I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 134 Prince Charming (Part [-])

In the back yamen of the Jingzhao Mansion, the tent is warm with fragrance and warmth, and Mr. Zhou and the beauty are sleeping in quilts.

Today he received a notice from the Ministry of Punishment that King Ji officially took over the Ministry of Punishment, ordering him to report all the files of capital crimes in the near future, and King Ji would re-check it himself. This gave him a headache and he couldn't sleep well.

The idiot who got married in the prison was indeed not a mortal. Fortunately, he and the woman who sold the coffin were not beheaded hastily, otherwise he might not be able to pass the test of King Ji.

"Huh?" Suddenly, he sat up and said to himself, "I remembered, it turned out to be him. No wonder I always find him familiar."

The beauty said coquettishly, "My lord, which beauty are you dreaming of? I was surprised."

"The beauty is right by your side, what are you dreaming about?" Master Zhou woke up, and lay down with a smile on his arms, the beauty let out a coquettish smile.

"Huh?" Just after he fell silent, Master Zhou suddenly sat up again.

"My lord?" The beauty was upset, and wanted to pull Master Zhou to lie down.

Mr. Zhou put the beauty away, got up in his clothes and ran to the case, picked up the jade pendant, and looked at the lamp over and over again.

The two pieces of jade pendant were combined into one to form a crescent shape. The decoration was incomplete, but it could be seen that it was a shining golden sun. When he was in prison, he felt as if he had seen it somewhere before. Can't get out.

The beauty in the tent called shyly, and complained, "Master, it's not enough to investigate the case during the day, so why don't you sleep well in the middle of the night. This is only the Jingzhao Mansion. If it's a supernatural arrester, wouldn't it be sleepless nights?" ?”

Mr. Zhou had no choice but to put down the jade pendant, went back to bed and fell asleep with the beauty in his arms.

Just lay down and sat up again.

"Well, what did you say, God Detective?"

He slapped his head, "I remember where I saw it."

Excited to get up and change clothes immediately, without any entourage, he ran out of the mansion overnight and knocked on the mansion of Lu Zhangsi, the chief arresting officer.

Lu Yingming turned his legs up and looked down.

He was very dissatisfied with Yin Zhou Wenhao's late-night visit to Jingzhao Mansion. As the head of the Jingzhao God Detective Department, it was his right to break into the private house of any official in the court at night. No other official had ever dared to visit him in the middle of the night He woke up from sleep.

First, because the Taozhuang case had not been solved for a long time, he was dismissed without dismissal, and later because of General Rong, he was severely reprimanded by the Holy Majesty, and almost lost his post.

It was the time when he was very angry, did Zhou Wenhao come here this time?Even those with a higher rank than him don't have the guts.

When he saw the jade pendant brought to him by Mr. Zhou with both hands, his heart skipped a beat.

"He is back?"

"Who, who's back?" Monk Zhang Er, Lord Zhou, was puzzled.

"No one, I haven't woken up and my mind is confused." Director Lu calmed down and said in a deep voice.

Mr. Zhou stroked his short beard on his chin and laughed.

He was able to sit firmly in the position of Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, and he was not an ordinary person. He was naturally a scheming person, and he could tell at a glance that Director Lu's reaction to this jade pendant was unusual.

"The old man saw that this thing is a bit special, and thought that Director Lu might like it, so I brought it to you for Zhang Zhangyan."

"In the middle of the night, give me two pieces of cut jade to give my eyes? Mr. Zhou is very interested." Director Lu squinted at Mr. Zhou.

"If Director Lu likes it, just take it. This old man is nothing more than a little effort. I just want to make a splash in the eyes of Director Lu and leave an impression."

Lu Zhangsi did not answer, staring at the jade pendant, the residue of long-term memory floated up.

The winter of that year was not as cold as it is now, and the palace was even warmer like spring. The Lanxing Pavilion, the tallest building in the world, was finally announced to be completed after decades of work. The old emperor gathered all his officials to celebrate.

The court ladies danced lightly, the silk and bamboo pipes played together, and the old emperor and his officials drank happily. They could not hear the wailing of countless innocent souls who died for the construction of the building, let alone the sound of war drums constantly rising from the world.

The laughter of the monarchs and ministers wafted on Lanxing Pavilion.

Only the young prince was unhappy.

Suddenly, there was a deafening killing sound, blood flew everywhere where the sword fell, and people kept screaming and falling from the Lanxing Pavilion.

The flag fluttered fiercely in the cold wind.

The old emperor was cowardly and incompetent, and when he was cornered, he knelt down in front of the new lord and begged to let him live.

