When Lu Linjian arrived in Kyoto, he didn't even return to the Lu Mansion and only went to the palace.
In the Chang'an Palace, officials were sitting on top, and Lu Linjian was introduced into the palace.
After bowing to the official's chief inspector, he got up and said, "Yuzhi made a mistake and came here to ask for punishment from the official."
The official chuckled and said, "Get up quickly. What happened? Tell me what happened. I'll see if you're punished or not. So are you. There's no way you'll be punished as soon as you come up."
After Lu Linjian got up, "My subordinates were ordered by the officials to go to Yingnan to investigate the case. The strange forces mentioned before were actually good at Nan Gu and were also hovering in Yingnan, and their whereabouts were uncertain. After entering Yingnan, my subordinates went to the county magistrate The government checked the character records and found no one matching the name of the Jiang family's daughter. That daughter... I'm afraid she's no longer alive."
The official sighed after hearing this, "Oh, actually I can guess it, but I just wanted to check it out because I had some news. Then why did you rush back to Kyoto a few days ago and go to Yingnan instead."
Lu Linjian knelt down again after hearing this, "This is why I received the punishment. I fell into the trap of those traitors. They pretended to pass on the official seal, claiming that there was something wrong with the Kyoto Imperial Guards Office, and tricked me back into Kyoto. I blame my negligence for a moment. , I fell into their trap and was worried about something happening in Kyoto. I hurried back only to find out that I had been deceived, and those traitors used cruel methods to slaughter all the families that I had checked were similar to the Jiang family's little girl."
After hearing this, the official frowned and said, "The Jiang family has been involved for so many years, and there are still people rushing to kill them all. There may be something fishy about what happened before. Do you think those thieves are still good at poisoning?"
Lu Linjian replied, "Yes, I was stabbed when I was in Yingnan. Fortunately, I was rescued. After careful inspection, I found that the poison is only found in the southwest. I arrested two people but did not find out the news. They both committed suicide." , they should be the soldiers who were raised to die. They fled soon after I rushed back to Yingnan, and found traces that they were heading to Kyoto..."
The officials were shocked, "Dead soldiers, poisonous poison, Kyoto..., haha, I didn't expect that Kyoto seemed prosperous and peaceful on the surface, but I'm afraid that underneath... this case must be investigated, and the foundation of our dynasty cannot be destroyed. Yuzhi, hurry up Get up, I will not punish you, but I will reward you. You have caught such a flaw for me. If you let it develop, the consequences will be disastrous."
Lu Linjian stood up and said, "Official, my subordinates have a suggestion." "You say it."
"Kyoto needs to be fortified, and thieves cannot be allowed to gather in Kyoto. It was not fortified before, so the heretics were dormant in Kyoto. I believe that forbidden troops should be set up at all city gates to search and register people entering the city. If it is normal, The people will be allowed to go, and no unknown persons will be allowed to enter the capital. If there are any obvious lawbreakers, they will be kept for careful questioning and interrogation."
The official agreed, "That's very good. It's up to you to investigate this case. If you have any news, let me know."
Lu Linjian agreed, bowed and went out from Chang'an Hall, only to see Lu Yinchen sitting on the sedan chair and coming towards Chang'an Hall.
When he arrived, Lu Linjian made a salute and said, "Goodbye, Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Lu Yinchen got off the sedan chair and went up and said, "San Lang, don't go through these complicated etiquette with the eldest sister. Why are you back? Are you in danger on the way? The official family is also true, I leave all my errands to you."
The maid next to me was not surprised to see the empress scolding the officials like this.
Lu Yinchen is now thirty-two, and she is the eldest daughter of Duke Lu of the Lu family. When Duke Lu was still a young master of the Holy Master, Lu Yinchen and the Holy Master were childhood playmates. Scolding, no one else dares to say anything.
Lu Linjian half-smiled and replied, "Sister, I have nothing to do, so don't worry. I haven't returned home yet, and it's time to go back now."
