Wei Liangqing, a brocade-clothed man with his head bowed, is a close relative and nephew of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian clan, and a true cronie personally promoted by the nine-thousand-year-old after taking power.

Therefore, they are much closer to each other than simple bosses and subordinates.

"Report to my uncle, there are some clues on the child's side."

The words of the brocade-clothed man shocked the gloomy spirit of the nine thousand years old, and he leaned forward slightly to listen carefully.

"According to Dongchang's secret letter, the bamboo and stone Lin Pingzhi from Fuzhou once met the nobleman and her maid on the way out of Fuzhou."

"And in the past half a month, after he stepped into the vicinity of Jingshi, there were two more strange sons by his side."

"The child is suspicious, suspicious of those two ······"

At the end of Wei Liangqing's words, the brocade-clothed man deliberately paused slightly.

And the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was sitting on the rattan chair, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, combined with the information he had learned from all sides during this time, quickly spoke.

"Liangqing suspects that those two sons are the nobles we are looking for and her maids?"

"Well, it's a possibility!"

In the secret letter handed over by Dongchang, the original pursuit plan was carried out well, and the closest thing was to success, and Li Yao, the criminal officer of the hundred households in Dongchang, was only a few miles away from that nobleman.

But after meeting Lin Pingzhi, the nobleman's movement disappeared completely.

It was not that Lin Pingzhi had not been suspicious before, but Lin Pingzhi's high-profile approach was not in line with the style of harboring important criminals; On the other hand, his every move was on the bright side, and the officials and gentry greeted him along the way, so that the forces in the shadows of Jinyiwei and Dongchang had no way to start.

Of course, on the bright side, Jinyiwei also has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials and scholars, but that requires a clear decree from the Son of Heaven.

And when today's son is seriously ill after all, it is impossible for Wei Zhongxian to go to the seriously ill Son of Heaven to ask for advice in order to find out a Lin Pingzhi.

"Uncle really knows everything, and the child thinks the same."

Wei Liangqing, a man in brocade, took the opportunity to present a sycophant, which made Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting high, feel a little relaxed, and the corners of his mouth showed a look of understanding.

Standing up, with his hands behind the gorgeous Bingbi eunuch suit, Wei Zhongxian stepped off the rattan chair and walked back and forth in quiet contemplation.

That nobleman's departure from home was originally a matter that belonged to the Zongren Mansion, and he shouldn't have been so diligently searching.

But the noble man's father, after all, is the emperor's own brother, and the reason for running away from home is also to seek the elixir for the emperor's illness.

Alas!

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian sighed in his heart.

It's all the blame for the rumors that Donglin has put out against the corrupt officials and the rumors, saying that he is doing what kind of conspiracy, taking advantage of the emperor's illness and cholera to take sole power in the court, and the nobleman and his father who have mistaken me a lot!

God has mercy!

He is 9,000 years old, his net worth, his life, glory and wealth are all tied to the safety of the emperor, and he definitely dares to say that he is the one who sincerely hopes that the emperor is well!

If you want to seek an elixir for the emperor's illness, our family will not say that we will send someone to help, but we will definitely not stop it!

Thinking of that noble man's father, who had a close relationship with some officials in Donglin during this time, Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed a trace of depression, and he looked up at Wang Tiqian, the eunuch with palm prints who was still prostrate on the ground, and said in a deep voice.

"At noon today, when our family was serving the emperor to take medicine, the emperor also asked about that nobleman."

"It's also a good thing that she's going back to Beijing soon, and it must also make the emperor let go of some of the worries in his heart."

"Wang Tiqian, just send some people from Dongchang to secretly escort them into Beijing smoothly, don't have any more accidents!"

"Yes, Ancestor."

Hearing the words of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian, who was prostrate on the ground, hurriedly stood up, half-bowed in front of the old ancestor, and said respectfully.

"However, the child still has an idea, he wants to report to his ancestors!"

Just learned that it was Lin Pingzhi who deceived his subordinates, causing him to almost fail to complete the task and was angered by his ancestors, Wang Tiqian, who was not big in his heart, could be said to be completely jealous of Lin Pingzhi.

