Chapter 223 King Qin Travels! King Ling is Assassinated!
······
King Qin's injury was not serious, but it hurt his left shoulder, and the arrow was not thick.
After being treated by the imperial doctor, there is no major problem.
Chen Chao saw Qin Yuanheng and directly explained his intention, and he didn't stay for long, for fear of arousing the suspicion of others.
He went to King Qin's mansion to find King Qin, just to tell King Qin his plan and let King Qin cooperate with him.
Similarly, if you want King Qin to bring a message to Concubine Qin, when King Ling's mother Concubine Ling Guifei finds Concubine Qin, Concubine Qin must also deliberately lead the words to the top of the person who wants to return to her hometown to visit relatives, so as to succeed.
Of course, Concubine Ling couldn't be suspicious, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of King Ling in the future.
It's just that whether this plan can be implemented smoothly at the moment depends on whether Qin Yuanheng can contribute.
Fortunately, Qin Yuanheng said that he didn't have any injuries, he had suffered this serious injury when he was fighting in the past, and he went into battle to fight the enemy.
Chen Chao was ashamed of this, but he finally reassured him.
In this way, the overthrow of Zhao Chuan and his henchmen in various places is just around the corner.
Then, Chen Chao discussed some specific things with Qin Yuanheng, and said that King Qin had worked hard and left.
Whether it was when he came or when he went back, Chen Chao was extremely cautious, afraid that someone would follow him.
What he was most worried about was not others, but the people of Jiangnan Pavilion.
Jiangnan Moya must be the one who killed the subordinate officials of the household, and according to Lin Ziying, the murderer must be the strength of a half-step grandmaster.
This proves from the side that Jiangnan Moya is not a delicate woman on the surface, she is good at martial arts, and she is very strong.
Similarly, Chen Chao also suspected that among the nine sisters of Jiangnan Pavilion, they were only afraid that they would all be able to do martial arts, and they would not be weak.
If they follow themselves and are careless, they are afraid that bad things will happen.
Fortunately, Erhu has a hand, if he is careful, no one can easily follow him.
Regarding Jiangnan Moya's killing of household officials, Chen Chao believed that Jiangnan Moya did it, however, there was no direct evidence, so he couldn't directly move her.
Even in order not to startle the snake, nothing can be shown.
Chen Chao became more and more cautious in doing things, since Jiangnan Pavilion may have colluded with the crown prince, Chen Chao suddenly found that the water in Mingdu was a little deep.
He is an outsider, and if he is not careful, he may drown inside.
There is also the death of five school guards under the Ministry of Military Affairs who returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, which also made Chen Chao realize that things will not be so simple.
In particular, King Ling said that the five captains had all contacted the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao before returning to their hometowns in the end.
Did they have any tricks in Qin Yuanzhao, and were they killed by Qin Yuanzhao?
Or does it disappear like this, with another purpose?
None of these Chen dynasties can be determined.
And things in silver.
Why is Zhao Chuan greedy for so much silver?
And Jiangnan Pavilion obviously has so many talented people and nobles going, and the daily income is very large, it can be said that the nine sisters of Jiangnan Pavilion are not short of silver at all.
So why did they build a silver hook casino?
Whether it's them, or Zhao Chuan, what are you doing with so much silver?
Like a police officer investigating a case in a previous life, Chen Chao wrote down various questions and the people involved in the incident on a piece of paper to see if he could connect these seemingly unrelated events.
It's just that in the end, Chen Chao was still a little disappointed.
He found that something was still missing in between.
This is very important, and if he can find this key point, things will come to light and he will understand everything.
Just, what is this key point?
······
"Ziying. ”
With Chen Chao's call, Lin Ziying entered the room to obey the order.
"Send people to those five places, remember, you must inquire clearly, and confirm whether these five people are really dead?"
Chen Chao handed Lin Ziying a piece of paper.
It was written the names of the five lieutenants who had died mysteriously, as well as their hometowns.
Chen Chao wanted to confirm whether they were really dead.
