The front hall was brightly lit, and a man with a white body and a pale face looking panicked was fidgeting at the door of the hall. When Lin Jue walked in quickly with a gust of wind, the man hurriedly stood up and rushed to Lin Jue as if he had seen a savior.

"Cousin Lin Sheng? What the hell is going on? What happened to the head of the house? Say it. Lin Jue asked.

That fat man is Lin Sheng, the second son of the Lin family's second room, and Lin Bonian's second son.

"Lin Jue, I can see you. It's amazing. Lin Sheng wailed, grabbed Lin Jue's hand, his whole body trembled, and he was about to cry with a grin.

"What the hell is going on? You mean. Lin Jue stomped his feet.

Lin Sheng trembled his lips and said, "My father, he was taken away." A large group of servants came in, and Daddy was taken away as soon as he lay down. I didn't know what was going on, so I forcibly took it away. Is there still a royal law here? Daddy is the deputy envoy of the third division. How can they be so savage? ”

Lin Jue interrupted his rambling and said in a deep voice: "Can you see which person from the yamen is it?" Who led the team? ”

Lin Sheng shook his head and shouted, "I don't know, I got the news that the person has been taken out of the house." The housekeeper didn't see it clearly, but he only heard what his father said, asking me to come and find a way to find a way. Say maybe only you can save him. No, I'm coming to you in a hurry. Our Lin family has no one else in the capital, and we can really only look for you. Lin Jue, you are now the county horse of the palace, can you go and ask Lord Liang to think of a way, Lin Jue ......"

Lin Jue waved his hand to interrupt Lin Sheng's words, frowning and thinking quickly. Lin Hu went in to report that the head of the family had been arrested, and Lin Jue was thinking about what happened on the way here. Now listening to Lin Sheng say this, Lin Jue immediately understood a general idea. Although Lin Sheng didn't know which person from the yamen took Lin Bonian away, Lin Jue already knew it.

Since the arrest of his son-in-law under the list, the relationship between Lin Bonian and himself has dropped to the freezing point. Lin Jue didn't go to see him either, because Lin Jue was also extremely dissatisfied with Lin Bonian. If Lin Bonian didn't come to give himself a soft face, Lin Jue even planned to keep fighting with him like this. However, after all, Lin Bonian is the head of the Lin family and his second uncle, and Lin Jue also wants to find an opportunity to release his past suspicions, and the past will pass. After all, this is a contradiction within the Lin family, and Lin Bonian may have been fooled by Wu Chunlai.

Therefore, Lin Jue naturally would not sit idly by and watch Lin Bonian being arrested. Lin Jue will not give up on any of the Lin family, unless he is extremely evil and will lead the Lin family into the danger of destruction.

Lin Jue has always had one thing hanging in his heart, that is, the impeachment of Lin Bonian. He wanted to help, but he couldn't do anything. First, Lin Bonian refused to say anything to Lin Jue, and secondly, Lin Jue couldn't intervene when Lord Yan and Mr. Yan came there. Lin Jue proposed to let Lin Bonian turn himself in, but Lin Bonian resolutely refused. So things have been frozen there. Lin Jue really didn't know what to do.

And tonight, Lin Bonian was taken away from home by a group of servants, and Lin Bonian asked Lin Sheng to come to him to save his life, which was very likely to be his mistake. In the land of the capital, there are not many yamen who can lead people to arrest the three major officials. Lin Bonian had no other troubles other than the impeachment incident, but things had deteriorated.

"What to do? What to do? Lin Jue, think of a way. You're not holding grudges, are you? Don't forget, you are a member of our Lin family, and my father is the head of the Lin family. Lin Sheng saw that Lin Jue was silent, and stomped his feet and shouted loudly.

Lin Jue frowned and shouted, "What are you panicking about? What was said? Can I ignore what happens to the head of the house? ”

Lin Sheng also realized that what he said was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Then what should I do now?" You said. ”

Lin Jue said coldly: "Don't mess up by yourself, I'll go and find out which yamen did it first." Go back to your house. Now that your house is in chaos, you need to sit back and appease them, and you can't mess up yourself. Got it? ”

Lin Sheng nodded with a sad face: "Okay." There was indeed chaos in the house, and the mother and aunts in the back house were crying and crying loudly. Some said that Daddy couldn't come back, clamoring to walk softly or something. Hey, I don't know what to do. ”

Lin Jue shouted: "Are you a man?" Can't you control the scene at this time? You are the son of the Lin family, and you need to stand up at this moment. After going back, he closed the door of the house and guarded the house with the housekeeper. Whoever makes trouble at this time will be punished severely. Don't be merciful to his aunt's relatives, understand? ”

Lin Sheng bowed and trembled and said, "Hey, hey, I know." ”

Lin Jue looked at his wrecked appearance and was extremely dissatisfied, this product is arrogant on weekdays, and he pretends to be an uncle in and out of Flower Street and Willow Lane, but at a critical time, he looks like a wreck. Counting on him to suppress the scene is afraid that it will not work.

"Well, I'll go and find out how the head of the house is doing, and I'll look for you in your house. Before I arrive, you have to cheer me up. Lin Jue shouted coldly.

"Okay, okay." Lin Sheng nodded in response.

