(Thank you very much to ‘Local Muge’ for your generous support of 5,000 coins.)
Having said this, Xu Jingzong paused, hesitated, and continued: "If the Duke takes action against Wang Junlin at this time, no matter how beautifully the thing is done, even if there is no evidence that it is the Duke, these few
Because of this, I will be more or less at odds with the state. Therefore, I believe that after this period of time has passed, especially when Wang Junlin has another conflict with others, it is best for the state to take action again."
Yang Su nodded and said nothing. Xu Jingzong was smart, and his eyes were good, but he didn't have enough grasp of people's hearts. The reasons Xu Jingzong said were true, and he did have concerns. But the problem was based on his
identity, if there is no reasonable reason not to take action against Wang Junlin for the time being, the world will think that he is afraid of Wang Junlin.
When they live at their age and status, sometimes face is more important than anything else. Qiu Rui initially enmity with Wang Junlin was actually due to face issues. Qiu Rui didn't know whether a concubine's family was alive or dead.
He didn't care at all. All he cared about was that if he didn't take revenge and go back, others would say that he was afraid of Wang Junlin. As a result, the following things happened, and the accumulation of developments over and over again made the two sides now in the same situation.
, even to the point of life and death.
Therefore, the saying "a person's face is alive, and a tree's bark is alive" is not said casually.
Another staff member named Zhou Tianyou rolled his eyes, glanced at Yang Su carefully, and said: "My lord! I just got the news that Wang Junlin has been named the supervisory censor by your majesty. Although this position is not high,
But it represents the Yushitai. No matter who it is, in the position of the Duke, it is not suitable to take action against a supervisory censor at this juncture."
After hearing this, Yang Su nodded sincerely, and the look of satisfaction on his face had already been seen by other staff members. At this time, they still didn't understand what Yang Su meant, and they all expressed their agreement with Zhou Tianyou's words, and changed their words.
Son, they said what Zhou Tianyou said again. They all said that they would spread the reason tomorrow. Absolutely no one would say that the Duke was afraid of Wang Junlin's poisonous warrior.

"Master Hou, Zheng Guangan's case has fallen into the hands of a humble official. According to the plan, he has made an appointment with Sun Yangfeng, the eldest son of the Duke of Yue, and Yang Xiong, the second son, to have a banquet at the Universiade Restaurant at 1:00 this afternoon.
The private room he booked happened to be next door to the private room Qiu Fu and Yu Wenjin had booked." Within three days, Shen Guang tricked Zheng Guang'an into owing him fifty thousand taels of silver, and also mortgaged his mansion.
"You did a good job, but to be on the safe side, let Zheng Guangan swallow this poison pill beforehand. Only in this way can we be completely sure." Wang Junlin pondered for a moment, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, and drank it from
A black pill was poured out and handed to Shen Guang.
Shen Guang took it with both hands, carefully put away the poison pill, and asked after a moment of hesitation: "Master Marquis, the effect of this poison pill... and the antidote?"
Wang Junlin smiled slightly and said: "Nothing will happen within twelve hours. If you do not take the antidote for more than twelve hours, your whole body will be itchy and you will have diarrhea. But as long as you clean up the diarrhea in your stomach and intestines, you will be fine."
Shen Guang chuckled and said, "Master Marquis is kind and humble, I understand."
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "It's not that I'm merciful, but that this poison pill has other more important uses. Besides, whether it's the Changping Palace, the Duke of Yue, or the He Ruo family, even if it's found out, The truth of the matter is useless."
Shen Guang took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Master Hou, do you have other plans?"
Wang Junlin said a little enigmatically: "Yang Feng and Qiu Fu are both stable people. If you want them to fight, naturally we need other arrangements."

Dayun Restaurant is a place where dignitaries in the capital often come to dine. It is also one of the largest restaurants on Beifang Main Street and is quite famous in the capital.
The wine shop has a total of three floors. The first and second floors are the lobby and ordinary single rooms. It is almost dinner time, and the business is very busy. The lobby on the first and second floors is full of diners, and there is a lot of noise.
The third floor is the guest rooms, which are all private rooms and private rooms, but they are very quiet. In addition to the main entrance, there is a special staircase next to the main door that can also go up directly. The decoration is luxurious and the price is very expensive. Not counting meals, it only costs one room. Every hour costs one hundred coins, so those who dine here are either rich or noble.
The guest rooms on the third floor are separated by a corridor. There are two elegant rooms on the left and right, both of which are very elegantly decorated. The private rooms assigned by Qiu Fu and Zheng Guangan happened to be the two rooms immediately to the left, which were called Chunfeng Hall and Deyi. Pavilion.
The interior of Chunfeng Hall is magnificently decorated, with Persian carpets from the Western Regions, fine golden nanmu couches, white jade screens, gold bowls and silver chopsticks, gorgeous Sichuan brocade hanging on the windows, and four beautiful wine companions. maid.
At this time, Zheng Guang'an, who looked depressed, had already sat down in the Chun Nei Hall. Shen Guang had just forced him to take a poison pill, which completely dispelled his chance of making a small trick when meeting the Yang brothers.
