Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 101 Ancient (29) Satisfaction

Lin Cheng's mansion is not far from the imperial palace, probably across a street, when Yan Nanxu got out of the car, he took a rough look at the surroundings, but was soon invited into the mansion by his attendants.

"Your Majesty, please stay in Xiyuan for the next few days. It's secluded there. It's best not to go out."

"It's good for General Lin to make the decision."

Lin Cheng was preoccupied with studying the jade seal, so he casually ordered his servants to take Yan Nanxu to Xiyuan, while he quickly walked away holding the wooden box.

It is true that Xiyuan is secluded, but it is more desolate than secluded. It is located in the innermost part of the mansion, and it seems that no one lives in it or cleans it all year round. There are even a lot of weeds growing in the courtyard.

The attendant who led the way opened the door. Yan Nanxu was a little stunned when he first saw the scene inside, but his expression didn't change much and he walked in.

Before Yan Nanxu could say anything, the attendant who led the way directly stated that he still had something to do, and let the prince take care of himself, then turned around and left.

Yan Nanxu was not surprised by the man's attitude. He looked at the overgrown yard, then walked to the back room and opened the door──
There is not much furniture in the house, and things look very old. There is a bronze mirror on the table by the window, which seems to be a simple dressing table. It seems that this place was a woman's room a long time ago.

When Yan Nanxu walked into the house, a cloud of dust rose up as soon as he stepped in. It was really not a place for people to live in.

But to be honest, it was much better than Yan Nanxu had imagined before. At least he could still settle down. He seemed to suddenly think of something and shook his head with a smile: Lin Cheng is really impatient and can't pretend for a moment...

Just now the attendant turned back and came to Lin Cheng's side. Lin Cheng was studying the jade seal with great joy. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the attendant's return and said casually, "How is it? What's his expression when he saw the scene over there? Did he say anything? "

"Back to the general, the man didn't seem particularly surprised and didn't say anything."

"Hmph, I forgive him for not daring to have any objections," Lin Cheng sneered, "The whole family of the King of Southern Sichuan has been killed, and he is now a bereaved dog. How dare he say anything?"

From Lin Cheng's point of view, what about the Prince of Southern Sichuan?So what about the three princes entrusting each other?Now it is himself who has gained the leadership, and he doesn't have to show favor to anyone anymore.

The attendant is used to looking at people's faces, and said flatteringly: "What the general said is true. Then, do we still need to take care of that person?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's life or death, just close the door and don't let him go out..." Lin Cheng paused again, thought about it, and said again: "Let's try not to let him die for the time being, just in case later What's the use?"

The attendant retreated.

Lin Cheng put the jade seal away contentedly, and now he can sit back and relax, waiting for information from Yan Ze, and when Yan Ze and Yan Jin are both defeated in the fight, it will be the day when he becomes king!

However, at this time, Yanze did not run around recruiting soldiers and horses as Lin Cheng expected, but just sat in the study and wrote some letters.

"Have you found a suitable candidate in the capital?" Yan Ze asked Shen Linxi who was beside him while writing.

"Returning to Your Highness, I have already found him. The man is a little eunuch with little real power, named Gao Tong, but fortunately he serves Yan Jin personally and can say a few words."

"When Gao Tong was working in the Yonghe Palace, he had a good relationship with a guard there. Later, he accidentally committed a crime. It was the guard who begged him to save his life. The guard died of the flu soon after, which happened to be convenient. We pretend."

Yan Ze nodded and reminded: "Those who contact you should be careful."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the guard's hometown is in Linzhou. We have specially found people from Linzhou. The cause and effect are seamless and will not be exposed."

"Okay, tomorrow is Yanjin's last day away from the capital, we must hurry up, and we will be a little tied up when he comes back."

Speaking of which, Yan Ze picked up the written letter paper and looked at it, his eyes moved slightly, and suddenly he said with a smile: "That fellow Lin Cheng has a huge appetite, he wants to swallow us all in one gulp, but he doesn't think about himself, will he will be choked to death..."

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.So who is the praying mantis and who is the oriole?
The night is deep, the sky is not yet clear, and the situation is still uncertain.

Gao Tong feels that he has had great luck recently. A few days ago, when he was looking for a fortune teller on the street, the person told him that he would meet a nobleman, and the money would be bountiful. As expected, the "noble person" contacted him today.

It stands to reason that Gao Tong, as the emperor's personal eunuch, should have a lot of power, and he can make some money no matter what, but Yan Jin has a weird temper, he is too moody, no one dares to do petty theft under his nose .

