Ren Yue is an experienced half-step master. Regardless of his strength, he has stayed at this level for a long enough time. Lin Su just met him a few days ago. The Duke of the country at that time was full of joy. Who would have thought that in just a few days, he would
It was such a scene.
The Duke was an important minister of the imperial court and a veteran of the three dynasties. Just the news of his death was enough to make people all over the world mourn.
Lin Su would not completely believe Zhou Yin's words, because he who was originally half-step to the top suddenly became the top for no reason at this time. This was the biggest doubt.
Many people from the court and martial arts came to express their condolences at Ren Yue's funeral. Ren Jiuzhong didn't arrive, and the Imperial Army's responsibilities were very heavy, so heavy that they couldn't even come back for his father's funeral. Ren Qi rushed back from the border,
The humble gentleman cried into tears.
"My condolences." Apart from this sentence, Lin Su had no other words to comfort him.
Before the funeral, everything was peaceful and harmonious. Ren Yue's descendants and grandnephews were all present. But after the funeral, when Lin Su visited the Duke's Mansion again, everything changed.
Ren Yue's other two sons made a big fuss over the Duke's mansion. Because Ren Jiuchong didn't come back from the funeral, they naturally excluded Ren Qi.
Among them, the most fiercely contested one is the gold medal bestowed by His Majesty.
The eldest brother, Ren Junhao, thinks that he is the eldest brother and the gold medal should belong to him. The second brother, Ren Feisha, thinks that the eldest brother has been away all the time and has not fulfilled his filial piety. He has been taking care of the old man all these years and the gold medal belongs to him.
"Second brother, how much has the old man's lifespan been shortened under your care, and you still have the nerve to mention the gold medal? Ren Feisha, I tell you, no way, the gold medal can only belong to me." Ren Junhao crossed his arms and gasped.
Ren Feisha hummed: "Brother, you have been sent away by the old man these years, and you may have forgotten the rules of the capital. The issue of succession to the Duke's Palace is not that who is older is eligible. If you continue to mess around, don't blame your brother.
Please ask the Ministry of Rites to discuss it for you."
Lin Su appeared silently at the Duke's Mansion and witnessed this scene with his own eyes. Immediately, he became angry. Ren Yue's body was still cold, and his descendants were quarreling for the gold medal in his hand. How could it be unbecoming?
"You have seen that when grandpa was still alive, they all hid far away in the Duke's Mansion, fearing that grandpa would catch him wrongly and punish him. Once grandpa passed away, they all jumped out to fight for this and that..." Ren Qi was disheartened.
Said coldly.
They thought that Ren Yue's death was too sudden, so they did not designate who would inherit the Duke's palace, and they did not make a will saying who would own the gold medal. So these people jumped out and thought that they should have a share of the gold medal.
Ren Jiuzhong was not here, and he took advantage of this moment to divide everything in the Duke's palace. It was a foregone conclusion. No matter how furious he was, he couldn't save anything. These guys had a good plan.
It is said that the people most qualified to inherit the great cause of the Duke's Palace are Ren Jiuchong and Ren Qi. However, because there is no will, all cats and dogs think that they are qualified, and even relatives separated by several generations want to get a share of the pie.
"Need help?" Lin Su asked.
Ren Qi shook his head, "No need, the dispute in the Duke's Mansion arises over property, and I don't want to get involved. Fighting for power is not my wish."
Lin Su heard Ren Qi's dismay towards the capital in his words, so he asked, "What are your plans?"
Ren Qidao: "Wander the ends of the earth with a sword."
After talking for a long time, Lin Su did not give any other suggestions for what Ren Qi had already decided. With his reputation, maybe it would be a good idea to travel to the end of the world with a sword.
In the past, Lin Su had such a plan, but the journey was too difficult and there were too many trivial matters, which caused a lot of delays. If it weren't for his worries, Lin Su would be happy to be like Ren Qi, let go of the worries and practice the way of a knight.
.