"Don't be nervous. Look, behave and speak as usual. If Yang Feng and Yang Xiong notice something in advance because of your abnormal behavior, don't blame me for telling the 50,000 taels of silver you owe and other scandals. Of course it will be solved." I won't give you any more medicine." Shen Guang, dressed as Zheng Guang'an's guard, walked in and whispered in people's ears.
When Zheng Guang'an heard this, he couldn't help but panic. His life and fortune were at stake, and he had to work hard to do this. With a slight cough, the depression and gloominess on his face gradually disappeared, and he returned to his normal appearance. .
Shen Guang returned to the door with his head lowered and continued to stand without speaking.
Not long after, brothers Yang Feng and Yang Xiong arrived with four guards. Without looking at Shen Guang, who bowed his head and clasped his fists to salute them at the door, they directly opened the door of Chunfeng Hall and walked in. As usual, Shen Guang He took the four guards of the Yang family downstairs to have dinner.
"Guang'an, why did you suddenly invite our brothers to dinner today?" Yang Feng asked casually after the three of them greeted each other.
Zheng Guang'an said with a wry smile: "To be honest with you two brothers, Su Su and I have been at odds recently. The two brothers have always been close to Su Su. Today's banquet is to let the two brothers go back and help the younger brother and Su Su. Let me tell you privately, don’t be so tight on your little brother!”
When Yang Feng and Yang Xiong heard this, there was a hint of ridicule on their faces. The former said: "Guang'an! I'm not talking about you because of my brother. My sister has always been gentle. If he takes care of you, it must be you." pass……"
At this time, Qiu Fu and He Ruojin went upstairs together and entered the Deyi Pavilion next to it. Compared with Chunfeng Hall, Deyi Pavilion was quiet and elegant in style. There were no rich and gorgeous decorations. There were only two couches and a screen.
There is also a small table by the window, with a fine guqin placed on the table, and the walls are covered with famous calligraphy and paintings. It is a good place for poets and elegant scholars to drink and chat.
Qiu Fu and He Ruojin entered the room, and two maids took off their outer robes for them. After Qiu Fu ordered the wine and food, he waved the four maids away.
At this time, a humble waiter came up from downstairs, carrying two soothing incense burners, with green smoke curling up and sandalwood incense filling the air. He opened the door and placed one in Chunfeng Hall and Deyi Pavilion.
During this process, none of the noble men in the two private rooms looked at the waiter. They just felt that the service of the Dayun Restaurant was getting better and better. You must know that each stick of sandalwood used to soothe the nerves costs ten dollars.
Hang money.
But as the two elegant rooms mingled with each other, apart from Zheng Guangan who took the poison pill in advance, whether it was Yang Feng and Yang Xiong in Chunfeng Hall, or Qiu Fu and He Ruojin in Deyi Pavilion, they all seemed to be
They get drunk more easily than before, and their self-control ability seems to be much worse than before. For example, their voices are getting louder and louder.
The sound insulation between the two private rooms in Dayun Building is actually pretty good, but when the voices on both sides get louder and louder, the voices next door can be clearly heard.
But when the voices of Yang Feng and Yang Xiong became louder and louder, Zheng Guangan suddenly hissed and signaled Yang Feng and Yang Xiong, who were feeling dizzy and hallucinating before their eyes, to stop talking and listen quietly.
Next door conversation.
"Hahaha...Brother Qiu, the lease guy from that restaurant in Beicheng is not polite."
"You're welcome, little brother He Ruo. I'm asking for your help this time, so Wang Junlin's poisonous husband clashed with the Duke of Yue and formed a deadly feud. And that restaurant in Beicheng was originally the reward our Qiu family promised to little brother He Ruo.
.”
"Brother Qiu, I also feel that I have done a good job in this matter. You said that Yang Rong is really a fool. After a little clever guidance from me, he had a conflict with that poisonous man Yang Junlin at the gate of the city. Let Wang Junlin that little
Not only did the thief have a grudge against the Duke of Yue, but he also had one of his hands chopped off by Wang Junlin in front of his house. He is such a fool, and I used to call him brother and sister. I feel so embarrassed!"
"Alas! It's just a pity that the old thief Yang Su is extremely cunning. Instead of getting rid of Wang Junlin, he allowed this little thief to cause my father to lose his official position..."
Under normal circumstances, Qiu Fu and He Ruojin would not say these words out loud. Even if they spoke, they would lower their voices. But today, they themselves did not notice how loud they spoke. Zheng Guangan and Yang Xiong next door
He and Yang Feng could hear it clearly. After hearing this, the two Yang brothers' eyes gradually turned red and their faces looked crazy. Each of them suddenly stood up with a stool and pushed the door open and rushed out.
Zheng Guang'an stood up and did not follow him. He had a vague feeling that something was wrong. It was okay that Yang Xiong had a bad temper. Yang Feng should never be so impulsive. Moreover, the two people next door said such secret words, why were they so loud?
.
Also, I don't feel anything at all right now, but why do Yang Xiong and Yang Feng seem to be drunk and in a daze?
There was something strange about everything, and Zheng Guangan felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
