The next day, in the morning.

The sun was shining outside, and the maple leaves were already fiery red with the late arrival.

A group of Tongzhou officials sent the great eunuch Wang Jien to the gate of the city, and then said goodbye and left.

Wang Chen naturally came.

Doorway.

On the side of the carriage.

Wang Jien, who was about to leave, advised: "Brother Chen, you will be in Tongzhou City for a few months, and in the spring of next year, I will find a way to find you an official and a half-position, although the imperial court does not allow officials to do business, but after you become an official, you can hand over the property to your subordinates to do, and it will not hinder making money, don't make trouble, don't let people seize the handle, otherwise it will be inconvenient for me to seek an official for you, understand?"

Wang Chen hesitated, and was considering whether to ask the "cheap father-in-law" to deal with the Tongzhou Lin family, but in the end he didn't say anything, and said, "I understand." ”

"Hehe, you kid. Wang Jien shook his head, "Regarding the matter between you and the Tongzhou Lin family, when many officials sent me away just now, Zhou Zhixian had already quietly told me that the war ahead is tight, and I can't spare my hands for the time being, you can rest assured, it's just a Lin family, and after the war, my father will definitely help you uproot the Tongzhou Lin family, and you will tolerate it for a few months." After speaking, he was not very relieved, and said with relief, "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late, not to mention that you only need to wait for a few months, don't do anything drastic, in case the other party jumps over the wall and harms you." ”

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years.

But I'm not a gentleman, and I think about revenge all day long.

However, Wang Chen knew that Wang Jien was concerned about himself, after all, the Lin family had a big business in Tongzhou, and he was weak, if the Lin family jumped up, it was really possible to hurt him, "Got it." ”

"Alright, I'm leaving, you can go back. Wang Jien waved his hand.

Wang Chen didn't hold back anymore, and watched the group escort Wang Jien away.

Stared at it for a moment.

He shook his head slightly, and turned to go to the city.

Suddenly, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man who looked like a splash of skin stepped forward and whispered, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, but Wang Ji is the owner?"

Wang Chen was very wary of strangers, "What's the matter?"

The man explained his intention and said, "Someone asked me to ask you to invite you to Wolf Mountain for a while." ”

Well?

It can't be that Lin Yuantu wants to murder me again, right?

Now Wang Chen's nerves are tense, and his first reaction is like this, he said casually: "Oh, you help me reply, I'm not available." ”

The puffy skin reluctantly said: "No, people said that they must go to you." ”

Wang Chen heaved, "If you invite me, you have to go?" Who does he think he is?" After speaking, he didn't bother anymore and turned sideways to leave.

"Childe, wait a minute. Splashy stopped in front of him again, and hurriedly said: "She is afraid that you will not go, so she specially asked me to tell you four words - red sleeves and fragrance." ”

Hearing these four words, Wang Chen knew who it was, Liu Qihong, I talked to her about this in the shop some time ago.

It's just that he feels a little weird.

Liu Qihong wants to see herself, why can't she go directly to Wang Ji when she asks about Wolf Mountain?

And it's mysterious?

Forget it, this woman helps herself sit in the hall to collect medicinal herbs, and she still has to give face for inviting a meeting.

Wang Chen thought for a moment, turned around and walked in the direction of Wolf Mountain.

It wasn't until there was no one that he took out his bike and rode it.

……

More than half an hour.

When approaching Wolf Mountain, Wang Chen put his bicycle into the space and swayed slowly by himself.

At the foot of Wolf Mountain.

A chariot with pink curtains stopped, and there was no coachman.

Wang Chen estimated that it was Liu Qihong's carriage.

Walked over and knocked on the wooden plank of the body, "Is it Miss Qihong?"

As soon as the words fell, the curtain of the car was opened, revealing an unexpected face, it turned out to be Mrs. Lin Shao, she applied a little powder, a pair of eyes like Qiutan hidden under the fine eyelashes, covering the unstoppable Qinggao, Mrs. Lin lightly cinnabar-like delicate red lips, and made a pleasant voice, "Maybe disappointed Wang Yanei, I am not your confidante 'Red Sleeves Fragrance' Liu Qihong." ”

Wang Chen snorted, "Why are you?"

Mrs. Lin didn't answer, "Son, please get in the car, the concubine has something important to discuss with you." ”

It's coming.

Go up.

Wang Chen lifted the curtain and climbed up.

There was no one inside except for Mrs. Lin Shao, and the maid Cui'er she had been carrying with her was nowhere to be found.

