Chapter 18: The Ling Family's Crisis
Linjiang City, as the largest city in the three states of the East China Sea, is the garrison of the three states of the East China Sea. The third brother of the current emperor, Zhao Wenzong, the king of Lin'an, was stationed here and guarded the eastern gate of the Liyang Dynasty.
Lin'an Mansion is located in the center of Linjiang City in the north of Lin'an Street, the whole mansion is luxurious and atmospheric, the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate is hung with a black gold silk Nanmu plaque, on which the dragon and the phoenix dance are written "Lin'an Palace" four big characters, from the handwriting of today's saint.
Three figures slowly walked at the door of the mansion, officially Ling Zixuan and the three. Before he could knock on the door, the vermilion lacquer door had slowly opened, and a young man walked out of it.
This man, Ling Zixuan and Ji Lingshan, even knew each other, it was Zhao Qifeng, the son of the King of Lin'an, who appeared in the Ji Mansion of Donghai City not long ago.
Zhao Qifeng's face suddenly showed a burst of excitement after seeing Ji Lingshan, but he immediately hid it and said respectfully to Zhao Yuting: "Gong... ”
"Call me Miss Ting'er." Before he could say his words, he was directly interrupted by Zhao Yuting's cold voice.
Zhao Qifeng was stunned for a moment, immediately understood, and immediately changed his words and said, "Miss Ting'er is back?" And the housekeepers and butlers on either side of him immediately stooped down and saluted.
"Master, Sister Ji, thank you for sending me back, and when I take care of the housework, I will definitely come to Master Donghai City as soon as possible to serve you." Ting'er looked at Ling Zixuan Yifu and said respectfully.
Ling Zixuan and Ji Lingshan didn't stay any longer, and after taking care of Ting'er for a few words, they turned around and left the Lin'an Palace, without looking at Zhao Qifeng. Zhao Yuting kept paying attention to Ling Zixuan and the two of them before she recovered her cold expression and turned around and walked into the Lin'an Palace.
"Master?" Zhao Qifeng was shocked when he heard Zhao Yuting call out the young man master beside Ji Lingshan. When did she have such a master? And obviously this master and Ji Lingshan have a very close relationship, which makes Zhao Qifeng a little unhappy. However, he still followed Zhao Yuting into the Lin'an Palace.
"Ting'er should be today's princess, right?" Ling Zixuan suddenly asked.
Ji Lingshan looked at him curiously, but still nodded slightly. "If I guessed correctly, she should be the ninth princess who has been frail and sickly since childhood, when I heard the surname Zhao, I was a little suspicious, and now I came to the Lin'an Palace, and I saw Zhao Qifeng's respectful appearance towards him, which confirmed my guess."
Ling Zixuan: "Hmm! I didn't really care. He is a dignified god king of the Northern Regions, not to mention accepting a princess of the Liyang Dynasty as an apprentice, even if he accepts the current emperor of Liyang as an apprentice, it is also the blessing of this emperor.
That's the gap, the gap. However, he is still very satisfied with this apprentice from the bottom of his heart, whether it is her talent or her firm and strong eyes, it fully reflects that this apprentice will definitely go far in the future, as for what height she can reach, it still depends on herself. After all, the master led the way into the door, and the cultivation relied on himself.
"Don't you want to teach me some exercises? Hum! Ji Lingshan looked at Ling Zixuan, who was silent, and suddenly lost her temper. I felt a little jealous that Ling Zixuan was so good to Zhao Yuting.
Ling Zixuan looked at Ji Lingshan with a smile, and after telling her his thoughts, Ji Lingshan reluctantly accepted his explanation. However, her expression had already betrayed her heart, her trust in Ling Zixuan had long surpassed the friendship between ordinary friends, and the brain-dead woman had obviously fallen and could not extricate herself.
Just when Ling Zixuan was still rushing back to Donghai City, the Ling family's shop ushered in a huge crisis. For several days in a row, a number of injured patients and their families had gathered at the door of Ling's shop. claimed to have bought "poisonous Ganoderma lucidum" after taking Ling's shop, and after taking it, he vomited blood for several days in a row, and his life was in danger, and he demanded compensation from Ling's shop.
Due to the big trouble, the government of Donghai City also directly came forward to investigate the matter, and demanded that the Ling family's shop be closed down until the Ganoderma lucidum poisoning incident was dealt with, and the business could not be started.
Ling Buyi received the inspection of people from the government in the shop, and the entire Ling family's shop has been turned over by people, and almost every corner has been rummaged. One of the guards of the hundred households led by him also arrogantly shouted at Ling Buyi, telling him not to hide his belongings, and if he was discovered, he would not be forgiven.
Seeing that the goods he had just purchased were wantonly destroyed by these officers and soldiers, Ling Buyi's heart was like a knife, and he said to the hundred households, "We have always been doing our duty, and we have a good relationship with your Lord Qianzong and Lord Shouwei, and I also ask the official to help, act smaller, and don't cause too much loss." ”
After listening to Ling Buyi's words, the hundred households did not have the slightest intention of restraint, and they were still secretly laughing in their hearts, this was obviously the fact that President Qian took care of them to sabotage, and said that he had a good relationship with President Qian and Lord Shouwei, and no one knew if he offended him, this Ling Buyi didn't seem to have a good brain.
Seeing that they not only did not relent, but also intensified their destruction, Ling Buyi was anxious and hateful. At this time, a girl rushed in from the outside and scolded Baihu and several officers and soldiers: "Who gave you such a bold person to bully the Ling family, I asked my father to cut off his head directly." ”
The person who came was Ling Shuangshuang, she was already preparing to return to the capital, and when she heard her aunt crying about the siege of the shop at home, she jumped out of the carriage and rushed over. As soon as she entered the shop, she saw such officers and soldiers wantonly sabotage, and she was angry.
