The sage once said: Never get carried away, and do not lose your ambition when you are frustrated.

I don't know how many people have been saved by this golden and jade good saying, but there are countless people who have forgotten this sentence and ended miserably.

And obviously Qin Shaojie forgot this sentence.

Seeing Li Yi and Mu Junhe being tied up, he immediately became overjoyed.

However, with so many people around him, he didn't dare to take action against Li Yi and Mu Junhe now.

"Lu Dengfeng, there are so many people in Sizhou County, so I want to investigate them well, and I will escort these two people to the government office."

Qin Shaojie has never been so humiliated when he is so big, and the other party even wants to deal with their Qin family.

Although there is no way to dispose of these two people directly, he also wants to take the opportunity of the escort to teach them a good lesson.

The leader of the Yaowu Army, known as Lu Dengfeng, couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

How could he not understand the intention of Qin Shaojie's move.

He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Qin Shaojie's knife-like eyes, Lu Dengfeng gritted his teeth and had to agree.

He knew that if he didn't agree, he would probably be difficult to get mixed up in the Yaowu Army next.

At the same time, he also knew that this Qin Shaojie would not dare to kill Li Yi and Mu Jun before sending the two of them to the Daofu Office.

After all, so many people at the scene saw the whole process of the conflict between him and Li Yishi's brothers.

If the two of them died unexplained before they were escorted to the palace, then someone in Jinling City would definitely order a thorough investigation of the matter at that time.

After all, the forces of all parties in this Jinling City can be described as mixed, and their Qin family also has various political enemies.

If they came across such an opportunity to attack the Qin family, how could they let it go.

Therefore, Lu Dengfeng can be sure that this Qin Shaojie will definitely let the Jinling Mansion convict Li Yi and Mu Junhe of being grass army thieves.

At that time, he can deal with the two of them openly, and he doesn't have to worry about being caught by others.

After all, this Jinling Mansion is their Qin family's territory.

"What? Do you suspect that I will declare a personal vendetta? ”

Qin Shaojie didn't have the slightest shame when he asked this.

His righteous and awe-inspiring appearance is as if he is a saint.

"Both! I also ...... about this."

Lu Dengfeng wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't know how to say it.

Although he was sure that Qin Shaojie would not dare to hurt the lives of the two, he was afraid that a meal of flesh and skin was indispensable.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

"It's okay, you don't have to blame yourself, although the two of us are not big people, it is not so easy for him to deal with us."

Li Yi saw this Lu Dengfeng's face embarrassed, so he smiled and comforted.

"The two of you don't know, most of the officials in this Jinling Mansion are from his Qin family, and this Qin Shaojie's uncle is the secretary of the criminal department!"

Originally, Lu Dengfeng didn't want to tell these inside information, after all, he and Li Yi and Mu Junhe only met in Pingshui.

If you talk too much, you will inevitably be suspicious of being superficial.

But just now, Li Yi still chose not to embarrass him when he knew that he would be targeted if he followed Qin Shaojie, and even opened his mouth to comfort him, which made Lu Dengfeng very moved.

"This Qin Shaodong is Qin Luming's nephew?"

Due to the system of one dynasty and two capitals implemented by the Dayu Dynasty, the court team of the Dayu Dynasty is also two sets.

Although Xinzhou is only the capital, all its court officials are exactly the same as the imperial capital, except that they have no real power.

At the beginning, the reason why Emperor Taizu of the Dayu Dynasty wanted to set up two sets of court teams was to place some military generals who had outstanding achievements but had little ability to govern the country.

With the passage of time, the officialdom of the Eastern Capital has become the retirement place for the retired officials of the Dayu Dynasty.

Many officials who failed in the officialdom struggle were demoted to the Eastern Capital to take up some false positions.

It seems that these people are all losers in the struggle of the imperial court, but as the saying goes: the waves have ups and downs, and so do the people.

Many of these degraded officials also rose again, and eventually returned to the imperial capital.

And Mu Junhe had obviously heard of this criminal department Shangshu surnamed Qin.

"That's right, Qin Luming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is indeed Uncle Qin Shaodong!"

Lu Dengfeng didn't expect Mu Junhe to report the name of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department in one bite, obviously Mu Junhe is not a simple character.

"I really didn't expect this Qin Luming's official position to rise so quickly, and sure enough, in response to the old saying, someone in the court is good to be an official!"

Mu Junhe sneered and teased.

"Be careful!"

Lu Dengfeng didn't expect this Mu Junhe to comment on Qin Luming like this.

"Humph! Now you can continue to be arrogant, and when you get to the Jinling Mansion, I want to see if your mouth is still as hard as it is now. ”

Qin Shaojie also heard what Mu Junhe said just now.

