Chapter 333
Chapter 333
66's words caused ripples in the two people's hearts. He revealed only one piece of information - something has changed in Yanjing.
Lin Yuzan's face was solemn as he carefully roasted the secret letter. As the temperature rose, the image of a turtle on it gradually disappeared, and was replaced by densely packed small characters.
It was different from the concise and clear letter that Xiao Yining paid someone to write.
This letter records every detail of what happened in Yanjing, spanning four full pages.
Three things I witnessed: the assassination of King Yu, the emergence of Lu Tingfeng, and Pu Fanmeng's suicide
The others are small melons similar to what Chen Jiaoyi described and are not important.
After the two of them looked at it carefully, their expressions were different.
Wang Cheng glanced at his old rival whose face was gradually turning pale. Just as he was about to show some sympathy, he heard him break the silence and say, "The military pay sent by the court should arrive in North City ahead of time."
Lin Yuzan's eyes were half closed, and people could not see his expression clearly. He only calmly analyzed, "Minister Park's daughter hurt Prime Minister Xie's granddaughter, and the emperor must help Prime Minister Xie seek justice. Now that the emperor has discovered the secret treasure, it has touched his reverse scale. He will never use it again, but Minister Park has always been cautious, and it is difficult for people to find fault with him."
"For this reason, the emperor will definitely set up a trap and use other things to quickly get rid of him and use it to intimidate all officials. I guess Minister Park will not live past the Dragon Boat Festival."
"In order to save face, the emperor will also let him die in front of all the ministers and make them grateful to him."
What Lin Yuzan guessed was also what Wang Cheng was thinking.
Wang Cheng looked at his old rival, who was talking several times more than usual, and sighed softly.
After his master's wife's death, his reputation was destroyed for no reason, which finally disturbed Lin Yuzan's mind. He was too lazy to say such superficial words on weekdays.
He followed his old rival's words and continued, "I think our previous reminder will alert the emperor and he will not let others rob the military pay."
Lin Yuzan raised his eyes and glanced at him, sneering, "It's not robbing, it's burning. There's a severe drought in Yanzhou, and the Ministry of Revenue has allocated a large amount of relief grain. There's not much left in the granaries and government warehouses, and the Ministry of Revenue is also in a tight spot."
"And the price of grain outside has also increased from 4 cents to 4 taels per stone. The food shortage has reached such an extent that the people are already penniless. If this batch of military pay is burned, once again, the people will definitely be in dire straits. This is when the savior should appear."
There are starving people everywhere, people are eating their own children, and the place is full of hell, but it can become a stepping stone for others to achieve fame. Although it is extremely cruel, it is also extremely realistic.
Who could have known that someone was using the whole world as a chess piece, just for four words - "legitimate and justifiable".
Wang Cheng couldn't help but sighed, "It's too late after all..."
Lin Yuzan sneered, "You are nothing nowadays, and you still care about whether you are late or not."
Wang Cheng:......
This damn Lin Yuzan.
Sympathy should be fed to the dogs.
Lin Yuzan slowly tore the letter into pieces and continued slowly, "If the situation changes, the spies will definitely get the news and advance the plan. If it goes as expected, he will be desperate and do something desperate."
Wang Cheng glanced at the fragments with a slightly relaxed brow, sighed helplessly, picked them up one by one resignedly, and burned them to ashes over the candle flame.
He glanced at his old enemy who was still unhappy, and finally couldn't hold back the words on his lips, "I think the Empress Dowager has returned to the capital, and the Emperor is under great pressure to be filial, so he wants to use your status to annoy her."
The Empress Dowager is approaching the end of her life and she only has a few years left. It is inappropriate for her to jump out at this time.
In her previous life, she had never lived longer than the emperor who was still in his prime.
Wang Cheng was a little confused. He was always inferior to Lin Yuzan.
Lin Yuzan pursed his lips, dipped his fingers in tea, and scratched on the table a few times, writing two words "太" and "女".
Wang Cheng suddenly realized: Prince Yu wanted to use her to lure out the remnants of the former prince's followers and take control of the girls' school at the same time.
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng frowned. King Yu was really anxious.
He continued the topic, "So when do you plan to return? If you want... I can go alone."
Lin Yuzan stood up, glanced at him calmly, and replied with four words, "Business is more important."
This trip, the two of them not only wanted to catch the spies, but also wanted to bring peace to the North City for a few years, or even decades.
Wang Cheng understood, but his brows didn't relax but became even more furrowed. "If you run away again, the old man will be unhappy."
Lin Yuzan lowered his eyes, seemingly not caring about it, and said lightly, "It's just annoying, Sister Qing can do the same."
Hearing this, Wang Cheng was stunned. He stared at his old rival in disbelief.
After a while, he suddenly stood up, looked at her and asked sternly, "You deliberately let Sister Qing wear the safety lock, didn't you? You already knew the background of Master's wife, right?"
Lin Yuzan raised his eyebrows slightly, with an ambiguous smile on his lips, but what he said was completely unrelated, "The sweet potato was discovered by Sister Qing."
After years of seeing each other, Wang Cheng immediately understood his unfulfilled intention. He wanted the emperor to give Qing Jie'er the position of a county princess, and if sweet potatoes were not enough, he would also deal with the Empress Dowager.
In her previous life, Leng Mengwan was able to become a county lady with the help of sweet potatoes, so why couldn't his daughter do the same.
Lin Yuzan - I have never been willing to give up...
Wang Cheng stared at the damned Lin Yuzan and cursed, "Mad man, you actually fooled everyone."
Lin Yuzan smiled indifferently, then said seriously, "Let's get ready tonight."
After saying that, he ignored Wang Cheng and strode out of his tent.
Wang Cheng: ...When will this feeling of being led by the nose stop?
The moon is dim and the night is quiet
The Chen family military camp was just like usual, with several teams of soldiers holding torches and marching in neat steps in the camp. Whenever two teams of soldiers met, they would nod slightly to each other and then cross each other and leave.
A dark shadow nimbly dodged the sharp and vigilant sight and slowly entered the main tent.
During the day, the women of the Chen family rushed to the North City, and several generals of the Chen family returned home for reunion. It was a perfect time to cause trouble.
With the help of the faint moonlight, the shadow fixed his eyes on the city defense map hanging on the shelf, his eyes flashing with greed and excitement. He couldn't wait to untie the rope, take down the city defense map and put it in his arms.
Just when he thought everything was going well, a cold and lazy voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Wu Gouzi, why are you running here instead of cooking your food?"
Before he finished speaking, a faint fire lit up not far behind the black shadow.
Lin Yuzan held a fire starter in his hand, with a playful smile on his face, and stared with interest at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him.
Wu Gouzi was flustered for a moment, then turned around with a normal expression and said with a low laugh, "So it's Dayu's military advisor. You are so free that you don't sleep at night and actually stand guard here. Just now... did you see everything?"
Lin Yuzan nodded and asked knowingly, "Why, do you still want to kill someone to silence him?"
Wu Gouzi had a long blade in his hand behind his back. The coldness of the blade brushed Lin Yuzan's face with the faint light. He said in a cold voice, "In this case, your life will be left here. Anyway, you are just a useless military advisor and no one in the army cares about you."
Lin Yuzan raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile, "You are right, I really don't care about anyone in the army, but I don't like traitors. Catch him."
As soon as these words fell, several masked shadows appeared in the tent. The leader, 66, drew out his soft sword and stood in front of Lin Yuzan, saying, "The emperor has ordered that this man can only be castrated but not killed."
Lin Yuzan: ...
Wu Gouzi: ...
