Chapter 126: Cheng Luo Enters the Palace (Monthly Pass)
It is hard for Chen Dexing to be so hot-tempered. He didn't say anything just now under Chen Kaizhi's secret instructions.
Now he couldn't help it anymore. Chen Dexing said angrily: "Kaizhi, what should I do now? What are you really trying to refine the beautiful love for them? This... is just a thief, hum! If I can go out one day, I will definitely kill these evil thieves without leaving them."
But Chen Kaizhi just sat cross-legged quietly and rested.
Chen Dexing seemed to have suddenly thought something and stepped forward excitedly and said, "Did that dog thief hurt you just now? Where was the injury?"
"Your Highness... is unobstructed." Chen Kai said calmly.
"Hey!" Chen Dexing stomped his feet and said impatiently: "Why are you not in a hurry at all!"
Chen Kaizhi smiled bitterly and said, "What's the use of hurrying? But at least for the time being, our lives are not hindered. So far, the so-called VIP is just a fool for students. It is useless to treat such dangerous villains, whether they pretend to be a good man or cry and beg for mercy. They can only be tempted by profit. Your Highness, calm down first. I just said those words to buy time. I believe that at this time, the guards of Your Highness have already noticed that Your Highness is missing. It won't take long before the government and the royal palace will start searching. Your Highness is waiting."
After Chen Kaizhi said this, Chen Dexing then breathed a sigh of relief, but still cursed: "These people are really blind..."
Chen Kaizhi was tired. He knew that no matter how hard he scolded him, he would not change the status quo. He came here and experienced so much trouble and kept living hard. This time, although it was extremely dangerous, he still had to live well.
Delaying time and waiting for the government to search is certainly his plan, but Chen Kaizhi firmly believes that these salt vendors can occupy for so long, and may not be able to cover themselves, so... he must not bet all his bets on others, but how can he escape safely?
At present, if they don’t plan, it’s not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, the method of making fine salt will be trapped by these salt vendors. The so-called super supreme VIP Salt King is just his own gimmick, but once they find that they are making a fool of themselves, it’s time to kill and silence them.
What should I do?
With the stars falling from the skylight, the stars reflected in Chen Kaizhi's eyes. The young man in the dark had a bright light.

A fast horse entered Luoyang City directly from Ziweimen.
Immediately afterwards, the urgent report was sent to Tongzheng Department.
Tongzhengsili immediately transferred to the palace.
It didn't take long before several prime ministers and important officials in the court were ordered to enter the palace wall.
Everyone has already obtained the news in advance.
Because while reporting, many private messages from Jinling had already been sent by Kuaiyi.
Yao Wenzhi's thick eyebrows were furrowed deeply, looking worried. On the way to the palace, he happened to meet Chen Zhengdao, the prince of Beihai.
Chen Zhengdao glanced at Yao Wenzhi and said with a smile: "Mr. Yao..."
Yao Wenzhi looked tired, but he still went forward and bowed: "How did your highness enter the palace?"
Chen Zhengdao said: "The Empress Dowager summoned her, but she didn't know what to do."
Yao Wenzhi thought something and nodded slightly: "Oh, I'm afraid I've been waiting for a long time, so go and meet me quickly."
When we arrived at Ziwei Pavilion, we saw that all the important civil and military officials in Dachen arrived.
In addition to the Grand Sikong Yao Wenzhi, there was also the Grand Sikong Zhang Fen. King Zhao was already sitting under the empress dowager. The Prince of Beihai stood at the lower head of King Zhao with a gentle smile. In addition, there were also the Minister of Justice, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and several Hanlin officials in the cabinet secretary.
The empress dowager sat upright, glanced at everyone with her phoenix eyes. She stretched out her hand and pressed against the silver slip, saying, "Let's take a look at the news from Jinling for everyone."
The eunuch beside him carefully picked up the report and was about to look at it for King Zhao first.
King Zhao smiled and waved his hand and said, "I don't need to read it anymore. I have already received the news about this."
The eunuch passed the report to the Prince of Beihai. The Prince of Beihai smiled and said, "Although Xiao Wang is not very smart, he also knows a little about what news is in the report."
After hearing this, the empress dowager just pursed her lips and said, "The news from the two Qing families is really well-informed, and it is faster than the urgent report."
King Zhao smiled silently.
Chen Zhengdao, the prince of Beihai, said: "The Empress is a mischievous praise."
The others read the memorials, but Yao Wenzhi was shocked when he saw them.
Jinling salt vendors killed people in the street, killing and injuring hundreds of people.
If such a thing happened in an ordinary place or a remote place, it would not have shocked Yao Wenzhi so much, because poor mountains and rivers are out of troubled people, and the people there are barbaric, which is common, but the place where the incident happened was Jinling, but it was completely different.
Jinling is known as the Nandu, and is the third largest city after Luoyang and Chang'an. It is not only the economic and political center of Jiangnan, but most importantly, the residence of many envoys.
This time, hundreds of traitors made trouble in broad daylight and killed so many people.
But what about the imperial army? It was such an indecent thing that it would have made these hateful people escape easily!
Judging from the reports, these traitors held weapons and even standard crossbows, they were brave and fearless, and they all responded to each other. What does this... mean?
What if this time, they are not just making trouble, but treason?
Yao Wenzhi suddenly felt a chill on the back.
"Empress, these rioters are really hateful. The old minister thinks that the harm of private salt sales is a long time ago. I really didn't expect that the harm has come to this point. I ask the empress to immediately issue an order to the southeastern prefectures to crack down on salt sales. We must not indulge them anymore."
The empress dowager had a slightly slight look on her face, and her face looked very bad. This matter was very serious!
She said slowly: "From the report from Jinling Mansion, the person behind these traitors is a rioter who claims to be the Three-Eyed King. He said that he gathered more and more people and was rampant for many years. He did this to be the same as a demonstration to the court. How could the Ai family tolerate him? Just do it according to your wishes."
The King of Beihai Chen Zhengdao said at this time: "Empress, the news I have received is not like this."
"Huh?" The Empress Dowager did not look at Chen Zhengdao, but her eyes looked at King Zhao with a meaningful meaning.
King Zhao seemed to be unrelated to himself, but just sat upright.
"Let's listen."
Chen Zhengdao said: "What I heard is that the new prefect Bao Hu, after taking office, clamored everywhere to crack down on the salt vendors. As a result, Jinling was in a mess, but it was a loss of troops and generals. The salt vendors were taking risks for money. Although they should be killed, this matter was a bad result caused by Bao Hu. This person was not doing well. Shouldn't he investigate?"
