Chapter 18 Laughing insidiously
Ling Tong is undoubtedly a good time. His arrival is the end.
After that, things will be easy to do. Under the sight of Lin Dao's description and the nearby people, Ding Hui was charged. As for what the crime was, Lin Dao was not interested in knowing. After killing Ding Hui, Lin Dao was like a person who had nothing to do. How to get out and go back, and the rest of the trivial matters were handed over to Ling Zhong. Let's clean it up with Ling Tong.
At night, just as the Nanming City caused riots among some nobles because of Ding Hui's death, Lin Dao quietly came to the mansion of Prime Minister Bu Qian, and Bu Qian's housekeeper personally welcomed Lin Dao into the house. The Prime Minister's mansion is much older than Lin Dao imagined. Compared with the bright lights elsewhere, the Prime Minister's mansion looks a little lonely. Perhaps because there were no other children, there were not many servants in the big house. Lin Dao found that only a few elderly families were at the post. There were no lights or voices in other places. Obviously, no one lived there.
Lin Dao casually asked the housekeeper a few words. Although the housekeeper did not know Lin Dao's true identity, it was rumored that Lin Dao had a close relationship with the step trainer, and now the prime minister was seriously ill and refused to see anyone. However, as soon as he heard Lin Dao's visit, he urgently ordered himself to welcome Lin Dao to the study, which showed that Lin Dao was extraordinary.
The housekeeper did not dare to neglect and answered Lin Dao's questions one by one.
"Mr. Bu, why does the Prime Minister's Mansion seem to be a little quiet?"
"Mr. Lin, our master is happy. Since the young lady... Oh, no, since the queen entered the palace, there have been much fewer servants in the family than before. Even the guards have gradually decreased. The master is an honest official and has submitted a self-reduction of salary three times. Although the queen did not approve it, the master ordered that every time the young man went to receive the salary, he consciously lost 30%. If it is extra, donate it to the treasury.
Lin Dao nodded, and his evaluation of Bu Qian couldn't help but improve a lot.
After that, Lin Dao asked some miscellaneous things, which were also irrelevant, mainly because Lin Dao wanted to know about Bu Qian's daily life.
Soon, the housekeeper took Lin Dao to the study: "Mr. Lin, please wait a moment."
Originally, Lin Dao thought that the housekeeper would take him to Buqian's ward, but he didn't expect it to be a study. After the housekeeper left, Lin Dao began to take a good view of his collection of books and his usual writing. There are a lot of books in Buqi's study, and there are many words that Lin Dao can't even understand. When he was bored, Lin Dao found a noise outside the door. The trainer helped his face to show his sickly, but he still looked majestic and walked in.
"I will pay a visit to the king."
"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law."
Lin Dao and Bu Qian saluted each other almost at the same time.
......
After a short pause, Lin Dao and Bu Qian both laughed. However, after all, Lin Dao was young. He was busy starting and sat down on the chair with the trainer.
"Your Majesty, you are killing Weichen." Bu Qian still looks very weak, but judging from his ability to get out of bed and walk, it seems that the step trainer gave Bu Qian a tonic pill. Although the tonic pills can play a certain role, they can't get rid of all the toxins in Buqi's body.
"Father-in-law, this is in your house, and I'm seeing you as Lin Dao now. Just call me by my name." Lin Dao looked at Bu Qian with a smile, and then took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to the trainer beside him. "Master, wait a minute. After I leave, you pour some warm water and give the elixir in the bottle to your father-in-law. This is an antidote elixir, which can expel toxins from your father-in-law's body, but the process of detoxification is a little indecent, so..."
After all, the step trainer knows more about Lin Dao. From his words and expressions, she guessed that this so-called indecent is to drive poison in the toilet. The step trainer smiled indifferently and took over the porcelain bottle. She didn't need to thank Lin Dao, because it seemed raw.
When Bu Qian saw the relationship between Lin Dao and the trainer, he couldn't help but feel relieved, and there was also a red light on his sick face.
"Why hasn't Ling Tong arrived yet?" Lin Dao found that Ling Tong did not appear, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
"Didn't you do a big thing during the day? Now Ling Tong is dealing with it, but he should come soon." In fact, when she heard the news that Lin Dao fought against Ding Hui alone, the trainer was still somewhat worried. Although she knew that Lin Dao rarely did uncertain things, after all, Ding Hui was a master at the deputy general level, and Lin Dao had just stabilized his long realm. The strength between the two can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth. .
"Your Majesty, please don't do such a dangerous thing in the future. You need to know that you are the king of a country, not a martial artist. It's better to leave such things to others!" Once it comes to business, Bu Qian always has this expression, which makes Lin Dao a little helpless. On the one hand, it is the loyal old prime minister; on the other hand, it is also the father-in-law Taishan, no matter which identity it is, Lin Dao's headache.
