Chapter 41 - Plan before you act

At this time, an uninvited guest was ushered in in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Lin Feng, who was wrapped in a gray cloak, grovelled into the Prime Minister's Mansion and confessed to the Prime Minister: "Xiang Ye, see Xiang Ye." ”

Chu Qingxiang was talking to Lu Shanshan, and when he saw him come in, he asked Lu Shanshan to avoid it, and said to Lin Feng: "Isn't this the head of the Lin family, the first family in Kyoto?" I wonder what the head of the family is visiting today? ”

Lin Feng bowed down and showed his sincerity, "Please also ask Xiangye to disturb us in a way of life." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chu Qingxiang raised his eyebrows and asked pretending to be confused.

"The villain knows that he is not sensible recently, which makes Xiangye unhappy, so Xiangye degrades the villain's children and grandchildren, and the villain specially comes to ask Xiangye for the guilt, and I hope that Xiangye you are magnanimous and bypass the villain this time." Lin Feng lowered his own figure as much as possible, which surprised Chu Qingxiang, but from his words, he didn't see the true sincerity, this old fox must be covering up something.

So Chu Qingxiang was not in a hurry, but took a sip of tea lightly, moistened his throat and said slowly: "What did the Lin family master say, Lin Qiwen's little guys are good at learning, how can I bear to watch them learn in Kyoto?" I transferred them to a wild land with high mountains and far waters, just in the hope that they would be able to do their best to benefit the people. ”

Lin Feng is such a treacherous and cunning, he didn't intend to impress Chu Qingxiang with his words, but he didn't expect him to be so resolute, he had no choice but to ask: "I don't know what the villain should do to let Xiangye release my children and grandchildren?" ”

"Master Lin, my true appearance is also for your sake." Chu Qingxiang knew that Lin Feng was driven crazy by him, otherwise he would not have tried his best to please him so humbly, so he threw out the bait.

"What did Xiangye say about this?" Lin Feng was slightly surprised, he would not be naΓ―ve to think that he belonged to Jin Huai, the king of Pingnan, and the enemies of Jin Huai would think about him.

"See for yourself." Chu Qingxiang indifferently handed him a thick letter and said, "Although the Lin family has a big business, they can't bear the trapping of the villain, right?" After all, in my Great Jin Dynasty, there are still examples of tens of thousands of people in my family beheading. "In the early days of the Jin Dynasty, Jin Taizu was angry and killed tens of thousands of lives of the wealthy gentry Gu family at that time.

Lin Feng looked at those report letters, and the more he read them, the more frightened he felt in the report letters, which gave detailed examples of how his Lin family was greedy and perverted the law, colluded with thieves to try to rebel, and even the handwritten letter of his correspondence with King Jinhuai of Pingnan was in this full letter. He was so frightened that his legs trembled slightly, he looked at Chu Qingxiang, knelt down regardless of his dignity, and said, "Xiangye spares his life!" "Although the emperor is seriously ill, if he sees these letters, it will be effortless to kill him a little Lin family!

Chu Qingxiang smiled kindly, helped him up, squinted his fox eyes and smiled: "Doesn't the Lin family master want to know who reported you?" ”

Lin Feng was so smart, from his correspondence with Jin Huai, he knew three points, and he asked Chu Qingxiang in disbelief: "Lord Wang, why did he do this?" ”

"Abandoning the army to protect the commander has always been something careerists are used to doing, not to mention that your Lin family is just a scholarly family, and the authority in his hands is some literary institutions, although it is easy to accumulate wealth, but it cannot achieve his ambitions." Chu Qingxiang looked at the tea bowl lightly and said.

"But even so, the power of the Lin family should not be underestimated." Lin Feng still wanted to quibble, after all, he had been loyal to King Pingnan for so long, even if it was useless, it could open the door to him in some aspects.

"This is simpler, your Lin family and General Sima's Mansion have always been at odds, and there were some unpleasant conflicts a few days ago, he Jin Huai wants to win over the General's Mansion, and he is bound to take you under the knife, do you think the general has helped him a lot, or is your Lin family, who can't be civil and military, more useful to him? Moreover, Jin Huai must have thought that if Benxiang received these report letters, he would be eager to eradicate his wings, that is, kill your Lin family, so that he would not have to worry that you Lin Feng might betray him at any time. Chu Qingxiang analyzed it very clearly, and it seemed that this was the case.

In fact, only he and Sima Wuya knew in their hearts that these secret letters were just a means for Jin Bingbing to steal out of Jin Huai's study and make a deal with them, Jin Bingbing and Lin Qiwen of the Lin family had a marriage contract before, and he may not want to marry Lin Qiwen, so he made this decision to eradicate the Lin family, so that she could stay in the palace and be the county lord with peace of mind.

But Chu Qingxiang still didn't dare to believe her easily, after all, Jin Bingbing was a descendant of a conspirator who came out of the old nest of conspiracy, she was different from Jin Xiangxiang, Jin Xiangxiang grew up in a harem without women, and only learned to be ruthless in the harem. There aren't many hearts and eyes. So for Jin Bingbing, he also left a back move.

