Lin Wanrong was stunned. 'Why is it this news again? Young Cousin bought it with money, where did Si De hear it? ' He looked at Si De with a puzzled look: "You went to look for boy's urine, how did you find such important news?"
Si De smiled flatteringly: "This news has already spread in Jin Ling city. As soon as I heard it, I hurried back to inform Third Brother and Young Master. In my opinion, it's better to believe it than not. Third Brother and Young Master are outstanding and unparalleled. With the two of you taking action, wouldn't Miss Luo be a piece of cake? "
Young Cousin shook his head in a serious manner: "I only participated in this event with the attitude of learning from each other and helping each other. Don't think that I'm so unbearable."
Everyone in Jin Ling city knows about this matter? Fuck, is that girl Luo Ning playing with me? It doesn't seem like it. When she hugged me, she held me very tightly. Besides, with my charm, once she falls into my pocket, how can she run away? This is really f * cking strange.
You don't want the things that are given to you, but when others take them back, you are a little tempted. All men are like this, I am a real man, of course I am no exception. Lin Wanrong was a little unhappy. He hurriedly found an excuse to comfort himself. When he was about to go out, he saw Xiao Feng running over while panting: "Brother Lin, brother Lin, bad news, bad news."
"What's wrong now?" Lin Wanrong snappily said: "Brother Xiao Feng, don't panic when you encounter something, the saints have taught you."
Xiao Feng stood still, took a few deep breaths and said: "Brother Lin, Cheng Daren has sent troops to arrest people."
Cheng Daren? Cheng De? Lin Wanrong was startled and said: "Arrest people? Arrest what people? "
Xiao Feng anxiously said, "They said that our Xiao Family participated in the fight in the city last night and want to take us back for interrogation. Right now Young Master Cheng is waiting in the main hall with his men. The Grand Mistress is arguing with them. "
"Young Master Cheng? Cheng Ruinian? Did he bring people here? "Lin Wanrong snorted and asked.
"That's him!" Xiao Feng said bitterly, "The Grand Mistress asked me to find Third Brother. She told you not to go out and let her handle everything. If there's anything, we'll talk about it after today."
Let her do what she wants? This silly girl, did she think that this matter would be so easy to handle? Damn it, this Cheng Ruinian was clearly here to cause trouble. I'm not in a good mood today, so I'll go meet him.
"Four Virtues, put down your virgin urine. Brother Xiao Feng, let's go." Four Virtues threw the virgin urine on the ground. Lin Wanrong laughed mischievously and led the two people straight to the main hall.
The Young Cousin quickly threw the book to the side and caught up with them in big strides. He loudly said: "Lin San, do you want to fight? I'll go with you. You protect me. "
You're really shameless. I despise you. Lin Wanrong raised his middle finger at the Young Cousin. He pondered for a moment, then pulled Four Virtues over and whispered a few words in his ear. Four Virtues listened and nodded repeatedly. "Third Brother, you've found the right person to let me handle this matter. I'll make sure it's done properly. "The two of them laughed heartily.
Before they even got close to the main hall, they heard a man's sneering voice: "Lady Xiao, your Xiao Family's servants participated in the fight in the city last night. Someone saw it with their own eyes. How can you deny it?"
The Grand Mistress said: "Young Master Cheng, I've repeated it many times. Last night, someone wanted to invade my Xiao Family's old residence and destroy my Xiao Family's workshop. My Xiao Family's people, in order to protect our family property, fought back against the robbers. Moreover, Miss Tao Wanying of Jin Ling prefecture was present and saw it with her own eyes. My Xiao Family was also helpless to defend themselves. How can you say it was a fight? "
Cheng Ruinian snorted. "You said it was self-defense, so it was self-defense? Gathering a crowd to fight, injuring and crippling people, someone saw it with their own eyes. You can't quibble today even if you want to. Since the Grand Mistress is not willing to hand over the culprit, then I have no choice but to offend you. Come, bring the Grand Mistress back to the Commander's yamen. "
"Slow down, slow down." Lin Wanrong grinned as he walked into the main hall. He looked around and said in surprise: "Oh, so many people, it's so lively."
