Long Tianyu's voice couldn't help but soften a bit.
As if he was afraid that this girl would be frightened, Long Tianyu had no idea that his image in Lin Mengya's heart had changed a bit.
He hooked his fingers, and with Long Tianyu's intentional or unintentional connivance, Lin Meng became more and more courageous.
"Come on, come on, tell me, what happened to that man?"
Long Tianyu stood in front of Lin Mengya, and the girl pounced on him.
He reflexively caught her slender body, like a monkey, letting her hang on his body.
"Which man?"
A low voice rang in Lin Mengya's ears.
Lin Mengya only felt itchy on her back, and her whole body seemed to have been drained of energy.
She really liked Long Tianyu's deep voice, as gorgeous and addictive as a cello.
It's a pity that this guy never says sweet words.
Otherwise, the lethality will definitely double.
"It was the one we found in the farmhouse where Hong Yu was imprisoned! Could it be that you were killed?"
Lin Mengya was lying and refused to get off Long Tianyu's body. She poked Long Tianyu's chest with her left hand and asked with a pretended serious face.
Long Tianyu liked to see her naughty little look, and he didn't feel heavy holding her anyway, so he just kept holding her.
"He is just a pawn and doesn't know much."
Of course, Long Tianyu would not miss this opportunity easily.
That cowardly man had of course encountered the darkest period in his life.
Before Long Tianyu's people could take any cruel action, this guy vomited out everything he knew like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
"I knew it would be like this, but did he really not say anything useful? Are you sure?"
Lin Mengya didn't believe it. She stared at Long Tianyu with a pair of big eyes, full of doubt. Her pouted mouth was obviously dissatisfied with her answer.
After a while, Long Tianyu finally couldn't stand it any longer and could only 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."
"It has something to do with me? What is it?"
Long Tianyu gently put her on the chair, bent down, and then said slowly
"He said that he once heard their inspector say that they have known your details for a long time. He also said that when the time comes, someone will definitely take your place. Moreover, they have also found someone who can prove that you are not happy.
The princess’s witnesses and belongings certificate."
Lin Mengya had already anticipated the physical evidence.
But as for witnesses, when we were in the Jin Kingdom, let alone unrelated people. Even among the family members, there were probably only a few who knew the identity of the mother.
And she believed that those people should be close confidants of her father and mother. Otherwise, when the queen had to grant her father a marriage, she wouldn't have used her mother's low background as an excuse.
She crawled out of her mother's belly. No one can fake this.
Therefore, it should be based on her mother's identity.
"Have you chosen anyone? If there are clues, we can take precautions in advance."
Long Tianyu looked at her confused look and suggested.
After searching hard for past memories, Lin Mengya couldn't think of any useful clues, so she had no choice but to shake her head.
"No, as you know, I used to be indifferent at home. But now I am afraid that the only one who knows my mother's identity is my father. I don't know much about what happened more than ten years ago. I
When the stepmother entered the house, she dismissed a lot of old people. Even the youngest ones who are still alive today are in their forties or fifties. So I think if they are looking for witnesses, they will make an issue out of these people.
"
This is the most difficult opponent. Even Zuo Qiuchen and Zuo Qiuyu only met her mother when they were young.
Oh, I have a headache.
Seeing Lin Mengya's troubled look, Long Tianyu was a little reluctant to give up.
His big hands lovingly patted her little head, but there was a bit of a smile on her lips.
There aren't many chances to stump her, so it's better not to tell her about the preparations I made in advance.
It is really one of the joys of life to see her distressed and troubled every day.
After resting all night, when I saw Zuo Qiuyu the next day, I saw a secretly happy look on his face. It was obvious that their plan to divert the water eastward had worked.
"Why are you smiling so naughtyly? Is there a beautiful girl throwing herself at you tonight?"
Lin Mengya couldn't help teasing Zuo Qiuyu, but this guy lay on the window of Lin Mengya's carriage and whispered
"I could see those tails with my own eyes yesterday. I just chased them to the east without entering the city. Now, I don't have a month, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull them back."
When it comes to Yin damage, Zuo Qiuyu and Zuo Qiuchen are definitely from the same origin.
He must have told his men to go where the dangers were. Since he knew someone was following him, he might have stumbled halfway.
and
Sumei was guarded very strictly by their people. Lin Mengya personally told her to pick a few rich women to guard her.
Even if you go to the toilet, you have to watch it with your own eyes. Within three days, just call this girl, you can't even tell her how hard she is, let's see how she behaves.
