I rely on the collapse of people to set my life in the hands of the male protagonist

The Cheng family is also Yuan Ran's natal family, and they should be his biggest support force. Even if they support the new prince now, they shouldn't treat Yuan Ran like this.

Compared to Cao Lao's excitement, Chu Lishu didn't seem to be angry when he discovered this kind of thing, as if everything was within his expectation.

"Because they don't want me to appear again. After all, as long as I ascend the throne, the power of my relatives will be greatly weakened. It's normal for them not to want to."

Chu Lishu's original concept of employing people was to do it for those who can, and to be impartial and selfless in the face of everything, which is very unfavorable to the Cheng family who has a faint tendency of foreign relatives interfering in politics.

Now Yuan Ran has died in name, but no one has seen his body. Everyone is still worried that the proud man of heaven is still alive somewhere. The excellence of Yuan Ran has left traces in everyone's heart. They Fear, that's why I panic when there is any trouble.

"Isn't the matter of His Highness also related to them?" Cao Lao said immediately: "What did Your Highness go through back then?"

Chu Lishu's eyes darkened, and there seemed to be a sea of ​​blood rolling deep in his eyes. That hellish day still often appeared in his dreams, torturing him, instilling hatred, and urging him to move forward.The eyes of hundreds of thousands of undead stared at him in the dark, asking him why he hadn't avenged them.The souls of millions of innocent people cannot rest in peace because they don't know why this happened to them.

"You don't need to know what happened, I just ask if you can help me, sir." Chu Lishu looked straight at Mr. Cao.

Now that Prince Yuan Ran has returned, it is self-evident what he wants to do. Mr. Cao has always regarded himself as Yuan Ran's subject and should follow him. "The old minister must have dedicated himself to death, but the old minister is still under surveillance, please be careful, Your Highness."

Chu Lishu nodded, of course he knew, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a laborious method to test Mr. Cao.

The emperor refused to let Cao Lao leave, saying that he would help choose a companion to read. In fact, the root cause was that Yuan Ran was not dead. The emperor thought that if Yuan Ran came back, Cao Lao would be among the people most likely to contact him. Keep Mr. Cao in the capital for close monitoring.

"The old minister has something to report, the Taixue library is actually..." After Cao Laobiao was loyal, he immediately anxiously wanted Chu Lishu to find evidence to prove his innocence.

"I have found it, and the evidence is in my hands."

Elder Cao was pleasantly surprised, "His Royal Highness is indeed extremely witty, to have deciphered the password of the secret room so quickly. Even the old ministers did not help."

Mr. Cao's act of revealing on his own initiative made Chu Lishu confirm his loyalty.

"I need your help now." Chu Lishu said directly: "I want to enter the palace as a companion."

Mr. Cao also guessed it, and said bluntly: "I can't be too obvious to attract His Highness's attention, but I will definitely support His Highness in the assessment. It's just the result of this assessment. I'm afraid it's not just a decision of knowledge. Behind the princes The power of..."

"Xu Wenze will help in this regard." Naturally, the layout of Chu Lishu is 100% successful. With the support of Xu Wenze and Cao Lao, there is no problem for him to enter the palace.

Mr. Cao looked at Chu Lishu with relief. Although he was already an unfamiliar face, he was still familiar with the smoothness of working with the prince. It really was the prince Yuan Ran who made him proud.

"By the way, Your Highness, do you still remember the ten owl wolf knights?"

Chu Lishu was taken aback. It had been a long time since he had heard this word. If they were still there, his actions would not be so difficult.

The Ten Knights of the Owl Wolf are dead warriors specially trained by the royal family. After each emperor chooses his heir, he will train ten people for him since childhood. When the master lives, they survive, and when the master dies, they die.

On the battlefield that year, even if they had the ability to outnumber a hundred, they couldn't protect Chu Lishu. When Chu Lishu woke up from the sea of ​​corpses, he couldn't tell which corpse belonged to whom.

Chu Lishu didn't know why Mr. Cao mentioned this suddenly. "Even if they didn't die in battle, they should be martyred." This is their rule.

But Mr. Cao shook his head and said, "No, they came to look for the old minister, so the old minister learned that there are still two people alive."

With Chu Lishu's suspicious character now, his first reaction was, could it be that the owl wolf ten knights are also traitors.

But soon Cao Lao's statement dispelled his suspicion.

"They are the ones who least believe in the news of His Highness's death. Because they trust the old minister, they want to find His Highness's trace together with the old minister. They say that if they don't see the body, they will not be buried. They have been looking for you."

There are only two owl wolf ten riders left, and they are still waiting for their master to return.

This was probably the best news Chu Lishu heard today, as long as he recognized them, it would be like a tiger with wings added to Chu Lishu.

It's just that they come and go without a trace, and it's hard to find them, otherwise the emperor wouldn't have killed them until now, and it might not be easy to find them.

At the same time, Lin Qingyang, who was studying patiently in the Annanhou Mansion, suddenly heard a ding in his mind.

