and said, "Yes, I heard about it." Yaru used the plan of repairing the plank road in the bright and dark granary to transport the grain and grass to you in time. My plan failed. ”
Ling Yuanzhi asked again: "Does the Marquis of Huaiyuan Mansion and King An have anything to do with Wara?"
Ling Yuanhui shook his head: "I don't know, when Wei Zhongping asked me to burn grain and grass, he just said that the forces of you and Yuanhang are too strong, they are not easy to control, and it is not good for King An, so I want to weaken you so that you can't come back." It also served my purpose. Didn't say anything about the relationship with Warat. ”
"Ah Yu and Ah Fan are both good children, if you want to keep their future, you should stay at home in the future. Don't go to court again, otherwise they will still look for you, today I will abolish your leg, so that you will not be able to become an official in the future, as for the future of Ah Yu and Ah Fan, I will take care of it. I'll rot in my stomach about this matter, and I won't let Ah Yu and Ah Fan know. Do it yourself. Someone will come and take you home, and you can find a reason to justify yourself. With that, he got up, mounted his horse, and walked away.
Ling Yuanhui struggled to stand up, but his left leg couldn't move at all. He knew that Ling Yuanzhi had really scrapped one of his legs. He thought that the consequences were good, but he was also a cripple, and he no longer had the qualifications to be an official. The imperial court will not let a cripple become an official, not to mention that he doesn't know if he will be able to stand up in the future. He looked weakly at the direction in which Ling Yuanzhi had left. His eyes were full of gloom.
Ling Yuanhui was sent home by Zheng Tong, Ling Yuanhui's statement to the family was that he met a few bandits when he went outside to do things, but he didn't beat anyone, thanks to Zheng Tong passing by and saving himself, or his life could not be saved. When he said this, Zheng Tong also became his life-saving benefactor, there was no way, only this method he felt could make others believe.
This news frightened the people of the county king's mansion a lot. Li found the best orthopedic doctor in the capital to connect Ling Yuanhui's arm, but the leg was comminuted and fractured and could not be connected.
In the second room, there are noisy chickens and dogs, but in Linlang's room, Linlang and Yaru are happily looking forward to the future.
Yaru said, "After the dish of sauerkraut fish came up, the business of Tianyi Pavilion was better than the original, and I wanted to open a Tianyi Pavilion in Tongzhou, there is our house in Tongzhou, and we can send reliable people to develop it there." In the future, a smaller Ruyi restaurant will be opened in Guojia Town, so that our people can also find out the news of the Warat people at any time there. On the third uncle's side, Yangchengguan also opened a Tianyi Pavilion, and let the third aunt help me manage it.
Linlang smiled: "Aru, look at your style, don't you want to open shops like Tianyi Pavilion and Ruyi Ke Kuo in places that are connected with you in Dayuan?"
Yaru nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, mother, we will open one by one, and one day I will have my Tianyi Pavilion and Ruyi Guest Meal in the whole Dayuan." ”
Linlang also put away her joking smile, and she said solemnly: "Aru, I support you, I think you will succeed, I will do my best to help you." ”
Yaru smiled: "It's not that I succeed, but that we succeed." Saying that, she put her hand on Linlang's hand, Linlang grabbed her hand with her backhand, and the slender hands of the two people clasped tightly together.
They themselves didn't expect that many years later, they would really do business all over the country of Dayuan, and their name would spread to all corners of Dayuan.