The Grand Mistress saw him come in and her expression became anxious. She hurriedly signaled him with her eyes. Lin Wanrong pretended not to see it. He glanced at Cheng Ruinian and saw that this brat was standing in the Xiao Family's main hall with a dozen or so bodyguards, showing off their military prowess and arrogance.
Seeing Lin Wanrong, Cheng Ruinian snorted and said: "Lin San, do you still recognize me?"
"I'm standing too close, so I can't see clearly." Lin Wanrong chuckled and took a few steps back to stand beside the Grand Mistress before saying: "This Young Master is so tall, fierce, and extraordinarily handsome. He also looks somewhat familiar. I wonder which family this Young Master is from!"
"How dare you!" One of Cheng Ruinian's bodyguards shouted: "This is the son of Commander Cheng De Daren, Young Master Cheng Ruinian. You're just a lowly servant, what right do you have to interrupt? Hurry up and scram to the side. "
Lin Wanrong chuckled: "I was wondering why you looked so familiar. So it's Young Master Cheng, my apologies for not recognizing you. Why haven't I seen Young Master Cheng go to Myo Yuk Square in the past few days? This little brother wanted to talk more with you. "
At the mention of Myo Yuk Square, Cheng Ruinian's old and new grudges were stirred up. A fierce expression flashed across his face as he said: "Lin San, I won't talk to you about these useless things today. The Xiao Family participated in a fight in the city yesterday, and you were the mastermind. Come, bring Lin San and Lady Xiao back to the yamen. "
Lin San was shocked: "Fight? Where did this come from? We're all good citizens. Yesterday's incident was a catastrophe for our Xiao Family. Look at this brother of ours — "Lin Wanrong pointed at the four Virtues. The four Virtues cooperated and raised their heads, revealing the bruises on their faces:" Those thieves entered our Xiao Residence and didn't say anything. They smashed and chopped everything they saw. This brother of ours almost lost his life. Our Xiao Family's belongings were destroyed, our workshop was smashed, and we lost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Young Master Cheng, why are you pointing fingers and saying that our Xiao Family fought? This is really a great injustice. "
Cheng Ruinian sneered: "Is it an injustice to say that you fought? I have witnesses at the scene. Come, bring the witnesses —"
As he spoke, a skinny, shifty-eyed fellow rushed into the hall. He cupped his fists at Cheng Ruinian and said flatteringly: "This lowly one, Chen Xiaosong, greets Young Master Cheng."
Cheng Ruinian nodded and said: "Chen Xiaosong, repeat what you saw yesterday in front of everyone. Remember, you must tell the truth."
The witness Chen Xiaosong nodded, but before he could say anything, he saw the four Virtues pointing at Chen Xiaosong with a trembling finger. The four Virtues' eyes were filled with monstrous anger. He wanted to open his mouth, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak. Under his anger, his body trembled and fell backward.
Lin Wanrong reacted quickly and hurriedly supported him. "Si De, Si De, what's wrong with you? My good brother, what happened to you? You can't die. "
"It's him, it's him —" The four Virtues slowly opened his eyes. His face was deathly pale. He fiercely looked at the witness with eyes full of anger and loudly said: "Third Brother, Grand Mistress, last night, it was this person who rushed into the Xiao Family to smash and rob. Here, here, and here —" The four Virtues pointed at himself from head to toe and sorrowfully said: "They were all beaten by him. He also used a knife to cut me and almost took my life. You heartless beast, you harmed my Xiao Family and you still want to kill me. I'll fight you — "
A few drops of fake tears appeared in the four Virtues' eyes. Lin Wanrong secretly gave him a thumbs up, but his face was full of grief. He hastily pulled the four Virtues back and said: "Brother, don't be anxious. This murderer, we will definitely take care of him. Xiao Feng, quickly go to the Jin Ling government office and report to the authorities. Tell them that we saw the robber who rushed into the Xiao Fu last night and attacked people with a knife. The four Virtues, write down his portrait and later tell the painting master in the government office so that after he escapes, he can be handed over to the authorities for arrest. You murderer, there was a road to heaven but you didn't take it. There was no door to hell but you rushed in. Let's see where you can escape today. "
The witness hadn't even said anything when a basin of dirty water was splashed on his head. How could he bear it? He anxiously said: "You're talking nonsense, I didn't kill anyone. The person who cut you was Brother Long. Yesterday, he led the team to rush in. I was on the lookout outside and didn't enter the Xiao Family at all. "
"Oh —" Lin Wanrong, the four Virtues, Xiao Feng, and the Young Cousin shouted together: "The person who cut people was Brother Long. You were in charge of being on the lookout. Understood. Then where did Brother Long go? "
"Brother Long is in Official Cheng's fu —" The witness wanted to say more but was interrupted by Cheng Ruinian's violent cough. Cheng Ruinian angrily looked at the witness: "Chen Xiaosong, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Oh, understood!" Lin Wanrong laughed and said to Cheng Ruinian: "Young Master Cheng, we understand. Do you understand?"
