Chapter 722 Yes, I, Lin Qing, rebelled
The fishermen who lived on boats at the pier stepped out of their cabins one after another and looked northwest. They heard screams coming from the back mountain, and all of them felt cold sweat for the servants who lived in the Wangjia Villa.
Chu Pingsheng's boat and Xu Fengnian's boat are separated by a trestle. Ning Emei, who has been practicing in the morning, is on the left, and Zhao Fengya, who is breaking willows and cleaning her teeth, is on the right. The gaze that lasted for a cup of tea was broken by the news on the top of the mountain. The kidnapped Princess Liyang Like a proud winner, he held his head high and held his chest high, wiping his neck with his knife at the captain of Fengziying, staring blankly and sticking out his tongue, with a provocative look on his face.
Jiang Ni also saw the scene on the mountain. Li Chungang licked his face to seduce her and asked her if she wanted to learn swordsmanship. She would learn swordsmanship from him so that one day, she could level the mountain with one sword.
“I can’t even keep my third aunt safe, so what use are you.”
The sound is rolling, flying through the clouds and chasing the wind. One moment it is in the ears, and the next moment it is in the heart. The islanders who were drunk last night were awakened. They rushed out of the house in their pajamas and asked what was going on.
People outside Wang's manor didn't know what happened, and they speculated that it was related to the third concubine of the sword god in white. Wang Linquan and his three sons, and the younger daughter who was planning to commit suicide just learned from the doctor that the third wife of the Lin family did not carry it. Past, dead. But the problem is, she was obviously hurt by Lin Qing. Why did she anger the Purifying Bottle Guanyin statue on the top of the mountain?
Yesterday, it was still the behavior of disowning relatives, but today, the persona of being a loving mother and a filial son is established? What's going on?
Wang Linquan glanced at his crying little daughter, then a second time, and a third time.
……
After a stick of incense.
Wang Linquan had just finished listening to his second son's report and learned that most of the Houshan Garden was destroyed. He couldn't help but grit his teeth. He wanted to curse a few words and let out his anger, but he didn't want the sword fairy in white to fall from the sky and force all his anger back into his belly. He quickly changed his flattering face. He took the sword and watched the tea. He respectfully invited everyone to take a seat. He spoke sincerely and deeply regretted what happened to the third wife of the Lin family, as if he didn't know that the person who had done the cruel thing yesterday was Lin Tanhua, who was drinking tea with him.
This is so hypocritical that it's embarrassing.
Wang Linquan knew that this was not good, but he had no choice. Anyone who met such a moody, complicated master would be lucky to not be driven crazy.
"I chopped down the patron saint of Laoshan Island, and you don't seem angry at all?"
"It should be chopped, it should be chopped." Wang Linquan folded his hands and bowed, his long sleeves reaching to the ground: "As the Holy Spirit, I should have protected someone. The third lady is at the foot of the Guanyin statue. She usually eats fast and chants Buddha, and accumulates good results. Who would have thought that overnight He passed away suddenly, and he couldn’t benefit from three inches of land, let alone the eight hundred miles of Spring God Lake.”
Chu Pingsheng glanced at him and put down the tea cup with delicate enamel and great feel: "Wang Linquan, you sent your favorite daughter to my bed, which fully proved the Wang family's loyalty to the Lin family. Are you afraid that I won't trust you in the future? We have a relationship between husband and wife, why do we need to use such lies and empty words to maintain the relationship?”
"Ahem, the young master is right." Wang Linquan resisted the urge to scold her and said: "I just hope that the young master will take the same action as he just did in the future, and let me know in advance so that I can prepare early."
Chu Pingsheng pointed to the top of the mountain: "Why do you think I chopped down the statue of Guanyin?"
Wang Linquan said: "It is natural for the young master to do this."
In fact, he was very curious as to why Lin Qing could not get along with the statue of Guanyin. He had guessed that Lin Qing thought Wu Su was an eyesore. However, there was a problem. Lin Qing was still young when Wu Su died. According to common sense, it was impossible to distinguish the statue of Guanyin from Wu Su. Connected.
