Chapter 212
In the bustling capital city, the squares and cities are neatly arranged, busy with traffic, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians.

Compared with other places, the law and order in the capital is much better, and there are few beggars begging for food along the way.

Lin Heng didn't go to his own courtyard, but turned around and turned into an alley.

In the alley, beggars gathered in twos and threes.

"Young master." The beggar at the head pulled his lips into a smile, and he picked up the bowl, "How much is the reward?"

The beggar is unkempt, but his teeth are white.

After Mingchen inquired, the beggar became a beggar because of a change in his family.And the changes that happened have something to do with Siwang.Therefore, Lin Heng intended to contact him.

Although he didn't want to fight for the throne, but now that Lin Yan was dead, Lin Wei was about to make a move.If Lin Wei is really called emperor, what will happen to him and Cheng Muqing?
During the disaster relief period in Bashu, he thought a lot.

Although my heart is full of contradictions, sometimes I feel that I should fight so that those in power can decide the future of me and Cheng Muqing.Sometimes, he felt that the broken throne really shouldn't appear in his world.

This conflict continued until I heard that the prince did not trust their couple.

Checking out "Sima Zhi" is so laborious.Only then did he realize how important it is to have a share of his own power.

And after hearing the news that the prince was dead, that sense of contradiction completely disappeared without a trace.

His current thinking is very simple, he needs to have trustworthy people around him, and also needs to establish a certain prestige.The most important thing is to prevent Lin Wei from getting what he wants.

Lin Heng took out some scraps of silver from his purse, "Is there anything unusual about the Prince's Mansion recently?"

The moment he saw the money, the beggar's eyes lit up, "If you go back to your son, I found out that His Royal Highness often goes to the Town God's Temple."

"City God Temple?"

"It's the dilapidated temple in the south, which has been abandoned for many years. Dayedi, there is not even a ghost around." The beggar replied, "It just so happens that the temple used to be the gathering place for us beggars. In winter, we will all go there to settle down."

"How big is that temple?"

"Uh...it's huge." The beggar waved his arms and gestured, "It can be as big as this street."

"What is the king doing there?"

"I don't know, we can't get in."

"You were there, did you find anything?"

The beggar looked at him and blinked twice.

Lin Heng handed him the money.

"Hehe~" The beggar took it and bit the silver with his teeth.

"Did you find anything?" Lin Heng asked again.

"It seems... well, it seems that there are many male voices."

many men...

"Yes, today my subordinates saw a few luxuriously dressed men going in and out." The beggar said, "But there are people watching over there. As long as we approach that area, someone will appear and drive us away."

Lin Heng lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"The person who the young master entrusted the villain to investigate, also has the result." Seeing Lin Heng's generous spending, the beggar was also quite frank.

A month ago, this son gave him copper coins for several days in a row.Although he makes a living by begging now, he also understands that there is no free pie in the sky.

Sure enough, the son asked him about two things half a month ago.

One is about Wang Xi's movements, and the other is about any talented people in the capital who should not be reused.

Lin Heng raised his chin.

The beggar understood, and said with a smile, "There is a strong man in North Street, named Zhuang Shi. He specializes in picking rice for the shops. According to the news our brothers inquired, he left his hometown and took all his wealth to the capital to participate in the martial arts test. Anyone with a discerning eye It can be seen that he is stronger than everyone else. In the end, the title of Wu Juren was won by a surnamed 'Huang', tsk tsk..."

"That person is a related family. Even though he lost to Zhuang Shi, he still won the first place." The beggar shook his head and said with a sneer, "Our Dajin... that's all."

There was a little loneliness in his eyes.

"What's your name?" Lin Heng asked.

"The little one..." the beggar paused, "The little one has a humble voice, and no one gave him a name. Why don't you give the young one a name?"

Lin Heng pursed his lips.

For a long time, when the beggar thought he would not name himself, he heard him say——

"Thinking." Lin Heng said.

"Thinking..." the beggar murmured, not knowing what to think of.

"My lord wants to go back to Taoyuan and escape from the struggles and schemes of the world... is that right?"

Lin Heng didn't speak, and turned to leave.

"Alas—" You thought stopped him, and said, "Master, your pastry smells so good...can you..."

"No." Lin Heng raised his hand and picked up the bag of pastries.

"My lord, would you like to hear some anecdotes we have learned recently?"

Lin Heng looked indifferent, he put away the money bag, and turned around to leave.

"Oh." Yousi stood up and followed him two steps.

But Lin Heng is a bit stubborn.He faces forward, regardless of him.

"Someone in Jiangzhou City has rebelled." Yousi said hastily.

"Rebellion?" Lin Heng repeated these two words with a complicated expression.

"Recently, many people have fled to the capital, and many of them have become beggars. I found out from them that some people in Jiangzhou City have incited farmers to rebel."

"Really?" Lin Heng turned around and asked, "Where are those people who escaped here?"

"Really, really." You Si said, "If you don't believe me, I'll take you there, Young Master."

"..."

……

Qi Wangfu.

With Jinxi here, even if he hasn't returned home for two months, he doesn't have to worry about something going wrong.

As her pregnant belly grew, Cheng Muqing's movements gradually became a little slower.With Jinxi's support, she got out of the carriage and walked towards the mansion.

She was still in the small courtyard, but just received the news that "Xu Jin has an important visit" from tomorrow morning, so she hurriedly got up and rushed to the mansion.

Xu Jin is not a joking person, he asked himself and said he had something important to do.That must be a big deal.

The main hall is square, the grand master chairs are neat and symmetrical, and the porcelain vase with flowers on the sandalwood table is as white as suet, which is extremely transparent under the sunlight.

"Master Xu." Cheng Muqing took the lead to salute him after stepping into the main hall.

"Princess Qi Wan'an." Xu Jin bowed, his eyes unconsciously looked at the pregnant belly of the other party, but quickly looked away.

"Please take a seat." Cheng Muqing led others to sit down, and then took the upper seat himself.

"Princess, this time, there is something about being like a king."

"Please tell me." Cheng Muqing said calmly.

"Master Shoufu seems to have belonged to the king-like camp." Xu Jin said while observing the other party's expression.

Hearing the news, Cheng Muqing's eyes flashed with surprise.But it was only for a moment, and Fang Fang returned to his usual calm and breezy appearance.

"Today, I was invited by King Si to visit the Town God's Temple. Although I didn't see His Royal Highness Si Wang, nor did I see anyone else... But I speculate..." Xu Jin raised his eyes to look at her, and his voice was clear, "Si Wang It seems to be raising soldiers."