Cheng Ruinian's face was ashen and he didn't say a word. The Grand Mistress also saw some clues. She looked at Cheng Ruinian and sneered: "Young Master Cheng, is this the witness you brought? But coincidentally, the witness you found is the culprit who smashed my Xiao Family's house last night. He admitted it himself. Men — "
The Grand Mistress shouted. Xiao Feng, the four Virtues, and the others hurriedly said: "This little one is here!"
Xiao Yuruo coldly snorted. She stretched out her slender jade-like finger and pointed at Chen Xiaosong: "Arrest this thief and send him to the Jin Ling government office for investigation."
At this time, the four Virtues no longer looked dispirited. They were full of energy and were about to rush forward with Xiao Feng and the others. However, they heard Cheng Ruinian say: "Audacious! I want to see who dares?"
Lin Wanrong laughed: "Young Master Cheng, I am a naturally timid person. Don't scare me."
The Grand Mistress raised her eyebrows and said in a sweet voice: "Young Master Cheng, today you brought a witness to my mansion to arrest someone. The crime is that my Xiao Family participated in the fight. But just now, everyone saw that you, the witness, personally admitted that he was the thief who participated in the attack on my Xiao Family last night. Why can't we arrest him? Could it be that Young Master Cheng also wants to protect him? Young Master Cheng is so aggressive and you want to protect a private party. Although my Xiao Family is weak, we can't be bullied. I will go with you to see the officials. "
"Right and wrong are complicated. It can't be explained clearly in a few words. The court will have a verdict. You should go with me. When we return to the Commander's office, give a good explanation. "Cheng Ruinian snorted.
He signaled the bodyguards behind him with his eyes. The bodyguards rushed forward to grab the Grand Mistress and Lin Wanrong. Even though Eldest Miss had a thousand reasons, Cheng Ruinian was deliberately looking for trouble. How could she allow herself to reason with him? She was shocked and angry at the same time. Just as she was about to shout, Cheng Ruinian tugged at her sleeve and smiled.
Xiao Yuruo looked at him. Her heart calmed down and she didn't struggle. The bodyguards were like wolves and tigers. Just as they were about to touch the corner of the Grand Mistress's clothes, they suddenly heard Lin Wanrong slam the table and shout: "Cheng Ruinian, how dare you!"
His shout was sudden and carried a trace of internal energy. It was like a roar that shook the heavens. Cheng Ruinian's face turned pale and he sat down on the chair.
"Lin San, you … what are you doing?" Seeing the cold smile on Lin Wanrong's face and looking at him with disdain, Cheng Ruinian felt guilty and stammered.
"What am I doing? I should be the one asking you what you're doing! " Lin Wanrong smiled darkly: "You brought soldiers and trespassed into the Xiao Fu to capture people. Could it be that you're plotting a rebellion?"
With this accusation, even a stone man wouldn't be able to sit still. The restless soldiers quickly stopped moving. They looked at each other and didn't dare to take another step forward.
"Rebellion?" Cheng Ruinian was greatly alarmed and his heart was thumping madly. He could no longer sit still and jumped up from his chair. He stammered, "What rebellion? Lin San, you, you, you have big guts."
