Chapter 184
Chapter 184
Seeing that Xin Yi was about to flee, Lin Jincheng immediately led his men to chase after him, but before he could catch up, he heard the sound of horseshoes, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a row of men in black coming to kill him with knives.
Lin Jincheng could tell that those were not Xin Yi's people, otherwise it would not be possible to show up now, but although these people came, they didn't seem to intend to attack, they just protected Xin Yi until she left safely.
Lin Jinhua got down from the carriage at the back, looked at Xin Yi who was leaving through the veil, and was puzzled, the arrow had already hit her heart, why didn't she die?
"Hua'er, do you want to chase?" Lin Jinhua asked her as she dismounted.
"No need." Lin Jinhua glanced at his father in pain, and only smiled slightly: "Daddy is not in good health, let's send him back to rest." After speaking, she turned around and got into the carriage.
Lin Jincheng knew that she, who was always open-minded, must have had a knot in her heart.
He watched her carriage pass by slowly, and then looked at her father standing there with a painful face, but he never stopped her.
In the carriage, Mo Xuehu looked at Lin Jinhua's red eyes, and said softly, "Mother, you never blamed the general, but just wanted to send him away from the right and wrong place in the capital, why didn't you talk to him properly?"
"Father's temper, if I talk to him well, he will probably stay because he feels owed. If that's the case, it's better not to say anything now and let him leave." Lin Jinhua closed her eyes and leaned half on the carriage. Hearing the sound of the wheels bumping on the road, he didn't say a word, and didn't look back.
After the carriage returned to the Lin residence, Zhao Huaiyan was already there.
The poison of the grape has not been fully detoxified yet. When Jiuer saw the grape being held in Zhao Huaiyan's arms without saying a word, he also seemed to know that he was sick, so he stood on the side very obediently and said nothing until Lin Jinhua appeared. Softly called mother.
"I'm back." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her tear-stained eyes and smiled.
"En." Lin Jinhua nodded, smiled, stepped forward to hug Jiu'er, and said, "Let's go home together."
"Go home." Jiu'er put his arms around Lin Jinhua's neck, rubbing his small face softly against hers.
Lin Jinhua's heart softened, and she took the child back to the palace directly before Lin Luzhi's father and son returned.
Lin Luzhi just returned home, and someone came to pass the news.
"My lord, my mother has already left, and she said that you are not in good health, and the capital is not suitable for recuperation." The visitor said.
Hearing this, Lin Jincheng also understood Lin Jinhua's meaning. If his father was here, he would only be immersed in these pains. Xin Yi is not dead today. If he comes back in the future, there may be more sinister revenge, so it is the best choice for his father to leave temporarily.
The pain in Lin Luzhi's eyes can be imagined, one is regret, and the other is guilt.
He nodded and went back to the room alone.
This was his wedding room with Xu Huiniang, and he never let anyone else live in it for so many years.
He looked at the familiar furnishings inside, which were still the ones Hui Niang liked when he was there, and he didn't allow anyone to touch them for so many years.
He walked inside, looked at the unfinished picture of a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren on the embroidery frame, and finally made a sound with his hoarse voice.
"Huiniang, why did you leave me alone? If I could go with you, Hua'er and Cheng'er wouldn't be bothered by me."
"Huiniang, I have been on the battlefield for decades, but now, I don't even have the strength to hold a knife..."
"Huiniang..." He paused for a long time, finally let out a long sigh, wiped away the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, and took a closer look at the room, as if he wanted to remember every detail in his eyes , It's like taking away the soul of the dead wife who stayed here in my heart.
Lin Jincheng was standing just outside the room, he could hear the faint weeping sound coming from the room, it was the cry of his father who was as strong as a mountain, who was bloody and killed enemies on the battlefield.
He didn't go in to comfort him, but silently turned around and asked someone to prepare the carriage.
When Lin Luzhi came out and sent him into the carriage, Lin Jincheng said, "Daddy, Hua'er just doesn't want you to make things difficult."
"I understand." Lin Luzhi didn't understand his daughter's painstaking efforts, and because of this, he could no longer embarrass her daughter.
He took a deep look at Lin Jincheng before he smiled and said, "Daddy is going to a far away place this time, so you don't have to worry. Daddy can't help you much. You have to take care of yourself and Hua'er. It's too bitter." She was bullied in the Chu family since she was a child, and when she came back, she was supposed to give her the best life, but it only brought her troubles everywhere.
Lin Jincheng saw the guilt in his eyes and didn't know how to comfort him, so he just nodded.
Lin Luzhi looked at the yard again, recalling the scene of the family celebrating the New Year here last time, he seemed to have some comfort in his heart, then turned around and went back to the carriage, and asked someone to drive the carriage away.
On the wall where he left the city, Lin Jinhua had long been weeping. She didn't know why God would play so many jokes on her, let her be reborn, and let her sweep away all obstacles, but she hadn't been able to live a peaceful life.
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her in his arms, watching her come out of her pretended strength and reveal her fragile self, feeling extremely distressed.
Soon, Xu Chengqing pried out a lot of people from the mouth of the previous city gate leader, and arrested them overnight. Many people were still asleep, and they were directly tied up by the officers and soldiers who broke in suddenly. These people are all defenders of the four city gates. Although there are not many of them, most of them have a certain right to speak.
The attendant holding the torch saw that everyone had been arrested, and then walked up to Xu Chengqing, and said, "My lord, there are 39 people in total, seven of them died, and the rest were arrested and brought to justice."
"Put it in the prison and wait for the Holy Majesty's judgment."
"Yes!"
Xu Chengqing's face was gloomy. There were so many moths lurking in the capital, and this was just one of them. I'm afraid there will be more to do in the future.
When he returned to the Xu Mansion, it was already dawn, and Baozhu led the people to stretch their necks at the gate of the Xu Mansion. When they saw Xu Chengqing get off the horse, they immediately ran over quickly.
Seeing her aggressive appearance, Xu Chengqing was inexplicably timid, and involuntarily took a step back before she wanted to explain, but she heard Baozhu say, "Why don't you take me there? With your small body, if something happens, who will you?" protect you?"
The guards who followed silently lowered their heads and held back their laughter.
Xu Chengqing was a little embarrassed: "I can protect myself..."
"Come on, just like your three-legged cat, next time you go out, bring me with you." After Baozhu said, she bit her lip and gave him a coquettish look: "Do you know that I didn't sleep all night, and I was worried about your accident. "
It happened that the sky turned white, and under the hazy morning light, Xu Chengqing saw that Baozhu's facial features softened a lot, as gentle as a girl next door.
The timidity in his heart was less, and he just smiled and said: "You are my daughter's family after all, these people who beat and kill..."
"On the prairie, I can kill sheep and cattle, so what's the point of killing!" Baozhu said immediately, afraid that Xu Chengqing would dislike her. Smiling, sighed: "Forget it, anyway, you don't like me like this..."
Xu Chengqing saw that she was feeling so depressed suddenly, and she was still a little uncomfortable, so she quickly comforted her: "It's not..."
"Really? I knew it, Cheng Qing, let's go, I've got someone to roast the most delicious mutton in our grassland for you!" After finishing speaking, he grabbed him and carried him inside.
Xu Chengqing was dumb, but seeing her bluffing like this, the heaviness from last night has disappeared a lot.
After eating the prairie style breakfast she specially prepared, she quickly went to court.
Zhao Huaiyan is still in the harem at this time.
Lin Jinhua stayed up all night, and after re-injecting the grapes with micro-medicine, she sat on the porch outside the house all night, watching the night gradually brighten, watching the mist fall on the petals and turn into dewdrops.
"The forces in the capital have already removed three places, and the others will be found out soon." Zhao Huaiyan said.
Lin Jinhua leaned on his side, and smiled slightly: "At last, I can rest in peace for a while." Changsun Xuanyin has not lived long, and even if Xin Yi can escape in the end, without Changsun Xuanyin, she would not be able to become a great weapon.
Zhao Huaiyan looked sideways at the worry that hadn't dissipated in her eyes, then put her hand in his palm, and said, "Hua'er, everything will get better and better."
