Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Insider
After all, Lin Tao is a person who has gone through the world, and while he picked up Lin Jia, he instructed Ye Chunheng, who came over: "Go and see who tied the rope!"
I decided to come to Bezhuang today to enjoy the plum blossoms last night, and the snow started to fall last night, so the people who tied the rope to stop Lin Jia will definitely leave clues on the snow.
The racetrack was covered with snow, and Lin Jia slid down from the horse at just the right angle, so the right side of his face was scratched by a stone under the snow, although he shed a lot of blood, it was not a serious injury.
As soon as Lin Jia was picked up by Lin Tao, he tried his best to say: "Father, you must deal with it fairly this time, otherwise I will take action myself...... Please ask my father to send a cronie to investigate the matter with Qingzhou Judge Hu Yingzhi......"
Looking at Lin Jia's side face with a wound in the crook of his arm, Lin Tao said in a deep voice: "Let Ye Chunheng and Hu Yingzhi investigate this matter together!"
Lin Jia replied "yes", closed her eyes and fainted.
Lin Yi had already reined in the horse and walked over, seeing that Lin Jia looked miserable, but in fact there was no big problem, so he said: "Father, maybe the children in Zhuangzi are playing with the rope tied up, why make a fuss!"
Lin Tao looked down at Lin Jia and did not speak.
At this time, Yu Yu had already run over, and just heard Lin Yi's words, she took out a clean silk handkerchief, knelt on one knee, gently wiped the blood on Lin Jia's side face, and then got up and bowed, pointing to the still tight hemp rope and said: "Lord Wang, the price of such a white hemp rope is not cheap, which adult would let a child take such a valuable white hemp rope out to play?" Please be sure to investigate! ”
Lin Tao was about to say more, when he raised his eyes and saw a few little maids carrying the old lady over with their shoulders, so he kept silent.
Lin Tao left Ye Chunheng to investigate the scene, and he carried Lin Jia back to the main courtyard of Beizhuang.
The old lady and Princess Li and others also followed back.
Alan Pegasus went to ask for a doctor.
Lin Jia soon woke up.
The doctor came to take a look and found that Lin Jia had no other injuries, so he applied some medicine powder to Lin Jia to stop bleeding, and prescribed a prescription to calm the nerves and relieve pain, so he said goodbye and left.
Lin Tao felt uncomfortable and sat on the edge of the bed with Lin Jia all the time.
Yu Yu and Ah Lan stood aside, both silent.
The old lady would rest for a while in the main hall of the inner courtyard, accompanied by the three sisters, Princess Li and Lin Lixiang.
Seeing Lin Jia's tragic situation, the old lady's eyes moistened, and she held Lin Jia's hand: "My poor Ajia, poor Ajia, how can unlucky things happen to you......"
Lin Tao glanced at the old lady and said in his heart: Is this an unlucky thing? It's obvious that someone is harming Ajia! Mother is so eccentric!
Thinking of this, he remembered the past of the year, and glanced at Princess Li again.
Princess Li has been tested for a long time, although she is a little flustered in her heart, for fear that Li Yugui, who arranged this matter, will be found out by Ye Chunheng and Hu Yingzhi, but her face is still very calm, and when she saw Lin Jia's tragic situation, she even shed a few sad tears: "Alas, how can this child be so troubled!"
Lin Tao's eyes narrowed, and he deliberately calmly said today's events, and then said, "My son thinks that someone is trying to harm Ajia!"
Listening to Lin Tao tell what happened, the old lady's expression became solemn: "Your Majesty just issued an edict to summon Ah Jia to the capital, Ah Jia is very important to the Xingping County Palace, but now someone wants to harm him, we must thoroughly investigate this matter and find out such a ruthless person!"
Lin Tao nodded.
He felt strange that he and his two sons Lin Jia and Lin Yi were racing side by side, but as soon as the drum sounded, Lin Yi suddenly coughed, and he stopped the horse to see Lin Yi, and Lin Jia, who had never been competitive, rode out at a gallop and rushed to the front like lightning, but he tripped over the white hemp rope......
Lin Jia drank the medicine and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Lin Tao explained a few more words to Yu Yu and A Lan, and then left with Princess Li with the old lady.
After seeing the old lady, the prince and Princess Li leave, Yu Yu entered the bedroom again and went to the bedside to see Lin Jia.
Hearing the sound of Yu Yu's feet, Lin Jia opened his eyes.
Yu Yu asked in a low voice: "Hu Yingzhi has already come over, and he is investigating the case with Ye Chunheng, in case Princess Li bribes them...... Why don't I go see Lord Hu and Lord Ye? ”
Lin Jia shook her head slowly: "Don't go, I can't tell if I go, maybe someone will bite me back, saying that I am making a bitter meat trick......"
