My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 240

Wang Lin was speechless.

Was this Zhao Huan stunned... To actually drive Zhu Lian out of the palace alone, it was clear that he was forcing her to die.

Isn't she afraid that Zhu Lian's death outside the palace will bring disaster to the reputation of the East Palace?

Wang Lin sighed, led the horse and walked slowly behind Zhu Lian for a while, but finally couldn't help calling her: "Crown Princess, are you going back to Zhu's house?"

Zhu Lian staggered a bit: "Yes."

"But from here to Zhu's house, there is still some way to go. If you walk alone, I'm afraid it's not right. Why don't I send you back."

Zhu Lian forced a sad smile on his gloomy face: "I am an abandoned concubine, and I was humiliated and expelled from the palace by the prince... He originally wanted me to die outside the palace, if you help me, Didn't it bother you?"

"Why are you and the prince here?"

The tears on Zhu Lian's face flowed silently, and he remained silent for a long time.

The love in the past was all empty, but perhaps at this moment, Zhao Huan's narrow, headstrong and heartless nature was truly exposed.

What else can she say.

"The crown prince insists on thinking that the Zhu family is in cahoots with King Yun and wants to take away his heir apparent. No matter how I explain it, he will not be merciless at all. He must have hated our Zhu family to the bone..."

"My sister committed suicide, and the entire Zhu family is about to go into exile. Of course, I won't survive... Young Master Wang, just go and leave me alone, or you will be implicated."

Wang Lin sighed.

He actually knew that it was difficult for him to manage this matter, after all, Zhu Lian's identity was too sensitive.

But if he didn't care, Zhu Lian would die in the street tonight.

Not to mention that the current Zhu family has been imprisoned, even if she rushes back to Zhu's house, she may not be able to enter the heavily guarded Zhu's mansion. In other words, this place is at least several miles away from Zhu's house. The Jinwu guards who watch the night are lucky to say that if they encounter some bad guys who come and go at night, they don't know what kind of abuse they will encounter.

Of course, it is also possible that she committed suicide on the way.

Wang Lin thought again and again, he couldn't do such a thing without saving Zhu Lian, so let's save Zhu Lian first.

……

"Crown princess, this is the end of the matter. In fact, people still have to look forward. Since the prince is ruthless and righteous, there is no need for you to risk your life for him. You can stay with me for a day or two, and I will find a way to send him away." You go back to Zhu's house."

Zhu Lianpu was sobbing on the bed.

"Think about it, you still have your parents Gao Tang alive, even if the Zhu family is exiled, there is still a way to survive. If you go to Qingzhou with the Zhu family, life will gradually get better."

"Besides, you have a son... Mother and son will meet each other one day, won't they?"

Wang Lin persuaded him for a long time, seeing that Zhu Lian was still crying, he knew that it would be difficult to let go for a while, at this moment it was obviously inappropriate for the lonely man and widow to be in the same room at night, so he turned and walked away.

He placed Zhu Lian in a wing room in the corner of the back garden of the mansion. There were very few servants in his mansion in the capital, and usually no one came from the back garden.

Walking to the door, Wang Lin sighed again: "Crown Princess, after all, you were once a Crown Princess, I still say that, it is better to live than to die, and to live well is worse than anything else, besides, if you are on my side Suicide is really killing me. Don't worry, I will find a way to send you to Zhu's house tomorrow."

Zhu Lian forced himself to stand up, choked with sobs and said, "I am no longer the princess, Master Wang can just call me by my name... In fact, it is better to let the slave go to die..."

Zhu Lian thought of his youngest son who was still in the palace, fearing that he would never see him again, and also thought of Zhao Huan's ruthlessness, felt sad for a moment, his eyes darkened, and his body slowly fell down.

Wang Lin stepped over to support her, her body was cold and trembling.

"Rest well, don't think too much. Anyway, as long as you are alive, there is hope."

Zhu Lian suddenly turned around and threw herself into Wang Lin's arms, crying loudly.

……

When Wang Lin left the palace and returned to his residence, the Yushitai yamen in the imperial city was brightly lit.

Yushitai is also known as "Xiantai" and "Wutai".

The people of the Han Dynasty were very interesting and gave Yushi a nickname.

Because there are cypress trees near Yushitai, there are many crows on the tree, so it was Wutai.The censor of Wutaili is called "Crow Mouth".

In the Song Dynasty, the power of speech officials was even greater. Not to mention civil and military officials, sometimes even the emperor was afraid of three points.

Why are the officials so rampant?

First: the words are strong, the civil servants are the best at bragging, and they are also the best at speaking, and what they say is well-founded.

Second: the protection of the law of the ancestors.

Third: Beginning with Zhao Kuangyin, the imperial court has set a special rule: Shangyan will not be punished, and even set up a protection mechanism.

As the saying goes, Wen dies to remonstrate, Wu dies to fight.

The eunuchs are not afraid of the emperor, because they are still alive after death.Later generations will also praise being outspoken and dare to advise.

But officials are afraid of villains and powerful officials.Cai Jing has controlled the court for decades. When he was in power, few officials dared to impeach the Tokyo six thieves. This is probably the reason.

Tonight, in the Yushi Terrace of the Great Song Dynasty, from the top to the official Yushi, the official of the yamen, the Yushi Zhongcheng, down to the Taiyuan to serve the Yushi, the palace courtyard to serve the Yushi, the Procuratorate to supervise the Yushi, the third courtyard housekeeper, the master book More than a hundred people gathered in the courtyard, officials, officials, all kinds of people gathered in the courtyard, their faces were righteous and angry, and the discussion was full of enthusiasm.

Song Ting, the imperial historian.

On the left and right are the censors Zhong Cheng Meng Lin and Guo Zhishun.

