Queen's Development

Chapter 126 Revenge
Hao Chunping, the treasurer of Yibao Building, was waiting for Lin Jia in the outer study. Seeing Lin Jia coming in, he hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I've seen you, sir!"

Lin Jia smiled slightly, and asked Hao Chunping to sit down on the yellow rosewood armchair on the right, and then told about Yuzhi's kidnapping.

Hao Chunping sat upright on the armchair and listened attentively. After Lin Jia finished speaking, he got up and said, "My lord, I need to borrow someone from you!"

Lin Jia was in a good mood because Yu Zhi returned home, and said with a smile, "Who do you want?"

Hao Chunping respectfully said: "Alan who is beside my lord has tracked down these thugs, and my subordinates ask my lord to let Alan assist me!"

It's not a big deal, Lin Jia naturally agreed.

After sending Hao Chunping away, Lin Jia was about to go to the military camp outside the city, and was about to leave when Ah Qing reported back and forth: "My lord, Han Zhipeng, the Gyeonggi defense envoy, Mr. Han, please see me!"

Lin Jia heard this, thought for a while, and said, "Master Han, please come in!"

The Gyeonggi Defense Envoy was his immediate boss, so Lin Jia naturally had to be perfunctory.

Han Zhipeng followed the servant of the Lin family to the outer study, and immediately saw Lin Jia who was standing on the porch to welcome him.

He walked a few steps quickly and greeted him with a spring breeze on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Lin!"

Lin Jia smiled and greeted Han Zhipeng, and led Han Zhipeng into the outer study.

After the guests and hosts were divided and sat down, Han Zhipeng chatted with Lin Jia very sincerely.

While chatting with Han Zhipeng, Lin Jia smiled and observed Han Zhipeng.

Han Zhipeng is of medium build and thin. He looks like a shrewd and capable person.

While Lin Jia was looking at Han Zhipeng, Han Zhipeng was also looking at Lin Jia.

The first time he met Lin Jia was at the court meeting on New Year's Day this year. Emperor Yongtai introduced Lin Jia and Lin Lun to the important officials in the court.

All the ministers are smart people, so they naturally know what Emperor Yongtai thinks - among the two nephews, Emperor Yongtai prefers Lin Jia, the eldest son of Xingping County King.

Lin Jia was born with phoenix eyes and red lips, handsome and tall, very similar to Emperor Yongtai when he was young, and his personality is also very stable. Except for his weaker body, he is indeed the best candidate for the heir to the throne.

It's a pity that Han Zhipeng belongs to the Queen's faction, and the heir to the throne supported by the Queen's Empress is Lin Lun, the concubine of King Ding'an.

Han Zhipeng had no choice but to support Lin Lun!

After chatting for a while, Han Zhipeng said goodbye and left.

After sending Han Zhipeng back, Lin Jia took out an envelope from the desk drawer, took out a few sheets of paper and unfolded it.

At the beginning of the first page, there is such a line of words-"Gyeonggi defense envoy Han Zhipeng, a native of Linde, Suzhou, and a disciple of the Zhu family in the northwest".

Lin Jia smiled coldly and put the letter back in the drawer.

At this moment, Ah Qing reported outside: "My lord, Mr. Han is here!"

When Lin Jia heard this, her phoenix eyes sparkled, and she immediately said, "I'll go out to meet you right now!"

The 76-year-old Prince Taifu and Minister of Rites, Han Li, was sent by Emperor Yongtai to be his teacher. He has been teaching him patiently. Lin Jia respects her teacher very much.

As soon as Lin Jia left, Yuzhi called Han Lin in, and asked in a low voice, "Did you not get hurt yesterday?"

Han Lin's nose was sour, and his eyes immediately became moist.

She looked at Yuzhi with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, the slave is fine. It's the slave who failed to protect the aunt..."

Seeing her feeling so guilty, Yuzhi quickly comforted her with a smile: "It's fine as long as you're fine, my lord will rescue me soon, and I'm not hurt!"

Hearing this, Han Lin smiled with tears in his eyes.

Yu Zhi took a sip of the tea cup and said with a smile, "It's just that we can't go out easily in the future!"

With lingering fear in his heart, Han Lin said: "Auntie, let's go out with the adults in the future, I really didn't expect the capital city to be so scary!"

Yuzhi laughed.

Having nothing to do in the morning, Yu Zhi went to study in the inner study.

When she read about the reforms during the Wenxi reign of the previous dynasty, she was a little confused about the reasons for the failure of the reforms, so she kept it in her heart and prepared to ask Lin Jia when Lin Jia came back.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Yuzhi was taking notes, when she heard Jin'er calling "Auntie" outside, she said without raising her head, "I'm in the study, come in!"