Lu Yinchen sighed, knowing that her younger brother was avoiding her on purpose because he thought she was nagging, so she said, "Well, you can go back. My mother is also very worried. Although she has to do her best in official matters, she must also pay attention to her health."
Lu Linjian agreed and walked towards the palace gate.
Lu Yinchen looked at Lu Linjian's back and shook her head. For a brother like her, I really don't know whose personality she followed. Maybe she followed her father, who is so serious about words and expressions. It is really not easy to worry about being only obsessed with court matters and not getting married yet.
The day after returning to Beijing from Lu Linjian, Kyoto fortified the city gates.
From then on, Lu Linjian went out early and came back late every day. The Imperial Guard should wait for him to manage, and there were also Jiang family cases to investigate.
Almost no one is seen in the Lu Mansion, except for greeting Mrs. Lu every morning.
Today's greetings, Mrs. Lu's wife Chen Linyun was also in Mrs. Lu's hall. When Lu Linjian came in to greet Mrs. Lu, he saluted Mrs. Lu and said "sister-in-law" to Chen Linyun. Chen Linyun nodded.
Mrs. Lu said, "Sanlang, you are already a grown man. Your eldest brother is thirty-four and has a pair of children. Your second brother...well, let alone the rebellious son, do you have a favorite family now? I will give it to you." arrange."
Who in the capital doesn't know how lucky she is. Her son is very beautiful, and her youngest son is a concubine bestowed upon her by the Holy Father. Unlike the dandies from aristocratic families, who only care about sensuality and sex all day long, but this matter of marriage...
Lu Linjian replied, "Mom, don't worry, I haven't got an idea yet."
Mother Lu smiled and said, "You, you, you don't have such thoughts, but other girls do. The eldest girl from the Wang family comes to the Lu Mansion every day, saying that she is here to see your little sister, haha, Sima Zhao's heart. Every day I'll ask if you're here when I get back. In fact, that girl from the Wang family is pretty good, there's nothing wrong with her etiquette, she's pretty, and she has the style of a woman from an aristocratic family, but I don't know her personality..."
Lu Linjian saw that his mother was getting further and further away, so he quickly interrupted, "Mom, don't worry about it. I have no intention of her."
Seeing that his reaction was not as silent as before, Mother Lu seemed to have some clues, so she tried to say, "Oh? I don't mean to her. How did she make you unhappy? Or do you have a woman you like?"
The woman he likes... Lu Linjian didn't know why but he thought of the scene in Yingnan when the little lady healed him with her eyelashes slightly trembling, and his heart palpitated for no reason.
Worried that her mother would detect something unusual, she said calmly, "She has never made me unhappy. I have no thoughts about men and women. If mother has nothing else to do, I will go to the Imperial Guard to handle official matters." After that, he bowed and left. .
After Chen Linyun left, she said to Mother Lu, "Mother, don't worry too much. San Lang is so good at doing things, why are you worried about not finding a match? I think San Lang really doesn't care about Miss Wang. Mother, don't worry." If you mix it up and mix it up, it will make both families look bad."
Mother Lu said, "I know. She just felt pitiful and panicked when she saw Mr. San was always alone and without anyone to take care of him. She just didn't mention it and let her children do whatever they want. If that incident hadn't happened in the Jiang family back then, what would have happened to our little girl?" He's still alive, but he's probably sixteen now. Jin Shu's daughter and San Lang were originally very fond of each other..."
Chen Linyun also thought of the sad incident, and her face turned bad, "Yes, Jin Shu is such a good person, I never imagined that things would be like this."
Mrs. Lu's living room fell into a sad atmosphere for a while.
Lu Linjian left the Lu Mansion and was about to find Pei An to ask if there was any news from those who stayed in Yingnan in Kyoto, when he saw Pei An coming on horseback.
"Master, the young lady from the Li family in Yingnan has come to Kyoto to look for you! My subordinates just met her at the gate of the city. Our people have been escorting her secretly on the road! She said she came to Kyoto to look for someone, who else could she look for? , I’m just looking for you!”
