Lin Rong said with a smile, "If it's strange, then it's strange. Is there a need to panic like this? What the hell happened?! "
Xu Zhen gasped in excitement, his voice trembling. "I, I don't dare to say!!"
"You don't dare to say?" Lin Rong was surprised. He motioned for Qin Xian 'er to push the wheelchair forward. "General Xu, you are the commander of the city defense yamen appointed by the emperor himself. You are in charge of everything in the capital that is related to the safety of the capital region. What is there that you don't dare to say?!"
Xu Zhen was a yes-man. After a while, he said, "Sir, my position is low. I don't dare to say anything. Please take a look yourself."
He waved his hand behind him. Two soldiers worked together to carry a brocade plate. On the plate was a thin yellow satin robe. It was unknown what material it was made of. It was as smooth as flowing water and shined with a golden light. The robe had a black silk scarf, a coiled collar, and narrow sleeves. There were golden coiled dragons embroidered on the shoulders and a jade belt on the front. The robe was embroidered with dragons and other patterns.
The golden dragons on the robe had the head of a cow, the body of a snake, the horns of a deer, and the eyes of a shrimp. There were dragons, cloud dragons, round dragons, and upright dragons in different postures. It was majestic and imposing. It was such a thin robe, but two soldiers worked together to present it. It was obvious how precious it was.
Lin Wanrong said in surprise, "Hey, what a beautiful robe. It's golden, and there are so many dragons embroidered on it. It looks so familiar —"
Xu Zhen looked at him. He wanted to say something but stopped. Lin Wanrong suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now. This, this is the dragon robe worn by the emperor!!!"
Among all the people present, he was the only one who realized it. Who dared to embroider golden dragons on a yellow robe other than the emperor?! Xu Zhen nodded heavily. "Sir, it is the dragon robe!"
"The dragon robe?!" Lin Rong frowned and said in confusion, "Xu Zhen, only the emperor can wear this dragon robe. Where did you find it?"
Xu Zhen hurriedly cupped his fists, "This general does not dare to conceal the truth. This dragon robe was discovered by this general's subordinates by chance under a large tree in the garden of the Prince's Mansion. Many people present saw it with their own eyes."
"Under the big tree in the Prince's Mansion's garden?" Lin Wanrong made a strange sound. "That's strange. Why would Wangye bury a dragon robe for no reason? It's not like he can wear it. "
Gu Bingyan's expression changed when he heard this. He hurriedly shouted, "You, don't talk nonsense. This dragon robe doesn't belong to His Highness."
"Of course I know that the dragon robe doesn't belong to your highness, it only belongs to the emperor! I'm just curious. The dragon robe that should only be worn by the Emperor, how could it be buried under a tree in Wangye's garden? " Lin Wanrong laughed to himself, blinked his eyes and asked, "Mr. Gu, do you know?!"
"Someone is purposely framing us." Gu Bingyan roared, "His Highness would never do such a thing."
"Framing?" Lin Wanrong laughed coldly, "I hope so too. But what makes this lowly official feel strange is, why hasn't anyone tried to frame this lowly official? Mr. Gu, this dragon robe was dug out from the Prince's Mansion. So many people saw it, do you admit it? "
"Yes, but — —"
"Ai — —" Lin Wanrong waved his hand and interrupted him with a smile, "Mr. Gu, this matter is very important. This is a matter of great importance. You only need to answer yes or no to my questions. There is no need for you to interrupt. General Xu, please arrange for a clerk to record down Mr. Gu's words. After he's done, have him sign his name! "
"I won't sign it!" Gu Bingyan laughed coldly, "You are taking my words out of context and confusing the public. This Gu will not sign that document. "
"You won't sign it?" Lin Wanrong laughed and spread his hands. He said magnanimously, "It doesn't matter. In any case, this kind of case is not something I can handle. I just happened to be at the scene. Ah, why is His Highness burying the dragon robe under the tree? Let me think carefully. Could it be that he is putting on an act? What a waste of time. General Xu, what do you think?! "
General Lin's acting was very good. Xu Zhen held back his laughter and shook his head, "I don't understand either. Perhaps only His Highness himself can answer my questions. Sir, what should I do next? "
Lin Wanrong laughed, "General Xu, you are the commander of the city defense, you should be in charge of this matter. In my opinion, His Highness must be putting on an act. There shouldn't be any other treasures buried in this garden, right?! Oh, pretend I didn't say anything. General Xu, do as you see fit! "
Xu Zhen's eyes lit up. He hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Continue searching. Dig up this garden. If you find anything unusual, immediately report to me. Do not be negligent."
