Chapter 72: Ye Qing and Ye Dan
"I trust him to speak on the basis of facts and evidence!" Chu Lin raised his head and said.
"Are you so sure? Did you find a clue? Chu Pei's face returned to normal, with a majestic look.
"The younger brother is still investigating, but I can guarantee that it has nothing to do with the three of them!" Chu Lin nodded.
"The three of them must learn some lessons, you are a royal family, no matter what the reason, let you be alone in danger, you will not be able to escape punishment!" Chu Pei's voice became stern.
Chu Lin was silent, the imperial brother was thinking about his safety, but he wanted to save his brother.
"That's it, that's it, tomorrow Xuan Su Motian will be appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he will investigate this case." Chu Pei had a headache, looking at Chu Lin's strength, if he didn't agree, he would have to kneel here tonight.
"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Chu Lin bowed down.
"Recently, heavy rain has fallen, and the boundary of Qingzhou has been flooded, and some people have taken the opportunity to bully the market and raise prices. I know that you just came back, and you are a newlywed, so I shouldn't have let you go, but I am afraid that the local government will collude with you, and I believe you, so I have to work hard for you to go. Chu Pei looked at him fixedly.
"The younger brother is willing to share the emperor's worries." Chu Lin's heart moved, and he hugged his fists in response.
"You have arranged it, set off as soon as possible on the next day, and ask those three people to go with you, if there is any more mistakes, the two crimes will be punished together!" Chu Pei said. He knew that Chu Lin would definitely take this opportunity to catch those three people, so it was better to be a favor. Besides, the matter of the concubine should also be taken care of.
"Emperor Xie!" Chu Lin bowed.
The two talked for a long time about disaster relief and secret visits, and it was not until the end of the day that Chu Lin left the palace. Zhao Ji'an hurriedly put a big coat on him, and when he saw that he didn't know what to think, he didn't dare to ask.
The street market at night was empty, except for the sound of horses' hooves obtained by the master and servant.
"mmd, if you don't hand it over, I'll kill you!" A vicious voice came from a secluded alley next to it.
"This is what King Yan rewarded me." The response was a timid and small voice.
"Little rabbit, why don't you say that the emperor rewards you?!" The voice of a gritted tooth is accompanied by the dull sound of a fist hitting the flesh.
"Ji'an, go take a look." Chu Lin frowned, where did the people from the Beijing camp go?
Zhao Ji'an took the order and turned into the alley, only to see three and a half children standing on the side, obviously a gang, they were facing a small child, they didn't know what to blackmail, and punched and kicked him from time to time.
"What for?" Zhao Ji'an took a sip.
"Yo, see what you can, I'll find a helper." The leading kid slapped an ear scraper on the child's face.
Zhao Ji'an entered the alley against the light, the shadow was long, but his face was not real, he was a man of the army, he had a heroic spirit, his aura followed his master, and the surroundings were cold.
"Who are you?" The leader was a little afraid, this cold black, as if from hell.
"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you dare to make trouble every dog, you are tired of it." Zhao Ji'an's tone was enough to make the three boys shiver.
"It's only right to pay back debts!" The kid next to him said coldly.
"Nonsense, we only borrowed 100 yuan from you, but we asked me to pay back 1 tael of silver!" The bullied child said loudly.
"It's written in black and white, you still want to deny it!" The other boy shook the paper in his hand with a loud noise.
"I'm illiterate, and that's not what you said when you lent it to me." The child was very aggrieved.
The more Zhao Ji'an listened to this voice, the more familiar he felt, he glared at the child and looked at it carefully, it turned out to be a little beggar who sold newspapers in the evening: "Hey, little called Huazi, why are you?" ”
"They bullied me!" When the little beggar saw Zhao Ji'an clearly, he immediately burst into tears.
The three boys looked at each other, weighing whether the three of them could beat or escape.
The crisp and sharp whistle of "......" came from the alley at the other end, and the three boys immediately left the little beggar, turned around and fled in a hurry.
When the little beggar saw them flying away, he immediately stopped crying, and none of his tears fell, and he wanted to run away, but Zhao Ji'an grabbed his collar.
"You put me down, let me down!" The little beggar waved his hands and feet.
"Hey, you'd better be honest!" Zhao Ji'an slipped around him, like a fried cat.
"Plop." Zhao Ji'an threw this dirty "cat" in disgust in front of Chu Lin's horse.
The little beggar got up from the ground with a bone, and Zhao Ji'an briefly said what had happened.
"Didn't you ask Ruyi to give him a penny? How much did your sister give him? "In this world of the jungle, people are not guilty, but they are guilty. This is true of the Dumei family, and the same is true of the little beggar.
"You're not trying to take it back, are you?" The little beggar crossed his arms around his chest vigilantly.
"You are a beggar, you want to eat a meal, what do you want so much money for, you can only invite the disaster of killing!" Zhao Ji'an poked his head with his finger.
"I'm going to show my brother his legs." The little beggar clung to his chest tighter.
"What's your name?" Chu Lin suddenly remembered Du Mei's youngest sister Du Gui, who must have scared her when he left today.
"My name is Ye Qing, and my brother's name is Ye Dan." Ye Qing straightened his small chest.
"Danqing? What about your parents? How did you end up here? Listening to his accent, mixed with a foreign accent, Chu Lin asked suspiciously.
"My family is from Qingzhou, my father and mother were in the calligraphy and painting business, a year ago someone ordered the goods, but insisted that it was a fake, my father and they reasoned, but was beaten to death, my brother also ......, my mother was sick, and soon passed away.
This transaction has cost me, my father and mother are gone, and my brother's leg is also useless. Those people still don't give up, and they ruin my family's reputation everywhere.
