Lin Wang glared at Xishou and told him to shut up.
However, a beautiful figure in white stopped in front of the man, and he didn't see any movement. Suddenly, there was a scream in the courtyard. His mouth was full of blood when he spoke. He wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't say anything except whining. A word came out.
Lin Wang was so frightened that he took a step back.
Looking at this woman in white, even he couldn't figure out how to take action.
I had only heard that this woman tortured and killed Prince Jing, forced him out of Hangzhou and hunted him for ten days, and wore down Prince Jing's spirit to the point where he almost collapsed and finally killed him.
At first I thought it was a story made up by the White Lotus Sect, but now it seems possible.
This woman's strength has not been shown at all. This state has only been experienced by Emperor Wu.
Qin Huairou smiled faintly, with a trace of monster on her cold face: "Without Master Lin, the White Lotus Sect can still kill the emperor."
With one sentence, Lin Wang's guard pressure increased sharply, and he did not dare to speak.
Lin Wang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Fairy, don't be offended if my subordinates don't understand the rules. And since it's cooperation, there is no distinction between high and low. As long as big things are accomplished, when I ascend the throne, I will definitely give enough to the White Lotus Sect." the benefits of."
Qin Huairou smiled coldly and did not respond. Instead, she walked to Lu Wan'er, patted her shoulder, and whispered: "Wan'er, you have to remember that you are the one who really wants to be the emperor."
The excitement at midnight came to an end, it had happened, and there was no point in regretting it.
Everyone can only wait for the opportunity.
Everyone dispersed, only Lu Waner moved a little slower, still standing in the courtyard looking at the night sky.
She is the one who wants to be the emperor.
Lu Waner felt a little heavy.
Today's White Lotus Sect is presided over by the leader and Fairy Lingbo. Naturally, the person selected by the two women must be a woman, and Lu Waner is the only candidate.
Lu Waner had seen a lot and was touched in her heart. If she could really become the emperor, she would indeed want to reform some things.
But are you really ready?
"Wan'er, are you worried?" Nangong Hongye saw Lu Wan'er staying in the courtyard for a long time and couldn't help but ask.
"No, no."
"You have nothing to do tonight, why don't you stay with me."
"ah?"
"By the way, tell me the story of Yu Jiaoer and Lin Wanjie."
"Master, why do you care about this?" Lu Waner was curious.
"It's just concern. If you don't want to say it, forget it."
"You can say that."
Lu Wan'er retracted her thoughts and followed Nangong Hongyehui back to the room. After sitting down, she began to reminisce.
Nangong Hongye is more concerned about Yu Jiao'er, but Lu Waner doesn't know much about the third lady. Generally speaking, the third lady is a woman who looks slutty but is loyal at heart. She seems stingy and selfish in her words and deeds. When it comes to big issues of right and wrong, But it gives people a sense of heroism that is better than that of men.
Nangong Hongye listened carefully and raised the corners of her mouth: "The world is full of benevolence and morality, but is despicable at heart. There are still people who are selfish on the surface but selfless on the inside. Yu Jiao'er is really a strange woman. No wonder Lin Wanjie still can't forget her. .”
"Master, why are you interested in the third lady?"
Lu Waner still felt weird and couldn't help but ask again.
"I am playing the role of Yu Jiao'er now. Naturally, I need to know more about her so that I don't expose her secrets."
"The Emperor has never met Yu Jiao'er, so how can he reveal the secret, unless..." Lu Waner had an idea, "unless the person the leader intends to approach has met Yu Jiao'er."
Lu Wan'er just didn't say Lin Wanjie's name, but she had already been thinking about it.
Among all the elders of the White Lotus Sect, everyone knew that the Saint had great admiration for Ding Lin, the servant of the Xiao family. However, due to the glorious achievements of the White Lotus Sect, she put aside her personal relationship with her children.
Now that the leader intends to get close to his servant Lin Da, it would be a bit unpleasant to spread the news.
Nangong Hongye didn't want to be exposed in front of Lu Wan'er, so she changed the subject with a smile: "You have been in Yangzhou for some time, and you haven't met Lin Da yet, right?"
Lu Wan'er was stunned for a moment, then nodded a little shyly.
"Why don't you go and meet me?"
"There are big things going on in the church, and I don't want to be distracted by him."
"Are you really willing to be the emperor?"
"..."
"In my opinion, Lin Da is indeed a passionate person. If you really like it, you should take the initiative to pursue it. Instead of talking about the great cause of the family and the country as an excuse, we are not men, so why should we care about those things? It's a waste of time. Of course, personal feelings come first. Killing the emperor is just for fun, just for fun when you are interested."
