On the second day, the new commander of the city guard was found dead in a garden on the outskirts of the city.

This incident shook the government and the opposition and caused a sensation in the imperial capital.

After all, the commander of the city guard army can be regarded as a member of the imperial court, holding an important position, and his status is not low, plus he is the younger brother of the secretary of the military department, the Liang family is now in the old guard faction, and it is also the mainstay.

Immediately, Prime Minister Zheng Hailou took a group of party henchmen and asked for a thorough investigation at the court meeting, suspecting that the reformist Qingliu did not follow the rules and secretly killed him.

In fact, he just wanted to use Liang Shi's death to drag a few political opponents into the water.

So soon, he accepted the Dali Temple with full authority to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Liu Changqing and other Qingliu officials are constantly protesting against this, because everyone knows that Shaoqing of Dali Temple is just a relative official of the corpse and a vegetarian meal, just a name, and the real people who do things are all his subordinates who join the army, among them, Gu Yinghua is the most vicious, and he is a vicious dog raised by the scholars.

The eucalyptus is really going to be in their hands, and everyone has to shed their skin if they don't die!

But what no one expected was that with the investigation of Dali Temple, the development of things exceeded everyone's expectations.

First of all, Gu Yinghua led a team to investigate the scene, but from the secret room of Liangshi's villa, 300,000 taels of silver were seized, and there were countless treasures of all kinds.

This Liang Shi, who took over as the commander of the city guard army for only half a year, had previously served as a dispensable petty official in the military department, and his annual salary was only fifty taels of silver, how could he obtain such a huge amount of wealth?

Corruption and bribery are ironclad.

What is even more unexpected is that in this secret room, there is also a detailed list of bribes that were confiscated together, which was widely implicated, including the military department Shangshu, the children of the Liang family and dozens of officials.

Meanwhile.

The Yamen of Kyoto Yushitai, Jingzhao Mansion, Criminal Department and other places almost invariably received a large number of anonymous reports.

Most of them are aimed at the children and officials of the Liang family, who have embezzled and accepted bribes, forcibly seized bribes, and colluded with the law during their official tenure in various departments and even in the surrounding areas.

Many of them have empirical and ironclad evidence, no matter how big or small, and even the details of the process are clearly written.

Not only that, but there are also many accusations against other Shi clan henchmen, and even Prime Minister Zheng Hailou.

As soon as this incident came out, the court shook and the world was in an uproar.

Because Liang Shi's death has attracted the attention of everyone in the government and the opposition, and even the emperor is personally interrogating, so the slightest bit of wind and grass cannot be hidden, even if he wants to suppress it, he can't suppress it.

When all these clues and evidence were put on the surface, the Liang family instantly fell into a sinister situation.

The other scholars immediately cut off contact with them, fearing that they would be implicated, and even Zheng Hailou, who had always been strong, chose to remain silent this time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Liang family kicked the iron plate this time, and I am afraid that it will cause disaster if they offend a certain big person.

Liang Shi's death is just an introduction, he can kill the commander of the dignified city guard army silently, and in the first time, collect and expose so many clues to the crime, the energy of this big man can only be described as unbelievable.

Who knows if he has more clues to the incriminating evidence of others?

The higher the official, the more unsightly things he will see in secret, from the prime minister to the doorman, who dares to say that he is innocent?

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, the old-fashioned scholars had to choose silence this time.

They didn't dare to go to Baoliang's house, and they couldn't keep it.

The reformists of the Qingliu party seized the opportunity to frantically beat the water dogs, and the impeachment that had been prepared for a long time flew like snowflakes to the Imperial Historical Observatory and the palace.

No matter how big or small, even the trivial matter of the children of the Liang family who once beat the children of the common people on the road for no reason was handed over.

For a time, the Liang family fell into a dead end.

The emperor was "under pressure" and had to issue an order the next day to jail dozens of relevant officials such as Liang Yong, the secretary of the military department.

Soon, almost all the children of officials related to the Liang family were dismissed.

In the worst case, the family will be confiscated and beheaded, and the family property will be confiscated, and the family property will be confiscated, and the family will be exiled in prison and never hired.

Everyone knows that the Liang family is finished.

This wealthy family, which was once famous in the imperial capital and second only to the Prime Minister Zheng's family, was uprooted overnight, shocking everyone in disbelief.

Because of the defeat of the Zheng family, the Qingliu party quickly filled in the officials with the help of the emperor, and the situation in the DPRK and China suddenly changed dramatically.

The originally monolithic old-fashioned scholar clan henchmen were also torn out at this moment, and the situation of party struggle underwent a huge reversal.

But everyone probably never dreamed that all this was just because Liang Shi wanted to get involved in Tsing Yi Lou and beat the pink horse.

……

"Tsing Yi Lou's current intelligence capabilities are really a little unexpected to me."

