Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 204 Preemptive Strike
"Sister! I kindly let you live at home, how could you!"

At the fourth watch, Second Sister You went back to the room and asked Mrs. You in a low voice.

Youshi was ashamed and angry, she didn't dare to look at Lai Shangrong beside her, she glared at Second Sister You and said, "You have the face to accuse me, it's not because of your plan!"

Second Sister You was not afraid of her, and asked instead: "I was plotting? There was a long time before and after, and I didn't see Eldest Sister yelling! If you don't obey, can Uncle use force?"

"You..." Youshi suddenly blushed and defended: "I have been crying all day today, and I am already groggy. How could I know..."

"Ha!" Second Sister You sneered: "I'm so groggy, but when the eldest sister called Lai Lang, I was very awake!"

"You actually eavesdropped!" Youshi blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at her sister again.

She learned about the sudden change in her family during the day and cried for most of the day. Second sister You deceived her into not coming at night. She also used the two sisters to whisper and sent Yindie away. She didn't think much about it and fell asleep in her room. go.

Never expected that Lai Shangrong would touch the room.

She had been out of shape for a long time and had not received any nourishment for more than a year. In the past two months, she had been flirted with by Sister You non-stop. She could not withstand Lai Shangrong's prowess.

Besides, abandoning this matter halfway is no different from hiding one's ears and stealing the bell.

"I'm not eavesdropping, I just went out for a while, and I didn't expect to come back but I heard eldest sister..."

"All right!"

Lai Shangrong glanced at Sister You helplessly and interrupted: "This is not entirely my fault, Sister You. I didn't make a careful analysis."

He really didn't know it at first, but by the time he realized it, it was too late.
At first, he thought it was Jia Zhen and You's plan. He thought that since he was caught with a sore leg, it would be worth the price. After the good things were over, he suddenly remembered that this was the arrangement of Sister You, and there was no way she could help. Pretending to be framed by outsiders.

However, consistent with You's thoughts, it is impossible to return the treasure to Zhao intact even if it is given up halfway.

In addition, Youshi wanted to refuse and welcome, so he was wrong to the end.

I thought I was just acting with Sister You, but I didn't expect that I was actually acting in a fake role. Thinking about it, I felt a little satisfied.

The shortcomings of the Ning Mansion that have always been untouchable have been made up for in a daze.

He didn't speak before, and watched the two sisters perform, not with a playful attitude, but because Ningfu lacked money, he was afraid that Youshi would suddenly wake up and take the opportunity to threaten him.

However, after observation, I found that Youshi had not thought about it yet, and was thinking about defining the matter. Even if there was a loss, he should try to control the loss within an acceptable range.

That's why I said it shamelessly, it's not entirely You's fault.

When Youshi heard that Lai Shangrong had taken over half of the responsibilities, he had no resentment, but instead a stone fell to the ground.

After all, this is Lai's house, and it is also the house of Lai Shangrong's concubine. Even if she lied about Lai Shangrong's coercion, someone would have to believe it. What's more, she is from a small family and is not welcomed by Jia Zhen, otherwise nothing would happen at home. It took many days for Jia Zhen to tell her about the accident.

That's all because Jia Zhen wanted to come to borrow money, otherwise she would still be kept in the dark.

She didn't know what the consequences of Lai Shangrong's matter were, but she definitely had no good consequences.

Moreover, at this moment, she finally felt the numbness in the bones and muscles in Sister You's mouth. When she thought of this, she still had some unspoken expectations, and unconsciously glanced at Lai Shangrong secretly.

Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Lai Shangrong's vicious gaze, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

Lai Shangrong is a veteran, and when he saw this, he didn't know where he was and he had already cleared the barrier.

Then he took retreat as an opportunity to advance: "Sister, do you want to inform Brother Zhen about this matter?"

Youshi exclaimed: "Don't! Don't!"

"That's fine! Just pretend it never happened!"

Lai Shangrong immediately characterized the incident.

He was afraid that Youshi would come back to him later and regret it temporarily, so he retreated in order to make progress and blocked it with words.

At this moment, Youshi was in a mess. As long as she expressed her unwillingness to tell Jia Zhen, and she wanted to go back on her word in the future, she would be on target.