Lin Su entered the palace with a stern face. He had no intention of letting go of the Ren family members who were taking advantage of the situation. He told Zhou Yin about the matter in order to seek justice for the Duke's government.
"You bastards." After hearing this, Zhou Yin angrily threw the jasper Kowloon cup and shouted: "Greedy and ignorant people, Ren Guogong just passed away, how dare they do this."
"Come here, go to the Duke's Mansion immediately to retrieve the gold medal bestowed by the emperor, and give orders to Ren Junhao and Ren Feisha. All major and minor matters in the Duke's Mansion will be handed over to Ren Jiuchong, who will be the seventh hereditary Marquis with the title of Zhongyi."
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to resolve family affairs, but there is one person who can shut up all parties. No matter how complicated the situation in the Duke's Mansion is, all the problems can be solved with just an imperial edict from His Majesty.
Zhou Yin has been sitting in that position for many years, and he knows how to balance the opinions of all parties. If he just takes back the imperial gold medal, the people will think that His Majesty is afraid of the Duke's government, so he took the imperial gold medal and ordered to issue an order to the Ren family brothers and put the two
The evidence of the crime of unfilial piety is made public, which means that I am not ungrateful, it is just the nonsense of the brothers of the Ren family.
The affairs of the Duke's Mansion were handed over to Ren Jiuchong, which meant that everything in the Duke's Mansion was taken over by Ren Jiuchong, and no one else was qualified to touch it. He also issued an order to confer Ren Qi as a Marquis. This was a reward, or it could be said to be a deal.
There are many details worth pondering in awarding Ren Qi instead of Ren Jiu.
In a few days, the affairs of Ren Junhao and Ren Feisha became known to the whole world. The emperor issued an imperial edict and made the two of them lose face. They were like rats crossing the street, and they were even embarrassed.
As soon as he was awarded the title of Marquis of Zhongyi, Ren Qi left the capital, a place full of chaos.
Not long after leaving the capital, news came out that Zhou Yinchan abdicated the throne, and Prince Zhou Keke succeeded to the throne.
…
Half a year later.
A smoky forest in Cangzhou.
"Tigers and leopards are hidden deep in the mountains, and unicorns are buried in the fields. Sometimes if you don't take a serious look, you really won't find the most famous tourist attraction in the world. In fact, it is not as good as an uninhabited forest." Luo Qiangwei gently rubbed Lin Su's hair.
Wiping sweat, he said.
Lin Su smiled and said, "That's not bad. However, you need to keep your voice down. If you provoke that big guy in the forest, the two of us may suffer some more."
Half a year ago, Lin Su met Ancestor Zhou and resigned due to his low strength. The condition was that he would travel around the world to find the entrance to the Demon Cave that no one had discovered for the royal family. Only then did Ancestor Zhou let him leave.
In the first three months, Lin Su reported to the royal family a well-established entrance to the Demon Cave that no one noticed, and personally killed the monsters that escaped from the Demon Cave, making Patriarch Zhou trust him more.
Luo Qiangwei asked: "In addition to looking for the devil's cave, you seem to be teasing all kinds of strange beasts. Do you have other ideas?"
Lin Su smiled and said: "Do you have any ideas to rate the alien beasts in the world? You have to know that although the alien beasts have low intelligence, their strength is comparable to that of many monsters. Let's give the world a warning."
Luo Qiangwei glanced at it and said, "I always feel that things are not that simple. Are you hiding it from me again?"
Of course, what Lin Su thought was not that simple. Although Liuchen Pavilion had a high reputation in Liangzhou, it was still unknown to the world, so Lin Su planned to use a strong medicine to make everyone in the world know him.
Liuchen Pavilion, what he did is just a prelude to becoming famous in the world, the real big deal is yet to come.
He said: "Senior Tie Ying has reached the top of his game, right?"
Luo Qiangwei pinched Lin Su's waist hard and said, "Changing the topic again. Senior Tie Ying has the help of your Xuan Ming Demon Clearing Pill, plus he has half-a-level strength, how can he not break through?"
