Qin Laowu nodded: "Yes, yes, my subordinates went to check the merchants, but..." At this point, he stopped talking.
Fu Tingye was very impatient: "Say."
"However, if you want to check merchants in Shengjing, the one with the broadest possible route and the best information is the Tang Sect. As long as the Tang Sect is willing to help, they can immediately find out Xiao Han's property." Qin Laowu said it very vaguely, but he actually wanted to The expression is nothing more than a sentence. He has a low status and Tang Yu, the head of the Tang clan, will not like him.
Fu Tingye frowned: "Zhao Sheng told me before that Tang Yu might make an appointment with Si Bing's wife. You can ask her to help, but... don't let her know that we are looking for Xiao Han."
"Oh, yes." Qin Laowu was thinking in his mind. Since we need to ask Madam for help with this matter, but we don't want Madam to know that we are looking for Xiao Han... it is a bit embarrassing.
"What? You don't know how to do it?" Fu Tingye glanced over, and Qin Laowu was all excited: "I know, I know, of course I know how to do it, general, don't worry."
…
The case of Yulian's family massacre has spread to the court, and the Queen Mother seems to want to ask a little-known imperial guard to lead people to suppress the bandits.
For a time, several forces in Shengjing got the news one after another, and there was quite an atmosphere where some were happy and some were sad.
Prince Ning was naturally the most at ease among the forces. The Queen Mother made it clear that he was not needed, and he did not have to follow others to make blind efforts. However, the person sitting opposite Prince Ning drinking wine must be in a very subtle mood.
According to the post written by Prince Ning, Xiao Yan of the family and Zheng Sheng, the general manager of the Royal Forest Army, were invited to attend. Although Zheng Sheng's rank was more than a little lower than that of Prince Ning, Prince Ning still reserved a seat at the banquet for him, which shows that Prince Ning’s sincerity.
In addition to Zheng Sheng, he was accompanied by several officials from the imperial court. Seeing King Ning's move, those officials had their own motives.
There is no way, who is the nephew of the Queen Mother and does not look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face
Yes, now that the Queen Mother is in power, no one can predict what official rank Zheng Sheng will be promoted to next.
Ingratiating yourself with others as soon as possible will make things easier for you in the future.
But Zheng Sheng didn't know what other people thought. Now all he could think about was that bastard Chen Yuan, which made him fall out of favor in front of the Queen Mother. What was even more despicable was that this opportunity to make great achievements would probably be given away to others.
"Brother Zheng seems to be worried. If there is anything I can do to help, just ask." Prince Ning picked up the wine glass and offered a toast to Zheng Sheng.
This was Prince Ning's humility and courtesy, which an ordinary official could no longer afford.
However, how could Zheng Sheng be an ordinary official? His heart is as high as the sky. He has been aloof since he was a child. What does Prince Ning mean? Taking the initiative to toast him means that he understands current affairs.
This guy must be afraid that he will speak ill of him in front of the Queen Mother, so he compliments him like this.
Zheng Sheng picked up the wine glass and accepted the toast from Prince Ning with an arrogant expression: "Brother Prince Ning, you're too polite. It's just a small matter. I'm just a little upset."
Prince Ning was not annoyed by his attitude, but instead laughed: "It's a pity that Brother Zheng spent such a beautiful time in a dull mood. You must know that you must have fun in life, and do whatever you want to do boldly. Why bother?" There are too many taboos, aren’t there?”
It's very subtle and subtle.
Prince Ning secretly laughed in his heart, this idiot must be planning something stupid, why not add fuel to the fire.
Zheng Sheng seemed to have drank three glasses of wine. In line with the surrounding scenery and atmosphere, he became bolder. He immediately stood up and said goodbye to Prince Ning: "Thank you, Prince Ning, for a reminder. Sheng seems to have thought of something particularly important. Go back first."
"Brother Zheng, go slowly." Prince Ning stood up and greeted him politely.
Zheng Sheng turned around and left, but the other officials didn't pay attention at all and didn't even say hello.
After they left, several officials came forward and said, "Prince Ning, this man is too arrogant. Are you so tolerant?"
"Prince Ning can stand it, but we can't stand it. This kid Zheng Sheng is just relying on the Queen Mother to gain support. In fact, he is just a loser."
Regardless of whether these words were true or false, whether they were flattery or sincere, Prince Ning felt very comfortable listening to them and advised him: "Let's continue, don't let the night and the wine go to waste."
"Yes, yes." Seeing that King Ning refused to say more, the officials changed the subject.
Just as he pushed the cup and handed it to the cup, Prince Ning's glasses glanced at the place where Zheng Sheng had just been sitting, and he laughed in his heart. He couldn't stand this kind of instigation. He was indeed an idiot.
Zheng Sheng came out of Prince Ning's house and went straight to the palace. Although he was not on duty tonight, the palace guard naturally let him go easily when he saw that he was his boss.
After Zheng Sheng entered the palace gate, he did not go to the Queen Mother's palace to greet her, but went to the ancestral hall.
And the person working the night watch over there happens to be Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan didn't know that Zheng Sheng had come to look for him. The ancestral hall was the place where he used to work. He was familiar with it inside and out. After making two rounds, he found a corner to take a nap in a sheltered corner and was half asleep. Before falling asleep, I suddenly heard a series of heavy footsteps around me.
