Early in the morning, Lin Ze was concentrating on a large bowl of delicious soup. The little eunuch next to him secretly stuffed a small note into Lin Ze while others were not paying attention. Lin Ze silently took the note into his arms.
Then he found a place where no one was around, and when he opened it, it was Wang Li who asked him to meet him.
In fact, Wang Li had met with him several times in this way before. Each time, he asked him about Hu Hai's recent news and told him how he overtly and covertly dispelled Hu Hai's desire to fight for the throne.
Lin Ze had already communicated with Huang Banban and Hu Hai. When Hu Hai heard about this, he immediately couldn't help but want to arrest the young eunuch for torture, but Lin Ze and Huang Banban stopped him. Hu Hai was full of
He asked doubtfully: "Since you knew he was a spy, why didn't you arrest him and torture him to see if you could find out anything? Even if you didn't find out anything, isn't it the right thing to do to eliminate the spy?
"
After hearing this, Lin Ze laughed and pretended to touch his beardless chin: "That's wrong. First of all, spies in secret are scary, but spies in the open are not only not scary, but can also be used by us; secondly, a little eunuch, most likely
Fusu and the others used money to bribe, and used power and intimidation to recruit people to inquire about information and pass on information. They may not necessarily know much information themselves. Catching him is not beneficial to the overall situation, and it will also alert the snake, which is not worth the loss. In addition, a little eunuch like this,
Fusu and the others can easily find countless of them, so it is better to keep them and pass on the news, confuse the other party and lower the other party's vigilance. When they need to plan something big, it may be a good move."
Hu Hai looked in disbelief. It was not as exaggerated as what you said. In the end, Huang Banban explained a few words, and Hu Hai suddenly realized, yes, you are good or bad, and you are always right in dealing with others. Lin Ze...
...Isn’t it just that I have crushed you several times in terms of IQ? And you still say this about me...
According to Lin Ze's original idea, he didn't want to compete with Fusu and his group of "second-generation officials", so everyone was quite happy during the first few meetings. Wang Li also gave Lin Ze some gold tickets as a reward for good performance.
Of course, when Lin Ze came back, he backhanded it to Hu Hai and Huang Banban, which made them very praised and moved.
Lin Ze secretly snickered: On one side is some gold given in a short period of time, and on the other side is a gold mine that will be mined endlessly in the long term. A fool will choose the gold mine, and handing over the gold ticket is just for better mining, so basically
Shang Linze was able to respond to almost everything he asked for in Ganquan Palace.
When Lin Ze arrived at the agreed place, Wang Li was already waiting for him. Lin Ze smiled and greeted him from a distance. When he saw him coming, Wang Li was not as enthusiastic as the previous times. Instead, he just responded with a few words.
Lin Ze didn't care and asked: "Brother Li, what do you want to see me for?"
Wang Li was silent for a moment, and then said in a feigned sadness: "Lin Ze, something happened to your father. You don't know whether he is alive or dead at the moment."
Lin Ze's head buzzed, as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer. His whole face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly grabbed Wang Li's arm with his hand: "What happened to my father?"
A trace of anger flashed in Wang Li's eyes, and he waved Lin Ze's hand away, and motioned to Lin Ze not to touch him. Although Lin Ze was anxious, he restrained himself, and saw Wang Li tidying up his clothes slowly.
He said coldly: "Uncle Lin and the others went to sea with the Imperial Army. On the fifth day, they encountered a sudden and huge storm at sea. Even the Imperial Army was caught off guard. In an instant, the big ship where Uncle Lin was on was directly choked by the storm.
The ship broke into pieces, and all of the 1,500 people on board, including the imperial guards, were swept into the sea. The Imperial Guards only had time to protect the other two large ships. After the storm, a search and rescue operation was carried out, and only less than 500 people were rescued, including
Including Uncle Lin, there is no one alive or dead for the others, but the vast sea is boundless and there are no islands nearby, so the possibility of survival is slim."
Wang Li looked at Lin Ze's devastated look and couldn't help but look at him with contempt. However, thinking that he still had things he needed to do, he couldn't help but patiently persuade Lin Ze: "But you don't have to worry too much. Uncle Lin is here."
Even if he has the Prime Minister, the Imperial Master will not ignore him." Seeing that Lin Ze still had a dull look on his face and did not come back to his senses, he couldn't help but get angry and pushed Lin Ze with his hand: "Lin Ze, you have to know,
Something happened to Uncle Lin, and now your biggest supporter is gone. As for the Wu'an Junfu, they didn't even tell you the news about Uncle Lin's accident. This shows their attitude towards you. The only one you can rely on now is your righteous uncle, who is my father.
With me, as long as you do things well for me, I won't treat you badly."