"can you?"
"Yes." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her gentle eyebrows, looked at the panic and expectation hidden in her eyes, and smiled lightly: "As long as you are here, I will make everything better."
Lin Jinhua looked into his slightly deep eyes, felt the deep love inside, smiled, turned around and hugged him, and said with a sullen smile, "I believe it."
Zhao Huaiyan raised her thin lips slightly, as long as she likes him, he will do everything to realize what she wants.
He doesn't know and doesn't care what other people want to pursue in life, as long as her Hua'er can be happy, he is enough.
Somewhere outside the capital.
Anu saw the grandson Xuanyin who started to vomit blood again, worried: "How long can you last?"
"It's still growing." Changsun Xuanyin smiled, washed his hands in the silver basin brought by Kulian, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then looked up at her: "What I asked you to do..."
"Don't worry, I've been saved, but it's because her heart is different from others', it grows in the opposite direction, otherwise it would be Lin Luzhi's arrow, and she would definitely die." I couldn't help sighing at the scene I saw, but fortunately I don't have any relatives, otherwise it would be really sad.
She propped her chin with one hand, and seemed to be in some kind of contemplation. Ku Lian was packing up things for Changsun Xuanyin. When she turned her head, she looked at her long raised neck. There was an obvious...Adam's apple?
He froze, and looked at Changsun Xuanyin in a panic, thinking that this Anu was fake, but Changsun Xuanyin just smiled lightly: "She is a man."
Kulian became even more messy, Anu looked like a heroic and beautiful woman, how did she become a man?
Seeing that he had discovered it, Anu blinked: "Why, my voice has changed too much recently?"
Bitter lotus is messy in the wind.
Anu smiled, took a step forward, grabbed his hand and threw it on his chest, and rubbed his hand, and said with a smile: "Is this the letter?"
Ku Lian's face turned red immediately, and she ran down quickly with the basin in her hand.
"You know you're shy at such a young age." Anu raised his brows slightly, turned to look at Changsun Xuanyin, and said, "If you die, what's the use of leaving such an oil bottle for me?"
"You owe me your life, so you should pay him back." Changsun Xuanyin smiled slightly and stood up.
But he seemed to be thinner, after putting on the black long gown, the inside of the skirt seemed to be empty, when the wind blew, Anu thought that he was about to turn into a fairy at this moment.
Anu followed behind him and said, "Are you going to see Xin Yi?"
"Ah."
"See what she is doing, she probably wants you to die." Anu was puzzled.
Changsun Xuanyin smiled and walked out without explaining anything to her.
The sun came out today, but it is not as hot as before. It seems that after a few heavy rains, autumn is coming.
When leaving, he stopped, looked at the blue sky and the soft white clouds hanging above, and smiled slightly: "The weather is really nice today."
"Master..." Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Ku Lian also became sad.
"Let's go. It's time to end these things." After Changsun Xuanyin said, he finally withdrew his eyes and looked into the distance. It was a place where a small town used to be. It's a pity that such a paradise couldn't wash away his body. of evil.
He has been plotting people's hearts all his life, killing everyone close to him.
Changsun Xuanyin thought of this, thinking of the people who died because of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, holding back the fishy sweetness in his throat, and finally got into the carriage, without further mentioning.
In the distance, grandson Qiye was following Lin Zhenxi, but Lin Zhenxi's sense of direction was not very good.
Several people sat in the carriage and stayed at the intersection, hesitating.
"They said that the capital of Daqi is in the southwest, and this and that are the southwest." Lin Zhenxi asked Momo.
Momo blinked her big eyes and said, "Miss, why don't we roll the dice to decide."
When Lin Zhenxi heard this, he smiled and slapped her on the head: "Silly boy, throw dice, we don't have dice either."
Grandson Qi Ye: "..."
He looked at it and pointed in a direction: "Go here."
"Wow, Tieniu, how do you know!" Lin Zhenxi looked at him adoringly.
"Intuition." Changsun Qiye said while looking at her.
Lin Zhenxi blinked her big eyes when she heard the words: "Then what should I do in that direction?"
The eldest grandson Qi Ye glanced at the direction she pointed, and said, "That's the direction we just came from."
Lin Zhenxi coughed twice, and Momo came over and said, "Miss, he doesn't remember anything, we believe in him, it's better to believe in dice."
"Since that's the case..." Lin Zhenxi looked at the stern grandson Qi Ye, and said, "Let's turn back the way we came, and find someone to ask."
"good idea!"
The master and servant made up their minds, turned the carriage around and went back.
Grandson Qi Ye: "..."
But he is not in a hurry, he can't think of anything now, just waiting to recover slowly, it doesn't matter where he goes.
It's just that he vaguely felt that there was something waiting for her to do, but what was it?
Beijing.
In the past few days, many forces have been eliminated, and Ling Mo's attack on Fanbang is even more powerful. When it is finally time to wipe out Fanbang, Beiyan finally intervenes. In an instant, the dispute between Daqi and Fanbang has become Daqi. The matter of diplomatic relations with Beiyan.
Beiyan is a powerful country for several generations. Although it is not as good as before, the family wealth accumulated over the years is much richer than that of Daqi.
Da Qi is the merger of the three kingdoms. Since this year, a large part of the treasury's money has been spent on the people, and there is still a surplus of food and grass for the surrounding small troubles. If you start a war with Beiyan, you can't win it in a short time , will be at a disadvantage due to the shortage of food and grass, and the impact on Daqi can be imagined at that time.
Lin Jinhua was in the harem, and when she saw someone she hadn't seen for a long time come back, she smiled: "I haven't heard from you for a long time."
"Since I parted ways with my empress in Xixia, I went to Beiyan, and I did business in Beiyan along the way." After Zhang Xiaofang finished speaking, she glanced at the woman next to her, who immediately came forward to salute: "Minister Female song song, I have seen the empress."
Zhang Xiaofang glanced at her with a smile, turned around and said to Lin Jinhua: "Madam, in a few days, I will go back to my hometown. During this period of time, Qu Ge will handle all affairs at my disposal. Her ability is no better than mine. Poor." After finishing speaking, Quge presented a box half as high as an arm.
Seeing this, Mo Xue stepped forward to take it and opened it, and then opened it, and saw that it was full of bank notes from major banks, and the smallest one on the face was one thousand taels. If such a big box , all of which are filled with 1000 taels of bank notes, and the value is at least a few hundred thousand taels.
Zhang Xiaofang took the opportunity to say: "This is part of the money earned by the shop over the years. I followed my mother's orders, and most of it was used for turnover. I never brought it. If my mother needs money urgently, I can ask Qu Ge to bring all the money, or It is not a problem to sell the shop and make up a million taels."
Rao even Mo Xue looked at her in shock. She originally thought that she was a woman, and even if she had the ability to do business, it would be great to earn 10,000+ a year, but now she is talking about a million taels...
Qu Ge suppressed his excitement and smiled on one side: "Sister Fang is very capable, and the girls only learn a little, but they are willing to go through fire and water for your empress." All seem to be shining.Even if she is not required to go into business, she is willing to keep her by her side as a cow or a horse.
Lin Jinhua believed in Zhang Xiaofang's ability to judge people, and when she looked at Quge, although she was shrewd as a businessman, she couldn't hide her impulse now, and she could barely trust her.
She glanced at Zhang Xiaofang and said, "You want to go home?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaofang smiled mysteriously: "I'm going to a place far, far away, and I may never come back again. Please forgive me, Madam."
Lin Jinhua knew that her background was mysterious, so she didn't ask any more questions after hearing the rumors, and it was the utmost benevolence for her to come to give charcoal in a timely manner instead of absconding to Beiyan.
"Go."
"Thank you, ma'am." Zhang Xiaofang saluted in a similar manner, then looked at Mo Xue, and then at Lin Jinhua, who was wearing a red palace dress above her. If such a concubine was in modern times, the portraits she would draw must be very beautiful. !
She thought about it, she could still see the living queen in this life, which was considered a consummation of merit and virtue.
After solemnly saluting, he went down.
