The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

Qin Zhong knelt on the cold floor tiles, kowtowed to say hello, did not dare to move when he did not hear the cry, the peripheral vision of his eyes was completely restrained, like a mass of ashen shadows blending into the air, It was too quiet to smell the slightest breath of fresh air.

At this time, it's not something that can be pitied just by being obedient. Qin Zhong is very clear about his position in the Palace of Zhongshun.

"Jingqing, get up, good boy, come to this king." King Zhongshun said casually, as if summoning an obedient dog.

Qin Zhong didn't dare to hesitate, kowtowed his head again quickly, got up and obediently stood three steps away from King Zhongshun, raised his robe and knelt down again.

Only then did King Zhongshun show a satisfied smile, and patted his knee, "Come here again, why haven't I seen you for a few days, and you and this king are the opposite of each other."

These words have the meaning of blame, Qin Zhong smiled wryly in his heart, but on his face he squinted happily and shyly at King Zhongshun's face, obediently stepped forward and fell on his knee.The crown prince Tu Lingfeng sat at the bottom, without raising his eyebrows, he just took a slow sip from the cup of tea.

King Zhongshun's hands were plump, white and soft, with thin calluses, slowly stroking Qin Zhong's smooth side face. Suddenly, his fingers pressed hard, holding his chin and lifting it up, "This child is getting more and more handsome, look It looks smaller than Shuoer." Qin Zhong almost trembled.

There was no intimacy in King Zhongshun's smile, his eyes were cold, with an imperceptible killing intent.

Qin Zhong hastily lowered his eyelashes to hide the vigilant look in his eyes, but in an instant, he already had a docile attitude.

King Zhongshun patted him on the shoulder, "Get up, I have something to leave to you. Go to Yiyang for me today, take a letter to someone, and when you go out later, someone will leave the things Here you go, don’t ask too many questions, you’ll know what to do when you get there. Jing Qing, you have never let me down before, so it’s better not to let things like Fujian happen again.”

Qin Zhong hurriedly said: "Jingqing dare not disappoint the high hopes of the lord and the prince, and vows to fulfill the orders of the lord."

King Zhongshun said: "Just remember, let's go down."

Qin Zhong retreated respectfully.

"Father, why did you ask him to go?" After Qin Zhong left, Tu Lingfeng put down the teacup in his hand and asked.

"I let him go to Fujian to help Shuo'er consolidate Fujian's power. Shuo'er had an accident, but he came back unscathed. Hmph, if it wasn't difficult for me to raise him, how could he survive to this day. Jiang Shandu Although we are loyal, we are not thorough enough in handling things, although we have other arrangements, it is not appropriate to expose them prematurely, let Qin Zhong attract some attention, and get rid of this trouble by the way."

Tu Lingfeng nodded, then turned to say: "By the way, Father has a solution for Shuoer's matter."

"I've already taken care of it. Although Shuo'er suffered some grievances inside, the people below dare not neglect him. Just wait a little longer, it won't take long."

King Zhongshun said: "Tu Lingyun, you have to keep an eye on him, you are not afraid that this kid will turn the world upside down, but if he really causes trouble, we can't spare any manpower to deal with him now."

Tu Lingfeng responded: "My son is watching. He has not been idle for a while. He is inquiring about news at the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War every day, but it is all under my control. Father does not need to be distracted by it. Concubine Jia... "

King Zhongshun waved his hand: "Everything is going according to plan, and I'm tired too, you go down. Go tell your mother and concubine about Shuo'er, don't worry about it."

Tu Lingfeng listened with his hands down, and then looked up, and saw that King Zhongshun's temples were already gray and white, but they were neatly braided together. No matter how you looked at it, he was still a tiger that had been pulling out its teeth and showing off its might.

The father is old, and in the world from now on, only me, Shuoer and his son will be left.

Tu Lingfeng felt that his heart was widening, and he turned around and quietly backed out.

Yi Yang.

Three days had passed, and Lin Mingyu was following the teahouse every day, eating tea and snacks, and finally got something.

Zhou Shouhe is indeed not from Jiang Shandu, there is another force behind him, Lin Mingyu can feel that this force seems to be related to Jiang Shandu's, but both sides serve completely different interests, who is it?

"Zhou Shouhe came to Yiyang four years ago, which proves that the people behind him had the ability to intervene in the affairs of the Yiyang government office at least four or five years ago. At that time, that person was still there." Tu Yan analyzed .

If King Xianyi Zhong was still alive, the people who had this ability at that time were nothing more than him, King Zhongshun, and King Changping.In fact, the possibility of King Changping is even greater. This is the border gate, and it is not far from his place of guarding. He has been in the border area for more than ten years, and his party members are all over the place. It is very easy to place a person in the Yamen of Yiyang Mansion. one thing.But if they are from King Changping, why not reveal their identity to them?

