Chapter 379: Death

The sky was already dark. Liu Dongxing and his entourage exited the large courtyard where everyone in the palace gathered, and came to an inconspicuous small courtyard near the back door. A good hand of the General Administration Department looked around to make sure that there were no bystanders around, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and took a break in the small courtyard, discussing what to do next.

The people of Zheng Wangfu took the first step, took Zhu Jiayi without burden, threatened everyone in Kang Wangfu to submit, and killed Wang Yongtai, who was the leader. In this way, it will not work to block the Rong'an garrison through the people in King Kang's mansion, but if you want to stop the Rong'an garrison in front of the people in King Zheng's Mansion and King Kang's mansion, it is not unthinkable. At present, Shen Tu of King Zheng's Mansion is focusing on the property of the old people of King Kang's Mansion, judging from the fact that King Kang's Mansion once controlled more than half of the shops in King Kang, I am afraid that there will not be two hours, and those people will not be able to sign the contribution documents. And it would take at least several days for the people of King Zheng's Mansion to take these documents to everyone's house to collect their belongings. The General Administration Department had enough time to do tricks, so he was afraid that the people from King Zheng's Mansion would contact the Rong'an garrison first.

But Liu Dongxing thought about it carefully, and felt that King Zheng specially sent his cronies here, probably not just to arrest Zhu Jiayi to coerce King Kang's mansion. Due to the mistake of the Qingzhou General Administration, King Zheng sensed the movement of the imperial court, and in order to strike first, he would definitely start in advance, but in this way, his original preparations may not be sufficient.

Different from the north, Qingzhou, Jinnan, Rong'an, Hucheng and other areas along the central coast of the Dongjiang River usually have a stubble of winter wheat, and this stubble of winter wheat is the main source of food for the local people at the turn of spring and summer. The winter wheat harvest was not good because of the drought last year and last year, but this year's weather is quite good, as long as there are no more natural disasters, and it is possible to get a bumper harvest by the beginning of summer tomorrow.

At present, in the capital, although the emperor is seriously ill, he is dragging it out, and it is not critical for the time being, and it is possible to delay it for a few more months. King Zheng probably planned to wait until the emperor died next year to raise an army to rebel. After all, he is the emperor's own son, if he is against the emperor, he will lose his righteous name, but if he is against his younger brother, as long as there is a "suitable" reason, there is an article to do. Therefore, if the situation had not changed, and the emperor had not died for a day, he would not have been in trouble for a day. As a result, he may not be able to accumulate enough military rations, and in addition to the drought last year, there was already a shortage of food in various places, and he could not afford to buy too much grain.

In addition to military rations, there are also military horses, military uniforms, weapons, forage, bows and arrows...... In a word, if you want to rebel, you can't do it without money.

Liu Dongxing once questioned that King Zheng and King Dongping wanted to rebel, why did they pull King Kang's mansion up? King Zheng has opposing intentions, and King Dongping is close to the capital and is familiar with the situation in Beijing. But King Kang's Mansion has long been without a real master, and among the people involved in the rebellion, the leader is actually a steward of the palace, the so-called little prince, who is just an illegitimate son who is not recognized by the clan. If it is said that King Kang's Mansion is involved in rebellion in order to regain its former power, then the biggest reason why King Zheng Mansion and Dongping Mansion will accept their participation should be money, right?

Lohas Park is a large port second only to Guihai and is a famous commercial port in the world. King Kang's mansion has been operating here for decades, and has already accumulated a lot of property, even if the prince is withdrawn, the property on the surface is confiscated, and the prince takes away some of the money into Beijing, the rest of the family is still very attractive. In contrast, the so-called war on the Western Front, which King Kang was responsible for, was nothing more than chicken ribs. With less than two days of waterways between Qingzhou and Kangcheng, King Zheng didn't have to rely on the people of King Kang's Mansion to perfect his blockade.

It can be seen that Shentu just brought so many people here, and the biggest purpose should be to seize wealth, not to start an incident in advance. They had secretly infiltrated Cannes, and probably hadn't planned to notify the Rong'an garrison immediately. Yoo decided to take advantage of this.

After discussing in a low voice with a few people from the General Administration, Liu Dongxing asked one of them to leave first and report back to Hu Jinquan, while he and the others stayed to see the situation. At this time, he had the leisure to pay attention to Yunni's situation.

Ever since she entered this courtyard, she has been sitting at the foot of the steps with her knees crossed, crying for so long, probably tired, but from time to time she snorts, her eyes are red and swollen, and there is a little horror in her eyes.

Liu Dong walked over to her and said, "Miss Qin, you have just seen the situation inside." The little prince must not be in danger for the time being, and Ling Tang has also been released, but it is inconvenient for you to go to them at this time, so it is better to go home and wait for news for the time being, right? When the inside is dispersed, Lingtang will be able to join you when he returns home. That Wang Guan is dead, and no one will stop you from staying with the little prince in the future. ”

Winnie looked up with teary eyes and asked, "Those people...... Who is it? So fierce...... They killed the king, and that was the king."

Liu Dongxing cleared his throat: "To be honest, that manager Wang is too arrogant, the other party is holding a knife, and he is so vicious, he is still working against others, and if they want to kill chickens and monkeys, they will naturally not spare him." ”

Yunni lowered her head again, tears streaming down her eyes: "It's terrible...... Such a bad person, really won't kill my mother and the little prince? Although Mr. Wang is not a good person, when we first arrived in the capital, we ran into walls everywhere, and it was he who arranged a place for us to live and reported my brother's life experience, otherwise we would have to beg for food on the streets......"

