CHAPTER XXIX
The soft and cool spring breeze blows in through the crack in the door, and it is very comfortable.
Feng Ge smiled: "Lin Zhixian, are you wearing a lot, why are you sweating on your forehead?"
Since he knew her, Lin Xiangyu was just guarding against Jin Huang, who was always out of place, and never noticed that His Highness, who always spoke slowly and logically, and left room everywhere, actually had such a sharp side.
He involuntarily took a step back in the direction of the door, but the corner of his eye swept to a black shadow blocking the door, Guan Linsen seemed to just stand there casually, and even pinched a wicker that had just grown a bud in his hand and played with it, but he knew that if he wanted to break out, this seemingly taciturn teenager would never let him pass so easily.
As soon as he retreated, he happened to retreat to the octagonal table placed in the middle of the room, Lin Xiangyu sat down, reached out to pick up the teapot, shook it, but there was no water, he smiled and said: "Oh, look at my brain, there is a shortage of water in His Highness's room, I'll go boil some water." ”
As he spoke, he stood up again and looked at Guan Linsen: "Excuse me, I have to prepare some tea for His Highness." ”
Guan Linsen opened the door, Lin Xiangyu was about to go out, but he saw Guan Linsen whistling at the door, his voice was sharp, and he quickly got a response, a black dog ran out, standing at the door of the kitchen, Aunt Liu, who was holding a broom, ran out, and Huzi turned around and ran away, fleeing to Fengge's door.
Aunt Liu saw Guan Linsen standing at the door, she smiled and put down the broom, Guan Linsen looked at her: "Huzi is my lady's dog, what is wrong with it in the future, please bear with me, if it steals something, my lady will also compensate according to the price." Now please ask Aunt Liu to help send a pot of tea. ”
When she sent brown sugar ginger soup before, Feng Ge graciously grabbed a handful of money and stuffed it to her, more than she was busy in the county back kitchen for half a month, seeing that it was the handsome brother next to Feng Ge who asked for tea, she was busy responding, and trotted to the kitchen to pour a boiling pot of tea and send it over.
Seeing that Lin Xiangyu almost didn't squat on the ground and cried, he had been in this county office for so long, and he had never seen Aunt Liu treat him so well.
Aunt Liu not only brought hot tea, but also snacks such as melon seeds, green beans, crispy dates, etc., it seemed that she thought they were having a tea party in the house.
Lin Xiangyu, who deeply felt unhappy in life, sighed, he mixed it so badly, it was better to tell the truth.
When I went from Jingli to Feng County, it was not as rumored that I couldn't learn because I couldn't do it three times, but I asked to be transferred to Feng County to be the magistrate.
Just kidding, Feng County was a Zhixian County at that time, although the Zhixian was just a seven-grade sesame official, but he also controlled the livelihood of a county, and it was definitely not Lin Xiangyu, a little Hanlin, who said that he could be if he wanted to.
What's more, "being an official should be a Beijing official" is the consensus of all officials, and it is not to be a feudal official, rampant, a prince with heavy troops in his palm is squatting in this county, constrained everywhere, and it is too uncomfortable to stay.
Lin Xiangyu looked up at the ceiling: "The magistrate of Fengxian County at that time told me that the scenery here is unique, everyone loves mechanical skills, and their enthusiasm for engineering is very high. ”
The last few words came out of his mouth, and the sound changed, almost crying.
"Why do people always want to deceive me, an innocent, kind and innocent young man? Lin Xiangyu slapped the table.
Almost all of the funds allocated from above were swept away by the Law Wangfu for various reasons, and it was the Law Wangfu that asked for more when the grain was levied, and the good reputation of actively responding to the call of the court was attributed to the Law King, but it was Lin Xiangyu who faced the stinky face of the people under his rule.
So far, people have not been hit on the head with vegetable leaves and eggs, all of which can only be attributed to the fact that the people are very rare in food, and it happens that the urban sanitation of Feng County is relatively in place, and it is not easy to pick up a stone or brick on the ground.
Just when he was very unhappy, he suddenly received a letter, and the person who wrote the letter was Du Shuyan, a colleague who had a good relationship with Lin Xiangyu when he was having dinner in Hanlin Academy.
