Chapter Twenty-Three: Throwing Stones and Asking for Directions
Lin Shaohai's suspicious expression decreased slightly, but he didn't notice that Lin Hao's explanation was full of loopholes.
He was still immersed in the affairs of today's hall, and he didn't really care about the details.
"It's hard to say about your brother's affairs now, if the Wuwu clan really committed the Great Zhou...... Taboo, your brother will be safe and sound. Lin Shaohai still took care of Lin Hao's identity as a woman, and he didn't say anything about the court.
"After all, God blesses, my brother will be fine."
It's only been a few days, Zhou Chuhan has a good way, he found out the clues so quickly, and he is so thoughtful that Lin Zhen is betting on the right person.
Otherwise, my brother's affairs are always hanging high, and now Lin Hao can at least relax half of her heart.
"Don't be busy telling your mother, in case the situation changes, she can......'t bear it" Lin Shaohai shook his head, because of Lin Chen's matter, she was angry and let him eat for a few days and close the door.
When this woman scares you, you can not do it again.
If you really ignore you, you are unwilling, and you are inexplicably concerned.
Lin Shaohai could only cover his forehead and sigh, women are just a headache.
"My daughter found out, so she stepped back first."
Lin Zhen naturally has no objections, and when the charges of the Vulture are announced to the world, it will not be too late for her to mention it, Mother Lin really can't stand the toss.
"Girl, I went to investigate, Luo Junsheng of the calligraphy and painting workshop was taken away by the people of the government, and the slave maid went to the yamen again, and spent some silver to buy the porter, only to find out that the arrester was looking for clues inside and outside that day, then Luo Junsheng returned to the shop with wine, because it was a homicide, so he was imprisoned together, and when the case came to light, if he was not related, he could naturally be put back."
Ming Huan clutched his chest, his face was sad, and when he thought of the scene of the bloody sausage and internal organs flowing everywhere yesterday, his stomach felt a surge of discomfort at this time.
Lin Hao's face was uncertain, she wanted to investigate the matter of the enemy's village, and the only person she knew was killed.
Is this too much of a coincidence?
What's more, who is the courtyard where Lin Xuan sneakily entered and exited?
And the woman he locked up......
If there is no interest involved, Lin Zhen will never believe it.
People's hearts are profit-oriented.
It's just that things are far more complicated than Lin Hao thought.
"Girl, girl......"
Ming Huan called a few times before Lin Hao regained her thoughts.
During this time, she spent all her efforts to protect her family, but she knew that the first person to alienate herself was her biological mother.
She doesn't defend herself, what is more important than her family still alive.
"Go, call Steward Zhang."
Even though Lin Zhen was exhausted, he didn't dare to really put the potential crisis of the Chengguo Mansion behind him.
In the future, there will be more places for her to bother, and she is not tired, and she does not dare to be tired.
Minghuan answered.
Steward Zhang came quickly, panting slightly, "Girl, is looking for a slave to come for the girl's dowry?" Minions are still in the works. ”
"The wedding date is on the sixth day of the next month, don't panic, you just prepare slowly." Lin Hao waved her hand, obviously not caring about it.
Steward Zhang was dumbfounded, "...... is that girl looking for a slave?"
"When you are idle, bring me the account books, land deeds, and house deeds in the house." Lin Hao said lightly.
The startled Steward Zhang hurriedly raised his head and hesitated, "Girl, I'm afraid this is not ......"
The word "rules" was forced back by Lin Hao's cold and temperatureless gaze, and swallowed back into his stomach.
"What? Daddy asked me to help my mother manage the affairs of the house, and I can't even look at it? Lin Hao smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
"The minions will fetch it later."
There is no room for Zhang to think about it, Lin Zhen is already pressing step by step.
He didn't know how this girl could be on a whim, but she still had a purpose......
Just when he was puzzled, Lin Hao, who listened again, opened his mouth, like a stone falling into a deep pool, and there was always a sound when he fell into the depths.
"I heard rumors outside that the servants of the Chengguo Mansion are outside......"
Steward Zhang's head was hot, and he didn't wait for Lin Zhen's words to fall, and hurriedly blurted out, "It's all nonsense, the girl can't take it seriously." ”
As soon as the words fell, I regretted it too much, Lin Hao didn't mention what the rumors were at all!
A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence!
Fortunately, Manager Zhang has a lot of experience, and now he knows that the more he explains, the more suspicious he becomes, so he simply stops his mouth!
Even though he was uneasy, he still hung his head respectfully and waited with bated breath.
"I remember that Steward Zhang is from Hongze County?" Lin Hao didn't continue to ask, and the conversation changed suddenly.
Even if Steward Zhang is a good person, he can't guess Lin Hao's intentions at this moment.
"Exactly."
"Oh, so I'm not mistaken. It seems that Li Haoxi is also from Hongze County, so in this way, you are fellow villagers. Lin Hao suddenly laughed, becoming more and more cordial.
This sentence has already set off a storm in Steward Zhang's heart, isn't the girl knowing something? Or are you throwing stones and asking for directions?
His face was still calm, and he said respectfully, "The girl is right, she is a fellow countryman." ”
This kind of weakness of heart is fleeting, even if Lin Hao perceives something? The eldest lady is still there, no matter how bad it is, there is still an old lady, how can it be Lin Hao's turn to call the shots in the house.
Thinking like this, Steward Zhang felt a little relieved.
She wanted to check the accounts, but he hadn't done anything, so he was naturally not afraid.
What's more, how could a boudoir lady like Lin Zhen pay attention to these trivial things in the house.
"I just said it casually, you don't have to take it to heart." Lin Zhen has learned the word "careful" in this life, if you are careful, many seemingly unrelated things are intertwined and closely related.
Lin Hao not only knew that Steward Zhang and Li Haoxi were fellow countrymen, but also knew that Li Haoxi's son was working under Steward Zhang, and Lin Hao knew very well what kind of character her son was.
But over the years, there have been no mistakes?
Is this a deliberate attempt to favor or ......
Lin Zhen waved away Steward Zhang, she reasoned that she had enough left, and it would be up to Steward Zhang to deal with it next.
This mess is really a headache, but if it violates the interests of the Chengguo Mansion, don't blame her for turning her face and being ruthless.
"Go and get Si'er."
Lin Hao still has important things to ask him to do, but yesterday Lin Hao took it to heart, and secretly observed that he was still safe, and it was not difficult to do what he did, and he was the most reliable to do.
"Hey." Now Minghuan is happy.
This girl...... I really can't hide my thoughts.
The Imperial Study.
Ambergris is burning in the incense.
Even the people in the main hall couldn't help coughing.
"Your Majesty, you can rest!" Father-in-law Yunhai hurriedly bent over and stroked the back of the tall figure, and then served a cup of tea.
Zhou Yan coughed heavily, and the corners of his eyes inevitably became scarlet bloodshots, so he took a sip, and the violent coughing and wheezing suppressed a little.
"I don't want to rest, but when has the world been too peaceful?" Zhou Yan straightened his stiff back, and after sitting for a long time, this posture was extremely uncomfortable, but it was like this all year round, and he was used to it.
"Damn it!"
Yunhai's father-in-law slapped himself twice, "It's all nonsense from a slave, Your Majesty is diligent in government affairs, and the world is peaceful, and it has nothing to do with resting or not resting." ”
