Just when Lin Yunxin went to find Yin Tingyao.

Imperial capital.

The Imperial Study.

The emperor looked at Lin Xuhuai and Lin Jingli, the two fathers and sons kneeling in front of him, and then looked at the exquisite military array they presented and the many fine bows and crossbows left over from the Tang Dynasty.

"Good! Lin Aiqing lived up to my expectations. The Emperor laughed.

Not long ago, the old man Lin went to the emperor, personally took his son Lin Jingli and the deputy general of the forbidden army to the ancestral house of the Lin family day and night, and happened to arrive at the same time as the people led by Lin Jingyi.

Not only that, but during this period, there was also a fire in the northern granary, but fortunately, the emperor had already listened to the advice of Xu Chunzhi and Lin Yunxin, and the plank road was darkened, and the grain and grass had already been transferred to other places, leaving only an empty shell there to attract attention.

The fire did not bring a fatal blow to the north.

These two things are in front of him, the emperor feels that his destiny is returned, and there are many people under his hands, how can he be displeased?

At this moment, "Your Majesty, a great happy event, congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" The chief eunuch hurried into the imperial study, his face full of joy.

The emperor knew that he, the chief eunuch, had always been a serious minister, and if he could be so happy, this matter must be extraordinary: "Oh? Let's see, what else is there to celebrate? ”

"Yes, General Yuan Huanliang and Zhao Xiaofeng, the acting leader of Long Mingwei, are outside the palace, why don't you summon the two of them to tell you in person?" The chief eunuch laughed.

"Okay, Xuan!"

"See the emperor!" Yuan Huanliang and Zhao Xiaofeng finished their salutes, quickly met Yuan Huanlang and Lin Yunxin in Huaizhou, and cooperated through Cangzhou, Liangzhou, and Luzhou to provoke grain price fluctuations, buy grain and grass, and transport them to the north by water to report to the emperor.

"At present, the grain and grass have arrived in the imperial capital one after another, and the emperor can inspect it at any time." Yuan Huanliang said.

After listening carefully to Zhao Xiaofeng's report on the amount of grain and grass, the emperor got up in surprise: "Is this really the case?" Ok, good, good! He said a few good things in a row, "There is no place to find the real iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them." ”

The emperor paused slightly: "...... the silver to buy grain and grass?" ”

"Your Majesty, the silver is from the Li family." Zhao Xiaofeng said.

"The Li family?" The Emperor said.

"It's Miss Lin's grandmother, the Li family."

The emperor's eyes were slightly stunned, and he suddenly came back to his senses: "The Li family, the richest man in Jiangnan? ”

"Exactly."

"Hmm......" the emperor nodded slightly, "Well, now that there is enough food and grass, there is no need to worry." Zhao Xiaofeng! ”

"Wechen is here!"

"I ordered you to gather 100,000 troops, set off in full gear, and wave the army south!" The emperor waved his hand.

"Minister, obey!" Zhao Xiaofeng's spirit was shocked, and he said. Finally, he can pick up the boss!

A few days later, Huaizhou.

"Miss, it's been so windy these two days, and it hasn't rained, it's cold and dry." In the Deren Hall, Ning Cui looked at the sky outside like a black whirlwind, and said to Lin Yunxin.

Lin Yunxin glanced at the sky: "Yes, it's a good season." ”

"What's the good season? What are you talking about? Is the weather good? How I don't think. Yuan Yuxin also entered the house at this time, she just went to the yard to fight a set of punches, and the whole person was steaming.

Lin Yunxin smiled: "Isn't the south warmer than the north?" In the imperial capital, I am afraid that every household will have to surround the stove and ondol. ”

"It's true that it's warm, but it's not home after all, and there's less freedom." Yuan Yuxin shrugged.

Lin Yunxin smiled: "Don't worry. "The weather came at the right time, and it wasn't far from freedom.

"By the way, I heard that tomorrow is the Winter Festival, it seems to be a unique festival in the south, it is said that every household will hang lanterns, and there are many lantern markets on the street, should we go?" Yuan Yuxin asked excitedly.

