Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Tribulation of the Chu Mansion
Chu Mansion, in the northern corner of the imperial city, can be said to be known to everyone. The owner of Chu Mansion is the grandson of the king of Chu, and is known as the 'richest man in the north'.
The word power and wealth are inseparable from ancient times, and the king and grandson of Chu are the richest people in the north, and they have little to do with each other in the imperial city. The king of Chu himself is also a person who knows how to advance and retreat, has some money, is willing to give, and is often not stingy in disaster relief. Therefore, over the past few decades, Chu Mansion has accumulated a lot of popularity. And Chu Huarong, the son of Chu Mansion, has also become the companion of the crown prince Beichen Yuanhuang, and the status of Chu Mansion has risen.
"Can this matter be verified to be true?" Involving the Chu Mansion, Beichen Yin seemed a little more cautious, the business of the Chu Mansion was involved with many officials in the dynasty;
"Some time ago, I secretly investigated on the order of the prince, and found that Lang Sanping was taken away, and the person who took him away was the daughter of the grandson of the king of Chu, Chu Huarong. The Demon Dragon Sacrifice Heaven replied: "The subordinates then arranged for people to monitor the Chu Mansion day and night, and Lang Sanping is still hidden in the Chu Mansion and has not been released. β
"Well, interesting. Beichen Yin tapped lightly on the table and said indifferently: "Since the prince and grandson of Chu entered the northern corner, his financial resources have contributed a lot to the northern corner. β
"But the great crime of rebellion is not to be indulged, my lord. β
The head of the Demon Dragon Sacrifice Heaven was lowered, he understood what Beichen Yin meant, cut first and then played, and broke into the Chu Mansion, or he could find out that he was able to make Sanping and confirm the crime of rebellion in the Chu Mansion. But cutting first and then playing is something that is very easy to fall behind, not to mention the special moment when the crown prince is about to ascend the throne, who knows that it will not arouse the jealousy of the future emperor?
"At special moments, this king can't act rashly, and I ask Mr. to think carefully about a good plan to teach me. Beichen Yin's gaze fell on the Demon Dragon Sacrifice Heaven, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The Demon Dragon sacrifice was silent, and Beichen Yin's test came suddenly, and he believed that Beichen Yin, who was praised as "the first person in the Beichen Dynasty", would not be unable to think of a breakthrough plan. The situation in front of him is said to be a question, but it is more like a temptation from Beichen Yin.
Is it because I suggested that he cut first and then make a move on the Chu Mansion, which aroused Beichen Yin's suspicions......?
Even though he knew that Beichen Yin already had thoughts in his heart, and he might even have the same thoughts as himself, but now that he was in the Tianxi Palace, the Demon Dragon Sacrifice Heaven also knew the truth that he should bow his head.
"Would the prince like to try a trick to scare the evil spirits?"
"Oh?"
Beichen Yin's expression did not fluctuate for half a minute, and the Demon Dragon Sacrifice God knew that he had made the right bet.
Suspicion is true, and then action; It's for, beating the grass to scare the evil.
"Please also elaborate, sir. β
"Here's the details. β
A few days laterβ
The people of the Imperial City have already started an investigation against a number of wealthy businessmen on charges of treason and shaking the country's foundation, and for a while, everyone in the northern corner of the Imperial City is in danger.
"Hey, have you heard, the Imperial City Guards have begun to arrest people. β
"Now how many people don't know about this matter, I saw someone being taken away for investigation the day before yesterday, so miserable. β
"It is rumored that the crime is treason, which shakes the foundation of the country. A scholar said: "Now that the crown prince is on the throne, the imperial city will not allow anyone to spread rumors, so everyone should be careful during this time." β
The rumors are loud, everyone is in danger, and Chu Huarong, who is in the Chu Mansion, receives the news, and he can't help but worry in his heart.
It seems that the investigation is being carried out on the charge of treason, but Chu Huarong knows in his heart that the goal of the imperial city at this moment is undoubtedly the source of this rumor, and he has not yet taken action against the Chu Mansion, just because the stakes are too big, and he can't directly investigate like other families.
However, with the passage of time, the risk of exposure will only be greater, and if the imperial city wants to make a move, once the surrounding relations of the Chu Mansion are dealt with, the Chu Mansion will inevitably end up in the same fate.
"Miss Chu, what's the situation now?" In the secret room, Lang Sanping looked at the pensive Chu Huarong and said: "If you can't do anything, the girl can release me, I will make Sanping do things alone, and I have no intention of implicating your mansion, I just hope that your mansion will remember to obtain the amber of the first king and verify the authenticity of the bloodline." β
"Lang Sanping, your words are cowardice in Chu Huarong's eyes. Chu Huarong shook the fan lightly and said: "If I want to hand you over, I will not choose to rescue you that day, but in the current situation, if you are still in the Chu Mansion, it is indeed inappropriate, tomorrow there is a caravan in the clan out of the city, you can hide in the goods and leave, go to my master." β
"This ...... Isn't that ......?"
"Needless to say, leaving at this moment is the best choice, as for the matter of family inspection, I will try my best. β
As he spoke, Chu Huarong left.
The father had no knowledge of this and must not be implicated in it......
On the second day, the caravan of Chu Mansion wanted to go to the Central Plains, but it was rare for Chu Huarong to lead the caravan, although the prince of Chu was puzzled why a woman who had never been interested in business affairs would ask Ying to lead the caravan, but out of love for his daughter, he still agreed. It's just that the housekeeper who accompanied the team also took care of it more in case of accidents.
"Father, the boy is gone. Chu Huarong arched his hand.
"Go, go, be careful. Chu Wangsun coughed lightly twice, watched the caravan leave, and returned to the house tremblingly.
"Second brother, rest assured, I will do my best to keep Huarong safe and sound......"
"If you can protect it, you can protect it, if you can't protect it, for the sake of planning, then you have to ......"
Two faint moans, one in front of the other, then dispersed. Chu Wangsun coughed twice, as if he was really just an ordinary rich businessman.
The Chu family caravan moved forward and came to the checkpoint of the imperial city, which was originally a checkpoint with unimpeded passage with money, but today it is extremely murderous. The head of Tianxi Palace, Dian Songtao, personally led the troops to sit at the checkpoint, and when he saw the Chu family's caravan coming, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Today, the Imperial City is not very stable, and it is offended that it is ordered to inspect the goods and caravans. After that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, the imperial soldiers swarmed up, but there was no trace of Sanping, and even Chu Huarong, who led the team, disappeared.
On the other side, in the dark place on the border of the Beichen Dynasty, there was a gap in guard, and Chu Huarong, who had changed back into women's clothes, took Lang Sanping, who was dressed as Qiao Zhuang, cautiously, and wanted to get out of the imperial city, but at this moment, he saw a forest of iron armor, and the two of them were instantly encircled.
"Not good!" Chu Huarong knew the plan, at this moment, the sound of the poem sounded, and the first person of the Beichen Dynasty strode forward, exuding bursts of awe-inspiring killing intent on his body.
"Chu song playing, war drums, military flags, blood river drifting; the sun is dawning, the king's power is handed over, the generals are in the prime minister's position, the country is praised, all the people look up, the ministers hang their waists, the dragon robe is inlaid, and the thousand autumn dynasties. β
One fights the grass to frighten the evil, the other strikes the east and the west, and now the attack on the west fails, and the evil has appeared.
