Chapter 68

Feng Yuanchong looked at Lin Ziran, although he made it clear, his forbearing expression showed that he was not willing, and Feng Yuanchong became more and more unhappy, do you like him so much?

Unfortunately, alone is not allowed.

Feng Yuanchong let go of his hand suddenly, and said slowly, "You just need to understand."

Then turn around and leave.

Lin Ziran respectfully sent Feng Yuanchong away, and only when he disappeared did he look happy. He didn't expect the protagonist Gongshou's relationship to go so smoothly!

Great, great!

Lin Ziran's appetite has improved recently, and his meals are delicious.

Since Feng Yuanchong warned him that day, he will not always pull him to be a light bulb. It's great not to have to watch the door when the boss is picking up girls. Lin Ziran doesn't even go to Qi Xuan's place. After all, the boss I have already spoken, I have to keep it in my heart even if I love it again!

When the emperor is like this, he can do whatever he wants, and he can deal with his rival with a single order. As long as he wants, no one in the whole world can compete with him.

I can only "reluctantly give up love".

But Lin Ziran would not naively think that Feng Yuanchong fell in love with Qi Xuan now, the emperor's sincerity is not so easy to get, Qi Xuan still has a long way to go, but at least Feng Yuanchong should have taken a fancy to him Well, love can also start with the face, he believes that Qi Xuan can handle Feng Yuanchong with his beauty and talent!

Lin Ziran was rarely at ease these days.

Until he received a piece of information, he suddenly showed a toothache expression!

His subordinates investigated and found that Zheng Jitong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, had hidden anti-poems in his home, insinuating that the current emperor's throne had come from a wrong path.

It's a long story.

When the first emperor was still there, although Feng Yuanchong was born by the queen, he was not named the prince. The first emperor loved the noble concubine and wanted to make the son of the noble concubine the crown prince. So at that time the court was divided into two factions, one faction supported the empress to force the former emperor to make his son a prince, and the other faction supported the emperor no matter who the emperor appointed, and the son of the imperial concubine was also very good, the two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

It is difficult to explain the struggle process in a few words.

In short, on the eve of the establishment of the crown prince, the son of the noble concubine died of an accidental fall from the horse, and the noble concubine hanged herself in grief. Not long after the former emperor loved the noble concubine, she became seriously ill and stayed in bed. He died without a candidate for the crown prince... There is no legitimate heir, and After a fierce fight, Feng Yuanchong, as the queen's son, succeeded in ascending to the throne by relying on his powerful relatives and his own scheming.

Three years after he ascended the throne, except for Feng Yuanji, who had been raised by the empress since he was a child and had a deep bond with him, all the other brothers fell ill and died, and there was no one left.

Because most of those who opposed him died under Li Ji's hands.

This is why Li Ji is notorious in the capital.

Feng Yuanchong looks gentle and generous on the surface, but he is not a soft-hearted emperor. Even though the description of these things in the script is very brief and only focuses on the sadomasochistic relationship between him and the protagonist, Lin Ziran will never think that he can only talk about in love.

He has been tricked by garbage scripts more than once!

Maybe the reason why Feng Yuanchong kept Feng Yuanji was only because Feng Yuanji's biological mother came from a humble background, died long ago and did not threaten him, and was helpful and obedient to him, so he left this harmless prince...

All in all, Feng Yuanchong's throne was not so justified, his words were fearsome, and he was burdened with rumors of slaughtering brothers. It can be seen that there are actually quite a few people who secretly oppose him.

However, in recent years, Feng Yuanchong has secured this position, and few people dare to mention many things in the past.

It had been a long time since even Li Ji had encountered an official of Zheng Shangshu's level involved in such a matter.

But if you encounter it, you can't ignore it.

Otherwise, it would not be Zheng Shangshu who died, but himself.

These are all things that are not in the script, but they are Li Ji's daily work and job, no matter what...

Lin Ziran sighed, called his confidant Zhang Yu over, and ordered, "During your investigation, you didn't startle the snake, did you?"

Zhang Yu had a baby face, with dimples when he smiled, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, we are very careful."

Lin Ziran pondered for two seconds, then nodded, with a cold look in his eyes, "Arrange manpower, I want none of these rebels to escape tonight."

Zhang Yu said, "Yes!"

Seeing Zhang Yu leave, Lin Ziran paced back and forth in the room, doing mental training for himself, facing this plot was more nervous than facing Feng Yuanchong's acting.

