The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 86 Traveling through hardships and worries

Du Qian was quiet for a moment, then tapped the table with his finger and said: "Prince Pei, it seems that there is a very rich man behind the scenes, and he wants to buy my sister's life. If this organization can take risks and take orders, the money offered by the other party will not Less."

“It is said that if this order is made, you won’t have to worry about it for five years.”

After Pei Hao said this, he suddenly understood Du Qian's intention of raising the money, "I will ask someone to check which family in the capital has recently spent a large amount of money."

Du Qian was satisfied, and suddenly there was murderous intention in his deep eyes, "Stop all the forces organized in the capital. Let them know that there are some people who they cannot touch."

"good."

This organization has also expanded, and it dares to take any orders.

Now that Pei Hao has made a decision, of course he will not use his personal power. "Brother Du, I have decided to go to the emperor later to talk about the threat to the existence of the imperial court from a secret organization. No, he is now even the princess of the dynasty. If you dare to assassinate me, what else will you not dare to kill in the future?"

 “Ha, that’s right.”

Du Qian supported Pei Hao’s decision.

If you encounter an unknown force lurking in the capital, of course you must report it to the emperor.

 The two people looked at each other and smiled, both full of calculations.

 …

 In the evening of the same day.

 In the Imperial College, Xie Zhang, who had just finished class, received a message from the government asking him to go home.

 Xie Zhang guessed that something might have happened.

Today, he spent the whole day studying in the Imperial College, and he didn’t know what was happening outside.

 The carriage from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was waiting outside the gate of the Imperial College early.

Xie Zhang only spoke to his classmates and left the Imperial College.

 Going back to the house, I went straight to my father’s study in the front yard.

As expected, Marquis Dingbei was waiting for him.

Xie Zhang walked in slowly and saluted his father first.

 Dingbeihou asked him to sit down.

Xie Zhang walked to a chair nearby and sat down. The servant quickly served tea and then left the study.

“Father, you asked your son to go home, but what happened?”

 “You are in the Imperial College, and the news is a bit late.”

Dingbeihou told what happened in Rongchang Street today, as well as the vigorous and resolute actions of the Imperial City Secretary and the Imperial Guard. An hour ago, a forbidden army in the palace, led by the commander of the imperial guards, hurried out of the city.

 Soon, the city gate was closed.

 The city was ordered to be closed.

The Imperial Army and the Imperial City Guards were arresting people everywhere at this time. In addition, a number of shops, gambling houses, brothels, etc. in the city were closed. A wide range of forces are involved. For example, most of those businesses are protected by someone, or they are the property of some aristocratic families themselves.

 Being blocked suddenly, the action was so fast that no one even had a chance to react.

At the same time, during the arrest process, some people inevitably resisted and some people were killed or injured.

 The Xie family's properties were also affected, including several prosperous shops, gambling houses and brothels, which were properties behind his family's back. It's just unknown.

 The loss this time was no less than one hundred thousand taels.

 Let’s find out which places the Imperial City Division went to seal up and what kind of people they arrested...

The more details Xie Zhang knew, the more solemn his expression became, "Are we being implicated?"

“That’s right. I heard that they are eradicating an underground organization called Yanmen.”

 Dingbei Hou had nothing to do about this matter.

From the fact that the Imperial Guards and the Imperial City Guards arrested people everywhere, they knew that this matter was not something they could participate in or take care of.

Without an imperial edict, would these people dare to be so rampant?

 So, they can only suffer this hidden loss.

Xie Zhang thought carefully and then said: "Father, we are not the only ones who will suffer. We will wait until others make trouble. Let's just wait and see what happens."

“This is the only way.” Dingbei Hou remembered another thing, “Zhang’er, your third cousin contacted me two days ago and said that he was in the capital.”

“He has finally come back after more than ten years away from Beijing?”

 Xie Zhang was very surprised. He felt very sympathetic to his third cousin.

 Thirteen years ago, in a war, my grandfather, a general, and his uncle died tragically.

The youngest cousin also disappeared during the war, and his father has been sending people to look for him.

It was not until two years ago that my third cousin sent someone back a letter saying that he was living well and asking them not to look for him again.

My father was very happy at the time, but it was a pity that the third cousin did not leave any contact information. He only sent a unilateral letter of safety every three months.

Dingbeihou said: "I don't know where exactly I am. I heard that he returned to Beijing this time to do something. It is not appropriate to recognize us for the time being. When your uncle and his family left Beijing, your third cousin was just A seven-year-old child, more than ten years later, I don’t know what he has grown into.”

Hearing this, Xie Zhang had a vague premonition, "Did your third cousin say what you want to do?"

“No.” Dingbeihou shook his head.

 I returned to Beijing, but I still didn’t dare to meet them.

 The things you have to do are likely to be dangerous, and if something goes wrong, you may be involved in a lot of problems.

Xie Zhang solemnly said: "Father, please find a way to contact your third cousin as soon as possible."

"I can't get in touch. He always sends letters to his family unilaterally." Dingbeihou, like his son, vaguely sensed something was wrong, "What did Zhang'er think of?"

 “Isn’t Father a little suspicious?”

　　　…”

 The two of them were silent at the same time.

 The atmosphere in the study room was particularly depressing.

Dingbeihou said in a deep voice: "Zhang'er, your uncle only has a single seedling left with your third cousin. If something happens to him again, the family will be wiped out. My father doesn't want to see anything happen to him."

 “Father, I can only do my best.”

 Xie Zhang stood up solemnly and saluted to say goodbye.

Dingbeihou looked at him deeply and said, "If you can, save him if you can. In my father's eyes, your life is more important than anyone else."

 “My son will be careful.”

 Xie Zhang turned around and strode away.

 …

 Princess Mansion.

Du Wan has been very quiet since she came back.

The eldest princess was so worried that she sat next to her and raised her hand to touch her head, "My little girl, are you scared?"

  “No.”

Du Wan’s little head deliberately rubbed against the palm of the eldest princess’s hand.

 From the eldest princess, she felt the long-lost maternal love, "Mom, am I too weak?"

 “Why do you think so?”

“Look at the commotion outside, but my client can only stay in the house and can’t do anything.”

"fool!"

 The eldest princess chuckled.

 The laughter is very light and gentle.

“Wan’er, it seems that people in the world have thousands of ways to live, each with their own differences. In fact, there are only three types: those that rely on wisdom, those that rely on strength, and the other that relies on physical strength.”

The eldest princess said warmly, "What do you think you rely on for a living?"

 “Those who rely on their family will win!”

“…” The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

Du Wan was embarrassed by the laughter, and touched the tip of her nose awkwardly, "Then... what do I rely on?"

“Isn’t it very clear to me? Now that I know I have to rely on my family, why is Wanwan still struggling? Isn’t it normal for you to sit in the house and do nothing? Someone will do it for you.”

 The eldest princess taught her lessons with reality.

　Du Wan seems to understand but not understand.
