Invincible Sword Soul

Chapter 200
Sitting opposite the Prime Minister was a middle-aged man with a kind of hostility on his body. It is estimated that the place where he stayed all year round was full of resentment, which led to the accumulation of so much viciousness on his body.

"Master Shi Lang was joking. I'm too happy that you can come to Xiang's mansion. How can I blame you? I'll order someone to prepare some drinks in a while, and we'll chat while drinking!"

Zhang Zhong laughed, with a smile on his face, but there was a strange look in his eyes.

Although they were ministers in the same dynasty, the two sides had very little interaction, and there was nothing else except for some official business contacts.

Today, the servant suddenly visited the prime minister's mansion, and Zhang Zhong didn't understand, so it's better to show courtesy first and then fight, see what he wants to do, and then make a decision.

"There's no need to prepare wine. I'm here today to meet with Xiangye. I hope Xiangye won't embarrass me!"

The servant Liu Chun kept a low profile. After all, in terms of official position, he was the first rank above Zhang Zhong.

"Oh, I wonder who the waiter wants to see?"

Zhang Zhong pretended to be confused, not understanding why the servant came to the prime minister's mansion to meet someone, with a questioning tone.

"This person is now in the prime minister's residence!"

Both of them are people on the scene, and their words are very tactful, but they are fighting each other. It seems that in the court, the two do not belong to the same faction.

"who?"

Zhang Zhong sat down, took a sip of tea, and asked the servant.

"Lynch!"

The servant narrowed his eyes into a slit, looking at the expression on Zhang Zhong's face from the corner of his eye, wanting to see Zhang Zhong's reaction.

"Lin Qi is indeed in my residence. I don't know why the servant suddenly wants to see him?"

Zhang Zhong looked suddenly enlightened, put down the cup in his hand, and looked at Mr. Lou, as if he understood something.

"It's nothing, just asking for something, and please let Xiangye do it!"

How dare the servant make trouble in the prime minister's mansion, even if he finds someone, he must get the consent of the prime minister, without Zhang Zhong's permission, it is impossible for him to meet Lin Qi.

"It's just such a small matter, I'll send someone to let Lynch come over now!"

Zhang Zhong nodded to Mr. Lou, and the latter quickly went to make arrangements, only then did the scene of Lynch in the courtyard be brought over by a guard.

Afterwards, the two chatted without talking, and talked about some irrelevant things, which were nothing more than official affairs. After hanging around for a long time, they naturally have the ability to deal with it.

"Master, Mr. Lin is here!"

The guard walked in, saluted Zhang Zhong, then bowed and stood where he was.

"Let him in!"

Zhang Zhong gave an order, and the guard walked out quickly, and then Lin Qi walked in with big strides, not looking at the servant, but at Zhang Zhong and Lou Lao.

"The younger generation has seen Master Xiang!"

Lin Qi saluted Zhang Zhong, directly bypassing the servant, and deliberately turned a blind eye to pretend not to know him. After all, he only glanced sideways at the servant last night, and the latter did not see Lin Qi. .

"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Liu Chun, the servant of the Criminal Department of Qingyun Kingdom—Master Liu!"

Zhang Zhong pulled Lynch and introduced the two parties. There was a cheerful smile on his face. Lynch was confused and seemed a little dazed. As for what was going on in his heart, only Lynch knew best.

"Junior Lynch pays homage to the servant!"

Lynch bowed and saluted very politely, stood up, and then stepped aside.

"Sure enough, he is a good-looking talent, no wonder he is appreciated by the Prime Minister!"

Liu Chun said something against his will, praised Lynch, and then sat down.

"My lord servant is flattered, and this junior is flattered!"

Lynch was a little apprehensive. After all, he was the servant of the Ministry of Punishment and had a great official authority. When ordinary people saw it, they would feel a certain amount of pressure. Even if Lynch pretended, he had to pretend to be seen by others.

"Lynch, you don't need to feel pressured. Your servant just wants to ask you a few questions. After you finish asking, there's nothing else to do with you!"

Zhang Zhong spoke suddenly, stroked his beard, and sized up Lynch. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that Lynch's performance was beyond his expectations.

If Lynch showed strength as soon as he came in, wouldn't it be telling everyone that there is no silver 300 taels here, and he has a great enmity with the servant.

From the very beginning, Lynch remained terrified and terrified. This was a natural expression. On the contrary, he felt that Lynch was from the bottom of his heart, not pretending to be a deliberate act.

If he pretended to be calm, he would show his feet instead. Lynch's acting talent was so superb that he never expected it to be.

"I don't know what the servant wants to ask me?"

Lin Qi raised his head and looked at Liu Chun, and found that the latter was also looking at him, but there was a chill in his eyes, Lin Qi's eyes met his, and then his eyes shrank, Lin Qi's pupils suddenly tightened .

From the eyes of each other, I saw a trace of killing intent. Even if Lin Qi was covering up, he couldn't cover up everything in his heart. Liu Chun had met countless people, so of course he could tell it at a glance. Lynch's eyes flashed just now The murderous look that passed.

"Can you tell me what you were doing last night?"

Liu Chun's pupils returned to normal, and suddenly asked Lynch, wanting to know what Lynch was doing last night.

"Master Shi Lang asks this why, are you also interested in my private life? But I don't have this interest in men!"

