Chapter 196: Asking for help

Lin Peiran heard Ni Qingru's thin choked voice, and was about to turn around and ask her what happened, but heard Ni Qingru say softly, "I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry..., I misunderstood you..., I'm sorry..."Ni Qingru apologized while crying, the pitiful crying made Lin Peiran no longer insist on pretending to sleep, he got up and called softly, "Qingru..."

Before Lin Peiran could say anything, Ni Qingru hugged Lin Peiran, tears welling up. Although Lin Peiran didn't know what was going on, he saw that Ni Qingru was like this, and his heart twitched one after another.www.biquge.info He gently patted Ni Qingru's back, wanting to give her some comfort.

After a while, Ni Qingru calmed down, she left Lin Peiran's arms, looking at her tear-soaked clothes, her face was a little hot. Ni Qingru was a little embarrassed and said, "Your clothes are wet..."

Lin Peiran smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, just change your clothes."

Ni Qingru lowered his head and was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "I saw Zhou Jiaqi"

Lin Peiran was stunned for a moment, and then smiled forcefully, now he is no longer the eldest young master of the Lin family in Luyang, he is now just a lost dog who is hunted down and killed at any time. And Zhou Jiaqi has become the head of the Zhou family, and now that they are compared together, a fool knows who to follow, and Ni Qingru hates him like this...

"And, I overheard something. The Lin family was framed because he and the county lord joined forces to do it, the purpose was to annex the Lin family, and he was also involved in the assassination of the Lin family" Ni Qingru told Lin Peiran what he had overheard without reservation, and that serious expression made Lin Peiran stunned.

"I thought that the mountains and rivers were full of doubts, and I couldn't think of another village" Lin Peiran thought that Ni Qingru met Zhou Jiaqi and wanted to rekindle the old relationship, but he didn't expect to be seen through the truth, such a divine turn made Lin Peiran stunned.

Ni Qingru saw that Lin Peiran was stunned, thinking that he was surprised by the news, and continued without thinking too much, "After he and the county lord joined forces to assassinate the Lin family, he was afraid that the matter would be broken, so he planned to release the news, saying that they would interrogate the Lin family overnight, and they were already planning to find some death row prisoners to replace the Lin family at noon tomorrow, so that there would be no proof of death if they were exposed in the future." What are we going to do? ”

Lin Peiran lowered his head and frowned thinking about countermeasures.

"Maybe..., maybe we can go to Ran Gongzi!" Ni Qingru said

"Ran Min?" Lin Peiran was a little puzzled as to why Ni Qingru suddenly said his name.

"Yes, I just learned today that Gongzi Ran is the county lord here..., no, it should be temporary, his true identity is Xiuchenghou" Ni Qingru said

Lin Peiran couldn't calm down at this time, and said in surprise, "Cultivation is waiting?!" Shi Min is waiting for cultivation? ”

Ni Qingru nodded and replied, "Yes, we may be able to ask him for help, he is an upright person, and this matter is a big case involving the imperial court, he will definitely not sit idly by."

Lin Peiran fell into thought, and after a while, he refused, "No, Qingru, you don't know how to look at people." Shi Min saved us just to test whether we were useful, or if we were not dangerous. It's no secret that he's indifferent, he only cares about what he cares about, and you think, he's been here these days, except the day I woke up, and he's asked questions about what seems to care about us but it's actually some temptation, when did he care about our lives or deaths, and he hasn't told us who he really is."

Ni Qingru was silent for a moment, and said, "That's just indifference, he is a cultivator, this matter is related to the imperial court, how can he ignore it." Even if he hadn't favored us, he wouldn't have framed us."

"Qingru, there are some things you won't know. Now the court has become an ant on a hot pot, the emperor has not been in the court for a long time, and everyone is rumoring that the emperor's time is running out, and they are speculating about the next emperor. These things are also what I heard my father say, Xiu Chenghou is the grandson of the emperor, and he has always been favored by the emperor, he will inevitably be involved in the war for the throne. I don't know why he is still stranded in Luoyang, but he will never move the county officials in Luyang for us now," Lin Peiran said firmly

"Why, isn't Lord Hou as powerful as those county officials?" Ni Qingru was puzzled

"No, it's not a big deal for the county officials, Shi Min can put them to death with just one sentence, but now, it's Lu Yang. Lu Yang's relationship is complicated, and just a slight change in one person will affect the entire chessboard. Moreover, we don't know if Lu Yang has been controlled by any adult in the court, Shi Min is not in the palace now, and it is easy to kill him, so he can only keep a low profile now" Lin Peiran explained

"Before the chaos in Luoyang, Ran Min may have had to expose his identity in order to appease the people, so now he asks everyone to call him Ran Gongzi instead of Shi Gongzi. As a result, we don't know the situation, he may also be in crisis now, no matter how he thinks, he won't help us" Lin Peiran felt helpless about this truth, but he could only accept it, because he couldn't put all his wealth on Ran Min, he couldn't afford to lose.

Ni Qingru listened to Lin Peiran's tirade, and knew how much she knew in her heart, but now she was desperate, Ran Min was the only lifesaver she could think of, she was unwilling to give up, and continued, "Although I don't understand your national affairs, I can also understand some of them, and now there is chaos in the court, and Shi Min needs help, so it is difficult to move an inch." In that case, we can make a deal with him"

"Deal?" Lin Peiran looked at Ni Qingru suspiciously, full of puzzlement.

"The Lin family has a big business, as long as this matter is clarified, the Lin family can come back, this is our bargaining chip. Use the financial resources of the Lin family to support Shi Min to gain a firm foothold in the court. Wouldn't that be a win-win? Ni Qingru said what she thought, but she felt that she was a woman and didn't understand anything, so she could only discuss it with Lin Peiran.

Lin Peiran listened to Ni Qingru's words, looked at her in a daze, and didn't speak for a long time.

Ni Qingru was looked at like this by Lin Peiran, and lowered his head a little embarrassedly, thinking that he had said something wrong. After thinking for a while, she felt that there was a big hole in her words, and hurriedly said, "If you are afraid that the Lin family will be involved in the palace, then forget it, I have a bad idea"

"No," Lin Peiran said, "This is a good idea, who can guess what will happen in the future?" If we don't even have our lives, what are we afraid of being drawn into the palace war in the future? So, in the current situation, this method is indeed very likely to achieve a win-win result..., thank you, Qingru"

Ni Qingru smiled and said, "We are husband and wife, do you want to say thank you?" ”

Lin Peiran was stunned by Ni Qingru's words.

Ni Qingru was stunned when he saw Lin Peiran, and urged, "We have to hurry up, Zhou Jiaqi is in Luoyang now, and he is only a few rooms away from us, we must be careful."

"Well, let's go..."......
