Chapter 73 Is He That Bad?

"Okay, mother? Let my little sister go with us."

Yun Wanyao walked around to Madam Yun and shook her arm gently in a coquettish manner. Madam Yun nodded in agreement and sighed helplessly.

"Okay, okay, but it can't be just you and Ye'er."

"Go ask your father for two more people when the time comes. Make sure you keep an eye on Xiao Si. Make sure nothing goes wrong."

Hearing this, the two sisters were immediately delighted.

[That’s great, that’s great, mom agreed, I can go out now, I can go watch the fun, hehehehehe~]

"Yes, I will definitely take good care of my little sister, please rest assured."

study.

Yun Zheng was dealing with some matters in the Cang Yunling military camp when suddenly, his followers appeared outside the open door.

"My lord, the second young master wants to see you."

"Let him in."

"yes."

Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard, and a young man in a black and gold brocade robe walked in leisurely.

"Hey, Dad, what are you busy with?"

Yun Wanye stretched his neck and looked towards the desk.

Yun Zheng took a pen and wrote something on the document, without even looking up, he said, "If you have something to say, just say it. If not, get out of here."

Yun Wanye: “…”

"Dad, I am your son after all, can't you be gentle with me?"

"Oh!"

Yun Zheng sneered and said mercilessly, "I have always been strict with you, and you have grown up like this. If I were gentler with you, I don't know what kind of weird thing you would become."

"I risked my life to build this family business, and I don't want it all to be lost in your hands."

Yun Wanye: “…”

Is he that bad? He doesn't seem that bad, does he?

Why is he like this in Dad's mind? "Did Dad forget that I worked so hard to do things for you two days ago? That's not what you said to me when I was doing things for you."

"At that time, you were full of praise for my extraordinary abilities and how I was better than my teacher. How come just two days later, you called me a prodigal and a crooked child?"

Yun Zheng put the pen on the pen holder, picked up the document and blew on it slowly a few times, then asked casually, "Can you do the same thing as you do now?"

"How can I get you to work hard if I don't praise you a few times?"

"But you don't know what you are like, right?"

Yun Wanye: “…”

So he deserves to be praised and hear good words only when he is useful, right?

"Alright, alright, Dad, I don't want to argue with you about this anymore. I came here to ask you, what is the situation in the court today? Has the expected effect been achieved?"

These days, he was busy collecting tokens from the Su Mansion guards, forging evidence, plotting against several major families, and stirring up conflicts between them.

After working for so long, I finally closed the net today. I hope all the hard work was not in vain.

"Not bad, you did a great job on this."

Yun Zheng closed the document and finally said something sensible.

After hearing this, Yun Wanye could roughly guess that the effect might be better than he imagined.

He instantly raised his lips in a good mood.

That damn old man Su Jian was really tired of living. He dared to attack the princess and even threw dirty water on his Yun family.

In that case, don't blame him for retaliating.

Of course, this is just the beginning. There will be many exciting things waiting for that old man in the future.

"That's good, Dad. I'm afraid this old man will take revenge on us after he recovers. So, we might as well kill him while he's still sick."

Yun Wanye lowered his voice, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.

“No.”

Yun Zheng waved his hand to stop him, "Now in the court, the Prime Minister's party and the Grand Marshal's party are fighting against each other, and the situation is very balanced."

"If something unexpected happens to Su Jian, the emperor's checks and balances will be broken. At that time, your father and I might be affected."

"Since ancient times, the relationship between the emperor and his subjects is like a spring. When the emperor is strong, the subjects are weak; when the subjects are strong, the emperor is weak. Whether the emperor is supreme or the powerful subjects are supreme, it is not a good thing for officials."

"This state now is when your father and I are most comfortable."

If the imperial power is too strong, the emperor will not take his subjects seriously and will kill them at will; but if the power of the subjects is too strong, they will inevitably want to disrupt the government, treat the emperor as a puppet, and replace him.

Therefore, the current tripartite situation is the most stable and comfortable.

The late emperor had been very kind to him, and Yun Zheng didn't want to be a powerful official, so naturally he didn't want anything to happen to Su Jian. He just wanted to create some trouble for that guy at the right time.

Yun Wanye: “…”

Dad is such a loser. He is the Duke of Ningguo, but he doesn't ask to be second to none and above everyone else. Instead, he just wants to be comfortable and stable.

