Chapter 36: Teahouse Talk
Chapter 36 Teahouse Talk
Entering the cold winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is already night, and there are few palace maids and eunuchs on the road. Chen Li gathered the dark coat on his body, carefully avoided others, and tried his best to follow the dark and remote path towards the northernmost palace of the palace.
As he got closer, the feeling of desolation and ruin came to his face, and even the wind that blew over made it even colder. Pushing open the door of the cold palace, he saw the black figure standing under the bare tree with his back on his back, and his heart also lifted.
"What's going on?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, the figure covered in a black cloak turned around and asked coldly.
"The master is angry, originally we stunned Wang Zhiwei and the three of them together, dragged people to the imperial study and were about to attack Wang Zhiwei, but somehow Zhu Tianrui happened to wake up, and saw me and Xiaozhuzi planning to kill Wang Zhiwei, in a hurry, we had to kill him and then plant it for Wang Zhiwei."
Manager Chen knelt on the ground, Ji Li restrained his trembling body, lowered his head and whispered to explain, although it was winter, his palms were full of fine sweat.
"Do you know that you have ruined my big thing this time? You should have given them all the results at that time, you and I know how much Wang Gang dotes on his son, and now he is afraid that he will ask for me! The black-robed figure couldn't help but reprimand in a low voice.
"The master forgives the sin, it's a small mistake!"
"You've done something stupid! That's it, it's already like this now, it's useless to talk more, I'll find a way to deal with Wang Gang's place! If you really can't, you can only give him up! The black-robed man sighed helplessly and then turned to leave.
Seeing that the person had left, Chen Licai got up from the cold ground tremblingly. The temperament of the master is becoming more and more cold, and the whole person seems to be more ruthless and more bearable! It seems that he still can't let go of that incident at the beginning!
General Ning's Mansion
"Jinchen, what's going on tonight? You obviously don't have time to do it, and I obviously just asked you to get the three of them to the imperial study, and then destroy the imperial study to blame them, why did you kill Zhu Tianrui directly, although this did achieve the goal of putting Wang Zhiwei in prison! As soon as he returned to the house, Xu Mengmeng opened his mouth to ask the doubts in his heart.
"General, this matter was not done by me, after receiving your hint at that time, I was going to follow and find the right time to do something to them, but I was stopped by Xiao Yezi." Jinchen didn't expect that Xiao Yezi's action when he heard it actually meant murder, but was his heart too soft?
"Little leaf? How did he know that someone was going to do something against the three evils in the capital? ”
He overheard the discussion between the chief manager of the Jingshi room Chen and Xiao Zhuzi, who was also under the command of Gonggong Fu. The general can rest assured, I have already explained to Xiao Yezi and asked him to keep an eye on Manager Chen and that little bamboo in the future. ”
Respectful room manager Chen? The people behind this scene really don't stop at all, they just pulled the third prince off the horse, and now they are starting to deal with Wang Gang again! But this man has some ability, and there are enough people under his command who can use it!
"Well, send a few people to keep an eye on Wang Gang these days, I want to see who he is!" The only son is about to be beheaded, Xu Mengmeng doesn't believe that Wang Gang's old puppet can still sit still, and the person he asks for help must be inseparable from the person who framed Baifu.
The next day
"General, General Ye is here!"
"Well, please ...... No, I'd better go out! Xu Mengmeng didn't expect that this Ye Ting really didn't shy away from the door at all, but he was so casual, Xu Mengmeng had to be cautious in his words and deeds, after all, the old emperor's suspicion is very serious.
"I was a little injured not long ago, and now I can't accompany General Ye to learn or get drunk, how about we go for a cup of tea together?" couldn't lead people to the house, Xu Mengmeng had no choice but to entertain Ye Ting outside.
"That's really a coincidence, Ye Mou invited himself to come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty this time to have another discussion with General Ning, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it now!"
"If you really want to find someone to compete, I still have so many good kung fu under my hands, and even I am not their opponent, how about it? If you're interested, I'll arrange it for you. ”
"I can't even beat you, so how can I fight with them beyond my strength! Isn't that a rush to get beaten? Ye Ting teased.
"Come on, you, others don't know what that battle was all about, don't you and I still know? Today, let's have a good drink, drink tea, chat and listen to music in this Yunqi teahouse! Xu Mengmeng said and pulled Ye Ting to find a private seat facing the street by the window on the second floor and sat down.
"By the way, I came here this time, and my brother asked me to ask you, if I hadn't thrown in the towel at that time, and the dagger you took out was taken away by me, what weapon would you use against me? To be honest, I've always been curious about this question! ”
"Actually, I also hid an embroidery needle on my sleeve at that time, if you don't admit defeat or take my dagger, I will also get close to you, deliberately lose your move, and then slap the needle into the back of your head while you are not paying attention, so that if you can still live, then I can only send Rong Cheng to you!" Xu Mengmeng shrugged his shoulders and said.
"I'm glad I threw in the towel! Otherwise, I guess I wouldn't be able to sit here and drink tea with you like I am now! Ye Ting didn't expect that Ning Jun's brain was really different from others, and he could think of such a ruthless move.
"I still have a question, you can actually solve me with one knife at that time, so that I can also be regarded as losing, and you can also get rid of an enemy general for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, why do you still leave me with the opportunity to take advantage of it, I don't believe you will not know how powerful it is?"
"At the time, I was just trying to gamble, and it turned out I won. You are different from the one named Lin Chi in your country, you are a man, in fact, if I guessed correctly, the slaughter of the people of Yicheng was the handiwork of that Lin Chi, right?
Of course, the most important point is that our reinforcements have arrived, you attacked us because of the great drought in Western Chu, lack of money and food, and want to plunder some from us, if the two armies continue to fight, you can't afford to spend it, so I don't need to dye the blood of an innocent person on my hands, in fact, you were so happy to withdraw your troops at that time because of my last sentence? ”
"You and I are both courtiers, so you are actually just acting on orders, the reason why you attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty is mainly for food!
In fact, I think you Western Chu monarchs are also stupid, because I have always felt that relying on plunder to strengthen the country and enrich the people is the next way to go! Since the two countries have good relations, why not exchange business with each other and trade freely, but choose the way of war, not to mention the cost of labor and money, and may also give others an opportunity to take advantage of!
If it weren't for the happiness of thousands of people, I'd rather be a ...... who wouldn't even kill chickens Zhao Qianrou! Xu Mengmeng suddenly stopped as he spoke, his eyes staring straight at the familiar figure below.