Lin Yunxin shook her head: "There are too many people on the street, so let's not go to that bustle." ”

"Why? Go, such a rare festival, how boring it is to stay here all the time, besides......" Yuan Yuxin subconsciously glanced at the surveillance maid who was guarding the side, and pouted.

Lin Yunxin understood what she meant, there were many people in chaos, and it was naturally easy to run away and make trouble. But she and Xu Chunzhi had already arranged it, so there was no need for them to run around.

Lin Yunxin still shook her head, and Wen Ning smiled: "Yuxin, be obedient." ”

"Okay then." Yuan Yuxin pursed her mouth, every time Lin Yunxin laughed like this, she didn't have a rut, it was more useful than her father and mother to say a thousand things and ten thousand, and I don't know if it was sent by God to restrain her, "Listen to your general line, right?" ”

"Well, Yuxin is the best!" Lin Yunxin smiled brightly.

Early the next morning, on the day of the Winter Festival.

It was rare for Lin Yunxin not to go to Derentang for a consultation, and took Yuan Yuxin, Ning Cui, and Haishan to toss lanterns in the house.

"You say the price of food in the city has changed?" Huaizhou Pastoral Mansion, in the hall, Yin Tingyao listened to Steward Tang's report.

"Yes, there has been grain flowing out of the city to the neighboring Luzhou before, but at least there is not much fluctuation in the city, but recently there are also people in the city who have begun to stir up the wind and rain, and have provoked grain price fluctuations several times, selling high and sucking low, thinking that someone is making the difference from it." Steward Tang said.

"Not necessarily, perhaps...... The other party really needs food and grass. Yin Tingyao's expression froze, "Did you find out who is and where?" ”

"It's a group of businessmen from Luzhou, currently in the south of the city."

"South of the city, that is to say, close to the canal." Yin Tingyao groaned, and suddenly got up, "Order all the people and follow me!" ”

The streets were crowded with people, and although the weather was dry and the wind was blowing, and the lanterns were bumping outside the house, it did not reduce the interest of the tourists, and Yin Tingyao's soldiers and horses soon drowned into the crowd.

The lanterns in Huaizhou's pastoral mansion were colorful, and Yuan Yuxin pulled Ning Cui to tie the lanterns together, poking the rabbit lanterns drawn by Lin Yunxin, and had a lot of fun.

Lin Yunxin handed over a few packets of medicinal powder to Haishan, who had already changed into a strong suit that was convenient for movement, and said, "Just today." You know the use. ”

Today's day couldn't be more suitable.

"Yes!" can finally get rid of the identity of the maid and resume as a dragon Mingwei to perform the task, Haishan simply answered the way neatly, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in a flash.

"Huh?" Yuan Yuxin raised her head consciously, "It's strange, what about Haishan?" Why didn't you see her? ”

Lin Yunxin smiled slightly: "I just told her to go to the kitchen to do something." ”

"Oh, are you hungry?"

Lin Yunxin said: "We've been playing with lanterns in the house, and we really feel like something is missing, why don't we take some people out to play?" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Yuxin's eyes lit up, "Okay, okay!" I've said it a long time ago.,I've been playing nothing in the house.,Of course you have to go to the market to play! She opened her mouth and smiled brightly, holding a lantern in one hand and putting her arm around Lin Yunxin's shoulder.

"Good. Then let's report to Steward Tang. ”

In the evening, the lights come on.

The streets were crowded with shouting hawkers, children running around, many young men and women dating and looking at each other, and in addition to the Huaizhou Guards and Yin Tingyao, who were in full swing to track down the criminals.

"Your Excellency, as you expected, they ended up fleeing to the edge of the canal?" A Huaizhou guard said to Yin Tingyao, who was holding a lantern on the side of the street.

"Hmm." Yin Tingyao put down the lanterns, "Catch them, don't let them run around like rats anymore." "After being tricked by this group of guys for a long time, Yin Tingyao's patience ran out.

"Yes!" Huaizhou Wei took the order and left.

Yin Tingyao picked up the delicate lantern with the story of the phoenix again, felt that this thing was commensurate with Lin Yunxin, thought about it and put the lantern in his arms, ordered the guards to pay, and turned to leave.

