wealthy lord

Chapter 783 The fun begins, Li Jing’s end

Lin Yun stared at him with a smile, as if staring at a prey.

Lin Yun will definitely accept the thirty million taels of silver, but he will not let Chu Yin go.

The trap has been dug, and now it's time for Chu Yin to jump into it.

Lin Yun nodded and smiled: "Hey, since it is King Chu Jiang's wish, it would be unjustifiable if I don't accept it!"

With that said, he handed the 30 million taels of silver note directly to Fulin'an.

"Fu Zhongtang, this money should be used directly to fill the national treasury!"

Fulin'an was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the banknote.

"I obey my orders!!"

Chu Yin was a little surprised, but he was too lazy to meddle in his own business and asked: "Then when does the regent plan to release the queen mother? She is old and her body and bones cannot withstand the torment, so don't get sick in the clan mansion!"

Lin Yun turned to look at Qi Changyun behind him and said, "Did you hear that, Master Qi? His Royal Highness has spoken, why don't you go and pick up the Queen Mother?"

Before he came, he greeted Qi Changyun. Qi Changyun naturally knew what he meant, but he was a little embarrassed: "The prince's order, the subordinates naturally dare not resist, but the subordinates are only the admirals of the nine gates, in charge of the infantry and command of the yamen, and the real management of the clan. The people in the residence are all from the Li family, this..."

Lin Yun shrugged and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, did you hear that? It's not that I don't do things, it's that I really have no choice! After all, the Queen Mother is a member of the royal family. Regardless of whether she is guilty or not, since she has entered the clan's mansion, she must act in accordance with the rules. ! But don’t worry, I will use my life and property to guarantee that the Queen Mother will be safe and sound! I will personally go to the Emperor in the next few days to give the Queen Mother her freedom as soon as possible!”

Chu Yin's face was livid. He knew that Lin Yun and Qi Changyun deliberately played a double act, but he didn't dare to really fall out.

He may not take Fulin'an and Du Sheng seriously, but Lin Yun, the regent, is a powerful figure, and he also possesses advanced weapons and equipment that the Chu family could only dream of obtaining.

In fact, it wasn't that King Chu Jiang had to save the Queen Mother. How could a person who could become a vassal king really be bound by family ties? He is not a soft-hearted person, but hopes to take advantage of the rescue of the Queen Mother, spend a small amount of money to do big things, and obtain weapons and equipment.

This is a typical political manipulation, using the Queen Mother's life as a bargaining chip in order to obtain maximum benefits.

"That's it...since the prince has said so, I'll just wait for the good news from the regent!"

"Haha!" Lin Yun laughed heartily: "Brother Chu, you have finally come to the capital, and I will entertain you well! Let's go to my Yun Mansion and let's have a drink!"

Chu Yin looked embarrassed. He couldn't figure out Lin Yun's depth, and he didn't know if it was a trap.

But if Lin Yun's face is refuted, the previous 30 million taels of silver will be wasted.

After thinking about it, he stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey my orders!!"

From a personal standpoint, Chu Yin also hopes to become friends with Lin Yun.

If he could establish a personal relationship with Lin Yun, it would be of great benefit to him in his subsequent fight for the Chujiang throne.

Lao Wang also came to have children at an old age. He only had two sons, Chu Yin and Chu Xiang, so he has been deciding who to choose as his successor for so many years.

After that, everyone walked out of the VIP building and headed straight to Prince Yun's Mansion.

at the same time.

Jing Palace, Wangchun Garden.

This place has long been abandoned and was once the place where the late emperor died.

The red lacquer courtyard walls have faded, and there are even cracks in some places. Many weeds have grown on the bluestone floor, and the surrounding area is deserted.

Only an abandoned palace stands in this palace courtyard.

It can be seen that Lin Yun placed Li Jing under house arrest here, which was equivalent to telling him that he would eventually be buried here. Li Jing sat alone on a dilapidated Taishi chair, with only an oil lamp on the table. The light was flickering, indicating that Li Jing's life was about to come to an end.

Li Jing has not said a word since he was imprisoned here.

All day long I put my hands in my sleeves and stared blankly at the spiders on the peeling paint pillars.

At this moment, the Eight Wise Kings were sitting opposite him, also silent.

The two brothers were once very passionate and hoped to achieve something successful.

But now, one of them is under house arrest and has become the deposed emperor, and the other is completely controlled by Lin Yun. They seem to be free, but they can't control their own lives.

At this time, the spider on the pillar suddenly crawled to the back and escaped Li Jing's sight. Only then did he lower his eyes and look at the Eight Wise Kings opposite.

He smiled slightly: "Did my eighth brother make a special trip to visit me this time, or did he come to see me off on his behalf?"

The Eight Wise Kings said bitterly: "Is it important?"

"Of course! I have been thinking about the past experiences of the past ten years every day during this period! I also have a lot of emotions! If I are given another chance, I will definitely not kill the third child, let alone fight for the throne. Maybe in this case, we Li The family’s empire will not fall into the hands of Lin Yun!”

A trace of sadness flashed in Li Jing's eyes. People only regret when they lose something.

But the experience left by the predecessors can never awaken future generations.

The Eighth Sage King frowned and said, "What's the use of regretting now? Fourth brother, stop making excuses for failure! Our Li family has already lost, not only in politics, but also in the country that our father left behind!"

Li Jing laughed at himself, stood up and came to the Kang. He looked at the four exquisite side dishes on the table, reached out and grabbed a piece of beef and started eating.

"Badi is so interested! He actually knows that I like beef the most! Is this Zhiyi's cooking skill?"

The Eight Sages looked at his back blankly and said sadly: "Zhiyi is now the concubine of the Regent!"

Li Jing paused for a moment and continued eating.

Immediately, he picked up the jug and drank heavily, then placed the jug heavily on the table. He chewed the beef absentmindedly and said, "Didn't the eighth brother ever think about revenge?"

"Revenge? Easier said than done! Lin Yun now is no longer the Lin Yun he was when he first came to Beijing! He has already gained great power, and the powerful ministers who supported Fourth Brother in the past have all come under his command! Even myself, Everyone must choose to surrender..."

Li Jing nodded, sat directly on the kang, and waved: "Come over and have a drink together!"

The Eight Wise Kings sighed: "It's better for the fourth brother to eat this decapitated meal by himself!"

Li Jing's pupils shrank, and he grabbed another piece of beef and started eating it.

"Haha, what was supposed to come finally came! Did Lin Yun ask the eighth brother to send me off?"

"Yes! Fourth brother, if you have any regrets, you can tell me. I will try my best to help you make it happen!"

Li Jing fell into silence for a moment, and suddenly swept several dishes on the table to the floor.

"Crackling!!"

The sound of broken dishes echoed through the empty hall.

"I can die, but the Li family's empire must not be ruined in my hands! Otherwise, I will really have no shame in going to see our father!"
