Chapter 86
How did this matter involve Lin Long? Gao Zhi couldn't figure it out, and for a moment thought he had heard it wrong.
Under Gao Zhi's unkind gaze, the subordinate shrank his shoulders slightly and said, "Uncle Guo, Ye Yushi's fiancée is injured, is there anything wrong?" After a pause, "Look at the blood that scared people to death, I don't know if I can save it?" At that time, the subordinates saw that Ye Yushi's face was white, and the clothes he was wearing were almost the same color, so they could only say that this girl's life was not good. There are also rumors of horse thieves kidnapping people in the city, which makes people panic now, and I am afraid that no one will dare to go to Hanshan Temple to offer incense in the near future......"
Gao Zhi didn't listen to the next words, and his body was slightly shocked, originally when she sold the opening gift he gave her, he swore angrily that he would never pay attention to such a bad woman again. Now hearing that she was seriously injured and was likely to die, Fang felt like a piece of his heart was missing.
"Uncle Guo, Master Su is here."
As soon as Gao Zhi heard that Su Youwu was coming, he suddenly sneered at the corner of his mouth, it was all this guy who made this matter, and it didn't hurt the main owner, but it hurt the pond fish, it is estimated that Ye Zhong's family asked Lin Long to accompany him to the temple to worship, so he was unlucky to be someone else's substitute ghost.
"Let him in."
This cold command made the little guy who reported outside shocked, and it seemed that the salt patrol made Master Su ask for more blessings.
Master Su hurriedly came in, "Uncle Guo, you want to save me, now that they are holding on to life, if they confess anything, I will be in trouble." Governor Zheng, that old thief, is now eager to get me out of power......"
Gao Zhi squinted at him, "The more panicked you are, the more you have a problem, Lord Su, what you can do now is to think of something to make up for the leaks, otherwise even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, he won't be able to save you." The nose snorted slightly, "If Admiral Zuo hadn't found out early this time, I wouldn't have known that you actually colluded with his subordinates to sell illicit salt by land and water, what do you say about Lord Su?" ”
Master Su's forehead was sweating all the time, and his intentions were all quibbles in front of the facts, "Admiral Zuo, I'll explain it myself......"
"It's late, he's just afraid that he has already gone to see Ye Xuyao in person, after all, now that the emperor has handed over this case to him, Admiral Zuo still has to keep his position first no matter what, why is it your turn to explain clearly?" Gao Zhi snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
Master Su's eyebrows were furrowed, at this time, in addition to tightening the thighs of the Gao family, he had no better idea, "Uncle Guo, you can't see death without help." ”
Gao Zhi glanced at him, "How can I save you?" Originally, this case was not going to make a big fuss, but now that you are making a fuss, the emperor is only afraid that he will reorganize the military and political affairs, otherwise everyone will fill their own pockets, how can they get it? ”
Master Su is also very dissatisfied with Gao Zhi in his heart, and he talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, who doesn't know that the Gao family is hugely greedy? He became this salt patrol envoy that year, but he gave the Gao family 100,000 taels of snowflake silver for white flowers, otherwise this fat would not be in his hands.
But just think about these words in his heart, he didn't dare to say it lightly, the noble concubine is the favorite concubine of the harem, and she has two sons and a daughter, and her status is so solid that she can't be more reliable, and the holy family has always been quite strong.
"Uncle Guo, I have been friends with the Gao family for so many years, how about showing me a way out?"
Gao Zhi listened to the sound of his teeth wagging his tail and begging pitifully, his expression sank, and after a long time, he said: "Okay, I'll instruct you again, Master Su, this time it's okay, I won't clean up the mess for you if something happens again." ”
"Uncle Guo, don't worry."
Gao Zhi beckoned Su Youwu to approach, whispered a few words to him, and then raised his hand and said, "Go ahead, the mudier the water in this pool, the greater your chance of getting out." ”
Lord Su thought about it, arched his hand towards Gao Zhi, and immediately left in a hurry.
