Chapter 258: The Victim
In the dark small hall, Lin Jueku sat in it for a long time, not moving. The people in Mochizuki Tower didn't know what was going on, they only knew that it seemed that Lin Gongzi had a falling out with the prince and the prefect about something, and then Lin Gongzi was in a bad mood and was stuffy in the hall.
In the room next door outside the hall, Xie Danhong whispered to Xie Yingying: "Yingying, you go and ask what's going on?" What was supposed to be a happy day, how did it suddenly turn out like this? The prince of the people, the little prince and the prefect came to cheer, this is to put gold on our faces, why did Lin Gongzi still fall out with others? This Lin Gongzi's temper is really amazing. ”
Xie Yingying frowned and said: "Don't say this kind of thing, Lin Gongzi has his own Lin Gongzi's reasoning, although I don't know what happened, but I am on Lin Gongzi's side." No matter what happens, I support him. ”
Xie Danhong crossed his waist and smacked his lips and said: "You are obsessed with love, and you are indiscriminate." offended the prince and the prefect, so we still have a good life? Lin Gongzi is capable, but I'm afraid today's things are not right. ”
Xie Yingying said: "Mom, we have today, and we are all the power of Lin Gongzi." How can you say such a thing? When there are difficulties together, and when there are disasters, I don't like to hear these words again. ”
Xie Danhong smacked his lips and said: "The slave family doesn't mean anything else, am I a person who is not grateful?" Isn't this for everyone's sake? That's it, let's not talk about it. Lin Gongzi is bored inside now and can't come out, but you should persuade him. ”
Xie Yingying said: "Why don't you go?" ”
Xie Danhong was dumbfounded: "I thought, I went in and asked a question just now, and I directly blasted out the slave family." Tsk, a capable person has a big temper, and the prince and prefect dare to offend, let alone a slave family. ”
Xie Yingying sneered and said: "You are asking for this, he is obviously in a bad mood, you still ran to ask the east and west to complain that he offended the prince and the prefect Yan, who is he not bombarding you?" ”
Xie Danhong shook his head and said angrily: "Oh, you are talking more and more towards him now." Yingying, don't forget, you knew me earlier than he did. pampered you and protected you, now it's okay, the wings are stiff, and the elbows are turned out. ”
Xie Yingying smiled: "Why does my mother always say such things? You know that the warbler is not that kind of person. ”
Xie Danhong sighed: "That's it, it's good if you can have a good home, Lin Gongzi will definitely be rich and rich in the future, you have to hurry up." Mo Chengtian thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to do it in action. If you say that, sooner or later you will regret it. With a character like him, women are still not allowed to pounce? You wait for him to speak, I guess it's difficult. ”
Xie Yingying frowned and said, "What can I do?" Do you want me to be a girl...... Go...... Take the initiative to ...... with him Confession? If he had no intention, wouldn't I...... Isn't it ......?"
Xie Danhong rolled his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of?" If he refuses, he will have no eyes. How many people are crazy about what you think? Teach me to say, I will give him a pot of aphrodisiac, and keep your good deeds done. This kind of thing, can it be difficult for me Xie Danhong? ”
Xie Yingying hurriedly said: "Don't do this, if you do, I ...... I'd rather die than die. ”
Xie Danhong smiled and said: "Look at you scared, I'm just talking, that's the method used before, now that we've changed our ways, how can we do it again?" But it's not a way for you to take the initiative like this, just like at this moment, you should comfort and comfort him. He blasts me out, but he won't blast you out. Is it useful for you to sit here? ”
Xie Yingying frowned and thought about it, slowly got up and said softly: "That's what I said, I'll take a look." It's nothing to be blasted out. Make me a pot of tea, and I'll bring it in. ”
In the darkness of the small hall, Lin Jue sat alone, listening to the noise and noise of the people in the market, and his heart was extremely bored. He never thought that something would go wrong with the things that the prince and the Yan Governor's Mansion had promised, and a tragic incident would happen on Guishan Island. He also promised Gao Muqing that he would rid the people of Guishan Island from the notoriety of bandits, and the imperial court would pardon all their past and give them a new life, but all this became empty words.
That's all, Gao Muqing is now missing, life and death are unknown, which is what Lin Jue is very worried about. Although Lin Jue believed that with Gao Muqing's martial arts, he would not be arrested and killed. But even if Gao Muqing escaped, she was probably extremely sad and hated herself. It was his promise that was not fulfilled, but it made Guishan Island suffer, no need for Gao Muqing to hate himself, Lin Jue himself felt that he couldn't forgive himself.
Governor Yan and the prince came together today, in fact, to explain this matter to themselves. It's ridiculous that I thought I had face, and I thought they took the initiative to come to cheer. However, judging from their attitude, this incident should also be unexpected to them. Although the prince is not an honest and reliable person, he is not so deceiving himself as an empty promise. Yan Zhengsu is a person who does what he says, and he will not fool himself. It can only be said that someone in the DPRK and China suddenly had a trouble, and things suddenly got out of control, which led to all this happening. This may be the result of a factional struggle between the DPRK and China, and the people of Gushan Island have fallen victim to this struggle.
