Chapter 263: Investigation (one more)

When Lin Xujie finished reporting, when he was involved in framing the Lin family, he also said, "Master, we have investigated that the person who chased and killed the old master along the way was the guard from the Zeng family of Zengji pharmacy!"

Lin Yuelan's face turned cold, and she was silent for a moment. After that, she immediately made a decision and said, "Guard Jie, inform Manager Lin and let him arrange all the affairs of the Linji Pharmacy in Zhoushan City as soon as possible, and then come to Qingfeng City immediately!"

When Lin Xujie heard such an order, surprise flashed across his icy expression, and he said, "Master, you want to..."

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "That's right! I want Qingfeng City, the Lin Kee Pharmacy that disappeared 20 years ago, and reappear in everyone's eyes. I want everyone to know that the Lin family has come back for revenge, and I want to make it 20 years ago. The enemy who framed Grandpa's family lives in fear every day!"

"Twenty years ago, how did they frame the grandfather's family, and twenty years later, how will I ask them to get it back!"

When Lin Xujie heard such words, he couldn't contain his excitement, and he responded immediately, "Yes, Master, I'll do it right away!"

Lin Yuelan then instructed, "Now the situation in Qingfeng City is unclear, first transfer ten guards from Linjia Village, and then instruct Lin Xuling to train another group of guards, remember, no matter what kind of person, my purpose, Lin Yuelan, is to be loyal. reliable!"

"Yes, Master!"

Lin Xuling was the second-in-command of the guards. After Lin Yuelan's guidance and training, his martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds. Lin Yuelan arranged for him to be the head coach of Lin's guards.

It is to secretly train the guards every day. After each batch of training, this group of guards will be transferred out. As for the transfer, only Lin Yuelan and her three main guards: Lin Xujie, Lin Xuling, and Lin Qingsong know.

After Lin Xujie received the order, he immediately went to execute it.

Lin Qingsong reported at the moment, "Master, the old master seems to be targeted by the third prince Yuwen Feiye!"

Lin Yuelan looked cold and said, "Oh? Yuwen Feiye?"

Lin Qingsong nodded and said, "That's right. This week, Anping was reported to be embezzling and taking bribes, and he was rich in his own pockets. He embezzled more than a hundred taels of silver for flood relief half a year ago. Therefore, today's sage has specially appointed the third prince, Yuwen Feiye, to be the commissioned minister. Investigate this thoroughly."

Lin Yuelan said with great interest, "Oh, then why is it the third prince Yuwen Feiye and not the prince Yuwen Yanyu?"

Lin Qingsong said what he had investigated, "This Qingfeng City is the territory of the prince's uncle's uncle. For fear of the prince's selfishness, the sage sent the third prince who did not deal with the prince over here!"

Lin Yuelan said clearly, "It seems that it is not easy to be the emperor. Every day, you have to work hard to balance the power of all parties."

Lin Qingsong did not dare to speak.

"Go ahead!" Lin Yuelan said indifferently.

Lin Qingsong continued, "The third prince was clearly investigating Zhou Anping's corruption, but in fact he was secretly looking for Ziyunhua!"

"Purple Cloud Flower?" Lin Yuelan repeated with a slight frown, "Are they looking for Purple Cloud Flower?"

Lin Qingsong nodded and replied, "Yes. My subordinates have found out that the third prince is a royal feast for the New Year, and he intends to give it to the Holy One!"

"It seems that Ziyunhua caused the trouble!" Lin Yuelan muttered.

When Lin Qingsong heard this sentence, he was instantly stunned and curious. He didn't understand, what is this about Ziyunhua?

Lin Qingsong saw that Lin Yuelan was silent, and continued, "Four months ago, this purple cloud flower was photographed by Li Fazhi, the richest man in Qingfeng City, from the Guangjuyuan auction house at a high price of 150,000 taels, and then , and handed it over to Governor Zhou.

When Yuwen Feiye heard about this, he wanted this purple cloud flower, but he searched the entire Governor's Mansion, but couldn't find anyone, and pressed Zhou Anping to no avail.

However, several of Yuwen Feiye's staff guessed that the purple cloud flower might have been sent to the Prince's Mansion.

Therefore, the third prince and the others thought about a more precious gift for the saint. They thought of the legend about the Lin family twenty years ago. "

"Twenty years ago, the legend of the Lin family?" Lin Yuelan asked indifferently.

"That's right." Lin Qingsong said, "It is said that 20 years ago, the Lin family had two family heirlooms, the other was the Lin Ji herbal formula, which has been passed down for hundreds of years. Years ago, the Lin family was betrayed and framed; second, it was a thousand-year-old ginseng."