After learning the news that the Liang family had all been uprooted, Su Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised.

But after thinking about it, I think it's normal.

Back then, Lin Fan relied on the intelligence of Tsing Yi Lou to kill many scholars and gate lords.

After decades of development and a large amount of money investment, Tsing Yi Building is still an elegant fence on the surface, and even the scale has not been improved.

But secretly, there are countless secret agents who have been planted in all walks of life in the city.

Any peddler and pawn walking on the street, or a storyteller in a restaurant, may be the eyeliner of Tsing Yi Lou.

Under this vast intelligence network, nothing can be hidden.

To put it mildly, if Su Chen wants to know what the prime minister eats at night, someone will soon find out and send him the detailed dishes and the list of chefs.

In fact, Su Chen had no intention of interfering in the party struggle in the imperial court before.

But this Liang Shi killed himself, provoked himself, and beat his subordinates, and it happened to be a critical moment when Zhang Mingyuan told the old man, if he didn't show thunderous means, his subordinates would probably have different intentions in the future.

Facts have proved that his counterattack is quite powerful.

Now no one cares how Liang Shi died, and the Liang family has completely become history.

By the way, Su Chen's move can be regarded as a help to the emperor, the power of the scholar clan has been hit hard, and the new policy he will implement next will have much less resistance.

……

On this day, the city guards who blocked the streets had retreated.

East Chang Street, restored to the former liveliness, many old benefactors, came to the front of the Tsing Yi Building, but saw that the door was closed, still not open.

There was a notice in front of the door.

"The owner is happy, and he has a three-day rest."

But I could hear the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing in the building, and the graceful figure of the shadow, like a fairy, swept by the window.

The people who see the outside are itching.

But I don't dare to make a mistake.

After all, in the past few days, there will be city guards patrolling here almost every day, and almost all of them will become security guards in Tsing Yi Building.

"I guess which big man chartered Tsing Yi Lou?"

"Phew! Evil magnates! ”

"Woo woo, the warbler sings and dances, lingering all around, I admit that I am sour, so envious...... Emerald Red, my Emerald ......"

……

And at the same time.

In the Tsing Yi Building.

Su Chen was dressed in Tsing Yi and was sitting on a high platform, surrounded by a group of flowers, and there were more than a dozen popular dancers in Tsing Yi Lou below, dancing.

Peach, whose injuries had healed, bowed down and stood beside her.

Wine and delicacies, warm nephrite, everything you see is Miaoman snow greasy, and all you smell is the mellow body fragrance of wine.

To be honest, Su Chen has lived for decades, and it is the first time he has been so wanton and happy.

It's not that he suddenly wanted to indulge in his own hook bar on a whim.

But when the news of the collapse of the Liang family came, the girls of the landlord, moved and worshipped, spontaneously pulled him along, and had to hold such a "celebration banquet" to repay and thank the landlord for his grace.

After all, no one would really value lowly women like them, let alone offend a wealthy family like the Liang family for them.

But after the landlord learned that Peach was beaten, he directly showed terrifying energy.

The hateful commander of the city guard died at home that night, and even the Liang family, which he was proud of, was uprooted.

What terrifying energy does this require?

Intelligence is such a thing, in fact, if you have the heart, many people can find it, but the problem is, the big family, the officials protect each other, even if you have criminal evidence, who can you bring down?

Not to mention that it also includes high-ranking officials like the Ministry of War.

Therefore, in the eyes of these girls, the landlord is a real character with hands and eyes, not only his martial arts are amazing, but the forces behind him are even more terrifying.

What about even the powerful and oppositional scholars?

If you offend the landlord, you will be overturned overnight!

"If it weren't for the landlord's action this time, I'm afraid that Taohong's life would not be guaranteed. You are my reborn parents, and Rosé will toast you again......"

At this time, Taohong's injuries have recovered a lot, although the wounds on her face have not yet healed, but there is no danger to her life, and there is also the pill given by Su Chen, it is estimated that after a while, she will be able to recover.

She toasted again and again, but Su Chen didn't exclude the alcohol this time, and had the intention to relax, so she also had a sense of alcohol, and her temperament was not as serious as usual.

He turned his head, looked at Taohong, and said with a smile: "Reborn parents, are you talking about this old seat?" ”

When Taohong heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips, and the girls around her also laughed: "The landlord is wise and martial, handsome and extraordinary, and he looks much more flavorful than those eighteen-year-old white-faced scholars." ”

When she said this, she didn't just pat yourself on the back.

Although Su Chen's real age may really not be young, the face he put on at this time has hardly changed much from twenty years ago, although his hair is a little gray, there are not many wrinkles on his face, and his skin is very smooth and delicate.

If you look closely, it does have the taste of a mature man.

"Okay, okay, you all go to the side to play for a while, I still have something to discuss with the landlord."

