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

Chapter 375 Brother Jing's Dissatisfaction
The next day, Xia Lin wanted to come for dinner and gather some information, but when he came again, he found that the huge gatehouse was closed. The door was locked but the lights were on inside.

"Sir, I will go and knock on the door."

"No need."

Xia Lin grabbed Luo Shixin, who was about to step forward, and said, "The door is locked but there is a lot of noise inside. This means that today's guest does not want to be disturbed. I'm afraid he is of high status."

"Then there can be a noble lord? I would like to meet him."

Xia Lin lowered his eyelids and sneered: "It seems that the planned plot has happened. Come on, I'll take you to eat."

"Okay... But I think the food here is pretty good."

"I read a book before. The protagonist in the book is called Song Beiyun. He talked about why the food in brothels is so delicious."

"Why? Sir, please tell me about it. I am a rough man, and I am waiting for you to explain my doubts so that I can go back and give a lecture to my brothers."

Xia Lin laughed, put one hand behind his back and started walking towards another road: "It is said that Rouge Lane is a den of money, but you know that if there are only beautiful women, people won't spend so much money. Food and wine are also part of it. Luo, have you ever been to a brothel?"

"I..." Luo Shixin touched his head in embarrassment: "To be honest, I am already twenty years old... and still a virgin. Forget about brothels, I have never even been to a street prostitute. I was poor before... and I became even poorer later."

"It's not a good idea for you to go on like this. When we get back to Fuliang, I'll pick a wife for you."

"Seriously, sir?"

"Damn it, when have I ever lied to anyone?"

Luo Shixin wanted to fly up and give Xia Lin a big kiss, but Xia Lin didn't care too much and just continued, "If you have been to a brothel, you will know that those prostitutes will not let you go all out right away, but you have to go step by step. In the wine shop outside, a pot of wine costs ten cents, but here a pot of wine costs two taels of silver. But you can't fool people with two taels of silver. Some picky customers will overturn the table. So the wine in the brothel must be the best. If the wine is good, the dishes must not be bad. When you are well fed and warm, you will have lustful thoughts, and the consumption will increase layer by layer. Sometimes, when you pay the bill, you may find that the cost of your food and drink is more than the money you paid for the prostitutes."

"You are amazing, sir. You can tell from the first glance that you are an old hand."

"What's the old thing? It's the same old routine for years." Xia Lin sighed, "The food in brothels in most places is better than in restaurants, except that it's expensive. Our food is reimbursed by the royal family, so we don't feel bad."

While they were going somewhere else to eat, Jinlian was performing her extremely enchanting dance in front of the prince.

The prince has been in a very bad mood these days because his father wants to destroy Buddhism, and Xia Lin has decided to start with the Da Baoen Temple. However, the Da Baoen Temple is one of his properties. If he were in power, it would be fine and the matter would be settled with one order. However, now that his father is still alive, if his orders conflict with his father's, it goes without saying who Xia Lin will listen to.

But he didn't dare to inform the secret, because Xia Lin had blocked all channels. No one knew about this except them. Even the civil and military officials in the court who had a very good relationship with Xia Lin didn't know about it. Once the news was leaked, if they traced it back to the source, it couldn't be that Emperor Hongbao leaked it, right?

This led to the prince being extremely depressed. As luck would have it, the abbot of Baoen Temple noticed that he was in a bad mood when he was worshiping Buddha these days, so he finally sent the prince here to have some fun and relax.

Jinlian's gentleness really made him feel better. After a few glasses of wine, the prince began to complain. Jinlian should not have listened to it, but she wanted to break free from the clutches of the lecherous monk so badly that she even started to persuade the prince.

"Your Highness, don't be upset if I tell you this. Since the old emperor has this plan in mind, it must be good for you. Where in the world have you ever heard of a father harming his son?"

Of course she said this against her will, as she was sent here by her biological father to pay off a debt. But at this moment she couldn't just say "How can there be a prince for thirty years in this world?" She had to make people feel at ease.

Although the prince was inexperienced, he was actually quite simple-minded. He was really moved by the talk, so he asked, "What should I do about this?"

"Your Highness, I think it's best if you don't know. The order was given by the old emperor, and the matter was done by his ministers. What does it have to do with your Highness? Besides, I checked Bao'en Temple and found that it is still there. We can just replace it with someone else as the abbot."

Her words seemed to be comforting the prince, but every word was pushing that bald donkey to death. If she had persuaded the prince to protect that bald donkey at this moment, the prince might have really gone to look for Xia Daosheng overnight.

In principle, the bald donkey is doomed to die, but isn't the prince a principle? Xia Daosheng would not go against the prince for such a thing. After all, he wanted to build the Da Baoen Temple not for the sake of building the Baoen Temple but to give all officials a shot of prevention. It only takes a word to decide who will live and who will die.

But after being persuaded by Jinlian, the prince really thought about giving up that bald man. He even felt that what she said made sense and was in a good mood.

He was in a good mood, had drunk a little wine, and with Jinlian's enchanting charm, the candlelight flickering in the room, and the atmosphere ambiguous, what was supposed to happen naturally happened.

