Chapter 258 How can you be so impatient?
He shouted and his children followed him obediently.
Madam He sighed and said to Lin Shiqi:
"Good boy, I appreciate your kindness, but this is impossible! In a few days, Zhou's parents should arrive in the capital, and we can talk about it then!"
After saying that, he waved to the two of them and followed them away.
Zhou Lang narrowed his eyes, watched them walk away, and said softly:
"How about we just get rid of this He Zhang?"
Lin Shiqi was somewhat stunned, smiled, and shook his head:
"Never mind, not yet."
The two of them went back and didn't mention it.
Over there, after Prince He and his family returned home, they hurried to find a doctor to treat He Zhang's injuries.
It's not too bad, just a small piece of arm bone is broken. I should be able to recover after resting for a period of time.
But the pain in my body and the anger in my heart cannot be eliminated.
He Zhang kept shouting that he wanted revenge.
Prince He frowned and said:
"Zhang'er, you are the future helmsman of our He family, how can you be so impatient?"
He Zhang complained:
"Dad, I wanted to keep calm, but they were too bullying! That wild woman actually dared to break my arm. If I don't keep calm, how will others see me? There were other people on the road at the time. Who knows, they might spread the news. I am the heir of the He family, but I didn't fight back when I was beaten. How can I have a good reputation in the future?"
Normally, a wild boy who grew up in the countryside would not pose a threat to his position. That's what he thought before, but after what happened today, he felt a sense of crisis.
Cui Hanlin, a key figure of the second generation of the Cui family, spoke to the wild boy in person. This was a treatment not afforded to ordinary people, at least he had never received it.
Moreover, it seems that Lin Shiqi has also been appreciated by Old Lady Cui.
These two people might really pose a threat to my position!
While their identities have not yet been confirmed, they should be suppressed first so that they can understand who will be the one in charge of the He Mansion in the future.
His two younger brothers and sisters were also quite indignant. They were the young masters and young ladies of the royal palace! Two country bumpkins actually didn't respect them and put on such a stinky face and a nonchalant look. It made me angry just by looking at them!
He Yao, in particular, was slapped in the face but was unable to retaliate, so she was very angry and also instigated the crowd.
Prince He frowned at what they said and paced back and forth, thinking that Zhou Lang and his wife were indeed being rude. Should they be taught a lesson?
He Zhang was right. If I allowed this disobedient child to bully me and did nothing, people would look down on me.
Then just do it simply.
He Zhang was familiar with General Gong of Jingzhao Prefecture, so he invited him to discuss the matter. He wanted to arrest Zhou Lang and Lin Shiqi, especially Lin Shiqi, on charges of disrespect and bring them to the government office to intimidate them and dampen their arrogance.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, General Gong had a strange expression on his face and looked at the prince and the others, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Prince He was surprised:
"What's wrong?"
General Gong hesitated and said:
"Well, Your Majesty, it is better to take a long-term view on this matter."
Prince He was even more puzzled. The so-called long-term consideration was simply an excuse, meaning that it was best not to do it. What was there to be taboo about just two country folks?
He asked directly:
"I wonder what concerns General Gong has?"
General Gong had no choice but to say:
"The prince has given an order, and we should obey it. However, there is another hidden story behind this matter. The prince should have heard of Tianxuan Pavilion?"
Prince He nodded slightly.
"I've heard that Tianxuan Pavilion was secretly supported by Prince Gong. What's wrong?"
General Gong forced a smile.
"Then His Majesty may not know that Tianxuan Pavilion has changed its owner. Its current owner is Lin Shiqi."
"What did you say?"
Prince He suddenly lost his composure, and was so surprised that he forgot to close his mouth, "How is this possible?"
Officer Gong smiled bitterly.
"This is absolutely true. It happened a few days ago. Not many people know about it now. I have a brother who works in Prince Gong's Mansion, so he learned the news a little earlier. However, this matter cannot be concealed. It won't be long before everyone knows about it."
The He family father and son were both stunned, standing like wooden stakes, motionless, totally unable to believe their ears.
However, it was impossible for General Gong to deceive them.
Prince He said subconsciously:
"General Gong, are you sure? How could such a mysterious and powerful organization be willing to obey them? No, how could they possibly take over Tianxuan Pavilion?"
General Gong sighed.
"But that's the fact. I also heard that Zhou Lang and his wife, plus a child, only three people took over Tianxuan Pavilion. Prince Gong personally led his guards to try to take it back, but ended up returning empty-handed."
The He family father and son were shocked again.
Prince Gong is not Prince He. He has a guard of 3,000 people, but he couldn't beat three people? ?
"How is this possible..."
Prince He was puzzled and muttered to himself.
Officer Gong smiled bitterly.
"I don't dare to believe it either, but my brother was personally involved in it, and this matter couldn't be more true. Prince Gong suffered a great loss, and no one in the palace dared to tell anyone, but such a big thing can't be concealed for long."
He said this again and again, and King He had no choice but to believe it.
"If that's the case, this matter does need to be carefully considered. We are sorry for troubling Gong. Thank you for informing us of this news."
Prince He felt his mouth dry, but there were some things he had to say. Although he was a prince and sounded impressive, he actually had no real power and could not put on airs in front of a military officer in Jingzhao Prefecture.
Because he is specifically responsible for the public security of Kyoto. Although he is a low-ranking official, he has soldiers under him and real power.
General Gong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"I'm glad that Your Majesty understands. I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye."
Prince He could only instruct his son to send the man out.
After the people left, they closed the door and looked at each other, their faces all looking equally ugly.
He Zhang, in particular, felt bitter in his heart and mouth, and felt that his life was too unsatisfactory.
I thought the other party was a firefly that I could easily control, but it turned out that he was a dragon that could snatch me away with force.
What to do next?
He Yao was a little confused and asked:
"Dad, is Tianxuan Pavilion so great? It's just a civilian organization, right? Why are the soldiers unwilling to fight it?"
Prince He was somewhat distracted.
"Although it is a civilian organization, it has mastered the secrets of many officials in the court. No one is willing to fight to the death with it. It is mainly commissioned by others to carry out assassinations and sell intelligence. Some people also like this kind of organization, which provides them with great convenience. With the involvement of various parties, it has survived to this day."
No wonder so many people toasted Zhou Lang at the banquet. I thought it was because of the Cui family before, but now it seems that it is not the case. The couple already has enough capital.
