Huang Nanming used all his strength to ride his horse and chase Master Xu.
But he was already far behind, and his equestrian skills were not as good as others, so he could only watch as the backs of Master Xu and the others turned into black shadows in the night, getting further and further away until they could not be seen clearly at all.
"It's broken! You guys, go elsewhere quickly, call those who caught the thieves, and go together to rescue the captured government officials!"
Huang Nanming also knew that the whip just now might have chilled the hearts of many people.
Seeing that the people around him seemed reluctant to take action, he whipped his whip into the void again. The horse that he was sitting on almost threw him off the horse, but Huang Nanming didn't care.
He stared at his subordinates with scarlet eyes, and shouted fiercely: "Don't think that you can get away with it if you don't go, and intercept merchants' goods. As long as you participate, whether you take one tael of silver or a hundred taels, the court will pursue it. It can range from being dismissed from your post to being beheaded or even bringing down family members!"
"Sir, don't worry, we didn't say not to go."
"Let's call someone right now!"
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the people following Huang Nanming no longer wanted to be alone. They clamped the horse's belly and used all their strength to drive the horse.
The government officials who were running without horses from the rear turned around and ran towards Shangxian County seat on the spot.
First call the brothers who are still searching for thieves in Shang County and go together.
Huang Nanming couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the sparse dozen or so people and then thought about the forty people in Master Xu's book.
Only by dispatching everyone to the motorcade could he barely achieve a tie with Master Xu, and for the matter of abducting Zhang Zhida, he was completely at his wits end.
After all, if the errand assigned by the prince fails to be completed, the prince can still help him out.
It was exposed that the Pingxian County government deliberately plundered merchants' loans. Even if he wanted to serve the prince in the future, he would be unable to do so.
"My lord, I hope you will be prosperous and able to defeat Zhang Zhida, so that no matter who takes him away, he will not pose any threat to you, my lord."
…
Jin Palace.
The King of Jin had just finished admiring the last chrysanthemums in autumn, and was preparing to take his newly arrived concubine to relax for a night.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard footsteps beside me.
"Your Majesty, this is the Crown Prince."
Zhou Yu usually doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. In addition, in recent days, Zhou Yu has begun to take over Zhou An's affairs, and he has to communicate with him on major matters.
King Jin was very satisfied with this attitude of respecting his father. He thought that Zhou Yu and Zhou An were much better in this regard, but there was no need to report everything to him all the time.
Such as this time.
Zhou Yu should know that in order to attract more help, this new concubine would not be able to stay overnight.
Not to mention the support brought by this new concubine, only that this concubine was only eight years old and looked pretty and charming. He didn't want to talk about business matters that could be discussed tonight.
"Yu'er, you have grown up and are now the prince of the palace. You should be able to handle things by yourself. You don't have to ask your father for everything."
Before Zhou Yu could explain his intention, King Jin struck first.
Not only did he not let go of his right hand holding the concubine's shoulder, he even hugged the concubine tighter, which showed his thoughts.
"Yes, Father. Then if I encounter these little things in the future, I will handle them myself?"
Zhou Yu lowered his head obediently, but his eyes were full of calculations.
After the Beidi people sent the list and evidence, within a few days, my father secretly contacted those people.
In three days, the Jin Palace had five new official ladies who were promoted to concubines and wives.
The mother-in-law shed tears every night, but she never wanted to blame her father.
He also knew that as a royal child, this was something he had to go through. He sympathized with his mother and concubine and could only offer some relief, but for his future encounters, he had to be on guard in advance. The position of the heir apparent , because the father will have children with these new women, the mother and concubine may encounter unexpected events in the battle for the queen's palace, thus making him insignificant.
so.
Even though there was nothing important tonight, he still came here deliberately after finding out that his father liked and valued the concubine who came in today.
Taking advantage of the good things that disturbed his father a few times in the past, he set up a psychological trap and asked his father to transfer power to him.
King Jin was coaxed by the beauty to drink a few glasses of wine, and because Zhou Yu always obeyed his words and never said a word, he had no intention of being on guard at all, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "Yes, you can just handle those little things by yourself, that's all." Just like...just like your brother An'er, don't talk about those small things, he made many big decisions for me."
Mention Zhou An.
The pain of losing his son only made King Jin frown. Because the beauty in his arms was hugged too tightly, he let out a squeak and asked his men to go to the warehouse to get some good treasures and give them to this new sidekick. Concubine.
Zhou Yu looked at his father, who knew that his mother-in-law had been saving money recently, and was doing his best to maintain the family's expenses, even taking out the dowry to resell subsidies. In order to win the beauty's smile, he sent a gift of ten thousand taels of silver. He was concerned about the trap he had just designed. No more guilt.
"I wish my father to show off his talents again tonight, and my son will retire first."
"Go, go, tell your mother and concubine that Concubine Yu went to bed too late and she can't get up early, so I'll skip the Jing'an tea first."
As soon as these words came out.
Jiachu, who was in the dark, suddenly felt a subtle but obvious murderous intention.
He looked towards Zhou Yu, but he was confused when he saw Zhou Yu nodding in agreement with a smile.
Who is the prince's murderous intention directed at?
Concubine Yu? still……
Jiachu didn't dare to think deeply. As a secret guard, his duty was to protect the prince's life.
No matter who wants to endanger the prince's life, he will fight back.
But if it was a dispute in the inner court, and he was not a doctor, he would not be able to talk nonsense if he wanted to hurt people without bloodshed.
Zhou Yu left Concubine Yu's yard. After thinking about it, he still didn't go to his mother and concubine to deliver the news about his father. This would have made her so sad that she couldn't sleep all night.
When he returned to his yard, he closed the door and began to look at the affairs he had taken over.
But there is always a fire in his heart. In this late autumn, it is so burning that he wants to shout out in order to be happy.
Seeing this, Zhou Ruqing, the personal guard next to him, said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, why don't you go out for some fresh air? I heard that in the Tianxiang Building to the west, there are many young and beautiful ladies with superb talents, especially the oiran from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Jinling. Miss Wuluan, those who have seen her dancing in the sky in Jinling all say that she is amazing. Many dignitaries spend thousands of taels every night to see her dance, but they have never danced before, and it is so fragrant. The building has only a few servants, it is very clean and suitable for a prince."
Probably because his father and brother were both lustful people, they had been used to seeing all kinds of beauties since childhood, so Zhou Yu was not interested in female sex.
Besides his wife, he only has three concubines around him.
Moreover, he didn't like the place with fireworks and willow alleys. He felt that those who were dirty and despicable were not worthy of eating at the same table with him, let alone sleeping in the same bed.
But at this time, I felt depressed, and Zhou Ruqing said that Tianxiang Tower was changed into a place for gentry, which was the first of its kind in the capital.
"Today's affairs are almost settled, so I'm going to see if the Feitianwu of Jinling Oiran can soar into the sky."
Jinling Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
The original confrontation between Zhou An and Ning Wuhao was written into the poem "About to Enter the Wine", which happened in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
It would be interesting to chat with the girl Wuluan about what happened at that time and how Zhou An suffered.