Lin San chuckled: "Cheng Ruinian, my Young Master Cheng, I said you're plotting a rebellion. Do you think I'm wrong about you?"
Everyone in the hall was so scared that no one dared to speak. This accusation of Lin Wanrong was too frightening. No one could stand it. Cheng Ruinian's face paled. "Lin San, don't slander me. Be careful, or I'll take you to the officials."
Lin Wanrong snorted disdainfully: "Take me to the officials? Young Master Cheng, at least you have some memory. You know you're not an official. To put it bluntly, Young Master Cheng, although you have the Commander as your father, don't forget your own identity. You have neither an official position nor a scholarly title. Just like me, you're just a commoner. "
"Hehe, a commoner brought troops belonging to the imperial court into the Human Pavilion to rob, kidnap, kill, and steal. And the robbers weren't just any commoner. They were the descendants of Cabinet Elder Xiao. Who was Cabinet Elder Xiao? He was the Emperor's bestowed title of Mr. Wen De. The plaque with the words written by the Emperor still hangs above the door of the Xiao Family. Who would dare to be presumptuous in front of his residence? However, we've seen it today. Young Master Cheng, you openly despised the Emperor and brought troops to kill your way in. Hehe, you must have had a great time killing them. To say that you're not rebelling against the Emperor is simply unreasonable! Hehe, you're very good. Very arrogant. Much more arrogant than me. "
These words caused Si De and Xiao Feng's foreheads to roll with cold sweat. Third Brother, from a small operation to capture people, had eloquently quoted the classics and pushed this dog fart Cheng Ruinian to the gallows for rebellion. He was truly a genius. The Grand Mistress glanced at him and sighed in her heart. With this person's eloquence, it would be a waste if he didn't go on diplomatic missions.
The Young Cousin listened to his heart's content. He gave Lin San a thumbs up and said: "Lin San, you're a true god!" I'm the God of Deception. Lin Wanrong laughed to himself.
Cheng Ruinian's whole body was drenched in cold sweat. He didn't think that when he came to capture people, he would be given such a big label. If this matter was known by his father, what would happen?
"Lin San, you have such a sharp tongue." Cheng Ruinian gritted his teeth and said: "These soldiers are my family, not my troops!"
"Even your family members wear armor? Are you secretly raising troops? " Lin Wanrong's eyes widened even more: "That's even worse. Young Master Cheng, you're prepared to walk the dark path. Ai, turn back soon. May Buddha bless you. "
When it came to bickering, who in the world could be Lin San's opponent? Cheng Ruinian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and hurriedly explained: "No, no, they're infantry troops. I'm only temporarily borrowing them." In his anxiety, Cheng Ruinian's speech was already incoherent.
"Infantry troops, temporarily transferred. Oh, I understand." "Young Master Cheng," Lin Wanrong said with a cold laugh, "even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if our Xiao family really did participate in the fight, it is not your Commander's office's turn to handle it. This is a local affair, not a military affair. It should be handled by the Jinling government office or the Governor's office. The Commander is only in charge of a province's military affairs. He can't interfere in politics and is controlled by the Governor. This is a rule of the imperial court to prevent people from using their military power to rebel. Now, not only did you privately transfer the cavalry and infantry troops, but you also interfered in local affairs. You also trespassed into the Xiao Family and provoked the Emperor's prestige. Tsk tsk, if this news were to spread to the Ministry of War, to the Censor, and to the Emperor's ears … Ai, this is a taboo. Young Master Cheng, I don't want to criticize you, but your heart is a little too big. "
Lin Wanrong's face was full of sympathy. He patted Cheng Ruinian's shoulder: "Brother Cheng, my condolences."
Damn it, I'll scare you to death. Lin Wanrong laughed evilly: "Heh heh heh, it feels good to put the blame on others." Destroying the enemy physically is good, but destroying the enemy spiritually is the highest level. I'm heading in this direction. But today's matter is also very strange. With that old fox Cheng De, why would he send his own son to cause trouble? It's likely that this Cheng brat secretly came to find trouble behind his father's back.
