The sky was already bright, and the clouds on the horizon were dyed red by the sun that had just appeared halfway. Zhuque Street was already decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and there were jugglers attending the morning market.
The street was jammed with traffic. A little kid made the motion of nailing plates, throwing the plates on his head one after another. In the end, he had thrown more than 20 plates in a row, but he still stood steadily on seven or eight stools, drawing cheers from the onlookers.
Young Master Lin frowned, a little impatient.
Although the New Year is just a dozen days away, it should have been lively, but it is rare to see it this lively... ..
There are no important people traveling today...
Captain Xu knew what he was thinking when he saw this, and hurried over to tell him, "My lord, have you forgotten? Today, His Majesty officially issued an edict that from now on, the young prince will be the Marquis of Pingxi."
"In order to congratulate the newly appointed Marquis of Pingxi, the emperor has specially issued an order for the princes and ministers to come and congratulate him." He paused, scratched his head and added, "Today is only the first day. I heard that the queen even checked the Shen family tree and selected a few older women from the close family to host the housewarming banquet for the Marquis of Pingxi."
The housewarming banquet was not hosted by Shen Chen's mother, Princess Linjiang, who had been invited by Shen Chen for many years. Instead, it was handed over to a branch of the Shen family.
Although it makes sense in name, after all, Shen Chen will be surnamed Shen from now on, but it is impossible not to think too much.
The emperor and empress were determined to create disunity between the Linjiang Palace and Shen Chen.
Young Master Lin's eyes moved. He had actually forgotten about this matter.
The night before, Shen Chen hurriedly received the imperial edict to enter the palace. At that time, Shen Chen said that there might be an explanation for his case.
He rubbed his brows and hummed. Seeing that more and more people were gathering on Suzaku Street, he whispered, "Let's go another way."
If it's any later it might be too late.
Captain Xu responded hastily without wasting a moment, and immediately turned his horse around to change routes with Young Master Lin, galloping towards Deshengmen.
The gatekeeper of Deshengmen was Xu Chong, a man who was always impartial and fair. When he saw Young Master Lin, he did not show any special respect or surprise, but simply saluted Young Master Lin.
Since this person was not a sycophant, Young Master Lin did not try to probe him in any empty words and asked him directly, "Did anyone enter the city this morning with a pass from the Xie family?"
People entering and leaving the city gates had to be checked and registered, especially when there were recent rumors that bandits from Yongzhou Prefecture were fleeing to the capital, Xu Chong was particularly rigorous and responsible.
He thought for a while, then asked someone to look through the booklet and shook his head at Young Master Lin.
Captain Xu immediately said, "Then check to see if there is anyone using the name card of the Zheng Wang Mansion or the Dingbei Marquis Mansion?"
Xu Chong frowned, not knowing what they were looking for, but he still followed their instructions and asked someone to check for a while, then nodded: "This morning, several people holding a letter from Dingbei Marquis Mansion entered the city, saying that they were distant relatives of Dingbei Marquis Mansion and came to seek refuge."
Distant relative?!
Are there any distant relatives in Dingbei Marquis Mansion
Still a step too late.
Young Master Lin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and even Xu Chong couldn't help but feel a little scared, and looked at him with doubt.
Did the Jinyiwei group of killers catch someone else and confiscate their property? That's why they came to investigate these things
Something went wrong.
Something went wrong.
Young Master Lin stood there for just a moment before jumping onto his horse, turning the horse around and galloping away.
Captain Xu and his men were unable to react for a moment, but after they reacted they quickly mounted their horses and caught up.
A cunning old fox like Mr. Xie can remotely control everything that happens in the capital from thousands of miles away. If that's the case, how could he not know that things have changed and that the Jinyiwei have become involved
And if Mr. Xie's original plan was as they predicted, he wanted to use the bodies of the three bandits to fabricate that Wei An killed the bandits in order to help Xie Liangcheng and Xiang Liangqing get rid of the crime, in order to create the illusion of an accident.
Then, through information asymmetry, Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing were made to believe that they had to come back to find Wei An to resolve all the issues that happened in Yongzhou... ..
What happens now that the truth has been exposed
What happened after the Jinyiwei, who was unexpected to him, intervened in the matter and took Xie Yun away from the Wucheng Bingmasi
If he is Master Xie, what is the best way now
Young Master Lin cursed under his breath.
Damn, perhaps even Xie Yun’s death was expected by Master Xie II.
Now without Xie Yun as a witness, everything they asked no longer counts, and they just couldn't successfully intercept Xie Liangcheng and his men... ..
Mr. Xie’s plan can still go on.
The capital is so lively today. The young prince of Linjiang Palace has completely left Linjiang Palace and returned to Pingxi Marquis Mansion in Qingyufang. The emperor has ordered all officials to congratulate him and has also specially issued an edict in advance to appoint Shen Chen as the commander of Fujian Maritime Customs.
At this time... ..
If Second Master Xie had sent people to follow and monitor Wei An's every move a long time ago, he should have known that Shen Chen and Wei An had always had a good relationship.
Well, at this moment, given his madness and the way he does things, he must want to make the biggest mess possible at this moment.
So what should he do now
Young Master Lin thought of what Wei An had said before, that she had saved Xie Liangqing at the Yang family's pharmacy. His brows furrowed even tighter, and he immediately ordered Captain Xu: "Go to the Yang family's pharmacy!"
What if there was someone else besides Zhao Qi around Xie Liangcheng and Xie Liangqing? What if this person was a genuine bandit who had killed someone in the Yang family's Jiminsu
They killed someone in broad daylight and were arrested as a matter of course. When tracing the source, they found that they were holding a post from the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
There had already been a fire in the villa of Marquis Dingbei's mansion before.
It was the first time that Young Master Lin encountered such a tough opponent, who was cunning and agile, hiding behind the scenes and controlling everything. He could also adjust the plan at any time according to changes in the situation.
This is not something that Master Xie can do alone.
When Young Master Lin realized this, he felt even colder in his heart.
No matter how capable Mr. Xie is, he is just one person, and he is thousands of miles away. Even if he can foresee various changes in things, he still needs someone in the capital who can make corresponding decisions for him.
This person is probably hiding around them right now, observing their expressions and thinking about what to do next.
This feeling is really terrible.
Even a calm person like Lin Sansao could not help feeling irritated and angry.
But now is not the time to be angry. He has to rush to the Yang family's Jimin Office before the situation becomes irreversible. He rode his horse and took a shortcut. He was uneasy all the way but still rode very fast.
