Lin Wanrong listened in surprise, why is it this news again? The young master obtained it by spending money, but where did Sì Dé hear it from? He looked at Sì Dé with confusion and said, "You were searching for virgin boy's urine, how did you manage to gather such important information?"
Sì Dé flattered and smiled, "This news has already spread in Jinling City. As soon as I heard it, I hurried back to report to Third Brother and the young master. In my opinion, it's better to believe it than to doubt. With the extraordinary talents of Third Brother and the young master, Miss Luo is practically within reach with your participation."
The young master shook his head seriously, "I purely joined this grand event with the attitude of mutual exchange and learning. Don't think of me in such a disgraceful way."
This matter has actually become widely known in Jinling City? Damn it, is Luo Ning playing tricks on me? Doesn't seem like it, when she hugged me, it was tight. Moreover, with my charm, if it's in my pocket, can it run away? This is truly bizarre.
Things that you don't want when handed to you, become somewhat tempting when taken back by others. This is true for any man. I am a real man, of course, not an exception. Lin Wanrong felt a bit uneasy in his heart, quickly found an excuse to console himself, and was about to go out when he saw Xiao Feng rushing towards him anxiously, saying, "Lin Brother, Lin Brother, something's wrong, something's wrong."
"What's wrong again?" Lin Wanrong said impatiently, "Xiao Feng, don't panic when things happen. Even sages have taught that."
Xiao Feng steadied himself, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Lin Brother, Master Cheng has sent soldiers to arrest people."
Master Cheng? Cheng De? Lin Wanrong was surprised and asked, "Arrest people? Who are they trying to arrest?"
Xiao Feng urgently said, "They said our Xiao family participated in a brawl in the city last night and want to take us back for interrogation. Right now, Master Cheng's son is leading soldiers in the hall waiting, and Miss is reasoning with them."
Master Cheng's son? Cheng Ruinian? Is he the one leading the soldiers here? Lin Wanrong sneered and asked, "Is it him?"
"It's him!" Xiao Feng said with resentment, "Miss asked me to find Third Brother and told you not to go out. She will handle everything, and we can discuss it after today."
Handle it herself? This silly girl. Does she think this matter can be easily handled? Damn it, Cheng Ruinian is clearly looking for trouble. I'm not in a good mood today, I'll go and meet him.
"Sì Dé, put down your virgin boy's urine. Xiao Feng, let's go." Sì Dé dropped the bowl of virgin boy's urine to the ground. Lin Wanrong chuckled and walked towards the hall with the two.
The young master quickly threw his book aside, caught up with them in three steps, and shouted loudly, "Lin Third, are we going to fight? I'll go with you, you protect me."
You are really shameless, I despise you. Lin Wanrong raised his middle finger to the young master. After thinking for a while, he pulled Sì Dé aside and whispered a few words in his ear. Sì Dé nodded repeatedly and said, "Third Brother, you've chosen the right person for this matter. I will handle it properly." The two laughed heartily together.
Before they even reached the hall, they heard a man's sneering voice from afar, "Miss Xiao, your Xiao family's servants participated in the brawl in the city last night. Someone witnessed it with their own eyes. How can you deny it?"
Miss Xiao said, "Master Cheng, I have reiterated multiple times. Last night, someone tried to invade our Xiao family's old house, vandalize our Xiao family's workshop. Our Xiao family members fought back to protect our property. Moreover, Miss Tao Wanying from Jinling Prefecture was present and witnessed it personally. Speaking of which, our Xiao family was forced to defend ourselves. Where did the brawl come from?"
Cheng Ruinian snorted, "You call it self-defense? Is it self-defense to gather a crowd for a brawl, causing injuries and disabilities? Someone saw it with their own eyes. If Miss doesn't want to hand over the criminals, then we have no choice. Come, take Miss back to the Prefectural Command."
"Slow down, slow down." Lin Wanrong walked into the hall with a smile, looking around. Surprised, he said, "Wow, so many people, it's so lively."
Seeing him come in, Miss Xiao became anxious, giving him a quick eye signal. Lin Wanrong pretended not to see. He glanced at Cheng Ruinian and said, "This young man is so tall, fierce, and extraordinary. He looks somewhat familiar, not sure which big shot's son he is!"
"Bold!" A soldier next to Cheng Ruinian shouted loudly, "This is the son of Commandant Cheng De, Master Cheng Ruinian. A mere servant like you has no place to interrupt. Get out of the way."
