Chapter 162: The Matter Is Revealed
"That's not going to work." Lin Liang turned around and gently hugged Duan Ling back.
At this time, some of the maids who could look at their eyes had already retreated to the back.
"I said that I want to avoid the edge for the time being, if I stay in the capital alone, I will inevitably be targeted by the prince and his party, it is better to go with you, you will always protect me."
Lin Liang's eyes were full of trust, and when he saw Duan Ling, he suddenly felt that he only hoped that time would stop at this moment.
Duan Ling lowered his head slightly, and imprinted a kiss on Lin Liang's eyebrows, and then took her hand and came to the things that had been packed.
"Did you pack all this? Can you leave tomorrow? ”
"Yes, we can let the maid pack all these things tonight, and we will also prepare the carriage." Lin Liang pondered carefully.
"Don't worry about this, there are a lot of good horses in the stables in Fuzhong that travel thousands of miles a day, just bring those with you when the time comes."
However, after all, it was the last day of going to Luoyang in the city, and in the evening, both of them slept very early.
Sure enough, as soon as it was dawn on the second day, Duan Ling had already gotten out of bed and dressed.
When the maid came in to serve, she was sent out by Duan Ling with a wave of her hand.
After he cleaned up, Duan Ling asked the maid to put the breakfast in the house and ran to Lalin to cool off.
"Wen'er, get up quickly, it's ready early, and we'll go out with some."
"Okay." Lin Liang got up in a daze.
Worried about the long distance and taking the carriage, if you want to go out halfway, it will be a little inconvenient, so Lin Liang eats some glutinous rice rolls and the like, which are easy to fill.
Originally, it was smooth to go all the way.
But when they arrived in Luoyang and lived in the mansion of the local county magistrate, Lin Liang and Duan Ling were at a loss.
"It's been three days now, why haven't the relief supplies arrived?"
"I can't say for sure, this was ordered by my father, and it stands to reason that no one should be in the way."
"Have you ever thought about a person?" A touch of deep thought flashed in Lin Liang's eyes.
The prince has not been targeting Duan Ling for a day or two, knowing that this time he went to Luoyang with himself for disaster relief, if he said that he was making some small moves behind his back, it was really difficult to detect.
"You mean the prince?" Duan Ling was a little incredulous: "This is an order from my father and the emperor himself, how dare he!" ”
"Who knows? I thought that if I was the crown prince, there would always be a day when I would ascend to the sky in the future. ”
Lin Liang stayed in Luoyang every day, and saw that because of natural disasters, the people were poorly clothed and hungry, which was already extremely pitiful.
The county magistrate is also a man who understands righteousness, and he has already donated the food in his house, but in the end it is only a drop in the bucket.
Lin Liang gritted his teeth and looked at Duan Ling: "Now it's impossible to wait, if you don't distribute some food to the people, they will probably not survive tomorrow." ”
"But the food we brought has been handed over to the county order, and he has asked him to help distribute it." Duan Ling also looked worried.
"This time I also brought some jewelry from the dowry, which I could exchange for some silver for a while. It's a big deal to buy some rice and grain from other towns, and the people have to get through this first. ”
"So, there seems to be no better way."
Duan Ling nodded, and together with Lin Liang, he sold the gold, silver, and jewelry that he brought over this time.
For the time being, a lot of money was raised, and some food was bought and distributed to the victims.
Duan Ling had been secretly investigating the matter, and after the emperor gave the order, the crown prince would do things according to the order.
But after a long time, the disaster relief materials have not arrived, and Duan Ling checked it out.
Compile all the things that have been discovered recently into a document, and then let people fly pigeons to pass on the books and return to the capital.
"How could such a thing happen!" The emperor slapped his palm on the table, and the eunuchs below were startled.
"Your Majesty, but what's going on in Luoyang?"
"The prince is really good, I really gave birth to a good son!"
The emperor's eyes were breathing fire: "Go!" Tell the prince to roll over to me immediately! ”
"Yes, the old slave will do it!"
The father-in-law rarely saw the emperor lose his temper like this, not to mention that the person targeted was still the prince, so he ran over as soon as he slipped away.
Duan Beixuan originally stayed in his prince's mansion for a good time, and when he saw that his father-in-law had passed an edict, he asked him to enter the palace immediately.
Moreover, the expression on his father-in-law's face was not good-looking, and Duan Beixuan was already slightly nervous.
Packed himself up as quickly as possible, and when he arrived at the Taiji Palace, the emperor was already glaring at him.
The documents that Duan Ling had passed back were slammed on the prince's face, and the prince couldn't dodge for a while, and his whole face was turned to the side by being beaten, and he quickly knelt down.
"The sons don't know what they have done, which has caused their father to be so angry."
"I don't know? Then pick it up and give it to me to take a good look! ”
The emperor turned around angrily, not daring to imagine that this was something that the crown prince, who respected him very much, could do.
Duan Beixuan picked up the document on the ground, and after looking at it carefully, his face was completely bloodless.
"So, what else do you have to say?"
"Erchen...... Erchen didn't mean to! Please also ...... I also ask for my father's understanding. ”
The prince slammed his head on the ground and slammed his head several times. When he lifted it, his forehead was already stained with blood.
The emperor was still dissatisfied, and the red lacquer and jade pens and other things on the table were thrown on the prince's body.
"It was because I trusted you that I put you in charge of the delivery of materials from the capital to Luoyang, and now you are actually filling your own pockets?"
"Erchen is just confused for a while, instigated by his subordinates, and I ask my father to forgive me!"
The prince hung his head on the ground all the time, but he did not dare to say anything to defend himself.
"The matter has come to this point, immediately hand over the materials you stole before, and send them to Luoyang immediately!"
"Yes, Erchen will do it."
When the prince left the Taiji Palace, his eyes were gloomy.
He never thought that this matter would be found out by Duan Ling.
However, the emperor had already found out, and even if he was reluctant, he could only endure the distress and send all the materials in the house to Luoyang.
If it weren't for Duan Ling, this time the emperor really didn't know that the crown prince was such a figure.
In addition, Duan Ling and Lin Liang had a good way of providing disaster relief in Luoyang, and they gained a selfless reputation in the local area, and even the emperor praised Duan Ling.
This has been the case several times in succession, and the prince can't help it after all.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you thought about it?"
In the prince's mansion, the prince's doorman was locked in his study and had a secret conversation.
