After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 52 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount
Cao Peng was really frightened, and immediately ordered the Xuzhou Duwei Mansion to investigate the matter thoroughly. Even the counties under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou received Cao Peng's order to investigate the assassins who assassinated Prince An and Princess July and where they were hiding.
In less than two hours, the streets of the entire Xuzhou were almost empty of civilians, and officers and soldiers were searching everywhere for suspicious persons.
After the Lin family received the news, they closed the door tightly.
Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun informed the wife of Ningyuan Marquis and ordered Madam Qi to send a few reliable housekeepers and servants to say, "The master and the maids, servants and servants in the mansion are not allowed to leave the mansion."
After several careful investigations, Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun learned that Tianxiang Tower was secretly opened by the second prince, Prince Rui, with the purpose of monitoring Prince An's every move and making some money in Xuzhou, the capital, to subsidize his troops.
So, Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun called Lin Luoling and explained to her the interests involved in Tianxiang Tower.
Lin Luoling frowned and said, "Then the Marquis of Yongning is not the man of the Second Prince Rui Wang? Otherwise, why would the courtesan of Tianxiang Tower discuss matters with the Marquis of Yongning in the study in the middle of the night under the pretext of being a grain escort officer?"
Lin Tingxu nodded slightly, agreeing with Lin Luoling's words.
He Jinchun sighed, "If I had known that the Marquis of Yongning was the King of Rui's man, I would never have allowed Zhu Xianzhi to open a shop to sell grain. But now that I have said this to Zhu Xianzhi, it is difficult to go back on my word."
Lin Luoling understood what her mother meant. In this way, the Lin family’s food would be equivalent to subsidizing the troops of the second prince, King Rui.
The eldest prince, Prince Jin, arranged Liu Bo to be an aide to the military officer of Xuzhou in the capital, keeping an eye on Prince An's every move. It is hard to guarantee that he did not order Liu Bo to spy on the Lin family.
Lin Luoling knew that her father did not want to be involved in the fight for the throne among the princes. If Zhu Xianzhi was allowed to sell grain, even if it was an unintentional act on their part, in the eyes of the eldest prince, Prince Jin, it would be that the Lin family had defected to the second prince, Prince Rui, because of Marquis Yongning.
If her father and mother changed their minds and did not allow Zhu Xianzhi to sell grain, the second prince, Prince Rui, would be offended when he found out.
Lin Luoling pinched her brows, feeling that she had thought the matter was too simple. At that time, she only wanted to deal with Zhu Xianzhi and did not want to involve her parents in the fight for the throne for no reason.
It was difficult to get off the tiger's back, and Lin Luoling couldn't help but sigh with a depressed look.
Lin Tingxu gathered his sleeves and stood up to comfort her, "There is still a way to turn this around. You don't have to be so sad."
After saying this, Lin Tingxu paused and continued, "The eldest prince, Prince Jin, is a cunning and vicious person, and the second prince, Prince Rui, is ambitious and arrogant, and all his staff are sinister villains.
Your Majesty appointed Cao Peng as the governor of Xuzhou because Cao Peng was a slippery fence-sitter and both the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Rui found it difficult to recruit him.
Given Cao Peng's suspicious nature, he might know something about the spies planted by Prince Jin and Prince Rui. On the surface, he would not offend Prince Jin and Prince Rui, but he would not let Prince Jin and Prince Rui gain too many benefits either.
Now that Prince An has been assassinated, Princess July is frightened, and His Majesty is furious, this is a great opportunity!"
Hearing this, He Jinchun's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Master, do you mean to use Cao Peng to mess up the situation?"
Lin Tingxu smiled dotingly, held his wife and daughter's hands, and comforted them, "I'm here, I will definitely not let you get scared or at a loss, just rest assured."
Lin Luoling's eyes turned, and she told Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun what Prince An had suggested about her two shops.
Lin Tingxu thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Prince An is still so smart, and Prince Jin and Prince Rui can't compare to him."
He added: "Beijing Xuzhou is in chaos, and the Marquis of Yongning cannot let the housekeeper Zhou Quan go out to choose a shop. This matter will be put on hold for the time being. After Zhu Xianzhi comes two or three times, it would be best for Madam to choose the two shops that Prince An reminded her of.
Send two more trustworthy shopkeepers to teach Zhu Xianzhi how to sell grain. As for the accountant, he will naturally be the one we send. Marquis Yongning will not be able to gain any advantage. No matter how angry Prince Rui is, he is angry with Marquis Yongning. "
"Very wonderful!" He Jinchun praised.
Lin Luoling immediately understood what her father meant.
Lin asked Zhu Xianzhi to sell grain, but he used the shop that was idle and sold by Prince An. Moreover, one of the two shops was in the street market diagonally opposite the main gate of the residence of Cao Peng, the governor of Xuzhou in Beijing, and the other was in the street market at the back door of Cao Peng's residence.
In this way, the eldest prince, Prince Jin, would certainly be confused, not knowing whether Lin had defected to the second prince, Prince Rui, or Prince An. He would also probably think that the governor of Xuzhou, Cao Peng, was also involved.
As for the second prince, Prince Rui, as arrogant as he is, he will only think that Lin and Marquis Yongning are in love and will join his army soon.
Lin Tingxu said to his wife and daughter, "Since we can't leave the house, we won't think about these troubles. Ling'er, go and invite your two aunts to the Moon Viewing Pavilion. We will also invite the wife of Ningyuan Marquis and Young Master Jiang to have some fun."
Lin Luoling responded, walked out of the house, and with the help of Hualian, walked towards the courtyard of Lin Yuning and Lin Yuru.
The place where her two aunts lived was separated by only a wooden fence, and without the wooden fence, it formed a huge courtyard.
Hualian saw that her young lady had a very gloomy and cold expression on her face. She glanced at her secretly for several times, but she didn't know what her young lady was thinking, so she didn't dare to say anything.
Lin Luoling clenched her other hand into a fist. Just when she learned that Marquis Yongning was the second prince, King Rui's man, she finally understood one thing.
In the previous life, 308 people in the Lin family died tragically in a sea of fire, which must have been the work of the second prince, Prince Rui. The Yongning Marquis and his family were just vicious dogs raised by the second prince, Prince Rui, in Xuzhou, the capital.
The pain from the fingertips digging into the palm of his hand made Lin Luoling's hatred more intense.
