Not to mention that Wang Xifeng got Lin Daiyu's clever plan, and went back to Jia's house to discuss Yingchun's marriage.

Lin Jinyu went to work in the Hanlin Academy but encountered a strange thing. He had just listened to the instructions of the head of the academy to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism with everyone in the morning, and in the afternoon he received the imperial decree: order to serve as a fourth-rank bachelor.Everyone looked at him with...strange eyes.

A bachelor's degree attendant has always come from Hanlin, from the fourth grade, the immediate boss is a bachelor in charge of the academy.The official is not big, but it is very noble to accompany and serve the emperor.You are a young prospect, where did you get such an opportunity?Whose way have you gone to curry favor with the emperor?Not to mention the editorial review by the gang of the Imperial Academy, even Xu Shuo, the head of the academy and the assistant of the cabinet, looked at him with a somewhat wrong expression.

The eunuch who passed the decree said with a smile, "Scholar Lin, Long live is waiting in the imperial study, please."

Lin Jinyu raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and looked blankly at the colleagues around him who hadn't had time to be familiar with them. The expressions on the faces of the colleagues were indescribably strange, Lin Jinyu hurriedly followed the eunuch who passed the decree.

Walking on the stone road in the palace, Lin Jinyu asked with a smile, "I don't know what your name is?"

"My name is Cui."

Lin Jinyu took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it into Eunuch Cui's hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you, sir."

Eunuch Cui did not expect Lin Jinyu to be so winking at such a young age, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Master Lin, for your reward. Master Lin, Long Live Lord is not in a good mood. You have to be careful when you go to serve him." He gave Lin Jinyu a few pointers.

"Thank you for your advice, my lord."

I went to the emperor's inner study, and there was a lot of murder. Outside, a person was being pressed on a stool, and two young eunuchs waved a board made of golden nanmu, crackling and crackling.This man was dressed in a lavender first-grade official uniform, and he couldn't see his face when lying on his stomach. However, in the feudal society, the imperial power was supreme, and he had to take off his pants to beat the board. Lin Jinyu just glanced at it, and couldn't bear to look at it again. .It made the slender and pitiful neck as clear as jade even more.When he got closer, a faint fragrance lingered in his nostrils, and Lin Jinyu immediately knew the identity of the beaten person.Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Wu You.He took the opportunity to hug Wu You when he was making a big fuss in the Ministry of Industry. Wu You has this kind of fragrance on him, and he has never forgotten it until now.

Lin Jinyu's heart trembled, Yipin Shangshu was pushed outside to beat the board, it seems that Tu Jingchen's mood is not ordinary.

The board stopped, and the prison eunuch and eunuch who delivered the edict went in to reply the edict.

After a while, the two of Xuan went in to see you.

Wu You was still able to stand up reluctantly, with a few teeth marks on his lips, cold sweat dripping down his face, coupled with his fairy-like facial features, it made people feel unbearable.Wu You tidied up his clothes, Lin Jinyu went to take a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on Wu You's face, but was slapped on the back of his hand, Wu You glared at him, this kid is stupid, he wanted to wipe away the evidence after being knocked down, and called The emperor saw that he was able to use his internal strength to resist the punishment.

Lin Jinyu sneered, and went in with Wu You to meet him.

Tu Jingchen was sitting behind the dragon case, and Tu Wenfei was sitting on the brocade stool with his head bowed.Wu Youlin Jinyu saluted, and Tu Jingchen said coldly, "Get up, give me a seat."

Lin Jinyu sat under Wu You's head, and when she saw Wu You sitting on the stool, cold sweat dripped from her forehead down her temples to the tip of her chin and dripped onto her official uniform, her extremely handsome face was instantly pale as paper.Tu Jingchen sneered, "If you know it hurts, you will have a better memory. I raised you for nothing!"

"Yes, I'm guilty." Wu You got up to plead guilty, his voice was weak, and Tu Jingchen didn't order him to sit down anymore.

Tu Jingchen looked at Lin Jinyu, "Do you know what I asked you to do?"

"I'm stupid."

"King Rui, talk to him."

Tu Wenfei said, "The Yangzhou salt tax case involved the Zhen family, and the interrogation went smoothly, but the million taels of salt tax silver was embezzled by the Zhen family to make up for the deficit when the Taizu took over. After chasing him Here, the account can be matched, but the Zhen family suddenly sold the house and land and paid a million taels of silver to go to Beijing, and said it was money for salt lessons... It has only been half a year since the case of the Zhen family was reported. The origin of it is really strange."

The Zhen family's behavior made the emperor feel unbearable. They owed money to receive your ancestors, and now they have repaid the money, what else?Not to mention the embarrassment of the emperor, it was even more difficult for Tu Jingchen. The Zhen family took the initiative to return the money they owed, rewards and unwillingness to reward, and punishment without punishment. It is really difficult to punish the crime.What puzzled him even more was that a million taels of silver was not a small sum, where did the Zhen family get it!If there are no ghosts inside, even if Tu Jingchen is a ghost, he wouldn't believe it!Unable to find out the reason for a while, this evil fire spread on Wu You's head.

