After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 128 Killing someone with a borrowed knife (7)
After Zhou Jiaoling left, Lin Luoling ordered Biyou to go to Yunfangyuan to inquire about the every move of Yongning Marquis and his wife.
It was not until dawn that Lin Luoling woke up and Biyou came back.
Biyou and Lin Luoling said that Marquis Yongning and his wife first complained about the petty-mindedness of the Lin family, only giving the two shops 100 dan of grain every day and setting a low price of 30 coins, saying that they wanted him to work in vain. At this rate, they would not be able to earn enough grain for the second prince in more than a month.
The wife of the Marquis of Yongning comforted him, "Didn't you send Zhou Yulan to the Prince Rui's mansion? With Prince Rui's personality, he won't be too picky with you about the food."
"You make it sound so easy, but how can I not take it seriously? After the beginning of autumn this year, the Xiongnu will definitely invade the northern border to steal food, otherwise how will they survive the winter? Hey... King Rui comes to ask for food from time to time. If I don't fill the gap in the grain storage in Jingxuzhou, it will be a problem sooner or later."
Marquis Yongning pinched his brows and sighed.
The wife of the Yongning Marquis persuaded them for a while. After the couple washed up, the wife of the Yongning Marquis suddenly said, "I always feel that there is a traitor in our mansion, have you discovered it? The things that have happened in our mansion recently are too unbelievable and frequent?"
Yongning Hou thought for a moment and agreed, "Indeed."
The couple couldn't fall asleep even when they were lying on the couch, and they guessed the identities of all the suspects in the mansion.
Naturally, Lin Luoling was also guessed among them.
Madam Yongning Marquis watched Lin Luoling grow up and knew her personality very well. She shook her head and said, "Luo Ling's personality is not like He Jinchun's, but she is quite similar to her aunt's.
Even if Luo Ling knows that we have deceived her and had ulterior motives, as long as we are a little considerate of her in everything and can get by on the surface, she won't care too much.
Besides, she is such a kind-hearted person, she would never do such a thing."
Yongning Marquis tilted his head and said, "During the Happy New Year last year, King Rui sent someone to deliver a gift and mentioned to me that he wanted Zhu Xianzhi to marry Lin Luoling. In fact, that person came again and talked to me privately about waiting for Lin Luoling to marry into the Yongning Marquis's mansion.
Let me find ways to get rid of Lin Luoling and the Lin family. I guess Prince Rui has been coveting the Lin family's property for a long time. Maybe he has a grudge with Mr. He, so he wants to use me to get rid of the Lin family.
How could the Lin family be easily eliminated? Even if they were eliminated, the blood relatives involved with the Lin family were not mediocre people. I didn't want to cause such a disaster, so I politely declined the offer with that person.
It was just that Xianzhi happened to come when I was talking to that person, so I guess he heard something."
Madam Yongning sighed, "Although I really dislike Lan Wanshuang and Xianzhi, both mother and son are heartless. At the beginning, I thought that if Luo Ling could marry Xianzhi, Xianzhi would change a little, which would be a good thing.
Xianzhi has such a good backer like Lin, so he won't have to worry about his life. If he is smart, he should seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, treat Luo Ling well, abandon the evil thoughts in his heart, and listen less to Lan Wanshuang's instigation. "
Yongning Hou snorted and laughed, "Even if Xianzhi married a princess, it wouldn't change his nature. He and his mother are villains who will destroy the bridge after crossing it. Their hearts are darker than ink. How could they be grateful for what they have received?"
Eventually, Marquis Yongning and his wife guessed that the recent unrest in the Marquis Yongning's mansion was most likely related to Rong Shuhua, or maybe Zhou Jiaoling wanted to get rid of Lan Wanshuang and become Zhu Jingzhong's legal wife.
After much speculation, it seemed that there was a traitor causing chaos in the mansion, which would make Marquis Yongning and his wife somewhat annoyed. They planned to observe secretly for a few more days, find out the traitor, and punish him severely.
