Chapter 582: The Xia Family's Old Affairs
Lin Xin'er returned to the Taishi Mansion when it was almost dark.
In fact, she went around the capital for a long time, and finally chose to return here.
King Xuan's Mansion is not suitable for her to step into now, and the Prince's Mansion is not a place where she often stays, not to mention that the Prince is about to become an emperor.
Originally, if it was just Ximen Che as the emperor, there would definitely be many people who were not at ease, but behind Ximen Che was King Xuan, and after this change, the courtiers no longer dared to be prejudiced against King Xuan, but valued his status in the court more.
A heavy lock was placed on the gate of the Taishi Mansion, and Lin Xin'er went around to the backyard wall, found the location of the hut where she lived before, and jumped over the wall.
In a place that was originally uninhabited, the ground should be flat after a snowfall, but what Lin Xin'er saw was a messy footprint sinking into the snow.
In order to pursue Ximenyin, there was also a search in the Taishi Mansion, but Ximenyin was still allowed to escape.
Lin Xin'er's eyes flashed, and she walked quickly to her room.
There were people in the house, and when Lin Xin'er pushed the door in, she stood up suddenly.
Dressed in red, so dazzling.
"Master Gu!" Lin Xin'er screamed, raised her head slightly without a trace, and glanced at the roof.
"You're finally here, and you didn't make me wait in vain." Gu Tingcheng smiled at the stunning Allure.
As a man, Lin Xin'er always felt that such beauty was too unreal.
"Master Gu also knows that I am desperate now, so I have to return here." Lin Xin'er smiled self-deprecatingly.
"If you want, the door of the Gu Mansion will always open to you." Gu Qingcheng looked at Lin Xin'er, his eyes were unabashedly hot.
His beauty has always fascinated him, and the Mochizuki Fairy is his lingering dream.
"Lord Gu is here to pick me up and review the mansion? If that's the case, I'm sorry to let the adults work in vain. Lin Xin'er walked to the chair on the side, raised her sleeves to sweep the dust on it, and sat down.
"I know that I don't have the ability to force Miss Liulin, and I only listen to Miss Lilin's own opinions." Gu Qingcheng didn't show disappointment, and still looked at Lin Xin'er with heat in his eyes.
He knew that he was obsessed with Lin Xin'er, and he was the same as Ximen Che in the past.
Lin Xin'er was originally more real than Simon Che in his eyes, so he would not affect his opinion because of her "transformation", to be precise, he was obsessed with the Moon Fairy, but he admired Lin Xin'er.
I don't know how much love is in this admiration, but I feel that this woman is taller than the man standing in front of her, and it seems that she has to look up to see it clearly.
"What the hell are you waiting for me here?" Lin Xin'er asked.
She also didn't believe that Gu Tingcheng ran to the Taishi's Mansion to wait for her just to see her and say a few ordinary words to her, if this was the case, it would not be the Gu Tingcheng who could be reused by the imperial court.
"During this time, I didn't pay attention to the affairs of the court, but it wasn't that I didn't do anything, and I just watched the play on the side." Gu Tingcheng Road.
Lifted the hem of his clothes and sat on another chair, although in the simple room, the slightest cold wind leaked, but it did not affect the red and fiery demeanor.
"What you're doing has to do with me?" Only for this reason will Gu Qingcheng look for her, Lin Xin'er knows it in her heart.
"To be exact, I was ordered by King Xuan to do things." Gu Tingcheng Road.
"Huh?" Lin Xin'er looked sideways at Gu Qingcheng.
"You know, I'm going to lose my principles in front of you." Gu Qingcheng smiled, originally he would never do something specific for anyone, but because of Lin Xin'er, he interfered in some foreign affairs.
"Really? If I let Master Gu kill people and set fires, I can't afford it. Lin Xin'er said.
"First of all, you have to be able to ask me to do murder and arson." Gu Tingcheng was not worried about this, he just lost his original principle of doing things, but he did not lose the principle of being a man, and he also believed that Lin Xin'er would not let him lose, otherwise it would not be worth his obsession.
"Don't hide it, I just killed someone before I came back here." Lin Xin'er said lightly, there seemed to be a feeling of stepping on the southeast under her feet, and that kick was definitely the most ruthless she had ever seen.
"After all this time, hasn't your hatred faded?" Gu Qingcheng saw the hatred flashing in Lin Xin'er's eyes, and only when she was greatly hurt would she want to hide it.
"I also want to be liberated, I want to go back to the way things were." Lin Xin'er looked ahead.
The sky was dark, and a pair of bright eyes were shining.
"Actually, King Xuan just asked me to check on Xia Yubing's affairs." Gu Qingcheng moved the conversation away.
During this time, it seems that he ignores the affairs of the court, and almost changes have taken place after letting King Xuan cover the sky with one hand, but in fact, he has been investigating the old things from nearly twenty years ago.
This is also a secret order given to him by King Xuan.
"What did you find?"
This is naturally what Lin Xin'er cares about, Ximen Jingxuan really did it according to her entrustment, and the person chosen turned out to be Gu Qingcheng.
"First of all, I went to check the files of the Xia family that year, and the files were incomplete, the Criminal Department had a fire that year, and most of the files about the Xia family were burned. I am afraid that the truth of the Xia family's case will be difficult to recover. Gu Qingcheng said, "However, I found out another thing, which can be deduced from the problem of the Xia family's case back then. ”
"What?" Lin Xin'er asked.
"The ancestor of the Xia family was originally an official of the Leng family in the previous dynasty, but he did not fall later, and when he arrived at Xia Yubing's father's generation, he became an official of the Ximen royal family by chance." Gu Tingcheng Road.
"You mean that because of the Xia family's background, even if the Xia family was framed, the emperor would acquiesce?" Lin Xin'er understood what Gu Qingcheng meant.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, "According to the emperor's treatment of the Leng family, it is not surprising to treat the heirs of the officials of the previous dynasty like this, otherwise the criminal department caught fire and so many files in charge were destroyed, why was no one punished with weight?" ”
"It was the emperor who pushed this matter behind the scenes." Lin Xin'er was thoughtful.
Thinking of the deep apology of Ximen Jinglie he saw in Jinyang Palace, in order to perform well in front of the former emperor, in order to keep the position of the crown prince, he could see that Concubine Ru married the former emperor with hatred, and naturally he would not pay attention to the affairs of the Xia family.
"Later, only Xia Yubing in the Xia family was rescued by your grandfather, the prime minister at the time, as for the rest of the Xia family, although the final sentence was to send to the frontier, but I asked the servants and cronies to secretly investigate, and no one from the Xia family went to the frontier to be punished, but some people returned to the court to reply to the decree." Gu Qingcheng continued.
"In other words, it is very likely that the people of the Xia family were killed halfway." Lin Xin'er said.
Just because no one cares, the affairs of the Xia family are over, or her father and her grandfather were hindered by various reasons, even if they knew that the people of the Xia family were killed, they would not say much, and they must have done a lot to leave a Xia Yubing.
Lin Bo loved Xia Yubing and was willing to save her, but Lin Bo didn't have the ability to save people back then, and it was her grandfather, Lin Bo's father-in-law, who came forward to save people.
Father-in-law rescued his son-in-law's sweetheart for his son-in-law, which must be indispensable to his own daughter, that is, her mother's intercession, her mother saved Xia Yubing more or less with the purpose of wanting her father to look at her differently, but as a result, because of Xia Yubing's death, her father has always hated her. Lin Xin'er felt very sorry for her mother when she thought about it.
