Chapter 098: Unexpected
Chapter 098: Unexpected
Lin Mubai had the intention of taking this opportunity to sweep away dissidents and clear a way for the three princes. He thought that even if he couldn't bring down the Liu family this time, he would be able to play a role in knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. Unexpectedly, this time it was really a problem. After checking and checking, a lot of evidence was found, but all of them pointed to another unexpected figure - cabinet scholar Lu Zijia.
Speaking of this Lu Zijia, his identity is also very promising, he was once the teacher of the eldest prince Sheng Xuanrui. The relationship between the two is also that of a teacher and a friend, and the friendship has been deep over the years. If the court is divided into four parties by four princes, then he is an out-and-out big prince's party. When the eldest prince was drunk, he was good at riding a royal horse, and in the middle of the night, the third watch made a chicken and dog jump in the palace. At that time, the emperor was furious and wanted to give him sixty canes, and none of the ministers dared to intercede for him, but this Lu Zijia insisted on defending him and asked for a commutation of his sentence. In the end, he finally annoyed the emperor, so he punished him with Sheng Xuanrui and carried thirty rods for him. To this day, Lin Mubai still remembers Lu Zijia's expression at that time. Even though he was stripped of his clothes and pants and tortured in public, he still looked fearless, and even had some regret that he could not fully bear the punishment for his master.
Because they are their masters and they don't know each other well on weekdays, Lin Mubai has neither a good impression nor a bad feeling for this thorn. never thought that a case of Sheng Xuanyuan would lead him out, Lin Mubai was very surprised by this. Does this person still want to support Sheng Xuanrui to be the prince?
Because of the soul dispersion made by Zhilan, Lin Mubai didn't have to spend so much effort, just a light sprinkling, and the answer was about to come out. So Lu Zijia was also very happy, it turned out that he really had this thought. This trick not only confessed the eldest prince, but also brought out the eldest prince's mother, Concubine Li, and his brother Zhang Jinnian. It turned out that they figured out that the emperor's mind was "to establish a grandson but not a long, and to establish a long and not a virtuous", so once the son-in-law Sheng Xuanyuan is eliminated, the boss Sheng Xuanrui is the best candidate.
This is the smoothest case that Lin Mubai has ever tried. But for some reason, it went so smoothly that it made him feel weird. Judging from the previous clues, he always thought that this matter was done by Concubine Chen and Liu Muzhi, but he didn't want things to take a turn for the worse, and all the evidence fell to the side of the eldest prince, but the Liu family was wiped out. Did he mistake the Liu family, or did the Liu family want to kill two birds with one stone through this matter? In any case, at the moment, whether these people planned this matter themselves or were used as guns, their charges have been confirmed.
It was early spring in February, and there was still a bit of spring cold. But even so, it can't resist people's increasingly lively search for spring. As the saying goes, "the warm rain and sunny wind are beginning to break the freezing, and the willow eyes and plum cheeks are already feeling the spring heartbeat". Liufu, which has been silent for several months, is also busy up and down because the male owner is about to return. The wives and concubines and girls in each house and courtyard were also busy making new clothes and dressing up, so as to grab the master's attention first. Not to be outdone, Miss Scarlet made an early reservation for Ruifuxiang's new light-looking sarong this year. No, Ruifuxiang just sent someone to deliver the clothes, and Scarlet tried them on in the house.
"Tut-tut, the girl is really speechless. Wearing this Hunan concubine-colored light veil again, it is really like a begonia flower, the old man comes back and sees the girl, make sure that his eyes are bright! Thrush kept praising Scarlet as she took care of her clothes.
Scarlet was looking in the mirror and was satisfied, and she was even happier when she heard the thrush's words, so she smiled and said, "You little hoof, the master's kung fu is getting better and better!" ”
"The girl has really wronged the slave and maid by saying this. Isn't every word of my word true? Although the thrush was smiling with a smile on his face, his belly was full of sorrow. Since receiving the master's letter a few days ago, she has been in this mood. The lady of the Zhao family who was in Ruifuxiang chatted with her a few words when she delivered the goods, but she talked about it again, which aroused her troubles again.
Since Thrush arrived in the Liufu, because Liu Muzhi has been absent from the Mansion, she has received very little information. So she chose a few nights and sneaked into Liu Muzhi's study to rummage through things while people were unprepared, hoping to find some useful information. But Liu Muzhi seemed to be very careful, and there was nothing suspicious left in the house. Thrush even went through all the letters he had exchanged with people, but couldn't find anything. Come to think of it, even Pang Xin, who did things for him before, can make such a big living person disappear cleanly, let alone those things.
Thinking of this, Thrush's heart was filled with frustration.
At this time, Scarlet had already tried on the gauze and was about to change it, but saw that the thrush was absent-minded, so she asked, "Mei'er, what do you want to be so distracted?" ”
The thrush hurriedly handed over the change of clothes in his hand and said, "The slave maid thought that when the master came back, he would definitely come here to ask the girl to serve." But the slave maid hasn't seen the master yet, and I don't know what his temperament is, so I'm a little scared in my heart! ”
Scarlet took the clothes and said, "This is unusual, do you still know how to be afraid?" A few days ago, I saw you clean up Xiaozhu and a few of them, but it was a bit chivalrous! This is a small incident in the first month. A few rough girls in the courtyard may have been dissatisfied with the thrush, and they squeezed her everywhere on weekdays, and when they saw her ignoring her, they thought it was a soft persimmon. One day, in the absence of the master, a few girls were in the courtyard, and they scolded the thrush loudly with guns and sticks. I didn't want to be a thrush, but in a fit of rage, I a bench and rushed out of the house, and when I saw one smashing the other, I drove those little girls all over the yard, and they all hugged their heads and ran around. When Fei'er came back, she saw such a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
The thrush then laughed and said: "That's because they are too deceitful, and the rabbit will bite if they are forced to be in a hurry!" But he sneered in his heart. If she hadn't had to hide her identity, with her skills, she wouldn't have had to deal with these rats in such a pretend.
I only heard Scarlet Er sigh and said, "As for the master, you don't have to worry too much." He's busy on weekdays, and he doesn't come much, so you just have to behave. As soon as she talked about the master, she was a little unhappy in her tone. It seems that Scarlet is also a little disgusted with this old man.
Thrush's heart suddenly moved. In the past few months, she and this scarlet have gotten along day and night, and they have become familiar like sisters, and their words have become more and more casual. Yesterday, I heard Fei'er talk about the past, mentioning that he was unsuccessful in finding his father in Texas, and he got on the Lin family's ship with his mother and went south to Yangzhou. And listening to her tone, it seems that she still has a little bit of thought about Young Master Lin. Why don't you just start with her?