Lin Ze finally recovered from his dazed state. He first thought about the authenticity of the matter and felt that it was probably true. There was no need for Wang Li to concoct such a lie to deceive him, because he could not withstand the investigation.
The attitude has always been the same. This kind of wealthy family itself looks down on Lin Ze and Lin's father's humble background. Lin's father is relatively valuable as an investment. As for Lin Ze, they have no value at all. Moreover, Lin Ze is now alive.
The turmoil over the capture of the legitimate son was due to the fact that he had sent Lin Zejin to the palace in the name of Lord Wu An, and now it was too late to clear up the relationship. In addition, only a fool would take Wang Li's comforting words seriously, not to mention that Wang Ben and Lin's father were sworn brothers.
Many relatives, but Lin Ze is only Lin Ze after all, not Lin's father. I don't mind standing up for you for a small matter. In the name of my own benevolence, if there is a real conflict of interest, I'm afraid the Wang family won't mind erasing Lin Ze.
, Lin Ze had already made a decision while thinking about it.
Lin Ze asked in a hoarse voice: "What do you need me to do?"
Wang Li then smiled with satisfaction: "That's right. People still have to look forward. There are two things I need you to do this time: first, you must not break through to the second level of martial arts; second, find a way to abolish it.
One of Zhang Han and Li Xin must not be allowed to retain the first-level martial arts cultivation."
Lin Ze was shocked: "You are crazy. The first one is okay. But if I commit such a thing the second time, how can Hu Hai get around me?"
Just listen to Wang Li Youyou's words: "This assessment is inherently unfair to Mr. Fusu, but since His Majesty has given the order, no one dares to object. But we are dissatisfied. After the assessment, we can't
There is no room for us to slack off. However, Mr. Fusu is the highly anticipated candidate for the crown prince, so he must win every assessment without any surprises. We paid a huge price to let Wei Qing and Yuchi, who are still second-level martial arts,
Breaking through to the third level of martial arts, but the middle level is not so easy to break through. Although we are still seriously looking for a way, but for the sake of safety, we can only destroy one of you who has already broken through. Zhang Han and Li Xin are going to
It's strange that I didn't understand the current situation, stepped into the whirlpool of seizing the direct descendants, and broke through the martial arts cultivation level at this time without knowing whether to live or die." He said with a fierce look in his eyes.
As if he was aware of Lin Ze's identity, he suddenly said in a gentler tone: "You are different from them. Where our relationship is, I will naturally take care of you. I have tried to win over the two of them many times, but they have never wavered.
You really are asking for your own death."
Lin Ze said unequivocally: "Then what do you want me to do, drug? Assassinate? No matter what I do, I will probably be torn into pieces by the angry Young Master Hu Hai in the end."
Wang Li chuckled: "It's no need to bother. Don't you often spar with them? I'll teach you a secret martial art. When you spar, just pretend to be careless and break their bones. Afterwards, Hu Hai knows about it, so you can
You can evade it by saying that you didn't pay attention or be careful, but there won't be any future trouble. And with Mr. Fusu coming to protect you, you will definitely be safe and worry-free."
Lin Ze couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. It's okay if you didn't say the last sentence. You really think I'm a child and you can deceive me. It's okay if Fusu doesn't come forward. If he does, he will definitely die. I guess you will feel that I am useless by then.
I'm just using the waste again to make Hu Hai think that I am one of yours. If I hit him hard once, it will be a shadow for him to fight with you in the future.
Seeing that he was still hesitant, Wang Li couldn't help but feel anxious: "As long as you can do it, just say whatever you want."
Lin Ze stared at Wang Li and spoke slowly: "How about mobilizing all the forces of the Wang family to help me find my father?"
"This is impossible," Wang Li replied subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and hurriedly explained: "Given the relationship between my father and Uncle Lin, it is my duty to find Uncle Lin, but there is no need to use this as a condition. How about
You can open another one, top-notch exercises, precious medicinal materials, and martial arts secrets, no problem."
Lin Ze didn't answer, but just looked at him silently. In the end, Wang Li had no choice but to grit his teeth: "Okay, that's it, but I can't guarantee that I can find it."
"Notify me when there is news," Lin Ze reached for the handkerchief recording the secret method, asked Xiao Jin to scan it, then threw it back to Wang Li and turned around to leave.
Wang Li quickly shouted: "Remember to take action before the assessment period."
Lin Ze just left without looking back.
In Ganquan Palace, Lin Ze found Hu Hai and Huang Banban and said, "My father is in trouble, and I need your help." Hu Hai looked excited: "Xiao Linzi, if there is anything I can do to help you, just ask.