He suddenly woke up, followed the source of the sound, and easily saw the manager Zheng Sheng, followed by several of his usual confidants. The group of people came menacingly, and seemed to have evil intentions.
Chen Yuan suddenly felt excited: "Wow! The manager brought so many brothers to come to me in the middle of the night. Could it be that they are talking about love and life?"
Zheng Shengyin kicked him hard and said in a deep voice, "Hit me! I will be responsible for anything that happens!"
Chen Yuan did not expect that the other party would not play according to common sense. This Zheng Sheng was too bold.
It was obvious that he couldn't defeat him in front of the Queen Mother, so he came here to trick someone like this!
He didn't stay long, and the thirty-six tactics of running were the best. He turned around and ran away, but it was already too late. Several other people jumped out in the direction behind him in an instant.
They have already made arrangements.
"Wow, wow, no, no, no. Boss, how could you do this..." Chen Yuan complained, but before he finished speaking, two of them had already taken action against him...
His skills are also quite impressive. In the past quarter of an hour, he did not let those individuals get close, but his fists were still unable to defeat his four legs. Soon he was at a disadvantage, and he was caught by Chen Yuan and the others. Two people dragged him by the arms, and the others took turns stepping forward to beat him.
Since the chief steward had ordered that he would be responsible for anything that happened, these people really had no scruples. They beat them wherever they could, and they kept beating them for almost an hour.
In the end, Chen Yuan was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud with injuries all over his body. He didn't even have the strength to speak.
"I'll give you a lesson and let's see if you dare to go against me Zheng Sheng in the future!" Zheng Sheng was very satisfied with his "work", and the mood he had been suppressing for the past few days was instantly relieved, and he happily ordered: "Let's go !Brothers, let’s go drink!”
With an order, the group of people hurriedly disappeared into the night.
There were patrolling guards passing by, but they saw that it was the house manager who was taking care of people, and no one came close.
But just because no one is approaching doesn't mean there is no one.
Zi Wan has been secretly monitoring Chen Yuan for the past two days since she was ordered by the Queen Mother to test it. She is just performing a task, and her selfish motives are selfish. At this time, Zheng Sheng and others have gone far, and she quickly ran out of the darkness and squatted down. Next to Chen Yuan: "Hey! How are you?"
Chen Yuan opened his incomplete eyes and looked at her, but he seemed to want to smile, but his face was covered in blood and flesh, and his smile was particularly ferocious.
"It's already this time, and you still have the heart to joke!" Zi Wan really regretted how she could be soft-hearted to him.
"Can you get up?" Zi Wan touched him, but the moment she touched him, she heard someone yelling like a pig: "It hurts, it hurts!"
"It's really strange. They hit you so hard just now and you didn't even scream in pain. Why should you scream now! No matter how painful it is, just endure it with me!" Zi Wan didn't care about his feelings and just picked up her arm and put it on her back. , her steps staggered a bit, but luckily, she was a trained person, and she still had the strength to carry a person.
Chen Yuan's heart trembled violently. This was the first time he had been so close to a woman, the first time he had been carried by a woman... Why did it feel so good? !
It seems that the beating just now was worth it.
"You can obviously escape, why are you still standing there?" Zi Wan had seen the whole process. Chen Yuan's skills were more than twice as good as those of Zheng Sheng. Even if he couldn't win in a protracted battle, at the beginning It is also possible to defeat one or two of them to break through.
But he did the opposite, which made Zi Wan a little confused.
Chen Yuan had always suspected that he was being watched. Hearing Zi Wan's words, his heart instantly brightened. It turned out that the uneasy feeling he had in the past two days was due to this girl. Could it be that... he was attracted by her
Then why don't you pretend to be reserved and temper this bitch's bad temper
Chen Yuan was sure that his heart had wandered, far away.
"Hey! I'm asking you a question!" Zi Wan was impatient and couldn't help but give him a nudge.
Chen Yuan was in pain, and instantly fell from thinking back to reality: "Take it easy, you are going to murder your husband!"
"Hey! What did you say!" Zi Yuan was really angry and threw him down with a flick of her hand. Chen Yuan was so painful that his limbs twitched for a moment: Smelly, stinky guy! Sure enough, she must change this temper in the future! Change it!
"If you dare to talk nonsense like this again! Believe it or not, I will kill you immediately!" Zi Wan looked serious and looked fierce, but no matter how fierce she was, she was a woman after all, with a hint of fragility.
If other people in this palace had seen Aunt Zi Wan angry, they would have been trembling with fear!
It just so happened that he was Chen Yuan. When he saw Zi Yuan like this, he just thought, well, that stinky bitch is quite handsome when she is angry!
"Be honest with me! Otherwise I will make you a eunuch tonight!" Zi Wan was furious when she saw that he looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and couldn't help but say harsh words.
It works.
Chen Yuan immediately... got scared.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is what you say." He swallowed, as long as his dick is not destroyed, you have the final say. Anyway, I can't beat you now, so give in, give in.
"That's pretty much it." Zi Wan lost some of her anger and looked up to see two eunuchs on duty passing by. She quickly called someone to stop her and helped her lift Chen Yuan up and carried her to the Imperial Hospital.
