The old man's behavior seemed impulsive, but in fact it was after careful consideration.
He had calculated well. No matter what, Lan Ru would die today.
The fact that Wu Zhenfeng almost accidentally injured King Yi has been seen by too many people, but Jin Qing has become King Yi's savior, so he must kill Jin Qing as soon as possible.
The people who went to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to participate in the auction today are all our children. Although these people have high family status, they are also the best at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
The Huaiyin Marquis Mansion has been silent for too long, and there is no family that has good relations with them at all.
And what he has to do now is to send a signal to everyone: before going against the Zhenguo Government, they must first consider whether the Zhenguo Government is within their reach.
The old Duke believes that everyone is smart. The Duke's mansion is now in the limelight, and there are some things that they will never tell anyone even if they know about them.
King Tao has lived a difficult life in Beijing for so many years, and he will not say a word. What he has to do now is to quickly get rid of Lan Ru.
As long as there is no Lan family left and he comes forward to appease King Xi, he can naturally tell the truth about this matter.
When the time comes, he will go to the palace in person to plead guilty, leaning on the dragon-headed crutches given by the late emperor.
The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion controls 70% of the country's troops. Except for a few generals under Wei Zhanfeng, the border navy, and the guards who protect the capital directly under the emperor's management, almost the entire country's infantry is under the control of the Duke of Zhenguo. under the control of the government.
I believe that the emperor will turn a blind eye to this matter and save face for his government.
What makes the old Duke strange is that if Lan Ru had always had such strong martial arts, then why was he still being slaughtered in the Duke's mansion and almost died.
Is it because Lan Ru still has feelings for his grandson Pinggui, or because Lan Ru has other plans for the government of another country, so he has been holding back...
Thinking of this, the old Duke's already drooped eyelids suddenly raised, and his eyes widened: "Follow me and go to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to seek justice." He gave up the title to his son just because he was old and was afraid of doing anything. Making mistakes is not conducive to the family's decision-making, but it does not allow children and grandchildren to be bullied.
No matter what Lan Ru's purpose is, her life ends today!
Moreover, what happened today was also a test for them against the emperor.
The Wu family has too much military power, and the emperor must have disliked them for a long time, but he has been holding back for various reasons.
Now that he openly led troops into the city to besiege the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, it was tantamount to taking the initiative to hand over a handle.
If the emperor is angry and punishes them to hand over part of their military power, it means that the Wu family can finally escape intact.
But if the emperor made other punishments to the Zhenguo government, he could also judge the emperor's thoughts in time and take precautions early...
Therefore, in the eyes of Laozhen Guogong, this incident is both a revenge and a game.
It's not a game between him and other aristocratic families? It's a game between him and the emperor.
The most important thing is that Lan Ru must die. If other Lan family members dare to stop him, don't blame him for being cruel.
There was still an alley left for Prince Tan to return to his home, but at this moment, he and the steward's carriage were blocked.
Seeing helplessly a group of soldiers wearing armor and carrying crossbows pushing two three-bow crossbow carts into the city? King Xi asked the steward dumbfounded: "What are you doing?"
The housekeeper squinted at the patterns on the soldiers' armor: "These are the people under Duke Zhen Guo."
King Tan's tone was a little anxious: "I'm not asking who these people are? I just want to know what they want to do."
The housekeeper looked at the majestic and uniform soldiers and sneered: "What else can be done, of course it must be a big move."
King Xi gritted his teeth: "Does the Zhenguo Government want to rebel..."
The butler leaned his body against the wall of the carriage behind him: "Isn't it right? There are too few people? There are nearly 3,000 imperial guards in the palace alone. These people should be going to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion." Wu Zhenfeng suffered such a big loss? If the Duke of Laozhen can still sit still? He is not the man who leads an army of millions.
King Xin frowned: "But why did the guards at the city gate let them into the city?"
By this time, the last soldier had gone far and the road was open again. The steward sighed and drove the car significantly faster: "Because there are no more than three hundred of them!"
The Duke of Laozhen not only has the tiger talisman in his hand, but also a jade plaque given by the late emperor.
In order to better protect the safety of the imperial city, the Duke of Laozhen could use this jade plaque to mobilize 300 soldiers to temporarily bring weapons into the capital and guard them outside the imperial city.
King Tao nodded clearly at first, and then quickly discovered something was wrong: "It's broken, then my future wife is not very dangerous!" Since he has decided to propose marriage to the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, Lan Ruyu is naturally his future wife. .
The housekeeper rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, we haven't gone to propose marriage yet. And after this incident, I don't know if Miss Lan will still be alive for you to propose marriage."
King Xi was silent for a moment, then raised his legs to jump off the car: "No, I have to go to my future wife's place to see if there is anything she needs help with!"
The housekeeper quickly grabbed him and said, "Please stop for a moment!"
King Xun's eyes widened: "Which one of us is the master?" What does a quick message stop mean?
The butler realized that he had made a mistake and quickly took back his hand to apologize: "Your Majesty, if you go now, you will definitely be accidentally injured. The sword has no eyes!" His prince is really a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
King Tao originally wanted to say something, but thinking of his embarrassing position, he finally shut up obediently: He should live well!
Seeing that Prince Xin had stopped, the housekeeper moved faster and headed straight for Prince Xin's mansion.
In the palace, Ying Er had just squatted on a tree. Before the emperor summoned him, he saw a father-in-law hurriedly walked in and said something to the chief steward. After the father-in-law left, the chief steward quickly walked to the emperor and whispered in the ear. A few words.
Later, Ying Er discovered that the emperor had smashed the inkstone at hand...
Xu was splashed by the fragments of the inkstone, and blood dripped down the emperor's hand on the table. Upon seeing this, the chief steward hurriedly sent someone to call the imperial doctor, while he himself knelt down to help the emperor stop the bleeding.
Ying Er originally thought that something bad had happened to the emperor, but he didn't expect that before the imperial doctor came over, the emperor had already calmed down and continued to review the memorial as if nothing had happened.
The chief steward, on the other hand, knelt beside the emperor and waited on him silently.
After changing into the clothes of a cleaning boy in the mansion, King Tan sneaked out. He didn't argue with the housekeeper just now because he didn't want to listen to the housekeeper's nagging.
Since I have decided to marry Second Miss Lan, and now that I know something happened in Lan Mansion, I have to go over and take a look.
If that doesn't work, I might as well help collect the bodies.
Don't call him a crow's mouth, he just lives a very practical life!
As soon as he sneaked into the alley near the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion and lay down, King Tao's mouth was covered from behind. King Tao's eyes widened in fright!
