Yanjing is very deserted at night, and the streets are deserted. There has been a curfew for many years in the Ming Dynasty, and the people have become accustomed to not going out at night.
Li Yu restrained his figure and quietly rushed towards the city, where was the house of Ma Shun, the commander of Jinyi Guards.
This house was very luxurious and belonged to a wealthy family. When Ma Shun was not yet prosperous, he worked in this house as a handyman. At that time, he probably received a lot of verbal ridicule and physical beatings.
When he got attached to Wang Zhen, and once he gained power, he randomly found an excuse to arrest this wealthy man, took over his house, and also took possession of his three daughters who had not left the court.
Wang Zhen was not from a good background, but he was very motivated and wanted to be a high official.
However, after taking the exam for several years, he failed and became a failed scholar.
This guy is really a ruthless person. When he saw that he couldn't pass the exam, he cut off the roots of his descendants and castrated himself before entering the palace.
With such a background, it is naturally impossible for him to have any trusted subordinates inherited from his family. He can only promote some people he knows.
Most of the people he knew were poor people like Ma Shun, so a large number of people, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
In the house, Ma Shun was not asleep yet. He was leaning on a soft couch. The room was as warm as spring because of the fire dragons in the wall. There were two dog-legged men around him who were serving him with flattering smiles.
"Master Ma, that iron cock still refuses to pay, brothers, do you want him to..." After saying this, one of his men made a gesture of killing the chicken and wiping his neck.
Ma Shun snorted coldly and said: "Doesn't that mean you're telling people that if you dare to die, you don't have to pay? Continue to torture me. You can use any iron brush to comb my flesh. Besides, don't just torture him. You can torture him."
Then bring the little boy to him, maybe he will give him a few blows. Once the little beast cries, the iron cock will not be able to hold on."
He held out his thumb and shouted, "How tall! If I hadn't said that you are the master, your courage and skills are beyond the reach of even a small flatterer."
Ma Shun was very proud, shaking his thigh and said: "You don't have to tell me, otherwise why did the prince promote me because I have the means to help him get through?"
There were two pops, and a bloody hole suddenly appeared in the chests of the two men.
The blood flowed out, and Ma Shun didn't notice it at all, but he smelled a fishy smell.
Suddenly, the two men fell down straight up, and Ma Shun jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
When Li Yu came, he had already surrounded the house with his spiritual consciousness. He originally planned to bribe Ma Shun, but now he regretted it.
There is no method that cannot be used to deal with such people. You say that the technique on the wordless jade is an evil method, because the Yulingtang uses it to harm people and turns countless people into their slaves.
But it is not an exaggeration at all to deal with such dirty and obscene creatures.
Li Yu didn't talk nonsense to him and cast the spell directly. Soon the panic in Ma Shun's eyes slowly disappeared and he became a little confused.
He looked dull and looked into the air. Li Yu didn't show up at all. He hid his figure, controlled Wang Zhen's thugs, and then disappeared into the night.
Jinling, Jia Mansion.
Li Yukong went south, because Zhu Biao's former body was buried on the east side of Xiaoling Mausoleum. Xiaoling Mausoleum is the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang. He really loved his eldest son, so of course he had to be buried together in the tomb.
This made the emperors of Zhu Di's line very embarrassed. You can't help but pay homage to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, right? Every time you pay homage, you have to see the tomb of Prince Yiwen...
If you want Zhu Biao to make a shining debut, you can only make a sudden appearance when everything is ready, on the day when the emperor comes to pay homage to the mausoleum.
This needs to be planned in Yanjing and then patiently wait for the day of the big festival.
In front of all the ministers in the world, Zhu Biao is alive, why don't you give up the throne?
The mausoleum of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty is right in front of you. The spirit of Taizu in heaven is watching with open eyes.
Even if the emperor is thick-skinned and refuses to give up his throne, that's okay. When you come out for the grand ceremony, Yanjing will also take action.
The noble gentry of Jinling would never have thought that there would be problems in the capital when the emperor came to their base camp.
Jinling is their home court, but Li Yu prefers to act at their home court because he expects that these wealthy gentry can only play tricks in secret, and real hard steel does not have this strength.
The only thing worth being wary of may be that piece of jade...
In a courtyard of Jia Mansion, the night is as cold as water.
In the corridor, a pretty figure sat on the floor, holding her knees with her hands, leaning against the stone railing, looking up at the cold moon in the night sky.
Her clothes were thin, and she only wore a black mink shawl on her shoulders. Her beautiful eyes were as blank as mist, and the faint moonlight shone on her body, making her skin feel cold like water.
She exhaled softly, then lowered her head and buried her face in her arms. Her shiny black hair fell from her shoulders and hung down to the cold stone steps.
Suddenly, a figure appeared and hugged her. Then his body lightened, and a pair of arms picked her up.
Although Pan Jinlian couldn't see the person coming, she pursed her lips with a very happy smile on her face, nestled her face on Li Yu's chest, and took a deep sniff.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of? I can smell you."
Li Yu laughed and looked out of the window. There was a gauze curtain hanging behind a brocade screen. On the corner of the couch, he could vaguely see Lin Daiyu hugging the brocade quilt and sleeping soundly. There were two maids in the outer room, one was Cong Lin. Among the snow geese brought by the family, one is a rhododendron from the Jia family.
Xue Yan is less than ten years old and has a childish air;
Zicuckoo's original name was Yingge, and she was a second-class little girl in Jia Mu's room. Seeing that Lin Daiyu came with only two people, Jia Mu was afraid that she would not be successful, so she gave Yingge to Daiyu and changed her name to Zicuckoo.
Li Yu did not alert them, flew to the roof, and held Pan Jinlian in his arms.
"Are you leaving this time?" Pan Jinlian had been sitting outside for an unknown amount of time, and her delicate body was completely cold. At this moment, she was hugged by Li Yu. She felt the heat on his body and hugged him tightly involuntarily.
"Let's go. We have to leave soon, but I will take you back after I finish things in Yanjing."
Li Yu's palms were warm and strong, and the fingers resting on her waist came with a hint of heat, and the chill gradually disappeared.
Pan Jinlian stopped talking. She enjoyed the rare tenderness. This was the first time she came to the roof of Jia's house. She saw densely packed courtyards, like beehives, which made people feel dizzy.
In each courtyard, almost all the lights were turned off, and there was not a trace of light. Only the courtyards of the ladies and gentlemen still had candles hanging high even at night.
"Lian'er doesn't like this place. It's lifeless. The people here are smiling but not smiling. No one knows what they are thinking. It's completely different from what they say. It's not half as good as a serious school." Pan Jinlian Said softly.
Li Yu smiled and said: "You can see clearly. This is a very glorious place, but they have deviated from their original intentions. The jade guardians...were corroded by the jade. They all look glamorous, but in fact they are a group of walking corpses. "
