I heard you have nine tails

Yao Xinjun's words were expected, and Li Lin didn't express anything, but slowly scanned Yao Xinjun's face inch by inch, and suddenly smiled with a little sarcasm. "Yao Gong thinks, what can I help Gu?"

"Although Your Highness wants to find out about the Yao family, he always pays attention to the integrity of everything. Even if you identify the Yao family, you may not be able to produce evidence, right?"

Li Lin didn't respond, and Yao Xinjun continued on his own: "Officials protect each other, and so do businessmen. The prefect of Huaiyang will never dare to touch the Yao family. My eldest brother is in the court, and there are three highnesses and concubine Hui, presumably the crown prince." Your Highness must also take their reactions into consideration. From this point of view, the Huaiyang party is really tricky."

"Shut up." Li Lin finally said, "Since you are so familiar with court affairs, you must be aware of the crime of humiliating concubines and princes."

"Your Highness is here, so there is no need to hide it. Your Highness the Crown Prince must be very pleased when the Third Highness enters the cabinet and enters the official department?"

Tan Chang's ears popped out.He nestled in Li Lin's clothes, and could hear everything clearly.If he hadn't known the relationship between Yao Xinjun, Concubine Hui and Shilang Yao, he really couldn't have imagined that they were biological brothers and sisters.The more he came into contact with humans, the more Tan Chang realized that he didn't understand humans.

He was thinking wildly, when he felt a clear voice coming from behind, Li Lin's steady heartbeat, and the sound from his chest made Tan Chang feel stable.He retracted into the cloak again, wrapped himself warmly, and listened to Li Lin's words.

"Smart people don't speak dark words, what can you come up with?"

"Account book. My two elder brothers have exactly the same temper. They can't trust others, so we must keep some clues in our hands. All businessmen in Huaiyang, big and small, have a clear account in the account book." Speaking of Yao Xinsi A look of unwillingness flashed across Yao Xinjun's face.Li Lin remained calm and could see clearly.Yao Xinjun's dissatisfaction with his two brothers did not happen in a day or two.It was this unwillingness that gave Li Lin an opportunity to take advantage of.

There was a moment of silence in the house.Yao Xinjun also realized his gaffe just now.However, he was not in a hurry to speak, but waited for Li Lin to weigh it.Tan Chang didn't know what happened, and anxiously rubbed his head and tail against Li Lin's chest, until Li Lin patted his butt through his clothes before calming down.

"Gu can't make you Yao Xinsi."

Li Lin also began to clarify the bottom line step by step.

Tan Chang gripped Li Lin's shirt tightly with his front palm, for fear of missing something.He couldn't show his head to see the scene outside, he could only judge the situation based on his voice and Li Lin's breathing and heart rate.Even though he was so nervous, he also took care to put away his claws, for fear of hurting Li Lin.

"The only one Gu Neng promises to you is the Yao family."

It was the Yao family, not Huaiyang.Li Lin neither intends to support another Yao Xinsi, nor does he intend to commit all of Huaiyang to Yao Xinjun.Whatever he wants, he can only rely on his own ability.Tan Chang listened to it, thoughtful.

"In addition, you must be the first to respond to Gu's proposal."

Li Lin stopped talking, and just put a piece of paper full of words in front of Yao Xinjun.Yao Xinjun looked at it suspiciously for a while, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Your Highness, it's too much."

Tan Chang waited for a long time, only waiting for this sentence.As soon as he heard that this person dared to threaten his master, he immediately crawled out to settle accounts with this person.

Li Lin only felt that the clothes were moving, but before he realized anything, he saw a small red head protruding from the collar, screaming and screaming.

Both Li Lin himself and Yao Xinjun and Yao Zhiyuan were taken aback.Yao Zhiyuan's eyes lit up in an instant, but soon, the light went out again.

After Tan Chang yelled at the other party, he climbed on Li Lin's shoulder in a rather imposing manner, staring at the father and son.

Li Lin was quite helpless, and reached out to pat the little fox on the head. "Tan Chang, you're disobedient again." Although he said so, he didn't intend to scold him, but let him lie on his shoulder.

"..."

On the one hand, Yao Xinjun was surprised by the prince's love for the little fox from the bottom of his heart, on the other hand, he faintly doubted his elder brother Yao Xinhong's judgment.

Your Majesty, do you really dislike this prince?

If you really don't like it, why did you give the prince the nine-tailed fox that the national teacher personally determined, instead of the third highness, or even raise it yourself?

Yao Xinjun put away his contemptuous expression and erased the last bit of hesitation. "Caomin is willing to be driven by His Highness. I also hope that Your Highness will keep your promise."

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, a little surprised at the other party's straightforwardness.Of course, this is not a bad thing. "One promise, one promise, one thousand gold."

After he finished speaking, he put the piece of paper in his arms. "It's not suitable to stay alone for a long time, you two should go back earlier, after all..." After all, Yao Xinsi was staring at them.

Li Lin tested Yao Zhiyuan before.Yao Zhiyuan didn't know about the sent catkins, so the people behind the catkins were not Yao Xinjun and his son, so it was obvious that they were sent by Yao Xinsi.Lin deliberately mentioned in front of Xiang Ning that he would return home soon. After the news got out, it was estimated that the other party had relaxed his vigilance.The purpose of mentioning Yao Zhiyuan is also to remind the father and son that Yao Xinsi has the track of the father and son and force Yao Xinjun to make an early decision.