Alas! Yun Wanye sighed helplessly after not getting approval, and gave up the idea of ​​killing Su Jian.

The next day at noon.

After the court session, all officials left the court together.

After saying goodbye to their colleagues, the two brothers Yun Zheng and Yun Zhan rode home with their entourage.

On the bluestone ground outside the vermilion gate, there was a lonely carriage with carved rosewood parked. After the two brothers got off the horses, their eyes fell on the carriage.

The next moment, the curtain was lifted, and a smoky gray figure came out of the carriage. The attendant immediately opened an umbrella and held it over his head.

"Duke Ningguo, can we talk alone?"

"No time, the Duke of this country has to go back home to accompany his wife."

Yun Zheng narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, handed the reins of the red horse to his follower, held his head high and prepared to leave.

Swish! Several strong guards immediately stepped forward and blocked his way.

Yun Zheng stopped and looked coldly at the man not far away who had a gentle appearance but was strong in every way.

"What does the commander-in-chief want to do?"

"What do you want to do? The emperor ordered me to investigate the assassination of my colleagues. This matter was proposed by Duke Ningguo. Duke Ningguo must know about it, right?"

"I am only following orders. I hope Duke Ning will cooperate."

Su Jian sneered, his narrowed eyes filled with deep anger.

Yun Zhan's expression also turned a little colder, and he said, "Sir Taiwei, if you don't remember the emperor's original words, I can remind you."

"The Emperor asked you to find evidence to prove your innocence, not to stop the officials from investigating. Don't go too far."

"Yes, what I am doing is also to find evidence. What's wrong with that? I suspect that the evidence is on Duke Ningguo."

Su Jian stared at Yun Zheng intently, with no trace of Yun Zhan in his eyes at all.

"You won't listen to my kind words of warning. In that case, let me see for myself how powerful this mob is."

"Someone come."

At Yun Zheng's command, more than a dozen guards quickly rushed out of the Duke's Mansion and formed a standoff with Su Jian's men.

Seeing this, Su Jian's expression changed slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

"Duke Ning, what do you mean? I just want to ask you something, do you still want to take action?"

"Humph, this question should be asked by the Duke of this country, Su Jian. It was you who first had someone block the Duke of this country's way. What exactly do you want to do?"

"Don't say you have something to ask the Duke of this country. How can you ask questions like that? Besides, if you want to ask the Duke of this country, does that mean he must listen? What if the Duke of this country doesn't listen?"

"Don't accuse our public security officers of disobeying the emperor's order. The emperor has not ordered our public security officers to cooperate with you."

“…”

Su Jian was speechless after being rebuked for a moment. He said with a dark face, "Yun Zheng, don't think that I don't know. What happened in the court yesterday was all done by you. You are framing me."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After hearing this, Yun Zheng smiled coldly, his expression remained unchanged, and he was not panicked at all.

"Sir, you must be responsible for what you say. Do you have evidence to say that? If you have evidence, please give it directly to the emperor instead of complaining to the prince."

"If you say that without any evidence, then, is the Grand Marshal born in the Year of the Dog? How come he can bite anyone he catches?"

"Yun Zheng!!!"

Su Jian was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot. This guy was reading books of sages, but how could he speak so vulgarly? It was simply a disgrace to society.

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so loud. My Lord is strong and has good hearing. He can hear me."

Yun Zheng nonchalantly reached out and scratched his ear, looking as if he was extremely angry.

Seeing this, Yun Zhan's lips curled up slightly, and a smile flashed across his dark eyes.

He shouldn't underestimate his elder brother's fighting ability. Whether it's his boxing skills or his eloquence, his elder brother has few rivals.

How could General Su, who prides himself on being noble, be a match for the eldest brother in an argument?

"If you have nothing to say, my Lord, then I will not accompany you."

After he finished speaking, Yun Zheng held his head high, put his hands behind his back, and strode towards the door. Yun Zhan immediately followed behind him.

Seeing him approaching, two guards of the Su family were so ignorant that they dared to block their way with knives. Yun Zheng did not tolerate them at all and raised his leg and kicked them hard.

BANG!!! The guard was kicked several meters away and fell heavily to the ground. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.

The other guard was so scared that his legs were shaking and his whole body was limp, but looking at his unconscious companion, no one knew what he was thinking, he actually slashed at Yun Zheng with a knife.

