The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 169
[Chapter 167]
Knowing that the emperor sent someone to Hanzhou, the King of Yue and his party changed their original plan. They originally planned to go directly to the Cheng family. With the status of the Cheng family in Hanzhou, no place is safer than the Cheng family, but what happened later, The Cheng family is no longer so safe.
At present, the court sent people to investigate, mainly what Xu Wanjun did. The Cheng family has been entrenched in Hanzhou for many years, and their work is not obvious. If it was not for Xu Wanjun, they would not have been exposed so quickly.
Don’t the people behind it want to choose other, safer methods?
It’s just that the time is too tight, and the court is chasing after them, and they have no choice.
Hidden Dragon Guard acted secretly, and it was the Imperial Imperial Army who participated in the arrest on the open side.
Don’t think that the forbidden army is the son of the officials who went in to gild it. The former Dahuan forbidden army can say that, but the forbidden army in the hands of Shang Junlin is not. This is the first army to fight with him, and it is the one who really fought on the battlefield. Those who want to join the Imperial Army need to go through a lot of assessments, and only those who are good enough will be selected.
Such a banned army is not a piece of shit, and it is not so easy to escape their pursuit.
If it wasn’t for an assassination attempt to distract them, the most likely possibility was that they wouldn’t even be able to get out of the imperial city.
So even though they knew it was not safe to come to Hanzhou, they could only give it a try.
When he knew that Xu Wanjun had offended the emperor in the autumn hunting and attracted the court people to Hanzhou, the person behind him broke the glass. The foolproof arrangement made a huge mistake because of a fool. get killed.
The Cheng family is no longer safe, so they can only find other places. Fortunately, the Cheng family has a great business and there are many Zhuangzi. It is not difficult to pick out one of them that is not known to outsiders. In the end, they chose a place that is also located in Hanzhou, but in a remote location. ‘s Zhuangzi.
Cheng family master knew that there would be guests arriving recently. After getting the news, he did not go to Bie Zhuang for the first time, but summoned those who have the right to speak in the family to come to discuss.
“Now that people have arrived, what should we do?”
The Cheng family has been rooted in Hanzhou for many years, and it is not so easy to give up. No one wants to abandon the life of fine clothes and food and choose a path with an uncertain future.
Except for a few people who talked about it, the rest of the Cheng family didn’t even know about it.
“Our Cheng family, are we going to fall apart because of an unknown person?” “You should ask Xu Wanjun about this. If she
had
n’t caused trouble, would we need to put ourselves in?”
, instantly ceased to exist.
“She is the daughter of the master’s sister. She has been spoiled since she was a child. In her own territory, her temperament is innocuous, but she is still like this in the capital. Sooner or later, she will harm others and herself. I can’t get along with a junior…”
“Okay, don’t talk about it.” Seeing the ugly face of the Patriarch, someone discouraged him.
“It’s already happened, what’s the use of talking about it? If you have time to talk about this, it’s better to think about what we should do next.”
“Although it hasn’t spread to us yet, if those adults continue to investigate. , we will find out sooner or later, we have no choice for a long time, don’t we?”
There was a silence in the study.
“What did the lord say?” After a while, someone spoke.
“He said that he can’t meet the imperial court for the time being, let’s meet with that guest first and go with them.” Master Cheng rubbed his eyebrows and looked tired.
“Have so many people in the Cheng family given up on so many things?”
“If you move too much, the court will definitely notice…”
The meaning of the main Cheng family’s words was already obvious.
After midnight, the Cheng family owner changed his clothes, quietly left the Cheng family house, and went to the other village.
He knows more information than other Cheng family members, and knows who the guests are. Now that such a big incident has happened to the Cheng family, it is impossible to save it no matter what. In this case, it is better to change course and vote for his master.
King of Yue.
That was the first emperor’s favorite candidate for a new monarch. If they took refuge in the King of Yue, and when things were done, they would have the power of the dragon. What’s the point of losing this now?
He needs to meet someone first.
In Bie Zhuang, I finally got to a fairly safe place. King Yue finally got a good night’s sleep, but soon after he fell asleep, he was called up and said that someone was coming to see him.
No matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, he didn’t dare to show anything on his face. His escaped career during this period of time had once again changed his mind. If before, he could still be praised as a handsome young man, but now the wickedness between his eyebrows makes him look It doesn’t fit this description at all.
Putting on his clothes and getting out of bed, the King of Yue saw the Cheng family.
“See wang ye, wang ye has suffered during this time.” To treat King Yue, the Cheng family should be a little more respectful.
King Yue, who had not been treated like this for a long time, softened a lot, and helped the person to stand up: “No need to be more polite, this time, I need to rely on the family master Cheng a lot.
”
Before dawn, the Cheng family head quietly returned to the Cheng family’s main house.
He didn’t know that his every move was being watched by Yin Longwei.
The King of Yue and his party temporarily settled in Hanzhou. Where to go next and how to go, they need to wait for the instructions of the people behind them.
The news of Yinlongwei reached the imperial city. After reading it, Shang Junlin put the secret letter aside and said to Shen Yu, “Shang Junyue has arrived in Hanzhou.”