The hundred households obviously knew Ling Shuangshuang, and knew that Ling Shuangshuang's father, Ling Buregret, was a popular person in front of the emperor, his face changed slightly, and then he raised his hand to stop the sabotage of the officers and soldiers, and said to Ling Buyi, "I will search this today, but before dealing with a few injured patients at the door, the Ling family's shop is not allowed to open for business." After saying that, he viciously left the shop with the officers and soldiers.
Ling Buyi just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to thank Ling Shuangshuang, and then the door of the shop began to make noise again. was crying and making trouble, and the sound directly came to Ling Buyi's ears in the shop. Obviously, when those officers and soldiers left, let them continue to build momentum, and Ling Shuangshuang gritted his teeth.
At this time, in the study room on the top floor of Wanque Tower, Wan Youcai, Wang Xiaotian, the guard of Donghai City, and Shou Yuqian were drinking tea together, and the three of them were talking and laughing, and they wanted to talk very happily.
"Thank you to the two adults for taking care of my Wanque Lou business for many years, I have the status and wealth I have today, and I can't do without the support of the two adults." Wan Youcai respectfully stood up and offered tea to the two.
"Boss Wan is polite, who doesn't know that Boss Wan of Donghai City is dedicated to the people and has helped the governor solve a lot of difficulties, what is this little favor. Besides, if Ling Buyi didn't rely on the help of that younger brother Ling Buregret, how could he be on a par with you in Donghai City. Even Shao said politely.
"Say that Ling doesn't regret it?" All talents want to speak and stop.
"Don't worry, Emperor Shangao is far away, he is far away in the capital, how can he take care of the affairs of Donghai City, and besides, isn't the governor still on your side?" Wang Xiaotian said with a laugh.
Wan Youcai's eyes narrowed into a line, and at this time Wan Li entered the study with two boxes.
"Two uncles, this is a little hobby that my nephew has just started recently, I hope the two uncles like it." Wan Li respectfully sent the two boxes to Wang Xiaotian and Lian Shao.
The two glanced at Wan Youcai, and Wan Youcai smiled and said, "It's none of my business, it's completely the child's respect for the two uncles, hehe." ”
After the two opened the box, they showed expressions of surprise and joy on their faces, immediately closed the box, looked at each other and smiled, and accepted Wanli's gift. "Tiger father has no dog, Boss Wan has such a good successor, congratulations!"
Ling Buyi sat down on the chair, and Mu Wenying next to her kept helping her squeeze her shoulders and comfort him. After being seized by the government all day and noisy by the so-called patients, Ling Buyi was exhausted. If it weren't for Ling Shuangshuang's timely appearance, he might have been taken to the city government yamen to be imprisoned by now.
"Why doesn't Zixuan have any news yet?" Ling Buyi could only rely on his son, who had never been favored before, and he actually felt that as long as Zixuan came back, anything would be solved.
Just when Ling Buyi and Mu Wenying were still looking forward to Ling Zixuan's return, a bunch of officers and soldiers rushed directly into the door of Ling's house, and the person headed by him was the one who was responsible for sealing up the Ling family's shop during the day.
"Ling Buyi, due to the counterfeit Ganoderma lucidum sold by your Ling family's shop, the customer died after eating it, come back to the city government yamen with us once."
Then without Ling Buyi making any explanation, the two subordinates stepped forward and directly grabbed Ling Buyi and took him out of Ling's house. Mu Wenying fainted directly to the ground, and was helped back to the room by the maid on the side to settle down.
At this time, Ling Shuangshuang had already left Donghai City and returned to the capital, but Ling Zixuan had not heard from him, and the Ling family had encountered an unprecedented crisis.
At the door of Ling's house, a figure of a man in a hardcover suddenly appeared, and as soon as he came to Ling's house, he saw the officers and soldiers driving Ling Buyi into the carriage, and the carriage was obviously used to escort prisoners.
He exclaimed in his heart, "Not good! "I have been busy helping the old man go to the capital to do an errand in the past few days, so I have not come to the Ling family's shop, and I rushed to it as soon as I came back today, but I didn't expect that the Ling's shop has been sealed. He immediately thought that something had happened to the Ling family, and he came directly to the Ling family, and sure enough, it was so.
This person is Ji Lao's entourage guarding Qi Guofeng, he felt that there was no delay at this time, so he walked back to Jiangnan Ji Mansion quickly and reported to the old man.
At this time, Ling Zixuan and Ji Lingshan were already on the way back to Donghai City in Linjiang City, and the two of them were very happy to flirt and scold in the carriage, since they went to the "Soul Valley" to kill the red python this time, Ji Lingshan's brain-dead female problem has become more and more serious, and she can't resist Ling Zixuan's charm at all, and she just wants to be with Ling Zixuan, even if she is a little daughter-in-law, with this husband, she has no regrets!
Of course, Ling Zixuan also has a good impression of Ji Lingshan, such a beautiful and delicate lady is every man's dream. Besides, Ling Zixuan, the God King of the Northern Regions, has never lacked women around him, so naturally he will not refuse Ji Lingshan. He had already regarded Ji Lingshan as his cultivation companion in this life, as long as Ji Lingshan broke through the innate nature, he would teach her the Divine King Absolute Martial Arts he had cultivated. Isn't it beautiful to slowly build the true road and have someone to accompany you!
But at this time, he didn't know that his father Ling Buyi was in the yamen of the city government of Donghai City, and was beaten by the guards and soldiers, and Ling Buyi, who was already not young, didn't know how long he could endure this flesh and skin suffering. I really don't know how Donghai City will withstand the anger of Ling Zixuan, the God King of the Northern Regions.
