Chapter 7: The Man Who Counts

It's night, the stars are sparse and the moon is hidden, and it's silent.

Mr. Lin walked alone on the path of Luming Hall with a yarn lantern, and just around the corner, a dagger was against his waist.

"Don't make a sound, or you'll ......," the man threatened coldly.

Mr. Lin's hands trembled slightly, but his waist was still straight, like a pine and cypress standing proudly on a cliff: "Who are you?" ”

The man smiled evilly, and the dagger stabbed into Mr. Lin's body, and red blood suddenly gushed out. He wiped the blood from the blade with his thumb and said word by word: "Thief, get drunk." ”

"So that person is called Huai Zui?" Li Li, the commander of Yulin Wei, rubbed his brows and listened to Mr. Lin's narration.

This matter was originally incompatible with him, but who is Mr. Lin, not only the prince and the prince, but also the teacher of today's saint. As soon as this incident came out, Emperor Xiao Rui immediately sent him over.

"It was he who said that his name was Huai Zui." Xiao Yongqing corrected.

"Does it make a difference?"

"The difference is so big that a person can say that he is anyone."

"Well, Your Highness has a point." Mr. Lin said weakly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really hard to worry about the old guy who has half of his body in the ground just after the wedding. ”

"A teacher for one day and a father for life, not to mention that the students are grown up by you, where is there any hard work or not?"

"Hey." Mr. Lin sighed, "I don't know if I can survive this time." ”

"Master Taifu, good people have good rewards, you will definitely be fine." Li Li scratched the back of his head and smiled, "Li is a rough person and doesn't know how to speak, please forgive me." ”

"Yes, sir. You need to get better, the students have a lot of things to bother you. ”

"The minister doesn't dare to be lazy." Mr. Lin was amused by Xiao Yongqing.

Seeing that Mr. Lin's mood had improved, Xiao Yongqing gave Li Li a look, stood up and said, "Sir, you have a good rest, and the students will come to see you later." ”

After Li Li bid farewell to Mr. Lin, he caught up with Xiao Yongqing outside the Lin Mansion: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what were you thinking just now?" ”

"Tian Ze Zhi."

"Huh?"

"This person sneaked into Luming Hall and seriously injured the prince and the prince, but he only stole an ancient book, this doesn't make sense." Xiao Yongqing pondered, "To put it mildly, if he really wants to kill his mouth, Mr. can't hide at all." ”

"But what about the purpose? It looks like ......"

"It's like a provocation."

Li Li was shocked: "If that's the case, then who is he provoking?" ”

"The Son of Heaven is doing evil at his feet, and it is the whole cold crisp that is provocative." Xiao Yongqing clenched his fists, "Dig three feet into the ground, and find out this person too!" ”

"The minister will mobilize all the people of Yulinwei until this person is found." Hearing this, Li Lijue was full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to immediately pull the wicked man to break the corpse.

"Nope." Xiao Yongqing shook his head and said, "The year is going to be a big plan, all countries are coming to the court, this matter must not be hyped up, if it causes unnecessary panic, wouldn't it be in the hands of the troublemakers?" Moreover, the vigilance inside and outside the palace must not be relaxed, the soldiers are all flesh and blood, how long can they hold on day and night? ”

"What about the minister?"

"Commander Li, do you believe in this palace?" Xiao Yongqing stood still.

"The minister naturally believes in His Highness."

"What if the commands of this palace are contrary to the will of the Divine Will?"

Li Li was stunned, and without thinking about it, he half-knelt on the ground and arched his hand: "It is difficult for the minister to obey his fate." ”

"Very good, so this palace will be relieved." Xiao Yongqing lifted Li Li with both hands, "Go with the palace to see someone." ”

Prince's Mansion, Zhu Yuan.

Yue Jin leaned back in the chair, leaned back, her face covered with the account book, sighed and sighed: "How many accounts can be checked in the same year." ”

Younan stood at the table and grinded: "The princess has accompanied the eldest lady to settle the national accounts, and she is still afraid of this little money." ”

"At that time, my aunt guarded me every day, and she didn't say that she showed it to my uncle, so how could she really let me take over." Yue Jin took off the account book on her face and threw it on the table, "My task is nothing more than to sit there every day and watch the group of female officials in charge of copying. ”

"It's a pity that the slave doesn't know the words of Hanshu, so she can't help the princess." Younan hung his head.

"Come, I'll teach you to write your name." Yue Jin suddenly came to her senses, pushed the accounts aside, and took out a blank piece of paper and spread it on the table.

"The princess doesn't read these accounts?"

"Anyway, I can't finish watching it, so I'm not in a hurry for a while."

Yue Jin grabbed Younan's hand and wrote the word "Younan" on the paper stroke by stroke, and then handed the pen to Younan for her to try by herself.

Younan wrote a few times according to the gourd drawing, and signed her name in the corner with Beili characters, she looked at it happily and said, "What does the princess's name look like in Hanshu writing?" ”

"Such." Yue Jin reached out for the pen, but her elbow accidentally bumped into the two stacks of accounts stacked on the corner of the table, and the accounts were scattered all over the ground, mixing the ones seen and the unseen.

Younan hurriedly picked up the accounts and said apologetically: "It's all the slave's fault, if only the slave didn't want to learn the cold script." ”

"Don't take everything on yourself." Yue Jin picked up the book and flipped through it, "It's not a big deal, I always have a little impression after seeing it, and it's not difficult to divide it......"

Her voice stopped abruptly, and Yue Jin stared at the account in her hand in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Younan asked.

"This is the account of the Orchid Academy this year, why is the purchase of herbs so large?" Yue Jin frowned and muttered to herself, she pointed to the words on the side of the account book and said to Younan, "You help me find all the other account books with these words." ”

Younan saw that the princess looked nervous, and knew that this matter was not to be sloppy, so she turned it out very quickly.

Yue Jin quickly flipped through the rest of the books, although the accounts of the orchid garden were only four years old, but since March of the previous year, the purchase of herbs has suddenly increased, and since then the expenditure has increased more and more every year.

"What year and month was Ah Chen born?" Yue Jin suddenly thought of a possible reason.

"It's the year before last, but the month is not clear." After Younan finished speaking, he asked again, "Do you suspect that these were bought for the little emperor's grandson?" ”

"I hope I'm thinking too much." Thinking that a child would have to take so many bitter medicines from birth, Yue Jin couldn't tell the feeling in her heart.

"That's not the sharp ...... that kills Concubine Su," Younan muttered in a low voice.

"What do you say?" Yue Jin reprimanded, "What parent would want to see their children suffer, such poisonous words are not allowed to be nonsense." ”

Younan said: "Princess, you are so kind, no wonder you are always bullied by them in Beili." ”

"They are them, I am me." Yue Jin said seriously, "Someone once said to me: In the dark night, don't steal life; Have good thoughts in your heart, and see you at the end of the day. ”

"Is that the one who is important to the princess said that?"

Yue Jin nodded, and her clear eyes flashed with a glimmer of longing: "His name is Su Yu, and he is my sweetheart." ”
