The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 201 Undercurrent
So for a few days.

The story of the beautiful shadow in red became more and more popular in Haikang County, and then there was the sudden death of Concubine Hui, some people secretly rumored that the beautiful shadow in red was Concubine Hui.

Concubine Hui didn't die, she just went out of the palace.

And the instigator behind this, I am afraid no one would have guessed, is Zhao Dongting, the Great Song Emperor.He deliberately let people spread this rumor.

If not, how would the people in Tianxiang Pavilion know Yinger's whereabouts?
Zhao Dongting tried his best to cast the net. If he couldn't lead out to Tianxiang Pavilion, he would be blind.

In the palace, there was no movement.The chief eunuch of the Internal Servant's Mansion and Su Liuyi were ordered to investigate carefully, but they only observed quietly in the dark.

Naturally, the secret investigations cannot be done with such fanfare like dealing with bandits and bandits, and those secret operations are not stupid, and will not easily reveal their traces.

Of course, more than a dozen eunuchs and court ladies have been seized by the chief eunuch of the servant's mansion and reported to Zhao Dongting.

Most of these detailed works were followed from Lin'an, and there was a complete system in the palace, and the eunuchs of the Purchasing Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs often sent letters out.

Among the several letters intercepted by the chief eunuch of the Internal Servant's Mansion, most of them were about the sudden death of Concubine Hui.Zhao Dongting had seen it, and did not let the eunuch rush to clean it up. He was not sure if all the secret works in the palace had been exposed, and he wanted to wait a little longer.

Since we want to investigate, we have to uproot them.

The chief eunuch of the Internal Servant's Mansion was named Wu Lianying, and he was an extremely gloomy character. Although Zhao Dongting didn't like his gloomy aura, it was most appropriate for him to investigate such matters.He even planned to use this matter to test Wu Lianying. If Wu Lianying was really a shady person in the city, Zhao Dongting would have the idea of ​​handing over all the orphans who had been trained for many days in the general affairs department to him.

As an emperor, there are always some obscure things that need to be dealt with.Under his command, they can't all be bright and aboveboard.

Whether he likes it or not is one thing. Zhao Dongting thinks very clearly that to stabilize the political power, there must be people like Wu Lianying below.

Think about the east and west factories in the Ming Dynasty, all of which were run by eunuchs.At that time, the emperor was afraid that he also took a fancy to the shame of these physically handicapped people.

On the [-]th day, Concubine Hui's coffin departed from the Xinggong Palace, accompanied by the eunuch and maid, and was buried in a mighty mountain next to Guidang Valley in Waiguidang Valley, Haikang County.

Countless civilians follow independently.

It's just that few people know that this is an empty coffin.

Suixi County, Leizhou, Beilai Inn.

Donglai Inn is just an inconspicuous inn in Suixi County. The owner's family migrated from Wuzhou City, named Zhang Liudong, and because his right leg is slightly lame, people often call him Lame Zhang.He used to run an inn in Wuzhou City, and he had a lot of money, but his status as a merchant in this era was ultimately unrecognizable.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are the most despised.

Zhang Laizi came to Suixi, bought the inn from the government at a low price, and named it Beilai.

The original owner of the inn had already been massacred when Murong Chuan led pirates to attack the city.

Originally, the business of Beilai Inn was not good, it was just some old customers who migrated from Wuzhou like Zhang Laizi to cheer.But in the past two days, the business in the inn has suddenly boomed, which made Zhang Lie smile all day long, and his limping legs seemed to be a little vigorous when walking.

This is all because of the newly recruited maid in his inn.

This girl is really beautiful, Zhang Laizi has lived for dozens of years, but he has never seen such a beautiful girl a few times.

He still remembered that two nights ago, the girl knocked on the door in a bright red wedding dress, her lovely and pitiful appearance was really touching.

Zhang Laizi is old and can't stand the toss anymore, but seeing the staring eyes of his son next to him, his heart is calculated.

His son is also at the age of marriage, but it is not easy to get married in this age of war and chaos. Isn't this girl the daughter-in-law sent by heaven?

So, when the girl asked her if she could work in the inn, Zhang Laizi just asked her name in a hurry without asking her details, so he invited her into the inn, and immediately agreed to let her help out in the inn. He also offered a monthly fee comparable to that of a chef.

Ying Er, a good name, really a good name.

Thinking about it now, Zhang Laizi still couldn't help showing a look of complacency in his eyes.

He has been shrewd for decades, so naturally he still has calculations in his heart.

