Chapter 871: The Abandoned Son

The Tangzi Hutong on the west bank of Shichahai is behind the Dingfu Hutong, and the front is the Dingguo Mansion. It's just that now the magnates of Jingshi have built gardens in the city one after another, such as the English Park, Chengguo Gongshi Jingjing Garden, etc., and the family of Dingguo Gong Xu Jingchang has also moved to Dingyuan near the pond on the west side of Deshengmen Street. Over time, in order to prevent thieves, even the back door of the Dingguo Mansion was closed, and the Tangzi Hutong close to the back door was naturally deserted, and the vendors who used to be full of it changed places to do business.

Because behind the Guogong Mansion, Tangzi Hutong did not have other decent officials' mansions in the past, and most of the subordinates released from the Guogong Mansion set up courtyards in this area, and now even these courtyards are mostly rented and sold to outsiders. The courtyard facing the back door of the mansion is the largest, the inside and outside are quite neat, it was originally the private property of a housekeeper in the mansion, it was rented to a merchant three years ago, people in and out of the past are not lively, these days I don't know because the capital is on guard everywhere, or because there is no business, the door has always been closed tightly, only opened once in the evening of this day, welcomed in a line of seven or eight people.

At this time, the night curfew had arrived, and the sound of the bangzi outside had been ringing for a while, and in the spacious big room in the main room, several people were sitting on the left and right, but their faces were silent. In the east room, the food that had been delivered a long time ago was still resting on the small table of Huanghuali carved lacquer, and it had already lost its original hot breath.

"Why don't you send someone out there to inquire?"

"Don't be too troublesome, just if it's not good to hear the news, what can you do?"

King Liang waved his hand impatiently, and sat down behind the table, but his heart was burning. After a long time, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "If there is no movement in the two watches, then immediately go out of the city from Desheng Gate, and someone outside will answer." Anyway, I've been preparing quietly for so long, and someone is watching over there, so the way back is always appropriate. As long as the palace can succeed...... No, it's the palace that will definitely succeed! I originally thought that Sun Guifei had taken care of the Shang Diet Supervisor, coupled with the spices I offered, it must be the Queen Mother who suddenly fell seriously ill this time, who knew that it was the crown prince, and women are really unreliable! However, I sent in so many eunuchs, and the people in the red shop are about to make trouble, there will be no problem in getting things done! ”

He said it categorically, but the middle-aged man next to the table who was originally the head of the Jin Wang Mansion knew that this Tianhuang nobleman didn't care about me at all, and even said that he was already afraid. Thinking about it, Li Maoqing was equivalent to a transfer station for money, but the person who contacted him inexplicably bumped into Zhang Yue's hand and took it; and Tongzhou Tongjicang and Dingbianwei were planted in the hands of a small person who first complained, and they forcibly tore the biggest gap; King Liang mentioned a few words to King Xiang, and King Zheng and King Yue really rushed straight to the palace, but they were still blocked, and the only benefit was to clear themselves.

However, all this was the idea of the letters, and the sixteen-year-old prince was nothing more than a marionette, and all that could be used was that identity, and the determination made out of hatred, and nothing else. But for the sake of the present, waiting for the news in the palace is only hanging, and I still have to consider the last step. That black cauldron is too big, one King of Jin's back is not enough, adding another King Liang is always enough, presumably with King Liang's arrogance, he will not push everything on others, because he disdains to do such a thing, let alone poke out the tricks behind it.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged manager showed a slight smile, and said warmly: "Your Highness, don't worry too much, even if it doesn't work out, it will be a great rebellion of King Jin, and it has nothing to do with you." After all, His Highness never came forward. ”

"Don't say anything that can't be done!" King Liang slapped the table angrily, but when he thought that it was no one else here, it was a guest and friend he treated with a teacher, his face slowed down a little, "I have been preparing for so long, if I don't succeed, I can only go to the vassal in misery, and it will be difficult to worship my mother in person again, and I will never see my brother again...... Why is it that the person who killed my mother can live so peacefully in the world of Renshou Palace! If only he were here...... If only he were here......"

When I thought of the time when I was in the East Palace, because my father's position was unstable, and my mother's Wuding Marquis title was equivalent to being lost, when their brothers were together, his young concubine was inevitably excluded, except for King Xiang and paying attention to him, only Zhu Zhantan, the son of the Han Dynasty who came over occasionally, was the most affectionate to him, and the things he gave him were even more generous than other brothers. Over time, he naturally trusted and respected him until the day when the news of his death came.

