eat meat every day

The city lord was stunned for a moment, then his pupils shrank violently, and his indifferent face could no longer be maintained.

He stood up, stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice, "Give it to me!"

Fang Jing handed it over carefully, the city lord grabbed the edge of the paper, and quickly glanced at it. The letter was not long, but he read it for a long time, closing his eyes several times during the process.After reading it, he spread the paper on the table, and pressed the corners that were crumpled by him with force. His face turned pale, and it seemed that blood had flowed into his eyes.

After a while, he rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a hoarse voice: "I lost my composure and made everyone laugh. This is a non-existent thing, and thanks to their shamelessness, they can fabricate it. I have the account details clearly and clearly, at worst I call the Ministry of Punishment to come and check, not to mention, I won't ask them to check."

Fang Jing personally fetched the teapot, and added tea to the city lord's cup: "Just now I asked about Yan's house, but there was no movement."

The city lord whispered: "Keep an eye on it."

Fang Jing nodded.

He turned around and saw Zou Yi sitting on the chair, his eyes staring blankly at the wood carving pattern beside the table. He didn't want to disturb him, so he quietly walked over to pour tea, but still disturbed Zou Yi, he raised his head and said suddenly : "Master Fang, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is also named Yan, what is the relationship with Master Yan who was arrested for recruiting prostitutes?"

Fang Jing said: "Yan Xuan's uncle, although Yan Xuan's father, Yan Zheng, only served as a doctor in the Ministry of War, but his uncle is a second-rank minister, but he doesn't love Yan Xuan very much, and he doesn't like his temper."

Zou Yi nodded and stopped talking, but Qing Yu said: "It's Yin Shi quarter now, and it will be dawn in one and a half hours. Why is there no action from the Ministry of War for such a big event?"

Fang Jing said: "Since it is such an important matter, they must not dare to act rashly. If they rashly surrounded the city lord's mansion but failed to produce strong evidence, it would be a serious crime of beheading! The military department must be calm at this critical moment... ..."

As if he suddenly realized something, he was stunned suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly: "This is a great thing from heaven, once we destroy the evidence, they will get nothing, and they will not be able to completely bring us down! Ministry of War I will definitely not miss this opportunity. If I were them... If I were them, they should cut through the mess quickly, and send troops to surround the city lord's mansion overnight when the Ministry of Finance can't react in time, and find evidence of collaborating with the enemy! They will never wait until dawn !unless--"

"Unless they have no evidence of my collaboration with the enemy."

The city lord had already sat down, with a peaceful expression on his face, and took a sip of tea lightly.

Three forces, three couriers, three different letterheads, now it seems that the first courier is the Ministry of household; Report back and let the Ministry of War take action; the third is the nail of the internal thief.

But...the inside thief still doesn't understand what kind of person Lin Shang is.

In the past few decades, whether he has used unscrupulous means or done good deeds, the nature of the grass in his heart has not changed.

The Ministry of Households promised him an official position, but he knew it was a verbal promise, and the Ministry of Households was tightly grouped. He was the only civilian among a bunch of officials. A person who is extremely proficient in the market has opened up a new world for them, so he fell to the Ministry of War.

However, although he fell to the Ministry of War, he had some reservations, as if the soldiers fell into disarray—although it seems unlikely in the current situation, in case the Ministry of War fails, he can take out this letter to save his life, regardless of whether the letter is true or not, Just relying on the letter of the Wang family is enough.

Looking at it this way, his letter to the Ministry of War should be a nonsensical nonsense. The city lord straightened out the folds of his wide sleeves, and whispered to Fang Jing, "Prepare the car for me, and I will go to the Lin Mansion at dawn."

Fang Jing raised his eyes for a glance, bowed and backed away.

The city lord got up and went to change his clothes. Before leaving, he bowed to Zou Yi and Qing Yu, saying: "You two are so kind, I will never forget it."

Zou Yi also stood up and returned the salute, but Qing Yu stuck her butt to the chair, and only focused on eating the pastry in a muffled voice.

