Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 325 Audit
Xia Lin now really wants to put Lao Zhang into a large vat and soak him in stinky tofu water for half a year, and pickle him into stinky meat.

Surprise, haha, what a surprise.

However, Xia Lin did not go to find the little princess first but went straight to Tang Baoer's house. As he expected, Tang Baoer was not there. The personal maid was sitting there and admiring herself with her cosmetics. She was caught by Xia Lin and was so scared that she painted herself into Sister Pomegranate.

"Where's my sugar baby?"

"I don't know, sir. At 10 o'clock this afternoon, the prince came and took the young lady away."

After finishing a few eggs, Xia Lin ran away. He had heard many stories that these royal relatives were very vicious. Who knew what the originally innocent little princess had learned in the capital these days? She might force Tingyun Xiaoyue to hang herself when she got there.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, you are truly a top-notch talent in the world, you are really awesome."

"You are a very suspicious person."

Sitting in the carriage, Lao Zhang laughed at Xia Lin's panic: "Do you really think that the woman you watched grow up would force your little lover to death?"

"She won't, but Tang Bao'er can't say for sure. Besides, you know what kind of shitty atmosphere there is in the capital. It's easy to learn good things, but it's easy to learn bad things, not to mention the royal family. They don't treat people as human beings."

"Don't worry, don't worry. I don't think she would be like that. After all, I watched her grow up."

Let's not waste any more time. Xia Lin was really anxious at the moment. He took Lao Zhang and rolled to where Tingyun lived. He walked hurriedly with his heart pounding. In his mind, there was already a scene of two corpses lying in the middle of the room, and two elegant young women standing next to them, looking at the corpses with cold faces and smiling at each other.

He rushed into the house quickly, and saw the little princess chewing with a bowl in her hand. There was a sieve next to her, and Tang Bao was sifting sesame powder. Xiao Yue was pounding sesame seeds with a garlic pestle like a jade rabbit, and Ting Yun was adding sugar, oil, and powder to a large basin, and then made a kind of oily and sweet sesame paste. Then the little princess's maid Qiu He was making balls with glutinous rice, and she would wrap a spoonful of sesame paste in each ball.

Narcissus put the wrapped dumplings on a winnowing basket while Chuntao kept cooking them beside her. Dong Niang stood beside the stove with her neck stretched out, watching Chuntao cooking.

"Oh, it's all here." Lao Zhang whispered behind Xia Lin, "It's a grand slam tonight, Master Xia."

"Shut up."

"Eh? Why are you just eating here?" Xia Lin finally felt relieved and walked up to the little princess and asked, "Everyone is working."

The little princess stuffed at least three rice cakes in her mouth. She had no time to talk. She just kept chewing and chewing. When she swallowed, she choked and rolled her eyes because the glutinous rice was very sticky.

"Slow down... No one is grabbing it."

"It's all his fault!" The little princess pointed at Lao Zhang, "She told me to give you a surprise and asked me to wait at the corner of the street. I waited for more than an hour and was cold and hungry, so I had no choice but to go find Sister Tang. Sister Tang asked Qiuhe to call Chuntao and Shuixian, and the two sisters happened to be there, so we had dinner together."

Xia Lin walked up to her, rubbed her face and said distressedly, "How about we kill all nine of his clans after the New Year?"

"Forget it then." The little princess glared at Lao Zhang and said, "Tell my father to send him to be a eunuch."

Old Zhang put his hands on his hips and sneered, "Okay, okay, you guys are plotting against me like this. Wait, after the New Year I will hang myself at the palace gate, with a big word 'injustice' written on my body in blood."

Tang Bao'er's eyes were clear at this moment, and she glanced at Xia Lin sideways: "I wonder what Master Xia wants to catch by coming here in such a hurry? Is he here to catch this wild man outside, or is he here to protect someone?"

"I'm here to grab a fart." Xia Lin went up and grabbed Tang Baoer: "Are you satisfied?"

Tang Baoer felt pain and turned around to see that everyone was looking at her, especially Lao Zhang who was still there. She slapped Xia Lin back, leaving a white handprint on his chest: "Sir, please respect yourself."

At this moment, Xia Lin strolled over to Chun Tao and glanced at Dong Niang who was staring at the pot: "Why is she here too?"

"Because I know her." The little princess laughed. "She starved with me on the road and asked me if I wanted to stab you with a knife."

"Oh." Xia Lin walked to Dong Niang's side and said, "You're going to stab me with a knife, right?"

"Yes." Dong Niang took out a scroll from her waist. When she opened it, there was a whole set of shining scalpels inside. They were extremely sharp and could kill instantly with one blow.