“Has Yinlongwei found their trace?” Shen Yu He put the book in his hand on the shelf, and was about to change another one, when he heard the words, he turned around.
Shang Junlin: “They colluded with the Cheng family.”
Shen Yu: “Cheng’s family, is the Yue family of Lord Xu?”
Shang Junlin: “Yes.”
Shen Yu: “Is it really related to them? Is Mrs. Xu the insider of that assassination?”
Shang Junlin: “She doesn’t I know, she didn’t even know that the people around her would pass the news to the assassin, and when the people from the Ministry of Justice told her the news, she still felt that she was slandering her.”
Shen Yu: “When does Your Majesty plan to do it?”
Shang Junlin: “Wait a minute.
Wait, they must have people to help them, I want to know where those people still have their bases.”
Shen Yu: “There are people who they have deployed in the capital, and there must be many other places.” The
weather is getting colder and colder, a winter The rain fell, the temperature got lower and lower, and the ground dragon had already burned in the palace. If it was not necessary, Shen Yu would not run out.
Nothing major happened in Beijing, and the attention of the courtiers was still on Subei’s side, and the war with Beimo was what they were most concerned about at the moment.
The second is the assassination case and the Yue Wang prison escape case.
With the in-depth investigation of Lord Fang, the courtiers also knew that the two things were done by the same force.
Early on, Fang Jun took a step forward: “I think that the source of the forces behind King Yue needs to be thoroughly investigated. This time, if they can assassinate His Majesty in order to rescue King Yue, what can they do next time? Should they surround King Yue? Ascension to the throne as an emperor?!” The
voice fell, and the silence of the needle in the hall could be heard.
Fang Jun’s remarks can be said to be quite rebellious, but what he said is exactly what the ministers are worried about. Dare to rob prison, dare to assassinate, do you want to change the dynasty next?
Nobody wants to see this result.
If the king of Yue succeeded in his rebellion, they would become old ministers of the previous dynasty. How many old ministers have been successful in the past?
They couldn’t let that happen, even for themselves.
After a long time, a minister stood up: “I think that what Mr. Fang said is extremely true, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated!”
Then, people continued to stand up and agree with Fang Jun’s approach.
The contest with the King of Yue and the forces behind him was put on the bright side at this moment.
“Since all of you feel that a thorough investigation should be carried out, Fang Jun, you are responsible for this matter. From this moment on, the title of King Yue has been temporarily withdrawn. If it is found that King Yue is innocent, I will compensate you. If King Yue is really against it, don’t blame me for not reading Brotherhood.” Shang Junlin’s words made the final conclusion on this matter.
In addition to Fang Jun, Shang Junlin also pointed out that several officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple cooperated in handling the case, and sent officials and troops to the fief of the King of Yue. If the title was taken away, the fief should naturally be returned to the court.
Prison escape, assassination, raising private soldiers… King Yue’s crimes were announced one after another, which confirmed his double-hearted guess.
Overnight, Shang Junyue became a rebel, and everyone shouted and beat him.
“I didn’t expect that King Yue was such a person behind his back. It’s a shame that I thought he was a gentle prince. I was really blind.
” In
the past, I provoked the daughters of several ministers at the same time, but I still refused to admit it after being discovered.”
“It happened in Yingxinglou, many people saw it, and I didn’t say it for the reputation of those girls. Sure enough, no matter what. The disguise will be exposed one day.” “Do
you
remember the remarks that smeared His Majesty before? They were also spread by the King of Yue.
”
, where is the face compared to your Majesty? With such a set of people behind the scenes, being a prince is just a good reincarnation.”
For a time, the reputation of the King of Yue among the people was extremely bad.
Jun Lin’s reputation is better, and the people are convinced that the bad things in the past were deliberately fabricated by the King of Yue in order to discredit the emperor.
There are also many scholars who wrote articles to denounce themselves for believing in rumors at first, guaranteeing that they will have more judgment in the future and will no longer follow what others say.
There is a new trend among scholars, and countless articles praising today’s sages appear, which no one expected.
After Shen Yu heard about it, he joked: “How is your Majesty feeling now?”
He put his hands under his chin and looked up at Shang Junlin with a smile in his eyes.
In addition to the People’s Daily, the court ran another newspaper, which was run in cooperation with the bookstore under Shen Yu’s name. It was used to include some interesting folk stories, to accept contributions from Dahuan’s people, and to introduce some good-quality products, which sold very well. Cheap and popular among the common people.
During this period of time, the articles that appeared most in the newspapers either denounced Shang Junyue or praised Shang Junlin in various ways. The contrast was very stark.
Shang Junlin was criticizing the book, and when he heard the words, he raised his other hand and pinched Shen Yu’s face: “Joke me?”
Shen Yu shook his head, his eyes flashing with a small light: “Where is it? I’m just happy for Your Majesty.”
Shang Junlin let go of his hand, rubbed his cheek for a while, then pinched his chin, leaned over, and kissed his lips.
“These are all because of Ayu…” The
murmur disappeared from his lips.
The kiss gradually deepened.
