Chapter eight hundred and eighty eight other plans
Zhuocheng, Taifu's Mansion, in the study.
There were two people sitting in front of the lamp, Taifu Ling Shutong and Taifu's adopted son Ling Gumian.
"How are you doing Yiyi recently?"
"Father, I'm back to you. Yiyi is fine. She just caught a cold a few days ago and has been recovering for a few days. Now she's completely fine."
"As a father, I rely on my own flesh and blood, Gu Mian. I regard you as my own, and you must not disappoint my high expectations."
Ling Gumian responded with a sincere face: "Father, don't worry, Gumian will definitely not let Yiyi suffer any injustice."
"Well, I can rest assured if it's you, Gu Mian. You have to be careful in everything you do now and don't be careless. You won't have to worry about not having the chance to soar into the sky in the future."
"Thank you very much, father. I have no other extravagant wishes. I just want to take care of Yiyi for the rest of my life."
"Gu Mian, it's hard for you. You and Yiyi have just had an heir. These days, you have to take care of Yiyi on behalf of your father. If she gets angry, you have to be more patient."
"The child understands that the father is at ease and Yiyi is reasonable. The fact that the child can get what he wants is a blessing he has cultivated in his past lives. It is too late for Gu Mian to cherish it, so how can he be impatient." Ling Gu Mian said with a respectful smile.
"That's good." Ling Shutong looked at Ling Gumian lovingly, then changed the topic and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on in Zhuocheng these days?"
"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual. King Dingtian has been focusing on investigating the case these days, but he just looked through the previous case records. There is nothing unusual."
"Gu Mian, everyone in the Dagan court can look down upon him, but only King Dingtian cannot look down upon him.
On that day, the Grand Master was in trouble, and his plans that had been planned for several years were uprooted by King Dingtian overnight and completely defeated. This son is kind and tolerant, his thoughts are unpredictable, and he cannot be careless."
"Yes, Gu Mian has been checking carefully these days and found out that King Dingtian never entered the palace except on the day of his execution. I didn't hear that he joined forces with the harem.
The imperial court only used the Inspection Department and the Dali Department to investigate the case, and also asked for help from the Seventh Prince's Guards and Cavalry Battalions, but other than that, there were no other unusual measures, and there was no movement from the Privy Council. They are still on the fourth floor.
The prince and the seventh prince are under control."
"This is just an illusion." Ling Shutong narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Illusion? What does father mean?"
"King Dingtian has been in Zhuocheng for so many years. He is very familiar with the ways of officialdom and has studied the art of war. I am afraid that the things he did are for the imperial court to see. There must be some other means behind it."
Ling Gumian looked thoughtful and responded in a deep voice: "Listening to what my father said, it seems that King Dingtian is the only one busy these days. His subordinate Mu Tianlang is unusually quiet, and even the few masters beside him
He also lives in seclusion and rarely shows up."
"He built the plank road secretly to Chencang, and he attracted the attention of the people in Zhuo City. There must be some conspiracy behind these people.
Even King Dingtian may not have the ability to overturn the case within seven days. I'm worried that he has other plans."
"Could it be that King Dingtian deliberately lured the snake out of the cave and abandoned Yang Wanli for other purposes?"
"There is a possibility that Yang Wanli is now a dead move for everyone. Zhuocheng is staring at the two positions behind Yang Wanli, the Privy Council and the Inspection Department Shaoqing. Forget it, the Inspection Department Shaoqing, but the Privy Council Counselor
Knowing that there are many jealous people, King Dingtian will naturally not give in. After Yang Wanli is executed, there will be another turmoil surrounding the Privy Council in Zhuo City."
"Father, do you think Uncle Zong will escape death and turn danger into good fortune this time?" Ling Gumian said with a thoughtful expression.
Ling Shutong smiled sarcastically and said: "Seven days, is the life of a dignified Prince Da Gan only worth seven days?
If this is the case, then Da Gan's world is truly his own.
Even if someone deliberately plots this matter against Yang Wanli, trying to solve it in just seven days is nothing more than an idiot's dream, and there is nothing to worry about."
"Father, do you know the secret of this matter?" Ling Gumian asked cautiously.
Ling Shutong glanced at Ling Gumian and said calmly: "I don't know, but Yang Wanli usually looks loyal and patriotic, and acts unscrupulously, thinking that with the protection of King Ding, everything will be fine. This time, he is responsible for the accident.
You are seeking your own death, and you cannot blame others."
Ling Gumian snorted and whispered: "Actually, from the kid's point of view, the Counselor of the Privy Council and the Inspection Department Shaoqing are not the most important."
Ling Shutong nodded with interest and asked, "Tell me, what is the most important thing right now?"
"Father, the most important thing for our Tutor's Mansion right now is the Zhongshu Province." Ling Gumian looked at Ling Shutong carefully and then said softly, "There is also the Zhongshu Ling."
Ling Shutong's face twitched slightly. Ling Gumian's words hit the point of pain. The Zhongshu Ling that was still in Li Luo's hands had become a worry for Ling Shutong.
Li Luo was in charge of the Inspection Department and had Zhongshu Ling in hand. Although he did not have the title of Zhongshu Lingjian, he actually had the title of Zhongshu Lingjian. Emperor Wanlong's intention was clear at a glance. Even Zhongshu Sheng was in charge of the world's government affairs.
Be subject to Li Luo.
Ling Shutong only took the position of Shaoqing of the Supervisory and Legal Affairs Department as a matter of necessity. Although this position was powerful, it was somewhat useless to the Taifu, one of the three princes.
The most annoying thing is that he still has to work under Grand Master Di Jie. A mere reckless man got such an important task just because he was close to Li Luo. How could Ling Shutong not feel unwilling to do so.
Ling Shutong's face turned cold, and he was speechless for a long time. Ling Gumian whispered: "Father, this time may be an opportunity. King Dingtian is deeply rooted, and it is not easy to move his foundation. Besides, it will not be of any benefit to us, but we can take advantage of the situation.
Returning to Zhongshu Province is a good opportunity."
Ling Shutong's eyes flashed sharply, and after thinking for a moment, he was obviously a little moved, and nodded imperceptibly.
"And there is no need for father to step forward. Someone in the court will naturally stand up and cause trouble. When the time comes, father will just go along with the flow."
Ling Shutong was greatly relieved, stroking his beard and looking at Ling Gumian, he smiled appreciatively, but he kept his expression as he was thinking about what to do.
These seven days are destined to be sleepless nights in Zhuocheng.
Jie Cheng never dreamed that the official document allowing him to leave the city would fall into his hands so suddenly.
Ever since being escorted to Zhuocheng by Mu Tianlang, Jie Cheng has been looked down upon in Zhuocheng over the years. People come and go, all trying to squeeze some money out of themselves. They come and go when they are called, and are often ignored.
These big-blooded dog thieves make fun of and ridicule, but they still have to smile with them. If they are not careful, they will make things difficult in every possible way. In fact, their lives are worse than those of a dog from a wealthy family.
In the past few years, the money spent on these officials and villains in Zhuocheng has almost emptied all of Jincheng's savings. Even an ordinary Dagan soldier who guards the courtyard dares to give Jincheng a look.