"This, you must pay attention to it in the future, hey hey, you must pay attention to it." Lin Dao couldn't lose his temper in front of Bu Qian. The step trainer who was used to Lin Dao's strength on the side squeezed his mouth and smiled, and his eyes with a crescent smile were charming.
"It's the same with the Empress. After being a country, how can she let the king do it?" Well, Bu Qian even taught the synchronous trainer a lesson. Naturally, the step trainer did not dare to say anything more. He nodded like Lin Dao and looked humble.
"Yo, I didn't expect it to be so lively here." Before Ling Tong arrived, the voice had arrived. Under the gaze of the three people, Ling Tong entered the study with a smile on his face.
"Why did you come here until now? Are you in trouble?" Lin Dao looked at Ling Tong.
"It's okay, but it's all solved." Although he said so, there was still a trace of worry between Ling Tong's eyebrows.
"Are you worried that Ding Feng will send troops to avenge Ding Hui?" Lin Dao smiled.
"He won't send troops." The step trainer seemed to have already seen through this problem. She told Ling Tong for Lin Dao, "Although Ding Hui is Ding Feng's nephew, Ding Feng has always loved Ding Hui. However, since the day Ding Hui became the aristocrat of our Southern Underworld, Ding Hui has drawn a line with the Eastern Wu Empire on the surface. Even if Ding Feng loves Ding Hui no matter how much he is, he is unknown, at most, just revenge in private.
Lin Dao nodded and then said, "Ding Feng, it's just the realm of the general, and he has been stranded in this realm for many years, and there is no progress. It's okay if he doesn't come. If he comes, he will cut off his arm and bury him with Ding Hui!"
Seeing Lin Dao's confident expression, Ling Tong was a little relieved. At the same time, he told Lin Dao and the others about the process of dealing with Ding Hui.
After Lin Dao killed Ding Hui, Ling Tong led troops to detain all of Ding Hui's martial artists in the name of maintaining public order. Then Ling Tong also netted many charges and firmly detained the dead Ding Hui's head. Although Ding Hui has Ding Feng's back and Ling Rui behind him, Ding Feng, as the general of the State of Wu, naturally can't get involved at this time. As for Ling Rui, although he has no action on his face, Ling Tong knows that he must have been brewing a conspiracy secretly.
"Ling Tong did a good job on this matter, but I'm afraid there will be some disputes on the side of the Presbyterian Council, and I'm afraid they will deal with you." After hearing this, the trainer looked at Lin Dao, and then asked Bu Qian, "Father, do you have any countermeasures?"
After listening to the three people's words, Bu Qian kept silent and said for a long time, "This is not difficult. I think the king has already thought of a countermeasure when he killed Ding Hui, and he is bound to win."
Bu Qian's words made everyone turn their eyes to Lin Dao. Lin Dao touched his nose and smiled, "The Prime Minister's eyes are as bright as a torch, but I'm afraid this victory is a little uncertain. After all, everyone knows that what we have to face is not only Ling Rui, but the whole Nanming City, no, the aristocrats of the whole Nanming Kingdom, including the royal family.
Lin Dao's words surprised everyone again, even the step trainer. The step was even more surprised. He widened his eyes and looked at Lin and said, "What does the king mean by this?"
I have known for a long time that Bu Qian would have this expression. Bu Qian is the prime minister. Although he is standing in the camp of Lin Dao, he is a real old nobleman, and the Bu family also occupies a place in Nanming City. If Lin Dao pointed the finger at all the nobles, it means that Bu Qian himself was also in Lin Dao's calculation. Of course, Ling Tong is naturally among them. Although Ling Tong has not had much contact with Ling Cao's original children over the years, Ling Tong is still a member of the royal family after all.
The smile on Lin Dao's face has dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and solemnity. Lin Dao knew that the three people in front of him were his greatest support in the Southern Ming Dynasty. It could be said that they were Lin Dao's close relatives and absolutely trustworthy people, so Lin Dao must appease them.
"Your Excellency, where do you think is the biggest hidden danger of my Southern Underworld?" Lin Dao first asked Bu Qian, because he was the most difficult of the three.
"The people are alienated, and the nobles are rampant." Bu Qian had to admit that Lin Dao had grasped the root of the problem, but he didn't expect Lin Dao to be so bold.
Yes. The reason why the people are centrifug is that the nobles have completely abandoned their original justice and elegance. Noble, what is noble? Prime Minister, let's not talk about others first. As far as your people are concerned, are the Bu clan loyal and single-minded towards the Southern Pluto clan? Do you want to seek peace all over the world with all your heart and peace of the country and the peace of the people?"
Lin Dao's words made Bu Qian silent. If he only talks about his own family, he can definitely be straightforward and say that he is a frank and loyalist; however, his people, those Bu nobles who are rampant in the countryside in his name, do not have this confidence.
People's hearts are ugly, especially in such a dirty society as Nanming.
"Ling Tong, how about you? How about my two cousins? Looking at Ling Tong, Lin Dao smiled.