Qu Ge stayed and waited for Zhang Xiaofang to leave before saying, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?"
"One million taels of silver, I will see you within ten days." Lin Jinhua's tone was not harsh, but the matter was urgent now.
"Yes!" Seeing her, Qu Ge immediately told herself to do something, not to mention how happy she was.
She paused for a moment, then said again: "Your Majesty, if a civil daughter wants to talk back and forth, can I come to the palace to see you at any time?"
Seeing the admiration in her eyes, Mo Xue smiled slightly: "When you come, give me a message in advance, and I will bring you in."
"Yes!" After Quge finished speaking, she hurriedly and cautiously stepped back.
Walking out of the palace gate, Mo Xue saw that she was almost jumping out happily, she shook her head with a smile, and then turned around and saluted Lin Jinhua: "Madam, this Quge's identity was checked by the servants when they entered the capital, she is The daughter of a local businessman, when the Western Xia Dynasty elected the princess, her portrait was sent to the Western Xia Palace, and the servants looked at it, and it was indeed her. And because of her ability to do business for so many years, she is considered a little famous in the local area. Few people have stepped across the threshold of his house and seen her."
"Since there's no problem, then it's okay." Lin Jinhua had to guard against it now.
"Yes." Mo Xue responded, and Lin Jinhua immediately asked someone to send the banknote to the Minister of the Ministry of War who was in charge of grain and grass.
She didn't care about the ministers of the previous dynasty, anyway, Huai Yan was in charge, and as for herself, she had more important things to do.
Because of the poisoning, Mo Feng's martial arts were basically exhausted, and Mo Hua's dumbness was fine. After checking the medicine prepared by Lin Jinhua himself, he can already make some sounds.
The three of them were placed in a small hall at the back of the side hall. The small hall was spacious and there were people serving them. Every time, Mo Feng joked that Lin Jinhua treated them like young ladies.
"Your Majesty, the servants have been pampered by you. What should I do in the future?" Mo Feng continued to practice every day since his kung fu was abolished, so he was still in good health. She could still come out to greet Lin Jinhua when he came.
"From now on, you will also be the wife of the commander of the imperial guards, so how about raising a little girl?" Lin Jinhua laughed.
Mo Feng's face turned red slightly, and when he sat down in the inner room, the maid immediately brought tea.
Lin Jinyu sat on the edge of the bed, took Mo Yue's pulse, and said, "The poison in the body has been lodged for too long. Although it can be eliminated, it may take some time to wake up."
"It's good if you can clear it." Mo Hua finished speaking on one side, and then took out the red rainbow jade that Lin Jinhua had given her before and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to use this jade slave, so I'd better return it to your Majesty."
"You keep it for self-defense." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly. Now she doesn't need to use the red rainbow jade to control the Gu worms. As for the red rainbow jade, it is not so important to her, so it is better to leave it for them to defend themselves.
"But……"
Mo Hua still refused, but Lin Jinhua only said, "Just treat it as a dowry?"
Mo Hua blushed, thinking of that person in her mind, sighed inwardly again, just smiled and stood on one side without speaking.
Lin Jinhua remembered that Mo Xue said that Mohua was saved thanks to Lang Yuehan, and during this period of getting along, there seemed to be something between the two of them that they didn't even know, so Lin Jinhua thought, this Langyue's family After all, things are going back to Lang Yue's house.
She smiled, and after talking to them for a while, she also felt a lot more relaxed. She didn't go out until Mother Cui came over and said Mrs. Xu was asking to see her.
Mrs. Xu came with Xu Zhaozhao, and Yuan Shao was also with her.
Yuan Shao is a laid-back person, but for Xu Zhaozhao's sake, he took an errand to stay in the capital. Unless he was on official business or going to court, he basically followed Xu Zhaozhao's side at other times. occur.
Sitting in the imperial garden, Lin Jinhua watched Aunt Cui chasing butterflies with wine, only smiled at Mrs. Xu who came over, and before they could salute, she said, "Auntie, excuse me."
"Thank you, ma'am." Madam Xu looked at her with white hair, and tears fell instantly.
Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly said: "Mother, what are you doing to make your mother sad again?" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but wiped the corners of his eyes.
Lin Jinhua knew that they felt sorry for her, so she just rolled her eyes and smiled: "Isn't white hair pretty?"
"My lady..."
"Auntie, Hua'er is fine." Lin Jinhua smiled sweetly at her.
Mrs. Xu saw that she was comforting herself in return, so she sighed, stepped forward to sit down, and said, "Hua'er, you are really suffering."
"All hardships come with sweetness." Lin Jinhua was still smiling. She believed that these hardships would eventually pass. No matter how bitter it is now, it will be sweeter in the future.
Mrs. Xu saw that she could think about it, so she stopped moaning and moaning to make her sad, and only pulled her to talk about some lively daily life, trying to comfort her.
When Zhao Huaiyan came over, he saw the bustling Xu family surrounding Lin Jinhua from a distance, and stopped in his footsteps.
Gao Ting followed beside him and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't you want to go?"
"Not going." Zhao Huaiyan said.It is enough to see Hua'er happy now, what he has to do is to clean up all the obstacles in the capital.
Xu Chengqing followed behind him, and there was Jiang Qingshu who hadn't appeared for a long time.
Jiang Qingshu is now married and is the niece of the Luo family.He is also acquainted with the Luo family, and that woman is also gentle and virtuous, so no matter how many thoughts he had in his heart, he suppressed them, but seeing her with white hair still smiling calmly from a distance, The lake in his heart still fluctuated, but now he has learned how to hide.
"Master Jiang, what's the matter?" Xu Chengqing asked, seeing what he was thinking with downcast eyes.
Jiang Qingshu came back to his senses, quickly raised his head and said: "Reporting to the emperor, there is another person hiding among the people, I may find a way to find it."
Zhao Huaiyan nodded, and walked to another garden: "Then I will leave this matter to Jiang Aiqing."
"Yes."
"Minister in the court, Cheng Qing, you and the prime minister should try to find out evidence of their corruption and deal with them one by one. The autumn test in the second half of this year is about to start, recruiting talents." Zhao Huaiyan said as he walked.
Xu Chengqing responded: "Those ministers in the court think that the Daqi court must have them. Now that the emperor is strictly investigating corruption and opening the Enke exam, they must restrain themselves."
Zhao Huaiyan recalled that they were kept in order to stabilize people's hearts. He didn't expect that there would be so many of them without self-knowledge. Now it is a good thing to take this opportunity to eradicate them earlier.
After Xu Chengqing finished speaking, he said again: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the Beiyan incident? I heard that the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households are still arguing whether to ask for peace."
Jiang Qingshu frowned when he heard the word "seeking for peace", and looked at Zhao Huaiyan, but Zhao Huaiyan's face was still as cold as before: "Tomorrow, they will stop their dispute." The woman trained by Hua'er who is good at business came here today He also knew that Hua'er sent people to send a lot of money to the Ministry of War. If Hua'er dared to make such a move, it must be a big deal. The old men in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance are still arguing about the queen in the palace today. It is a fake...
Thinking of this, Zhao Huaiyan suddenly raised the corners of his lips coldly.
At this time, the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War were all dumbfounded.
The officials standing below had never seen so many silver bills. Inside the half-arm-long box, there were neatly stacked silver bills, with a silver ingot pressed on each stack. You can see the reality of the bank note underneath.
"Could it... be fake?" One of them asked.
"No." Someone looked at the ticket stubs. These were bank notes from a big bank, and he could tell the authenticity from the fake.
Hearing this, everyone else covered their mouths: "So, does the Empress really have so much money? And it's all paid for by the army?"
The newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War stroked his beard, thought for a while, and smiled: "The person sent by the empress also said that in a few days, there will be more money twice as rich as this."
The people below were blown up, where did the empress get so much money, and she has so much money, she is not bad to say that she is rich, why is she willing to give it all?
Minister of the Ministry of War looked at the people below, raised his chin, and said, "Who is still asking for peace? Stand up now."
The people below looked at each other.
The Minister of the Ministry of War snorted softly, and said again: "Go and take out all the silver, and when you bring it back, go to the household department and those old fools for a walk, and tell them to open their eyes and see clearly!"
