"Ah, very good."
Shangguan Yi nodded with great satisfaction, a satisfied smile on his face.
I don't know whether it was because Jiang Lin felt satisfied with his promise to him just now, or because he was recalling everything that happened last night, so he felt endless aftertaste.
"correct."
"Remember to clean up the ones in the house."
With that said, Shangguan Yi reached out and patted Jiang Lin's shoulder, then leisurely set off to go to court.
Jiang Lin has followed Shangguan Yi for many years, so he naturally understands what "cleaning up" means.
He stood in the yard all night. The head-numbing screams and cries in the bedroom last night made him feel a little numb after hearing the last one.
He even had a glimmer of fantasy. If the Grand Master really liked Xiuyue, he might be merciful and let the girl go...
But, but!
The Grand Master's last words completely broke all Jiang Lin's illusions.
He came to the dormitory numbly and looked at Xiuyue, whose face was bloodless, her hands and feet were tightly bound, and her movements were twisted, as if a hole had been ripped open in her heart.
Some can't even breathe!
Jiang Lin opened his mouth and breathed. After a long time, he realized that his limbs were already limp and he had no strength at all.
"Someone...come here!"
Three young men heard the sound and ran in quickly: "Sir, what are your orders..."
But when they saw the extremely terrifying female body on the bed, the three boys were instantly frightened!
The Grand Master likes young girls. This is a tacit secret throughout the Grand Master's residence.
However, except for Jiang Lin and the two maids who served personally, no one else knew that the final fate of these young girls was so tragic!
Jiang Lin waved his hand casually: "Get rid of it."
"……yes!"
The few servants had never seen such a scene before. They seemed to be frightened, but they did not dare to disobey Jiang Lin's order.
Soon, the messy bedroom became tidy again.
There is a small sack at the back door of Taishi Mansion.
"Master, everything has been taken care of!"
The three boys reported to Jiang Linhui while wiping the sweat from their foreheads.
Jiang Lin's solemnity was extremely hollow. He did not answer the three people's words, but instead called a group of guards from the Taishi Mansion.
"These three people are not doing things cleanly. Let's deal with it."
The expressions of the three boys immediately changed!
"Master Jiang! Spare your life!"
"The minions are all doing their best to serve you!"
"Please be patient and spare this slave!"
"..."
However, Jiang Lin's order was the order of the Grand Master, and none of the servants in the Grand Master's residence dared to disobey him.
Not long after, there were three more slightly larger sacks near the back door.
Four inconspicuous sacks were placed side by side, so sloppy and ordinary.
And this small, tattered sack is already the life of some people.
This is not the first time such a sack has appeared in the Grand Master's residence, and of course, it will not be the last time!
…
"Master Taishi! Good morning!"
"I've met the Grand Master!"
Shangguan Yi was in good spirits. When he arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all the courtiers hurriedly said hello to him.
Shangguan Yi responded with a faint smile, but his eyes were eagerly searching the crowd.
Finally, his eyes lit up and he walked quickly in one direction.
"Your Majesty, is it so early too?"
"Logically speaking, as an envoy of the Xia Kingdom, the Crown Prince does not need to come to the morning court."
"Unexpectedly, the Crown Prince came earlier than some princes!"
Xia Wenqi was chatting with Song Yu. When he saw Shangguan Yi taking the initiative to talk to him, the smile on his face became a little brighter.
"Master Taishi, you are still active in the court despite your age. You are really getting stronger with age!"
"I heard that the emperor is going to announce something related to Xia Kingdom this morning."
"This is a serious matter. As the crown prince of the Xia Kingdom, I should come to the court early."
Shangguan Yi smiled and said: "The prince is also devoted to the people of Xia Kingdom, which is really a blessing to the people of Xia Kingdom!"
"By the way, the housekeeper of my residence once went to the post house to greet the crown prince."
"I wonder if the prince is still satisfied with the gift I sincerely gave him?"
Xia Wenqi's eyebrows moved.
I have long heard that this Taishi from Daliang was smart and quick-witted. He was very successful in Daliang's officialdom.
He was the crown prince of Xia Kingdom, and he was a courtier of Daliang. He was supposed to represent two completely different camps.
But I didn't expect that in the face of huge interests, this old fox would actually offer to cooperate with me!
It's a pity that although this old man has good abacus, he can't stand up to Prince Rong, who has so many tricks in his hands!
Thinking of Song Huan, Xia Wenqi hurriedly cleared his throat, and the smile on his face faded a little.
"Steward Jiang just came to say hello, I didn't see any big gifts!"
"Master Taishi, I am the crown prince of the Xia Kingdom. Naturally, I cannot accept your gift casually."
"I appreciate your kindness!"
Shangguan Yi looked confused.
This is different from what Jiang Lin reported when he came back that night!
Didn't this Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom clearly agree to cooperate with him to make profits from the tea-horse trade?
Why does it sound like he is going to deny it after hearing his words today...
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here..."
Shangguan Yi was still a little confused, but when he saw that Emperor Liang was coming, he quickly returned to his place and stood.
Today, Emperor Liang seemed to be in a very good mood, with a radiant face and bright eyes.
Just as he was about to announce something, he saw two speakers below taking the lead to stand up.
"Your Majesty! I heard that the prince has lost his morality and done something disgusting in the imperial garden! I have the courage to ask your majesty to investigate!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! If this matter affects the relationship between Daliang and Xia Kingdom, then the prince will be the sinner of Daliang!"
"I beg you, Your Majesty, to investigate strictly!"
Song Huan stood at the head of the group of ministers. He glanced sideways at the faces of the two men and found that they were both strangers.
The slightly more powerful officials in the Daliang court were either students of Shangguan Yi or neutral factions.
These two people rarely spoke in court, and Song Huan didn't even remember their names.
It can be seen that these two people must be Xu Rong's men, and they will take advantage of the situation at this time and risk their lives to impeach the prince!
However, to say that these two people are as stupid as pigs is simply an insult to the pig's IQ.
This morning, Crown Prince Xia was also present, and these two people actually dared to mention this matter in public.
Isn't that obviously trying to expose Emperor Liang's scars in front of everyone?
With Emperor Liang's temper, even if he didn't break the legs of these two people, it would be enough to give them both face.
