Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 294 Qin Jian didn’t understand and was shocked

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 just didn't want him to go on the mission injured, so he also laughed and said: "Okay, then just do what I said, stop following him for the time being, let him relax his vigilance, and then find an opportunity to catch something. .”

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 talking about serious things. He Jiuniang felt that it had nothing to do with her, so she excused herself to go to the kitchen and let someone 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 always owed Qin Jian an explanation for this matter, so he was willing to take the pain, and then said: "I have my own reasons. I'm worried..."

"Okay, it's useless to talk about it now. Anyway, just find your family."

Qin Jian interrupted him. In fact, he was just angry that his good brother didn't tell him about his family affairs. But when he calmed down and thought about it, it actually didn't matter. If it were him, he probably wouldn't tell them. Their identities were dangerous, and it was difficult to hide them. Being a family member is the greatest protection for them.

He continued: "I have one more important thing to say. His Highness asked me to go to the capital this time. Firstly, it was about Lin Yiping. Secondly, the real person was not simple. I told him about this in my letter before. You said that this real person’s identity is not simple.”

Some things cannot be explained clearly in letters, and even if they can be explained clearly, they still have to worry about being intercepted, so they often say half and leave half, and only in person can they fully explain things.

"The real Taoist name is Daoping. He happens to be [-] years old this year. He has a white hair and a childish face. He is in good spirits and in good health. He claims that he relies on the elixir he cultivated to prolong his life. The emperor was so deceived that he even lost the golden elixir he had been eating. Stop and just take the elixir given by Master Daoping."

"His Royal Highness asked the imperial concubine in the palace. The imperial concubine said that when she was waiting for the emperor to take the medicine, she smelled the strong smell of blood in the pill. The emperor knew it, but he pretended not to know and never even asked about the elixir. Where it comes from..."

It didn't take Qin Jian to tell the others who knew that the emperor was pretending to be stupid. He knew that the origin of the elixir was unknown and even involved human lives, but he still pretended to be stupid. How could 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?"

"How else can you see it? Your Highness went to the palace to have an audience and asked the Emperor not to listen to the evil slander. Not only did the Emperor not listen to the advice, he was furious and made His Highness kneel for a whole day. He was also laughed at by the Crown Prince and several other princes. His Highness Prince Lin also felt that our Highness was right, so he 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 in the first place. I really don't understand why he still wants to go. It is of no use and he has to be punished. Isn't this asking for his own sin?" ?”

At that time, he persuaded King Chen not to go, but King Chen didn't listen. He went to death or even received a punishment. When he came back, he happily held a banquet to welcome him.

Qin Jian didn't understand and was shocked.

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

No one is willing to be punished, and King Chen is not the kind of fool who has no scheming. On the contrary, the fact that he can expand his power so much and have so many capable people under his command shows that he is scheming 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: "His 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, naturally he will not last long.

The next emperor will succeed, and 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 he was a child, but he was not promoted as quickly as Lu Baichuan. Firstly, it was because of his lack of ability, and secondly, because he did not have enough brains to understand His Highness's heart.

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

"That brothel is not as simple as what we saw. The women who can come out to welcome customers in Jingzhou are all their own. They inquire about all kinds of information in the city, and they also kidnap and sell women from good families, take their blood and torture them, and sell other A large number of people in local brothels were even 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 dare to provoke under His Highness's nose. Firstly, I want to test His Highness’ abilities, and secondly, I want to sow discord between His Highness and the Emperor, so that one day when the incident comes to light, I can 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 relied on is King Chen. Once the emperor starts to target King Chen and takes back his power, Dongting will have a good opportunity to attack. By then, Beiyan will be defeated, and Dongting will be able to Take the opportunity to annex Beiyan and quickly expand your territory.

"These Dongting people are so 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, you'll destroy all the evidence!"

Lu Baichuan grabbed him with annoyance in his tone.

I didn't tell him what happened to his family in the first place because I knew he couldn't keep calm.

There has been no progress in all these years.

Qin Jian smacked his lips twice, but he calmed down a lot, and then asked: "So, that demon is 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?"
