Chapter 228: Dengwen Drum
Who exactly is targeting him?
How was Aaron bought by the other party?
Is the other party's purpose to provide disaster relief funds?
For a while, Mr. Zuo was full of thoughts, but after excluding several people, Mr. Zuo still didn't think of the identity of the other party, especially the fact that Aaron betrayed himself, which made it difficult for him to accept, the Zuo family has treated him well over the years!
As for getting out, he took a look at the airtight secret room, and suddenly gave up his unrealistic idea.
Don't be kidding, this damn betrayer is a real Acquired Realm monk, not to mention that this is a secret room, even if it is in the outside world, there is absolutely no possibility of escaping from the other party's hands.
He can't rely on anyone now, even if he has a first-class martial artist by his side who is loyal to him, it won't help.
A first-class martial artist could not solve his current predicament at all.
But the next moment, a scene that almost made him vomit three liters of blood happened.
I saw that the first-class martial artist who accompanied him actually prayed to Ah Long:
"Brother Long...... I am willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and ask Brother Long to give me this opportunity. ”
Chief Zuo couldn't help but fall into confusion, could it be that he really didn't know anyone?
Could it be that the cronies in his heart who can be trusted are a bunch of treacherous people?
"Chief Zuo, are you really a failure, or do you do too many things that anger and resentment, and even God is punishing you?" Ah Long sneered.
Zuo Shichang was stunned, Ah Long at this time made him feel very strange, this was not Ah Long he knew at all, could it be that the other party had been pretending to be for decades?
If that's the case, it's terrible.
Just as Zuo Shichang's thoughts were flying, there was a sudden noise of footsteps above the secret passage.
Chief Zuo's face immediately changed, and it seemed that the main owner behind the curtain of Aaron was here.
It's just that when he saw the appearance of the person coming, his expression was stunned again: "Why are you?"
"Why can't it be me, Zuo Shichang, as a second-class member of the imperial court, but you have done such a heinous deed, what should you be guilty of!" Huang Zhidao drank in a deep voice, his expression was full of coldness, only when a traitor like Zuo Shichang completely died out, the dawn would come.
"Ah Long, I'm curious, what benefits did he promise to you, so that you can make you treacherous?" Zuo Shi's long eyes flashed, although he was a little desperate in his heart, and even more upset, but the more critical the moment, the more he couldn't mess up, bowing his head and panic could not solve his current predicament, but the next situation would be even more unfavorable to him.
Even if he is helpless now, he can't be led by the other party.
"You, who are about to become a prisoner, should think about your situation first. Ah Long seemed to sense Zuo Shichang's intention to delay time, and turned to Huang Zhidao and said, "My lord, now that everyone has obtained the stolen goods, we should hand over this matter to Your Majesty as soon as possible!"
It is precisely because he has a deep understanding of Zuo Shi that he can't wait so much, so as not to dream too much at night.
Before you go to the court, anything can happen.
"Damn!" Zuo Shichang scolded secretly in his heart, he hated Ah Long to the extreme, and he couldn't wait to swallow the other party alive.
That's right, he did have the idea of stalling for time.
There have always been spies hiding outside him, and although those spies don't know what's going on inside, from the moment Huang Zhidao leads people to break into here, those spies are bound to notice their bad situation.
As long as they report what they see to his father, his father will naturally know what to do next.
Before things became irreversible, he believed that Cai Shoufu was still willing to rescue him.
After all, his official position is not small, and it is also a great boost for Cai Jin.
As long as he waits for Lord Cai's rescue, then he will be safe, and then it will be a big deal to kill people, anyway, as long as all the insiders die, then there will be no proof of death, even if His Majesty knows that he did it, but on the premise that there is no evidence, with the protection of Lord Cai and his colleagues, even His Majesty can't help him for a while.
Anyway, His Majesty has always disliked them, and if he offends His Majesty again, there will be no worse results.
His idea was full of adventure, but this was his only chance, as long as he paid some price without threatening his life, he could accept it.
However, the other party did not give him this opportunity, and under the twist of the Praetorian Guard, they hurried towards the location of the palace.
......
Now the time, it's noon, after eating, Lin Ying is about to take a nap, these days all kinds of troubles have followed, so that he is very busy, although Weinan was temporarily taken over by the Praetorian Guard, but there are still many unscrupulous people, doing some burning, killing and looting acts, in addition to not having rebelled, Weinan is simply a mess of porridge.
The most fundamental reason is that the treasury is empty, and more disaster relief funds cannot be allocated, and the imperial court still can't take care of everyone after all.
It's just that I don't know how much of the disaster relief money allocated from the Ministry of Household to Weinan last time was embezzled...... Probably fifty percent, or even more.
Every time he thought of this, Lin Ying felt angry, and one day, he would let those people spit out what they had eaten.
Behind the whole thing in Weinan, there seems to be a pair of invisible giant hands fueling the troubles, and Lin Ying has always had such an intuition.
I hope he's overthinking.
But then again, even if no one pushes the flames, he doesn't dare to slack off on Weinan at all.
"Knock...... Knock knock ......"
Just as Lin Ying was about to lie down, a dull sound suddenly sounded in the palace, which suddenly made him completely sleepy, he hadn't heard this sound for a long time, even he couldn't remember it himself.
"Your Majesty, it's Dengwengu. A personal maid next to him stepped forward and bowed.
Dengwen drum, in the previous dynasty was not opened in the palace, but after Emperor Taizu opened the country, the original intention of opening the Dengwen drum outside the palace was to provide the people with a shortcut that could directly reach the heavens, Emperor Taizu carried out vigorous anti-corruption, purging the rule of officials, afraid that local officials would conceal and suppress the wronged, so they set up Dengwen drum, if anyone is wronged and suppressed by the local officials, they can go directly to the capital to beat the Dengwen drum to find the emperor to expose.
However, in the current era of rampant treachery, the imperial court has basically lost its credibility, and the Dengwen drum at this time is basically useless, and there is no extraordinarily unjust case, and the people dare not knock it casually.
To put it bluntly, those who dare to come to beat the drum now are tantamount to putting their own life and death aside, and there are a few people who dare to face those traitors.