"Yes." Immediately, someone responded and went out with the banknotes in their hands, but some of the people underneath blushed in embarrassment, and said: "My lord, why don't we seek peace, it will be a waste of money and people."
"Confused." Minister of the Ministry of War glanced at the speaker, squinted his eyes, and suddenly said: "Did you go along with Master Huang when he pointed out that the empress in the palace was fake a while ago?"
The man immediately knelt down: "My lord, I'm just..."
"Okay, don't talk about it, you can either go home on vacation, or see the current situation clearly." Minister of the Ministry of War said.
"But why is the emperor a woman..."
"This woman is more useful than you. If you marry all your daughters into the palace, can you go bankrupt and give so much money to the court?" Minister of the Ministry of War snorted softly.
The people below quickly lowered their heads, and the Minister of the Ministry of War seemed still not relieved, and said again: "You guys, I won't say anything about the young ones. In this officialdom, it is important to be cautious, but those who rely on the old to sell the old, don't say I didn't remind you, Your Majesty." The money in the national treasury is taken from the people and used by the people, and this world was brought down by him himself, and you still want to fool the emperor with your tricks, so be careful of your own black hat." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and sent people away. They all drove off.
After they all left, they looked at Lord Luo, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who came out from the inside. The two old friends met and greeted each other. It's confusing."
"The empress and the emperor are not ordinary people. I saw this with my own eyes." When Master Luo recalled the past, he really sighed.
"Yes, in the future, I need you to remind me more, old friend, so as not to make me confused." Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said.
Master Luo smiled, this matter is over.
Soon, there were more than twice as many officers and soldiers patrolling the capital at night, and the people felt a lot more secure, but some people really had trouble sleeping.
In a certain courtyard, someone was plotting to escape, and before they could go out with their bags on their backs, they were stopped by Jiang Qingshu.
Jiang Qingshu looked at the cowering man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and smiled lightly: "Long time no see."
When the people on the ground heard this familiar voice, they raised their heads in astonishment, and when they saw that it was Jiang Qingshu, they paused first, and then quickly apologized with a smile: "It turned out to be Xiao Jiang. For the sake of our acquaintance, please forgive me." pass me."
"Forgive you? Why?" Jiang Qingshu asked him back, his tone was not salty, and he didn't seem to be angry at all.
The people below mustered up their courage before they smiled and said, "Back then you and your mother lived in my house, and I made you delay the rent for a long time, right, and I didn't drive you two out to let you drink the northwest wind... ..."
Jiang Qingshu raised the corners of his mouth ironically, the reason why he didn't drive him away at the beginning was all because the rent had doubled, until the young lady came for the first time and gave him money for him.
He didn't kill him right away, but still said flatly: "Give you a chance to confess everyone, and I will spare you, otherwise, I will put you on the meat grinder and grind you bit by bit... "
The man turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
Only then did Jiang Qingshu look at him coldly, and when he was frightened enough to confess everyone, he immediately took people to arrest him.
Such an urgent search and arrest operation lasted for seven or eight days. During these seven or eight days, a total of hundreds of people were arrested, and they were from all walks of life. They usually looked very normal and even a little pitiful. I searched the capital and couldn't find it.
After the past few days, the people in the capital had checked almost everything. When Yan Shisan saw Lin Jinhua, she was standing by the lake feeding the fish. Although she was exactly the same as Xin Yi, they felt completely different.Xin Yi's evil spirit was exposed and couldn't be hidden, but Lin Jinhua looked like a fairy who was indifferent to the world. His arm fed the Gu worms without changing expression.
"Things are almost done..."
"It's almost there." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, looked at the colorful koi in the lake, and said, "Hero Yan, since we know that there are still people alive, our deal is not considered complete."
"but……"
"Hero Yan is in a hurry to leave the capital?" Lin Jinhua asked him.
Standing by the lake, Yan Shisan could still see his own reflection in the clear water.
The refreshing wind blew by, and the willow branches hanging by the lake slowly swayed. He was silent for a while before saying, "I'm going to find someone."
"Who?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Yan Shisan snorted softly, still not paying attention to Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua knew that his temper was that he would not look back until he bumped into the south wall, and he forgot in a blink of an eye after hitting the south wall.
She turned to look at him and said, "What are you still hiding for Xin Yi?"
Yan Shisan's palms tightened slightly: "I don't know what you're talking about, she already found out that I betrayed her, so she won't let me go."
"No, you are not restrained by Xin Yi. You are under Wu Ya's orders. Mr. Wu Ya rescued Xin Yi, so you also know that you have to protect Xin Yi's last remaining power, right." Lin Jinhua looked at him with a slight smile.
Yan Shisan didn't know how this person was so smart, he seemed to be able to read minds.
He frowned slightly: "So, you won't take out the Gu worms in my body? Even if I can easily kill you now..."
Yan Shisan hadn't finished speaking when a strange flute sounded, his whole body froze, a tingling pain came from his body, and then his heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, making him break out in cold sweat instantly, his throat It was as if someone had caught him, and he couldn't breathe, so he could only grab his own neck and stare at Lin Jinhua viciously.
Lin Jinhua smiled faintly: "Can you kill Ben Gong?"
Yan Shisan gritted his teeth tightly, and finally shook his head, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly. He looked back, only to find a palace lady in blue standing on the bridge not far away, holding a bone flute, indifferently look this way.
Lin Jinhua glanced at Mo Hua lightly, Mo Hua understood, turned and left.
Lin Jinhua then turned around, sprinkled all the fish food in her hand into the water, and said, "Either tell me where the rest of the people are, or let my Gu king give birth to thousands of small Gu worms in your body." .”
"You..." Yan Shisan managed to recover, and then looked at Lin Jinhua who was turning sideways. The wind blew her white hair against her indifferent side face, and her star-like eyes were full of ice.
He held back his anger and said: "Since you guessed that everything was done by Wu Ya, why bother to make things difficult for me instead of looking for him?"
Lin Jinhua smiled: "To make things difficult for you, he will come to the door. Besides, if you didn't want to kill me, how could I catch you?" After finishing speaking, Lin Jinhua turned and walked towards the covered bridge. Yan Shisan looked at her face. Looking at the back, thinking about the cold worms that seem to be wandering in the body now, he finally said: "Are you sure you want to know who the last person is?"
"Who?"
"Someone you know." Yan Shisan was about to speak when she saw her stop, and then heard someone pass: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zheng is asking to see you."
Ever since Zheng Jiaojiao's disappointing phoenix husband, Xue Wenqian, was imprisoned for attacking the prince and princess, Zheng Jiaojiao reconciled with him, so outsiders no longer call her Mrs. Xue, but Mrs. Zheng up.
But this was the first time that she came to see her suddenly. Lin Jinhua thought that she was pregnant before...
After thinking for a while, he said, "Ask her to wait in the hall."
After finishing speaking, just as she was about to leave, she found Yan Shisan who was standing on the side looking at her with complicated eyes.
Lin Jinhua paused slightly, a little in disbelief, but still asked him, "Is it her?"
Yan Shisan didn't expect Zheng Jiaojiao to come to the door by herself, so he sighed and said, "I didn't say anything, and I didn't betray Wuya, don't die, even if you are going to die, take the Gu worms in my body first." .” After speaking, he turned his head and left.
Lin Jinhua looked at the back of him leaving, her eyes darkened slightly.
How could it be Zheng Jiaojiao?She is now pregnant, and although her scumbag husband was imprisoned, but for Zheng Qiong's sake, she has never issued an order to punish her, so she has no reason to betray herself.
Lin Jinhua looked at Yan Shisan's back, then glanced at Mo Xue on one side, Mo Xue understood, and immediately followed Yan Shisan's back quietly, Lin Jinhua then went to the front hall.
At this moment, Zheng Jiaojiao was already waiting, her face was a little anxious, she kept looking out with her big belly, and only clenched her teeth slightly when she saw Lin Jinhua coming over.
