"Young General Lin, I'm Ye Shuanghe, the vice commander of the royal guards. Nice to meet you."
Unexpectedly, it was Lin Nansheng, who was supposed to be thousands of miles away.
Ye Shuanghe's face darkened. Everyone knew that the young master of the Lin family doted on his sister, and he was famous for that.
Besides, who was Lin Nansheng? He was not one of those useless boys in the court.
Even in the whole of Dajin, it was rare to find a man like him. Moreover, he was different from Lin Mengya, who was supposed to stay in the mansion.
He was the one who wielded true power. If he angered Lin Nansheng, it would be more difficult for him to clean up the mess today.
However, Ye Shuanghe was not willing to give up. Before he came here, his superior had made it clear that he had to take Lin Mengya and her son away even if he could not find out what was wrong with Lin Mengya.
Ye Shuanghe gritted his teeth and bowed to Lin Nansheng. He did not make any concession.
"Oh, you're the vice commander of the royal guards. I'm sorry. However, my sister and the wet nurse are just women. Why did the vice domain chief want to take all of them away? Moreover, the government should be responsible for taking them away. For General Ye to do this, isn't it a little suspicious of him overstepping his authority? "
Lin Nansheng's impoliteness made Ye Shuanghe's face darken.
It was rumored in the court that this young master of the Lin family was different from his father, who was gentle and honest.
Lin Nansheng, who had been learning martial arts since he was a teenager, was well-known in the capital city for his abhorrence of evil.
If Lin Nansheng had not left with the army, the hooligans in the capital city would have had a hard time.
He stared at Ye Shuanghe unhurriedly with his deep eyes.
Even though Lin Nansheng was alone, his calm and composed demeanor was enough to intimidate this group of Imperial Guards.
"Young General Lin, you're right. In fact, I'm here to investigate the case of the thugs who attacked Princess Yu. Ms. Tian and her son were the most crucial witnesses in this matter. I'm just taking them to the government office. "
Lin Nansheng didn't reply. Instead, he walked in front of the white-haired Ms. Tian.
Looking at the wet nurse who had raised him, Lin Nansheng's tough face slowly blossomed into a gentle smile.
He took off the dark red shawl from his body. Ignoring Ms. Tian's refusal, he forcefully tied it to Ms. Tian. Just like Lin Mengya, his eyes were filled with guilt. He said softly,
"Nanny, Brother Sheng is here to see you. All these years, you have suffered a lot. This cloak was bestowed by the current emperor. If you put it on, let's see who dares to disrespect you. "
Ms. Tian was already crying. She held Lin Nansheng's strong hands tightly with her withered hands.
More than a decade ago, the two children who were nestled in her arms had already grown so outstanding.
Madam passed away early, so the master could only take care of the important matters of the court. She had practically raised the Lin siblings.
Now that he saw these two children, not only did they not forget about their relationship with him, but they also did not forget about him. All of them were protecting her without a care for anything else. Madam Tian's heart was filled with gratitude.
It was as if all the pain she had suffered in order to keep her promise to Madam had disappeared.
"Young General Lin, what are you —"
Ye Shuanghe's face was trembling. He didn't need Lin Nansheng to say anything. He had seen the pattern of the four-clawed dragon python on the outside of the dark red cloak.
That was the pattern that only the Crown Prince and the high-ranking princes wore. The young general in front of him had also made it clear that it was bestowed by the emperor.
If anyone dared to touch Ms. Tian, it would be disrespectful to the royal family.
Although Ye Shuanghe was unwilling to give up, he knew the importance of this matter.
"This is Princess Yu's and my wet nurse. She's not a prominent person, but she's my wet nurse. Although she is not a prominent person, she has a close relationship with us. If you insist on arresting her, please go ahead. Do as you wish, but I'll be going with you as well. I'll go ask the governor of the capital city. He said that under the emperor's rule, thugs often hurt people. Now, they are targeting my sister. They don't care about the laws of Dajin at all. It seems that I have to report this to the imperial court. What is the role of the governor of the capital city? "
Lin Nansheng turned around and stared at Ye Shuanghe angrily.
Instantly, Ye Shuanghe could not stop complaining.
A while ago, the former governor of the capital city was suddenly transferred out for no reason.
The newly appointed one was an incorruptible and impartial master.
Ms. Tian and her son were supposed to be imprisoned in the imperial prison. But now, since Lin Nansheng was involved, he was afraid that he would not be able to do what he wanted to do today.
Lin Mengya had already recovered from the shock. She had a faint smile on her face.
If it was someone else who came today, it might be easier to handle.