Of course, if You Shi said something unexpected to him, he would also take the opportunity to draw it.

Second Sister You didn't know why, she just thought her uncle was domineering and it was okay to tell Jia Zhen. Suddenly her eyes were about to overflow with water.

"Master! Sister! This incident has always started, so how could it be possible to pretend that it never happened? I think my sister is also suffering. I am afraid that the family will not be able to solve the problem in the future. She will not be able to pay the job when she returns home like this. Instead of going home If you suffer, why not stay in our house forever, and we can work together as sisters in the future!"

Lai Shangrong secretly cursed his teammates, and was about to refute it when Youshi said: "But Yindie..." Is this because he plans to come and go often, but is he afraid that the maid will see the clues?
Lai Shangrong has always adhered to the three no principles regarding this kind of matter.

That is, do not take the initiative, do not refuse, and are not responsible.

But Youshi has taken the initiative, so why should she pretend to be aloof?
He quickly retracted his stretched-out legs, threw away the clothes he was wearing, sat back on the bed, and hugged Youshi's slender waist in time.

"So, there is a little girl named Xi'er in your East Mansion, and you will trade her for Yindie later!"

…………

At the same time Lai Shangrong returned to the field.

In the silent Zhuque Street, there was a rush of horse hooves.

"Drive! Drive! Military report! [-] miles urgent!"

……

……

Immediately afterwards, candlelight lit up in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the outer city of the Imperial City, and figures began to shake.

In a moment, dozens of figures from Wenyuan Pavilion came out of the pavilion and scattered in all directions of the capital.

As soon as the Forbidden Palace opened, Emperor Zhenglong received a military report.

After opening it, I couldn't help but burst into tears and rushed to the Daming Palace without stopping.

Afterwards, the Jinluan Hall in the morning court once again welcomed the arrival of the two saints.

The Supreme Emperor stood on the Golden Luan Hall, snorted coldly, pointed under the main hall, and questioned: "Huh! Qianxiang Country Xiaosheng? Qianxiang Country Xiaosheng, Xiyi still dare to knock on the side? If Zhou Qiong, the leader of Zhenhai, hadn't captured How long are you going to hide the news of the Qianxiang Kingdom's defeat from the Xiyi generals?"

King Bei Jing hurriedly came out first and said: "Return to the Supreme Emperor, probably the Qianxiang Army Report will not be sent back in time."

The Supreme Emperor angrily said: "Kneel down! I haven't asked you yet!"

Then, he yelled at the officials of the Ministry of War: "Why don't you report the truth!"

If the emperor asked this question, he would get twice the result with half the effort. After all, the reputation of being rebellious is not good.

However, most of the officials in the Ministry of War were close ministers of the Supreme Emperor. The reason why they obeyed King Beijing was because he was the spokesperson of the Supreme Emperor.

The Ministry of Industry is corrupt, the Qianxiang Kingdom is defeated, and the emperor's time is mine again. Unless the King of Beijing is a best friend, if the rest of them still don't know how to adapt to the situation, all these years of serving as officials will be in vain.

"Going back to the Supreme Emperor, the military reports received by the Ministry of War were all directly seized by King Beijing!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I once wanted to check the military report, but King Beijing scolded me!"

"The Supreme Emperor is aware that I did not lie about the military situation!"

……

So you said something to me, and sold the king of Beijing Jing.

After hearing this, the Supreme Emperor pointed at Beijing Wang Shuirong and said, "What else do you have to say?"

King Beijing kowtowed and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. The Qianxiang Kingdom is only a thousand miles away from the capital. There may be some unexpected changes. Please be aware of it!"

"You bastard, you dare to quibble!"

The Supreme Emperor flicked his sleeves and said, "I will now remove all military and political positions from Shui Rong and order him to return home to fast and reflect!"

People's hearts tend to soften when they get older. Looking at Shui Xiong lying on the ground, he is still his own grandson after all.

However, to say that it is fasting and reflection does not have anything to do with confinement.

He waved his hand and said half-heartedly: "The Dragon Guards are well guarded, please take him under custody!"

King Zhongshun said at the right time: "Father, please supervise me!"

"allow!"