(End of this chapter)
Seeing that Xin Yi was about to flee, Lin Jincheng immediately led his men to chase after him, but before he could catch up, he heard the sound of horseshoes, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a row of men in black coming to kill him with knives.
Lin Jincheng could tell that those were not Xin Yi's people, otherwise it would not be possible to show up now, but although these people came, they didn't seem to intend to attack, they just protected Xin Yi until she left safely.
Lin Jinhua got down from the carriage at the back, looked at Xin Yi who was leaving through the veil, and was puzzled, the arrow had already hit her heart, why didn't she die?
"Hua'er, do you want to chase?" Lin Jinhua asked her as she dismounted.
"No need." Lin Jinhua glanced at his father in pain, and only smiled slightly: "Daddy is not in good health, let's send him back to rest." After speaking, she turned around and got into the carriage.
Lin Jincheng knew that she, who was always open-minded, must have had a knot in her heart.
He watched her carriage pass by slowly, and then looked at her father standing there with a painful face, but he never stopped her.
In the carriage, Mo Xuehu looked at Lin Jinhua's red eyes, and said softly, "Mother, you never blamed the general, but just wanted to send him away from the right and wrong place in the capital, why didn't you talk to him properly?"
"Father's temper, if I talk to him well, he will probably stay because he feels owed. If that's the case, it's better not to say anything now and let him leave." Lin Jinhua closed her eyes and leaned half on the carriage. Hearing the sound of the wheels bumping on the road, he didn't say a word, and didn't look back.
After the carriage returned to the Lin residence, Zhao Huaiyan was already there.
The poison of the grape has not been fully detoxified yet. When Jiuer saw the grape being held in Zhao Huaiyan's arms without saying a word, he also seemed to know that he was sick, so he stood on the side very obediently and said nothing until Lin Jinhua appeared. Softly called mother.
"I'm back." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her tear-stained eyes and smiled.
"En." Lin Jinhua nodded, smiled, stepped forward to hug Jiu'er, and said, "Let's go home together."
"Go home." Jiu'er put his arms around Lin Jinhua's neck, rubbing his small face softly against hers.
Lin Jinhua's heart softened, and she took the child back to the palace directly before Lin Luzhi's father and son returned.
Lin Luzhi just returned home, and someone came to pass the news.
"My lord, my mother has already left, and she said that you are not in good health, and the capital is not suitable for recuperation." The visitor said.
Hearing this, Lin Jincheng also understood Lin Jinhua's meaning. If his father was here, he would only be immersed in these pains. Xin Yi is not dead today. If he comes back in the future, there may be more sinister revenge, so it is the best choice for his father to leave temporarily.
The pain in Lin Luzhi's eyes can be imagined, one is regret, and the other is guilt.
He nodded and went back to the room alone.
This was his wedding room with Xu Huiniang, and he never let anyone else live in it for so many years.
He looked at the familiar furnishings inside, which were still the ones Hui Niang liked when he was there, and he didn't allow anyone to touch them for so many years.
He walked inside, looked at the unfinished picture of a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren on the embroidery frame, and finally made a sound with his hoarse voice.
"Huiniang, why did you leave me alone? If I could go with you, Hua'er and Cheng'er wouldn't be bothered by me."
"Huiniang, I have been on the battlefield for decades, but now, I don't even have the strength to hold a knife..."
"Huiniang..." He paused for a long time, finally let out a long sigh, wiped away the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, and took a closer look at the room, as if he wanted to remember every detail in his eyes , It's like taking away the soul of the dead wife who stayed here in my heart.
Lin Jincheng was standing just outside the room, he could hear the faint weeping sound coming from the room, it was the cry of his father who was as strong as a mountain, who was bloody and killed enemies on the battlefield.
He didn't go in to comfort him, but silently turned around and asked someone to prepare the carriage.
When Lin Luzhi came out and sent him into the carriage, Lin Jincheng said, "Daddy, Hua'er just doesn't want you to make things difficult."
"I understand." Lin Luzhi didn't understand his daughter's painstaking efforts, and because of this, he could no longer embarrass her daughter.
He took a deep look at Lin Jincheng before he smiled and said, "Daddy is going to a far away place this time, so you don't have to worry. Daddy can't help you much. You have to take care of yourself and Hua'er. It's too bitter." She was bullied in the Chu family since she was a child, and when she came back, she was supposed to give her the best life, but it only brought her troubles everywhere.
Lin Jincheng saw the guilt in his eyes and didn't know how to comfort him, so he just nodded.
Lin Luzhi looked at the yard again, recalling the scene of the family celebrating the New Year here last time, he seemed to have some comfort in his heart, then turned around and went back to the carriage, and asked someone to drive the carriage away.
On the wall where he left the city, Lin Jinhua had long been weeping. She didn't know why God would play so many jokes on her, let her be reborn, and let her sweep away all obstacles, but she hadn't been able to live a peaceful life.
Zhao Huaiyan hugged her in his arms, watching her come out of her pretended strength and reveal her fragile self, feeling extremely distressed.
Soon, Xu Chengqing pried out a lot of people from the mouth of the previous city gate leader, and arrested them overnight. Many people were still asleep, and they were directly tied up by the officers and soldiers who broke in suddenly. These people are all defenders of the four city gates. Although there are not many of them, most of them have a certain right to speak.
The attendant holding the torch saw that everyone had been arrested, and then walked up to Xu Chengqing, and said, "My lord, there are 39 people in total, seven of them died, and the rest were arrested and brought to justice."
"Put it in the prison and wait for the Holy Majesty's judgment."
"Yes!"
Xu Chengqing's face was gloomy. There were so many moths lurking in the capital, and this was just one of them. I'm afraid there will be more to do in the future.
When he returned to the Xu Mansion, it was already dawn, and Baozhu led the people to stretch their necks at the gate of the Xu Mansion. When they saw Xu Chengqing get off the horse, they immediately ran over quickly.
Seeing her aggressive appearance, Xu Chengqing was inexplicably timid, and involuntarily took a step back before she wanted to explain, but she heard Baozhu say, "Why don't you take me there? With your small body, if something happens, who will you?" protect you?"
The guards who followed silently lowered their heads and held back their laughter.
Xu Chengqing was a little embarrassed: "I can protect myself..."
"Come on, just like your three-legged cat, next time you go out, bring me with you." After Baozhu said, she bit her lip and gave him a coquettish look: "Do you know that I didn't sleep all night, and I was worried about your accident. "
It happened that the sky turned white, and under the hazy morning light, Xu Chengqing saw that Baozhu's facial features softened a lot, as gentle as a girl next door.
The timidity in his heart was less, and he just smiled and said: "You are my daughter's family after all, these people who beat and kill..."
"On the prairie, I can kill sheep and cattle, so what's the point of killing!" Baozhu said immediately, afraid that Xu Chengqing would dislike her. Smiling, sighed: "Forget it, anyway, you don't like me like this..."
Xu Chengqing saw that she was feeling so depressed suddenly, and she was still a little uncomfortable, so she quickly comforted her: "It's not..."
"Really? I knew it, Cheng Qing, let's go, I've got someone to roast the most delicious mutton in our grassland for you!" After finishing speaking, he grabbed him and carried him inside.
Xu Chengqing was dumb, but seeing her bluffing like this, the heaviness from last night has disappeared a lot.
After eating the prairie style breakfast she specially prepared, she quickly went to court.
Zhao Huaiyan is still in the harem at this time.
Lin Jinhua stayed up all night, and after re-injecting the grapes with micro-medicine, she sat on the porch outside the house all night, watching the night gradually brighten, watching the mist fall on the petals and turn into dewdrops.
"The forces in the capital have already removed three places, and the others will be found out soon." Zhao Huaiyan said.
Lin Jinhua leaned on his side, and smiled slightly: "At last, I can rest in peace for a while." Changsun Xuanyin has not lived long, and even if Xin Yi can escape in the end, without Changsun Xuanyin, she would not be able to become a great weapon.
Zhao Huaiyan looked sideways at the worry that hadn't dissipated in her eyes, then put her hand in his palm, and said, "Hua'er, everything will get better and better."
"can you?"
