Chapter 166: Exploratory Conversation
The summer afternoon is sweltering, and there are few pedestrians on the street under the scorching sun, and the occasional cry is known. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhuo Yijia handed over the post after arriving at the Lin Mansion, stood at the door and waited for a while before seeing Lin Yuqi come out of the mansion with her skirt in a hurry.
"You're here! I was about to come looking for you, but my father stopped me. As soon as Lin Yuqi saw Zhuo Yijia, she stepped forward and said.
Zhuo Yijia followed Lin Yuqi's steps and walked into the Lin Mansion, "I also told my grandmother that I knew, so I said that it was okay to come and see you." You weren't hurt yesterday, were you?"
Lin Yuqi walked next to Zhuo Yijia and shook her head, "After dragging the blessing of King Huairong's prince, I was not injured." It just really scared the hell out of me last night. ”
"Frightened? I'm scared that you still speak so neatly, and you don't look like you're frightened. Zhuo Yijia said and glanced at Lin Yuqi, and saw that she looked in good spirits, so she was relieved.
Lin Yuqi turned her head to look at Zhuo Yijia, and her voice raised slightly, "I'm really scared, so many adults, just dumbfounded by the assassin who suddenly rushed in, I'm okay, the other daughters present, look at how many of them can get out of bed today? Even Xue Rulan is still lying on the bed and hasn't come back to his senses." Saying that, Lin Yuqi sighed, it was okay to survive and be scared, those who were victimized, alas, it was really pitiful.
Zhuo Yijia turned her head to look at Lin Yuqi, who sighed, and frowned, "What happened yesterday? I didn't hear my grandmother say that I didn't know about the Xia family's water last night. ”
Lin Yuqi sighed again when she heard this, looked around, and then turned her head to Zhuo Yijia and said, "What everyone knows today is that fire, and there are actually other things before that fire." Saying that, Lin Yuqi looked around again, and mysteriously lowered her voice, "My father asked me not to talk about this matter with others, and I will tell you quietly when I get back to the house." ”
Zhuo Yijia's brows furrowed even deeper, looked at Lin Yuqi, and pulled the shawl of the skirt, "Then let's go into the house quickly." Saying that, he and Lin Yuqi quickened their pace.
In the study room of Zhuojia Jinhua Academy, the ice with a large basin did not fall down to the heat in the room.
Mrs. Zhuo flipped through the pile of folds on the table, these are the incriminating evidence that Wu Cheng is going to hand over today, most of them are the victim's handwriting. As a result, I didn't know that I only handed over two of their folds in the morning, and they were covered up by Emperor Ming Xian, and I didn't even look at them. These don't have a chance to get the Imperial Front.
"Dad, what do you mean by the emperor?" Zhuo Zihua sat next to Zhuo Shunwu and looked at the pile of folds on the table. The brow was furrowed and did not loosen.
Zhuo Shunwu sighed and shook his head, "Anyway, we can't touch that person's scales. He was really worried about the status of the Zhuo family.
"But these things are all evidence of Wu Cheng's crimes, and there is no trace of false accusation. Can't he even look at it? That's four million taels of silver, and the revenue of the state treasury for a year of collecting sea taxes is only four million taels. Zhuo Zihua said that he felt a little pressed in his heart, who didn't have the ambition to take the world as his own responsibility when he entered the office at a young age? Even if he was blinded by the influence of officialdom for many years, but now when it comes to the darkness that has nothing to do with him, it is always difficult to calm down.
"After following me for so long, you still can't see clearly. Hey, if you want to be in a high position steadily, self-cultivation, self-cultivation, and rule the country and the world, you don't need any of these. Just have to please him. Zhuo Shunwu said a little helplessly. Saying that, he thought about the Xia family again, opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't say anything, so he closed his mouth again.
Zhuo Zihua also thought about the Xia family, because it had nothing to do with the Zhuo family, and their family didn't think much about it at that time. Now that I think about it, I am very scary.
"Yes, you can't let him be disgusted. Zhuo Zihua said, looking at Zhuo Shunwu, "The Zheng family can't miss it." Uncle Zheng Tian knows too much. If he keeps us, we won't be able to live. ”
Zhuo Shunwu nodded, "He's a good official, but not a popular official." You're right, we can't live with him. Originally, I thought that it would take a lot of effort to get him out, and it would be good to meet the Xia family and destroy the door. It's a lot easier to do. ”
"What's the matter with the prince of Huairong? Now that Mingli has brought so many private soldiers, he has ruined that person's good deeds, is this going to be put on the surface to rebel?" Zhuo Zihua said that the voice behind him could not be lower.
"Nonsense! What can you make up this messily?" Zhuo Shunwu snorted Zhuo Zihua, and the study fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Zhuo Shunwu said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with the Zhuo family." We only do what needs to be done. After a pause, he added, "At least for now." By the way, I'll ask your mother to probe, Miss Lin is the daughter who survived that day to the Xia family, mainly staying next to the Duke of Rongle County, maybe something will be found. ”
"How are we going to investigate? We don't have much friendship with Deputy Governor Lin's family. Zhuo Zihua looked at Mrs. Zhuo and asked. Their Zhuo family was born as a military general, and there are few people who deal with civil officials, not to mention that they are still a captain. Usually, in order to avoid suspicion, I don't even say much.
"We don't have a relationship, the fourth child does. She is good friends with Miss Zhuo Jiayan. Zhuo Shunwu looked at Zhuo Zihua and said.
Zhuo Zihua frowned when he heard this, and only after thinking about it did he look at Zhuo Shunwu, "Didn't my father say that we don't care about the affairs of the Duke of Rongle County and the emperor, why did she still get involved?"
"Why are you confused when it comes to the fourth. I don't know what harm it is in her friendship with the daughter of the Lin family. The father of the family is the captain, who holds the folds of the imperial history and controls the mouth of the imperial history. Saying that, he glanced at Zhuo Zihua, "And she is just a concubine, and it is her blessing to be able to make friends with the eldest daughter of the official of the third grade." Besides, what sources are there to listen to, the words between the two boudoir girls are much safer than those between the elders. It's better to know more or less. On the surface, our Zhuolin family has no contact. If there is no contact, there is no need to be suspicious. ”
"But what can those stinky children know?" Zhuo Zihua was still a little dissatisfied.
"Lin Duwei doesn't raise his daughter as an ordinary daughter. I don't know how to hold an embroidery needle, but it's the way to talk about political affairs. Also into their family studies. ”
"But..."
"There's nothing you can't do. Zhuo Shunwu waved his hand impatiently at Zhuo Zihua, "If you hate your daughter, leave this matter to your mother." The mention of her makes you in a trance. ”
Zhuo Zihua's face was a little ugly when he heard this. In the end, he didn't reply.
After arranging the size of the matter, Zhuo Shunwu and Zhuo Zihua both returned to the room.
Zhuo Shunwu returned to Fanghua Taijun was still resting on the soft collapse, the ice basin in the house was hot, and the maid on the side gently played the pu fan one by one.
