Lin Wanrong was taken aback when he heard it, why is this news again? Master Biao bought it with money, where did Si De hear about it? He looked at Si De suspiciously: "How can you find such important news when you go to find the boy's urine?"
Si De smiled flatteringly: "The news had already spread in Jinling City. As soon as I heard about it, I hurried back to report to the third brother and the young master. According to my opinion, I would rather believe it than believe it. The third brother and the young master Outstanding talent, unparalleled in the world, with the two of you on the team, wouldn't Miss Luo be within reach?"
Young Master Biao shook his head solemnly and said: "I just participated in this event with the attitude of exchanging ideas with each other and exchanging ideas. Don't think of me so badly."
This incident has become known to everyone in Jinling City? Damn, is that chick Luo Ning playing tricks on me? It's not like, she held me tightly when she hugged me, besides, with my charm, if I fall into my pocket, can I run away? It's so fucking evil.
I don't want the things that are given to me, and I am a little tempted when others take them back. All men are so cheap. Lao Tzu is a real man, of course he is no exception. Lin Wanrong felt a little upset, and hurriedly found an excuse to comfort himself, was about to go out, but saw Xiao Feng running over panting, "Brother Lin, brother Lin, it's not good, it's not good."
"What's wrong?" Lin Wanrong said angrily, "Brother Xiao Feng, don't panic when things happen, the sages have taught you before."
Xiao Feng stood firm, took a few breaths and said: "Brother Lin, Master Cheng has sent troops to arrest him."
Lord Cheng? Cheng De? Lin Wanrong was startled, and said, "Take someone? Who do you take?"
Xiao Feng said anxiously: "They said that our Xiao family participated in the fight in the city last night, and they wanted to take us back for interrogation. Right now, Mr. Cheng is waiting in the hall with his men, and the eldest lady is reasoning with them."
"Mr. Cheng? Cheng Ruinian? He brought the horse?" Lin Wanrong asked with a snort.
"It's him!" Xiao Feng said bitterly: "Miss asked me to look for Third Brother, and told you not to go out, everything is at her disposal, what matters can be discussed after today."
At her disposal? This silly girl. Do you think this is so easy to carry? Damn it, this Cheng Ruinian was clearly looking for faults. I'm in a bad mood today, so I went to meet him.
"Side, put down your boy's urine, brother Xiao Feng, let's go." Side threw the boy's urine on the ground, Lin Wanrong smiled, and led the two of them straight to the hall.
Master Biao hurriedly threw the books aside, rushed up to them in three steps at a time, and said loudly: "Lin San, do you want to fight? I'll go with you, you protect me."
You are really shameless, I despise you, Lin Wanrong raised his middle finger at Master Biao. After thinking for a while, he pulled Si De over and whispered a few words in his ear. Si De nodded again and again and said: "Third brother, you have found the right person by entrusting this matter to me. I will definitely handle it properly." The two laughed together.
Before approaching the hall from a distance, I heard a man's sneering voice: "Miss Xiao, the servants of your Xiao family participated in the fight in the city last night. Someone saw it with their own eyes. How can you deny it?"
The eldest lady said: "Mr. Cheng, I have reiterated it many times. Last night, someone wanted to invade my Xiao family's old house and destroy my Xiao family's workshop. My Xiao family's family fought back against the robbers in order to protect their property, and there were people from the Jinling mansion. Miss Tao Wanying, the public servant, saw it in person. Speaking of it, my Xiao family is also helpless in self-defense, how can there be a fight?"
Cheng Ruinian snorted and said, "If you say self-defense, is that self-defense? Gathering crowds to fight, injuring and maiming people, someone saw it with their own eyes. You can't argue today if you want to. Since the eldest lady is not willing to hand over the prisoner, then I will It must be offended. Come on, bring the eldest lady back to the commander's yamen."
"Slow down, slow down." Lin Wanrong walked into the hall with a smile and looked around. Surprised: "Hey, there are so many people, it's so lively."
