Tuan Chong Guai Guai: The whole family can listen to my voice

Chapter 82 A shocking case
  "Silver smuggling."

Lin Qiming only said these four words, but everyone was shocked.

[Silver mine smuggling? 】

Lin Baoer's movement of eating jujube cakes stopped and his eyes suddenly widened.

[Isn’t this the smuggling case in the original plot where bureaucrats and pirates colluded? It once caused a sensation in the entire Yan Dynasty, involving dozens of officials, all of whom were officials of fifth rank or above. The emperor was furious and executed the nine tribes. 】

[The Lin Mansion was also framed and implicated. The eldest brother was demoted three levels in a row. The father was forced to guard the border. The second brother was bullied and made things difficult for him in the military camp. The Yan Dynasty's national treasury was also weakened because of this incident. They kept plundering people's wealth and money, and the border was tight. , the situation was urgent and gave the enemy an opportunity. 】

[But shouldn’t this be half a year later? 】

Everyone's faces froze, and their expressions gradually became serious.

Shen Xuelan's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes were a little panicked.

"Dad, does anyone else know about this?" Lin Zhiyu said cautiously.

Lin Qiming's face also became serious, and he muttered: "I did not make any announcement about this matter, and no one except the close associates of the Lin family knew about it."

"It's just that since you found these two stones from the lake, it proves that others may find them. It's better to plan for this matter in advance."

Lin Bao'er had no appetite now, and she knitted her delicate brows in thought.

[The prince was banned from the East Palace due to poor performance, and the beneficiaries of this incident, the third prince and the prime minister's office, became famous people in front of the emperor. They were favored and favored by the emperor. 】

[It’s just that now that the Prime Minister’s Palace is gone, the third prince is still able to do this. It seems that I underestimated him. 】

Several people looked at each other and understood clearly in their hearts.

It seems that this matter has something to do with the third prince.

"Don't make this matter public, I will lead a private investigation with others." Lin Qiming said solemnly.

The others nodded, preoccupied.

The third prince had already made a foolproof plan, so how could he easily let them find a flaw?
  The meal ended in a hurry, and the Cold Food Festival passed in a hurry.

……

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Lin Baoer celebrated her first birthday, and almost all the officials and nobles in Yanjing City who had good relations with the Lin family sent congratulatory gifts.

Lin Baoer also accumulated more than 400 points during this period. After calculation, she almost had a deposit of 600 points, which finally gave her a sense of security.

But since the silver smuggling incident was noticed by everyone in the Lin Mansion that day, there has been no movement since then. Everything in Yanjing City has been calm, as if such a thing had never happened at all.

It also made everyone in the Lin Mansion feel increasingly uneasy.

Lin Qiming also tried to send people to monitor Song Chu's every move, but he got nothing, which made him discouraged.

Could it be that they are all under attack?
  "This morning someone raised the issue of the missing silver miners."

In the study, Lin Qiming paced back and forth, frowning, "I think it won't be long before someone discovers the smuggling of silver mines."

"According to the three-month investigation, this matter is indeed related to pirates, but as for how they contacted officials from North Korea and China, no clues have been found yet."

Lin Zhiyu nodded and pondered, "I discussed this matter with the prince not long ago, and asked the Ministry of Revenue to send additional manpower because of the disappearance of the silver mine workers. But the journey is far away, and we can't know the specific situation there. We can only know it in advance. Deploy around and bide your time.”

"Judging from the news coming back, there doesn't seem to be much movement over there."

"But I'm afraid..."

I am afraid that something unexpected will happen and I will be unable to recover.

"It will be the third emperor's concubine's birthday in three days, right?" Lin Qiming said suddenly.

A flash of light flashed in Lin Zhiyu's eyes, "Dad, do you want to..."

"Since we can't get them to show off, let's test it out first." "I don't believe he is really hiding it!" Lin Qiming snorted coldly, finalizing the decision.

Three days later, the Third Prince's Mansion.

The house is full of guests and friends, dignitaries and dignitaries are passing each other, drinking and drinking.

"Mom, eat this!" Lin Baoer pulled Shen Xuelan's legs and pointed at the shrimps on the square corner table in a coquettish manner.

She kicked the stool with her short legs, looking forward to it.

[I didn’t expect to be able to eat out-of-season food at the Prince’s Mansion. It’s truly a royal countertop. 】

Shen Xuelan rubbed her head lovingly, then peeled off the shrimp shells for her before handing them to her.

After stuffing it into his mouth, Lin Baoer ran to Lin Ruqian with satisfaction.

Two months ago, she was slowly able to stand up, and then she started to waddle and learn to walk, and now she can walk very smoothly.

What made her even more gratified was that her vocal cords were now fully developed and she could say whatever she wanted, but she was very happy.

Finally, I no longer have to be a mute!

"Third brother~"

The sound of her milk purring almost made Lin Ruqian cute. He picked her up in one breath and whispered: "Today is the birthday of the third imperial concubine. Do you remember what I taught you before?"

Lin Baoer blinked, and the little chicken nodded, "Remember!"

[Isn’t it just a compliment to the third imperial concubine? I remember it clearly! 】

"That's good." Lin Ruqian was pleased.

They came here today for another purpose, which was to find evidence that the third prince colluded with the pirates. Even if they couldn't find it, they still wanted to find other clues.

Otherwise, things will reach a deadlock, which will be very detrimental to them.

Someone in the court had already poured dirty water on the Ministry of Finance regarding the disappearance of the silver miners, and Lin Zhiyu, a doctor in the Ministry of Finance, was naturally implicated.

After this, Lin Mansion will be affected sooner or later.

But Lin Baoer didn't understand, what does this have to do with complimenting the third emperor's concubine? She wished she could just say a few more words, and then the Third Prince would be thrown into chaos.

"Where's the second brother?" She raised her head and asked.

Lin Ruqian had a subtle expression and coughed lightly, "I have something to do."

In fact, his second brother should have arrived in the third prince's study by now.

After all, only Lin Mobai is the most suitable to do this.

"Everyone, today is the birthday of the imperial concubine. We are waiting for you..."

Too lazy to listen to the nonsense in the hall, Lin Baoer's eyes wandered around. When she saw a familiar figure, her eyes lit up and she ran over immediately. Lin Ruqian didn't even think about holding him back.

After walking through the crowd and coming to the beautiful figure, Lin Baoer showed a sweet smile to her, with shy eyes: "Sister Chu~"

This person is not Chu Jingzhe.

Chu Jingzhe looked at her in surprise and surprise, and picked her up casually, "Bao'er? Why are you here? Where is Mrs. Lin?"

"My mother is talking to some other ladies over there." Lin Baoer explained, deliberately showing an aggrieved look, "I don't know where my brothers have gone, so I can only come to see Sister Chu."

Sure enough, Chu Jingzhe softened her heart as soon as she heard this, and took the initiative to peel off some delicious food and feed it to her mouth.

"Is this the fourth lady of the Lin family?"

Someone from the side poked his head over, and Lin Baoer was immediately surrounded by a group of gorgeous boudoir ladies.
