Chapter 71: Return to Beijing to save my brothers
The young Du Gui grabbed the door frame and watched Chu Lin go helplessly, she was sad and sad, but she was always on the side of the eldest sister unconditionally, hmph, you can go, don't come back!
Chu Lin let the horse run wildly, Moyun also has spirituality, more than ten days apart, it has already recovered its health, and today it is carrying its master, so it is natural to be arbitrary to relieve the pain of captivity.
The wind of hunting dried the tears in the corners of Chu Lin's eyes, and he washed his face beside a place of water. No matter how much bitterness he has in his heart and how many scars he has on his body, when he enters Jiangling City, he is still the Yan King who is the attention of all the people, and the Nine Princes who are high in the sky.
The twilight hung low, at the east gate of Jiangling City, Chu Lin held the reins, he looked up, the city gate was high and wide, and he couldn't see the words on it clearly. The panther followed, stopping as he did.
Even though he was wearing a cotton robe sewn by Du Mei, his imposing temperament and cold aura around him were also dark horses and black dogs, which were enough to deter others, and naturally attracted the attention of the guards.
"King Yan, you're back!" The guard bowed in surprise.
"Get up." Chu Lin sat upright on the horse, and the phoenix eyes swept over the crowd, lightly urging Mo Yun and entering Jiangling City.
Chu Lin believed that the horse was reined, and on the long street, the peddlers and pawns were in a hurry. Jiangling City is still the original Jiangling City, but he is physically and mentally injured, and even the Yanwang Mansion has an extra living person.
Zhao Ji'an chased after him slowly, and only then did he catch up on the street, picking up a person, a horse and a dog who seemed to be wandering aimlessly. He knew that his master was showing everyone that King Yan had appeared alive! All rumors will be self-defeating.
"Master, my subordinates will go and get 100 military sticks." Zhao Ji'an clenched his fists on the horse.
"What, are you trying to be lazy and let me check on those five people myself?" Chu Lin glanced at him.
"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates thank the master for not punishing!" Zhao Ji was apprehensive, this lack of punishment made him more uneasy than punishment.
"Who said you won't be punished? Find out the inside story within three days, otherwise you will be punished for several crimes, and you will not be spared! Chu Lin didn't look at him either, took the reins, and went to King Yan's mansion.
The guards at the city gates, the spectators on the streets, were enough to spread the news of his appearance. And the side concubine in the family is the person Chu Lin doesn't want to face the most.
"Childe, buy a tabloid." A little beggar in his teenage years with snot suddenly rushed out and stopped Chu Lin's horse's head.
"Phew!" Chu Lin urgently pulled the reins, Mo Yun's speed was not fast, and he was only half an inch away from the little beggar's door, so he could stop.
"Little Hanako, you don't want to die!" Zhao Ji'an rushed up and scolded.
"Childe, buy a tabloid." The little beggar was not afraid, and stared at Chu Lin and said.
He raised his left hand and wiped his nose with his sleeve, which was full of patches and no color of the show. Some of the remaining unwiped snot was pasted on the left cheek.
"Tabloids?" Chu Lin looked suspicious, where did the tabloids come out of Jiangling City except for the official mansion's newspaper?
"Go, play." Zhao Ji'an dismounted and drove people away.
"Childe, buy a tabloid." The little beggar seemed to say only that.
"Ji'an, buy one." Chu Lin looked at the little beggar in front of him, thinking of the three younger sisters of Du Mei's family, and his heart moved.
"A penny." The little beggar happily took out a piece of paper smaller than Di Bao from the crossbody bag, with dense words printed on it, and handed it to Chu Lin.
"One article?" Zhao Ji'an was stupid, he had two big gold ingots in his pocket, but he didn't have a penny.
"You don't even have a penny, and you're still a child! Give me back the tabloid!" The little beggar said with a little disdain.
"Will you go home with me and get it?" Chu Lin suddenly
He bowed his head and said to the little beggar. Zhao Ji'an was stunned.
