Chu Nanzhi saw a faint blush on Lin Jinshu's face and immediately guessed what she had not said.
On the contrary, since there are so many beautiful village grasses hidden in a small village, there are naturally more beautiful men in Jinling City.
Before everyone could react, Lin Jinshu immediately changed the subject and said, "Junior sister, I also heard from the teacher that your method of investigating cases is extraordinary. I'm afraid I really have to ask you for something."
"Imperial sister, please speak."
Chu Nanzhi gestured.
Lin Jinxiao and his two elders were confused as they listened. They couldn't tell who was the younger sister and who was the older sister.
Lin Jinshu didn't pay attention to the strange expressions on the faces of the second elder and Lin Jinxiao, and said to himself:
"A few days ago, I seized nearly 50,000 taels of illicit silver in Nanhua Temple. They were all confiscated by the Third Princess under the command of Taoist Master Tan Hua. That day, she was willing to protect the secrets even if she spilled blood in the court. Senior sister, I think there must be a lot of time during this period.
There is something hidden, but I am in a hurry to return to Beijing and resume my duties, so I don’t have time to investigate it in detail, so I asked my junior sister to put more effort into it for me.”
"Don't worry, my dear sister, I will help you keep an eye on it, junior sister."
"Thank you, junior sister."
"Imperial sister, you don't have to be polite."
The two elders were listening to the conversation between the two, and their heads were almost spinning. Before they could recover, Lin Jinshu had already bowed to several people, and then opened the door and led several guards in a hurry.
Just leave.
The onlookers wanted to watch the excitement, but there were plainclothes guards guarding the door, so they all just stared at the mysterious and mysterious look of the group, not knowing what they were talking about.
But within a few cups of tea, word had spread in the village that Her Royal Highness the Princess and the great scholar from Luyan Port went to the Chu family to express their condolences for the deceased.
Such an extremely honorable thing was only possible when King Pingning passed away more than a hundred years ago.
Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao led the two elders out. Listening to the commotion in the yard, they were all talking about the princess coming and recognizing the emperor's brother. When they saw Lin Jinxiao again, they were a little more respectful than usual.
Thinking about the content of the conversation in the room just now, Chu Nanzhi felt a little uncomfortable at this time.
I thought that after the pampered village grass recovered from his injury, he would just go to the county government and become a low-rank county captain. This is better. Not only did he earn the title of an imperial brother, but he would soon become a fifth-rank official. This was in his own time.
department-level cadres.
How can I feel free to tease him again in the future?
Lin Jinxiao saw her gloomy face and didn't know what she was thinking about. Now this woman is good at everything. The only drawback is that she often starts to lose focus.
"Is there something wrong with the case handling?"
Lin Jinxiao looked at her with confusion on his face.
"Nan Zhi, are you thinking about what Princess Shu told you just now?"
Nie Huaian also noticed something was wrong with her and asked quickly.
When Chu Nanzhi heard the voice, she came back to her senses and saw the second elder and Lin Jinxiao staring at her blankly. She was frightened and immediately pretended to be calm and replied seriously: "Yes, teacher, what His Highness has told me, student
Don’t dare to neglect, I am really worried about this matter.”
"Hu Maoxi, this guy is getting more and more outrageous. He knew clearly that Liu Ping and Taoist Ximen died in prison under strange circumstances, but he still let you go to prison to think about your mistakes. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise I would have scolded him.
The dog’s head is bloody.”
Nie Huai'an became angry when the affairs of the eldest princesses were mentioned. He had learned about the death of Han Zhang, the Dianshi, the day before yesterday, and what had happened to his students in prison. He had been a little angry.
"Teacher, there is no need to worry. Even though he was sent to prison, he helped to dig out the rat excrement in the prison. This is also a good thing."
Chu Nanzhi said in relief.
…
Seeing the two elders coming out, the clan heads of the Liu and Chu families came over eagerly to pay their respects and led the two elders into the side room to sit down again.
Last night, Chu Laoqian was still worried and angry because Chu Wenyu's funeral was so deserted and shabby. He never thought of taking a nap. Two great scholars of the time from Luyan Port, together with the most powerful princess of the dynasty, came to express their condolences to the deceased.
, if this spreads out, it will be a great honor for the Chu family.
After his anger turned into joy, when he looked at Chu Nanzhi again, Lao Shen's face couldn't help but be filled with respect.
Chu Laoqian looked at the two elders with warm eyes and volunteered to arrange:
"It's not easy for the second elder to come here. Nan Zhi, you and your mother should tidy up the house well and let the second elder stay at home for a few more days before sending the second elder back after the funeral. Today you and Dalang don't have to think about the vigil anymore. Take good care of it.
Accompany the two elders and wait until tomorrow night when all the condolences guests arrive, then go to the mourning hall to keep vigil for your uncle."
After hearing this, Liu Chengming quickly agreed: "Yes, there are Mr. and Mrs. Nanzhu and your father and mother taking care of you over there at the mourning hall, so don't worry about it."
"Brother Chu, Liu Lizheng doesn't have to be so deliberate."
Nie Huaian waved his hands solemnly: "Old Chen and Chang Lao naturally want to stay. Dalang and Nan Zhi are our most proud disciples. How can we just watch this family being bullied? What about the Qi family?
What are you doing? They don’t know how to restrain themselves anymore. If they want to hold a funeral, they would like to invite everyone from the county to their home."
"What he was doing was not a funeral. It was simply embarrassing and blasphemous to the souls of the dead. There is no reason for two families to hold a funeral after one person dies. His Qi family has always been arrogant. After his husband died, he didn't even have the shame to take his body back, but for no reason.
What kind of burial mound is this? It’s really ridiculous.”
Chang Yanjue also heard about the funeral held by the Qi and Chu families in the past two days, which caused uproar in the city. Concerned about Chu Nanzhi's safety, he had to come with him.
Staring deeply at Chu Nanzhi, he said seriously:
"Nan Zhi, I heard a little bit about your uncle when I returned to my hometown. The eldest son of the Chu family was supposed to be a leader, but he was forced to become someone else's son-in-law. He ended up in such a miserable end. It's really regrettable.
, Mr. Nie and I have already discussed that we will stay here for the next few days. I want to see what tricks the Qi family can pull off."
With the words of the two elders, not only did the two clan chiefs feel relieved, but Chu Nanzhi also felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect that she had only cooked a few dishes for the two elders, and yet he had received such protection from them many times.
After thinking about it, I am afraid that Lin Jinxiao's contribution is inseparable from this.
She took a long breath of emotion, and slowly looked at Chu Laoqian with her clear eyes, and said softly: "Grandpa Lao is accompanying the two elders in the house. If you have any errands, please tell me."
After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at Lin Jinxiao, who looked calm and composed.
Hearing this, Chu Laoqian nodded in fear: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you."
Having lived to this age, the names of these two great scholars have been ringing around in my ears for decades. Today is the first time I have the honor to have such close contact with these two great scholars. This is really a great honor for my grandniece.
.
At the same time, I was secretly rejoicing, and at the same time, I was also secretly thinking about how to get those useless people back from the Qi family.
Because he vaguely noticed that the sky in Luyan Port was about to change.
At this time, for the sake of your own family and the Chu family, you must not be on the wrong team.