Gao Zhi stood up and looked at his back as he walked away, the corners of his mouth twitched coldly, and he said to the subordinates who appeared next to him: "Send my secret letter to everyone in the Gao family, no one is allowed to save this Su Youwu again, I want him to lose his official position and copy his family, and the whole family will be assigned to the frontier." ”
The subordinate couldn't help but shudder when he heard his ruthless words, although Uncle Guo had a lot of complaints about Su Youwu before, he was still extremely tolerant, this salt patrol is fat, the Gao family doesn't want this position to change, and the instructions of the concubine Niangniang several times mean this.
Thinking about it, eighty percent is still related to Ye Yushi's fiancée, after all, when he reported it, Uncle Guo's expression was not good, this romantic Uncle Guo seemed to be moved by true feelings this time, but it was destined that King Xiang had a dream, and the goddess was ruthless.
Gao Zhi didn't hear a response for a long time, turned his head and glanced at this subordinate sternly, and those who were incapable gave him a fuck.
"Yes, Uncle Guo." The subordinate regained his thoughts in the cold gaze and hurriedly responded.
Gao Zhi waved him down, and then instructed the little guy next to him, "Hurry up and prepare a gift, I'll use it as soon as the morning dawns." ”
He looked up at the foggy sky, no longer the bright moon of last night, and never looked forward to the dawn in his heart.
In the Suzhou Courtyard of the Ye family, Lin Long had a fever in the middle of the night, and when Aunt Green, who was keeping vigil for her, touched her forehead, she was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly woke up Lin Dong, who was asleep on the side, and asked him to go out and call someone to ask the doctor to come over overnight to diagnose the pulse.
Lin Dong hurriedly went out, but when he turned out to go out of the door, he almost bumped into someone, and the person helped him stand up, "What's wrong?" ”
Hearing this calm and slightly cold voice, Lin Dong immediately recognized who it was, and sure enough, when he looked up, he saw Ye Xuyao's enlarged face, and hurriedly took a step back, "Ye Gongzi, my sister has a fever......
As soon as Ye Xuyao heard this, his long legs immediately walked into the house, and soon turned to the back of the screen, at this time, Aunt Green was unbuttoning Lin Long's shirt to breathe, to see if the wound on his back had changed? Seeing a tall figure enveloping her, she was so frightened that her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly pulled the brocade quilt up to cover Lin Long's body, and when she saw that it was Ye Xuyao, her face was full of embarrassment.
"Ye Gongzi, why did you come in......"
Ye Xuyao interrupted her, "What's the fever?" "The doctor said that her pulse is strong, but she must take care of it at night and not have a fever, otherwise it will be quite troublesome.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he didn't shy away from picking up Lin Long, who muttered "mother's ......", his big palm lifted Lin Long's underwear, checked the wound on the back, and found nothing unusual, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
It was too late for Aunt Green to stop his transgressive behavior, and she sighed in her heart why this person didn't obey the law of etiquette. But it's hard to remind, so I have to be in a hurry.
Ye Xuyao was already shouting loudly to make a decoction, looked at the eager Aunt Green, and explained rarely, "The doctor has prescribed medicine to reduce fever, just in case of this situation." ”
Aunt Green nodded hurriedly.
"She's sweating, so let's change her into a clean dress and change her medicine." Ye Xuyao said, she didn't take care of the etiquette because she was in a hurry before, but now that her family is here, she still has to give this face anyway, and besides, he is afraid of being tempted by her body, and if he reacts, this is not embarrassing and can be relieved.
He turned around and walked out of this world, and when he breathed in the fresh air outside, he frowned and looked at the heaven and earth in the distance. He discussed the matter too late with Admiral Zuo, otherwise he would have been able to come to see her earlier, and he would not have made her fever due to sweating.
Aunt Green turned her head to look at the figure who was avoiding, she was really relieved at this moment, seeing Lin Long with a red face, and the unconscious whispering voice, her heart was sour, she was not her own mother after all.
