Tang Lin was a little flattered by such a hug suddenly, and the family he brought back on the side also had a frightened expression.

"Uncle, we thought you wouldn't come back until around the Chinese New Year."

"I didn't expect you to be pardoned, I went to the Yeguo Mansion to look for you before, and the porter pointed me out that you lived here."

"Well, I didn't expect it, uncle, did you go home first? Recently ...... at home"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Tang Lin saw that Bai Ko was going to talk non-stop, grabbed a small piece of pastry on the table and fed it to Bai Ko's mouth, "I'll talk about it later, you meet this family first, I brought it back for you all the way, I know that you like craftsmen, they promise to surprise you." ”

Bai Ko chewed the snack in his mouth, and for the first time, he seriously looked at the stranger in front of him, two fathers and mothers, three sons and two daughters, a total of seven people, the eldest was ten years old, and the younger was five or six years old, and their faces were full of the fatigue of the journey, and each of them had burned out of their hair, and the skin exposed to the outside of their clothes had burns ranging from light to severe, and some of their whole hands were wrapped in gauze.

"This is a family that survived the fire?"

"That's right, and it's a criminal case." Tang Lin pointed to his parents, who had the most serious injuries on his hands and face, but the whole family was treated, "This family is surnamed Song, if I hadn't used an axe to split the wooden plank on their door, the family would have been burned alive." ”

"What are you going to do when you bring the criminal case back to the capital?"

"Because the magistrate did not admit that there was such a vicious arson case, the closing complaint was also written as an accidental fire caused by careless use of fire."

"So you went to Beijing to sue the royal court?"

"I don't want to sue the royal family, I just want a place where the family can resettle, the ancestral carpenter, the craftsmanship is very good."

"Where's the stick? Why was the door closed and set on fire? ”

"It's because the craftsmanship is super good that I was sealed with a grudge and set on fire."

"Uncle, just say it, it must be interesting to bring it back to me from afar."

"Look, I'm a yarn shop, right? I'm looking for a source, where do you think I've been? ”

"Xingning Mansion?"

"Smart, but they are the people of Hong'an County below, the ancestral carpenter's craftsmanship, the essence of the wisdom of several generations, made water-powered spinning machines and looms, so they were taken advantage of the middle of the night to close the door and set fire, the county order does not care, I bought them as slaves and brought them back."

"Really? Hydraulic? How many catties of cotton yarn can be produced in a day and night? ”

"There are more wet periods and less dry periods, on average, there are about 100 catties a day and night." Uncle Song, who is in charge, speaks crookedly, and it is in the Hong'an dialect, which is a little difficult to listen to.

"Where's the weaving?"

"That one burned before it was used a few times."

"Okay, I'll keep you for the time being, you can recuperate your injuries first, and when you recover from your injuries, I'll send you to the farm, where there is a tributary, you can make me a new prototype, and if I am satisfied with the trial, I will officially accept you."

"You have the final say in a girl's family?" The Song family looked at Bai Ko suspiciously, although they heard a lot about Bai Ko on the way to the capital, but at this time, they were a little suspicious when they saw such a young girl.

"She really has the final say!"

"Only she can decide whether you go or stay."

Gong Changji and Gu Yun suddenly walked into the flower hall side by side, and as soon as they came back, they listened to the porter, and they came over immediately, just in time to hear a tail.

"When did you two come? How much was eavesdropped? Bai Ko glanced over.

"How can you call eavesdropping, the door is not closed, we are listening generously." The palace chief threw a smug flying eye at Bai Ko, and was deliberately stepped on by Gu Yun.

Tang Lin took the Song family to stand up and salute the two of them, "Brother Song, come on, this is the chief successor of the Chengjun Palace, and this is Gu Yun, the prince of the Gonggong Mansion of the Opposite Gate." ”

The Song family hurriedly walked out of the table and was about to kneel and kowtow, but the palace chief hurriedly excused them.

"Okay, get up, your injuries will be spared, listen to Bai Ko, take care of your injuries and show your skills, only those who can earn money are qualified to stay, and you can stay and kowtow to me."

"Thank you, thank you." The Song family was grateful, and helped each other to get up from the ground.

The palace chief then called Tang Lin forward and asked him when he entered the city, whether the Song family had settled first, and learned that they came here as soon as they entered the capital, so he instructed the housekeeper to prepare a small courtyard, so that the Song family could recuperate in the palace and have a house doctor to take care of it, and it was also convenient for Bai Ko to discuss any problems at any time.

The Song family thanked Prince Cheng again and went down with the housekeeper first.

The subordinate replaced the flower hall with new tea and snacks, and then the door was closed, and the four of them gathered around the table to tell Tang Lin a series of events after King Yu returned to Beijing, and admired his serial tricks.

