Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 983 News from various sources
Lin Yanqing and Taishi Yao chatted quietly, and the old god was there the whole time. Those who saw them just regarded it as old friends and reminisced about the past, without thinking much about it.

But the old man Qi across from him didn't think so. He glared at Lin Jin'an who was writing furiously and kept scolding:

These two old guys must be scolding me! A common man who got into official positions only by flattering the late emperor, and a person who pretends to be aloof and just for fame, dare to be in front of me! When my grandson reaches high school, your descendants will be trampled under his feet!

Mrs. Qi's angry tongue was bitter, and his eyes were full of resentment. Lin Jinan, who was concentrating on answering the paper, couldn't notice it at all. He only focused on writing what was in his heart on the paper.

The emperor, who was in high position, watched with great interest for an hour. His embarrassment became more and more obvious. He endured a few yawns and his head felt heavy. Zheng Cheng drank strong tea twice before he regained his energy.

Those waiting around felt sleepy and simply listened to Zheng Cheng's reports.

Zheng Cheng took two steps forward, bowed and whispered:

Rumors about Hua Yuncheng and the little princess were rampant in the palace, but the source could not be found. There were quite a few people in the palace who saw the little princess falling into the water at the birthday banquet. The news should have come from their mouths.

The man in black held Lin Jinyan with a knife and jumped off the cliff. His body has not been found, and his life and death are currently unknown. Those accomplices in Dali Temple were tough-talking and even before they opened their mouths, those who confessed still insisted that they were acting on the orders of the prince.

When people sent to Binzhou and Xiangzhou were tracing the stolen treasures of the Xue family, they found something strange, and the Jianghu sect Wanyuan Sect seemed to be involved.

The items stolen from the Office of the Official Secretary are indeed owned by the palace. After careful investigation, it seems that they are related to the Queen and Concubine Xian, and the evidence is being traced.

The Cheng family, an aristocratic family, intends to make Cheng Qi, the eldest son of this generation, the next head of the Cheng family.

Did Cheng know that the fourth lady of the Cheng family had sent Ming Yue and her daughter to assassinate Lin Jinyan? They were expelled from the Cheng family and sent to a village in the countryside where they would never be able to return to Beijing. Ming Yue was quite loyal to the Queen Mother, so the Gu family shouldn't be able to ask anything. To prevent any accident, they had already sent spies from the Dingbei Army to silence her.

In the past few days, the envoy from Mobei had been urging the Ministry of Rites to report to the hotel three times a day, saying that he had to return to Mobei as soon as possible due to urgent matters.

Mobei's apology is estimated to have arrived in the north at this time. After checking the quantity, the message will be received as soon as the day after.

The emperor listened to each one one by one, and then spoke for a long time, ordering that the current investigation should be done carefully and the person behind the scenes must be found.

"As for Mobei...that Gewei in the prison, after all the hard work, I gave him some time to breathe. After all, I accepted the ransom gift and at least let him return to Lu Sang alive."

Zheng Cheng respectfully agreed without any surprise in his heart. As early as when Mo Zhenhui insulted him at the palace gate, he knew Gewei's fate.

After talking about the business, Zheng Cheng saw the emperor's stern face and took the initiative to talk about Concubine Jade and Lin Jinyan playing chess. They had a pleasant conversation and said that the Queen Mother had given Lin Jinyan something as a reward.

The emperor nodded and ordered the dinner to be placed in Wangshu Palace. He thought for a while and then said:
"Let's put it in the longevity palace. I haven't had dinner with my mother for a long time. I always go to her place. I dote on her so much. If she wants to, she should come and invite me."

Zheng Cheng smiled and said nothing: I hope Concubine Jade will come to invite you, but I am afraid the sun will rise in the west.

After entering the palace for nearly three hours, Lin Jinan stopped writing immersedly before hearing a slight sound in the palace. He rubbed his aching arms and read it from beginning to end, with a tired expression and a bright smile in his eyes.

When the emperor saw that Lin Jinan had finished the inspection, he ordered Zheng Cheng to take it up and have a look.