Half picked up Lin Long and changed her medicine and clothes.
Lin Long, who was groggy, seemed to feel the heat source, leaned closer to Aunt Green, and hugged her with a slight cry, "Mother, don't ...... Throw me down ......"
Aunt Green hugged her tightly, her heart was mixed, Lin Long had always shown that she didn't need Quan's family, and deep down she was afraid that this was not the case? Quan's abandonment made her three children unusually strong, which made people feel distressed when they looked at it.
Seeing her crying in her dream, she put her arms around her and patted her arm, "Mother is here......"
Lin Long quieted down at this time, let go of the hand around her, and leaned into her arms.
The wound medicine on his back played a role, and Lin Long gradually fell asleep again.
When Ye Xuyao brought the medicine in, he happened to see Aunt Green holding Lin Long, and frowned, "Let her drink the medicine first." ”
Aunt Green took the medicine bowl: "I'll come." I looked left and right, but I didn't see Lin Dong's figure.
Ye Xuyao said: "I promised him that his eldest sister would be fine, so he was forcibly taken to the next room to rest, his face was not very good, otherwise he would fall ill at dawn." ”
Aunt Green was shocked that she had forgotten this stubble, Lin Dong himself was weak, and now that his family situation was better and he had changed his medicine, he was a little stronger, and he really couldn't stay up all night. Immediately blamed herself, she thought that she could take care of these three children, but now that she found out that Lin Long was sick, she messed up everything.
Feeling that Ye Xuyao was looking at her, she didn't care about her sadness, scooped up the decoction and fed it to Lin Long, but no matter how she fed it, the decoction still flowed down the corners of her mouth, Lin Long didn't swallow it, she tried it a few times and it was still the same, she was even more anxious, "What should I do?" Sister Long, why don't you drink some......"
In order to avoid suspicion, Ye Xuyao didn't do it himself, but seeing that this green aunt was in a hurry, her brows furrowed even tighter, seeing that she had to feed again, this was about to become torture.
"I'll do it." He spoke calmly.
Aunt Green was stunned for a moment, she really couldn't do it, so she had to bite her lower lip and give up this position to Ye Xuyao, "It's troublesome Ye Gongzi." ”
Ye Xuyao didn't say anything, stepped forward to pick up Lin Long, wrapped her hand around her and gently clamped her chin, forcing her mouth to open, quickly scooped a tablespoon of decoction into her mouth, and then closed her mouth, and with a slight effort on her jaw, her throat slid for a while, obviously drinking the decoction.
Ye Xuyao did this action smoothly, and he was not rude, Aunt Green breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, she was afraid that this person would take the opportunity to take advantage of Lin Long, after all, she had never seen it before.
Ye Xuyao naturally noticed her subtle movements, and snorted coldly, he would not take advantage of a patient so villainly, and sooner or later it would be his person, he would still take care of her reputation and would not let her reputation be damaged.
This action was repeated several times before Lin Long drank a bowl of soup and medicine, and his breathing became long again.
Ye Xuyao saw that her symptoms had stabilized, so she let Aunt Green guard, and while she was not at ease, she transferred two more maids to wait, and if there was any situation, she must report it to him.
I went to the next room to rest for a while.
Closing his eyes casually, Ye Xuyao quickly got up, and was about to take a look at Lin Long's symptoms after freshening up, when Bandit Shi pushed the door in and handed him a letter.
He frowned and looked at the familiar handwriting, and had no interest in taking it, "Burn it directly." He paced to the side and washed his face.
The bandit stone looked like a bitter gourd with a face, "Master, it's really bad?" This is a ...... sent by Miss Yue from Beijing."
Ye Xuyao didn't say anything, but just looked at the bandit stone with a cold face.
Bandit Shi suddenly knew that he had overstepped the rules, and he didn't dare to look directly at his master, so he pinched the letter and retreated spinelessly, and met the bandit who was giving Ye Xuyao another basin of water.
