Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1002 Spreading rumors
After clearing her thoughts, Lin Jinyan called Wei Zhong and asked him to send someone to Zhangzhou for a secret investigation.

To be cautious, Lin Jinyan did not draw the appearance of the concubine, nor reveal her identity. She only told the general situation of the concubine, and repeatedly told her that it didn't matter if it took a long time, and she must not be known to anyone.

Wei Zhong responded and reported the errand:

"According to the instructions of the young lady, the news was revealed to the Duke's Mansion. Zhao Jin has been found and taken away by Xue Ren. The person sent to Binzhou to investigate has also found out the news we released. If there is no accident, at the latest The news will reach the palace the next day."

Lin Jinyan nodded with satisfaction:
"Keep an eye on it and don't make any mistakes. The envoy will not stay in Kyoto for too long. The people who reveal this news to the Duke's Mansion should do it in a secretive manner so as not to reveal their identity."

"Moreover, the Duke's Palace has suffered bad luck today, so it should be a happy event. In the name of Prince Jin's Palace, I will inform Qin Zongheng about Yun Niang and the child. He has lost his body, and he will be happy to know that he has a wife. Prince Qin I’m so busy with everything, I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell him.”

Wei Zhong took the order and left, and met Hong Jiu when he went out. The two of them nodded and said hello.

Hong Jiu entered the room, took out the envelope from his arms and handed it to Lin Jinyan:
"I just found out the news. The Qi family asked people to spread the news, saying that it was the young master's imperial examination. The old master informed the topic of the policy discussion in advance, and the general asked your majesty to plead with his military merits. He has already been the top one by default. The news has not spread yet, An The boss sent a message and asked me to inform the lady immediately."

Lin Jinyan read the letter carefully and couldn't help but admire the power of Mingye Pavilion in Kyoto.

The records in the letter are very detailed, including who the Qi family looked for and how much money they gave, including the person's address, which relative of the Qi family's steward was out of reach, and the unilateral dissatisfaction that Mr. Qi had against Lin Yanqing in his early years. Written clearly.

Lin Jinyan handed the secret letter in her hand and the food she had written down before to Bai Zhi to burn:
"It's the Qi family again, it's really annoying..." Hong Jiu raised his hand and wiped the tip of his nose:
"Ahem, the Qi family should be busy after dusk. Miss, don't be angry."

Lin Jinyan asked with her eyes, seeing Hong Jiu avoiding his eyes and pretending to be secretive, thinking that the evening was approaching, she stopped asking. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Bai Zhi:
"Are my grandfather and brother at home?"

Bai Zhi: "In the mansion. The master and the young master should be in the old master's study at the moment."

In the study room, Lin Yanqing and the other three were discussing how to be careful in their words and deeds in the future due to the conversation in the General's Mansion. The atmosphere was originally solemn, but they suddenly relaxed when they heard Lin Jinyan's request for an audience.

After being seated, Lin Jinyan got straight to the point and asked:
"Both my grandfather and father have seen my brother's strategies. Can my brother be ranked first in high school?"

Lin Yanqing looked at Lin Jinan with admiration:
"An'er's strategy is already at the top of my mind. It doesn't matter which ranking he gets in the exam."

Lin Jinyan told the news spread by the Qi family, and at the end she said worriedly:

"If it hadn't been for the people I once rescued who unexpectedly learned about this incident and told them kindly, I'm afraid we wouldn't have known who had been slandered when the rumors spread. By then, even if my brother topped the high school due to his strength, and the people were instigated, they would still feel that my brother was instigated. The name is not worthy of the name.”

"It will take at least three days to judge the imperial examination papers. If during this period, this vicious rumor arouses the students' anger, His Majesty will lose his favor with my brother. Maybe he will protect the reputation of the royal family and remove my brother from the top of the list. Then my brother will be How unjust.”
