Chapter 203: Help
Lin Yi sent Zhou 19 out of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, and was just about to go back, but Zhou 19 went and returned.
"What did the prince forget?" Lin Yi asked in a low voice.
Zhou Shijiu looked at Lin Yi with a clear gaze, "Go back earlier, I will leave Chen Han for you." β
Lin Yi said: "The prince of the county should also be careful. β
Zhou Jiu smiled slightly, turned around and left.
Lin Yi returned to Nianci Hall, the old lady in the long room had already gone to the inner room to rest, Xiao Xiao's eyes were red, and she called the housekeeper's mother to ask if there was anything unusual in the family these days, for fear that Chen Yunyuan would really take someone else's money.
"Mother, don't be too nervous," Lin Yi comforted Xiao Shi, "If there was anything unusual about my father, my mother would have found out a long time ago, and I wouldn't have waited until now." β
Xiao Xiao panicked: "I'm afraid that I'm negligent, I only care about your eighth sister these days, she is always sick, and finally gets better, and when it burns again at night, I will accompany you in the inner room, and your father will rest in the study after he is busy with political affairs...... I should have known that I should have handed over your eighth sister to the nurse, and I could see some signs of your father's troubles...... It's all my ......."
"Mother," Lin Yi pulled Xiao Shi tightly, "It's okay, it's okay." β
Xiao Shi listened to Lin Yi's soft voice, and tears suddenly flowed down.
Lin Yi said: "The prince of the county has gone out to inquire about the news, as long as there is affection, he will definitely come to tell his mother, and his mother just needs to wait with peace of mind." β
Xiao Shi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "Thanks to the help of the prince of the county." β
β¦β¦
When Chen Linheng came back from the academy, Lin Yi took the carriage back to the Kangjun Palace.
Entering the Junwang Mansion, Mother Gong immediately greeted her and whispered: "I heard that the Marquis of Guangping Mansion ......"
Lin Yi nodded.
Mother Gong said: "How is this good, the old lady of the long house is still sick, doesn't it all depend on the lady alone." β
She wanted to stay in the Guangping Marquis Mansion to help, but seeing that the prince of the county was also involved, she wanted to come back to the Kangjun Mansion to help Zhou Shijiu in case something happened.
Lin Yi instructed Gong's mother, "Let people listen to the movement of the three people entering the courtyard." β
Mother Gong answered in a low voice.
Lin Yi went back to the room to arrange for the house to be fed, and Mrs. Zhou's Zhen was already listening to the affairs of Guangping Hou.
Duan's mother said: "The prince of the county rushed over. I should have gotten the news in advance," he paused, "If you want to say that the prince of the county can really imagine that the prince of the county actually crossed the wall and entered." β
Zhen put the tea in his hand on the table. Said sarcastically: "Whoever let our county prince is a young man, it is inevitable that he will have some temper and not take the Metropolitan Procuratorate in his eyes." β
Duan's mother said: "It seems that the prince of the county has no other way." β
"Naturally, he has no way," Zhen said with a smile what Zhou Yuanjing had inquired about, "The Tianjin prefect has lost 100,000 stone of grain alive, and the Marquis of Guangping is still speaking for him, either accepting bribes or protecting his mother's family for the queen." No matter which of these two crimes he admitted, the Marquis of Guangping no longer wants to keep the official hat on his head. What can I do if King Kangjun goes? Zhen said and covered his mouth and smiled, "You can't conjure out 100,000 stone of grain." β
Duan's mother had a flattering smile on her face, "So, it's a sure thing." β
Zhen pursed his lips and smiled, "The emperor wants to ask the heavenly master to pray for rain for the people, but he was said by the Tianjin prefect to be superstitious witchcraft, even if there is no 100,000 stone of grain, the Tianjin prefect is also very auspicious." β
That is, who was implicated. Whose good days are coming to an end, Duan's mother thought of this and said in surprise: "What about the prince of the county?" That's not going to be pulled into the water too. β
Zhen glanced at Duan's mother, "What do you say?" β
Duan's mother covered her mouth with her sleeve and smiled.
The two men were talking. Dangui hurriedly entered the door, "Mrs. is not good, something happened to the master." β
Zhen's smile froze on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" β
Dangui said: "The clan and the third master of the family fought, and the master was involved in the fight if he failed to persuade him, which alarmed the yamen, the commander of the infantry army. β
ι‘δΈη·...... Zhen's smile froze on his face, could it be that Yan Sanlang, who was easy to provoke, heard that he had been promoted to the deputy lieutenant of the infantry army before.
"How can you do it." In the past, she had heard that the three were aggressive and ruthless, and they had conflicts with the clan.
Dangui didn't look good on his face. The voice was lowered, "I heard that it is in the drunken fragrance house, not only the master,"
Zhou Yuanjing said that he would not come to dinner at night if there was something in the yamen, but he didn't think about it but went to Zuixiangju. Zhen gritted his teeth and ordered Dangui. "Let the steward go out to inquire about the news, and bring the eldest master back first anyway."
Dangui answered in a low voice.
