Outside Fengzhou City, Li Yi stood under the city wall and glanced upward.
On the towering city wall, the two characters "Fengzhou" are particularly majestic and majestic. It can be seen that it was written by a famous artist.
His eyes looked at the city gate again. After leaving this time, it was not certain whether he would come here again in the future.
He felt a little guilty about Lin Wanru. She had always taken good care of him and Miss Liu Er, but what she got in exchange was lies one after another. Although the lies were all well-intentioned, when she left,
, Li Yi still couldn't face her calmly.
After a while, he put all his thoughts back, turned around and looked into the distance, waved his hand and said softly.
"Set off……"
Less than half an hour later.
"Chase!"
In Fengzhou City, fast horses galloped out. A young man in front of him had a face full of excitement and said loudly: "Your Highness has an order. If you catch them, you will be rewarded heavily!"
On the official road, pedestrians and merchants took shelter one after another, and horses galloped, throwing up streaks of smoke and dust.
In Fanglin Garden, Lin Wanru slowly closed the book in her hand.
The description above is extremely detailed, and it lays out the path Fanglinyuan will take in the future. Although she still cannot understand some of the means and methods, she has had previous experiences, and she will not have the slightest idea about it in her heart.
Suspect.
If she follows this plan, in the end, she won't need to do most of the things in the store herself. She will only need to make some important decisions occasionally. At that time, she seemed to have a deeper control over the Lin family's industry than she does now.
If she had obtained such a thing two months ago, she would have regarded it as a treasure and attached great importance to it, but at this time, she could not arouse the slightest interest in it.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The tea was still red date and wolfberry tea, but it didn't taste like yesterday.
The sun was about to set, and the light gradually dimmed in the not-so-spacious room behind Fanglin Garden.
Lin Wanru looked at the teacup, her pretty face showed no expression, she just sat quietly.
I don't know how long it took before this silence was broken.
Lin Yong walked in from outside, knocked on the door gently, and said: "Miss, the steward of the Qian family is here..."
"I know, let him wait outside for a while."
Lin Wanru nodded and stood up slowly, her tone never fluctuating in a single sentence.
Lin Yong's eyes were a little dazed, and he felt that there seemed to be something different about the young lady at this moment.
…
Lao Fang jumped down from a carriage and said, "Uncle, don't be in a hurry when you go back. If you walk a little further, there will be a town. Let's take a rest here first. We can make it before dark."
Naturally, a team of more than a hundred people can't just swagger through the market with various weapons on their waists, at least in Qi State. The goods loaded on several carts are also real goods. This time they use glass.
I brought back a lot of good things from Qi, and I happened to take them with me when I went back.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Then let's take a rest first."
Lao Fang and the others came from Kyoto. They traveled almost non-stop day and night for a month. After arriving in Fengzhou, they didn't have a good rest. There was no need to be in such a hurry when they went back.
There seemed to be some grudge between the sloppy old man and the Taoist priest named Yuan. Normally, neither of them bothered to talk to each other. At this time, they were on their sides. The old man saw him take out a toffee from his arms and throw it in.
He smacked his lips and said, "Hey, old man Xu, give me one."
The sloppy old man glanced at him and said, "Not much more."
"Don't be so stingy."
"It's just this once, we won't do it next time." A candy flew over from a distance, Lao Fang peeled it open and threw it into his mouth, saying, "I brought so many people with me, I thought I was going to do something big this time, but I didn't expect it to be so big.
It’s easy to come back…”
"Want to do something big?" Li Yi looked back and said, "The opportunity has come."
Lao Fang turned his head and looked behind, with a stunned expression on his face.
At the same time, many people around stood up and looked in a certain direction.
All I could see was smoke and dust billowing in front of me, and occasionally there was the sound of horses neighing.
A young man on the horse urged: "Hurry up, they can't go far in the carriage, they should be right in front!"
Seeing what seemed to be a caravan ahead from a distance, the young man reined in his horse urgently and shouted: "People in front, stop!"