Lin Jue turned his head and instructed Lin Hu: "Hurry up and prepare the horse, and let Li Xianliang bring a few guards to follow." ”

Lin Hu answered loudly, turned around and rushed out. A moment later, there was a shouting of orders in the courtyard outside. Lin Jue turned around and wanted to go back to the back house to change clothes, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Lin Shengwu standing there stunned, and frowned and shouted: "You don't go back to the house yet, what are you doing standing here?" ”

"Yes, yes, let's go, let's go." Lin Sheng came to his senses and hurriedly left.

Lin Jue sighed, strode towards the back house, entered the back house door and commanded in a loud voice: "Change clothes, change clothes, quickly change clothes for me." ”

The maids were galloping, and the little county lord and Lu Wu stood under the porch and looked at Lin Jue who was walking briskly and the serious look on his face, and they all felt nervous in their hearts. The hands of the two were also tightly clasped together.

……

The long street on the summer night is empty and dark, and the rapid sound of horses' hooves hitting the bluestone on the street is crisp and intense. The people in many houses on both sides of the street opened their windows and looked out, muttering in their hearts that they didn't know what had happened, causing such a big movement in the middle of the night.

Lin Jue, Lin Hu, Li Xianliang, the captain of the royal palace guard who was in charge of guarding Lin Jue's mansion, and seven or eight guards were galloping along the empty street on horseback. The dim wind lights on both sides of the street flickered, and the streets were left behind, and in less than half an hour, the group arrived in front of the Yushitai Yamen outside the Donghua Gate.

The front of the Yamen of the Imperial Observatory was not as deserted and lonely as usual, Lin Jue had waited here until it was dark in order to wait for Fang Dunru. After nightfall, the Yamen of Yushitai is pitch black, which is quite eerie and terrifying. But at this moment, the lights are bright in front of the yamen. There were a dozen guards standing in front of the door. On a normal day, there are only two gatekeepers here. This also further allowed Lin Jue to confirm his guess, Lin Bonian must have been arrested by the Yushitai, otherwise how could he behave like this.

When Lin Jue and his entourage came to the yamen, the officials at the yamen looked at each other with their swords in their hands as if they were facing a great enemy. Lin Jue turned over and dismounted, and a group of more than ten people walked towards the yamen. Seeing this, a head of the official squad stepped forward a few steps and asked.

"Who? The Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory is important and is not allowed to stay. ”

Lin Jue stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I came to ask to see Cheng Fang Dunru in the imperial history, please inform me to go in." ”

The head of the team frowned and shouted, "Who are you?" My family has commanded, and no one will be seen tonight. Please come back. ”

"Please inform Fang Zhongcheng, just say that Lin Jue wants to see, please come to me." Lin Jue took a few steps in front of the head of the class, and insisted loudly.

"Lin Jue? Is Lin Jue, the new champion? Fang Zhongcheng's student Lin Jue? The head of the official team asked in astonishment.

Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "It's me, this brother, I do have something urgent to see Fang Zhongcheng, please let me know." If Fang Zhongcheng is gone, I will leave immediately, and I will not bother. ”

The head of the official team frowned and thought for a while: "That's it, I was scolded by Lord Zhongcheng, and I couldn't help but give Zhuangyuanlang face." A few of you will wait a little longer, and then you will go to the next place. ”

Lin Jue smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Brother is righteous, there is hard work." ”

The head of the squad nodded, turned and walked through the door. Lin Jue and the others stood at the door and waited. Time passed for a long time, Lin Jue dodged back and forth, and several horses stomped their hooves uneasily, as if sensing people's moods. Finally, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and the head of the official team appeared at the door with a lantern.

"How? What does Zhongcheng say? Lin Jue hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

The head of the official team frowned and said: "I was reprimanded by Lord Zhongcheng, he said that he didn't see anyone tonight, and I went to report it to be scolded." ”

Lin Jue heard that the words were wrong, and his heart suddenly sank. But I heard the head of the official team say: "Fortunately, although I was scolded, Lord Zhongcheng still agreed to see you." ”

Lin Jue was overjoyed, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, brother, brother is tired." A small meaning, not a tribute. Lin Jue took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them over.

The head of the official team was startled, and waved his hand again and again: "Lord Lin, this is unacceptable, are you asking for my life?" Lord Zhongcheng has strictly ordered that anyone in the Yamen of the Imperial Historical Observatory will be severely punished as long as they are bribed. One or two pieces of silver will cost you your job and go to jail, which is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly took back the silver and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's my fault." In this way, I invite you to drink another day, which is not a bribe. ”

"That's pretty much it, but forget it. It's nothing. Come in, Lord Zhongcheng has important things to do next, and you may have to hurry up. By the way, you're the only one to go in, and the rest of you have to stay outside. The head of the official team said.

Lin Jue nodded in response, thanked him again, turned around and ordered Lin Hu, Li Xianliang and others to wait here, and walked into the dark gate of the Yushitai by himself.

Yu Shi Lin Jue has been here a few times, but he is also familiar with the road. It's just that the atmosphere is very different tonight, and on the way to Fang Dunru's public house, there are officials hurrying by from time to time, as if they are very busy. Not long after, Lin Jue entered the courtyard where Fang Dunru's mansion was located, and there were several officials standing high and low in the open space in the courtyard, as if waiting in line to meet, and they seemed to be waiting for orders at any time.

The prismatic paper on the long window of the public house is snow-white, reflecting several busy figures in the house. Bright lights shone out from the hidden doorway.

Lin Jue walked to the porch at the door, and whispered to an errand officer standing at the door: "This brother, please call Lord Zhongcheng, and say that Lin Jue wants to see him." ”

The messenger glared at Lin Jue twice, nodded and said, "Wait." ”