He was also very dissatisfied with Mu Junhe's evaluation of his uncle.

But now that the two of them are under his control, there is no need for him to rush to do something to the two of them at this time.

Immediately, Qin Shaodong took a few soldiers of the Yaowu Army and directly pulled the rope and pulled Li Yi and Mu Junhe into the city gate.

Seeing Li Yi and Mu Junhe disappear into the city gate, the group in Sizhou County all looked worried.

However, their identities have not yet been confirmed by the high-level leaders of Jinling City, so even if they want to help Li Yi and Mu Junhe, they will not be able to.

Because once they make a move, the situation will completely get out of control.

It is very likely that the thousands of them will be killed directly as thieves, so now they can only wait for news from the upper echelons of Jinling City.

Now they can only pray that Li Yi and Mu Junhe can hold out in the Jinling Mansion for a longer period of time.

When they were accepted by the people of Soshoji Temple, they would immediately report what was going on outside the city gate.

At that time, there will definitely be someone in Zongzheng Temple who will stand up for Li Yi and Mu Jun.

However, there are also people in Sizhou County who are not too worried about the safety of Li Yi and Mu Junhe.

Among them, the most calm are Qi Lao and Yan Wuping, because they know the identities of Li Yi and Mu Junhe very well.

Especially Mu Junhe's identity.

If this happened in the Dayu Imperial Capital, perhaps the two would still be worried about the safety of Li Yi and Mu Junhe.

But this is Jinling Castle in Xinzhou, and this is the site of Zongzheng Temple.

In this place, as long as Mu Junhe reported his identity, not to mention that Qin Luming didn't dare to do anything to him, even if the criminal department of the imperial capital came, it would be useless.

To put it mildly, the real ruler of the one-third of an acre of land in Xinzhou is not the emperor but the Zongzheng Temple.

If the Qin family dared to make a move against Mu Junhe in Jinling City, it would be tantamount to a provocation to Zongzheng Temple.

Although Qin Shaojie's mother is also a royal family surnamed Mu, for Zongzheng Temple, how can a married daughter of a clan be compared to a child surnamed Mu?

Even if Princess Chengping is the daughter of His Majesty today, Mu Junhe's identity is not simple.

Moreover, now Emperor Shengheng and Zongzheng Temple are at peace on the surface, but in private they are already in trouble.

Coupled with the news that the grassland army was about to attack Xinzhou this time, Yan Wuping and Qi Lao believed that there would be more fierce contradictions between Zongzheng Temple and the imperial court in the future.

And at this time, if the Qin family can rein in their edge and be a low-key person, maybe Zongzheng Temple will not make a move against them.

Once the Qin family is caught by Zongzheng Temple, then the Qin family will definitely suffer a catastrophe.

After all, no matter from which point of view, it is impossible for the Qin family to stand on the side of Zongzheng Temple.

"The Qin family didn't know at this time that they were already a fish on the fire."

Qi Lao looked at Qin Shaojie's back and shook his head helplessly and said.

"I used to hear people say that they were the most ruthless emperors, and I refuted them, but now it seems that I was indeed wrong!"

Yan Wuping also sighed.

"Senior brother, I see that you didn't worry too much after hearing that this Qin Shaojie's uncle was promoted to the secretary of the Eastern Capital Criminal Department, but showed a smile, isn't there something wrong with this Qin Luming?"

Li Yi just discovered through Mu Junhe's micro-expression that he was obviously with a mocking look on the corners of his mouth when he said Qin Luming.

"Senior brother, you don't know, this Qin Shaojie is so arrogant now, but he doesn't know that the lives of their entire Qin family have all been hooked by Lord Yama."

Mu Junhe saw that Qin Shaojie was walking in front arrogantly with a figure-eight step, so he lowered his voice and said to Li Yi.

"Why is that?"

Li Yi didn't understand what Mu Junhe meant by what he said.

"Senior brother, you may not know that last year, this Qin Luming was just a member of the criminal department in the imperial capital, and the reason why he was promoted at that time was because of the relationship between Qin Shaojie's mother, Princess Chengping, but in just one year, he jumped from a member of the outer lang to a squire and became a scholar directly, although this Eastern Capital Shangshu is not as good as the imperial court Shangshu, but it is also a second-grade official title!"

Mu Junhe briefly introduced Qin Luming.

"This ······"

After hearing about Qin Luming's promotion process, Li Yi couldn't help frowning.

Although he doesn't know much about officialdom, he also knows that it is not a simple matter to be promoted to an official position above the court.

But this Qin Luming can jump directly from the fifth grade to the second grade in just one year, which is simply incredible.

