Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 566: Unprecedented Queen Kidnapping Plan

Having not seen Lao Zhang for a long time, the two of them drank a lot of wine. When they were leaving the house, they were caught by the brigade and taken to the yamen because they pulled a passing girl to join the Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood.

In fact, judging from their looks and temperament, the girl who was dragged was actually willing to join them in the Peach Garden Three Heroes. The key point was that the girl’s husband was not very happy about it, so this happened.

When the two of them were taken to the yamen drunk, the chief clerk in charge of registration almost couldn't stand still. He hurriedly paid some money out of his own pocket to compensate the sister's man and sent him away.

After all, it's New Year's Day, and it's very annoying to get involved with such things. But that sister must be regretting not being able to complete the Peach Garden Oath of Brotherhood.

Finally, it was Wu Ning who came to lead the group. After returning, he scolded Lao Zhang. As for Xia Lin, he didn't say anything, but he still said something in a roundabout way.

The two of them spent the whole afternoon sobering up at Lao Zhang's place. Now Wu Ning threw a bottle of sweet vinegar on the table: "Drink!"

Xia Lin turned around and rubbed his head: "Headache."

And Lao Zhang sat there with a dead look on his face: "The wine from that store is not very good."

At this moment, Wu Ning spoke up: "By the way, the young master of the Lin family from Changsha City has come to Jinling."

Xia Lin raised his head: "Who?"

"Young Master Lin has changed his name to Lin Wei. He has come to Nanjing to prepare for the imperial examination next spring."

Xia Lin immediately sat up: "My super handsome apprentice?"

"Exactly. He is quite amazing. He passed the examinations for the title of scholar and juren in the past few years, and now he is going to take the examination for the title of jinshi. He is really capable."

Xia Lin laughed at this moment: "I told him that he would be able to see me when he passed the imperial examination. Where is he now?"

"He settled down in the alley outside the Imperial Examination Hall, but it seems his family has fallen on hard times, so he came with his wife and children this time." Wu Ning sighed and said, "It seems like he's not doing well."

"Isn't his family extremely wealthy? How did they fall into poverty?"

"When doing business, ups and downs are normal. Besides, Changsha is not a good place. My father has lamented many times that if those clan elders and fellow villagers are not eliminated, Changsha will never be a good place." Wu Ning leaned there and smiled, "It is probably because some of his family's previous backers left, and some people who don't get along with him took over. But fortunately, Master Lin is still ambitious. If he can become a Jinshi, it will be an honor for the family."

Xia Lin nodded: "Then I'll go meet him when I have time."

"He's the fourth house on the alley that turns left from Gongyuan. It's the one with the jujube tree in the yard."

As evening approached, Lao Zhang and Xia Lin had a quick bite, then sat in the house, warming themselves by the fire and chatting.

"Yesterday Tuoba Jing asked me to kill the queen."

"He has shit in his head, don't bother with him." Old Zhang picked at the water chestnuts in his hand and laughed, "There is no such thing in the world. Killing the queen of a country? What a joke."

"I agreed."

"Ah?" Lao Zhang straightened his back immediately: "Are you sane? How dare you agree to such a thing?"

Xia Lin pursed his lips for a long time without saying anything, just holding the teacup and drinking sip after sip: "If I don't help him do this, I can't leave Jinling. Only if I do enough dirty things, he will be willing to let me leave."

"I thought you guys had a good relationship."

"The relationship is actually good, but he is the emperor. I told him yesterday that once you become the emperor, don't expect to talk about intimacy. In fact, we should all understand this. He asked me to do this, and the essence is still the game between the monarch and his subjects." Xia Lin lay on his side in the chair: "After all, I can attack the Turkic royal court and the Jinling camp, so he is afraid. It's human nature."

"Yes, that's the point. So do you really intend to kill the queen?"

"I'm actually very conflicted about this matter. You know me. I'm not a bloodthirsty person. The queen is at most someone who has an affair outside, and the crime of committing an affair is not punishable by death. Our brother Jing actually has some personal grudges involved. And I'm telling you, I can't do this. If I do it, it will greatly damage my reputation."

Old Zhang was silent at this moment. This was indeed difficult for Xia Lin. If Emperor Jingtai did not let him leave the capital, it would make sense, after all, he was still a minister of Wei. But if he could not leave the capital, then the third five-year plan of Jiangnan Road would be difficult to implement, because there was no one who could keep his word. In fact, many factions had emerged in Jiangnan Road in the past two years. Without a strong person who could suppress everyone, it might not fall apart, but there would definitely be big problems.