But in the end, it was an old silver coin that had been playing with intrigues and tricks for many years, and after understanding the current situation, a brilliant idea came to Wang Tiqian's heart.

"Say!"

"The child suggested that the ancestor should not secretly guard, but find out his identity and send a brigade of people from Dongchang to escort the noble man with great fanfare."

This dog thing, dare to doubt his own decision?

Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows a little displeased, but he didn't show his heart, but said flatly.

"Oh? Why is that? ”

"Ancestor, that noble man is Lin Pingzhi, who is new to Donglin, and he has gone through ups and downs all the way, and he has reached Beiping together!"

"This lonely man and widow have been running for months all the way, who knows if there is a ······ on the way"

Wang Tiqian's words echoed in the house in this deep palace, although his words were only half spoken, but the meaning contained in them made our nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian's eyes really brighten!

As the most famous bamboo and stone talent in the younger generation of Donglin literati, Lin Pingzhi, although because he was young and did not take power, he was not a mortal enemy that Wei Zhongxian wanted to get rid of immediately.

But its huge reputation and bright future look bright, but it is indeed a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the eunuch faction bosses, no matter how you look at it, it is not pleasing to the eye, and the negative evaluation of it has been repeated in the internal deliberations of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

The reason why Li Yao, the criminal officer of the 100 households in Dongchang, wanted to intercept and kill Lin Pingzhi as soon as they met was also affected by this.

If, as Wang Tiqian said, the itinerary of him and the nobleman all the way to the lonely man and widow is disclosed from the side, then in this Ming Dynasty, where etiquette is strict, even if it is for the sake of the royal family's face, there are only two choices - either recruit Lin Pingzhi as a son-in-law, or kill Lin Pingzhi to show his innocence.

It can be said that no matter which choice is made, it will be beneficial and harmless to the eunuchs.

Although with Lin Pingzhi's identity, it is estimated that it is unlikely that he will be killed to show his innocence, but if he chooses to become the husband of the noble daughter of the clan, he can also achieve the goal of weakening the younger generation of Donglin by the eunuch party.

You must know that the iron law of "horses and guests are not allowed to enter the office, and their sons are not allowed to serve in the Beijing rank" in the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is not a simple joke······

————————————————

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is another sunny day.

Lin Pingzhi and Zhou Yuanning's convoy stopped moving forward when they were only ten miles away from the capital city of Beiping.

Zhou Yu, who was called Miss, stood in front of Lin Pingzhi prettyly, took off her veil for the first time, revealing a beautiful and moving face.

Although she was born noble, in the past circle, she really had never come into contact with a handsome man like Lin Pingzhi.

In addition, after being together for so many days, she also participated in so many literati poetry meetings with Lin Pingzhi, and she admired Lin Pingzhi's talent from later generations at the poetry meeting.

The two were added, and the sorrow of parting surged into this girl's heart, and she said to Lin Pingzhi with red eyes.

"Little girl, here I wish Lin Gongzi can be on the gold list·······"

Unfortunately, before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer to the convoy.

The cavalry of the Jinyi Guard galloped over, waving the flag, but it was the younger brother of today's son, the banner of King Xin.

At present, there are many convoys on the official road, and the cavalry is galloping, and the merchants along the road are hurriedly dodging, so that the head of the horse dart guarding Lin Ping and his pedestrians is slightly relieved, and he feels that this group of people should not be coming for himself and others.

But he never expected it.

Less than twenty paces away from Lin Pingzhi's convoy of the Fuwei Dart Bureau, the cavalry turned over and dismounted, put away their weapons and bowed half-kneeling.

The leader was a eunuch in charge of the Xinwang Mansion who was wearing a brown servant robe, he trotted over with a surprise smile, and respectfully prostrate in front of Zhou Yuanning, who was standing next to Lin Pingzhi and whose face changed slightly in an instant.

"Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of the palace, welcomes the county lord back to Beijing."

His voice was loud, causing an uproar among the caravan civilians on the official road······
