Chapter 905 Looking Forward To The Future

Tang Lin was a little overwhelmed by being hugged so suddenly, and the family he brought back with him also looked terrified.

"Uncle, we thought you would come back around the Chinese New Year."

"I didn't expect you to be pardoned. I went to Duke Ye's mansion to look for you before, and the concierge told me that you lived here."

"Well, I didn't expect it either, uncle, did you go home first? The family is the closest..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Seeing that Bai Kou was about to talk non-stop, Tang Lin grabbed a small piece of pastry from the table and fed it into Bai Kou's mouth, "I'll talk about my business later, you meet this family first Man, I brought it all the way back for you, I know you like craftsmen, they promise to surprise you."

Bai Kou chewed the snacks in his mouth, and this was the first time he seriously looked at the stranger in front of him. There were two parents, three sons and two daughters, a total of seven people, the oldest was ten years old, and the youngest was five or six years old. The exhaustion of the journey was written all over, and each of them had burnt hair, and the skin exposed outside the clothes had burns of varying severity, and some of their hands were wrapped in gauze.

"Is this a family that narrowly escaped from the fire?"

"That's right, and it's a criminal case." Tang Lin pointed at the parents. He suffered the most serious injuries on his hands and face, but the whole family has received medical treatment. The whole family would have to be burned alive like this.”

"What do you do with the criminal case brought back to the capital?"

"Because the local officials did not admit that there was such a vicious arson case, the closing statement was also written as an accidental fire caused by careless use of fire."

"So go to Beijing to sue the imperial court?"

"I don't want to sue the imperial court, I just want a place where the family can resettle. The ancestral carpenter has excellent craftsmanship."

"Where is the stick? Why was the door blocked and set on fire?"

"It was because of the superb craftsmanship that the door was blocked and set on fire with a grudge."

"Uncle, you can tell me directly, it must be of value to interest me if you bring it back from a long distance."

"Look, I run a yarn store, right? I'm looking for a source of supply, where do you think I've been?"

"Xingning Mansion?"

"Smart, but they are from Hong'an County. The carpenter's craftsmanship inherited from their ancestors and the wisdom essence of several generations have made water-driven spinning machines and looms, so they were blocked and set on fire in the middle of the night. The county magistrate It doesn't matter, I bought them as slaves and brought them back."

"Really? Hydraulic? How many catties of cotton yarn can be produced in a day and night?"

"There are more wet seasons and less dry seasons. On average, it can weigh about [-] catties a day and night." Uncle Song, who is in charge of the house, speaks with a crooked mouth in Hong'an dialect, which sounds a bit difficult to listen to.

"What about weaving?"

"That one burned before it was used a few times."

"Okay, I'll keep you for the time being, you can rest assured to recover from your injuries, and I'll send you to the farm when you're healed. There is a tributary there, and you can make a new prototype for me. If I'm satisfied with the trial, I'll formally accept you. "

"You are a girl, can you make the decision?" The Song family all looked at Bai Kou suspiciously. Although they heard a lot about Bai Kou on the way to the capital, seeing such a young girl at this time, After all, there is some suspicion.

"She really has the final say!"

"Only she can decide whether you stay or not."

Gong Changji and Gu Yun suddenly walked into the flower hall side by side. As soon as they came back, they heard what the porter said, and came over immediately, just in time to hear a tail.

"When did you two come? How much did you overhear?" Bai Kou glanced sideways.

"What do you call eavesdropping? The door is open, so we are listening openly." Gong Zhangji cast a triumphant glance at Bai Kou, but Gu Yun stepped on it on purpose.

Tang Lin led the Song family to stand up and salute the two of them, "Brother Song, come quickly, this is the eldest son of Chengjun Palace, and this is Gu Yun, the eldest son of Duomenye's mansion."

The Song family hurriedly got out of the table and were about to kneel and kowtow, but Gong Zhangji hurriedly excused them.

"Okay, get up, you'll be free from this injury, listen to Bai Kou, heal your injury and show your skills, only those who can earn money are eligible to stay, and if you can stay, kowtow to me."

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord." The Song family was grateful and supported each other to get up from the ground.

The palace chief called Tang Lin to come forward again, and asked him when he entered the city, and whether the Song family had settled down first, but it turned out that they came here as soon as they entered the capital, so he ordered the housekeeper to prepare a small yard for the Song family to live in. The palace doctor is taking care of the wounded in the palace, and it is also convenient for Bai Kou to discuss any problems at any time.

The Song family thanked Prince Cheng again, and went down first with the butler.

The servants replaced the flower hall with new tea and snacks, and then the door was closed, and the four of them gathered around the table and told Tang Lin the series of events after King Yu returned to Beijing, admiring his serial tricks.

"Tang Lin, it's really because of you that the madam and so many girls bite King Yu back. I must offer you a cup of tea, hero, real hero." The palace chief picked up the teapot and filled Tang Lin without explanation.

