Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 45 This is a strange thing
Lin Cunde sat down on the main seat, poured tea for Zhu Ji and Wang Zhi, and then made a gesture of invitation and said: "Please use tea!"

"Cunde, it's interesting for you to drink tea like this. How to make this tea table? You have to give me a drawing. I want to make one in my office so that guests don't have to make tea when they come!" Zhu Ji stood Get up, then bend down and look at the tea table carefully.

"It's simple. I'll have someone make one and send it to you when the time comes!" Lin Cunde said with a smile.

"But seriously, I won't be polite. When the time comes, just give me my name when you send it to the Central Institute!" Zhu Ji said happily.

"Okay!" Lin Cunde nodded with a smile, then looked at Wang Zhi and Zhu Ji and said, "I called you here. It's an uncle of mine. He was just kidnapped by the Jinyi Guards. He said he had dealings with the father-in-law in the palace. What is it specifically? I don’t know about the comings and goings, so I ask you to ask about it!”

"Having any dealings with the father-in-law? My people caught him!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ji looked at Lin Cunde in surprise and said.

"Ah?" Lin Cunde was also very surprised when he heard this.
Xiao was also surprised. The young man actually said that his people caught him. Now that he is sitting here with Lin Cunde, it means there is hope.

"The raids on my father-in-law's mansion were all done by people from my office. What's the name of your clan uncle?" Zhu Ji asked Lin Cunde's clan uncle's name.

"Lin Yunqi, a small official from the Ministry of Household Affairs!" Lin Cunde said immediately.

Zhu Ji stood up again and said to Lin Cunde: "Wait a moment, I will ask someone to bring it over and call the person in charge. How big is the matter? If it is not a big deal, just put it back!"

Lin Cunde also stood up, cupped his hands towards Zhu Ji and said, "Thank you very much!"

Zhu Ji waved his hand and went out. After a while, Zhu Ji came in and said to Lin Cunde: "I ordered you to go down. It is estimated that your clan uncle will come over in two quarters of time at most. I don't think it will be a big deal, although it is involved. Things in the palace, but with you here, how big can they be? Tomorrow morning, I will talk to the Queen! Now the Queen directly orders me to arrest people, even for small things!"

"Thank you very much!" Lin Cunde said again.

Zhu Ji quickly shook his head and said, "Don't be polite to me. I want to thank you and secretly tell you that His Majesty is planning to promote me to the position of commanding officer!"

"Ah, congratulations!" Lin Cunde heard that Zhu Ji was going to be promoted to the commanding officer. It was a leapfrog promotion. Qianhu was the fifth rank, and the commanding officer was the fourth rank. There was also a fourth-rank town official in the middle. Envoy.

"Thanks to you, it was Brother Cunde who recommended me in front of His Majesty, and that's why His Majesty remembered me. I also told Xiaozhi in the afternoon that I hope to treat you to a meal, but now it's not convenient for you to stay at home as a filial piety, so I just We can wait until later!" Zhu Ji said with a smile and returned Lin Cunde's hand.

"No, that's all on your own!" Lin Cunde said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"Okay, you guys sit down and talk. There is no need to thank each other back and forth. We are all our own people!" Wang Zhi interrupted the two of them with a smile.

The two of them also looked at each other and smiled, Zhu Ji said: "Xiao Zhi is right, they are all our own!"

"Sit down, drink tea!" Lin Cunde smiled and made an invitation gesture to Zhu Ji, then continued to make tea and chat with them while drinking tea.

Ms. Xiao was very excited, but he was a womanizer. Seeing how easily Lin Cunde caught his direct supervisor, Ms. Xiao knew that her husband probably didn't have much of a problem.

Lin Cunde and Zhu Ji chatted about some things in the capital, mainly about rebuilding the third camp of the capital. Lin Cunde didn't know much about it, and they occasionally talked about it, but Zhu Ji never dared to ignore Lin Cunde's words. He knew in his heart , Lin Cunde's status among His Majesty and the Queen is very high.

Sure enough, in almost two-quarters of an hour, Lin Yunqi was brought back with no injuries on his body, and he was accompanied by a member of the Baihu family, whom Lin Cunde met for the first time.

"Cunde?" Lin Yunqi was taken to the study and was very surprised. He did not expect that he just wanted his wife to come over to find Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde would go to Wang Ying by then. It would probably take until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest to get any news, and he Tonight, I will probably be very sad, and I will definitely be sentenced to death.

"Uncle, come, this is Brother Shangde, Qianhu Zhu Ji from Jinyiweizhong. But he will be promoted to the commanding officer soon! Brother Shangde, this is my uncle. My father and mother will be responsible for everything after their death." Clan uncle, please help, otherwise, I will be blind and understand nothing!" Lin Cunde stood up and introduced the two of them to each other.

"I've met Mr. Zhu!" Although Lin Yunqi was very surprised and didn't know how Lin Cunde knew Zhu Ji, but when he saw Wang Zhi here, he thought that Wang Zhi might have brought him here.

"Uncle, you're welcome. Cunde and I treat each other as brothers. Since you are brother Cunde's uncle, you are my uncle. If I can help you with anything in the future, don't be polite!" Zhu Ji smiled. He stood up, raised his hands to Lin Yunqi and said.

"Don't dare. Cunde is lucky to have a brother like you. I hope to support Cunde more in the future!" Lin Yunqi still said with his hand.

"Uncle, I don't dare to say that, but now let me ask you why you went to Jinyiwei!" Zhu Ji said with a smile, and then looked at the Baihu next to him.