"If your home is not far away, I can consider it." The little beggar said a little old-fashioned.
These poor children who are in the market are the most observant and judge people by their appearance, and he is not very afraid when he sees Chu Lin wearing an ordinary cotton robe, just as a scholar, or where he is on an errand.
"It's not far, just around the corner." The corners of Chu Lin's mouth were raised, his heels leaned against Mo Yun's stomach, and he walked slowly.
The little beggar was ignorant and fearless, and he was not frightened, but just followed. Strangely, the panther was not hostile to him, but only turned his head to look, and the little beggar made a grimace at it.
In front of the Yanwang Mansion, Ruyi looked anxiously with three or two mothers-in-law. Today, Zhao Ji'an went to pick up the prince early in the morning, and now it's getting dark, and there is no one and no letter, but it doesn't make her crazy.
"Master!" As soon as Ruyi saw Chu Lin, he knelt down happily, and the mother-in-law guards behind him knelt on the ground.
"Get up." Chu Lin waved his hand. Zhao Ji'an led the two horses and stood aside.
"Give this kid a penny." Chu Lin explained Ruyi.
"Huh?" Ruyi was surprised, but did as she could.
The little beggar's eyes widened, he didn't recognize the three big characters on the plaque of Yanwang's Mansion, but he knew what kind of place this was. Looking at the person kneeling on the ground, this plainly dressed man is actually the famous King Yan?
"Why are you afraid and don't dare to ask for it?" Chu Lin saw that the little beggar's mouth was open enough to stuff an egg.
"Yes. King Yan rewarded it, but he couldn't ask for it. "This little beggar is very clever.
Chu Lin held the tabloid and stepped into the mansion with a smile.
Where would Ruyi put a penny in his sleeve, he found a broken piece of silver at random, sent the little beggar, and turned around to serve the master.
Su Muyun is standing in the second door, she is a side concubine, unlike Ruyi who is a housekeeper, it is inconvenient to show her head at the door.
"Lord Wang!" Su Moyun curtsied.
She hadn't seen Chu Lin, but she had lived in this house for more than ten days, and she still knew what people were coming in and out of the house. The population in Yanwang's mansion is simple, and the male servant will not come to the backyard, Zhao Ji'an always salutes her first, and she has already recognized it.
"No courtesy." The smile that Chu Lin was still hanging on the corner of his mouth just now disappeared without a trace.
The two were relatively silent, and the marriage lasted more than ten days before the groom and the bride officially met.
"You ......"
"You ......"
Both of them spoke at the same time, and shut up at the same time.
"Say it." After a moment's pause, Chu Lin spoke up, breaking the embarrassment.
"Did the prince bathe and change his clothes first?" Su Muyun's face burned red, but this was her duty as the concubine of Yanwangfu, and she should do it.
"Let Ji'an wait." Chu Lin waved his hand.
Su Muyun's face was cold, but his heart was relieved. I have to say that Su Muyun was born very beautifully, with a pair of beautiful eyes, eyebrows like distant daisies, beautiful peach lips, walking like weak willows supporting the wind, shy and timid, and lovable. It's a pity that the flying flowers can't be seen, and how much fetters are paid in vain.
Bathing and changing clothes, braiding hair and hairpins, Chu Lin put on the royal blue dark pattern cloud brocade robe again, and Du Jiagou was like a dream of Nanke.
Chu Lin glanced at the tabloids, but which minister's family accepted the concubine, whose rich housewife abused his aunt, and there was also a ranking list of Oiran in Jiangling City, and another gambling game was opened, betting on whose Oiran had the highest bonus.
"Where did this come from?" Chu Lin frowned and brushed it to the ground.
"It's just some market gossip, which suddenly popped up ten days ago, and they were all sold by the little flowers." Zhao Ji'an glanced at it and said.
Ruyi is having dinner,
The Empress Dowager Guo in front of the queen mother in the palace hurriedly came to pass on the word of mouth, asking Chu Lin to enter the palace immediately.