"I have to tell King Jingan Zhao Heng and the people of Qingzhou that I am back, and I have to show my attitude. The third lady passed away, and I chopped down the Guanyin statue on Laoshan Island. Zhao Heng killed all the men of the Lin family. I will not think that pretending to be innocent If you know, things can be turned around. I believe that what happened here will soon be reported to Prince Jing’s Mansion.”
"Sure enough, the young master has a long-term plan. This big news is worth it."
What Wang Linquan wanted was this effect. He was no longer distressed or angry, and his old face was rejuvenated.
"Big noise? What kind of big noise is this? Let's play bigger."
"Master?"
"Laoshan Island is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I think it is better to chop down the trees and raise the poles, point the sword at Tai'an, and destroy the Zhao family in Liyang."
Wang Linquan's gloomy old face trembled slightly and he took half a step back. He subconsciously pinched his sleeves and looked a little nervous. The purpose of Xu Xiao and Li Yishan was to arouse the conflict between Lin Qing and the imperial court, drag the Zhao family into trouble, and mobilize the power of the world to eliminate this big devil. However, he never expected that Lin Qing would directly step over and engage Zhao Heng and his son as the father of the Lin family. Ding's revenge was a direct step to rebellion.
"Isn't it too hasty?"
"Before, in Lingzhou, Xu Xiao was like a defeated dog in front of me. He didn't dare to go back to his family, didn't dare to avenge his revenge, and didn't dare to save his daughter. He even used you as a three-faced spy to rescue the female members of the Lin family and begged for peace. Now that the Wang family has recognized its master, there is a paradise like Spring God Lake eight hundred miles away. If there is no barrier, how can I be worthy of a loyal minister like you? When I destroy the Zhao family and conquer the world, your daughter will be the queen of the country, and you will be the founding father of the new dynasty. " "..."
Chu Pingsheng's face turned cold: "What? Wang Linquan, do you have the guts to offend Zhao Heng for me, but don't you have the guts to rebel for me? After that sword blow just now, do you think the Wang family's rescue of the Lin family's female relatives can be hidden from Zhao Heng?" ”
Wang Linquan took two steps back, his sleeves fell to the ground, and he knelt down and said, "It depends on the master's orders."
"Why does Lao Taishan need to perform such a great gift?"
Chu Pingsheng raised his right hand in vain, and Wang Linquan floated in the air, looking as ugly as a toad. He kicked his feet again and again, always half a foot away from the ground. Finally, he had to look over for help. The moody, angry face turned over. The boy who was still fast at reading just released his strength and allowed him to land.
"Tell your people in Xiangfan and ask them to spread the news. Say that Liyang is immoral, the Zhao family is immoral, and the Wang family on Laoshan Island is rebelling."
Chu Pingsheng patted him on the shoulder and walked outside: "You should know better than I do about finding wealth in danger."
Wang Linquan rolled up his sleeves and lowered his head, and sent the person outside. When no one was seen, he returned. He returned to the hall and sat down. He took a sip of tea to calm his nerves. When he touched his back, he found that his robe had collapsed. The situation was indeed developing in a direction that the Xu family would like to see, but he felt a deep anxiety in his heart. It was like a moving carriage, going in the right direction, but too fast to be controlled by the driver.
……
Two days later.
Xiangfan city is connected to Chunshen Lake in the north, which is the gateway to Western Chu. Before Liyang conquered the six countries, Xishu was in the northwest of Chunshen Lake, Nanzhao was in the southeast, and Liyang was in the northeast. Several countries had frictions and wars frequently, and Xiangfan was therefore It has always been regarded as the strategic center of military strategists in Western Chu, and is known as the waist of the world. Xu Xiao led his troops to march south, and there was a chaotic battle with Western Shu and Western Chu. Wang Mingyang, an old minister of Western Chu, was ordered to face the danger and defended the danger for three years. Western Chu died and Western Shu died, but he still refused to surrender as a sign of determination. Cooking your wife and eating your children will make you strong Defending until the city was finally broken, less than 10,000 of the more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians survived. Since then, he has been rated as the best defender in the world. Some people admire his loyalty and bravery, while others accuse him of risking his life for fame and losing all conscience. In short, he has a mixed reputation. .