[The first set of tasks, task 4: Help the hero take back the power of the owl wolf. 】

Lin Qingyang was excited, here it is, the task is here, as expected, the hero went out today to do business, which directly triggered a new task.

Lin Qingyang quickly concentrated on thinking about this task. This task is really related to Lin Qingyang's life and death, and must be completed.

But after thinking about it, Lin Qingyang's complexion became unsightly. It seemed that he might have lost the starting point of this mission.

Lin Qingyang gasped for a moment and told himself not to panic.

The Ten Riders of the Owl Wolf should be regarded as the second help in the original text to return to the male lead. The first one is Mr. Cao. Merged successfully.

But in the original text, the remaining two owl wolf ten riders are not so easy to find.

They don't know the current Chu Lishu, so naturally they won't take the initiative to show up, and they have been busy looking for the male lead and taking revenge for the male lead, even Chu Lishu, who already knew their existence, was at a loss for finding them for a while time.

Until the winter solstice sacrifice, Ying Wenlong in the Ministry of Rites was assigned work related to the imperial mausoleum, and needed to find a few students to help write. During the selection, Chu Lishu was selected because he was related to Ying Wenlong. Enter the imperial mausoleum.

It just so happened that the two owl wolves returned without success, feeling depressed, although they didn't believe that the master was dead, but the imperial tomb is equivalent to the tomb of the master's clothes, so they also went to the imperial tomb secretly, and only then did the master and servant recognize each other.

But now, Ying Wenlong has been tossed about by Heli, not to mention that he will definitely not choose Chu Lishu, even in his current state, it is estimated that the Ministry of Rites will not send him to do this errand.

Lin Qingyang wanted to cry but had no tears. It was a bloody misfortune. He swore that the original text only mentioned that Chu Lishu was brought into the imperial tomb because of his relatives. , and then how cleverly discovered that the two owl wolves were nearby and so on, without even mentioning Ying Wenlong's name.It is only now that Lin Qingyang thinks about the cause and effect.

This... is really bloody.

But depression is depression, it is absolutely impossible to regret it, now I can only find a way to let Chu Lishu go to the imperial tomb during the winter solstice.

Since Mr. Cao has a good relationship with Chu Lishu, it's fine for Mr. Cao to speak up.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingyang knew that there were still some days before the winter solstice, and the task this time was finally not urgent.

Just as she was thinking, there was a movement outside the door, it was Nanny Ding who came back with someone.

Seeing Nanny Ding's rosy face and beaming, it seems that everything is going well.

Chu Lishu immediately put down the books to meet them.

Knowing that the six people were sent by the Liu family, this time the Yawen county magistrate would change his clothes and get up to meet and ask questions in person.

Lin Qinglan helped Yawen county magistrate out, and Nanny Ding stepped forward to report the situation of Ying's family.

Although the report was still rigid, Lin Qingyang could already see the ridicule and complacency that Ding Momo couldn't suppress.

When they rushed to Ying's house, they were naturally treated coldly, and they were slow to open the door, but an old man like Ding Momo had never seen anything before, and she yelled at the gate with one mouth, making the neighbors Knowing that they are here to get back the dowry, do you want to embezzle the dowry if you hint at not opening the door?Ying Jia really couldn't afford to lose face, so he quickly opened the door and let people in.

Nanny Ding compared the items on the dowry list one by one. At first, Mrs. Ying made all kinds of sophistry and was full of ugliness. She wished she could leave half of the dowry.As a result, the six people brought by Nanny Ding stood forward and searched for them by themselves.Rude people will inevitably destroy everywhere. In a blink of an eye, Ying's family was tossed and tossed. In the end, Mrs. Ying slumped on a chair and cried, and Nanny Ding stood at the entrance of the hall with a blank face. While counting the dowry, they said that they would depreciate and compensate for the smashed ones, so don't cry.

Shili Hongzhuang was really not joking, it took up the entire courtyard of Ying's family.

Now not only Mrs. Ying, but also Ying Xiaodie's eyes were red when they saw this scene.

She has long forgotten subconsciously that so many good things that can be obtained are actually dowry brought by others. When they were a family, they were given to her to use and show off casually. Now that they are not a family, they have nothing to do with her up.

What's funny is that when Ying Xiaodie's mouth was sour, Nanny Ding directly took off a gold hairpin from Ying Xiaodie's head with sharp eyes, and said coldly: "This belongs to Miss too."

As a result, after a search, she found that most of Ying Xiaodie's gold and silver jewelry was taken from Lin Qinglan's private treasury. Ying Xiaodie was so angry on the spot, saying that Lin Qinglan gave her, how dare she want to go back, just like her mother , I used it for splashing and rolling, and I can't wait to touch porcelain on the spot.

The men of the Ying family make the women quarrel without showing up, but it also depends on who the opponent is.

Seeing this, Nurse Ding directly asked Ying Xiaodie to report to the officials, and asked them to sort out according to the regulations. Naturally, the Ying family couldn't afford to lose this person, so they didn't dare to make trouble.

In the end, even the silver taels, Nanny Ding asked for it back not bad for a copper coin.

