The last winner of the film and television world

Chapter 676 Teng Zijing’s loyalty.

Although Li Yunrui was speaking with a smile, her expression was indeed somewhat creepy. A femme fatale might be the best way to describe her. It was only at this moment that she did not know that Fan Xian was Ye Qingmei's son, otherwise she would immediately send Yan Xiaoyi to kill Fan Xian, even if it meant offending Emperor Qing.

After all, Li Yunrui hated Ye Qingmei so much, and now her son wanted to marry his daughter. I'm afraid Li Yunrui would go crazy.

Once this person goes crazy, it wouldn't be surprising if he did anything crazy.

"Aunt, actually Lin Gong has already persuaded Prime Minister Lin, but Prime Minister Lin also disagrees with this marriage."

Li Yunrui shook his head: "It's useless, you don't know His Majesty. No one can change what he decides."

There was one thing she didn't say. Because of this matter, she once went to the Empress Dowager to plead for mercy, and was slapped by Hong Sixiang for it. Of course, this was at the Empress Dowager's instruction.

The Queen Mother has only one goal, which is to protect Emperor Qing's imperial power with all her might, so the Queen Mother will not change Emperor Qing's decision.

Li Chengqian nodded. It seemed that in this case, only Fan Xian would die.

"Aunt, how is your injury?"

Li Yunrui subconsciously glanced at her arm. Thinking of the assassin that night, her face suddenly darkened: "It's okay now."

"Aunt, the assassin is still missing?"

Li Chengqian didn't know that the assassin was Yao Bin. Although Yao Bin was very powerful in his eyes, there were grand masters in the palace. Even if a top-level ninth-grade master came, he would not be able to escape, so the last assassin was a mystery.

"No, it seems to be His Majesty's intention."

Li Chengqian also knew what it meant and then changed the subject.

Before leaving, Li Yunrui had someone prepare a gift. This was not for Li Chengqian, but for him to pass it on to Yao Bin. After all, the other party had just cured Lin Wan'er's illness. It couldn't be that the Lin family had expressed their gratitude, but she, as a mother, hadn't expressed anything at all, right?
This matter involves face, so she must give some gifts.

Li Chengqian was naturally happy to do this, but when he just returned to the East Palace, he found that Yao Bin was already waiting there. If Li Chengqian had not given instructions, Yao Bin would not be able to come in at this time.

After chatting for a while, Yao Bin found out about Li Yunrui's gift. It was probably some gold, silver, jewelry or something like that. Anyway, everyone likes to give gifts.

"In that case, please let Your Highness thank Her Royal Highness the Princess on my behalf."

"Sir, you don't have to be polite. It's just some personal belongings." Because it was Yao Bin who came to the East Palace today, Li Chengqian changed his mind and asked, "I wonder why you are here today?"

"Your Highness, have you arrested Teng Zijing from the Overwatch Council?"

Li Chengqian looked suspicious, but admitted it anyway: "Sir, do you know Teng Zijing?"

Legend has it that they returned to Kyoto together. Although Teng Zijing was not among the group, Li Chengqian knew that Teng Zijing was in Fan Xian's carriage, and he was planning to make a fuss about this.

Yao Bin laughed and said, "Your Highness, are you planning to use Teng Zijing's fake death as an excuse to accuse Fan Xian of deceiving the emperor?"

Li Chengqian was already beginning to doubt his life. He had never told Yao Bin about this matter, so how did the other party know about it?

Seeing Li Chengqian's expression, Yao Bin knew what happened because he was holding the script. He smiled and said, "Your Highness, I already knew about the arrest of Teng Zijing that day, but have you ever thought that Teng Zijing's fake death was originally the work of the Supervisory Council?"

Li Chengqian's face changed. Could it be that Yao Bin also had a source of information in the Supervisory Commission? Otherwise, there was no way to explain this matter.

Thinking of this, Li Chengqian decided to rely more on Yao Bin. Of course, this was the case before he ascended the throne. As for when he became the emperor, the grand master of Qing Kingdom would also listen to him, and it would be very easy to kill Yao Bin at that time. After all, no king likes to have such a "smart person" around him.

"Sir, please give me some advice."

"Your Highness, I don't deserve your advice. This is my duty. Your Highness is totally wrong this time. I'm afraid that Mei Zhili, the governor of Kyoto, can't be saved."

Emperor Qing must have known that Mei Zhili was helping to investigate Teng Zijing's whereabouts. Although this was a small matter, he was still the emperor, and the prefect of Kyoto began to help the prince?