If you want to be rewarded, you must show enough usefulness, for example, the young prisoner who accidentally said "Mr. Mu Xin" before won a big reward.

Gao Tong was so greedy, but he didn't have much ability and couldn't come up with anything valuable.

Seeing that the people around me are rich and wealthy, but I am pitifully waiting for the monthly payment, I really can't reconcile it.

But just one day ago, the family of the guard who had rescued him suddenly asked someone to find the palace, saying that there was a famine in his hometown and wanted him to help. Gao Tong didn't want to pay attention to it at first. The so-called kindness is gone after people die, so who cares? What about those who are related?

However, the people over there revealed a piece of news to themselves at the same time—they overheard someone conspiring to rebel in the inn, and that person was a high-ranking official!

Hearing this, Gao Tong became interested. You must know that the current Emperor Yanjin is most concerned about those chaotic parties. If he can give relevant clues, he will be promoted and get rich just around the corner!
So at noon the next day, he met with the guard's family.

The man was dressed in dirty and messy clothes, and he really looked like a fleeing famine. He said that he was the elder brother of a guard, and when he mentioned his younger brother who died early, he couldn't help but cry. How nice.

Gao Tong felt a little sick, and didn't want to listen to these nonsense anymore, so he asked directly: "Is the news you said true?"

"It's absolutely true!" The man said excitedly, "I saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."

Gao Tong narrowed his eyes, "How did you hear such an important matter so easily?"

The man smiled embarrassedly and explained: "Well... I had no money to stay in the inn on the way, so I sneaked into a small compartment of the inn to spend the night. No one knew I was there. The guest room where we were talking was next door, and I heard it by leaning against the wooden board."

This reason is quite reasonable, but Gao Tong still seemed a little hesitant, and the man lowered his voice and said: "Master Gao, in fact, I not only heard them talking about treason, but I also heard them discussing the Jade Seal of Chuanguo. Take Yuxi away."

"Are you serious?!" Gao Tong immediately stood up, and then realized something was wrong, looked around vigilantly, sat down and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure you heard it, right?"

"I'm sure," the man said firmly, "and I saw it. In the end, the senior official carried the box and left." He also gestured for the exact size.

Gao Tong was getting more and more excited at the moment, the rebellious party and Yuxi, these two extremely important clues were in front of his eyes at this moment, as long as he knew who that "big official" was...

"Let's go ahead and make a price." Gao Tong didn't want to wait any longer. This man just wanted money anyway, so he went straight to the point.

The man paused, and slowly stretched out a finger.

Gao Tong frowned slightly, "What does this mean?"

"100 taels of gold."

"You're crazy! The lion opened his mouth?!" Gao Tong scolded angrily.

The man burst into tears immediately, begging: "Lord Gao, there is a famine in our family, many people have died, there is really no way!"

"Then you have too much! In this way, 50 taels of gold, no more!"

"Master Gao, Master Gao... Think about it, I can tell you the name of that person directly, you just need to remind the emperor, the emperor will definitely send someone to investigate, those people must have made big moves in rebellion, I am afraid that no clues will be found Is it? When the time comes to wipe out the rebellious party and Yuxi, you will be a great hero, not to mention a hundred taels of gold, even a thousand taels of money will not be a problem!"

These words obviously moved Gao Tong, who looked troubled. To be honest, it's not like he couldn't come up with 100 taels of gold...

"Are you sure what you said is true?"

"I'm sure, if Mr. Gao doesn't believe me, I will stay in the capital until you catch the rebels."

Gao Tong looked at the person in front of him, and his abacus was crackling in his heart: If what this person said is true, then one hundred taels of gold is nothing. Suspicion, just find a thug to get the money back when the time comes, anyway, it will do no harm to me...

"Okay," Gao Tong took a deep breath and said, "I promise you, I'll give you a hundred taels of gold in exchange for that person's name."

In a separate courtyard outside the capital, Yanze was fishing in a rare leisurely mood. He was a master of fishing, and fish would take the bait from time to time.

"Your Highness, there is news from over there that the arrangements have been made." Shen Linxi came to report the situation.

"Well, we have nothing to do for the time being, just wait for the opportunity."

Yan Ze stared at the water, another fish bit the hook.

Shen Linxi looked at this scene and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, you said that I will come to feed the fish in this pond tomorrow. They shouldn't be hungry. Why are they still biting the hook?"

Yan Ze smiled and said slowly: "Because they are stupid, they are not hungry but still want to eat, they will never be satisfied..."
