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

Chapter 570 Return
If there is anything better than being an exceptional worker, it is being an exceptional worker everywhere.

Apart from anything else, Xia Lin is clearly a top player when it comes to being an agent, and all other jobs are just part-time.

The Queen has been rescued, and let the Queen herself tell the story of what has happened from last night until now.

In fact, Xia Lin doesn't like this step, but if this step is missing, the traces of the conspiracy will be too obvious, so she can only reluctantly make things difficult for the Queen, the abandoned pawn. Doesn't she like stealing? Then let her have enough fun.

As for whose blood the Luo Shixin had on his body came from, it was naturally from a pig. How could it be possible that the truth would be revealed when the scene had been rehearsed so many times?

Amid the Queen's cries, Li Mi's originally meticulous observation skills were now useless, and the water was completely muddied.

"Grand Commander, Duke Anguo. I don't have enough time to wait. Now is not a good time to cry."

Xia Lin gave a reminder at the door, and soon Li Mi came out. His face was full of sorrow, his eyes were as red as an angry leopard, and the bones in his hands were white from being pinched.

"Thank you, General."

"Don't thank me, I'm just doing my job. You, the Grand Commander, will have to deal with the rest yourself. Just now you asked me how to have the best of both worlds, so I can only say..." Xia Lin glanced at the room, "The Queen has been murdered by criminals, and only the Queen's maid Yingchun was saved at the scene. Grand Commander Li felt sorry for the maid, so he took her in. What do you think of this, Grand Commander?"

"Can……"

"No more." Xia Lin waved his hand: "Grand Commander, please don't harm me and deceive the emperor. As for you and I, we are on the same boat. But I don't want anything from the Grand Commander. Please give me five hundred taels of silver."

Li Mi actually laughed at this moment. He didn't say much, but just bowed to Xia Lin and said, "Thank you, General Xia. If the matter is exposed, I will take the responsibility alone."

Xia Lin smiled at this moment, and came forward and whispered: "As for who is behind this, the Grand Admiral can only investigate it himself. If this matter is exposed, I am afraid that the Grand Admiral and his family will suffer the consequences."

When Li Mi heard this, he was so angry that he could hardly suppress it. After all, he was one of the Eight Pillars of the State, but now he was being plotted against. If he could swallow this, then what would he do in the future?

"Thank you for your reminder, General. It just so happens that I have an imperial decree with me and will leave the capital and return to Zhuozhou immediately. If there is a chance, I will pay you a visit."

Xia Lin just smiled with his hands behind his back without saying anything. At this time, Duke Anguo came out with the Queen wrapped in a blanket. Xia Lin was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to stop them: "Duke Anguo, are you trying to kill yourself?"

"How can you talk like that!" The Duke of Anguo shouted, "What a disrespectful person!"

"Look at me, look at me, you are showing off your power again." Xia Lin stretched out his hand and said, "I will fine you eight hundred taels."

At this time, Li Mi had already handed over the banknote. Xia Lin took it and said to Duke Anguo, "It would be great if you could take the queen out now, Duke Anguo."

While Xia Lin was speaking, he glanced at the Queen a few times. He had to admit that she was really good-looking. She was exactly like the 30-year-old version of Tanaka Yuko. She looked pretty good. No wonder a hero like Li Mi was so obsessed with her.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Can we wait here till dark?"

After Xia Lin finished speaking, he bowed to them and left. When he passed the gatehouse, his trusted guard happened to be standing next to him. The two of them only needed to exchange glances, and they could understand each other clearly without words.

In the following days, the news of the queen's disappearance officially began to ferment, but in fact, Queen Wan'er had already changed her appearance and went to Zhuozhou with Li Mi.

On the sixth day after this incident, the "Empress" died of a sudden illness in the palace. This reason was very reasonable, and the emperor also hurried back from his patrol, so it seemed that everything was perfect.

Therefore, the news of the queen's disappearance was self-defeating. The day of the funeral was quite grand, with half the city covered in white silk, which did not disappoint the queen's ceremonial procession.

"Not dead? Why don't you kill her?"

After Emperor Jingtai returned to Beijing, he was particularly curious about Xia Lin's actions: "No, no, no, no, you didn't care that she wasn't killed, and you asked Li Mi to take her away?"

"Yes." Xia Lin did not hide anything, but took a large piece of meat out of the pot: "Let him take it away."

"Damn it, where is my knife?" Emperor Jingtai began to look for it everywhere: "I will chop you, the traitor, to death."

"What are you cutting? Don't you think I did a great job?" Xia Lin glanced at Emperor Jingtai. "Not only did I help you solve your biggest problem, but I also made Li Mi willingly go back to Zhuozhou and made him hate Yang Ying to the core. I killed three birds with one stone."

"What if she pops up again one day?"