If it is said that this Qin Luming has made immortal contributions to the Dayu Dynasty, or that he has the merit of following the dragon, it is easy to say.

It can be counted that in the past year, the Dayu Dynasty has no chance to make immortal achievements, and as for the dragon's achievements, it is even more impossible, after all, Emperor Shengheng has been on the throne for many years, and he has no possibility of abdicating in a short time.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and it seems that the Qin family is going to be unlucky."

Although Li Yi couldn't understand why Emperor Shengheng wanted to promote the people of the Qin family so quickly.

But he also understands the truth that prosperity must decline.

"That's right, I have to say that Emperor Shengheng is really a ruthless person!"

Mu Junhe couldn't help but feel a little cold in his eyes when he mentioned Emperor Shengheng.

"Senior brother, do you mean to say that Emperor Shengheng is deliberately calculating the Qin family?"

Li Yi also heard Mu Junhe's voice at this time.

"Calculating the Qin family? Their Qin family is also worthy! ”

Mu Junhe said with a disdainful face.

"I see! Emperor Shengheng is calculating Zongzheng Temple, and this Qin family is just a tool used by Emperor Shengheng to calculate Zongzheng Temple. ”

Li Yi immediately understood.

"That's right, once the grassland army really fights, Zongzheng Temple will definitely realize that this is Emperor Shengheng secretly attacking them, and it is very likely that there is an internal response arranged by Emperor Shengheng in the Qin family, and when the time comes, these people who are secretly ambushing will inevitably cooperate with the grassland army, and even if Jinling City is impregnable, it will be useless."

Mu Junhe had already roughly guessed Emperor Shengheng's plan at this time.

"But Senior Brother, these people in Zongzheng Temple used to be the vassal kings of various feudal countries, and none of them were stupid, could they not think of such an obvious thing?"

Li Yi felt that Mu Junhe's guess was too loophole, and even the things they could think of at once made no sense, and the people of Zongzheng Temple couldn't think of it.

"That's why I just said that Emperor Shengheng's heart is ruthless!"

Li Yi looked at Mu Junhe puzzled.

"Since we can all guess that there may be someone in the Qin family who is a shadow arranged by Emperor Shengheng, how do you think Zongzheng Temple should deal with this situation?"

Mu Junhe asked in a low voice.

"According to the temperament of the imperial court and Zongzheng Temple, they should directly wipe out the Qin family completely to get rid of future troubles."

Li Yi then came up with an answer that even he was terrified.

"That's right, Zongzheng Temple should destroy all the Qin family, because time is urgent, they can't have much time to screen who is the secret son of the Qin family."

"But what is Emperor Shengheng's intention to send the Qin family to Zongzheng Temple for slaughter?"

Li Yi didn't understand why Emperor Shengheng sent the Qin family to the butcher's knife of Zongzheng Temple.

"It's very simple, because Emperor Shengheng needs great righteousness!"

Mu Junhe directly said the reason why Emperor Shengheng did this.

"Although Emperor Shengheng should have made sufficient preparations for the complete destruction of Zongzheng Temple this time, he did not dare to guarantee that this plan would be 100% successful, if the grassland army did not be able to destroy Zongzheng Temple this time, then Emperor Shengheng would do it himself."

"Take advantage of your illness to kill you, even if the grassland army can't succeed this time, it can greatly consume the strength of Zongzheng Temple, and Emperor Shengheng's layout in this game is indeed clever."

Li Yi had to admire the scheming of Emperor Shengheng at this time.

In order to destroy Zongzheng Temple, he really gave up his capital.

First of all, in order to give the grassland army a chance to attack Xinzhou in the south, he directly sent the three county towns of Biansai out.

This has led directly to the displacement of thousands of people in the northern border area.

Now, in order to prevent the defeat of the steppe army, he sent his daughter's family to the butcher's knife of Zongzheng Temple, in order to let Zongzheng Temple kill them all.

In this way, he has the righteous name of avenging the woman.

When the time comes, if he does it against Zongzheng Temple again, then the people of the world will no longer make irresponsible remarks about him.

"Ruthless is the most emperor's family! The dragon chair in the imperial capital is said to be a symbol of supreme imperial power, but in my opinion, it is a monster that can devour human nature, but anyone who sits on it will lose its humanity. ”

Mu Junhe looked up at the sky and shook his head with a wry smile.

At this time, he couldn't help but be glad that their family had decisively separated from the royal family, otherwise he wouldn't dare to imagine what he would be like at this time.

If they hadn't left the royal family in the first place, maybe they wouldn't have been born into this world.

After all, the royal family's battles have always been bloody, and maybe they will be completely eradicated by others at some point.