Jin'er walked in with a smile, and said, "Auntie, brother Ah Cheng came over just now and said that the adults are going to listen to Songyuan for lunch!"

Yuzhi finished writing the last stroke, and looked up at Jin'er: "The beef soup and crispy yellow dumplings made with taro that the small kitchen sent last time, adults think they are very good, in addition to today's regular dishes, I will give adults Let’s add a bowl of beef soup and a plate of taro to make crispy yellow dumplings!”

Jin'er agreed with a smile, and went to the small kitchen to find her mother to pass on the message.

Lin Jia really came back at noon.

After washing his hands, he asked Yuzhi, "Have you applied medicine to the wound?"

Yuzhi glanced at him, remembering the matter of applying the medicine last night, her pretty face blushed slightly, she lowered her head and said, "I asked Han Lin to help me apply the medicine!"

Lin Jia saw that Yuzhi's eyes were watery, she couldn't help but felt a move in her heart, said "oh", and didn't say anything else, in fact, she felt very regretful.

After lunch, Lin Jia rinsed her mouth with tea and went to the inner study.

Yu Zhi hurriedly followed and waited for Lin Jia to sit down in front of the desk. While massaging Lin Jia's shoulders, she asked Lin Jia: "Ajia, I have a problem with my study today!"

Lin Jia's slender fingers tapped on the desk and said, "Speak!"

Yu Zhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The reforms during the Wenxi period of the previous dynasty can obviously get rid of all kinds of abuses in the court, why are the ministers opposing it?"

Lin Jia's expression became serious, and he said slowly: "Because those ministers own a lot of land, the reform has shaken their interests."

Yu Zhi thought for a moment, then said: "Then... how can we get them to support the reform?"

Lin Jiafeng looked deeply at the bisque beauty goblet placed on the yellow rosewood table in front of her, and said in a clear voice, "If you want these vested interests to support the reform, you need at least the following points: First, the reformers have the right to the government. control; the second is to use the imperial examination system to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families, so that the elite among the common people can enter the decision-making level; the third is..."

Yuzhi moved the Zhangjin stool, sat down beside the desk, and listened to Lin Jia's story with her hands resting on her chest.

She felt that Lin Jia was too smart and knew everything.

Lin Jia saw Yu Zhi's big eyes looking at her brightly, full of admiration, and she was delighted, so she said, "Yu Zhi, do you like to study these things very much?"

Yuzhi nodded again and again: "Yes!"

Lin Jia lowered her eyes and said, "If you make me happy by serving me, I will allow you to pretend to be a servant when Mr. Han comes to teach me in the future."

When Yuzhi heard this, she was so happy that she almost jumped up.

She immediately got up and approached Lin Jia's cheek, kissed her hard, and let out a "chirp".

Lin Jiajun blushed, stretched out his hand to touch his left cheek, glanced at Yuzhi, and said hoarsely: "There is still the right side!"

Yuzhi loves reading books the most, as long as Lin Jia is willing to let her sit in on the world-famous Han Li's lectures, she can do whatever she wants.

Without hesitation, she cupped Lin Jia's face with both hands and moved closer.

Lin Jia thought that Yuzhi was going to kiss her on the mouth, and suddenly her phoenix eyes were wet, and she couldn't help meeting her.

Yuzhi secretly smiled inwardly, leaned towards Lin Jia's right cheek and "chirped", and let go of Lin Jia.

Lin Jia: "..."

Although he felt a little regretful, he still agreed to Yuzhi's request and said, "Mr. Rihan will come over tomorrow, you can change your outfit and go with me!"

Yuzhi agreed, with a flattering face: "My lord, I'll order you a cup of Osmanthus osmanthus pine nut nut tea that you like most!"

Seeing Yu Zhi hastily opened the gauze curtain on the inner study door and went out, Lin Jia couldn't help smiling.

Liang Yingyu and her two younger sisters were doing needlework in the mother's room when the maid Jiaorui came in and said, "Miss, Mama Wang wants to see you!"

Hearing that Liang Yingyu's face was a little pale, she continued to get the needle and said, "I'm busy, let Wang Mama go home first!"

Mama Wang's son, Wang Rui, helped her kidnap Yuzhi yesterday. It was originally agreed that there would be news in the evening, but it has been a day and a night.

Knowing that Mama Wang came to ask about Wang Rui, Liang Yingyu was very troubled, so she could only hold Mama Wang for the time being.

Mother Wang, who was waiting in the corridor, listened to Jiaorui's return, her heart hung there, and she whispered: "Jiaorui, go and talk to the girl again, there has been no news about Wang Rui, I can't eat or drink, A heart has been hanging on—"

Jiaorui looked around and saw that the maids serving the wife were quite far away, so she said: "My mother, you clearly know the girl's temper, so why bother with her? Wait a few more days!"

