Chapter 23: The Conspiracy Approaches

Yan Xiangdong sat in the mansion, frowning, he was thinking, there are many masters in this Kyoto, but there are very few people who can steal the head of the Chu family and kill people and get out of the way.

There are so many masters among the Chu family's guests, how can they not even catch a snitch?

Who the hell did this do, and was it really just for the money? How could such a master take risks for the sake of gold and silver?

Doesn't make sense.

He did not dare to slack off, and notified the patrol battalion and the Praetorian Guard to strengthen their precautions to prevent thieves from sneaking into the palace.

The main camp of the patrol battalion in the south of the city

"Lao Li, let's change shifts, today I will take people to patrol the city, and the day after tomorrow you will patrol the city again, I will have something to do the day after tomorrow."

"Old Han, don't go to meet any better person again!"

Lao Li in his mouth said secretly.

"Hehe, don't say it, don't say it," Old Han said with a smile.

"It just so happens that I have an upset stomach today, so you can do it for me! But today the whole city is searching for that snitch, you should be careful," Lao Li said happily.

Zheng Xingren posted a post of worship at this moment, inviting scribes from all walks of life to drink and talk about the past and the present in the Jinyue Building.

This Jin Yue Lou is the most famous green building in Liyang, many scribes are actually shy, very rarely come here, but this since ancient times the stories of talented and beautiful women are countless, so many scribes have prepared poems and articles in advance, maybe they will get the favor of the beauties in this building.

It was written that the meeting had not yet begun, but as soon as noon arrived, many scribes had already arrived.

Originally, Xiongfeng only advocated martial arts cultivation, these literati were confined to the cultivation of talent, many people chose to be accompanied by books, this Xiongfeng nearly a thousand years of development, successive kings are actively promoting the rule of the country with literature, improve the political status of scribes, and avoid social instability caused by the excessive advocating of force.

Up to now, the scribes can almost be said to be a force to be reckoned with in the Xiongfeng Continent, and the handling of many affairs and the implementation of national policies in many courts and China are all handled by the scribes.

"Brother Mo, long time no see"

"Thank you Brother Zheng for the invitation, Brother Zheng is getting more and more energetic"

"Brother Zheng"

“...........”

Zheng Xingren also came in advance, seeing that the people he knew were constantly socializing, he didn't expect so many people to come so early now.

After a while, two people came, both of them were dressed as scribes, folding fans and scarves, but their eyes were like fine light.

When he came here, he took out a token and handed it to Zheng Xingren, and he knew that these people were sent by the three princes, so he just bowed slightly, and left.

Before the time came, the wine and food had already been served, and all the scribes began to mingle with each other.

This Jin Yue Lou also arranged a show, the girls in the building danced on the stage, and the scribes below could not take their eyes off these charming and enchanting figures.

At the end of the dance, the girls are standing on the stage, looking at the naked eyes of the talented people in the audience, their eyes are shy, looking forward to the posture, at this time the old bustard of Jin Yuelou came out, saying that today can compose poems for the girls, if the girl likes it, this girl can offer a night of spring supper.

Soon, these girls chose a good match for tonight from among the talents below.

It's just that these good partners think that their poems have moved the girl, but they don't know that it is something that has already been arranged by someone with a heart.

Zheng Xingren had already found the corresponding scribes for them before they came to power, and in the end, whether they wrote poetry or not, they asked these girls to go to the designated people.

These people are comfortable in the envious eyes of others, but they don't know that they have slowly fallen into the trap.

"Mo Gongzi's talent is really admirable, the slave family's heart has been taken out by Gongzi"

The green-clothed woman beside Mo Chi had misty eyes, clinging to Mo Chi's body, and said in Mo Chi's ear.

"The girl praised it falsely, and she was also amazed by the girl's face, which is not like the face of the world, but like a fairy descending to earth."

"I don't believe it, you scribes are all talking about one thing and one thing in your heart, you see a few days ago there was a man named Ning Heng, who said that he couldn't enter the government and didn't submit to the powerful, but in the end, he didn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, what you said was just to make the slave family happy."

The woman in green looked aggrieved and sad.

"Girl, Mo Mou's heart is hot-blooded, everything he says comes from the bottom of his heart, that Ning Heng is really the scum in my Shilin, and I Mo Mou is ashamed of that Ning Heng! If I see that Ning Heng, I will definitely humiliate him in person, how can the girl compare Mo with such bastards! ”

This Mo Chi hurriedly broke off the relationship with Ning Heng, and said righteously.

The same conversation took place in each of the chosen scholars, and it was already dusk, and all the scholars had drunk over thirty years, and they had become unscrupulous.

At this time, Mo Chi just wanted to kiss Fang Ze, but he heard the person at the table next to him get up angrily, "My name as a heroic scholar is all ruined by Ning Heng's hands!" ”

"That's right! This person is simply a shame for me! ”

"Yes, let's go to him!"

"Look for him!"

"Yes, you can't just forget it, justify the name of the literati!"

"I know where he lives! Come with me! The two people arranged by the third prince finally spoke up.

"Let's go!" Mo Chi also drank and shouted, turned to the woman in green and said, "I'll go to that person and let you see if what I said is true!" ”

The woman in green nodded encouragingly and gave Mo Chi a fragrant kiss, and Mo Chi rushed to the front in a hurry.

Zheng Xingren was lying on the table, carried into the room by the steward of Jin Yuelou, he opened his eyes, a trace of worry and guilt flashed, and he closed his eyes again.