Unexpectedly, it was her brother who came to help her!
Her brother was also a general, but he was the young general of the frontier. Not to mention Ye Shuanghe, a small deputy general, even the important officials in the imperial court had to show respect to her brother.
Lin Mengya held Ms. Tian and patted her hand. No matter what, she had to bring Ms. Tian and Brother Tian home today!
"Well, General Lin, we don't need to trouble you. Leave these small matters to this lowly official to handle. We don't need to trouble you. "
Ye Shuanghe wanted to find an excuse, but Lin Nansheng was staring at him. The temperament of a decisive general had already begun to show on this young man.
Ye Shuanghe had no choice but to grit his teeth. He wanted to leave with his men. However, just as he was about to admit defeat, another cold and furious voice sounded from behind him.
"Who am I? I'm just a fourth-grade general in the vanguard. This is the imperial army's territory, not your barbarian land. If you dare to behave atrociously here again, don't blame me for being merciless! "
Everyone's attention was focused on the person who had just appeared.
Lin Mengya looked at the man in front of her warily. She was so angry that she could almost burn this man into ashes.
The person who came had an extremely pale face. Even his lips were completely devoid of blood. Because of this, he appeared especially gloomy and terrifying. Half of his face was covered by a black blindfold.
And in his remaining eye, there was always a sinister and calculating look.
He was wearing a black official hat with a piece of red jade on it.
His body was so weak that it looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind. However, he was wearing a dark purple luxurious robe.
A pair of slender hands hung lazily on both sides of her body. He was clearly dressed like a civil official, but behind him, there were dozens of soldiers with backs as big as a bear's.
"Long time no see, Princess Yu. I, Baili Wuchen, thank you so much for your help. "
There was a hint of blood in his cold voice.
Of course, Lin Mengya would not forget the owner of the voice. It was Baili Wuchen, who had held her hostage and escaped from the prince's mansion.
No wonder she had sent so many people to look for him, but failed to find any trace of this scum.
It turned out that Baili Wuchen had gone to the Crown Prince's side. Now he was the deputy commander of the imperial guards. There was a reason for him to be so proud and arrogant.
"The Imperial Guards are really kind-hearted. Even a blind wild dog can get an official position."
Lin Mengya was not polite. She could not forget the trouble that Baili Wuchen had brought to Long Tianhao after his betrayal.
But Baili Wuchen did not care about what she said. Instead, he smiled softly, and his eyes fell on Ms. Tian and her son.
"General Lin, as an official of the imperial court, your responsibility is to maintain the stability of the imperial court. Now, the thugs hurt people, and my men came to investigate. Not only did you stop them from investigating, but you also took away our witness. Do you have anything to do with the thugs? Or are you in a hurry to imprison the hostages, or are you trying to kill them? "
As soon as Baili Wuchen opened his mouth, he charged Lin Nansheng with a crime that was enough to make Lin Nansheng furious.
Lin Mengya was angry, but she knew it clearly.
Baili Wuchen was used to inverting right and wrong. He was the one who complained first. Unexpectedly, the situation had taken a turn for the worse. Lin Mengya frowned slightly. But she would not let Baili Wuchen take Ms. Tian and Brother Tian Ning away.
"Commander Baili, you and I are both in the fourth rank. But don't forget that you are in charge of the education of the imperial guards. The patrols outside were arranged by another lieutenant. Although I am only a vanguard general, I am in charge of the foreign affairs of the imperial court. Your men were disrespectful to Princess Yu. As the commander in charge of the internal affairs, you have to bear the blame. "
Lin Mengya looked at her brother in surprise. She applauded her brother's wit in her heart.
But in her memory, her brother was not so eloquent.
It seemed that her brother had changed a lot during the years of being in the army.
"I thought that General Lin had been fighting on the battlefield all these years. I didn't expect you to be so proficient in the affairs of the imperial court. You are right. I am in charge of the internal affairs, but when it comes to the imperial guards, it is my business, and also the imperial court's business. General Lin is being so unreasonable. Isn't that disrespectful to the imperial court? Are you plotting a rebellion? "
Baili Wuchen was still smiling evilly. No one could tell what he was thinking. Even Ye Shuanghe, who was on his side, couldn't help but shiver.
It had to be said that what these people feared the most was neither the commander-in-chief nor the crown prince. It was Commander Baili, who had been transferred here to manage the internal affairs not long ago.
After all, if one offended the commander or the Crown Prince, he would at most be beaten with a stick, fined his salary, or kicked out of the imperial guards.
However, it was said that offending this Lieutenant Baili was worse than death.
