"What's the matter?"
Long Tianhao's voice involuntarily became softer.
He was afraid that this girl would be frightened. Long Tianhao did not know that his image in Lin Mengya's heart had changed a little.
Lin Mengya crooked her finger. Under Long Tianhao's intentional or unintentional indulgence, Lin Mengya became bolder and bolder.
"Come on, tell me, what did you do to that man?"
Long Tianhao stood in front of Lin Mengya, and this girl threw herself on him.
He reflexively caught her slender body, and let her hang on him like a monkey.
"Which man?"
His deep voice exploded in Lin Mengya's ears.
Lin Mengya only felt itchy on her back, as if her whole body was drained of strength.
She really loved Long Tianhao's deep and addictive voice, which was as deep as a cello.
Unfortunately, this guy never knew how to say sweet words.
Otherwise, the lethality of the attack would definitely increase by several folds.
"We found it in the farmhouse where Hongyu was locked up! Don't tell me you killed him? "
Lin Mengya refused to get off Long Tianhao's body. She poked Long Tianhao's chest with her left hand, and pretended to be serious as she asked.
Long Tianhao loved to see her shameless look. Anyway, she did not feel heavy in his arms, so he simply kept holding her.
"He is just a pawn, and he doesn't know much."
Of course, Long Tianhao would not let go of such an opportunity easily.
Of course, that man, who was so daring for sex, encountered the darkest period of his life.
Before Long Tianhao's men could do anything to him, this guy spilled everything he knew like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"I knew it would be like this, but did he really not say a single useful thing? Are you sure? "
Lin Mengya did not believe it. She stared at Long Tianhao with a pair of big eyes full of doubt. Obviously, she was not satisfied with her own answer.
After a while, Long Tianhao finally could not stand it anymore and had to surrender. He shook his head helplessly. There were fewer and fewer things he could hide from Lin Mengya now.
"He didn't say anything about confidential matters. But there is one thing that concerns you. "
"Something to do with me? What is it? "
Long Tianhao gently placed her on the chair, bent down, and said slowly, "You're a good girl.
"He said that he had heard their inspector say that they already knew your background. He even said that there would be someone who would replace him at that time. Moreover, they found a witness and material evidence to prove that you are not Princess Anle. "
Lin Mengya had expected that there would be physical evidence.
However, when he was in Jin Nation, there were plenty of witnesses, let alone unrelated people. Even in the family, there were only a few who knew her mother's identity.
Moreover, she believed that those people were her father and mother's trusted aides. Otherwise, the Empress wouldn't have used her mother's lowly birth as an excuse when she insisted on her father's marriage.
She had crawled out of her mother's womb. No one could have faked that.
Therefore, he would probably make an issue out of her mother's identity.
"Do you have a choice? If there are any clues, we can prepare in advance. "
Long Tianhao suggested when he saw the puzzled look on her face.
Lin Mengya tried hard to recall the past, but she couldn't think of any useful clues. She could only shake her head.
"No. You know that I didn't care about family affairs in the past. But I'm afraid my father is the only one in the mansion who knows my mother's identity. I don't know much about what happened more than ten years ago. After my stepmother entered the mansion, she dismissed many old people. Even now, the youngest of them is already in their forties or fifties. Therefore, I think if they want to find a witness, they will make an issue out of these people. "
This was the trickiest opponent. Even Zuo Qiuchen and Zuo Qiuyu had only met her mother when they were young.
Sigh, what a headache.
Seeing Lin Mengya's distressed look, Long Tianhao was a little reluctant.
He patted her little head lovingly with his big hand, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth.
There were not many opportunities to stump her. Therefore, it was better not to tell her about the preparations he had made in advance.
It was one of the greatest joys in life to see her distressed and troubled look every day.
Lin Mengya rested for a night. When she saw Zuo Qiuyu the next day, she saw that he was secretly delighted. Obviously, their plan to divert water from the east had worked.
"Why are you smiling so wickedly? Did a beauty throw herself at you at night?"
Lin Mengya couldn't help teasing Zuo Qiuyu. He leaned on the window of Lin Mengya's horse carriage and whispered,
"I saw those people with my own eyes yesterday. Since they didn't enter the city, they went straight to the east. I'm afraid they won't be able to get back in three to five months. "
Speaking of sinister, Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Qiuchen were definitely of the same origin.
They must have instructed their men to go wherever there was danger. Since they knew someone was following them, they might set up a trap along the way.