Of course, all this was speculation, and Lin Jue couldn't be sure what was going on, at this moment, he was just caught in deep self-blame and worry and guilt for Gao Muqing.
Under the verandah of the hall, the lamp is like a bean, and the dim light penetrates through the gap between the long window and the bamboo curtain, and the light and shadow move in the small hall like a marquee. The bamboo curtain was lightly raised, and a delicate voice holding a candlestick in one hand and a teapot in the other appeared in front of the door.
Lin Jue squinted and saw clearly that the person who came was Xie Yingying.
Xie Yingying gently moved to the table, put the candlestick on the table, lightly made a cup of tea for Lin Jue, and stood quietly with her hands folded, looking at Lin Jue with a frowning and bitter face with soft eyes.
Lin Jue sighed and said softly: "The performance is hard in the afternoon, why don't you go to rest?" ”
Xie Yingying smiled and shook her head and spit out a few words: "I'm not tired." ”
Lin Jue sighed: "Is it my emotions that affect everyone? Just now, Mother Xie came in and was scolded by me a few words, and I went to apologize to her after a while. ”
Xie Yingying shook her head and said, "No need, my mother knows that you are irritable, and she has already forgiven you." ”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "No matter what, I shouldn't be angry at her, this matter has nothing to do with her." ”
Xie Yingying nodded and said, "The slave family understands." The slave family doesn't want to talk much, the slave family just wants to tell Childe that no matter what happens, our Grand Theater will stand on Childe's side. Childe is in a bad mood, even if he scolds us a few times, we won't care. We just hope that Childe will not be impatient and not too worried. With Childe's ability, there should be nothing that can stump Childe. Childe only calmed down, and should come up with a good way to deal with it. ”
Lin Jue smiled bitterly: "Am I really that powerful?" ”
"In the heart of the slave family...... Childe can do anything. Xie Yingying said softly.
Lin Jue sighed and said, "Omnipotent? If only I could do anything. This time, a great thing was done, and I didn't have any tricks. Hope...... Let's hope things don't get that bad. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive myself. ”
Xie Yingying said softly: "Childe, Yingying is an uninformed woman, and Yingying can't help you." But if the son is sent, the warbler will go to the soup and the fire. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "I understand, Miss Yingying, I'm worried about you." ”
Xie Yingying said quietly: "That's nothing, it's a pity that Yingying is just worried in vain and can't help Gongzi." ”
Lin Jue smiled: "You have already helped me, you have come to say a few words to me, I feel much better." The sky is falling, not to mention that the sky can't fall. This matter will not affect the Grand Theatre, and you don't have to worry about me. Today's performance was good and I'm very satisfied. You've worked hard. ”
Xie Yingying looked at Lin Jue quietly and said, "The slave family is not hard, the son is the real hard work." Childe has a sip of tea, I ordered someone to bring some food, Childe eat something, don't think about those things for the time being. ”
Lin Jue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll eat here and go back." ”
……
The matter of Guishan Island Zhao'an was indeed as Lin Jue expected, and the mistake was deliberately done by man. After the success of the suppression of bandits on Guishan Island, the Liangwang Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu and others jointly played a memora mentioning that the people of Guishan Island and others actively assisted the officers and soldiers to exterminate the bandits.
This was originally a great thing, and the Guishan Island cottage was like a thorn nailed in Hongze Lake, affecting a large area of surrounding states and counties, and becoming the biggest hidden danger in the inland of the imperial court. But the imperial court couldn't pull out this thorn. This time, however, they took the initiative to submit to obedience and assisted the officers and men in suppressing bandits and making meritorious contributions, which would certainly have been agreed upon according to common sense. Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu also believed that after the folding, the Holy Lord would quickly agree and order the relevant people to handle the contact. It's hardly difficult.
However, Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu overlooked one point, and the success of the suppression of the pirates changed the fate of the Liang Palace, which made the already promising attempt to persuade the Holy Admiral Guo Bing to recall him back to the capital became slim. Guo Bing's meritorious work in suppressing the bandits once again proved his value in Hangzhou, and this time even the saint may not be able to abolish the emperor's will to summon him back to Beijing in the name of ineffective control. This is not good news for some of Mr. Guo's political opponents. One of the representative figures is Prime Minister Lu Zhongtian.
For Lu Zhongtian, Guo Bing must not be allowed to be arrogant because of the success of this fluke, let alone allow him to do whatever he wants. greatly weakens the influence of this matter, and tells those who waver in their hearts because of this incident that they can still embarrass Guo Bing, and they still have the ability to punish anyone who gets involved with Guo Bing. It is based on this psychology that the Guishan Island cottage became the first victim.
This is also because among all the people involved in the suppression of bandits, Yan Zhengsu is difficult to shake, and Ning Haijun is under the jurisdiction of the privy envoy Yang Jun, and it is not easy to start. Among them, the Guishan Island cottage and the person named Lin Jue are the easiest to start. And the Guishan Island cottage has become the first choice because it is a place to hide dirt and dirt.