Soon, this group of young scribes rushed to the gate of the Lin Mansion, and there was no obstacle on the way.

The door of the Lin Mansion was closed at this time, and these scribes scolded Ning Heng at the door with the strength of wine!

The door was slammed into the sky, as if it was about to be smashed, but still no one opened the door, and at this time, the people in the Lin Mansion were not sleeping, listening nervously to the movement outside the door!

"Hold the door up," Su Zheng explained.

These people were already crazy, and when they saw that the door would not be opened, they picked up stones and threw them in!

Su Zheng couldn't dodge and was hit on the head by a stone, Ning Heng looked at it and was anxious, they were looking for themselves, and they couldn't implicate Steward Su and Lin Mansion.

He rushed to the door, pushed the porter open, and ran out alone.

Lin Tao wanted to go up on the second floor of the library pavilion, and he faintly felt that there was something on it that attracted him. But he didn't expect that as soon as he went up the next step, his divine consciousness was crushed and in pain, but Lin Tao didn't admit defeat and went up to the next level!

There was a buzz in his head, and the world was spinning, and he couldn't wait to vomit out all the food he had eaten for a month.

As soon as he lifted his foot, he fainted.

Wei Qing rushed to the Fulong Martial Arts Academy in the early morning, at this time Lin Tao had not woken up, he didn't wake up until the third pole of the day.

After hearing what Wei Qing said, he hurriedly went to see Su Mu and told Su Mu that he was going to go to the capital.

Su Mu wanted to accompany him back, but he still had training tasks on his side, so he found the third senior sister to accompany Lin Tao back.

Originally, Lin Xue'er was going to come back, but there was only one horse on the mountain, Wei Qing rode a horse, and two horses were only enough for two people to ride.

Therefore, Wei Qing gave the horse to Liu Bing, and he went to Fengqi Town to buy another horse to return to Kyoto.

The third senior sister accompanied Lin Tao on the way, and when she was about to arrive more than ten miles, Liu Bing's horse lost its front hooves because of fatigue, and climbed to the ground and was reluctant to get up.

Lin Tao wanted her to ride with her, but she refused, slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and let Lin Tao go first.

And Lin Tao turned around and saw a rune rising from under Liu Bing's feet, and he was close behind him, dozens of meters apart.

At this moment, Lin Tao didn't want to be curious anymore, after all, rushing back to Kyoto was the most important thing.

When Lin Tao just arrived at the city gate, the sun had not yet completely set, but the city gate was closed at the moment.

"Open the door!" Lin Tao shouted.

"The gates are closed! No one is allowed to open it again, only to wait for the dawn to dawn tomorrow! The officers and soldiers above the city shouted.

"I'm the Marquis of Zhennan! Something important to go into town! ”

"Cut, you are the marquis, I am still the prince! The gates of the city are closed at night, and can only be reopened at dawn, unless there is an order from the Holy Emperor" The man was not moved in the slightest.

Lin Tao knew that he would definitely not be able to open the gate like this, so he rode his horse and ran to the other side.

Then he ran and flew up, and landed in the center of the city wall, and at the same time he inserted his short sword into the city wall, pulled it up, and rolled over to the city wall.

Liu Bing flew up directly, tapped his toes on the city wall, and turned over himself, and the soldiers in the distance were stunned, and only shouted after a few breaths:

"Someone's breaking into the city!"

"Someone's breaking into the city!"

"Chase!" The city gate official is called Wan Jinyou, he is the commander of the patrol battalion, seeing Lin Tao and Liu Bing like entering a no-man's land, he knows that this is a master, but in this Liyang City, I have never heard of anyone daring to break into the city!

Because if you break into the city, you can kill without mercy! And as a city gate official's self-esteem, he was also greatly "insulted".

"Didn't you come to pick up the snitch?" Wan Jin thought about it, and hurriedly led dozens of soldiers to chase after him.

Lin Tao didn't stop at all, tossing and turning from the roofs of each room, his divine consciousness was released, he always paid attention to the changes in his surroundings, and also judged the situation through his divine sense.

After Ning Heng broke out, Su Zheng hurriedly arranged for someone to pick up weapons and rushed out of the gate, and Ning Heng's wife also limped out.

After the scribes found that Ning Heng had come out, the scholars outside suddenly raised stones at him.

While throwing it, he scolded this Ning Heng for being the scum among the scribes!

Someone began to rush up and hit Ning Heng, Ning Heng just covered the key point and didn't fight back, and at this time, Ning Heng's old lady walked to Ning Heng's side, and when she saw Ning Heng being beaten, she quickly rushed over and protected her son.

It just so happened that at this time, Mo Chi took a green brick and was throwing it at Ning Heng's head, but just as Ning Heng's old lady protected him, he turned his head and slapped it on the old man's head.

At this time, Lin Fu Su Zheng rushed out with the servants of the mansion with weapons and protected Ning Heng's side.

But among this group of scholars, there were constantly people shouting to kill Ning Heng and eliminate the harm for Shilin, so these people seemed to be stupid and rushed forward, at this time, Mo Chi's eyes were suddenly stunned, and he rushed straight towards Su Zheng's knife, Su Zheng was looking at the situation on the scene with all his body at the moment, and he didn't find or expect that someone would collide directly!

The knife was thrust through the abdomen and stabbed out of the back, and the blood was bubbling up, and the scribes were a little sober up when they saw the blood! This Mo Chi looked at the knife in his abdomen, and suddenly regretted it, thinking that the girl in green had not yet had a spring night, he thought of a sentence from the sage, a knife on the head of the color word.