, Huang Banban, mobilized the entire power of Ganquan Palace to help Xiao Linzi."
Lin Ze's heart warmed when he heard that, but he told them the news he got from Wang Li, but Hu Hai looked directly at Huang Banban, saying, please see how you can help.
Huang Banban frowned and said: "The place where the incident happened is too far away. It is difficult for us to get involved. I can only mobilize all the forces in Ganquan Palace to help you pay close attention to the news inside and outside Chang'an City. Will it be useful in the end?"
It’s not known yet.”
Lin Ze smiled, expressed his understanding, and then explained: "My father once became sworn brothers with King Ben of Wuchenghou Mansion and Meng Tian of Zhongxinhou Mansion. Eunuch Huang helped me pay attention to the movements of these two families, and also with Wu'an Junfu.
, after all, my father is the son-in-law of Wu'an Jun's Mansion. Let's see, Eunuch Huang will help make arrangements and send me to Wu'an Jun's Mansion, and I will discuss the follow-up matters with my eldest mother."
Huang Banban immediately called a few older eunuchs and gave instructions one by one. Then he arranged for a carriage, accompanied by a coachman and two Ganquan Palace guards, to take Lin Ze to Lord Wu'an's mansion.
The carriage that Lin Ze was riding in stopped at the entrance of Wu'an Jun's Mansion. The guard next to him helped hand a greeting card to the welcoming door at the door. The welcoming door of Wu'an Jun's Mansion opened the greeting card: Lin Ze, the son of Lin Dong, a member of the Royal Guards
I’m paying a visit to Miss Gongsun Yue of your residence. Lin Ze didn’t write Mrs. Lin, but he was afraid that the people in the residence would not be able to find her at the moment.
Menzi glanced at Lin Ze one last time and responded politely: "Please wait a moment, let me go and report first." Then he walked inside with the greeting card.
Lin Ze patiently stood at the door and waited. He slowly calmed down and thought about how to speak later. After all, Gongsun Yue was pregnant and could not be too stimulated. He should say it more tactfully, but not
Does she know if the Gongsun family has told her?
After a while, the doorman came out in a hurry, and said to Lin Ze with an annoyed look: "Young Master, please come back. You are among the unwelcome guests in Wu'an Jun's Mansion. Why?
I still want to come over."
Lin Ze was stunned, but he didn't expect his disciple to say that, and quickly said: "I guess your house made a mistake. As long as you give the invitation to Miss Gongsun Yue, she will naturally come out to see me."
"Are you able to see the noble daughter of the Gongsun family if you want?" Menzi scolded. If it weren't for the fact that there were two guards around Lin Ze who were not easy to mess with, he would have wanted to chase them away.
Lin Ze looked disbelieving and said angrily: "You must have not given the invitation to her, right? You little slave, you dare to deceive the superiors and subordinates. Miss Gongsun Yue will not spare you if she finds out."
The disciple was furious when he heard this: "How dare you kid to bite me back? I kindly sent you a greeting card. After the third lady saw your greeting card, she scolded me. You are an unpopular and despicable person."
, who is qualified to see the noble daughter of my Wu'an Lord's Mansion? If you know how to look, please leave as soon as possible. When I call the guards in the mansion, it will not be so easy to leave."
After hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but think of the middle-aged woman who had looked down upon him that day. He finally understood why his disciple said that, and stepped forward to apologize: "But I wrongly blamed you. The third lady of your house may have misunderstood me, please excuse me."
Give me to Miss Gongsun Yue again, she will definitely meet with me. If the Third Madam blocks it, tell her to help my Lin family once, and Lin Ze will be rewarded generously in the future."
The disciples sneered, and everyone who came to ask for help from the mansion said so. If anyone could come and go in Wu'an Jun's Mansion at will, and ask to see whomever he wanted, wouldn't Wu'an Jun's Mansion become a wet market?
Seeing that he was unmoved, Lin Ze had no choice but to sacrifice Hu Hai's card: "I am the bodyguard of Young Master Hu Hai, and now I am working for Young Master Hu Hai. These two are also the guards of Young Master Hu Hai's Ganquan Palace. Please inform me again.
, I'm waiting for your reply here." After speaking, he pointed to the two guards beside him.
When Menzi heard Hu Hai's name, his expression finally changed. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and walked back to the house.
Lin Ze had been waiting at the door, but did not see Menzi come out again. As the sun gradually set, Lin Ze's shadow stretched very long. During the whole process, Lin Ze's face was indifferent, neither happy nor sad.
It wasn't until the sun completely set that Lin Ze laughed desperately, "I really overestimate my capabilities." However, the guard next to him heard him chuckle and say as he turned around to get on the carriage, "Wu'an Lord's Mansion, you will regret it.
