In the past few days, the front door of the Planter Dao Mansion is like a city, although the Planter Dao has not yet returned triumphantly, but the various 'relatives and friends' who come to admire it almost trampled the threshold of the Planter's family, making the nephew of the Planter Dao Chong Lin upset.

These relatives and friends who can't beat the eight poles have brought gifts, don't want people to say that you are arrogant, and you will ignore the old ones when you are crowned king, but if you accept them, these people have other intentions, how can there be a reason to give gifts in vain in the world.

Chong Lin couldn't resist it, so he simply fled from the Chongfu and asked the housekeeper to deal with it, write down the name and gifts, and talk about it later.

At dusk, Chong Lin rode back from outside the city, ready to return to the town, Chong Lin was about 30 years old, was originally the son of the youngest brother of the seed master Dao, Chong Chengzhi.

Seed Chengzhi died in the battle against the Western Xia, leaving orphans and widows, and finally his wife remarried, only two years old son Chonglin was adopted by the seed master Dao, the seed master Tao regarded it as his own, very loved, raised him to grow up, and sent him to Taixue to study, and finally became a civil official, and the current official is from the eight products of Chengfeng Lang.

Chong Lin did not accompany his uncle on the expedition this time because he happened to be ill last month, so he has been staying in the capital.

The two sons of the seed master are both officials in other places, and the old wife is sick, so the affairs in the house are basically handled by the seed lin.

After a short time, Chong Lin urged the horse to come to the gate of Chenzhou, and it was dusk, and the hawkers who had been doing business in the city for a day were leaving the capital to go home.

A group of children at the gate of the city were setting off artillery battles, and from time to time there was a 'bang! Boom! The explosion sounded, and Chong Lin couldn't help but tighten the reins and walk slowly, lest his horse be frightened.

At this moment, a cannonball flew out of nowhere, and exploded right next to the eyes of the horses, bursting out with fire, and the horses were frightened, screaming, and rushed towards the city gate.

Chong Lin was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "The front dodges, the horse is frightened!" ”

The people in front of the city gate were so frightened that they fled to both sides, and Chong Lin pulled the reins desperately, and finally stabilized his horse, but at this moment, a man suddenly appeared in front of the horse, only to hear 'Bang! With a thud, the man was knocked to the ground.

The man immediately lay down and shouted: "Oops! I was about to be run over and killed. ”

Chong Lin was stunned, he could see clearly, this person obviously bumped into him on purpose, and his horse didn't touch him much, and suddenly five or six big men rushed out next to him, "Qiao San, you are cheating again, open your dog's eyes and see, this is the Yanei of the king of Guangyang County!" ”

But the man lay on the ground and shouted, "I'm going to die, I'm going to kill someone!" ”

The surroundings were immediately surrounded by people, and at this time, a person stepped forward and said to Chong Lin: "Go quickly!" This person is a notoriously scoundrel, he was entangled by him, and the loss of money is still a trivial matter, but it is a big deal to ruin the reputation of the king of Guangyang County. ”

Chong Lin was also a little stunned for a while, he didn't figure out why he ruined his uncle's reputation, but since the other party said this, he was also worried, and he saw very clearly that his horse didn't hit this person at all, and he was obviously a scoundrel.

Chong Lin snorted heavily, "I didn't hit you, and it's useless for you to be a scoundrel!" ”

He urged the horse to leave and went directly into the city gate, at this time, the five or six men suddenly changed their faces and shouted: "Lao Tzu is the family of the king of Guangyang County, you dare to provoke my family, see how we teach you a bastard!" ”

Five or six big men swarmed up, punched and kicked, causing death, and the scoundrel on the ground was originally spent money to touch the porcelain of the plant, but he never dreamed that he would have to pay the price of his life in the end.

At this time, someone in the big man suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed him in the chest several times, and the scoundrel screamed miserably, and died of anger instantly.

The surrounding people suddenly shouted in fright, "Murder! ”

The five big men roared fiercely at the surrounding people: "Lao Tzu is the family of the king of Guangyang County, what is it to kill a small people, provoke it, Lao Tzu even killed the emperor, and has the ability to sue the official." ”

The five big men pushed everyone away and swaggered away.

The surrounding people shouted angrily, "Go and report to the official, the Yanai of the Planter Dao indulges the family to kill people!" ”

At this time, Tong Yansi, who was hiding in the crowd and watching, sneered, this is the effect he wanted, he turned around and left the city gate.

．．．．．．．

When Chong Lin returned to the house, he was still a little uneasy in his heart, although the scoundrel wanted to blackmail himself, but if he walked like this, in case the scoundrel hurt himself and then ran to sue himself, he couldn't say it clearly!

The more Chong Lin thought about it, the more inappropriate it became, so he asked the housekeeper to go to Chenzhou Gate to take a look, and if the scoundrel was still making trouble, he would give him a few taels of silver to shut up.

