Chapter 294 Enemies of Thousands of People
Relatively speaking, he, Linghuqiu, was just a bystander, and it had nothing to do with him if something happened, so naturally he couldn't be said to be under pressure.
And Niu Youdao couldn't even think about it, but he really couldn't think of any qualifications that he deserved to be dealt with by the emperor of Qi himself. If Yan Guo harmed him, he could understand that he should have no enmity with Qi State.
Tonight is destined to make him toss...
"Princess, where are you going?"
As the sun rose, Hao Qingqing came out of the house bouncingly with her braids tossing. When she left the courtyard, she was stopped by Mrs. Pei who came out suddenly.
Hao Qingqing raised her chin, "Go to the queen mother."
Lady Pei said calmly: "Your Majesty has a decree. From now on, the princess cannot leave this courtyard without His Majesty's decree."
Hao Qingqing stared: "I'm under house arrest? What did I do wrong? I can't even go to see my mother?"
Mrs. Pei shook her head: "No way!"
Hao Qingqing exclaimed: "Why?"
Mrs. Pei: "I don't know either, this is His Majesty's will."
Hao Qingqing said angrily: "I don't believe it, I'll talk to my father." She was about to force her way out.
Mrs. Pei grabbed her arm, "Your Majesty has an order, if the princess dares to disobey, tie her up!"
"..." Hao Qingqing was speechless.
After persuading him to go back, Mrs. Pei ordered a female monk to keep an eye on Hao Qingqing, in short, not to let Hao Qingqing leave.
When he came out of the yard, he ran into Chai Fei.
When they met, Chai Fei asked: "Senior sister, have you heard the news? Niu Youdao is probably in trouble."
"Hey!" Mrs. Pei sighed softly, "Your Majesty will not take Niu Youdao seriously, but Niu Youdao just happened to hit His Majesty's knife."
Chai Fei hummed and said: "It is true that he will not be taken seriously, that is to say, he will not care whether he lives or dies."
Mrs. Pei raised her eyes, "Do you have an opinion?"
Chai Fei spread his palms, "Can I have any opinions? Is it useful for us to have opinions? Your Majesty's move, except His Majesty's own will, who can change anything? Your Majesty's butcher knife has been raised. It is destined to be a bloodbath, but I don't know how many people will die!"
Mrs. Pei smiled wryly: "Sometimes the cultivation of our monks is actually useless, and His Majesty is the real enemy!"
In Daxingling's mansion, Zuo Desong came back from court, and Qian You, who was waiting at the door, greeted him, and walked in with him, muttering beside him while walking.
In the courtyard, Zuo Desong paused and asked, "When did it happen?"
Qian You: "As for the news that just spread this morning, Mr. Zuo, do you think it's true?"
Zuo Desong asked back: "Do you think in this capital, who dares to openly spread rumors under the guise of His Majesty?"
Qian humorously nodded, "That's right, Mr. Zuo's words are reasonable, and it seems to be true."
Zuo Desong turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, "Let your fellow disciples be quiet, and try not to get involved in anything recently, those monks have already made His Majesty dissatisfied, and His Majesty is going to kill someone!"
Qian You: "What Zuo Gong reminded me is that I just didn't expect Niu Youdao to be the target of a knife."
Zuo Desong let out a chuckle, "It's not that the dragon crosses the river, but what happens when he crosses the river..."
Hu Yan went to the general's mansion, and Hu Yanwei swaggered towards the gate.
The figure of Zha Hu came out from the pavilion at the side, and Hu Yanwei bowed his hands when he saw it, "Morning, Uncle Tiger."
"Morning? Let's see what time it is." Zha Hu raised his chin towards the rising sun in the sky.
Hu Yanwei hehe said: "I'm not injured." He pointed at his own buttocks.
Zha Hu smiled and asked, "How's the injury?"
Hu Yanwei patted his chest, "Although he is not made of steel and iron, he is still a man who can walk."
Zha Hu: "Hey, who was crying in pain that day, tears and snot?"
"Cough cough!" Hu Yanwei coughed twice, looked around in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Tiger, it's fine if you don't save yourself, why are you talking sarcasticly?"
Zha Hu: "Okay, don't make sarcastic remarks, where are you going?"
Hu Yanwei immediately said hey again: "I just met a friend, and we agreed to take him for a stroll in Baiyunjian. Uncle Tiger, the girl in Baiyunjian is really nice, do you want to go and see her together? My treat!"
Zha Hu smiled and said: "It seems that the tofu restaurant is really making money, and I can think of inviting my guests."
Hu Yanwei hehe, "No one can forget you. As long as Uncle Tiger speaks kindly to my father in the future, he will definitely think of you when good things happen in the future."
Zha Hu nodded, "Well, I don't want the treats. I'm more interested in money. How about I tell your father to confiscate all the shares of your tofu restaurant?"
Hu Yanwei stared at the boss, hurried forward and hugged his arm, pleading repeatedly, "Uncle Tiger, my nephew is already miserable enough, you can't make trouble!"
"You're not a woman, don't cuddle." Zha Hu pushed him away. "Is there any kind of woman I want? Even if I sleep the proprietress of Baiyunjian, the king of the West Courtyard won't say anything. I don't need your treat. I appreciate your kindness. I'm not interested in that kind of romantic place. By the way, who do you want to invite, Niu Youdao?"
Hu Yanwei gave a thumbs up, "Wise, I can't hide anything from you."
