This man is not young, about fifty years old, with a white face and a beard. He originally looked dignified and elegant, but at this moment his face seemed to be flushed with anger.
The military attaché hurriedly stepped forward to salute. He might be a local official responsible for public security, but he was only an eighth-rank official. When meeting the Minister of Civil Affairs, he could only nod and bow.
Zhang Shilang seemed to realize that he was too impulsive, which caused the matter of catching escaped slaves to be publicized like this. The junior official came over and said earnestly that he would definitely catch the escaped slaves. This gesture not only failed to flatter him, but actually Photographed on the horse's hooves.
Zhang Shilang pointed at the official with his finger and scolded him a few times. He looked extremely sad and got into the bullock cart. He didn't know where he went.
"I'm afraid this is more than just a runaway slave." Seeing this scene, Lin Yuqing thought to himself.
After a while, the entourage returned with a strange expression on his face. When Lin Yuqing saw it, his heart skipped a beat.
"But did you find out clearly?"
"Yes, I have already found out clearly. It is Zhang Zhong, a minor steward in Zhang Shilang's house, who embezzled things in the house and secretly sold them. This is a common thing and has never been discovered."
"It turns out that an inkstone that Shilang Zhang liked very much was also stolen and sold. When Shilang Zhang was about to give it away, he found that it was gone. As a result, he checked again and again, and found the steward, and found this big rat. .”
"At that time, Mr. Zhang ordered the steward to be dragged down and beaten. The result was that the beating was probably too urgent, so the steward simply said..."
"What did you say?" Seeing that his follower had a strange expression and could not continue speaking, Lin Yuqing felt even more uneasy and urged him immediately.
The attendant gritted his teeth: "You said your wife was cheated by Mr. Lin, and even your son is not yours. You are so mean and unkind, and you deserve to be kept in the dark and become a bastard... Then, then Mr. Zhang became furious. , overturned the table, threw the bowls and chopsticks on the floor, and asked people to beat the steward to death, while he went to the inner courtyard to find his wife... and then while he was at it, the steward escaped..."
"The Dongchuang Incident has happened!" Lin Yuqing's head buzzed, as if it had been hit hard by a hammer. The follower said Mr. Lin, how could there be someone else, but not him?
This development even gave a feeling of "it was true", because he did have a relationship with Zhang Shilang, but the child?
"How old is Mr. Zhang's son?"
The attendant lowered his head and looked secretly: "Ying, he should be about two years old..."
The time was right, but it was hard to say whether the child was his or not.
Lin Yuqing was also furious when she thought that her affair with her was directly exposed by the steward, and that she was blamed for the child's affairs.
"This guy should be beaten to death and fed to wild dogs!"
He was really angry. He had been dormant in the capital for nearly twenty years and had built up such a good reputation. How could he bear it to be ruined by a servant of the Minister's Mansion?
More importantly, he didn't know how much this person knew. Ordinarily, he and Mrs. Zhang had only met a few times, and they shouldn't have been known by the servants in Zhang Shilang's house. Could it be that Mrs. Zhang's child was really his own... No , regardless of whether it is true or not, this matter cannot be accepted!
"We must find the escaped slaves first. If we find them... beat them to death immediately!" Lin Yuqing ordered his followers, his voice a bit sharp due to urgency.
"Yes!" The attendant immediately responded and left, but just a moment after the order was issued, another burst of noise was heard outside the bullock cart.
This time, it was even more sensational than before.
"It's not good, it's not good!" Lin Yuqing opened the car curtain and heard several people running around shouting this.
But what is puzzling is that this group of people shouted that it was bad, but their faces looked excited as if they were watching something fun.
Because he had been involved in what happened just now, Lin Yuqing once again had an ominous premonition in his heart when he saw this change.
But at this time, the entourage who originally left got back into the car with a panicked face, and did not even dare to speak outside the car.
"What happened again, so panicked?" Lin Yuqing suppressed her uneasiness and asked with a frown.
The attendant said bitterly: "It's not because of the escaped slave. He is really brave and deserves to die! He actually wrote down the affairs between the young master and other ladies and ladies on a piece of paper and pasted it on the wall. Just around here, Just posted a dozen copies, and already a lot of people came to watch!"
With that said, he handed the piece he had just torn off in a hurry to Lin Yuqing.
When Lin Yuqing took it, he felt dizzy. He was so despicable. When did he have sex with Liao Beishi, the minister of the Ministry of War?
Lin Yuqing suppressed his anger and looked at it again. He was shocked to find that the enemy was really scary. Although the first item was wrong, comparing the following with his memory, there was not much discrepancy. There were more than a dozen names written on this piece of paper. There are family background (mother's family), husband's family, identity, as well as when he went on a date with me, and the process of the relationship. Although the writing is not very detailed, it is enough to make people think wildly.
And one-third of the people above are wrong. Even if I can't remember the young ladies I have dated, there is no reason why I can't remember them.
The remaining two-thirds are correct. Even the opportunity for acquaintance and the process of being together are written down without any mistakes.
Some of the details did not come to mind until I saw them, but I am afraid that I would not remember them at ordinary times. How did the escaped slaves of Zhang Shilang's family know these?
This must be someone who wants to harm me, or it's a desperate plan.
who is it?
Who is so cruel?
Lin Yuqing was confused and her ears were buzzing. At this moment, the oxcart came to a place where the paper was pasted.
Even though he knew that this situation would definitely not make him feel better, he still couldn't help but lift the curtain to see and listen.
Sure enough, I saw a wall with a group of people watching and talking about the people on it. Among them, the name Lin Yuqing was mentioned most often.
Since the incident at Shilang Zhang's residence happened first, everyone around him had already vaguely guessed what was going on. Now that they saw the contents on this paper, half of them believed it.
Even if you don't really believe this, it's rare to see so many distinguished people fall into the mud, and you can't help but rejoice in the misfortune.
"Oh, Mr. Lin is so awesome. He has so many ladies and ladies, he is really blessed."
"What do you know? This Lin Yuqing is from the Lin State. The Lin State is full of miasma and witchcraft is prevalent. This Young Master Lin knows the spell of enchantment. As long as he shines in front of you and uses it, no matter how you are, you will be immediately bewitched. If you understand, just obey." Someone was spitting.
"Oh, there is still this magic?" This is an envious person.
After hearing a few words, Lin Yuqing couldn't help but feel a buzz in her head, her throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The entourage was shocked when he saw it: "Young Master!"
"I'm fine." Lin Yuqing said this, wiping the blood on his lips with a handkerchief. His face was already sallow and looked a little embarrassed.
"I don't need you here. Get out of here and find the escaped slaves immediately. I don't need to tell you what to do, right?" He ordered softly, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
"Don't worry, young master, the escaped slave will never see the sun tomorrow morning!" the attendant assured, gathering people to cast a net to find the person.
"Let's go back!" Lin Yuqing said feebly. What was burning in her heart was not anger, but fear. So many officials and family members were labeled as such, how would they react?
Just thinking about it sent chills to his bones.