Baihu immediately raised his hands and said, "Sir, today we interrogated the imperial eunuchs, and one of the eunuchs revealed that he accepted 50 taels of cash from Lord Lin. According to the law, we need to take him back for questioning. If it is true, according to Ming law, You may have to go to jail!”

When Zhu Ji heard this, he looked at Lin Yunqi. Lin Yunqi was also smart and knew not to admit it. If he did, he would be embarrassed. He quickly said: "Master Zhu, you are wronged. It's not that the subordinate bribed him, but that he demanded money from the subordinate. There was a daughter in an official's family. Two years ago, when she was in her eighth year, the father-in-law came to blackmail her, saying that she was attracted by Wang Zhen and hoped to take her as his concubine. The lower official dared to agree, but Wang Zhen was no more than an eunuch. How can you let your daughter fall into the pit of fire?
I had no choice but to give the father-in-law 50 taels of silver, hoping that he would say a few nice words in front of Wang Zhen. I estimated at first that Wang Zhen didn’t even know that I had a daughter, and it was the father-in-law who deliberately blackmailed her. Official, I knew I was being blackmailed, but I had no choice but to do anything about it. Mr. Zhu, you also know the previous situation, and we all swallowed it up!I hope Mr. Zhu will notice clearly! "You are very courageous. Go back and interrogate me strictly. Not only did you frame someone, but you dared to blackmail him. Go back and deal with him!" "Zhu Ji said to the hundred households.

"Yes!" Baihu immediately said with his hands in hand.

"Okay, you go back first and tell the brothers that you have worked hard!" Zhu Ji said to Baihu, who immediately handed over and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Cunde immediately called to the hundred households, and then shouted to Lin Cunyi who was standing in the distance: "Second brother, go to the Wangnan Building outside the alley to book a private room, and take this brother with you Let’s go have a meal with the brothers below. It’s already meal time. We can’t let our brothers go back hungry. Go quickly!”

"Okay!" Lin Cunyi nodded immediately.

"Well, Mr. Lin, it's not necessary, right?" The hundred households looked at Lin Cunde with a smile on his face and said, Zhu Ji said from the side: "That's it, Cunde will stay at home as a filial piety, otherwise, Cunde will definitely accompany him You go, you go there to eat and drink well, it’s a cold day, so warm up!”

"Yes, thank you very much, Mr. Lin!" Baihu said with a smile and cupped his hands at Lin Cunde.

"It's me who wants to thank you so much for letting you take a trip during the freezing weather to drink some wine and get rid of the cold!" Lin Cunde said with a smile and cupped his hands.

Baihu nodded and quickly went out.

"Uncle, come, drink tea!" Lin Cunde greeted Lin Yunqi to sit down.

Lin Yunqi was also full of questions at this moment, but it was difficult to ask, so he could only sit down while Lin Cunde poured tea for Lin Yunqi.

At this time, Grandpa Yang came over and said to Lin Cunde: "Master, the food is ready!"

"Okay, Brother Shang De, please move!" Lin Cunde stood up with a smile and said.

"No, I won't eat anymore. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaozhi, we still have something to do. They are still waiting for us in the restaurant. Besides, you can't drink alcohol at your house. Next time, if you have a chance to drink, Can you treat me to a big meal?" Zhu Ji also stood up and explained with a smile to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde immediately looked at Wang Zhi.

"Really, brother-in-law, we still have something to do. We were all in the restaurant. When we heard that there was something going on at home, the two of us left them and came to your place. If we didn't go, they wouldn't dare to have a dinner!" Wang Tomoya smiled and stood up.

Lin Cunde also looked at the two of them with a troubled expression: "You guys, it's dinner time, and if you don't eat, it's rude of me!"

"Brother Cunde, what are the etiquettes and rudeness? We still need this. This matter has been settled. If there is a chance another day, Xiaozhi and I will come to your place to ask for advice. That's it for today. Let's go there first?" Zhu Ji smiled and waved to Lin Cunde and said, feeling very happy about Lin Cunde's attitude. He also wanted to have a good relationship with Lin Cunde. After all, not many people knew about the relationship between the emperor and Lin Cunde.

Now that you know it, you should get closer to the water and get the moon first.

"Okay, then I won't bother you. It's true that I can't drink and I can't let you have fun!" Lin Cunde nodded helplessly and said. He stayed at home to observe his filial piety, but he didn't dare to drink at home.

Soon, Lin Cunde and Lin Yunqi escorted them to the gate. They saw them get on their horses and go away before they returned to the house.

"Cunde!"

"Let's not talk about it yet. Let's eat first. After dinner, go back to the study and talk!" Lin Cunde stretched out his hand to stop Lin Yunqi from speaking.

"Okay!" Lin Yunqi nodded.

When Lin Yunqi returned to the house, Mrs. Xiao also held Lin Yunqi and cried bitterly, saying that it was all because of Cunde, otherwise Lin Yunqi would definitely not be able to come out. Lin Yunqi comforted her, and after Mrs. Xiao's mood stabilized, Lin Cunde took them to the dining room. , after dinner.

Lin Cunde took Lin Yunqi to the study room, and Mrs. Xiao followed Mrs. Ye to the back to look after the children.

"This is strange!" Lin Cunde sat down and touched his temples.

"Huh?" Lin Yunqi looked at Lin Cunde in confusion. What was wrong with this? He had indeed bribed the eunuch, and it was indeed 50 taels, but it was not for his daughter's affairs, but for his own affairs. When he was implicated, Wang Zhen wanted to deal with someone, but he didn't want to be implicated, so he gave money to the eunuch.