Who told her to follow her? She deserves it.
"Let's set off."
Lin Mengya was sitting in the carriage, and there was no danger for the time being from the hidden dangers brought by Sumei.
Then, I'm afraid there will be more things to deal with next.
She wanted to see what kind of gift her mother's family would use to welcome her niece.
After leaving Huicheng, we walked to Tiantian again, and we were getting further and further away from Wangtian City.
What she saw and heard along the way also gave Lin Mengya a new understanding of Lintian City.
And she finally understood why Cousin Chen could legitimately sit on the throne with the power of the citizens of Lintian Kingdom.
The folk customs here are more open-minded and stable compared to those in the Jin Dynasty.
There is a bit more arrogance to make a living at sea, and the influence of officials is not as feudal as that of the Jin Dynasty.
I heard from Cousin Yu that every household with a boat on the sea would have to collect a fishing tax.
But sometimes, when the income is not good, if the government still imposes taxes, every household will take a boat and go to sea to avoid taxes.
As soon as the government entered the village, the whole village was deserted. If we set up a boat to chase them, how many of them could be chased back in the vast sea?
Moreover, every household's boats are registered and are not allowed to be requisitioned or destroyed at will.
Now, the fishery tax collectors have become grandsons. They beg their grandfather and grandma every day for fear that these ancestors will sail away.
Although Cousin Yu told it to her as a joke, the information revealed was that the fishermen were not very afraid of the officials in power.
Although this has disadvantages, for Cousin Chen now, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
After all, although he has been on the throne for several years, his actual control over Lintian is far from what he expected.
In the past five or six days, only 60% of the city has been directly controlled by Cousin Chen.
Moreover, the further you go towards the old capital, the fewer cities Cousin Chen can directly control.
I heard from Cousin Yu that most of the officials were appointed by the previous dynasty.
In this way, it is inextricably linked to the old forces in the old capital.
Only now did she know why cousin Chen was determined to hold Baicao Pavilion in his hands. >Such a divided situation will cause big problems sooner or later.
"Ahead is the boundary of Yulong Mansion. Let's all be careful. The governor of Yulong Mansion is my sworn enemy. In the battle to seize the throne, if my brother hadn't been careful every step of the way, this great position might not be the real one.
It will fall on his head."
Immediately, Zuo Qiuyu's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
There was a lot of helplessness and resentment in his eyes, but he was not allowed to show it on the surface.
Some doubts arose in Long Tianyu's heart. If he had the status to inherit the throne, he must at least be among the princes and princes.
However, according to the official regulations of each dynasty, members of the royal family are not allowed to serve as court officials except for their respective fiefdoms.
Now, he has become the governor of Yulong Mansion. Doesn't this mess up Gangchang?
However, Long Tianyu also immediately figured it out, fearing that the governor of Jade Dragon City was just trying to make Zuo Qiuchen feel troubled and slap him in the face.
"No problem, let's go into the city."
In the battle for great power, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Moreover, with Zuo Qiuchen's plan, it is only a matter of time to unify the Lintian Kingdom.
Moreover, humiliating Zuo Qiuchen in such a shallow and vulgar way is enough to show that this person is arrogant and arrogant and should not be feared.
In any case, if you want to reach the old capital early, Yulong Mansion is a must-stop.
Baicao Pavilion is a big event, so the nobles from all the provinces will also pass by here.
As soon as I arrived at Yucheng, the first city of Jade Dragon City, I saw many Lintian nobles in luxurious clothes walking in and out of the gate of Yucheng.
After Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu looked at each other, they also slowed down their pace, lined up behind the team, and followed everyone into the city.
The speed was not too slow, and soon the team of Long Tianyu and Zuo Qiuyu arrived.
The guard guarding the city gate looked up at the noble prince on the horse, with a flattering smile on his face, and said very respectfully
"Greetings to you, sir. Could you please bring out the invitation letter so that the little one can register and so as not to delay your schedule."
"Invitation? What invitation?"
I have never heard Zuo Qiuyu mention this before. When does one need an invitation letter when entering or leaving the city gate?
That soldier was quite tactful. It must be because many big shots had come here in the past few days. He didn't dare to offend easily. He could only smile in a flattering way and said
"Sir, please don't make any small jokes. This is the invitation letter that our Governor sent to the Governors of each government. As early as half a year ago, it was sent to the Governors of each government. Could it be that you have forgotten it? This is not a coincidence.
Yes, there is an order from above. If you don’t have an invitation letter, I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter the city.”
