This incident took nearly ten days before and after, Lin Zhao took a great risk, in these ten days, he could die at any time, even if he was at that checkpoint before, facing the officers and soldiers of those city defense battalions, he could die at any time.

It wasn't until he saw Lin Jian that he was truly safe.

But these efforts are not without rewards.

After this incident, Lin Zhao was completely bound to this promising Tanhualang, as long as this Tanhualang did not fall in the court, Lin Zhao's future would be bright!

Overall, the bet was well worth it!

After talking about his experience on the mountain, Lin Jian, who was sitting opposite Lin Zhao, was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "It stands to reason that San Lang, you killed the leader of those thieves, and you should have a great contribution, but before Cheng Jingzong and others had already claimed that they had killed the thief leader of this Heavenly Wolf Village, and it was not only Cheng Jingzong who participated in this matter, but also Yuezhou Sima and the nearby garrison, since they had already declared it in advance, it would be difficult to win this credit." ”

"This is natural."

Lin Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said, "My nephew doesn't want to fight for this credit, and it is already very difficult to come down alive from the mountain. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Zhao looked at Lin Jian with apprehension and said, "Seventh Uncle, according to what the thief leader said, someone communicated with them in advance and asked them to attack Yuezhou City at night, and the nephew is almost certain that this matter must have been done by that Cheng Jingzong." ”

Speaking of this, Lin Zhao gritted his teeth: "He, an official of the imperial court, actually colluded with bandits to break into Zhou City at night and wanted to kill the seventh uncle, he is really lawless and bold!" ”

Speaking of this matter, Lin Jian was also very angry, he held back his anger, and said in a low voice: "I am a political enemy with the Kang thief family, it is not unusual for them to kill me, but in order to kill me, they killed so many people, and more than 100 people died in the hands of those thieves in Yuezhou City that night, and my Lin family alone died forty or fifty people, and those Zhao family brothers in Funiu Mountain were also either dead or disabled. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yuanda was furious: "I have more than three Jiazi in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there has never been such a thing, and the thieves are just relying on the pampering of the Son of Heaven to act so recklessly and lawlessly!" ”

He took a few deep breaths, looked up at Lin Zhao, and said: "Before and after this incident, I have already written a letter to Chang'an, and the imperial court will soon know about this matter, and then it will not only be as simple as Cheng Jingzong being convicted, but Kang Dongping behind him will also be involved!" ”

"It's a pity that Concubine Kang's holy favor is not reduced, and it is not easy to take down the Kang family with this, so I can only continue to wait for the opportunity."

Yuan Dagong slowly closed his eyes, and his voice was low: "The great enmity of dozens of people from my Lin family and more than 20 people from Funiu Mountain will one day find the Kang family to settle down!" ”

Lin Zhao also sighed, and said in a low voice: "Seventh Uncle, those people are clearly already jumping off the wall in a hurry, they can't make a plan, they are likely to attack you again, you have to be careful." ”

Lin Jian nodded and said, "After suffering such a big loss, naturally we can't be defenseless." ”

"Cheng Jingzong, this person, is extremely evil, sooner or later he will have to pay for his crimes!"

The carriage traveled from Dongbai Mountain to Yuezhou City, about a whole day, the uncle and nephew sat in the carriage, first chatting about those bandits, and in the second half of the day, Lin Jian had already begun to talk to Lin Zhao about some things about Chang'an City.

For example, the official system of Chang'an City, the power of Chang'an City, and the novelties of Chang'an City.

………………

Just when the uncle and nephew were discussing Chang'an City, Chang'an City had already received a letter from Lin Jian.

Lin Jian sent a total of two letters this time, one was sent to the Yushitai to impeach Kang Dongping and Cheng Jingzong as usual, and the other was sent to the Song Palace, so that Li Xu, the prince of the Song Palace, could be transferred to the East Palace.

After Li Xu received the letter, he didn't dare to slack off, and sent it to the East Palace as soon as possible, opened the envelope with His Royal Highness the Prince, and read the contents of the letter in detail.

Compared with the official article sent to the Imperial Historical Observatory, the second letter was written in more detail, and the story of the matter was written in detail.

