The character design collapsed! The general's sick beauty is a killer

Chapter 345 Extra 5

Tang Xi's attention was attracted, and Wen Zhi sighed angrily, "It's not because of the Yu family."

After Yu Min died, all direct members of the Yu family were put to death. Most of the powerful and capable people within the nine clans were dealt with. All officials who had contact with the Yu family were also eliminated, demoted or punished.

Logically speaking, the decline of the Yu family is a foregone conclusion, and any attempt to turn it around again is a fantasy.

But he never thought that Yu Pei would suddenly appear.

This person is an insignificant bastard from an insignificant branch of the Yu family. His father is the governor of the northwest border area, and he has two older brothers.

During the purge of the Yu family, his father was beheaded and his two brothers were exiled. He was also on the exile list, but he had the foresight to buy a release in advance and was able to live incognito.

Originally, if he had been living so quietly, there would have been no need to pursue him. However, this man had a very high ambition, and under the name of being the only bloodline of the Yu family, he began to contact the remaining forces of the Yu family.

The Yu family has taken root in Dayu for hundreds of years, and its influence is deeply entangled and spreads throughout Dayu.

The purges in the past two years have only wiped out Yu Min's influence in Shangjing City. There are so many prefectures and counties in Dayu that have not had time to be cleared out one by one.

Yu Pei used these forces to cause trouble everywhere.

First, he used the sympathy of the people to make up stories, spread rumors, and instigated the people to fight for the Yu family. Then he became arrogant, gathered troops, attacked local government offices in some counties, and even hired some charlatans to lurk into the mansion of the county governor and magistrate.

So far, two people have been assassinated by him.

As soon as he got the news about him, Jian Chijin sent the new Dali Temple Prime Minister, Pei Enqiong, to assist Gan Qi, the new commander of the Forbidden Army, to capture him, but only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals were caught, and Yu Pei escaped.

Subsequently, Pei Enqiong and Gan Qi failed several times one after another. Yu Pei was like a loach. They spent manpower and financial resources not only to fail to capture him, but also to boost the morale of their group.

At this time, she was bored in the palace all day, so she asked to meet the loach for a while.

She, the queen, should be the most hated person in the Yu family. She killed the most noble young master of the Yu family, robbed Yu Min and sent 100,000 shi of food to Shujunguan in the last battle of Shojunguan, which indirectly promoted the Yu family.

The demise of a lineage.

She made the bait herself, and it would be unjustifiable for Yu Pei to slip away again.

So she and Jian Chijin played a scene, the emperor and the empress were at odds, the empress left the palace in anger, and she chose the place where Yu Pei had recently appeared - Lidu as a place to relax.

The remnants of the Yu family will not miss this perfect opportunity for revenge.

Sure enough, during the five-day journey from Shangjing to Lidu, she encountered more than twenty assassinations. Especially as she got closer to Lidu, the assassinations became more frequent, which indirectly showed that Yu Pei was in Lidu.

.

"So you are here to buy information about Yu Pei?" Ren Sang asked.

"Exactly."

In the past, when Yongye Pavilion was still there, any news she wanted to get could be easily obtained. But now it was no longer possible. She had to run around to buy the news.

Ren Sang stood up, with his back to the light, and his tall and tall figure instantly enveloped her, "Vice-capital Lidu is hosting a family banquet tonight at Xu Shi. You can come with me."

Tang Xi looked up at him, frowning slightly, not understanding what he meant.

"Yu Pei has been living in the residence of the deputy capital Qu Xieren recently."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xi stood up and walked decisively towards the stairs, "Let's go quickly, we don't have much time."

It is now three o'clock in the hour of You, not long after the hour of Xu.

Ren Sang followed her downstairs, and the two of them went back to the inn first. Tang Xi changed her clothes, disguised herself as Ren Sang's servant, and drove a carriage toward the deputy capital's mansion.

On the way, Tang Xi learned from Ren Sang that the vice-capital, Qu Xieren, was a friend of Yu Pei's father, and it was only through his connection with Yu Pei's father that he was able to sit where he is now.

Ren Sang's informant at the deputy capital's mansion in Lidu reported back that Yu Pei came to Qu Xieren's house fifteen days ago and was treated politely by Qu Xieren. Qu Xieren almost obeyed his words.

This banquet was also held to win over some big shots for Yu Pei.

Ren Sang is one of the most important ones.

They didn't know where they learned that Ren Sang held an important position in the Night Palace.

If they can win over Ren Sang, it will be very convenient for their future actions.

At this banquet, Yu Pei is very likely to show up.

Tang Xi only needs to follow Ren Sang, wait for the opportunity to act, and kidnap Yu Pei, and then he will be done.

The entrance to the Vice-Capital's Mansion was already bustling with activity, and there was an endless stream of luxurious and extravagant carriages.

Lidu is an extremely wealthy capital city. As the deputy lord of Lidu, one can imagine how high his social status is. Many people couldn't get in at the banquet he held.

Tang Xi followed Ren Sang out of the carriage, followed him respectfully with his head lowered, holding a gift box in his hand, which was a meeting gift for Qu Xieren.

Following the servants in the mansion, he walked forward and entered the courtyard, where he was greeted by Qu Xieren.

"Young Master Ren is here. I apologize for my delay in greeting Qu." Qu Xieren clasped his hands in fists, with a humble face.

The two of them exchanged greetings, and Tang Xi quietly raised his eyes and looked at the deputy capital master.

Zhou Zheng's face has a neat beard, and there are light wrinkles at the corners of his eyes when he smiles. He looks very generous and honest.

"This is my gift to the Vice-Capital, please be careful, Deputy-Capital, don't dislike it."

Ren Sang turned around and signaled. Tang Xi understood and handed the gift box in his arms to the young boy who was following Qu Xieren.

The smile lines at the corners of Qu Xieren's eyes became deeper and deeper. Bringing a gift showed that the other party was also interested, and it would be much easier to discuss cooperation in the future.

"Master, please come this way."

Ren Sang did not give in and followed his guidance to the banquet hall.

Tang Xi quietly stood behind Ren Sang, with his hands lowered and his head lowered, adding a cup of tea to him from time to time, acting like a good young man seriously.

The silk and bamboo are melodious, the dancing girls are as graceful as butterflies, and the local wealthy gentry exchange cups and cups, chatting and laughing.

There were many people present, except for Qu Xieren, no one else knew Ren Sang. Since he had no name or status, naturally no one would take the initiative to talk to him.

Ren Sang sat quietly on his seat, expressionless, and drank Tang Xi's refill of tea calmly.

Tang Xi has been looking around quietly, looking for Yu Pei's face.

She had seen a portrait of Yu Pei, which was very different from his loach-like style. He had a delicate face and the appearance of a scholar who would fall over in the wind.

It is said that the reason why he was not favored was that he was too weak to practice martial arts.

Tang Xi often wondered how such a person could escape again and again from Gan Qi and Pei Enqiong.

After looking around in a circle and not finding the figure he was looking for, Tang Xi had no choice but to give up.

Just wait, Yu Pei will definitely take the initiative to contact Ren Sang.
