Chapter 766 Mutiny

Early the next morning, the Duwei Mansion was caught in a fire, and the news of the death of the Dudu spread throughout Langzhou City.

Although the common people and soldiers near Duwei's Mansion tried their best to put out the fire, they failed to keep this ancient house that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Only five charred corpses were found in the abandoned.

Chang Yanjue and Nie Huai'an were furious when they heard the news, and complained in the posthouse early in the morning.

Chu Nanzhi led the little treasures into the guest room, just when they saw the elders yelling at Pei Jian: "I don't know which one who has suffered a thousand knives dares to do such a cruel thing to the governor of a state, how can this happen in the mighty city of Langzhou?" Wait for something horrible."

"According to the investigation by the governor of the state, it was the governor who drank too much last night and accidentally knocked over the candle in the room, which led to this tragedy."

Pei Jian explained solemnly: "The eldest princess and the son-in-law were very distressed when they learned that the governor was in trouble, and the eldest princess even fainted from crying several times, but she was thinking about the banquet for the princess and the second elder today. Now it has stabilized a lot, the last general has comforted the eldest princess, and the eldest princess said that she will rest for half a day, and at night she will personally apologize to Princess Pingning for what happened the day before yesterday."

"The eldest princess lost Yizhu, so there is no need to worry about these little things."

Chu Nanzhi smiled at him warmly: "It is time for the eldest princess to rest and rest. After all, what happened at the posthouse the night before cannot be blamed on the eldest princess."

"It was the lack of **** by the last general that shocked the princess and everyone. These days, the Eldest Princess has been worrying about her brother's illness due to her brother's condition getting worse. She has neglected all of you. She should hold a banquet to make amends."

Pei Jian looked at everyone with a smile on his face, pretending to be sincere.

"Since this is the case, we will go to the banquet as promised."

Chu Nanzhi no longer refused, and resolutely agreed.

She would like to see what tricks this eldest princess can play today.

"Then Concubine Lao and you rested in the post for half a day, and at the end of the evening, I will personally send chariots and horses to welcome you nobles."

After Pei Jian clasped his fists and bowed respectfully to everyone, he hurriedly left the post house.

The second elder is still confused at this time.

Nie Huai'an frowned, and asked in confusion: "What exactly does the eldest princess want to do? After all, Rong Heng was the governor of the state capital and died suddenly. She just made the matter go away without saying anything, and made a big show of it." Banquet, it's hard not to be suspicious."

"General Pei just said that the governor accidentally knocked down the candle and burned himself to ashes, so there is no need to check anything."

Chu Nanzhi grinned: "No matter what, the eldest princess's kindness is hard to refuse, and we can't refuse."

"Da Zhi, once Rong Heng dies, we will go to the governor's mansion for a banquet today, I'm afraid it will be a grand banquet."

Nie Huai'an reminded with worry.

How could Chu Nanzhi not know this.

I'm afraid Lin Yanjing is secretly having fun at the moment.

"If she wants our lives, even if she stays in this posthouse, she will have no way out. Instead of doing this, she might as well obey obediently. Maybe she can be pleased."

Chu Nanzhi pretended to be helpless and sighed: "People have to bow their heads under the eaves."

"Dazhi's words are not unreasonable, and this old man also wants to see what tricks she can pull off."

Chang Yanjue was deeply impressed by Chu Nanzhi's words, and immediately agreed with her proposition.

…

Everyone rested in the posthouse for half a day, and when they arrived in the evening, the carriage from the governor's mansion arrived as scheduled.

Chu Nanzhi asked the two elders to sit with her in the front carriage, and ordered Liu Yun to lead the little treasures to follow in the rear carriage.

Approaching the Governor's Mansion, Chu Nanzhi told the elders: "No matter what happens tonight, the two mentors just need to drink with their hearts open. If the student's expectations are right, maybe Princess Yan will beg us at the dinner party." Leave Langzhou."

Seeing her confident look, the two elders recalled the student's reticence these days, and began to realize that this girl must be planning something again. They looked at each other and smiled, neither of them talking too much.

Entering the governor's mansion, I saw Lin Yanjing leading a group of Langzhou officials waiting in front of the banquet hall.

Before Chu Nanzhi got out of the carriage, she greeted her personally, her eyes were full of guilt: "It's really a pity that my nephew and daughter-in-law and the second elder have been left in the posthouse for so many days. Feel sorry."

Chu Nanzhi just got off the carriage when she saw a pair of slender jade fingers pulling her up.

She had no choice but to pretend to be very affectionate and replied: "Auntie is serious, Mr. Inspector is seriously ill, I didn't visit the mansion, it should be my fault."

"The niece and daughter-in-law are magnanimous and don't care as much as the slave family. The slave family is really moved."

Lin Yanjing smiled and led everyone in.

Waiting to sit down, he began to sigh regretfully: "The banquet has already been prepared, but it is a pity that the governor has unfortunately suffered a disaster and cannot go to the banquet together. The slave family is deeply saddened."

"It's also the order of the governor. Don't be too sad, aunt."

Chu Nanzhi pretended to be relieved.

"Speaking of which, although the governor has not been in Langzhou for a long time, he has been doing his best to take care of the affairs of the state government for the slave family and the son-in-law. How can the slave family feel relieved when he leaves here?"

Lin Yanjing sighed, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes: "If it weren't for what happened the night before, I wouldn't be able to arrange the banquet tonight, I think he would understand if he was alive. At this juncture, our two families must not have any rifts, and we should share the same hatred."

"The aunt's painstaking efforts are naturally understandable to the governor."

Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and looked at her with a slight smile. Seeing that her eyes were full of sadness, she was really full of helplessness as if she had lost a loved one.

After everyone was seated, Lin Yanjing signaled the servants to pass the dishes and pour the wine, then raised the wine glass, and sighed loudly: "This is the first glass of wine, we respect the deceased Great Governor, and only hope that he can protect our Langzhou." Continue to let the weather go smoothly, and protect the people in Langzhou and Pingning Prefecture from the suffering of war."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, there was a rough yelling sound from outside:

"The eldest princess is really well-intentioned. Since she has the heart of a bodhisattva, she should respect the imperial court's will. How dare she give birth to a different heart."

Immediately afterwards, there was a flash of swords and swords, and densely packed soldiers rushed in from outside the hall.

Everyone fixed their eyes, they were all dumbfounded, and shouted:

"The governor, the governor is not dead."

Lin Yanjing stared dumbfounded at Ji Rongheng who was approaching, and the wine cup in her hand fell off the ground with a crisp sound.

"Ji Rongheng, how dare you lie to this princess."

Lin Yanjing pointed at the figure entering, and cursed aggressively.

"This question should be asked by the governor of the capital to the eldest princess."

Ji Rongheng went straight to the top of the main hall, and slowly picked up the jug on Lin Yanjing's table and drank a few swigs. Seeing this, Pei Jian immediately got up and pointed at him angrily: "Grand Governor, don't be rude."

Without further ado, Ji Rongheng drew out the sword in his waist, slashed at Pei Jian with one hand, and cursed: "You despicable villain, how dare you reprimand the governor."

Half of Pei Jian's arm was cut off and fell to the ground, blood was splashed all over for a while, and he screamed "Ahhh" in pain.

Chu Nanzhi hurriedly protected a few little treasures, preventing them from seeing the **** scene, calmly faced Ji Rongheng, and then reprimanded angrily: "The governor should be gentle, there are still children here."
