The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

Knowing that the emperor sent people to Hanzhou, King Yue and his party changed their original plan. They originally planned to go directly to Cheng's house. Given the status of Cheng's family in Hanzhou, there is no place safer than Cheng's house, but what happened later, The Cheng family wasn't that safe anymore.

At present, the investigation sent by the imperial court is mainly about Xu Wanjun's work. The Cheng family has been entrenched in Hanzhou for many years, and they do not show the mountains or water. If it is not for Xu Wanjun, they will not be exposed so soon.

Don't the people behind it want to choose other safer methods?It's just that time is too tight, and the imperial court is chasing after them urgently, they have no choice.

Yinlongwei was acting in secret, and it was the imperial guards in the capital that participated in the arrest operation.

Don’t think that the Forbidden Army is the children of officials and eunuchs who went in for gold plating. The former Dahuan Forbidden Army can be said to be so, but the Forbidden Army in Shang Junlin’s hands is not. This is the army that fought with him first, and it was really fought on the battlefield. Those who want to join the Forbidden Army have to go through many tests, and only those who are good enough will be selected.

This kind of forbidden army is not an idiot. It is not so easy to escape their pursuit.

If they hadn't arranged an assassination to divert their attention, the most likely thing is that they wouldn't even be able to leave 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 found out that Xu Wanjun had offended the emperor during the autumn hunt and attracted the courtiers to Hanzhou, the people behind him were so angry that they smashed the glass. The foolproof arrangement was because of a huge mistake made by a fool. Killed.

The Cheng family is no longer safe, so they can only find other places. Fortunately, the Cheng family has a big business and many Zhuangzi. It is not difficult to pick one of them that is not known to outsiders. They finally chose a place that is also located in Hanzhou, but it is far away. Zhuangzi.

The owner of the Cheng family knew that there would be guests coming soon. After getting the news, he didn't go to the other village immediately. Instead, he summoned those who had the right to speak in the family to discuss.

"Now that the people have arrived, what should we do?"

The Cheng family has taken root in Hanzhou for many years, and it is not so easy to give up. No one wants to abandon the life of luxury and wealth and choose a path with an uncertain future.

The Cheng family didn't even know about this matter except for a few people who were talking about it.

"Our Cheng family, are we going to fall apart because of an unknown person?"

"You should ask Xu Wanjun about this matter, if she didn't cause trouble, would we need to involve ourselves?"

When the favor once touched interests, it instantly ceased to exist.

"She is the daughter of the owner's younger sister. She has been spoiled since she was a child. Her temperament is harmless in her own territory, but she is still like this in the capital. Sooner or later, she will harm others and herself. I said at the beginning that she should be disciplined. You insisted on saying I have trouble with a junior..."

"Okay, don't talk about it." Seeing the Patriarch's face was ugly, someone dissuaded him.

"Things have already happened, what's the use of talking about this? If you have time to talk about this, why not think about what we should do next."

"Although it hasn't affected us yet, if those adults continue to investigate, they will find us sooner or later. We have no choice, 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 confront the imperial court yet, let's meet up with that guest first and go with them." Patriarch Cheng rubbed the center of his brows with a tired look on his face.

"There are so many people in the Cheng family and so many things, do you give up all of them?"

"If you move too much, you will definitely be noticed by the court..."

The meaning of Master Cheng's words was already obvious.

After midnight, the head of the Cheng family changed his clothes, quietly left the Cheng family's residence, and headed to the Biezhuang.

He knew more about the identity of the guests than the other Cheng family members. Now that such a big incident happened to the Cheng family, it was impossible to save it no matter what.

King of Yue.

That was the emperor's most preferred candidate for the new monarch. If they took refuge in the king of Yue, they would have the merit of following the dragon when things are done. What is it that they lost now?

He needs to meet people first.

In Biezhuang, finally arrived at a fairly safe place, King Yue finally had a good night's sleep, but he was called up shortly after he fell asleep, saying that someone was coming to see him.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't dare to show anything on his face. The escape career during this period of time changed his disposition again. If he could be praised as Mr. Pian Pianjia before, now the slyness between his brows and eyes makes him look It doesn't fit that description at all.

Putting clothes on and getting out of bed, King Yue met Master Cheng.

"See the lord, the lord has suffered during this time." Patriarch Cheng should be respectful to King Yue.

King Yue, who hadn't been treated like this for a long time, relaxed a lot, and helped him stand up: "You don't need to be polite, this time you need to rely more on Patriarch Cheng."

One person is flattering, and the other is enjoying it. The atmosphere between the two is very good.

Before dawn, the owner of the Cheng family quietly returned to the main house of the Cheng family.

He didn't know that Yinlongwei was watching his every move.

The King of Yue and his party temporarily settled down in Hanzhou. They needed to wait for instructions from the people behind them where to go and how to go.

The news of Yinlongwei spread to the imperial city. After reading it, Shang Junlin put the secret letter aside, and said to Shen Yu: "Shang Junyue has arrived in Hanzhou."