Lin Wanrong chuckled, "No wonder he looks so familiar, it turns out to be Master Cheng. I haven't seen Master Cheng go to Miaoyu Lane in the past few days. I was thinking of having more exchanges with you."
Talking about Miaoyu Lane immediately reminded Cheng Ruinian of old and new grievances. A hint of sternness flashed across his face and he said, "Lin Third, I won't waste useless words with you today. The Xiao family participated in the city brawl yesterday, and you are the mastermind. Come, take Lin Third and Miss Xiao back to the Prefectural Command."
Lin Wanrong was surprised, "Brawl? Where did that come from? We are all good citizens. Yesterday's incident was a disaster for our Xiao family. Look at our brother here—" Lin Wanrong pointed at Sì Dé, and Sì Dé cooperatively raised his head, showing bruises: "The thieves broke into our Xiao residence, said nothing, smashed anything they encountered, and attacked anyone they saw. This brother of mine almost lost his life. Our Xiao family's property was damaged, the workshop was smashed, and we lost ten thousand taels of silver. We were lamenting the injustice. Why does Master Cheng accuse my Xiao family of brawling? This is truly a huge injustice."
Cheng Ruinian sneered, "Calling it a brawl is not an injustice. I have eyewitnesses. Come, bring the witness—"
As he spoke, a thin, shifty-looking guy rushed into the hall, saluted Cheng Ruinian, and obsequiously said, "I'm Chen Xiaosong, greetings to Master Cheng."
Cheng Ruinian nodded and said, "Chen Xiaosong, tell everyone what you saw last night, remember, tell the truth."
Before Chen Xiaosong could speak, he was splashed with a bucket of dirty water. Unable to endure, he hurriedly said, "You're talking nonsense, I didn't kill anyone. The person who attacked you is Brother Long, who led the
team yesterday. I was outside releasing information and didn't even enter the Xiao residence."
"Oh -" Lin Wanrong, Side, Xiao Feng and Young Master Biao all shouted together: "Brother Long is the one who killed the man. You are responsible for keeping watch. I understand. Then where is Brother Long?"
"Brother Long is in Mr. Cheng's residence -" The witness was about to say more, but was interrupted by Cheng Ruinian's violent cough. Cheng Ruinian glanced at the witness angrily: "Chen Xiaosong, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Oh, I understand!" Lin Wanrong smiled and said to Cheng Ruinian: "Mr. Cheng, we understand, do you understand?"
Cheng Ruinian's face was livid and he said nothing. The eldest lady also noticed something. She looked at Cheng Ruinian and sneered: "Mr. Cheng, is this the witness you brought? But what a coincidence, the witness you found is But it was the murderer who smashed into my Xiao family last night. He admitted it himself. Who is here—"
The eldest lady yelled, and Xiao Feng, Side and others hurriedly said: "No, he's not here!"
Xiao Yuruo snorted coldly, stretched out her slender jade finger, pointed at Chen Xiaoqiang and said: "Take this traitor down and send him to the Jinling Mansion for investigation."
Side no longer looked decadent at this time. He was full of energy and Xiao Feng and the others were about to rush forward when they heard Cheng Ruinian say: "Be brave, who of you dares?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said: "Mr. Cheng, I am naturally timid. Please don't scare me."
The eldest lady raised her eyebrows and shouted in a sweet voice: "Mr. Cheng, you were the one who brought the witness to my house today, and the accusation was that my Xiao family participated in the fight. But just now everyone saw that you The witnesses personally admitted that he was the thief who participated in the siege of my Xiao family last night. Why should we take him? Could it be that Mr. Cheng also wants to protect him? Mr. Cheng is so aggressive and protects private parties. Although our Xiao family is weak, it is also You can't let others bully you. I'll go see the official with you right now."
"The twists and turns of right and wrong cannot be explained clearly in a few words now. The court will have its own conclusion. You'd better come with me and I'll command the Yamen to explain it properly." Cheng Ruinian hummed.
He glanced at the soldiers behind him, and those soldiers rushed forward to grab the eldest lady and Lin Wanrong. Even though the eldest lady had a lot of reasons, Cheng Ruinian was deliberately trying to find fault. There was no way for her to reason. She was shocked and angry. She was about to shout when she saw Lin San holding her sleeve and smiling.
Xiao Yuruo glanced at him and calmed down, no longer struggling. Those soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and were about to touch the hem of the eldest lady's clothes. Suddenly, Lin Wanrong slammed the table and shouted: "Cheng Ruinian, you are so brave."