"What's the matter?" Wang Chen's tone was not polite, he didn't have a good impression of the Lin family, not to mention that Lin Yuantu was Mrs. Lin's husband, if it weren't for Mrs. Lin Shao having asked Xiaocui to inform him before in case someone harmed her, he wouldn't want to deal with this woman.

Well, although this woman is beautiful.

Oh, that's not right.

He suddenly reacted to one thing, when Mrs. Lin asked Xiao Cui to inform him, he hadn't gone to Wanhualou yet, since the other party knew that Lin Yuantu was going to do something, then it was definitely not because of Liu Qihong.

Why exactly?

Wang Chen was puzzled, and he was even more puzzled, Lin Yuantu was Mrs. Lin Shao's husband, why did this woman still report to herself, an "enemy"? After all, he killed Mrs. Lin Shao to make a fool of herself, and Xiao Cui was arrested, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is an enemy.

Mrs. Lin Shao is dressed very well, the cuffs of the white long skirt are embroidered with light blue lotus flowers, the silver thread outlines a few auspicious clouds, the hem is densely packed with a row of white sea water, the cloud map, the chest is a wide piece of brocade wrapped in the chest, the body is lightly turned and the long skirt is spread out, and the slender white legs make people glance at it.

She calmly stretched out her slender fingers of green white jade and slightly touched the green silk that drooped down to her cheeks, and did not answer the question directly, and said: "Gongzi has recently made two excellent works, 'The clothes and belts are gradually widened and will not regret it, and people will be haggard for Yixiao', 'Zhirao Shu and Lychee come, ask the slender hand, who will pass the ice bowl', all of which have been sung in Tongzhou City, especially the latter poem, I heard that it was specially made for Liu Qihong, the top brand of Wanhualou, so she won the name of red sleeves and fragrance." ”

Wang Chen frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"

"I just don't understand, you are so talented, why don't you take the test to be famous and loyal to the country, but live in seclusion in the market and be willing to be a merchant?"

Seeing that she didn't talk about the topic for a long time, Wang Chen was a little impatient and said, "If the young lady has nothing to do, I will leave first." ”

With that, he lifted his ass and hunched over to get out of the carriage.

"Wait. Young Lady Lin shouted.

Then, Wang Chen felt that his right hand was grabbed by something as tender as silk, and when he turned around, he saw that Young Lady Lin grabbed his hand in a hurry.

Perhaps realizing that something was wrong, Mrs. Lin hurriedly let go, her face was slightly red, and she said apologetically: "The concubine has offended her son." ”

To tell the truth, Wang Chen felt very good, he didn't sit back immediately, but said, "What is the matter with you?"

"The son is a person who is anxious, and the concubine is no longer roundabout, so let's say it to you. Young Lady Lin didn't ink anymore, revealing a solemn face, "Someone wants to put you to death." ”

Wang Chen already knew about this matter, he smiled and sat back, looked directly at Mrs. Lin, and said, "Isn't it your family official? I already knew about this matter, but unfortunately he didn't succeed." ”

"You mean that Cheng Sihu was arrested, right?" Young Madam Lin knew quite a lot, and she said lightly: "What I said about putting you to death is not this matter, but that the entire Lin clan is preparing to deal with you and is committed to driving you out of Tongzhou City." ”

Wang Chen: "Huh?"

Young Lady Lin whispered slowly and explained the matter in detail.

It turned out that after Cheng Sihu was arrested yesterday, Lin Yuantu immediately knew, and also knew that Wang Chen was in love with several bigwigs, and under the fright, he found Lin Yuan, the head of the Lin family, and confided in the matter as it was.

After hearing this, the forester was naturally furious, and took the thorn and slapped Lin Yuantu fiercely.

When he heard this, Wang Chen felt relieved in his heart, Lin Yuantu deserved to be beaten, but Mrs. Lin's words made him feel creepy.

“…… Zunzhang took out 10,000 taels of silver and took care of all the positions of the Tongzhou City Government overnight, just asking the government not to interfere in the affairs of the Lin family and you. Young Lady Lin leaned lightly against the wall of the car, her good-looking and delicate ankles were inadvertently exposed to the air, and she continued: "After finishing the dots, Zunzhang mobilized his contacts to make the major squires and rich people no longer go to your shop to buy goods, and I want to wait until you can't stand to leave Tongzhou City alone, and force you to ask about the source of Wang Ji's items, as for then...... Childe is a smart man, he shouldn't need to be a concubine to talk about it, right?"

it!

