General

"Heavy soldiers in hand?" Ling Feng leaned forward with a piece of duck bone in his mouth and asked with great interest, "In the south of the Yangtze River, apart from the commanders-in-chief of the four counties, only the king of Zhennan, Cheng Ao, is left. The military power is over, but among the four counties, Lian Jingzhi is the strongest, he probably doesn't bother to count the other three general soldiers, so..."

"It's Cheng Ao." Ning Yu pinched another piece of meat and put it in her mouth, and nodded while eating in a leisurely manner.

Seeing that most of the duck meat in the paper bag gradually disappeared, Ling Feng held his chest in distress, and hurriedly asked aggrievedly: "Could it be that Cheng Ao opened the Qingjin Pavilion?!"

On the surface, he was asking the reason, but what he thought in his heart was, if he said a few more words, would he be able to eat a few less bites? ?

Sure enough, Ning Yu put down the wine cup, and said with a serious frown, "It's more than that. This brothel is also a cover to cover up for Cheng Ao and Li Shouhong's misappropriation of disaster relief money."

"Oh?!" Ling Feng was taken aback for a moment, and seemed to inadvertently grabbed the other duck leg into his hand, wondering, "How to cover it?"

"The disaster relief money is official money, with the inscription of the Tian family clearly cast on it, no one dares to take it out and spend it." Ning Yu raised her hand to fill a glass of wine, and generously pushed it in front of Ling Feng, and continued, "The underground secret room of the Qingjin Pavilion has a furnace and a secret passage, which are specially used to recast the official silver. More importantly, all the recast disaster relief silver has become the daily income of the Qingjin Pavilion, which is justified. There is evidence to go, no one can say too much!"

"What you said...is there any conclusive evidence?" Ling Feng frowned, and confirmed to him with some hesitation.

Thinking about it, this matter is of great importance, and it involves a person with a heavy hand, so one must be more careful, but on the other hand, if the Zhennan King can be brought down smoothly, the regent will lose another important piece of paper. piece!

"Naturally." Ning Yu gave Ling Feng a cold look, after so many years of getting along day and night, how could he still ask such a question?If he is not fully sure, how can he say anything at will, "It's just that if we want to take down Cheng Ao, the impeachment from the court alone will only make him jump the wall, we have to make some preparations in advance." !"

"How to prepare?!" Ling Feng nodded, silently agreeing.

"Cheng Ao is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Qingjin Pavilion. Every three months, he will quietly go to check the accounts. He is usually protected by heavy troops, but this private matter cannot be known to outsiders, so he usually only brings One or two people close to me..." Ning Yu wiped her mouth with her sleeve when she was full of wine and food, and continued to say calmly, "I have arranged people to spy secretly, and when he reappears in the Qingjin Pavilion, we will first Get him under control, and wait for news of the punishment from the court..."

"Alright..." Ling Feng raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Yu with admiration, but when he thought of the current chaotic situation under the regent's dictatorship, he still asked in a low voice with some uneasiness, "What about the Chaotang?" Is the lord going to impeach Li Shouhong directly with personal and material evidence in the next year? Will the regent protect that old thief forcibly?"

"It's not that the prince didn't think about this issue at the beginning. If the evidence is convincing and the regent wants to forcibly protect him, I'm afraid he will lose his prestige in front of the officials in the future, and it will be difficult to convince everyone. What's more..." Ning Yu raised her head , looked at Ling Feng quietly with those black eyes like a deep pool, but quietly hid a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes, "We can also make the matter so big that the people in the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River are full of grievances, making them hard to get off. At that time, Li Shouhong, and even those party members who participated in it, had to be killed if not killed..."

"Spreading rumors and gathering crowds to make trouble, you are really good at it! Hahahaha!" Ling Feng picked up the wine cup and drank it very happily, but in the undisguised laugh, Ning Yu's face But suddenly it became slightly darker.

"Cough..." Ling Feng's laughter became smaller and smaller. From the corner of his eye, he saw Ning Yu's face sinking like water and squinting at him. He suddenly coughed dryly, and quietly changed the subject, "That... I'm at Dragon Cloud Palace today. , I ran into a strange thing, why don't you help me analyze it?!"

"What's the matter?!" Ning Yu frowned and asked with a cold face.

"The new eunuch from the Dragon Palace, Chunqiu, sneaked into the Queen's bedroom during dinner and guard changing time. You said he and the Queen's empress... what is the relationship?!"

"The queen's bedroom?"

Ning Yu silently recited it a few times without comprehension, but her mind was spinning rapidly.

"First, it is possible that he was passing the news to the queen on behalf of His Majesty, and he was acting secretly just to avoid the eyes and ears of the regent. Second, the regent and the queen were not on good terms, and the queen ended up like this because of him. Thanks to this, this Spring and Autumn Period may also be the eyeliner arranged by the Regent around His Majesty, who can not only monitor His Majesty's actions, but also secretly harm the Empress?!" Ning Yu looked at Ling Feng, but his eyes were a little erratic, he frowned, and looked at him. He paused and continued in a low voice, "Or maybe... there are other people involved in this deep palace inner courtyard?"

"It's almost as I imagined." Ling Feng rarely nodded seriously, leaned into his ear and lowered his voice, "I have already handed over this matter to Chu Xiao for investigation, and I believe that with his ability, someone will be satisfied." answered."

"Chu Xiao?" Ning Yu suddenly couldn't believe her ears, when did he get involved with that guy? !Besides, what's the matter with this unfounded trust?

"Is this person trustworthy?!" Ning Yu stared at Ling Feng dissatisfied.

"That..." Ling Feng scratched his head, he didn't know how to prove to Ning Yu whether Chu Xiao was trustworthy, anyway, he believed it at that time, "It should be trustworthy..."

"...Should?" Ning Yu opened her mouth, her perennially stiff face gradually turned from shock to anger, and finally there was a faint hint of helplessness, "...Forget it, His Majesty still has to find a way to remind, if he orders That's all, if he doesn't know yet, you should be more careful and guard against this person."

"Uh...Okay, I'll make arrangements later." Knowing that he was wrong, Ling Feng quickly shrank his neck and agreed in a flattering manner.
