In the dark small hall, Lin Juekong sat there for a long time, silent. Everyone in Wangyue Tower didn't know what happened. They only knew that Mr. Lin seemed to have a falling out with the prince and the magistrate over something. After that, Mr. Lin had a falling out.
When he was in a bad mood, he stayed in the hall.
In the next room outside the hall, Xie Danhong whispered to Xie Yingying: "Yingying, go and ask what happened? How could a originally happy day suddenly turn into such a mess? The prince, the young prince, and the prefect also
Come to cheer us up, this is putting gold in our faces, why did Young Master Lin have a falling out with others? This Young Master Lin's temper is really amazing."
Xie Yingying frowned and said: "Don't say such things. Mr. Lin has his own principles. Although I don't know what happened, I am on Mr. Lin's side. No matter what happens, I will support him."
Xie Danhong put her hands on her hips and smacked her lips: "You are obsessed with love and you are indiscriminate. If you have offended the prince and the prefect, how can we still have a good life? Mr. Lin is a capable person, but I am afraid that what I did today was wrong.
.”
Xie Yingying said sternly: "Mom, what we have today is all thanks to Mr. Lin. How can you say such things? We will bear all the difficulties together and bear the misfortune together. Mom, please don't say these words again, I don't like to hear them."
Xie Danhong smacked her lips and said: "The slave family has no other intentions. Am I an ungrateful person? Aren't I thinking about everyone? That's all, let's not talk about it. Mr. Lin is bored in there now and can't come out. You should go.
Please advise."
Xie Yingying said: "Why don't you go?"
Xie Danhong stared and said: "I thought, I just went in and asked, and I was immediately kicked out by the slave family. Tsk tsk, capable people have a big temper. Even the prince and the prefect would dare to offend the slave family, let alone the slave family."
Xie Yingying chuckled and said: "You asked for it on yourself. He is obviously in a bad mood. You still go and ask questions and blame him for offending the prince and the prefect Yan. If he doesn't blast you, who will you blast?"
Xie Danhong shook her head and tsked, feigning anger: "Oh, you are talking more and more towards him now. Yingying, don't forget, you met me earlier than you met him. I pampered you and protected you when I peeed. Now I'm fine."
The wings are stiff and the elbows are turned outward."
Xie Yingying smiled and said: "Why does mom always say such things? You know Yingying is not that kind of person."
Xie Danhong sighed: "Well, it would be good if you could find a good home. Mr. Lin will definitely be rich and powerful in the future. You should hurry up. Mo Chengtian thought in his heart but did not dare to take action. If you do this, sooner or later
You will regret it. With a guy like him, why can’t women pounce on him? It’s probably going to be difficult for you to wait for him to speak.”
Xie Yingying frowned and said, "What can I do? Do you want me, a girl, to go... to take the initiative to confess to him? If he doesn't mean it, wouldn't I... wouldn't..."
Xie Danhong rolled her eyes and said: "What are you afraid of? If he refuses, he is blind. How many people think about you and go crazy. Tell me, I will give him a pot of aphrodisiac and keep it safe for you to do good things. This kind of thing is rare.
Do you want me to thank Xie Danhong?"
Xie Yingying hurriedly said: "Don't do this. If you do this, I...I would rather die than obey."
Xie Danhong smiled and said: "Look at how scared you are, I'm just talking. That was the method used before. Now that we have changed our ways, how can we do it again? But it's not a solution for you to be inactive. Just like now,
You should comfort him. He will kick me out, but he will not kick you out. Is there any use for you to just sit here?"
Xie Yingying frowned and thought for a while, then stood up slowly and said softly: "That's right, I'll go take a look. It's okay if you are kicked out. Make me a pot of tea and I'll send it in."
In the darkness of the small hall, Lin Jue sat alone, listening to the hustle and bustle of people in the market, feeling extremely depressed. He never thought that something that the prince and the prefect Yan had promised would go wrong.
A tragedy happened on Guishan Island. He also promised Gao Muqing that he would get rid of the bad reputation of bandits on the people on Guishan Island, and that the court would pardon their past and give them a new life. However, all this turned out to be empty words.
That's all. Gao Muqing is now missing and her life and death are unknown. This is something Lin Jue is very worried about. Although Lin Jue believes that with Gao Muqing's martial arts, she might not be arrested and killed. But even if Gao Muqing escapes, she will probably be extremely sad.
, he also hated himself to the core. It was his failure to fulfill his promise that caused Guishan Island to suffer misfortune. Even if Gao Muqing hated himself, Lin Jue felt that he could not forgive himself.
Magistrate Yan and the prince came together today to explain the matter to themselves. It was ridiculous that they thought it was because of their own dignity and that they took the initiative to support them. However, judging from their attitudes, this matter should have come out of their minds.
It was unexpected. Although the prince was not an upright and reliable person, he did not deceive himself into making empty promises. Yan Zhengsheng was a man who kept his word, and he did not deceive himself. It can only be said that someone in the court had a sudden incident.
Things suddenly got out of control, which led to all this happening. This situation may be the result of the factional struggle between North Korea and China, and the people on Guishan Island became the victims of this struggle.
Of course, all of this is speculation, and Lin Jue cannot be sure what happened. At this moment, he is just trapped in deep self-blame, worry and guilt about Gao Muqing and cannot extricate himself.