Cheng Ruinian's face was pale and he couldn't say a word. He was originally an idiot, even worse than the crippled Tao Dongcheng. That day in Myo Yuk Square, when he was jealous of Qin Xian 'er, Lin Wanrong already had his eyes on him.
Grand Mistress pulled his sleeve and said softly: "You, this person, always like to make up excuses. It sounds very scary. "
Lin Wanrong laughed mischievously: "Grand Mistress, this is not scary. The power struggle of the imperial court is thousands of times more serious than this. Take today's matter for example. In our opinion, this Cheng brat arresting people without reason seems to be a small matter. But if it falls into the hands of an old fox with ulterior motives, he will certainly magnify this matter infinitely, elevating it to the level of the country and the nation. Just like what I said just now, when this memorial is submitted, it's actually a very simple matter. From the memorial, the Emperor will see that it's moving troops without permission, interfering with the court's affairs, despising the imperial power. My goodness, when all these things are added together, how can it be? Let me tell you, when the Emperor sees impeachment memorials, it's always like this. Therefore, deceiving the Emperor is the easiest. "
Grand Mistress covered her lips and laughed, her cheeks blushing, her eyes revealing a soft light. She said softly: "Who are you calling an old fox? I think you are a hundred percent a little fox. If you want to deceive the Emperor, no one can beat you."
Grand Mistress's demeanor was incomparably flirtatious. Lin Wanrong's heart was beating rapidly. Laozi is a little fox, you are a little fox. You three sisters are all very flirtatious.
"What are you blindly looking at?" Grand Mistress lightly said, her face blushing behind her ears. She lowered her head and whispered: "Aren't you afraid that other people will see?"
"Hey, hey, I don't care about deceiving the Emperor. Deceiving a few princesses and imperial concubines is enough." Lin Wanrong teased.
Grand Mistress's countenance changed, all her flirtatious charm disappeared. She tilted her head and said: "You lowly person, don't think that I will talk to you again."
This lass, changing her face faster than flipping a book. Lin Wanrong laughed and teased the Grand Mistress for a while, but Cheng Ruinian stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Damn it, are you waiting for me to make you stay for lunch? Lin Wanrong was just about to tell Cheng Ruinian to quickly scram when he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the residence. A servant ran in, his face full of surprise, and shouted: "Grand Mistress, Third Older Brother, great news, great news."
Grand Mistress had just returned to normal, and her pretty face immediately blushed. She lightly spat. You, a servant, don't know how to speak. Who would be happy with him?
Lin Wanrong awkwardly laughed twice and said: "What great news? The time for great news hasn't arrived yet."
That servant panted and said: "Third Older Brother, great news. The prefectural magistrate, together with the governor, have come together to send a plaque to our Xiao Family."
Send to be beaten? Damn it, Lin Wanrong kicked his butt and said with a smile: "What do you mean send to be beaten? Next time, make it clear to me, it's to send a plaque."
"Yes, yes, yes, send a plaque, send a plaque!" That servant hurriedly changed his words.
Grand Mistress looked at Lin Wanrong in confusion. She seemed to be asking him, but also seemed to be talking to herself: "Lord Hou and Lord Luo are sending us a plaque? Why is this? "
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "If someone doesn't talk to me, even if I know, I won't tell her."
Grand Mistress snorted, but before she could say anything, the drums in the courtyard sounded, and a group of people walked in. At the head of the governor's mansion was Lomin's teacher, whom he had seen at the opening of the Food for Immortals. Next to him stood Luoyuan, who was smiling and bowing to Lin Wanrong.
At the head of the Jin Ling mansion was a young girl, and behind her was a group of officials. Some of them looked familiar. Lin Wanrong looked at them and laughed. Weren't these the people who fought with him on the morning of his trip to Hangzhou? Why did they take the initiative to come here today? That young girl looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled slightly, with a blush on her face.
Aiyo, why did that girl with the surname Tao come again? Didn't they finish talking yesterday? Lin Wanrong hadn't finished thinking when he heard Grand Mistress say: "Sister Wanying, what's going on?"
Tao Wanying smiled and said: "Sister Xiao Yuruo, don't ask first. You should prepare to receive the plaque."