If it is the King of Zhongshun, in fact, judging from what they have learned these days, Jiang Shandu is at least [-]% sure that he is the King of Zhongshun, and the remaining [-]% is actually the same as the mystery of Zhou Shouhe's identity. Zhongwang body.

Xianyi Zhongwang, at that time the voice of the government and the public was the highest, and it was the empress who was born in the first place. His name and strength were second to none, and he had descendants behind him, and the descendants had generals who controlled military power.It's just that at that time, King Changping of the Northwest had already become a powerful force with an increasingly stable foundation. Out of deterrence to this emperor's younger brother, it was necessary to place his own people in Yiyang.

"Check again, find out who brought him in, who is behind the scenes, and check his relationship with Jiang Shandu. It's been three days, and the people we sent out should have returned." Tu Yan finally said.

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye, and at this time, Lin Mingyu and the others had already realized that something was wrong.They transported grain and grass, and Yiyang was the place they had to go through. In the past, when there was a battle in the frontier, most of the grain and grass were transported to Yiyang, so the magistrate and the army took over from there, and there was no serious problem.

However, this time, they have an explicit order to go to the front line. Although they are delayed here, Yiyang Mansion has no right to forcibly keep their food and grass, and take away their mission.But Jiang Shandu was willing to take the risk of being questioned afterwards, and the more he got to the back, the more blatantly he would hold on to his things. If he couldn't detect the conspiracy, Tu Yan and others wouldn't have to mess around in the officialdom.

It looked like something must have changed at the front.

However, their eyes and ears have been deceived. Although Jiang Shandu accompanied Tu Yan to banquets every day, he set up defensive lines outside the house for surveillance. As for the other officials who followed, they could no longer go out without incident. .

The treatment of Lin Mingyu and Su Buzhan was much better, probably because they were concerned about the relative power behind them, as long as they didn't attack the other party's military camp, they could still walk around in Yiyang City, and there was no need to think about going out of the city.

All of a sudden, the food transportation team was like a turtle in a urn, being guarded by Jiang Shandu in Yiyang City.

"It won't work like this. We have to find a way to understand the situation outside. What is the situation in Changping Wang's Uncle? Judging by Jiang Shandu's reaction, is it an extremely urgent situation? Think about it, everyone. Is there any way? Is there any way to go out of the city and check the situation?"

Tu Yan paced in the room, since he came out of the government office, his brows have not been loosened.Jiang Shandu is already out of oil and salt now, good wine and good meat are served for you, and you can't fight back if you beat him or scold him - of course, because you know too little information, Tu Yan didn't tear himself apart with him - such a situation , can not but let him worry.

Su Buzhan said: "A few days ago he didn't dare to be so obvious, and now even Lao Liu's actions are under control, except for me and Mingyu who dare not do anything, and he still keeps some courtesy to you, Brothers in the city, who else can act? Only 500 of us entered the city, and the rest stayed outside the city. But the number of people watching and guarding around us in the past few days may add up to several hundred. The city gate There are hundreds of people patrolling and guarding the city, and we alone may have fallen into his eyes and left behind. From this point of view, it is uncertain what happened to the brothers outside the city. Prince, Mingyu, I think Jiang Shandu's strength is very problematic."

Lin Mingyu nodded and said: "That's right, the strength in his hands is not just 1000 or [-]. There was no result in Yiyang's empty payment case before, so there may be clues here. In this way, I will try to find a way to investigate this matter." , Zhou Shou and there, it can be confirmed that he is a member of Zhongshun Palace. We were distracted by him too much before, so that we suffered from this."

"I didn't expect Uncle Zhongshun Wang to have such a trick. Jiang Shandu and Zhou Shouhe played a good show and deceived us all in the dark. If it wasn't for Mingyu, you knew that kid named Qin Zhong and knew that he was Zhongshun Wangfu. Right now, we are still spending our time on him. By the way, since you know Mingyu, see if it is possible to attack him and break the situation." Tu Yan said.

Lin Mingyu recalled the past encounters with Qin Zhong, and replied: "I'll do it now. Don't touch it, you can help me cover it outside."

After Lin Mingyu went out, he still walked to the same road that he had walked countless times these days. It was still the same restaurant. He chose a position on the second floor with the railings open, and waited for that person to appear.

Half an hour later, Qin Zhong really came out from Zhou Shouhe's house, looked up for a while, and fixed his eyes on where Lin Mingyu was. Lin Mingyu nodded when he saw him, and opened the fan in his hand, as if to greet him Fanned it, then walked over.

He guessed right, Qin Zhong had discovered him a long time ago, and even his appearance revealed a deliberate taste.Zhou Shouhe's identity, Qin Zhong let himself see and guess it on purpose?

Lin Mingyu had a feeling in his heart that when he saw Qin Zhong, he would know all the truth.
