Zhu Zhirong didn't expect Lin Jue to come up with such an idea, his original intention was indeed to test Lin Jue's tone and put some pressure on him. Because after the morning today, someone found him and asked him to do Lin Jue's work, so that Lin Jue should not hide it for Guo Bing in this matter. That's why he said these words on purpose. Let Lin Jue be suspended pending investigation? He didn't have the power, and he didn't want to. Because it seemed that he Zhu Zhirong was pressuring Lin Jue to do this, Zhu Zhirong didn't want to let people know his position so quickly.

"There's no need to be suspended, and you didn't kill someone? Besides, what should you do if you pick a son and mention the affairs of the Yamen of the Criminal Division? Yang Xiu is difficult to face. Then what else do I want to do to the court? Don't talk about it again, you know what I mean. In this matter, the official's attitude is skeptical, but not absolute. The imperial court will thoroughly investigate and judge right and wrong. ”

"What your lord said is extremely true, the court will investigate thoroughly, and right and wrong have their own opinions. Until then, all speculation and speculation is useless. Lin Jue nodded.

Zhu Zhirong smiled, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Lin Jue, aside from the official level, I will ask you a question in the name of a private person." You were on the boat, and you should be able to see what was going on. Can you tell me, in your judgment, did the prince drown Kang Zizhen by mistake? ”

Lin Jue laughed, originally thinking that this Zhu Zhirong was still a shrewd person, but when he asked this, it showed that Zhu Zhirong was stupid. Zhu Zhirong also regarded himself as a fool, and he really wanted to ask something, which was so funny. Or maybe Zhu Zhirong was anxious to know something, and someone behind him wanted him to ask something about him, so he was a little ugly and a little anxious. However, how could he get the answer.

"Guess!" Lin Jue gave an answer with a smile.

……

On the shore of the northwest lake, in the old palace. The little prince Guo Kun ushered in Lin Jue, who came slowly on a horse, in anxious anticipation.

As soon as Lin Jue entered the palace, Guo Kun complained impatiently.

"Why haven't you come until now? I'm going crazy. Are you not taking this to heart at all? Do you know that this morning, Daddy's petition was refuted by those officials for nothing. The reason for the manslaughter was ridiculed by everyone, and everyone thought it was a quibble. The emperor has already ordered to send your former teacher Fang Dunru as the leader to investigate the case together with the people selected by the Criminal Department of Dali Temple of the Criminal Court. Thoroughly investigate the cause and effect of the whole thing. DID YOU KNOW? Someone in court suggested that the father should be arrested from Hangzhou and returned to Beijing immediately, and he should be taken into custody for interrogation. The fire burned your eyebrows, and you still acted as if nothing happened? ”

Lin Jue frowned and looked at Guo Kun and said, "Little Lord, what about your jumping?" Now that this is the case, what do you think? What's the point of your thunderstorm here? ”

Guo Kun glared and said, "I understand, you want to stay out of the matter, so you don't rush." Don't think that when our palace is over, you will have a good life. ”

Lin Jue was really angry, threw the horsewhip in his hand to the ground with a snap, and shouted coldly: "Little prince, if you say something again, I will immediately raise my feet and leave." Even now, you're still so naïve and impulsive, and you haven't grown at all. How can you be in this state? You are so angry, why don't you take someone to overthrow the palace and rebel and seize the throne? You can't do these things, but you're biting and jumping here, what's the benefit? If you want to save people, let me honestly listen to my arrangements, otherwise, don't blame me for speaking badly. ”

"You! Licentious! Guo Kunqi's head was bruised, Lin Jue actually dared to talk to himself like this, it was not big or small. Guo Kun glared at Lin Jue angrily, like a beast about to attack.

Lin Jue glared at Guo Kun without giving way, he didn't want to compromise with this impulsive little prince at this time. The two of them are like two big roosters about to fight, glaring at each other, and they may pinch each other at any time.

Shen Tan saw this situation on the side and hurriedly played a round: "Little prince, isn't the county master here?" The prince's letter asked the little prince to listen to the arrangement of the county master, and he must have a plan. Jun Ma Ye only returned to Beijing last night, so he naturally has to report to Yamen today. After all, he is also subject to the jurisdiction of Shangguan. It's all about the same thing, why did you quarrel first? It's all dissipated, dissipated, and it is only right to sit down and discuss. ”

Guo Kun saw a trace of unyielding courage in Lin Jue's eyes. Thinking of his father's letter, he had to fully cooperate with Lin Jue's arrangement. Besides, he really has nothing to do now, and the only one he can rely on is this brother-in-law, so he really doesn't have to be so mean to him. At that moment, he snorted coldly and retracted his gaze.

"You'd better have a good idea, it's better for my father to get through safely this time, or ......"

"I can't guarantee that I will pass through the customs safely, no one can guarantee this. My father-in-law took a streak and made a stupid move, what can I do? Anyway, I'll do my best, if I can't save it, everyone will be finished together. In short, it's a grasshopper on a rope, it can't jump on you, and it can't run away from me. Lin Jue said angrily.

