Chapter 230: Truth, Trust

The west gate of Huguo Temple.

When he came out at this time, Yang Jinzhou's bloodstained robe had already been changed, and I don't know where Monk Zhiyong found a layman's clothes, although the material is not superior, but at least it still fits. The carriage of the Hou Mansion, which was originally waiting at the Zhongshan Gate, had already arrived here to wait because of the internal summons. However, compared to Zheng's mother and a few girls who knew about what had happened, the Hou family members who were waiting here at this time, such as Chen Rui and others, couldn't help but be strange when they saw Yang Jinzhou and his own young lady coming out together.

"Rui Ye ......"

"Don't you see Mother Zheng on the side? Remember to pass the word, and all of them acted as if they didn't see anything."

Although Chen Rui didn't learn the kung fu of fighting in battle formations, he also did some private things for the Zhu family outside, and he had a lot of experience in fighting fiercely, so he noticed the unnatural appearance of Yang Jinzhou's left hand, and he had some numbers in his heart. When Zheng's mother came over and whispered instructions, he became even more vigilant.

"Don't worry, godmother, I have already instructed me, and no one will dare to chew his tongue."

Mother Zheng glanced back at Chen Lan, who was about to get into the car, and exhaled softly: "That's good, I'll rest assured that you can do something." ”

"Sister, sister"

Zheng's mother, who was about to turn around, suddenly heard this voice, and quickly turned her head, but saw several riders on the other side of the alley galloping over, and the one led by was Chen Yan. She knew that the fourth young master had another task today, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but feel a sudden in her heart, and when she recognized that in addition to Chu Ping's four companions, there was also Luo Xu behind Chen Yan, and she was even more inexplicably shocked.

Could it be that something has changed?

Chen Lan had just gathered his cloak and was about to get into the car when he heard Chen Yan's voice, and almost at the same time as Zheng's mother, he recognized Luo Xu who was galloping on a horse. This is the first time she has met this prince of the mighty country since the marriage, and her heart is full of mixed feelings, she originally planned to avoid it, but thinking of the many people around her, she finally stood still.

"Sister"

Chen Yan jumped off the horse one by one, ignoring the startled expressions of Zheng's mother and a few girls, and rushed straight to Chen Lan: "After I came out of Huiyuan, I was blocked by that Deng Zhong and others. He put down a lot of cruel words on the spot, but fortunately, Brother Luo helped me out. He heard that you were in Huguo Temple today, and said that there was something important, so I brought him over. Just now on the side of the mountain gate, the monk said that you should go this way, and we rushed here again...... Ah, Brother Yang, you're there too."

After saying it in one breath, Chen Yan found that Yang Jinzhou was actually beside Chen Lan, and after being taken aback, he felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute him. And Luo Xu behind him saw this Chen Lan and Yang Jinzhou standing side by side, although he didn't know if the two had made an appointment or bumped into each other occasionally, there was still a trace of sadness in his heart, but thinking of the purpose of his visit, he immediately tried his best to clean up his mood and took two steps forward.

"Brother Yang, Third Miss." Luo Xu, who arched his hand, couldn't help but look at Yang Jinzhou, seeing that his left hand was soft and drooping, and the clothes on his body were a little unnatural, he suddenly became suspicious, but then he looked away, "I came here today because of something important." This is not the place to speak, why don't you stop for a moment and say a few words on the territory of Huguo Temple? ”

Zhiyong, who had just been given away, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle when he heard this. He almost stepped forward with the agility of a pampered abbot, and said to Luo Xu: "Luo Shizi, Lord Yang and the county lord of Haining seem to have important things to do, I'm afraid it won't be delayed for a while." ”

Zhiyong's thoughts, how Chen Lan didn't understand. Today, Yang Jin first entered the temple with a blood stain, although he only stayed at the West Gate, and did not enter the quiet place of the real Buddhist Gate, he could be smart and could definitely perceive the thorny trouble behind it. And she doesn't know what the outcome of the negotiation with Mrs. Qin is, and it may not be known whether it will involve Huguo Temple. Now that Luo Xu is going to use the territory here to discuss something, it is naturally obvious that people want to shirk it. Thinking of this, she looked sideways at Yang Jinzhou.

"Why don't you just ask Luo Shizi to go to the Mirror Garden together?"

Yang Jinzhou and Luo Xu don't have a deep relationship, but there are only a few contacts, and he also knows that the other party is hearty and straightforward, plus Luo Xu is Chen Yan's senior brother, so he should be trustworthy at this time, so he nodded after a little thought: "It's okay, it's only a few steps away from the Mirror Garden, can Luo Shizi take a trip with us?" ”

This "we" made Luo Xu's face change slightly, but he immediately covered it up and nodded briskly. When he got on the horse, he pretended to glance at Yang Jinzhou inadvertently, and saw that he was still only using his right hand, and his left arm was hanging down, and he couldn't help but feel seven or eight points accurate in his heart. So, when Chen Yan leaned over and apologized with embarrassment, he shook his head indifferently.

"It's okay, the Huguo Temple obviously doesn't welcome me, so I shouldn't be this evil guest, but I have never had a chance to appreciate the Mirror Garden, so it's just right to take this opportunity today."

Except for Yang Jinzhou, the master, none of the others on this trip had ever entered the Mirror Garden, so when Luo Xu said this, Chen Yan tilted his head and thought about it, but he felt that this was the case, and his interest was high. When they arrived at the ground, Chen Rui and the others stayed in the outer courtyard, while Chen Lan and the others got off the carriage at Neiyi Gate under the guidance of Yang Jinzhou, and came to a small inverted seat hall not far from here. Although it stands to reason that they all went to visit Mrs. Jiang first, both the host and the guests skipped this stubble for the time being.

