Chapter 56: The Lin Mansion Asks for Strategies

King Rong has been in a very good mood these days, and all the people lurking in Jiangzhou have moved, and have firmly grasped several important positions in the Jiangzhou army. In a few days, Princess Rena of the Western Regions will be recruited by her young man, and her young Junyan has already prepared and is waiting to take over the Western Regions for her own use.

Now that Li Tai has been eliminated and Jiangzhou has been taken down, the relationship with the Later Party is no longer eased. King Rong has already let his subordinates take action secretly, preparing to gradually erode the power of Empress Dowager Xuan Shu.

As Lin Mo said, Jiangzhou was traveling across the river from Zhangzhou. It can be said that it was a dangerous city that could advance, attack, retreat and defend. It was also the primary pass for various vassal states in the north to enter the royal fiefdom. With Lin Mo's help, Jiangzhou was not many times taken. King Rong had already woken up from his dream and laughed at Empress Dowager Xuan Shu and Xuan Shu.

But what King Rong did not expect was that those who laughed at him would always laugh at him. Only then did he feel proud of him for not many days, but he was very troubled. Although the situation was not that serious, it was enough to make him feel like a big head and he was no longer in the mood to watch the jokes of the people of the Later Party.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, Your Highness, King Rong! Please, my family is just like this, Yan'er, you must find a way to save him! Please!" Cao Yuan, a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, knelt in King Rong's study, begging with tears.

After Cao Yuan's son Cao Yan killed Jian Ying, the son of Jian Wencheng, the doctor of the Ministry of War, and although he successfully escaped home under the escort of two guards, Jian Wencheng was such a person that he reported this matter to the imperial court today.

Cao Yan killed Jian Wencheng not only many people saw it, but also Zhenyuan Bo Hou Ping also saw it. In order to prevent the two sides from fighting, he brought the guards to him and were killed and injured. So many people died in the Fantasy Music House at once, and one of them was the son of the Ministry of War. This matter had already caused a storm and rain in the city, and this matter was already as proof as a mountain.

The matter was in front of the emperor, and now the whole city is talking about this matter again. Cao Yuan forced himself to hand over Cao Yan and was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Fortunately, Meng Yan, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, was his own, so he didn't make much trouble for Cao Yan.

Cao Yan's matter has been sentenced, and he was sentenced to death after the beginning of spring.

Although he was determined to save Cao Yan, Cao Yan's affairs were for sure. The people of the Later Party were staring at him, and the people were also looking at him. King Rong was also powerless, but how could Cao Yuan be willing to be killed by his son? He immediately came to ask King Rong to find a way.

Cao Yuan, a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, was very young and strong. Every year, King Rong brought in a lot of money without knowing his knowledge, allowing King Rong to unknowingly cultivate many useful people and also provide for a private army.

Cao Yuan is simply the treasure pot that King Rong loves the most. He can be said to be the one with the limbs of King Rong. Therefore, King Rong did not dare to ignore it, so he had to face it.

The incident happened in Huanyuefang, Shihua Street. Xu Qiuniang also arranged a lot of spies and confidants there. Soon the detailed incident of the murder was reported to King Rong.

When he heard that the person was killed in public, even the people from Zhenyuan Bo had killed a lot. It was a case of iron evidence that there were so many evidences and evidences as oxen and drizzle. King Rong couldn't help but struggle. He frowned and paced indoors, with a gloomy face and did not speak.

According to the usual methods in the past, King Rong sent practitioners in the mansion to kill the witness, but there were too many people who witnessed it and it had already spread throughout the city, so it naturally didn't work, so he was anxious.

"Your Highness, King Rong!" Cao Yan saw that King Rong's face was so gloomy that he didn't speak, and immediately became more anxious. He wiped his tears again. He kowtowed while trembling, and said, "I know that he has no way to teach his children, and Yan'er has indeed caused a great disaster. But I hope your highness will thank you for your loyalty to you for many years. I am nearly fifty years old and have only one son. I only hope that your highness will save my son's life!"

King Rong glanced at him coldly, feeling very upset, and wanted to scold him, but thinking that Cao Yuan had done his job beautifully for so many years, Cao Yan was his fatal point, so he couldn't get angry.

Besides, King Rong has always used the method of showing kindness to his subordinates. He then slowed down his voice and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Cao Yuan, how can you tell me that you are good? Huanghuang Emperor Capital, how can your son be so arrogant? It would be fine if he beats a commoner to death!"

"But the one who was killed was Jian Wencheng's son! Who is Jian Wencheng? He is a second-rank doctor of the Ministry of War and a confidant of Empress Dowager Xuan Shu's party. This matter has spread throughout the imperial capital. So many eyes are staring at you and me. How do you want me to help you?"

