After listening to the explanation from the Tianyan staff, Tang Yin nodded and asked again: "What did Mr. Jiang do during his time in Beijing?" "Drinking and eating!" The young man answered truthfully: "Mr. Jiang talks to Mr. Jiang almost every day.
The ministers in the court are eating and drinking." "Oh!" Tang Yin chuckled and said, "If you put it like that, it would be quite hard for Mr. Jiang to go to Beijing." "Yes, yes, yes!" The young man did not dare to express his position.
, just nodded vigorously, but he silently added in his heart: If returning home drunk every day can be called hard work, then Jiang Lu must have worked extremely hard.
Guided by the Tianyan personnel, Tang Yin went up to the third floor and stopped in front of the door of an upper room. The young man whispered: "Sir, Master Jiang lives in this room." Tang Yin responded and gently pushed down the room.
The door, the door immediately slid open, and there was no lock inside. Tang Yin paused for a moment, then pushed the door open. As soon as he entered the room, he was greeted by the strong smell of alcohol, which stung his nose. Lotte and Jiang Fan secretly frowned.
, followed Tang Yin and walked closer.
Those who didn't see Jiang Lu heard his heavy snoring first. Tang Yin walked slowly towards the end of the room, walked around the screen, and looked up. He saw Jiang Lu without even taking off his clothes, with his limbs spread out, lying on the bed.
As he was sleeping with his head covered, Tang Yin walked up to him and called out in a low voice: "Jiang Lu? Jiang Lu?" He called twice, but Jiang Lu had no response. Tang Yin had no choice but to increase his volume and call again: "Jiang Lu? Jiang Lu?"
"Lord Jiang Lu Jiang!" Jiang Lu seemed to be sincerely opposing Tang Yin. No matter how he shouted, he had no response.
Seeing this, Letian hurried forward and pushed Jiang Lu hard. Seeing that he was sleeping like a dead pig and unconscious, he reached out and pinched Jiang Lu's nose, and then closed his mouth with a slight force.
After a short time, Jiang Lu couldn't breathe. He made two gurgling sounds in his throat. He couldn't swallow a mouthful of spit and choked it in his throat. He began to cough violently. With this cough, he also woke up and wanted to breathe.
He wanted to open his mouth, but it was tightly held tightly. At this time, Jiang Lu woke up completely. He opened his eyes and subconsciously turned over from the bed and sat up. He was shocked and
"Who dares to plot against me?" He asked horrifiedly. As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yin, who was standing in front of the bed, put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, and said slowly: "Master Jiang, I'm not here to plot against you.
I'm here to visit you!" Hearing the words, Jiang Lu trembled and raised his eyes to look at Tang Yin. After seeing Tang Yin's appearance clearly, he seemed not to believe his eyes, so he rubbed them hard and looked at Tang Yin again. This time
He was 100% sure that he was not dazzled. He was still a little drunk but was frightened to death in an instant. He rolled directly from the bed to the ground like a rubber ball, knelt on the ground and screamed anxiously.
He shouted: "No... I didn't know that your Excellency was coming, and I missed you from afar, but... I hope you won't be offended!" Tang Yin looked at Jiang Lu with a smile, and said softly: "Jiang Lu?" "Xiaoguan is here.
!" "Get up!" As he spoke, Tang Yin walked to the window, waved his hand and pushed the window open to allow the air in the room to circulate. Then he took a deep breath of fresh air from the window, turned back, suppressed his smile, and looked at Jiang Lu.
Asked: "Jiang Lu, how are you doing with the things I told you?" Jiang Lu knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up immediately. He lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and said quietly: "Since I arrived in the capital, I have been
The purpose of making friends and getting closer to the ministers in the court is to recommend you to them..." Before he could finish his words, Tang Yin impatiently waved his hand to interrupt him. What he wanted to hear.
It's not these meaningless processes, but to know the results. He raised his head and said: "Let's get straight to the point!" "Oh..." Jiang Lu groaned and said cautiously: "Through the discussions between me and many ministers over the past few days,
I have contacted you and said a lot of good things for you, but if you want those imperial ministers to support you, there is still... something missing." Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked: "What is missing?" "Gold."
Jiang Lu swallowed hard and spit.
Tang Yin's face sank at first, then he smiled again, and asked with a smile: "Jiang Lu, when you left Yancheng, you brought a lot of gold and treasures with you, right?" "Yes, sir!" Jiang Lu's face showed.
Sweating in cold sweat, he said tremblingly: "Twenty thousand taels of gold and fifteen treasures." "Where are the things?" "All the gold has been spent and all the treasures have been given away, but... the effect is very little." "If I didn't.
If you remember wrongly, I later gave you nearly ten thousand taels of gold." Tang Yin said quietly.
"Yes, but...but all that gold has been spent! My lord, the price of going to Beijing is too expensive, and you have to invite the ministers to eat, so you can only go to the best restaurant in the capital, and you have to invite geishas, maikos, etc.