"However, these two things disappeared without a trace with the disappearance of the young master of the Lin family."

"Now, the purpose of the third prince Yuwen Feiye and the others is the thousand-year-old ginseng plant that the young master of the Lin family may have, and the young master of the Lin family is our old master Lin Deshan!"

Lin Yuelan tapped on the table, the corners of her mouth rose, and she said sarcastically with a slight sneer, "It seems that the situation in Qingfeng City will be turbulent with the appearance of Grandpa!"

Many forces are staring at Lin Deshan, and they all want to seize the thousand-year-old ginseng from him.

It's just that few people now know that there is a thousand-year-old ginseng in Lin Deshan's hands, but the thousand-year-old ginseng in his hands is not the treasure of the Lin family twenty years ago, but the treasure that Lin Yuelan gave to Lin Deshan.

Lin Qingsong looked at the ant-like look on Lin Yuelan's face, and there was an impulse of blood in his heart, which was an impulse to fight fiercely.

Lin Qingsong restrained his expression, and said with some worry, "Master, since the old master is being targeted by the third prince, I am afraid that the third prince will go directly to the Zhou Mansion to kidnap people, but our manpower?" What he wanted to say was that they manpower is simply not enough.

The guards of the third prince, those guards who protect the royal descendants, are of course not comparable to the guards of ordinary people.

It can be said that he and Jie Guard can defeat many other guards, but against the guards of the third prince, and if there are too many people, it is impossible for them to protect the master well and retreat safely.

That's what worries him.

Lin Yuelan raised her hand and said, "Don't worry! As long as they dare to make a move, this girl will definitely want them to go back and forth!"

Lin Yuelan's words have always been true to their words. Since the master is not worried, he also believes that the master must have an idea, and the old master will not have any safety concerns.

Lin Yuelan suddenly thought of another thing, so she instructed Lin Qingsong, "Go and find out if the Zhou family in Zhou Anping has anything to do with the Zhou family in the capital?"

"Yes, Master!" Lin Qingsong replied.

capital

General Zhenguo Mansion

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing sat opposite each other.

Guo Bing's face was a little bad, and he said, "Brother, the third prince was ordered to go to Qingfeng City to thoroughly investigate the corruption of Governor Zhou Anping. Zhou Anping was the in-law of the prince's uncle's family. Is it possible for the third prince to take advantage of this? This opportunity, let the matter lead to the prince?"

Although they are not one of the princes and grandsons, they don't want the third prince Yuwen Feiye to take that position no matter what.

If Yuwen Feiye really had the demeanor and mind of being a monarch, it would be fine, but this Yuwen Feiye was arrogant and arrogant, still a narrow-minded, insidious villain with no tolerance.

If someone like him is the king of a country, then the country will be destroyed sooner or later.

This is a picture they don't want to see.

However, it is also impossible for them to stand upright and support a certain prince.

Because, they are only loyal to the emperor!

Jiang Zhennan said, "The sage will not be so confused!"

Compared with the third prince, the prince Yuwen Yanyu is more suitable to be the king of this country, if the sage does not want the country to be ruined by Yuwen's descendants.

Guo Bing thought for a while, and said, "Although the Holy Master, in order to balance the forces of the three parties, will keep an eye on the open and secret struggle between them. I'm just a little worried. If this balance is broken, His Majesty can still control the whole situation. ?"

The three forces Guo Bing mentioned are: one is the prince and one party, Yu Wenyanyu, one is the third prince and one party, and the other is His Majesty's eldest grandson, Yuwen Xuhong, the only son left by the former prince.

What he alluded to was that when one party's power was higher than the other, there would be unknown situations such as forcing the palace.

Jiang Zhennan said, "Your Majesty is a wise monarch. I believe that His Majesty has a decision in his heart! The problems we are worried about will not happen."

Although Jiang Zhennan said this, Guo Bing was still a little worried. After all, their Guo family...

Guo Bing is not entangled in this matter.

He thought of one thing and said with a smile, "Brother, you say it's not funny, but these three princes suddenly sent me a few women."

Jiang Zhennan was indifferent at first, then he laughed lightly and teased, "This is not good. At your age, you really need a few women to live in the house."

Guo Bing immediately waved his hands in fright and said, "Don't, don't, this is the most unbearable kind of beauty. Who knows if the third prince wants to put a few eyeballs in front of me. Like that, wherever you go, you have a pair of eyes. Just staring at it, it would be uncomfortable."

The corners of Jiang Zhennan's mouth slightly raised a certain arc, and asked, "Can you refuse the beauty presented by His Royal Highness?"

Guo Bing immediately fell silent.