The content of the letter seems to be nothing special, but a colleague is comforting another colleague who took the initiative to jump into the fire pit to relax, work hard, take the initiative to improve the level of business, and dedicate his youth and strength to His Majesty and Daheng.
Feng Ge was too familiar with Du Shuyan, this man who always seemed to have a gentle smile would never write such a meaningless letter for no reason, he was a person who had been strictly planned and arranged to even visit Yunxiang Building.
"What exactly does his letter say?" Feng Ge asked.
Lin Xiangyu thought for a while: "He asked me to take a good look at the topography of Feng County, saying that the east is mountainous, and the Gobi is connected to the west. In addition, I was asked to carefully record the income and taxes of the people of Feng County, as well as the amount of all the imperial court grants received. ”
Du Shuyan's father is Du Feiyang, the head of the household department who is in charge of the allocation of wealth in the treasury of Daheng State.
Hearing Du Shuyan's request, Feng Ge lowered his eyelids slightly, and his mind was spinning rapidly, could it be that Du Shuyan discovered that King Lu had the truth of accumulating wealth, so he asked Lin Xiangyu to collect information?
This old classmate, in the position of Hanlin, cares more than her, the prince, maybe to share his father's worries?
Thinking of this, Feng Ge silently wrote down in his heart that after he ascended the throne in the future, he must give this old classmate a seat, let him give full play to his talents, and it would be a waste to stay in the Hanlin Academy.
After receiving the letter, Lin Xiangyu investigated the matter mentioned by Du Shuyan "with the rigor and seriousness of an engineering student", and found that thirty percent of the taxes paid by the people of Feng County were additionally levied, and they would only complain that the imperial court was too burdened, but they didn't know that it was not what they should give at all.
Just after Lin Xiangyu began to investigate, the chief manager of the King of Law's Mansion found him and said a big word about loyalty to the monarch and the country, Lin Xiangyu still didn't understand, and finally the prince himself came forward and told him that King Law, as the younger brother of the current saint, has to do better than others, so it is necessary to pay more, not to mention taking it from the people, using it for the people, not far away is the border, and the soldiers in the city are protecting the people with their lives, so the people are not disgusted to pay more taxes.
"Then, does Du Shuyan know that the people of Feng County are overtaxed?"
Lin Xiangyu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I even released three carrier pigeons, but he didn't receive them." ”
Then, bloody pig heads and dead rats often appeared in his yard, which scared away a handful of servants, and only a few well-informed spicy women such as Aunt Liu and Aunt Lin stayed, and of course, they also took the opportunity to ask for a salary increase.
No matter how stupid Lin Xiangyu is, he thinks that these terrible things are related to his own investigation, but he is not afraid of these, the education he received when he was a child is martial arts and death warfare, and the death of literature is a shame in history.
Just when he found the corpses of the three carrier pigeons that he had sent out by himself, neatly hanging at the door, he had not slept well all night, and he turned over and over on the bed, and the sturdy bed collapsed, so he discovered the secret passage under the bed.
He went out of the city directly from the secret passage, disguised himself into Beijing, and gave the collected information to Du Shuyan, Du Shuyan also knew his situation, and asked him not to investigate it again, and put this matter on hold first, and not to conflict with the people in the palace again.
At that time, it happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Lin Xiangyu sent a scroll of his own painting in order to show favor to the Liwang Mansion, and then this scroll appeared in the garbage basket at the back door of the Luwangfu.
"Those three dolls, could they be made by someone from the Law Palace?" Lin Xiangyu looked at Feng Ge.
Feng Ge didn't quite understand either, this kind of witchcraft was supernatural, but in fact it was nonsense, and it was useless except for causing trouble to the person who released the doll.
"If you lose it, you lose it, anyway, the most important thing in it has been taken out. Feng Ge smiled, she already had a countermeasure in her heart.
When listening to things, her attention was distracted, and her stomach didn't hurt so much, but now that things were clear, the pain and swelling in her lower abdomen came again, and she waved her hand to order Lin Xiangyu to go out, indicating that she wanted to rest for a while.
After Lin Xiangyu went out, he found that Guan Linsen had also come out, and he was a little surprised: "Shouldn't the secret guard hide in the dark to protect her?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this, what happened to her, Your Highness?" Guan Linsen's eyebrows were full of anxiety, and Lin Xiangyu's face showed a thoughtful expression: "Hey, don't you know?"
