Chapter 279: The Critical Matter

Ye Chengjing nodded, and then put down his chopsticks.

The silver chopsticks made a crisp crashing sound, and he continued: "Does the princess know about the drought in Yanzhou this year?"

Lin Qingge was stunned, as someone who had read the original book, she naturally knew.

This incident was Ye Chengjing's merit, and it was also this incident that led to the complete break between the Lin family and Lin Qingge, and then Lin Qingge lost his use value, and was later killed by Ye Chengjing.

But as far as Lin Qingge is concerned, she definitely doesn't know.

Being in the capital, in the courtyard of the Lin family's deep house, it would seem strange if you knew.

Lin Qingge raised his head, with just the right amount of surprise and dazedness in his eyes, making it almost impossible to find a flaw.

"Lord, what do you say? Isn't this year's Yanzhou a bumper year?"

stared at Lin Qingge for a long time, even if it was Ye Chengjing, he couldn't tell whether she was telling the truth or pretending to be stupid.

Although Lin Qingge had repeatedly expressed his intentions to himself before, he always felt that as the daughter of the Lin family, she should not be ignorant, or that the harmlessness she showed made people not believe it.

Frankly speaking, it is still quite stressful to be stared at by Ye Chengjing.

From a certain point of view, Lin Qingge may be the person who knows him best besides Xiao Tingyi himself.

She knew very well that Ye Chengjing was ruthless in the face of the enemy.

Without seeing any flaws on Lin Qingge's face, Ye Chengjing finally lowered his head and stirred the chicken soup in the bowl at will, "So Master Lin doesn't know about it?"

Lin Qingge was stunned, and she realized that this might be a trap.

She couldn't defend Master Lin, so Lin Qingge just shook her head, "Father never talks to me about government affairs, is it okay for Lord Yanzhou?"

Ye Chengjing scooped a spoonful of soup into his mouth, and then slowly raised his eyes to look at her.

The tone seemed a little nonchalant, "It's actually very serious, do you remember that man yesterday?"

"Did the prince mean that the man who stopped the carriage and horse and claimed to be from Yanzhou?"

"Yes, he told me that there was a great drought in Yanzhou, and it was not good to make a living. The people were easy to eat, but the local officials concealed the information for the sake of political performance, and even increased taxes. ”

Xiao Tingyi's words sounded deadly.

Although Lin Qingge had known this for a long time, he still showed surprise.

"This, it's all true?"

"I was also suspicious, so I sent spies to Yanzhou. ”

Lin Qingge frowned, Xiao Tingyi was extremely honest with himself today, almost without reservation.

But Lin Qingge didn't think this was good news, it was obvious that Xiao Tingyi's purpose in doing this could not be out of trust in himself.

His words are more like a temptation, a temptation of his own attitude.

"How can this be-" Lin Qingge frowned, then raised his head again and looked at Xiao Tingyi, "Why did the prince want to tell me this? This should be a secret, right?"

"Well, indeed. Ye Chengjing nodded, "But you and I are husband and wife, and husband and wife are one, not to mention whose territory is Yanzhou?"

Ye Chengjing's hand lightly covered Lin Qingge's hand, and his expression looked very serious, almost convincing people what he said.

Thinking of this section, Lin Qingge almost felt a little shuddered, but he still resisted the urge to withdraw his hand.

"Lord Wang, it's inconvenient for me to put my beak in your affairs, but when necessary, I believe you will handle it impartially. ”

This is a sign of loyalty, but whether Chengjing is willing to believe it or not is a later story.

Hearing this, Ye Chengjing seemed a little surprised, he let go of Lin Qingge's hand, "I thought you would beg me not to investigate this matter." ”

"Lord Wang, you don't have to tempt me like this, I am not only the daughter of the Lin family, but also your wife. ”

God knows Lin Qingge looked at Xiao Tingyi sincerely, but in fact, he was already about to vomit.

Thinking about Ye Chengjing's feelings, the look on his face was a little inexplicable, he glanced at Lin Qingge and stood up, "The princess understands the righteousness so well, this king is very pleased." In that case, let's stop here for today. ”

Lin Qingge also stood up, with a soft smile on his face, "Lord Wang, go slowly." ”

The two are happier than the other.

After Ye Chengjing left, Lin Qingge also lost his appetite completely.

It was originally a good meal, but because Xiao Tingyi made it like this, Lin Qingge didn't expect it.

She vaguely felt that the man from yesterday would be the key to the whole thing.

From Yanzhou to the capital, it takes more than half a month to come and go.

Since Xiao Tingyi dared to tell her, he was not afraid that she would tell the Lin family the news.

What exactly does he have in his hand, and what kind of hole cards can make Xiao Tingyi so confident?

Lin Qingge felt that his head was about to get bigger, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally asked Mama Xu to come up and clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Somehow, she suddenly had an idea and went out of the house to inquire about the situation.

The time must be chosen well, taking advantage of Xiao Tingyi's absence, saving him from having another whim one day, come to Lin Qingge's place, then it will be a goof.

One day, news came from the palace that Zhao Xiao Tingyi went to the banquet, and Lin Mengjing planned to go out that night.

After changing into a man's clothes, Qingtang pulled her, "Miss, you can think about it, if you are discovered, the prince will probably be angry." ”

"It's good not to be discovered by him, you can lie on my bed now, turn off the lights, and no one dares to disturb you, don't worry, I'll be back soon." Lin Qingge pinched Qingtang's cheek, and disappeared into the night with a flash

Just like the first time he went out, Lin Qingge still felt strange.

The nightlife in ancient times was not bad at all, but unfortunately there was no good wine, and the wine in this era was either too low or too many fusels, and she doubted that if she drank too much, she would lose her sight.

This time it was not the fifteenth, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street than last time.

Looking at the vendor who bought masks on the side of the road, Lin Qingge couldn't help but think of the last time he met Li Shao.

Subconsciously looked left and right, patted his chest with palpitations, fortunately he was not so unlucky, if he could meet Li Shao every time, it would be too much to carry it.

Since she wanted to find out the news when she went out this time, the teahouse restaurant was a gathering place for the three religions and nine streams.

Merchants from the south to the north will rest in the restaurant to repair, according to the description in the book, the largest restaurant in the capital is called Red Sleeve Move.

Walking north along the royal river, it didn't take long for Lin Qingge to see a brightly lit restaurant.

In this era, there were no electric lights, and all the light at night was provided by candles.

It can be seen that there are many guests in the building, Lin Qingge is overjoyed, knowing that he has come to the right place, and enters the restaurant with a smile.

Soon, the shopkeeper paid the money, "Guest officer, how many of you." ”

"I'm the only one. ”

"Okay, this way, please!"