Otherwise, how can this be called a game? Emperor Jingtai is not smart but he has smart people around him. It is safest to tie Xia Lin to his chariot.

The best solution at the moment was to sacrifice a person of importance, and the queen happened to meet all the requirements for sacrifice.

"This is really troublesome." Old Zhang rolled his eyes several times: "We can't show up at all."

"That's nonsense, whoever comes forward will be in trouble, and the relatives will not let him go."

"Hmm." Lao Zhang pondered for a long time: "Now is the time to start the nail I buried."

"Where did you bury the nail?"

"You will know when the time comes. Don't worry. Just live a life of drunkenness and dreaming for the next few days."

In the following days, the entire Jinling city was immersed in the joy of the New Year. The streets were full of busy figures and every household was filled with joy.

This is probably a true portrayal of a small imperial court with prosperous commerce. Relatively speaking, the people in the south live a better life. On the one hand, Emperor Jingtai continued Emperor Hongbao's people-friendly policies. On the other hand, the Jiangnan Road is right next to it as a reference, so the people are relatively wealthy. Even the people at the bottom of the society may not be so well off, but at least they are not living on tree bark like those in the north.

This was probably the purpose of Emperor Hongbao's migration to the south. It must be said that Emperor Hongbao deserved the title of Emperor Renzong. Even after many years of his death, he was still protecting the world. No wonder people in the society discredited everyone except Emperor Hongbao. Even the history books of the aristocratic families could hardly start to discredit him. They could only hurriedly write down a sentence "cowardly and tired of war, left Beijing and went south", and that was all.

But if someone is interested and takes a quick look at the history books, they will know how great the personal charm and political skills of Emperor Renzong were. However, he was in a situation and could not escape the cycle of history. That's all.

Of course, people in the market still say that his ability is average, and it’s not others’ fault. The main reason is that he really gave in and handed over the northern region, and there is no way to wash his hands of this.

Two days before the New Year, Emperor Jingtai said that he would inspect the camp and reward the three armies. Everyone knew that the emperor was frightened of Xia Daosheng, who was like Huo Qubing, so he went to inspect in person, so this was reasonable.

However, he left in a hurry. He set off the next day after he said he would inspect the camp. It was rumored that even his personal guards were replaced by the queen's family's death squad this time, because most of the palace guards now were from the new army, and the new army was Xia Daosheng's men, so the emperor did not dare to use them lightly.

As a result, various versions of the story began to emerge among the people, saying that there was discord between the emperor and his ministers, that Xia Daosheng's achievements were so great that they frightened the emperor, and that Emperor Jingtai might become a puppet emperor.

Anyway, all kinds of rhetoric emerged one after another, and everyone speculated whether something was going to happen in Nanjing City, so Emperor Jingtai hurried to the Jiangbei camp to protect himself.

But the people didn't care about all this, they still lived the same stable life, and it happened to be the spring break, and except for some confidential government offices, the whole city of Jinling was immersed in an atmosphere of decadence and decadence. After working hard for a year, who didn't want to have a good meal?

"Why doesn't she react at all? Did you leak the news?" Old Zhang was full of doubts when he came to Xia Lin. Emperor Jingtai had been away from Beijing for three days, but the Queen had not reacted at all. She was doing something in the dark harem every day.

Xia Lin leaned on the heating pad and yawned: "You ask me, who should I ask? I haven't even seen him these past few days. How could I leak any information? I have to rely on Wu Ning to bring me meals."

"Then why isn't she in a hurry to see her lover?"

"Maybe it's your period." Xia Lin raised his chin: "Tell me, did you activate that nail?"

"Not yet. She hasn't moved. What's the point of me activating it?"

"Let's start it now. We're just sitting there doing nothing anyway."

Lao Zhang didn't say much, he just ordered his confidants from the Investigation Department to come to him, and he just gave a task description.

This kind of thing definitely could not be done by people of their level personally, but as soon as he gave an order, a group of people immediately started to work.

First of all, he is a nail deeply embedded in the market. He is the main source of market intelligence. His identity is equivalent to Chen Haonan in Young and Dangerous. He is like a fish in water among the local gangs in Jinling. Relying on his ability to get along with everyone, he can have a say in front of all the bosses.

