Chapter 301: The Edge of Crisis
Chapter 301: The Edge of Crisis
The front hall of the palace.
Su Jing stared coldly at Zeng Tai.
Now this person is the most suspected, and he must give an explanation to Yangzhou officials anyway.
"Zeng Tai.
When Zeng Yan besieged the camp, he should be treated the same as Yangzhou scholars and put in prison to wait for disposal.
You, have objections. "
"My minister has absolutely no objection."
Zeng Tai took a deep breath and responded when he left the class.
Su Jingting nodded, frowned and said: "Fang Qian is in custody now, and Cui Liang cannot escape the responsibility for what happened today.
From then on, Yangzhou is up and down by you alone.
What do you have to say? "
Zeng Tai shook his head with a wry smile, then cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Highness.
Weichen knew that he was under suspicion, so it was inconvenient to lead the civil and military affairs of Yangzhou.
I also ask His Royal Highness to assign officials from the Eastern Palace to handle government affairs for the minister. "
"That's a great word!"
Su Jing smiled all over his face, but there were many warning signs in his heart.
Knowing the advances and retreats and knowing the trade-offs like this, the Zeng family father and son are really extraordinary.
"Since that's the case, let's go back first.
But don't worry.
Since you are dedicated to sharing the concerns of the imperial court, I will naturally not embarrass your son.
After I find out who is behind the scenes, I will let him go home. "
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"
Cui Liang and the three bowed their hands together.
After glaring at his own son fiercely, he walked out of the hall with his head downcast.
Su Jing squinted at Li Ke, but suddenly found a small figure hiding outside the palace gate.
Just by looking at its hesitant outline, one can know who is coming.
"Young lady, have you finished your snacks again?"
"ah!!!"
The little young lady screamed and hurriedly took a step back.
After seeing who was coming, he plunged into Su Jing's arms.
"Brother!
Miss you! "
"Hahaha~"
Su Jing picked up the little meat ball and pressed her face with happiness.
"Tell me, how many snacks and food do you want?"
"No!"
The young lady wrapped her hands around Su Jing's neck, and said softly, "Brother.
Sister Xin is going to visit Sister Lianxue outside the palace, and Young Lady also wants to go with her.
But the mother said that the young mother is now the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so it is inconvenient to go out to play in the palace.
Brother, can you beg your mother for the young lady? "
"Out of the palace?!
Young lady, Yangzhou city is not peaceful. "
Su Jing frowned, his words were full of worry.
The people behind the scenes shot again and again, but he didn't even find out who was controlling it.
What should he do if he takes the risk and kidnaps the young mother.
"Brother, don't be angry.
If the elder brother doesn't allow it, then the younger mother won't go. "
Seeing that Su Jing was frowning, the young mother obediently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows.
Seeing this, Su Jing's heart softened.
After thinking about it carefully, he smiled and said, "You can go out if you want.
But remember not to run around, and return to the palace immediately after lunch.
Remember? "
"remember!
Young girl is so good! "
The little girl smiled sweetly and happily, and lay on Su Jing's shoulder excitedly.
Although she is well-behaved and sensible, under Su Jing's dedicated care, how does she know the dangers of the world.
In her perception, the most evil person in the world is the brat in Nie's village, at most he would beat her up with words.
She has experienced too many such small things, and she has never taken them to heart.
It's just that she thought so, but Su Jing didn't dare to be careless.
"Zhao Quan!"
"The end is here."
"Bring fifty personal guards to protect the young lady.
remember!
Anyone who tries to approach in vain, no matter men, women, old or young, will be killed without mercy! "
"The last will obey!"
Zhao Quan went away in response.
Su Jing put down the little girl and rubbed her little head.
"Go, go early and come back early.
After the eldest brother finishes handling the government affairs, he will accompany you to play in the city. "
"it is good!"
The young lady happily waved her hand at Su Jing, and staggered towards the distance.
Xin Yaoqin and Yan Lingbin are already ready to go, just waiting for her to go back.
……
Yangzhou North City.
The border between North and South.
This place is close to Nancheng, and people who hold their own status don't want to live here.
Therefore, many houses are empty, but they are more complicated than other places, which breeds a lot of crimes.