"Thank you, my lord, I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it." Tang Lin took a sip of hot tea with both hands in his hands and put it down, "Actually, this strategy is not worth a penny, because out of [-]% of the news, [-]% of it is true, and the rest Even if it is fake, it becomes true. The girl who was enjoyed by King Yu was dealt with on the way back to Beijing, so the confession of the bustard and the others only needs to say that they have not seen each other since they were taken away by Xinu That's it."

"However, Xinu's appearance made them describe Li Daxue. You stayed in Dacheng Mansion for a few months, but in the end you didn't exist at all." Gu Yun laughed.

"That's right, in order to minimize the chances for others to know me, especially the people around King Yu, I only contacted Li University one-way. Every time he sends out a girl, I will share as much reward as I want. According to him, I will distribute the money to the four madams. The four of them made enough money, but they found out that it was King Yu who set up the trap. It was too late to repent. Even if you tell the truth, you can’t save your life. The role of those girls is to persuade the madam to side with the prince. The girls are all victims of disasters in the counties and villages under the Dacheng Mansion. They have the most direct experience of disaster relief. They who come down to do practical things are very clear that as long as they are determined, the madams will give in after a few days of conflict. They earn so much money, they must live to enjoy it? So, out of [-]% of the news, [-]% is true, The remaining [-]% is not true and true.”

"Yang Siyuan and his son, in order to prove that King Yu was framed, checked the backgrounds of us and found you, and you happened to be in the capital where you left a few days ago. They found the madam and the girls. After getting the portrait, I was very excited, but the Crown Prince handed over all the servants and testimonies to Yingtian Mansion after the interrogation. They were worried that the evidence would be unfavorable to King Yu, so they had no time to verify who the person on the portrait was, so they were impatient. They sent the memorial to the imperial court. Their thinking was correct, and they lost at this step by mistake. It is God's eyes to prevent the bad guys from succeeding in their schemes. Otherwise, if they find out that Xi Nu is Li Daxue, Naturally, he held back the news and dared not announce it, and without the subsequent court trial, these things would not have happened." The palace chief continued to take a few sips of hot tea and said slowly.

"As an afterthought, I really like how smart Yang Siyuan and his friends are. Although we were quite frightened at the time, the reactions of those girls were beyond our expectations. We could feel the courtroom's actions when we stood outside the gate of the ceremony. With that strong anger and resentment, the girls seized the opportunity to sue in court, and now there are various testimonies from the judges from the neighboring counties of Dacheng Mansion. After being cleaned up, the Zhao family is finished." Gu Yun tapped his finger on the table.

"It's a matter of time before their downfall. The involvement is too great. It may take until next year just to sort out all the facts of the case." Gong Changji made a quick estimate.

"I can live a comfortable and happy year this year." Bai Kou leaned back on the chair back with a face full of satisfaction, "If the Song family hadn't bragged just now, the farm might be able to pay tax of ten thousand taels next year."

"Ah?!" The thoughts of the three men were immediately diverted by her, "Really?"

"I mean if." Bai Kou rubbed three fingers together, as if counting banknotes, "If it's true, my uncle has made great contributions, and then he will make a fortune together."

"I know you like it." Tang Lin smiled until all the wrinkles on his face relaxed.

Gong Changji and Gu Yun were a little depressed, "We said so much just now, but you didn't listen to a single word?"

"Those things are in the past. It's just that my uncle came back to answer some questions. Since there are no questions, why are we still obsessed with the past? Of course, we are looking forward to the future."

The three men were silent, looking at Bai Kou whose expression was already very strange, their eyes were shining, as if there were boxes of gold in front of her.

"It's okay, just get used to it, Bai Kou just loves money." Gu Yun knew Bai Kou's hobby very well.

"Needless to say, I'm a bachelor, what do I love if I don't love money? Only money can give me the best sense of security. I'll be safe in my pocket. I'll be safe in my pocket." Bai Kou spoke plausibly.

"Bai Kou, do you know that men in the capital who want to marry you can line up from the front door to the back door of my palace?"

"I know, but so what, it's none of my business? What they think is their business, what I think is my business, don't confuse things that don't match up with each other at all." After teaching the palace chief, Bai Kou was justified .

Tang Lin was already dumbfounded. He had never seen Bai Kou like this before. In his impression, Bai Kou was a cute girl, not so arrogant.

"Then what kind of man do you want to find? Tell us and we can help you find out more about it?" Gong Changji smiled amiably, and bumped knees with Gu Yun under the table.

"Of course it's better to be good-looking, talented, and rich. There are quite a few young men in their twenties wandering around all over the streets in the capital. It's really eye-catching." Bai Kou rubbed her hands, showing her white teeth, and smiled. Grandma Wolf looks like she wants to eat meat, "Don't worry, next year will be Chunwei, and I'm more interested in fresh and delicious juvenile Jinshi."

The three men suddenly felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end for no reason, Gong Zhangji secretly looked at Gu Yun, and the boy's face turned blue.
