Chapter 1720: Once you enter the Hou family, its as deep as the sea (44)
The old Duke's behavior seemed impulsive, but in fact it was after careful consideration.
He had a good plan. No matter what, Lan Ru must die today.
The fact that Wu Zhenfeng almost accidentally injured King Yi has been seen by too many people, but Jin Qing has become King Yi's savior, so he must kill Jin Qing as soon as possible.
The people who went to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to participate in the auction today are all our children. Although these people have high family status, they are also the best at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
The Huaiyin Marquis Mansion has been silent for too long, and there is no family that has good relations with them at all.
And what he has to do now is to send a signal to everyone before going against the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. He must first weigh whether the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is within their reach.
The old Duke believes that everyone is smart. The Duke's mansion is in the limelight right now, and there are some things that they will never tell anyone even if they know about them.
King Tao has lived a difficult life in Beijing for so many years, and he will not say a word. What he has to do now is to quickly get rid of Lan Ru.
As long as there is no Lan family left and he comes forward to appease King Xin, he can naturally tell the truth about this matter.
When the time comes, he will go to the palace in person to plead guilty, leaning on the dragon-headed cane given by the late emperor.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion controls 70% of the entire country's troops. Except for a few generals under Wei Zhanfeng, the border navy, and the guards who protect the capital directly under the emperor's management, almost the entire country's infantry is under the control of the Duke of Zhenguo.
under the control of the government.
I believe that the emperor would turn a blind eye to this matter and save face for his government.
What makes the old Duke strange is that if Lan Ru had always had such strong martial arts, then why was he still being slaughtered in the Duke's mansion and almost died.
Is it because Lan Ru still has feelings for his grandson Pinggui, or because Lan Ru has other plans for the government of another country, so he has been holding back?
Thinking of this, the old Duke's already drooped eyelids suddenly lifted up, and his eyes widened. "Follow me and go to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to seek justice." He gave up the title to his son just because he was old and was afraid of doing something wrong.
Decisions that are not conducive to the family do not allow children and grandchildren to be bullied.
Regardless of Lan Ru's purpose, her life ends today!
Moreover, what happened today was also a test for them against the emperor.
The Wu family has too much military power, and the emperor must have disliked them for a long time, but he has been holding back for various reasons.
Now that he openly led troops into the city to besiege the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, it was tantamount to taking the initiative to hand over a handle.
If the emperor is angry and punishes them to hand over part of their military power, it means that the Wu family can finally escape intact.
But if the emperor made other punishments to the Zhenguo government, he could also judge the emperor's thoughts in time and take precautions early.
Therefore, in the eyes of Laozhen Guogong, this incident was both a revenge and a game.
It's not a game between him and other aristocratic families? It's a game between him and the emperor.
And the most critical thing? Lan Ru must die. If other Lan family members dare to stop him? Don't blame him for being ruthless.
There was still an alley left for Prince Tan to return to his home, but at this moment, he and the steward's carriage were blocked.
Watching a group of soldiers wearing armor and carrying crossbows pushing two three-bow crossbow carts into the city? King Xi asked the steward dumbfounded, "What are you doing?"
The steward squinted at the patterns on the soldiers' armor, "These are the people under Duke Zhen Guo.
"
King Tao's tone was a little anxious, "I'm not asking who these people are? I just want to know what they want to do."
The housekeeper looked at the soldiers who were marching in unison and arrogantly, and sneered, "What else can be done? Of course, there must be a big move."
King Xi gritted his teeth, "Does the Zhenguo government want to rebel?"
The butler leaned against the wall of the carriage behind him, "Isn't that right? There are too few people? There are nearly 3,000 guards in the palace alone. These people should be going to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion." Wu Zhenfeng suffered such a big loss?
If Duke Zhen Guo can still sit still? He is not the one who commands an army of millions.
King Xin frowned, "But why did the guards at the city gate let them into the city?"
By this time, the last soldier had gone far and the road was open again. The steward sighed and drove the car significantly faster, "Because there are no more than three hundred of them!"
The Duke of Laozhen not only has the tiger talisman in his hand, but also a jade plaque given by the late emperor.
In order to better protect the safety of the imperial city, the Duke of Laozhen can use this jade plaque to mobilize 300 soldiers to temporarily bring weapons into the capital and guard them outside the imperial city.
King Tao nodded clearly at first, and then quickly discovered something was wrong. "It's broken, then my future wife is not very dangerous!" Since he has decided to propose marriage to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, Lan Ruyu is naturally his future wife.
??
The housekeeper rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty, we haven't gone to propose marriage yet. And after this incident, I don't know if Miss Lan will still be alive to wait for you to propose marriage."
King Xi was silent for a moment, then raised his legs to jump out of the car, "No, I have to go to my future wife's place to see if there is anything I can help with!"
The housekeeper quickly grabbed him and said, "Please stop for a moment!"
> King Tao's eyes widened, "Who is the master between us?" What does the quick message stop mean?
The butler realized that he had made a mistake and quickly took back his hand and apologized, "My lord, if you go now, you will definitely be accidentally injured. The sword has no eyes!" His prince is really a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
King Tao originally wanted to say something, but thinking of his embarrassing position, he finally shut up. He might as well live well!
Seeing that King Xin had stopped, the housekeeper moved faster and went straight to Prince Xin's palace.
In the palace, Ying Er had just squatted on a tree. Before the emperor summoned him, he saw a father-in-law hurriedly walked in and said something to the chief steward. After the father-in-law left, the chief steward quickly walked to the emperor and whispered in the ear.
A few sentences.
Later, Ying Er discovered that the emperor had smashed the inkstone at hand.
Xu was splashed by the fragments of the inkstone, and blood dripped down the emperor's hand on the table. Upon seeing this, the chief steward hurriedly asked someone to call the imperial doctor, while he himself knelt down to help the emperor stop the bleeding.
Ying Er originally thought that the emperor had encountered something terrible, but unexpectedly, before the imperial doctor came over, the emperor had already calmed down and continued to review the memorial as if nothing had happened.
The chief steward, on the other hand, knelt beside the emperor and waited on him silently.
After changing into the clothes of a cleaning boy in the mansion, King Tao sneaked out of the house. He didn't argue with the housekeeper just now because he didn't want to listen to the housekeeper's nagging.
Since I have decided to marry Second Miss Lan, and now that I know something is going on in the Lan Mansion, I have to go over and take a look.
If that's not possible, I might as well help collect the bodies.
Don't say he has a crow's mouth, he just lives a very practical life!
As soon as he sneaked into the alley near the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion and lay down, King Tao's mouth was covered by someone from behind. King Tao's eyes widened in fright!