Moreover, Sumei was guarded very strictly by their men. Lin Mengya personally instructed them to pick a few burly old maids to watch over her.
Even if it was to go to the toilet, they had to watch it with their own eyes. In less than three days, they just had to make this lass unable to complain even if she had to suffer. Let's see how she would play tricks.
Who asked her to follow them? She deserved it.
"Let's set off."
Lin Mengya sat upright in the horse carriage. The hidden danger brought by Sumei was temporarily gone.
In this case, the things that she had to deal with would probably come one after another.
She would like to see what kind of big gift her mother's family would use to welcome her, their niece.
After leaving Hui City, they traveled for three to five days and were getting farther and farther away from Wangtian City.
What Lin Mengya saw and heard along the way gave her a new understanding of Lintian City.
She finally understood why Cousin Chen could rightfully ascend the throne with the power of the people of the Nation of Lintian.
The customs here were more open-minded and stable than those in Dajin.
They had more heroic spirit of making a living on the sea. The influence of the officials was not as feudal as that in Dajin.
Cousin Chen said that every family with a boat on the sea would have to pay a fishing tax.
However, sometimes when the income was not good, if the government still imposed a tax on them, every family would sail their boat to the sea to evade the tax.
As soon as the government entered the village, the whole village was empty. If they chased after them with a boat, how many boats could catch up with them in the vast sea?
Moreover, the boats of every family were registered, and no one was allowed to commandeer or destroy them at will.
In this way, the tax officials in charge of the fishing tax became cowards. Every day, they begged their grandfathers and grandmothers for fear that their ancestors would sail away.
Although Cousin Yu had told her this as a joke, the message he had revealed was that the fishermen were not afraid of the officials of the imperial court.
Although there were disadvantages, for Cousin Chen, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
After all, although he had been on the throne for a few years, the actual control of the Nation of Lintian was far from what he had expected.
In the past five to six days, only 60% of the cities could be directly controlled by Cousin Chen.
Moreover, the closer they were to the old capital, the fewer cities that Cousin Chen could control directly would be under his control.
Cousin Chen said that most of the officials were appointed by the previous emperor.
In this case, they were inextricably linked to the old power in the old capital.
Now, she finally understood why Cousin Chen was so determined to hold the Pavilion of Herbs in his hands.
Such a divided situation would cause big problems sooner or later.
"The boundary of Yulong Prefecture is in front. Let's be careful. The governor of Yulong Prefecture is my brother's sworn enemy. If my brother hadn't been careful in the battle for the throne, he might have been the one to take the throne. "
Immediately, Zuo Qiuyu's expression became a little unnatural.
There was a lot of helplessness and resentment in his eyes, but he could not show it on his face.
Long Tianyu was a little confused. If he was going to inherit the throne, he must at least be a prince.
However, according to the rules of the officials of each dynasty, members of the royal family were not allowed to be officials of the imperial court except for their own fiefs.
Now he had become the governor of Yulong Prefecture. Wasn't this a violation of the rules?
However, Long Tianyu immediately understood that the governor of Yulong Prefecture was just trying to make Zuo Qiuchen feel upset and humiliated.
"It doesn't matter. Let's go into the city."
In the battle for the throne, the winner was the king and the loser was the bandit. Moreover, with Zuo Qiuchen's shrewdness, it was only a matter of time for him to unify the Nation of Lintian.
Moreover, he humiliated Zuo Qiuchen in such a shallow and crude way, which was enough to show that he was arrogant and not a threat.
In any case, if they wanted to reach the old capital early, they had to pass through Yulong Prefecture.
The Pavilion of Herbs was a big event, so the relatives and nobles of each mansion would pass through here.
As soon as they arrived at Yu City, the first city of Yulong City, they saw many nobles of the Nation of Lintian in luxurious clothes going in and out of the city gate.
Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu looked at each other, and then asked their men to slow down and line up behind the others to enter the city.
Their speed was not slow. Soon, it was Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu's team.
The guard at the city gate looked up at the nobleman on the horse. With a flattering smile on his face, he said very respectfully, "Greetings, Your Excellency.
"Greetings to Milord. Please take out your invitation letter so that I can register it and not delay Milord's journey."
"Invitation? What invitation? "
He had never heard Zuo Qiuyu mention this before. Since when did he need an invitation to enter and exit the city gate?
The soldier was tactful. It must be because many big shots had come these days, so he did not dare to offend them easily. He could only smile ingratiatingly and said,