Liu Dongxing really didn't have the heart to comfort her at this time, so he had to say: "This is a sin created by others, don't think too much about it, go back quickly, Lingtang will go back soon." ”

Yunni shook her head: "Mother is confused, how can she talk to such a terrible person...... And the little prince, he shouldn't have listened to those people's orders......"

Liu Dongxing was a little speechless, and began to be impatient: "Go back quickly, the sky is about to dawn, if the people inside disperse, it will be difficult to talk when they see you here." ”

"I'm not leaving." Winnie looked up at him, "I'll wait here." You're still going in, aren't you? I'm going with you so that I can see my mother too. If they find you, I'll say you've been brought in to save your mother. ”

Liu Dongxing looked back at her sharply. Yunni's expression was very calm: "You don't look like ordinary people. The eldest lady said that the eldest aunt is an official, but she didn't mention what an official is. Since she lives here, she is naturally the official of Kangcheng, but I have seen all the officials of Kangcheng with the little prince, and none of them are like you. I knew what Mr. Wang wanted to do before, and my mother once told me privately that this was a rebellion. Are you here to get him? ”

Liu Dongxing narrowed his eyes: "You're not angry? ”

"Why should I be angry?" Yun Ni looked puzzled, "If you're here to arrest Mr. Wang and take care of them, of course the eldest lady can't give me a message." But she told me several times that she wanted me to work somewhere else, and that was because she wanted me to leave, right? The eldest lady is for my good, but I can't let go of my mother and younger brother, and I live up to her kindness. Her expression darkened, "My mother won't agree anyway, if only she could agree, we quietly took the little prince and left here, no matter where we go." In the future, when the king rebels, the government will come to arrest him, and we will be fine. ”

Liu Dongxing looked away, feeling that he seemed to have misjudged Qin Yunni, but in any case, it was not bad to have such a result. Yun Ni understands the situation, and she won't complain about Wen Yi, I hope she can help the Secretary of the General Administration next. Liu Dongxing began to consider how likely it was that Yunni would continue to provide him with news after returning to her mother and Zhu Jiayi.

There was a commotion in the direction of the inner courtyard, mixed with crying. Liu Dongxing immediately became vigilant, and a general administration officer jumped out of the hospital, and came back after a while to report: "It should be scattered inside, I saw the people from King Zheng's Mansion walking in the direction of the side door." They took Zhu Jiayi with them. ”

Yunni hurriedly asked, "What about my mother?" The man shook his head: "I don't see it." Yun Ni was a little panicked, looked at Liu Dongxing, Liu Dongxing said, "Miss Qin, you stay here and don't move, let's go and explore." With that, he led the other three people outward, and in a blink of an eye, no one was gone.

Winnie couldn't catch up, so she stomped her foot in a hurry, suddenly remembered something, turned and ran, and after a while, she came to a secluded passage, where there was a small gap in the wall. She lifted her skirt, climbed over the wall neatly, bent over, and moved along the path outside in the direction of the side door, and in a short time she saw two carriages and dozens of horses parked outside the door, and seven or eight men with knives were on guard.

There was a commotion inside the side door. Shen Tugang took the two of them to escort Zhu Jiayi out, turned around and said to the latter with a smile: "Little prince, I'm really sorry to make you frightened." But if there's a rock in the way, it's time to kick it away, don't you? ”

Zhu Jiayi looked at him in a daze, full of horror, unable to say a word.

Shen Tugang didn't pay attention to it, just clapped his hands, and someone opened the curtain of a carriage, revealing a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl inside, as if it was Zhu Xiuyun, who was also frightened. Zhu Jiayi's eyes widened suddenly. Shen Tu just showed an ugly smile at him: "Look, we still know how to be sympathetic to nobles, and we specially found a companion for the little prince, and there will be someone waiting for you in the future, how good, the red sleeves add fragrance, it is really a rare blessing." As he spoke, he glanced at him with contempt.

Zhu Jiayi didn't understand, but rushed forward in surprise: "Xiuyun, it's so good that you're okay" Tears immediately fell. He had been frightened just now, and he had finally met an acquaintance, which made him feel much more at ease.

Zhu Xiuyun was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, Shen Tugang didn't pay attention to it, and directly grabbed Zhu Jiayi's clothes and threw them into the car, and ordered everyone to carry the few boxes of usable property that they had just looted from the palace into another carriage, and then rode away with a few people from King Kang's mansion. After a while, two more horses chased after him in the shadows.

Yunni just walked out at this time, suddenly a little flustered, hurriedly ran towards the side door, and met the neighbor's aunt, hurriedly rushed up and asked: "Auntie, where is my mother?" Can you see my mother? ”

The woman was startled, and when she saw that it was Yunni, her eyes turned red, but she immediately looked at her with a complicated gaze, and said after a while: "Your mother is still inside, that wicked man wants to take the little prince away, and your mother insists on following, but she was kicked by that person and fainted, and I don't know what happened now." ”

Yunni was startled and hurriedly ran towards the inner courtyard, but she didn't notice that the aunt's expression was a little strange. When she arrived at the big courtyard, all the people had dispersed, and a person in front of her fell to the ground, looking like a Qin widow from a distance, she hurriedly ran over, turned the person's body over and looked at it, and her eyes suddenly went dark.

Widow Qin was beaten beyond recognition, her body was broken in multiple places, her clothes were full of footprints and dust, and she had lost her breath. Around her corpse, several shoes fell. Yun Ni clearly recognized that they were all things from the people in King Kang's mansion.......
