Chapter 150: Sister Kang (Happy New Year's Day!)
"It's a big deal!"
This man is one of the managers of Kang's Mansion. He held a newly released Chang'an Feng in his hand and met Kang Donglai with a trembling voice: "Second Master, this book made by the Imperial College, the latest issue released today, publishes some... articles that slander Second Master!"
The manager turned to the page of Chang'an Xinbao, and handed it to Kang Donglai, with a frightened expression: "Second Master, please read it!"
Although Kang Donglai likes to dance with swords and guns on weekdays, he can serve in the Ministry of Works and is considered a person who is familiar with poetry and books. He immediately took the booklet after hearing this. After reading it for only two or three sentences, the second master Kang's face changed drastically. After reading it, his face turned black.
He held the inconspicuous booklet in his hand and shouted sternly: "Send someone immediately to smash those book-selling shops for me!"
The manager smiled bitterly and lowered his head and said, "Second Master, this thing started selling early in the morning. After someone bought it in the morning, it will be distributed for free in the East City. Now there are at least five or six thousand or even nearly ten thousand copies in Chang'an City. It is too late to cut off the source..."
Kang Donglai took a few deep breaths, barely calmed down, and then slowly said, "Is this thing made by the Imperial College?"
The manager nodded: "It is the Imperial College. However, a few days ago, the court issued an order and established a new editorial department in charge of the matter, which still belongs to the Imperial College."
"Imperial College..."
Kang Donglai gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Lin Yuanda!"
He waved his hand and shouted at the surrounding guests and beautiful girls: "Distance and get away!"
Although Kang Donglai had a low position, he was actually one of the most popular figures in Chang'an City. He had a very high status in Chang'an City. He got angry and everyone immediately dispersed like a frightened bird.
After everyone left, Kang Donglai turned around and returned to his inner room, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, drying the ink marks and sealing the mouth, he handed the letter to the manager beside him and said, "Try it to Shuofang as fast as possible!"
"Tell me brother, let him save my life!"
Kang Donglai knew very well that everything written in the booklet was true, and Lin Yuanda dared to expose these things because he had most of the key evidence.
Once these charges are confirmed, he Kang Lao Er will undoubtedly die!
The manager nodded repeatedly: "I understand little."
After the manager left to deliver the letter, Kang Donglai still felt uneasy. He immediately set off and returned to Chang'an City. After arriving at Kang's Mansion, he immediately asked someone to send a letter to the palace.
The content of the oral message is very simple, only a few words.
"I have something important to do, please see my sister!"
Kang Donglai had been in Chang'an City for so many years, so he naturally had the means of communicating with the palace. This letter was quickly passed to the ears of Concubine Kang of Chenghuan Palace through the mouth of a little eunuch.
After hearing the news, Concubine Kang frowned slightly. After hesitating for a while, she called the eunuch beside her and whispered: "Go, invite Eunuch Wei to Chenghuan Palace."
The little eunuch nodded immediately. Not long after, he found Wei Zhong and passed the words to the ears of the chief supervisor of the inner palace. Wei Zhong was serving the emperor in Tai Chi Palace. After hearing this, he nodded slowly: "I understand."
The little eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead and left carefully.
The emperor who was reading Taoist books in Tai Chi Palace did not raise his head and asked lightly: "Concubine Kang is looking for you?"
Wei Zhong knelt on the ground and respectfully said, "Your Majesty knows everything, he is truly a god."
"Where are any gods?"
The emperor smiled: "If she wants to leave the palace to see her brother, she can only tell me through you, just go by yourself, tell her that I promised her to leave the palace."
Wei Zhong nodded and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, the concubines must be approved by the Empress when leaving the palace. Should we inform the Empress about this?"
“No need.”
The emperor's face was calm: "This matter is not a matter in the harem, but a matter in the court. Let her go out of the palace. If she doesn't leave the palace, her younger brother might be taken to the execution ground in a few days."
The old eunuch Wei bowed respectfully.
"I understand."
After saying that, Wei Zhong bowed and left Tai Chi Palace.
After Wei Zhong left, the saint closed the Taoist scripture in his hand, closed his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Let me take a look at your abilities."
...
In Chenghuan Palace, Concubine Kang successfully got the token for leaving the palace from Wei Zhong. She immediately thanked her for a lot of gratitude. After a simple cleaning, she took a few eunuchs and palace maids and left the imperial city and came to Kang's mansion in Chang'an City.
When the Imperial Concubine went home to visit her relatives, the Kang family immediately knelt all over the ground, including Kang Donglai, the younger brother of Concubine Kang, also knelt on the ground, trembling.
The Kang brothers and sisters are actually not too old. Although Concubine Kang is the sister of the Kang brothers, she is only 33 years old this year. As for the Kang brothers, they are all around 30 years old.
This imperial concubine was born beautiful since childhood. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was selected to the palace in her teens. Over the years, not only did she not have a look, but she became more and more beautiful.
It is precisely because of this that she was favored in the harem for more than ten years.
But at this moment, the concubine, who looked like she was in her twenties, looked at her second brother who was kneeling in front of her and frowned and said, "What's wrong?"
Kang Donglai swallowed and gritted his teeth and said, "Sister, Lin Yuanda wants to kill me! The East Palace wants to kill me!"
Concubine Kang was shocked, reached out to pull her brother up, and whispered: "What do you mean?"
Kang Donglai got up, pulled his sister to his quiet room, then took out the already wrinkled Chang'an Feng from his sleeve and handed it to Concubine Kang. His voice trembled slightly: "Sister, look, this thing is made by the Imperial College and has spread throughout Chang'an City now. If these crimes are confirmed, I will die even if I have ten heads!"
Concubine Kang quickly finished reading the last part, then put down the booklet in her hand, and looked at Kang Donglai coldly: "You have done everything written in this book, right?"
Kang Donglai swallowed, lowered his head and said nothing.
Of course he did it, and if he didn't, he wouldn't panic like this.
Moreover, the evil he has done over the years has been far more than these, and the books are just part of it.
Kang Lao Er swallowed and said tremblingly: "Sister, I also obeyed your and your elder brother's instructions, gathered forces in Chang'an City and recruited talents..."
Concubine Kang glared at his brother fiercely and said angrily: "You can kill the imperial officials at the feet of the emperor?"
"Last year, you sent Cheng Jingzong to Yuezhou, which was a foolish move. I don't know what kind of brain it was, but actually asked the bandits to enter the city to kill Lin Yuanda. If you offend him like this, how could he not take revenge on you?"
"Your courage is getting bigger and bigger."
Concubine Kang spoke in a sharp tone: "At the end of time, you will be killed by you!"
Kang Donglai looked bitter and lowered his head, "Sister, now is not the time to hold people accountable. Save my life..."
Concubine Kang patted her undulating chest with her hand, and her anger subsided, and asked coldly: "Have you informed Dongping?"
"I have already sent a letter to my elder brother..."
"You will go and ask the Ministry of Works for leave tomorrow. Don't show up in front of others. This matter can be delayed for the time being, and wait for the response from Dongping."
Speaking of this, Concubine Kang looked at the booklet in her hand and frowned again.
"Look at this booklet again, who did it?"
Next chapter, let's go with the flow...