Lin Qi was confused, and suddenly said something that nearly broke everyone, and even said that he had no interest in men in that way, Zhang Zhong drank the tea in his mouth and almost spit it out.

The guards standing on both sides held back their laughter, the expressions on their faces were distorted, but they didn't dare to laugh.

"puff!"

After all, some people couldn't help it, and burst out laughing. Zhang Zhong gave the guard a hard look, but there was no sense of blame in his eyes.

Liu Chun's face suddenly became gloomy. This Lynch was deliberately against him, even trying to smear his identity, and he couldn't hold back.

"Lynch, please respect my question!"

Liu Chun forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. It was dark and windy last night. At that time, few people saw Lynch. They just took a quick glance, and finally drew a portrait, which looked a bit like Lynch. He only found the Xiangfu this morning.

"Ahem... I'm sorry, if the servant doesn't want to hear it, I can't help it. This is my private matter. I have the right not to sue you!"

Lynch's answer is no problem. This is a matter of personal privacy. Why should I tell you, what are you?

The guards behind Liu Chun couldn't stand anymore, and suddenly there was a murderous look on their bodies, and they came straight to Lin Qi. After all these years, Lin Qi was the first one who dared to speak to the servant like this.

"Lin Qi, since it's Mr. Minister Minister who asked the question, the answer is truthful. If personal privacy is involved, you can avoid the serious and take the light!"

The smile on the corner of Zhang Zhong's mouth became more and more intense, and he also liked Lynch more and more. He liked him very much. With just a single mouth, he could make Lord Shi Lang feel ashamed. There are only a handful of people in the entire imperial city who can do it.

"Yes, Mr. Xiang!"

Lin Qi could not give face to the servant, but he wanted to give face to the Prime Minister. Since it was the Prime Minister's request, Lynch would naturally do so.

"Last night, I ate a bowl of Lingtang noodles, drank a little wine, and chatted with the maid for a while. As for the content, I will not disclose it because it involves a lot of privacy issues. Then I went to the latrine and went back to the room. Sleeping until dawn, are you satisfied with the answer to the servant?"

Lin Qi's answer completely broke down the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Someone suddenly burst out laughing. Lin Qi's reply was obviously intended to anger Liu Chun.

"Lynch...you!"

Liu Chun was out of breath and stood up straight away. Lynch even said about going to the latrine, and even described it, which made Liu Chun unable to sit still.

"Lynch, please answer my question well! Where did you go last night!"

Liu Chun's complexion became more and more unsightly, and he wanted to strike if there was a disagreement.

"Master Shi Lang is so majestic. I am just a commoner. Don't scare me, Sir. I am very timid, especially at night. I dare not walk at night. I have never been to other places except the yard."

Lin Qi's words were insinuating, since he said that Mr. Minister didn't take Xiangye seriously, you are in the Xiangfu, so you dare to speak such nonsense, and if you were outside, you would not take Xiangye seriously.

In the following paragraph, he cleverly put himself in the Prime Minister's house, and there was something in the words, even Lou Lao who stood silently by the side nodded secretly.

Liu Chun regarded himself as the master, and interrogated the people in the Xiangfu here. If the Xiangye hadn't suppressed him, Mr. Lou would have issued an order to evict the guests.Where to put the Prime Minister, Lin Qi's words were deeply liked by the people in the Prime Minister's House.

Liu Chun was so angry that he gritted his teeth, only to realize that he had lost his composure. The Prime Minister was still there, so he launched his official authority, which really embarrassed the Prime Minister.

"Master Xiang, I was a little impulsive just now, please don't mind!"

Liu Chun hurriedly apologized to the Prime Minister. It is a taboo to make noise, especially the fight between officials. Liu Chun has gone too far.

"I understand that Mr. Minister is anxious, but there is nothing wrong with Lynch's answer. I can testify last night that Lynch played chess with me until midnight, and I personally watched him return to the yard!"

Zhang Zhong stroked his beard, and suddenly said that Lynch played chess with him until midnight last night, which surprised Liu Chun.

Last night, Lynch broke into the Minister's Mansion in the first half of the night. If it was true what Xiangye said, wouldn't Lynch have been staying in the Minister's Mansion last night, and the time was not right.

"Since that's the case, then I will interrupt. Please take care of today's matter!"

Liu Chun knew that if he continued to ask, he couldn't find anything, and there was no substantive evidence. It was almost impossible to arrest someone from the prime minister's mansion, so he had to stand up.

"I don't care about such a trivial matter. Your servant is overthinking. If that's the case, then I won't keep it!"

Since Liu Chun proposed to leave, it is not easy for Zhang Zhong to stay, and today's conversation is full of gunpowder, if the discussion continues, it is estimated that the conflict will intensify.

Before Liu Chun left, he gave Lynch a hard look. Regardless of whether it was Lynch's fault last night or not, based on what happened this morning alone, the servant Liu Chun would not let Lynch go.

To embarrass him in front of so many people, or in front of a group of guards, he definitely couldn't swallow it.

"Master Minister, if you are really interested in my personal affairs, I can recommend you to a place that will satisfy you."

Lynch came out suddenly and said something to Liu Chun, who almost staggered with anger.

"I think Longyang Tower is more suitable!"

Lynch did not forget to add that the guards behind him laughed out loud.
