The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

After Jia Min came out of Jia Yuanchun's Qixiang Palace, it was getting late, so he hurried back to the queen's place, picked up Lin Daiyu, and then directly said goodbye and went back to the Lin residence.

On the day of entering the palace, the volume of what he saw and heard was really astonishing, and Jia Min, who had already seen a lot, couldn't bear it.

She wanted to discuss it with Lin Tian as soon as possible. After all, this matter could not be solved by her alone. Not only the Duke Rong's mansion but also the Lin family, as well as Prince Zhongshun and Lin Tian were involved. There might be another king with a different surname. Thinking about it, she felt a headache.

But the family member who went to Prince Zhongshun's mansion to report the letter came back and said that the prince and the concubine had something to go out, and the return date was uncertain, so Jia Min could only hold it in her heart for the time being. After all, except for Lin Tian, ​​she couldn't find anyone to discuss with now. Therefore, the people in the palace had to wait for Lin Tian to come back and tell her that they had to go back to Lin's house immediately, and then they would bury their heads and continue to work on Lin Tian's wedding.

Not two days later, following the emperor's imperial decree to set the wedding date, people from the House of Internal Affairs also went to the Lin family's gate immediately. After all, the House of Internal Affairs did not dare to neglect the important matter of Prince Zhongshun marrying his concubine. People may not be very clear about Situ Meng's position in the court and in the hearts of the empress, but they know it well as servants, and they dare not show any disrespect at all.

You know, before the emperor asked Situ Meng to take over the House of Internal Affairs, after that, those who colluded with kings of different surnames or other nobles in the House of Internal Affairs disappeared for no apparent reason, and they were the kind who never saw anyone alive or dead.

The weirdest thing is that no one has questioned the disappearance of these people, because as long as someone doubts, they will disappear silently like the previous people.Although there is no clear evidence that these things were done by Situ Meng, they must be inextricably linked with him.

They didn't dare to make any mistakes in the wedding ceremony of such a god-like boss, so everyone in the house of internal affairs got busy, and even all the other royal family members and even Everything in the palace was put back. Except for the manpower of the emperor, empress and empress dowager who were not requisitioned, all the things required by other concubines were mercilessly postponed.

All the betrothal gifts that need to be prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the prince, as well as part of the dowry for the princess, they have already prepared all the large items and various decorations, but, such as clothes, jewelry, silk, satin, fabrics, rouge, gouache, etc. must be new. The ones that should be in season can only be arranged quickly now.

Fortunately, it is already the end of the year, and it is the most concentrated time for all the imperial merchants and foreign countries to pay tribute. This also gives the Ministry of Internal Affairs a greater and better choice. In order to please Situ Meng and Lin Tian, ​​​​the Ministry of Internal Affairs is also working hard Thoughts, besides sending the expenses of the empress dowager and the empress first, she also listed all the other tributes in a long list and handed them over to the empress for her to choose. All the good things were quietly added.

In this way, the time for other people in the harem to receive clothes, jewelry, and even face cream and spices was postponed in turn. Although those high-ranking concubines did not live on these monthly profits at all, they were still in their hearts. Dissatisfied and angry, it's just that because of the emperor's infinite love for Situ Meng and Lin Tian, ​​as well as Lin Tian's tough style and domineering methods, he dared not speak out.

This depressive atmosphere was quietly brewing and fermenting in the harem, waiting for a breakthrough to erupt completely.

Neither Lin Tian nor Situ Meng knew that in their eyes, it was just a simple wedding ceremony. It was only because of the emphasis of the empress and the flattery of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that it caused such a serious problem that their wedding date was suppressed again. After a long time.

If Situ Meng knew that such a thing would happen, I am afraid that even the seemingly important weapon smuggling case would be thrown aside, and he would stay in the capital to prepare for the wedding. Know……

At Tongzhou Wharf, after Situ Meng and Lin Tian boarded the boat, they took out the channel map of the entire canal, and then asked Mo Zhigen to identify the specific place where the shipwreck was.

However, this Mo Zhigen took the waterway map and studied it carefully for a long time, but in the end he circled a big range, which made people completely confused.

"The ratio of the waterway map to the actual one is basically one hundred to one. Do you know how big the area you drew is?"

Lin Tian slapped the table and roared angrily: "You said that you scuttled the ship, you are not lying, right? Since you have stepped on the spot in advance and carefully studied where is the most suitable place, why do you point out now? You can’t find the specific location at all? Are you coaxing us to play?”

