Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 44 Something happened to the clan uncle
Yu Qian saw Zhu Ji being so careful and sat quietly. After Zhu Ji came back and sat down, Yu Qian smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous?"

Zhu Ji sorted out his mood and said to Yu Qian: "Uncle-in-law, do you know a man named Lin Cunde? The second son of the former censor Lin Xiangfeng. Lin Xiangfeng died in the Tumu Fort, and Lin Cunde married Wang Ying's second daughter! "

Yu Qian recalled carefully for a moment, shook his head and said, "Lin Cunde? I have never heard of this person. Is there anything extraordinary about this person?"

"I'm not sure about this, it's just a guess!" Zhu Ji immediately answered and continued: "It's just that this person gives me a very strange feeling. He is not an ordinary person. Father-in-law, please listen to my son-in-law. This is my first time. When we met, we were together with Wang Ying's son Wang Zhi. When Wang Zhi introduced him, he specifically said that Lin Cunde was his future brother-in-law, and he was deeply liked by your second sister and Wang Ying! I had kept an eye on him from the beginning!
The second time we met, we met on the road. I was investigating the case, so I didn’t have anything to say. I just heard later that this person was going to a banquet in the palace. It was a banquet hosted by His Majesty and the Queen to entertain the families of the ministers. I thought , then personally take him to the Palace of Preservation and Harmony.

But who knew that he was going to meet His Majesty that day and said that Your Majesty wanted to see him, so I took him to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When we arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, His Majesty actually met him, and the meeting lasted for more than half an hour. In addition, this time I also said a few words for me in front of His Majesty. Now, Your Majesty also thinks highly of my son-in-law, and often asks him to follow me around.

Isn’t this strange? This time, the soaps and soaps were said to be from Queen Wang and the Wang family. Wang Zhi asked us to cooperate, and we agreed. However, the son-in-law also wanted to find out more about the soaps and soaps, so he sent someone I went to the soap and soap production area and found that Lin Cunde entered the place many times, and once for about half an hour. My son-in-law suspected that this matter had a lot to do with Lin Cunde! "

Yu Qian looked at Zhu Ji in shock at this moment. The news brought by Zhu Ji made him never think about it. After pondering for a while, he stroked his beard and said: "You said, Your Majesty and this Lin Cunde have almost met each other." Half an hour?"

"Yes, I still sent away Eunuch Cheng Jing and other guards. Even if they met alone, when the queen came later, they didn't dare to go in and disturb them. They waited outside. The son-in-law thought, since they are meeting Lin Cunde , if it is an ordinary matter, it stands to reason that the queen can definitely go in at any time, and she is not summoning ministers alone to discuss national affairs!" Zhu Ji nodded and said.

Yu Qian was extremely horrified. He couldn't help but stand up with the teacup in hand and began to think about what Zhu Ji said.

Zhu Ji continued: "My investigation later found that Wang Ying entered the palace many times during this period, especially every time there was an action on the Queen's side, it was after Wang Ying entered the palace!"

"Is there such a thing?" Yu Qian stopped and stared at Zhu Ji.

"Yes, my son-in-law also feels very strange about this Lin Cunde. This person is young, only 16 years old. Why is he trusted by His Majesty and Wang Ying? Moreover, this person has no contact with His Majesty before. This is his first contact. , we can talk for such a long time, what is there to talk about?" Zhu Ji once again expressed his thoughts to Yu Qian.

"In other words, the person behind His Majesty may be Lin Cunde?" Yu Qian asked, Zhu Ji nodded. After all, Zhu Ji was already a Qianhu, and he saw many things in the court, and some time ago , Yu Qianhe himself said that there might be someone behind His Majesty, otherwise, His Majesty might not have thought of these ideas.

Yu Qian continued to walk with the tea cup. After a while, he asked, "Is this person staying at home now?"

"Yes!" Zhu Ji nodded.

"It's a pity, otherwise, I really want to invite this person to my home! But, that's okay, I can just come and visit in person! Find out the truth!" Yu Qian said and walked to his seat. He sat down and looked at Zhu Ji and said.

When Zhu Ji heard this, he looked at Yu Qian in surprise: "My father-in-law, are you going to visit me personally?"

Yu Qian smiled and said: "Why not? If these ideas are all Lin Cunde's, it means that this person is somewhat talented. Moreover, these ideas are indeed very good. At least, I have never thought of them before. , and now, his idea is to let His Majesty break the situation, let the Queen break the situation, and truly rule the world and be the mother of the world!"

Zhu Ji still looked at Yu Qian in confusion. He knew that the Ministry of War had always wanted to take the lead in rebuilding the third battalion of the capital, but it was still rejected by His Majesty. Now it has been handed over to the Fifth Army Governor's Office for supervision. The Ministry of War and the court The ministers in the hall had their opinions, but they were helpless. Thinking of this, Zhu Ji couldn't help but ask: "My father-in-law, if it was really this person's idea, didn't this person also bring trouble to my father-in-law?"

"Trouble, what trouble? Are you talking about the court?" Yu Qian looked at Zhu Ji and asked.

Zhu Ji nodded.

"The affairs of the court are official affairs. How can there be personal hatred in official affairs? I want to see him, just to find out the truth. If this person really has some talent, it will be good for your majesty and the world. There are some things, I It's not convenient to tell your Majesty, but this person can!" Yu Qian explained to Zhu Ji with a smile.

"This!" Zhu Ji was a little hard to understand. Sometimes it was difficult to distinguish between business and private matters, at least he couldn't.

