Yinzhen thought for a moment and then said: "Go to the guest room upstairs, and then tell your grievances in detail."
After arriving in the guest room, Fang Lian'er began to talk about her grievances in detail. The matter was not what Yinzhen thought, and it had nothing to do with Hangzhou Weaving. Her grievances were the only one in the Zhao family tragedy that had caused a lot of trouble in the city recently.
The survivor was the perpetrator Zhao Sanshao, Zhao Chenyi. She insisted that Zhao Chenyi would not kill anyone and was deliberately framed.
So since the Hangzhou Prefecture sentenced Zhao Chenyi to death, she ran around to defend Zhao Chenyi regardless of her family's objections. However, Hangzhou Prefecture Yin Chen Yuanjing believed that the evidence of Zhao Chenyi's murder was conclusive and not suspicious.
After returning her paper, Fang Lian'er refused to accept it and knelt in front of the government office. Then she saw Yinzhen, and suddenly remembered the brocade material on Yinzhen's body, so she boldly stopped them, and the next scene happened.
As for the white clothes and flowers on her body, they were all worn by Zhao Chenyi. If Zhao Chenyi was really executed, she would be his widow.
Hearing this, Ling Ruo already understood that Fang Lian'er must be in love with Zhao Chenyi, but...
"How old are you this year?" she asked suddenly.
Fang Lian'er's eyelashes trembled, she lowered her eyelids and whispered, "Fifteen"
Ling Ruo nodded and continued: "So in the forty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, you were already thirteen years old, so you should have participated in the talent show, but you were not selected?"
"In the 46th year of Kangxi's reign, I was ill, so I did not participate in the draft." When saying this, Fang Lian'er's eyes were a little evasive.
Ling Ruo nodded noncommittally, and then said: "That means you will still have to participate in the draft next year. In this case, even if you think Zhao Chenyi was wronged, you should avoid it, in case the news reaches Beijing..."
Before she finished speaking, Fang Lian'er interrupted her excitedly and said: "I will not enter the palace. I want to be with Chen Yi. Even if I die in this life, I will not enter the palace."
Everyone frowned when they heard this. When it comes to entering the palace, it is a beautiful girl's turn to have the final say. The words "not entering the palace" are not easy to say.
Falling in love in secret, Ling Ruo sighed secretly in her heart, remembering that the fateful love between herself and Rong Yuan was ultimately a tragedy.
Such a private lifelong decision is undoubtedly extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you and even your family will be in danger. But she and Fang Lian'er are not familiar with each other after all, so these words are not easy to persuade, let alone seeing her like this, even if she said it
I'm afraid I won't listen, so I might as well save my words.
Fifteen years of life is always too little, and I grew up in an official family and have never experienced any hardships. When one day I meet love, I will stubbornly believe that love is everything, and I can even risk my life for love.
If she is lucky enough to save her life in the whirlpool of love, she will look back many years later and find that she was so naive and naive at the time. Love is certainly possible, but it is by no means everything. Some people and things are far more important than one person's love.
She understood this truth, but Lian'er hadn't yet...
When they heard people tell them not to enter the palace in front of them, both Yinzhen and Yinxiang looked a little strange, and Yinxiang even said: "What if the emperor leaves the card at that time, will you still resist and disobey the decree?"
Hearing this, Lian'er, who had always been frowning, suddenly showed a sly look, "The draft is held every three years, and it is said that women with both political integrity and talent are selected to fill the harem, but whether they are talented or not can not be seen overnight.
, Whether or not to leave a brand mainly depends on appearance. As long as I wear a little ugly makeup, I think the emperor will not pay attention to me alone among so many beautiful girls."
"I mean what if." Yinxiang seemed to be interested and insisted on asking, "What if the emperor wants to keep you in the palace, are you really prepared to resist?"
Lian'er caressed the white flowers on her temples and lowered her head in silence. After a while, she raised her head and said firmly: "Yes, I will resist the decree! Chen Yi and I have already agreed that we will not marry anyone who is not your queen, and we will not marry anyone who is not your king; even if it means death, I will do it."
When we are together with Chen Yi, no one can separate us. As for my father..." She smiled self-pityingly and said sadly: "He wholeheartedly wanted me to enter the palace. After learning that I had a private life-long engagement with Chen Yi, he had already disowned him.
My daughter."
Yinzhen stopped Yinxiang from asking any more questions and said instead: "Someone saw Zhao Chenyi's murder with his own eyes. Why do you think he is innocent?"
When he mentioned this, Lian'er suddenly became excited. He clapped his hands on the table and said loudly: "I know Chen Yi's character very well. He is honest and kind. He can't even bear to hurt small animals. How could he kill someone? There must be someone."
He was wronged. I hate that governor. He was stupid and ignorant. He convicted Chen Yi of murder indiscriminately. He was an official of his parents. If Chen Yi is really dead, even if the lawsuit is brought to the capital, I will take off his crown.
Hualing!"
Yinzhen frowned, "Actually, Chen Fuyin is not as stupid as you said. He has his own reasons for convicting him; not to mention that this happened in Hangzhou and should be handled by him. Even if we have some status in the capital, we can't do it."
It is inconvenient to interfere in local affairs."
"The truth? I think a silver tael is right." Lian'er sneered: "Three years of clearing the prefecture, a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. How can he be worthy of the post of governor of Hangzhou if he doesn't take the opportunity to make more money!"
Yinzhen didn't take her words seriously at first, but Lian'er told them that just the day before Chen Yuanjing sentenced Zhao Chenyi to death, a distant cousin of the Zhao family had been in and out of the prefect's Yamen.
The Zhao family started out as a spice business and accumulated a lot of wealth over more than ten years. Now, almost all direct Zhao family members are dead, leaving only Zhao Chenyi. If he is sentenced to death, then as a rule, the Zhao family's wealth will be
If it is not his turn to inherit, then the descendants of the Zhao family will inherit based on distance, and the distant cousin is the first heir except Zhao Chenyi.
When she mentioned it like this, Yinzhen was a little unsure. Before he could think of how to answer, Lian'er knelt down in front of Yinzhen and kowtowed: "Please help me and Chen Yi, please."
Please!”
Yinxiang helped her up and sighed: "You don't even know our identities, so you kowtow in such a hurry, aren't you afraid of kowtowing to the wrong person?"
"No! I believe in my eyes, you will definitely be able to help me." Lian'er's stubborn words made Yinxiang lose his temper, and he raised his eyes to look at Yinzhen, waiting for him to speak.
Yinzhen thought for a moment and did not immediately agree to her request. He only said that he would ask Chen Yuanjing if he had the opportunity.
Although she didn't get the answer she expected, Lian'er was quite happy to hear that Yinzhen was willing to take care of the matter.
After Lian'er left, Yinxiang blew tea foam and said: "Fourth brother, you don't really want to take care of this matter, do you? We don't have any clue about our own affairs!"
"I'm just asking for her, it won't hinder anything. If Zhao Chenyi is really unjust, then we have done a good thing." Yinzhen said lightly.
