Chapter 643: Questioning
What do you mean by that? Do you suspect that there is an inner ghost among us? "
After looking around and finding that there was nothing unusual about anyone, someone couldn't help but ask.
Lin Yan paced back and forth among the courtiers, but silently walked to a minister and stopped.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be Tobe Squiro, right?"
The person in front of him looked in his early 30s, he was not particularly big, and his face was quite clean, so he looked quite young, and compared with other senior courtiers, he was a more prominent member.
was suddenly questioned by Lin Yan, and that person's body actually trembled involuntarily. Obviously scared, but he was still deliberately strong and calm, pretending not to know anything, nodding silently, and replied tremblingly: "It's exactly below."
This household servant spoke very clearly. The words are full of unconfidence to the point of having a humble posture, which makes people extremely uncomfortable to listen to, and there is not even a sense of atmosphere.
It is precisely because of his cowardly character that he usually makes friends with not many people, and he is also the most inconspicuous one in the court.
Seeing that Lin Yan actually walked towards him, they all looked at this person in unison, what is there to pay attention to such an inconspicuous person? Could it be that there is another mystery in it?
This can't make them think of what Lin Yan said just now.
Looking at the eyes of the tobe servant, it was a little deeper, with full suspicion.
If it is said that the 100,000 army has something to do with him, then no one will believe it, after all, he doesn't have the ability or the courage to do it!
"I heard you have a brother, right?" Lin Yan did not mention the matter of the 100,000 army, but asked some more common words.
But it sounded like a very ordinary question, but it made the Tobe squire even more nervous, and the Yugui in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground, and the whole person took a step back in panic, almost not daring to look up at him.
But if he has always been so modest, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the other party, so the head of the household nodding stubbornly, and hurriedly added: "My brother was pulled over when he was conscripted, and he has died on the battlefield, and now I am the only one left in the family, and there is an elderly mother, that's all."
Hearing him say this, Lin Yan sneered and laughed, his tone was full of disdain: "Are you really sure he's dead?" But how did I hear that he seemed to be alive and well! "
For the increasingly wonderful dialogue between the two, everyone was a little confused, and they looked at the station with a suspicious look and a posture of watching the play, including Xing Tianze, who was standing on the high platform, also with a posture of watching the play.
Hearing Lin Yan's step-by-step words, the head of the household only felt like a prisoner who had been forced to confess, and he seemed at a loss for a moment, but he still denied it stubbornly: "He is indeed dead, he never came back in that war, and he can't even find the body, and now the grave erected for him is only a foil for clothes!"
"Really? But this king has already sent someone to check before, and there was no information about your brother in the army back then, you said that he went to join the army, is it possible that he can disappear out of thin air, do you want us to go and see your brother's grave now, to see if there is a body in it? "
There was a terrible smile on the corner of Lin Yan's mouth, which made people feel jealous and dare not change, and even had a kind of weakness, that smile seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and hit people's internal organs, and that deep gaze made people feel like they were seen through.
Why bother asking questions about this. Tobe Shirou only felt that his legs were weak, and he actually knelt down all of a sudden.
"King Pingnan, I admit that my brother did not die of utensils, he originally planned to join the army, but suddenly became ill. And then he died not long after, in order to maintain the glory behind him, that's why I said so, please forgive me! "Tobe Samurai felt his body tremble even when he knelt down, and he trembled very much.
A low-ranking official was forced to ask like this, and other people couldn't stand it, although they didn't usually have any friendship with him, but after all, they were officials in the same dynasty, so everyone was a colleague.
And although this Lin Yan usually doesn't like to communicate with other people, he looks quite kind, why did he suddenly attack a petty official today? Some people couldn't bear it anymore, so they spoke directly.
"I said, King Pingnan, why do you have to embarrass such a petty official who knows the true purpose of the 100,000 army? Could it be that you are here for us to watch such a play, and I don't know what special meaning it has? "
"Yes, it's just a small shutdown, why do you keep targeting him, no matter how you say that no one has done anything wrong?"
It's true that Tobe Shirou is very cautious in his daily work, and he is generally not nominated, which is also the reason why everyone really can't remember him.
Because the sense of existence is too low, good and bad things can't be his turn, and even sometimes if it is not deliberately mentioned, everyone is not very clear that there will be such a person in the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty!
Tobe Shirou listened to everyone talking for himself, and he was silently relieved in his heart, but he still didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at the concept, he knew very well in his heart, he was suddenly asked like this, at least there must be a reason, not to mention that it was about his brother, which has always been a shadow in his heart.
"Heh, even if according to what you say, whether it is the elder brother or the younger brother lying in the coffin, we really don't know, if you think that you can hide it from the world if you really do some measures, your mother will arrive tomorrow, why don't you let her come and evaluate us, Wang Zhi?"
Lin Yan said coldly, but suddenly called out such an unfamiliar name, the original name of the household servant was Wang Xi.
Hearing such a name suddenly pop out of his mouth, Wang Qian's whole body trembled, and she almost knelt on the ground without being frightened, this name is exactly the name used by his younger brother!
"King Pingnan, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all, I suddenly feel a little unwell, can I ...... first, Your Majesty?"
"If you have anything to do before leaving, if you feel unwell, there is a doctor to bear it for you!"
Xing Tianze obviously noticed that there was something greasy in this, how could he let him escape so easily?
Hearing that the emperor had already said this, the head of the household felt that it was impossible to escape, and the tension in his heart couldn't help but increase a little more, no matter what, he absolutely couldn't admit that thing, otherwise he would definitely be finished!
