Empress, your husband is invincible

While peeling the oranges, Li Baijing raised his head to meet Ye Cheng's gaze.

Zhuang Shuanglin froze, looked at Ye Cheng, then at Li Baijing.

"What charades are you two playing? Could it be that the assassin is related to Baiyifang?"

Ye Cheng looked at Li Baijing silently.

Li Baijing randomly stuffed the peeled orange petals into Zhuang Shuanglin's mouth.

"Eat oranges, what Brother Ye and I said has nothing to do with your case."

Zhuang Shuanglin's face froze, blushing hurriedly spat out the orange, and glared at Li Baijing bitterly.

Ye Cheng suddenly remembered something, looked at Zhuang Shuanglin with a strange expression, and pointed at Li Baijing:

"Suddenly remembered, isn't this the Imperial Palace? Why did this guy come in?"

Zhuang Shuanglin said helplessly:

"Your Majesty is so gracious that he specially allowed this unsightly guy to come in."

Li Baijing was dissatisfied.

"I'm here to visit Brother Ye, right? Why is it an eyesore?"

Ye Cheng glanced at him with a half-smile.

This guy, at that time, he was mocking himself for being lazy...

"Forget it, let's talk about business."

Li Baijing choked on Ye Cheng's eyes, waved his hand and said immediately.

"Are you really serious?"

Ye Cheng was slightly taken aback.

When it comes to business, Li Baijing's face is a little solemn.

"When Zhuang Shuanglin and I passed by the overpass in Qi Lefang, who do you think I saw?"

"..."

Ye Cheng walked around him directly and looked at Zhuang Shuanglin.

"When Li Baijing traveled south with his uncle when he was young, he once met people from the Red Lotus Sect in Yanzhou in the south of Lingnan."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Shuanglin also became serious.

"According to what he said, it was the Red Lotus Sect who performed at Qilefang Tianqiao at that time."

The Red Lotus Sect was originally just a branch of Taoism in the Lingnan area.

But as Da Ling's control over Lingnan weakened, coupled with the continuous natural and man-made disasters in Lingnan, the Red Lotus Sect revolted.

After more than ten years of development, the Red Lotus Sect has not only recruited many capable people and strangers in the Jianghu, but even occupied nearly half of Lingnan's territory.

In recent years, its influence has even spread across the Dajingjiang River, and it is developing towards the north of the Jiangjiang River.

All in all, these people are out-and-out rebels who want to change the dynasty and overthrow Da Ling.

Ye Cheng once listened to the system explain the history of the Red Lotus Sect to him.

At this moment, he frowned slightly.

Those people who are willing to take the risk to infiltrate into Huangdu City must have plans that are extremely detrimental to Da Ling and even Ling Xuejian.

"Have you sent someone to watch?"

Looking up at Zhuang Shuanglin, Ye Cheng spoke slowly.

"Or do I need to take a shot to capture it completely?"

Zhuang Shuanglin felt helpless for a moment.

Ever since she asked Ye Cheng to make a move before, Ye Cheng seems to be particularly concerned about these fights?
After thinking about it, Zhuang Shuanglin had no choice but to answer:
"For the time being, you don't need to take action, sir. I have sent my family members to watch over those people. I have already asked His Majesty for instructions."

Seeing the disappointment flashing in Ye Cheng's eyes, Zhuang Shuanglin pursed his lips, and took a careful look at him:
"Well, actually, what Li Baijing said just now is not what I'm doing this time..."

?

Ye Cheng was dumbfounded.

Could it be that these two guys really wanted to amuse him deliberately, and came to accompany him to relieve boredom?
"Since Mr. Ye is fine, may I second Uncle Wang..."

Mentioning this, Ling Xuejian couldn't help being a little annoyed, and before Ye Cheng could answer, he slapped the table and scolded angrily:

"Zhuang Yan, that little bastard! He only complains every day! This is great, it's made my mother feel cold!"

Ye Cheng was completely dumbfounded.

Originally, I thought that my reason for "being exposed to the wind and cold" was fake enough and weird enough...

But if you are angry, can you still get wind and cold?
Subconsciously looked at Li Baijing, but saw that he just lowered his head, with a strange expression on his face.

Ye Cheng became interested for a while.

……

Under the mediation of Imperial Physician Wang, Ling Xuejian agreed to Ye Cheng's request to accompany him to Wuhou Mansion.

Brazenly squeezing into Ye Cheng's carriage, Li Baijing began to describe the scene of last night to him vividly.

"...Brother Ye, you haven't seen it, tsk tsk, why was the scene last night so brutal?"

Saying that, it wasn't enough, opened the curtain and looked at Zhuang Shuanglin who was riding a horse in front, Li Baijing began to reach out and gesture at Ye Cheng.

"It's so thick, yes, I didn't lie to you! It's just a whip as thick as a finger...

Zhuang Shuanglin forcibly broke two of Zhuang Yan's buttocks!That picture, dare you imagine? "

"As for Zhuang Yan, that little fat man, he really doesn't have much to say about loyalty!"

"No matter how Zhuang Shuanglin whipped him, he just hugged Zhuang Shuanglin's leg and howled for mercy, insisting not to mention the whereabouts of that little 5000 taels..."

"Ok?"

Hearing what Li Baijing said, Ye Cheng panicked, frowned and asked:

"What's the situation? Why is it still related to money?"

Li Baijing looked at Ye Cheng strangely.

"Where did you think that kid got so much money? Except for the odds and ends that Aunt Zhuang gave him. Those banknotes that were spent on you and me were all stolen by that kid from the storeroom of his house by forcing the housekeeper!"

"..."

Ye Cheng subconsciously lifted the curtain and peeked at Zhuang Shuanglin's back.

If he remembers correctly, the Fengqiuhuang pearl hairpin that he brought to Li Baijing yesterday seemed to be nearly 5000 taels from Zhuang Yan...

The scene of Zhuang Shuanglin beating Zhuang Yan last night in his mind suddenly became more three-dimensional...

Seeing this, Li Baijing patted Ye Sheng's thigh and comforted him:
"Brother Ye, don't worry. Didn't I say that? Although Zhuang Yan is a dude, he really shows loyalty. He didn't betray you and me."

Silently wiping away the spittle sprayed on his face, Ye Cheng asked in a low voice:

"What is Mrs. Zhuang's typhoid fever?"

"That kid Zhuang Yan was really beaten out by that horsewhip.

I was having dinner with Aunt Zhuang and Zhuang Shuanglin and their mother and daughter, and that kid was clutching his butt and limping to sue..."

Dare to sue in front of Zhuang Shuanglin, this kid has guts!

Ye Cheng couldn't help giving Zhuang Yan a thumbs up in his heart.

Recalling the scene from last night, Li Baijing couldn't help but laugh:

"Before I finished hearing the story, Aunt Zhuang's heart ached so badly that she snatched the duster from the maidservant's hand and chased after Zhuang Shuanglin!"

"How strong do you think Zhuang Shuanglin's force is? But in order to let Aunt Zhuang relieve her anger, she still pretended to be weak in the end and took a few blows.

After beating Zhuang Shuanglin, Aunt Zhuang regretted it, feeling distressed and angry...

Don't you have a headache this morning? "

Coupled with the action, Li Baijing's speech is extremely graphic.

But it was precisely because of this that Ye Cheng couldn't help feeling more anxious:

"Is there still time for me to stop the car?"

As if hearing Ye Cheng's words, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Before Ye Cheng could react, Zhuang Shuanglin, who was carrying a whip, opened the curtain.