"Yes." Zhao Huaiyan looked at her gentle eyebrows, looked at the panic and expectation hidden in her eyes, and smiled lightly: "As long as you are here, I will make everything better."
Lin Jinhua looked into his slightly deep eyes, felt the deep love inside, smiled, turned around and hugged him, and said with a sullen smile, "I believe it."
Zhao Huaiyan raised her thin lips slightly, as long as she likes him, he will do everything to realize what she wants.
He doesn't know and doesn't care what other people want to pursue in life, as long as her Hua'er can be happy, he is enough.
Somewhere outside the capital.
Anu saw the grandson Xuanyin who started to vomit blood again, worried: "How long can you last?"
"It's still growing." Changsun Xuanyin smiled, washed his hands in the silver basin brought by Kulian, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then looked up at her: "What I asked you to do..."
"Don't worry, I've been saved, but it's because her heart is different from others', it grows in the opposite direction, otherwise it would be Lin Luzhi's arrow, and she would definitely die." I couldn't help sighing at the scene I saw, but fortunately I don't have any relatives, otherwise it would be really sad.
She propped her chin with one hand, and seemed to be in some kind of contemplation. Ku Lian was packing up things for Changsun Xuanyin. When she turned her head, she looked at her long raised neck. There was an obvious...Adam's apple?
He froze, and looked at Changsun Xuanyin in a panic, thinking that this Anu was fake, but Changsun Xuanyin just smiled lightly: "She is a man."
Kulian became even more messy, Anu looked like a heroic and beautiful woman, how did she become a man?
Seeing that he had discovered it, Anu blinked: "Why, my voice has changed too much recently?"
Bitter lotus is messy in the wind.
Anu smiled, took a step forward, grabbed his hand and threw it on his chest, and rubbed his hand, and said with a smile: "Is this the letter?"
Ku Lian's face turned red immediately, and she ran down quickly with the basin in her hand.
"You know you're shy at such a young age." Anu raised his brows slightly, turned to look at Changsun Xuanyin, and said, "If you die, what's the use of leaving such an oil bottle for me?"
"You owe me your life, so you should pay him back." Changsun Xuanyin smiled slightly and stood up.
But he seemed to be thinner, after putting on the black long gown, the inside of the skirt seemed to be empty, when the wind blew, Anu thought that he was about to turn into a fairy at this moment.
Anu followed behind him and said, "Are you going to see Xin Yi?"
"Ah."
"See what she is doing, she probably wants you to die." Anu was puzzled.
Changsun Xuanyin smiled and walked out without explaining anything to her.
The sun came out today, but it is not as hot as before. It seems that after a few heavy rains, autumn is coming.
When leaving, he stopped, looked at the blue sky and the soft white clouds hanging above, and smiled slightly: "The weather is really nice today."
"Master..." Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Ku Lian also became sad.
"Let's go. It's time to end these things." After Changsun Xuanyin said, he finally withdrew his eyes and looked into the distance. It was a place where a small town used to be. It's a pity that such a paradise couldn't wash away his body. of evil.
He has been plotting people's hearts all his life, killing everyone close to him.
Changsun Xuanyin thought of this, thinking of the people who died because of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, holding back the fishy sweetness in his throat, and finally got into the carriage, without further mentioning.
In the distance, grandson Qiye was following Lin Zhenxi, but Lin Zhenxi's sense of direction was not very good.
Several people sat in the carriage and stayed at the intersection, hesitating.
"They said that the capital of Daqi is in the southwest, and this and that are the southwest." Lin Zhenxi asked Momo.
Momo blinked her big eyes and said, "Miss, why don't we roll the dice to decide."
When Lin Zhenxi heard this, he smiled and slapped her on the head: "Silly boy, throw dice, we don't have dice either."
Grandson Qi Ye: "..."
He looked at it and pointed in a direction: "Go here."
"Wow, Tieniu, how do you know!" Lin Zhenxi looked at him adoringly.
"Intuition." Changsun Qiye said while looking at her.
Lin Zhenxi blinked her big eyes when she heard the words: "Then what should I do in that direction?"
The eldest grandson Qi Ye glanced at the direction she pointed, and said, "That's the direction we just came from."
Lin Zhenxi coughed twice, and Momo came over and said, "Miss, he doesn't remember anything, we believe in him, it's better to believe in dice."
"Since that's the case..." Lin Zhenxi looked at the stern grandson Qi Ye, and said, "Let's turn back the way we came, and find someone to ask."
"good idea!"
The master and servant made up their minds, turned the carriage around and went back.
Grandson Qi Ye: "..."
But he is not in a hurry, he can't think of anything now, just waiting to recover slowly, it doesn't matter where he goes.
It's just that he vaguely felt that there was something waiting for her to do, but what was it?
Beijing.
In the past few days, many forces have been eliminated, and Ling Mo's attack on Fanbang is even more powerful. When it is finally time to wipe out Fanbang, Beiyan finally intervenes. In an instant, the dispute between Daqi and Fanbang has become Daqi. The matter of diplomatic relations with Beiyan.
Beiyan is a powerful country for several generations. Although it is not as good as before, the family wealth accumulated over the years is much richer than that of Daqi.
Da Qi is the merger of the three kingdoms. Since this year, a large part of the treasury's money has been spent on the people, and there is still a surplus of food and grass for the surrounding small troubles. If you start a war with Beiyan, you can't win it in a short time , will be at a disadvantage due to the shortage of food and grass, and the impact on Daqi can be imagined at that time.
Lin Jinhua was in the harem, and when she saw someone she hadn't seen for a long time come back, she smiled: "I haven't heard from you for a long time."
"Since I parted ways with my empress in Xixia, I went to Beiyan, and I did business in Beiyan along the way." After Zhang Xiaofang finished speaking, she glanced at the woman next to her, who immediately came forward to salute: "Minister Female song song, I have seen the empress."
Zhang Xiaofang glanced at her with a smile, turned around and said to Lin Jinhua: "Madam, in a few days, I will go back to my hometown. During this period of time, Qu Ge will handle all affairs at my disposal. Her ability is no better than mine. Poor." After finishing speaking, Quge presented a box half as high as an arm.
Seeing this, Mo Xue stepped forward to take it and opened it, and then opened it, and saw that it was full of bank notes from major banks, and the smallest one on the face was one thousand taels. If such a big box , all of which are filled with 1000 taels of bank notes, and the value is at least a few hundred thousand taels.
Zhang Xiaofang took the opportunity to say: "This is part of the money earned by the shop over the years. I followed my mother's orders, and most of it was used for turnover. I never brought it. If my mother needs money urgently, I can ask Qu Ge to bring all the money, or It is not a problem to sell the shop and make up a million taels."
Rao even Mo Xue looked at her in shock. She originally thought that she was a woman, and even if she had the ability to do business, it would be great to earn 10,000+ a year, but now she is talking about a million taels...
Qu Ge suppressed his excitement and smiled on one side: "Sister Fang is very capable, and the girls only learn a little, but they are willing to go through fire and water for your empress." All seem to be shining.Even if she is not required to go into business, she is willing to keep her by her side as a cow or a horse.
Lin Jinhua believed in Zhang Xiaofang's ability to judge people, and when she looked at Quge, although she was shrewd as a businessman, she couldn't hide her impulse now, and she could barely trust her.
She glanced at Zhang Xiaofang and said, "You want to go home?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaofang smiled mysteriously: "I'm going to a place far, far away, and I may never come back again. Please forgive me, Madam."
Lin Jinhua knew that her background was mysterious, so she didn't ask any more questions after hearing the rumors, and it was the utmost benevolence for her to come to give charcoal in a timely manner instead of absconding to Beiyan.
"Go."
"Thank you, ma'am." Zhang Xiaofang saluted in a similar manner, then looked at Mo Xue, and then at Lin Jinhua, who was wearing a red palace dress above her. If such a concubine was in modern times, the portraits she would draw must be very beautiful. !
She thought about it, she could still see the living queen in this life, which was considered a consummation of merit and virtue.
After solemnly saluting, he went down.
Qu Ge stayed and waited for Zhang Xiaofang to leave before saying, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do next?"
