Chapter 7: Assassination

Yang Pei'an got Zhou Yan's words, sent people out with a smile, and saluted respectfully goodbye, which was more thoughtful than serving his father.

Only then did he send people away, and when he returned to the mansion, he saw that Yuzhou Tong was in a hurry and came over, "My lord, but I offended Old Man Zhao?" ”

"Lord Li's news is fast, why didn't I see you when the official tried the case?" Yang Pei'an immediately put away his smile and asked with a raised brow.

He is a new official, but Li Yannian has been working in Yuzhou for five years, and he knows Yuzhou well, and he never reminded himself that Chang'an Hou Shizi is in Yuzhou.

As soon as Li Yannian heard this, he knew that he was annoyed, and hurriedly pleaded guilty, and then said: "My lord doesn't know, the Zhao family has a very important status in Yuzhou, and today the lord has offended the Zhao family, and if you want to handle the case in the future, you won't be able to ......."

"What if the official is offended?" Yang Pei'an snorted coldly, "No matter how precious the Zhao family is, is there a noble prince of Chang'an?" Now it is the prince of the Zhao family who wants to investigate them, not the official! ”

"It's the son of the world?" Li Yannian's tone changed suddenly, his gaze turned around Yang Pei'an, and he immediately withdrew it, and said with a smile, "It's the lower official who closes his eyes and stuffs his cong, as long as the adults are not involved." After all, you are the governor of Yuzhou, and the next official will rely on adults in the future! ”

Yang Pei'an, who was slapping this sycophant, was very comfortable, smiled proudly, and left with his hat wings.

As soon as he left, Li Yannian's face turned cold, turned around and went to the hall, and sent a handwritten letter to someone and sent it out quickly.

He didn't know how Yang Pei'an persuaded Zhou Yan to deal with the matter, let alone Zhou Yan's character, so he wasn't sure how to deal with this case.

- Outsiders always say that Chang'an Hou Shizi is born with a smile and a bodhisattva's heart, but Li Yannian thinks that he is very accurate in seeing people, if Zhou Yan is a good-hearted person, I am afraid that no one in the world will have bad intentions.

"Don't spoil the master's plan!" Li Yannian sighed deeply, feeling uneasy in his heart.

And Zhou Yan, who was worried about him at this moment, was a guest at the Lin family.

Zou served the tea with gratitude in his eyes, glanced at Lin Zhengtang, who was sitting uneasy, stretched out his hand and dragged it, and the husband and wife knelt down.

Lin Xing didn't like to kneel at every turn, but when she saw her mother kneeling, she knelt with her.

Zhao Jie looked at it, hesitated for a long time, and simply knelt down with his knees bent.

There were four muffled sounds in succession, and Zhou Yancha was still not stable, so he put it down again, with thick eyebrows on his smiling face, "What are you doing?" ”

The Zou woman didn't know what to say, so she raised her eyes and glared at Lin Zhengtang to ask him to speak.

Lin Zhengtang had already been pinched by his own wife, so he had to say: "Thank you for your foresight today, otherwise our family would have fallen into the hands of that poisonous woman!" The prince is very kind, the Lin family is unforgettable, and he is willing to be a cow and a horse for the prince......"

At first, Lin Zhengtang was reluctant to speak, but as he spoke, his mind became active again, and his eyes glanced at his daughter Lin Xing.

Not to mention the beauty of his daughter, even if she went to the capital, few people can compare.

And Chang'an Hou Shizi has a good reputation for being clean and self-conscious, and there must be no concubines in the family, so it is better to send his daughter to the prince, maybe he can get an official position for himself and Guo'er!

The more Lin Zhengtang thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and his words gradually became crooked, "...... I am willing to be a cow and a horse for the son of the world, and serve the left and right! ”

It is he and Lin Guoer who are the cows and horses, and it is naturally Lin Xing who serves the left and right.

