Journey through the Worlds from the Wilderness

Chapter 91

Zhang Ying's words have been brought, but the influence has not dissipated.

In the cramped room, Lu Jianxing had been pondering for a long time, his fists were clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again and again, and the expression on his face was constantly changing, it was hard to calm down for a long time.

"Brother, Mr. Shoufu invites you to a banquet, shouldn't we make some preparations?"

With a hint of luck, Shen Lian finally broke the silence in the room.

"That's right! Brother, get ready."

Although Jin Yichuan was sincere, he was not an idiot after all. Naturally, he could see that Lu Jianxing was not the same as usual, so he quickly agreed.

The eyes of the two fell on Lu Jianxing's body together, making Lu Jianxing slowly come back to his senses.

The clenched palms relaxed again, and after taking a long breath, Lu Jianxing slowly raised his head and looked at Shen Lian.

"Whether you go to the banquet or not is not important now, Shen Lian! Tell me everything you have done!"

Lu Jianxing stood up abruptly, staring at Shen Lian with frowning eyes, his words were deep and unfathomable, making it impossible to hear his emotions.

"Brother, what did the second brother do?"

Jin Yichuan looked at them doubtfully.

"Shen Lian, tell me!"

Lu Jianxing snorted coldly.

Shen Lian lowered her head when she heard the words, as if her body had lost support suddenly, she gritted her teeth and took a few steps back, and sat heavily on the chair placed by the wall.

After a long silence, Shen Lian raised his head dejectedly.

"Brother, Shen Lian has never done anything to offend you and Yichuan, and this is the same."

"Did I ask you this?!"

Lu Jianxing glared at the words, and said in a cold voice: "If you hadn't done something to apologize to me and Yichuan, now you are in the yamen, maybe you are already in the imperial prison! Buy me an official for 300 taels, thanks to you I can figure it out too!"

"300 taels!"

Jin Yichuan was startled, and looked at Shen Lian. He had already spent 100 taels to end Ding Xiu's entanglement, but now he paid 300 taels again!
"Second brother, what did you do? Where did the money come from? Tell me quickly!"

Jin Yichuan, who did not know much about everything, could not remain ignorant at this moment, and anxiously urged Shen Lian to speak.

"Wei Zhongxian, he's not dead!"

Shen Lian was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Wei Zhongxian also gave the money, 400 taels of gold, just begging me to spare his life."

"Just for the money?"

Lu Jianxing looked at Shen Lian with a slightly calmer expression than before, but Shen Lian lowered his head and narrated what he had done, while Jin Yichuan looked at Shen Lian in amazement, so that no one paid attention to it.

"With money, you can redeem Miaotong's body, treat Yichuan's illness, and make your elder brother fulfill his wish and become a hundred householder."

Shen Lian murmured silently, "Wei Zhongxian said that what the emperor wants is not his death, but his treasure to support the Liaodong war and put an end to slavery.

Therefore, as long as we can bring back his treasure, we can settle the matter and no one will investigate further.

And once we kill him, the eunuchs will definitely get revenge, and then all three of us will die!Letting Wei Zhongxian go is for survival! "

Shen Lian raised his head, looked at Lu Jianxing, and suddenly jumped forward, kneeling on the ground.

"Brother, this matter is entirely Shen Lian's fault. If there is a mistake, Shen Lian will bear it all! Brother and Yichuan will not be implicated!"

He opened his mouth loudly, but at this point he became sad again, and said slowly: "Shen Lian just asks that elder brother can do Shen Lian a favor, go to Nuanxiang Pavilion to redeem Miaotong's body."

After the voice fell, the cramped room fell silent for an instant.

"Brother, you can't blame the second brother for this matter, besides, isn't it all right now?"

The eager anticipation in Shen Lian's eyes moved Jin Yichuan who hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter first, and came to Lu Jianxing to persuade him.

"Third brother, all the things that elder brother taught you are in vain, and you are still so naive until now."

Lu Jianxing looked at Jin Yichuan helplessly, sighed and said, "Don't worry, I don't blame him, he spent 300 taels of silver to buy an official for me, only Shen Lian can do it."

"Big brother!"

Shen Lian was startled when he heard the words, the eagerness and anticipation on his face froze for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he asked quickly: "Brother, can you really forgive me?"

"What's the use of blaming you?"

Lu Jianxing shook his head and sighed, stepped forward and pulled Shen Lian up, "Get up and talk."

"I'm sorry, brother, it's my fault for hiding this matter..."

Shen Lian said with self-blame.

"You are indeed wrong, and it's outrageously wrong! Who is Wei Zhongxian, he dared not say anything in order to survive, but he met you, a fool, and let him be deceived."

Lu Jianxing raised his hand to stop Shen Lian's words, scolded him, and suddenly sighed: "At least you shouldn't have kept this from me and Yichuan, alas! But it's not your fault, the three of us are out of touch. into other people's calculations."

"Calculation? Big brother is talking about Zhang Ying?"

Shen Lian was slightly taken aback.

"It's not him. What Gao Feng once said is not wrong, Zhang Ying can only be regarded as a villain."

Lu Jianxing shook his head, glanced at the two brothers, and said in a low and dignified tone: "It is Zhao Jingzhong who really plotted against us."

"Eunuch Zhao?!"

Jin Yichuan said in surprise.

"it's him."

Lu Jianxing said slowly: "Do you still remember the day Zhao Jingzhong personally said that the emperor wanted Wei Zhongxian to die when he received the secret order? But when we brought back the charred corpse, the Chief Assistant Han Kuang said that the emperor wanted to see Wei Zhongxian alive."

"Maybe……"

Shen Lian thought for a moment, and was about to speak.

"There's no chance. Don't you think what happened in Yan's Mansion today is strange?"

These words were like a thunderous sound, and Shen Lian's mind suddenly buzzed, only to hear Lu Jianxing continue to speak.

"There are not many people in the entire Ming Dynasty who have the ability to set up a strict government. There is only one person who will use this kind of ruthless means to deal with our brothers, and that is Zhao Jingzhong!"

"Brother, what shall we do then?"

Jin Yichuan finally realized the crisis of the situation and asked quickly.

Shen Lian also looked at Lu Jianxing, with a look of searching in his eyes.

Lu Jianxing looked at the two brothers, with a rare smile on his stern but always sad face.

"I've already made up my mind to leave the capital and stay away from this place of right and wrong."

"However, we haven't reached the point where we have to escape, and brother, your Baihu..."

Shen Lian didn't continue, but he always knew that Lu Jianxing was deeply obsessed with the position of a hundred households.

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Lu Jianxing shook his head and said with a smile: "Living is the most important thing. I don't want to lose you two brothers one day just for the sake of the position of Baihu."

Lu Jianxing stretched out his arms, put them on the shoulders of Shen Lian and Jin Yichuan, and said with a cheerful smile: "Leave the capital, let's live a good life!"

"Ok!"

Jin Yichuan's eyes lit up, and Shen Lian also nodded. He had already served as Jin Yiwei, and now he just wanted to redeem Zhou Miaotong's body, and then live a peaceful and stable life.

"Shoufu's banquet, shall we still go?"

Jin Yichuan suddenly remembered something and asked.