The soldiers had already gathered their strength. Hearing his order, they immediately began to dig. The shovels and pickaxes struck the ground, making clanking sounds. Not long after, there was another cry of alarm, "Sir, there's something unusual here!"
This time, they found something under a peony flower in the garden. It was a golden package buried deep under the flower. If not for Official Lin's "kind" reminder, it would have been difficult to find.
Xu Zhen hurriedly ordered someone to bring it over. The small package seemed to be somewhat heavy. It was unknown what was inside.
"Open it!" Lin Wanrong narrowed his eyes and shouted. Two soldiers carefully placed the package on the flower bed in the garden and slowly opened it.
"Ah — —" Seeing what was inside the package, everyone's eyes lit up and they all let out gasps of surprise. That thing was actually a crown. It was made of extremely thin golden threads that were woven into the shape of a winged beast. There were also two identical golden threads that were woven into the shape of a golden dragon, facing the two sides of the crown. In the middle was a fiery red pearl. Looking at the appearance of this golden crown, it was at least two catties in weight. The golden dragon on the crown danced in the air, majestic and fierce. The color was pure and it was magnificent. The craftsmanship was exquisite and incomparable.
"Wa, what a big golden dragon hat!" Lin Wanrong sighed.
Qin Xian 'er found it funny when she heard this. She helplessly rolled her eyes at him, "What golden dragon hat, this is called a golden silk crown, also known as a winged good crown. The one in the middle is called a flame pearl. It is the golden crown of my China's emperor. "
"The emperor's golden crown?" Lin Wanrong let out a long "oh" sound. He suddenly realized and then blinked a few times, "Princess, if I didn't understand incorrectly. This golden silk crown can only be worn by His Majesty. Isn't that right?! "
"Of course," Qin Xian 'er nodded and said, "If someone wears it, it will be considered a rebellion and they will be beheaded."
What a good wife. This sentence came at the right time. Lin Wanrong chuckled, "I understand. Sigh, His Highness really has a lot of things to play with. Other than the dragon robe, there is also the golden crown. My heart is beating so fast! Mister Gu, you have seen these two treasures before, right?! "
"You are framing me." Gu Bingyan's face turned pale. He anxiously said, "I have never seen these things in the palace — —"
"What?!" Lin Wanrong's face changed. He pointed at Gu Bingyan's nose and said, "Mister Gu, how dare you say that the dragon robe and the golden crown are things?! Then let me ask you something. What are these things?! "
Gu Bingyan was shocked. He immediately regretted it. With just one sentence, Lin San had caught him. In a panic, he hurriedly explained, "No, no, they are not things — —"
"What?!" Lin Wanrong sucked in a breath of cold air. He pointed at Gu Bingyan's nose and chuckled, "Mister Gu, I have always thought that I am daring. But in front of you, I have to admit that you are much more powerful than me! To think that you can say such treacherous words. Very good, very good! General Xu, do you remember these words?! "
How could Xu Zhen not understand what he meant? He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Daren. Every word and action of the people in this garden will be monitored. This general remembers it clearly, no one can deny it. "
Impossible to guard against. When it came to cunning, this was Lin San's specialty. Gu Bingyan was no match for him. Seeing that Lin San had caught him, he was no longer afraid. His face turned red and he gritted his teeth, "Lin San, are you trying to start a literary inquisition? I am not afraid of you. You framed the prince's residence and framed loyal people. I will not let you off. "
Lin Wanrong blinked and smiled, "Mister Gu, you keep saying that I framed you. May I ask what evidence do you have? Everyone saw this dragon robe and golden crown being dug out from the prince's residence. How can you blame it on me?! Mr. Gu, you have to have a conscience. Whether I framed you or not, you can't escape from the charge of slander. "
"What do I have to fear? My Gu family has been loyal for generations. My father is the Emperor's tutor. The Emperor favors me. Who have I ever feared?! " Gu Bingyan also hardened, "Although this dragon robe and golden crown were dug out from the prince's residence, what evidence do you have to prove that His Highness buried it himself? In my opinion, there must be a dirty person purposely framing me. I will report this to the Emperor. He will investigate this thoroughly and punish that dirty person. "
"Mister Gu is indeed determined. This little brother admires you." Lin Wanrong sneered, "When Mister Gu investigates the case, please do me a small favor. Find out which bastard wants to murder me. Damn it, tell this bastard to give birth to a son. His head will be bigger than his head!"
