The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

"Ah."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

This time there was no check on his pass. Jiang Ning successfully left the city after he took out the gold medal and showed it to the soldiers guarding the city.

However, Jiang Ning did not stay out of the city for long, and returned again after nightfall.

The tall city walls looked eerie and silent at night, with soldiers guarding the tops of the walls.

Jiang Ning looked at the city wall facing him. Although it was tall, it was not a problem for him.

call out!call out!call out!

Jiang Ning stepped forward and flew towards the city wall.

At this time, several soldiers guarding the city on the top of the city were discussing some third-rate topics. They didn't notice Jiang Ning at all and only heard a slight sound.

"What's the noise?"

A soldier frowned.

Several people stopped communicating and began to explore around, but found nothing unusual. At this time, Jiang Ning was already in the city.

Jiang Ning was running towards somewhere quickly, his figure flashing in the darkness.

During these few days, he not only toured the capital, but also got to know the mansion of Marquis Zhang very well. At the same time, he was also investigating what Marquis Zhang had done.

He bullied men and women, disregarded human lives, acted tyrannically, and ordered his servants to beat civilians in the streets. Basically, no one had wronged him.

Jiang Ning walked very quickly and arrived at a luxurious mansion with the words "Zhang Mansion" written above the gate.

Jiang Ning raised his head, took a look, then turned around and went into the house.

A deep house in the marquis's mansion.

The bed was shaking violently, with the woman's moans and the man's heavy breathing heard from time to time. After a while, the bed stopped shaking after the man growled.

"My Lord, you are so strong."

On the bed, a woman said in a delicate voice.

Lord Zhang, who was lying on the side with his chest heaving violently, smiled complacently.

"Master Hou."

The woman lay on Lord Zhang's chest and said in a sweet voice, "Your Majesty has lifted your confinement. It is a cause for celebration."

Lord Zhang was very proud when he heard this.

"That's right. After all, I am the emperor's uncle. How could he really confine me?"

Today his wife went to the palace to meet the empress dowager, who made it clear that the little emperor had been released from house arrest at her request, and not only that, even the salary fine was waived.

Lord Zhang was very proud.

So what if you are the emperor? Your biological mother is my sister.

"Okay, I'm hungry too."

Lord Zhang patted the woman.

"Go ask the kitchen staff to get some food."

Although the woman was tired after hearing this, she obediently got up, put on her clothes, opened the door and walked out.

After lying in bed for a while, Lord Zhang got up and began to get dressed, but when he was halfway through, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.

As soon as Lord Zhang turned his head, he found that he could not move.

Jiang Ning withdrew his hand.

He had pressed Lord Zhang's acupoints, and the man could no longer move, but could still speak.

"It's you?"

Lord Zhang's pupils shrank when he saw the visitor's appearance.

"Are you the nephew of Chen Qingyuan?"

After seeing Jiang Ning's appearance clearly, Lord Zhang became furious.

"What are you doing in my mansion? Did Chen Qingyuan ask you to come?"

"Sending you on your way."

Jiang Ning smiled, but the smile was a little cold.

"what?"

Lord Zhang's pupils shrank again. He subconsciously felt something was wrong and was about to shout for help. The next second, Jiang Ning pressed his mute point again, making him unable to make any sound.

Lord Zhang looked at Jiang Ning with horror.

After pinning Lord Zhang down, Jiang Ning could kill him at any time, but he was not prepared to kill him with one sword. The crime he committed did not deserve such an easy death.

Jiang Ning took out a fire starter from his arms, lit it, and set Lord Zhang's clothes on fire. The fire began to spread along the clothes.

There was fear in Lord Zhang's eyes, he could already feel the stinging pain of being burned.

But at this moment, all his acupoints were pressed, and he could neither move nor speak. He could only watch himself combust.

Chapter 423: Leaving Beijing

A burning sensation and severe pain came over him, and Lord Zhang opened his eyes wide, with veins bulging on his forehead.

The intense pain almost made him faint.

why!

Lord Zhang roared in his heart.

The other party was Chen Qingyuan's nephew, so he must have been sent by Chen Qingyuan to kill him. He couldn't understand why.