You must know that all of his subordinates are cruel and merciless.

Tonight must be a massacre.

If I can't act well, I don't need the protagonists to find out, and this group of NPCs can tear me apart.

Lin Ziran breathed out slowly, comforting himself that it was just a plot, this is not a modern society, it was just a game, and writing anti-poetry in ancient times was a matter of losing one's head, it had nothing to do with right or wrong, it was just a matter of different positions.

Zheng Shangshu must also have this awareness.

At midnight, the bright moon hangs high.

Zheng's house was pitch black, and everyone had turned off the lights to rest.

They didn't know that someone had quietly surrounded the place.

Lin Ziran dismounted when he was still 100 meters away from Zheng's house, and landed quietly. The subordinates around him were all dressed up, with the blades in their hands glowing coldly, and they sneaked in easily.

Lin Ziran didn't go in, he stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, looking enigmatic.

Just leave the fighting and killing to the younger brothers.

Zhang Yu cupped his hands and asked, "Master, do you want to do it now?"

Lin Ziran nodded.

Zhang Yu ordered, kicked open the door and rushed in!

The lights inside quickly turned on, and then there were bursts of panic and fear, as well as the sound of swords and swords and fighting... Lin Ziran couldn't help but tense up.

Fortunately, I am a big leader, so I don't need to do the work myself, otherwise it would be really difficult to do it.

Lin Ziran stood there with a straight face, motionless.

It looks very stylish!

After about a quarter of an hour, the commotion inside subsided.

Zhang Yu trotted out all the way, and bowed to Lin Ziran respectfully, "My lord, you can go in now."

Lin Ziran glanced at the hem of his robe. No blood could be seen on the black clothes at night, but the blood dripped on the ground along the hem of the clothes, splashing red flowers one by one. This is not Zhang Yu's blood, but the Zheng family's blood. Blood.

Lin Ziran took a deep breath, and finally walked in.

Not all of them were over yet, and many Jinyi guards searched everywhere to ensure that no one was missed, but the search was coming to an end, and Zheng Jitong had already been captured.

All the rebels were killed without mercy, and some servants were killed by mistake, causing the yard to be littered with corpses, and the nose was full of the smell of blood.

Lin Ziran tried not to look at the corpses around him, but focused on the old man in front of him.

Zheng Ji was nearly seventy years old, gray-haired, and described as embarrassed but unyielding. Lin Ziran looked at the profile, he was an old minister who usually seemed very honest, but he didn't expect him to be secretly rebellious.

Lin Ziran looked down at him, the corners of his lips were icy cold, and said, "Master Zheng still has accomplices, if you confess directly, I can let you pay for your merits."

Zheng Jitong sneered, and looked at him with indifference and disdain, "This old man did it by himself, without any accomplices."

Lin Ziran showed a regretful expression, and politely persuaded him, "Why resist, you know what to say now, it's still too late. With your old bones, you won't be able to get out of the imperial prison."

Zheng Jitong snorted coldly and stopped talking.

It seems to be a tough one, but generally this kind of people are not afraid of death, Lin Ziran just asked as a matter of routine, and did not expect Zheng Jitong to really explain anything.

He lightly told Zhang Yu, "Take them all away."

Zhang Yu said, "Yes."

Soon someone came and took Zheng Jitong and his children away, including a few children, probably Zheng Jitong's grandchildren, all of them were crying, which made Lin Ziran feel a little heavy.

But this shouldn't be the time when his sympathy is overflowing. He is the emperor's man, so he has to eliminate dissidents for him. It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing... It's nothing more than winner and loser.

In the era when the monarchy was supreme, choosing this path would have to pay a price.

Lin Ziran strolled in the courtyard, thinking casually in his heart, does Zheng Jitong have any accomplices? Or did he write anti-poems to ridicule Feng Yuanchong simply because he couldn't get used to him?

It's all possible...

It would be best if there were no accomplices, otherwise this matter would be a big deal. Lin Ziran thought about it, and there was no relevant content described in the follow-up script. This case should be closed like this, without causing any trouble. Zheng Jitong must have not explained anything. .

He took a few steps forward, looked around pretendingly, and when he was about to go back, he suddenly stepped on something under his feet.

Looking down, it is a small rattle. This is a child's toy. I am afraid that some child dropped it in the panic just now... There is a rockery next to it. Lin Ziran glanced casually, and suddenly met a pair of black eyes , I was so scared that I held my breath!

