Volume 2 A Light Walks in the Night Chapter 143 All Beings (7)
The reason why Fan Yi suspected that Ponzi had other plans was because Ponzi did not allow them to get close to their own sphere of influence while Paradigm was running errands. This leads to the paradigm being almost ignorant of what the Ponzi is doing.
Although Ponzi shows that he looks down on the paradigm and disdains to associate with them, this kind of behavior is suspected of wanting to cover up no matter how you look at it.
As the in-law family of the Xu family, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Pang family should only look forward to Xu Minglang, but the marriage of the family is a union of interests, and it is difficult to be completely united.
The Yang family, as the in-law family of the Zhao family, also had a conflict with the Zhao family because of the demotion before.
If it weren't for Zhao Ning's extraordinary strength in the autumn hunt, which made the Yang family suspect that Zhao Xuanji had a big blueprint in his heart, he would not have released his suspicions so quickly.
After Zhao Ning and Fan Yi talked about things concisely and arranged some next actions, Fan Yi left the wine shop through the back door. There are a guy from Youpinlou who helps her, and she doesn't have to worry about her whereabouts being exposed.
As soon as Fan Yi walked on his front foot, Wei Wuxian stepped into the threshold on his back foot. He sat down in front of Zhao Ning, and saw that Zhao Ning had almost eaten and drunk, so he hurriedly beckoned the guys to serve the dishes and meat.
He still had a lot to do tonight, and he couldn't drink the wine, which made him quite unaccustomed to it, and he smacked his mouth several times.
"How's the situation?" Zhao Ning asked as he ate.
"It's not easy. β
Wei Wuxian said with some solemnity, "Their strength is not weak, it is much stronger than we expected before, and they are all experienced elites.
"Don't say that Yipinlou is a kind of Jianghu organization, which can't be dealt with at the moment, I took the scouts and spies selected from the army, and I personally stared at them for so long, and finally found some of their flaws, and I was almost detected.
"Right now is our busiest time, with a lot of people on all sides and more flaws than usual, and they choose to do it at this time, which can be described as a lot of planning.
"If it weren't for Yanping being our capital and our deep roots here, otherwise I wouldn't be sureβno, it's not that I'm not sure, I definitely can't do this, maybe I'll get into it myself!"
Zhao Ning nodded, since Wei Wuxian said so, it means that things were done in line with the previous plan, and nothing went wrong. All he needs to know is the most crucial thing right now.
After a large bowl of Yangchun noodles was served, Wei Wuxian picked up the chopsticks, but he didn't move in the middle of the sound, and sighed at the end:
"Brother Ning, I really didn't expect that these people would be so bold and so difficult! Great Qi Chengping has been too long, whether it is the princes of the court or the sharp soldiers in the army, they are too lazy, this is very dangerous!"
Zhao Ning didn't speak.
He had seen too much of this fact in his previous life and did not need to comment.
......
sub-hours.
Emperor Song Zhi received several reports from Dali Temple and had a real-time understanding of the situation of the Zhao case.
"Although the cases have not been fully investigated, and it is impossible to conclude the cases early today and tomorrow, according to the existing situation, the most likely outcome is that today's cases against the Zhao family are basically framed by the conspiracy of the family. β
Song Zhi, who was standing under the eaves of the Wind and Snow Pavilion, looked at the brightly lit Yanping City with his hands in his hands, his back was straight, and the whole person was like a sword in the sheath, with a luxurious and restrained bearing.
He continued: "Judging from the more than ten cases that have been investigated so far, the Zheng family, the Lu family and other families in the family will have to pay a serious price afterwards, and they will generally repeat the mistakes of the Liu family.
"The rest of the scholars will not fall, but they will also be questioned by the generals to some extent. This time, Zhao followed the gate and won very cleanly. β
When he said these words, his voice was steady, without any emotion, and he could not distinguish between likes and dislikes.
The chief manager of Ouchi, who accompanied him on the side, bowed over and whispered:
"The old slave didn't expect that Mendi's action this time would be so big and reveal so many tricks! If they win, they can directly destroy the Zhao family, but now that they are defeated, the losses will be too heavy. β
A smile appeared on the corner of Song Zhi's mouth, "What does the big companion mean that I should protect the family?"
Jing Xinmo said quietly: "National affairs, there is His Majesty's holy judgment, how dare the old slave say more."
"The old slave just thinks that the Zheng clan and the Lu clan have fallen, and if the sect is damaged too much, I am afraid that the power of the sect will completely recover. At that time, the door will be bullied on the court, and the court will be a mess.
"Only when the strength of the two sides is balanced, and no one can help anyone, can the court be quieter, which is beneficial to the country's society. β
Song Zhi bowed slightly, "The companion is right. β
He didn't have many words, and Jing Xinma couldn't guess what was going on in his heart, so he could only stand quietly aside.
As the emperor's confidant, if you want to maintain your status, of course, you have to worry about the monarch, so if there are some things that the emperor is inconvenient to say, Jing Xinmo wants to help the emperor say it.
But now that the emperor is unfathomable, he doesn't dare to say anything easily, for fear that what he says will not be in line with the emperor's wishes.