How could the civil servants be so cruel? They even dared to attack a relative of the emperor.

Jiang Ning then set fire to a few more places to fuel the fire, and spoke at the same time.

"You think you are a royal relative and no one dares to touch you, so you act recklessly and arrogantly, bullying the people and killing countless people. And you have been safe and sound for so many years, huh?"

Jiang Ning's voice was very soft, but it made Lord Zhang's scalp tingle.

What on earth do you want to do?!

Lord Zhang roared in his heart.

"I went to a commoner's home. The three of them were originally happy and harmonious. But you forcibly took away their wife, and burned the husband, son, and the house to ashes. I will let you have a taste of this."

Jiang Ning said.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and soon burned Lord Zhang's entire body.

Jiang Ning took a step back and looked at Lord Zhang, who had become a fiery man, with no emotion in his eyes.

After watching for a while, Jiang Ning immediately set the house on fire. The fire spread rapidly and soon turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Jiang Ning was about to leave. Before turning back, he took a look at the fire man in the sea of ​​fire, then walked out without leaving any trace.

Before long, the situation here immediately attracted the attention of other people in the mansion, and the entire mansion suddenly became a mess.

"Firefighting!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

When the servants in the Marquis' Mansion saw the fire not far away, they hurried over here, but some of them were killed on the way, and some died before they could even leave the house.

However, because of the fire, no one paid attention to these things.

After doing all this, Jiang Ning left.

After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Ning headed towards the city gate, the same direction he came from before.

It didn't take long before they reached the city gate. Those soldiers were still guarding the city. Jiang Ning took advantage of their inattention to get down from the city wall and immediately left the capital.

call out!call out!

Jiang Ning's figure kept rising and falling in the night.

In fact, with his martial arts skills, it wouldn't be so complicated to kill an ordinary person, but the other party is a marquis after all, and this is in the capital, so he has to be cautious in his actions. It's better to be careful.

……

Zhu Shou was very angry.

He sat in the chair with a gloomy face and said nothing.

The other eunuchs in the palace didn't dare to make a sound.

They all didn't know why Zhu Shou was angry. They only knew that Zhu Shou came back from Kunning Palace with a gloomy face and didn't say a word. The atmosphere was very scary.

As slaves, they did not dare to go up and ask what had happened, for fear of incurring Zhu Shou's anger.

At this time, Zhu Shou's breathing became heavy and he forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

Not long after he returned to the palace, the empress dowager sent someone to the Qianqing Palace again and asked him to go to the Kunning Palace. Zhu Shou went there, but he didn't expect that after he arrived, the empress dowager told him that she had notified Zhang Yanling's wife in his name to lift Zhang Yanling's house arrest and waive the salary fine. This had not been discussed with him in advance and was only told now.

Zhu Shou was very angry and had a big quarrel with the empress dowager. The empress dowager was so angry that she pointed at him and asked him to leave Kunning Palace.

"I am the Queen Mother, your mother. The late Emperor never treated me like this when he was alive. Do you want to disobey me? Do you think you don't have to listen to me after you become the Emperor?"

The Queen Mother's words kept echoing in Zhu Shou's mind.

"Do you think I'm your father?"

Zhu Shou's face was very cold, and the muscles under his skin kept shaking.

As an emperor, his authority was so seriously challenged, and the person who challenged him was his mother.

Zhu Shou closed his eyes, and his mind unconsciously recalled the time when the late emperor was still alive.

He recalled an incident that happened in the palace eight years ago.

At that time, his father was still alive, and he invited the empress, who is now Empress Dowager Zhang's two younger brothers, Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling, to the palace for a banquet. In the middle of the banquet, his father went to the toilet, and Empress Dowager Zhang's younger brother Zhang Heling took advantage of his father's absence and put the emperor's Yishan crown on his head. A eunuch tried to stop him, but was beaten to death by Empress Dowager Zhang.

Apart from this incident, the following year Empress Dowager Zhang's two brothers entered the palace and raped palace maids, but nothing happened under the protection of Empress Dowager Zhang.

Zhu Shou's eyelids twitched as he recalled these past events.
