Chapter 311: The Cui Family's Enemy

Chapter 311: The Cui Family's Enemy

(Congratulations to the reader "Captain of the Flying Dutchman" for becoming the leader of this book.)

The commander-in-chief was regarded as the top general of Daiguo, but there were not many soldiers under his command, and even fewer were willing to follow the commander through fire and water. Deng Cui, the commander-in-chief of Daiguo, led more than 30 soldiers, including more than a dozen servants, and successfully entered the palace. A hidden sharp blade was suddenly pulled out from outside the gate of the lady's residence, and a charge was launched.

The gatekeepers and the four Yiwei sent by the emperor were shocked. They thought that they could scare away a madman like Yin Xiaoyaner by standing here with their heads held high. A group of people, led by a well-known general.

The battle unfolded, and the unprepared party was immediately defeated. The emperor's guard was tall and mighty, but the halberd in his hand was made of wood, and there were only four people. On one side, neither participating nor running away, pretending not to see the scene in front of you.

It was the door that blocked Deng Cui and others. Mrs. Ping'en Hou was more vigilant. When she heard the noise outside, she immediately ordered the maids to lock the door and found a table, chair and bench to block the door.

Several noble ladies from the royal palace who came to escort still didn't leave, all of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and when they heard that it was Deng Cui, they were all puzzled.

Mrs. Pingenhou was also inexplicable. She and her third sister, Cui Zhao, sent the son of the champion Hou from thousands of miles. Although it was just an excuse, it was also a bit of hard work. A few days ago, Deng Cui also sent his wife to come to thank him. How do you turn your face away?

Deng Cui ordered the door to be smashed, but the news had already spread. Hundreds of elite soldiers from the southern and northern armies rushed over and took down Deng Cui and others without a single shot.

The whole farce lasted less than a quarter of an hour. Although the courtyard gate was damaged, it was not breached, but the impact of the incident was great.

First of all, Cui Zhao was frightened and frightened. He really couldn't get out of bed, and burst into tears, lamenting his miserable fate.

The second was King Dai. He had to get up from the bed because of a hangover and ran to the emperor to apologize. Deng Cui was not only the commander of Dai Guo, but also his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and he was making trouble in the palace. Pleading for him, I just hope that my family will not be implicated.

Liu Jie, the superintendent of the middle division, finally couldn't bear it anymore. If something like this happened again, he was afraid that even the safety of the emperor would be lost, so he expelled the king's family from the palace, and the emperor's guards took over the entire palace. There are three layers outside the layer, and the strictness of the guard is no less than that of the palace.

Cui Zhao stayed in the palace, and if there was another accident, he could only blame the emperor.

But there is one thing no one has figured out. Why did Deng Cui turn his face? Even at the expense of his own status and future?

The criminal Zhang Jing failed to make a contribution in Luoyang. This time, he acted very quickly. The king was still lying on the ground to plead guilty.

The obese Daiwang was crawling on the ground, snorting and tearing at Chen Dengcui's disobedience and lax discipline. While asking for the guilt, he also blamed his wife and brother.

Han Ruzi was tired of hearing it for a long time. For the sake of his elders, he endured it until now. When he saw Zhang Jing coming in, he immediately waved his hand to let the eunuchs help Dai Wang aside, and then asked, "Zhang Jing, have you checked? "

Zhang Jing took a few steps forward and said, "Deng Cui, the captain of Dai Guo, refused to speak, but his soldiers and servants confessed. It is said that Deng Cui is avenging the champion."

"Huh?" Several people in the room asked at the same time.

Cui Teng was forced to stay by the emperor, and was even more angry at this time, "Nonsense, my sister is the champion Mrs. Hou, Deng Cui should not seek revenge, she should..."

Cui Teng glanced at the King of the East Sea. It was rumored in the capital that the person who poisoned the champion Hou was the daughter of the Tan family, but the matter was so involved that he did not dare to mention it.

The king who was kneeling on the side raised his head, wiped a few tears from his face, and said in surprise: "No way, Deng Cuiming is very grateful to the champion Mrs. Hou, who sent his wife to visit several times and gave him a lot of gifts."