"Is your relationship with this person okay?" Yu Qian looked at Zhu Ji and asked.

"I have met him three times, but this person still recommends my son-in-law in front of His Majesty, which makes my son-in-law ashamed!" Zhu Ji immediately replied.

"Well, if you have a chance, take me to his house. In addition, if you find out more about this person, tell me if you find anything new!" Yu Qian ordered Zhu Ji.

Zhu Ji nodded, and then Yu Qian asked Zhu Ji about doing business. Hearing that he was doing business with Wang Zhi, and that there were several children of Wu Xun and the children of senior Jinyiwei officials, Yu Qian stopped talking and just gave instructions. He can't be too greedy for money.At noon, Zhu Ji had dinner at Yu Qian's house.

Lin Cunde, at home, was still reading as usual and enjoying the tranquility.

In the evening of this day, Lin Cunde was still reading. There was a knock on the door of his home. He was very anxious. Lin Cunde heard it in the study and couldn't help but look at Qiu Shuang. Qiu Shuang also understood what Lin Cunde meant and immediately left the study.

After a while, Qiu Shuang came in and said to Lin Cunde: "Master, a lady who claims to be Lin Yunqi is here to see her!"

"Please!" Lin Cunde stood up anxiously and ordered, knowing in his heart that something must have happened to Lin Yunqi, otherwise, my aunt would definitely not come knocking on the door to ask for permission at this time.

Soon, Lin Yunqi's wife Xiao came in, her face full of tears and her hair a little messy. Lin Cunde hurriedly went over and cupped his hands in front of Xiao and said, "My nephew has seen my aunt, but what happened?"

Lin Cunde has met Mr. Xiao many times. When his parents were still alive, the two families would often get together. After all, members of the same family who were also officials in the capital would definitely move around more.

"Cunde, your uncle was captured by the Jinyi Guards, saying that he had contact with the eunuchs in the palace. Before he was arrested, your uncle secretly told me that I must come to you and say that you know Wang Ying. Wang Ying is now He is also the commander of the Jinyi Guards. He just doesn't care about things, but he can speak out!" Mrs. Xiao was crying and said to Lin Cunde at this moment.

"Ah? There is a connection between the eunuchs in the palace. What kind of connection? Is there any interest?" Lin Cunde looked at Mr. Xiao in surprise and asked.

"How do I know? I just heard what the Jin Yiwei people said!" Mrs. Xiao was also confused. Lin Yunqi was arrested, and she was also panicked. Moreover, women really don't know much about men outside.

"Okay, I understand, go call Da Jia over!" Lin Cunde said to Qiu Shuang, Qiu Shuang went out immediately and came in with Da Jia after a while.

"Go to Wang's Mansion, find Wang Zhi, and tell him that I have something to do with him and ask him to come over quickly. If he is not at home, ask where he has been and go find him!" Lin Cunde said to Dajia. He said, Da Jia has been to Wang's Mansion many times. If he goes there, the servants of Wang's Mansion will let him in.

"Auntie, please drink some water first. How will the younger brothers and sisters at home be settled?" Lin Cunde said, pouring a glass of warm water for Mrs. Xiao and handing it to Mrs. Xiao.

"Cunde, they are all at home, and there are servants at home. It's just that my aunt is a female prostitute, and she doesn't know many people in the capital. Your uncle said she was looking for you, so my aunt has no choice but to look for you. You have to help me. Uncle!" Xiao still said to Lin Cunde with tears in his eyes.

"Don't worry, aunt. I will definitely do my best. When I buried my parents and brother, my uncle has been here to help with the ceremony. Otherwise, my nephew will be black-eyed, and he will not be able to write two characters "lin" in one stroke!" Lin Cunde immediately expressed his position! He said that he also hoped that Mr. Xiao would not be so anxious. After all, he had just been arrested and it was not clear why he was arrested. He still needed to find out.

Qiu Shuang also came over to help Xiao sit down. At this time, Lin Cunyi and Ye also came over. Although they were not familiar with Xiao, they learned that she was Lin Yunqi's wife and respectfully called her aunt. After all, Lin Yunqi was also a member of the family. people.

Mrs. Ye sat there with her, and Lin Cunde was also waiting for news. Lin Cunyi went outside to order some food to be cooked. No matter what, he needed to keep Mr. Xiao at home to eat, although Mr. Xiao might not be able to eat it.

About three-quarters of an hour later, footsteps were heard outside, and Lin Cunde stood up. After a while, Wang Zhi took Zhu Ji to Lin Cunde's study.

"Brother-in-law, what happened?" Wang Zhi came in and shouted to Lin Cunde.

"Well, there's something going on. Brother Shang De, you're here too. It just so happens that I may need your help with this matter!" Lin Cunde was very happy when he saw Zhu Ji coming.

Zhu Ji immediately waved his hand and said: "On the way here, I heard from your servant that a relative at home may have been arrested, and I thought I could come over to help you find out the news!"

"Brother Shang De is interested!" Lin Cunde immediately said with his hands in hand, and then asked them to sit down.

Wang Zhi also smiled and asked Zhu Ji to sit down, and did not forget to introduce: "This is for tea. My brother-in-law made it. My dad thinks it is good to drink tea this way, and he also made it at home. It is really convenient to drink tea." There are many, and you can chat while drinking tea!”

Xiao and Ye were also sitting next to them, just staring at the three of them. Xiao knew very well that these two people were the people Lin Cunde had asked to help, but they were too young. For such a young person to deal with her husband's affairs, Can it be done?
With doubts, Mrs. Xiao could only sit quietly and listen to them carefully.
