Chapter IV
When Zhang Anze returned to his residence, a group of subordinates were still waiting at the door.
Tongfu saw that the prince was walking away with the qin, and now he returned empty-handed, and he couldn't help but be happy when he understood that the qin was given away.
The prince is more than eighteen years old, but he is not close to women. The ladies of the palace urged, and when His Majesty urged, the courtiers from all walks of life asked themselves from time to time to send portraits of their daughters to the prince, but they were all rejected one by one.
The words of the ladies are heard in the left ear and the right ear rises, and the words of His Majesty are respectfully promised but not implemented, as for the stunning portraits sent by the courtiers, see one by one. provoked the nobles in the capital to sigh secretly, and when they talked about it in private, they all called this suave prince a proud black lotus that could only be watched from a distance and could not be blasphemed.
Even he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... Fortunately, today's prince seems to have a lot of favor for that Lin girl.
At this time, Tongfu saw Zhang Anze coming from afar, and raised a smile, but took out the booklet and jade pendant from his arms, "Master, the booklet and jade pendant were originally delivered, but ......"
Zhang Anze paused, and when he saw that the thing was taken back intact, he knew that something had changed," he said. ”
"It should be foolproof, but the little official surnamed Lin has already drawn a confession, and we can't interfere. It's just that it seems that there is something else going on here......"
"What's the matter?"
Halfway through Tongfu's words, he went to capture the subtlety in Zhang Anze's eyes, "It seems that someone is threatening Miss Lin's innocence." ”
Zhang Anze was stunned for a moment. He has always been insightful and calm, but now when he mentioned Lin Chuyue, who seemed to be weak and boneless, but in fact he didn't know how many delicate eyes he had, he couldn't help frowning, "Who can coerce her? ”
"It's just that now the criminal has been convicted and has been transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Tongfu said in a low voice: "Master, the one from the Inspectorate, but ......" is your sworn enemy.
"It doesn't matter. Tomorrow, I will take Miss Lin to my house. The movement is bigger, I'll see how the one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will judge this little official surnamed Lin. ”
Zhang Anze looked in the direction of the courtyard from afar, and a light of calculation flashed in his eyes.
The little inspectorate also dared to brush the face of the East Palace, and it was very dead.
The next day, the morning light was faint and the sun was not yet dazzling, Lin Chuyue left the Shangshu Mansion, and before she arrived at the door, she saw the neighbors' mothers-in-law and pointed at her mother.
She didn't return all night, and Mother Lin was quite worried, so she stood at the gate of the small courtyard early and looked forward to it, ignoring the gossip of the neighbors.
Lin Chuyue naturally knew what was going on, and before Father Lin's accident, the neighbors also greeted each other. But since the accident of the Lin family, the mother-in-law and aunts, who have always been enthusiastic, have poured cold water on them in order to protect their lives, claiming to draw a line with her Lin family.
Lin Chuyue didn't want to argue with those mothers-in-law, so she helped Lin's mother to go to the house, and comforted her softly: "Gu Shangshu took over his father's case, and his mother is relieved." ”
Before Lin's mother could answer, she heard her neighbor Mrs. Liu say: "Miss Lin, your father has an accident, and your mother and mother will not have a good time in the future. ”
Mrs. Liu's triangular eyes were hanging, full of schadenfreude, who doesn't know that her son was born a crazy person? She has been in love with this Lin family girl for a long time, and she couldn't climb high before, but now she ...... Oh, a delicate flower that was once unattainable, it is estimated that it will soon be tasted by thousands of people and thousands of people.
Neighbor Zhang's mother also began to tease, "Sister Liu, are you a toad who wants to eat swan meat? The girl of the Lin family should not listen to her, just marry my son!"
"Come on, your son fights all day long, what if he beats his mother-in-law?"
The rest of the mother-in-law laughed loudly, and their voices were extremely dissolute. Lin Chuyue frowned, and hurriedly helped her mother in, and Lin's mother saw that Lin Chuyue's face was pale, and her heart became sour. In the past, I could bear to accuse myself, but Chuyue, an innocent girl, couldn't afford to slander like this.
Her face sank, and she turned her head to discuss the pros and cons with those mothers-in-law, but was stopped by Lin Chuyue single-handedly, "Forget it, mother, don't pay attention to it." ”
In fact, the Lin family counted several generations from their ancestors, but it was not a small family. Judging from the genealogy, there was also a great general. It's just that the so-called "generation to do *** absolute" has long since declined in her generation. In addition to his father, a little official in prison, there is also a younger brother who has not returned from the army.
Mother Lin sighed helplessly, "Your whimsical younger brother didn't say that he wanted to be a great general, and it turned out to be two years away. If he had followed our mother, he would not have been so looked down upon today. ”
Speaking of the younger brother who was arguing all day long to be a general, Lin Chuyue stroked Lin's mother's back, and her heart was covered with a layer of warmth. My younger brother was only fifteen years old when he set out on the expedition, and after two years, he should have grown into a handsome man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.
Just thinking about it, there was a sudden noisy voice in the courtyard, Lin Chuyue was inexplicably a little apprehensive in her heart, so she said to her mother: "Mother, you rest, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Sure enough, as soon as she opened the door, she saw that the front yard was surrounded by a group of thugs.
The man at the head carried a three-foot-long thick stick, stepped forward, tore open his throat and shouted, "Old man Lin, as an official, is actually greedy for the disaster relief food and salary of the refugees, and a few of my buddies are here to do the way of heaven today!
The man in front of him was in his early twenties, with a beard, acting like a pundane and unreasonable leader. Seeing Lin Chuyue probe out, she smashed the celadon ware placed in the hall with a stick, and the sound of desolate sound echoed.
Oh no, this is looking for trouble! It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight. She slammed the door shut, and there was a muffled thud.
Immediately turned his head to Lin Mu and said, "Mother, you go to the back door and report to the official, I will delay for a while." ”
Mother Lin knew that her daughter had always been active and thoughtful, so she hurriedly agreed to come down and rush to the yamen along the back door.
At this time, a carved sedan chair was parked at the mouth of the alley on the left side of the Lin family.
The sedan chair wood is as precious as gold, and the four of them are lifted. However, even so, for the prince Zhang Anze in the sedan chair, it is already an extremely low-key trip. There were some people around, staring at the nobles, with a strange expression.
Zhang Anze was wearing a dark blue silk casual dress today, and a fragrant tea curled on his slender fingertips became more and more noble, and the mist separated his eyes, making it impossible to see the emotion between his eyebrows. Tongfu was left and right, and he was wondering why he just took people to the mansion and asked the prince to personally invite this good show.
I happened to see the courtyard of the Lin family here, and saw that a group of thugs forced Miss Lin to have no way out, Tongfu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Master, aren't we going yet?"
Long before the group of gangsters came, Zhang Anze and his party were waiting here. It's just that Zhang Anze swiped the tea foam unhurriedly, so that he could ...... Be an onlooker.
Cut, what's the matter with him, it's always been others begging for him, how can there be someone as honorable as him to catch up with other people's?