"Did the Yinlong Guard find their trace?" Shen Yu put the book in his hand on the shelf, and was about to change another one, when he heard this, he turned around and said.

Shang Junlin: "They have colluded with the Cheng family."

Shen Yu: "The Cheng family is Mr. Xu's Yue family?"

Shang Junlin: "Yes."

Sullen: "Does it really have something to do with them? Was Madam Xu the one who knew about the assassination?"

Shang Junlin: "She didn't know, she didn't even know that the people around her would send news to the assassin. When the people from the Ministry of Punishment told her the news, she still felt that they were slandering her."

Sullen: "When does His Majesty plan to do it?"

Shang Junlin: "Wait a minute, they must have someone to respond, I want to know where those people still have a stronghold."

Shen Yu: "The capital can have people assigned by them, and there must be many other places."

The weather is getting colder and colder, a winter rain is falling, the temperature is getting lower and lower, the palace has already been burned with earth dragons, if it is not necessary, Shen Yu will not run outside.

Nothing major happened in Beijing, and the attention of the courtiers was still on Subei. The war with Beimo was what they were most concerned about at the moment.

Followed by the assassination case and Yue Wang prison escape case.

With the deepening of Mr. Fang's investigation, the courtiers also knew that the two incidents were done by the same force.

In the early morning, Fang Jun took a step forward: "I think that where the forces behind King Yue come from, we need to thoroughly investigate. This time, they can assassinate His Majesty in order to save King Yue, what else can they do next time? Should they just surround King Yue?" Became the emperor?!"

As soon as the voice fell, the hall could be heard in the silence of a needle dropping.

Fang Jun's words can be said to be quite treasonous, but what he said was exactly what the ministers were worried about. If he dared to rob prison and assassinate, would he want to change the dynasty next step?

No one wants to see this result.

If the king of Yue succeeds in rebelling, they will become the old ministers of the former dynasty. Through the ages, how many old ministers can be successful?Even for themselves, they can't let this happen.

After a long time, a minister stood up: "I think what Mr. Fang said is absolutely true, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

After that, people continued to stand up and agree with Fang Jun's approach.

At this moment, the contest with the King of Yue and the forces behind it was put on the bright side.

"Since everyone thinks that a thorough investigation is necessary, Fang Jun, you are responsible for this matter. From now on, the title of King Yue will be temporarily revoked. If it is found that King Yue is innocent, I will compensate you. If King Yue is really rebellious, don't blame me for not reading it. 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 fiefdom of the King of Yue. Since the title was taken away, the fiefdom should naturally be returned to the court.

Prison escape, murder, raising private soldiers... King Yue's crimes were announced one after another, confirming his half-hearted guesses.

In one night, Shang Junyue turned from the proud son of the sky, the King of Yue, into a traitor, and everyone shouted and beat him.

"I didn't expect King Yue to be such a person behind his back. Unfortunately, I thought he was a gentle prince at the beginning. I was really blind."

"What king of Yue is no longer, but this person's character is really bad. It is said that he has provoked the daughters of several ministers at the same time, and he refused to admit it after being found out."

"It happened in the Yingxing Building. Many people saw it. They just didn't say it because of the reputation of those girls. Sure enough, no matter how you pretend, you will be exposed one day."

"Do you remember those remarks that smeared His Majesty before? It was also spread by King Yue."

"So, he has already plotted something wrong?"

"I don't even look at what kind of virtue I am. How can I compare my face with your majesty? It's just a person who has one thing on the outside and another on the back. Being a prince is just a good reincarnation."

For a while, King Yue's reputation among the people was extremely bad. On the contrary, Shang Junlin's reputation became even better, and the people believed that all the bad things in the past were deliberately fabricated by King Yue in order to discredit the emperor.

There are also many scholars who have written articles denouncing themselves for believing in rumors at the beginning, promising that they will have more judgment of their own in the future and will no longer follow others.

There was a new trend among scholars, and countless articles praising the current emperor appeared, which no one expected.

After Shen Yu heard about it, he jokingly said, "How does Your Majesty feel now?"

With his hands under his chin, he looked up at Shang Junlin with a smile in his eyes.

In addition to Minbao, the imperial court also ran a newspaper, which was co-organized with a bookstore under the name of Shen Yu. It was used to collect some folk anecdotes, accept contributions from the people of Dahuan, and also introduce some good-quality products, which sold very well. Cheap and very popular among the common people.

During this period of time, the most articles appeared in the newspapers, either berating Shang Junyue or praising Shang Junlin, the contrast was very sharp.

Shang Junlin was critiquing papers. Hearing this, he raised his other hand and squeezed his gloomy face: "Are you kidding me?"

Shaking his head gloomily, his eyes shone with light: "Where is it? I'm just happy for His Majesty."

Shang Junlin let go of his hand, stroked his cheek for a while, then pinched his chin, leaned over, and kissed his lips.

"It's all because of Ah Yu..."

The murmur disappeared from his lips.

The kiss gradually deepened.