However, not long after, on the side of the canal, just when the Huaizhou guards surrounded the other party and were about to catch people, several guards from the direction of the Huaizhou Pastoral Mansion panicked and found Yin Tingyao, and said in a trembling voice: "Young, young master, it's not good!" Madame is assassinated! The house is running water! ”

"What?" Yin Tingyao raised his eyebrows suddenly, "What's the matter?" ”

"No, I don't know, the thief got away with ......"

"Bastard!" Yin Tingyao was furious, and made a decision between lightning and flint, "You continue to arrest people!" Then he hurriedly turned around and left.

He can't bet.

Everything else is easy to say, but his mother, Princess Conglan, must not have an accident. Because she is the best person to prove his identity, without her, he will not be right, so she can't have anything, even if something happens, she must have an explanation!

Yin Tingyao led people to gallop wildly, but he couldn't help but think of a deeper layer in his heart: Mrs. assassination? What about Steward Tang? What about Lin Yunxin? Will there be something going on? Or is it ......?

He subconsciously doubted Lin Yunxin, but he was unwilling to doubt her deeply.

He frowned, only pulling the reins tighter, "Ride!" ”

At this time, a sky-high fire rose in the Huaizhou pastoral mansion.

The maids and nurses in the house were in a panic, extinguishing the fire, fleeing, and turning into a pot of porridge.

"Someone! Someone - what are you panicking about? What to run? What about Steward Tang? Where did Steward Tang go? The housekeeper of Princess Cong Lan's descendant was furious, he had just come back from outside and was startled when he saw the fireworks in the house, but the house was already in chaos, and almost no one was willing to listen to his orders.

Just when Steward Yue felt a little strange, a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the mansion, and Yin Tingyao dismounted and strode towards the mansion.

"Young Master!" Steward Yue immediately greeted him as if he had found the backbone.

"Fence up the house! Don't let a rat out, and those who violate the order will be killed! Yin Tingyao commanded, and went straight to the West Garden, where Princess Cong Lan was.

On the side of the canal, Lin Yunxin, Yuan Yuxin, Ning Cui and Haishan came to the boat very smoothly under the escort of Long Mingwei.

Until she got on the boat, Yuan Yuxin felt in the clouds, as if she was in a dream.

"Wait, we really escaped? I can't believe it! What the hell is going on? You're too powerful, aren't you? Yuan Yuxin twisted herself desperately and said in surprise.

Lin Yunxin smiled: "It can only be said that there is no danger." ”

Ning Cui was also relieved, and said happily: "At this time, the Huaizhou Pastoral Mansion must be in a mess, after all, their wife and the second housekeeper Tang Yao are both ...... It should too! Whoever told them to do all the bad things will also imprison us! ”

Lin Yunxin sighed slightly, she really didn't expect that at the last moment, Tang Yao would come forward to protect Princess Cong Lan and die for it.

Even the sea and mountains that shot were shaken.

She couldn't help but think of the shocked and heartbroken look in Princess Cong Lan when she watched Steward Tang fall, as if the beautiful things she had always cherished were shattered in front of her eyes, and she couldn't accept it no matter what. Even when she was stabbed to death by Haishan in the end, Princess Cong Lan didn't look up more, but just hugged the corpse of Steward Tang and didn't move......

After a slight pause, Lin Yunxin said: "Haishan, there is still something that must be handed over to you." ”

"Miss, please command."

Lin Yunxin lowered her voice and leaned into Haishan's ear: "Tell your lord, when he re-enters the imperial capital on the day of victory, he must return with a 'serious injury'." ”

Haishan's eyes froze: "Yes!" With the task in hand, she quickly disembarked and left.

"Huh? What's going on? How did she go down? Yuan Yuxin was a little surprised, she got along with Haishan these times, although she didn't talk much, but she was quite rare for this female master.

"Leave her to take care of some things, she's good at disguise, and she'll be fine." Lin Yunxin said.

"Oh. You're getting more and more unpredictable. Yuan Yuxin pouted, suddenly noticed that the boat was shaking, and said excitedly, "The boat is open?" That's great! ”

Lin Yunxin also smiled: "Yes, after waiting for this long time, it is finally opened." ”