Sensing that there seemed to be another hidden relationship between Chen Lan and Yang Jinzhou, Luo Xu nodded and said his intention straightforwardly: "When I met Little Brother Chen on the road today, it was not a coincidence, but I asked people to inquire about his whereabouts, and I went straight to him." After the emperor complained of illness, the cabinet piled up a lot of folds, and there were a lot of rumors inside and outside, I walked in the cabinet, and there was a lot of news in the palace, so I couldn't help but pay more attention than others. I'm here today to ......"

Luo Xu paused slightly, then sighed and said: "Those ministers who wrote to invite the prince this time, I inquired and learned that Fang Dehai, the director of the Etiquette Department of the Ministry of Rites, and Yu Sheqing, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, were instructed by the noble concubine in the palace in the name of my father. ”

As soon as these words came out, he saw Chen Lan on the other side startled, and then groaned thoughtfully, while Yang Jinzhou only frowned slightly, but Chen Yan reacted the most, and actually opened his mouth to ask, "Guifei Niangniang?" Why does the concubine want to ...... Ahh

Chen Yan suddenly realized his gaffe, and quickly closed his mouth and didn't open his mouth again. At this time, Luo Xu smiled bitterly and said: "I have reported this matter to my father, and my father has already handed over a secret plea to the emperor after learning about it." After thinking about it, I also wanted to ask the third lady and the younger brother Chen to tell Mrs. Tai about this matter, so as not to misunderstand. After all, if there is a dispute between our two families now, it is just cheapening others for nothing. As for the others who seconded the proposal, according to my information, somehow, the instructions of the concubine Niangniang were probably 'accidentally' leaked out, and as a result, they were exploited by 'people with a heart'. ”

Luo Xu emphasized "careless" and "caring people", how could Chen Lan not hear it, and he already understood the origin of this wave of turmoil. Needless to say, someone took advantage of Luo Guifei's hatred and created this incident. Only that person was cleverly hiding in the dark, only overwhelmed by the Hou Mansion, the original form of the King of Jin was revealed, the princess was in a difficult situation, the concubine was carrying a black cauldron, and the Luo family was difficult to argue - this was not a plan to kill two birds with one stone, but to count birds with one stone

However, that man made two important omissions - he didn't expect Luo Xu's vigilance Luo Mingyuan's decision, nor did he expect that something would go wrong when he repeated his old tricks on the side of the imperial eunuch Xia...... Or is it that two groups of Assassins are not the same way?

Thinking of this, she stood up and silently bowed to Luo Xu. As soon as Chen Yan saw her like this, he was busy thanking Luo Xu, even Yang Jinzhou. And Luo Xu, who had received this thanks, was even more astringent, and then forced a smile: "After all, the concubine's surname is Luo, and I can't even finish the things she made up, and I can't bear your thanks." On another matter, a friend of mine got drunk with the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division and asked a few words. It is said that at the hour when he concluded that Qian's mother of the Jin Wangfu was dead, he once led people to patrol the road and bumped into someone who violated the night ban. The man's voice was high-pitched, sounding like ...... Like a father-in-law in the palace. Later, he was afraid of being condemned and did not dare to say it, but as long as he was questioned strictly, it was expected that he would not dare not tell the truth. ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Lan was extremely shocked in his heart. And Yang Jinzhou, who had been silent, glanced at Chen Lan and finally spoke: "Since Luo Shizi has even investigated this matter, and told the truth, I won't hide something." The royal superintendent Xia Gonggong is now in the Mirror Garden. He was about to retire to Nanking to retire, so he occasionally lived outside the palace, and today he was assassinated in his small mansion and almost lost his life. ”

"There is such a thing" Luo Xu gasped, and then muttered to himself, "Even a character like him dares to act openly, the person behind this is too bold...... Could it be that the previous Zhang Ge Lao, as well as the people of the Dongchang Marquis Mansion, and even the general soldiers of Datong, His Royal Highness King Wu......"

A soft muttering echoed in the room, and Chen Lan, who was sitting, couldn't help but twist his hands tightly together, even then he still felt chills on his body. Yang Jinzhou, who had already changed into a robe, habitually stroked the saber at his waist, and his brows furrowed into a big pimple. The youngest Chen Yan bared his teeth, but even so, he still couldn't dispel the cold air that came up. And Zheng's mother, the only one who stood in the corner as a subordinate, fought up and down with her teeth irrepressibly, and she regretted it for a while.

"Three Misses"

A crisp voice outside the curtain interrupted the thoughts of everyone in the room. Chen Lan came back to his senses and called in, only to see Changdi, who was ordered to guard outside, open the curtain and come in, and bowed his head in a proper manner: "Brother Qin came over in person, he said that there was something important, please Lord Yang hurry up to the cross-courtyard in the north."

Yang Jinzhou stood up straight. But after glancing at Chen Lan and then at Luo Xu, he said thoughtfully: "It should be that Grandpa Xia has something to do, and the third lady should also go with him, if there is anything to say, he can bring it directly to the county lord." Brother Luo might as well come over along, there are some things that can be referred to in detail......"

Luo Xu didn't wait for Yang Jinzhou to finish speaking, so he shook his head and said: "I've been bothering for a long time, I should have said goodbye, but things went wrong, Father-in-law Xia was afraid that he wouldn't say anything when he saw me, so I still stayed here, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Chen Lan didn't know that Luo Xu was avoiding suspicion in order to prevent further accidents after leaving, and his heart suddenly became even more grateful. After standing up and saluting, she instructed Chen Yan to talk to Luo Xu here, and then glanced at Zheng's mother and motioned for her to follow, and then walked outside the house. The moment she walked out of the house, she suddenly realized that the sky that had just turned cloudy was now completely overcast, and the rain was falling from the sky.

It's going to rain
