Chapter 417: Lin Xi joins forces
Hearing this, Du Huaibing looked at Chu Lin carefully, and only then did he recognize that it was him, and immediately panicked and wanted to kneel down to plead guilty, but was stopped by Chu Lin, they came out secretly, and they didn't want to make a big noise, Shen Zhanghua also shook his head at him.
"I understand, I understand, when this matter is over, I will definitely open an ancestral hall and teach her a good lesson!" Du Huaibing nodded again and again.
He has been the patriarch for decades, and no one dares to collude with outsiders to harm his own people under his nose, and he only feels that his authority is ruthlessly challenged by a woman, and he must be punished with an iron fist, otherwise how can he obey the public!
"That's the rule of your clan, as long as no one is killed, the official family will not interfere." Shen Zhanghua said lightly.
If there is a mother, there must be a son, and both mother and son are treacherous and vicious people, and he will have to search and interrogate him more when he goes back, and he will definitely dig out other evil deeds hidden by him and the instructions behind them!
At present, the situation of Dujiagou is already very clear, it is the worst situation expected, Chu Lin and Shen Zhanghua hurried back to think of a remedy, no longer delayed, got up and said goodbye and left.
The two of them ran for most of the night on horseback, and it was not until the second half of the night that they saw the gate of Jiangling City, and the guards of the city were all soldiers from the Beijing patrol battalion, Zhao Ji'an was waiting for them in the city tower, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly opened the city gate and let them in.
"Ji'an, what did Shaohuai say?" Seeing that he was looking for Zhao Ji'an, he didn't have time to take a sip of tea, so Chu Lin couldn't wait to ask.
If the archives of the household department are not changed, they can overturn the previous succession, and even hold the Qinghe County Commander accountable, which is the last hope.
"Song Gongzi said that the archive of the household department has been changed!" Zhao Ji'an didn't dare to look at Chu Lin's hopeful eyes, and said in a low voice.
"Du Mei is a seven-grade widow, how can he be adopted! Qian Yi is dizzy! Chu Lin was so angry that he slapped his palm on the table.
"Qian Shilang also only found out today, and when he asked the officials of the household department, they all said that they didn't know, and there was nowhere to check this matter, and the seal of the household department had been stamped on the archive, so there was no room for maneuver in this matter." Zhao Ji'an stared at his toes and said.
"You send Shen Zhizhou back, and I'll go to the Humble Garden to see what's going on over there with Murong Xi." Hearing this, Chu Lin's clenched fist was powerless to let go, and the two places were irretrievable, and Murong Xi was afraid that it was the last straw.
"Lord Wang, since yesterday afternoon, you haven't eaten endlessly, and your body can't bear it." Zhao Ji'an said with some distress.
"If I don't hurry up, this morning, the Seven Kings may ask for marriage, and at that time, I'm afraid that the gods won't be able to save her!" After Chu Lin said this, he strode away.
The Humble Garden was brightly lit, Murong Xi sat at the table and poured himself a drink, and there was an empty pair of dishes, chopsticks and wine cups opposite.
"Master, you've been drinking all night, and King Yan probably won't come." Yan Mo whispered on the side.
"He's coming." Murong Xi's face was as usual, and he raised his head and drank another glass.
Yan Mo couldn't, so he had to stand aside and watch quietly. Outside the hospital, there was the crisp sound of the husband's bang, and it was already the fourth watch.
"Sorry, I'm late." The shadow of the tree flickered, and someone outside the door was heard.
"King Yan, please." Yan Mo hurriedly opened the door.
The room was full of wine, and Chu Lin frowned slightly: "How is Du Jue over there?" ”
"Just like what you saw when you went to Dujiagou, Du Jue's household registration document clearly said that he succeeded Dujiagou Du Mei
For the sake of the young daughter, this matter is hidden from the world, and it is really done seamlessly! Murong Xi poured wine over the wine cup opposite.
"The adoptive needs to be signed by the parents, who signed it for Du Mei's mother?" Chu Lin wrinkled his eyebrows and sat down.
"Does it still matter? Since you want to sign, you will inevitably imitate the handwriting, and the procedures are all in order, you know, if you repent, you will be heavily responsible for the thirty boards, Amei's mother, she can't stand it! Ame would rather marry by mistake than let her mother suffer such a sin. Murong Xi had another drink, what a difficult choice, he had never been drunk for a thousand cups, and after drinking all night, he couldn't come up with a safe way.
"There's no other way?" Chu Lin picked up the wine cup, swallowed the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the liquor entered his throat, like a line of fire burning from his throat to the tip of his heart, and he couldn't breathe.
"Yes." Murong Xi picked up the wine glass, his eyes rolled, and he smiled slightly, "I'm afraid that my method will make the righteous and awe-inspiring King Yan listen to it, and he will never be willing." ”
"If you don't say it, how do you know that I won't?" Chu Lin drank another cup, his eyes dark.
"My method is very simple, kill! Kill Du Jue's family, burn the county government, so everything is annihilated, a family of six is killed, who else will he marry? Murong Xi raised his eyebrows, and when he talked about killing, he didn't blink, as if he was talking about whether it would rain today.
"It's not a good idea, Du Mei is still here, and the archives of the household department are still there." Murong Xi said such a simple and crude method, Chu Lin was not surprised, he only said lightly where the loopholes were.