This thing was shown in front of Lin Feng, but it was difficult for him to believe it, because the handwritten letter he wrote to Jin Huai, except for Jin Huai, it was impossible for anyone to steal it, not to mention how heavily guarded the Pingnan Mansion was, even if it was the top master of the General's Mansion, it was absolutely impossible for him to come and go without a trace. Thinking so, he believed eight points, and hurriedly sought refuge from Chu Qingxiang and said, "Please also ask Xiangye to show me the way." ”

"This is simple, on the occasion of the sixtieth birthday of the prime minister, did the head of the Lin family send someone into the mansion to inquire about something?" Chu Qingxiang squinted, his eyes were deep and sharp, so that Lin Feng didn't dare to lie, so he replied truthfully: "The assassin that day was indeed appointed by the old man, and it was King Pingnan who asked me to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to check what was going on with the red Yingluo on Chu Hongying's body. ”

Chu Qingxiang was startled, he knocked the tea bowl with two fingers, but he didn't expect that Jin Huai had found out that there was a red Yingluo in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't know why Chu Luo's red Yingluo came into Hong Ying's hand.

"Hong Ying, Chu Hongying, Chu Luo, Hong Yingluo, it shouldn't be just a simple coincidence, right?" Chu Qingxiang pondered, but couldn't figure it out, so he continued to ask Lin Feng: "So that time when Hong Ying was named the county lord of Anxi and entered the palace to thank her, the prince couldn't sit still and sent an assassin to kill her!" "As for why the group of black-clothed people targeted Chu Luo, I'm afraid that Jin Huai has already suspected Chu Luo, and he can't be passive anymore.

He said it very firmly, and Lin Feng also knew that there was no way to quibble, not to mention that he and the prime minister were now grasshoppers on the same rope, and if something happened to the prime minister, he would definitely be disposed of by Jin Huai, so he had to know everything and say everything.

Although Jin Huai's Sima Zhao's heart was well known to passers-by, but from Lin Feng's mouth, Chu Qingxiang was still slightly surprised, he didn't expect that Jin Huai had already mastered most of the Royal Forest Army, no wonder he could know at the first time that there was a red Yingluo on Hong Ying's body. If he doesn't take any more measures, I'm afraid that Emperor Jin Ming will really become a puppet!

Jin Ming conspired with Lin Feng for a long time, and the people outside the courtyard could only hear sporadic quarrels, and after a long time, Xiangye smashed the cup in his hand at Lin Feng, and Lin Feng left the house in anger.

Jin Huai's eyeliner immediately told him about the dispute between Lin Feng and Xiangye, at this time, Jin Huai, who was dressed in a black dragon-patterned robe and thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, glanced at the black-clothed man who was kneeling on the ground and wearing a black scarf, frowned and said, "The old man Tianji that this king asked you to find, is there a clue?" ”

The man in black trembled in panic and said, "I found it, but the old man Tianji is unwilling to enter Beijing...... See the prince. ”

"What?" Jin Huai slapped the table angrily, squinted his terrifying eagle eyes, and snorted: "In the whole world, except for the two old immortal guys of the prime minister and the general, who else dares not to give me face to King Pingnan?" "Just because he can station his mansion in Kyoto and rule over the land of Gyeongeup, you can see that he has a lot of power.

The man in black became even more nervous under his sharp eagle eyes, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates are incompetent, and I ask Lord Wang to punish him." "If you want to be exonerated, you must first confess your sin!

Although Jin Huai was angry, he also knew that the blame was not him, so he waved his sleeves and told him to get out.

Jin Bingbing was dressed in white and shengxue, with a quiet smile, like a hollow valley orchid, she walked in from outside the door of Jin Huai's room, took a deep look at the person's back, and then blessed her body, and said with a smile: "My daughter has seen my father." ”

When Jin Huai saw her, he asked, "What about your brother?" ”

"Father doesn't know, my brother has been in a state since he came back from the last time he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and today is the birthday of the county lord of Anxi, so he must be chasing the county lord of Anxi to walk his horse." Jin Bingbing's face was as calm as water, Jin Huai's eagle eyes probed on her face, but he never found anything, and sometimes he even felt that his daughter was deeper and disguised than him.

"Count her fate, she didn't die twice." Jin Huai snorted and said, "But since she is an orphan of the Gu family, I don't have much time to waste on her little descendant of a sinner, you let the shadow keep an eye on Chu Luo." "Anyway, Chu Luo is Chu Qingxiang's grandson, could it be that he gave Hong Yingluo to Hong Ying? But how could something so important be given away so easily?

"Father, Sister Xiangxiang wants you to come forward, talk to the emperor, and get Chu Hongying into the palace." Jin Bingbing still said quietly, but what she said at this moment was not conducive to adding fuel to the fire, Jin Huai, who was already in a bad mood, heard her words, and said angrily: "She knows men, and she thinks about how to please men all day long, and she is cheap!" ”

Jin Bingbing hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the stuffiness in his chest for him, and said, "Sister, it's not easy for her to be in the palace, so don't be angry with her." ”

Jin Huai looked at her cold face, and suddenly asked a word that he had been choking on in his heart: "Bingbing, my father wants to know what you think." ”

Jin Bingbing's fingers trembled slightly, hiding the glow in his eyes, and said lightly: "Where does my daughter have any thoughts, everything depends on my father." ”

Jin Huai looked at his daughter who was a little overly talkative with some surprise, and didn't believe that she would understand the general situation like this.

Jin Bingbing was still expressionless under his inquiring gaze, and said: "The daughter came to this world because of her father, so no matter what her father does, the daughter will support her father." ”

She bit the word daughter, which made Jin Huai feel that the tiger was poisonous and did not eat the child, in the same way, the tiger did not know his father, no matter how elusive this daughter was, after all, it was also his daughter, if he suspected his daughter, it would be too frightened.
