Lin Mengya looked at Lord Jingzhao Yinxu in front of her again. In the past, she had only heard of this person coming from a famous family. People are famous for not fearing power and being fair and honest.
However, after these few interactions, Lin Mengya felt that this person was quite interesting.
Being fair yet tactful, and being able to deal with many forces, there must be many ways to do it.
After lowering her eyes and thinking for a moment, Lin Mengya decided that no matter what, she must win over this person.
"My lord, you are overly worried. In fact, I came here this time to report the crime to your lord. After all, a thief broke into my mother's house. If I don't come in person, it will be difficult for your lord to explain, right?"
After listening to Lin Mengya's words, Master Xu finally had a clue.
As long as they didn't come to ask him to release Lin Nansheng, other things wouldn't be difficult.
"Yes, thank you madam for being considerate of me. But, I'm afraid this thief is going to—"
Although the last delivery was confirmed to be a servant of the Shangguan family, the Shangguan family remained calm, which prevented them from finding anything wrong.
After all, the servants alone can't hinder anything in the Shangguan family.
If he acts rashly, all he needs to do is throw out evidence that the servant has been sold long ago, and he will be able to evade everything.
I believe that the eldest lady of the Lin family thinks about this more clearly than he does.
Lin Mengya smiled slightly, but spoke, interrupting Mr. Xu's words.
"These thieves are all wandering bandits. I believe that your Excellency has long hated them. How about using their example to frighten those young people. Of course, as a woman, it is difficult for me to understand your thoughts. , but my lord is just and fair, and it will definitely benefit one party. I came here this time just to do my duty as a sufferer, so please don’t think too much."
After Lin Mengya finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.
In an instant, Master Xu's excuse to persuade Lin Mengya not to get too entangled in this matter was stuck in his throat.
Watching the woman leave, Mr. Xu couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Ordinarily, the Shangguan family and the Lin family are already sworn enemies. Why, instead of asking him to find out the relationship between those people and the Guan family, the eldest lady of the Lin family actually took the initiative to find a way out for him.
To convict those people just because they were rogues would not be an advantage to the Shangguan family.
For a moment, Mr. Xu was also stunned. It seemed that the thoughts of Qian Yu's direct princess were really elusive.
After leaving Jing Zhaoyin's government office, Lin Mengya did not return home.
Instead, he let his sedan chair stop casually in a teahouse.
She took the people to rest and drink tea in the private room on the second floor, but Qinghu, who had been with her for a moment, disappeared.
No one knew what Lin Mengya had in mind.
Just looking at her indifferent look, she also seemed confident.
The four girls were also used to the mysterious appearance of their master, so they just served Lin Mengya and did not ask any more questions.
The time for a cup of tea had passed, and Lin Mengya was still sitting firmly as before.
But the noisy streets have become quieter for some time.
Lin Mengya's eyes quietly fell on a few small stalls that had just disappeared.
There was a hint of a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's go to Ziwei Alley."
Before he finished speaking, Qinghu's figure appeared in front of Lin Mengya. With a somewhat frivolous smile on his handsome face, he smiled brightly at Lin Mengya, revealing his neat white teeth.
"Now that the flies have been driven away, it's the best time."
With a brilliant smile, Lin Mengya seemed to be playing some kind of riddle with Qing Hu.
The four girls looked at each other, but they didn't understand what kind of trick Qinghu and his master were playing.
Coming out of the teahouse, Lin Mengya bent over the sedan chair.
On both sides of the street, the few stalls that had just been vacated have now been quietly filled.
His eyes inadvertently passed over a few dark faces. It was really hard to pretend.
When setting up a stall on the street, how could the stall owner only focus on staring at her sedan chair and forget to shout
The rouge seller stood next to the water stall, and the lime seller stood next to the preserve seller. The fisherman wore a pair of brocade boots, and he had a brand new ax stuck to his waist for cutting wood.
After shaking her head, Lin Mengya lowered the sedan curtain. Maybe as eyeliners, their skills are equally as good as those of others.
But in terms of camouflage, I'm afraid there are still many imitation details missing.
Anyone who is more attentive will recognize their irregularities. What's more, she already knew that there would always be eyes staring at her around her
"As you expected, after we left, Mr. Xu sent someone to the palace to deliver the message."
Beside the sedan, Qinghu, dressed as a guard, leaned on the side and talked softly to Lin Mengya.
"Of course he is going. Mr. Xu is from the emperor. This time, I sold him a favor. Naturally, his master reciprocated the favor."
