Chapter 22 Intimidation and Blackmail (Part 2) - Xu Jun as a Concubine (Part 1)
Princess Taiping said solemnly: "The matter is not as simple as you think. Last night, someone in the Magistrates' Court recognized that the big iron bow that assassinated you belonged to the three emperor brothers, and immediately reported it to that thief Wu Chengsi.
, it is estimated that he will report to the Queen Mother in the morning today, and instigate his traitors to encourage the Queen Mother to punish the three emperor brothers for treason. At this time when the succession of the emperor is in the limelight, he is most afraid that the Queen Mother will push the tide, then..."
Long Ying took an extra pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, stood up, and said vaguely: "When will the morning court be held? Where will it be?"
Princess Taiping worriedly said: "There is still half an hour before the morning court. In Wucheng Hall, do you know what you are doing?"
Long Ying said happily: "Of course it's clear. Wu Chengsi hasn't left home yet, where does this bastard live?"
Princess Taiping thought that the situation could not get worse. Maybe there would be a turn for the better by letting this guy wander around and mess around. She sighed: "His palace is the Liubei Palace not far from here in the southeast. It's raining so hard. I'll use a carriage."
Let me send you there! Remember not to hit anyone."
Following Princess Taiping's repeated instructions, Long Ying stepped out of the carriage and arrived at Liubei Palace in the rain. He gave his name and the guard guarding the door obviously knew who he was.
Report.
After a while, a man who looked like a soldier came out with a bad expression and said in a deep voice: "The young general asked the King of Wei for instructions. The King of Wei said that he has nothing to do with you, Long Ying, and does not want to establish friendship with you. In addition, he has important matters to deal with.
, I want you to get out immediately. This is what King Wei just said, and I ordered the young general to convey it to Lord Ying without changing a word."
Long Ying laughed dumbly and said: "Excuse me, brother, please tell King Wei again for me, and I will not change a word."
The soldier, who still did not reveal his identity, said: "This young general cannot obey my order."
Long Ying said: "If you refuse to pass on the message, it is not me but your master who will behead you. Tell him three things. They are Chu Yuantian, the big iron bow and the real evidence."
Then his eyes suddenly glowed with magic, he stared at the guard fiercely, and shouted: "Why don't you go in and report to King Wei?"
The soldier trembled when he saw him, and hurried away as if he was hypnotized.
The array that Wu Chengsi put out to receive Long Ying was indeed intimidating to many people. He was sitting on the nine-level jade step at the north end of the gorgeous hall. He had a red crown and yellow robe, and his facial features were fairly regular. He was in his thirties.
Because of his age, he deliberately thickened his eyebrows to hide his pale face caused by excessive drinking, and his eyes projected a sinister and ferocious look.
There were twenty to thirty people standing on each side, many of whom were obvious to be experts at a glance, including Chu Yuantian, who was in the first place. Zhang Jiafu, who had helped in the Bafang Pavilion last night, was opposite Chu Yuantian. Everyone was murderous and looked evil. They stared at the arrival.
The dragon eagle stood ten steps away from the steps.
Wu Chengsi stared at the uninvited guest, his eyes flashed with mocking light, and with a gesture, Zhang Jiafu, the leader on his right, said on his behalf: "The King of Wei still has to rush to the early morning court. Mr. Long will make a story short, don't waste King Wei's precious time."
Long Ying knew that if what he said was not threatening to him, he would immediately walk away to ridicule himself and said calmly: "The King of Wei made the mistake of letting Chu Yuantian show up before Long, who was recognized by Long at a glance that night.
The idiot assassin who shot an arrow at Long in the Divine Pond..."
Chu Yuantian interrupted him sharply: "Long Ying, don't even think about spitting blood on others. What real evidence do you have?"
Wu Chengsi's eyes flashed with a look of surprise and uncertainty, which further confirmed what Long Ying was thinking, that this son knew about the demon seed and Wu Zhao's determination to obtain the secret scroll at all costs, so he killed Long Ying in the hope that Wu
In anger, Zhao executed Luling King Li Xian.
Long Ying said proudly: "I have a set of skills. No matter how the other person covers his head and face, I will never forget it once I have seen it. Your Majesty knows better that I have this set of skills. As long as I tell you, I guarantee that she will believe it. If you don't believe it,
If so, I will pack up and go back to the countryside to plow the fields, and even if you kill me, you won’t treat me as a guest of the state. Ha! The King of Wei should know better than anyone else that if I am indirectly forced away by the King of Wei, the life of the King of Wei will never be easy in the future.”
Wu Chengsi said angrily: "How brave! How dare you speak arrogant words to threaten me, what kind of crime should I be punished for!"
Long Ying laughed and said: "At most, it is just a crime of deceiving the king, but what you committed is deceiving the king. If you are not convinced, we will go to the morning court together immediately and show it to the emperor and the ministers to handle it fairly. Let's see
Let’s see whose sin is more serious.”
Wu Chengsi's expression finally changed.
The masters on both sides were eager to make a move. They were only waiting for Wu Chengsi's order.
Long Ying calmed down and said: "You seem to have forgotten what the Holy One said last night. Anyone who dares to cause trouble to our guests because of Xue Huaiyi will be killed without mercy and the entire clan will be punished."
Zhang Jiafu said in a deep voice: "How does the current matter have anything to do with Xue Huaiyi?"
Long Ying's eyes were full of demonic energy, and he stared at Wu Chengsi and said: "Of course it does matter. I came here to do two things this time, one of which is to collect a bad debt, and the other is to pay back the ten taels of gold I owe.
, One is to follow me to see the Holy One and let the Holy One uphold justice for me. There is no way to reject this matter because there are at least hundreds of witnesses."