"I don't know. ”
"Come on, come on, I'll tell you, it's like this......"
An innocent teenager was taken by an adult man to open the door to a new world.
While the men were seriously studying how to become qualified female friends, Feng Ge's mind was still swirling with what he had just heard.
The witch curse is a serious crime for today's saints, princes, and uncles, which is a serious crime that is full of beheading.
If those three human skin dolls were sent to Lin Xiangyu by someone from the Law King's Mansion, it means that Lin Xiangyu must have done something recently that touched their interests, so he wanted to use such a vicious method.
If you plant a stolen stolen goods, then you will definitely be caught deliberately, and when the thief is picked up, shake out the three notes, and then the thief will confess again, saying that the three dolls were stolen from Lin Xiangyu, so ......
Wrong...... Feng Ge had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
The eight characters of the birth date on the three slips of paper are real, and the royal birthday eight characters are not announced to the world, so if the person who planted the false accusation appears and finds the three notes in public, it means that there are people within the royal family who colluded to commit the crime.
It turned out that this was a plan to kill two birds with one stone, not only Lin Xiangyu, but also a member of the royal family would follow and finish playing together.
If the people of this royal family finish playing, who will benefit?
Could it be the King of Law himself? He wrote down his birthday, and who did he want to kill if he played so big?
Feng Ge suddenly felt that his head was so heavy, and he worked hard all day, and finally under the double torture of dizziness and stomach pain, his physical strength was exhausted, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Sleeping until the middle of the night, Feng Ge suddenly woke up, the pain in her lower abdomen was gone, the whole person was much more relaxed, she had been in bed for a whole day and a night, her back was very sore, she got up in her clothes, and was ready to go out for a walk.
In the quiet night, only the study was still lit, Feng Ge approached quietly, the window was open, and she saw a half-roll map spread out on the table in front of Lin Xiangyu, which was a topographic map drawn by him by personally going to the field to investigate, the content is so detailed that it can be used for military purposes.
He seemed to have finished today's task, and shook the brush in his hand in the water bowl a few times, his eyes just stared at the brush, without blinking, not knowing what he was thinking so distractedly.
The face that usually always has a helpless, innocent, and pitiful expression, at this time, under the soft candlelight, looks quite a humble gentleman, warm as jade, worthy of being born in Hanlin, and Du Shuyan's temperament is quite similar.
After a long time, I heard him let out a long sigh, rolled up the map, put it away, blew out the candle and prepared to go back to sleep.
When he went out and bumped into Feng Ge, he was like seeing a ghost, and the whole person suddenly retreated more than a dozen steps, until he was attached to the wall, and the gentleman's appearance that had just been established in Feng Ge's heart was as gentle as jade.
"Why are you so nervous, what have you done to be unsuccessful?" Feng Ge said with a smile.
When Lin Xiangyu heard her speak, he was greatly relieved: "Last time, in the middle of the night...... Forget it, don't talk about it, it scares me to death. Fortunately, your dark guard brother rescued me, and that moment just now reminded me of the events of that day, sorry, sorry, I was abrupt. ”
These few words reminded Feng Ge of the night when she first came to the county office, she seemed to have fallen into evil somehow, and she had no memory at all, and the last impression was just that she was entangled in a man's body, I thought it was Lin Xiangyu, could it be ...... Is it Guan Linsen?
Oh no...... What did she do to Guan Linsen......
Although I'm embarrassed, as a prince, I have to take responsibility for what I do.
She returned to the room and called out Guan Linsen: "What did I do to you that night?"
Although he didn't want to mention it, as a secret guard, he couldn't hide anything from the main family, Guan Linsen described Feng Ge's actions in detail.
The next big monument destroyer in the main hall pressed Lin Zhixian against the wall, and then a flying swallow volleyed in the air, jumped on the stone, stared at Lin Zhixian, and a small golden wire wrapped his hand close to him. ”
After the subordinates brought His Royal Highness back to the room, His Royal Highness also used a big trick to destroy the monument to hold down his subordinates, and his subordinates lit the three major acupoints of His Royal Highness's Jizhong, Shenji, and Shoulder Well, and His Highness's legs clamped his subordinates' waists with the momentum of a double dragon column, and then, it was another trick of pearl inverted curtains, and his subordinates were pulled down on the bed. ”
Feng Ge was dizzy by this Chase Kung Fu move, and it wasn't as obscene as he imagined, ...... Isn't this just a few tricks? Hey, when will you be able to do kung fu?