"One million taels of silver, I will see you within ten days." Lin Jinhua's tone was not harsh, but the matter was urgent now.
"Yes!" Seeing her, Qu Ge immediately told herself to do something, not to mention how happy she was.
She paused for a moment, then said again: "Your Majesty, if a civil daughter wants to talk back and forth, can I come to the palace to see you at any time?"
Seeing the admiration in her eyes, Mo Xue smiled slightly: "When you come, give me a message in advance, and I will bring you in."
"Yes!" After Quge finished speaking, she hurriedly and cautiously stepped back.
Walking out of the palace gate, Mo Xue saw that she was almost jumping out happily, she shook her head with a smile, and then turned around and saluted Lin Jinhua: "Madam, this Quge's identity was checked by the servants when they entered the capital, she is The daughter of a local businessman, when the Western Xia Dynasty elected the princess, her portrait was sent to the Western Xia Palace, and the servants looked at it, and it was indeed her. And because of her ability to do business for so many years, she is considered a little famous in the local area. Few people have stepped across the threshold of his house and seen her."
"Since there's no problem, then it's okay." Lin Jinhua had to guard against it now.
"Yes." Mo Xue responded, and Lin Jinhua immediately asked someone to send the banknote to the Minister of the Ministry of War who was in charge of grain and grass.
She didn't care about the ministers of the previous dynasty, anyway, Huai Yan was in charge, and as for herself, she had more important things to do.
Because of the poisoning, Mo Feng's martial arts were basically exhausted, and Mo Hua's dumbness was fine. After checking the medicine prepared by Lin Jinhua himself, he can already make some sounds.
The three of them were placed in a small hall at the back of the side hall. The small hall was spacious and there were people serving them. Every time, Mo Feng joked that Lin Jinhua treated them like young ladies.
"Your Majesty, the servants have been pampered by you. What should I do in the future?" Mo Feng continued to practice every day since his kung fu was abolished, so he was still in good health. She could still come out to greet Lin Jinhua when he came.
"From now on, you will also be the wife of the commander of the imperial guards, so how about raising a little girl?" Lin Jinhua laughed.
Mo Feng's face turned red slightly, and when he sat down in the inner room, the maid immediately brought tea.
Lin Jinyu sat on the edge of the bed, took Mo Yue's pulse, and said, "The poison in the body has been lodged for too long. Although it can be eliminated, it may take some time to wake up."
"It's good if you can clear it." Mo Hua finished speaking on one side, and then took out the red rainbow jade that Lin Jinhua had given her before and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to use this jade slave, so I'd better return it to your Majesty."
"You keep it for self-defense." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly. Now she doesn't need to use the red rainbow jade to control the Gu worms. As for the red rainbow jade, it is not so important to her, so it is better to leave it for them to defend themselves.
"But……"
Mo Hua still refused, but Lin Jinhua only said, "Just treat it as a dowry?"
Mo Hua blushed, thinking of that person in her mind, sighed inwardly again, just smiled and stood on one side without speaking.
Lin Jinhua remembered that Mo Xue said that Mohua was saved thanks to Lang Yuehan, and during this period of getting along, there seemed to be something between the two of them that they didn't even know, so Lin Jinhua thought, this Langyue's family After all, things are going back to Lang Yue's house.
She smiled, and after talking to them for a while, she also felt a lot more relaxed. She didn't go out until Mother Cui came over and said Mrs. Xu was asking to see her.
Mrs. Xu came with Xu Zhaozhao, and Yuan Shao was also with her.
Yuan Shao is a laid-back person, but for Xu Zhaozhao's sake, he took an errand to stay in the capital. Unless he was on official business or going to court, he basically followed Xu Zhaozhao's side at other times. occur.
Sitting in the imperial garden, Lin Jinhua watched Aunt Cui chasing butterflies with wine, only smiled at Mrs. Xu who came over, and before they could salute, she said, "Auntie, excuse me."
"Thank you, ma'am." Madam Xu looked at her with white hair, and tears fell instantly.
Xu Zhaozhao hurriedly said: "Mother, what are you doing to make your mother sad again?" After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but wiped the corners of his eyes.
Lin Jinhua knew that they felt sorry for her, so she just rolled her eyes and smiled: "Isn't white hair pretty?"
"My lady..."
"Auntie, Hua'er is fine." Lin Jinhua smiled sweetly at her.
Mrs. Xu saw that she was comforting herself in return, so she sighed, stepped forward to sit down, and said, "Hua'er, you are really suffering."
"All hardships come with sweetness." Lin Jinhua was still smiling. She believed that these hardships would eventually pass. No matter how bitter it is now, it will be sweeter in the future.
Mrs. Xu saw that she could think about it, so she stopped moaning and moaning to make her sad, and only pulled her to talk about some lively daily life, trying to comfort her.
When Zhao Huaiyan came over, he saw the bustling Xu family surrounding Lin Jinhua from a distance, and stopped in his footsteps.
Gao Ting followed beside him and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't you want to go?"
"Not going." Zhao Huaiyan said.It is enough to see Hua'er happy now, what he has to do is to clean up all the obstacles in the capital.
Xu Chengqing followed behind him, and there was Jiang Qingshu who hadn't appeared for a long time.
Jiang Qingshu is now married and is the niece of the Luo family.He is also acquainted with the Luo family, and that woman is also gentle and virtuous, so no matter how many thoughts he had in his heart, he suppressed them, but seeing her with white hair still smiling calmly from a distance, The lake in his heart still fluctuated, but now he has learned how to hide.
"Master Jiang, what's the matter?" Xu Chengqing asked, seeing what he was thinking with downcast eyes.
Jiang Qingshu came back to his senses, quickly raised his head and said: "Reporting to the emperor, there is another person hiding among the people, I may find a way to find it."
Zhao Huaiyan nodded, and walked to another garden: "Then I will leave this matter to Jiang Aiqing."
"Yes."
"Minister in the court, Cheng Qing, you and the prime minister should try to find out evidence of their corruption and deal with them one by one. The autumn test in the second half of this year is about to start, recruiting talents." Zhao Huaiyan said as he walked.
Xu Chengqing responded: "Those ministers in the court think that the Daqi court must have them. Now that the emperor is strictly investigating corruption and opening the Enke exam, they must restrain themselves."
Zhao Huaiyan recalled that they were kept in order to stabilize people's hearts. He didn't expect that there would be so many of them without self-knowledge. Now it is a good thing to take this opportunity to eradicate them earlier.
After Xu Chengqing finished speaking, he said again: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the Beiyan incident? I heard that the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households are still arguing whether to ask for peace."
Jiang Qingshu frowned when he heard the word "seeking for peace", and looked at Zhao Huaiyan, but Zhao Huaiyan's face was still as cold as before: "Tomorrow, they will stop their dispute." The woman trained by Hua'er who is good at business came here today He also knew that Hua'er sent people to send a lot of money to the Ministry of War. If Hua'er dared to make such a move, it must be a big deal. The old men in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance are still arguing about the queen in the palace today. It is a fake...
Thinking of this, Zhao Huaiyan suddenly raised the corners of his lips coldly.
At this time, the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of the Ministry of War were all dumbfounded.
The officials standing below had never seen so many silver bills. Inside the half-arm-long box, there were neatly stacked silver bills, with a silver ingot pressed on each stack. You can see the reality of the bank note underneath.
"Could it... be fake?" One of them asked.
"No." Someone looked at the ticket stubs. These were bank notes from a big bank, and he could tell the authenticity from the fake.
Hearing this, everyone else covered their mouths: "So, does the Empress really have so much money? And it's all paid for by the army?"
The newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War stroked his beard, thought for a while, and smiled: "The person sent by the empress also said that in a few days, there will be more money twice as rich as this."
The people below were blown up, where did the empress get so much money, and she has so much money, she is not bad to say that she is rich, why is she willing to give it all?
Minister of the Ministry of War looked at the people below, raised his chin, and said, "Who is still asking for peace? Stand up now."
The people below looked at each other.