Yun Zheng stepped back slightly, and Yun Zhan raised his leg and kicked him. The next moment, the guard was also kicked away and fell heavily on the bluestone ground.

His knife fell from mid-air and the crowd dispersed instantly.

"snort!"

Yun Zheng sneered, without even looking at the two unconscious guards, he raised his legs and continued to walk forward. This time, no one dared to stop him.

"Dad, did Su Jian bring people to stop you?"

As soon as he entered the gate, Yun Wanye jumped down from the wall and hurried over.

Yun Zheng squinted his eyes at him, "Haven't you been watching the excitement from the top of the wall for a while? Why are you asking? Don't you understand?"

Yun Wanye: “…”

"Dad, first of all, I'd like to make it clear that I'm not just here to watch the fun. I'm investigating the situation. If that guy wants to harm you, this wall is a good place. I can jump down and support you immediately."

"Also, I'm asking this specifically because I'm concerned about Dad."

"Dad, if you ask me, since that guy came to you on his own initiative, you shouldn't let him go so easily. Why don't you just pin him to the ground and beat him up? He won't dare to mess with you again."

"In terms of skills, even ten of them are no match for Dad. Besides, as long as Dad makes a move, I will definitely jump down to help Dad immediately."

"Alright, alright," Yun Zheng waved his hand to interrupt him, saying helplessly, "The imperial court is not a martial arts world. It's not a place where you can fight and kill at any time."

"Su Jian is the Grand Commandant after all. It would be fine if he was beaten secretly, but beating him so blatantly is not just a simple beating. It is equivalent to slapping the emperor and the court in the face. Do you want your father to be impeached by all the officials?"

"How arrogant is your father to be able to beat even the current Grand Marshal at will?"

"You should control your temper in the future, think more about the consequences, and don't go for violence at every turn."

"Being good at fighting doesn't mean you have a strong life, and winning a fight doesn't mean you have the upper hand. Remember that? Think about the consequences of everything."

Yun Zheng was particularly troubled. This brat's personality was exactly the same as when he was young. He would fight anyone he saw who refused to obey him.

Fortunately, in order to pursue his wife, he entered the military camp early and was under discipline, otherwise, he would have caused a lot of trouble.

Yun Wanye: “…”

*Outside the gate of Ningguo Mansion, Su Jian looked at the two guards who had fainted, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Yun Zheng!!! This damned man is so arrogant and presumptuous. He is simply hateful.

"Let's go back."

He took a deep look at the gold-plated plaque not far away, gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the carriage, and the rest of the guards took the two unconscious guards with them.

Soon, the group left.

Peace returned to the outside of the palace.

Wanan Garden.

Mo Yuanhao sent some jewelry and clothes to Yun Wanyao. Yun Wanyao took them all to Madam Yun and asked her to make the decision.

"Mother, the King of Qi said that the Winter Banquet is coming soon, so he specially prepared these for me. Should I accept them?"

Looking at the brocade dresses and pearl and jade head ornaments on the table, Mrs. Yun felt a headache.

The heroine in Xiao Si's heart made the marriage between King Qi and Yao'er extremely complicated.

Now, she is really afraid of both wolves in front and tigers behind.

"The King of Qi has sent it here, so you must accept it. If you don't accept it and send it back, isn't that slapping him in the face?"

"But Yao'er, you should make a separate account book and record all the things that King Qi sent. Also, put them all away and try not to use them. Got it?"

Mrs. Yun thought about it and made this decision.

In case something unexpected happens in the marriage between King Qi and Yao'er in the future, it would be a good idea for Yao'er to return the money in full, and the things that were previously given to her for use can only be cashed in.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yun was suddenly shocked.

"Oh, Yao'er, you must take good care of the rare treasures that the King of Qi sent you, especially the things that cannot be measured with money."

Yun Wan Ning felt uneasy after hearing these words.

[Hey, why does what you said sound weird to me? ]

[It seems like my mother has other plans for my sister's marriage to the male lead. ]

[Also, my sister is also very strange. She always accepted the gifts given by the King of Qi directly in the past. Why is she asking mother whether to accept it now? ]

[Also, I don’t think I’ve heard my sister mention the male lead much during this period, which is totally inconsistent with her character setting. ]
