123, Donglin
In the second half of the banquet in Ziyang Mansion, the guests were almost drunk, and some even fell asleep on the table.
At this time, Ziyang Hou Zhulin came to the main seat again and clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
The guests looked at Zhu Lin with drunken eyes, not knowing what he wanted to say, according to the rules of the banquet, the final agenda of this banquet was to say goodbye to the guest of honor, but it was all carried out in private, and it was inconvenient for the host to urge the guests to leave, what else did Zhu Lin want to do?
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's banquet is very enjoyable, here, Zhu still wants to thank you for being able to come with a face. However, although he was happy today, Zhu still felt a trace of regret and panic, so that after the third round, the wine could not be swallowed, like a fish in his throat. ”
Hearing Zhu Lin say this, Wei Qing and Yao Tianang both spoke: "Hou Ye still has something on his mind, although he said it, although everyone here does not say that he is in charge of the world, he also has some ability, and he should be able to relieve Hou Ye's worries." ”
Since they can attend Zhu Lin's dinner, these people are planning to make friends with Zhu Lin, and at this moment they naturally know that Zhu Lin has something to say, but they don't say it before the banquet, but when everyone is drunk, I'm afraid the intention is not simple.
Zhu Lin put down the wine glass, tidied up his clothes before he said: "The turmoil in the imperial city this time can be said to be a once-in-a-century occurrence, and the blue wolf's blatant murder is naturally hateful, but in the final analysis, have you thought about the reason, and have you thought about what to do afterwards." ”
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Xiao Fei who was present took the lead and said: "The Blue Wolf Gang is here to seek revenge, and the object is just below, so I am sorry for the fright." ”
These words won the polite words of the audience, of course, no one will take these words seriously, in fact, I don't know how much I secretly blame Xiao Fei and Huang Chongsheng, I caused trouble, but I want the whole city to accompany me.
Zhu Lin expressed his attitude at this moment and said: "It's just an excuse, even if there is no grudge from Mr. Xiaofei, the Blue Wolf Gang will come to the Imperial City, because the Three Holy Stones have reappeared in the world!"
As soon as this sentence came out, half of the people present woke up from drinking, although the intelligence of the Three Holy Stones did not reach the point where everyone knew about it, but the rumors were already flying all over the sky, and the tragedy of several powerful families was related to the Three Holy Stones.
Of course, it was the Red Leaf Gang that was rumored to be done at first, but then the imperial court exterminated the Cao clan and condemned Cao Zhuan Bing.
But this is just an official statement, judging from common sense, Cao Jianbing will not do such a foolish thing, and the risk is big and the benefit is minimal.
So in the circle of the powerful, these massacres are unsolved cases, and they are also the big sword hanging above their heads, I don't know when, this kind of tragedy will fall on their heads, but the sad thing is that they still don't know who did it.
"You must be trying your best to find out the information of the real murderer, but unfortunately, even the world's first intelligence agency, Tianshu Pavilion, and the red-sleeved Qingcheng of the rivers and lakes do not know the true identity of the initiator, but one thing is certain, the real murderer may be in the imperial city, and it also involves foreign clans. ”
Zhu Lin's words were like a heavy hammer, extinguishing everyone's drinking spirit for another three points. What kind of aliens are they, and do they want to invade the Central Plains?
The information that the real culprit involves foreign capital is top secret, except for Xiao Fei and others, I am afraid that no one knows, but there is no empirical evidence whether it was done by a foreign race, but Qin Keqing did collude with a foreign race.
Xiao Fei did not directly break this relationship that day, just to wait and see what happened and wait for the opportunity to find out the connection.
But Zhu Lin also knew about this matter, which not only meant that Zhu Lin's intelligence network was very powerful and did not lose to the red-sleeved Qingcheng, but also meant that Zhu Lin was not small.
"Master Hou, Tianfu has undertaken the case for many days, but the definite evidence has always been found, and the lower officials are ashamed. "Zuo Shidao first confessed.