β¦β¦
Lin Yi was doing needlework in the house, and Mother Gong came into the house with tea, bowed her head and said beside Lin Yi, "Something happened to Zuixiangju, and the children of the clan and the dignitaries in Beijing fought. β
Lin Yi put down the needle and thread, "What's going on?" β
Gong's mother said: "I heard that someone sent a message to the old lady, saying that it was because of a female ancestor who sang a song that made a fuss, and both sides drank some deer blood, and they fought in anger." β
Lin Yi thought slightly, "Have you heard that there are still people you know inside?" β
Mother Gong said in a low voice: "I heard that there is the eldest son of Zhenguo Gong, and Feng Ziying...... By the way, it seems that there are fifteen masters, and some names have been said, and the slaves and maids can't be said. β
Lin Wan was still pregnant, so Zhou Yuanguang went to Zuixiangju to eat and drink. The fifteenth master is Zhou Yuanqi, the husband of the Jiang family, these are all clans, not to mention those who Gong's mother can't say.
Among the children of the dignitaries is Feng Ziying.
Feng Ziying had come to the Kangjun Palace, and Zhou Shijiu had spoken in the study.
Lin Yi's eyes flashed.
That's right.
It is really difficult for the clan and dignitaries to make trouble, these people are difficult to punish, and they can't cover up the past casually. Such a major event will be known all over the city in an instant, and the emperor will naturally hear the rumors there.
For the sake of the female ancestors are just good people, in fact, it will definitely not be so simple, someone will provoke something, someone will do it, and this will be the case.
In such a trouble, the matter of Zhou 19 crossing the wall is not worth mentioning, the court wants to punish Zhou 19, and the clans and dignitaries who fought cannot be easily let go.
Zhou 19 made arrangements before breaking into the Marquis of Guangping's mansion.
Lin Yi felt a lot more relaxed when she thought of this.
Gong's mother said: "When will the bolt fall?" β
"Later," Lin Yi instructed, it would be too late for Zhou Nineteen to come back, "except for the main entrance, several doors are keyed as usual." β
Gong's mother answered.
Orange Red entered the door to serve Lin Yi to freshen up.
It's not early, the little maids go down to rest, Orange Hong is on duty outside the door, Lin Yi is lying on the bed, feeling very quiet around her.
There was a faint scent of flowers in the house.
In the past, she liked to smell the flowers and sleep, but today she can't sleep at all.
I don't know what the situation is in the palace.
Will the emperor blame Zhou Nineteen.
The answer is already obvious, if you don't blame Zhou 19, it should be on time...... Now there is no news at all.
Lin Yi sighed unconsciously, got up and picked up the tea on the low table and took a sip, leaving her lips fragrant.
I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard the sound of the door opening, and Lin Yi opened her eyes.
There was a sound of boots rustling, and Lin Yi saw Zhou Shijiu's soap boots.
Lin Yi got up, put on her clothes, and ordered Orange Red to fetch water.
"Has the prince eaten?"
Zhou Nineteen's jaw, "I've eaten." I freshened up with the water from Orange and Hong, then changed my clothes and lay on the bed with Linyi.
Lin Yi blew out the lights.
In the dark, Zhou Shijiu took Lin Yi's hand, "Father-in-law went back to the house." β
Lin Yi only felt her heartbeat flustered.
Zhou Shijiu's voice was clear, "The emperor summoned me to the south study, and I heard my father-in-law say that there was no 100,000 stone of grain, but it was not necessarily because Chang Guangwen was greedy for ink. The emperor didn't speak at first, but then suddenly ordered me to leave for Tianjin tomorrow to find out the whereabouts of 100,000 stone of grain. He began to be summoned to the palace, and he waited outside the south study for an hour, watching the people of the Metropolitan Inspectorate come and go...... Thanks to the fact that the clan and the dignitaries got together next, he was not the only one in the clan who was drunk and making trouble.
Lin Yi carefully pondered what Zhou Nineteen said. The emperor ordered Zhou 19 to check the grain in Tianjin. It sounds like the emperor listened to his father's advice, but in fact, he officially implicated his father and Chang Guangwen.
Also implicated is Zhou 19.
Lin Yi's eyes jumped when she heard this, "The errand of the prince of the county in the capital ......"
Zhou 19 said: "The emperor temporarily ordered someone to take over. β
"It stands to reason that the prince of the county is not a civil official, his father happens to be in Kedao, and it should be his father who goes to Tianjin." I didn't expect it to be replaced by Zhou 19, "The emperor didn't say that he actually blamed the prince of the county for breaking into the Marquis of Guangping's mansion." β
The emperor's meaning couldn't be clearer, since Zhou Shijiu was so bold that he didn't take the Metropolitan Procuratorate in his eyes, he must have the ability to investigate the case clearly. Zhou 19 will either retrieve 100,000 stone of grain, or he will personally send his father and Chang Guangwen to prison together.
No matter what the result is, it is not what she wants to see, "Has the prince of the county thought of a way?" β
Zhou Jiu shook his head with a smile, "Even if Tianjin's climate is humid and the warehouse is in disrepair, the grain will not disappear out of thin air at best......
The answer is obvious.
Zhou 19 said: "Tianjin was affected by the disaster last year, but only a handful of people starved to death, I believe that Chang Guangwen just opened a warehouse to help the people, but he will never use 100,000 stone of grain." β
Lin Yi felt a tightness on her waist, and naturally leaned into Zhou Shijiu's arms, "Only Chang Guangwen himself knows about this matter," he raised his head in surprise as he said, "The prince of the county took the initiative to go to Tianjin." "If you are a bystander, where will you go to investigate, my father and Chang Guangwen will definitely be punished.
Zhou Jiu's head slowly sank, and he didn't answer Lin Yi's words, but with a subtle smile, "Tianjin Road is not far, and Yuan Yuan will also prepare some dry food for me." β