"Good!" Xia Lin applauded: "This is really a good trend."

"Is there someone missing?" Tang Bao'er started to make a noise again: "It's a bit weird that there's only one princess here. I heard that Master Xia has another princess, but I don't know where she is hidden in a golden house."

"Who is it?" The little princess leaned over and asked in confusion, "There is another princess? Which sister of mine is it?"

"Ask him."

Seeing the little princess's eyes glancing over, Xia Lin spread out her hands: "Grand Princess Pingyang."

"Ah!?" The little princess was stunned for a long time: "She...she is so fierce, how can you even..."

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Xia Lin turned around and said to Tang Baoer, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "No, those of you who know the situation should not team up to fool those who don't know the situation."

The little princess scratched her head, but after thinking about it, she found that she couldn't figure it out, so she lowered her head and stuffed a glutinous rice ball into her mouth and started a new round of chewing.

"She can't come. She had a miscarriage a few days ago and now needs to stay in bed."

Dong Niang's words broke Xia Lin's defense. He turned around and pointed at Dong Niang: "Hey, hey, hey! How come you, who are so serious, are talking about sports cars now?"

"who?"

"She had a miscarriage!?"

Eighty percent of the people in the room are women, so gossip is natural, not to mention that what comes out of Dong Niang's mouth, who is always serious and honest, is even more shocking.

Even Old Zhang, who was going to write a story about an unjust case and hang himself in the palace as soon as spring came, pricked up his ears and listened.

Dong Niang didn't say anything, but as she was holding the glutinous rice balls, her eyes drifted to Xia Lin. In an instant, all eyes in the room were on Xia Lin. There was no way to explain this. Dong Niang's revenge was too brutal. She created an image of a cold and aloof person who never told lies, but it turned out that she could be so reserved in her bones.

"Oh." Xia Lin sat down: "Don't look at me like that, this really has nothing to do with me. Dong Niang is talking nonsense, the princess of the Li family is bedridden because she asked for death." Xia Lin told everyone the whole story, and everyone in the room burst into laughter. They didn't expect that the valiant female general would do such a stupid thing. It seems that there is no one in the world who is not willing to do stupid things.

However, today Xia Linmingxue could feel that Chunqiu, Yunyuexian and the other five had restrained themselves a lot. Although the little princess looked dazed, her aura really suppressed everyone else here.

Class, after all, is still class. The only one who was not affected was Dong Niang, but from what happened today, it seems that Dong Niang is not a good person, she is mean and evil.

But to be honest, Xia Lin was under tremendous pressure in this situation. He used the balancing technique, which he rarely used in normal times, to the fullest extent. He was not as tired as he was today when dealing with the civil service group.

Emotions, mainly emotions. If one of them can't be protected now, then it's all over. Needless to say, Dong Niang will definitely bite him to death for revenge.

The key is that it is extremely difficult to treat them equally, and the key is that it cannot be completely equal. Some extra preference needs to be given to the little princess, and this preference must not make Tang Baoer feel obviously uncomfortable.

Oh, after that night, he looked haggard when he went back home, and Lao Zhang just smiled when he stood next to him.

"You fucking thing, you did it on purpose. If you have the ability, go and scheme against others. Why do you think you can scheme against me?"

Old Zhang said, "You should be conscientious in what you say and do. I just forgot the princess on the side of the road. I said I would hang myself at the foot of the imperial city after the spring. What else do you want from me?"

Xia Lin was so angry that she didn't say anything, but Lao Zhang continued, "In fact, I saved you. They played together, and you prayed for safety."

"Oh? I have to thank you, BYD?"

"If I weren't there, you can ask yourself how many customers you can receive today. With your skinny body, it's a big question whether you can survive tonight." He began to count on his fingers: "One princess, one Miss Tang, one Narcissus, one Chuntao, that's four, and Qiuhe counts as one, and your two little courtesans. The seven fairies, why did Monkey King freeze the seven fairies just for the peaches? It's because even a stone monkey can't stand seven of them."

"I've ground the iron pestle into an embroidery needle for you. Tomorrow morning, you little jerk can use it to sew clothes."

"That's not the case."

"Okay, you're awesome, go back now, take off your clothes and yell to them, 'I'll fight you to the death today.'"

Old Zhang was really unyielding when he spoke. Xia Lin pursed his lips and said, "I won't argue with a jerk like you."