The Minister of the Ministry of War snorted softly, and said again: "Go and take out all the silver, and when you bring it back, go to the household department and those old fools for a walk, and tell them to open their eyes and see clearly!"
"Yes." Immediately, someone responded and went out with the banknotes in their hands, but some of the people underneath blushed in embarrassment, and said: "My lord, why don't we seek peace, it will be a waste of money and people."
"Confused." Minister of the Ministry of War glanced at the speaker, squinted his eyes, and suddenly said: "Did you go along with Master Huang when he pointed out that the empress in the palace was fake a while ago?"
The man immediately knelt down: "My lord, I'm just..."
"Okay, don't talk about it, you can either go home on vacation, or see the current situation clearly." Minister of the Ministry of War said.
"But why is the emperor a woman..."
"This woman is more useful than you. If you marry all your daughters into the palace, can you go bankrupt and give so much money to the court?" Minister of the Ministry of War snorted softly.
The people below quickly lowered their heads, and the Minister of the Ministry of War seemed still not relieved, and said again: "You guys, I won't say anything about the young ones. In this officialdom, it is important to be cautious, but those who rely on the old to sell the old, don't say I didn't remind you, Your Majesty." The money in the national treasury is taken from the people and used by the people, and this world was brought down by him himself, and you still want to fool the emperor with your tricks, so be careful of your own black hat." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and sent people away. They all drove off.
After they all left, they looked at Lord Luo, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who came out from the inside. The two old friends met and greeted each other. It's confusing."
"The empress and the emperor are not ordinary people. I saw this with my own eyes." When Master Luo recalled the past, he really sighed.
"Yes, in the future, I need you to remind me more, old friend, so as not to make me confused." Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said.
Master Luo smiled, this matter is over.
Soon, there were more than twice as many officers and soldiers patrolling the capital at night, and the people felt a lot more secure, but some people really had trouble sleeping.
In a certain courtyard, someone was plotting to escape, and before they could go out with their bags on their backs, they were stopped by Jiang Qingshu.
Jiang Qingshu looked at the cowering man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and smiled lightly: "Long time no see."
When the people on the ground heard this familiar voice, they raised their heads in astonishment, and when they saw that it was Jiang Qingshu, they paused first, and then quickly apologized with a smile: "It turned out to be Xiao Jiang. For the sake of our acquaintance, please forgive me." pass me."
"Forgive you? Why?" Jiang Qingshu asked him back, his tone was not salty, and he didn't seem to be angry at all.
The people below mustered up their courage before they smiled and said, "Back then you and your mother lived in my house, and I made you delay the rent for a long time, right, and I didn't drive you two out to let you drink the northwest wind... ..."
Jiang Qingshu raised the corners of his mouth ironically, the reason why he didn't drive him away at the beginning was all because the rent had doubled, until the young lady came for the first time and gave him money for him.
He didn't kill him right away, but still said flatly: "Give you a chance to confess everyone, and I will spare you, otherwise, I will put you on the meat grinder and grind you bit by bit... "
The man turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground and began to beg for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
Only then did Jiang Qingshu look at him coldly, and when he was frightened enough to confess everyone, he immediately took people to arrest him.
Such an urgent search and arrest operation lasted for seven or eight days. During these seven or eight days, a total of hundreds of people were arrested, and they were from all walks of life. They usually looked very normal and even a little pitiful. I searched the capital and couldn't find it.
After the past few days, the people in the capital had checked almost everything. When Yan Shisan saw Lin Jinhua, she was standing by the lake feeding the fish. Although she was exactly the same as Xin Yi, they felt completely different.Xin Yi's evil spirit was exposed and couldn't be hidden, but Lin Jinhua looked like a fairy who was indifferent to the world. His arm fed the Gu worms without changing expression.
"Things are almost done..."
"It's almost there." Lin Jinhua smiled slightly, looked at the colorful koi in the lake, and said, "Hero Yan, since we know that there are still people alive, our deal is not considered complete."
"but……"
"Hero Yan is in a hurry to leave the capital?" Lin Jinhua asked him.
Standing by the lake, Yan Shisan could still see his own reflection in the clear water.
The refreshing wind blew by, and the willow branches hanging by the lake slowly swayed. He was silent for a while before saying, "I'm going to find someone."
"Who?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Yan Shisan snorted softly, still not paying attention to Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua knew that his temper was that he would not look back until he bumped into the south wall, and he forgot in a blink of an eye after hitting the south wall.
She turned to look at him and said, "What are you still hiding for Xin Yi?"
Yan Shisan's palms tightened slightly: "I don't know what you're talking about, she already found out that I betrayed her, so she won't let me go."
"No, you are not restrained by Xin Yi. You are under Wu Ya's orders. Mr. Wu Ya rescued Xin Yi, so you also know that you have to protect Xin Yi's last remaining power, right." Lin Jinhua looked at him with a slight smile.
Yan Shisan didn't know how this person was so smart, he seemed to be able to read minds.
He frowned slightly: "So, you won't take out the Gu worms in my body? Even if I can easily kill you now..."
Yan Shisan hadn't finished speaking when a strange flute sounded, his whole body froze, a tingling pain came from his body, and then his heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, making him break out in cold sweat instantly, his throat It was as if someone had caught him, and he couldn't breathe, so he could only grab his own neck and stare at Lin Jinhua viciously.
Lin Jinhua smiled faintly: "Can you kill Ben Gong?"
Yan Shisan gritted his teeth tightly, and finally shook his head, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly. He looked back, only to find a palace lady in blue standing on the bridge not far away, holding a bone flute, indifferently look this way.
Lin Jinhua glanced at Mo Hua lightly, Mo Hua understood, turned and left.
Lin Jinhua then turned around, sprinkled all the fish food in her hand into the water, and said, "Either tell me where the rest of the people are, or let my Gu king give birth to thousands of small Gu worms in your body." .”
"You..." Yan Shisan managed to recover, and then looked at Lin Jinhua who was turning sideways. The wind blew her white hair against her indifferent side face, and her star-like eyes were full of ice.
He held back his anger and said: "Since you guessed that everything was done by Wu Ya, why bother to make things difficult for me instead of looking for him?"
Lin Jinhua smiled: "To make things difficult for you, he will come to the door. Besides, if you didn't want to kill me, how could I catch you?" After finishing speaking, Lin Jinhua turned and walked towards the covered bridge. Yan Shisan looked at her face. Looking at the back, thinking about the cold worms that seem to be wandering in the body now, he finally said: "Are you sure you want to know who the last person is?"
"Who?"
"Someone you know." Yan Shisan was about to speak when she saw her stop, and then heard someone pass: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zheng is asking to see you."
Ever since Zheng Jiaojiao's disappointing phoenix husband, Xue Wenqian, was imprisoned for attacking the prince and princess, Zheng Jiaojiao reconciled with him, so outsiders no longer call her Mrs. Xue, but Mrs. Zheng up.
But this was the first time that she came to see her suddenly. Lin Jinhua thought that she was pregnant before...
After thinking for a while, he said, "Ask her to wait in the hall."
After finishing speaking, just as she was about to leave, she found Yan Shisan who was standing on the side looking at her with complicated eyes.
Lin Jinhua paused slightly, a little in disbelief, but still asked him, "Is it her?"
Yan Shisan didn't expect Zheng Jiaojiao to come to the door by herself, so he sighed and said, "I didn't say anything, and I didn't betray Wuya, don't die, even if you are going to die, take the Gu worms in my body first." .” After speaking, he turned his head and left.
Lin Jinhua looked at the back of him leaving, her eyes darkened slightly.
How could it be Zheng Jiaojiao?She is now pregnant, and although her scumbag husband was imprisoned, but for Zheng Qiong's sake, she has never issued an order to punish her, so she has no reason to betray herself.
Lin Jinhua looked at Yan Shisan's back, then glanced at Mo Xue on one side, Mo Xue understood, and immediately followed Yan Shisan's back quietly, Lin Jinhua then went to the front hall.
At this moment, Zheng Jiaojiao was already waiting, her face was a little anxious, she kept looking out with her big belly, and only clenched her teeth slightly when she saw Lin Jinhua coming over.