He said dully, "You said that these three princes are so mad, why did they give me a few women all of a sudden? If you want a reward, you should also give it to the eldest brother, you are the one?"

Speaking of this, Guo Bing's expression suddenly froze.

Instantly figured out the joints.

This is the third prince's policy to take advantage of distant friendship and close attack.

The purpose of making good friends with him Guo Bing is to please Jiang Zhennan.

Because no one in the capital knows, no one knows, the relationship between the young master of Duke Guo's mansion and Jiang Zhennan's mansion of the General of the State is very good.

Young Master Guo has always been obedient to Jiang Zhennan's words, even the words of Duke Guo, Young Master Guo seldom listens to, only the words of General Jiang Zhennan.

Jiang Zhennan's external image is that he doesn't get close to anyone and doesn't have any friends, but he does not reject the approach of Young Master Guo, and is even extremely tolerant.

In this regard, there are even rumors that Jiang Zhennan has the habit of breaking his sleeves, and Long Yang is good.

The young master of the Guo family has a clean face and beautiful facial features. He is more beautiful than a woman. With such a beautiful man around him, I am afraid he is reluctant to refuse.

Of course, this is just a rumor from the outside world.

Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing also ignored it and didn't take it to heart.

But the Guo family is different.

As the young master of the Guo family, Guo Bing is also the old son of Duke Guo. He is very precious to this youngest son, as well as the elder brothers and sisters above Guo Bing. Because of their age difference, they also raise Guo Bing as a son. Tight love.

As for the intrigue of other families because of competing for favor, status, and power, it will not happen in the Guo family at all.

Listening to the rumors outside, Duke Guo was so anxious that his hair was gray, for fear that this beloved young boy would make a mistake and become a rabbit, which would be bad.

Therefore, Duke Guo's family strictly prohibited Guo Bing from entering and leaving the general's mansion, and even strictly prohibited contact with Jiang Zhennan.

Later, it was Guo Bing who was anxious to explain to his family that he and Jiang Zhennan were purely friends between superiors and subordinates, and neither of them liked men, so how could there be any good in Longyang?

It's just that the Guo family didn't listen at all. They only thought that what Guo Bing said was an excuse, an excuse, and they just kept him at home and didn't let him go out.

Later, Jiang Zhennan went to the battlefield. Guo Bing's biggest dream was to be on the battlefield, just like the legendary Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, Guo Bing escaped from home, returned directly to the battlefield, and fought side by side with Jiang Zhennan once again.

This time, the Guo family was even more anxious and panicked.

On the one hand, he was worried about Guo Bing's safety, and on the other hand, he was worried about the resurgence of Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan.

Later, the Guo family directly sent the dead soldiers of the Guo family to protect Guo Bing's safety and report to the Guo family how Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan were getting along.

After hearing the report of the deceased of the family, the Guo family really believed that Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan really belonged to the relationship between superiors and subordinates. For this reason, the Guo family also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, I don't have to worry about it every day. When I marry a good son (brother) as a daughter, I have to be pointed by others.

Later, when it was reported from the capital that the young master of the Guo family was chasing his lover Jiang Zhennan, the Guo family immediately sprayed it out.

"You know shit, my youngest is a military advisor for Jiang Zhennan. If he doesn't follow Jiang Zhennan, does he follow you to play with women in the flower kiln?"

When everyone heard that the Guo family said that Young Master Guo was going to be Jiang Zhennan's military advisor, they were immediately silenced, and they were even curious and puzzled.

Curiously, the young master of the Guo family has gone to be a military division!

The same question is, how can the young master of the Guo family be a military advisor?

The Guo family sprayed it back again. Their baby is a pimple. He has been smart and smart since he was a child, and he has read poetry and books. He has thoroughly studied the art of warfare. Why can't he be a military division?

Hmph, Jiang Zhennan's several battles on the battlefield were all strategies given by our baby, and they were all met. How could he be a military advisor?

Later, when everyone really confirmed that the young master of the Guo family was indeed Jiang Zhennan's military advisor, no one dared to spread rumors of short-sleeved fetishes.

It is normal for generals and military advisors to be inseparable.

If you don't see the evidence with your own eyes, then shut up.

From then on, Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing's theory of breaking their sleeves and separating the peach no longer exists.

However, since the two of them are not good friends of Long Yang, then there are many women who are eyeing Guo Bing.

Not to mention Guo Bing's appearance is very handsome, very attractive to those young girls with sprouting hearts.

Besides, this Guo Bing is the young master of the Guo family. Although he can't inherit the title, he is indispensable for all the glory and wealth. Who made him the treasure of the Guo family?

As long as she is married to him, this daughter-in-law can also become the baby of the Guo family.

