Chapter 321: Enemy Movement
Chapter 321: Enemy Movement
"Oh?"
Jingkong narrowed his eyes slightly, he left the capital to take refuge in this Luoshui Town for more than half a year, although he can receive a book from the flying pigeons in the capital every half a month, and the letters can also know the situation above the court today, but after all, people are not among them, and those changes cannot be truly experienced after all.
When did the capital come out of the mountains? Or is it an easily unshakable mountain?
"Who is it?"
"Cai Wenlian, the secretary of the ministry."
Zhao Delong raised his head and said in a low voice.
"Master, do you remember him?"
"Cai Wenlian, this is an acquaintance, how could I not remember, but I didn't expect that this eunuch villain climbed so fast and had already climbed to such a high position."
It was dark outside, the candlelight inside the room was yellow, and his face became colder and colder in this dimness, his voice was deep and powerful, but his eyes were empty, as if he was caught in the memories of the old days.
That's right, Cai Wenlian was just a eunuch in the East Palace before, but in just half a year, he turned into a secretary of the ministry, which is shocking.
At the beginning, it was this gelding dog who quietly moved his hands and feet beside him, and bent to please himself, confusing his own mind, and finally ......
On the day when he was defenseless, he killed the killer.
If it weren't for this person, he wouldn't be incognito in this small Luoshui Town now, if it weren't for this person, the East Palace would not have been burned down overnight, if it weren't for this person, he would still be the prince of the East Palace, the most favored son of his father, and the future monarch of the Liang Kingdom.
But the battle between the DPRK and China is surging, why not Cai Wenlian alone wants to kill himself? The person behind Cai Wenlian, the group of people, are all staring at him.
"Master, Cai Wenlian has been rising step by step since your funeral, but it has only been half a year to get to where he is now, in the final analysis, there are still people behind him."
Zhao Zhixian looked at the calm face of the clear sky, but he knew that this master must have set off a storm in his heart, from the pride of the sky to the point where he is now incognito in this town to save his life, and the murderer who killed him at the beginning has been promoted all the way to the rank of official Shangshu, this kind of feeling, for any person, it is difficult to bear.
However, the former prince of the East Palace smiled slightly after pondering for a while.
"If Cai Wenlian had no one to support him, he would naturally not have come to this position, it seems that the fifth brother and his favorite concubine are becoming more and more powerful."
"Yes, I heard that the concubine Niangniang has been cooperating with the Taiwei in the past half a year, buying and selling official positions, and the five princes have not been less involved, and they have gathered a group of cronies to coax Your Majesty...... Now that he can't listen to the slightest advice, he is still acting nonsense by that group of eunuchs, and the loyal ministers of the court and the central government dare to be angry but dare not speak. ”
Zhao Zhixian's face was solemn, and his voice was very heavy in this silent night, although he was now a magistrate, he was an unusual magistrate, and he was extremely sensitive to the affairs of the court in the capital.
A fire lit up in his dark eyes, and he struggled to control his breathing and emotions.
As a former prince, he has a passion and fighting spirit, just for this great rivers and mountains, for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, prosperous and well-organized, but his great rivers and mountains have fallen into the hands of traitors, and his father is blinded by the ministers, how can he not be sad?
The air was quiet for a while, and occasionally candles burst, and the two were silent for a long time, and they sighed in the air, but asked again.
"Luoshui Town is located in a remote area, but Cai Wenlian sent someone to open a tavern here, did he find something unusual here?" Just love
"Master, it's not a secret, the slave also has this guess, today the slave just found out the backer behind the Yang family's wine, and immediately asked someone to investigate the purpose of their coming here, and sure enough, they found something."
Zhao Zhixian immediately reported.
"This Yang family's liquor was originally doing business in the Xiangshui area, and suddenly broke into the small place of Luoshui Town to sell wine, and the servants also felt that there was something strange inside, not so much selling wine, but rather the five princes who became suspicious, suspecting that the master's original death was false, and deliberately sent someone under the guise of probing the truth ......"
"That fifth brother of Ben Wang, he really has a sensitive nose, it's only been half a year, and he touched it......"
Jingkong raised his head, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but his dark and deep eyes were cold.
Zhao Delong nodded again and again, his eyes were full of worry, and he said in a low voice.
"Master, the slave just found out about this matter, originally wanted to wait and see what happened, and use today's business dispute between the Yang family's wine and the Ling family's shop to find out the real purpose of the forces behind the Yang family, so he put the fourth young master of the Ling family in prison for the time being......"
At this point, he cautiously glanced up at the clear space, and his tone became more low and humble.
"The slave only knew that the fourth young master of the Ling family had a place in the master's heart, and he was afraid that the master would be worried because of this, so he dared not report to the master, and asked the master to punish him."
"Boom!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a kick on the shoulder, and his whole body fell to the ground.
The dark eyes of the clear sky were sharp, the slender thick eyebrows were frowned, the red lips were tense, and the anger was not concealed at all.
"Dog minion, I see that you are really bold now, shouting at the master in your mouth, but you are doing treachery behind your back, I see that you are similar to Cai Wenlian, and you are about to sell the traces of this king to others!"
"Master, master, how dare a minion?"
Zhao Delong's sideburns were cold and sweaty, and he leaned over to the ground and kowtowed, and while kowtowing, his voice was already crying.
"The slave has been taught by his father since he was a child, and he should follow the queen's mother, and in the future, he will teach me to take His Royal Highness the prince as the main master, and the slave will never dare to be treacherous, nor dare to go against his father's wishes, and become a slave of such a traitor, please learn from the master."
"Don't dare to betray me, then why do you dare to take this king's words as fart, don't protect him, and stuff him in prison!"
Jingkong couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and the more he spoke, the more angry he became, one hand tightly pinched the corner of his clothes, and his chest rose and fell violently.
"He is so thin, with such a weak body, how can he stand the dampness of your county jail, if he goes wrong with you, Lao Tzu will want your whole family to die!"
"Master, you are angry, the fourth young master of the Ling family is in prison on the surface, but in fact, he was placed in another place by the slave, how dare the slave let the master's people stay in the county government prison, master, please calm your anger."
Such an angry Royal Highness the Prince, Zhao Delong is the first time to see it, this Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Middle Palace is born smart, and he has known since he was a child that he is a candidate to inherit the unification, so he has developed a temperament that is moody and temperamental since he was a child, even if he experiences life and death events, he is also calm and calm.
Why is it that for such a person today, he is so angry and has lost all his composure?
He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, but he couldn't understand in his heart no matter what, what kind of person was the fourth young master of the Ling family, who could make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so attentive.
He was thinking in his heart, but the collar was grabbed, and his face was clearly anxious and expectant.
"And where is he?"
