Chapter 267
Let's say that Huaizhen went back to the Tang Mansion first, and hurriedly changed his clothes, and then went to the palace with the inner servants.
The car of the Tang Mansion passed through the street, and there happened to be a team of patrolling soldiers passing by, and there was one person in front of him, still wearing a dark blue unicorn robe, and his eyes were staring indifferently on the horse, and he watched the vehicle disappear into the street before he hit the horse again.
When he was walking for a short time, a hand came and knelt down and said, "Tell Lord Ling, I already know where the second master is." β
Ling Jingshen immediately called a deputy and led the team to patrol the city, but he rode along the street.
After a short time, he had left the official street, and when he arrived at the downtown area, Ling Jingshen turned over his horse and led the horse for a while, and sure enough, he saw a green soft sedan stopped in front of him.
Ling Jingshen led the horse to the front, turned his head and glanced into the shop, and through the mahogany shelves, he vaguely saw that there were people inside.
At the middle of the day, the young man inside greeted him, and at a glance he saw Ling Jingshen's official robe, and the words of greeting stopped in his throat, and he said with a stiff smile: "Official, you ......"
Ling Jingshen glanced at him and asked lightly, "Little Ling Ma Ke is here?"
It was obviously a summer day, and he swept it away, but it made people feel cold all over his body, and the young man stumbled and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes...... I'm eating wine with our young boss inside. β
When Ling Jingshen heard this, he smiled faintly, and when he threw the reins of the horse to the job, he walked into the door by himself.
The shopkeeper inside had already seen the color of his clothes, and he also had goosebumps, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly turned out and greeted him.
Ling Jingshen didn't pay attention to it, turned around the shelves by himself, and sure enough, he saw a table behind him, Zhang Zhen and Ling Jue were sitting at both ends, not knowing what they were talking about, and they both smiled slightly.
Ling Jingshen saw Ling Jue with a smile on his face, and he smiled gently.
At this time, Zhang Zhen also realized that it was him, and hurriedly jumped up to salute, and said, "Lord Ling." β
Ling Jue raised his eyes to see his brother, but his face was not shocked, and he only asked, "Why did my brother come?"
Ling Jingshen waved his hand, and the shopkeeper and the young man hurriedly retreated quietly, wiping each other in a cold sweat, only then did they know that this master was the brother of Xiao Ling's horse.
Ling Jingshen also sat down, his voice was gentle, and said, "You haven't been back to the house for a few days, and you remember it at home, and my wife is also very worried, and she has urged me several times." β
Ling Jue drooped his eyelids and said, "I'm very busy, so I'll go back naturally when I'm free." β
Ling Jingshen smiled and shook his head: Since Ling Jue has leisure to eat and drink here, he naturally doesn't want to go back to his house when he says this. However, Ling Jingshen didn't say anything, because he lowered his eyes and looked at a few side dishes on the table, and saw that it was not exquisite, it was rare that Ling Jue was not picky, so he nodded.
Zhang Zhen was still a little afraid to sit down, and stood with her hands down. Ling Jue frowned and said: "Great ingot, you sit by yourself, if you don't sit, I will just drive him away, so as not to let him spoil the scenery here." β
Ling Jingshen smiled, and Zhang Zhen was busy sitting down.
Ling Jingshen saw that Zhang Zhen was still a little cramped, but Ling Jue was silent and silent, so he deliberately asked, "What are you talking about just now, it seems to be very interesting." β
Zhang Zhen opened his mouth, but Ling Jue had already interrupted: "I didn't say anything, just some ordinary gossip." β
When Zhang Zhen heard this, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word, she looked at Ling Jue for a while, and peeked at Ling Jingshen for a while, and she didn't know what to do.
Ling Jingshen didn't care, and said, "That's fine, it's just that you can't drink alcohol, how can you actually eat wine?"
Ling Jue said: "I didn't eat it, it was just to cheer up." After answering two sentences, he suddenly became a little impatient, then turned his head to look at Ling Jingshen and said, "Why are you only rambling here? Aren't you supposed to be on an errand now? β
When Zhang Zhen heard this tone, she became more and more angry and didn't dare to make a sound.
Ling Jingshen still smiled slightly, and said, "I'm just worried about you, and I'm just going to see you for my wife and princess...... Yes, even if you don't care about anything else, what about Ling Xiao? He can shout all day long...... said that he hadn't seen his second uncle for a few days. β
When Ling Jue heard this, he frowned, and because he lowered his head, his shoulders drooped slightly, which was a sigh.