His shout came out of the blue, with a hint of internal force, like a thundering roar that made Cheng Ruinian turn pale and sit down on the chair.
"Lin San, you, what are you going to do?" Seeing Lin Wanrong sneer and looking at him with disdain, Cheng Ruinian felt guilty and stammered.
"What do I want to do? I want to ask you what you want to do!" Lin Wanrong smiled sinisterly: "You brought soldiers and broke into the Xiao Mansion to arrest people. Could it be that you wanted to rebel?"
With this hat down, even the Stone Man wouldn't be able to sit still. The few soldiers who were about to move hurriedly stopped their movements, looked at each other, and did not dare to take a step forward.
"Rebellion?" Cheng Ruinian was shocked, his heart was pounding, and he couldn't sit still anymore. He jumped up from the chair and stuttered: "What rebellion, Lin San, you, you, are so brave. "
Lin San chuckled: "Cheng Ruinian, my Mr. Cheng, I said you were treason, do you think I wrongly blamed you?"
Everyone in the hall was so scared that no one dared to speak. Lin Wanrong's big hat was really too scary. No one can stand it. Cheng Ruinian's face turned pale and he said, "Lin San, don't slander anyone, or I'll take you to see an official."
Lin Wanrong snorted disdainfully: "Meet an official? At least you, Mr. Cheng, still have some memory and know that you are not an official. To put it bluntly, hehe, Mr. Cheng, although you have a commander-in-chief as your father, don't forget In addition to your own identity, you have neither official position nor fame, you are just a commoner like me."
"Hehe, a commoner brought soldiers and horses belonging to the imperial court, secretly entered the palace, robbed people, killed people and sold goods. And the people he robbed were not ordinary people, but the descendants of Mr. Xiao Ge. Who is Mr. Xiao Ge? That is Mr. Wende, the emperor's posthumous title, has a plaque inscribed by the emperor still hanging on the gate of the Xiao family, and countless people worship and respect him. Who dares to be so presumptuous in front of his old man's house? However, today we saw Mr. Cheng, and you openly despised him. The emperor brought troops and horses to fight through the door. Hehe, it must be a pleasure to kill. To openly oppose the emperor and say that you are not treason is simply unreasonable! Hehe, you are very nice and arrogant, much more arrogant than me. "
These words made Side and Xiao Feng sweat roll on their foreheads. The third brother started from a small arrest operation, cited classics and eloquently, and pushed this piece of shit Cheng Ruinian to the gallows for rebellion. He was truly a genius. The eldest lady glanced at him and sighed in her heart. With this man's eloquence, it would be a waste not to go on missions to various countries.
Young Master Biao listened to it heartily, and gave Lin Sanyi a thumbs up and said: "Lin San, you are so awesome!" I am the god of deception, and Lin Wanrong smiled secretly.
Cheng Ruinian was sweating all over after hearing this. He never thought that he had come to arrest a few people, but they were given such a big label. If his father found out about this, what would happen?
"Lin San, you have such a sharp mouth -" Cheng Ruinian gritted his teeth and said, "These soldiers are my family members, not soldiers!"
"My family members also wear helmets? Are they raising soldiers privately?" Lin Wanrong's eyes widened even more: "That's even worse. Mr. Cheng, you are planning to go all the way to the dark side. Oh, please turn back as soon as possible. , I bless you."
Speaking of bickering, who in the world is Lin San's opponent? Cheng Ruinian wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly defended: "No, no, they are infantry soldiers and horses. I just borrowed them temporarily." Cheng Ruinian was so anxious that he was already incoherent.
"Infantry troops and horses are called in temporarily, oh, I understand." Lin Wanrong sneered: "Master Cheng, take a step back and say, even if my Xiao family really participates in the fighting, it will not be your turn to command the Yamen. Guan, this is a local matter, not a military matter. It should be handled by the Jinling Mansion Yamen or the Governor's Mansion Yamen. The commander-in-chief is only in charge of the military affairs of a province and cannot interfere in government affairs. It is controlled by the Governor-General. This is the rule of the court, and it is precisely for this purpose Prevent someone from plotting rebellion by taking advantage of the military power in your hands. Now you not only mobilize the cavalry and infantry camps without permission, but also interfere in local affairs. In addition, you break into the Xiao family privately and provoke the imperial power. Wow, if this spreads to the Ministry of War, the censor, and the imperial censor, To the emperor's ears - well, this is a taboo thing, Mr. Cheng, I'm not telling you, you are too ambitious."