At this time, Peach spoke.

She had been in the building for many years, and she was still very prestigious, and the women immediately dispersed.

"The landlord, the slave has one thing, and I ask the landlord to agree."

"Tell me about it."

"The slave maid is also forty-eight years old this year, old and decrepit, and now she is injured again, I am afraid it is no longer suitable to stay in Tsing Yi Building......

"You're leaving?"

"Of course not, Peach's life is from Tsing Yi Lou, as long as there is still a breath, it is natural to be loyal to the landlord. I mean, after all, Tsing Yi Lou is in the business of hooking on the surface, and it also needs a head face that can be handled, and the slave maid is obviously suitable now. So I want to retreat behind the scenes and manage the shadows outside for the landlord, but the shopkeeper of this Tsing Yi Building is better to change to a young, beautiful and capable person......"

Hearing her say this, Su Chen also felt a little reasonable.

After all, Peach is also old, even if she is not injured, it is estimated that she will not be able to do it for a few years, she is experienced, and it is not bad to retreat behind the scenes.

So he nodded and asked, "Then do you have any recommendations?" ”

"Yes. The slave has actually been deliberately assessed and trained for three years, and her loyalty and ability can be guaranteed. ”

As she spoke, Peach briefly recounted the person's information.

The daughter she recommended was named Yin Yi, who was originally from an official family, and her father was the Zhongshan Order, and she was also an official of the Qingliu Party.

Later, because she was framed by Liang Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, she was imprisoned and raided her home, and she was also reduced to the Department of Teaching Workshops, and finally was valued by Taohong, and through the relationship, she was redeemed to Tsing Yi Lou and became a Qing Qi person.

"This Yin Yi is talented and beautiful, after all, he is from a scholarly family, quite talented, and should be worthy of the façade of Tsing Yi Building. Moreover, this woman is clean and self-conscious, and she is still in perfect condition......"

Taohong said and spoke, but Su Chen felt that something was wrong.

You recommend an heir, what do you say about the perfect body?

So he waved his hand and interrupted: "Where is she now, call me to see this seat." ”

"Yes."

Peach nodded her head, then clapped her hands, and the other dancing girls around her bowed and left as if they had a tacit understanding.

Immediately afterwards, pieces of flying flowers fell from the upper floor, accompanied by fragrance, and a woman in a yellow dress fell suddenly.

She has an elegant face, apricot eyes with waves, red lips like fire, a little cinnabar like saffron, embellished in the center of her eyebrows, and her temperament is elegant and good.

The green silk is scattered like a waterfall, the fragrant shoulders are half exposed, and the thin gauze is dressed, which makes the graceful figure looming, and adds three points of charm.

Seeing this, Su Chen was slightly stunned.

This woman was the woman in the yellow dress who was in the pink room that day, asking herself to administer justice for her.

At that time, Su Chen felt that this woman's temperament was different from other Qinglou girls, with a steady personality and a bit of unruly bearing.

However, at that time, she may have been worried about Taohong's safety, so she didn't deliberately put on makeup, but now it seems that she is quite amazing.

She floated down and danced in the middle of the field.

Peach and the others, for some reason, quietly exited, returned to their room, and closed the door.

Only Su Chen and this Yin Yi girl were left in the field.

I saw her shake one step at a time, and she flew in, and after a while, she came to Su Chen's side, and her snow-white lotus arms wrapped around her waist from behind.

There was a slight tremor in his voice, three points of shyness, three points of fear, and three points of longing.

"The Liang family collapsed, and the landlord avenged my family. The little woman has nothing to repay, and is willing to serve the landlord with her innocence, and asks the landlord to answer......"

Soft and glutinous, delicate sound into the ears.

Su Chen was also a little upset, he pulled it with his hand, took the woman into his arms, looked at her delicate and shy face, but his expression was still calm.

"The matter of the Liang family is just for Tsing Yi Lou, and it has nothing to do with you. If it's to repay the favor, you don't have to. ”

"But if I want to take over from Sister Hong and take charge of this Tsing Yi Building for the landlord, I'm afraid my qualifications are still shallow and I can't convince the public. Moreover, in this land of fireworks, how can the little woman be weak and keep her innocence all the time? Only the landlord can protect me......"

"You're being honest."

"Don't dare to play tricks in front of the landlord...... It's just the posture of Yin Yi Pu Liu, I don't know if I can be lucky enough to get into the eyes of the landlord? ”

"The posture of the willows?"

Su Chen smiled as if he was not smiling, stretched out a finger, picked up her smooth chin, and then slowly slid towards the snow and greasy place below.

The crimson on the girl's face grew thicker, like a piece of jasper shrouded in blood.

She blinked, slowly lowered her head, Sakura's lips opened slightly, and then took Su Chen's sliding fingers......