Ling Jingshen saw that the words had been spoken, so he didn't bother anymore, and got up and said, "Okay, I'll leave, you only remember my words......"
Ling Jue still lowered his head before asking, "How are Xiao'er okay these two days?"
Depth of Field picked his lips: "It's not a big deal, it's just that because of naughtiness, I broke my head again." β
Ling Jue stood up suddenly: "What did you say?"
Jing Shen was about to appease him that he was fine, but as soon as his eyes moved, he saw Ling Jue's right hand, and suddenly shook violently, and said, "Your hand is ......"
Ling Jue was in a hurry, so he forgot to cover up, and when he wanted to hide, it was too late.
Ling Jingshen grabbed his wrist like lightning, raised it and looked at it in front of him, then gritted his teeth and said, "How did you get it?"
Ling Jue opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer, and when he was about to withdraw his hand, he held it tightly again. At this moment, Ling Jingshen raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Zhen: "It's you?"
Zhang Zhen was glanced at by the blade's bloodthirsty eyes, and in an instant, his soul flew away, where could he still make a sound.
Instead, Ling Jue shouted: "What are you anxious about, I injured myself! Don't talk nonsense!"
Ling Jingshen looked at Ling Jue again and said, "How did you get it like this?"
Ling frowned impatiently: "No, it's just a previous injury." Yes......" Since he knew Ling Jingshen's temper, he would not give up until he was detailed, so he said: "It's because I accidentally fell into the brazier with something important, and I was in a hurry to turn it out, so I was injured." β
Ling Jingshen listened to his explanation, and then slowly let go, seeing that the injury was unbearable, and it was really painful, so he said with hatred and anger: "You are alone outside, and the bottom person is thick-handed, something is going to happen after all, not to mention that you haven't returned home for a few days, and outsiders know about it, and it's not like words, so it's just a good time to go back today, can you hear it?"
Ling Jue was silent for a while, and finally said, "I know, I'll go back." β
Ling Jingshen nodded and asked again, "This hurts ...... Can you get drugged?"
When Ling Jue heard him mention the medicine, he smiled slightly and said, "I bring my own medicine, don't worry." β
Ling Jingshen let out a long sigh, and had a few more words of advice, and in front of Zhang Zhen, knowing that Ling Jue would not like it, he just looked at him and said, "I'll go home later, and tell Xiao'er that you will go back to see him, don't let Xiao'er down." β
Ling Jue simply turned his head away, just ignoring it. Ling Jingshen had no choice but to give up, finally turned around and went out of the door.
After Ling Jingshen went, Zhang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: "Brother Xiaojue, Brother Ling is really good...... I'm so scared of people. β
Ling Jue saw that his face was like earth, and couldn't help laughing: "Nonsense, look at your little guts, you are still called a big ingot." β
Zhang Zhen laughed wryly, and the two of them sat down again, Zhang Zhen looked at his hand, and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of amazing thing is it, if it is burned, it will be burned, and it is worth hurting like this?" Blame Brother Daoling for being unhappy, I feel distressed when I look at it. β
Ling Jue spat and said, "Why bother, man's husband, what's the point of a little injury, and it's worth treating one or two of you like this? Don't talk about anything else, tell me the previous thing." β
Zhang Zhen took a sip of wine to suppress her shock, and then smiled and said, "Yes, why did a person come to me today, did he just want to hear what I said about Taizhou?"
Ling Jue glanced at him and said, "You just think I'm idle and bored, can you come and listen to your story......?" Sister Huaizhen, she went back with Lord Tang and them later?"
At the mention of Huaizhen, Zhang Zhen became excited: "Isn't it? The fact that she escaped from the hands of the abductor was also told to me in detail by my mother later, and I was also convinced...... Later, Lord Tang and Lord Lin lived in the county office, and at that time we didn't know that the two of them were big officials, and we thought they were businessmen...... Later, Sister Huaizhen's birthday ......"
Zhang Zhenyin also likes this memory, not to mention that it is related to Huaizhen, it is the innocent time when there are no guesses, and there are some legends, so he immediately danced with his eyebrows and continued to talk again.
Ling Jue listened slowly for a long time, then stretched out his left hand, held the wine glass, and slowly ate two bites, but there was a bit of gloom in his eyes.