The housekeeper hurriedly went, and the planter road was not far from Chenzhou Gate, and after a while, the housekeeper rode a donkey and galloped over, shouting from afar: "Little official, it's not good!" ”

Chong Lin stood inside the gate waiting for the news, he was shocked, and hurriedly greeted him, "What's the matter?" ”

"Someone's dead! The scoundrel is dead. ”

'Buzz!' Was he really killed by his own horse? He asked anxiously, "Why did you die?" ”

"I was killed, I was killed by a few big men, and the people at the city gate said that they were killed by our family."

Chong Lin was stunned for a moment, he didn't respond for a while, what was going on?

He didn't expect that the other party's cold arrow was not aimed at him, but his eldest uncle.

The housekeeper was also anxious, and hurriedly asked, "Little official, who are you taking out today?" ”

There are indeed more than a dozen domestic servants in the Planter Daoist Mansion, but they are not any retinues, they are all grooms, gardeners, coachmen, bookkeepers, and the like.

Chong Lin shook his head, "I don't know what's going on, you know that I never take my family, maybe it's a misunderstanding." ”

The housekeeper is right to think about it, the little officials have always been alone, and there is no family to bring in the house, it is estimated that it is a misunderstanding, he nodded, "Don't look at it anymore!" I guess what kind of vendetta is, misunderstood as our planter. ”

Although Chong Lin felt that he was innocent, but after all, the person was dead, he only felt heavy in his heart, as if a big stone was pressed in his heart, he stood at the door and hesitated, should he go to the government to talk about this matter, but what if he didn't report the case at all? Running to the government by yourself is not asking for trouble.

Just when it was difficult to decide, someone behind him suddenly asked, "Is this a farming house?" ”

As soon as Chong Lin turned around, there were actually several catchers behind him, and he nodded, "This is Chongfu, what is the matter with you?" ”

"Arrest Jiang Quan in Xiakaifeng Mansion, let's look for Chonglin, there is a murder case in Kaifeng Mansion related to him."

'Buzz!' He didn't expect this to happen so quickly, it was only less than half an hour!

"I'm a seedling."

Hearing that the man on the other side was Chonglin, several catchers immediately separated, in a semi-encircled state, and their hands were also pressed on the handle of the knife, and the head catcher said coldly: "Someone sued you, saying that you set slaves and killed people, please come with us!" ”

Chong Lin was suddenly furious and shouted: "It's true that I hit someone on a horseback, but when you set up a slave and kill someone, you make it clear!" ”

"We don't know the specific circumstances of the case, but Zhang Shaoyin asked us to find a kind of official, maybe just to ask, and there is no other meaning."

These arrests are very slippery, the other party is the son and nephew of the seed master, not an ordinary person, of course it is impossible to forcibly arrest him, everyone gossiped: "Since the seed officials think that they have not set slaves and kill people, then they must make it clear, otherwise it will be worth the loss if they are falsely accused." ”

Chong Lin nodded, "I'm going to Kaifeng Mansion to make it clear, it's my responsibility, I admit it, it's not my responsibility, and I don't want to plant it on my head if it's not my responsibility." ”

Chong Lin still didn't realize that he had fallen into someone else's trap, and someone was waiting for him to go to Kaifeng Mansion!

．．．．．．．．

Liang Shicheng was quite busy in the past two days, and Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, decided to hold a grand triumphal ceremony in order to commend the Eastern Route Army of the Northern Expedition, and handed over Liang Shicheng to be fully responsible.

In the morning, Liang Shicheng just walked into the Huangyi Gate, but saw Yin Wang Ding of Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Ding's appointment as Yin of Kaifeng Mansion was the result of the exchange of interests between Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao in the Fan Dang case.

Wang Ding is of course an important chess piece of Liang Shicheng, before Li Yanqing broke through Yanjing City, Li Yanqing's importance in Liang Shicheng's heart is far less than Wang Ding, even if he is popular now, he is at the same level as Wang Ding at most, which shows Liang Shicheng's importance to Wang Ding.

"Youji, what's the matter?"

Wang Ding hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "There is something I want to report to Taifu first." ”

"Oh! Let's go to the official room and say it! ”

Liang Shicheng never shied away from Wang Ding as his person in front of outsiders, these are open secrets, even Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, knows that Liang Shicheng's power is not only Yushitai, but even Kaifeng Mansion is his sphere of influence.

Of course, as long as Liang Shicheng obediently listens to his own words and helps himself fight against the civilian clique, Zhao Ji will not care too much about these so-called spheres of influence.

Wang Ding followed Liang Shicheng into the official room, and Liang Shicheng waved his hand and said, "Sit down!" ”

"Xiaguan should report to Taifu first!"

Liang Shicheng nodded, sat down and asked, "Say it!" What's the matter? ”

"That's right, there was a case in Kaifeng Mansion yesterday, which may have something to do with the Seed Master Dao."
