Yu Qiansi pinched Du Ruozhai's sign, her knuckles turned white, she lowered her eyes to hide her worries and was absent-minded.
Boyi looked at Lin Shen who was still chattering in front of him, and was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that Lin Zhixian was also the person chosen by Du Ruozhai."
Lin Shen grinned heartlessly: "No matter what, the little magistrate cannot be 'selected'. Thanks to Du Ruozhai's help, I am where I am today."
He cupped his hands towards Boyi and continued to say to Yu Qiansi: "So Lord Yu, don't worry. Du Ruozhai's people help each other and it has nothing to do with the young master. These people I brought with me have also been helped by Du Ruozhai."
People who are safe, don’t worry.”
The few strong men standing on the ruins from far and near were looking at the slightly embarrassed but still innocent woman in red with curious and doubtful eyes.
According to rumors, Jade Rakshasa had also been helped by Du Ruozhai, but she had never been seen wearing Du Ruozhai's brand, so most of them thought this was just hearsay, a rumor deliberately spread by Jade Rakshasa in order to restore her precarious reputation.
.
It wasn't until last night that someone knocked on their door one by one with a Du Ruozhai sign, politely asking for help, and then they learned the truth.
Although they were all wearing casual clothes, two of them, Yu Qiansi had some impression of them, they should be bad people in Nan'an County. The others were all strangers, they should be other people in Nan'an County who had been helped by Du Ruozhai.
Yu Qiansi handed the sign back to Lin Shen, held his fists in front of his forehead, then moved it to his left chest, and thanked those people one by one.
This is Du Ruozhai's unique gesture, and only those who have received Du Ruozhai's help will understand it.
Only then did those strong men show their bold smiles and return the favor with a smile.
"So you are really Du Ruozhai's man..." Boyi looked at the sign in Lin Shen's hand with a confused expression.
She has never been seen wearing Du Ruozhai's brand, and yesterday Yao An went to Nan'an County to seek help, so he must have had her brand to be useful.
Is it because she didn't wear it because she gave the brand to Wang Song?
Or had he already guessed that his reputation would be affected after joining the Punishment Division, and was he worried that Du Ruozhai would be implicated?
"Yes... I was living abroad, and it was Du Ruozhai who helped me." Yu Qiansi seemed unwilling to talk more.
Du Ruozhai is very mysterious, but the people he takes care of are all outstanding without exception. As a young man of the Han tribe but with great ambitions, he is widely praised among the people. Everyone is proud of having Du Ruozhai's brand.
Most of them wear it on their bodies to show preferential treatment.
"I was..." Boyi paused and continued: "...I also heard a lot when I was in the northwest. Many young men who came to join the army once said that they were influenced by Du Ruozhai.
of care."
Yu Qiansi gave a soft "hmm" and turned to ask Lin Shen: "You haven't said yet, what happened to Miss Yayin? Also, what happened in the palace last night?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yayin walked around the path, leaned against the tree, and said softly: "Master Yu, Yayin is fine. I'm sorry, but Yayin is so useless. It took me a long time to find someone to help you. You have suffered."
..."
As he said that, he was about to bow down.
Yu Qiansi hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, looking at the injuries on her body and hands. Although they had been cleaned and bandaged, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"Miss Yayin, thank you for risking your life to save me."
"How could it be? It should be Yayin, thank you two adults. Yayin is originally a lowly person... but the two adults actually put themselves in danger for me. Yayin really has nothing to repay. I was not careful just now.
I fell asleep...I really can't help you two adults."
"How can I blame you, Miss Yayin?" Lin Shen heard this and hurriedly walked over. Because he was walking too hastily, he tripped over the gravel on the ground and managed to stand firm.
"Miss Yayin, why should you underestimate yourself? I, Lin Shen, have never seen anyone as heroic as a girl. She calls for help late at night by herself. She is brave, resourceful and courageous! Lin Shen really admires..."
Seeing Yayin gradually lowering her head and looking more and more frightened, Yu Qiansi couldn't help but interrupt: "Guangzhi, what happened in the palace last night?"
Lin Shen came back to his senses, blinked, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he quickly used his skills to recount what happened last night.
"After Yao An brought us here, the young master must have noticed the anomaly that trapped you, so he ordered Yao An to return to the capital to investigate. As expected, at the court meeting this morning, no! To be precise, last night, the palace
Something happened here——"
Having said this, Lin Shen lowered his voice again, raised his eyebrows and looked at Yu Qiansi with interest.
Seeing Yu Qiansi let out a "tsk", impatiently trying to touch the dagger on his waist, he didn't dare to show off any more, and quickly waved his hand and continued: "The young master left the palace gate with his front foot, and the light in the back foot started to rise inexplicably.
There was a fire! After the Imperial Guards and the eunuchs on duty put out the fire, some of them stayed and guarded outside the Zaiguang Hall. The remaining Imperial Guards set up martial law in the palace and guarded His Majesty's side to prevent assassins from attacking from east to west."
The Zaiguang Hall is the royal ancestral hall within the palace. It is different from the Wan Zong Ancestral Hall in the imperial mausoleum. It only contains the golden and jade spiritual tablets of the emperors since the founding of the Dashengkai Dynasty. It is indeed a place that can cause chaos in the palace and ban the palace.
"As a result, something even stranger happened." Lin Shen swallowed and suddenly raised his voice: "In today's morning court, when His Majesty sat firmly in the palace and opened the door of the front court, he was the same person who had just stepped in.
All the courtiers who entered the court saw the late emperor's golden and jade spiritual tablet prominently placed in the middle of the court!"
Although Lin Shen no longer talks about the story, his voice is high and low, long and short, and still tells the story with ups and downs and suspense.
But for Yu Qiansi, this story is just a myth.
She didn't move much, she just raised her eyebrows and continued: "I guess there is something more exciting?"
Lin Shen clapped his hands to express his admiration for Yu Qiansi's prediction.
"Remember what I said? Last night, a group of Imperial Guards were guarding outside the Zaiguang Hall. They surrounded the Zaiguang Hall, but not even a fly could fly in!"
Yu Qiansi nodded repeatedly and chuckled: "Let me guess, they must have carefully checked the inside of the palace when and after putting out the fire, and nothing was abnormal. So the guards were outside the palace, but after the big incident at the court meeting this morning
, the imperial guards discovered that the late emperor’s spiritual throne was missing from the palace?”
Lin Shen took a deep breath artificially: "How do you know?"
Then he added unwillingly: "Not only that, it is said that the place where the late emperor's golden and jade spiritual tablet should have been turned into a pool of blood..."
Yu Qiansi and Boyi looked at each other, and sure enough, they thought of the same thing as the young master.
Someone uses this method to trap himself, just like the real culprit in the Lingyunge case. He must be doing something with his absence.
If she were in the capital, after the fire broke out in the palace last night, she would have been summoned into the palace as soon as possible. Naturally, she would have discovered the work of the people behind the scenes, and would not have made the matter a big deal during today's court meeting.
"Somehow, this matter has spread now. Many people are now spreading the news that the late emperor was dissatisfied with what your majesty did and wanted to punish him..." Lin Shen murmured and concluded: "Now it's
As the anniversary of the death of the late Emperor approaches, it is really difficult not to think about it!"
I don’t know who this incident was for.
How can an emperor who has not yet taken charge of the government dissatisfy the late emperor? Whether he is dissatisfied with someone with great power and disrupts the government, or is dissatisfied with the person sitting on the throne, it is really daydream.
