Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1024 Come to apologize
Lin House.

Lin Jinyan took Lin Jinan and inspected several shops before returning home. From a distance, they saw that the entrance to the mansion was crowded with people, and the number was getting larger and larger.

Lin Jinyan lowered the car curtain and told Wei Zhong to bypass the main gate and enter the mansion through the side door to find out what had happened.

As soon as they parked their carriage in the West Garden, Lin Shun came to meet them. Without waiting for the two to ask, Lin Shun reported the situation in the mansion:

This morning, the notice and the palace examination essays were displayed to the public. Afterwards, the Qi family was investigated, and the confessions obtained during the interrogation confirmed that the palace examination rumors were indeed instigated by the people from Mobei.

The reason why the Qi family got involved was because when Qi Mu of the Qi family was taking the palace examination, he heard His Majesty praising Lin Jinan's policy essay and was worried that Lin Jinan would take the top spot, so he threw dirty water on Lin Jinan, wanting to make him bear the infamy and miss out on the palace examination.

After reading the confessions of the Qi family and the Mobei spies, His Majesty was furious. On the one hand, he sent a message to the garrison troops in Mobei to block the envoys' route, and on the other hand, he sent 200 elite soldiers to chase them at a rapid march, making it clear that he would never let go of the thieves who disturbed Tianchu.

A few days ago, the student who believed the rumors and cursed the Lin family knew that he was instigated and became an accomplice in slandering the Lin family. He was ashamed. So he came to the Lin family and wanted to apologize in person.

Lin Shun's face was filled with a bright smile as if the dark clouds had dissipated:

"The old master just invited the two leading students in and they are talking in the front hall. A message has been sent to Tianqi Academy, and the master is on his way back home. I heard that the dozen or so students who believed the rumors and cursed the most fiercely and even beat people have all received money from Mobei and have been captured by the city defense army. The young master's stigma has been washed away."

Although Lin Jinyan was not surprised, she was also really happy for her brother:
"Brother, you are the victim in this matter, you can do whatever you want." Lin Jinan suppressed the corners of his lips and calmly put his hands behind his back:
"The straight tree is cut down first, and the intact jade is suspected. It is really lonely at the top. Although the students have realized that they should not be advised in the past, they have come to apologize, which means that they know that they can still be pursued. They have realized their mistakes in time, so it is better to forgive them this time, but they should not be forgiven easily, so as not to make the same mistake again. The degree of this is unfathomable and needs to be carefully considered."

At the end of his speech, Lin Jinan raised his head and pretended to stroke his beard, which made Lin Jinyan laugh. He bowed and said:
"Master Lin has a far-sighted vision, and I have learned a lot from him."

The brother and sister smiled at each other and watched Lin Jinyan leave. Lin Jinan lowered his eyes and straightened his clothes, putting away the childishness on his face and replacing it with a mature and steady temperament:
"Come on, since we're here, we have to meet for a while."
-
Yan Yuxuan.

Lin Jinyan had just changed her clothes when Hong Jiu, who had just finished taking a shower, walked in. His hair was half-tied up casually, and his slightly damp hair was draped all over his back, revealing a hint of gentleness in his heroic look.

Lin Jinyan glanced at him, motioned Bai Zhi to hand a dry towel to Hong Jiu, and poured hot tea herself:

"Although you are strong from practicing martial arts, you still need to take care of yourself. The weather is still a little cold, so there is no need to rush. Dry your hair before going out."

Hong Jiu took the handkerchief and said "hmm" faintly, but his eyes were full of tenderness:

"We found the person. He had been on the run for a day and a night, but he only climbed over two mountains. He also fainted due to a fever on the official road outside Beijing. I took him to Taoist Li and gave him some fever-reducing sleeping pills. He woke up, and it was around the time when my second cousin got married."

Hearing the disdain in Hong Jiu's words, Lin Jinyan found it funny:
"The female knight is highly skilled in martial arts, but he is just a weak and cowardly scholar. I already think highly of him for being able to find the right direction and spend the night alone in the mountains."