"Tang Lin, there is really you, I actually let the bustard mother and so many girls bite King Yu back, I must give you a cup of tea, hero, true hero." The palace chief picked up the teapot and poured it full for Tang Lin without saying anything.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Tang Lin took a sip of hot tea with a cup in both hands and put it down, "Actually, this strategy is not worth a penny when it comes out, because in ten percent of the news, ninety percent is true, and the remaining ten percent has become true even if it is fake." The girls who had been enjoyed by King Yu were dealt with on the way back to Beijing, so the bustard's mother's confession only had to say that they had never seen each other since they were taken away by the slaves. ”

"And the appearance of Xi Nu makes them describe the appearance of Li University, you have been in Dacheng Mansion for a few months, but in the end you have no zài at all." Gu Yun said with a smile.

"That's right, in order to reduce the chance of letting others know me as much as possible, especially the people around King Yu, I only have a one-line contact with Li University, every time he sends out a girl, the reward money comes back to share me as much as he wants, I get the money and will share it with the four bustard mothers, the four of them have earned enough money, and found that it is King Yu who laid out the pit, it is too late to regret it, they and I have long been accomplices in the same boat, even if they tell the truth, they can't save their lives. And the role of those girls is to persuade the bustard mother to stand on the side of the prince, the girls are all disaster victims in the counties and villages under the rule of Dacheng Mansion, they have the most direct feelings about disaster relief, the prince and the king of Yu, who is down to do practical things, they know very well, as long as they are strong-willed, the bustard mothers will succumb to the conflict for a few days, they earn so much money, they must have their lives to enjoy, right? Therefore, out of ten percent of the news, ninety percent is true, and the remaining one percent is not true and true. ”

"In order to prove that King Yu was framed, Yang Siyuan and his son checked the background of our people and found your deposit, and you happened to be in the capital where you left in those days, they found the bustard mother and the girls, and also got the portrait, they were excited, but the prince handed over the subordinates and testimony to Yingtianfu after the interrogation, they were worried that the evidence was unfavorable to King Yu, so they didn't have time to verify who the person on the portrait was, so they were impatient to give the court a transcript. Their thinking is all right, and they failed at this step by mistake, this is God has eyes, and they will not let the bad guys' tricks succeed, otherwise if they find out that Xi Nu is Li University, they will naturally hold back the news and dare not announce it, and without the subsequent court trial, it will not cause these later things. The palace chief took a few sips of hot tea and said slowly.

"To be an afterthought, I like Yang Siyuan and his accomplices' self-inflicted cleverness, although we were scared at the time, but the reaction of those girls was even more unexpected than we expected, we can feel the strong anger and resentment in the court when we stand outside the Yimen, the girls seized the opportunity to complain in the court, and now there are various testimonies of the people of the neighboring prefectures and counties of Dacheng Mansion, the head of the household department is the minister of the Qincha, and the whole territory of Dacheng Mansion will be severely groomed, and the Zhao family is finished." Gu Yun's fingers tapped on the tabletop.

"Their downfall is now a matter of time, and the implications are so great that it may take until next year just to sort out the whole case." Gong Changji quickly estimated.

"It's a good year to have this year." Bai Ko leaned back in his chair with a comfortable face, "If the Song family didn't brag just now, the farm might be able to pay taxes of 10,000 taels next year." ”

"Huh?!" The three men's thoughts were immediately deviated by her, "Really? ”

"I mean if." Bai Ko rubbed his three fingers, which was the action of counting the silver tickets, "If it is true, the eldest uncle has made a great contribution, and he will make a fortune when the time comes." ”

"You know you like it." Tang Lin smiled so much that all the wrinkles on his face widened.

Gong Changji and Gu Yun were a little depressed, "We just said so much, you didn't listen to a word?" ”

"Those things are in the past, it's just that my eldest uncle is back now to answer some questions, since there are no more problems, then what are we still doing in the past, of course, looking forward to the future."

The three men were silent, looking at Bai Ko, whose expression was already very wrong, and his eyes lit up, as if there were boxes of gold in front of her.

"It's okay, it's good to get used to it, Bai Ko just loves money." Gu Yun knows Bai Ko's hobby very well.

"Then needless to say, I'm a female bachelor, what do I love if I don't love money? Only money can give me the best sense of security. Bai Ko was full of words.

"Bai Ko, do you know that the men who want to marry you in the capital can line up from the front door to the back door of my palace?"

"Yes, but so what, what's my business? What they think is their business, what I think is mine, and don't mix things that don't align with each other at all. "Teach the palace chief a lesson, and Bai Ko is also justified.

Tang Lin was already dumbfounded, he had never seen such a white carda, he had the impression that the white light was a lovely girl, not so arrogant.

"So what kind of man are you looking for? Say it and we'll help you see it in detail? Gong Changji smiled amiably and bumped his knees against Gu Yun under the table.

"Of course, it's best to be good-looking, talented and wealthy, and there are a lot of young people in their twenties on the streets of the capital now, and they look pleasing to the eye." Bai Ko rubbed her hands, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled like a wolf grandmother who wanted to eat meat, "Don't worry, next year will be spring, and I'm still more interested in the tender and delicious young jinshi." ”

The three men suddenly felt that the hairs on their bodies stood on end for no reason, and the palace chief Ji secretly looked at Gu Yun, and this kid's face turned blue.
