In the early morning of the next day, three ships, including the big ship of the palace, escorted the birthday boat north to the capital, and Lin Jue also returned to Hangzhou with Song Yanping's military ship. On the occasion of separation, Ma Bin told Lin Jue in every way, asking him to go to the capital if he had the opportunity to go to the capital in the future. Lin Jue agreed with a smile. It can be seen that Ma Bin is still worth dating, this time he can be regarded as saving his future, and he makes no secret of his gratitude to himself.

The two fleets parted ways, one to the north and the other to the south. Lin Jue's sailor ship of the Ning Navy went south to the wind, and after crossing Baoying Lake, he sailed all the way down to Hangzhou along the canal.

Lin Jue stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the scenery, although it was nearly November, even in the southeast, it was full of desolation and yellow, but this did not affect Lin Jue's mood at all. At this moment, Lin Jue's mood is very different from when he came, he was full of worries and worries when he came, but at this time, he was relaxed and fluttering. Lin Jue felt a little like an arrow, how happened to Green Dance? What happened to Huanqiu, how happened to Mr. and Mrs.? Xie Yingying: How is the business of their Grand Theater? I worked hard in the cottage before, and I rarely had time to think about this, because I couldn't protect myself. But now, these things are coming in one after another, and there is a sense of re-entering the red dust from another world.

The big ship seemed to know Lin Jue's thoughts, the wind was full of long sails, and it was moving fast. The scenery on both sides of the strait is rapidly receding, and there is a sense that the light boat has passed the Wanzhong Mountain.

Two days later, outside the North Gate of Hangzhou, Lin Jue's military ship arrived here. Ships do not enter the city at ordinary times, and one of the garrisons of the Hangzhou Ning Navy is on the canal outside the Beiguanmen, so it docks at the canal wharf outside the Beiguanmen.

When Lin Jue dragged his large package to the dock, he found that there were already a lot of people on the dock who had come to greet him. Lin Jue soon saw Liang Wang Guo Bing and Lin Boyong standing beside him. Obviously, King Liang had already gotten the news, and Lin Boyong naturally got the news, so they were already here to greet Lin Jue.

"Hahaha, Lin Jue, good boy, you really did it." Guo Bing stepped forward with a laugh and pointed at Lin Jue: "After receiving the report last night, this king was suspicious of his ears, if it wasn't for Kun'er's handwritten letter, this king would definitely be suspicious." Amazing, amazing. ”

Lin Jue smiled and stepped forward to salute, humbling himself continuously.

Lin Boyong stepped forward slowly, his excited lips trembled, and he took Lin Jue's hand and said, "Lin Jue, this time...... Thank you for your hard work. ”

"Master, why do you say this? This is what I have to do. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Lin Boyong sighed and smacked his lips: "Old man...... Ay...... Shame on you! Shameful. ”

Lin Jue smiled silently, and Guo Bing on the side smiled and said: "Lin Dongjia, you should be happy, your Lin family has a talent." This Lin Jue's ability...... I'm afraid your sons are not as good as them combined. I heard that your Lin family is not very good to him, and discriminates against him as a concubine. Hey, it's really eye-catching. ”

"What the prince said is that the old man has eyes but no beads. The old man is ashamed. Lin Boyong sighed.

Guo Bing ignored him anymore, and said to Lin Jue with a smile: "I will have a banquet in the palace, you go with me, and this king will praise you well." ”

Lin Jue smiled: "The prince is kind, Lin Jue understands it." This time it was fortunate not to be dishonored, and it was a fluke. There is no need for praise, if the prince is considerate, the grass people want to go home first and sleep well. That's the biggest compliment. ”

Lin Boyong pulled the corner of Lin Jue's clothes, meaning to remind Lin Jue not to refute the prince's face, so as not to make the prince angry. Who knew that Guo Bing was not angry, and laughed: "What you said is very true, but this king is not close to people." I should have had a good rest. In this way, the banquet will be changed to tomorrow at noon, which will be fine. No matter how late it is, it won't be done, the day after tomorrow, the king will go to the capital for Qichen, and then come back will be the year later. This king doesn't want to put it off until then. ”

Lin Jue arched his hand and said: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

Guo Bing said with a smile: "Then it is a matter of decision, then the king will go back to the house first, and this matter is still not suitable for publicity." Although the birthday gift was recaptured, it still can't be publicized, do you understand? ”

"I understand, the prince can rest assured. It's as if it never happened. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Guo Bing laughed and nodded, turned around and got into his luxurious carriage surrounded by everyone.

Lin Boyong and Lin Jue got into their own car and went home in the city, in the carriage, Lin Boyong asked a lot of things in the bandit village, and Lin Jue also told him about it. But there are some key things to hide, because these are things that don't need to be known to Lin Boyong.

Even so, Lin Boyong was still dumbfounded and smacked his lips again and again. Lin Boyong is not stupid, when Lin Jue went on this trip, many people, including him, had the mentality of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and they didn't think that this matter could be successful at all, but Lin Jue did it. The birthday gift was recaptured, and the clouds on the Lin family's head also dispersed, how could it not make Lin Boyong happy.

