Happy Little Scholar

Outside Fengzhou City, Li Yi stood under the city wall and looked up.

On the towering city wall, the two characters "Fengzhou" were particularly majestic and magnificent, and they were obviously written by a famous artist.

He looked at the city gate again. After leaving this time, it was uncertain whether he would come here again.

He felt a little guilty about Lin Wanru. She had always taken good care of him and Miss Liu Er, but in return, she told him lies one after another. Although these lies were well-intentioned, Li Yi still couldn't face her calmly when he left.

After a moment, he took back all his thoughts, turned around and looked into the distance, waved his hand, and said softly.

"Let's go..."

Half an hour later.

"Chase!"

In Fengzhou City, fast horses galloped out. A young man in front of them was full of excitement and shouted: "His Highness has ordered that if you catch them, there will be a huge reward!"

On the official road, pedestrians and vendors dodged one after another, and the horses galloped, splashing up dust.

In Fanglin Garden, Lin Wanru slowly closed the book in her hand.

The description on it was very detailed, and it planned the future path of Fanglin Garden in detail. Although she still couldn't understand some of the means and methods, she had previous experience and would not have any doubts about it.

If she followed this plan, in the end, most of the affairs in the store would not need her to do it herself, but she would only make some important decisions occasionally, and at that time, the control of the Lin family's industry would seem to be deeper than it is now.

If she had obtained such a thing two months ago, she would have regarded it as a treasure and attached great importance to it, but now she had no interest in it at all.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip gently. The tea was still red date and wolfberry tea, but it didn't taste like yesterday.

The sun was about to set, and the light in the not-so-spacious room behind Fanglin Garden gradually dimmed.

Lin Wanru looked at the teacup, with no expression on her pretty face, and just sat there quietly.

After an unknown amount of time, the silence was broken.

Lin Yong walked in from outside, knocked on the door gently, and said, "Miss, the Qian family's steward is here..."

"I know, let him wait outside for a while."

Lin Wanru nodded and stood up slowly, without any fluctuation in her tone.

Lin Yong's eyes were a little dazed, and he felt that the young lady at this moment seemed to be different in some way.

...

Lao Fang jumped off a carriage and said, "Son-in-law, don't be in a hurry to go back. There is a town a little further ahead. Let's rest here first. We will make it before dark."

A team of more than a hundred people naturally cannot carry various weapons around their waists and swagger through the city like this, at least not in Qi. The goods loaded on several large carts are real goods. This time, they exchanged a lot of good things from Qi with glass. When they go back, they can just take them together.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Then let's rest for a while."

Lao Fang and his men came from Kyoto. They traveled almost day and night for a month. After arriving in Fengzhou, they did not have a good rest. When they go back, they don't need to be so anxious.

There seemed to be some grudge between the sloppy old man and the Taoist priest surnamed Yuan. Usually, no one bothered to care about each other. At this time, they were on their own. Lao Fang saw him take out a candy from his arms and throw it into his mouth. He smacked his lips and said, "Hey, old man Xu, give me one."

The sloppy old man glanced at him and said, "Not much."

"Don't be so stingy."

"This is just the first time, and it won't happen again." A candy flew over from a distance. Lao Fang peeled it and threw it into his mouth, saying, "I brought so many people with me. I thought I was going to do a big deal this time, but I didn't expect to come back so easily..."

"Want to do a big deal?" Li Yi looked back and said, "The opportunity is here."

Lao Fang turned his head and looked behind him, his expression stunned.

At the same time, many people around stood up and looked in a certain direction.

There was smoke and dust in front of him, and occasionally there was the sound of horses neighing.

A young man on the horse urged: "Hurry up, they can't go far in the carriage, they should be in front!"

Seeing that there seemed to be a caravan in front from a distance, the young man hurriedly reined in his horse and shouted: "People in front, stop!"

He turned over and dismounted, and after sweeping his eyes through the crowd, he waved his hand and said: "Nothing, you go..."

