Lao Zhao was indeed running around for Pei Lingpan Restaurant, but when he was doing these things, he also sent the news back to Mrs. Lin by the way.

He felt that someone was following him behind him, and he didn't have to think about it to know that there was no one else who was following him except the person sent by Pei Ling.

But he wasn't worried at all, anyway, everything he had done along the way was something he had done in order to be able to successfully shoot the restaurant.

Whether it is to inquire about the news of several other opponents involved in the auction, or to personally find the person in charge of this auction, and use various means and eloquence to get more inside information about this auction from the person in charge, Lao Zhao has done his best to make people have no doubt at all.

The people who followed Lao Zhao saw that there was really nothing to do, so they began to find someone to ask about Lao Zhao's origin according to Pei Ling's instructions.

They can be said to have walked all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and really obtained a lot of useful information from the people in the capital.

For example, Lao Zhao has always been alone now, because a few years ago, his wife and children both died in an accident, and since then he has never continued to live alone;

For example, Lao Zhao turned out to be a figure with a head and a face, and in Beiaoguo, he was actually a nobleman who was not big or small, and he originally occupied a place in Beiao's officialdom.

But later, for some reason, Lao Zhao withdrew from the center of the imperial court, and started a small official in the official office without a formal official name, dealing with miscellaneous matters in the official office every day, receiving some money from the official office, and living a day to live a day.

Then I don't know when, because of what, Lao Zhao didn't even do the work in the official office.

He began to mingle in the market, at first he learned to resell all kinds of shops, and then later, the imperial court implemented a guarantee system, and Lao Zhao began to be a guarantor by virtue of his experience in land sales and door shops for so many years in the government and when he was doing teeth.

These experiences are very ordinary and very normal, so these people sent by Pei Ling to listen to Lao Zhao's details have not gained much.

Pei Ling had already told them very clearly, if they could only take these things back and tell Pei Ling, I am afraid that they would not have any good fruits to eat.

Hu Ling, the person who relied on the favor of the middle lord, was not afraid of Pei Ling, but a few of them were still a little afraid. After all, they are all members of the team who were personally selected by Pei Ling, and they can be regarded as half of Pei Ling's direct subordinates.

According to the rules of their Donglin country, if they can't do this, even if Pei Ling directly drives them out of Donglin, they won't be able to resist.

As a result, these people can only continue to dig deep into the unknown things behind Lao Zhao.

For example, why did Lao Zhao suddenly retreat from the imperial court, and why did he not even wait for the official office later.

They felt that there must be something wrong with this.

Pei Ling's people were rushing to find out Lao Zhao's details.

Sima Jingling's side is already preparing to go out of the city.

After meeting with Mrs. Lin and the old subordinates left behind by his father, he began to spend a lot of energy to make up for the development and changes of the situation in the Northern Proud Kingdom over the years and various affairs, filling in the gaps in the situation of the Northern Proud Kingdom over the years.

He signed one plan after another, so that all the people scattered all over the Northern Proud Country, who they called orthodox, took action, and the entire Northern Proud Country was lively.

Only the capital city has not moved so far, as if waiting for an opportunity.

Sima Jingling had already ordered Qiulan and the others to pack up their things, and she was sitting in the courtyard at this moment, watching the hot sun be covered by the clouds from time to time, and then burst out with a more intense light, as if she was fighting against the clouds in anger, and was covered by the clouds for a while, and then she wanted to release her absolute heat even harder, so that the whole earth was covered with a hot atmosphere, and there was no cool air at all.

In this way, although the clouds eventually completely covered the sun, it could not stop it, and the sun did its best to release the terrifying heat.

After Ah Pu arranged the latest task instructions, he accompanied Sima Jingling and sat in the shade of a tree in the courtyard.

He looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, felt the stagnation of the air around him, and said as if with a sigh, "It's going to change." ”

Hearing this, Sima Jingling looked at Ah Pu, and it didn't matter how Apo had progressed in the past two days, and how far they had come, but echoed it,

"Well, it's going to change. I've been here for so long, and this is the first time I've felt what a rainy day is like in Beiao.

But if you want to enjoy the rain, outside the city is a good place to go. ”

Ah Pu nodded, as if agreeing with Sima Jingling's words.

He opened his mouth to say something, then shook his head again, swallowed what he wanted to say.

He thought to himself, it was just a short separation, and after he stabilized the affairs here, he would follow Sima Jingling back to the Southern Imperial Kingdom, and at that time, they would still have a lot of opportunities to get along, so they could say whatever they wanted, so why bother with this time?

Besides, it's a bit strange to say this.

So, Ah Pu laughed, just like the innocent and cunning, pure and bewitching appearance he always showed in front of Sima Jingling.

Sima Jingling also smiled.

The two sat quietly for a while, and after a while, Sima Jingling should leave.

For a while, they didn't say anything, they didn't do anything, they all seemed to understand something, and it seemed that something was about to come out in a hazy way, and finally they all returned to peace.

Sima Jingling and them, it was very smooth to go out of the city.

After learning that Sima Jingling had successfully left the city and found a suitable place to stay, Ah Pu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and continued to cheer up and deal with the next matters.

Since Wei Rong was announced to the palace that day, except for an occasional return in the middle, he has never been able to come back, and he was left in the palace by Wei Jing every day, not knowing what he was discussing.

Therefore, when Ah Pu finally finished dealing with the affairs in hand, when he walked out of the door and saw Wei Rong, he was indeed a little surprised.

He raised his eyebrows, sat down beside Wei Rong, and asked, "Wei Jing is finally willing to put you back?" ”

Wei Rong glanced slightly to his side, and said slowly: "After all, I just went to the palace for a few more days to drink tea and be a guest, how can you compare to your busyness?"

Why, Your Highness, are you finally baring your fangs? ”

Apo chuckled, but didn't admit or deny it.

From the moment he decided to meet those old subordinates, he had already been prepared not to hide, so Wei Rong knew something, it was all something he expected.

However, Wei Jing's side has not reacted yet, which actually makes Ah Pu's heart have a lot of thoughts.

He glanced at Wei Rong meaningfully, as if he meant something,

"You've been with Wei Jing for so long, haven't you talked to Wei Jing about something else, and reminded him alive that his country can't sit still?"

Wei Rong also smiled and said to Ah Pu: "How do you know that I didn't talk to him?" ”

Hearing this, Ah Cheng turned his head and glanced at Wei Rong a few times, but did not say anything, but continued to sit, looking at the increasingly gloomy sky.

At this time, there is already a cool breeze blowing.

"The ambition of Donglinguo is very straightforward in front of Wei Jing, he is now on the verge of anger every day, and he can't wait to personally break the corpses of those people in Donglinguo.

But he couldn't do that yet.

How many people were sent by Donglinguo, and in addition to these people who are now entering the city, there are other people hiding in the shadows, these are all unknown things for Wei Jing. Therefore, he couldn't move people, and he had to suppress his impatience and anger, and every day he sent people to keep an eye on what those people were doing.

Hmm, do you know how many people have been killed and injured in the palace recently? How can he still have enough mind to take care of you, our returning Highness Proton? ”

"I'm not His Highness the Proton." Agui interrupted him with a smile, "I'm just an ordinary person with no name and no share. ”

Ah Pu heard the little unwillingness to please Wei Rong's words, but at this time, he couldn't fully trust Wei Rong.

Wei Jing's tyrannical nature became more and more undisguised, and although the interior of the capital city looked the same as usual, after Ah Pu came into contact with Mrs. Lin and them, he was still keenly aware of a potential change in the capital.

The hotter the more people showed their dissatisfaction with Wei Jing.

Although most of the people in the palace were sold into the palace in order to subsidize their families, not all of them willingly sent their children to the palace, and most of them were forced to abandon their children.