He turned over and dismounted, and after scanning the crowd, he waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, you go..."
Before he finished his sentence, his eyes suddenly stopped on the face of a woman in front of the crowd. After being stunned for a moment, he said happily: "It's them!"
"Catch them all!"
He waved his hand, and the hundreds of guards behind him immediately dismounted and surrounded the entire caravan.
Although the opponent seems to have a large number of people, these people are all carefully selected personal guards of His Highness King Heng. Even if they face several times the number of bandits, there is no need to be afraid or worry at all. The young man stood in front and shouted loudly
Said: "Where is Li Xuan, please get out of here!"
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden pain in the crook of his leg, and he fell to his knees involuntarily.
He raised his head and was about to curse when he saw the people inside had a smile on their faces that he couldn't understand.
What he didn't understand even more was, just by lowering his head, where did the swords and weapons in those people's hands come from...
"Everyone, hurry up, don't waste time." Lao Fang clenched his fists and was the first to walk outside.
Let the same number of experts from the Heavenly and Earthly Rankings and the Secret Intelligence Service deal with some so-called personal guards who are at best somewhat skilled. Even if there are a few of them who are really good, they will not be able to survive in the hands of these people.
It took too long.
Even the sloppy old man and the Taoist priest surnamed Yuan did not take action, but within a moment, among the hundreds of people, not even one person could still stand still.
The young man who was still kneeling on the ground had turned pale, his body was trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "I, we, we are the personal guards of the eldest prince. If you dare to do anything to us, you will definitely not be able to leave the Qi Dynasty."
country!"
"The eldest prince, bodyguard?"
Lao Fang pinched the joints in his hands until they crackled loudly and said, "Uncle, I have a bold idea..."
…
…
Zhao Yi walked out of Fengzhou Station and sighed slightly.
I originally planned to leave for the capital today, but now I have to postpone my trip.
Young Master Yang disappeared. One hundred of the eldest prince's bodyguards were stripped naked and tied up in a woods outside Fengzhou City. They were only discovered early this morning. One hundred people. Such a scene. He
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Although I had long expected that the people sent by the eldest prince would fail, I did not expect that it would be in this form.
The eldest prince's face has been humiliated a long time ago, and it doesn't matter if he is humiliated again, but if something like this happens within the boundaries of Fengzhou, he can't just pretend he didn't see it.
What's more, the missing young master of the Yang family can be regarded as a royal censor. Although it is only a temporary official position, it is difficult to explain to the Yang family...
Zhao Zheng walked out of it with a darkened face and said in a cold voice: "Who are you letting go? If you can't give me an explanation for this matter, you can give it to your father after you return to Beijing!"
As soon as Zhao Zheng finished speaking, an official hurried over and said loudly: "Your Highness, please report urgently to Bingzhou. Last night, several supervisory censors and hundreds of personal guards of His Highness King Heng entered Bingzhou and summoned Bingzhou officials to serve His Highness King Heng."
Order to carry out the law of silver for criminal offenses, order Bingzhou officials to confess their faults, pay for their crimes with silver, and leave Bingzhou at dawn with 600,000 taels of silver..."
"What nonsense!"
Zhao Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and the next moment his expression changed drastically, and he said coldly: "The supervisory censors are all at the inn, when did I, the king, give such an order!"
Because of the matter of "Yin Zui Yin", he has been at the forefront of the storm. There are countless public opinions and there are many voices of dissatisfaction with him in the court. The three words "Yin Zui Yin" cannot even be mentioned now. How could he do such a thing?
Stupid thing?
"According to the Bingzhou officials who just arrived, those people were holding the sign of Prince Heng's Mansion, and they did verify the identity of Yang Yushi..."
Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and immediately asked: "Is that censor named Yang Cong?"
The official responded: "Exactly."
Zhao Zheng stood there in a daze, feeling that his eyes were going dark and the world was spinning around him.
Seeing His Highness King Heng falling straight down, the official immediately stepped forward and said in panic: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