Wu You wiped the cold sweat from the pain on his forehead, gritted his teeth, and said, "The minister sent people to Jinling to investigate, and the Zhen family sold houses and land for a total of more than 25 yuan in silver. After going to this 25 yuan, there is still 70 yuan unknown. Jinling The big and small silver villages in the city inquired, and within a year, there would be too much silver flow, and there was nowhere to start. This is all the negligence of the minister."

"This is the end of the case of the Zhen family. Zhen Weicun committed suicide in fear of crime, and the others will be dealt with according to the law. It's just that the 70 taels of silver definitely didn't come out of thin air. It's not convenient for me to invent a decree, so you have to continue to investigate for me." Tu Jingchen said, "Jinyu, you have also contributed to the case of the Zhen family. Your temperament is not suitable for the Imperial Academy, so you should work by my side. King Rui has an errand for the official department. matter, you assist Wu You."

Lin Jinyu took the order and glanced at Wu You. Wu You was sweating in his official uniform, and endured the severe pain, and said, "Long live, the Zhen family is far away in Jinling, and the tree has deep roots. It is really difficult to start. If you want to investigate Zhen's family affairs, it is better to transfer him back to the capital." , it’s also very convenient.”

Lin Jinyu interjected, "Master Wu is right. The Zhen family is like a local snake in Jinling. This time the Zhen family has made great contributions in donating silver. Long live to take pity on the old officials and transfer them to the capital to demonstrate the benevolence of long live. Besides, no one will Give him 70 silver for no reason, and the Zhen family will have to do things for others after receiving the money, and it will always show their feet. It is cheaper to check or ask in the capital."

"I have my own arrangements." Tu Jingchen's cold eyes swept back and forth on Wu You and Lin Jinyu's face, and seeing Lin Jinyu's heart beating suddenly, he said lightly, "Be careful with your errands, go down .”

Tu Wenfei still stayed in the inner study, Lin Jinyu followed Wu You out, Wu You almost fell to the ground as soon as he went out, Lin Jinyu hurriedly supported him.Lin Jinyu hadn't grown up yet, so she happened to be a crutch for Wu You. Wu You was not polite, and pressed most of her body on Lin Jinyu's shoulders. Bean buns?"

"Why are you being boarded?" Lin Jinyu asked.

"Zhen Weichu, you son of a bitch!" Wu You cursed through gritted teeth, and continued to moan weakly, "I can't do it today, I have to rest, and we'll talk about the Zhen family tomorrow. You also go to Xueshi Xu to check it out first." Dier, now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, or we will have to be boarded together next time."

Lin Jinyu sent Wu You to the Wu family's carriage at the gate of the palace before turning back to the house.

===========

Lin Jinyu went home to sit and meditate first, he couldn't rely on Xu Ziwen's guidance for everything, but even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out why Tu Jingchen put him in the case of Zhen's family so eagerly.As for Tu Jingchen, there must be many confidantes, why ask him to investigate?What's more, he's a bachelor's student, Wu You is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and it's the responsibility of the Ministry of Criminal Investigation to investigate the case, so it's not right to put them on their heads.

People from the Ministry of Industry can't be asked to drop their errands and rob the Ministry of Criminal Affairs... Oh my God, Lin Jinyu grabbed a piece of ice and put it in his mouth, calmed down a bit, could it be that Wu You is the emperor's spy?Otherwise, how did Wu You know about the sale of the Zhen family's house and land?

Lin Jinyu chewed the ice cubes, patted her ass and went to Xu's mansion.

Ever since Princess Dachang and Xu Junqing came to Beijing, Xu's mansion has become more lively, with cars coming and going, like a family living in a household.

Baozi is always as timely as the timely rain, and cheerfully clasped his fists, "Master Jinyu is here, and the young master is waiting for you." Baozi always called Xu Ziwen the young master, perhaps because he was used to it and was too lazy to change his words.

Lin Jinyu returned the salute, "Sir, you are really Zhuge Kongming, why do you know everything?"

"The emperor is here too." Baozi explained Lin Jinyu's confusion.

Depend on!It's waiting for him, bitch!Lin Jinyu shook his sleeves and took two steps, then turned his head and said, "Uncle Baozi, I'm dying of thirst, bring me a bowl of iced sour plum soup."

"Understood, Young Master Jinyu, hurry up."

The lotus leaf pavilions in the lake, the clear water under the sun give birth to gold, and the water pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings are like the dwellings of immortals.

Lin Jinyu pushed the door open and went in, a burst of coolness hit his forehead, he was so comfortable that he let out a long groan, and Xu Ziwen laughed inside, "What are you making strange noises, come in."

"Sir." Lin Jinyu bowed to Tu Jingchen, "Greetings to the emperor."