They don't have their own land, and they don't have anything else to make a profit from, so they rent land and make very simple things by hand to exchange them for money in the market.

If, at this time, those county lords and the like, whatever name they use, increase the taxes of these people, then they can only send their children out with tears.

If he really resists to the end, it is not a big deal to severely injure the head of the family and make him completely lose the ability to work and resist.

So in the end, their children will still be forcibly escorted to the palace.

Originally, the number of people who were sent to the palace every year was fixed and there was a certain limit.

But because of Wei Jing's tyrannical nature, sometimes he can't hold back his hands, and it is really common to beat people to death directly.

As soon as this man died, there was a shortage of people in the palace, so they had to enter from outside the palace.

As more and more people are killed and injured in the uterus, the demand for people is also increasing.

It's just one family, two families, two families, three families, and thousands of households, and the resentment in the hearts of the people naturally increases exponentially.

The reason why he hasn't resisted yet is that he is still missing that opportunity.

When Wei Rong said this to Apu, he was actually telling Apu that the opportunity had come.

But is this opportunity really the most suitable opportunity? Abu wasn't convinced.

Therefore, he did not take Wei Rong's words, but remained silent.

Wei Rong saw that Ah Pu was just smiling, but he didn't answer for a long time, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Just as he was about to say something more, the servant hurried over, and after glancing at him and Apu, he whispered,

"Something's wrong."

Torrential rain suddenly poured down.

With lightning and thunder, Ah Pu and Wei Rong all went out.

Wei Rong, as the person who was summoned by Wei Jing on the surface, as soon as he got out of the alley, there was a carriage waiting to pick him up; Ah Pu, on the other hand, hid in the shadows and followed Mrs. Lin to the place of the incident.

Both of them listened to the report of the visitor, and then they knew that it was the group of people from the east who had an accident.

There was another poisoning incident in that group of people, except for the leader Pei Ling and some of the team members, everyone else was poisoned and died.

And the poisoner was pierced through the heart by Pei Ling's sword and was silent.

Xu was in too much turmoil, and when he saw someone reporting to the official, Pei Ling knew that he was in trouble, so he left with a part, preparing to attract the attention of the Beiao Mansion, while leaving a small number of people, pretending not to know anything, and continued to stay where they were.

Wei Jing came to Wei Rong for this matter.

Apo and Mrs. Lynn are the same.

This time, because Wei Jing was staring at this group of people all the time, he came in a timely manner, and he was not passive when he couldn't go to the scene.

When Wei Rong and Ah Pu, who were hidden in the shadows, came, they saw that in the two connected rooms, there were dead people who were not looking at each other, and there was a sharp sword, directly stuck in the chest, leaning against the wall, and the blood stained the wall behind him.

But there was a twisted smile on his face.

After taking one look, he quietly left, returned to the carriage and asked Mrs. Lin, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Mrs. Lin said: "I heard that there was an internal conflict, and the details are still being verified.

But what is certain now is that the person who was killed by the sword was indeed the one who poisoned him. He poisoned the food, intending to kill the leader.

But unexpectedly, the leader did not use food for the first time, and by the time he came, someone had already died. ”

"That's why he killed people in a fit of rage, didn't he?" After listening to Mrs. Lin's words, Ah Pu thought about it carefully and said to Mrs. Lin, "No, there must be other problems here, the poison may really be caused by their own people, but the person who was killed by the sword is not necessarily. ”

Mrs. Lin was surprised, "You mean, there are other people in here?" ”

Ah Pu nodded,

"There must be someone else in this, but I don't know if this person is friend or foe."

When Mrs. Lin heard this, her face suddenly became solemn.

She said to Apu, "I will definitely find out about this matter." ”

Ah Pu shook his head and said to Mrs. Lin: "No, you don't need to do anything in this matter, take this opportunity, I want to test someone." ”