When the eldest lady saw him coming in, she looked anxious and gave him a wink, but Lin Wanrong pretended not to see it. He glanced at Cheng Ruinian, and saw that this kid was standing in the hall of Xiao's house with a dozen or so soldiers, showing off his might, looking arrogant.
Seeing Lin Wanrong, Cheng Rui snorted and said, "Lin San, do you still recognize me?"
"Standing too close, I can't see clearly." Lin Wanrong laughed twice, stepped back a few steps and stood next to the eldest lady, and said: "This young man is so tall, fierce and heroic, he looks familiar, I don't know Which family's uncle is it!"
"Bold!" A soldier next to Cheng Ruinian shouted loudly: "This is the son of Master Cheng De, the commander of the capital, Master Cheng Ruinian. A little servant, how can you intervene here? Why don't you get out of here."
Lin Wanrong chuckled: "I said, why are you so familiar? It turns out it's Mr. Cheng. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Why haven't you seen Mr. Cheng go to Miaoyufang in the past few days? My little brother just wants to communicate with you."
Speaking of Miaoyufang, it even aroused Cheng Ruinian's new and old grudges. A trace of sternness flashed across his face: "Lin San, I won't say anything useless to you today. The Xiao family participated in a fight in the city yesterday. You are the leader of them. Come on, bring Lin San and Miss Xiao back to the yamen together."
Lin San was startled: "Fighting? Where did this start? We are all good citizens. What happened yesterday is that my Xiao family suffered a catastrophe. Look at our brother—" Lin Wanrong pointed Si De, Si De raised his head very cooperatively, and a series of bruises appeared: "Those thieves entered our Xiao's house without saying a word, smashing everything and chopping everyone. This brother almost lost his life." I lost my life. The property of my Xiao family was damaged, the workshop was smashed, and I lost tens of thousands of taels of silver. I am worried that I have nowhere to complain. Why does Mr. Cheng call a deer a horse and say that my Xiao family is fighting? This is really a big injustice."
Cheng Ruinian sneered: "Is it wrong for you to say that you fought? I have a witness here, come on, bring a witness—"
While he was speaking, a skinny guy with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes hurriedly entered the hall, he cupped his fists at Cheng Ruinian, and said flatteringly: "Young Chen Xiaosong, see Mr. Cheng."
Cheng Ruinian nodded and said, "Chen Xiaosong, tell everyone what you saw yesterday in front of everyone. Remember, you must tell the truth."
The man witnessed that Chen Xiaosong nodded, but before he could speak, he saw Side pointing at Chen Xiaosong with trembling fingers, with monstrous anger shooting out of his eyes, and he wanted to open his mouth, but he seemed to be too angry to speak. Trembling, he fell backwards.
Lin Wanrong had sharp eyes and quick hands, and hurriedly supported him and said, "Si De, what's wrong with you, Si De? My good brother, what's wrong with you, you can't die."
"It's him, it's him—" Side slowly opened his eyes, his face was pale, he looked at the witness fiercely, his eyes were full of anger, and he said loudly: "Third Brother, Miss, it was this person who rushed into Xiao's house last night Beating, smashing, looting, here, here, and here—" Side pointed at himself from head to toe, and said in grief: "It was him who beat me. He also hacked me with a knife, almost killing me. You This heartless beast, who harmed my Xiao family and even killed me, I will fight with you—"
A few fake tears popped out of Si De's eyes, Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up secretly, but his face was full of grief, he hurriedly grabbed him and said: "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely deal with this murderer. Xiao Feng Hurry up and report to the government office of Jinling Mansion, and say that we saw the robber who stormed the Xiao Mansion last night with a knife wound. Si De, you write down your portrait and tell the painter in the mansion later, so that he can be handed over to the government for arrest after he escapes. You murderous thief, if there is a way to heaven, you don’t go, and if there is no way to hell, you break in, let’s see where you go to escape today.”
