After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

Chapter 230 How to break the situation

Chu Nianshan ordered in a cold voice: "Wang Qi, find a fast horse and bring Ma Laisan back. Don't let him leave the city."

"Brother Zijin, you can use the excuse of visiting the doctor to go to the Lin Mansion."

Zhou Zijin stood up immediately and was about to set off.

"and many more."

Chu Nianshan stopped him again: "If you look like this, it will inevitably arouse people's suspicion. It's better for me to go."

Just as Zhou Zijin was about to say something, he saw another boy coming: "Your Majesty, he has gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

It is really strange for the king of a country to abandon state affairs and rush here.

The two looked at each other and walked out together in tacit understanding.

Prime Minister's House.

Zhou Tingchen sat on the main seat, his eyes dim and unclear, playing with the white jade lamp in his hand.

Zhang Xiuli knelt on the ground and felt a pressure coming towards her: "The Emperor suddenly visited, but what happened to the Queen?"

"I'm here for Miss Lin."

Lin Pengsheng's scalp exploded: "The humble minister has no way to teach his daughter, and the emperor is laughing at her."

Zhou Tingchen said slowly: "The materials handed over by the Criminal Department are full of doubts. I suspect that someone is obstructing it."

Zhang Xiuli's heart trembled. She thought that by driving Lin Zhiyu out of the Lin family, she could sit back and relax, but who knew that the emperor was actually recruited here!

The imperial army turned the entire Prime Minister's Mansion upside down. Lin Pengsheng seemed calm, but in fact he was panicking to death.

But no matter how unwilling he is, the other party is also the emperor, so how can he stop him?

Butler Li wiped his sweat and hurried over to deliver the message: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo and Prince Jin are also here."

Zhou Tingchen raised his eyelids: "Let them come in."

It's a bit unexpected that so many people are thinking about Lin Zhiyu.

Chu Nianshan came in, exchanged a few words, and then went straight to the topic.

"There is indeed something fishy about Lin Zhiyu. There was pastry powder mixed into the clothes. I was about to come to the Lin Mansion to find out. I didn't expect that this incident actually alerted the emperor. It is a minor dereliction of duty."

"You seem to be very concerned about her affairs?"

Zhou Tingchen showed an inquiring gaze.

"When Miss Lin was young, she accidentally saved my life. I just found out about it not long ago."

Chu Nianshan smiled and said: "Since you are a benefactor, there is no reason to sit back and do nothing."

Zhou Zijin's heart sank. Chu Nianshan had never mentioned this matter to him.

"Didn't Brother Wang go to Yongzhou? Why are you back too?" Zhou Tingchen's eyes drifted to Zhou Zijin again.

Zhou Zijin keenly sensed that Zhou Tingchen had become suspicious of the relationship between him and Chu Nianshan.

After all, he was in Yongzhou, how could he know what was happening in the capital so quickly?
"Halfway through the journey, I heard that Xu Luyan had committed suicide by taking poison, so I rushed back temporarily."

Zhou Zijin lied to his imperial brother for the first time.

The only person who knew that he was going to Yongzhou, besides Chu Nianshan, was Zhou Tingchen.

If the Jiang family really moved that fast, it was impossible for him and Chu Nianshan to not be aware of it at all.

Zhuang Younan's words had an impact on him.

Lin Pengsheng sat next to him, watching these people talking to each other, but he didn't say a word.

While talking, Jian Ying carried Zhang Fugui and walked in menacingly.

"Your Majesty, three adults, when I searched the west wing, I saw him stuffing pastries into his mouth in a hurry, and there were a lot of broken crumbs scattered on the table next to him."

Zhang Fugui's legs went weak when he heard the word "Emperor": "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

"You just ate a pastry, why do you ask me to spare your life?"

Zhou Tingchen narrowed his eyes. Zhang Fugui didn't know how to answer, so he had to look for help at Zhang Xiuli who was kneeling aside.

Zhang Xiuli's whole body had already been turned into mud at this time.

I was worried that others would catch clues, so I asked Zhang Fugui to leave the walnut cake, carefully picked out the walnut kernels inside, ground it into powder, and stuffed it into Zhang Shuangshuang's hands.

Even though he had so much time, he failed to destroy the evidence in time. Now, let them catch him!
"What's going on with this pastry?"

Zhou Zijin glanced at it with sharp eyes, and he pushed the process to a close in his mind. Now he was waiting for Zhang Fugui to admit it personally.

"I'll just eat a pastry..." Zhang Fugui replied tremblingly.

He just felt that it was a pity to throw away the pastries that were broken into small pieces, so he kept them, thinking of eating a little a day.

"Do you think we are all blind?" Zhou Zijin shouted, "The cake is damp, so it's not fresh from the oven at first glance."

Zhou Tingchen looked at Lin Pengsheng leisurely: "I was negligent. I didn't know that my beloved was so poor."

Lin Pengsheng knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty clearly knows that I discuss matters with the Emperor every day and have no idea what is happening in the house."

"Absurd!" Zhou Tingchen slapped the armrest of the chair. The emperor was so angry that everyone present knelt on the ground.

"Do you know how bad this incident has caused?" Zhou Tingchen stood with his hands behind his hands and his tone was serious.

"It is unfavorable for the housekeeper who is a minor minister. Please ask the left prime minister to take him to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation."

Lin Pengsheng leaned down lower.

Zhang Fugui shouted: "Why are you arresting me? I also listened to my sister's words. If you want to arrest me, you have to arrest her first!"

Zhang Xiuli's scalp exploded, and she secretly cursed an idiot. She explained everything clearly before anyone asked anything!
"In that case, let's take the Zhang brothers and sisters away together."

Chu Nianshan said coldly.

"Master Prime Minister, I have been busy with the eldest girl's marriage these two days, and I don't know anything!"

Zhang Xiuli said scared.

Forget it if you go to Dali Temple, Mr. He might be able to make a profit for himself.

But she was going to the Ministry of Punishment. She had long heard that this young and promising prime minister was ruthless and decisive. If she went to the Ministry of Punishment, she would die or lose her skin!

Lin Pengsheng wanted to protect her: "Your Majesty, Xiuli is the Queen's biological mother. If others find out, it will inevitably damage the majesty of the royal family."

"What do you think should be done?" Zhou Tingchen asked.

"Let her stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion first. When the interrogation comes, it won't be too late to let her go."

When Lin Minghua was mentioned, Zhou Tingchen's eyes dimmed, but he finally agreed to Lin Pengsheng's request.

……

At dusk, Lin Zhiyu slowly woke up.

The first thought when I regained consciousness was to eat.

I haven't eaten anything for almost two days and my mouth still tastes bitter. I guess someone gave me medicine.

When she moved her hand, she couldn't help but gasp.

It hurts, it hurts so much!
People say that it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, but He Chenghu's people have killed him again. It is estimated that he will not be able to write again in the next three months.

An's mother was lying on the table next to her, closing her eyes and falling asleep. When she heard some movement from Lin Zhiyu's side, she quickly got up to check.

"My lord, you are finally awake!"

Seeing Lin Zhiyu open her eyes, An's mother was relieved.

She reached out and touched Lin Zhiyu's forehead: "Fortunately, the fever is gone, otherwise I would have to go through all the trouble again."

"Is this...Prince Jin's Mansion?" Lin Zhiyu stood up and looked around, unfamiliar furnishings came into view.

"Prince Jin just returned this morning. This is the residence of Master Chu Nianshan."