······
Recent events have made Chen Chao feel a little powerless, and there are too many things.
He regretted a little that he wanted to support Qin Yuanheng, but after thinking about it carefully, for the sake of the Changlin family and for himself to live better, only by letting King Qin, a fair and upright person, become the prince and even the monarch, can he and the Changlin family live better and longer.
So, it's worth it all the hard work for now.
······
Things went smoothly on King Ling's side, Concubine Ling successfully guided Concubine Qin, and Concubine Qin had the intention of returning to her hometown.
And King Qin also personally went to the palace to ask Qin Zheng that with the help of King Ling and King Ling's party, Concubine Qin would go back to her hometown Jizhou to visit relatives and worship her ancestors accompanied by King Qin.
······
"There is something wrong with King Ling recently, he is helping King Qin in everything, is he taking the opportunity to win over King Qin and deal with the crown prince?"
Qin Zheng came to such a conclusion.
I have to say that Qin Zheng is indeed smart.
And it is a generation of Ming monarchs, if it weren't for the Ming Dynasty left by his ancestors for several generations of monarchs, it was too chaotic, and this mess was too difficult to clean up, with Qin Zheng's ability and courage, he would not be controlled by people everywhere like now.
Needless to say, he will negotiate with Chen Chao.
However, it can also be seen from the side that Qin Zheng can bend and stretch, and such a person will either be completely calm in the future, or it will erupt like a volcano.
The momentum is absolutely uncontrollable.
Once the Ming Dynasty has the ability, the Changlin fiefdom will not be peaceful, and as for the great power and military power will be taken away, Qin Zheng will definitely do so.
It's just that now in such a situation in the Ming Dynasty, Qin Zheng, a person who is good at balancing the overall situation, can endure it.
Moreover, the crown prince and King Ling did not have the courage of Qin Zheng, once they took over the throne and felt the danger of the Changlin family, they would be desperate to deal with the Changlin family.
But Qin Yuanheng is different, he has the same quality as Qin Zheng.
And, more than that.
The most important thing is that Qin Yuanheng is fair and cares about the world.
Therefore, he will not be like Qin Zheng, the current peace is just because he is waiting for the opportunity.
······
In terms of time, King Qin and Concubine Qin should have arrived in Yingzhou, of course, they were just passing by.
It's just that, as an official in Yingzhou, don't you welcome and entertain you?
It's natural.
Therefore, the people sent by the Chen Dynasty to Yingzhou can act.
Similarly, in order to cooperate with them, they were caught off guard by Zhao Chuan, and Chen Chao's side also acted.
Cooperated by King Ling.
What is done is very simple, but it is not easy to say.
That is, there were assassins in King Ling's mansion, and King Ling was stabbed and injured, so he sent troops to strictly control the four gates of the Ming capital.
Although the prince could not block the city gates, it was his right to send troops to inspect and control the pedestrians passing by the city gates.
What's more, Ren Tai of the Ministry of War is King Ling's person, and this matter is not very difficult.
King Ling was assassinated and the city gate was controlled, which naturally attracted the attention of princelings such as the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao and Zhao Chuan.
However, after thinking about it, I can't think of it that this matter is aimed at them.
Because they have no doubts about the King of Qin and Concubine Qin going out of the palace and returning to their hometowns to worship their ancestors.
Naturally, he would not have thought that someone would complain to King Qin about collecting taxes, let alone that King Ling was assassinated to control the city gate, just to block the people who reported to Zhao Chuan.
It can be said that Zhao Chuan and they have no precautions.
And after the confinement of the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao was lifted, their prince party focused on how to suppress King Ling in the court.
To this matter, it is to ignore.
As for King Ling's transfer of troops to control the city gate, the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao originally intended to take the opportunity to join King Ling's book, but under Zhao Chuan's advice, he finally gave up.
The reason is very simple, although King Ling's deployment of troops is a bit unruly, but as a prince, he was assassinated, which is a big deal.
