sinking into sand

"His Royal Highness?" Seeing him, Yu Wangling smiled, "Why are you here?"

"I heard the commotion outside, so I came out to have a look." Xie Jingrong replied, "I heard that something happened at Pingchunfang at night?"

"Yes, but it's nothing serious." Yu Wangling reassured him: "Some nobles from Dingzhou who went south this time were frightened and came to seek refuge in the Jinzhan Pavilion. All arrangements have been made."

Xie Jingrong nodded after listening, and subconsciously looked at the door where the noise was.

"Why don't I go and have a look?" He said, "The people in Dingzhou, besides the one who went to Lanping this time, seem to be a bit difficult to deal with. May I help you to have a look?"

"No need." Yu Wangling's tone was gentle, but he still brushed his face directly. "The prince is still the most important thing now. It's better to go back to the room first."

Xie Jingrong didn't feel anything wrong with being brushed off, but smiled a little awkwardly, and said following Yu Wangling's words: "Yes, then I'll go back first."

Yu Wangling nodded, without waiting for Xie Jingrong to speak, he directly sent two people to escort him.Seeing them go far away, he continued on his own way.

His destination is Xiaozhuli in the middle of the lake.Wei Jian has been waiting for a long time.

He sat on the first floor of the small building in the middle of the lake, and four people were placed to watch him, not only to prevent him from escaping, but also to prevent him from tampering with the things here.

When Yu Wangling entered the room, a maid immediately came up to take off his robe.He had been walking outside for a long time, and the dew became heavier. He suddenly took off his clothes and felt a little chilly.Seeing this, Xiang Feibai sent someone to bring Mrs. Tang over.

Yu Wangling ignored these, he didn't look at Wei Jian, and went straight to his case and sat down.

After a while, a female envoy came forward to carry Mrs. Tang.Yu Wangling stretched out his hand to hold it, and after warming it for a while, a trace of blood appeared on his face.

Wei Jian had been watching since he came in, and couldn't help laughing when he saw this situation.

"It is rumored that the new owner of the Jinzhan Pavilion is weak and has an immortal appearance. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true."

That was frivolous and disrespectful.Yu Wangling hadn't said anything yet, but Xiang Feibai seemed to be stabbed to Nilin by the side.He stepped forward and kicked Wei Jian to the ground.

Wei Jian's leg was numb from sitting for a long time, and he kicked him from behind, without guarding against it, he fell directly.

He was so embarrassed that he was still smiling on his face, unaware of the humiliation, and said in a loud voice: "But I just said something, why are you so angry?"

Xiang Feibai was furious, and was about to do something more.But Yu Wangling stopped him.

"Don't let people see the joke." Yu Wangling held Mrs. Tang in his arms, expressionless on his face. "go out."

This was the first time he was willing to talk to Xiang Feibai tonight, but that was all he said.Xiang Feibai's inner annoyance turned into bitterness.It was not easy to show it in front of outsiders, so he nodded and retreated.

Apart from a few guarding disciples, only Yu Wangling and Xiang Feibai were left in the room.

Wei Jian propped himself up, sat up again, looked at Yu Wangling with inquiry in his eyes: "Aren't you going to deal with me?"

"If you have something to say, I'll give you a chance." Yu Wangling didn't even look at him, but lit an incense stick in front of his case.Group ^ seven * clothing ^ zero _ dance eight = eight! Dance < nine * zero.

Wei Jian was still joking in his heart, saying that not only was he physically weak like a woman, but he also looked like a woman in hobbies.

It's just that before he said this in detail, the smell of the incense came over, and he smelled it at the tip of his nose, and suddenly felt that his limbs had no strength.

Wei Jian: "...?!"

Yu Wangling knew from his expression that the incense had taken effect, Shi Shiran leaned back, leaned on the chair, looked at Wei Jian as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Wei Dutong." He lowered his head, didn't look at anyone, but slowly stroked his old lady Tang, and said slowly: "I might as well tell you something, including your city defense army, the Xiaowei of Prince Li's mansion and Xiaowei. The patrol battalion is under the control of the armored army. As for you people, I know that half of them have been dealt with today."

He said this kind of thing lightly, and Wei Jian was horrified when he heard it. If this was the case, what happened on Lanping earlier would be pretty much the same.

Prince Li's mansion has lost power, and the court is now cleaning up the remnants of the Lijiang River.