"The three daughters of Du Jue said by the King of Shu have no talent and no virtue, only a good skin, how can such a person be Du Mei who opens a restaurant and makes a lot of money in business in the eyes of everyone? Without Du Jue's household registration documents as proof, I expect that the King of Shu would not dare to identify Du Mei as Du Jue's third daughter, otherwise, it would be a disguised admission that he was involved in the ghost.
Besides, the three-year household registration revision registration has begun, as long as Du Mei's household registration is done back unconsciously, this matter will be done, and you are not without this ability! Murong Xi had to admit that Chu Lin's identity was really useful, not like him, if he did something, he had to spend his brains to find the handle of corrupt officials in order to make those guys obedient.
"Don't you think it's a trap? Although Du Jue's official position is small, he is an official of the court after all, and he is going to marry the Seven Kings at the moment, so he is naturally sensitive, if he dies, the court will definitely mobilize forces to thoroughly investigate the murderer.
At that time, the seven kings will fight for this case under the banner of avenging Du Jue, and the household registration documents can be burned, but the archives of the household department, you can't also set a fire, once this matter is big, there is no room for turnaround, but I am afraid that Du Mei can only eat coptis dumbly and admit such a family matter. Chu Lin rubbed the gold-edged orchid on the wine cup and analyzed it calmly.
"So what do you say?" Murong Xi glanced at him, and he had to admit that what Chu Lin said was not unreasonable.
"Like you said, killing and intimidating you is the best, as long as you don't die, do whatever you want, as long as he signs and draws Du Mei back, this matter will be over." Chu Lin smiled faintly, there are some things, due to his status and status, he can't do it, Murong Xi can be caught at hand, and there are no taboos.
"How do you know I'm still imprisoned in him? It is a wonderful plan to treat others in the way of others! Murong Xi stroked his palms and laughed.
"I should go back to the morning court, I will delay as much as possible, you will go immediately, what I can give you, at most two hours." Chu Lin looked out the window, the night was slowly fading, and the sky was about to brighten.
Chu Pei is high in the seat, on weekdays in the solemn court, the ministers are arguing endlessly, arguing, those who are in favor of it naturally appreciate Chu Qing's deep meaning, and those who are against it are talking about the ancestral etiquette, saying that the royal family should not lose its dignity and bearing.
The two gangs quarreled so much that their spit was splashing, and Chu seemed to be nothing, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and stood aside for a long time.
Chu Lin had already informed the courtiers he had befriended, and he was bound to delay time today, he watched coldly, looking at Chu's confident appearance, and did not take the opposition in his eyes at all, thinking about it, the matter of giving marriage was simply a formality!
Just when all the well-educated people couldn't convince anyone, Tang Yuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Qin Zhen, the secretary of Zongzheng Temple, trotted in with an ancient book in their hands, shouting: "Found it, found it!" ”
"Above the main hall, shouting and shouting, what kind of system!" Zhongshu made Song Ping step forward and let out a low shout.
"Yes." Only then did Tang Yuan and Qin Zhen realize that they had lost their temper, and hurriedly gathered their minds and knelt on the ground.
"What are you looking for?" Chu Pei pinched his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
"The minister found such a sentence in the ancient books of etiquette and law five hundred years ago, 'Those who are happy with each other do not think that there is a limit'." Qin Zhen held the book in both hands above his head and knelt down.
"Five hundred years ago, there was such an affectionate sentence, no wonder a dynasty fell!" Chu Pei slapped the dragon chair and shouted.
Hearing the sound, the people who were still arguing just now immediately knelt down, all of them were silent, and they didn't dare to say another half a word, and the whole hall was silent, and the needles could be heard.
"Why don't you speak?" Chu Pei's gaze swept over the bottom and the crowd waited.
"Emperor Qi, the minister thought that the king of Shu was deeply affectionate to his deceased wife, and he met a person with a similar appearance, and his heart was also reasonable, if he got what he wanted, he would be at peace in the house, and he would be more conscientious in the previous dynasty, and I was fortunate in the Dashun Dynasty!" Su Yan knelt on the ground and whispered in defense.
"Emperor Qiqi, the ancestor emperor of our dynasty is wise and martial, and when the founding of the country formulated the law and ceremony system, he eliminated the dross of the previous dynasty's non-compliant system, so as not to prevent the clan and the royal family from being trapped in petty love and slackness, so that the country is sluggish and the people are lost. Today, if you miss the old feelings for the king of Chengshu, you have to change the etiquette system, which is really not a wise choice. Song Ping fell to the ground, tears flowing.
Some people agreed, followed by some opposed, one by one the well-read ministers stood up to speak, and the court was immediately divided into two camps, and some people swayed from side to side, not knowing who to speak for, so they simply stood aside and watched the battle.
Such a stalemate lasted for an hour, and the two camps were arguing with each other, and the ministers were all rich and talented people, and they did not give in to each other for a while.
Chu Pei leaned on the dragon chair, and saw clearly the groups of people naturally divided by the ministers below, and after a while, he waved his hand, sighed faintly and said: "That's it, the seven kings and the princess have always had a deep love for flounder, if that woman can solve your long-term lovesickness, as a brother, it will always be one or two, but the etiquette can not be abandoned, her identity can not be a concubine, and it is just a noble concubine, if you get a man and half a woman in the future, you can raise a side concubine." ”
"Thank you for your grace!" Chu Huan kowtowed to the ground happily.
Chu Lin had tried his best to delay, and when he heard this, although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but mourn in his heart, as if he had been stripped of his heart and liver!
