Sold to Qinglou?

Feng Qing paused wildly, thinking to herself, although her identity is a subordinate, she was hired by the Lin family, not bought, she is a person with a free body, Lin Yunqi said that she will sell it? This eldest lady of the Lin family is really good!

"Yes, the slave obeys the orders of the eldest lady."

Lin Yunqi saw that she was quite obedient, so she didn't feel much embarrassed, snorted, turned her head and went back to the backyard.

And Feng Qingyan originally needed to stay here to do things, and she could only leave if she was ordered by the master or housekeeper, but Lin Yunqi just ordered her not to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again, and with this excuse, she didn't need to worry about explaining to the housekeeper anymore, and left directly.

About half an hour later, Dongmei came back from the front yard, and Feng Qingfang couldn't wait to ask, "Dongmei, where is His Royal Highness the Prince?" Did he stay in the Lin family? ”

Dongmei was a little surprised, shook her head and said: "No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already asked people to find an inn in the city to settle down, saying that he doesn't want to bother the Lin family for too long, and now he has gone to the inn." ”

"Gently, why do you care so much about the prince's movements? Do you want to ...... Gently, if the eldest lady knew that you had wrong thoughts about His Royal Highness the Prince, she would definitely not spare you, you still ......"

"Where did you think you went?" Feng interrupted her with a maniacian chuckle, "How could I possibly have any thoughts about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Just curious about where he would settle down, nothing else. ”

Hearing this, Dongmei finally stretched her eyebrows, nodded and said, "It's good if you don't have it, you just came and didn't know, the eldest lady is a little ...... is tricky and mean, and the people in the house are afraid of her, especially the maids, but anyone who looks a little better usually doesn't dare to dress up too much. ”

"Why?" Feng asked curiously, and then remembered Lin Jingsong's character, and couldn't help but chuckle: "In order to escape the eyes of the second young master?" ”

Dongmei nodded and said: "That's also on the one hand, on the other hand, it is to avoid being scolded by the eldest lady, the eldest lady doesn't like someone to dress up too brightly and steal her limelight, so most of the maids around her are plain and never wear makeup, even the second lady in order to let her, usually only apply a little fat powder, wear plain clothes, and don't wear any jewelry." ”

Feng was speechless, is Lin Yunqi so domineering? Do you have to be a foil to everyone around you? Even Lin Yunshu has to let her?

"When I was in the hall before, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at you, I saw that the eldest lady seemed to be about to eat your heart, you have to be careful."

"I see, be careful in the future."

At this moment, most of her thoughts were on Mu Liancheng, and she was in no mood to care about other things at all, so she fell silent again after answering her heart with a heavy heart.

Early the next morning, Lin Yutang came to the inn alone according to Mu Liancheng's intentions.

At this time, Mu Liancheng had just finished breakfast and was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.

Eryou came over and reported: "Your Highness, Mr. Lin is here." ”

"Invite him in." Mu Liancheng closed the book in his hand and stood up to greet him.

Lin Yutang walked into the courtyard gate and bowed down to salute, but was dragged by Mu Liancheng's wrist.

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be polite, so it's better to be casual, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Lin Yutang straightened up and waited for Mu Liancheng to sit back before taking a seat opposite him.

"There is a very important matter in this palace that I want to ask Mr. for help, and it is inconvenient to say it in a crowded place, so I have to invite Mr. to the inn, don't be surprised."

Lin Yutang arched his hand and said, "Don't dare, I don't know what His Highness commands?" ”

Mu Liancheng didn't answer immediately, but suddenly asked, "I don't know if you have heard that the northern border was invaded by the Great Qiang Army a month ago?" ”

"I've heard a little." Lin Yutang subconsciously furrowed his brows.

It was one night a month ago, the enemy army suddenly broke through Beiyang Pass, burned and looted in Yuancheng and Burnt City, and did all kinds of evil, many people were slaughtered, and the buildings in the city were burned, and the lives were destroyed.

It is not uncommon for the Daqiang people to be murderous since ancient times, and to make a living by robbing the property of other countries, but the Great Yan State is strong, and the Beiyang Pass is as strong as a rock, and it cannot be easily broken.

Decades ago, the previous monarch of Daqiang led the national army to conquer the pass, and it took three full months to capture the Beiyang Pass.

This time, the enemy army only lasted one night, and there were less than 60,000 men and horses, which is simply appalling and incredible.

Putting aside the claims of some strange forces in the market, the only reasonable explanation is that there are internal ghosts.

In fact, half a month later, a deputy general of Beiyang Pass fled back to the capital with injuries and reported that Luo Du, the guard of Beiyang Pass, colluded with foreign enemies and privately entered the customs of Qiang merchants, resulting in the loss of Beiyang Pass and the suffering of the people.

After the emperor learned the truth, he immediately ordered the arrest of Luo Du, but when the order was issued to Beiyang Pass, Luo Di had already committed suicide with his wife and Xiao Wei.