Zhang Jing lowered his head and said nothing.

Han Ruzi waved, and the eunuchs asked the king to step back, leaving only the guards and a few people in the room.

Zhang Jing said: "Dai Wang is right, Deng Cui was very grateful to Mrs. Champion Hou, but since what happened last night, there have been rumors all over that Champion Hou died...at the hands of his wife, and some people even said Champion Hou's son was killed long ago, and the baby sent to Daiguo is a fake."

Han Ruzi was stunned, "What's the reason?"

"It's rumored that no one has mentioned the reason. Everyone seems to think that this matter is logical. Some people say that the Deng family has declined and was overwhelmed by the Cui family. Deng Cui is furious because of this and feels that he has been deceived..."

Cui Teng blushed with anger, "Who? Tell me, who dares to say such nonsense?"

Zhang Jing still bowed his head, "It's just a rumor, the source has not been found out yet. There is also a saying that Deng Cui met the champion Mrs. Hou, so... he was also bewitched."

Cui Teng has never been so angry before, "Your Majesty, let me investigate the case, even if Jincheng is turned upside down, I will arrest all those who chew their tongues and stop the whole Jincheng from shutting up, my surname is not Cui. !"

"Do you think the matter is not big enough?" Han Ruzi was also very angry. He was annoyed that these powerful families were not prioritizing their priorities, and the great Chu was at stake, but they were still thinking about their own honor and disgrace. Even if Deng Cui was really talented as a general, he would still Will not reuse, "Zhang Jing, this matter is handed over to you, negotiated with Dai Guo, and deal with it according to the law."

"Follow the order." Zhang Jing bowed and stepped back, the emperor's sentence "You don't think it's big enough" has given him a reassurance, knowing what to do.

But Cui Teng was dissatisfied, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, the matter can't be over like this, obviously someone is targeting the Cui family..."

The King of the East Sea on the opposite side gave a wink. Cui Teng was not stupid at this time, and he immediately reacted, "It's also aimed at Your Majesty! Otherwise, why should the death of the champion be involved?"

"Needless to say." Han Ruzi also felt that the rumors were too violent, but he didn't want to make a big splash, "There are rebellions inside, Xiongnu outside, the country is in danger, and other things are not worthy of excessive attention. Cui Teng, I will not allow you to privately Investigate the case, let alone seek revenge in private, understand?"

"But……"

"If you dare to fight again, no matter what the reason is, I will keep you in the frontier, and you will not be allowed to return to Beijing for ten years. If you want to fight, you can fight with the Huns."

"Ah... what if someone hits me first?"

"Hold on." Han Ruzi said bluntly, he didn't believe that someone would dare to reach out and hit Cui Teng first.

Cui Teng's face turned even redder, and the East Sea King said, "Cui Teng, why don't you thank Your Majesty?"

"Huh?" Cui Teng's eyes widened.

"You don't know what your temper is? Your Majesty doesn't allow you to investigate the case, because he is afraid of your bad things. If you change someone else, Your Majesty will not care, and let you investigate, make trouble, and cause trouble. In the end, the Deng family can't get any better, Cui The family is also implicated. Can the officials of the Ministry of Punishment investigate such a big matter? You just wait honestly."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Cui Teng reluctantly said, still not angry, but he was really afraid of the emperor and did not dare to argue.

Liu Jie brought news that the northern army forward had arrived outside the city and was camping in line, waiting for His Majesty's inspection.

This is something that Han Ruzi has decided long ago. He is very happy to be able to go out of the city to get along with real soldiers. Jincheng is like a shrinking capital, which makes him feel suffocated. If there are not too many objections, he even wants to move to the barracks. inside.

The 3,000 soldiers in the front line of the Northern Army, who did not remove their armor and their horses, lined up to welcome the emperor. They had just received a great reward in the capital and were summoned by the emperor. This is an even greater honor, so it was time to shout "Long live" Loud outside.