I'm afraid no king could tolerate this, so Mei Zhili's death was not at all unjust.

Li Chengqian was shocked: "Why is this happening, sir?"

He had spent a lot of effort to win over Mei Zhili. You know, this position is very important. The top leader of Kyoto also has some military power. With Mei Zhili's help, many things will be easier.

"Your Majesty will not tolerate Mei Zhili continuing to work for Your Highness."

Before Yao Bin finished speaking, Li Chengqian was already sweating coldly, wondering why he hadn't thought of this. Oh no, this meant Mei Zhili was in danger.

"Sir, if that's the case, what should we do? Is there any way to save Magistrate Mei?"

Yao Bin shook his head. Emperor Qing was an old scoundrel. How could he let Mei Zhili go?

"Your Highness already knows this. Isn't the palace code a precedent?"

Gong Dian once only accepted a painting and calligraphy from the prince, and after being warned by Emperor Qing, the latter immediately ran to Li Chengqian and destroyed many ancient paintings, and then announced that he no longer had any hobbies.

So what Yao Bin said was not false, Mei Zhili might be finished soon. Li Chengqian was very upset. He didn't expect that in order to capture Teng Zijing, he would have to sacrifice a Kyoto prefect.

"Someone, go get someone to kill Teng Zijing."

Li Chengqian felt that there was no way to convict Fan Xian now, and keeping Teng Zijing would be a waste of food, so it would be better to kill him.

Yao Bin hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, can you let me handle Teng Zijing?"

After all, judging from the drama, Teng Zijing is a very loyal person. He can be recruited under his command and will be of great use to him in the future.

Li Chengqian glanced at Yao Bin and wanted to ask a question, but finally nodded: "In that case, let me leave it to you, sir."

In his opinion, Teng Zijing is just a guard, and his life or death is not important. This is not just true for Li Chengqian, many people in the play think that Teng Zijing is just a guard.

But Yao Bin doesn't think so. You know, in this world, there are very few people who are so loyal.

"Sir, the wound on my aunt's arm will leave a scar after it heals. Is there any way to treat it?"

Li Chengqian was preparing to show his courtesy to Li Yunrui. He thought that Yao Bin could cure Lin Wan'er's disease, so maybe he could find a way to solve this problem.

"Your Highness, I have no other options."

Yao Bin thought, the scars on this woman's arms were all caused by herself, and she still wants medicine to remove the scars. What is she dreaming of?

"OK then."

Li Chengqian also felt that this was asking too much. There was no such thing in the world as leaving no scar after a wound healed. Didn't this go against common sense?
As soon as he left the East Palace, Yao Bin saw Teng Zijing, who was covered in dust and obviously had suffered a lot.

"Let's go."

Teng Zijing was not stupid. He knew that it was Yao Bin who saved him. He had faked his death and returned to Kyoto. Then he was captured by the prince and thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, he was released.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. What are your plans next?" "I'll wait for Fan Xian to find my wife and children, and then I'll take them away."

In fact, Teng Zijing didn't want to be a high-ranking official, he just wanted to live with his wife and children. Not to mention that he was now a "dead man" and there was no way for him to appear in public.

"Do you need my help?"

If I remember correctly, it is Wang Qinian who is looking for Teng Zijing's wife and children. Why don't you go and ask him?
Teng Zijing didn't say anything in the end. It was a good thing to have one more person to help. Not to mention that Yao Bin saved him today. He must remember this favor.

After settling Teng Zijing, Yao Bin found Wang Qinian. This guy recognized at a glance that this was Yao Bin, who had been very popular in Kyoto recently.

"Meet Master Yao."

"Wang Qinian, is there any trace of Teng Zijing's wife and children?"

Wang Qinian was stunned when he heard this, thinking that Teng Zijing really had a wide network of contacts. Not only was Fan Xian helping him find his wife and children, but now there was Yao Bin too.

"Master Yao, the whereabouts of Teng Zijing's wife and children have been found."

Before he could finish, Yao Bin said, "If you know where to go, take me to find them."

Wang Qinian secretly groaned. He couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him. Of course, he also had to give an explanation to Fan Xian, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Mr. Yao, you don't know that Mr. Fan is also looking for Teng Zijing's wife and children, and I have already received the money."

Yao Bin waved his hand and said to Wang Qinian, "Go to my house later to get one thousand taels. Teng Zijing is at my house right now. Just tell Fan Xian this."

Oh my God, one thousand and two taels of silver, Wang Qinian just felt that it was too much. He had to sell 500 maps at the city gate.

"Master Yao, is Teng Zijing really in your house? And Master Fan won't blame me, right?"