How about giving this girl a higher monthly salary?
Look at her lonely, as long as her worthless son works hard to marry her in.Shouldn't those monthly money be returned to his own pocket?

What does Zhang Laizi think, and how does he think it's a good deal.He was even a little envious of his son's shit luck.

I don't know what kind of virtue this kid has accumulated in his previous life to meet such a good father and such a good wife.

Zhang Laizi never thought about where Yinger could go. Seeing that she was alone, he probably would have to marry his own son in the end.

What made Zhang Zizi even more gratified was that after Yinger worked in the inn, the business suddenly exploded.

Although the naked eyes of those guest officials looking at the "daughter-in-law" made him feel quite uncomfortable, but the wasted money was all real.

The son can marry such a beautiful Nuwa, and the inn can make so much more money. Zhang Laizi's offering to the Bodhisattva these two days is lighter than usual.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the inn was almost full.

Lame Zhang stayed behind the counter, sucking on a long cigarette stick, smiling at Ying Er who was serving tea to customers.

Although this girl has a colder temperament, but with the piercing eyes he has cultivated over the past decades, it can be seen that this girl has something on her mind, and she should be an extremely gentle girl by nature.She is ignoring her son now, but she will definitely not be like this when she feels better in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Laizi suddenly felt that the sun outside seemed brighter.

And in this bright sunshine, a few swordsmen suddenly walked in.

Zhang Laizi never dared to neglect these green forest heroes who are quick to draw their swords, so he hurriedly went up to meet him, nodded and bowed, "Are the guest officials going to the top or staying in the hotel?"

The so-called reaching out and not hitting smiling people, but these swordsmen are very arrogant.

The person in charge pushed Zhang lame back and walked straight to Ying Er with a few people.

In front of Yinger, he asked indifferently, "Are you Li Yinger?"

Ying Er, who was wearing coarse cloth but still couldn't conceal her slim figure, had slightly fluctuating eyes, "Who are you?"

The leading swordsman said: "You really are not dead. Come back with me later."

"You are……"

Yinger was shocked, and was about to say the word Tianxiangge, but was captured by the burly swordsman with cold eyes.

She lowered her eyes slightly, "I'll go with you."

But no one knows what she is thinking in her heart.

The leading swordsman didn't say much, and upon receiving Ying Er's reply, he turned around and was about to walk out of the inn.

"and many more."

Ying Er suddenly called him to stop, but hurried to the small courtyard behind the inn.

That was the residence of Zhang Laizi and his family.

After arriving, Ying Er ran to her room, took out the bright red wedding dress from the cabinet, and gently stroked it with her bare hands.

After a few minutes, she sighed suddenly, bit her lip, walked out with her wedding dress in her hands, and knocked on the door of the next room.

The entire small courtyard is only a few rooms, but this room is where Zhang Laizi lives with his original wife.

Zhang Laizi's first wife is a kind-hearted woman, and Ying Er wants to entrust the wedding dress to her for safekeeping.This thing can never be brought to Tianxiang Pavilion.

The door opened quickly, revealing an unrefined face, a little aged, with many wrinkles, obviously suffering a lot.

Ying'er said: "Auntie Zhang, can you keep this dress for me, I will marry you later."

Aunt Zhang was surprised and said, "Miss Yinger, are you leaving?"

Yinger bit her lip and nodded slightly.

Aunt Zhang also wanted to match her son and Yinger, but she could tell that Yinger was not an ordinary girl.Suddenly he sighed slightly in his heart, knowing that Liu Yinger couldn't stand it anymore.

She took the wedding dress and said: "Don't worry, Madam will take good care of it for you and wait for you to pick it up."

Ying Er saluted, "Thank you, Ma'am."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the small garden.

Aunt Zhang watched Yinger leave, and sighed softly, "My silly son, I'm afraid you don't have such a blessing..."

She lowered her head to look at the wedding dress in her hand, only thinking that maybe someone from Ying'er's husband's family came looking for her.

Yinger returned to the inn lobby, thanked Zhang Laizi and his son for taking them in, and then left with the swordsmen.

Zhang Laizi wanted to stop him, but he was frightened by the cold light at the moment when the swordsman drew his sword, and he backed away again and again, as calm as a cicada.

It wasn't until the swordsmen took Ying Er out of the door for tens of meters that he gritted his teeth and cursed in resentment, "These bastard killers!"

He didn't notice that at this time in the upper guest room of the inn, two people jumped out of the window and fell lightly into the backyard of his house.