Zha Hu: "Calm down, don't go out for a while, stay at home, treat it as a recovery, that's what your father meant."
Hu Yanwei: "Don't, I promised others, how can I break my promise. Besides, my injury is almost healed, and I can recover faster if I go for a walk, ah..." He suddenly let out a miserable cry.
It was because Zha Hu suddenly kicked his ass, sending him flying up and falling to the ground.
Zha Hu waved his hand, and the two of them came over immediately. He pointed to Hu Yanwei who was lying on the ground dying, "Send the third young master back to recuperate. If the injury is not good, he is not allowed to go out."
"Yes!" The two immediately set up Huyanwei on the ground and dragged him away.
Hearing the screams, Heng Tian Duan stopped and watched.
When Zha Hu came, Heng Tianduan bowed slightly.
Zha Hu squinted coldly and said: "It may not be peaceful recently, let your classmates widen their eyes and prick up their ears, and watch the family closely. If someone in the Huyan family has an accident due to negligence, I will have a bad temper!"
The words were impolite, Heng Tianduan's cheeks tensed, he glanced at Zha Hu with a little fear, and said with a slight bow: "I will explain."
Among the white clouds, in a pavilion, a group of dancers danced, and Su Zhao played the piano for them personally.
Qin Mian came from the corridor, walked over to Su Zhao, leaned over and whispered in Su Zhao's ear for a while.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, Su Zhao suddenly turned to look at her, stood up immediately, and waved to the luthier beside her to come and take her hand to play the piano.
The sound of the zither sounded again, and the two walked to the corner. Su Zhao asked suspiciously, "Princess Qi owes Niu Youdao two million gold coins and one hundred thousand horses? Could this be the purpose of Niu Youdao who came here without rushing all the way?"
Qin Mian: "Is this still important now?"
Su Zhao smiled, "Niu Youdao has gotten himself into big trouble, it's a good show!"
At this time, Niu Youdao was standing in the bedroom with his arms outstretched. Hei Mudan was arranging his clothes for him. He was about to go out to meet distinguished guests. Out of courtesy, he had to tidy up his appearance.
"At this point, those high-ranking officials, should they all go down?" Niu Youdao asked.
Black Peony: "It should be down, those who are not on duty, those who should go home should have gone home."
Niu Youdao: "Okay! Try to visit three or four houses today."
As soon as I packed up my clothes and went out, I saw Linghu Qiu hurriedly coming, and shouted from afar: "Brother, something happened, something happened!"
Niu Youdao: "Why are you so surprised, brother?"
Linghu Qiu approached and said in a deep voice, "What happened last night really happened."
What happened last night has been hanging on Niu Youdao's heartstrings. Hearing this, his expression sank, "What's going on?"
Linghuqiu: "The matter that Princess Qi owes you money, what happened last night suddenly spread this morning!"
"Not many people on our side know about what happened last night..." Niu Youdao half-spoken, then looked up at him suddenly, "Is the emperor of Qi in the rumors?"
Linghuqiu nodded: "There are rumors that there is the Emperor of Qi. It is clear and clear. The Emperor of Qi paid back the debt for his daughter and gave you a letter of permission to leave the country with 100,000 horses!"
Niu Youdao understood in an instant, and the news spread suddenly. He dared to spread the emperor's rumors under the emperor's nose. It was unreliable to involve the eldest princess. He dared to expose the emperor's family scandal in this capital. Does it need to be said where the news leaked?
Linghuqiu said with an extremely serious expression: "A letter of permission to leave the country for one hundred thousand war horses! Brother, you have become the target of public criticism. You are in serious trouble this time!"
Niu Youdao was angry and funny, "What does the emperor of Qi mean? I can't tolerate such a mess with his daughter. He doesn't hesitate to smear his daughter's face and trick me? Is it so troublesome for him to punish me?"
"Hi!" Linghuqiu stomped his foot and pointed at him, "Brother, you think highly of yourself. Do you still think it was aimed at you? Of course, when I heard the news just now, I thought it was aimed at you, but when I think about it later, it's not right. He is targeting those monks who came to Qi with evil intentions. Something! He may have been dissatisfied with the monks gathered in the capital for a long time, and you happened to hit him on the knife edge, and you just gave him an excuse to do something!"
The frowning Hei Mudan's face changed drastically.
"Hiss!" Niu Youdao sucked in a breath of cold air. At this moment, the things that he couldn't figure out last night finally had an answer.
At this moment, he realized that his vision was still limited compared to the emperor who looked down on the world.
He only thought that the emperor had no reason to deal with him, and yes, the emperor had no reason to deal with him.
He thought that as long as the secrets were not leaked here, the emperor would not leak the secrets either. The emperor would not let outsiders know how unreliable his daughter was, and the family ugliness should not be publicized!
Who would have thought that he was actually just an introduction, an insignificant pawn, the emperor had to deal with a large group of monks, he wanted to kill a large group of monks, and let countless monks kill each other.
He only focused on the gains and losses and risks on his own side, and never thought of killing so many monks, and he didn't even think about it.
Having been a monk for so long, I have unknowingly been contaminated with the self-righteous superiority of monks. I never thought that people in the world would dare to attack so many monks.
In this way, for the emperor, there is no family scandal at all. From the outsiders' point of view, if there is no family scandal, it is all the emperor's tricks!
In terms of small gains and losses, Hao Qingqing owed him the debt, and the emperor also helped his daughter to write off the debt.
