"Uncle Huo, come and play again later!"
"Yes, sir! It's been a long time since you've been here. Why did you just stay all afternoon and then leave!"
"Don't forget us after you leave! Remember to come and see us often!"
In Bianjing City, outside Huixian Yage.
Three women in cool clothes stood at the door, reluctantly bidding farewell to Jiang Lin.
Facing this cash cow who spent a lot of money but rarely showed up, the three of them all showed a reluctant attitude.
After all, the other party is a grand master's butler who spends a lot of money.
If you just take out a reward at random, it will be enough for more than half a year!
Seeing the nostalgic looks of several brothel women, Jiang Lin's vanity was greatly satisfied at this moment.
Although I knew in my heart that everything in front of me was bought by me with real money.
But money can indeed buy dignity and bring infinite satisfaction!
This is a fact that no one can change.
After leaving Huixian Argyle, Jiang Lin sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then hurried back to the Taishi Mansion.
It was getting late now and it was already dinner time.
There are thousands of lights on the street, and there is a warm scene everywhere.
However, as soon as Jiang Lin returned to the Grand Master's Mansion, he saw that the mansion was deserted and deserted, unlike the bustle at dinner in the past.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Jiang Lin's heart sank, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.
"Steward Jiang, where have you been?"
"Master Taishi has been looking for you for two hours, but he still can't find you. He is already angry!"
Seeing Jiang Lin suddenly coming back, the maid kindly reminded him.
Hearing the words of the maid, Jiang Lin almost suffered a cardiac arrest.
But if you are really helpless and don’t want to face it anymore, then you have to face it bravely!
Jiang Lin took a few deep breaths, lowered his head and came to the door of the study. He saw Shangguan Yi holding a wolf hair in his hand and lowering his head to write.
"Ahem... Well, let's meet the Grand Master!"
"Sir, my subordinate is late..."
However, Shangguan Yi was not as furious as Jiang Lin imagined.
He didn't even raise his head, but asked Jiang Lin in an extremely understated manner: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Lin hurriedly reported: "Master Qi, when my subordinates rushed to Zheng's Mansion, there was no one outside Zheng's Mansion."
"The second young lady is not in the house either. I don't know where she went!"
"My subordinates searched the city of Bianjing all afternoon. After making inquiries from various sources, they learned that the second young lady was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment..."
Having said this, Jiang Lin did not forget to pretend to comfort Shangguan Yi: "But there is no need to worry, sir. Qing Rong, my subordinate, will go and inquire about the situation first!"
"Let's see if we can pick up the second lady first..."
Jiang Lin originally thought that Shangguan Yi would be a little panicked when he heard that his daughter was taken to prison.
No matter how calm the Grand Master is, he can never react completely in the face of such changes.
However, to Jiang Lin's surprise, Shangguan Yi turned out to be much calmer than he imagined!
No, this kind of calmness is so weird that it makes Jiang Lin feel a little creepy!
"Sir, aren't you... worried about the second lady?"
Shangguan Yi did not answer, but continued to concentrate on writing.
Every stroke he wrote was an unspeakable torture for Jiang Lin.
Finally, Shangguan Yi stopped and looked up at Jiang Lin, who was feeling a little guilty in front of him.
"People from the Punishment Department have received news that Xing'er secretly kidnapped Cheng Xun's daughter and has been taken to the Punishment Department's prison, waiting to be punished."
"However, even if there is no news from the Ministry of Punishment, this matter has already been spread throughout the capital and has become a topic of conversation for everyone."
"The grand master's daughter was personally escorted by the fourth prince. Isn't this big news?"
As he spoke, Shangguan Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at Jiang Lin in front of him.
"Does your dignified housekeeper of the Grand Master's Mansion actually need such a long time to inquire about her whereabouts?"
Shangguan Yi's voice was not loud, but when Jiang Lin heard it, he felt unspeakable fear!
His knees softened and he knelt down facing Shangguan Yi.
"Master Taishi, calm down!"
"Subordinate... I also heard the news, but I was not sure for a while, so I went out to inquire about the news and spent some time..."
Jiang Lin lowered his head in a hurry, searching for excuses in his mind.
He didn't expect that the source of the Grand Master's information would be so well-informed!
How could Shangguan Yi be an ordinary person? How could he just listen to Jiang Lin's excuses?
"I thought that after following me for all these years, you already knew how to handle things."
"I didn't expect that you still let me down!"
Seeing a cold glint flash in Shangguan Yi's eyes, Jiang Lin's heart trembled and he kowtowed hurriedly.
"Master Taishi, calm down!"
"My subordinate is indeed hiding something from you, but I am also thinking about your body and bones!"
"You had an old headache, and it was finally cured with a virgin medicine. I really don't want you to have another headache after hearing this news!"
After hearing this, Shangguan Yi's expression finally softened.
"So you think I won't be angry if you don't tell me the truth?"
"Of course not!" Jiang Lin denied flatly, "Actually, this afternoon, my subordinate went to see Guo Tiande, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment!"
"Master Guo said that Qi Yuandao, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, is solely responsible for this matter, and he has no right to interfere!"
"But my subordinates have been begging Mr. Guo for a long time, hoping that he can take care of things and see if he can get the second lady out first!"
Shangguan Yi narrowed his slender eyes and looked at Jiang Lin thoughtfully.
"Is this true?"
"No lies!" Jiang Lin stretched out three fingers and swore to Shangguan Yi.
In the afternoon, Jiang Lin did meet with Guo Tiande, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
But the meeting place was Huixian Accord in the city!
Of course, Jiang Lin was also very understanding when they met and did not mention this matter.
Although it was nonsense, his words did temporarily calm Shangguan Yi's mood.
"very good."
"I want to hear a satisfactory result before tomorrow morning!"
"otherwise……"
Jiang Lin broke out in cold sweat instantly.
I was just talking nonsense and talking nonsense.
Originally, I just wanted to appease the grand master. After all, the fourth prince had to handle this matter personally, and it was useless for anyone to come forward!
Unexpectedly, the Grand Master actually believed them all!
But it is impossible to disobey the Grand Master's order.
Jiang Lin had no choice but to show an expression that was uglier than crying.
"yes!"
"I obey my orders!"