Wait, every time the expenses are calculated, it is not a small amount, so...gold is spent very quickly..." Tang Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he laughed angrily, and he said quietly: "It takes so much money.
There is so much gold, but there is no progress. Mr. Jiang, I have to wonder if you have done anything for me, or are you using my gold to line your own pockets?" Hearing this, Jiang Lu trembled with fright, and her bones
He felt weak and almost collapsed on the ground. He kept shouting: "It's wrong, it's wrong! Sir! No matter how brave I am, I would not dare to deceive you, let alone use your money to enrich myself..." Tang Yin
I still wanted to speak, but my brows suddenly furrowed. I tilted my head and remained silent for a moment. Then I turned around and walked up to Lotte. I stretched out my hand and reached into Lotte's waist. Then I pulled out the sword hidden in my clothes. The conversation changed.
, his tone became soft and cold, and he said: "Some people think that they act covertly and without leaving any trace, but there are airtight walls in the world. If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself!" As he spoke, Tang Yin's palm
Thick black mist emitted, covering the steel sword, and immediately merged into one, and the sword's shimmering cold light also turned into jet black.
At this time, even a blind man could see that Tang Yin was already full of vitality, and the murderous energy emanating from his body made the air in the whole room freeze, giving people a suffocating feeling.
Jiang Lu looked at the spiritual sword in Tang Yin's hand, and when he heard what he said, he was so frightened that three of his souls and seven souls flew out of his body. His nose and tears flowed down, and he wailed in a trembling voice: "My lord, I don't have this official."
I'm really not lying to you..." Before he could finish his words, Tang Yin's face turned completely gloomy, and the murderous intent on his body became even stronger. Without any warning, he shook his arm and the spiritual sword in his palm came out.
It's just that his spiritual sword didn't stab Jiang Lu in front of him, but the wall behind him.
There was a muffled sound in the ear, and the spirit sword pierced the wall, directly piercing it. At the same time, a short and slight scream came from outside the wall.
This scream shocked Letian and Jiang Fan. They were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately realized that someone was eavesdropping outside the room. They jumped to the window sill in unison and looked up.
Looking around.
The room was on the third floor, and it was completely suspended outside. When the two of them went up to the window sill and looked around, there was not even half a figure outside, and they could only see a large tip of the steel sword that had pierced the wall.
Lotte's sharp eyes did not ignore the drop of blood falling from the tip of the sword. He stretched out his fingers to catch the blood drop, wiped it slightly, and then put it under his nose and smelled it carefully to confirm that it was human blood. Only then did he
Returning to the room, he raised his hands to Tang Yin and said, "Sir, the eavesdropper outside the room has been injured and ran away!" "Run away?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did he run away?" "I didn't see it, outside.
There is not even a shadow of a person in the garden downstairs!" At this time, Jiang Fan also jumped down from the window sill and said to Tang Yin.
The expression on Tang Yin's face did not change, but he took a deep breath in his heart. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said faintly: "No matter how deep the opponent's cultivation is or how fast he runs, even if he is not injured, he cannot survive."
There is only one explanation for disappearing in such a short period of time..." "The other party is a dark spiritual cultivator!" Letian and Jiang Fan opened their eyes wide with shock and said in unison. In addition to the shadow drift ability of the dark spiritual martial arts
Instantly flashing out of their sight, the two of them could no longer think of anything else that could allow someone to do this.
That's right, only the dark type spiritual cultivator can do it. The dark type spiritual cultivator will not come to him for no reason. It seems that this matter must have something to do with that iron plate. Tang Yin
Thinking of this aspect, Letian and Jiang Fan also thought of it, but they were not as calm and determined as Tang Yin. They both said in shock at the same time: "Sir, could it be..." Tang Yin raised his hand and hit
After the two of them stopped talking, he said calmly: "I know." Jiang Lu, who was still kneeling on the ground, was dumbfounded. He thought he was dead this time, but he didn't know that Tang Yin's sword was not directed at him.
The words just now were not directed at him, they were all a false alarm. "Sir... what is going on outside... what is going on here?" Tang Yin turned around, looked at Jiang Lu, and said with a smile: "
Jiang Lu, please get up!" "Ah, yes, yes, sir!" Jiang Lu pinched her sleeves, wiped the sweat from her face, and struggled for a long time before she managed to stand up from the ground.
Tang Yin looked around at everyone and said seriously: "It seems that trouble has come to the door. We can't stay in Shangjing for a long time. The sooner we leave, the better." Letian and Jiang Fan, who knew the stakes involved, nodded hurriedly and responded: "What your Excellency said is absolutely true.
!" Jiang Lu didn't understand what was going on, but she could feel that a spiritual martial arts master was eyeing her, and might even be plotting against Tang Yin.
At this time, Tang Yin asked him: "Jiang Lu, according to your estimate, how much gold would it cost to bribe an important minister?"