The city lord apologized to them and left, and soon someone led them to rest in the side room. Zou Yi took a few steps forward, and suddenly felt something was wrong. When she turned around, she saw Qing Yu drooping her head. Flying to the sky lightly like a fairy, only the heavy body is still staggering.

It is rare for Zou Yi to see Qing Yu's appearance like this, that appearance is neither the usual playful smile nor the sinister aura that occasionally appears between the brows, but a kind of stupidity that is close to tiger's head and tiger's head.

This has only appeared on Dongshan before, but Qingyu has never had it. Seeing such a strange appearance, Zou Yi's first reaction was disbelief, and she wanted to pull his face. She stretched her hand halfway before realizing it, and abruptly changed the direction. , patted him on the shoulder.

However, at this time Qingyu Shensi had already pulled back, grabbed his hand with a half-smile, lowered her head slightly, her eyelashes were thick and shimmering with oil: "What did you want to do just now?"

Zou Yi was not ashamed when he was caught, but looked at him loudly: "Don't you know what I want to do?"

Qing Yu only pursed her lips and smiled, without saying a word, she cast her eyes on the pitch-black night sky, glanced at it for a few moments, then removed her smiling face and said, "I always feel that something is wrong, since the inner thief has the audacity to say that the city lord is collaborating with the enemy, It won't be just this letter, there will definitely be a trick, and this trick is unexpected, and I am always very disturbed."

Zou Yi laughed and said, "Are you actually uneasy?"

Qing Yu rolled his skillful eyes: "If it wasn't for that idiot Dongshan still in prison, who would care about these sesame mung bean messes."

Zou Yi lowered her eyes when she heard this, and smiled faintly. When she lowered her eyes, she saw that Qing Yu's sleeves were turned up somewhere, so she naturally reached out to smooth him out: "Since you care about him so much, stop scolding him in the future. That time in Taoyuan Village, you were so fierce that he was very sad."

Qing Yu sneered and said: "He is rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so you don't have to think about him."

However, after the sneer, he immediately turned his face away, hugged Zou Yi's shoulders in an unscrupulous manner, and leaned over stickyly: "Okay, okay, let's go to the guest room quickly, I want to... sleep with you. "

Zou Yi stamped his feet, and unceremoniously poked his unsuspecting ribs with his elbow.

"roll."

Lin House.

It can be said that Lin Shang stayed up all night and only took a nap in the early morning.As soon as he got this letter, he was shocked at first, and then he felt that it was fake, because the city lord really had no reason and the evidence in the letter was ambiguous and not very conclusive.

But he also understands that at this point, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households are fighting like this, and these ambiguous evidences are enough for the Ministry of War to encircle and suppress the city lord's mansion. By then, the deal will be done, and the real reason will not matter after the hype is revised in the newspaper.

But although his heart is towards the Ministry of War, he still has some concerns.

This is not a discovery of his conscience, but a kind of intuition, the intuition that came from fighting in the shopping mall, or maybe he couldn't help being frightened when he was old. He wanted to see Wen Tun's change of dynasty, warm water to boil frogs, not such a violent wind A torrential crime.

After weighing it over and over again, Lin Shang still wrote a letter with his own hand, writing about the emergency letter sent by the Wang family, and ordered it to be sent to the Yan Mansion, but he hid the letter of communication with the enemy.

It's a pity that although he was careful in everything, he forgot to be careful of the person in front of him.

Lin Shang only felt that he had just fallen asleep, and the housekeeper rushed to report, saying: "My lord, something is wrong, the city lord is here!"

Lin Shang rubbed his dull aching temple, and responded in a low voice: "I see, you go and entertain him first, be considerate and don't neglect, I'll be right back."

He was not surprised that the city lord came over. He had clearly shaken the flagpole yesterday and fell to the side of the military department. It would be a matter of time before the household department came to ask the crime, but it was too early...

Lin Shang pinched the center of his eyebrows, smoothed the creases between his eyebrows, carefully untied the silk bag that bound his beard, and sat down with some saliva to smooth his beard, making sure that each strand was intact , I was still a handsome bearded man, so I got up to wash up.