Speaking of this, his body ached again. He spat out a mouthful of saliva, his eyes red. He cursed as if he wanted to kill someone. Qin Xian 'er smiled and rolled her eyes at him, "You are a bad ruffian!"
Seeing Lin San scolding him like a ruffian, Gu Bingyan was so angry that his whole body trembled. He could not say a word.
"Sir, there is another important discovery." Xu Zhen hurriedly ran over. He held a dark green bag in his hand. He carefully opened it with an excited expression.
"What discovery!" Lin Wanrong was happy that he scolded Gu Bingyan. He stretched his neck and relaxed his nerves. He said slowly.
"Sir, look —" Xu Zhen's hands trembled slightly. He slowly opened the small bag. A faint light rose up. Everyone could only see a fluorescent light in front of them.
It was a square shaped piece of jade. It was the size of an adult's palm. It was dark green in color and had a smooth texture. In the dim light, it glowed faintly and gave off a warm feeling. On top of the jade, there were two golden dragons lying on the ground. Their heads looked back. Their abdomens were close to each other and their tails were tightly entwined. The dragons' whiskers were extended and they bared their fangs and claws. They looked mighty and lifelike.
When Gu Bingyan heard that there was another discovery, he was initially disdainful. However, when he saw the thing in Xu Zhen's hand, his expression changed. He muttered, "Impossible. How is this possible?"
Lin Wanrong did not care whether it was possible or not. He had seen a lot of good jade stones, but he had never seen such a rare and precious one. He was stunned for a long time. He then carefully asked, "What is this?!"
Qin Xian 'er took the jade from Xu Zhen's hand. Her face was a mixture of sadness and joy. She said softly, "This is the Founding Jade Seal of China. Twenty years ago, the night before Father ascended to the throne, this jade seal was suddenly stolen. For twenty years, there has been no news of it. Father has always been ashamed. Who would have thought that the Imperial Jade Seal of China would be stolen by such an ambitious thief — "
"The Imperial Jade Seal that was stolen?" Lin Wanrong covered his mouth in shock, "Aiya. This is too valuable. Wait for me to touch it a hundred times before you keep it — Mister Gu. What do you say? Is this still a trap? "
Gu Bingyan did not seem to hear his words. His expression was blank as he muttered to himself. He still had a look of disbelief on his face. The Imperial Jade Seal, such a precious thing, it wasn't something that just anyone could take out. Who had the courage to frame Cheng Wang?
Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh, "Ai, this is too shocking. The dragon robe, the golden crown, the Imperial Jade Seal. Any one of these would be enough to kill several generations of people. Who would have thought that Prince Cheng would collect all of them. This is unheard of and shocking. This little brother has lived for so long. Today, I have learned something new. General Xu, tidy up these things and present them to His Majesty. Remember our brothers' contributions. It is not easy for everyone to give up their rest and come out to patrol on such a cold day. "
Xu Zhen laughed inwardly. However, he pretended to be serious, "This general obeys! General, this Mister Gu. How should we deal with him?! "
Looking at Gu Bingyan, Lin Wanrong nodded, "This, you know that I am an upright person. Let's handle this impartially. Hand him over to the court. As for how the Emperor will deal with him, we will not care."