Xu Ziwen pointed to the watermelon on the table, "Eat it, it's very hot outside. I heard that you have been promoted to a bachelor's degree, how are you? Are you scared?"

Lin Jinyu took a piece, gnawed it carefully, it was sandy and sweet, and said after eating the watermelon, "I almost scared me to death, as soon as I arrived at the imperial study room, I saw Wu Shangshu being beaten with a board outside, and my legs started to twist Wu Shangshu asked me to come and find out with Mr.

Tu Jingchen said, "It seems that Wu You is complaining about me."

"No, Mr. Wu scolded Zhen Weichu." Lin Jinyu asked tentatively, "Did Mr. Wu be tricked by the Zhen family?"

"Wu You is usually considered shrewd and capable. I ordered him to keep an eye on the Zhen family, but he didn't even know that the Zhen family had confiscated 70 taels of silver!" Tu Jingchen said with anger still on his face, "Give him two rewards!" Ten Banzi is really cheap for him. I have watched you grow up, and I can trust you. Wu You is busy with the work of the Ministry of Industry, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to cope with these things. He is a cautious person, and he has already shared it with my important people. "

Lin Jinyu wanted to wipe her hands with a handkerchief, but after searching for a long time, she remembered that she was at home. She stretched out a finger stained with watermelon juice and licked it and asked, "Then how far will the emperor want to investigate the Zhen family?"

Tu Jingchen frowned very tightly, and scolded, "Aren't you disgusting!" He still licked his fingers when he was too old.Lin Jinyu wiped the front of her shirt directly, and asked persistently, "Your Majesty..."

Tu Jingchen was too lazy to look at him again, "Aren't you good at guessing my thoughts? Go if you want."

"Yes." Lin Jinyu was unwilling to stroke the tiger's beard, and said with a smile, "Sir, is Sister Lin at home? I'll go and see her."

"At home, but engaged men and women can't meet before the big wedding. It's been a while since she went to your house last time. Don't go there." Xu Ziwen took Lin Jinyu's hand, wiped him with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, " When you become an official in the court in the future, you have to be more careful, and if you dare to lick your hands and wipe your clothes, you will not be spared, remember?"

"I just forgot to bring my handkerchief today. Sir, your watermelon is really sweet, I'll eat some more." Lin Jinyu gnawed on a plate of watermelon and drank two bowls of sour plum soup before he felt full. Alright, I lifted my buttocks and went to sleep on the side.

Tu Jingchen's heart was not going well, seeing Lin Jinyu eating and drinking, and still refusing to leave, he was even more angry.

Xu Ziwen went to the side room to watch Lin Jinyu sleep. He only wore a pair of big trousers and a snow-white body underneath. He took a thin quilt and put it on Lin Jinyu's waist before going out.

"If you hadn't betrothed Yulin to Lin Jinyu, I would really doubt that he was born by you." Tu Jingchen said jealously.

Xu Ziwen lay sideways on the couch, and said with a smile, "You should also learn from Jinyu's magnanimity. The Zhen family's affairs are quite weird, but in this capital, no one dares to make trouble. Don't you even think about this?" worried?"

"I always feel a bad premonition." Tu Jingchen grabbed Xu Ziwen's hand and smiled, "However, let's leave him alone for now."

Xu Ziwen smiled, "You asked Jinyu to be Wu You's deputy. I really didn't expect that, after all, he and Wenfei..."

"Lin Jinyu's temperament is the most ruthless and the most sentimental. There are very few people who can put him in his heart. Although you and him are not like father and son, there is also a father-son relationship. His heart is not something that can be easily bought. If he really liked Wenfei, he wouldn't be so warm to Yulin. With you here, he is loyal to me." Tu Jingchen said, "Besides, he is not a fool. He judges the situation and naturally knows what to do. In fact, Lin Jinyu is somewhat similar to Wu You. Wu You also has a few lovers outside, but who can be in their hearts? If Wenfei can get Lin Jinyu to treat each other sincerely, this is his ability and his blessing. If he can With this promise, you didn’t teach him in vain.”

Lin Jinyu is a very understanding person. Two years ago, he went to Beijing in white clothes to fight with the Rongguo Mansion and was awarded a noble. He had an insight into the opportunity, so he upheld a belief: follow the emperor.In fact, many people in the court think this way, but many people don't have Lin Jinyu's vision and means.

Then there is the matter of Lin Jinyu and Tu Wenfei, no matter what Tu Wenfei's plan is, in Tu Jingchen's view, Lin Jinyu's heart is not on Tu Wenfei.The two of them had nothing to do and rolled the sheets, which was not enough to make Tu Jingchen look sideways.When Tu Jingchen didn't reveal his identity at the beginning, Lin Jinyu treated him indifferently, but he was affectionate and righteous to Xu Ziwen.In Tu Jingchen's view, Lin Jinyu's affection for Xu Ziwen is much more reliable than his physical relationship with Tu Wenfei!