It is said that the entire Luo Mansion was burned down by Luo Du, and there was no evidence of collusion with foreign enemies.

The emperor thought that Luo Huang must have someone at a higher level behind him to control and instruct, otherwise he would not have such courage as a small guard.

So he ordered the Criminal Department to conduct a thorough investigation.

In the past half a month, a total of more than a dozen officials, big and small, have been involved, causing panic in the DPRK and China, until finally all the evidence and witnesses are pointed to one person - General Zhenguo, that is, the queen's brother and the prince's uncle Yang Xian.

In fact, in the process of the officials being involved one after another, Mu Liancheng was already vigilant, because more than half of them belonged to the prince's supporters, and it was obvious that someone was manipulating all this behind him, and his ultimate target was him.

But because the matter is so big, no one can stop it from continuing to develop, and Mu Liancheng can only try to be prepared and observe secretly.

A few days ago, Yang Xian was imprisoned, and the forbidden army searched for several letters between him and the king of Daqiang in Yang's mansion and handed them to the emperor.

Mu Liancheng naturally couldn't let things develop like this, so he went to the emperor to intercede and persuade him to spare Yang Xian's family for the sake of the loyalty of the Yang family.

But the emperor has been completely confused by the so-called evidence, and refuses to listen to persuasion at all, Mu Liancheng has no choice but to beg the emperor to give him half a month, if he can come up with evidence to prove that Yang Xian is innocent, the emperor should release the Yang family, if not, he will be punished together.

The emperor didn't agree at first, but he couldn't resist Mu Liancheng's repeated begging, and finally gave him this opportunity.

Mu Liancheng knew that it was impossible to change the testimony of those witnesses, and the only thing that could be changed was the dead thing.

That is, the letters found in Yang's mansion, although the letters were not written by Yang Xian, the handwriting was exactly the same as his, and there was no difference at all.

Of course, this is for ordinary people, Mu Liancheng knows that real calligraphy can be seen differently according to the subtleties.

And Lin Yutang is a person with such ability.

As early as more than ten years ago, he was famous for his ability to accurately identify handwriting and help the government crack several criminal cases, and it was from then on that his talent began to be famous throughout the country.

Lin Yutang can be said to be quite accomplished in the identification of handwriting, so the identification results he made are quite convincing, and Mu Liancheng can rest assured that he can identify the authenticity of those letters.

In order to avoid any accidents on the road, he had to come over in person.

"This palace naturally believes in the innocence of the general, but those letters are there, and it is useless for the palace to defend him, only to ask Mr. to go to the capital with me to identify the handwriting in the letter to see if it is from the hand of the general, and the truth will naturally be revealed at that time."

Listening to Mu Liancheng's words, Lin Yutang's brows furrowed even tighter.

It seems that he only needs to identify the handwriting and tell the truth the result, and other things have nothing to do with him, but in fact he has been pushed to the forefront, no matter what the final result is, he is destined to offend one side.

Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hopes that he will give a result in favor of Yang Xian, which is why he treats him so politely and generously now, if in the end he finds out that those letters are indeed written by Yang Xian, won't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hate him to the core?

Mu Liancheng saw that Lin Yutang was hesitating, and he also understood what he was worried about, so he spoke to reassure: "Sir, don't worry, this palace wants a truth, if General Yang really colluded with Daqiang and killed so many people in Dayan, this palace will never shield it, and it will never be angry with Mr. Yu." ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Yutang relaxed a little, and said: "The Yang family has been a general for generations, loyal and good, and General Yang is a great hero of the Great Yan Kingdom's repeated military exploits, and the grass people believe that he will not do anything to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, in order to prove his innocence, the grass people are willing to go on this trip with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Mu Liancheng smiled happily, picked up the teacup and said, "Then the palace is here to replace the wine with tea, thank you, sir." ”

In the end, Mu Liancheng decided to rush back to the capital with Lin Yutang two days later.

After Lin Yutang returned to the Lin Mansion, he told his family the news that he was going to leave for a few days, but because Mu Liancheng asked not to disclose the incident to anyone for the time being, he did not explain what he was going to the capital for.

This caused infinite conjecture from others, especially Lin Yuhui, who had previously begged Lin Yutang to say good things for Lin Jingsong in front of the prince, but was refused.

And Lin Yutang also warned him that he must stay away from the prince, but now it's good, he went to the prince by himself, how could he not be annoyed?

"Father, what are you doing walking around here? My head is dizzy, so you can rest! Lin Jingsong crossed Erlang's legs, leaned on the soft couch, and read a book while eating fruit.

Of course, what he is reading is not a serious book like poetry and poetry, but a new book that has recently been released, which talks about some ups and downs, and most of the content that those self-proclaimed talented literati and writers are ashamed of.

In the Lin family, only Lin Jingsong will buy it.