If it is said that it is the first mourning, then the death of the father and mother is the second time, and the death of the elder brother King Teng is the third. He didn't want to watch his frail brother Wei Wang follow in the footsteps of his parents and brothers, so he decided to give it a go. Even if he does it, he won't sit in the Dragon Court, but if he doesn't do it, he will regret it for the rest of his life!

He was jealous of Zhu Zhanji, but he also respected him as his eldest brother, so he naturally wouldn't attack over there, but his mother's hatred was not shared, and he would not let go of his ruthless mother-in-law. What's more, according to his investigation layer by layer, there is likely to be something wrong with the death of King Starling. King Teng is not a frail and sickly King Wei, even if he is overly grieved, how can he die with a cold?

The middle-aged manager saw that King Liang's face was uncertain, so he quietly retreated. The outside world was full of dead soldiers who had been fed by King Liang with countless money, and after eating at this time, they were all in the spirit of a race, and when they saw him, their expressions did not change at all. He didn't speak, just raised the curtain and went outside.

This is the place he arranged, naturally, that is, it is under the name of King Jin's mansion, because he is the head of King Jin's mansion and has nothing to do with King Liang. It must be known that he has been alone in the capital for many years, and if you count on the King of Jin who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun but is extremely harsh and cruel, he will not be able to have a few lives. So, he walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard, looked back at the motionless curtain, and went down the steps. He hurried all the way along the mewright to the back door, opened the door and looked around, and found that there was no one, so he was relieved.

After going out and walking, he took off the fine velvet robe on his body, put it on his body again, put the hat on his head and put it in his arms, and reached out and rubbed it on his head and face, and after a while it became a different appearance. Even so, he still walked and looked behind him, and found that there was no one, so he turned into a dark alley on the side. After walking for a while, he suddenly stopped in front of a house and knocked gently for a long time.

The two doors opened silently, and a head poked out of them to take a look, and then pulled the middle-aged chief manager in, and quickly closed the courtyard door. Standing in the courtyard, the manager asked eagerly, "Can you really leave Desheng Gate tomorrow?" ”

"Rest assured, it is a regular practice to send the dung truck out of the city gate every day, and this one will not be inspected if it is inspected, even if something big happens, it is impossible to close the city gate." The person who answered smiled with confidence, and when he saw that the manager was relieved, he actually rubbed his face with his hands, and then he opened his mouth and said tentatively, "Brother Li, this time the matter is over?" ”

"Of course it's over! After planning for so many years, he couldn't stand the coincidences one after another, and he was ruined by force, and he had to take in the two relatives. King Jin just knows that he is violent, in fact, he is stupid, and he doesn't even need to incite it, he will make a fuss by himself, but King Liang ...... If he is gone, where will he find such a good candidate in the future? ”

"He's gone, isn't there still King Wei?"

"King Wei? What's the use of relying on that sick King Wei, as long as he can walk normally, others should be happy! Besides, this time he has already lost a piece of the Wuding Hou family, without the assistance of outsiders, what else can he do? Even if the Marquis of Wuding can keep it, this title will be changed to someone else, who else will help him? After saying such a thing in one breath, seeing that the person opposite looked at him with admiration, the manager sighed again, "Don't look at me, these are all the master's plans, I'm just an errand runner, just draw a gourd and talk about it." You also pack up and get out of the city as soon as possible, and wait for the wind to come later. ”

That person naturally knew that the manager was just modest, don't look at him as the head of the Jin King Mansion, but he was really a strategist, but he was just not by the master's side. So, after sending the person into the room, he took hot water, food, etc., and used it with him, and waited until the person went to sleep, and then he went out of the room, and immediately looked up at the gloomy sky.

No matter how important the characters used to be, they were worthless on this night. As expensive as King Liang, he is an outcast, let alone a strategist? The master has given him a chance, as long as the guy just now is tight-lipped in front of him and doesn't show off, but it's a pity that he doesn't understand this last opportunity, then don't blame him for being ruthless. Of course, he doesn't know how to use his hands and feet in the diet, but the rest is not easy?

