royal husband

Ying Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Ah Jin, Lan Mingzhou is from the Lan family, and the Lan family is the natal family of Concubine Jin, the biological mother of Ying Zijun. As a child of the Lan family, it is impossible for him to switch to us."

I don't know why, but when Li Jin suddenly mentioned Lan Mingzhou, Ying Yuan felt stuffy in his heart, a feeling of being robbed of his important things, which spread uncontrollably.

"What if he changes from a descendant of the Lan family to a dispensable concubine?"

Li Jin didn't answer the question instead.

"From a concubine to a concubine?"

Yingyuan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Yeah." Li Jin nodded, and continued, "Lan Mingzhou was not born to the head of the Lan family, but the son of an aunt in the Lan family. Although the aunt's status is low, she is also a decisive person. Knowing that under the calculations of the mistress of the Lan family, it is impossible to keep her own child, and that meeting coincides with the fact that the mistress of the Lan family also gave birth on the same day as the aunt, so the aunt kept planning to change the child. drama."

Li Jin didn't continue talking about what happened next, Ying Yuan also guessed it.

Lan Mingzhou, who was supposed to be a concubine, has become a concubine, which proves that the aunt has succeeded.

Furthermore.

Except for the concubine's daughter, the Lan family has not heard of a concubine's son so far, which means that the child who was supposed to be a concubine may have been killed by the mistress of the Lan family.

Concubine... Concubine... Zhuzhou County Magistrate...

These words kept appearing in Yingyuan's mind, and they were slowly connected together. After a while, Yingyuan suddenly realized, "Ajin, Lan Mingzhou was transferred to Zhuzhou as the county magistrate, and no one from the Lan family pleaded for mercy." , have you discovered that Lan Mingzhou is not a descendant?"

"Yes."

Li Jin nodded yes.

It was a storm that shocked the entire Lan Mansion. When the mistress of the Lan family learned that the person she had killed was her own son, she cried bitterly on the spot, and even threatened to kill Lan Mingzhou for her. The son takes revenge.

But it's a pity...

Lan Mingzhou is already an official, no matter how much the mistress of the Lan family hates Lan Mingzhou, she can't kill Lan Mingzhou, otherwise she will bear the serious crime of killing the court official.

Therefore, when the head of the Lan family who was equally angry learned that Ying Zijun also hated Lan Mingzhou, he directly interfered with Lan Mingzhou's transfer and transferred him away from the capital. Lan Mingzhou came to Zhuzhou to be the county magistrate.

of course.

Lan Mingzhou still has the identity of a descendant.

Otherwise, if Lan Mingzhou's original concubine was exposed, wouldn't it be the same as telling others that the mistress of the Lan family killed her own son?At some point, what will people in the capital think of her?What do you think of her son?And if this matter is heard by the emperor, what will he think of the Lan family?

In other words.

Entangled with many interests, in order to preserve her own glory and wealth, as well as the future of her children, the mistress of the Lan family agreed to the decision of the head of the Lan family and concealed the matter of the child who was supposed to be a direct child down.

"..."

Ying Yuan was silent, not knowing what to say for a while.

Li Jin smiled lightly, stretched out his hand to Yingyuan, and said, "Ah Yuan, it's almost time, let's go, I think they are already waiting for us outside."

"it is good."

Ying Yuan put his hand on Li Jin's and went to the entrance of Liujia Village together with him.

"Third Young Master, Seventh Young Master, this way, we are here." Seeing Li Jin and Ying Yuan coming out of the Liu Family Village, Ping An hurriedly waved and shouted at them.

at the same time.

Standing beside Liurong's family, Dashu, and Lizheng of Liujia Village.

Li Jin and Ying Yuan walked up to Ping An and asked, "Ping An, are you ready?"

"Yes." Pingan nodded quickly, "Young master, get in the carriage, and we can set off for Zhuzhou City immediately."

After getting a safe answer, Li Jin turned around and looked forward to see Dongzi and the others off, and cupped his hands with a smile, "There is always a banquet in the world, so let's say goodbye here."

Dongzi said reluctantly, "Brother Jin, will you come to Liujia Village to see us in the future?"

"Yes." Li Jin nodded, and gave Dongzi a letter he had prepared a long time ago, "We just went to Zhuzhou City, if you want to meet us in the future, you can take this letter to Zhuzhou Yamen, just say you want to see Li Jin."

Dongzi carefully accepted the letter from Li Jin, "Yes."

Liu Rong handed the wrapped sweet potato to Li Jin.

"This is the sweet potato I cooked just now, take it with you and eat it on the road."

"Thank you."

Li Jin knew that it was Liu Rong's intention, so he took it without saying a word.

Dashu looked at Li Jin, patted himself on the chest and said, "Brother Jin, don't worry, Dongzi and I will come back to find you when we are free, and then you should treat us to a good meal."

"Oh? Then what about what you told me earlier?" Li Jin looked at Dashu meaningfully.

"Uh...not yet...not the time yet."

Dashu scratched his hair in embarrassment, and then subconsciously glanced at Dongzi.

"is it?"

Li Jin raised his eyebrows, and didn't continue to ask further questions. He only looked at the big tree meaningfully before getting into the carriage. At the same time, Ying Yuan followed closely behind.