Taking a closer look, it turns out that there is a very hidden small hole in the rockery, but the front is covered with weeds to block it, revealing the child's eyes faintly.

Those eyes, pitch-black, just looked at him like this...

Lin Ziran gasped, what a fish that slipped through the net!

The rattle should have been dropped by this kid.

Lin Ziran remained motionless, he was a little afraid of disturbing the child, if he made a sound out of fear...

At this moment, Zhang Yu ran over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "My lord, the Zheng family has a total of 129 people, and the subordinates have found 128 people, and there is still a little granddaughter of Zheng Jitong left?" turn up."

Little granddaughter? Still a girl?

Lin Ziran was nervous, he clenched his hands slightly, showing a condensed expression, and said in a deep voice, "Keep looking."

Zhang Yu: "Yes."

Then Lin Ziran stood there waiting, quietly blocking the entrance of the rockery.

Another half an hour later, Zhang Yu came back to report. He said very ashamedly, "The subordinates have turned this place upside down, but they can't find it..."

Lin Ziran looked at him coldly, "Trash."

Zhang Yu's face turned pale, "My lord, forgive me..."

Lin Ziran stared at him for a long time, and said, "Forget it, a little girl can't find any waves in the film, so pack it up and go back."

Zhang Yu immediately said, "Yes."

Lin Ziran saw everyone leave, just in case, he was the last one to leave, from the beginning to the end, he never looked back at the entrance of the cave.

The Zheng family returned to a dead silence.

Quiet like nothing happened.

An hour later, a man in black quietly appeared here. He was dressed in black and blended into the night, with a ghost mask on his face.

He walked vigorously on the eaves, checked around, and finally came to the rockery, reached out and hugged the little girl out of the cave.

In order not to scare the child, he took off his mask, showed a soothing expression, and said softly, "It's me, don't be afraid."

The girl was picked up by the man, and the fear that had been suppressed for a long time poured out completely, and she burst into tears, "Uncle Yuanji..."

The person who came was Feng Yuanji!

Feng Yuanji looked at the girl, his stern face softened at the moment.

He patted the child's head lightly, while comforting her, while looking at the tragic situation around him, sullen color slowly appeared in his eyes, this group of people...

Xiaojun hugged Feng Yuanji's neck tightly with her small arms. She was terrified just now, thinking that her parents and brothers and sisters were all taken away, she was out of breath crying, "Uncle Yuanji, I I'm so scared, I'm the only one left..."

Feng Yuanji suppressed the anger in his heart, and comforted softly, "Xiaojun is a brave child, uncle will take you back now."

Xiaojun nodded with tears in her eyes, she thought for a while, and said weakly, "I thought I would never see you again, Uncle, there was someone who found me, and I thought I couldn't escape...but He didn't say anything, and left as if he didn't see me..."

Feng Yuanji was stunned, a little surprised, his expression turned cold: "Oh? There is such a thing?"

Xiao Jun nodded, "Well... they all call him an adult, and they all listen to him. He looks very powerful, but he just left and ignored me. It's really strange..."

Feng Yuanji's whole body tensed up to the extreme, his first reaction was that this was a conspiracy!

The only one who can be called an adult by those people is Li Ji, and Li Ji should come to sit in person tonight.

But he obviously found Xiaojun but didn't expose her, but left her here. Could it be a trap aimed at himself? The purpose is to draw yourself out?

Feng Yuanji knew that he shouldn't put himself in danger, but Mr. Zheng had always taken great care of him, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, so even though he knew it was dangerous, he still came here to see if he could save someone.

Seeing Feng Yuanji's complexion changed drastically, Xiao Jun asked in confusion, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

Feng Yuanji's thoughts changed rapidly, and soon, his tense body slowly relaxed again. If this was really a trap, from the moment he appeared just now, he should have been surrounded by Jin Yiwei!

It is impossible to wait until now and not act.

The surroundings were calm and calm, and he checked carefully when he came, and there was no sign of an ambush at all.

Could it be...

Li Ji was really just being soft-hearted for a moment, and kindly let this child go?

But how is this possible?

Feng Yuanji has known Li Ji for a long time, and he knows that he is loyal to Feng Yuanchong, meticulous and ruthless, which should not be something he would do at all...

Why is he doing this?

………………

Lin Ziran returned home and collapsed on his bed...

Hey, if this kind of thing happens a few more times, I will be very tired.

It's better to hurry up and follow the plot of the emotional drama!