However, because it is located in the aristocratic area in the north of the city, it is often inconvenient for Yangzhou government servants to step in.
Those who maintain law and order here have gradually become servants of the nearby wealthy families.
"Patriarch, the front is the hiding place of Fengmingyuan."
At the corner of a narrow alleyway.
A middle-aged strong man quietly pointed to the house more than ten feet away.
Guo Cheng nodded when he heard the words, and carefully looked at the surrounding layout.
"Is there any arrangement for the assassin?"
"Patriarch, don't worry, the younger one has already sent someone to invite the son of the old bustard of Zangxiang Pavilion."
"Oh?
Why would he agree to this matter? "
Guo Cheng was puzzled.
The strong man showed off with a smile: "The Patriarch doesn't know something.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince searched the brothel, his parents were imprisoned, and his family property was swept away by the yamen servants.
Even his youngest son, who was under three years old, was also killed by mistake in the fight.
Now he can be regarded as a broken family, and he only wants revenge. "
"So good!"
Guo Cheng stroked his beard and smiled.
He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then ordered in a deep voice: "Remember!
After the incident was completed, the Huang and Bai families each left three or five alive, and the rest were all sent on the road. "
"Yes, master."
……
Three poles in the sun.
The originally quiet street suddenly became noisy.
Several horse-drawn carriages stopped at the intersection of the street, and fifty guards from the Eastern Palace guarded Yan Lingbin and the others, walking slowly towards the small courtyard.
The guard on duty immediately opened the gate and stood aside with his head bowed.
The distance of more than ten feet is more than half in an instant.
Just as everyone was walking to a street stall, there was a sudden cry of surprise.
"Miss Xin!"
"Ok?"
Xin Yaoqin paused when she heard the words, and turned her head to look in doubt.
I saw a man with a simple and honest face standing timidly behind the booth.
"Master Chen?!
How can you handle this here..."
A look of loneliness flashed in the man's eyes.
Then he smiled calmly, and said loudly: "The Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion was raided by the governor, and a certain family had no choice but to earn some money here."
Xin Yaoqin hooked the corners of her lips in embarrassment, and said apologetically, "It's all because of the servant's family that hurts my mother.
After Lianxue recovers from her injury, the slave family will definitely come to the door to apologize to her mother. "
"You don't have to worry about it, little lady, mother never blamed you."
The man shook his head sincerely.
Raising his hand and pointing to the double-layered meatloaf on the booth, he said with a smile: "This is a craft that a certain family learned from a barbarian, and the people nearby all say that this is a rare delicacy.
If the Cangxiang Pavilion hadn't been raided by the governor, how could a certain family have the opportunity to display it.
In this way, a certain family has to thank the little lady. "
"I am ashamed to be a servant."
Xin Yaoqin saluted again, her heart was full of gratitude and guilt to the old bustard's family.
Seeing this, the young lady at the side gently tugged at the corner of Yan Lingbin's clothes.
"Sister-in-law, is the pork belly delicious?"
Yan Lingbin was taken aback when he heard the words, and his winking eyes instantly narrowed into beautiful crescents.
Immediately, he skillfully picked up the little girl, and said softly: "No wonder your elder brother said you are a snack!
Just finished breakfast, are you hungry again? "
Facing Yan Lingbin, Youniang was quite embarrassed.
Her throat moved a few times unconsciously, and she said in a childish voice: "Young lady is not hungry.
The young lady just wanted to take a copy home for her elder brother. "
"You are smart!"
Yan Lingbin tapped the young lady's forehead.
Turning around to look at the rather moved Xin Yaoqin, she said softly: "If sister Xin is ashamed, then bring some more food back to the palace.
I will report to His Highness later, and then I will make a living with him. "
"Thank you, Sister Yan."
Xin Yaoqin smiled gratefully, and walked slowly towards the booth.
Yan Lingbin hesitated for a while, and followed behind with the little girl who was poking around.
Zhao Quan cautiously looked around the bungalows, and did not suspect him.
He waved his hand to call for the guards to guard the left and right, and then followed closely beside them.
It's just that no one noticed that the drooping cheeks of the kneading man were already full of ferocious expressions.
