This sentence was inexplicably funny, and He Jiuniang couldn't help laughing.

Lou Chong joked with them: "Yes, boss, you are already a third-grade official, why don't you give us some opportunities?"

Lu Baichuan knew that they In fact, I just didn’t want him to go on the mission with injuries, so he also laughed and said: "Okay, then just follow what I said, stop following him for the time being, let him relax his vigilance, and then find an opportunity to take advantage of it."< br />
Everyone nodded and agreed with this statement.

"In addition, the Gao family is the one who needs to be monitored. They are the richest family in Jingzhou. If they really have the intention to rebel, they must be dealt with early and don't give them a chance to develop. ”

…

They started to talk about serious things. He Jiuniang felt that it had nothing to do with her, so she excused herself to the kitchen and asked someone to make milk tea, and left quickly. .

As soon as he left, Qin Jian punched him on the shoulder: "You can do it! If you had told me earlier, would you still have to suffer so much?"

Lu Baichuan knew that he had always owed Qin Jian an explanation for this matter, so he was willing to endure it, and then said: "I have my own reasons, I'm worried..."

"Okay It’s useless to talk about it now. You can just find your family anyway.”

Qin Jian interrupted him. In fact, he was just angry that his good brother didn’t tell him about family affairs, but After calming down and thinking about it, it actually doesn't matter. If it were him, he probably wouldn't tell them. Their identities are dangerous, and hiding their identities from their families is the greatest protection for them.

He continued: "I have one more important thing to say. This time His Highness asked me to go to the capital. Firstly, it was about Lin Yiping. Secondly, there was also the real person who was not simple. This matter I have told you in my letter before that the identity of this real person is not simple."

There are some things that cannot be explained clearly in the letter, and even if they can be explained clearly, you still have to worry about being intercepted. Hu, so many times we say half and half, only in person can we talk more comprehensively.

"The real Taoist name is Daoping. He happens to be 200 years old this year. He has white hair and a childish face. He is in good spirits and has a strong body. He claimed that he relied on the elixir he cultivated to prolong his life. The emperor was deceived and became dizzy. , I even stopped taking the elixir that I had been taking, and exclusively took the elixir given by Daoping Zhenren."

"His Royal Highness asked the imperial concubine in the palace, and the imperial concubine said that she was taking the medicine while serving the emperor. , and smelled that the pill had a strong smell of blood. The emperor knew it, but he pretended not to know, and never even asked where the elixir came from..."

There is no need for Qin Jian to explain the rest. Everyone knew that the emperor was pretending to be stupid, knowing thatThe origin of this elixir is unknown, and it even involves human lives. He still pretends to be dumbfounded. How can he behave like a king of a country?

Lu Baichuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.

He asked: "What do you think, Your Highness?"

"What else can you think? Your Highness went to the palace to have an audience and told the Emperor not to listen to the slanderous words of evil. Not only did the Emperor not listen to the advice, , and was so angry that he made His Highness kneel for a whole day, and was ridiculed by the Crown Prince and several other princes. However, His Highness Prince Lin also felt that His Highness was right and tried to persuade the Emperor a few words, but it had no effect. "

When Qin Jian said this, he sighed and continued: "Our Highness is not favored to begin with. I really don't understand why he wants to go. It's useless and he has to be punished. , Aren’t you asking for your own fault?”

At that time, he tried to persuade King Chen not to go, but King Chen didn’t listen, and went to live or die. He was even punished, and returned happily. The banquet brought him the wind.

Qin Jian didn’t understand and was greatly shocked.

Lu Baichuan thought for a while and said: "Your Highness did it on purpose."

No one would be willing to be punished, and King Chen is not the kind of person who has no scheming. Idiot, on the contrary, the fact that he can expand his power so much and have so many talented people under his command shows that his scheming is enough to support his ambitions.

This was one of the reasons why he decided to follow King Chen in the first place.

"What?"

Qin Jian couldn't believe it. He still didn't understand why.

Lu Baichuan explained: "Your Highness is trying to win over the people and prepare for the future."

Whether a dynasty can go far depends mainly on whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Now that the old emperor does not pay attention to people's livelihood issues, it will naturally not last long.

When the next emperor succeeds, several princes are eyeing it, and King Chen wants to take the opportunity to leave a lasting mark in the hearts of the people.

After all, no one is a fool, so why rush to collect the punishment?

Only then did Qin Jian react belatedly. No wonder he had been with His Highness since childhood, but was not promoted as quickly as Lu Baichuan. Firstly, it was because of his lack of ability, and secondly, because of his lack of brains. Yes, I can't imagine what's in His Highness's heart.

Lu Baichuan did not get too entangled in this matter, but talked about the group of women in Danzhu Tower.

“That brothel is not as simple as what we saw. The women who can come out to welcome guests in Jingzhou are all their own. They inquire about all kinds of information in the city, and they also abduct and sell girls from good families. They took blood, tortured them, sold them to brothels in other places, and even sold them to brothels in other places.A large number of people were sold to Dongting. "

"Currently, the people in Taoist Temple and Danzhu Tower are all members of Daoping Zhenren, which means they are all from Dongting. They have been in Beiyan for many years, and they dared to provoke under His Highness's nose. Firstly, they wanted to test His Highness's ability. Secondly, they also wanted to sow discord between His Highness and the Emperor. One day, when the Dong Chuang incident happened, they could also implicate His Highness and let the Emperor catch them all. ”

This is a strategy of killing two birds with one stone.

In Beiyan, the only one who can be trusted is King Chen. Once the emperor starts targeting King Chen, he will take back the power in his hands. , giving Dongting a good opportunity to attack. Beiyan will be defeated by then, and Dongting can take the opportunity to annex Beiyan and quickly expand its territory.

"These Dongting people also How hateful! I'm going to kill them now! "

Qin Jian was furious when he heard this. It would be fine if the demon was an ordinary Taoist priest, but he was obviously from Dongting, which simply violated the bottom line of all of them.

　This is a spy!

　“Come back! What's the use of killing them now? Instead, all the evidence was lost! ”

Lu Baichuan grabbed him with annoyance in his tone.

The reason he didn’t tell his family what happened was because he knew he couldn’t keep calm.
/>
There has been no progress at all in so many years.

Qin Jian smacked his lips twice, but he calmed down a lot, and then asked: "In that case, that demon is actually Not really two hundred years old? "

"Nonsense," Lu Baichuan glared at him, "Have you really seen anyone who is still alive and kicking at the age of two hundred? Have you forgotten that Lin Yiping is a person who can wear two masks? ”