Jinlian knew very well in her heart that whether she could escape from this muddy and filthy place depended entirely on this time, so she put all the training skills of these days into the prince.

As for the Crown Prince, everyone knows it. The Crown Princess is the daughter of an important official in Huayin. She is average looking, has an average figure, and is average at her job. Apart from her impressive family background, she has no other good qualities. How can she be compared with this beautiful flower blooming in the dusty land?
After a night of romance, the prince was almost completely lost. He lay in the large quilt woven with mandarin ducks, feeling unprecedented relaxation and comfort. He no longer felt the pressure and struggle of the past few days. He just felt that the person next to him was a secret treasure. But when he thought of her identity, the prince was troubled again.

So this old man thought of a trick...

"Hmm? What did he ask me to do?"

When Xia Lin heard the message from the chief eunuch of the Eastern Palace that the prince wanted to see him, question marks popped up in his mind. This was not a good time for the two of them to meet.

But there was no way out. The general manager specifically asked to see him, so he had to go. However, Xia Lin did not rush over like those others when he heard the summons. Instead, he waited until night and quietly came to the prince's residence.

The prince was very enthusiastic when he saw Xia Lin, and Xia Lin was also quite respectful. After all, without this prince, he wouldn't be where he is today. If you trace the source, he should thank him for his appreciation. The prince was still shy. He sat there and chatted with Xia Lin for half the night, almost falling asleep. Finally, when the night watchman outside had already announced the third watch, the prince stammered and spoke...

"Daosheng."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"I have something I want you to do for me."

Ask? Something was wrong. If he had to use this word, then it must be a big deal. Xia Lin's first reaction was that BYD was trying to usurp the throne. Why was he so anxious? How many years would his father have left? Was he so impatient?
However, when Xia Lin was feeling anxious, the prince still spoke: "I... I have a confidante outside the palace."

Upon hearing this, Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that if someone usurped the throne, he would still look up to him, but who knew that this gentleman would actually speak of him as a confidante.

But now that it had come to this, Xia Lin had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. It turned out that the main thread of the original plot was still there. The gears of fate had moved, but not completely...

"Confidante, Your Highness... Is she a chicken?"

"This... this... you can't say that, Daosheng. Her family has fallen on hard times, her father is a gambler, her mother is sick, and she has a younger brother to take care of. She has no choice."

OK! This technique of speaking, it turns out that it has a heritage.

"Alright, Your Highness. How can I make things difficult for Your Highness? I will do this for Your Highness." Xia Lin smiled helplessly: "But Your Highness, please listen to my advice. It is better to avoid such people."

"She's different from other prostitutes, really."

Ah, ah, ah...what's the difference? What else could be different? But Xia Lin couldn't say it directly, he could only nod his head.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will take care of this matter for Your Highness."

"Daosheng, the reason I'm telling you this is because I really don't have many people I can trust. In the past and in the present, you're the only one who's been through thick and thin with me."

Don't talk so nicely. If others don't understand you, don't I understand you? You bastard, when you are bewitched by a woman, you dare to kill your own father. I am nothing but a nobody in your eyes.

"I will never forget your kindness. I will take my leave now."

"Go."

Xia Lin walked out of the East Palace, turned around and looked at the magnificent palace. Suddenly, he sighed without warning, feeling only sorry for Emperor Hongbao.

The building will eventually collapse, and no one can stop it.

As for why he didn't persuade, the question is how could he persuade? The obsessed young man in his twenties, who inherited the simple mind of the Tuoba family and had a bit of stubbornness that he hadn't used up in his youth, would be a miracle if he would listen to persuasion.

Since he wants to do this, then let him do it.

The next morning, Xia Lin directly asked Luo Shixin to "invite" Jinlian to his presence. Jinlian was also stunned when she saw him. Looking at the surrounding environment and the soldiers equipped with swords, she felt extremely panicked.

"Hawkins, right?"

"Your Excellency...it is me."

"Yes." Xia Lin nodded: "I said we would meet again. Today I am here to send you off on your journey at the request of an old friend."

Jinlian's eyes widened: "Sir... I don't know anything... Please spare my life, sir."

"You don't need to know." Xia Lin waved his hand: "That's all."

That afternoon, rumors began to circulate in the market that Huo Jinlian, the newly-risen famous prostitute in Beijing, had been murdered in her house. Her death was extremely tragic and it was suspected to be a murder for money.

At the same time, Huo Wenting, the daughter of a juren who had fallen on hard times from Xuzhou, was brought to the Eastern Palace trembling with fear. After a physical examination, she became a maid in the Eastern Palace.

"When you are in the East Palace, you should not say what you shouldn't say, you should not listen to what you shouldn't listen to, and you should not look at what you shouldn't look at. Do you understand?"

Xia Lin stood at the door with his hands behind his back, wearing the clothes of a great eunuch, with a gloomy face: "Once you step through this door, life and death are no longer under your control."

"Thank you very much, sir. Your kindness...I will never forget it."

"No need to say more." Xia Lin turned and walked out: "Take care of yourself."