Obviously he was tempted by the one thousand taels of silver. Besides, when others looked for Teng Zijing's wife and children, wasn't it for family reunion?

"What do you say?"

"I'll take you there right now."

It didn't take much effort for the two to find Teng Zijing's wife and children. After all, Teng Zijing was just a minor character at the moment. The reason why the Second Prince wanted to capture these two people later was because Fan Xian valued them. Otherwise, would Li Chengze have noticed them?
In Yao Bin's mansion, Teng Zijing could hardly believe his eyes when he saw his wife and children. The next day was the day for the family to reunite.

Wang Qinian stood beside Yao Bin with a smile on his face. He hadn't received the money yet, so how could he leave?

"Master Yao, this matter has been settled, I wonder..."

In the end, he was too embarrassed to talk about money directly. After all, he still had to save some face.

Yao Bin asked someone to give Wang Qinian 1,200 taels of silver. The latter looked at it again and again, touched it again and again, and finally bit it twice in his mouth. He was a real money-grubber.

"The money is correct. Thank you very much, sir."

After saying that, he prepared to take the bag of silver and leave. He hadn't done such a big deal in all these years.

"Wang Qinian, I may ask you for information again in the future, but of course I will pay you back."

Hearing this, Wang Qinian's smile widened: "Master Yao, just give me your orders, and I will tell you everything I know."

This guy originally wanted to go home directly, but he felt that he should still tell Fan Xian. After all, he was the person sent by Chen Pingping to help Fan Xian, and to a certain extent, Fan Xian was his superior.

Fan Xian didn't expect that Teng Zijing was actually with Yao Bin.

"Wang Qinian, did you really meet Teng Zijing?"

Wang Qinian smiled and said, "Master Fan, this Teng Zijing did not disguise himself. I saw it clearly. This family is probably celebrating a reunion."

"Ok."

"Master Fan, I will not return the money I gave you at the beginning."

He was afraid that Fan Xian would ask him to return the money, so he gave this reminder.

Fan Xian didn't have the heart to care about these things, and immediately sent Wang Qinian away. He was now wondering why Teng Zijing appeared in Yao Bin's house? Was there something going on here that he didn't know about?

After thinking it over for a long time without any clue, Fan Xian decided to go to Yao Bin's house tomorrow.

Here, after Teng Zijing settled his wife and children, he ran to thank Yao Bin. This time was different from the time at the East Palace gate. Teng Zijing knelt down directly, which really helped him a lot.

I thought my wife and children had been killed, but I didn't expect them to be alive and well now.

"Thank you, Master Yao, for finding my wife and children."

"Stand up. I don't like others kneeling. Don't kneel to others at any time in the future. As the saying goes, kneel to the heaven, kneel to the earth, kneel to your parents, and forget about the rest."

Yao Bin's words could be said to be very bold and presumptuous. He thought to himself, would he not kneel down when he saw Emperor Qing?
Hearing this, Teng Zijing didn't dare to respond. He stood up and stood aside without saying anything.

After a moment, Yao Bin spoke again: "What are your plans for the future?"

How could Teng Zijing not see that Yao Bin asked him to do something? He naturally knew the principle of repaying a favor. Not only did Yao Bin save him, but he also found his wife and children. He had to repay him no matter what.

"Only at the order of Master Yao."

"Don't worry, I have something for you to do, but I won't force you. You can go back and discuss it with your wife. If you don't want to, I'll give you 1,000 taels of silver tomorrow, and then you can find a place to live."

Yao Bin spoke with sincerity and Teng Zijing naturally felt it. All the way from Danzhou to Kyoto, he also saw this kind of calmness in Fan Xian.

"me."

Yao Bin waved his hand and said, "Stop talking about me, me, me, and get busy."

That night, Teng Zijing and his wife discussed it for a long time and finally decided to stay and serve Yao Bin.

The next day, Yao Bin was woken up by Fan Xian before he even got out of bed.

After tidying up his clothes, Yao Bin said unhappily, "Master Fan, you're here so early, huh?"

Fan Xian had already met Teng Zijing by now, and he knew that Wang Qinian was not lying.

"Brother Yao, let me ask you why Teng Zijing is here with you?"

He had already asked Teng Zijing, but the other party refused to tell him anything.

Yao Bin thought that if Teng Zijing didn't want to talk about it, he definitely didn't want to mention being caught by the Eastern Palace, so he said, "This is a secret."

Fan Xian was speechless: "Well, here comes another person who wants to keep secrets. How did he become a spy?" (End of this chapter)
