Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

"Is this old guy thinking that this king is dead?"

The courtyard was silent.

The surrounding servants had already retreated, and Wu Yue stood in the courtyard, his head lowered, his expression becoming more and more respectful, and some did not dare to raise his eyes to look at the middle-aged man under the eaves in front!

Even after following the prince for so many years, Wu Yue still dared not say that he knew the prince. The prince's thoughts are very deep, far beyond what he can fathom.

"Zhao Qing found his subordinates this time with the intention of recruiting them to deal with His Royal Highness. He has evil intentions and may be detrimental to the palace."

Wu Yue spoke in a low tone and told the prince exactly what Mr. Zhao had mentioned to him.

He naturally knew the purpose of Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao made a special trip to find him this time, hoping that he would come forward.

Nowadays, the outside world is spreading rumors that something happened to the prince. Mr. Zhao found Wu Yue today, firstly to inquire about the matter, and secondly to win over him.

Wu Yue remembered the prince's instructions and did not reveal any information about the prince. However, this also aroused Mr. Zhao's suspicion that something might have happened to the prince!

In this way, it was natural for him to win over Wu Yue.

Zhao Qing’s plan is perfect!

He took a fancy to Wu Yue's influence in Prince Lin's Mansion and his potential. He is the most reliable person among the four close confidants around Lin Hengzhong.

After the news of Lin Hengzhong's accident came out, there was bound to be chaos in Prince Lin's palace. By then, Prince Lin's crown prince will have no prestige among Prince Lin's army, and will naturally be unable to take charge of the overall situation and stabilize the morale of the army.

And Wu Yue naturally became the most suitable candidate to appease the military morale!

In addition, the grudge between him and Lin Jiangnian... How could a general who had made great achievements at a young age be willing to succumb to the dandy prince in the future?

Likewise, Lin Jiangnian, who was the eldest son of Prince Lin, must also be wary of Wu Yue, a general with "high achievements and great achievements".

It is difficult to reconcile such contradictory grievances!

What's more, that prince is most likely a fake!

Zhao Qing doesn't care whether Lin Jiangnian is fake or not. He is the best. Even if he isn't...it doesn't matter!

The important thing is that people just believe in him!

Zhao Qing's calculation was not wrong. Wu Yue did despise Lin Jiangnian. When he went to take Lin Jiangnian back to the city on the prince's order, although there was no obvious friction, it was indeed not pleasant.

After returning to Linjiang City, the two of them had almost no interaction, and they were completely strangers!

Wu Yue had no intention of flattering and currying favor with Prince Lin. Lin Jiangnian had no intention of taking the initiative to make friends with General Wu, who didn't think much of him.

However, Zhao Qing still missed one thing after all... Wu Yue did despise Lin Jiangnian, but Wu Yue, who had followed the prince through life and death for many years, was loyal to the prince!

He looked down upon Prince Lin, but he had no favorable impression of the playboy and was worried that he would ruin the family fortune that the prince had worked so hard to build in the future.

But Wu Yue himself was loyal to the prince and loyal to the palace!

Mr. Zhao wants to drive a wedge between Wu Yue and Prince Lin's Mansion, but his plan is doomed to fail.

What's more, Lin Hengzhong was safe and sound from beginning to end!

All of this is a move he made!

He has been secretly observing the farce in Linjiang City, standing still!

…

"The Zhao family seems to want to take a dip in the troubled waters of Linjiang City!"

Under the eaves, Lin Hengzhong's face didn't show much emotion, just a little emotion.

"In the past few years, the Zhao family has used the banner of the prince to plunder the people's wealth and exploit the people. In private, they have been doing dirty things and colluding with other aristocratic families. They usually don't take Prince Lin's Palace seriously, and now they even intend to do evil to the Prince's Palace! "

Wu Yue's eyes were slightly cold, he lowered his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, we can no longer condone them."

Lin Hengzhong did not speak, looking careless.

He didn't take the Zhao family seriously.

The only troublesome person in the Zhao family is Zhao Qing.

As a member of the court who strongly supported his title of king, not to mention how much the Zhao family played a role in it, but in terms of public opinion, Zhao Qing was indeed tied to Prince Lin's Mansion.

In the eyes of everyone in the world, Zhao Qing is a major contributor to Lin Heng's re-emphasis on the title of king!

Lin Hengzhong recognizes this kindness!

Therefore, Lin Hengzhong has given Mr. Zhao enough respect over the years, not only for the Zhao family, but also for the world.

Over the years, I have done my best to be kind and righteous!

If the Zhao family could stay in peace, Lin Hengzhong would have turned a blind eye to the Zhao family's little tricks in private.

However, the Zhao family is not restless!