The more Lin Tian thought about it, the more questions he had in his heart, and the eyes he looked at Mo Rigen became sharper.Although Mo Zhigen didn't look like a scheming person, what happened this time was too weird.

His current state is exactly that kind of straightforward and bold Mongolian man who has one intestine to the end. The things he said about his tribe before should be true, but the latter things are indeed open to discussion.

Such a rigorous layout, precise planning, one ring after another, even the speed of those people's ships, the direction of the wind, and when the crew will be negligent, where there are loopholes to exploit, and even the preparation plan in case of accidents Everything is fully prepared, no matter how you look at it, it is definitely not something that the rough guy in front of him can formulate.

What's more, looking at Mo Zhigen's appearance, he is not very smart. He didn't even remember the specific location of the action. The person who made the plan for him must have spent a lot of thought on helping him calculate the time to do it. , and he did exactly what the man said. After getting on the boat, he lay in ambush at a hidden location on the bottom floor, and started digging the boat when the time came.

"No wonder I always feel that this matter is a little inconsistent. The fact that you were rescued by your sister-in-law should be completely beyond the expectations of the person who helped you design the plan. Therefore, without such a plan, you will be in a mess. For a while I don't know what to do, and even came up with the stupid trick of kidnapping my niece!"

Lin Tian sneered, looked at Mo Zhigen, and said, "Tell me! Who is this expert behind the scenes who guides you! I really want to see and see! If he is in line with our goals, he is If we want to completely eradicate this cancer of weapon sales, then there is no need to hide it now! Wouldn’t it be great for everyone to meet and talk about it!”

"This... this... no, I did it myself!" Mo Zhigen babbled for a long time, but continued to grit his teeth and denied it, unwilling to reveal the person behind him.

"It's fine if you don't want to say it, but I don't care what method you use to contact him, you must take us to the spot where the shipwreck is before dawn tomorrow! Otherwise, if those things are salvaged in advance, let us run for nothing Believe it or not, whether it's you or the shady guy behind you, I won't let anyone go!

Don't think that with you as a cover in front, he can hide tightly. There is no one in this world that I, Lin Tian, ​​can't find. Even if he hides underground, I can dig three feet to him. Cut it out! "Lin Tian said, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the eyes that looked at Mo Zhigen were even more cold.

"I, I..." Mo Zhigen fell into a dilemma for a moment, and fell silent completely.

Lin Tian blinked at Situ Meng, and then walked out. Situ Meng and Mo Zhigen were left in the cabin at the moment.

Situ Meng first poured a glass of water and handed it to Mo Zhigen, and then said: "Brother Mo Zhigen, my wife has a bad temper, please forgive me! Actually, we don't want to force you, but, We want to catch those smugglers who sell weapons and have the same, same heart as you!

You see, I believe everything you said before!It's just that now we are racing against those bad guys. Whoever finds the sunken ship first and salvages those weapons will have the initiative!If they had taken all those weapons away in advance, not only would we not have the right to detain those people on board, but we would have to respectfully release them all, and we might even come to apologize!

After all, quite a few of those people came from noble families, even if I, a prince, have no solid evidence, there is nothing we can do about them!And when the time comes, you will turn from a hero who catches smuggled weapons to a prisoner who murders nobles!

Do you think they can let you go after they go out?Will they not be able to find out the person who is planning behind your back, can't they find out?You can save his life by speaking up now!otherwise……"

Having said this, Situ Meng suddenly closed his mouth, just patted Mo Zhigen's shoulder lightly, and said, "Brother, think about it carefully! Time waits for no one!"

After Situ Meng finished speaking, he also went out, letting Mo Zhigen think for himself.

On the deck, even though it was completely dark at the moment, the moonlight was good tonight, shining a little silver light on the river surface, which was really beautiful. On Lin Tian, ​​she saw that her face was stern at this time, her hands were lightly placed on the side of the boat, and her eyes looking into the distance were not focused, which made Situ Meng suddenly feel like she was about to become a flying fairy. illusion.

So Situ Meng rushed over in three steps and two steps, and hugged Lin Tian tightly from behind.

"Well? How's the situation? Did he say it?" Lin Tian turned around and asked.

Situ Meng looked at Lin Tian's dark and bright eyes, and was so lost for a moment. At this moment, he didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to hug the beauty in his arms quietly, and make sure that she belonged to him of.