The witness had already been splashed with a basin of dirty water on his head before he could speak, he couldn't bear it, and said anxiously: "You are talking nonsense, I didn't kill anyone. The person who cut you was Brother Long, he led the team to rush in yesterday. I let the wind outside and never entered Xiao's house."
"Oh—" Lin Wanrong, Side, Xiao Feng, and Young Master Biao shouted together: "It was Brother Long who cut the man, you are in charge of letting go, I understand. Then where did Brother Long go?"
"Brother Long is at Mr. Cheng's mansion—" The witness waited to speak, but was interrupted by Cheng Ruinian's violent cough. Cheng Ruinian glanced at the witness angrily: "Chen Xiaosong, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Oh, I got it!" Lin Wanrong smiled and said to Cheng Ruinian: "Master Cheng, we got it, do you get it?"
Cheng Ruinian's face was livid, and he didn't say a word. The eldest lady also saw something, looked at Cheng Ruinian and sneered: "Mr. Cheng, is this the witness you brought? It's a coincidence that the witness you found is It was the murderer who smashed into my Xiao family last night, he admitted it himself, come here—"
The young lady shouted coquettishly, Xiao Feng, Si De and the others hurriedly said: "No!"
Xiao Yuruo snorted coldly, stretched out his slender finger, pointed at Chen Xiaoqiang and said, "Take this thief down and send him to the Jinling government office for investigation."
At this time, Si De has long since lost his decadent appearance, full of energy, Xiao Feng and the others were about to rush forward, but they heard Cheng Ruinian say: "Bold, which of you dares?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Young Master Cheng, I am naturally timid, so don't scare me."
The eldest lady raised her eyebrows and shouted softly: "Mr. Cheng, you brought a witness to my house today to get him. The charge you made was that my Xiao family participated in the fight. But everyone saw it just now, you Witnesses have personally admitted that he is the thief who participated in the siege of my Xiao family last night. Why should we take him? Could it be that Mr. Cheng also needs to cover up? Mr. Cheng is so aggressive and protects private parties. Don't let anyone bully you. I'll go to the official with you now."
"Rights and wrongs are twists and turns. It's not something that can be clarified in a few simple words now. The court has its own conclusion. You should go with me, and I will command the Yamen to explain it to me." Cheng Ruinian snorted.
He glanced at the soldiers behind him, and those soldiers rushed forward, trying to grab the eldest lady and Lin Wanrong. Even though the eldest lady had all kinds of reasons, but this Cheng Ruinian came here on purpose to find trouble. Where is she allowed to reason, she was startled and angry, and was about to shout, but saw Lin San holding her sleeve and smiling slightly.
Xiao Yuruo glanced at him, and her heart calmed down, and she stopped struggling. Those soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and they were about to touch the corner of the eldest lady's clothes, when Lin Wanrong slapped the table and shouted loudly: "Cheng Ruinian, you are so brave."
His yell came suddenly, with a trace of internal strength, like a thunderous roar, it shocked Cheng Ruinian to turn pale, and he sat down on the chair.
"Lin San, you, what are you going to do?" Seeing Lin Wanrong sneering at him with disdain, Cheng Ruinian stammered with guilt.
"What am I going to do? I'm going to ask you what I'm going to do!" Lin Wanrong smiled darkly: "You brought soldiers and entered Xiao's mansion without permission to take people. Could it be that you want to plot rebellion?"
With this hat on, even the stone man would not be able to sit still. Those soldiers who were about to move hurriedly stopped their movements, looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not dare to take a step forward.
"Treason?" Cheng Ruinian was shocked, his heart was beating wildly, he couldn't sit still, he jumped up from the chair, and stammered: "What conspiracy, Lin San, you, you, you are so brave. "
Lin San chuckled: "Cheng Ruinian, my Mr. Cheng, I said you were rebellious, do you think I have wronged you?"
Everyone in the hall was so frightened that no one dared to speak, it was because Lin Wanrong's big hat was too scary. Even people can't stand it. Cheng Ruinian's face was pale, and he said, "Lin San, don't spout blood, be careful and I'll take you to the court."