To be precise, for a large family like the Zhao family, their plans are not simple, and they will not place their family's hopes on a vassal king.

In the past few years, the Zhao family has not been honest and peaceful!

But because Zhao Qing is in charge of the Zhao family, there is such an old man, and coupled with the kindness from back then, Lin Hengzhong would not be able to do anything to the Zhao family even if he wanted to.

This Mr. Zhao is a figure that cannot be avoided!

Today, Mr. Zhao suddenly came to visit, and it was not convenient for Lin Hengzhong to show up.

Therefore, it was Jiang Nian who went to greet him!

Thinking of this, Lin Hengzhong's calm eyes showed a bit of relief.

When Zhao Qing came to visit and Lin Jiangqian went to meet him, what happened in the process had already been clearly reported to him by the people in the house.

Jiang Nian was worthy of being his son, Lin Hengzhong, and he certainly did not disappoint!

...Zhao Qing tried to show off his identity and qualifications to overpower Jiang Nian, but Jiang Nian didn't listen to him at all, and he didn't tolerate the old man at all, so he walked away angrily from Zhao Qing.

He couldn't do it, but Jiang Nian was just right to do it!

Zhao Qing was an old man, and he probably didn't have the face to argue with Jiang Nian, a kid. He had to take this loss!

Thinking of this, Lin Hengzhong narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he remembered something: "How is the investigation going for you?"

Hearing this, Wu Yue raised his head slightly, and said seriously: "I have almost finished the investigation..."

A few days ago, the prince ordered him to secretly find out the details of the various families in Linjiang City, strictly monitor the families, and investigate their personnel exchanges. He must find out the details of the various families in recent years!

This is an arduous task. The situations of the various families are complicated, and many people's whereabouts are hidden. It will not be accomplished overnight.

But the intelligence agency of the Linwang Mansion is not a vegetarian. In recent years, the Linwang Mansion has already put spies into the various families and various forces in Linjiang City.

Over the years, various forces have wanted to reach into the Linwang Mansion and investigate every move of the Linwang Mansion. But at the same time, the intelligence agencies of the Linwang Mansion had also already reached out to various noble families, secretly monitoring their every move.

The courtyard was silent, Wu Yue lowered his head and reported the results of the investigation to the prince in detail.

One by one...

After Wu Yue reported the general situation, he said in a deep voice: "I now have most of the evidence in my hands, which almost involves most of the noble families in Linjiang City, and even involves a large number of officials in Linjiang City..."

At this point, Wu Yue's face was solemn: "Prince, if these evidences are made public, I'm afraid..."

He didn't continue.

But the meaning is already very clear!

There are too many people involved in the things that the prince asked him to investigate! If we really want to investigate, most of Linjiang City will be involved!

Among these noble families, how many are clean? How many have not colluded secretly to do some shameful things? If we really want to completely eliminate them, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil in the entire Linjiang City.

Lin Hengzhong seemed to have expected this and was not too surprised. He asked, "What do you think the king should do?"

Wu Yue was startled, then lowered his head: "I don't know."

"If this matter is handed over to you, how would you solve it?" Lin Hengzhong asked again.

Wu Yue was silent for a while, and said solemnly: "This matter is not trivial, and I don't have such talent... If the prince asked me to do it, I should take it slowly first and not rush to do it. When the time is right, I will secretly uproot them one by one and eradicate them..."

Lin Hengzhong listened to Wu Yue's words, and did not deny or agree.

Just silent for a while, chuckled and said: "The aristocratic families can't be killed."

"After killing one batch, there will be another batch! People's greed is endless and can't be cut off."

Wu Yue didn't understand, looked up at the prince, and said puzzledly: "Then the prince means to let them go?"

"No, we still have to kill them!"

Lin Hengzhong's originally gentle eyes gradually became a little colder.

"If they are not killed, they will not be afraid. Without fear, they will dare to do anything!"

Hearing this, Wu Yue's heart suddenly shook.

He understood what the prince meant!

In recent years, in order to appease the people of Linzhou and develop the economy, the prince has been too gentle. Many people may have forgotten the fear of being dominated by the prince!

Thinking of this, Wu Yue's breathing became rapid, and his eyes gradually became excited.

The comfortable life in these years has not worn away the hot murderous aura in his heart. When he followed the prince to fight in the south and the north, he still maintained that momentum in his heart!

"Prince, please give the order, and I will definitely live up to your orders!"

"This matter will be left to you!"

Lin Hengzhong glanced at him: "You lead a personal army to do this secretly, and don't alert the enemy..."

As Lin Hengzhong spoke, he picked up the pen on the table beside him and slowly circled a few positions on the intelligence on the table.

