Chapter 66: The Truth That Doesn't Really Matter
Bu Tong decisively chose to stay by Tang Xuanlin's side for lunch and then go back.
Since noon, a young brocade guard has stood on the side of the door from time to time to reply,
"Lord Overseer, someone from the Six Princes' Mansion has arrived."
"Lord Overseer, the Six Princes' Mansion has sent someone again."
"Overseer, two more stewards have come to the Six Princes' Mansion to ask to see you."
"My lord, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is here in person."
……
Mu Hequan came in person?
Bu Tong bit the chicken leg and looked up at Tang Xuanlin, Tang Xuanlin looked at him with a comfortable appearance, and the hand that put the vegetables in the bowl for Bu Tong did not stop for a moment, and spoke to the person outside the door,
"Do you know what to say?"
The Jinyi guard outside the door quickly continued to reply, "Your Excellency, Lord Overseer was seriously injured by the assassin a few days ago, and now it has been repeated, and he has a high fever for several days. ”
Tang Xuanlin said "um" as an answer, and the people outside the door retreated.
Bu Tong swallowed a big mouthful of chicken legs, and looked at Tang Xuanlin, who was not in a hurry to eat, with some sarcasm,
"Fang just injured other people's families, blood was splashed all over the ground with his bare hands, and now with such words, Mu Hequan is not a fool, he must have guessed that you are lying."
Tang Xuanlin nodded briskly,
"I think he knows that I'm lying, and he can probably guess that I'm taking him for a fool, but I'm an impregnable factory, and it's not so easy to bring people over from me, so it's interesting to guess."
Bu Tong stretched out his thumb approvingly,
"Such a hooligan and scoundrel behavior, Xuanlin learned the essence."
Tang Xuanlin smiled reluctantly,
"You don't have to praise it, I don't really want it."
……
When Bu Tong walked out of the gate of the East Factory, it happened that the carriage of the Six Princes' Mansion had not yet left, and a person stepped forward to greet Bu Tong.
"The girl is the lord of Changping?"
Bu Tong looked at the top of the man's head and nodded, "Exactly." ”
When the people in front of him heard the words, they did a deeper salute, "His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince invited the county lord to see him, and he also asked the lady to move." ”
Bu Tong looked at the familiar carriage in front of him and nodded happily, "Please lead the way." ”
Mu Hequan, the situation is not as good as it was back then, but I want to see what tricks you can play.
The carriage of the Nanguo Mansion followed the carriage of the Six Princes' Mansion and slowly drove towards the city, until it reached a familiar place, the Laofu Teahouse.
Butong got out of the car and looked at the plaque,
"I don't know, which board play is being sung today?"
"Whichever place the county lord wants to hear, just order them to sing, and your subordinates will go and order." Behind him came the voice of the man who had just come to speak.
Your Majesty?
It doesn't seem to be an ordinary family member.
Bu Tong looked back, and saw that this person finally raised his head and showed his face, his appearance was deep, and his face was full of treachery, but he really didn't look like an ordinary family member, but he looked away.
"Who are you?"
The person on the other side hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, "Your Majesty Si Lin of the Ministry of Works, I have seen the county lord's mother." ”
The Six Princes' Mansion, that Lin uncle?
"It turned out to be Master Si," Bu Tong watched Mu Hequan come from behind, and then frowned and wanted to leave,
"I don't have much to watch with adults, and I'm already very tired from treating patients, so I'll leave first."
"Ah Tong," Mu Hequan hurriedly shouted to Bu Tong in the back,
"Master Si wanted to find an opportunity to explain Yu'er's accident to you, so I should give me a face, go in and sit down for a while and eat a pot of tea, okay?"
Bu Tong looked at his dignified face, suppressed the disgust in his heart, and forced a sad and embarrassed look,
"Sixth Highness, my patriarch's sister's cardamom years are fragrant and jade, which makes me believe that the Lin family, the culprit who bullied her the day before the accident, was innocent, I will definitely not accept it, not only me, but the Nanguo Mansion will not give up, Your Majesty personally pointed out the marriage, and now he wants to give us an explanation."
Si Lin looked humble, his head bowed deeply, "I also ask Miss Rong to say a few words, not to get rid of the crime, but to be an official in Kyoto City, and the ministers and Nanguo Gong and Xiaobu see each other every day, and it is really difficult to work together with the mustard in my heart." ”
Bu Tong sneered,
"Did Your Highness the Sixth hear it? Lord Si is not using his father and brother to press me, is it possible that your niece killed someone, and my father and brother still have to be ashamed in front of you? Or do you have no intention of being loyal to Your Majesty because we have not forgiven the culprit? ”
As soon as these words came out, Si Lin's greasy and sophisticated face retracted for a moment, and he only lowered his head and repeated, "The county lord has misunderstood his subordinates, and his subordinates are loyal to His Majesty, and their hearts are for the people, and they will never cause government affairs to be lost because of their own mistakes and omissions." ”
Bu Tong coldly "snorted" and didn't look at him, Si Lin went to see Mu Hequan in embarrassment, and Mu Hequan made a "please" action,
"Lord Nanguo will always want an explanation, Ah Tong might as well listen to it."