Lin Wanrong snorted disdainfully: "Meeting an official? After all, you, Mr. Cheng, still have a little memory, and you know that you are not an official. To put it bluntly, hehe, Mr. Cheng, although you have a commander-in-chief to be your father, don't forget In addition to your own identity, you have neither official position nor fame, just like me, a commoner."
"Hey, a commoner, but with soldiers and horses belonging to the imperial court, entered the mansion without permission, robbed people, murdered and extorted goods. And the one who robbed was not ordinary people, but the descendants of Mr. Xiao Ge. Who is Mr. Xiao Ge? Mr. Wende, who was conferred posthumously by the emperor, the plaque inscribed by the imperial pen is still hanging on the gate of Xiao’s house, and countless people worship him. Who dares to be presumptuous in front of his old man’s house? However, we met today, Mr. Cheng, you openly despise The emperor, brought soldiers and horses to come in, hehe, it must be fun to kill, openly against the emperor, saying that you are not rebellious, that is simply unreasonable! Hehe, you are very good, very arrogant, much more arrogant than me."
These words made Side and Xiao Feng sweat profusely on their foreheads. From a small arrest operation, the third brother quoted scriptures and eloquently pushed this shit Cheng Ruinian to the gallows for treason. He is really a genius. The eldest lady glanced at him and sighed in her heart. With this man's eloquence, it would be a waste if he didn't go on an envoy to other countries.
Young Master Biao heard it heartily, and gave Lin Sanyi a thumbs up and said: "Lin San, you are really a god!" Lao Tzu is a god of fooling around, Lin Wanrong secretly smiled.
Cheng Ruinian was drenched in cold sweat when he heard this, he never imagined how many people he came to arrest, and he was given such a big hat. If his father finds out about this, then it's okay
"Lin San, you have a sharp mouth—" Cheng Ruinian gritted his teeth and said, "These soldiers are my family, not soldiers!"
"The family also wears armor? Could it be that they raise soldiers privately?" Lin Wanrong opened his eyes even wider: "That's even more serious, Mr. Cheng, you are going to go all the way to the dark. Sigh, turn around as soon as possible , I Buddha bless you."
Speaking of bickering, who in the world is Lin San's opponent. Cheng Ruinian wiped off his cold sweat, and hurriedly argued: "No, no, they are infantry soldiers and horses, and I just borrowed them temporarily." Cheng Ruinian was already incoherent in his panic.
"Soldiers and horses from the battalion, call them temporarily, oh, I understand." Lin Wanrong sneered and said, "Master Cheng, step back ten thousand steps and say, even if my Xiao family really participated in the fighting, it's not your turn to command the yamen to come." Control, this is a local matter, not a military matter. It should be handled by the Jinling government office or the governor's government office. The commanders and envoys are only in charge of the military affairs of a province. Prevent someone from rebelling by using the military power in your hands. Now you are not only mobilizing the cavalry and infantry camps without permission, but also interfering in local affairs, plus breaking into Xiao's house privately, provoking the emperor's prestige, tsk tsk, if this spreads to the Ministry of War, to the censor, to pass it on To the emperor's ears—ah, this is a taboo thing, Mr. Cheng, I didn't blame you, your heart is too big."
Lin Wanrong mourned, with sympathy on his face, and patted Cheng Ruinian on the shoulder: "Brother Cheng, please mourn."
Damn it, I'll scare you to death even if I'm scared, Lin Wanrong smiled slyly, it's cool to put the shit bowl on others. Destroying the enemy physically is refreshing, but destroying the enemy spiritually is the highest state, and Lao Tzu is heading in this direction. But today's incident is also very strange. With that Cheng De's cunning and cunning, how could he send his own son to find trouble? It is estimated that this kid surnamed Cheng sneaked out to find a place without telling his father.
