Chapter 146: Investigation
"Dad!" Lin Yuqi's voice came from outside, and as soon as the words fell, Lin Yuqi pushed the door of the study and rushed in, followed by a little girl who was a little helpless because he didn't stop his reckless young lady. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two staff members looked at the eldest lady who rushed in stunned, glanced at each other, got up and stepped back.
Lin Cheng looked at Lin Yuqi, who was running with a ruddy face, and frowned: "How many times has your mother told you? A woman's demeanor is the most important, what about your demeanor?"
Lin Yuqi stuck out her tongue, and then said to Lin Chengjiao: "I know, I know, I will pay attention next time." I'm here to see my dad for something. ”
Lin Cheng listened to Lin Yuqi's coquettish tone of admitting his mistake, half of his anger disappeared, and said, "Say, come to me for something." Could it be that you did something wrong, your mother trained you to come to me to plead. ”
"No, where am I as uneasy as my father said. Lin Yuqi walked next to Lin Cheng, took Lin Cheng's arm and sat down, and then said, "I want to ask if my father knows about Xia Hanpei's cousin?"
"Xia Hanpei, her cousin?" Lin Cheng looked at Lin Yuqi suspiciously.
was stunned for a while, and then realized that Xia Hanpei that Lin Yuqi said was the daughter of Xia Chengwen, the left attendant of the Ministry of War. His brows suddenly furrowed: "Why are you asking this?"
"When I went to enjoy the peach blossoms today, I listened to what others said. Lin Yuqi looked at Lin Cheng and said, not noticing Lin Cheng's strange face at all: "It was said that he destroyed a yellow flower girl in the north of the city, is this true?"
Lin Cheng didn't speak, just looked at Lin Yuqi and said, "Who told you this?"
"I just listened to others when I was appreciating the peach blossoms, I just said it. Dad, let me ask you, is this true?" Lin Yuqi said and leaned in the direction of Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng turned his head: "Children, don't care about these things. ”
"Why don't you care? I'm a child, but I'm also a Southern merchant! How can I turn a deaf ear to these dirty things? Such a bad thing can happen in broad daylight, how can I, as the daughter of the Imperial Captain, not care about it? It's possible for others to cry and cry to me, but I have a royal father. "Lin Yuqi always has a set of truths when she talks to her father, and she can say it better than anyone else.
Lin Cheng was stunned when he heard this, yes, as his daughter, he knows that he is worried about the people and knows that the affairs of the world are his own responsibility, why is he still openly and secretly only seeking self-preservation? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt shameless. Then he drove the noisy Lin Yuqi out and meditated in the study alone for a day.
The good times of spring and equinox always pass quickly, and the begonias in the yard bloom and fail.
In July, Zheng Shaoqing of Dali Temple was dismissed and investigated for corruption and bribery, and was imprisoned. On a hot day in August, the whole capital is hot.
Zhuo Yijia wore a light gauze dress made for her by Gao, swinging under the tree in the yard, and the wind under the tree was blowing cold.
Zhishu walked quickly from the outer courtyard to the tree, took off the orchid hairpin on his head and handed it to Zhuo Yijia.
Zhuo Yijia took the hairpin, leaned on the swing, took out the note from it, smiled at the corner of his lips after reading it, handed it to Zhihua, jumped off the swing, and walked straight to the house.
After reading the words on the note, Zhihua followed him into the house and lit a fire to burn the note.
Zhuo Yijia walked to the bookcase, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, sealed it and handed it to the Zhishu: "Find a way to pass this letter to the second master of the Zhuo family." ”
"Master, will Second Master Zhuo kill Zheng Shaoqing in advance?" Zhihua frowned as he looked at the Zhishu who left.
Zhuo Yijia shook his head: "No." ”
When the sun set on the same day, in the courtyard of the second room of Zhuofu
Zhuo Zihua took the letter handed over by the little servant, opened it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the deeper the wrinkle became, and in the end, water could drip on his gloomy face.
After reading it, he slapped the envelope on the bookcase: "Go, call the second lady over!"
"Yes!" the little guy shuddered in fright, and turned to run out.
Zhuo Zihua got up and paced back and forth in front of the table with his hands behind his back.
He Shi came over with the little maid, looked at Zhuo Zihua's appearance, and was a little surprised: "Master, what's wrong?"
When Zhuo Zihua heard this, he turned to look at He, picked up the letter paper on the table and handed it to He, and waved his hand to everyone in the room: "All go out." ”
The maids in the room retreated one after another, and when the study door was closed, Zhuo Zihua turned to He Shi and said angrily: "Look at what your father has done! How many times have I said it? Let him pay attention! He has heard it? Now it's good! If you poke this thing out, you will die!!"
He was still reading, and didn't reply to Zhuo Zihua's words, but after reading it, his brows furrowed, and he let go again, and shook the letter in front of Zhuo Zihua: "Master, what does it mean?"
Zhuo Zihua gasped angrily, stroked the hand behind his back to his chest, and forced himself to swallow the gushing evil breath: "You can't read what is written in it?"
He shook his head, looked at Zhuo Zihua's handsome face and nodded quickly: "The concubine understands, what is written here is about my father's smuggling at sea, but isn't this what the emperor secretly approved?"
Zhuo Zihua took two deep breaths and said slowly: "The emperor secretly promised that it was because of the He family's work for the emperor that this smuggling thing was done. But your father got oil and water out of it. Concealed the emperor's embezzlement of his money, do you know what the concept is?" Zhuo Zihua said, looking at the He family, he had already gritted his teeth.
"But don't we all know about this?" He Shi frowned, without the third brother and sister to help her explain, she really didn't understand what the master was thinking.
Zhuo Zihua was so angry that he fell down, and his voice roared angrily: "That's what we know! Now that it's known, we want to report it!" Zhuo Zihua said and pointed to the letter paper, and then held the temple of his head, he didn't know what kind of nerves he had before he came to talk to He. Back then, when I talked to the clouds, I was able to understand it at one point.
Zhuo Zihua sank his face, shook his head, shook out the thoughts in his head, looked at He Shi and said, "Now Shaoqing of Dali Temple has found out about this matter and threatened us to tell us about it. You talk to your father and let him figure it out. Zhuo Zihua picked the simplest and clearest meaning and told He. In the words, Zheng Shaoqing was omitted to protect him by himself.
He Shi's mouth opened wide when he heard this, what? Someone knows about this, and they want to shake it out?
"Master, what should we do then?" He Shi looked at Zhuo Zihua, and suddenly cried when he spoke.
"I just asked you to ask your father!" Zhuo Zihua's feeling of exhaustion came again.
"Ask my father, yes, yes, ask my father!" He Shi said and was about to turn around and leave, just took two steps, and suddenly looked back at Zhuo Zihua: "But my father has always listened to your arrangement, and he is not as smart as the master, so in the end he still has to ask you what to do." ”
Zhuo Zihua took a deep breath, the first time he felt stupid, but He was not so stupid, and even sensitive and annoying, Zhuo Zihua waved his hand weakly to He Shi: "Go out, go out, I'll think about it myself." There was helplessness and boredom in the words.