Before he finished his sentence, his eyes suddenly stopped on the face of a woman in front of the crowd. After a moment of stunned, he said happily: "It's them!"

"Catch them all!"

He waved his hand, and the hundred guards behind him immediately dismounted and surrounded the entire caravan.

Although the number of the other side seemed to be not small, these people were all carefully selected guards by His Royal Highness Heng Wang. Even if they faced several times the number of bandits, they didn't have to be afraid. There was no need to worry at all. The young man stood in front and shouted: "Where is Li Xuan, why don't you get out for me!"

Bang!

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden pain in the bend of the leg, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

When he raised his head and was about to curse, he saw that the people inside all had a smile on their faces that he couldn't understand.

What he couldn't understand even more was that when he just lowered his head, where did the swords and weapons in those people's hands come from...

"Everyone, hurry up, don't waste time." Lao Fang clenched his fists and was the first to walk outside.

Let the same number of masters from the Heavenly and Earthly Rankings and the Secret Intelligence Service deal with some so-called personal guards who are at best somewhat skilled. Even if there are a few of them who are really good, they will not be able to survive in the hands of these people. On for too long.

Even the sloppy old man and the Taoist priest surnamed Yuan did not take action, but within a moment, among the hundreds of people, not even one person could still stand well.

The young man who was still kneeling on the ground had turned pale, his body was trembling, and he said in a trembling voice: "I, we, we are the personal guards of the eldest prince. If you dare to do anything to us, you will definitely not be able to leave the Qi Dynasty." country!"

"The eldest prince, bodyguard?"

Lao Fang squeezed the joints in his hands until they crackled and said, "Uncle, I have a bold idea..."

…

…

Zhao Yi walked out of Fengzhou Station and sighed slightly.

I originally planned to leave for the capital today, but now I have to postpone my trip.

The Young Master of the Yang family disappeared. One hundred of the eldest prince's personal guards were stripped naked and tied up in a woods outside Fengzhou City. They were only discovered early this morning. One hundred people, that kind of scene, he Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Although it had long been expected that the people sent by the eldest prince would fail, they did not expect that it would be in this form.

The eldest prince's face has been humiliated a long time ago, and it doesn't matter if he is humiliated again, but if something like this happened within the boundaries of Fengzhou, he couldn't pretend that he didn't see it.

What's more, the missing young master of the Yang family can be regarded as a censor. Although it is only a temporary official position, it is difficult to explain to the Yang family...

Zhao Zheng walked out of it with a darkened face and said in a cold voice: "Who exactly did you let go? If you can't give me an explanation for this matter, you can give it to your father after you return to Beijing!"

As soon as Zhao Zheng finished speaking, an official hurried over and said loudly: "Your Highness, Bingzhou is reporting urgently. Last night, several supervisory censors and hundreds of personal guards of His Highness King Heng entered Bingzhou and summoned Bingzhou officials to serve His Highness King Heng. Order to carry out the law of silver for criminal offenses, order Bingzhou officials to confess their faults, pay for their crimes with silver, and leave Bingzhou at dawn with 600,000 taels of silver..."

"What nonsense!"

Zhao Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and the next moment his expression changed drastically, and he said coldly: "The supervisory censors are all at the inn. When did I, the king, give such an order!"

Because of the matter of "Yin Zui Yin", he has been at the forefront of the storm. There are countless public opinions and there are many voices of dissatisfaction with him in the court. The three words "Yin Zui Yin" cannot even be mentioned now. How could he do such a thing? Something stupid?

"According to the Bingzhou officials who just arrived, those people were holding the sign of Prince Heng's Mansion, and they indeed verified the identity of Yang Yushi..."

Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and immediately asked: "Is that censor named Yang Cong?"

The official responded: "Exactly."

Zhao Zheng stood there in a daze, feeling his eyes go dark and the world around him spinning.

Seeing His Royal Highness King Heng falling straight down, the official immediately stepped forward and said in panic: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
