Chapter 18 Father Lin had an accident
Early in the morning, Lin Ze was concentrating on dealing with a large bowl of tonic soup with full color and flavor, and the little eunuch next to him secretly stuffed a small note for Lin Ze while others were not paying attention, Lin Ze silently put the note into his arms, and then found a place where no one was, and opened it to see that it was Wang Li's appointment to meet him.
In fact, Wang Li had also asked him to meet him a few times in this way before, and each time he asked him about Hu Hai's recent news, and by the way, he explained how he openly and secretly dispelled Hu Hai's desire to compete for the throne.
Lin Ze had already been angry with Huang Banban and Hu Hai, and when Hu Hai heard this, he couldn't help but want to arrest the little eunuch and torture him, but he was stopped by Lin Ze and Huang Banban. Hu Hai asked with doubts: "Since you know that he is a spy, why don't you arrest him and torture him to see if you can ask something, take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't ask anything, isn't it what you should do to get rid of the spies?"
Lin Ze laughed after hearing this, and pretended to touch his beardless chin: "This is a bad statement, first of all, the spies in the dark are terrible, and the spies in the open are not only terrible, but they can also be used by us;
secondly, a small eunuch, most of them are bought by Fusu with money, and they use power to intimidate and win over to probe news, and those who pass on information may not be able to know much news themselves, and it is not beneficial to catch him at all in the overall situation, and they will also startle the snake, and the gains outweigh the losses;
In addition, like this kind of little eunuch, Fusu can easily find countless of them, it is better to keep them to pass on the news, by the way, to confuse the other party, lower the other party's vigilance, and when they need to plan big things, maybe it is a good move. β
Hu Hai didn't believe it, how could it be so exaggerated as you said, and in the end, Huang Banban followed and explained a few words, and Hu Hai suddenly realized, yes, you guy, good or bad, it's always right to deal with others. Lin Ze...... Didn't you just crush you a few times in terms of IQ......?
According to Lin Ze's original thoughts, he didn't want to compete with Fusu and their group of "second generation officials", so everyone was quite happy when they met the first few times, Wang Li also gave Lin Ze some golden tickets as a reward for good performance, of course, Lin Ze returned and threw his backhand to Hu Hai and Huang Banban, which made them very praised and moved.
Lin Ze secretly snickered: on one side is some gold given in a short time, and on the other side is a gold mine that has been dug up for a long time, fools will choose gold mines, and hand over gold tickets just for better mining, so basically Lin Ze can almost respond to requests in Ganquan Palace.
When Lin Ze arrived at the agreed place, Wang Li was already waiting for him, Lin Ze greeted him with a smile from afar, and when he saw him coming, Wang Li was not as enthusiastic as he had been a few times before, but only responded lightly. Lin Ze didn't care and asked, "What's the matter with leaving my brother to find my brother?" β
Wang Li was silent for a moment, and then pretended to be sad and said, "Lin Ze, your father has an accident, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. β
Lin Ze's head buzzed, as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and his whole face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly grabbed Wang Li's arm with his hand: "What happened to my father?"
A trace of anger flashed in Wang Li's eyes, he waved Lin Ze's hand open, and signaled Lin Ze not to touch him, although Lin Ze was very anxious, he also restrained himself, only to see Wang Li slowly tidy up his clothes, and said coldly:
"Uncle Lin and they followed the national teacher out to sea, and on the fifth day, they encountered a sudden huge storm on the sea, and even the national teacher was caught off guard, and in an instant, Uncle Lin's big ship was directly crushed by the storm, and 1,500 people on board, including the guards, were all swept into the sea, and the national teacher only had time to protect the other two big ships.
After the storm, a search and rescue was carried out, and less than 500 people were rescued, including Uncle Lin, and the others were not alive or dead, but the vast sea, boundless, and there was no island or anything nearby, so the possibility of survival was slim. β
Wang Li looked at Lin Ze's dejected appearance, and couldn't help but look at him with some contempt, but thinking that he still had something to do, he couldn't help but persuade Lin Ze patiently: "But you don't have to worry too much, Uncle Lin Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the national teacher will not ignore him." β
Seeing that Lin Ze was still sluggish and didn't come back to his senses, he couldn't help but be angry, and pushed Lin Ze with his hand: "Lin Ze, you must know that Uncle Lin had an accident, and now your biggest backer is gone, as for Wu'an Junfu, I didn't even tell you the news of Uncle Lin's accident, which shows their attitude towards you, now you can only rely on your uncle, that is, my father and me, as long as you do things for me, I will not treat you badly." β
Lin Ze finally recovered from his state of distraction, and first thought about the authenticity of the matter, feeling that most of the things were true, and there was no need for Wang Li to make up such a lie to deceive him, because he couldn't stand up to scrutiny.