The more the couple talked, the less sleepy they felt, so they just dumped out everything that had been hidden in their minds for the past few years.
Lin Luoling learned from Biyou that when Concubine Li gave birth to Prince An, the Empress secretly asked the old marquis to contact many ministers in the court and forced Emperor Deshun to make Prince Rui the crown prince.
The next day, followers of Concubine Chen's mother's family joined forces with some ministers to expose more than a dozen faults of the old marquis in the court. Although each crime was not serious, it was difficult for the emperor to tolerate it.
In fact, most of the crimes they listed the old marquis had committed were committed by the old marquis at the behest of the queen.
This matter lasted for nearly half a month. Emperor Deshun was furious and although he did not convict the old marquis, he demoted him to Xuzhou in the capital.
The old marquis wrote to the empress dowager many times, but the empress dowager was not favored by Emperor Deshun and was unable to plead for the old marquis.
On the contrary, during those years, the ministers who supported Prince Rui as the crown prince were impeached one after another. Some were imprisoned, and some were exiled to Lingnan. Meanwhile, the power of Concubine Chen gradually began to grow, and was basically equal to that of the Queen.
Then there is the loyal emperor faction, forming a three-way confrontation in the court.
Let Lin Luoling understand why Jiang Chi said that Emperor Deshun was good at checks and balances.
From this we can see that Marquis Yongning did not actually want to be loyal to King Rui, but he had no other choice.
Lin Luoling listened quietly to every word Biyou said. One thing shocked Lin Luoling so much that he couldn't calm down for a long time. After falling into deep thought and considering for a long time, he finally came up with a countermeasure.
……
For two consecutive days, Lin Luoling left the house after breakfast. Every time Zhu Xianzhi came to Shuxi Pavilion to look for Lin Luoling, the servant told him that Lin Luoling said she wanted to buy a house, so she went back to the Lin Mansion.
On the third day, as soon as Lin Luoling entered the gate of the Lin Mansion, she saw Jiang Feng walking towards her in a hurry.
"The young lady is back. Young Master Jiang sent someone back to say that he was trapped in Beishan and asked me to take a dozen people to rescue him."
Hearing this, Lin Luoling paused. She would believe anyone who was in trouble, except Jiang Chi, whom she did not believe.
Thinking of what Jiang Chi had mentioned to her before, that he had found ore for making weapons in a mountain, Lin Luoling became curious and suggested going with Jiang Feng to take a look.
Jiang Chi's followers rode in front, and when they reached a very inconspicuous place between two mountains in Beishan, Jiang Chi's followers dismounted, and the others followed suit, including Lin Luoling who got off the carriage.
With Biyou's help, the group climbed more than ten feet and came across a very flat mountain road. However, the road was not very wide and could only accommodate two people.
After turning left and walking about thirty or forty feet, you will see an irregular stone staircase, which is worn very smooth in many places.
Jiang Feng only took a quick look and roughly estimated that this set of stone steps was deliberately piled up by our ancestors at least hundreds of years ago, and they often walked here.
After walking along the stone steps for a while, we saw a cave.
The entrance of the cave looked very large, but it was pitch black inside. Everyone looked at each other, and even Biyou and Bizhi did not dare to go in easily.
Jiang Chi's followers scratched their heads and urged, "My young master is inside, let's go in quickly."
Lin Luoling continued, "Just now I asked you what kind of dangers and difficulties your young master encountered, and you hesitated for a long time and refused to tell me. If you had told me earlier that he was in a cave like this, we would have brought torches. In this dark cave, who knows if there are snakes, insects, rats, ants, or traps in it."
Jiang Feng nodded in agreement.
But Jiang Chi's followers entered the cave and came out with two wooden sticks with cotton strips that had been burned by fire wrapped around them. They raised them towards them, meaning: Don't we have torches here?
Jiang Feng personally lit the cotton swabs on the wooden stick. He held one up and handed one to Biyou, then told Biyou and Bizhi to protect Lin Luoling.
Jiang Chi's follower smiled secretly, turned around and went into the cave to lead the way for them.