Even if it was possible that King Ling had done something bad to be assassinated, they had no evidence, so it was difficult to make an article on it.
didn't use this matter to suppress King Ling.
So the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao and the king of Ling, Qin Yuanzhuo, as usual, blushed and pinched their necks in the court.
The political views are completely different.
It's back to the old balanced game, and no one can help anyone.
It's just that Qin Yuanzhao's pure dispute is different, King Ling is secretly proud in his heart, he has a spectrum in his heart, because, he knows that soon Zhao Chuan will be finished.
So, sometimes even if he falls behind, he doesn't care too much.
What he wants is to share more energy of the crown prince and the prince's party in the court.
And Chen Chao was not idle here.
Although it was not clear what Jiangnan Pavilion wanted so much silver for, Chen Chao wondered if they would do something once they were short of silver, and it was likely that they would be exposed.
Of course, this is what the Chen Dynasty thinks is the best outcome.
His real purpose was also to distract Jiangnan Pavilion's attention.
The nine daughters of Jiangnan Pavilion, and even the people below them may be masters.
They may have colluded with the crown prince Qin Yuanzhao, and the Chen Dynasty did this because they did not want them to focus on the matter of the city gate that was being controlled.
Therefore, Chen Chao still went to the Silver Hook Casino to gamble.
······
"Why is this bastard here again?"
When the casino manager Zhu reported that Jiangnan Ziyi Chen Chao had come to the casino again, Jiangnan Ziyi's face turned blue.
And why did Jiangnan Ziyi say it, because Chen Chao had come once before, and won 70,000 taels while she was away.
On the surface, he shows great benevolence and righteousness, but he can do things behind his back, and Jiangnan Ziyi is extremely shameful for a shameless person like Chen Chao.
Now here it is again, do you want to win silver again?
There are no doors.
However, Chen Chao's coming this time was obviously a surprise to Jiangnan Ziyi.
He came to gamble, but he didn't always bet on the size of the bet, and the bet was very small, up to 100 taels, and after winning some, he went to other aspects of betting, such as pai gow.
Then if you lose, you will bet on the size and play like this.
Steward Zhu looked a little confused, and Jiangnan Ziyi was also puzzled.
What kind of medicine is sold in his gourd?
In the end, I had to send someone to inform Jiang Nanyue.
She wanted to go by herself, but she was worried that Chen Chao had such an idea, and now she was just paralyzing her, so she didn't dare to leave.
And Chen Chao did not do anything out of the ordinary under her surveillance.
At most, according to Steward Zhu's report, he only won 1,000 taels.
Chen Chao went to the casino for several days in a row, which made the people in the casino panic.
Jiang Nanyue, who learned about this, was also a little helpless.
Now is the time when they need silver, and if Chen Chao really starts with the casino, it will be really difficult to deal with it.
However, she is not without means to deal with Chen Chao.
Jiangnan Ziyi can at least last some time.
And several sisters under her have their own strengths, but they are not incompetent in gambling, at least they can use their strength to deal with Chen Chao, control the dice in the dice cup without making any sound, and eight people take turns to deal with Chen Chao, Chen Chao can't win silver.
It's just that this worry seems to be superfluous, and Chen Chao didn't win any silver at all.
At most, at noon, win a few hundred taels more, and then thank Jiang Nan Ziyi who was watching upstairs.
Say a word about the hospitality of the girl in purple.
Then he took his subordinates to the Mingdu Restaurant, and after eating and drinking, he came back.
Jiang Nan Ziyi stomped his feet, but there was nothing he could do.
"Why should the ninth girl be angry, Chen Chao's methods only win a few hundred taels a day at most, and there is nothing, this bit of silver, we still lose. ”
Steward Zhu appeased Jiang Nan Ziyi.
Jiang Nan Ziyi snorted and said, "This bit of silver is naturally nothing, but seeing him like this, this girl is upset."
By the way, are you going to go back and hand over the money to my eldest sister. ”
Steward Zhu said, "It's still being counted, and it can be counted in the evening." ”
······
Gangnam Pavilion.