Not to mention that Zhang Zhen told Ling Jue about the affairs of Taizhou 1510, only that Ling Jingshen went out, led the horse and walked slowly, and finally got out of the noisy mayor street, and went to the official mansion area, and gradually passed the Ministry of Rites, Ling Jingshen turned his head and looked at it a few times, and walked forward.
Halfway through this, an attendant suddenly came and said, "Lord Ling is here, so that the villain is easy to find, and Guo Shilang from the household department is invited." β
Ling Jingshen was slightly surprised, his face was still expressionless, so he went with the man, but instead of going to the house, he just stopped next to a secluded street and alley, but saw Guo Jianyi already waiting by the wall.
Ling Jingshen walked up to him, and the two saluted each other, and Ling Jingshen asked, "Why is Guo Shilang looking for me?"
Guo Jianyi said: "Last time, Lord Ling was responsible for tracking down the shadowless killer, I don't know if there is a clue?"
When Ling Jingshen heard this, he smiled slightly bitterly, shook his head and said, "I have no clue." β
Seeing this, Guo Jianyi was silent.
ββIt turned out that when he was in the Ying Gongfu before, Guo Jianyi said that most of the truth was told to Huaizhen, but there was still one thing that he did not tell him.
It's just that this incident is a bit terrifying, first, for fear of frightening Huaizhen, and second, it will inevitably cause her to think crankily.
Previously, Guo Jianyi received the letter from Ling Jue, and immediately wanted to think of a way to dredge it, and calmly recalled the matter from beginning to end, and was shocked......
It turned out that in the first two months, there were several bloody cases in the Jingnai connection, and the lives of several officials were injured.
Ling Jingshen was busy day and night for a while, and because of his stubbornness, he couldn't be brought to justice, and all officials, including Ling Jingshen, were reprimanded.
At this moment, Guo Jianyi vaguely remembered: Among the officials who died, there happened to be a director of the Criminal Department who was responsible for dealing with Guo Jizu's matter back then.
Originally, Guo Jianyi immediately wanted to find this person because he heard about the impeachment of the official, so he confessed to him in a pair to ensure that nothing went wrong...... But Wu Zi is a little reluctant to believe it, but I'm afraid that it is the same name and surname.
So Guo Jianyi went to the Criminal Department in person, and sure enough, it happened to be the person who handled it back then.
Guo Jianyi hurriedly searched for the past files, and those files that he wanted to involve Guo Jizu's case were all gone.
In this way, there is no proof of death.
Guo Jianyi only felt that things were too strange, so he stood still, and the next day in the court, he knew that only Ying Lanfeng was the official who wanted to impeach.
At this point, although Guo Jianyi was shocked, he had a faint guess in his heart: the killing of the official of the Criminal Department was not necessarily related to Ying Lanfeng's impeachment.
So in front of Huai Zhen, he just didn't say anything.
Now Ling Jingshen saw him suddenly asking, so he said, "What's the matter, why did Lord Guo pay attention to this?"
Guo Jianyi said: "Lord Ling has checked it...... Are the officials who were killed involved with each other?"
Ling Jingshen said: "As an official of the same dynasty, there are naturally contacts, but the contacts are not secret, and I can't find any effective clues." β
Guo Jianyi asked, "Could it be that you have offended someone?"
Ling Jingshen thought for a while and smiled: "Unless they offend some terrible person together, they will kill people." However, according to the investigation of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department......"
When Ling Jingshen said this, a trace of discoloration flashed across his face, and because he looked at Guo Jianyi, he said in a low voice with a smile: "It's inconvenient for me to say this, but sooner or later, you should know, just say it: these people have one thing in common, that is, when the abolished prince was still in power...... They are all members of the party who abolished the prince. β
Guo Jianyi swallowed his saliva for no reason, his throat tightened, and he met Ling's eyes as deep as ink for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Lord Ling, for not avoiding telling you." β
Ling Jingshen said: "It's just a trivial matter, don't mind. β
After all, this place is not a place to speak, not to mention that everything that has to be said has been obtained, and it is useless to say that it is useless, so the two of them salute each other and leave.
At dusk, Ling Jingshen returned home early, but saw that Ling Jue did not come back, although Ling Jingshen had threatened Ling Xiao in front of Ling Jue, but when he saw Ling Xiao, he did not mention that Ling Jue wanted to come back, because he was afraid that Ling Jue's temperament would be strong, and he was worried that he would change his mind again, wouldn't it make Ling Xiao cry in vain?