"The Lin family is fortunate to be blessed by the heroic spirit of the ancestors. The third brother Quan Xia must have smiled, there is a wise and brave child in the third room, and the glory of my Lin family is just around the corner. Lin Jue, you really surprised the old man. Everything before was uncle's, don't take it to heart, in the future, your uncle will treat everyone equally, and there will never be those things like before. You are also right about some things about the Lin family, and the old man will adjust them as appropriate to help the Lin family prosper. ”

Lin Jue smiled silently, if Lin Boyong can really change, it is also the luck of the Lin family. But at least one thing can be known that his status in the Lin family in the future will no longer be the angry bag who is ignored and bullied. If Lin Boyong didn't have this eyesight at this time, then most of his life would have been in vain.

While speaking, Lin Jue seemed to inadvertently ask about one thing, that is, what he told Lin Boyong when he left Hangzhou.

"The head of the family, the family doesn't know about me going to the bandit village, right? I don't want to make a storm all over the city. Lin Jue asked.

"I don't know, didn't you tell me to keep my mouth shut before you left? How could the old man talk so much about such a big thing? Do you really know what to do as an uncle? Lin Boyong said busily.

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Uncle is wise and martial, so naturally he is not a person who doesn't know what to do. I'm just asking. You can also see that even if the matter is done, the prince will tell us not to publicize it, after all, this is not a good thing. This matter is over at the bottom, and even if the birthday gift is recaptured, if it is passed on to the imperial court, it will still be bad. ”

Lin Boyong nodded and said: "Don't worry, no one in the family will talk much, I won't, Lin Ke won't, he doesn't understand." ”

Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Big brother? He also knows about it? You told him? ”

Lin Boyong was shocked and speechless, and his old face turned red and said, "...... This one...... I told him, but only one person, and he swore not to tell anyone. Lin Ke's mouth is the strictest, but they don't dare to guarantee it. Lin Ke asked me a few times and I didn't say anything, but then I felt that it was not good to hide it from him, so I told him about you going to the bandit village. You don't suspect that Lin Ke will leak the news. You can get out of the way, doesn't that mean that the news hasn't leaked? ”

Lin Jue was silent. After the fight that night in the cottage, Lin Jue's heart has been haunted by a question that has not been solved for a long time. When Qiu Biao came to the banquet that night, he arrested Ma Biao, Shen Tan and the other five palace guards who had infiltrated the cottage together. This incident made Lin Jue very puzzled.

Ma Bin later said that he was recognized by Qiu Biao because he had fought with him when Qiu Biao hijacked the birthday boat. These words seem to explain why Qiu Biao would catch Ma Bin, Shen Tan and others. But in fact, according to Lin Jue's questioning afterwards, Ma Bin, Shen Tan and others did not even go to court for interrogation, let alone confess anything. If Ma Bin and Qiu Biao have fought each other, and Qiu Biao also knows Ma Bin's identity, then he and the rest of the people have not dealt with Qiu Biao.

However, when Qiu Biao revealed his identity in public that night, he said in detail, and he even knew everything about his study in Songshan Academy, so the whole thing seemed very suspicious.

Lin Jue has been thinking about this question for the past few days, and there is actually only one answer, and that is that someone leaked the news. Someone sent all the identities of the eight people who mixed into the cottage to the cottage, so Qiu Biao went to arrest Ma Bin and Shen Tan, and at the same time revealed his identities at the wedding. In other words, Qiu Biao got the news first, and met Ma Bin later. Ma Bin's words do not explain Qiu Biao's arrest.

Not many people know about this plan. In addition to these eight people who have experienced it personally, there are only six or seven people on their fingers. If someone leaks the news, it's one of the six or seven people. But none of them have a motive, because none of them will benefit from the failure of the plan. That's why this matter made Lin Jue puzzling.

But now, Lin Boyong's unintentional words revealed that he was not tight-lipped, but informed Lin Ke under Lin Ke's continuous questioning, and Lin Jue couldn't help but have questions.

"Nephew, you shouldn't be upset about this. It's not that I'm breaking my promise, I just don't want to hide it from him. After all, Lin Ke is your eldest brother, he is quite steady, and he will not talk nonsense. Isn't that the best proof that you're back safe and sound? …… Okay, it's all my fault, but isn't there no accident? Don't worry about that, okay? At most, the uncle apologizes to you, and apologizes to you, right? ”

Lin Boyong knew that he was wrong, and pleaded incoherently. In fact, he also knows that it is not a question of whether the news will leak, but whether the promised things will be kept. In these years, people have no faith and do not stand, and it is actually very undesirable for him to do so, which will damage his credibility. But on the one hand, Lin Boyong didn't think that this matter would have any impact. Lin Ke is his eldest son, the candidate for the position of the head of the family in the future, and he is also the most stable and reliable among the sons of the Lin family. Because of this, when Lin Ke kept asking, and even said with some frustration that he couldn't get his father's complete trust, Lin Boyong finally couldn't bear his son's frustration and told him Lin Jue's whereabouts and plans.

Lin Jue sighed and said, "Family master, this matter is not a big deal, just tell it." You're right, you shouldn't have hidden it from your eldest brother. I also returned safely, which shows that the eldest brother is still tight-lipped. There is no need to mention this again. ”

Lin Boyong was relieved, Lin Jue was still well-behaved. This is the end of the matter, and there is no need to say more.