Cao Yuan knocked on the ground with a thud and cried, "The emperor knows that this is a difficult situation for Your Highness, but Yan'er will be beheaded after the spring is coming. The emperor begs you, you must think of a solution for the emperor! Your Highness, you are the King Rong, go and ask the empress dowager to ask for peace with the empress dowager and discuss it, and ask the empress dowager to order Jian Wencheng not to pursue this matter."

As soon as this was said, King Rong immediately said angrily: "You said it easily. Now that we and Xuan Shu are in the same situation as each other. She lost Jiangzhou. Will she be willing to make peace now?"

"Okay, even if that woman Xuan Shu is willing to make peace with us, what about Jian Wencheng? Jian Ying is also Jian Wencheng's only son. How could he be willing? Didn't you see Jian Wencheng's attitude in the court today?"

The court was very lively today. Cao Yan was sentenced to beheading and death. Jian Wencheng was going to serve as the decree. In front of the emperor and the ministers, he said to Cao Yuan directly: "Mr. Cao, I will definitely return your son's head to you in person."

Thinking of Jian Wencheng's extremely angry and cruel look, Cao Yuan's heart was shocked, and the fat on his body trembled again, and then he kowtowed wildly: "Your Highness Rong, you must save Yan'er." He knocked his head out of blood.

Seeing Cao Yuan like this, King Rong sighed in his heart, helped him up with his own hands, and comforted him: "Mr. Cao, don't be so panicked, you can mess up your own innocence. If the young master is not beheaded immediately, there will definitely be a solution."

Cao Yuan was quite dissatisfied with the unpainful comfort of King Rong, but he did not dare not give King Rong face. He immediately stopped crying and replied sadly: "It's a humble position that has been messed up. Please think more about Yan'er's affairs. After you become an official, you will definitely do your best to do your job for you."

Cao Yuan is also an old fox guy. The hidden meaning in this sentence is very clear. If my son, King Rong, cannot save him, then don’t do my best to you, King Rong. Hearing the threatening meaning in Cao Yuan’s words, King Rong promised: “Don’t worry, Lord Cao, go back and rest for a few days first. I will definitely come up with a way for you to save Master Ling’s life before spring.”

"Then I will thank Your Highness Rong for yourselves first. I will leave." After saying that, Cao Yuan no longer waited. After symbolically bowing to King Rong, he immediately left the Rong palace.

Cao Yuan left, and King Rong was instantly angry. He grabbed a teacup on the table and fell heavily on the ground, shattered all over the ground, and shouted and cursed: "He Cao Yuan dared to threaten me, I am really angry."

"Your Highness, why do you need to be so angry? Take care of yourself?" Xu Qiuniang walked out of the velvet tent and walked towards King Rong in enchanting steps.

Seeing Xu Qiuniang come out, the angry King Rong calmed down, sat on a low chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed her massage, and sighed, "Oh, Qiuniang, you heard it from behind, how can I not be angry? Cao Yuan, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, dared to threaten me in words."

As he said that, King Rong hugged Xu Qiuniang into his arms and lowered his voice: "Qiu Niang, this Ministry of Revenue is crucial to me. Cao Yan's affairs have become an ironclad case. I have no choice. You have to help me think of a solution."

My concubine was half of her military advisor and had many good ideas for me, but unexpectedly, Xu Qiuniang shook her head this time and gave herself helpless: "Your Highness, you have no idea, what can I do?"

Seeing that Xu Qiuniang had no choice, King Rong's face immediately became serious again: "Is there no way for you? If I can't protect Cao Yan, then Cao Yuan will not be able to explain."

Xu Qiuniang suddenly burst into laughter, Yu pointed at King Rong's chest, and said with a smirk: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so confused? You forgot that this emperor has an unparalleled wisdom and plan, so you can ask him."

"Yes, Lin Ziyong is in the imperial capital." King Rong slapped his legs suddenly and immediately kissed Xu Qiuniang with joy: "Look, I am really confused, Qiuniang is still awake, I am really unable to live without you."

"Your Highness, you can't live without me? I'm so happy." Xu Qiuniang also giggled, and her chest was even more trembling. If King Rong hadn't been anxious to go to Lin Mansion, I wouldn't have been like this.

Lin Mansion Living Hall.

King Rong hurriedly walked into the living room with a sad face. Lin Mo sorted out his robe that was a little wrinkled and messy by Tang Yunu, got up and greeted him with a smile: "Welcome to Your Highness Rong."

"Lin Shangqing doesn't have to be too polite." King Rong smiled and said politely. When he looked up, Lin Mo's side face had the mark of a woman's red lips: "Lin Shangqing, I'm really sorry, I'm disturbing your interest with your wife."