Of course, the Guo family is also happy to give their baby a bump and find a daughter-in-law, but the Guo family also picks and chooses, and they can't always find a good one. They always think that this woman is not worthy of their son, and that woman is not worthy of their son. Anyway, the number one beauty in the capital, the number one talented girl in the capital, and so on, all of them are not worthy of their baby bumps.

In this way, Guo Bing is also happy and quiet. As long as his family does not rush him to get married, he will let his family toss around at will. Anyway, the Guo family thinks that no woman is worthy of him.

On the contrary, after Guo Bing and Jiang Zhennan disappeared, the Guo family was extremely anxious. Although they guessed, they were sure what happened to Jiang Zhennan. Otherwise, their precious son would go home once every three or five times. Not coming back for a long time.

They were worried and anxious, but they could only secretly check the news of the two of them.

It's almost half a year after such an investigation, not to mention that Duke Guo's hair is turning white, Madam Guo, that is, Guo Bing's mother, is about to cry blind, and keeps making trouble with the Duke, saying that they are forcing Guo Bing. She spent all day looking for a woman to marry, so that her precious son didn't come home.

Guo Bing's two older brothers, who could be fathers, and two older sisters, who could be mothers, were also so anxious that their hair turned white. Then, they all said that Guo Bing would no longer be forced to marry, even if Guo Bing didn't like women. , I really like men, and they no longer object, as long as he is safe and sound.

No, as soon as Guo Bing came back, he was perplexed when he heard his family say that he would no longer force him to marry, that he would no longer object to his liking for men, etc. He heard a black line on his face, and even had some doubts. Not nervous.

But what the **** is he saying he likes men?

Therefore, he once again explained with great difficulty, "My father, mother, brother and sister, I will say it a thousand times, your son, your brother doesn't like men, but don't give it to you. Son, find a man to match you!"

"Okay, okay, whether my son (brother) likes women or men, we will support it!"

Guo Bing once again had a black line on his face and simply did not explain.

Guo Bing spent the whole day in the General's Mansion.

He never thought that the third prince seemed to have suddenly given him a few women on a whim.

Although the Guo family is not happy, but the prince can't refuse it at all, and can only arrange these women well.

As for Guo Bing, he was a little confused and angry at first, but at the same time he was helpless.

Today, when the two talked about the third prince's gift of a woman, they were shocked to realize that the third prince's intentions.

Guo Bing said blankly, "Brother, these three princes are too insidious. You actually want to please me by bribing me, so that he can please you! And to put it better, he gave me a few women, It's ugly, these women are watching our every move."

Jiang Zhennan drank the wine in the glass without making a sound.

Guo Bing immediately said anxiously, "Brother, talk to me, what should we do with these women?"

Jiang Zhennan said lightly, "What to do, just do it! Anyway, those women are locked in your backyard and can't get out. They can do anything."

Guo Bing said with some disapproval, "That said, but after all, there are a few more pairs of eyes, which always makes people uncomfortable."

Jiang Zhennan asked, "Then what do you want to do? I sent them away, but you must know that this is a gift from the prince, and it is not something that can be done at will."

Guo Bing thought for a while, and whispered a few words to Jiang Zhennan. After Jiang Zhennan heard it, he immediately agreed, "Well, you can arrange it! After all, there are only a few women. Even if the third prince knows about it, there is nothing he can do."

After all, giving a few women is for use, as for how to use it, the third prince can't control it.

At this moment, Zhou Wencai suddenly ran over in a hurry, sweating all over his face.

Guo Bing looked at him a little tired, and said curiously, "Young Master Zhou, what's going on here, you're worried, sweating all over your head, but it doesn't fit your elegant and elegant scholar at all."

Zhou Wencai wiped the sweat from his forehead, ignored Guo Bing's ridicule, and said anxiously, "General, Lieutenant, my father wrote to say that Sister Yuelan went to Qingfeng City."

As soon as they heard Zhou Wencai's words, Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing immediately jumped up in shock, and asked again, "Your father really told you so in the letter?"

Zhou Wencai nodded and replied, "Yes. My father said that it was Sister Yuelan's grandfather who hurried to Qingfeng City with a person in Anding County. Sister Yuelan was worried and hurried to Qingfeng City. "

After listening to Guo Bing, he immediately clapped his hands and said anxiously, "This is what happened. Miss Lin is in Qingfeng City, and the third prince is also in Qingfeng City. With Miss Lin's peerless appearance, if the third prince does not It's okay to meet Miss Lin, but if he sees it, then..." The consequences of this incident are unimaginable.

Although Yuwen Feiye concealed it very well, he has a special hobby, that is, he likes young girls who are not up to the standard, especially the kind that are beautiful and young.