Lin Ziran didn't sleep very well that night. For a while, he dreamed of the eyes of the child in the cave, and for a while he dreamed of the scene of corpses strewn all over the yard. When he woke up the next day, his spirit was a little bit low.

But he still had to go to court before dawn.

When the court meeting was over, Lin Ziran could not leave. As Feng Yuanchong's confidant, he was going to report to Feng Yuanchong.

What happened yesterday was no small matter!

Lin Ziran came to the imperial study, and he handed over the book written by his subordinates respectfully, saying, "Zheng Jitong has pleaded guilty, but he refused to confess that he has accomplices."

Feng Yuanchong's expression was calm. After reading the scriptures, he said calmly, "Then continue to check, there will always be clues."

Lin Ziran: "Yes."

After Feng Yuanchong ordered this matter, he took a deep look at Lin Ziran. Since he left Qi Mansion that day, this man has been very obedient and never went to see Qi Xuan again, which makes him quite satisfied, but you really don't like it at all. Do you understand what I mean...

Lin Ziran didn't know what Feng Yuanchong was thinking, he said, "I will resign."

Feng Yuanchong nodded.

Lin Ziran left the palace and let out a soft breath.

I have to keep checking, I have a headache...

Forget it, leave this matter to your subordinates. In the past, many things about Li Ji were also handed over to your subordinates.

It shouldn't be able to find anything anyway.

………………

Lin Ziran really didn't want to go to places like imperial prison, but he still took time to go there a few times in the past two days, saying that he was still very responsible and didn't let go of it completely.

The air there is uncomfortable.

It's like hell on earth.

This day Lin Ziran left the imperial prison, he thought it better to relax and have a delicious meal to comfort himself, this Dasheng Dynasty is very prosperous, and he was too busy before to take a good look around.

Lin Ziran went to one of the most famous restaurants in the capital, just like when he travels around the world, he likes to go to those famous scenic spots to check in. He went there with excitement and anticipation...

It turned out to be really unlucky, as soon as he entered, he saw his deadly enemy, Feng Yuanji.

Feng Yuanji and a few of his subordinates were sitting there drinking.

Unfortunately, Feng Yuanji also saw him...

Lin Ziran hesitated for a moment, blaming the restaurant he came to is too famous, the probability of bumping into important characters is too high, if Feng Yuanji didn't see him, he could turn his head and leave as if he didn't see him, but Feng Yuanji has already Seeing him...wouldn't it appear that he was afraid of him if he turned around and left?

Feng Yuanji and Li Ji had never dealt with each other. Although Li Ji would not take the initiative to provoke him, he was never afraid of him.

If he avoided Feng Yuanji, he would appear abnormal...

Lin Ziran took a deep breath, went up to the second floor as if he hadn't seen him, and asked Xiao Er to serve him wine and food.

He looked out the window and drank by himself.

Feng Yuanji slowly retracted his gaze, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Several of his subordinates also saw Lin Ziran, and all of them showed expressions of disgust and resentment. The Zheng family was raided the day before yesterday, and the whole family was shut down to death. Mr. Zheng heard that it was no longer possible...

Only Feng Yuanji looked calm.

He had already settled Zheng Jun, and everything went smoothly, and no one tracked him down. It seemed that Lin Ziran was merciful and let the child go... This person seems to be a little different from what he thought.

His heart didn't seem so cold.

You must know that it is risky to let Zheng Jun and Lin Ziran go. Feng Yuanchong is definitely not a person who is easy to fool. If he can't find Zheng Jun in the end, with his suspicious character, he will eventually suspect Lin Ziran... ...Did Lin Ziran really make a mistake or did it on purpose? Why did he let the kid go? Did he have a different heart? Did he secretly collude with himself?

These years, I have been cautious, staying away from the capital, deliberately pretending to be ridiculous, lest I make a mistake, but even so, Feng Yuanchong is still on guard against him.

The consequences of letting Zheng Jun go are very serious, Lin Ziran will not be ignorant, but he still did it...

Feng Yuanji's expression changed for a moment, and he suddenly got up and stood up.

Lin Ziran was drinking well, when suddenly a man sat across from him. He had deep eyebrows and a sharp face, but this handsome face had a frivolous smile on his face, and he said jokingly, "Master Li recently Very majestic."

Lin Ziran didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Feng Yuan is very expensive as a prince, and he can't beat or scold him. Although he is not afraid of him, he finds it hard to get angry with him.

