Xiao Yanlin didn't wait for the concierge's reply and barged in directly.

When he found Gu Baiyu, the first thing he did was rush to Gu Baiyu's side, take her hand and look up and down to make sure she was safe, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the second prince and the old Taoist priest next to him, they didn't even bother to look at them.

He helped Gu Baiyu up and gently touched her hair, "It's my fault that you were frightened. Let's go back home."

When had the Second Prince been ignored like this?

He immediately slapped the table: "Xiao Yanlin, don't bully others too much, this is my territory!"

Xiao Yanlin turned around and glanced at him coldly, "Isn't it the king's land in the world? It's better for the second prince to say less about such treacherous words. Is this your territory? I don't remember that the prince was you! What's more, even if it's the prince himself , and dare not say such words, the second prince had better think carefully about the way he speaks, knowing that trouble comes from the mouth!"

When the second prince heard this, his face became even more ugly.

It's not because of Xiao Yanlin, but because of him.

Because of the corruption incident, the two parties were at war with each other in the court.

Originally, the two sides were equally powerful, and no one was willing to give in to the other. The reason why the second prince was at a disadvantage now was that he thought that the water wheel and the fertile field formula were already certain, so when he was drinking flower wine with his confidants, he accidentally Spilled the news.

So Xiao Yanlin got the clues and followed them all the way to find out the people involved.

Only then did the second prince jump over the wall and tie up Gu Baiyu.

So now that Xiao Yanlin's words "disaster comes from his mouth" are mocking his previous carelessness, isn't it?

However, the second prince was not a soft persimmon who could be manipulated by others. As soon as he slapped the table, dozens of guards had already surrounded the entire room.

On the other hand, Xiao Yanlin was alone with a pregnant wife like Gu Baiyu.

Thinking of this, the second prince calmed down.

"My prince doesn't want to get into such a quarrel with the Marquis. Why don't we sit down and have a good chat. If there was any misunderstanding before, just talk it out."

Xiao Yanlin originally didn't want to talk nonsense with them, but now he only cared about one thing, Gu Baiyu's safety, and whether Gu Baiyu was really angry.

All he wants now is to coax his little wife back home, give a good explanation, and gain her forgiveness.

But Gu Baiyu was now full of curiosity about the old Taoist priest behind the second prince, and wanted to hear how the second prince was going to interact with Xiao Yanlin and Zhou Xuan, so he gently pulled Xiao Yanlin's sleeve.

"You might as well listen to what the second prince has to say."

Xiao Yanlin now followed Gu Baiyu's wishes in everything, endured it, and sat down.

In fact, if he wants to leave, the people outside can't stop him. Even if he brings Gu Baiyu with him, he can guarantee to leave safely.

I just didn't know what Gu Baiyu had in mind, so he followed it with a curious look.

"Second Prince, you might as well tell me why you went to such great lengths to invite my husband and I here today." Xiao Yanlin said.

The second prince looked like you were asking questions knowingly: "What do you think? Xiao Yanlin, always give people some leeway and don't be aggressive in everything!"

Xiao Yanlin adjusted his sleeves slowly: "I don't understand what the second prince is saying."

The second prince gritted his teeth and said, "Don't pretend to be confused because you understand. I'm talking about the implementation of the water wheel in the northwest and the fertile field recipe!"

Xiao Yanlin made a surprised expression: "Then the people below had evil intentions and wanted to do something wrong. Didn't they embezzle the silver allocated by His Majesty to the people? When I mentioned this matter in the court that day, Second Prince, you But I was filled with righteous indignation and vowed to punish those local officials who don’t know the heights of the world. Why are they now leaving some room for me to do things?”

Xiao Yanlin said calmly: "Could it be that the money you took from Tan Mo ended up in your pocket, the second prince?"

The second prince slapped the table again: "Xiao Yanlin, don't slander anyone!"

Xiao Yanlin spread his hands: "In that case, it has nothing to do with the second prince, so why are you angry again?"

The second prince took a deep breath and calmed down more than himself.

Even now, if possible, he still wants to keep his confidants.

The northwest matter has now been brought to the emperor by Xiao Yanlin, and a thorough investigation has begun.

Of course he was certain that he would not be involved, but if he could not guarantee it, someone would not want his life and drag him into the water.

Even if he was not implicated in the end, this matter involved too many people, and 70% of them were his confidants who had worked hard for many years to compete with the prince. He was really unwilling to lose it like this!

Besides, there are no fools in the court now. If he can't protect his own people this time, how can others dare to serve him in the future?

I'm afraid that after this incident, his vitality will be severely damaged, and he may even lose the possibility of competing with the prince for the throne!

Thinking of this, the second prince became tough again.

"There is nothing in this world that cannot be discussed. If there is, then the bargaining chips given are not enough."

The second prince took a deep look at Xiao Yanlin: "The officials involved in this matter are all on good terms with me, but they were obsessed with them for a while. I made it clear that I want to protect these people. What will happen to the Marquis of Zhenbei?" How can we let them go?"

Xiao Yanlin listened to what he said and shook his head with a smile: "I think the second prince made a few mistakes."

"First, the people in the northwest reported this matter and submitted a letter to Kyoto, and then His Majesty began a thorough investigation. It has nothing to do with me;"

"Secondly, I, Xiao Yanlin, am a reckless man. I am good at fighting, but I know nothing about investigating crimes. I have already made it clear to Your Majesty that I will never participate in this matter;"

"Thirdly, Your Majesty misunderstood Zuo Lingfeng because of a trivial matter. Now he feels guilty and wants to give Mr. Zuo and himself a step down. The northwest incident involves many officials in the court. These people have been working together for many years. Your Majesty is worried about whether Someone is covering up, I heard that Mr. Zuo is coming out of Dali Temple today..."

"A new scholar who has a clean background, is loyal, and does not participate in court struggles. When he is so high-spirited that he cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, does the Second Prince think that His Majesty will hand over this case to him?"

The three points Xiao Yanlin said seemed to be giving advice to the second prince and clarifying his relationship, but in the ears of the second prince, they sounded like ridicule and provocation!

How could the person who complained come out of the northwest alive?

He was "accidentally" met by Xiao Yanlin's people and protected all the way!

If you say there is nothing fishy, ​​who would believe it? !

Besides, before Xiao Yanlin pretended to tell the emperor that he would not participate in this matter, he had already handed over everything he had found!

The second prince simply couldn't imagine how many things there were that were not beneficial to him!

Now, if you say that a warrior can't investigate a case, it's obvious that you already have a winning chance, so you don't want to investigate it yourself!

Let’s talk about Zuo Lingfeng...

The second prince gritted his teeth. He was the one who ordered Zuo Lingfeng to be framed. There were two reasons. One was that the woman Gu Ruanruan mentioned the brother and sister many times in front of him and encouraged him to clean up. The other was that he knew that Zuo Lingfeng was framed. Feng and Xiao Yan were on good terms, but at that time they just wanted to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

Who would have thought that now they would be shooting themselves in the foot!

After all, he never expected that Zuo Lingfeng was really upright and upright, and that he could not find out anything at all!

Now that people are about to be released, if Zuo Lingfeng is really responsible for this matter, he will probably have to take a bite out of himself before he gives up!

Thinking of this, the second prince looked at Gu Baiyu and Xiao Yanlin with almost poisonous eyes: "I have finished my good words, so it seems that the Marquis of Zhenbei will not take soft things, but will take hard things?"