Why don't you ask Lin Xiangyu the truth about that day?
Forget it, an engineering student is limited in what he can say.
"Hmm...... Anyway, if I do what happened to you that day, it's okay, you tell me and I'll be responsible. Feng Ge lay back on the bed, quickly finished this sentence, covered his head with the quilt, and escaped.
For a long time, no one spoke, the candlelight outside the quilt was blown out, and the people standing in the room disappeared silently, leaving only the clear light of the full moon, through the window lattice, sprinkled with hoarfrost all over the room.
When she woke up again, it was already dawn, but Feng Ge found that there was a warm, soft thing in her arms, and when she looked down, she was startled, Huzi didn't know when she ran to the bed, and a pair of dark eyes were looking at her.
Seeing that she was awake, Huzi stretched out his tongue and licked her face heavily, wagging his tail excitedly, with a look of "praise me, praise me, praise me".
Feng Ge slapped the bed board and shouted: "Bold puppy, dare to climb the bed secretly!"
Huzi jumped out of bed, squatted on the ground obediently, and sat up straight in a serious manner - listening to the training.
Feng Ge pointed at it: "What do you want to climb into the lonely phoenix bed without getting the summoning order?" I thought you were different from those bewitching sluts outside, but I didn't expect that you were also a person who would do anything to win glory and favor, and was willing to be cheap." Lone will punish you for not eating meat for three months!"
Huzi blinked his eyes, raised his head to the sky, and screamed a few times, that appearance was really similar to the lone wolf Xiaoyue.
Feng Ge's face, which was trying hard just now, suddenly collapsed, and he couldn't help laughing: "When you grow up a few years older, you can scream like this twice, it's still a bit imposing, but now it's like a coquette." ”
Seeing her laughing, Huzi jumped up again, shrunk in her arms, and made a "woo" sound, which is really coquettish.
"Good, good, obedient, no punishment, no punishment. Feng Ge touched its head and patted it: "Go ahead." ”
At this time, the smell of food wafted out of the kitchen again, and the tiger opened the door latch with his paws, pushed the door open again, and ran out with a puff of smoke, heading towards the place of dreams.
Feng Ge looked at its distant figure, and suddenly frowned: "Guan Linsen!"
"In. Guan Linsen's half-kneeling figure appeared in the middle of the room.
"You opened the door to it in the middle of the night!"
Seeing Huzi dial the latch, she remembered that before going to bed yesterday, she put the latch herself, no matter how powerful the dog was, it was impossible to open the door from the outside.
Guan Linsen bowed his head: "Yes." ”
Feng Ge's face became even colder: "You are responsible for the security of Lone, but you opened the door when Lone was asleep and didn't know it!
Guan Linsen pursed his lips, although he was kind and felt that Feng Ge and Huzi were already so close, Lin Xiangyu also said that girls in this period wanted to hold a hot and soft thing, so he thought of letting Huzi come in and warm her up.
Feng Ge looked at him angrily, thinking hatefully: "Why don't you explain, you will lower your head! Huzi will be coquettish! Can't you even make me happy!"
Guan Linsen didn't know that her heart turned so many times, so she only said: "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish His Highness." ”
This Feng Ge was even more angry: "Punish you for three months and not be allowed to eat meat!"
As soon as the words came out, Guan Linsen was stunned, Feng Ge couldn't help but cover his mouth, just now he said that Huzi was too smooth......
"Look at what! Huzi will beg for mercy, I won't punish it! Since you don't punish it, if you say it alone, you have to find someone to implement it, it's not you, who else can it be, is it the door latch?"
Feng Ge's right hand tightly pinched the corner of the quilt, and he had already said it so bluntly, "The tiger will beg for mercy, I won't punish it", you can also say a few words to listen!
As a result, Guan Linsen just bowed down: "Subordinates receive punishment." ”
Only...... And it was gone!!
What is this?
Feng Ge was annoyed and smashed the pillow on the place where he was hiding.