There is a lamp like a bean in the corridor outside the hall. The dim light shines through the gap between the long window and the bamboo curtain. The lamp moves and shadows move. The light and dark shadows rotate in the small hall like a revolving lantern. The bamboo curtain is light.
Pick, a charming voice holding a candlestick in one hand and a teapot in the other appeared in front of the door.
Lin Jue squinted and saw clearly that the person coming was Xie Yingying.
Xie Yingying walked gently to the table, placed the candlestick on the table, and quietly made a cup of tea for Lin Jue. Then she stood quietly with her hands folded and looked at the frowning face with soft eyes.
Lin Jue.
Lin Jue sighed and said softly: "It's hard to perform in the afternoon, why don't you go and rest?"
Xie Yingying smiled and shook her head and uttered a few words: "I'm not tired."
Lin Jue sighed: "Did my mood affect everyone? I scolded Mama Xie just now when she came in. I will go and apologize to her later."
Xie Yingying shook her head and said, "No, mom knows you are upset and she has already forgiven you."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "In any case, I shouldn't be angry at her. This matter has nothing to do with her."
Xie Yingying nodded and said: "The slave family understands. The slave family does not want to talk too much. The slave family just wants to tell the young master that no matter what it is, our grand theater will stand by the young master. The young master is not in a good mood, even if he scolds us a few words, we will not do it.
We will care. We just hope that the young master will not be impatient or worry too much when something happens. With his ability, nothing should be able to trouble the young master. If the young master calms down, he should be able to come up with a good solution."
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said, "Am I really that powerful?" "In the slave's heart... the young master is omnipotent." Xie Yingying said softly.
Lin Jue sighed and said: "Omnipotent? It would be great if I was really omnipotent. This time, a good thing has gone wrong, and I have no choice. I hope... I hope things will not be like this.
That's bad. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to forgive myself."
Xie Yingying said softly: "Young Master, Yingying is an ignorant woman, and Yingying can't help you. But if Young Master is asked to do anything, Yingying will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Lin Jue nodded and said, "I understand, Miss Yingying, I'm worrying you."
Xie Yingying said quietly: "That's nothing. It's a pity that Yingying is just worried in vain and can't help the young master."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "You have already helped me. Now that you have come and said these few words to me, I feel much better. If the sky falls, it will be like this, let alone the sky will not fall. This matter
It won't affect the Grand Theater, and you don't have to worry about me. Today's performance was very good, and I'm very satisfied. Thank you for your hard work."
Xie Yingying looked at Lin Jue quietly and said: "It's not hard work for the slave family, it's the real hard work for the young master. Have a sip of tea, young master. I'll order someone to bring some food. Please eat some food, young master. Don't think about those things for the time being."
Lin Jue thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, I will have dinner here and go back."
…
Guishan Island's recruitment was indeed as Lin Jue expected, and the mistakes were intentional. After the successful suppression of bandits on Guishan Island, Liang Wang Guo Bing, Yan Zhengsu and others jointly mentioned Guishan in the memorial.
Shandao people and others actively assisted the officers and soldiers in exterminating the pirates. Guo Bing and Yan Zhengshen also made memorials to everyone on Guishan Island to ask for credit, expressing their willingness to submit to the imperial court and naturalize as citizens, hoping that the imperial court would reward them.
Recruitment and naturalization are allowed.
This was originally a good thing. The Guishan Island cottage was like a thorn in Hongze Lake, affecting a large area of surrounding prefectures and counties, becoming the biggest hidden danger in the interior of the court. Unfortunately, the court could not pull out this thorn.
But this time, they voluntarily surrendered and assisted the officers and soldiers in suppressing the bandits. According to common sense, this matter would definitely be accepted. Guo Bing and Yan Zhengsu also believed that after the memorial was submitted, the Holy Emperor would quickly agree.
Instruct the relevant people to handle the contact. It can be said that this matter is almost not difficult.
However, Guo Bing and Yan Zhengshen ignored one point. The suppression of the pirates successfully changed the fate of Prince Liang's palace, which made it slim for them to persuade the Holy Admiral Guo Bing to recall him to the capital. Guo Bing had merit in suppressing the pirates.
He once again proved his value in Hangzhou. This time, even the Holy Emperor may not be able to call him back to the capital in the name of ineffectiveness. This is not good news for some of Guo Bing's political opponents.
The representative figure is Prime Minister Lu Zhongtian.
For Lu Zhongtian, Guo Bing must not be arrogant because of this lucky success, let alone allow him to do whatever he wants. This will greatly weaken the influence of this matter and tell those who have wavered in their stance because of this matter that he can still do it.
To embarrass Guo Bing, he still has the ability to punish anyone who comes into contact with Guo Bing. It is precisely based on this mentality that Guishan Island Shanzhai became the first victim.
This is also because among all those who participated in the anti-bandit operation, Yan Zhengsheng is difficult to shake. Ning Haijun is under the jurisdiction of Privy Councilor Yang Jun, and it is not easy to start. Among them, the Guishan Island cottage and the man named Lin Jue emerged.
People are the easiest to attack. The Guishan Island cottage itself is a place where filth and evil practices hide, so it has become the first choice.