If he was not from the emperor, then my brother would not be imprisoned here and would receive some preferential treatment.
Not to mention, Long Tianyu can arrange for them to meet.
Moreover, the emperor probably also understood that the Lin family could hand over military power or cease operations, but it must not be slaughtered wantonly.
Otherwise, what will be lost will be the established forces that have always supported the royal family.
Therefore, the emperor probably knew that his brother had the ability to prove that he had not colluded with the enemy.
Even if the elder brother doesn't say anything, the emperor will let the elder brother be freed from this crime.
So, she sold Master Xu a favor in return. The emperor, the master behind it, would certainly open a door of convenience for her.
On this point, she and the emperor knew each other tacitly.
As for the flies that disappeared, they were replaced by the emperor's people.
At this time, if she really wanted to hide it from everyone, it was just a whim.
Therefore, she had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. As long as the emperor had no intention of stopping her from clearing her brother's name, then it didn't matter if he found out.
"I've already made inquiries. Ziwei Hutong is not far from here. However, I have never heard of someone like Gou San. Are you sure that the person your brother mentioned can really be found there?"
Compared with the big target Lin Mengya, Qinghu, who has extremely light skills at his side, can come in and out more casually.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and shook her head thoughtfully.
"I don't know either. Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."
Brother said this, which means that this Gou San can really clear his name.
But just like Qinghu said, how can she find this person
Moreover, the emperor and her were able to find this gap before the Shangguan family could react.
Once I miss it, I don’t know when and what month I will have such an opportunity again.
Therefore, she must grasp it well in order to live up to her brother's expectations.
Ziwei Alley is just the most common alley in Kyoto.
It's just that there aren't many people here and it's close to the government office, so it's quite quiet.
Lin Mengya felt that if everyone went there, the target would be too big. Therefore, I sent my servants and a few girls back, and I only took Qinghu with me.
Standing at the entrance of the deep alley, Lin Mengya was actually at a loss.
She couldn't yell about this, otherwise, if someone found out, all her previous efforts would be wasted.
"Why don't I go door to door and check. Anyone who has a personal relationship with your brother must not be a mortal. I still have this kind of eyesight."
Qinghu didn't want Lin Mengya to be troubled like this, so he took the initiative to ask for help.
Lin Mengya thought for a while, but rejected his method.
"No, he doesn't know our purpose of coming, and if something happened to my brother, it may have spread throughout Kyoto. What if he thinks that we are going to do something bad to him, then what if he hides or takes the opportunity to run away? ?”
Outside Ziwei Alley, there is a big locust tree.
At this time, the tender green leaves formed complex vertical and horizontal patterns, casting light shadows.
Lin Mengya and Qinghu stood in the shadows and talked softly.
One is a stunning beauty with pink and jade carvings, and the other is also unparalleled and it is difficult to distinguish between male and female.
These two people together are definitely a very eye-catching sight of beauty.
But they had no idea that the figures of the two people had already fallen into the eyes of one person.
Lin Mengya, who was helpless, was frowning and thinking of a solution. Qinghu, who was comforting her softly just now, took her into his arms in an instant.
Then, like lightning, his right hand grabbed her behind. The next second, the crisp sound of broken bones, mixed with the man's scream, surprised Lin Mengya.
Looking up again, the gentleness on Qinghu's face had disappeared, replaced by an icy coldness between his eyebrows that made his heart fear.
It's been a long time since I've seen him like this.
Lin Mengya turned her head and saw a face grinning in pain.
"Oh, oh, oh! My hand! Beauty, quickly... let go of my hand!"
The man was in so much pain that he almost burst into tears, but his tone was still frivolous.
Qinghu hated people like this the most. He grabbed the man's fingers and applied a little force. Suddenly, the man's wrist was twisted into an extremely weird arc.
"Beauty... Beauty, I'm being rude... Oh, my, please let me go!"
The man's facial features were twisted into a ball. Lin Mengya looked at him. Although the man's mouth was dishonest, there was no evil desire in his eyes.
On the contrary, even though he was in such pain, when he saw himself looking at him, he managed to force out a smile that was barely polite.
"Little beauty...can you discuss with this big beauty...let me go, okay?"
Being called beautiful by the other party, Lin Mengya only thought that this person was a little weird. In fact, his tone did not contain any other emotions.
It's just a pure title, just like in modern society, everyone is used to calling people beautiful and handsome.