These massacres were sponsored by Tianfu, but apart from the clues, who the real culprit was and how he carried out the case, he still didn't know anything, he only felt that he could do such a murderous case, which was completely different from what humans did.
"Lord Zuo doesn't have to feel guilty, the other party's methods are extremely clever, even if it is Tianshu Pavilion, there are no clues. It's a pity that the imperial court has been busy with the Cao family's big case recently, and it has not been able to free up its hands, so that the Mei family tragedy happened again. ”
When Zhu Lin said this, he denied the official rhetoric of the imperial court, which can be regarded as digging out his heart and lungs, you must know that Cai Jinyan is also here, if he says a few words in front of the Son of Heaven, Zhu Lin will be guilty.
"The four giants have gone to the third, I'm afraid the next one is our Guyue family. "This is Gu Yue, the head of the Gu Yue family, who is shocking to the sky, as a wealthy family in the rivers and lakes at today's banquet, he only has a four-rank honorary official position in the court, and his position is naturally not too good.
Zhu Lin hugged his fist at Gu Yue, and then said: "As the Gu Yue family master said, the incident of the Mei family will not be the last, if the real culprit intention is not reached, one may be the Gu Yue family, or it may be any of you here. ”
Since the Huang family's murder case, there have been rumors all over the world, and now, no one can figure out the true intention of the real murderer, so it is not groundless to say that everyone is in danger.
"Master Hou, what do we think we should do?" asked Yao Tianang at this time.
"United! unite all the people who can be united, we must form a group, use the resources at hand together, find out the truth of the matter, this matter is not trivial, if we still go our own way, each suspect, then the consequences will naturally follow in the footsteps of the Mei family!"
Zhu Lin looked around at everyone and said loudly, his tone was impassioned.
"I agree with Master Hou's suggestion!" At this time, Sun Dangkou strode in and said.
Umeda is his best friend, originally he personally led troops to protect the Mei family, but later the imperial court had an incident of exterminating Cao, Sun Dangkou was ordered to be in danger, and at the same time, he saw that the Mei Mansion was fine, so he evacuated.
But he didn't expect this farewell to become a farewell, which made Sun Dangkou regretful, so if he wanted to thoroughly investigate the real murderer, he was definitely in the forefront.
"As soon as something happens to the Mei family, the Hind Wolf Gang will enter the Imperial City, and they are good at creating chaos to achieve their own goals, will these two things be related?" At this time, Zuo Shidao also put forward his thoughts.
Zhu Lin walked to the middle of the hall at this moment, and said aloud to everyone: "Whether it is the Blue Wolf Gang, or a foreign race, whether it is the tragedy of the Mei family, or the tragedy of the Shangguan family and the Hai family, this is a blatant provocation to our Dayuan Dynasty. ”
It was another impassioned feeling, but under the influence of alcohol, there were not a few people who echoed Zhu Lin, and some nobles even directly called for martial law in the whole city and thoroughly investigated every suspicious person.
After the crowd was angry, Zhu Lin slowly spoke, and his voice was extremely low: "Between this, Zhu has the courage to suggest that we might as well follow the example of the sages, establish a cabinet, and discuss major matters together." ”
Hearing the word Pavilion, most of the nobles were silent, they remembered the fate of Xilin Pavilion twenty years ago, this was the end of the failure of the Cabinet Battle, and then the Cao family was dominant.
Now that the situation has just stabilized, what does this Zhu Lin want to do?
"There is Xilin Pavilion in front of us, and we will set up Donglin Pavilion, can you see it?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Lin walked straight to Cai Jinyan, hugged his fists and said: "Zhu has received the help of Cai Guoshi in this matter, so a big thing can be done." Please also ask Cai Guoshi to be the pavilion master!"
Regarding Zhu Lin's unexpected move, although Cai Jinyan was a little hesitant, it was also counted in his conjecture.
This banquet will definitely not be so simple as thanks, the intention of making friends is obvious, but more importantly, it is the chess of the backward alliance, I didn't expect Zhu Lin to be so anxious.
However, he himself was not the pavilion master, but he threw the potato into Cai Jinyan's hands, did he take it or not?