Lu Wan'er was very surprised. Before, she only thought that the master had changed a lot, but she didn't expect that the leader had changed even more.
Is this what the leader said?
As he spoke, Nangong Hongye yawned: "Hey, why am I telling you this? Even your master is trapped by Lin Da, let alone you, an inexperienced apprentice?"
At night in the small courtyard, the night wind was quiet, and under the desolate moonlight, the white clothes turned into gray. At the highest point of the courtyard, Qin Huairou stood facing the wind, and all the whispers in the room could be heard.
The originally cold face took on a sad look after hearing the last sentence of dialogue.
Early the next morning.
Nangong Hongye woke up a lot, and suddenly felt that she had taken too big a step and had a bad impact.
In order to make up for it, she still attended a meeting of the White Lotus Sect in a decent manner. The first news she got was that someone from Wu Daozi came to the emperor's side, and the emperor's illness actually improved. Lin Wang hopes that the White Lotus Sect can take action and get rid of Wu Daozi.
In addition to the assassination of the emperor, there was another incident that attracted the attention of the White Lotus Sect.
Some of the former congregants suddenly joined some kind of logistics company, with a monthly base salary of two taels of silver, and commissions based on escort tasks. It is said that they can earn five taels a month, have working meals, and are well treated.
Now the White Lotus Sect wants to take action and call on its former followers to return, but those people actually did not respond to the call and decided to quit the White Lotus Sect.
There has never been anyone who wanted to quit the White Lotus Sect before. The reason why the White Lotus Sect has developed to what it is now is mainly because of its strong internal cohesion and constant brainwashing, allowing the followers to believe that they are righteous and believe that what they are doing is right. .
Relying on brainwashing will not last long. An inexplicable logistics company appeared and gave everyone tangible benefits. Those verbal encouragements in the past have no practical meaning.
Nangong Hongye knew the situation was serious as soon as he heard it. The White Lotus Sect could run away if they couldn't kill the emperor.
But without the support of the lower-level believers, the White Lotus Sect will soon lose its meaning of existence. How can we do this?
It must be investigated carefully.
"Master, I heard that the logistics company recently accepted a task to protect a winery outside the city. We need to take a good crack at that logistics company so that if they fail to complete the task, they will naturally fail."
Nangong Hongye nodded with deep understanding: "Yes, this matter must be dealt with first. Let Lu Wan'er personally lead people to test and test. If the previous members of the church abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, we can forget about it, but if they persist, then we will kill them without mercy!"
…
Lin Wanjie changed rooms tonight and slept next to Jian Niang's pillow.
This is a manifestation of the easing of the relationship with Jian Niang, and it is also a protest against the eldest lady who pushed him away last time.
Although Jian Niang is a stunning beauty, to be honest, she didn't sleep well that night.
Lin Wanjie has always been cautious, firstly for fear of crushing the bed, and secondly for fear of bumping into Jian Niang and offending others.
Jian Niang's body has no smell, it is light, like water, not as strong as the femininity of the eldest lady.
I'm used to sleeping with the eldest lady, so I can't smell the eldest lady's scent and I feel a little bit indifferent.
Jian Niang turned her head away from Lin Wanjie all night, saying that she wanted to ease the relationship, but words alone were not enough. She needed to get closer to completely forget the embarrassment.
It wasn't until Jian Niang got up that Lin Wanjie noticed a hint of sleepiness. When he was about to fall asleep, he heard someone calling him again.
"Lin Da, Lin Da! Come out quickly, something big has happened!"
It was the voice of the eldest lady.
Lin Wanjie turned over and went out in his pajamas.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?"
It's definitely not a trivial matter that can make the eldest lady panic, so Lin Wanjie is so nervous.
"There is a letter of challenge!"
"War letter?"
"It was sent from the winery. Someone from Qingshan Village issued a challenge to us, saying that we should hand over the food and remove the logistics company, otherwise the winery would be razed to the ground."
When Lin Wanjie opened it and took a look, he suddenly felt angry.
These bandits are too rampant. Under the banner of the former White Lotus Sect, they actually take themselves seriously?
Afternoon!
Just ridiculous.
"Yes, just come, whoever is afraid of whom!"