The censor Zheng Xue, the censor Dongfang Liang in the palace, and the supervisory censor Chen Guang.

Song Tingwei said in a loud voice: "My colleagues, please be quiet. We gather tonight, not for anything else, but for one thing."

"Prince Shaoshi, Bohai County Duke, and Qinglai Jiedu Envoy Wang Lin, who had no eyes on the court's rules and regulations, were originally lucky people, but relied on the favor of the official family to act recklessly, cruelly and violently, and killed the court officials. Formerly, Murong Yan, the prefect of Qingzhou Da, died at his hands without being tried by a judge. Nearly, Qiu Renjie, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture in Hebei, did the same thing, committing the crime of treason, but without the court's consideration of the crime, he arbitrarily killed him!"

"What's more, he killed Qingliu Qin Hui of Hanlin with a sword in the palace, blood was splashed on the spot, and the ferocious air boiled in the palace! This thief is so bold and reckless, where will my great Song etiquette be, where will my civil servants be? We need to join forces to impeach, to defend the laws of the ancestors! To defend the dignity of civil servants!"

Song Ting raised his arms and shouted, and the censors of all classes immediately echoed loudly.

Censor Zhongcheng Meng Lin waved his hands: "Comrades, at the court meeting tomorrow, I will act as if everyone is up and playing, and strive for the court to punish Wang Lin severely, and not to condone traitors!"

Guo Zhishun, who is also the censor Zhongcheng, stood aside, his face was different, but he didn't say a word.

He didn't know why Song Ting wanted to summon his colleagues, but he found out when he arrived at the Yamen that he wanted to gather everyone from the Yushitai to attack the emperor at the tomorrow's court meeting and collectively impeach Wang Lin.

You must know that the main purpose of tomorrow's court meeting is to reward Wang Lin for meritorious service. If there is a storm of condemnation by all the speech officials, it is estimated that this matter will be a waste of time.

If you don't activate it sooner or later, if you activate it at this moment, it is really malicious.

Guo Zhishun thought to himself: "Song Ting is originally a student of Lu Yihao. Could it be that the impeachment of Wang Lin is to avenge Lu Yihao? But it's not right. Lu Yihao conspired with King Yun to rebel. He deserves death. The emperor didn't punish his nine clans. Save face for civil servants, offend the emperor at this time, can you have a good fruit from someone in Song?"

"This person has always been slick and glamorous. Since Wang Lin is now powerful and powerful, even if he is impeached by officials, it won't help. Doesn't he understand? What is his intention when he knows what he can't do?"

"Could it be..." Guo Zhishun had a look of surprise on his face.

……

child time.

As soon as Wang Lin fell asleep, he was awakened.

Having no choice but to get up and change clothes, Yan Qing hurried into the hall with a middle-aged man.

The visitor was in his early forties, with a square complexion, a burly figure, three black beards under his chin, and piercing eyes.

Wang Lin cupped his hands and said, "Guo Zhongcheng!"

Guo Zhishun cupped his hands and said, "It's very presumptuous to visit at night, but the matter is urgent, and after thinking about it over and over again, I still think it's better to come in advance and write a letter with the envoy."

"Master Guo, please speak."

"Tonight, the censor Song Tingwei and Master Song suddenly summoned all my colleagues in the censor platform, intending to impeach the envoy collectively at the tomorrow's court meeting-to win the king's fortune, to be cruel and tyrannical, to kill civil servants arbitrarily, and please envoy You must be mentally prepared!"

impeach me?
Wang Lin frowned, and said carefully: "Song Tingwei...is Lu Yihao's disciple?"

"Exactly."

Wang Lin thought about it for a while, then smiled: "Presumably, Lu Xiang was killed because of this rebellion. Master Song is taking his anger out on me. Do you want to avenge Lu Xiang?"

"Yes, or no." Guo Zhishun said softly.

"How do you say it? Master Guo, please enlighten me."

"It was strange for the Song court to choose to impeach the envoy at tomorrow's court meeting. When the former envoy executed Murong Yanda, the imperial censor at Yushitai was very excited and wanted to impeach the envoy, but he was suppressed by Lord Song. But this time he took the initiative to attack, which really puzzled Guo... There must be another reason?" Guo Zhishun said with deep eyes.

Wang Lin was silent for a long time before saying: "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for reminding me. I understand. Mr. Guo has a deep friendship, and I will write it down in my heart. There will be a report in the future."

Guo Zhishun sighed softly, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "The next official came to the envoy's mansion to report the letter. He didn't intend to cling to the envoy, nor did he intend to repay him. If the heirs of the family take care of you a little, the next official will be very grateful."

Wang Lin looked up at Guo Zhishun.

This person has no friendship with him, so he must have a plan to take such a big risk to report the letter overnight.

He smiled, "So that's the case. Please tell Mr. Guo, why did you bring up this idea?"

"Don't hide it from me, my daughter Guo Lan is Su Wangfei."

Guo Zhishun bowed and saluted, "King Yun rebelled, but King Su and other kings were not rebellious. They are really innocent, but the Tian family was furious and it is irreparable. I only hope that my daughter can live in Qingzhou safely and spend her life. , that's all."

Wang Lin nodded slowly: "Okay. Lord Guo please rest assured, I will definitely protect the safety of Lord Guo's relatives. Yan Qing, send Lord Guo off!"

It is impossible for Wang Guifei and her children to know nothing about King Yun and Zhao Kai's rebellion, but even if they participated, they were not the masterminds. Since Zhao Ji wanted to let them go, why should Wang Lin just be a villain.

Guo Zhishun came to show his favor at night, so it doesn't matter if he just be a favor.

"Thank you, envoy, I will take my leave!" Guo Zhishun left in a hurry.

The smile on Wang Lin's face disappeared instantly.