Yao Xinjun could hear Li Lin's implication, but he could only swallow his anger and say, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your reminder."

Li Lin turned around and went out.

"Migui, quickly send His Highness out."

The carriage thrown by them in the market had already arrived in the yard at some point.

Tan Chang leaned on Li Lin's shoulder and looked at Yao Zhiyuan. Yao Zhiyuan pursed his lips indifferently, and only when he glanced at Tan Chang occasionally did he feel a little warmth.

Through the spell, Tan Chang could clearly see the anger and hurt in this person's heart.Is it... because of Li Lin?

Unwillingness, anger, suspicion, all kinds of emotions are intertwined, making it difficult to read.

Walking to the side of the carriage, Li Lin stopped. "I'll take this as a gift and give it to Lord Yao." Li Lin motioned for Jueming to come forward, and Jueming's hand pushed the tightly bound catkin with an expression of disbelief and horror. "He can do whatever he wants."

Yao Zhiyuan finally hooked his lips mockingly. "Thank you Your Highness."

Li Lin sighed.He said, "Migui, I'm sorry."

Yao Zhiyuan didn't respond, Li Lin boarded the carriage.The carriage started slowly.Tan Chang turned into a human form, moved closer to Li Lin, and sank into the soft cushion. "Yao Zhiyuan hates you."

Tan Chang's soft and waxy voice, when speaking of such a fierce word "hate", is especially against harmony.

"I know because he thinks I'm using him, that I'm betraying him."

"Then why didn't you explain it?" Tan Chang asked.

"Because I did use him." When Li Lin said this, all hesitation and guilt disappeared. "Even if I explain it, if that point of sincerity is mixed in with the use, it becomes nothing."

Li Lin's voice softened a little. "This was originally a helpless thing."

Tan Chang nodded half-understood, and asked again: "Since he hates you, his father must also hate you for taking advantage of him. Why does he think your request is too much and still agree to you?"

The road was bumpy, Tan Chang's body swayed back and forth with the carriage, and his black hair poured all over Li Lin's shoulders, arms, and fingers.

Green silk and white hair, beauty is fleeting.

The black hair was like water, leaking from the fingertips.

Li Lin's heart moved slightly, and he had an intuitive feeling for the word time.The little junior in my memory has turned into a different kind of boy.

Although Yao Zhiyuan told Yao Zhiyuan to take only one scoop out of three thousand weak waters, for Li Lin, a better choice is not to touch one scoop, not even to taste it.

In the 20 years of His Royal Highness's life, the number of times when his emotions were fragile and out of control is very rare. For him, too many emotional reminiscences are very unnecessary.He was never the type to lament the passing of time.

Or, he once thought so.

"Come on, don't move around." Li Lin pulled Tan Chang to his side, clasped Tan Chang's waist with his left hand, and fixed him by his side.

Tan Chang is really thin.Li Lin thought in a daze, all the chicken he ate was wasted.In such a trance, the explanation was delayed again, until the other party shook his arm impatiently, and Li Lin came back to his senses. "Because he has no choice. With Yao Xinsi around, he can only act as an errand shopkeeper. If he is willing to do so, that's fine, but he is obviously unwilling, otherwise he would not send Yao Zhiyuan to the capital."

Unfortunately, seeing Yao Zhiyuan's performance in the capital, one can know Yao Xinhong's attitude towards this nephew.

The carriage drove to the restaurant, and Tan Chang quickly turned into a prototype and jumped on Li Lin's shoulder.The arms suddenly became empty, and a trace of reluctance flashed in Li Lin's heart suddenly.

However, just like before, this emotion was attributed by him to random thinking, and it quickly disappeared into nothingness.

Everything that followed was a matter of course.On the second day, as soon as the people from the Ministry of Industry entered the city, they rushed to the restaurant to meet Li Lin.Ever since he heard that His Royal Highness was going to Huaiyang, Yao Xinsi had an ominous premonition, so when he heard his son mention that his ineffective nephew came back with friends, he acquiesced in his son's actions.But when he heard that the people from the Ministry of Industry went to the city, Yao Xinsi's temples still throbbed and hurt.

The people from the Ministry of Industry were able to go south due to Li Lin's kindness, and they reached a consensus along the way. No matter what, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must make a contribution and go back.

It's just that they didn't expect Li Lin to be so efficient. As soon as he arrived, Tan Mo's account book was already in front of them.

"This is the evidence that the Yao family and the twelve merchants in Huaiyang have been corrupt for money and silver. I only want to arrest them as soon as possible and report them to my father. What do you think?"

After looking at each other, the minister of the Ministry of Industry took the lead in saluting, "I obey the order!"

With the evidence, what are you afraid of?The people in the Ministry of Industry were very dissatisfied with the mess that the Yao family had exposed.

Li Lin said again: "Yao Xinjun, the third member of Yao's family, has made great achievements in the prosecution. The Yao family's property is embezzled, fined and confiscated, and the rest should be inherited by him."

Now, some people hesitated. "Yao Shilang is still here..."

"Yao Shilang hasn't cleared his name yet." Li Lin sneered, "Yao Xinjun reported him for leaking information, do you want to see it?"

None of the Ministry of Industry officials dared to make a sound.

After Li Lin explained, he left the rest of the work to them, and he didn't even see the prefect of Huaiyang, so he stayed behind closed doors and concentrated on writing the scripture.

He still has a lot to do.
