One is the grandson of Fengzi Long, and the other is the eldest lady who has been delicate since childhood.
However, she had been living abroad for many years, and her bad luck was only found again. Her uncle was not from a noble family, but only relied on his military exploits to get ahead.
Liang Qian was a concubine and his reputation was not very good.
The elder brother was born in a poor family. He became resentful after becoming the top scholar in high school and made things difficult for the children of the family many times.
These people cannot compare with their noble status.
In this case, the bad guys should stick together.
She didn't want these people to remain noble and wanted to pull them down.
The most important thing at the moment was to stabilize the Li State envoys. Lin Xi took a deep look at them and turned around to get on the carriage.
Su Yangyang was stung by the coldness in her eyes and felt very uncomfortable.
I don’t understand why Lin Xi insists on going against them.
Zhong Xiao also realized that the method of reducing the palace salary by half was a bit inappropriate.
But I felt there was no need to hold on to them, as those were the slaves who were sold into the palace.
Su Yangyang: "Don't worry, I will support you no matter what."
Zhongxiao held her hand and said solemnly: "In my heart, she is far inferior to you."
Su Yangyang: "I know everything."
The two cheered each other up and said words of comfort to each other, but their worries were not less.
I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep tonight.
——
If you really feel uncomfortable, then you must vent it out.
The pain will not go away, but will be transferred from her to others.
Lin Xi returned to the Duke's Mansion and immediately asked the kitchen to send delicious food over. She had an appetite again.
He Chirang was quite surprised to see Lin Xi bringing Prince Langsi back.
Lin Xi did not tell her brother that she and Prince Langsi were old acquaintances or had a good relationship.
As your children get older, they should have a little secret of their own. It’s better to have a sense of mystery.
Okay, let’s talk about the mystery.
She was given a nonchalant look by her brother...and she felt a little guilty, as if she had been caught doing something bad.
He Chirang did not go to the palace banquet this time. His official position was not high enough, and he did not want to use the prestige of the Duke's Palace to attract unnecessary criticism.
There were distinguished guests today, so he simply set up another table at his house.
Liang Qian raised his wine glass and said sincerely: "I heard Zhixing talk about big brother countless times, and I finally met him today. I also know the case of killing a good person and taking advantage of the crime that big brother tried, and I admire him very much."
"Your Majesty, the prize is due."
Lu Yan glanced at the uninvited guest and felt that he was really unnecessary.
You can tell what you are thinking at a glance. Well, at least he can see through it.
Lu Yan took over the conversation and naturally talked about the Queen's decree that made Lin Xi unhappy today.
Liang Qian was unwilling to be ignored and tried hard to establish his presence: "Yes, yes, that girl who advised the Queen is indescribably weird to me."
But it's not like the ordinary bad guys who openly kill people.
They, mother and son, had also had their monthly salary deducted, but their mother happened to be seriously ill... it was even more difficult.
There was no way to describe the feeling. He just wanted to kill the initiator with one knife.
He Zhirang sighed: "If you don't want people to know something evil, it must be a great evil. If you want people to know something good, it's not true and good."
Liang Qian: "Yes, yes, I think so too!"
The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and he summed up his inner feelings in one go!
Lu Yan: "If it's wrapped in thick enough honey, the rotting corpse can also smell sweet."
Liang Qian: "Yes, yes! I think so too!"
So that’s how it is! No wonder he doesn't look like a bad guy.
Lin Xi covered her eyes. She didn't know why, but she looked at Liang Qian as if she was looking in a mirror.
Usually when her brother and Little Poisonous Mushroom discuss things, she can understand and pick up the conversation.
But the way they speak is different.
It turns out that she is usually like this.
He Chirang: "Maomao, you have to take this as a warning. Of course, I also have to take this as a warning."
Lin Xi: "Okay."
After eating, Lin Xi and Lu Yan sent Liang Qian out of the house together.
Liang Qian was in a complicated mood, so it would be great to be a guest at the Duke's Mansion.
The bad thing is that when the eldest brother is talking to Lu Yan, he seems to be unable to get in.