Cheng Ruinian's face was pale and he couldn't say a word. He was an idiot, even worse than the abolished Tao Dongcheng. When Lin Wanrong was jealous of Qin Xian'er in Miaoyufang that day, Lin Wanrong had already spotted him.
The eldest lady tugged at his sleeve and said softly: "You just like to make up nonsense reasons. It sounds scary."
Lin Wanrong hehe said: "Miss, this is not scary. The dispute between the court and the party is a thousand times more powerful than this. Take today's incident as an example. From our point of view, it seems that Cheng Xiaozi took someone for no reason. It seems a trivial matter , but if it falls into the hands of an old fox with ulterior motives, he will definitely magnify this matter infinitely and rise to the height of the nation, just like the first kiss I mentioned just now. The matter, what the emperor saw from the scriptures was that he privately dispatched troops, interfered in the government, and despised the imperial power. Be good, can these things be added together? Let me tell you, the scriptures the emperor saw to impeach others are all It came this way, so it is the easiest to deceive the emperor."
The eldest lady covered her lips and smiled, her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were soft, and she said softly: "Who is still calling an old fox, I think you are an out-and-out little fox, if you try to deceive the emperor, no one can compare to you. "
The young lady's demeanor was extremely charming, Lin Wanrong's heart skipped a beat, I am a little fox, you are a little vixen, the three of you sisters are all very coquettish.
"What are you looking at?" The eldest lady snorted slightly, blushing behind her ears, then lowered her head and whispered, "I'm not afraid of being seen by others."
"Hey, it's not rare for me to deceive the emperor, just a few princesses and concubines." Lin Wanrong teased.
The eldest lady's complexion changed, she disappeared from all of her charms, she turned her head and said: "You bastard, don't even think about me talking to you again."
This girl, turning her face is faster than turning a book. Lin Wanrong laughed and teased the eldest lady a few times, but Cheng Ruinian stood there awkwardly, neither leaving nor staying.
Damn, wait until I invite you to lunch? Lin Wanrong was about to tell Cheng Ruinian to get out of here quickly, when suddenly he heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the mansion, a servant ran in, with a look of surprise on his face, and shouted: "Eldest Miss, Third Brother, great joy, great joy."
The eldest lady just recovered some normal beautiful face, and immediately she was full of joy, and she spat lightly, you slave can't speak, who is overjoyed with him
Lin Wanrong smiled awkwardly and said, "What joy, the time for joy has not yet come."
The family member panted and said: "Third brother, what a joyful event, Mr. Fu Yin, together with Mr. Governor, have joined together to send a plaque to our Xiao family."
send flat? Damn, Lin Wanrong kicked him on the buttocks, and said with a smile: "What are you sending me, please explain clearly to me next time, it's right to give me a plaque."
"Yes yes yes, send a plaque, send a plaque!" The servant hurriedly changed his words.
The eldest lady looked at Lin Wanrong in confusion, as if she was asking him, and she seemed to be talking to herself: "Master Hou and Lord Luo sent us a plaque? Why is that?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "If someone doesn't talk to me, even if I know about it, I won't tell her."
The eldest lady snorted, but before she could say anything, the drums and music in the yard were beeping, and a group of people had already walked in. The leader in the Governor's Mansion is Luo Min's teacher, who I met when Shi Weixian opened, and next to him is the boy Luo Yuan, who is smiling and bowing to Lin Wanrong.
The leader of the Jinling Mansion was a chick, with a group of gentlemen behind her. Some of them looked familiar. Lin Wanrong laughed out loud after seeing them for a few moments. Didn't these people just fight with him that morning when he went to Hangzhou? ? Why did you take the initiative to come to the door today? The little girl looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled slightly, with a three-point dizziness on her face.
Ouch, why is this little girl surnamed Tao here again? Didn't you finish talking yesterday? Before Lin Wanrong finished thinking, she heard the eldest lady say, "Sister Wanying, what's going on?"
Tao Wanying smiled and said: "Sister Yuruo, don't ask for now, you are ready to accept the plaque."