Lin Wanrong mourned, with a look of sympathy on his face, and patted Cheng Ruinian on the shoulder: "Brother Cheng, please forgive me."
Damn it, I will scare you to death, Lin Wanrong laughed sinisterly, it feels so good to put the shit basin on someone else. It is refreshing to destroy the enemy physically, but to destroy the enemy spiritually is the highest state. I am moving in this direction. But what happened today is very strange. How could Cheng De, a cunning old man, send his own son to find trouble? It is estimated that this boy surnamed Cheng came secretly to find a place without telling his father.
Cheng Ruinian turned pale and couldn't say a word. He was a piece of shit, even worse than the abandoned Tao Dongcheng. That day when he was jealous of Qin Xianer in Miao Yufang, Lin Wanrong had already spotted him.
The eldest lady pulled his sleeve and said softly: "You just like to make up nonsense reasons. It sounds very scary."
Lin Wanrong said hey: "Miss, this is not scary. The struggle between the government and the party is thousands of times more serious than this. Take today's incident as an example. From our point of view, Cheng Xiaozi is taking people for no reason. It seems like a trivial matter. , but if it falls into the hands of an old fox with ulterior motives, he will definitely expand this matter infinitely and raise it to the level of the nation. Just like the one-parent relationship I just talked about, once this is added, it is originally a simple matter. Things, what the emperor saw from the papers were: deploying troops without permission, interfering in government affairs, contempt for imperial power, being obedient, how can these things be combined together? Let me tell you, what the emperor saw from the papers for impeaching others were all That's why it's easiest to deceive the emperor."
The eldest lady covered her lips and smiled, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were soft, and she said softly: "Who are you talking about as an old fox? I think you are an out-and-out little fox. If you go to deceive the emperor, no one can compare with you. "
The eldest lady's expression was so charming that Lin Wanrong's heart jumped. I am a little fox and you are a little vixen. You three sisters are all very charming.
"What are you looking at?" The eldest lady scolded, blushing behind her ears, lowering her head and whispering: "I'm not afraid of others seeing it."
"Hehe, I don't care about deceiving the emperor. I can just deceive a few princesses and concubines." Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
The eldest lady's face changed, all her charm disappeared, she turned her head and said: "You are such a dirty person, don't even think about me talking to you again."
This girl can fall out of love faster than turning over a book. Lin Wanrong laughed and joked a few words with the eldest lady, but Cheng Ruinian stood there awkwardly, neither leaving nor staying.
Damn, are you still waiting for me to leave you for lunch? Lin Wanrong was about to tell Cheng Ruinian to get out of here, but suddenly he heard the roar of gongs and drums outside the house. A servant ran in, with a look of surprise on his face, and shouted: "Miss, third brother, I'm so happy, so happy."
The eldest lady had just regained some of her normal appearance and immediately her face was full of joy. She spat softly, "You are a slave who can't speak. Who will be happy with him?"
Lin Wanrong laughed awkwardly and said: "What a big joy, the time for the big joy has not come yet."
The servant said breathlessly: "Third brother, what a great happy event. Lord Fu Yin, together with Lord Governor, have come together to send a plaque to our Xiao family."
Send Bian? Damn it, Lin Wanrong kicked him in the butt, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about as a gift? Make it clear to me next time. It's a plaque."
"Yes, yes, give me a plaque, give me a plaque!" The servant hurriedly changed his words.
The eldest lady glanced at Lin Wanrong in confusion, as if asking him, and seemed to be talking to herself: "Master Hou and Master Luo sent us plaques? Why is this?"
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "If someone doesn't talk to me, even if I know about it, I won't tell her."
The eldest lady snorted, but before she could say anything, drums and drums sounded in the yard, and a group of people walked in. The first person in the Governor's Mansion was Luo Min's teacher, whom I met when Shiweixian opened his business. Next to him stood the boy Luo Yuan, smiling and bowing to Lin Wanrong.
The leader of the Jinling Mansion was a young girl, with a group of men behind him. Some of them looked familiar. Lin Wanrong looked at them for a few times and then laughed out loud. Weren't these the same people he had fought with on the morning he went to Hangzhou? ? Why did you come to the door today? The girl looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement on her face.
Ouch, why is this little girl named Tao here again? Didn't you finish everything you said yesterday? Before Lin Wanrong finished thinking, he heard the eldest lady say: "Sister Wanying, what's going on?"
Tao Wanying smiled and said: "Sister Yuruo, don't ask anymore, just prepare to receive the plaque."
