Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1053

Instigated intentionally or unintentionally by the shopkeeper at the front desk of Qingfeng Building who came back again, Ma Mengshi, Ma Mengcheng and Hu Chunduo were extremely angry and were about to take people to Mingxuan Pavilion to rob them.Suddenly a person came to Hu Chunduo in a hurry and said, "Second Young Master, the master wants you to return home immediately."

Hu Chunduo was stunned for a moment, he had never seen the person who came, he was not a member of the family, he was obviously a subordinate of his father in the Ministry of Security, but he did not really doubt the authenticity of the person in front of him, after all, his father had too many spies, He had only seen a few. He frowned, and seeing the impatient expressions of the Ma brothers next to him, he felt a little ashamed and said, "Didn't father go out of the city to run errands? Why are you back already? My son I have important things to do, why did my father ask me to go back, can I go back later."

The spy from the Ministry of Security said: "Second Young Master, I'm afraid this won't work, the master told you to return home immediately."

Although Hu Chunduo was a dude, he was quite afraid of Hu Sanguang, cursed secretly, turned around and said some polite words to the Ma brothers, and hurried away with his seven guards under the contemptuous eyes of the other party.Ma Mengshi looked at Hu Chunduo's back and said, "I won't bring such a disappointing guy with me in the future."

While talking, the two continued to head towards Mingxuan Pavilion with around twenty guards.

……

……

In Mingxuan Pavilion, Ye Chen was extremely disappointed in meeting Luo Yaoshun this time. Although Luo Yaoshun still accompanied him to drink, enjoy dances and listen to music, no matter whether it was the best singer and dancer in Xiajing City, or In Mingxuan Pavilion, Han Xizai secretly sent his own special chef to cook all the good dishes, Ye Chen followed Luo Yaoshun's kneeling, feeling dull.He just didn't want to completely lose the brotherhood with Luo Yaoshun, so he didn't turn around and leave. In order not to be cold, Ye Chen asked about Song Guo's current situation in detail by the way.

"In this way, the state treasury of the Song Kingdom is currently in a huge deficit. If any natural or man-made disaster suddenly occurs this year, I am afraid that it will not even have the financial resources to quell the disaster." Ye Chen sighed in his heart, suppressing his depression and regret in his heart, and forced himself His mind is focused on understanding the details of Song State.

"Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch. Song Dynasty's finances have indeed bottomed out. Even if the spring tax comes up this time, tens of thousands of troops are now sent to Jiangbei, regardless of whether it is with Sun Meishi from Jiangnan and Wen Zhanhui and Zhao Dezhao from the navy. , It costs a lot of money and food every day." Luo Yaoshun said with a little respect, and he didn't dare to meet Ye Chen's eyes from the beginning to the end.He has regrets in his heart at this time, but when he thinks that if his family wants to gain a foothold in Xiangfu Kingdom, he must put aside his brotherly relationship with Ye Chen and have the awareness of being a courtier, otherwise no court in the world can tolerate a brother who is called a brother with the emperor The courtiers exist.

Ye Chen nodded, thinking that if Zhao Pu and Zhao Dezhao fought, maybe he could take the opportunity to take Qinfeng Road and Yongxing Army Road of Song State first.However, it is estimated that the Empress Dowager Xiao of Khitan in the north will not let go of this great opportunity, Lou Yanming of Dali Kingdom will probably not be willing to be lonely, and the power in the hands of the Great Elder Yufeng who has been silent for a while is also Not to be underestimated.As for the Demon Lord Cui Xi, although he was difficult to deal with, he only wanted to practice magic skills and be promoted to a half-step innate power, but the pattern was very limited.

Thoughts turned in Ye Chen's mind, and he was thinking about major events in the world. Although Luo Yaoshun looked like he was listening to the music and watching the dance, his peripheral vision and almost all his attention were on Ye Chen.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the door, and a group of people came to the door of Mingxuan Pavilion, as if they were about to break in, but they were stopped by Lian Jicheng alone.When Ye Chen listened deeply, he already understood what was going on. Although he felt a little funny and didn't take it to heart, his depressed mood was getting worse and worse.After thinking for a while, he said to Xin Shi who had been waiting beside him all the time: "Decree to let Ma Wentao, Han Xizai, Yang Jiye, and Hu Sanguang all come over, and say that I invite them to listen to the music and enjoy the dance."

Xin Shi bowed and said yes, and then walked out. Lian Jicheng at the gate of Mingxuan Pavilion had already knocked down a dozen guards of the Ma family brothers. It's a bone fracture. With the level of medical skills in this era, there are eight or nine out of ten people who will be disabled in this lifetime.Seeing how powerful and fierce this man was, the remaining ten or so guards dared not continue to attack, but stood in the distance and yelled fiercely.

If Lian Jicheng hadn't learned from the other party's words that the two young princes were the grandsons of Zuo Chan Ma Wentao, he would have knocked them all down long ago.Feeling very impatient, Xin Shi came out and said to him: "Lord Lian, Your Majesty is very unhappy today."