"Dashu, this kind of thing can't be delayed for too long, don't miss it in vain." Pingan stepped out of the carriage suddenly, patted Dashu on the shoulder, and signaled him to hurry up, and don't regret it later.

Dashu blushed at Ping An's words, "I won't."

"Well, we'll wait for your good news."

Ping An smiled at the tree, and got into the carriage again.

Li Zheng solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Li, Liu Laicai is entrusted to you. Please tell the new county magistrate what Liu Laicai has committed."

"Rizheng, don't worry, I will do what I say."

Not a moment.

The carriage that Li Jin and the others were riding in was gradually moving away under Zhou Yunting's driving.

on the carriage.

Li Jin opened the cloth bag, and the first thing that caught his eye were five good-looking sweet potatoes. From the size of these five sweet potatoes, and the smooth surface without bumps, it can be seen how carefully Liu Rong chose them.

"Come on, everyone, eat while it's hot.

After Li Jin finished speaking, he randomly picked up a sweet potato and put the cloth bag in the middle.

"Thanks, Jin."

Ying Yuan picked up a sweet potato and took a bite.

Ping An and the others were not polite either, and after thanking Li Jin at the same time, they each picked up a sweet potato and ate it.

"Um..."

Liu Laicai, who was tied up with five flowers, smelled the scent of sweet potatoes, and his eyes were worth it.

But now he is not only tightly bound, but also blocked with a cloth ball, so he can only utter a murmur.

Pingan ignored Liu Laicai and said, "My lord, this sweet potato tastes really good."

"I also agree with you." Shi Weixu nodded in agreement, "It's a pity that we can only grow sweet potatoes in the two small villages of Liuwang. If we can expand the place to grow sweet potatoes to the entire Zhuzhou, why don't the people in Zhuzhou not have enough food and clothing? .”

From Shi Weixu's point of view, it's useless to grow sweet potatoes in a place as big as Zhuzhou with just two villages.

Li Jin shook his head pointingly and said, "Doctor Shi, this is not impossible, but after all, this sweet potato is a new food, even if it can be promoted in Zhuzhou, there will not be too many people planting it at first."

Shi Weixu didn't dare to answer, "Li Shizi, what do you mean..."

Suddenly.

A voice from not far away interrupted their words.

"Let me go, I am Chen Manzhou, the county magistrate of Zhuzhou. You are harming the imperial court official, and it is a capital crime. You and your son or something will definitely die an ugly death." Chen Manzhou glared furiously at Li Jin who sent him to guard him people.

At this moment, Chen Manzhou only wanted to leave here, and he couldn't remember how long he had been here.

"The son has an order, you must not leave here for half a step."

Guarding Chen Manzhou's guards, they simply ignored Chen Manzhou's shouts.

After Li Jin arrested Chen Manzhou and the people who committed crimes with Chen Manzhou, he asked Zhou Yunting to bring them all here to be detained together, so as to save them from having any troubles.

Ying Yuan pointed at Chen Manzhou, puzzled and said, "Why don't you gag him?"

The guard cupped his hands and said, "Back to the Seventh Prince, we did use a cloth ball to cover this man's mouth before, but he had the ability to swallow the cloth ball, and almost had an accident, so I had no choice but to give up using the cloth ball to cover his mouth." Q."

Speaking of Chen Manzhou, the guards were furious, because Chen Manzhou was so capable of tossing around that he could even swallow a gag cloth ball.

But the words Li Jin and the others have heard now are pretty good. A while ago, Chen Manzhou did everything he could to escape. Cursing was commonplace, and there was also singing at midnight every night, which made the guards very troubled. .

The guards also wanted to stab Chen Manzhou directly. After knowing him, Li Jin said that he wanted to save his life, so the guards let Chen Manzhou do it.

"Press him down first." Li Jin signaled the guards to take Liu Laicai down, and then asked one of the guards to bring him a cloth ball, and personally gagged Chen Manzhou's mouth.

Chen Manzhou recognized Li Jin at a glance, and when he saw the cloth ball at the entrance, he wanted to swallow the cloth ball again like last time.

Noticing Chen Manzhou's strange guard, he immediately said, "My lord, he..."

"It's nothing." Li Jin shook his head and said coldly, "Since he likes cloth balls so much, let him swallow them."

"Yes, son."

Originally, it was Li Jin who made the guards keep Chen Manzhou alive, so if Li Jin said that now, the guards would naturally have no objection.

"Um...uh..." I don't want to die, please help me.

Chen Manzhou fully thought that when Li Jin saw him like this, he would immediately ask the guards to stop him, so that he could take the opportunity to raise conditions with Li Jin. Unexpectedly, Li Jin was so stubborn that he wanted to watch him die.

"Think one is too little? Okay, I'll ask someone to put another cloth ball for you."

Li Jin deliberately misunderstood what he meant, and asked the guards on the side to put cloth balls in his mouth again.

Chen Manzhou's face turned pale immediately, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

It's too late, it's too soon.

Seeing the cloth ball getting closer, Chen Manzhou rolled his eyes in fright and passed out.

"My lord, this..."

Li Jin waved his hand and signaled the guards to stop, "Take out the cloth ball in his mouth first, and then put another cloth ball in. If he is using the same trick, you can deal with him as I did just now."

"Yes."