Feng Yuanji didn't mind Lin Ziran's indifferent attitude. He looked deeply at Lin Ziran, and suddenly reached out and snatched the wine glass from his hand, then drank it down in one gulp, looking at him with dark eyes, "beauty drink!" The taste of wine is different.”

Lin Ziran "..."

I go, indirect kissing! Isn't this guy teasing him?

You are sick and looking for troubles for Qi Xuan, why are you looking for me?

Feng Yuanji had a playful smile in his eyes, looked at him and said slowly, "By the way, I heard that Brother Huang often goes to Qi Xuan's place recently. Although you are also a beauty, you are still far behind Qi Xuan... ...It seems that this time it is really going to fall out of favor..."

Lin Ziran's tone was calm, "I don't need to bother my lord."

He stood up and was about to leave, but when he was passing by, Feng Yuanji suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him down, directly pressing him into his arms!

Lin Ziran suddenly showed anger, and before he had time to fight back, Feng Yuanji pinched his chin and kissed him!

Lin Ziran suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Forgot to react for a moment.

I'll go, brother, please pay attention! This is ancient times, this is a restaurant, this is a public place!

And what's wrong with you, just kiss someone else if you don't agree with each other!

Are we on good terms?

Wait, after careful analysis, it is absolutely impossible for Feng Yuanji to kiss him because he likes him. From what he said just now, it can be seen that he is belittling himself in public to embarrass him!

And with Li Ji's character, he should be extremely disgusted by being treated like this by a man!

So you should be angry.

Feng Yuanji bit his lip, with a look of lingering, he laughed hoarsely, "Brother Huang's taste is really good, no wonder he has been favored for so many years, you must have served him very well..."

He deliberately said the word 'serve' very slowly, with deep meaning and allusion.

It would be shameless for Lin Ziran not to be angry, his face was full of anger, he swung Feng Yuanji away abruptly, drew out his saber and pointed it at him! The hand holding the knife trembled slightly, as if wishing to kill this person directly the next moment!

Feng Yuanji's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled reassuringly, "It's your honor for me to see you, why are you so angry?"

………………

Feng Yuanchong was sitting in the imperial study room, and the deputy commander had just returned from the imperial prison and delivered the latest confession.

The Zheng family missed one person that night.

It was Zheng Jitong's youngest granddaughter, Zheng Jun. Her nanny couldn't help but recruited everything, saying that Zheng Jun was at Zheng's house that night, but facing Jin Yiwei's net, a little girl was missed. This should not have happened. matter.

Zheng Jun is not important, what is important is... who let her go?

Why let her go?

Feng Yuanchong's eyes gradually turned cold. Li Ji had never made such an obvious mistake before. He has been in charge of Jinyiwei for many years, and all his subordinates are his people. How could he not even catch a five-year-old girl?

I have always trusted him, but people's hearts are fickle. Who can guarantee that he will always be loyal to me?

Feng Yuanchong felt a little depressed when he thought of this.

Li Ji...will he really not betray himself?

Moreover, he seems to have gotten a little closer to Feng Yuanji recently...the last time he met at Cheng Enhou's Mansion...

Knock, knock, knock at the door.

Feng Yuanchong said in a deep voice, "Come in."

The eunuch Pei Gao trotted in, came to Feng Yuanchong's side, and whispered for a while.

Feng Yuanchong seemed very surprised, "Is this true?"

Pei Gao nodded, "It's absolutely true. Many people have seen it. King Jing humiliated Master Li in public, and they almost started fighting! Now there are a lot of discussions everywhere."

Feng Yuanchong's expression gradually softened.

Because Li Ji has a face that provokes criticism, and was coveted by others when he was young, he hated others for treating him like this, so he developed a cold-hearted temperament, and now he probably hates Feng Yuanji very much... …

The two of them have always been at loggerheads, even if they are acting, it shouldn't be like this, maybe it's because they think too much.

Li Ji will not betray him...

Feng Yuanchong frowned, shook his head and sighed, "Brother Gu Na is getting more and more ridiculous."

Pei Gao smiled and said, "That's right, I haven't learned the slightest bit of your stability, Your Majesty."

Feng Yuanchong is noncommittal, his younger brother is indeed absurd, but sometimes, he feels that he is not so simple...

And thinking of what Feng Yuanji did, Feng Yuanchong felt a little unhappy. Although he has always condoned the confrontation between the two, he didn't want to see Li Ji being touched by others...

Feng Yuanchong said in a deep voice, "It is said that Li Ji entered the palace to see Gu."
