The vicious villain is pretending to be weak again

The next day, when Jiang Lingyi was facing Lin Jiang's face, strange eyes from all around had fallen on her from time to time.

She could hear a few old fellows in the Privy Council talking unconvincedly.

'Lin Jiang' has been a bit too prominent recently, and Eucommia and the prince pushed her to the forefront.

She lowered her head expressionlessly and straightened her official robe, but she didn't show any sign of fear.

After all, he was the one who sat next to the emperor and pointed cold eyebrows.

In the past, she faced much more malice than now.

So she didn't pay much attention, even when Du Zhong called to stop her again, she turned around calmly, and even saluted respectfully.

Du Zhong looked at her with squinted eyes, his usually cold face was a bit unpredictable.

"Is the official document I asked you to sort out a few days ago?"

"It's finished, and it will be sent to the adult's desk later." Jiang Lingyi said as a sensible student, without breaking the rules.

Du Zhong looked down at her, and suddenly and keenly noticed a gaze.

He turned his head, only to see Xu Guanlan standing beside Grand Master Mu.

Grand Master Mu showed a rare smile, and even approached eagerly, his face was covered with old creases, every line was full of ill intentions.

Xu Guanlan turned his head slightly to listen to him talking, one side fell in the shadow, the other side faced the light, his profile was clearly defined, and he didn't look towards them.

Humph.

Du Zhong sneered and turned his head back.

He left first, and Jiang Lingyi followed slowly. Unfortunately, before he had taken a few steps, the prince's voice stopped her.

"Master Lin."

"My minister has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhao De raised his chin, looked playfully at the boy's cold and pale face, and then raised his eyebrows playfully.

"Did Master Lin sleep well last night?"

"Everything is fine, thank you Your Highness for your concern." After Jiang Lingyi finished speaking, Zhao De sneered, he raised his hand and patted Jiang Lingyi's shoulder, and the jade wrench pinched her shoulder bone.

"Master Lin, my concubine's younger sister was reading "Thousand Characters" before dawn this morning. Those who didn't know thought she was going to take the No. [-] Scholar exam in the spring of next year."

He spoke with a smile, and gave her a meaningful look.

"However, Xiao Qi of the Zheng family is also an interesting person. If there is a chance in the future, maybe..."

"Your Highness was joking, Miss Zheng Qi is eager to learn, which is naturally excellent."

Jiang Lingyi interrupted Zhao De's unfinished words in a low voice, last night she had no choice but to use reading to prevaricate the little girl.

Who knows, she really went to recite it.

Now, Jiang Lingyi really felt a little tricky.

Seeing his appearance of disregarding the relationship, Zhao De just smiled and left.

In the eyes of others, even Du Zhong, the deputy commander of the Privy Council, and the crown prince have a preference for him.

Everyone's eyes became even more sour, and a stale and sour smell permeated the air.

The autumn wind was rustling, a few officials took advantage of the rest time, sat cross-legged, made a cup of tea each, pursed their mouths and blew away the hot mist, took a sip of tea, took a long breath of relief, and the house was lit. The elegant fragrance rises curlingly.

One of them put down his teacup, his face full of resentment.

"What kind of ability does that Lin Jiang have, a brat with no family background and no background, why should he pass us by?"

"Hey, you haven't seen that face, don't talk nonsense, maybe it's really..." A thinner man narrowed his eyes subtly, his face was a little pale, and when he spoke, the corners of his mouth were half hooked, his tone Quirky and sharp.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone else laughed.

"It's just a wild boy, I really think of myself as a thing, bah."

The man said a few more cursing words, and the others just laughed and agreed.

They pride themselves on being lofty, and even scolding others must be lofty, and they are not stained with vulgarity.

Jiang Lingyi stood outside and listened to a few words, then left without haste.

She bumped into several small rooms in the Privy Council. She looked up at the sky, it was getting late, it was gray, and it was probably going to rain again. She hesitated for a while, then rubbed the soles of her feet with oil. Ready to run away.

As for business?

In her previous life, she couldn't finish her work when she died in her previous life. In this life, as a third-rank official, would she still die in front of a public case?

Jiang Lingyi felt that she didn't have this kind of patience, and if something really happened, Du Zhong's suspicious nature would not allow her to intervene, and she didn't bother to bother about other trivial things.

Today's Lin Jiang is already eye-catching enough, and if he takes some more credit, those people will probably jump even more.

She walked slowly from the path to the back door, and after she walked out of the Privy Council, a figure quietly appeared behind her.

You can't bring your servants with you when you enter the Privy Council, so Hairpin is following her secretly as before.

"What about Huarong?"

"The prince is already dealing with the people left by the Mu family, but he said he wants to see you."

Jiang Lingyi looked up at the sky, covered by dark clouds, and in the oppressive and dull air, there was a damp and rotten smell.

"Now is not the time to meet." She murmured.

"Recently, Zhao Quan has been suppressed a little bit hard. I need to give some sweetness. Have you found the person I'm looking for?"

"Not yet."

Hearing this answer, Jiang Lingyi was not surprised.

What she was looking for was the servant of Zhang Chuan, the former envoy of salt and iron.

Zhang Chuan died suddenly at home a year ago, and then his wife dismissed the servants and sold the house, and returned to the countryside with a few children, but there was no further news.

But Jiang Lingyi knew that in Zhang Chuan's hand, there was something that could kill the Mu family.

ledger.

Regarding the ledgers that Zhang Chuan has embezzled for the Mu family over the years.

Unfortunately, no one can find Zhang Chuan's loyal servant, not even Jiang Lingyi.

The two walked out along the alley, and slowly, only Jiang Lingyi was left alone. At the corner, there was a carriage crossing the exit, very domineering.

He Qing, who was sitting there doing nothing, jumped down immediately when he saw Jiang Lingyi's figure.

"Master Lin."

"..." Jiang Lingyi nodded, without him saying anything, just passed him and got into the car, with a tacit understanding throughout the whole process, and He Qing didn't even need to invite him.

He Qing scratched his head, obviously he couldn't figure out why his young general came here suddenly, and he actually met this Master Lin.

He was still muttering just now, at this point in time, where would someone come out.

Who knew there were.

Master Lin, this is...

Are you being lazy?