Bandit Jian stopped and glanced at the handwritten envelope, "Didn't you read it?" ”
"Not really." Bandit Shi grinned, "Ye has never been impatient with this, just this one is still persevering, knowing that it is impossible to be our grandmother, I blush for her when I look at it." His eyes looked at the main house next to him, "Compared with Miss Lin, that's an immediate opinion." ”
"Come on, I'll talk about my master's private affairs here early in the morning, and let my lord and Miss Lin hear it, and I don't have your good fruit to eat." The bandit hit the bandit's arm, "I'll go in and wait for the master, don't go to the master when you receive this thing in the future, burn it quickly, don't show it to Miss Lin, otherwise you and I won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
Bandit Shi thought about it, and he didn't talk about it at this time, so he stuffed the letter into his cuffs, and quickly went to destroy the corpse.
After the two little servants walked away, Lin Dong appeared from behind the red pillar and muttered, "Miss Yue? "After thinking about it, I can't think of a reason, so it's more important to go and see the eldest sister first.
Ye Xuyao was about to push the door out of the house, when he saw the maid waiting for Lin Long hurriedly coming over and hurriedly taking a big step, "But Miss Lin's condition has changed?" ”
"No, uncle, Miss Lin woke up......"
Isn't?
Early in the morning, when Aunt Green sat on the edge of the bed and was so tired that the chick pecked the rice, Lin Long turned around slowly, she first moved her stiff body, fell asleep on her stomach, and her limbs were numb, but she felt a pain in her back, this pain was very penetrating, she bared her teeth, her brain quickly functioned, and the scene of injury was presented in her mind, she smiled bitterly, this is the end of being a hero.
I couldn't get up for a while, so I could only turn my eyes from side to side, and looked at the layout of the room, which was not familiar to her, but Aunt Green who was sitting on the side was something she recognized, and she hurriedly pushed, "Erniang?" ”
After a few calls, Aunt Green came to her senses and stood up with a bone, "Sister Long?" Hurriedly turned his head to look, and happened to meet Lin Long's black and white eyes, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Sister Long, are you awake?" ”
Lin Long smiled slightly, "Erniang, where are we?" "Look at the simple layout of this house, but the high-end furniture and furnishings are not comparable to my humble nest.
"This is Ye Gongzi's yard." Aunt Midori replied as she examined her injuries.
Ye Xuyao's turf? Lin Long was stunned at first, and then frowned, how could she live in the Ye Mansion? "Does Mrs. Hou know?" It won't be Ye Xuyao's unilateral decision, right?
Aunt Green did not doubt him, and said busily: "You are Mrs. Hou's life-saving benefactor, it is normal for her to stay with you for a few days to recuperate, Sister Long, don't think so much when you wake up." ”
Can you not want to? Lin Long's eyes lifted, this world is very tolerant of men, but women can't have the slightest damage to their reputation, otherwise they will be pointed out by thousands of people, and they will never be able to live anymore.
While the two were talking, Lin Dong came in, and when he saw the eldest sister open her eyes, she couldn't help but feel excited again.
When Ye Xuyao came in, Lin Long was sitting up with the help of Aunt Green, and could only lean on the soft pillow, and when he raised his eyebrows slightly, he saw the long figure.
The two glanced at each other, Ye Xuyao's originally beating heart gradually calmed down, his hurried steps slowed down, and he walked in with a calm face, as usual, his voice didn't have a little temperature, "Are you better?" Where else is it uncomfortable? ”
"It's nothing, it's much better, and there is Lao Yegongzi who cares." Lin Long replied politely.
"Well, that's good." Ye Xuyao said lightly and paused, "I haven't thanked you for saving my mother, if I hadn't met you, I'm afraid the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
"It's just a coincidence, Ye Gongzi doesn't need to worry about it." Lin Long is not proud of his merits, otherwise merit will become ineffective, "It's also a shame that I met Mrs. Hou, otherwise the consequences should also suffer."