"Send an order to Dali Siqing, pay attention to proportionality when trying the case, the Zheng family and the Lu family don't have to worry about it, and don't investigate the cases involved in other families so clearly. The Emperor finally made a decision.
"Yes. β
Respect the new grinding body should be.
The emperor's meaning was already very clear, and he couldn't let the Zhao family and Jiangmen be too powerful.
When Jing Xinmo went down to arrange things, Song Zhi stared at the splendid majestic imperial city and the boundless and orderly Yanping City, and muttered in a voice that only he could hear:
"Things always have to be done step by step, the bigger the big thing, the more you need to take your time, the bigger the step is, it is easy to expose flaws, and people will be aware of their intentions...... This is not the work of the Lord. β
......
It was late at night, and the people were not quiet, Pang Ling, who was wearing an official robe, came out of the side door of Jingzhao Mansion and saw an elegant carriage waiting on the side of the street, the body was carved with a deer song pattern, which was the totem of the Pang family.
After entering the carriage, Pang Ling sat on his knees and saluted the middle-aged man in front of him, "Father, why did you come here in person?"
Pang Qi looked at Pang Ling's eyes, and saw that there were bruises on the bridge of the other party's nose, and he couldn't help but look slightly gloomy. Today, Pang Qi took the Jingzhao Mansion officials to the dock, but was knocked unconscious by Zhao Ning in public, Pang Qi knew.
"How's the injury?"
"It's out of the way. β
"Do what you do tonight, as long as it is done, Zhao Ning, this kid has become a prisoner of the order, and you have a chance to take revenge. β
The father was relieved that the son knew what he had to do. β
Pang Qi nodded, "As long as we do this, we can all get unimaginable benefits, and precious cultivation resources are at our fingertips." If we go up, it won't be long before we become the real power of the family. β
Speaking of this, Pang Qi's eyes flashed with essence, and he said loudly: "Even if you are the next head of the family, you are not unable to fight!" Pang Li's heart moved, and he couldn't help but secretly clench his fists.
If he heard Pang Qi say this five years ago, he would definitely think that the other party was joking, and maybe he would slander a delusion in his heart.
They are not descendants of the Pang family, but just side branches.
Although Pang Qi is a brother to the current head of the Pang family, he was only born to the maid of the previous head of the family, and it is a product of drunkenness.
Pang Qi is a marginal figure in the Pang Clan, and he is almost not qualified to stay in the Pang Mansion in the capital, if he is not able to get by, he will have to go outside and leave the Pang Clan power center.
Because of this, in the Ponzi Mansion, there are too many people with higher status than them. Five years ago, Pang Qi was just an ordinary steward of the Pang family, with almost no power in his hands, just a toiling life that was commanded to go around.
If nothing else, Pang Qi would not be able to become a Pang Elder until he died. As for Pang Ling, when he becomes an adult, he must be sent to Pang Clan's local industry, and he does not even have the qualifications to become a leader.
Of course, Pang Qi was unwilling, and even resentful, no matter how he was the brother of the head of the family, he still had to bow to the sister-in-law of the head of the family, which was really painful. And Pang Qi is ambitious and wants to get ahead.
Pang Lin knows these very well.
Pang remembers that things took a turn five years ago.
Pang Qi, who was cultivating in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm, suddenly increased his cultivation speed greatly, and soon became an existence in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, which made him a few masters in the family, and his status immediately became different.
After that, Pang Qi was secretly given various cultivation pills by Pang Qi, each of which was extremely valuable, far exceeding the wealth that Pang Qi could get in Pang Qi.
With this, Pang Ling has gradually become a leader among the young generation of Pang Clan, and he is valued by the family and cultivated with all his might, and his weight has risen again and again.
Compared with Zhao Ning, his realm is worse, but in the late stage of the sixteen-year-old Imperial Qi Realm, how many are there in the entire Great Qi Dynasty?
Pang Ling asked Pang Qi where those cultivation resources came from, but the latter just told him not to ask more, just work hard to cultivate.
"This is the Ink Rhino Armor, you will change it later, although you will not participate in the fight tonight, you have to be prepared for the emergency. β
Pang Qi handed Pang Lin a delicate and small talisman armor, "It's not too early, go back and prepare." When the time came, he took the officials of Jingzhao Mansion and set out. β
Hearing the words "Ink Rhino Armor", Pang Ling's heart was shocked. This is a second-grade rune armor, even if it is extremely rare in the world! With this rune armor in his body, cultivators below the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm cannot kill him with a single blow.
After Pang Ling got out of the car, Pang Qi returned to the Pang Mansion in a carriage, closing his eyes and recuperating all the way.
Since receiving the favor of those people five years ago, cultivating to the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and leaping from a marginal figure of the Pang Clan to a powerful elder of the family, he has been given benefits by the other party all these years, and he has almost never lacked money.
Correspondingly, he is also constantly revealing the news that the other party wants to the other party and help the other party do things.
Some of these news are Pang secrets, some are the situation of other scholars, and some are even the major events of the court that he learned from Pang Qingde, and the secret situation of the competition between the family and the general.
Over the years, the other party has wanted more and more things. Sometimes, in order to discover some secrets and cooperate with the other party's caravan to make profits, Pang Qi also had to take certain risks.
Until tonight's big operation.
Pang Qi's heart was not calm.