After a moment, he dropped his pen and said, "Go ahead and do it well!"

"Yes!"

Wu Yue took the order and turned away.

Lin Hengzhong glanced outside the courtyard and murmured, "It's about time..."

"Come here, summon Dongfang Guanshan to see me!"

"..."

In Linjiang City.

When the news that Mr. Zhao went to the Linwang Mansion but was offended by the Linwang Prince and left in anger spread in Linjiang City.

At the same time, there was a rumor that Mr. Zhao came all the way to the Linwang Mansion for the Chen family.

Lin Jiangnian arrested Chen Hongsheng, the head of the Chen family, for no reason, which aroused the resentment of the family. Mr. Zhao personally went to the Linwang Prince and asked the Linwang Prince to release Chen Hongsheng, but was rejected by the Linwang Prince. Mr. Zhao left in anger.

This news quickly spread among the people and caused heated discussions.

There were all kinds of discussions. Some people praised the prince of Lin Wang for his righteousness and his lack of sympathy, and he was worthy of being called a great judge.

Some people also accused Lin Jiangnian of arresting people for no reason and being disrespectful to Mr. Zhao, which was really treasonous.

While the people were discussing it, a piece of news suddenly came out from the Lin Wang Mansion.

On the third day after Chen Hongsheng was arrested, after public opinion fermented in Linjiang City for three days, the Lin Wang Mansion, which had been closed, finally announced Chen Hongsheng's crimes!

"Chen Hongsheng's son Chen Junru was full of evil and should have been executed a few days ago. However, when he was taken to the execution ground, he was suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious assassin. After several days of investigation by the Lin Wang Mansion, the kidnapped criminal Chen Junru was finally found, and at the same time, the murderer who kidnapped Chen Junru was arrested on the spot!"

"After interrogation by the palace, the murderer confessed that he was ordered by Chen Hongsheng to rob the prisoner and save Chen Junru!"

"Chen Hongsheng's crime is so heinous that it cannot be forgiven! The Prince's Palace will transfer Chen Hongsheng to the government and set a date to hear the case in court..."

"..."

When the news came out, it caused an uproar!

In these days, as Chen Junru was kidnapped, there were various speculations among the people, and the quarrel was intense. And as the news suddenly announced by Prince Lin's Mansion, public opinion exploded instantly.

"Sure enough, it was Chen Hongsheng who did it. Who else besides him would save Chen Junru?"

"You dare to rob a prisoner, is Chen Hongsheng crazy?!"

"I have said it a long time ago, Chen Hongsheng is such a son, how could he watch his only son die? He must have done it, you must not believe it!"

"Fortunately, His Highness, the Crown Prince, prevented Chen Hongsheng from succeeding in his treacherous plan. He did a great job. Your Highness is worthy of being the Great Master of Qingtian!"

"..."

The people were in an uproar, and when the various families learned the news, many people were stunned!

No, is Prince Lin really crazy?

Is he serious? !

Originally, they were extremely shocked when Lin Jiangnian caught Chen Hongsheng in public, but now they didn't expect... that Prince Lin would actually do something so amazing!

Obviously these days, the opposition voices from various families are so strong that even Mr. Zhao came all the way to Prince Lin's Mansion to ease the conflict between the two families.

However, Prince Lin still insisted on going his own way and ignored him completely. He actually directly convicted Chen Hongsheng, and even handed Chen Hongsheng over to the government for interrogation in public? !

In this case, doesn't this mean that we are completely cut off from the Chen family, and there will be no room for maneuver? !

"You're crazy, you're crazy, how dare you?!"

Linjiang City, in a courtyard.

When Mr. Zhao heard the news, his face turned red with anger, and an angry look appeared on his old face.

"Does he really want to make Prince Lin's Mansion an enemy of everyone?"

"If Prince Lin's palace is left in his hands, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Mr. Zhao was so angry that his whole body trembled.

He had warned Lin Jiangnian that day, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't take his warning seriously at all!

It even got worse!

"grandfather……"

Zhao Jing stood aside and was extremely shocked when he heard the news.

Is Lin Jiangnian really crazy?

Let the government interrogate Chen Hongsheng, the head of a dignified family?

Where does this put the family's face? How will the Chen family gain a foothold in Linjiang City in the future? !

He is crazy!

Simply looking for death!

Zhao Jing was excited and sneered at the same time. He didn't expect that Lin Jiangnian would be so stupid and dig his own grave.

Now, let’s see how he faces the anger of the noble family? !

"Grandpa, what should we do now?" Zhao Jing suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

"He's finished!"

Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "This time this guy has aroused public outrage, let me see how he ends up?!"

"Prepare the car, I'm going to the Zhou family and the Wu family!"