Yu Yu sat on the edge of the bed and thought for a while, then understood the meaning of Lin Jia's words, held Lin Jia's hand, rubbed it from his wrist to his fingers, and kept massaging, and said: "Is it because Hu Yingzhi has taken refuge in you, since he has made a decision, he is not a person who is short of money, so he is not easy to be bribed?"
Lin Jia's fingertips were numb and crispy by Yu Yu, temporarily covering the pain.
Seeing that Yu Yu asked him seriously, he couldn't help but smile and said "um" softly.
Yu Yu continued to hold Lin Jia's hand and continued to guess: "I remember you said that Ye Chunheng is a two-faced person, both the prince's person and His Majesty's person, so he will not accept a bribe from Princess Li, right?"
Lin Jia said slowly: "That's the case."
Seeing that she had guessed Lin Jia's thoughts, Yu Yu couldn't help but smile: "I want to be smarter, so that I can always follow you and take care of you, if I want to ask you, you must teach me!"
Lin Jia felt warm in her heart, and the warmth seemed to arise from her fingertips, slowly dissipating to her limbs, which was extremely comfortable.
He looked at Yu Yu, Xiuchang's eyes were a little moist, and he said softly, "Wherever I go, I will take you with me."
We are always together, accompanying each other on this lonely road of life.
After a while, Lin Jia said: "Yu Yu, the old lady's maiden surname is Li."
Yu Yu was stunned when she heard this: "What is the relationship between the old lady and Princess Li?"
Lin Jia smiled gloomily: "The old lady is Princess Li's aunt."
Yu Yu felt a chill on her back: "Oh my God, their acting skills are so good......"
Lin Jia closed her eyes.
No one thought that his loving and pitying grandmother was Li Yongjie's aunt, and she also instigated Li Yongjie to have an affair with Lin Tao, and she was angry with his mother, Princess Jiang.
It was late at night.
It was snowing again.
Outside, in the bright room of the east side courtyard, Ye Chunheng and Hu Yingzhi came back from He Cheng'an, the steward of Zhuangzi in the side room, and were sitting on both sides of the Eight Immortals Table drinking tea, when they heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Ye Chunheng lazily instructed his personal soldiers: "Go and see who it is!"
The soldiers came back soon, and some snow fell on their clothes: "Lord Qiyu, it's the little guy Chunlei next to the third prince, who said that he was ordered to see the two adults!"
Ye Chunheng and Hu Yingzhi looked at each other.
A strange smile appeared on Hu Yingzhi's beautiful face: "Someone is going to give a big gift!"
Ye Chunheng smiled: "Then we might as well be respectful!"
Both laughed.
Chunlei is a very clever little guy, with smart eyebrows and eyes, and he is simply full of news. As soon as he entered the door, he saluted uprightly: "The slave has seen two adults!"
Ye Chunheng smiled and said, "What's the matter with you coming here?"
Chunlei took out two brocade boxes from his sleeve pockets, one for Ye Chunheng and one for Hu Yingzhi, and then stood there with a smile.
Ye Chunheng opened the brocade box and found that it was covered with black velvet, and there was a red gold ruby ring embedded on it, the ruby was about the size of a peanut, clean and moist, and the treasure was smart, which was really a very valuable gift.
Hu Yingzhi opened the brocade box in his hand and found that it was a jade pendant, which was delicate, flawless, and extremely precious.
The two of them each held the gift and looked at it for a long time, Ye Chunheng smiled brightly, and Hu Yingzhi's eyes were shining, as if they both liked it very much.
Seeing this, Chunlei took the opportunity to say: "These things are all from the palace, please laugh at the two adults!"
Hu Yingzhi and Ye Chunheng looked at each other and smiled.
Hu Yingzhi said with a smile: "I don't know what your master has to explain to Xiaguan and Commander Ye!"
Chunlei smiled and said: "Today's matter is just a rope tied by the children of Bezhuang playing games......"
Hu Yingzhi laughed twice: "Xiaguan understands, please go back and tell your master, it will be over tomorrow afternoon!"
After Chunlei left, Hu Yingzhi picked up the teacup and drank it all: "Let's go, judge He Cheng'an at night, you must find the gap!"
As it approached, the snow stopped again, and except for the occasional sound of snow falling from the branches, everything was silent in Beshang, and only the main hall in the inner courtyard of Bessho, where the old lady lived, was still brightly lit.
There are several red gold charcoal stoves in the house, and a wax plum is inserted in the vase, the fragrance is elegant and warm.
The old lady leaned on the brocade pillow and leaned on the brocade couch, and the two close-fitting maids Dongmei and Chunhua gave her one to pinch her shoulders and the other to beat her legs.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