Since he is here, he naturally wants a statement, after all, Bu Tong has no "eldest sister", and it is not an exaggeration to have some temper, but since the prince has lowered his body, it is a bit too pretentious to be too pretentious, Bu Tong thought of this, gave Si Lin an unceremonious white eye, lifted his skirt and walked into the old father's teahouse.
The shopkeeper had already emptied the teahouse and waited for the three distinguished guests, but it was rare in the afternoon, but it was so quiet that there was not even a single figure.
The three of them went to the main wing room on the second floor and sat down, the shopkeeper had already placed tea and snacks and fruits, and quickly retreated when he saw a few people sitting down, only a few small people followed behind the three of them, and the commander poured tea for Butong flatteringly, "The county lord Niangniang, the minister was also a student under the Bu Daren, Huangbang High School, enrolled in Hanlin, and the Bu Daren was in charge of the ministry, and he was honest and strict, and he was a model for my generation." ”
Bu Tong knew what he was hinting at, it was nothing more than that Bu Yu was misbehaving, and everyone knew about the previous incident, and his family upbringing was to be verified, so he glanced at him unceremoniously,
"What do you mean, sir? Do you suspect that my father is teaching his children wrong? My step family is full of loyal ministers, father and brother into the office, although Bu Tong is a daughter, but also for the country to be awarded, the eldest sister at home as a girl, gentle and elegant, the most virtuous, that in Kyoto City is also famous, why once killed others in vain, adults came to question my father? ”
After saying that, he was about to leave, "Sixth Highness, Tong'er admires you as a person, so she entered this door, but she didn't want to suffer such a big humiliation and affect the family, so she took her leave." ”
Mu Hequan stretched out his hand to stop Butong,
"Ah Tong is not in a hurry, it is Lord Si who is straightforward for a while, we didn't sit down today to talk about merit, don't you want to hear about Yu'er?"
Bu Tong had to sit back "embarrassed", "Then please explain in detail, don't talk about innocent people." ”
Si Lin hurriedly apologized with a smile, "It's the subordinates who are clumsy, and they offended the county lord and the lord for a while, and the subordinates have made amends." ”
Only then did Mu Hequan officially speak, "On the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, I have already reprimanded the Lin family, although the Lin family is a bit arrogant, but she just has a big personality, but in fact it is not bad, she made such a fuss, and was reprimanded when she returned to the house, so she was very sad." ”
Bu Tong thought about the arrogant face of the Lin family that day, and naturally knew that Mu Hequan was, but he didn't expose him, just listened quietly, Mu Hequan thought that Bu Tong believed it, and continued more sincerely,
"Yu'er is warm-hearted and thoughtful, and she doesn't want her sisters to be so resentful, so she carefully persuaded them, and the two went to the lotus pond for a walk, Yu'er accidentally slipped under her feet, and fell down, Lin fell hard in order to save her, and broke her arm before she could save Yu'er, and the ice on the lotus pond didn't expect to be overwhelmed, and it cracked straight and dropped Yu'er......"
The corners of Bu Tong's mouth trembled uncontrollably, this explanation is really far-fetched, these two people treat themselves as fools, right?
Si Lin also came over with a sincere look, "The county lord's mother doesn't know, my nephew's women's football team is a paper tiger, looking alive all day long, but in fact he is a very kind person in private, because he didn't save Miss Bu, but he has been sad for many days." ”
Paper tiger?
Extremely kind?
I'm afraid this person has a deep misunderstanding of these two words, right? That Lin family, regardless of his identity and position, in front of a table full of noble ladies and ladies, openly provoked and spoke ill words, what kind of intentions was that?
Bu Tong pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled,
"Do you need me to comfort the Lin family?"
Si Lin's flattered face replied repeatedly, "That is naturally the best ......"
"Master Si is joking," Mu Hequan hurriedly interrupted when he saw the cold light in Bu Tong's eyes,
"The Nanguo Mansion lost its beloved daughter, the main hall lost its beloved concubine, and the Lin family's rescue failed, although there is no need to blame her, but there is no need to appease her too much."
Si Lin repeatedly said, "Yes." ”
Bu Tong only thought it was funny, such a stupid and ignorant person could be a waiter, what has become of the court today?
The old man downstairs "babbled" and sang the board play, but it was not as good as the people upstairs singing and singing more excitingly, after a few rounds, it was Bu Yu who died in vain, and Lin became a kind-hearted poor man, what kind of person can do this irresponsible?
Thinking of this, Bu Tong looked at the humane and sanctimonious hypocrisy on the other side, and deeply doubted that he was probably not as simple as being blind in his previous life.
Most of the time it's lard that blinds the heart.
Mu Hequan looked at Bu Tong sincerely,
"Ah Tong, Lord Nanguo must be very sad, and he is also sad below, but the matter has come to this point, don't hurt the harmony of the two families, as for the ...... of the East Factory."
Butong looked innocent,
"What does it have to do with the East Factory?"
Mu Hequan paused, "The people from Dongchang are secretly investigating this matter, isn't it the instruction of Master Bu?" ”
Butong was taken aback,
"What does Your Highness mean by this? What kind of people are those in Dongchang, how can they obey my father's orders, and besides, although Tang Xuanlin has lived in our house for a while to recuperate, it is also because he has a life-saving grace for me, my father has always been upright and clear, and he does not want to provoke the current magnates for his daughter. ”
Mu Hequan nodded,
"It's the same, Lord Nanguo, you must disdain to beg that eunuch."