"Why are you still arguing? God knows, the earth knows, you know, and I know. You are just too embarrassed to tell others. You are hot-tempered when you are young. Look at your young master, he is still carefree. You must not hug a pretty girl when you see her. You must think twice before you act. What did I teach you back then? Now you are in a difficult situation. In a few days, when you become a thirty-year-old man, I wonder if you can still be arrogant and dissolute."

Xia Lin turned around and glared at Lao Zhang: "How can I be the same as a bastard like you? What I did is legal and within the rules. Look at yourself, are you a disciple or a wife? You are disregarding human ethics."

"Hey!" Old Zhang patted his chest and said, "This is my ability. Officials in the capital are unwilling to associate with me because I am ruthless in my work, and the upright officials are unwilling to associate with me because I disregard human ethics. Whether they are corrupt officials or upright officials, I stand in the middle. It's not that I don't want to play with them, but they don't want to play with me. As for whether she is a disciple or a wife, it doesn't matter at this moment. She is a disciple and a wife, so what?"

"You two really?"

"not yet."

Xia Lin pondered over these two words for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "Oh! Lao Zhang, you!"

"Alas, we are all well-dressed people, so it's better to say only a little bit. If you say it bluntly, it will lose its flavor. Let me ask you, if you are my colleague in the capital, what difference does it make whether Ning'er is my wife or my disciple? If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. I always have to leave some points for them to attack me. Besides, doesn't Ning'er understand in her heart? From the moment she followed me to the capital, she actually didn't care about these things. After all, the disciple will become the wife, and the wife is also a disciple. I can't put her in between others, right? I and My disciple is promiscuous, that is personal morality. I gave my wife to someone else, that is moral character. Personal morality is nothing but romantic, unmarried men and women are willing to do things, everyone laughs when talking about it, but it is still a good thing to treat each other with respect. But if it is moral character, I will be ridiculed for a thousand years. Don't forget, you are not the only one who can make up stories about others, there are many people who can make up stories about others. "Old Zhang shook his fan and said something he would never say to others: "Now I ask you again, what is the difference between this disciple and this wife?"

"You are so sinister, you idiot."

"Do you remember what you and I said when we came out of Luoyang and lay on the ox cart?" Old Zhang put a hand on Xia Lin's shoulder: "Several plots, all for the oath of youth."

"What oath? Why don't I remember it?"

Old Zhang curled his lips and said, "Of course, I want to eat the best swill in the world."

“Hahahaha, fuck…”

Xia Lin laughed, and Lao Zhang laughed too. Then Lao Zhang said, "Now you are a high-ranking official, and I have to make a name for myself. To be honest, given the current situation, no matter which prince takes the throne in the future, I am 80% sure that I will be the most powerful official."

"and then?"

"Then?" Old Zhang glanced at Xia Lin and said, "What do you think? I think you still remember those powerful opinions on the ox cart."

"I will report this to the imperial court and have your entire clan executed."

"All right, all right, kill me. I'm going to be hanged at the foot of the imperial city in the spring. My nine clans will start with you."

"You dirty thing."

"Same here, how can you be so clean? In a few years, all six ministries of the Heavenly Palace will be eaten away by you. By then, the new emperor will be annoyed at best when he looks at me, but he will be troubled by you."

Xia Lin put his hands behind his back and smacked his lips: "Can you control the situation in Beijing?"

"Without any soldiers, I still feel unsure. Xu Jingzong told me a few days ago that we should find a way to get some people from Fuliang. I know exactly what he meant, but he is actually a little hesitant. After all, if this matter is discovered, the Nine Clans will really have to start with you."

Xia Lin nodded: "Don't panic, I will arrange this. The only request to you is to protect yourself and sink first."

"You are a traitor, Xia Lin. You are a traitor to the country."

"No, no, no." Xia Lin shook his head vigorously: "Support the collapsing building and turn the tide. My goal is to ensure that everyone has food to eat, every family has an education, the young have something to do, and the elderly have someone to rely on. I have no interest in this ruined dynasty, you should know that."

"I'm actually quite interested. I've never been an emperor, so I want to be one for a few days for fun." Lao Zhang licked his lips and said, "When I become emperor, I'll follow the ancients and ask you to write a poem in seven steps. If you can't write it, your whole family will be executed. Hey, do you think Cao Pi wants to kill Cao Zhi?"

"If Cao Pi really wants to kill Cao Zhi, he has to make Cao Zhi kill Xu Chu within seven moves." Xia Lin sneered, "Asking someone who wrote Luoshen Fu to compose a poem in seven steps is like asking you, Zhang Zhongchun, to memorize the first 18 words of the Three Character Classic within three hours, right?"
