After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

Before the steward of Prince Jin's mansion left the capital, Prince An's followers reported to Emperor Deshun in public during court that heavy rains had hit Xuzhou, destroying mountain dams and causing five or six villages to be flooded.

In fact, Lin Luoling and Prince An’s explanation was that it was a dream she had.

Therefore, Prince An did not believe it completely. He first asked Cao Peng to forcibly take the villagers who were affected by the disaster to Beishan, and then wrote several secret letters to his followers.

The content of the secret letter was the same. If it rained in Xuzhou for more than three consecutive days, they would report it to Emperor Deshun in public during the morning court session.

Before writing a secret letter to his followers, Prince An first wrote a secret letter and sent it to the palace by a secret guard, and then handed it to Emperor Deshun personally.

Prince An did not want Emperor Deshun to know about his relationship with Lin Luoling for the time being, so he lied and said it was just a dream.

After reading it, Emperor Deshun laughed and said, "You took a dream so seriously? You have only been in Jingfu Temple for a few days. Could it be that you have learned the ability to tell fortunes by reading scriptures every day?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but in fact Emperor Deshun was somewhat angry with his beloved Prince An.

Two years earlier, Emperor Deshun had intended to bring Prince An and Lin Luoling together, so he allowed Prince An to have more private interactions with Lin Tingxu.

Unexpectedly, Prince An, whether he was pretending to be stupid or really didn't understand what he meant, actually had several private contacts with Lin Tingxu. Not only did he not set foot in the Lin Mansion, but he didn't care about marriage at all.

Emperor Deshun learned about this on the third day after Lin Luoling went to Jingfu Temple. He had been waiting for Prince An to write a secret letter to tell him about their relationship.

He waited and waited but nothing happened. Instead, what he got was a secret letter from Prince An telling him about his dream.

Emperor Deshun was so anxious. Seeing that Prince An had turned twenty, and Prince Jin and Prince Rui had already married their princesses, he wanted to go to Xuzhou in person, scold Prince An to wake him up, and quickly find a princess for him to have a few more children.

Emperor Deshun sighed quietly, asked a few questions about Prince An's affairs in Xuzhou, then dismissed the secret guards.

Who would have thought that the rainfall date written in Prince An’s secret letter was almost the same, even the destruction of mountain dams and the flooding of several villages were consistent with it.

This made Emperor Deshun wonder, what is the Son of Heaven? Perhaps he did not choose the wrong prince, Prince An was the Son of Heaven.

Emperor Deshun lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and ordered the Du Shuisi to personally lead people to Jingxuzhou to interrogate Jingxuzhou Du Shuicheng and find out why he suddenly dug a mountain dam.

He also ordered the third-rank Zuomin Shangshu (in charge of civil affairs), the third-rank Jiucao Shangshu (in charge of agricultural affairs), and the third-rank Duguan Shangshu (in charge of law and prisons) to go to Jingxuzhou early tomorrow morning with the Dushuisi to thoroughly investigate the matter and comfort the people affected by the disaster in Jingxuzhou.

Among these three gentlemen, the Minister of the Left is the man of Prince Jin, the Minister of the Old Cao is the man of Prince An, and the Minister of the Capital is the man of Prince Rui.

The reason why these three were chosen to go to Xuzhou together with the Water Resources Department was the checks and balances tactic that Emperor Deshun had always used.

The steward of the Prince of Jin's mansion left the capital and when he reached the border of Beijing and Xuzhou, he was blocked by heavy rain. He had to walk back five or six miles and stayed at a post station.

As a result, the officials from the Du Shui Si sent by Emperor Deshun arrived at Cao Peng's residence in Xuzhou, Jing before the steward of the Prince of Jin's residence.

By the time the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion arrived in Xuzhou, Zhu Xianzhi had already been summoned by Cao Peng to the Governor's Mansion.

After the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion learned about the continuous heavy rains in Xuzhou, he met privately with Shangshu Zuomin in the Qionglou Yuge that night, looking at the drizzle outside the window.

Both of them believed that Zhu Xianzhi must have colluded with Cao Peng to set a trap for Prince Jin.

Knowing that Marquis Yongning was a man of King Rui, they believed that Cao Peng had defected to King Rui.

Now that we have come to Jingxuzhou, how can we let Yongning Hou and Zhu Xianzhi go?

As for Cao Peng, the governor of Xuzhou, they did not intend to let him go. However, Cao Peng was also a third-rank official, so if they wanted to deal with Cao Peng, they could only return to Beijing and discuss it later.

Prince An and Lin Luoling of Jingfu Temple would take walks with umbrellas during the drizzle. If it rained heavily, Jiang Chi would hunt wild rabbits, mountain deer, pheasants, etc., and call Princess July and Chen Yin to go to Lin Luoling's Jingxin Courtyard to barbecue.

Every night, Prince An's secret guards would come to Jingxinyuan and report to Prince An every detail of what happened in Xuzhou.

Today is no exception.

After hearing from the secret guards that Zhu Xianzhi was thrown into prison this morning, just after noon, Cao Peng sent the official Chen Shouyuan to lead the troops to surround the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. A total of 53 masters and servants of the Yongning Marquis were imprisoned.

Hearing this, Lin Luoling, who was holding the blackie, paused, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure it's fifty-three?"

The secret guard nodded and said, "I have counted them myself. Including the Marquis of Yongning, there are a total of fifty-three people."

"What's wrong?" Prince An asked Lin Luoling.

These days, Prince An and Lin Luoling get along very harmoniously. They are like close friends and always have endless things to talk about.

Lin Luoling put the black piece back into the chess box and said to Prince An, "It seems that the wife of the Marquis of Yongning has sold all the slaves in the West Courtyard. Including the Marquis of Yongning and his wife, there should be 55 people in the East Courtyard."

"In other words, two people escaped early?" Prince An frowned.

At this time, the secret guard slapped his forehead and said, "No one escaped. I was just about to report this to His Royal Highness Prince An. After the official Chen Shouyuan took the master and servant of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion away, I saw a man in black jumping over the high wall of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, so I followed him from a distance.

I wanted to see what he was going to do, but he didn’t know what he was looking for, and instead found two bodies in an abandoned well in the east courtyard.”

When Lin Luoling heard this, her first thought was that the wife of Marquis Yongning killed Aunt Xu and the daughter she gave birth to.

He then asked the secret guard in detail what the two bodies looked like.

After hearing the description from the secret guards, Lin Luoling concluded that the two bodies were not those of Aunt Xu and her daughter, but the two concubines of Marquis Yongning.

The secret guard said, "From my perspective, they were beaten to death. Perhaps because it has been raining for the past few days, they were temporarily thrown into the abandoned well."

Prince An raised his eyebrows and said, "Either the Marquis of Yongning did it, or Fang Shi did it. Tell Cao Peng about this as soon as possible. The Marquis of Yongning has one more crime to charge him with."

The secret guard said, "I was afraid that the night would be too long and the man in black would take the initiative, so I went to the governor Cao's mansion before him and told him about this. When the governor Cao sent people to the Yongning Marquis's mansion, the man in black had not taken the body away from the dry well.

I guess the man in black is looking for the account book or a secret letter."

Prince An nodded and said, "Is there anything else you want to report?"

The secret guard had nothing more to report, so he left the Jingxin Courtyard.

Lin Luoling, who was standing in front of the window, suddenly turned around and asked Prince An behind him, "Can I go down the mountain?"

"Are you going to the governor's prison?" asked Prince An.