Mrs. Ying also clamored that after three years of being raised for nothing, even the food expenses would be deducted. Nanny Ding replied directly, then should I also count the expenses for the soup and medicine for the eldest lady? Mrs. Ying was on the spot Just dizzy.

After they left like this, the Ying family seemed to be emptied, only barren. In the past, Lin Qinglan was in charge of the family affairs, but now after Mrs. Ying takes over again, she can clearly realize that their family relies on two adults who are in charge of the Ministry of Rites. In the life of the rich and powerful in the capital, it was all done by the eldest daughter-in-law.

Once the eldest daughter-in-law left, the Ying family simply couldn't afford to support such a large family and servants, let alone live the extravagant life before.

Mrs. Ying started to cry as she pulled Ying Wenlong after sorting out the accounts, but Ying Wenlong told her mother not to panic, after all, he was going to marry the daughter of Duke Wei's mansion soon, following in Prime Minister Li's footsteps, life would definitely be better than before. Now let's prop up the scene first, lest people make fun of them.

After the whole family got together, in order to maintain their face, they naturally had to do whatever they could, selling their houses and land, and slapping their swollen faces to pretend to be fat.Little did they know that the family's bad luck had just begun.

In the end, more than a dozen cars pulled Shili Hongzhuang away, attracting crowds of onlookers on the road. Some people even said that even if they were infertile, who would dare not be nice to the Lin family's daughter with the ten miles of Hongzhuang?

After Mama Ding finished speaking, she seemed to let out a breath of anger. She obviously relied on Lin Qinglan to live so well, but she didn't know how to cherish it. The whole family lay on Lin Qinglan's body and wanted to get cramped when they didn't have enough blood. Look at them How to live in the empty mansion in the future.

Both Lin Qingyang and Yawen county magistrate were delighted to hear this.Lin Qingyang also understood one thing, Ying Wenlong didn't want to be widowed with Li, it seemed that it wasn't just because of reputation, there must also be a desire to covet this dowry.

Lin Qinglan was in a daze for a while, "I really didn't expect that I would marry such a family." It was ugly and disgusting.

"Just treat it as being bitten by a dog." Lin Qingyang patted Lin Qinglan on the shoulder and said, "Everything will be fine in the future."

Lin Qinglan touched her abdomen secretly, her eyes dimmed.

Immediately, Lord Yawen began to ask the six people about the situation in Jiangnan. The only woman among the six was their head. She looked young, with a pretty face, neat in handling affairs, and good at martial arts. After going to Ying's house together, Nanny Ding was very satisfied with her.

Whatever Lord Yawen asked, she answered them all.

Nanny Ding secretly pulled Lin Qingyang to ask if these people would stay directly.

In fact, Lin Qingyang only borrowed it temporarily. After all, they are all members of the escort agency and are making a living. They don't want to be someone's servants, nor are they selling themselves. If they want to keep people, they must say hello to their big cousin. Then sign a contract with them individually and ask them what they mean.

However, Lin Qingyang felt that there was little hope, not because his eldest cousin was reluctant, but because there was absolutely no need for these six people to stay away from their hometown and stay here.

Seeing Lin Qingyang's meaning, Ding Momo said: "If nothing else, we can try our best to keep that girl. The old slaves of the Hou Mansion always feel unsafe. Young master, you are not often around, and I am getting old. No one is capable, who will take care of the county mistress and the eldest lady in the future..."

Lin Qingyang understood that Nanny Ding had taken a fancy to the girl's ability.

Now that Nanny Ding had spoken, Lin Qingyang found an opportunity to express his intentions to the six people after his mother had finished asking. Although these six people were not servants, they had never seen a young master so polite. Frightened, but also had to reject Lin Qingyang's kindness, basically they were people who didn't want to leave their hometown.

But the girl doesn't care, she promises to contact the boss before making a decision, the boss is the eldest cousin.

After dealing with this matter, Lin Qingyang gradually became uneasy watching the sunset. Until now, the hero has not come back. Didn't he agree to go only for a few hours?Even if it is really meeting with Mr. Cao, it won't take so long, it's been a day.I don't know if it was delayed by other things.

With only three points left, Lin Qingyang didn't dare to spend points to find someone, maybe in Cao's hometown, but he didn't dare to rush to find someone, this would definitely arouse the suspicion of the hero.The safest thing to do is wait for someone to come back.If he didn't come back at night, one-third of his life would be gone.

While waiting anxiously, the sky is getting dark, and the flower hall here has already called people to eat.

Chu Lishu, who was about to return to the mansion not long ago, had just left the gate of the Cao mansion when he ran into Yuechen and Huo Luo who came to visit Mr. Cao.

At this point in time, the investigation of the drug addiction hadn't been completed yet, but they came here when they were free, which made Chu Lishu suspicious.

He thought he was just passing by like this, but when Yue Chen saw Chu Lishu, he immediately gave up on visiting Mr. Cao and insisted on taking Chu Lishu to invite him to dinner.

So the three of them appeared in the private room of a famous restaurant in the capital.
