Beijing Baihuatang (II)

Chen Cheng's expression was very heavy: "Lord Lin's case used to be a top secret of Pingluan Pavilion, because it needed to be investigated by the guards, I only knew a rough idea, and Chen Cheng also told me some about it that day." About three years ago, Lord Lin discovered that there was a force in the capital that was smuggling a large amount of gold from Yichang, Longchang, and Xiangyang, and Lord Lin and Chen Cheng investigated the matter, but strangely enough, the emperor repeatedly ordered them not to investigate these people. Lord Lin and Chen Cheng thought it was very strange, and secretly investigated and collected quite a lot of evidence, most of which pointed directly to the crown prince Yixiang. But Lord Lin and Chen Chengdu couldn't figure out how the prince could cut his wings and steal the gold that should have been in the treasury to enrich himself. Before the evidence collection of the case was over, someone played the emperor and said that Lord Lin took advantage of his position, often went in and out of the palace to secretly communicate with the emperor's concubine Niangniang, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, suspended Lord Lin's post, Lord Lin was speechless, and his wife at home also had a lot of trouble with him because of this, One day Chen Cheng came to the door to discuss the case with Lord Lin, wanted to clear his name, Let him be reinstated, Somehow Lord Lin's concubine annoyed Mrs., Mrs. Lin was using scissors to stab the concubine, and chased to Lord Lin. Accidentally injured Lord Lin, Chen Cheng felt that it was a family matter, I didn't want to interfere, who would have thought that Mrs. Lin had really hurt Lord Lin by mistake, and no one thought that the scissors were poisonous. Chen Cheng watched Master Lin die in front of him. There are many capable people in Pingluan Pavilion, and since the people are dead, the emperor can no longer prohibit them from investigating the matter of Concubine Li because of dry vinegar. After a lot of investigation, all the evidence shows that the initiator is the former prince Yixiang, from the theft of gold, having an affair with Concubine Li, and letting her slander Lord Lin, to buying the subordinates in the mansion to poison the scissors. The concubine was also bought by Yixiang.

When Chen Cheng was about to commit suicide to apologize because he had not protected Lord Lin well, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt that many things were unreasonable. Although Lord Lin doesn't know martial arts, but he has been in charge of Pingluan Pavilion for fifteen years, and has made many achievements, why does the prince have to kill him quickly, why can't he keep a capable minister for himself? Was it just because he found out about the gold theft? But the theft of gold is only a possibility, there is no completely conclusive evidence, and the emperor has ordered that it is forbidden to investigate again. If it is related to the Kim case, then he is also involved in the investigation, why is he okay? And at that time, the former prince had been restricted from moving, how could he instruct people to harm Lord Lin. So he felt that there must be other reasons for this, and someone didn't want Lord Lin to live. The guy may have found out why, but he didn't say. ”

Later, Lian'er learned the reason from Xinjie and the emperor, in fact, the reason is very simple, and it is very helpless and ridiculous, which is why Xinjie was reluctant to take over Pingluan Pavilion in the first place, because this matter was arranged by the emperor. The gold was ostensibly smuggling, but in fact it was the emperor's special order to transfer it to other reserves, because of his years of inaction, from the gold mines, the gold bureau to the vault, have been seriously festered, he himself has been unable to investigate and deal with the theft of gold in the inventory, the newly mined gold can not be put into the warehouse, and the vault of the gold bureau is full of lead blocks covered with gold skins. What Lian'er didn't expect was that she would later be involved in this mysterious vault incident.

Because Lord Lin found out the location of these additional vaults, the emperor suspected that he was in the same party as those who stole gold, and Concubine Li in the palace was indeed involved in the gold theft case. In the absence of evidence, but only suspicion, the emperor decided to execute them, but he could not give an order to the death of his most important minister, so he dealt with them in the childish way of the minister's fornication with the imperial concubine. Then put the blame on the crown prince, who had already decided to be deposed. Although later facts proved that the emperor's guess was not wrong, the king of a country, without evidence, executed his important ministers for many years on trumped-up charges. Such a king is too undisciplined and unreasonable, how to make his subordinates have a sense of belonging and security, and how to do his best for him.

Back then, it was because he read all kinds of lewd behaviors in the records of the emperor going to Jiangnan, and learned the truth of Lord Lin's case, so Xinjie refused to enter the Pingluan Pavilion, if there was no guarantee from the Queen Mother, and no Queen Mother persuaded him with the truth that the Ming monarch could rule the world to protect the safety of the people, he would have left a long time ago, how could he enter the court as an official and find so much burden for himself.

