After days of cloudlessness, Jiankang ushered in a day covered with dark clouds. Seeing a storm approaching, pedestrians on the street rushed towards their destination.

In private, Xiao Ben, the Marquis of Jian'an, was also as in the weather as the weather, with dark clouds, and he sat on the couch without saying a word.

Next to him, a woman with outstanding appearance was waiting nervously, for fear of any mistakes, and angering Xiao Ben.

This is Xiao Ben's villa, used to accommodate the outdoor room, and this woman is one of them.

Xiao Ben, who was in a good mood, looked at him now because he had received bad news.

He just learned that the operation in Hanshan failed and Xuzhou Governor Li Li was safe and sound, and the people he sent were basically arrested.

Fortunately, someone escaped the search and brought the news back. Xiao Ben learned from this that the Princess of Xiangdong Xu Zhaopei was also taken away by the officials.

Therefore, the government will definitely investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.

Fortunately, he had made careful arrangements before and commanded the desperate people through his confidant, so even if these people were arrested, he could not be found.

As for the Princess Xu Zhaopei of Xiangdong, it is useless even if he is alive.

First of all, those who imprisoned Xu Zhaopei did not know that he was the mastermind behind the scenes, so there was no hidden danger of Xu Zhaopei remembering his name.

Secondly, during the imprisonment, this woman changed many places. Even if she recalled afterwards, she didn't know the specific location and ownership of the imprisoned place.

After thinking about it, although Li Li failed and lost some of his "branches and leaves", he would not expose the "tree trunks" and would not expose the "tree roots". There was nothing to worry about.

Xiao Ben was glad of his caution. Hanshan's failure in operation was just a loss of some of the hired outlaws.

As I thought about it, my mood returned a lot and I was no longer so annoyed.

When the emperor and the crown prince died, the crown prince, a child ascended the throne and became emperor, the imperial throne would inevitably not sit steadily, so the kings would definitely fight to the death.

He just needs to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and seize the opportunity to make a profit.

Next to him, the beauty saw that Xiao Ben's face looked "cloudy and sunny", breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to serve him.

Xiao Ben held the other party in his arms and was very excited: "You are the only one today? Let another sister come here. You can decide which one it is."

The beauty whispered: "Yes..."

After a while, another beauty came in. Xiao Ben hugged her left and right, and was very satisfied. He decided to "show off his skills" today.

These two women, as well as the other two who had not come here, were both beautiful and were originally the favorite concubines of Xiao Yuanming, the Marquis of Zhenyang.

In the first year of Taiqing, the governor of Yuzhou, Xiao Yuanming, took charge of the battle. He was defeated and captured in the Battle of Hanshan. His concubine returned to Jiankang from Shouyang, Yuzhou and lived in a villa that was set up for him before Xiao Yuanming.

Hou Jing occupied Shouyang and, once the chief minister of Xiao Yuanming, followed Hou Jing with the Xiahou family and attacked Jiankang, he won these four beauties.

Later, Xiahou Huan was defeated and died, his subordinates scattered, and the four beauties were taken away by Xiahou Huan's subordinate Xiahou Xun.

Later, the imperial court searched for the people who were accused of rebellion, and Xiahou Xun was desperate, so he defected to Xiao Ben and gave these four beauties as gifts to Xiao Ben.

Although he changed his master several times and nine years later, the four beauties still have outstanding appearances and Xiao Ben is very pampered.

I specially bought a house as a villa and arranged four people to come to have fun from time to time.

Now, Xiao Ben is in high spirits and is about to fall in love with the two beauties, but he is distracted by the followers who come to report the news.

He suppressed his anger and asked, "When was it so anxious?"

The man was not afraid that Xiao Ben would get angry: "First! Good news, good news!"

“What good news?”

The follower looked at the two beauties, Xiao Ben waved his hand, and the two of them took a break.

He was left with only him in the room, and the follower whispered, "First time, that old woman has returned to Jiankang."

"Old woman" refers to the Princess of Xiangdong, and Xiao Ben looked unhappy: "What's good news!"

Xu Zhaopei must have returned to Jiankang when he was rescued, so Xiao Ben was not surprised.

The follower looked excited: "First! This old woman who was tired of playing with us might have been tricked into her mind and actually pointed out... she identified the cheap brother-in-law of the King of Xiangdong, the Wang brothers, who were the mastermind of the Double Ninth Festival! "

"What?" Xiao Ben couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect Xu Zhaopei to bite the cheap brother-in-law of the King of Xiangdong.

But after thinking about it carefully, this move was unexpected, but reasonable.

The Princess Xu Zhaopei of Xiangdong has been incompatible with the King of Xiangdong for decades. He is extremely resentful of the Wang sisters who are favored by the King of Xiangdong. This is no secret.