After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince read it, he frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Kang Dongping is really getting more and more bold, this kind of collusion with thieves to murder the court officials has also been done!" ”

Li Xu on the side shook his head and sighed: "Although everyone can see that Kang Dongping is behind the scenes, but after all, there is no evidence, and there is no way to argue the guilt, besides, even if the evidence is found, at most, this Cheng Jingzong will come forward to take the blame, and Shuo Fang will not be involved." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat on the soft couch in the East Palace, bowed his head and thought for a while, and then spoke: "Since everyone can see it at a glance, it is naturally impossible for the father not to see it. ”

He got up from the soft couch and said to Li Xu: "Eighth brother, you sit here with me for a while, and I will go to see my father." ”

Li Xu said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not condemn the Kang family." ”

"There's no need to condemn Kang's."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked calm: "They are out of line, and my father can't help but give me an explanation." ”

"You wait here, I'll go back."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the palace people in the East Palace, and said in a deep voice: "Change clothes with Lone." ”

At this time, he was only wearing a light blue civilian clothes, and if he wanted to meet the Son of Heaven, he had to at least change into the prince's regular clothes.

Soon, the prince changed his clothes, got into his chariot, and rushed to the Taiji Palace.

At this time, it was already afternoon, and the Son of Heaven was reading some miscellaneous books in the study, two beautiful palace maids kneeling at his feet and beating their legs gently, and there were two eunuchs fanning the wind behind him.

Knowing that the prince asked to see him, His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly, then waved his hand, signaled the slaves and maids who were serving him to retreat for the time being, and then tidied up some scattered clothes, and said, "Prince Xuan comes in." ”

Soon, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walked into the study and bowed.

The Son of Heaven glanced at the crown prince, put down the scroll in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "What is the matter with my son here?" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked respectful, and after getting up, he held Lin Jian's letter in his hand, bowed down and said: "Father, the son of the minister, Yuan Dagong, sent this letter to the son today, the content of the letter is appalling, the son of the minister does not dare to be specialized, I have come to ask the father to take a look." ”

Hearing Lin Jian's name, the emperor frowned and said, "What can Lin Jian do that makes you, the crown prince, dare not care, and have to be sent to me?" ”

"Wei Zhong, bring it up and show me."

Wei Zhong, the old eunuch who was waiting for the emperor, immediately nodded, came to the prince and took the letter from the prince's hand with both hands, and then sent it to the Son of Heaven, who was patient and read the four-page letter sent by Lin Jian from Yuezhou, and then frowned slightly: "This matter is just Lin Jian's speculation, even if someone wants to harm him, he should be sent to the Yushitai, and after being handed over to the Yushitai to find out, it should be handled strictly, how can it be sent to the East Palace?" ”

The crown prince hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Father, Master Lin naturally impeached Cheng Jingzong and others to the Imperial History Tower, but what Cheng Jingzong and others did was really appalling, so Master Lin wrote another letter to his sons to explain the matter. ”

The Son of Heaven took a deep breath and tossed the letter aside.

"In that case, after the Yushitai finds out, it will be punished according to the laws of the country, what are you sending here to do?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood up, glanced up at the Son of Heaven, and said cautiously: "What does the Emperor mean by sending someone down to investigate this matter?" ”

"Check it as you want."

The Son of Heaven frowned and said: "But if what is said in the letter is true, Yuezhou City will be broken in by thieves and kill more than a hundred people, it is indeed appalling. ”

"This Yuezhou Zhizhou Cheng Jingzong immediately asked people to take him to the capital to deal with him strictly, regardless of whether he colluded with the thieves or not, just if he let the thieves break into the state city, he will be punished for serious crimes!"

Speaking of this, after the Son of Heaven pondered for a while, he spoke: "As for this Lin Jian......

"Since Yuezhou is not very peaceful, let him go back to the capital first, he is also a talent, if he dies in the hands of bandits, it will also be a loss for my Da Zhou."

The Son of Heaven's face was calm: "The Lin family suffered a disaster in the state city, and it was also the fault of the imperial court, Lin Jian is my son's teacher, so my son will come forward to compensate some of the Lin family." ”

Although the words of the Son of Heaven were vague, the meaning was obvious.

That is to compensate Lin Jian and the Lin family, and this matter ends with Cheng Jingzong.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Father, Emperor Shengming."