"Big brother, there is one more thing I need your help with, today Lan Xin came to Baihuatang." Lian'er turned to Xintian: "Can you ask the master to write another letter to Uncle Lan, so that he can still send someone to the capital to bring Lan Xin back." She should still be living with Uncle Batang now. ”

"Then I'll let Uncle Batang take care of her. There are already a lot of things going on now, and it will be even more annoying if she is used to do something again. ”

"Yes, and judging from her words, she shouldn't be alone now, there must be someone outside who contacted her, it is not strange for her to know that Xinjie went to Jiangnan, and it is strange that she knows the movements of Yumen. I don't know what her real purpose was when she came to me, but I think someone was behind her. Not to mention how Lan Xin might make trouble, Uncle Lan is an important minister of the court after all, if Lan Xin is careless in making friends and implicates him, it will not be good. And the relationship between Aunt Batang......"She didn't say it, all the brothers understood that if Xinfeng was provoked by her to make trouble, it would also involve the Tang family.

Xintian nodded: "Daddy is in Kansai, and this back and forth also takes time, so it's better for me to write to Uncle Lan, and then also write to Daddy to tell him that he knows." ”

"That's fine."

Then a few people discussed some other things, and saw Jing An come in with a few maids. Seeing several of her brothers in the hall, she seemed to relax a little.

Xintian frowned slightly: "How did you find here?" ”

Jing'an glanced at Lian'er, but saw that Xinye and Xinyang were sitting next to her, far away from Xintian, and felt a little embarrassed.

Her little eyes didn't escape the few people present, and Jing An was not stupid, so she felt that it was better to be frank: "Today, my aunt asked me to see my grandmother." happened to meet Ruoyu and went back from outside, saying that he saw you and Sister Lian coming to Tianyin Tower. I thought that you and the third young grandmother are busy people, and there must be something interesting to come here at this time, so let's take a look. ”

Xintian glanced at her and didn't speak, and there was a little irritability in her eyes, Jing An bit her lower lip, she knew that she was being used as a gun again.

In a room on the third floor, Yang Huihui looked at the people in the hall through the crack in the window. This third young grandmother is interesting, the Tang family and Tang Xinjie have so many properties under their names, why do you have to come to her Tianyin Tower to talk about things? Could it really be that the master said that this man was not angry at the farce of the wedding, but would come to tempt him to be an ally? She remembered the master's determined expression after she had sent red coral that night. Could this really be what the master said, the gap between her and the discerning person?

Several young masters of the Tang Gate, and now the young ladies of the three young ladies who are big celebrities in front of the prince, gathered in the hall of her Tianyin Building to discuss things, This is to make people think that Tianyin Building also belongs to the Tang Gate? Or have they realized that the forces behind Tianyin Tower can be used by them? Where did this third young grandmother get her guts and ideas? Although Tianyinlou is the master's capital, she Yang Huihui has worked hard to build it, and she is not willing to turn Tianyinlou into a protective umbrella for outsiders. She quickly closed the window and retreated into the room, just thinking about how to go out to clear up the relationship, when she saw Wu Zihan from the Anyuan Dart Bureau coming in. Wu Zihan is the head of the Anyuan Dart Bureau on the surface, but in fact, he is the force arranged by the master in the capital. The two are considered partners, and they can be regarded as a dewy couple. Wu Zihan hugged her as soon as she came in, and she struggled: "I still have something." ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Zihan was a little impatient, the master sent him out to run errands, he was not in the capital for more than half a month, he was not comfortable, he hurriedly came to find her, where would he let go.

Yang Huihui grabbed the big hand that was digging on her chest: "You wait for me to finish my business." ”

"What's so urgent?" Wu Zihan stopped, he is not an unreasonable person.

"Did you see the hall when you came?" Yang Huihui said angrily: "I'm going to make it clear to the woman of the Tang family, although we gave a wedding gift, it has nothing to do with the Tang family, they don't want to cause trouble for me at this time." ”

Hearing this, Wu Zihan hugged her again: "Don't worry about this." Doesn't the master know that giving gifts like that will make people pay attention to us and the Tang Sect? Who is the master? For so many years, his mind is not something we can guess. The master is good to the three young men of the Tang family, what if he is willing to help him? Aren't you causing trouble for your master? ”

"I just don't want him to think about the past all the time." Yang Huihui said with annoyance.

Wu Zihan pulled off most of her unsturdy dress in three strokes, pressed her on the bed, and looked at her very seriously: "Huihui, the man in your life is me." The master uses you, but it's just a pee. Whether it was in the past or in the future, we are all slaves of the master, and it is impossible for him to have you in his heart, nor can he give you a name. Whether he has a woman in his mind or not, it won't be you. Whatever she was thinking, let's get started.

Yang Huihui felt a pain in his heart because of his words, and he was a little dazed, and he didn't pay attention to his movements, until he felt the discomfort of being invaded. A little angrily slapped him. Wu Zihan didn't care, and continued to be busy with himself, just a little panting: "Huihui, we've been together for many years." If you follow your master like this, you don't know how long you can live. Don't think so much, as long as I, Wu Zihan, am in the day, I will accompany you for a happy day. Don't think about what doesn't belong to us. Have you ever seen fewer women in your life who live a miserable life? Whether it is a master, a nobleman or a royal family, in fact, which women look noble, but they have not been cherished by men all their lives, and their lives are far inferior to yours. Why are you clinging? ”

Yang Huihui also knew that what he said was the most true, but she was always unwilling.