The Zou family was honest and didn't know what Lin Zhengtang meant, but Lin Xing knew what her cheap father was thinking when she heard it.

There is also Zhao Jie, he is not young, and he followed his father to circle among businessmen when he was a child, knowing that he was obedient and listening, when he heard that Lin Zhengtang still wanted to give his stepmother to Zhou Yan, he was immediately ashamed and angry, and his face was red.

Therefore, without waiting for Lin Xing to speak, Zhao Jie said angrily: "Could it be that Master Lin has a second daughter who can serve beside the prince?" It's not like letting Lin Guo'er serve left and right, right? ”

His undisguised ridicule made Lin Zhengtang's face pale, but he couldn't admit it, so he only muttered: "Zhao Gongzi misunderstood, how can I mean this?" ”

Count him as acquaintances!

Zhao Jie snorted, "It's good if you don't have it." Lin Xing is now my stepmother, I am still old with me, and I will enter the ancestral grave of the Zhao family after death, if Master Lin can't let go, I might as well have another daughter. ”

But the Zou family is at this age, where can they still have children? It is clear that Lin Zhengtang wants to accept a concubine!

Zhou Yan looked at the kneeling people, you come and go, his eyes were full of interest, and when his eyes turned, he saw Lin Xing's gaze at Zhao Jie, and he was amused in his heart.

But Zhao Jie's words were really excessive, especially in front of the Zou family and Lin Xing, Zhou Yan immediately collected the interest in his eyes, raised his hand and said: "This son is doing this for the sake of old friends, and it has nothing to do with the Lin family, so get up." ”

After getting up, Zhao Jie didn't let Lin Xing have time to stay in the Lin family, and proposed: "Since the prince promised to return my father's innocence, without further ado, the three of us will leave immediately, right?" ”

Seeing the enthusiasm in Zhao Jie's eyes, Zhou Yan looked at Lin Xing, and saw that Lin Xing was turning her head and saying something to the Zou family, and when she finished speaking, Zhou Yan spoke: "Then let's go." ”

After leaving the Lin family and getting into the carriage, Zhao Jie asked Zhou Yan's doubts: "What did you say to Mrs. Lin just now?" ”

"In order to prevent your grandmother from making things difficult for the Lin family, I will teach my mother some ways to deal with it, so as not to be wronged." Lin Xing spoke indifferently.

"Who has a grandmother like her? She didn't even recognize my grandson, I just thought that grandma was dead! Zhao Jie snorted angrily and turned his head to stop looking at Lin Xing.

However, Zhou Yan continued to ask with great interest: "How are you going to deal with it?" ”

"The Zhao family has the best face, if the Wei family dares to come to the door, I will ask my mother to spread the news that Zhao Jing is inhumane, and see who else dares to marry this gelding dog in the future." Lin Xing's face did not change when she talked about this, and the two men in the carriage were shocked.

Zhou Yan felt more deeply than Zhao Jie-he had seen Lin Xing's methods with his own eyes.

Thinking of Lin Xing who he saw at Zhao's house that day, Zhou Yan coughed lightly, and his cognition of this girl became more and more three-dimensional.

"Where are you going now?" Lin Xing lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced at the street outside, and asked.

"Go to the ancestral grave of the Zhao family, open the coffin and inspect the ......"

Before Zhou Yan finished explaining, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the people inside hit the wall of the carriage with a bang, and they burst into tears.

"Shizi, it's not good! Someone is in ambush! ”

The coachman outside shouted, drew his sword to meet the battle, and the clanging of swords was thunderous.

Lin Xing had never felt so close to death.

She subconsciously shrank herself in the corner, and when she saw Zhao Jie's pale face, she immediately pulled him to the corner to hide.

According to her memory, assassins often attack from the side when they kill people, and hiding in the corner is the easiest way to survive.

But she forgot that you can kill people not only with knives, but also with arrows.

"Whoa—"

Lin Xing shouted, "Shizi be careful! ”