Wu Chengsi was frightened by his eyes, and because he had something in his heart and couldn't harden up, he asked, "What's the other thing?"
Long Ying said: "The other thing is to ask for cover money, plus ten taels of gold, and give it to me. However, the cover money has a time limit. If anyone dares to mention the assassination again, I will give it to me."
The matter is reported to the Holy One."
Chu Yuantian said with fire in his eyes: "Long Ying, you have gone too far to deceive others. You dare to offend and slander the King of Wei, and you have committed a capital crime. As long as you are killed on the spot, and then punished for attacking the King of Wei, even the Holy Spirit will not blame you."
King Wei." After saying this, he looked at Wu Chengsi and asked him for an order.
Wu Chengsi's eyes wandered wildly, hesitating and unable to make a decision.
Long Ying said happily: "Brother Chu turns out to be a brave and foolhardy man. The King of Wei used you wrongly. Otherwise, he would have lost ten taels of gold with one bet. I am Xue Huaiyi. If the siege by gathering a crowd can work, he would have been killed long ago."
If you die, how can you still come to the imperial city alive last night to embarrass yourself? And you are an idiot who doesn't know how to figure out the master's feelings. If you kill me openly, there will be no consequences. King Wei has already done so."
Then he shouted to Wu Chengsi: "My time is really precious. In one sentence, twenty taels of gold. Should you give it or not? I will turn around and go to see the Holy One. I will bear the consequences."
Wu Chengsi's face was as ugly as it could be.
The whole process of Long Ying's meeting with Wu Chengsi came to life. He told Princess Taiping in detail in the carriage with added salt and jealousy. He laughed so hard that the beauty leaned back and forth. She was so charming and wanton. It's no wonder that Long Ying hugged her waist tightly after boarding the carriage.
.
The princess smiled sweetly and said: "You are really not a human being. You have received ten taels of gold and you can't stop it. You want to extort ten more taels of gold. You are so greedy."
Long Ying smiled and said: "Greedy is indeed greedy, but it is a matter of great importance. Wu Chengsi is willing to pay the cover-up fee. If he tacitly admits that he planned the assassination, he will not only dare not mention it again in the future, but also have to go to the Senate
The people silenced them.”
The princess said: "Starting from today, Wu Chengsi will do everything possible to kill you. Alas! I really hope he does this so that this traitor can experience the power of the evil emperor."
Long Ying took a sweet sip on her face and said, "Is the princess in the mood now?"
The princess said: "Don't be so impatient. It's not difficult to get this palace. I have accepted the prince-in-law twice. When it comes to matters between men and women, I always go my own way and ignore other people's opinions. The Holy Father never cares about my affairs. But that kind of life
I'm not happy, and sometimes I really don't know how to make myself happy. But facing you, a pervert, can indeed put aside your worries. I will go to inquire about the situation in the morning, and after you have finished your work with the Lord, I will come here to receive you.
You go eat, drink and have fun."
Longying thought of Renya and whispered: "Not tonight!"
The princess said angrily: "What?"
When the carriage arrived outside the royal study, Long Ying said "See you tomorrow" and got out of the car before she got angry.
After the carriage left and the heavy rain turned into a drizzle, Longying said to Eunuch Rong, who was waiting outside the royal study: "Please, Eunuch, please try to find the deputy commander and tell him that the money raised has finally been settled."
Rong Gong said fairly: "It is a small man's honor to serve Lord Ying."
Long Ying looked at him in astonishment.
Eunuch Rong lowered his voice and said: "Master Ying killed the thief Tu Tu, which greatly pleased people's hearts. The thief Tu Tu always committed evil in the palace. Dozens of our servants were killed and injured by him, and Gong E was raped to death by him.
Countless of us, we are all relieved to learn that Lord Ying showed off his might last night and beheaded the thief Bald, but we did not celebrate like the people outside the palace by setting off firecrackers."
Long Ying thought to himself that it was impossible for him to become a famous person. He patted Eunuch Rong on the shoulder and entered the royal study.
Renya stood nearby sharpening his ink in a pretty way. When he saw Long Ying coming, he knelt down and saluted with joy, and then begged: "The Holy One will arrive at any time. Renya dare not sit down and polish his ink!"
Long Ying sat down when he arrived and said with a smile: "Don't blame me for being late, because I want to make money to support my Qiao Renya so that she can have enough food and clothing and a worry-free life."
Renya's expression darkened, and he said sadly: "Master Ying, please don't joke, okay? Renya has a poor life and no luck."
While Long Ying was writing quickly, he said in surprise: "How could Renya have such an idea? All it takes is a nod from the Holy One."
Ren Ya said: "The Holy One will never agree to your promise."
Long Ying smiled and said, "Why would Renya think so?"
The elegant man wants to speak but stops.
Long Ying patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Renya glanced at him with a passionate yet resentful look, and said softly: "The Holy Master sometimes looks at Renya very strangely, which makes Renya frightened. Then she said to herself, what will never let you leave that place again?
Such puzzling words.”
Long Ying thought that Wu Zhao was really unusual for Renya, and would rather offend Xue Huaiyi than send her away. Thinking of a rumor about Wu Zhao, his hair stood on end. But if Wu Zhao was really kind to Renya, he would be willing to offend Xue Huaiyi.
Promise yourself, but it is a matter of course.
He smiled and said: "The real situation is often unexpected, and the Holy Spirit will see it clearly when he arrives. The most important thing is whether people are willing to follow me?"
Renya showed off her girlish demeanor, gave him an angry look, and said nonchalantly: "Master Ying! Do you still have to ask?" () {Piaotian Literature www.ptwxz.com Thank you for your support, all book friends, your support is ours