Seeing that King Rong stared at his cheek, Lin Mo wiped his face with his hand. When he saw that his fingers were dyed with red marks, he hurriedly said embarrassedly: "I'm so sorry, let Your Highness Rong, you're laughing."

When Lin Mo found that it was the red lipstick that was not easy to wipe clean, he murmured in his heart: It must be that Tang Yunu's beautiful girl did it on purpose. She must teach her a lesson and whip her hard.

"It's okay, Lin Shangqing is a person with a temperament, very good." King Rong waved his hand indifferently.

Now Lin’s mansion has a beautiful wife and concubine, and Lin Mo is only twenty-three. When he is young and energetic, it is normal to be obsessed with beauty. What’s more, for King Rong, Lin Mo’s lustfulness is a good thing, so that King Rong can better attract him and even control him.

After the two of them sat down, the maid in the mansion quickly brought two cups of hot tea and served on the side. King Rong saw that it was not Liu Ruoshui beside Lin Mo, so he asked: "Well, I remember that Lin Shangqing really likes a pretty maid named Liu Ruoshui. Why haven't I seen her come out to serve today?"

Liu Ruoshui was the chess piece he placed next to Lin Mo. A few days ago, he would report Lin Mo's detailed whereabouts to himself every day, but in recent days, he suddenly disappeared, as if the world had evaporated.

Lin Mo drank a sip of hot tea, and brought up a very shameful face and said, "To be honest, Ruoshui looks very cute, but lacks a little charm, so he sent her to Zuisheng Building and was taught by the boss there."

"So that's the case. Lin Shangqing is really full of energy." King Rong said with a hearty smile, but felt relieved. King Rong received Liu Ruoshui's report on the incident of Liu Ruoshui being sent to Zuisheng Tower. The reason for this question was just to test Lin Mo's words.

Lin Mo replied with a smile on his face: "Let Your Highness Rong, you laugh!" But he said in his heart: Test my voice? What a pity, you put Liu Ruoshui next to me, but she was devoted to me, just to have a baby.

When Liu Ruoshui was mentioned, Lin Mo felt that he missed her more and more. In recent days, Lin Mo only felt that he was thinking more and more about that girl, as if he was possessed by a demon, and he was more and more concerned about her. He felt like something was missing. He wanted to hold her in his arms and be so intimate.

Could it be the reason for Meixiang? Lin Mo thought to himself in his heart that Baiyu had used Meixiang and did not have such an impact? This made him very puzzled.

After suppressing his longing for Liu Ruoshui, Lin Mo drank a sip of tea that refreshed his mind and asked lightly: "Your Highness Rong, I am worried when I see you coming. I wonder what worries are there? Maybe I can share your worries."

King Rong was waiting for Lin Mo to ask questions on his own initiative. Now that he asked, he immediately said "Alas" and said, "I believe you know about the Fantasy Music House, Lin Shangqing, too?"

"I've heard of it." Lin Mo nodded and smiled suddenly: "It's true that Xuan Shangqing was wearing a crown and asked me just now, saying that Huanle House was making the next arrangement and was sent away by me."

"Why is this?" King Rong showed a slightly surprised look on his face.

After hearing from his spies, Xuan Yuan came to Lin's mansion after the morning court. King Rong also had some suspicions that it was arranged by Lin Mo, but now that Lin Mo took the initiative to talk about it, he completely dispelled his doubts about him.

Lin Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It was because I sent Ruoshui to Zuisheng Building. When the Huanle Fang was killed, Tang Yunu was there. He had stayed in my Lin Mansion for one night before, so he suspected me."

"Then Xuan Yuan is really confused." King Rong took a sip of tea and smiled contemptuously: "Not to mention that Lin Shangqing invited the owner of Zui Shenglou to live in the mansion for Liu Ruoshui. Besides, even if the owner of Zui Shenglou and Lin Shangqing have any intimate relationship, the owner of Zui Shenglou was just persuading Cao Yan that day. Why did he suspect you Lin Shangqing? Xuan Yuan was really confused."

King Rong was very confident in his spies and was even more convinced of the information they sent back, but this happened to become one of his fatal shortcomings, and at this moment.

However, King Rong said something that was right. Tang Yunu was really Lin Mo's intimacy, and he was also the kind of intimacy that could be seen without any concealment. Unfortunately, King Rong didn't know about this, and he didn't know that Tang Yunu was a cultivator in the semi-saint realm.

"Your Highness Rong, you know." Lin Mo greeted the compliment on his face, but he smiled wildly in his heart: You don't know yet, Tang Yunu was still in my arms and acted coquettishly with me.

King Rong nodded and continued, "Since Lin Shangqing already knows this, I will not repeat it again. Now Cao Yan has been sentenced to the death of Kaichun, I wonder if Lin Shangqing can save his life?"