Yu Wangling gave him time to digest the news, so he raised his head leisurely, looked at Wei Jian, admired his astonished expression for a while, and then continued: "Wei Dutong, can you get rid of Ziwei's evil ghost?" The Dutong who has become the Lijiang River is not to say a smart person, at least he is a speculator. A speculator knows current affairs, and I hope there will be no more nonsense between us."

When he said this, his voice suddenly became terrified: "Ziwei's disconnection a few days ago, and even the mutiny in Pingchunfang tonight, is it Yu Shaomiao's handwriting?"

Outside the door, even though Xiang Feibai left the small building in the middle of the lake, he still remembered that Yu Wangling was weak. Although he had some means to get close to him, it was not safe.Then he waved his hand and beckoned his disciples to come over, and asked people to call more people to come over and guard.

It was just an ordinary thing, but the disciple looked embarrassed when he heard it, and replied: "Return to the manager, now the nobles are guarding the pavilion, and the inspection at the door and even the old pavilion master are guarding all the important military personnel and the guards with the iron armor. A group of soldiers patrolled and guarded the city gates in the Lijiang River. Because of the accident in Chunfang at night, another group of people was sent. Just now, a group of nobles who went south to Dingzhou to check or drive away were dispatched. Too many people."

Xiang Feibai was also calculating in his heart after hearing this series of events from him.After finishing talking, he asked: "Then what about the former troops of Prince Li's residence and the rest of the soldiers?"

The disciple replied: "Pavilion Master Yu issued an order that the soldiers and horses on the Li River were not allowed to move."

When Xiang Feibai heard this, he felt a faint headache and a sense of foreboding.

It's as if the accident in Pingchunfang and the chaos at the gate of Jinzhan Pavilion today were planned by someone.

Is it Yu Sha?But why did he do these things? Even if there was a commotion in Lijiang City, the gates of the city are now heavily guarded, and not a single fly can fly out.What is the use of him doing this?

If there was going to be a commotion inside Jinzhan Pavilion, who would take hostages to threaten Jinzhan Pavilion and the court.

Thinking of this, Xiang Feibai asked again: "How many people are guarding the Pavilion Master today?"

The disciple answered, twice as much as usual.

Xiang Feibai felt even more anxious when he heard the words. After thinking about it, he ordered: "The people at the gate can't move, keep the guards in the outer pavilion, and watch the nobles remove some to guard the small building in the middle of the lake."

The disciple heard the sound and went.

Inside the house, Wei Jiangang told the whole story about Yu Sha in the back alley post.

"... That's it. He wants us to kill people. After the matter is done, he promises to destroy Ziheche's records and the lives of Song and Zhu for us."

Yu Wangling couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Such childish words, and there is no proof, do you also listen?"

He leaned forward slightly and looked at Wei Jian: "Wei Dutong, you don't want me to believe that a gang of murderous and cautious ghost killers will kill so many people in the Lijiang River just by listening to a few lies. Aristocrats? There are many of them who have the same concerns as Wei Dutong, so they act so boldly? Are you not afraid of hurting your relatives?"

Wei Jian also had doubts in his heart at the moment. Although he was thinking differently from Yu Wangling, he was also very surprised. He didn't know what happened to make these evil spirits do what they said.

But he was more concerned with another matter.

"Now the owner of the pavilion knows the key to this place. Since Jinzhan Pavilion has the file of Ziheche, strangling all the ghosts will only take a lot of manpower. It's just that how to explain to the higher-ups still needs some evidence."

Yu Wangling carefully observed his expression, the fire in the room was brightly lit.When Wei Jian said this, he lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, a shadow was cast by the brow bone.

Yu Wangling has met many people in his life, but most of them are in high positions.People are treacherous, and most of them are driven by interests or rights. What they calculate is either huge wealth or tens of millions of lives. It is really rare to see such a person.

Stupid so direct.

He suddenly lost the ability to deal with this person again. The places and ambitions that this person can use are too straightforward and easy to guess, and it is really not worth spending any more effort.

"You don't have to worry, I'm not someone who crosses rivers and destroys bridges." He didn't even look at Wei Jian again: "Your wife... I remember that she also came from a prominent family. Stay in the Lijiang River for a few days. If there is anything to do, the Jinzhan Pavilion will pass it on to you again, and when things are settled here, then go north with your wife."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand. The disciple saw his movements and prepared to take Wei Jian down.