After this man was activated, he was obviously stunned when he saw the mission target. He totally didn't understand why his superiors would assign him a mission to kidnap a woman.

But as an excellent lurker, he clearly knew that when he was activated, it would be a very important and dangerous mission, and from the moment the mission was passed to him, more than fifty people were ready to die for him at any time.

However, the lurker did not hesitate at all and immediately immersed himself in his identity. He left home as usual and wandered the streets of Jinling. If he saw a beautiful woman passing by him, he would reach out and twist her waist and hips.

If someone is angry and comes forward to provoke a fight, the lackeys around him will rush over.

He is a typical rogue, a character hated by everyone in Jinling City, but relying on his abilities he can move among various forces.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Cha? Do you want to buy some New Year's goods to take home?"

Mr. Cha walked over to the stall, grabbed a handful of dried fruits here and a few candied fruits there, took a few bites and vomited: "No, no, this is all rotten trouble."

"Hey, it's not easy for Second Master to get good stuff. Junior, come out and lead Second Master to the inner hall to select the best dried goods from the Western Regions."

When he heard this, Cha Er raised his eyebrows, recognizing the secret code, so he sneered and began to respond: "Western dried goods? No, no, I like Mobei's dried meat, do you have any?"

"We have everything. Please come in."

As the second master entered the house, the young man led him to the yard, and then to the inner hall, where he met the flag officer of the Investigation Department.

"Cha Er, long time no see."

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly." Cha Er looked around and tried to see if there was an ambush. "What's the big deal that you have to activate me?"

"I can't activate you. Only one person can activate this big nail of yours." The flag chief said with a smile, "You know that the higher-ups asked you to tie up a person, right? This is the portrait. Remember it well. It would be best if it doesn't go through your hands."

Cha Er stepped forward and took a look at the portrait. He only glanced at it for a few seconds before he remembered it: "Empress?"

"Hush." ​​The flag chief said with a smile, "Is it okay for you?"

"You guys didn't intend to let me live, so this is something I can do?"

The flag chief chuckled and said, "Don't worry, a master like you, we will not let you fall easily. This time, you need to pretend to be attracted by beauty, do you understand what I mean?"

Cha Er rolled his eyes and said, "Then I need some experts to cooperate with me."

"Don't worry." Mr. Qi stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, now that the vote is done, I will have to call you sir."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"You and me..." The flag bearer poked his head at his neck: "So we can only succeed, not fail."

Cha Er nodded and said, "Then I will leave first. Please let me know when the date and time is."

Because it was difficult to grasp the movements of the Empress, Xia Lin and his companions waited until New Year's Eve. Since the Emperor was not at home, the banquet in the palace was hosted by the Empress, and it was already late at night.

And at this time when no one thought it was impossible, the Queen took action...

She disguised herself and used the old method to take a few people out of the palace through the side door using the pass token from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Then she disguised herself again on the way, and after dressing up as a man, she came to the brothel.

The so-called most dangerous place is also the safest place. Here her lover brother has been waiting for a long time. And here, no matter how unruly she is, she will not attract attention.

But this time it was different. The moment she walked out of the palace gate, many pairs of eyes were staring at her, and the moment she entered the brothel, Cha Er had already received the secret order.

This was originally a place where all kinds of people gathered together. Cha Er was here at the moment, but he did not show any expression at the moment and was still bragging with the gangsters around him.

Time passed minute by minute, and the Empress and Governor Li Mi made love in the room decorated with carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, and expressed their longing for each other to each other.

"Even your personal guards were borrowed?" Li Mi was a little curious after hearing this: "Well, it seems that the struggle between the king and his subjects has reached the point of close combat, otherwise they would not have sent me back to Zhuozhou. You should also be careful these days."

"Cousin... I can't bear to leave you." The Queen's voice was sad and charming.

This was something that Emperor Jingtai had never gotten from her in his entire life. When they got married, the Queen was only thirteen years old, and now she was thirty years old. In the past twenty years, no matter how she looked at Emperor Jingtai, she felt disgusted with him. It was already difficult for her to speak to him in a gentle and soft voice on weekdays, and it was impossible for her to be so attached to him.

"There's no other way. Xia Daosheng is really hard to deal with. I need to go back and prepare as soon as possible. Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

"Ah."

At this moment, Li Mi heard the third watch gong sound outside. He sighed and sat up: "You rest for a while, I should go back too."

"Brother, be careful on the road."