As soon as she mentioned this stubble, her eyes changed, and the suspicions of this matter had always been in her mind, so she didn't hide it anymore, but told Ye Xuyao one by one, including her suspicions, "I always feel that they are instructed by others......"
Ye Xuyao nodded, "That's true, I've received the news that the person chasing you is just a group of idle ruffians and hooligans in Suzhou City pretending to be," the corner of his mouth smiled coldly, "Although the person is dead, this matter can't be passed, it has been found out that their horses are all rented, and they are touching melons along the way, and that person can't run." “
Seeing this, Lin Long didn't say anything more, with his attitude, he could get back the sins he suffered. "Whatever you want to eat, I tell someone to cook it......"
Before Ye Xuyao's words were finished, Ye Zhong was surrounded by his subordinates, and seeing that Lin Long was still in good spirits, he immediately shouted Amitabha Buddha, and even gave Lin Long a sumptuous breakfast.
Lin Long was a little flattered, this change in Ye Zhong's attitude made her a little uncomfortable, but she soon calmed down and spoke politely to Ye Zhong's.
Ye Xuyao stood aside and watched, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and at this time, Bandit Shi approached him and whispered, "Master, Uncle Gao Guo is here." “
This sentence Uncle Gao Guo ruined his good mood, quietly retreated, and hurriedly walked out, "What about people? "Waiting in the main hall."
Gao Zhi didn't close his eyes all night, and all that appeared in front of him was Lin Long's injury, and he hurriedly came to visit early in the morning, even if it was not very polite. "Why did Uncle Gao come over early in the morning?" Ye Xuyao's expression was as usual.
Gao Zhi glanced at Ye Xuyao's calm expression without a trace, and at this point, he was finally sure that Lin Long must not be seriously ill, at least there would be no danger to his life, and his hanging heart was finally realized.
He also smiled slightly, and sat down with Ye Xuyao as a guest, "I heard that Mrs. Xiangyang Hou is in distress, I came to greet her, Mrs. is okay, right?" "Fortunately, some people didn't succeed." Ye Xuyao glanced at him. "That's good, Suzhou City hasn't encountered such a thing for a long time, Governor Zheng really has to check it out to see who ate the courage of the ambitious leopard and dared to do this big rebellious thing." Gao Zhi flicked the tea residue and took a sip of tea elegantly, and his words seemed to be filled with righteous indignation.
Ye Xuyao glanced at him and frowned slightly, it seems that the Gao family does not plan to protect Su Youwu, which is a lot more convenient for the investigation of the case, but it is a pity that the noble concubine is deeply favored by the emperor, otherwise this case can still be involved in the Gao family, and he also took a sip of tea, "That's right, Governor Zuo came over yesterday and mentioned this matter to me, it seems that everyone sees the same, Uncle Gao's procurement work is getting smoother and smoother." "It's easy to say, it's just running errands for the palace, compared to Ye Yushi's hard work, I'm not worth it." Gao Zhi was not afraid of his run, and said with a smile, and then his expression closed, "I heard that Ye Yushi's fiancée was injured, I don't know if it's a big problem?" “
Finally asked the key point, Ye Xuyao knew his intention early on, and visiting his mother was just an excuse, his expression was slightly cold, "It's no big deal." “
The answer was concise and shocking, and the smile on Gao Zhi's face couldn't be stopped, knowing that Ye Xuyao didn't like him mentioning Lin Long, he still wanted to mention it, "I also know Miss Lin once, I don't know if it's convenient for me to take a look?" Otherwise, this heart will always be hanging, and people will not be able to do anything. “
There is a person who thinks about his fiancée everywhere, Ye Xuyao is naturally not happy, "Uncle Gao Guo went to see her inappropriately. “
This refusal was very direct, Gao Zhi didn't expect Ye Xuyao to not even go around the circle, and his face was also displeased, "Ye Yushi didn't ask Miss Lin, how did you know that she refused to see me?" “
Ye Xuyao glanced at him coldly, "I am her fiancé, so I naturally have the right to make decisions for her." Since he was so visionless, he didn't mind reminding him who Lin Long belonged to.