The fire had already been put out. After this disturbance, thirty to forty percent of the wang fu had already been burned. The servant girls and maids had all been detained. The once bustling and bustling Cheng Wang Fu had, in a single night, been reduced to ruins.
Xu Zhen left some men to put out the fire and left with Gu Bingyan and the others. Before Gu Bingyan left, he looked at Lin Wanrong. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Lin San, I will not let you go. We will meet in the golden hall! "
"Meeting is better than reminiscing! Brother Gu, have a safe journey! "Lin Wanrong laughed as he waved his hand. He watched as Xu Zhen took him away.
Looking at the rising grey smoke, the sparkling wooden beams, and the scattered glazed tiles, Qin Xian 'er's expression suddenly dimmed. She shook her head and sighed, "How difficult was it to build this residence? To destroy it, it was only a matter of time. Riches and honor are like smoke. Once you wake up, it will all disappear with the wind. "
"Why are you sighing?!" Lin Wanrong smiled as he held her small hand, "Where there is destruction, there will be construction. This is the law of social change. No one can go against it. "
Xian 'er grunted and slowly buried her head on his shoulder. She faintly said, "Husband, do you think our Lin family will also decline like this one day?"
Lin Wanrong stilled. This question was too profound and he could not answer it.
"What is there to be afraid of?" He stole a kiss on Xian 'er's cheek and smiled nonchalantly, "Every generation of the Lin family will have talents. Each generation will lead the way for hundreds of years. As long as you spread more branches for our Lin family, when the time comes, our Lin family will become thousands of clans. There will always be a boy who can inherit the style of his ancestor. Don't worry, don't worry! "
Qin Xian 'er smiled sweetly and kissed his lips, "Husband, Xian' er likes to hear you talk the most. By your side, I don't seem to be worried at all. No wonder Master … "
"Big sister An?! What happened to her?! "Lin Wanrong was shocked.
"Nothing." Xian 'er stuck out her tongue and swallowed her words back into her stomach. She giggled and said, "Husband, where did you find the dragon robe, golden crown, and jade seal? You gave me a fright! These are not simple things, how could they be easily found?! "
"Ai, don't talk nonsense. I didn't do it." Lin Daren's expression was very serious as he straightened his posture.
Miss Qin smiled and pouted, "So annoying. You made Gao Qiu do something good, do you think I don't know?! Let me ask you. These three things, where did you get them? "
"I really didn't do it." Lin Daren shrugged innocently and spread his hands, "These things were found by Xu Wei. The one who did it was Gao Qiu. It has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything."
Qin Xianer pinched him with a smile. "Mr. Xu is very skillful. I think none of these three items are fake. Without a few years of effort, he wouldn't be able to prepare them. Could it be that he has been waiting for this day for many years?!"
Lin Wanrong's mind worked quickly. He suddenly patted his head and smiled in realization, "I know — no wonder Old Xu prepared everything so quickly. Xian 'er, my father-in-law is really the number one expert in the world. Even a smart person like me has become his chess piece! "
"You just realized?!" Xian 'er giggled, "Royal Father is the ruler of China. If he didn't have methods, how could he rule the country?"
After this girl recognized her ancestors, her sense of identity with her father had become much stronger. Lin Wanrong nodded with a smile. He heard Xian 'er sigh, "Today's matter, even though we found a crime, we allowed the father and son to escape. In the future, my China will have many troubles."
"Don't be discouraged. Cheng Wang has been working hard for many years. If we can capture him so easily, then he is too weak. Besides — "Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously, the pride in his eyes could not be concealed," Who said they escaped?! "