The depression in Han Ruzi's heart was swept away.

Cui Teng's depression did not diminish at all. Taking advantage of the emperor's discussion with the generals of the Northern Army, he quietly returned to the city.

But he didn't know who to vent his anger to. Deng Cui and the others were strictly guarded. He didn't see anyone at all. He rode around on horseback and saw people chatting together on the street. He felt that he was talking about the Cui family. .

It was getting dark, Cui Teng returned to the palace, but he couldn't find anyone to express his anger. He planned to scold his sister: If you don't stay in the capital, why did you come all the way to Jincheng? Caused so much gossip.

There were more guards at the door, all of whom recognized Cui Teng and did not stop him.

The female family members of the palace had already left, and Mrs. Ping'en Hou was guarding in the living room. As soon as she saw Cui Teng, she greeted him, "Good brother, you are here, I am looking for you."

"Why are you looking for me? Where's my sister? I want to talk to her."

Seeing that Cui Teng's face was not good, Mrs. Ping'en Hou stopped in front, "The third sister is sleeping, how do you think she has experienced such a thing? The soul is scared away, I let her rest early."

Cui Teng's spirit suddenly disappeared, and he found a chair and sat down, "Someone is targeting the Cui family, the emperor doesn't believe it, but I can feel that the Cui family has not collapsed, and many people must be disappointed."

"What did your majesty say?" Mrs. Pinnhou was most concerned about this matter.

"It's nothing, Your Majesty asked the officials of the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case, and I am not allowed to interfere."

"What about the third sister? Did your majesty say anything?"

"What can His Majesty say? Neither of them have met."

Mrs. Pinnhou frowned slightly, "I can guess who is behind it."

"Who is it?" Cui Teng stood up without asking how she guessed it.

"Zhang Zhuhe, the piano master, and his so-called daughter."

Cui Teng was taken aback, "What's the matter with their father and daughter?"

"Hey, I heard that Qin Nu is good at seduction, it seems that my good brother is also tempted."

"Don't talk nonsense, she is the piano master personally ordered by His Majesty, who would dare to..."

"That's right, who dares? The third sister just wanted to see His Majesty, and she was jealous and covered with so many rumors."

Cui Teng still didn't believe it, "Zhang Qinyan is dumb, and Zhang Zhuohe is an old man who doesn't like to talk. How can he manipulate such a big rumor?"

"Maybe they got help."

"Marquis of Luoyang?"

"It's possible, everyone understands that whoever wins His Majesty's favor will be able to remain invincible in the future. Luoyang Hou Jin's presentation of the piano girl must have deep meaning."

Cui Teng shook his head, "It's useless, His Majesty only likes little sister Xiaojun."

"Haha, my good brother, thank you for being a master in the Fengyue Field. Your Majesty likes Little Jun, but can you always favor her alone?"

Cui Teng thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Marquis of Luoyang..." He still didn't want to point his anger at Zhang Qinyan.

Mrs. Ping'en Hou didn't care either. When they were still in the capital, she and Lao Jun decided not to tell Cui Teng the truth, but they had to use it when they should. "The Cui family cannot be defeated."

"Of course, you can't lose."

"You can stay by His Majesty's side, which is an advantage. We must find ways to prevent the piano girl from meeting His Majesty alone."

"It's not difficult, Your Majesty doesn't want to..."

"Don't take it for granted, the emperor also has a moment of improvisation. Don't let the piano girl take advantage of it. I got the news that Liu Jie was bought by the piano master. You have to beware of him doing bad things."

"The Marquis of Luoyang is so ambitious? I should tell His Majesty."

"No, we don't have any evidence yet, just make sure that His Majesty is not charmed by the piano girl."

"Okay, I'll listen to the eldest sister, and I'll deal with the Marquis of Luoyang later." With a clear enemy, Cui Teng felt much better.

"Good brother, your father is your only son, fight for him and treat Master Qin and his daughter as enemies."

"Enemy." Cui Teng said firmly, thinking of Zhang Qinyan's soul-moving eyes, he became less determined.