Mother Wang had no choice but to leave with a sigh.

A few days later, when Lin Jia had just sent off his teacher Han Li, Hao Chunping from Yibao Building came with two cronies.

Hao Chunping saluted Lin Jia first, and then said: "My lord, my subordinates have found out the result."

Lin Jia straightened her back and looked at Hao Chunping when she heard this, "What's going on?"

Hao Chunping thought for a while, organized his language, and then began to report: "My lord, this subordinate led people to search Wild Boar Ridge first, found the wreckage of the carriage, and also found two corpses. From these two corpses, my subordinate We started to investigate and found that one of them was Wang Rui, the son of the nanny of Liang Yingyu, the eldest daughter of Liang Yongming, Minister of War, and the other was Liu En, the head of the beggars' guild in Beijing, and Wang Rui's friend!"

When Lin Jia heard the words, she already understood in her heart, and looked at Hao Chunping with deep eyes, waiting for Hao Chunping's next words.

Hao Chunping was a little nervous when Lin Jia saw it, so he calmed down and continued: "The subordinates continued to investigate and found Liu En's godson, the little beggar Li Gouzi, and learned that Wang Rui was ordered by Liang Yingyu, the eldest daughter of the Liang family. Bring 200 taels of silver to find Liu En, and must destroy Aunt Yu."

After all, he looked up at Lin Jia, waiting for Lin Jia's instructions.

Lin Jia thought for a long time, and then said: "Using the same method, return it to the other body. Let's do it to Liang Yingyu as she does. But it can't be now, and we will talk about it after two months when she loses her vigilance. "

Hao Chunping answered "Yes".

Lin Jia continued: "When kidnapping Liang Yingyu, we must be careful not to reveal any clues, but about Liang Yingyu's kidnapping, we must make a big splash and let everyone in the capital know that Miss Liang has been kidnapped!"

Hao Chunping answered "yes" and went to carry it out.

Lin Jia slowly leaned back on the back of the precious chair behind her, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.

Yuzhi is his, but Liang Yingyu is trying to destroy Yuzhi, so he will destroy Liang Yingyu!
Two days later, there was still no news from Wang Rui.

Liang Yingyu then called Hu Gui, a young servant, to come in, and said, "Go outside the Lin Mansion in Yanqingfang and inquire to see if the Lin Mansion's aunt, Yu Shi, is in the mansion!"

Hu Gui agreed, took the one tael of silver from Liang Yingyu and returned it.

It was not until the evening of the second day that Hu Gui came back to report: "Miss, Master Lin rode out of the city this afternoon to buy a property. There was a carriage in the team, and the slave followed him outside the city. It turned out that Master Lin took jade with him. Auntie went to see Bieye by the canal outside the city, and what they saw was the Bieye Cuihuzhuang of Qiao Renzhi, the Minister of Rites."

Liang Yingyu frowned when she heard that, "Did Master Lin finally buy Cuihuzhuang?"

She knew Liang Yumei, daughter of Liang Renzhi, who had attended the Lotus Flower Festival at Green Lake Manor. She knew that Green Lake Manor was facing the canal and had a beautiful view. She never thought that the Liang family would be reduced to selling Green Lake Manor.

Hu Gui hurriedly said: "Miss Qi, the servant has been guarding until the end. I heard from the real estate agent that he has bought it. Mr. Lin gave it to Aunt Yu directly, and has gone to Jingzhaoyin Yamen to register for the record!"

Liang Yingyu was extremely angry in her heart, she bit her lip and sat there furiously, wishing to tear Yuzhi into pieces.

But she knew that she had touched Yuzhi just now, and Lin Jia was probably very vigilant, so she tried her best to restrain herself, and planned to do it after a while.

As soon as Hu Gui left, Ms. Wang came again and asked Liang Yingyu tearfully, "Girl, what happened to Wang Rui?"

Liang Yingyu was almost bored to death, but she comforted Mama Wang with a smile on her face and sent Mama Wang away.

As soon as Mama Wang left, Liang Yingyu called the housekeeper Liang Gui over, and said, "Mama Wang is getting more and more confused, I won't keep her anymore, go and call Sister-in-Law Qin, and ask her to sell Mama Wang to... ...Go to Liaozhou, I'll find her ten taels of silver!"

Surprised, Liang Gui answered "yes" and went to find Mrs. Qin.

That night, Wang's mother was gagged and tied up with rope, and sent out overnight, and was sent to the boat to Liaozhou the next morning, and went to Liaozhou along the waterway.

Without Mama Wang's nagging, Liang Yingyu finally felt much more at ease.

In the blink of an eye, it was March.

Liang Yingyu had nothing to do that day, so she took Jiaorui and Xiuzhu to Yanqingfang for shopping in a carriage.