Who knew that he hugged Ling Xiao and teased him for a while, and said outside: "The second master is back." β
Ling Jingshen was overjoyed when he heard this, Ling Xiao in his arms heard it, and he was already in a hurry, his little hands struggled, his body twisted wildly, and he only kept calling "Second Uncle" in his mouth.
Ling Jingshen hurriedly put him on the ground, Ling Xiao ran out, but when he ran to the door, his foot was tripped by the threshold, and he was suddenly planted out!
Ling Jingshen was startled, so that Ling Jue flashed out at the door, and hurriedly hugged Ling Xiao, frightened.
Ling Jingshen also walked up to him, eager to hit him a few times, so he scolded: "Bastard! I fell here last time, how can I not have a long memory?"
Ling Jue hugged Ling Xiao, looked down carefully, and sure enough, he saw a wound on his forehead, which had not yet healed, Ling Jue was already distressed, so he said to Ling Jingshen and said: "Why do you bother to talk about him, what does his child know, you are his father, you should look at him very well!"
As soon as Ling Jingshen was drunk by him, he became speechless.
It happened that Erlin ** came out when he heard the movement, nodded with a smile when he saw this, and said: "Amitabha, you deserve it, only Xiao Jue can talk about him, and he doesn't dare to talk back, if I say a word, he only said that I protect Xiao'er and want to spoil him." β
Ling Jingshen saw that Lin ** counted himself, so he smiled and said nothing.
** looked at Ling Jue again, and sighed: "I'm back...... I've only been out for a few days, so it's very worrying?"
Ling Jingshen listened, and suddenly thought of Ling Jue's injured hand, and hurriedly looked at it, only to see that he had quietly half-hidden his right hand at his side again, but he was holding Ling Xiao with his left hand.
Ling Jingshen sighed silently, and Ling Jue had already said, "I'm just busy lately, sister-in-law doesn't have to worry." β
** nodded and said: "No matter how busy you are, you have to go back to the house, what is it to sleep outside at night......? I went to the palace again this morning, and I haven't come back yet...... I'm afraid I'm worried that you're out there. β
Ling never spoke, just lowered his head to tease Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao hadn't seen him for a long time, so he smiled and was very happy.
Seeing this, I knew that he didn't want to mention it, so it was okay.
When Ling Jingshen urged Ling Jue to see his wife again, Ling Jue said, "I've just seen it." "Depth of field is also speechless.
After half an hour, Princess Qingyan returned to the palace from the palace, and everyone had already eaten at this moment, ** I thought that Qingyan would come back this time, but I was afraid that she would not eat in the palace, because she brought a girl, and came to ask in person.
When I arrived outside the room, I saw that the maids and the palace people were standing at the door, standing with their hands down.
**Pulled the little girl over, and learned that Princess Qingyan and Ling Jue were in the house at the moment, but they didn't ask anyone to wait inside......** I suspected that the little couple might have any inconvenience, so they didn't dare to disturb without permission, so they told the girl: "Later, the princess will pass on, you should inquire carefully, and ask the princess if he wants to pass dinner." β
The girl agreed, and was about to leave, when she suddenly heard a cry inside, and said, "I just said it, so what?
**Hearing the voice of Princess Qingyan, it was very unusual, and I couldn't help but be surprised, but I heard Ling Jue faintly angry, and said, "You...... You're too shameless!"
Qingyan cried: "Am I wrong? You only said that you can't be idle these days, how can you have time to go to the Ying Gongfu? It's not ......?"
Ling Jue shouted: "Shut up!"
The palace maids looked at each other, at a loss, ** their souls were scattered, so they laughed and said: "The little two are bickering, it's just a quarrel at the head of the bed and the end of the bed......
**When I came to the inner room, I saw Princess Qingyan sitting on the edge of the bed, wiping her tears with her head down, Ling Jue standing at the table, wrinkling her eyebrows and looking coldly. ** Dry mouth, and only laughed and said, "What's the matter?
When Qingyan saw her coming, she stood up: "What else is there to say...... Why should I come back to be an eyesore, just go back to the palace!" he said, pulling his legs and wanting to leave.
**Hurriedly stopped: "I can't help it, let's talk about this time...... The palace gates are closed. β
Qingyan cried: "I'll go to the prince's mansion!"
Before he could speak, Ling Jue said coldly: "Let her goββ if you want to make trouble, just try to make a fuss!"