Our brother couldn't stay in Qingzhou, so he sold his family property and wanted to come to the imperial city to treat his legs, but he encountered robbers halfway through, so he had to beg for food and went to Jiangling City. Ye Qing's voice gradually became quieter, and he actually choked up and cried.
"Would you like to come to Yanwang's Mansion on an errand?" Chu Lin thought of another thing in his heart.
"Really? Is it true? Ye Qing's tears and snot were still hanging on his face, but he laughed.
"You don't kowtow yet!" Zhao Ji'an kicked him.
"Can I take my brother?" Ye Qing looked at Chu Lin with blazing eyes.
"There are a lot of able-bodied servants in King Yan's mansion, how can one be crippled?" Zhao Ji'an felt that this little guy was simply inching.
"My brother is not crippled, although his legs are not good, he can draw and write and read accounts." Ye Qing glared at Zhao Ji'an.
"The servants of the Yan Wangfu are all to sign a deed of sale, and it is for life. In other words, you can only be loyal to me for the rest of your life. Chu Lin said solemnly.
"We are willing to sign, we are not as good as a dog here, we are not well fed and clothed, and we will be bullied, it is better to be a servant of Yanwangfu, and we can still live like a person." Ye Qing knelt down on his knees and kowtowed.
"In that case, you go back and discuss with your brother, pack up, and come to Yanwang's Mansion tomorrow." Chu Lin turned the horse's head.
"Lord Wang, we can go now!" Ye Qing's eyes lit up, for fear that Chu Lin would regret it.
"Whatever you want." Chu Lin rode away.
Zhao Ji'an couldn't understand why the master wanted to take him in, this little beggar of unknown origin, but he had no right to question, so he could only send someone to secretly investigate, and then keep an eye on it for a while to see if there was any change.
Back to King Yan
house, Chu Lin took Zhao Ji'an to the study and carefully studied the situation of the waterlogging in Qingzhou. The hourglass was silent, and Ruyi came in two or three times.
One time was to send supper and fragrant tea, remove the oil lamp, and cut the candle flowers.
The second time was to go back and forth to Ye Qingye Dan, Chu Lin ordered to arrange it, Ruyi was busy with work, signed and drawn, arranged accommodation, and most importantly, bathed them and threw away all the old clothes.
The third time I came, Ruyi only waited on the sidelines and didn't say much.
"You can rest and go." Chu Lin waved his hand.
"Ruyi dares to ask, is the master resting in Mrs. Su's room tonight?" Ruyi came and went, and saw a light on in Su Muyun's house.
Although Ruyi loves Chu Lin but can't, it is better than Su Muyun, they at least have the affection to grow up together, and Su Muyun really has nothing except for an unworthy title of side concubine, Ruyi has compassion for her.
"Tomorrow there is something important, so I will sleep in the study." Chu Lin said coldly.
"Yes, the slave and maid will be settled." Ruyi bowed and withdrew.
"Go tell her to rest early." Chu Lin chased after him, Su Muyun was Su Motian's sister after all, he had no intention of her, but he still had to take into account brotherhood.
Chu Lin was used to getting up early in Dujiagou, and although he slept late last night, he still got up early to practice boxing and sword dancing.
Ye Qing had already changed into the gray cotton robe worn by the servant, and helped Ye Dan, who was also wearing, to thank Chu Lin for his farewell. got up early, Ruyi had already told them the rules of the house, although these two brothers were not rich and noble, they were also children of a solid family, and they remembered it as soon as they said it.
Ye Qing, who has changed his clothes, is like a different person, he is a smart young man with a delicate face, and his brother is older after all, and the changes in his family and his own pain make him young and old, depressed and introverted.
Zhao Ji'an accompanied and sent Chu Lin to the morning court, he didn't dare to slack off.
In the court, it was announced that Su Motian was inaugurated as Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He was in Gangneung City, and he won two yuan, and he was famous. 's father is Shang Shuling, and this position is sponsored by King Yan, so no one in the Zihuan Palace retorted, and they all chanted "Emperor Shengming".
Song Shaohuai, Yuan Jinnian, and Tie Li have been released from the prison of the Criminal Department, and these three people did not go home, and went straight to Yanwang's Mansion to find Chu Lin.
Ruyi was busy preparing food and drinks, and at the end of the day, Su Motian also came.
Chu Lin told them the ins and outs of the matter, explained that Su Motian must clear the grievances of the three of them, and said that he would go to Qingzhou for disaster relief and make an unannounced visit, and by the way, he would visit the affairs of Chixia Villa.
Song Shaohuai listened to this, gritted his teeth and said, "TNND, when I catch these guys, they will all be chopped up." ”
Chu Lin saw Yuan Jinnian hanging his head on the side: "Jinnian, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I don't have the face to see my brothers!" Yuan Jinnian would rather stay in prison, what kind of father does he have!
"Your father is your father, you are you, and the second brother doesn't resent you!" Song Shaohuai raised his glass and drank with him.
"Fourth brother, so am I." Tie Li was stupid, and he also echoed.
Yuan Jinnian's eyes were shining with tears, and he raised his head and dried up.
The five of them drank wine and agreed on some things.
Su Motian went to look at the girl again, Su Muyun didn't say a word, Su Motian only thought that they were in harmony, and didn't ask more.
The four of them were full of wine and food, and they went home separately, which was another situation, and I will not repeat them one by one.
only said that Chu Lin was going to leave for Qingzhou tomorrow, and what he was most worried about was not Yanwangfu, but Dujiagou, who had just left for a day, he was worried about ducks, and even more worried about Du Mei.
"Would you like to give your brother a leg cure?" Chu Lin asked Ye Qing that he was diligently circling his master. 2k reading web