Unexpectedly, the new master was a straightforward person, and without hesitation, he raised the knife and dropped it, which ended his life.

The imperial city changed hands, the Lanxing Pavilion changed its flag, and the change of dynasty was only a matter of days and nights.

Under the protection of more than a dozen bodyguards, the young prince blazed a trail and escaped.

Those guards are all skilled and loyal to the prince, and among them is a "swordsman" who is feared by everyone in the world.

The guards used their lives to protect the prince and fled. The number of people decreased day by day, but they never regretted it. They guarded the remaining blood of the royal family and fled to a small fishing village by the sea.

The prince has just turned 15 years old, but he is young and mature. Facing his father, queen and queen, he lived a life of tossing and turning, but he did not shed a single tear.

One day, he ordered to kill everyone who persuaded him to stay in the small fishing village for the rest of his life, summoned the last three guards around him, and made the most daring and risky decision, which was to return to the capital , Go to a place where you can see Lanxing Pavilion.

"The Lanxing Pavilion is sprinkled with the blood of my father, queen, and queen. I want to go back there to comfort the spirit of my father, queen, and queen by returning to the country in my hand."

"Yes, the prince's wish is also our wish. I will follow him to the death and guard him day and night." The three guards said in unison.

"You don't have to guard this king day and night." The young prince said in a deep voice, "Go to your own business."

The three guards didn't know why.

The prince then divided the prince pendant into three parts and handed it to the three guards.

"Swordsman, fire candle, scholar, from today onwards, you three brothers will return to the capital, do your best, go where you should go, occupy the positions you can occupy, and make all the friends who can be used by me. Give the man money Give women beauty, give scholars names, give businessmen profits, fill their desires, make them willingly become the servants of this king, let them become bricks, wood, and mud, and this king will use them to build the Lanxing Pavilion higher and more spectacular."

"As long as you put your heart into managing it, why worry that the world won't return to this king's hands!" the young prince said boldly.

"Yes."

The three brothers each hold a section of the prince's pendant, and from then on began a protracted plan to restore the dynasty.

Time flies easily, decades of time passed, the young prince looked at the Lanxing Pavilion day and night in the depths of the coldest alley, and gradually grew into a weird young man with a cold complexion and gloomy eyes.

Their original intention has never changed, that is, "to retake the country with all our strength."

What is formidable is other people's soldiers, what is mowed is other people's horses, and what is seized is the country that one has lost.

After decades of management, most of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been used by them, and there are people from all walks of life in the capital, and their power has grown day by day.

In order to create chaos for the new dynasty, they broke embankments and destroyed rivers to cause floods, and then bewitched the victims to flock to the capital.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters go hand in hand, under the surface of the prosperity of the new dynasty, there are already dark waves and undercurrents, the current emperor is worried, and looking at the several princes around him, none of them can stand alone to relieve his worries.

This is also the reason why the current Holy Admiral, King Ji, who has been guarding the border all year round, hastily recalled him back to Beijing.

The contest between King Ji and the former prince has just begun.

"Director Lu, Director Lu?"

Master Zhou saw that Director Lu was holding the jade pendant and hadn't moved for a long time, so he couldn't help breaking the silence.

Director Lu was pulled back from the memory, there was no bloody storm in front of him, only a flickering light, and Mr. Zhou's eyes staring at him made him a little annoyed.

"Well, I just remembered some past events." Director Lu said after waking up.

"Does it remind you of the winter of a certain year?" Master Zhou smiled sinisterly.

Director Lu suddenly stood up vigilantly, and stared fiercely at Mr. Zhou.

But Master Zhou laughed and said, "How could Huozhu, the famous first-class bodyguard next to the prince, remember a small clerk in the prince's mansion?"

Lu Zhangsi breathed a sigh of relief.

They only knew that Zhou Wenhao was a "brick" recruited by them, but they didn't expect that he was originally an old official of the Prince's Mansion.

Although Director Lu has no impression of this person who claims to be the secretary of the former prince's mansion, as long as he is a member of the former prince, everything is still under his control.

"Yes, although the winter of that year was not as cold as this year, it was the coldest time in my life, Lu Yingming. Master took one last look at the scene of Lanxing Pavilion leaving sadly, and I still dare not forget it." Lu Zhang Secretary sighed.

He took out a piece of jade pendant from his bosom, which matched the jade pendant sent by Mr. Zhou, and the joint almost matched, it should be the middle section.

At that time, among the three guards, the scholar was the chief, followed by the swordsman, and the fire candle was the least.

The swordsman has not been seen for many years, and suddenly appeared in the capital. When he saw the jade pendant again, it was broken in two. What is the mystery?
Director Lu's doubts arose again.