Wei Jian himself felt weak all over. Seeing the movements of those disciples, he somehow managed to find some remaining strength to struggle. Looking at Yu Wangling, he shouted, "You don't want to ask me?!"

Yu Wangling closed his eyes, obviously feeling that he was a little noisy.

"Wei Jian, do you think that as long as I have a little bit of possible news, everyone will take it seriously and use it to make a deal on the negotiating table? It's all so stupid, and you are still going to make up some nonsense, Come to ask me for an official position?"

He looked over again, his eyes full of contempt: "You deserve it too?"

After saying this, Yu Wangling ran out of patience and waved someone to take him down.

The door of the small building in the middle of the lake opened, and the disciples dragged Wei Jian out. Xiang Feibai looked at the expression on the man's face, and for some reason some weird thoughts came to his mind.

He should have left, but he re-entered the house after thinking about it.

Yu Wangling was sitting in front of the case with his eyes closed and meditating.He recognized Xiang Feibai's footsteps, but he still didn't want to open his eyes to look at him, so he was willing to talk: "Why are you still here, don't you have a lot of business to do?"

Xiang Feibai pondered for a moment, then said, "...Just now, I saw Wei Jian."

"This person is not worth mentioning." Yu Wangling withdrew his hand and interrupted Xiang Feibai's words: "It's just a dog who is trying to gain a job, and has nothing to do with Pingchunfang tonight."

Thinking of this, he said again: "What reply do the disciples sent to Pingchunfang have?"

Xiang Feibai pondered for a moment, then said: "The incident happened suddenly. The singing and dancing at Fenghuatai had stopped for the past few days, but I don't know who came to the stage to play music this evening. It was not a strange thing at first, but later this person played a pipa solo. There are still many noble people drinking for fun tonight. It happened when they were annoyed by the music and sent someone to arrest them."

Xiang Feibai told Yu Wangling one by one about the deaths and injuries in Pingchunfang tonight, and finally called Li Qihua's name.

Yu Wangling snapped his fingers, he was resting with his eyes closed, but woke up when he heard Li Qihua's name: "Isn't his dead body at Madam Lingyun's place?"

Xiang Feibai bowed his head: "I don't know, maybe it was intercepted by people in the dark alley when I came out, and I don't know."

Yu Wangling rubbed his fingers unconsciously, now that Prince Li's mansion has lost power, although Li Qihua is important, it is not that important.Whether Yu Sha threw his dead body in public was just to stimulate the Zihe Che evil spirit to act, or there were other considerations.

He thought about it, and suddenly felt a headache.It seemed to burst into pain, bursts of pain.

Seeing him like this, Xiang Feibai thought to himself that he was probably overtired from working day and night for the past few days, so he persuaded: "I have sent someone to take care of these things, why don't you rest for a few hours before talking about it. The old Pavilion Master and General Zhai Su are here."

Yu Wangling wanted to hold on, but the headache was so severe that it was impossible to ignore it.

He opened his mouth and was about to let go, but he glanced at the disciples on duty outside the small building in the middle of the lake.

"Why are there so many people?" He asked Xiang Feibai, "Did you call?"

Xiang Feibai was pointed out. I don't know why he paid attention to defense again at this time, and said, "Ah... yes, it said that half of the people in the small building in the middle of the lake fell tonight, so I transferred people."

Yu Wangling was suffering from a headache, and upon hearing this, he felt a stream of blood rushing towards Tianling Gai, so he couldn't control his temper, directly brushed the things on the table, and said angrily, "What's the matter with me at a time like this? !Where did you call the person?!"

Looking at his movement, Xiang Feibai knew that he must have done something wrong, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense, so he hurriedly replied: "The disciples on duty in the outer courtyard who were transferred are guarding those who came from Dingzhou tonight."

Yu Wangling was even more anxious when he heard the words, and immediately got up and was about to walk to the door.

He already had a headache, but he felt anxious again, and his eyes turned black after he took two steps.Seeing this, Xiang Feibai hurriedly stepped forward to support him, anxiously: "Why do you go when you're already like this, I'll go,"

Yu Wangling ignored him, but said in a cold voice, "Let go."

The two of them confronted each other for a moment in the small building in the middle of the lake, Xiang Feibai was finally defeated and said, "It's my fault...then I'll go with you."

He let go of his hand and followed Yu Wangling out of the room.
