"I'm sorry, Miss Chen, you can't leave this courtyard."
After being stopped by the guard again, Chen Yin was no longer silent as before. She suddenly stared at the young man in front of her, and after a long time she said, "If I remember correctly, are you from the Wang family?"
There was a hint of surprise in the young man's eyes, and this expression had already answered Chen Yin's doubts.
Chen Yin said with a smile: "Don't be surprised. Over the years, I have been out on behalf of Mr. Chen, and I have to meet all kinds of people. Although you are a member of a separate family, isn't that why you were able to escape?
?”
She was indeed right. This person was one of the Wangs who had been uprooted by the Jin Yiwei in the past. However, it was not the main line, but a very remote branch. Thanks to the branch, he was able to survive the capsizing of the boat.
Escape in time.
I don't think it's strange to see Chen Yin, a member of the aristocratic family. To be honest, it would be really puzzling if I haven't met anyone from the aristocratic family at this point.
There are many people in the world today who have reason to oppose the emperor, but not many have the courage to do so. Those who can avoid the swords of the Jin Yiwei can only be from aristocratic families.
"It's hard for the eldest lady to still remember me."
The young man also showed a smile. His words were not meant to be sarcastic, but to state the fact that the hierarchy of the family was very strict, and it was already an amazing situation that the people who separated from the family could remember the master's pulse in their hearts.
"Since we are old friends, can you please tell me, Brother Wang, why you want to save me?"
Chen Yin didn't feel at all that a Chen family who was about to die was worthy of these people's actions. She knew herself, and she, the down-and-out young lady of the Chen family, didn't seem to have that kind of value.
After hearing this, the Wang young man just showed an embarrassed smile: "Miss Chen, how could someone like me know about this kind of thing?"
No matter before or now, he is indeed just a marginal figure, otherwise he would not be here after changing his appearance and still looking after the door.
Chen Yin actually didn't expect to know anything from the other person's mouth, but she came here every day to express her own attitude by asking questions.
After calming down these days, Chen Yin still couldn't figure out why these people tried so hard to rescue her from the clutches of the imperial guards in the capital.
To be honest, not only Chen Yin didn't understand this matter, but also the other aristocratic families hiding here didn't understand it.
"Why should we save Chen Yin? But Chen Yin has no hope of recovery. Is she worthy of our efforts?" A middle-aged man with a serious face asked in a deep voice.
Another white-haired old man beside him shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but this matter is that person's decision. I think it comes from her consideration."
Speaking of "that person", the middle-aged man's face immediately turned gloomy: "Uncle, I really don't understand. Even if our Wang family suffered a big setback, it was still the number one family in the world. Why are you willing to obey that person?"
The wild girl’s order?”
After being silent for a moment, the old man said: "Because we can't afford to gamble, the Wang family is no longer what it used to be, and the Jin Yiwei has eradicated all the forces that we can see on the surface. The small part left behind secretly is our last strength.
"
The middle-aged man said eagerly: "In this case, we should hold our trump card in the hands of our own people. How could my uncle pass such an important thing into other people's hands?"
The old man glanced at him and said with an indescribable indifference in his tone: "Do you think if you were to lead the Wang family, you could do a better job than her?"
The middle-aged man blushed, and then said forcefully: "If uncle is willing to help me with all his strength, I am confident that I will never lose to a woman!"
The old man's face was full of ridicule. He looked at the middle-aged man and said: "If this is the case, then when the Wang family was robbed, who was crying and shouting to go to the Jin Yiwei to ask for mercy?"
The middle-aged man finally had nothing to say. These embarrassing past events really made him unable to look back. He suppressed his embarrassment and bowed his hands to the old man before leaving.
...
When the emperor wielded the butcher's knife against the first aristocratic family, many members of the aristocratic family began to prepare for the rainy day. These people spent a great deal of money to establish an organization of sufficient weight outside the eyes of Jin Yiwei.
The core purpose of this alliance composed of the remnants of the old aristocratic families is to fight against the imperial court to the end. I dare not say that it will cause chaos, but at least let them regain their former glory and status.
But obviously not everyone is a arrogant fool. Many people can see clearly that it is never possible to force the court to make concessions just by hiding here and there like a mouse.
This shadowy family alliance needs a leader, a leader who has enough vision, ability, and status to overwhelm everyone.
What most people know is that the Wang clan members who escaped the disaster are secretly leading this organization. However, in fact, the person who really controls everything is a woman. She is young and not even from a noble family.
However, her methods and vision were recognized by others. After all, not everyone can play tricks under Jin Yiwei's nose.
But even so, it is not that easy to make the leaders of these high-minded families bow their heads. Therefore, of course, there are insiders who have been planted in this alliance earlier, such as this person who is regarded by the Wang family as the leader of the sky.
The decay of the pillars.
The Wang family elder avoided the outside observers and walked into an extremely luxurious courtyard with quick steps that were inconsistent with her age. Then she stretched out her hand and wiped it on her face. Under the human skin mask,
It is a clear and simple face.
"Girl, we have calmed those people down according to your instructions."
She knelt in the yard, bowed her head and said respectfully to the half-open door in front of her.
After a while, a lazy response came from the room——
"Okay, please step back."
"Yes." The man put on his mask again and left the yard quietly.
The person in the room waited until the other party left, then reopened the half-opened door. She stretched herself against the rising sun, and then muttered: "It's really troublesome."
If there is a Jin Yiwei here, he will definitely be able to guess her identity from the face that is somewhat similar to the "Crown Princess" in the cold palace——
In the past, the person who played most unruly by His Majesty's side was Shangluo.
Six years ago, when His Majesty ascended the throne, Shangluo was sent out of the capital by Meng Yuanli Yingwaihe. In private, this was another test of the emperor by Meng Yuan, who was already going crazy at that time.
Yu Gong, for the aristocratic family that had already noticed the rumor at that time, Meng Yuan planned to strike first and plan the opponent's escape route in advance.
That's why Shangluo was able to sneak into the old family alliance and successfully manipulate these people secretly.
However, something different from Meng Yuan's original thoughts is that now Shangluo has completely gotten rid of the influence of the former Jinyi Guard commander, and she has used all the backhands and connections left by the other party for her own use.
In a sense, Shangluo, who occupies the magpie's nest, really intends to fulfill the family's wish this time and compete with Jin Yiwei.
As for the meaning of saving Chen Yin that no one could understand, for Shangluo who made the decision - it actually had no meaning either. She just said hello to Jin Yiwei in the way she liked.
Although Ying Wushang, who was severely slapped in the face, may not like this method.