The imperial court did not prohibit Liyang people from wearing Beimang-style clothes and popular Beimang-style songs and dances. Some people used the name of the world's best guard general to do business, which was natural, so Mingyang Tower became the most prosperous place in Xiangfan City. Restaurants are the first choice for literati, martial artists, dignitaries and dignitaries to entertain guests and friends, because you can sit in the building and gaze at the sky, drink wine and reminisce. Historical stories are very popular and everyone loves them.
In the elegant room of Qingzhu No., a man with a weak crown looked far away from the window and saw two fishermen pushing a cart into the city. In the wooden barrel were one carp after another from Spring God Lake. Several women who were greedy for cheap gathered around the cart to bargain for prices. For two cents you can spit three bowls of saliva.
"Have you heard? That Lin Tanhua who caused a lot of trouble in Bei Ming came to Qingzhou and is now on Laoshan Island in Chunshen Lake."
Opposite the Lunjin Feather Fan, a thin man who had studied Neo-Confucianism at Shangyin Academy for two years said: "I heard that Wang Linquan, who is responsible for managing the property of King Jing'an, was a spy placed by the Lin family next to King Jing'an. Now Lin Qing, the only remaining male member of the Lin family, returns. He surrenders to his master along with the female members of the Lin family who were rescued earlier, and severely manipulates the prince. "
"The news about you two is out of date." Facing the window, but with no view of the street, there is a bearded man sitting. His long coat is white and wrinkled, and his boots are speckled with mud. He seems to be the most troubled among the three, and also the most vulnerable. A greedy drinker, half a catty of Wuliang wine drank 70%: "The Wang family in Laoshan has raised the flag of rebellion and wants to fight against the imperial court with Lin Qing."
The expressions of the two men changed: "Is this true?"
"Can I lie to you about this? The fishermen who are making a living in Chunshen Lake have received notice from the Qingzhou Navy and are not allowed to approach Laoshan Island in the near future. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences."
The weak-headed man and the skinny man looked at each other in shock. They thought that Wang Linquan would cause trouble to Prince Jing'an at most by seeking refuge in Lin Qing. Wang Linquan must have the palace's shady secrets in his hands. If things got ugly, the Liyang Zhao family Maybe it will give the Qingdang a step down, Zhao Heng and his son were severely punished. After all, Prime Minister Zhang Julu had always advocated the reduction of the vassal. As long as the Beimang army did not move, Qilin Zhenren and Lin Qing could not challenge the bottom line of the royal family by joining forces. Now Wang Linquan directly raised the flag of rebellion, which was like stabbing the Liyang royal family in the heart. Knife, there is no room for change.
The weak-headed man called it absurd. In Qingzhou, the name Wang Linquan was a gold-lettered signboard, a model of successful businessman. According to Xian Laoshan Island Rebellion, a business that was destined to lose money, how could he do it?
"I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Lin gave Wang Linquan. He is so insane."
The bearded man burped a wine that did not smell like peas: "Wang Linquan wants to marry his youngest daughter to him."
"Wang Chudong? Wang Chudong, who wrote poems at the age of six and wrote about Snow in the East Chamber at the age of fifteen. It is said that all the empresses in the harem came to urge the manuscript? He is crazy. Wang Linquan must be crazy. Why does he think that Lin Qing can be with the Zhao family? Fighting for supremacy? If the Beimang Imperial Master Qilin can overthrow Liyang, where will Beimang need to send troops to the border? ”
The bearded man seemed not to have heard the thin man's analysis. His face turned red and he was panting. His upper body swayed slightly. He leaned towards the table and knocked over half a glass of wine dripping with vegetable oil. A beech wood chopstick with the word "Ming Yang" engraved on the head rolled over. He got off the dining table and dropped to the floor.