After he arrived at the main hall, it was already half an hour later, even though he broke his face with the city lord, he was still very considerate in etiquette, and saluted respectfully: "The lord of the city has come to the humble house. I hope there will be a large number of adults."

The city lord hastily dragged his kneeling body: "What is Uncle Lin going to do, don't make such a big gift, you are really a shameful little nephew!"

Although they are not related, according to their seniority, it is not wrong to call that old thief uncle.

Lin Shang stood up on the Lord's arm and hurriedly called the Lord to sit down. The Lord sat down and said: "Uncle Lin has always cared for his nephew at most, but since he took office, he has been troubled by troubles and trifles. Lin Bo won't mind if I have time to see Lin Bo?"

Lin Shang hurriedly said with a smile: "How come, the city lord has great things in the world in mind, and an old man like this old man is very happy to be cared by the city lord."

After chatting for a few more words, the forest merchant hadn't eaten, so he asked the city owner to go to the flower hall to have breakfast. It can be said that old and dead do not communicate with each other, but the gap that has been separated for more than ten years is now filled with colorful flowers.

The city lord sat in the forest house enjoying breakfast, smiled and praised the cook of the Lin family, and said that he would bring his own cook to learn from the teacher. Lin Shang agreed on his face, but his heart kept beating.It's just because his good nephew started gossiping since he came here, and he didn't say anything about the officialdom of the court. His half-covered inquiries before were all blocked by the city lord with a smile.

While thinking this way, he picked up the small spoon and took a sip of the hot sea cucumber soup. He pressed his beard with one hand, and carefully brought the spoon to his lips with the other. Just as he was about to swallow it, he saw a servant running in howling. :"master!"

He was so frightened that he sprinkled the soup on his precious beard, Lin Shang let out a low cry, and the people around him were busy cleaning his beard, some took water and some cloth, he looked at his beard distressedly, He raised his head viciously again and said, "You're in a panic, how decent it is!"

The servant trembled and said, "My lord, something is wrong with my lord! The front yard is on fire!"

Lin Shang was taken aback, and subconsciously turned his gaze to the city lord, but the city lord said to him with great concern: "Lin Bo must be very careful, in order to prevent the spread of the fire, let's evacuate from here first."

He glanced at him, ordered someone to lead the castellan to avoid the fire, and was about to go out, but the castellan grabbed his arm, and he heard the castellan speak in a normal tone: "Uncle Lin, it's useless to rush over, besides, you are old High, you have to be careful." After speaking, the city lord slid a glance at the servants, "Take me and your master away."

The servant didn't know why, although the city lord was kind, but the high-ranking person must have a murderous look in his eyes after a long time. Because of the deterrence, the servant honestly led them to another courtyard.

Lin Shang was drinking tea in another courtyard, and when he heard the unstoppable spread of the fire and wiped out his study, he gritted his old teeth.However, the city lord comforted him sincerely: "It's good that people are fine."

This is revenge!

This is a demonstration!

This is sarcasm!

This is revenge for his ignorant fall to the party of the Ministry of War, this is a demonstration to him and a warning to him that even if the Ministry of Finance is in such a predicament, he can kill him at any time, this is a mockery that his calculation of both ends has finally come to nothing!

Because he has always been cautious, he is used to deceiving and betraying people, and he feels that he will be overthrown by the people below at any time, so his confidantes don't know where his confidential documents are, they only know that they are in the study. The file was brought out, and there was still a glimmer of hope—but——

but!

He can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood, but at least this person is still the lord of the city. He is a grassroots citizen, and the military department can't do anything to him, so what can he do?

Lin Shang forcefully forced a smile and replied: "That's right, you will come back after all your money is gone. As long as people are fine, those who should come back will always come back."

The city lord smiled and said, "I just admire Lin Bo's open-minded temperament. My nephew has to learn more from Lin Bo."

Lin Shangben stroked his beard with one hand, and grabbed a few of them abruptly.

The city lord didn't intend to push him too hard, after all, rabbits can bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention that the old thief is so cunning, so he changed the topic to another place, seeing that he was not thinking about it, he left in a hurry .