The attitude of Wu Anjun's mansion has always been like this, this kind of wealthy family itself does not look down on Lin Ze and Lin's father from humble backgrounds, Lin's father is relatively valuable for investment, as for Lin Ze in their opinion, it is even more worthless, and Lin Ze is now in the turmoil of seizing the heir, but also because of the palace that Lin Ze was sent into in the name of Wu Anjun before, and it is too late to clear up the relationship now.
In addition, Wang Li's reassuring words behind him are only taken seriously by fools, not to mention how close Wang Ben and Lin's father's righteous brothers are, but Lin Ze is only Lin Ze after all, not Lin's father, a little thing, people don't mind standing up for you, in the name of their own benevolence and righteousness, when there is really a conflict of interest, I'm afraid the Wang family doesn't mind erasing Lin Ze easily, and Lin Ze has already made a decision after thinking about it.
I only heard Lin Ze ask in a hoarse voice, "What do you need me to do?"
Wang Li smiled with satisfaction: "Yes." People still have to look forward, and there are two things I need you to do this time: first, you must not break through to the second grade of martial arts; second, find a way to abolish one of Zhang Han and Li Xin, and you must not let both of them retain the cultivation of the first grade of martial arts. β
Lin Ze was shocked: "You are crazy, the first one is okay to say, if the second one is such a thing, how can Hu Hai bypass me?"
I only listened to Wang Liyouyou's words: "This assessment is not fair to Fusu Gongzi, but since Your Majesty has an order, no one dares to object."
However, we are not convinced, and we cannot be allowed to slack off even if the assessment is out. However, Prince Fusu is the long-awaited candidate for the prince, so he must win every assessment without any accidents.
We paid a great price to let Wei Qing and Wei Chi, who are still the second grade of martial arts, break through to the third grade of martial arts, and the middle grade level is not so easy to break through, although we are still seriously seeking a way, but it is safe, we can only abolish one of the breakthroughs on your side, Zhang Han and Li Xin are to blame themselves for not knowing the current affairs, stepping into the whirlpool of seizing the heirs, and they don't know how to break through the martial arts cultivation at this point in time. As he spoke, his eyes flashed fiercely.
seemed to be aware of Lin Ze's identity, and suddenly said in a softened tone: "You are different from them, our relationship is there, I will naturally take care of you, the two of them, I have also tried to win over me many times, but I have never wavered, I really want to kill myself." β
Lin Ze said undeniably: "Then what do you need me to do, drugging? Assassination? No matter what I do, it is estimated that I will be torn to pieces by the angry Hu Hai Gongzi in the end." β
Wang Li smiled: "Don't bother, don't you often learn from them, I teach you a secret martial art, pretend to be careless when you learn, just break their muscles and bones, and Hu Hai knows about it afterwards, you can also shirk it and say that you didn't pay attention, carelessly, but there is no trouble, and then Fusu Gongzi comes forward to protect you, it will definitely make you safe and worry-free." β
Lin Ze couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, it's okay if you don't say the last sentence, it's really good that I'm a child and let you deceive me, it's okay if Fusu doesn't come forward, I will definitely die if I come forward, I guess at that time you will also think that I have no use value, just waste it again, let Hu Hai think that I am your person, hit him hard, and there will be a shadow in the future when I fight with you.
Wang Li saw that he was still hesitant, and couldn't help but be a little anxious: "As long as you can do it, just say what you want." β
Lin Ze looked at Wang Li with staring eyes, and slowly spoke: "How about mobilizing all the forces of the Wang family to help me find my father?"
"This is impossible," Wang Li subconsciously replied, and then realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "With the relationship between my father and Uncle Lin, it is my duty to find Uncle Lin, but there is no need to use this as a condition, it is better for you to open another one, the top exercises, precious medicinal materials, and martial arts secrets are all fine." β
Lin Ze didn't answer, just looked at him silently, and finally Wang Li had no choice, gritted his teeth: "Okay, that's it, but I can't guarantee that I can find it." β
"Notify me when there is news," Lin Ze reached out and got the handkerchief that recorded the secret method, asked Xiao Jin to scan it, and then casually threw it back to Wang Li and turned to leave.
Wang Li hurriedly shouted: "Remember to do it before the assessment period." β
Lin Ze just left without looking back.
In Ganquan Palace, Lin Ze found Hu Hai and Huang Companion, and said: "My father has an accident, I need your help." β
Hu Hai's face was full of excitement: "Xiao Linzi, if there is anything I can do to help you, just speak, Huang Companion, and mobilize the forces of the entire Ganquan Palace to help Xiao Linzi." β
Lin Ze's heart warmed when he heard it, but he told them the news he got from Wang Li, but Hu Hai looked at Huang Banban directly, meaning you can see how you can help.