However, just as he reached into his arms and touched the fire, he suddenly heard a commotion not far away, and then found that the direction was much brighter all of a sudden. With a tight heart, he hurriedly walked to the gate of the courtyard, and was about to put his ears on it, when the two courtyard doors that were clearly closed were suddenly pushed open, and he was caught off guard, but he was slammed into the open door, and staggered back a few steps to maintain his balance.

But in such a moment, the two figures outside the door had already pounced. In a panic, he instinctively tore open his throat and wanted to call someone, but when he thought of the movement not far away, he immediately swallowed back the voice that came to his mouth, and just beat his spirit to respond to the enemy. However, he was in a hurry to respond to the battle, and the weapons in his hand were not at hand, but the people who came came prepared, and the cold light blade did not leave his side, but in just a few rounds, he added several wounds to his body, only gritted his teeth and did not make a sound, and it took a lot of effort to retreat to the door of the main house.

Before he could dodge into the house, he heard a sharp swishing sound when he felt a sharp pain in his feet, and he fell down all at once, and was followed by a sharp blade around his neck. He let out a low and soft breath, and looked at the wound on his thigh again, he immediately gritted his teeth desperately, but unexpectedly someone pinched his jaw violently, followed by the sound of a dislocated jaw.

When he was neatly tied up, and when he saw several people dragging out the chief who didn't know whether he was alive or dead from the side room, he couldn't help but be annoyed and hateful. Such a weak person is just spineless, and when he hears the movement outside, he doesn't even know how to break it!

However, when he saw that the people were all covered with face towels and searched room by room in an orderly manner, and someone was cleaning the traces of the fight, and someone was bandaging his wounds, and then even the blood stains on the ground were washed with water several times, and then sprinkled with some unknown medicinal powder, he suddenly woke up, and his heart suddenly regretted and regretted.

This is not Jinyiwei, nor is it those fans of Dongchang! Although the methods are similar, if they are those in the public house, how can they act in masks? Knowing this, he would shout even if he was desperate, and if he fell into the hands of the court, as long as he confessed to King Liang, he would be able to pass the test, but if it fell into the hands of these people, he didn't know how many layers of skin he would have to take off!

When the thing was done, the man who started waved his hand slightly, and several people immediately took the two captives hostage and walked outside, but they did not go far before they entered another courtyard in the same alley. When he had entered, he gagged the sturdy men and threw them into a room, leaving four guards, and the leader and the rest went out of the house, and went straight into the main room to speak, while there were still two people in the courtyard who were watching and listening.

At this moment, the movement not far away became more and more intense.

In the main room, several people who took off the face cloth wrung a towel to wipe their faces, and Hu Qi, who was in the middle, smiled and said: "This time the work is done beautifully, when I go back, I will report it, and the adults will definitely remember it." We are better than anywhere else in the subsidy of money and food, and we will naturally not treat you badly in this position. Temporarily settle here tonight, and pull people back to Yangzhou Hutong tomorrow. Raise the two of them well, prevent suicide, don't ask anything, and wait until you go back tomorrow, this is not a place, and you don't have anything to do. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Hu Qi looked at the copper kettle on the side. Counting the hour, the movement over there should be that the Soldiers and Horses Division blocked the Tangzi Hutong, in this case, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, who got the news from the eyeliner, should have also gone straight to the Liangwang Mansion on the side of the Ten Princes' Mansion. Naturally, they don't dare to arrest people, but as long as they find that the person is not there, it is enough.

At the third watch, the sound of street horses and sergeants running by became louder and louder. On the second floor of a small teahouse facing the street, which had already been laid off, two figures were standing in front of the window with only one slit open, looking at the lines of people on the street. After standing for a while, one of them asked in a low voice, "Third sister, can the message we sent to the palace be effective?" ”

"Although I don't want to be a Buddha mother anymore, I don't want to be a random person who can be called a Buddha! What is the matter of the Heavenly Family Struggle Guan Bailian Sect, it is good that a few people will die, and there will always be a few people who will know the token! As he spoke, a jade hand gently lowered the window bracket, and the man said lightly, "The world has finally been peaceful in the past few years, and he didn't lie to me." If I hadn't happened to come back this time, I wouldn't have known that there would still be people who have taken a fancy to the White Lotus Sect, which has long since died down, and still used the name of the White Lotus Sect to provoke those fools to make trouble. If you let me know who that is...... He'd better wash his neck and wait! ”