Lao Lin is so vicious!

First of all, let the government not interfere, so that his biggest reliance is gone, and secondly, he used the relationship to cut off Wang Ji's income, and normal businessmen saw that they couldn't do business, so they had no choice but to find another way, as the saying goes, the tree moves the dead and the living, just like Mrs. Lin Shao said, she had to leave Tongzhou City.

And that's not even the most ruthless.

The most ruthless thing is that even if he wants to leave, the forester still doesn't want to let go, and he is actually ready to hijack outside the city, and ask Wang Ji where the goods came from, and if he can't ask, he will definitely be tortured.

Got it?

Fools know it, it's a click!

Paralyzed, Tongzhou Lin doesn't have a good thing.

Wang Chen was furious in his heart, he was still thinking about some things that would hurt the rest of the Lin family, after all, he had no grudges with the rest of the Lin family, but now that people are harmless, he feels that he can't control so much, he has to make something big and let the entire Lin family perish!

Either you die or I die!

Just thinking about it, Wang Chen suddenly thought of something and said, "Then why did Lin Yuantu deal with me? I seem to have no grievances with him." ”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin's face changed slightly, her emotions were well controlled, and she immediately returned to normal, and said honestly with a smile: "In the final analysis, it is the concubine who has lost the face of the Lin family." She went into more detail.

After listening, Wang Chen completely understood.

He was the first person in more than 200 years to ask the government to go to the Lin family's house in Tongzhou to arrest people, not the land of fireworks that offended Lin Yuantu.

I understand it when I think about it.

Not to mention that there were prisoners in ancient families who felt ashamed, even in modern society, if someone in the family was caught and imprisoned, they would also be poked in the back.

This kind of thing is unbearable for the Lin family, a giant in Tongzhou, and Lin Yuantu naturally wants to get back to the field.

In the end, the conflict between himself and the Lin family started because of the woman in front of him?

Wang Chen had a point in his heart, but he was still a little puzzled, and asked: "Eh, the young lady is not right, you are the young lady of the Lin family, tell me these things, what is the benefit for you?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Mrs. Lin's eyes, but she said in her mouth: "If I say that I admire Gongzi's extraordinary literary talents, and I can't bear to suffer from you, do you believe it?"

Wang Chen definitely didn't believe this, he said: "I don't believe it." ”

Mrs. Lin also put it on, pretending to show a sad expression, "The concubine is sincere, but you don't believe it, it's really sad." ”

Seeing that the other party refused to say, Wang Chen knew that there would be no result if he asked again, maybe he would be angry with the other party, now there is a person who is a traitor to himself, at least he can know a little bit about the movements of the Lin family, he thought about it, decided to plan it, and said with a smile: "The young lady really admires me?"

Mrs. Lin hesitated, still pretending to say: "Indeed, since the concubine was a child, I have admired a great writer like Li Du, but I have never encountered it, and I never thought to hear the three amazing works of the son. She paused and continued in a slightly seductive tone, "The concubine really wants to be by the side of the talented son day and night, but it's a pity...... Alas, I was married to another man's wife. ”

Yo, you're going to make beauty tricks?

Where did Wang Chen not understand what she said, it was nothing more than saying that if she didn't marry Lin Yuantu, she would be willing to be her own woman, the ancients said that heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, like Mrs. Lin Shao's unbelievably beautiful woman, how many normal men will not be moved?

If he wasn't in love with Shen Xia, and he only had a woman in his heart, he would be thrilled.

But he wasn't ready to let go of Young Lady Lin.

Since this matter started because of you, and your husband bore the brunt of it, now the entire Lin family has to move themselves, and they must collect some interest.

So, the corners of Wang Chen's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said to Mrs. Lin: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight, since the young lady loves me, it doesn't have to be day and night, we can also fall in love with each other in the lingering autumn colors." ”

With that, he leaned forward slightly, and reached out to grab Young Lady Lin's jade hand.

Isn't Lin Yuantu trying to get me?

Okay, buddy, you can't suffer in vain, take advantage of your wife first.

Besides, he could see that Young Lady Lin wanted to take advantage of herself.

Since you want to use yourself, you must pay a price, and I'm not Kaizi, so I'm being used by you for no reason?

Impossible!

Wang Chen deliberately made this decision, wanting to see how much Young Madam Lin could endure before he was willing to reveal the truth, otherwise he would not be at ease, after all, no one knew what Young Madam Lin had in mind.