"Eldest sister, what can I do about this? Chen Chao's bastard is too despicable, although he didn't win silver, but he helped other gamblers win silver, we used to have 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver every day, but these days we have to lose 20,000 or 30,000 taels every day, and the amount of silver is still increasing. ”
Jiang Nan Ziyi came to complain with the account book of the casino.
Chen Chao did not win silver, but others followed him, with Chen Chao, the gambling god, the gambler bet like a divine help, almost as much as he pressed, which made Jiangnan Ziyi, who was only focused on Chen Chao, not care at all.
If it weren't for the statistics at the end of the month, she wouldn't have known at all, but in the four or five days that Chen Chao came to the casino, the casino didn't make any money, but lost nearly 100,000 taels.
However, what Jiangnan Ziyi didn't expect even more was that when she came to report, Chen Chao made a move.
Kill the dealer in the casino and leave no piece of armor.
In just a few rounds, hundreds of thousands of taels were won, plus the bets of other gamblers won.
After a few rounds, just betting on the size, the silver hook casino lost millions of taels.
Naturally, the stakes can't be so big on weekdays, and gamblers don't dare to bet more, but with Chen Chao here, they are like chicken blood.
In such a situation, Manager Zhu did not expect it at all, and sent someone to find Jiangnan Ziyi as soon as possible.
But after Jiangnan Ziyi rushed back, Chen Chaoren left again.
"Chen Chao, you bastard, this girl is inseparable from you. ”
······
"Uncle, Jiangnan Pavilion is so mysterious, it's better to be careful, it's better to provoke them, I'm worried that you will be in danger. ”
Lin Ziying reminded Chen Chao.
Chen Chao smiled and said, "I'm afraid they won't do it." ”
Then he looked at Erhu and said, "Erhu, didn't you say that you have been strong recently? Let me ask you, how many half-step grandmasters can you deal with?"
Erhu smiled, and said with smugness on his face, "Not much, not much, at most six or seven." ”
Lin Ziying was not surprised, it was normal for this kind of thing to happen to the second tiger, you must know that when the strength of the second tiger was not as strong as it is now, it could already be tough with the head general of Chaoyun Island.
And how much more so now?
"Second Tiger, with such a strong strength, you should have broken through the half-step Grandmaster a long time ago, what is your situation?"
Lin Ziying was puzzled.
He felt like he was about to break through to a half-step grandmaster recently.
Moreover, Lin Ziying is also a little strange about her situation.
Although he was not a half-step grandmaster, he felt that he might not be defeated when he fought against a half-step grandmaster.
Erhu said, "The old immortal said that my dantian is too big and I can pretend to have a lot of energy, so if I want to achieve a strong body, I need many times more strength than an ordinary half-step grandmaster, so I can't break through for a while."
However, once I break through to a half-step grandmaster, I can fight at least three or four grandmasters.
The worst general I beat last time, I can beat him.
Even if I don't break through now, if I meet the general again, I can win against him. ”
Erhu waved his fist.
Lin Ziying nodded lightly, a little envious of the combat effectiveness of the second tiger.
Chen Chao said, "Erhu, you don't brag, you can't beat the general." ”
"No way. ”
Erhu was a little anxious.
Lin Ziying said, "Uncle doesn't know martial arts, so I don't understand, the current Erhu can really fight the general." ”
Chen Chaodao: "I said that I can't just can't, the current general is a ghost, and neither of you is an opponent." ”
“”
Erhu and Lin Ziying were speechless when they listened to Chen Chao's words.
Lin Ziying didn't want to say more about this matter, he said, "Uncle, shall we go to the casino tomorrow?"
Chen Chaodao, "You ask Erhu if he is going, and he says no, we won't go." ”
Erhu has won more than 20,000 taels with Chen Chao in the past few days, and his mouth is crooked.
At this time, listening to Chen Chao let him make up his mind, Erhu said without thinking, "Go, why don't you go." ”