The eldest lady knew Lin Wanjie's temper and quickly explained: "I can't help it. The foreman went to inquire about it. I heard that the other party gathered hundreds of people, including many martial arts people. They said they were coming for the winery, but in fact they were. They came for our logistics company with the purpose of breaking up our logistics company! They also said that they would recruit people in the company to surrender, otherwise they would kill them without mercy."
"Hundreds of people? Real or fake?"
Lin Wanjie didn't believe it, because after the White Lotus Sect incident, the Jiangnan generation had much less banditry. Although they still existed, they would not form a group. Bandits with dozens of people would make a big move. Now, talking about gathering hundreds of people, this is terrible What to do?
Lin Wanjie ordered Zhao'an to have dozens of talents. He thought it was more than enough to defend one winery, but he didn't expect the matter to become so big.
"It's true!" The eldest lady was extremely sure, "The news came from a few rogues who were punished by you last time."
"What? Can you believe what they said to the gangsters last time?"
"The lady from Yazhai ran back and said that there were suddenly many people in the village, and people from nearby villages had united. They were kind enough to report the news, so there would be nothing wrong. Because many of our workers are from the same village, and they are noisy on weekdays. Forget it if you make trouble, this time it involves life and death, I won’t joke around.”
Hearing what the eldest lady said, it seems to make sense.
If there are hundreds of bandits, it cannot be solved by one's own strength.
Lin Wanjie immediately put on his clothes and hurried to the prefect's Yamen.
The last time we met in Taoyuan, the Yangzhou prefect knew Lin Wanjie, and Lin Wanjie's various exchanges with the emperor under the pavilion were still vivid in his mind.
The story of that time even scared the governor to sweat on his back. How could he, a strong man like Lin Wanjie, not remember it?
"Mr. Lin, what brought you here? After Taoyuan, has the Emperor summoned you?"
Lin Wanjie had no time to chat, so he quickly took out the letter of challenge and accepted it: "Sir, there is an emergency."
"Emergency situations?"
The prefect didn't know why, so he opened the letter of challenge and immediately became suspicious when he saw the content of the letter.
The afternoon of being a bandit?
This is too strange, it has never happened before.
Which bandits still play Guangming Da's tricks?
If the bandits want to succeed, they must first be surprised.
"Where are you from?"
"I received it at a winery outside the city."
"The official at the winery outside the city heard about it. Did you make it?"
"Exactly!"
The prefect was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Wanjie, who was proficient in poetry, not only sold wine, but also started a brewing business?
And wineries are being built aggressively.
"Sir, the banditry is extremely rampant. I heard that hundreds of people have gathered. Please send the imperial army to suppress it."
"Because the authenticity of a letter could not be confirmed, the imperial army was sent to suppress it. If the letter was fake, and if the other party did not come to snatch it after learning about it, wouldn't the imperial court's work be in vain?"
"The emperor is still in the city. He is not afraid of 10,000 people, but just in case. How can he just let it go?"
Lin Wanjie knew that he didn't have that much face.
I had thought about it before coming here. Now is a special period. The emperor is visiting Yangzhou City. If he hears that bandits have come to the gate of Yangzhou City to rob people's houses, they must be held accountable.
When the prefect heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "Yes, the emperor is still recuperating in the city! Any slightest disturbance inside or outside the city may cause an uproar."
The prefect took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You go back first. According to the letter of war, there are still two days to prepare. I will dispatch the city's officers to guard first, and then quickly contact the surrounding military camps to dispatch manpower."
As expected, the emperor was still proud of himself, and there was immediate movement in Yangzhou City.
Team after team of officials were dispatched out of the city.
There are even fewer guards in Taoyuan.
Emperor Wu felt a little strange when he went out: "Where have all the guards gone today?"
"I heard that there are some urgent matters outside the city that require manpower." Lin Wang explained.
"Oh, I finally left. That's fine. It's rare for me to be pure."
Emperor Wu had long requested that the guards be withdrawn, but the prefect was stubborn and would rather be punished than keep some guards.
Now that there is a more urgent matter, all the guards have been mobilized.
Emperor Wu didn't think much and asked again: "Isn't there no guests in Hongye today? Come here to me."
Lin Wang was surprised that the first thing the emperor did when he woke up was to look for red leaves.
Is it true, as Nangong Hongye said, that what is not available is rare? The more you evade like this, the more worried the emperor will be?
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry and go find him."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you again. Miss Hongye was ransomed and picked up yesterday."
"What? Was your body ransomed?" Emperor Wu frowned.
"Does the Emperor want another girl? In addition to the red leaf girl, there are also various girls in Yangzhou with red flowers, red colors and red sleeves."