Gao Zhi's hand instantly clenched the chair handle, and the two looked at each other without giving in, and there was a smell of moving their hands if they didn't agree with each other. "Uncle Gao Guo came over, but he missed the distance." Ye Zhongshi came in time, and one sentence resolved the tense atmosphere.
Gao Zhi put away the provocation in his eyes, got up to salute Ye Zhong's family, and said the previous scene again.
Ye Zhong didn't know about his son's holiday with Gao Zhi, but politely said a few words to Gao Zhi. "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Ye Xuyao saw the bandit gesturing outside the door, immediately got up, and before leaving, he didn't forget to glare at Gao Zhi, this person had better be interesting, don't mention Lin Long in front of his mother.
Gao Zhi smiled incomprehensibly.
The two men fought for a while, then looked away.
Ye Zhong's family does not have much prejudice against Gao Zhi, and because of the noble concubine, the relationship between the two families has always been not very good, and they still have to be polite in their words.
Ye Xuyao, who was outside the house, looked at Bandit Jian with a cold face, "What's the matter?" "Master, I've caught the mastermind behind the assassination of Miss Lin." "Oh, who is it?" "It's a cousin of Miss Lin's own family."
Ye Xuyao's eyes narrowed slightly, this answer had long been expected by him, or the fault caused by this marriage, for his original intention of deliberately doing this before, he had already thrown it to Java, after all, he didn't expect that he would be willing one day at all.
At this time, Lin Long's eyes also widened, "Is it Lin Qiong?" “
This was the third time she had asked.
Lin Bai, who came to visit her, frowned, but Lin Li said in a disgusted and disdainful tone: "You didn't expect it to be her, right?" I didn't expect that a person who usually looks like a mouse would dare to set us up? really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, my father is now so angry that he is in bed, all of which are harmed by this unfilial girl. “
Lin Long still frowned, Lin Qiong was really so bold to harm himself and Lin Li? No matter how much she holds a grudge, it doesn't seem like she can make this plan alone. "You'd better take care of your injuries, don't worry about so many other things." Lin Bai's tone was still a little cold, even if this girl saved her daughter, it was still difficult for her to like her, but it was true that her fate was really good, seeing Ye Zhong's treatment of her, it was estimated that her life after marriage would be better, and then she looked at her daughter, and she was still a little jealous. What's more, now that Lin Qiong is in the file, the second room is really going to be anxious, and I don't know if it will have an impact on my daughter's marriage? "My mother is right, Sister Long, what do we care about such a beast that is not as good as pigs and dogs? Give her money to her uncle, who is not a good person, hmph, I want to rush in front of her and slap her a few times when I think of it. Lin Li has always looked down on Lin Qiong's sister, and now she hates it even more, "I also squeezed the three rooms, thinking that they were targeting you, but I didn't know that it was the disaster I brought me?" Sister Long, don't be angry with me, I don't know if she can't see me like this......"
Lin Long saw Lin Li pulling her sleeve, patted her hand to show that he didn't hold a grudge against her, and then asked again: "This Cousin Qiong went to turn herself in by herself?" Or ......" "How can it?" Lin Li pouted and said, "Wasn't her uncle arrested?" No, Shun Teng naturally found her, and it cost dozens of taels of silver before and after doing this, you say she is not stupid? I'm also sisters with her, so can she be good if she hurts me? It's stupid. "Where did she get the money?" Lin Long immediately caught the key point, Aunt She shouldn't have so much money. "It's really embarrassing to say this, she actually went to steal that Lin Lin's money and jewelry, you say it's infuriating? If Lin Lin hadn't disappeared and reported to the official, this matter wouldn't have come to light so quickly. “
