Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 638 Forest department?Xue department?
It took Chi Xinian only half an hour to go.

It wasn't until Yan Chujing leisurely finished her meal, put down her chopsticks and rinsed her mouth, that she slowly moved back to the room with a shocked face.

"Have you seen the person clearly?" Yan Chujing picked up the teacup and glanced at her.

"Hmm..." Chi Xinian pursed his lips and sat down opposite him, adding a touch of eccentricity to his shocked face, "It's the head of the Shangyi Bureau, and a middle-aged man who I don't know. Leaving aside the middle-aged man Why, it is the head of the Shangyi Bureau, he is a servant, how could he make an appointment to meet someone here?"

That's a servant, a person with incomplete six faculties.

Choosing to meet people in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion, isn't it torturing and humiliating yourself?

Chi Xinian couldn't figure it out.

But Yan Chujing didn't realize that this matter was worth making a fuss about: "Being incapable of doing things doesn't mean that you don't have lust. The court ladies in the palace are good to those who eat, but why can't there be women looking for fireworks outside the palace to enjoy themselves?"

Chi Xinian thought about it too.

What's more, you don't have to do anything when you come to Fireworks and Willow Lane. Some self-proclaimed elegant guests only come to listen to music and dance.

The servants can also do these things.

Chi Xinian is not a person who knows how to drill into a dead end, so he figured out all the joints in one go.

Seeing that she had figured out the premise, Yan Chujing immediately said: "As for the middle-aged man you are unfamiliar with, that is Liu Pei, the local governor who just returned to Beijing from Jiangnan to report on his duties a few days ago.

"He studied under Mr. Liu and was hailed as a gifted scholar when he was young. After 26 years, he was appreciated by Lin Yuansi, the chief examiner of the imperial examination. He was a Jinshi in high school. He is a very powerful and promising person.

"There's nothing wrong with him except being flirtatious."

"So?" Chi Xinian didn't understand the introduction, "There is a future, and he appeared in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion with the palace servants. Is there any connection? Could it be that Eunuch Qin is acting as a substitute for someone in the palace?" The nobles win over promising people?
"Could it be that the Xue family is recruiting talents? But the Xue family should not let Concubine Xue go to recruit talents, right? She has been regarded as a target by you. Now that there is no hope of self-protection, how can you recruit people..."

"A Nian, you didn't understand the point." Yan Chujing smiled and shook his head, "Liu Pei's teacher when he was young was Master Liu, who came from the Liu family in Heyin, the Liu family that had been friends with the Canglan Lin family for generations.

"And his tutor is Lin Yuansi, one of the existences with the most career advantages in the Canglan Lin family in the past 30 years.

"Liu family, Lin family, benefactor, teacher..." Yan Chujing lightly tapped his fingertips on the table, and said with a sneer, "With these two layers of connections, I don't need to say which branch Liu Pei is from. ?”

"He's from the Lin family?!" Chi Xinian quickly realized.

The Lin family, a second Dajing family that was almost forgotten by her during this time.

They first made their fortune in the south of the Yangtze River, and later became famous in Kyoto. Even if they have shown signs of decline in recent years, they are still a force that cannot be underestimated.

But also because they have declined in recent years, honestly, they are much quieter. When she was following the Xue family who was about to move, she subconsciously ignored the Lin family.

But now...

Thinking of the few conversations he overheard just now, Chi Xinian's face became more weird and intense: "But if he is a real Lin family, why didn't he mention the family at all, but mentioned the case related to the Xue family several times? ?”

Just now, in addition to identifying people, Chi Xinian also searched for a few specific conversations between the two of them.

If she's not mistaken, these two people are planning to help Xue's people get rid of some difficult lawsuits...