Huang Banban frowned and said: "The place where the incident happened is too far away, it is difficult for us to intervene at all, and I can only mobilize all the forces of Ganquan Palace to help you pay close attention to the news inside and outside Chang'an City, and it is not yet known whether it will be useful in the end." β
Lin Ze smiled, expressed understanding, and then confessed: "My father was a righteous brother with Wang Ben of the Marquis of Wucheng Mansion and Meng Tian of the Marquis of Zhongxin Mansion, and Gonggong Huang helped me pay more attention to the actions of these two families, and there is also the Wu'an Jun Mansion, after all, my father is the son-in-law of the Wu'an Jun Mansion." In this way, Huang Gonggong will help arrange it, send me to Wu'an Junfu, and I will discuss the follow-up matters with my eldest mother. β
Huang Banban immediately called a few older eunuchs to tell the matter one by one, and then arranged a carriage, accompanied by a coachman and two guards of Ganquan Palace, and took Lin Ze to Wu'anjun's mansion.
The carriage that Lin Ze was sitting in stopped at the gate of Wu'anjun's Mansion, and the guards next to him helped hand over the greeting post to the door to welcome the guests, and the doorman of the Wu'anjun Mansion opened the greeting post: Lin Ze, the son of Lin Dong, the Praetorian Guard, visited Miss Gongsun Yue of your mansion. Lin Ze didn't write about Mrs. Lin, but he was afraid that the people in the house would not find it for a while.
Menzi glanced at Lin Ze one last time, and responded politely: "Please wait a moment, let me report first." Then he took the prayer and went inside.
Lin Ze patiently stood at the door and waited, slowly calmed down, and thought about how to speak in his heart, Gongsun Yue was pregnant after all, so she couldn't be too stimulated, she should have said it relatively tactfully, but she didn't know if Gongsun had already told her.
After a while, Menzi hurriedly came out, and said to Lin Ze with an annoyed face: "This little boy, you better please go back, you belong to the list of guests who are not welcome in Wu'an Junfu, why do you want to come over." β
Lin Ze was stunned, but he didn't expect Menzi to say this, and hurriedly said: "It is estimated that your mansion made a mistake, as long as you give the greeting post to Miss Gongsun Yue, she will naturally come out to see me." β
"The noble daughter of the Gongsun family, is it something you can see if you want to?" Menzi scolded, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Ze still had two guards around him, who were not easy to mess with at first glance, he would have wanted to drive people away.
Lin Ze looked incredulous, and said angrily: "You must not have handed over the worship post to her, right, dog minion, you dare to deceive your superiors and subordinates, Miss Gongsun Yue will not spare you when she finds out." β
Menzi was furious when he heard this: "You kid actually dare to bite back, I kindly sent a prayer post for you, the third lady saw your worship post, and scolded me, you unpopular and despicable person, how can you be qualified to see the noble daughter of my Wu'an Jun's mansion, and those who know each other will leave quickly, and wait for me to call the guards in the house, and it will not be so simple to leave at that time." β
After hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but think of the middle-aged woman who despised him that day, and finally knew why Menzi said this, and stepped forward to apologize:
"But I blame you, the third lady of your mansion may have some misunderstanding about me, please help me hand it over to Miss Gongsun Yue again, she will definitely see me, if the third lady stops me, you tell her, help my Lin family once, Lin Ze will have a good reward in the future." β
Menzi sneered, everyone who came to ask for something to do in the house said so, if any person can come and go in Wu'anjun's Mansion at will, and ask to see whoever he wants, then Wu'anjun's Mansion is not a vegetable market?
Lin Ze saw that he was unmoved, so he had to sacrifice Hu Hai's card: "I am the guard of the son Hu Hai, and now I am doing things for the son Hu Hai, these two are also the guards of the Ganquan Palace of the son of Hu Hai, please help me report again, I will wait for your reply here." After speaking, he pointed to the two guards beside him.
When Menzi heard Hu Hai's name, his face finally moved a little, hesitated, or gritted his teeth and walked to the mansion again.
Lin Ze has been waiting at the door, but he has never seen the door come out again, as the sun gradually sets in the west, Lin Ze's shadow is very long, the whole process, Lin Ze's face is indifferent, not happy or sad, until the sun completely sets, Lin Ze laughed madly: "Hahahaha, I am so naΓ―ve, I can't measure myself."
The guard next to him heard him smile and say when he turned around and got into the carriage, "Wu'an Junfu, you will regret it, and you will definitely regret it in the future." β