When Lian Jicheng heard this, he looked at Mr. Ma and his party with murderous intent. He thought it was because these people disturbed His Majesty's interest.So, at this moment, he casually waved to both sides of Mingxuan Pavilion's courtyard, and said, "Break all their legs."

Under the stunned gazes of Ma Mengshi and Ma Mengcheng, four shadow guards suddenly appeared from nowhere, broke the legs of all their guards and their brothers without saying a word, and screamed suddenly, Seeing this, Xin Shi's expression darkened and he said in a low voice, "My lord Lian, don't let them disturb His Majesty."

Lian Jicheng's face was also very ugly, and he shouted: "Shut up, anyone of you who dares to yell again will be killed."

Lian Jicheng's ruthlessness had already frightened them, all of them gritted their teeth and groaned, their faces were pale, and their faces were covered with sweat from the pain in winter, but they didn't dare to scream anymore.They don't even have the ability to leave this place by themselves now.

"In addition, Your Majesty has a decree, please send someone to invite the left minister and the right minister, as well as the three great generals of the Zhu Kingdom to come here." After Xin Shi finished this sentence, he lowered his voice and said: " Your Majesty is in a bad mood right now."

After speaking, before Lian Jicheng could respond, he turned around and entered Mingxuan Pavilion.

Not long after, when Ma Wentao, Han Xizai, and Yang Jiye arrived in a hurry together and saw the courtyard full of their own guards and their two grandchildren, Ma Wentao's face was so gloomy that water could drip down, while Han Xizai's face was so deep that it was hard to fathom, and Yang Jiye's expression was astonished. , looking at Ma Wentao in surprise.

When Ma Mengshi and Ma Mengcheng saw their grandfather coming, they immediately shouted as if they had seen a savior.

"Grandfather, save me, there are thieves who want to kill me." Ma Mengcheng shouted first.

Not to be outdone, Ma Mengshi also yelled: "Grandfather, that dog thief wanted to kill me, and my grandson's leg was broken by these dog thieves, hurry up and let these dog thieves be arrested and killed. "

Since Lian Jicheng became the chief envoy of the Shadow Guard Department who was responsible for the personal protection of the royal family of the Xiangfu Kingdom, he has actually become the most special one among the important ministers of the Xiangfu Kingdom. Neither Hu Sanguang from the Ministry of Education nor Li Junhao, the superintendent of supervision, is as detached as him. No matter who sees him on weekdays, he dare not neglect him. He even looks indifferent and indifferent, while Ma Wentao and Han Xizai still smile. He said hello, so it has been a long time since no one insulted him as a dog thief. The most important thing is that he was born as a top killer in the Jianghu. Grass mustard makes no difference.Therefore, a murderous intent appeared on his face immediately, and he said: "Lead someone to assassinate His Majesty in vain, and the others will be sent to the Security Department to kill the two principal criminals."

The two shadow guards bowed and said yes, and a sharp dagger appeared in their hands, and they walked towards Ma Mengshi and Ma Mengcheng expressionlessly. At this time, the Ma brothers realized that the Mingxuan Pavilion was actually His Majesty the Emperor, and they were frightened. Completely soft, incontinent, feces and urine, next to Ma Wentao's face was already very gloomy, and his heart was extremely annoyed, he shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The two shadow guards did not respond, and continued to walk towards the Ma family brothers. Ma Wentao's expression changed, he turned to look at Lian Jicheng, and said, "Master Lian, the grandson of the old man, I will do it myself."

Lian Jicheng waved his hands expressionlessly, and the two shadow guards who had put their daggers around the necks of the Ma brothers stepped back. Ma Mengshi and Ma Mengcheng looked desperately at their grandfather who actually took a shadow guard. The dagger in the guard's hand came towards them.Because His Majesty's fact in Mingxuan Pavilion made them forget to beg for mercy for a while.

Ma Wentao walked very slowly, no one was willing to kill his grandson, Ma Wentao waited for His Majesty's mercy, of course he knew that the things outside could not be hidden from His Majesty's ears inside.Han Xizai's expression on the side is also very ugly, because the bigger the trouble here, his grandson Han Zizhu is the instigator behind the scenes, once it is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable. , even the real murderer.He had already made up his mind that if Ma Wentao really killed his two grandsons, he would have to let his grandson Han Zizhu die when he went back. Anyway, he had a total of seventeen grandsons, and it wouldn't be too difficult to kill one of them who was useless. It's a pity, if he and the entire Han family were involved because of this incident, the consequences would be unimaginable.Hu Sanguang had already arrived at this time, his face was expressionless, but he thought secretly in his heart: "Ma Wentao, this old thief is really too hateful, let him die with his two grandsons today."

Yang Jiye glanced at Mingxuan Pavilion, with doubts on his face, thinking that this is not His Majesty's character, and Lian Jicheng's daring to kill people probably got His Majesty's acquiescence, and His Majesty's move may have other deep meanings.

Thinking of this, Yang Jiye suddenly said: "Mr. Ma, wait a moment."

Then he turned his head and said to Lian Jicheng: "Lord Lian, the old man is going in to meet His Majesty now, to intercede for the Ma family brothers."