As soon as these words were said, Lin Mo's eyebrows immediately frowned, and his eyebrows were even more deeply locked. King Rong looked up and saw that the rumored leader of the Mo Sect, who was unparalleled in wisdom, was also nervous.

After about a cup of tea, Lin Mo let out a long breath, took a sip of tea, and said seriously: "The trouble that Mr. Cao Yan has caused this time is really too great. Your Highness Rong really wants to protect him?"

"I will know this naturally." King Rong sighed quietly: "But Lin Shangqing, you know that Cao Yan is Cao Yuan's only son. If he doesn't save Cao Yan's life, I'm worried that Cao Yuan will be dissatisfied. If he had a strange intention and went to join the Hou Party, it would be a disaster."

Among the six ministries of the Ministry of Literature, Veterans, Military Engineering and Punishment, which department is the most important, is naturally the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue controls national taxes and masters the Ministry of Revenue, it can be said that it has mastered the Great Qian silver and money. If it is lost, it is a big problem.

Lin Mo reached out and tapped the table, forming a frequency with the beating frequency of his heart, and said quietly: "Only today's plan is to change prisoners, find someone similar to Cao Yan, and go to Cao Yan to die."

"What, exchange for death row prisoners?" King Rong couldn't sit still: "Lin Shangqing, do you know what you are talking about? This is a very dangerous move. Now there are so many pairs of eyes staring at me. If you are not careful, my king's Ministry of Justice will also get in."

Lin Mo smiled and said lightly: "Then I have no choice. Your Highness, you also know that the Cao Yan case is as proof as a mountain. Even if you have the ability, you can't reverse the case!"

Listening to Lin Mo's words, King Rong suppressed his emotions and calmed down: "Lin Shangqing really has no other way? Replacing prisoners is really a difficult solution."

Lin Mo shook his head: "No, if you want to save Cao Yan's life, you must take this risk. And after saving Cao Yan, he will never appear in the eyes of the world."

"This..." King Rong was silent and didn't know how to answer.

Just as King Rong was hesitating and could not make a decision, Lin Mo spoke again: "Your Highness Rong, you actually have another plan. I wonder if you want to hear it?"

"Of course I want to hear it." King Rong was happy again when he heard that Lin Mo had a plan.

Lin Mo patted his shoulder and signaled the maid behind him to massage him, then smiled coldly, "Your Highness, I know that you are worried that Cao Yuan is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, so I have to find a way to save Cao Yan. So why don't you remove Cao Yuan from the position of Ministry of Revenue and replace him with the rest of yours?"

"This..." King Rong was stunned. After a moment of silence, he said lightly: "Actually, I have never thought about what Lin Shangqing said. It's just that Cao Yuan has a deep foundation in the Ministry of Revenue. If he wants to touch him, I'm afraid..."

"I have a plan to help Your Highness Rong, you take Cao Yuan."

Lin Mo leaned over and whispered in King Rong's ear. After a moment, King Rong's face was gloomy and hesitantly asked: "Lin Shangqing, can this work? Will this happen..."

Lin Mo smiled faintly: "Your Highness Rong, you know that everything is risky or costly. If you want to have the best of both worlds, there are probably very few such things. Of course, the final decision has to be decided."

"This..., alas..." King Rong felt extremely embarrassed. After being silent for a while, he said goodbye to Lin Mo and left here. When he left, his mind was in a fierce struggle.

King Rong left, Tang Yunu walked into the living room with a graceful smile, then sat directly into Lin Mo's arms, consciously wrapped his hands around Lin Mo's neck, and the two maids also left consciously.

Sitting in Lin Mo's arms, Tang Yunu raised his red lips, once again stamped a seal on Lin Mo's side face, and said coquettishly: "Lin Lang, you are so bad. The idea you gave to King Rong is really sinister."

Where is the insidiousness?

If you save Cao Yan, then you can only replace the death row prisoner. Then King Rong would have to use the two prisoners to gamble. If you don’t save him and choose to remove Cao Yuan, then it would be hard to say the hearts of the court officials under King Rong.

Seeing that Tang Yunu dared to tease him, Lin Mo pinched Tang Yunu's face and changed the subject: "Tang Yunu is not very brave. Do you know that your lip fat can't be washed off easily."

Tang Yunu burst out laughing, but raised his head and kissed Lin Mo's side face again, leaving a red lips mark, and then asked, "Lin Lang, what would King Rong choose?"

"Then I don't know, look at him, let's not mention this for now. You made me look ugly in front of King Rong. How can I settle this account?" As he said that, Lin Mo suddenly smiled evilly and evoked Tang Yunu's exquisite chin.

"I understand, I will definitely compensate Lin Lang." Tang Yunu understood Lin Mo's thoughts. Without saying a word, she sat up straight, raised her fragrant lips, and kissed Lin Mo's lips...
