The area next to the Yang family's Jimin Institute was already full of people. There were three layers of people inside and outside the Institute who were watching the fun for some unknown reason, and the Institute was completely blocked.
Captain Xu frowned when he saw this, and without wasting a moment, he dismounted and grabbed Third Young Master Lin, carefully reminding him: "Third Young Master, Eunuch An..."
Young Master Lin followed his gaze and saw Eunuch An surrounded by eunuchs, frowning as he listened to what the people next to him were saying.
The appearance of the Jinyiwei always attracted everyone's attention, especially when they came riding on horseback, scaring many people. Eunuch An soon saw him and waved at him with a smile.
Young Master Lin suppressed his worry and walked forward to greet Eunuch An.
Eunuch An also nodded amiably and asked him, "The Imperial Guards are indeed well-informed. Did the Third Young Master receive the news so quickly?"
Young Master Lin frowned, but still calmly asked him, "What news did Eunuch An talk about?"
"You don't know?" Eunuch An was a little surprised. He uttered an ouch and sighed, "So you didn't come here for this matter?"
Young Master Lin was even more confused, with a hint of uneasiness and anxiety in his heart.
Eunuch An was a favorite of the Emperor, so Captain Xu did not dare to interrupt him. He just glanced around quickly, and when he saw the familiar face, his eyes lit up. He trotted over and stopped Han Bo who was walking out in a hurry.
Eunuch An here clicked his tongue twice and told Third Master Lin: "A few days ago, the prefect of Yongzhou and the governor of Hubei submitted a memorial to the court to ask for instructions on encircling and suppressing bandits. Third Master, do you know about this?"
Young Master Lin nodded.
It turned out to be a bandit.
Pretty much as he expected.
But why did it alarm Eunuch An
Eunuch An should be in the palace at this time. What could make him leave the palace
Unless... ... Young Master Lin thought of Shen Chen.
Just as he was thinking, Eunuch An spat on the ground and laughed, "These bandits are so bold that they dared to assassinate the Marquis of Pingxi in broad daylight!"
The former young prince has now become Marquis of Pingxi.
Young Master Lin reacted and asked again: "Assassinating Marquis Pingxi?"
Eunuch An snorted with disdain, and with a hint of disgust and fear: "That's right, he dared to rush out in the street without caring about anything, and he had a weapon in his hand. If it weren't for the Marquis of Pingxi's alertness, I'm afraid he would be..."
He said no more.
But the fear in my heart still surged up in waves. If they really succeeded, then something bad would happen to Pingxi Hou on the first day of his ancestral homecoming. If this got out, how would others view the emperor and empress
If he were to be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, then his death would be useless.
He sneered at the thought, with the gloom and sharpness that eunuchs have when they are angry: "This group of villains have lost all conscience and committed all kinds of evil. Now they dare to assassinate the emperor's nephew under the feet of the emperor. They are really bold!"
Lin San Shao interrupted his endless complaints and asked simply and clearly: "Where is Pingxi Hou now?"
"Oh." Eunuch An realized that Young Master Lin might want to investigate this case to gain merit, so he pointed at the Yang family's Jiminsu, holding his chest and saying, "It's inside. I heard that there are three or four thieves hiding inside, and there are hostages!"
"Hostage?!" Young Master Lin had just uttered this question when Captain Xu came over breathlessly, trotting over. He breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in Young Master Lin's ear, "Sir, Han Bo said that this morning, when Marquis Pingxi came out of the palace, he was suddenly attacked by bandits on Zhengyang Street. The Yulin Guards and Jinwu Guards who escorted him out of the palace suffered many casualties, and were caught off guard and thrown into disarray. Later, after the Jinwu Guards and Yulin Guards reacted, they successfully captured the four bandits. According to their confession, they had already entered the capital and had been waiting for an opportunity to assassinate, but the emperor was heavily guarded, so they couldn't get in, so they thought of doing something big. Since they couldn't assassinate the nobles in the palace, they took the opportunity to assassinate the most popular person at the moment, and they had their eyes on Marquis Pingxi."
What nonsense.
Ridiculous.
Young Master Lin felt a little helpless, but then he was relieved. However, this guy Shen Chen had the ability to make such a ridiculous thing serious.
He nodded, said hello to Wei Kun, a captain of the Imperial Guard, and then passed them to the Yang family's relief center.
As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he heard shouts and curses from inside. Shen Chen came out with a proud look on his face, chin raised, and glanced at the people he was holding one by one. He sneered, "You are just a bunch of rabble, and you dare to overestimate your own abilities!"
As he spoke, he had already seen Third Young Master Lin. He smiled and said loudly, "Third Young Master, you came at the right time. Don't you Jinyiwei know even a mosquito in someone's house? How come you don't even know about the bandits who have sneaked into the capital and are causing trouble this time?"
As he spoke, he tutted at Lin Sanshao in a provocative manner: "It's thanks to me that I'm smart and clever, unparalleled in the world, otherwise these people would have planned to kill all the members of the Yang family!"
The Yang family members, who had become the fish on the chopping board without knowing it and were told that the crisis had been resolved without knowing it, followed behind and kept wiping their sweat and expressing their gratitude.
Young Master Lin was too lazy to argue with him, and ordered Captain Xu with a cold face: "Catch him! Return to the Pacification Division for a thorough interrogation!"
He said as he glanced around.
People from the Wucheng Bingmasi had arrived long ago, and people from Shuntian Prefecture had also arrived. At this time, they all arrived quite timely. I wonder which side was the first to arrive at the scene.
Eunuch An smiled and asked Shen Chen to go back to the Pingxi Marquis Mansion: "Everyone is waiting for you! The emperor and the queen have given you rewards, you have to go back to receive the order! The prince and the princess should be here too..."
Shen Chen waved his hands impatiently and said, "I understand." He smiled at Lin Sanshao with a lingering look on his face, "Hey, Ice Face, if you can't find out, come to me. You don't seem to be that good at being a Jinyiwei. You're so slow, see? Even Wucheng Bingmasi and Shuntianfu are here, and you're the slowest to come."
Eunuch An couldn't help but sigh.
This guy is really a troublemaker. He has to stir up trouble even when there is nothing to do.
How could Young Master Lin be easily provoked? There was no grudge between them, but he had to go up to him and provoke him. He didn't know if this would get him any more meat.
But it's nothing, young people are impulsive and proud. If it weren't for this kind of personality, there wouldn't be such a stalemate with Linjiang Palace. He shook his head and smiled, urging Shen Chen to leave quickly.
