"What did you say?!" A man in a red and yellow brocade robe rose from his chair, the golden dragon on his robe hovering as he swung, his eyes full of anger, almost angry. He has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a dignified appearance, extraordinary aura, and the majesty of some superiors between his eyebrows and eyes, and he is in the year of standing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry." An old man with half-gray hair who looked like he was fifty holding his hands, and there was a calmness on his face.

That's right, the identities of these two people are extraordinary, the man dressed in red and yellow is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the current dynasty - Ling Yin, and the one with his hands arched in front of him is Ling Yin's henchman, named Lu Shun, the official worships the second grade - the soldier of the military department.

Ling Yin's eyes were still full of anger, and he said in a calm voice: "How can I calm my anger?!" How did these rumors come out and spread all over the streets?! ”

Lu Shun is serious: "Weichen is sending someone to investigate, Your Highness should be calm and impatient."

Ling Yin suppressed the anger in his heart, packed up his senses, thought for a while, and said word by word: "Lord Lu, it is imperative that these rumors be calmed down first, otherwise, if it spreads among the eunuchs, how can this prince establish his prestige, and most importantly, this prince must not lose the hearts of the people."

Lu Shun received the order and immediately said, "The old minister understands." But he paused, and asked with a suspicious look: "But His Royal Highness the Prince, in your opinion, why did someone spread this rumor?" We all know the news that the maid of the Bai family's concubine was abducted in the General's Mansion, but why, did this rumor spread to you? ”

Ling Yin frowned when he heard his words, he didn't expect these things, it's just that he couldn't think of who wanted to frame him, he was so bold that he actually framed him.

Ling Yin: "What does Lord Lu think about this?"

Lu Shun speculated while thinking about it: "This person must want to separate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Jugao, although Bai Jugao never stands up, but he is towards the emperor, if Bai Jugao is suspicious of His Royal Highness the Prince, then it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who will lose more than he gains." But Weichen thought to himself, among the princes, except for the second prince and His Royal Highness, there was no one else. ”

Ling Yin frowned: "You mean Ling Jing?" Ling Jing is Ling Yin's second brother, and his mother is a concubine who is on a par with the queen in the harem.

Lu Shun shook his head, with a rigorous look, and said, "Weichen is just guessing, not sure." But apart from the second prince, Weichen couldn't think of anyone else. ”

Ling Yin's face was like the bottom of a pot: "What you said is not unreasonable, this matter, Prince Ben personally asked people to investigate." If it was really him, then he would have to let him take off a layer of skin!

Lu Shun: "Then Weichen went down first, and quelled these rumors earlier."

Ling Yin nodded, and after Lu Shun went down, a person walked out from behind Ling Yin's study, a beautiful woman, hired Tingting, like a seductive goblin.

She is Ling Yin's advisor, named Ruohua, and is nicknamed the beautiful fox. was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, but Ling Yin heard about her talent and strategy, and invited her back to the mansion as his advisor, and since then, Ruohua has become the best choice for Ling Yin to win the layout.

Ling Yin sat on the jade, picked up the hot tea in front of him and stared at it slightly: "What does Ruohua think of this?"

Ruohua walked up to him, sat on the jade in front of him, and said, "Ruohua thinks that this matter should not be done by the second prince."

Ling Yin looked up at her: "Why?"

"The second prince originally fought against you, which is something that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty know. If the second prince wants to stumble on you, he will only come secretly, and will never rush to the surface, and it will be known to everyone. Ruohua analyzed the head, so that Ling Yin in front of her couldn't help but look at her and speak,

"Yi Ruohua thinks that this matter should be done by the people of Taiwei's Mansion."

Ling Yin frowned: "You mean, the people from the Taiwei Mansion provoked me?"

Ruohua shook his head: "No, Ruohua thinks that this is the practice of the Taiwei Mansion throwing green branches to His Highness." She explained: "Perhaps, someone really said to the little injured maid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did it, but Bai Jugao is not a fool, how could he believe these words to sow discord." But he couldn't really catch the murderer, so he could only make this decision so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could deal with this matter. ”

But Ling Yin still frowned, and said, "If that's the case, just say it directly to the prince, why slander the reputation of the prince again!" He was a little angry, and he couldn't understand what benefits Bai Jugao could get by doing this, and maybe he would offend him!

Ruohua smiled slightly and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, has Bai Jugao never helped anyone?"

Ling Yin nodded: "This is natural, otherwise how can it be said to be an old naughty boy."

Ruohua smiled, made a cup of tea for Ling Yin, and said slowly: "Your Highness, this is exactly where Bai Jugao is clever. He also thought that this matter must not be done by His Royal Highness, or the second prince. Therefore, he dared to release rumors like this, in fact, he wanted to prove that Your Highness, how capable you are in handling this matter, if you can help him catch the murderer, then he owes you a favor; If he can't, and he offends you because of this, then he can ask the second prince to help him, and then he will stand with the second prince. ”

Ling Yin frowned: "But, it's just a maidservant, why bother like this?" What he meant, just a maidservant, even if he helped, could he make Bai Jugao remember the favor?!

Ruohua: "Your Highness, do you know that Bai Jugao loves his daughter-in-law very much?"

Ling Yin nodded: "This prince knows."

Ruohua: "Then, the injured maid and the maidservant girl who was killed are all subordinates of Bai Ju's daughter Bai Zi, so wouldn't it threaten Bai Zi's life?" He loves her daughter so much, he will never let people threaten Bai Zi's life, so it is not unreasonable to make this decision. She continued:

"Your Highness, think about it, Bai Jugao's words in front of His Majesty are very weighty, if you can get his words to help, then, why can't Your Highness be the second prince in front of Your Majesty? Besides, although His Royal Highness has Lord Lu, the squire of the military department, the second prince also has General Hu to help, besides, there are 100,000 troops in the hands of the Hu soldiers, and Lord Lu is only 20,000 small soldiers, which is not as good as the Hu soldiers under the second prince. She paused, afraid that Ling Yin's thinking would be confused, so she paused for a moment before continuing:

"However, if Your Highness can get Bai Jugao's help, it will not only be the Taiwei Mansion. Don't forget, although the Taiwei Mansion has little contact with the General Zhan's Mansion, in the final analysis, the two families are still in-laws, and Zhan Zhen will definitely not look at each other coldly if there is anything. Moreover, Zhan Zhen hurts her daughter, if Bai Jugao is from His Royal Highness the Prince's side, then Zhan Zhen will never go against him. When the time comes, the 100,000 Ansan army will be in your pocket. ”

When Ling Yin heard this, it was like a morning bell and a dusk drum, which suddenly stimulated his enthusiasm. Ling Yin nodded and said, "What Ruohua said makes sense, I will immediately order it to go down and let people investigate the real murderer!" He shouted, "High bell!"
