The other side.
Yan Lun and Zi Song have put on their usual cute faces again.
Just because.
In front of the two of them, like most of the time, stood an old man.
Kong Difficulty.
"The five-flowered horse and the golden fur will be exchanged for fine wine, and I will sell the eternal sorrow with you."
"The rhythm of this man of the night is always so amazing."
Kong Nan sighed.
Staring at the Hongxing Tower in front of him, which was bustling with people and seemed to be bathing in the dawn of victory.
He squinted his eyes and asked the two disciples behind him:
"You have already started paying attention to the Louxuan Poetry Club, the competition between Zuimengxuan and Hongxing Lou."
"What do you think the final outcome of this situation will be?"
Yan Lun and Zi Song looked puzzled after hearing this:
"Master, there should be nothing left to guess."
"Zui Mengxuan, the defeat has been decided!"
The two looked at Kong Nan in confusion, completely unable to understand the master's intention in asking this question.
But Kong Nan smiled, turned around and left, saying as he walked:
"You have forgotten the plaque on Zuimengxuan. Remember, the world is still undecided and cannot be described!"
? ? ?
this?
No!
After hearing this comment from their master, Yan Lun and Zi Song were completely stunned.
They really couldn't understand why the master said something about Zui Mengxuan's defeat when it was so obvious that the world was still undecided!
"What? Can't figure it out?"
Kong Nan asked without turning his head, as if there were a pair of eyes behind his back.
"This is really hard to figure out..."
"My disciple is stupid."
"Although, the poem written by Mr. Night Face this time does sound like a good work. But don't you think that the beginning of this poem always feels abrupt?"
"I do feel that way, but what does this have to do with the competition at the Louxuan Poetry Club?"
The two of them were still confused.
But Kong Nan, the damn Riddler, is like that, stop talking and say no more.
…
at the same time.
Mu Mansion.
Today, a stove was lit in the guest room of Mu Mansion.
There was a pot of boiling water on the stove, boiling and steaming.
Mu Qizhang and another man wearing coarse linen sat across from each other.
He is Mu Qizhang's staff, and Mu Qizhang's confidant. He is also Mu Qizhang's student, named Fan Bingwu.
"Bingwu, are you saying that King Changnan was attacked when he went to Guo Mansion yesterday?"
Recently.
Mu Qizhang had been busy with other things, and he finally had some free time today. He had time to ask about what happened in the capital these days.
"Exactly, teacher."
"Who do you think did it?"
Taking advantage of this matter, Mu Qizhang asked in a testing tone.
"If you reply to the teacher, Bingwu can't guess it."
Fan Bingwu showed an embarrassed expression.
"It stands to reason that for this matter, King Changnan went to the Guo Mansion to find trouble with Prime Minister Guo. The most likely person to do this is naturally the Guo family."
"It's just that the Guo family has no influence in the court for a long time, so even if the Guo family wants to do this, they don't have much ability."
"Um."
Mu Qizhang nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.
"Secondly, there is Yang Qingdao. Yang Qingde's younger brother Yang Qingde just beheaded King Changnan a few days ago because of his revenge."
"Xiao Ning even tortured the daughter of the Yang family and sent her to jail."
"I think the Yang family also has motives in this matter. It's just that we all know Yang Qingde's personality."
"This guy is so tough on the outside, but he feels like he lacks the courage to do this."
"Um."
"Next, of course, it's Qingliu. Qingliu has always claimed to be the righteous person in the court, and he has a high regard for Pei Shiji, an old minister."
"In addition, King Changnan has become our puppet recently. It is equally possible for Qingliu to get rid of King Changnan."
Fan Bingwu continued to analyze.
At this time, Mu Qizhang had already accepted the words with a satisfied expression.
Obviously.
He was very satisfied with his disciple's remarks this time.
"However, Xu Ju is a sensible person. He knows that getting rid of the Changnan King will only make the situation more chaotic."
"So, let's not say whether Qingliu has anyone available. Even if there is, they are unlikely to act rashly in such a situation."
Mu Qizhang murmured.
"It's really strange to say that. There are so many people who want to kill a little Changnan King."
"We don't know who this person is who has never come into our sight at all."
"Forget it, as long as you do it, it will eventually show its flaws. We can just wait and see what happens."
"But that's fine. King Changnan was assassinated, but there was no trace of any master around him."
"Even the attendants and eunuchs he brought were all killed."
"Even the Imperial Guards were all injured. From this point of view, this chess piece should be safe enough for us to hold."
Fan Bingwu just listened quietly.
"Besides this, is there anything else?"
"Teacher, at noon today, Yang Qingdao came again, asking for your help to seek justice."
"As for his brother and his daughter, he still can't swallow it. He must look good to King Changnan."
After hearing this, Mu Qizhang smiled disdainfully.
"Haha, just let him keep looking. This kind of person is not worthy of my attention."
"However, this King of Changnan really needs to be beaten. Since coming to the capital, he has been a little too presumptuous."
"Yesterday, I went to the Guo family to seek revenge regardless of it. Today, I openly went to the brothel with eight sedans."
"Does he think he is still the dandy prince? He is the emperor now!"
Mu Qizhang frowned and said, then waved towards the door.
"Come here, let's change the tea."
Hear the words.
Two people soon came outside the house and brought new tea.
It's just two new faces.
The reason is very simple.
The person responsible for reporting the news yesterday was replaced.
The reason is.
Something happened in the Guo Mansion, and those two people didn't report it in time.
When Mu Qizhang learned the news, Xiao Ning had already tortured Guo Yi to death.
To this.
Mu Qizhang sent those two people directly to hell.
"Besides these, I think if there are any major events in Beijing today that teachers need to know about, it would only be the Lou Xuan Poetry Club."
"It's just that I don't think the teacher will like it."
"Louxuan Poetry Club? What about Hongxing Tower and Zuimengxuan?"
After hearing this, Mu Qizhang, as expected by Fan Bingwu, waved his hand unhappily:
"This group of people are really idle. They spend all day in Luoling City being arty and having fun."
"As everyone knows, there are so many places in Dayao's country where so many people are being bullied."
"There are still so many soldiers who cannot get their military pay."
"Without them, how could they live such a stable life in Luoling City."
"Wait a little longer. I will hold the chess piece in my hand tighter and start attacking these princely and noble families!"
Mu Qizhang said viciously, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Inside Zuimengxuan.
Mrs. Wang, Li Wanwan and others finally squeezed out the crowds in the three circles outside Hongxing Building and returned to Zuimengxuan.
at this time.
There were already very few drinkers in Zuimengxuan.
The few people watching felt chilled in their hearts.
However, it's not time to hang your head here just yet.
because.
Before Lou Xuan's poetry meeting started, they had to rush to take off the topmost plaque to prevent Hongxing Lou from coming over and taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
The other side.
Yan Lun and Zi Song, after sending Kong Nan back to the inn, had arrived near Zuimengxuan again.
Naturally, they were still curious about this so-called Lou Xuan Poetry Competition.
Today, they are standing in front of that plaque.
"Master always says, don't forget this plaque. Is there anything strange about this plaque?"
Zi Song looked at those words and complained in confusion.
Hearing behind him, Yan Lun seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly said in a shocked voice:
"Zisong, come here and take a look! This is it!"
