Dingguo

Chapter 156

The group of people outside the city sighed, and each found a place to sleep without mentioning it; inside the city, Lin Hailu also had a bitter face, sitting blankly in a daze. 【】

It never occurred to me that the imperial envoy would suddenly jump out of the city in the middle of the night.And if you don't jump, you're done, just jump and pick up Governor Qian from the Appeasement Department.

"Father, do you want to go to the imperial envoy for an interview?" Lin Rong didn't know what to do. In this way, the imperial envoy came here specially for his father.

If this is the case, then something is wrong.

Lin Hailu's face was gloomy, but he couldn't express his anger.He couldn't understand why this envoy Li Qin arrested his own officials as soon as he entered the city?

Could it be that the imperial envoy and the second prince are in the same group?Or in other words, is it aimed at yourself, to do yourself a favor?

In any case, if you didn't say hello to yourself, and arrested your own people overnight on your own land, you were slapping yourself in the face.Absolutely no good intentions.

But what can I do?He could only watch helplessly as Li Qin sent the man away, without even daring to say a word.Who knows what kind of hole the imperial envoy dug there, waiting for him!

"Sleep, sleep." Lin Hailu walked back and forth in the room for a dozen times, but couldn't figure out why, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out anymore. Going smoothly, everywhere is not going well.So I just didn't want to think about it, I'll take a nap first, and then I'll talk when I wake up.

Lin Rong also couldn't figure out what the imperial envoy was singing. Since he couldn't figure it out, he couldn't act rashly.Therefore, when he heard what his father said, he had no choice but to get up and prepare to leave.

Unexpectedly, Master Zhou hurried into the side hall.

Lin Rong naturally knew that his father had entrusted Mr. Zhou with the matter of accepting the ransom, so when he saw Mr. Zhou coming in so late and in such a hurry, he guessed that it must be something outside the city. He led Mr. Zhou in, and quickly closed the door.

Master Zhou didn't have time to talk to Lin Rong, so he just nodded and went straight into the house. When Lin Hailu stood in the house with a gloomy face, he hurriedly said in a low voice, "My lord, something happened."

"An accident? What happened again?"

"The bandits on Mount Mogan captured one of the people we sent to pick up the ransom."

Lin Hailu stared blankly at Master Zhou, his face contorted immediately, he stroked the tea trays on the table vigorously, and they all fell to the ground, his fat face trembling fiercely, he said, "It's all trash."

Lin Rong's heart also sank.

Now there is trouble. If the gangsters know that the Lin family is responsible for the whole matter, then they can do anything.

"Father, calm down. The Wuling army has already made preparations. Mogan Mountain is just around the corner. Even if they know, it will be of no use. Besides, they are originally bandits. No one will listen to the words of bandits harming officials."

"Hmph. Even if you think about it, you can't let people think about it, especially the imperial envoy. Li has already stared at me. At this time, let him want to hear these rumors. Who knows what he will think, maybe he Just follow the wind to check."

"Since the imperial envoy has revealed his whereabouts, son, why don't you pick some people to keep an eye on the imperial envoy's whereabouts?"

Lin Hailu nodded naively, "I can only do this first. Go down, I'm a little tired."

Lin Rong returned to his yard, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.I feel that this matter is just like the weather. Since it rained, it has been like a woman's lewd water, and it can't be stopped.

All these piles, one after another, are in a hurry, it's only a few days of work, how many things have been brought up?Unfortunately, nothing goes well.It seems that someone is doing the right thing everywhere, and no matter what they do, they will hit a wall.

If you don't find out the person who is obstructing this, maybe something will happen.But, who is in the way?

Li Daoming or the second prince?

It should be the second prince, right?Otherwise, what happened to the Li family only happened a few days ago?The emperor will know it!The second prince must have spread his eyeliner in Wuling, and he had already made up his mind to touch his father.

It should be this hand, moving the progress of the matter behind the scenes.If it is not removed in time, the future will be poor.If the hand is severed, then the root is truly severed. No matter how much Li Daoming struggles, he will lose confidence.

The most urgent task is not to grasp Li Daoming's whereabouts, but to control that Du Ruhui.

The more Lin Rong thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. Unable to settle for a moment, he went to the inner courtyard, picked out a few fine people, and told them to follow the yamen servants tomorrow, and search carefully. Where is this Du Ruhui? Where.

Knowing that if Du Ruhui wanted to hide his body, he could hide in this huge Wuling City, and he might not be able to find Du Ruhui, so he went to Master Zhou's room in the side courtyard, could Wuling City , the officials from the second prince's group got some news.

In short, Du Ruhui couldn't be allowed to just quietly hide in the dark.Just thinking about someone secretly plotting against the Lin family, Lin Rong felt a twinge of pain on his back.

It's a pity that he still went in the wrong direction, and he could never have imagined that the real mastermind behind the scenes was the talented Su who had been in the limelight recently.

The next day, the imperial guard of honor entered the city.

Lin Hailu led the officials, big and small, out of the city to greet them, but was told that the imperial envoy had already entered the city.

For Lin Hailu, this is not new news.Last night, he knew that Li Daoming had already entered the city. If Li Daoming was not in the city, the gang under Li Daoming would not have the courage to break into Fusina.Therefore, when he came to welcome the guard of honor, he was actually doing superficial work, just pretending to be confused.

Of course, most people have not heard that the imperial envoy took money from the governor last night, so when they heard that the imperial envoy had already entered the city, and found out that the imperial envoy was here to test the government departments, they felt a little strange Come.

It's just that everyone understood and didn't bring it up on the surface. Seeing that the imperial envoy hadn't been received, they all dispersed.

And the guard of honor of the imperial envoys all the way to the post house.He did not accept visits from officials, but closed the door, so there was no additional disturbance, and a huge imperial envoy entered the city without making a sound.

For a whole morning, Wuling City was just like usual, it was bleak and rainy, there was no movement at all, it was so peaceful that it couldn't be more peaceful.

Until after noon.The news that the Li family did not redeem Mr. Li, and the ransom was robbed by thieves, spread in the city, and suddenly there was a commotion.