On the Double Ninth Festival, the Princess of Xiangdong was imprisoned, and the assassin pretended to be her, assassinated the emperor, and the death of the Prince of Xiangdong Xiao Fang and others.

Xiao Fang and others were the only legitimate son of the King of Xiangdong. After his death, Xiao Fangzhu, the eldest son of the Wang family, succeeded him as the crown prince. The whereabouts of the Princess of Xiangdong were unknown, so the Wang sisters naturally took the opportunity to take control of the back house of the royal palace.

Then, from the idea of ​​"who benefits, who is the most suspicious" we can infer the suspect...

Sure enough, Wang’s brothers and Xiao Fangzhu’s uncles are the most likely to act!

After Xiao Ben confirmed again, he was overjoyed: "Okay, okay! It's lively now!"

After Xu Zhaopei's interference, the water suddenly became more muddy, making it easier for him to catch fish in troubled waters.

......

It was sunny after the rain and the sun was shining brightly. Xiao Ben, who was cool in the garden in Jian'an Hou's Mansion, was in a brighter mood.

Because one incident has caused storm in Jiankang City: Xu Zhaopei, the princess of Xiangdong who returned to Jiankang, cried to the Empress Dowager about being imprisoned by the thief.

During his imprisonment, he heard the thief accidentally let it go and pointed at the mastermind behind the scenes, but Wang Xun, the brother of Wang, the sister of the beloved concubine of the King of Xiangdong.

The news is amazing. Among the Wang brothers, Wang Lin, the youngest in Jiankang, came to Youshi alone to "submit" the case, saying that he had a clear conscience and was willing to be questioned.

Wang Lin has served as the governor of Dongliangzhou in recent years. Even if this happens, she cannot directly participate.

As for his brother Wang Xun, who was an official in another place, after receiving the news, it was said that he immediately asked the assistant to tie him up and escort him to Jiankang, and asked the officials to interrogate him.

The Wang sister was so scared that she was speechless, and then asked the assistant officer of the royal palace to escort him to Yousi and also be questioned.

Also, it is said that Xiao Fangzhu, the prince of Xiangdong, and other sons from the Wang sisters, were old and cried and wanted to go to jail with their biological mother.

The young man didn't know what happened, but when he saw that his mother was not by his side, he cried loudly all day long.

The King of Xiangdong was furious and was furious. Most of the illnesses were cured, and he became bedridden.

As for what kind of anger the King of Xiangdong was and who was angry, I have said that.

Xiao Ben was so happy that he couldn't help but enjoy himself in the villa for several consecutive days, and had fun with the four beauties, so he felt like he was hollowed out.

It seems that the princess of Xiangdong Xu Zhaopei gave up and knew that she had become a well-known decay and was disgraced. She simply dragged her old rival, Sister Wang, and died together.

After all, the crime of regicide is enough to confiscate the family and destroy the clan. If the Wang brothers and sisters confirm this crime, they will inevitably be cut after parading.

While removing the thorns in his eyes, the Princess Xiangdong also slapped his old enemy, King Xiangdong.

If she did this, the King of Xiangdong would be in trouble, so she would not think about the position of governor. Once the "Wang Xun plots to rebel", the King of Dong would not be able to fall well.

In this way, Poyang King Xiao Fan replaced him and became the auxiliary vassal king, but this would make many of the young emperors dissatisfied.

So, will the King of Poyang sit and wait for death?

Xiao Ben thought it would definitely not be possible. At that time, there was a rumor that the King of Poyang had made a mistake in his plan, secretly hoarding food and grass, and raising heroes.

Now that I have the power to assist in the government, I must know the principle of "walking against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat."

Then it is not impossible to take action to kill the threatening kings first.

The King of Poyang and the Kings will break up sooner or later, and the fight will be broken and bloody. He Xiao Ben can sit in Jiankang City safely and watch the tiger fight, and then the fisherman will benefit.

I am still young, I have a careful management ability, and when the time is right, I will try harder.

Xiao Ben became happier the more he thought about it, and he almost whistled to the sky.

If I had known that Xu Zhaopei could have such a "use", why would he plan to assassinate Li Li? It cost him a lot of money for this assassination!

The rangers hired by Xiao Ben were all full of energy and treated the elderly, who had lost sex as an vent, and they worked hard for half a year. Sure enough, this woman's mind was completely ruined.

Just as he was proud, the servant came to report that the Princess Luling sent someone to ask if the wife of Jian'an would be in the mansion the next day.

Xiao Ben was stunned when he heard this: You have only been a few days later, and you miss me?

Because he had fun with the four beauties for a few days, he felt a little tired and wanted to take a few days off, but he couldn't let the beauties return home disappointed.

He asked the servant to reply, saying that the wife was in the mansion the next day.

When Princess Luling faced the foolish Xiao Ying, she was afraid that she would live like a year. It was natural to come to him to "relieve the fire" when she was lonely.