Zhao Ji'an didn't dare to slack off, immediately prepared the horse, and went out with him.
In the Taihe Palace, the Queen Mother looked at it, and when she saw a flash of royal blue, she immediately caught Chu Lin's kneeling body.
"Lin'er, tell the mourning family to take a look, but where is the injury?" The Queen Mother's eyelids are swollen, and she must not be able to eat and sleep well these days.
"It's all the son's fault, which makes the queen mother worried." Chu Lin had to kneel.
"Peace is good, peace is good." The Queen Mother patted the back of Chu Lin's hand.
"Queen Mother, dinner is ready." Linglong lowered her eyes and came in back.
"Lin'er, let's use some pastries first. Just now, the emperor came to pass the word, saying that he wanted to see you, and I asked him to come to Taihe Hall for dinner together. "The queen mother is a baby after all, and she has put pressure on the emperor these days.
"Mother, take care of your body." Chu Lin thought of the Xu family, at this time, did they have dinner?
couldn't stand the persuasion, Chu Lin ate a piece of almond shortbread, drank a cup of Chunjiang young green tea under the loving gaze of the Queen Mother, and said some words with him, although the dangerous part was hidden, it still caused the Queen Mother to sigh.
About a stick of incense, Emperor Chu Pei, accompanied by Gonggong Li, came in a hurry.
"Lao Jiu, how are you?" Chu Lin grabbed Chu Lin, who was about to salute, and looked him up and down.
"Brother Xie Huang cares, and the younger brother is fine." Chu Lin bowed to the ground.
"It's okay, you just came out to help me, and someone is so vicious. Only when I catch the culprit and condemn the nine clans can I solve the hatred in my heart! Chu Pei said fiercely.
"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, only Shaohuai and Jinnian ......" Chu Lin just wanted to intercede for the three brothers.
was interrupted by the Queen Mother's words: "Lin'er, come over to accompany the mourning family for dinner." ”
In the warm pavilion, the three of them sat separately and were speechless. Exquisite cloth vegetables, a variety of soups, chewing and swallowing slowly, delicious food, fragrant lips and teeth. But Chu Lin missed the corn tortillas, the pumpkin porridge, and the laughter and clever smiles at the dinner table.
rinsed his mouth and cleaned his hands, and said some words with him, the queen mother was tired, and Chu Pei and Chu Lin knelt down and went out.
"Lao Jiu, do you have something to say to me?" At night, the palace walls are forested, and although they are lit, they are still dim and unclear.
"Your Majesty, my brother begs to re-investigate the assassination case." Chu Lin clenched his fists.
"Come with me." Chu Pei took Chu Lin's hand, and the sweat in his palms satisfied him.
Purple Circle
Chu Lin stood tall and knelt in front of Zhu's case: "The younger brother and Shaohuai, Jin Nian, and Tie Li met in the market by chance, and met to drink and eat fish together, this matter cannot be premeditated, and the younger brother is in danger, and it must have nothing to do with the three of them." ”
"All the evidence of Yuan Shilang points to Song Shaohuai, how can this be fake?" Chu Pei twisted his eyebrows.
"The big case of the criminal department needs to be reported to Dali Temple for review, and the ministers implore the emperor to be gracious for a review, so as not to misjudge, hurt the hearts of the ministers, but let the real murderer go unpunished." Chu Lin continued.
"Lao Jiu has thought deeply about me. How dare those old guys in Dali Temple offend Su Yan and Yuan Hong? The wind entered the hall, the lights were swaying, and Chu Pei smiled unreally.
"The younger brother is thoughtful and dares to recommend one." Chu Lin bowed.
"Who?" Chu Pei leaned forward and asked with a smile.
"Su Motian." Chu Lin replied lightly, but his eyes were clear and his tone was firm.
"Haha, although Su Motian is your sworn brother, he is still your brother-in-law, and he is Su Yan's own son, who do you think he will favor?" Chu Pei smiled even deeper. 2k reading web