"She's crazy, right? If she can come out, I can accuse Li Mi of deceiving the emperor and plotting rebellion." Xia Lin patted his head: "The initiative is in my hands now. He didn't leave any evidence, but I can." "How did you leave any evidence?"

Xia Lin grinned and pondered for a moment: "The crossbow that shot the Queen's guards was the standard crossbow of the Zhuozhou Taiping Army."

Emperor Jingtai was stunned: "Where did you get it?"

"Shit..." Xia Lin cursed inwardly, "The crossbows for Zhuozhou were ordered from Fuliang!"

"You sinister man..." Emperor Jingtai shuddered, "Doesn't that mean Li Mi is under your control?"

"I don't want to control him, I want him to control Yang Ying and his gang. The country is in chaos right now, with warlords everywhere. Don't you know what Li Mi is capable of? If he really lets him gather troops in Zhuozhou, you won't be able to deal with him. The more he and Yang Ying don't get along, the more he has to listen to you. He's a big warlord." Xia Lin picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "Do you still think that this queen is not worth it?"

"It's worth it, but I'm still a little unhappy."

"No, you are sick, right? You are the one who wants to be beaten and killed, and you are also the one who is unhappy. What do you want? Don't come to me next time if you haven't made up your mind. Seeing how you are dithering, I should have helped the second prince to take the throne. At least he seems more decisive."

"You little bastard!" Emperor Jingtai pointed at Xia Lin and stared at him for a long time without saying anything. After a long while, he finally said, "Where is my sword? I will kill you with one blow."

"Come on, come on. Don't call me next time if you need to do something like this. I'm anxious to leave my name in history." Xia Lin took a big sip of wine. "I don't think it will be possible for Li Mi to leave the court for a while. I'm fine now, right? I'll leave Beijing in a few days."

"Are you in such a hurry? What good will it do to stay a few more days?"

"Why should I stay here? To be honest, you won't feel at ease as long as I stay here. Don't deny it. It's human nature. What I hold in my hands is what you fear the most. But the key is that you can't kill me now. If you kill me, the world will be in chaos." Xia Lin sighed, "It's like a thorn in your throat when I'm here. It's better for me to stay away from you. You can be the emperor and I'll go to the mountains and farm."

"This one……"

Emperor Jingtai did not deny that he was actually very afraid of Xia Lin, but he could not do without him. It seemed that as long as he was there, everything would be fine. However, with him here, he, as an emperor, was far inferior to Xia Lin in terms of authority and power. This situation was very fatal. Sometimes, a policy of his would be extinguished by Xia Lin's words before it was even implemented.

This kind of emperor is very cowardly and aggrieved, so as Xia Lin said, it would be better for the two of them to stay away from each other.

"So what do you want to do when you get back? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Well... after we go back, we will start the third five-year plan. The first five-year plan was to set up a stall and build a good framework. The second one was to consolidate the foundation and connect education, industry, technology, and commerce. The third five-year plan is to complete the three integrations: education integration, resource integration, and industry integration. Let's try to make some achievements. As for your help... well, there are two things I need your help with."

"Speak." Emperor Jingtai was narrow-minded but always generous, and Xia Lin had to admit that: "If you need anything, just tell me."

"The first thing is to not allow eunuchs to take power."

"This is natural, you can rest assured."

"The second thing is to not let anyone persuade you." Xia Lin knocked on the table: "Especially Jinlian."

Emperor Jingtai was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Do you mean that I can still be influenced by a woman?"

"That's not what I meant. It's just that women's vision and direction are problematic after all. If you want to give her a house or some gold, silver, and jewelry, you can do whatever you want. But don't give her the kingdom."

"Don't worry, I know my limits."

When Xia Lin saw how confident he was, he just curled his lips in disdain, feeling endless contempt in his heart. This guy was just boastful in words, but in fact, he was more easily influenced than anyone else.

Whatever, it's natural. There's no other way. I've said what I need to say. He has to walk the rest of the way by himself.

Xia Lin did not stay for many days. He met with the floating party in the capital, ate and drank for a few days at his father-in-law's house, and talked with Lao Guo about how he defeated the Turks and what the trench anti-cavalry tactics of coordinated infantry and artillery were. Then he set off to return to Jiangnan.

On the day of his departure, countless people in the capital city breathed a sigh of relief, even Emperor Jingtai. Although he had personally seen Xia Daosheng off outside the Ten-Li Pavilion, it was only when he saw that Xia Daosheng had disappeared that Emperor Jingtai dared to let out a long breath.

"Oh, it's so tiring to be with him. I have to be careful with everything I say and do."

"Your Majesty, Lord Xia...it's actually for your own good."

"I know, but I'm just tired." Emperor Jingtai smiled helplessly: "He is obviously much younger than me, but he is just as nagging as the previous emperor."