I have to say, this guy still has some abilities. No wonder it caught Lin Xi's eyes.
Liang Qian: "Today makes me feel like we were fighting side by side."
He stretched out his clenched fist, Lin Xi was startled, and raised his hand to touch it.
Lu Yan was thinking about whether removing Prince Langsi would affect the overall situation.
He calmly took a step forward, slightly separating the two people.
Liang Qian asked again: "Can I still come to your house as a guest tomorrow?"
Lu Yan: "There should be many people sending greeting cards to you. Don't you have other things to be busy with?"
Liang Qian: "..." I didn't ask you.
Lin Xi: "Yes, you should do your own business first. There is no need to meet every day."
Liang Qian: "Oh, okay then."
This short lived.
——
The queen issued an edict to reduce the monthly salary of each palace by half.
Four days later, the Queen Mother issued another decree to restore the regular banknotes in order to reward the various palaces and bureaus for their recent hard work.
Lin Xi was not surprised. He had already expected that the queen's position would depend on luck and family. But the position of Queen Mother is not suitable.
In the next ten days, Liang Qian came to the Duke's Mansion twice more.
It's not too diligent, but it's enough to let everyone know that this prince and the Duke's mansion are very compatible.
Before the Li State envoy arrived, Ta Xue returned to the capital first.
It took her two months to get everything done, quietly purchasing tens of thousands of acres of farmland and several shops.
On this day, the guards happened to catch a spy who had sneaked into the Duke's mansion and wanted to find out the news.
Lin Yan had already asked the question once, tied the person to a tree and whipped him.
Zhang Fu was beaten so hard that he cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf, and his screams were very miserable.
Lin Yan was a little reluctant and threatened the other party: "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I will wait for my sister, the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, to come back, and you will regret that your mother gave birth to you! Then you are not saying what you are saying now."
Zhang Fu just complained about injustice.
After Shan Wu came back, he interrogated him again. Unlike Lin Yan, he was not only capable of cracking a whip, but also had many methods to make people spit.
Unexpectedly, we encountered a tough fight this time. This man kept whining but wouldn't spit out his words. He was very cunning and difficult to deal with.
Shan Wu sneered: "I advise you to tell the truth. If you wait for my lady to come back and interrogate you personally, you will regret that your mother gave birth to you!"
The dying Zhang Fu: "..."
Are you sick? Why are the words used to threaten people all the same? How scary can a young lady from an aristocratic family be? Could it be the reincarnation of King Yama?
As soon as Texue returned home, he saw the interrogation scene in the courtyard.
She was stunned for a second, then walked over quickly.
Zhang Fu, who was lying on the ground, heard footsteps and vaguely saw the figure of a woman.
I thought about it, thinking that women are always more likely to be soft-hearted, and begging for mercy might work.
Unexpectedly, the other party spoke first.
Texue frowned and said, "Why are you interrogating people in the courtyard? If the blood seeps into the bluestone and cannot be cleaned away, leaving a stain for the guests to see, wouldn't it be detrimental to the face of the Duke's mansion?"
How long had she been gone before she actually sneaked in?
Even if you sneak in and get caught the next day! If people find out, the reputation of the Duke's Mansion will still be ruined.
Zhang Fu: "..."
Texue: "Take him to the basement for interrogation. There are knives, maces, and saws there. Even if you cut him and there is blood and scraps everywhere, it will be clean as soon as you flush him with water."
Zhang Fu: "..."
Is this what people say? You are too cruel.
Texue sighed and said in a calm voice: "I advise you to explain it as soon as possible, otherwise you will definitely regret it when our eldest lady personally interrogates you."
As soon as he finished speaking, two people came up to drag him. Zhang Fu trembled, stretched his neck and raised his head, and said with a look of horror: "Don't! Don't! I'm going to do it! Please don't let others come to judge me."
All three of them were of the same caliber, so how could he not be afraid?
The kind of psychological pressure that piles on top of one another is really debilitating.
The first interrogator was very confused and seemed not smart enough.
The second move is not ambiguous at all.