Guo Kun cursed, turned around and walked into the hall, and said as he walked: "My mother is waiting in the back house, come with me to see my mother." My father said that I would listen to your arrangement, but I would like to see what you have planned. ”

Lin Jue smiled bitterly and followed him to the back house. Shen Tan beside him persuaded in a low voice: "You don't have the same knowledge as the little prince, he is now in turmoil and has lost his statute." Bear with me. ”

Lin Jue nodded and said, "I know." Second Brother Shen bothered you to take someone outside the house, someone was watching me when I came, you took someone to find a reason to tie up and beat them, so that they knew that we were not blind. ”

Shen Tan was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, at this moment, there are really a lot of people who fall into the well." I made them disappear from this world. ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "There is no need to kill, these people are unknown from an unknown source, and it is not appropriate to get into trouble now." Just give a warning. Tomorrow I need to be completely clean behind me, so I might as well startle the snake so that they don't dare to send someone to watch them tomorrow. ”

Shen Tan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go here." ”

In the back house of the old palace, on the small building near the Northwest Lake, Lin Jue, under the leadership of the little prince Guo Kun, saw the sorrowful princess in a splendid room on the second floor. The princess obviously didn't sleep well last night, her eyes were red, and the bags under her eyes were also visible. was originally a beautiful woman who still had charm, but now she is several years old.

Seeing Lin Jue, the princess's eyes lit up, and she ordered someone to serve tea and then retreated everyone. The princess asked eagerly, "Lin Jue, what should we do now?" According to the news that Kun'er heard today, the attitude of the imperial court is very bad. Almost none of the officials of the yamen came out to speak for the prince, and the reason for the manslaughter was also considered by the court to be a quibble, how could this be good? ”

Lin Jue bowed down and said, "Mother-in-law, don't panic, isn't all this expected?" On the way here, I said that the situation in the capital must be very tense and chaotic. You must stay calm at this moment, if you panic, you will have no rules, and it is easier to make mistakes. ”

The princess nodded and said, "I understand what you mean, but I can't help but panic, my heart is in my throat." Do you think I should go into the palace to see Concubine Rong today? Actually, I wanted to go last night. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said, "By no means, my mother-in-law must not act without permission." It's a good thing you didn't act on your own, otherwise it would have been a big deal. ”

The princess said: "It is precisely because I didn't consult with you that I didn't enter the palace." With Kun'er, I entered the palace last night. ”

Lin Jue glanced at Guo Kun, Guo Kun was a little embarrassed, and frowned: "Then you say, if you don't ask for someone now, when will you go?" Will they wait until they catch Daddy? ”

Lin Jue frowned and didn't want to deal with him, turned his head and said to the princess: ". asked Concubine Rong to not enter the palace to beg. The meeting between the mother-in-law and Concubine Rong cannot be known. Mother-in-law, I've arranged everything. You just listen to my arrangement. Tomorrow I will arrange for you to meet Concubine Rong in the box of my Nancheng Grand Theater. Concubine Rong will travel in micro-clothes, and her mother-in-law can't make a big show. At noon tomorrow, the little prince asked Shen Tan to give a mask to his mother-in-law, and asked her to dress up and go to the Nancheng Grand Theater alone. ”

Guo Kun was stunned: "Going alone? You're crazy. I'm afraid my mother doesn't even know the road. Besides, what are you going to do in disguise? Why can't we meet in the open? ”

Lin Jue sighed and said in his heart: "With your IQ, it is really difficult for me to explain it to you. ”

"In that case...... Many individuals disguised themselves to accompany their mothers-in-law to walk together. Mother-in-law, if you go out as an ordinary person, some eyes and ears will not keep an eye on you. I also did this to ensure that the matter was kept secret. You also know that this matter cannot be ostentatious. Lin Jue said.

The princess nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will take a maidservant girl forward, Kun'er doesn't have to worry, your mother and I used to run all over the corners of the capital, how can I not know the place?" Lin Jue also did this for the sake of secrecy. If we let the emperor know that we are active, wouldn't it make him even more unhappy. In the current situation, you need to be careful. ”

Guo Kun said: "That's good, the child will take people to protect secretly along the way." ”

Lin Jue shook his head and said, "No need, the task of the little prince tomorrow is to go to the army as usual and pretend to be nothing." You don't need to show up. You're the target of surveillance now, and when you move, everything is exposed. ”

Guo Kun frowned and said, "Then you can't have no manpower to protect it, what if something goes wrong?" ”

Lin Jue said: "In this way, Commander Shen can lead a few capable people to pretend to be ordinary people and mix in the street market and my Grand Theater to be on guard." This is the biggest concession, but I personally don't think it's necessary. ”

Guo Kun frowned and said, "Okay, then let Shen Tan go." But I have some doubts, can you invite Concubine Rong to your grand theater? Do you have such a big face? I don't believe it. ”

Lin Jue said: "I naturally don't have such a big face, but someone can." Mother-in-law, I have asked Lu Wu to go to the palace to invite Concubine Rong to watch a new play. Concubine Rong will definitely agree to her. ”

When the princess heard this, she suddenly woke up. Green Dance went to please, that would be bigger than anyone's face. Concubine Rong is naturally willing to watch the play with her daughter.

The little prince said strangely: "Green dance? That little girl next to you? Why can she be invited when she goes? ”

The princess and Lin Jue glanced at each other and remained silent. Guo Kun noticed something was wrong, and said anxiously: "Are you hiding something from me?" Mother, I'm your son, can't you tell me anything you can tell Lin Jue? ”

The princess sighed: "Kun'er, I will tell you later, your temper is too impatient, I can't tell you now." What you just said is very wrong, Lin Jue is also half of his mother's son, why is it close? Don't talk like that in the future. ”

Guo Kun's nose was full of ash, but he could only nod yes. Lin Jue got up and said, "It's settled, tomorrow I will wait for my mother-in-law at the Grand Theater." Everything is according to my arrangement, and there must be no complications. Whether she can persuade Concubine Rong to help lobby the Queen Mother tomorrow is the key at the moment. There must be no mistakes. ”

The princess nodded and said, "Don't worry." ”

Guo Kun couldn't help but still asked, "But what if Concubine Rong refuses to help tomorrow?" ”

Lin Jue smiled and said: "She will help, helping others is helping herself, she will understand." ”
