The medical concubine arrives: Prince, don't be arrogant

Chapter 226
In order not to attract the attention of others, King Jing specially found a small boat, which could only accommodate three people and the boatman.

The boatman didn't know their identities, he only thought that they were ordinary couples going out with their maids and chatted with them along the way, so it wasn't too boring.

"The lady was born so handsome, this husband is really lucky!"

The boatman is a rough person, and he speaks straightforwardly, but he has no malicious intentions, but seeing her beauty, he couldn't help but praise her a few words.

"This gentleman is also a dragon and a phoenix, and he and his wife make a pair of golden boy and jade girl!"

After sizing up Wang Yuetong, the boatman looked back at King Jing again, but saw that he was not inferior at all.

"The boatman's reputation is too high. Me and the king...my wife and I planned to ride a horse to Rongcheng today, but unexpectedly, the lady lost the horse halfway, and now we can only go by boat."

Seeing Wang Yuetong's embarrassment, King Jing sympathized with her, so he diverted his words.

"Haha, my lady is really confused! But if you met me today, you are lucky. If you come a little later, I'm afraid I'll have to go home!"

In order not to startle the snake, Jing Wang did not prepare the boat in advance, but only found a real boatman to take them to Rongcheng.

He had inquired earlier that there were a lot of boats from the capital to Rongcheng, and the boatmen from all walks of life were about to lose their heads in scrambling for business.

It's just that when I came here today, I saw that there was only such a boat.It is early morning now, and it is said that the boatmen should all come out to do business, but the current situation is indeed a bit abnormal.

"Boatman, I heard before that there are many boatmen on this waterway, and most of them go to Rongcheng. I just saw you today, why are you alone here?"

The boatman was rowing with all his strength while chatting with King Jing.

"It's complicated to talk about. Anyway, no one here will dare to leave Rongcheng except me."

"What do you mean by this, please tell the boatman in detail."

Since they are going to Rongcheng, they need to know something about the situation there in advance.

"Hey, I told you about this, you are not allowed to talk nonsense!"

The boatman turned around and glanced at him, and unconsciously lowered his voice a little.

"This matter is all related to the Lin family in Rongcheng! I think you are dressed decently and have a correct accent. You should be from the capital. Come to think of it, you may not know much about the Lin family in Rongcheng."

When he heard that the Lin family was mentioned, Wang Yuetong, who was admiring the green water and fine willows outside the boat, couldn't help turning around and looking at Wang Jing.

"We have heard of the Lin family to some extent, but we really don't know much about it. Please ask the boatman to clarify."

Just listen to King Jing asking calmly.

"This Lin family is served by the government with nods and bows. If you stomp your feet, the whole Rongcheng will be shaken! It's a pity that I heard that the head of the Lin family is seriously ill recently. He has seen countless famous doctors but has not been cured."

"One of the doctors said that he was not suffering from any disease, but was poisoned. Think about it, the head of the Lin family was poisoned on his own territory. No, the whole Rongcheng is now poisoned. They are all looking for the poisoner!"

As he said that, the boatman sighed and shook his head, only slightly embarrassed.

When Wang Yuetong heard the news that the head of the Lin family had been poisoned, he was about to inquire about it in detail when he was stopped by King Jing who raised his hand.

"What does the matter of the Lin family have to do with you boatmen?"

King Jing didn't ask too much about the Lin family, he only asked about the boat family first.

"Hey, such a big incident happened to the Lin family, and the entire Rongcheng is now on alert. The head of the Lin family suspects that it is a good thing done by outsiders, so it is not easy to let people in and out of Rongcheng in recent days."

"So, there have been no guests these few days, and the boatmen have not come. Fortunately, I have some distant relatives with the second and grandma of the Lin family. Those who want to go to Rongcheng for everything can quietly come to the boat as long as they take my boat." Let you enter the city!"

Hearing this, Wang Yuetong finally couldn't help asking about Grandpa Lin's family.

"Dare to ask the boatman, is the head of the Lin family still old General Lin?"

"Hey, my lady has heard of Old General Lin's name, she is indeed a person in the capital! However, Old General Lin has already passed away a few years ago, but because of a disagreement with the imperial court, he did not report to the capital! "

Hearing this, Wang Yuetong's figure swayed and almost fell off the seat, but fortunately King Jing had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he supported her in time, and held her hand tightly, comforting her secretly.

King Jing knew a thing or two about the relationship between the Lin family and the emperor.

Back then, the Lin family was so powerful that they held most of the military power, almost surpassing the emperor.Later, in order to reassure the emperor, he handed over his military power, and retreated to Rongcheng, completely cut off contact with the capital, and did not set foot in the capital for several years.

And these years, the reason why the emperor has been slow to move to the Lin family is also because the old general Lin has a wide network of contacts and many followers.

Although he has handed over all his military power, he is still able to gain a firm foothold in Rongcheng, and he is supported by people in the court.With such a shrewd and talented person, the emperor would not dare to act rashly and confront him head-on.

Gradually, the Lin family seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news in the capital.

Later, the emperor also sent people to Rongcheng to check, but they did not find that the Lin family had a different heart, so they relaxed a little, and the two were temporarily at peace.

In this way, it is reasonable to say that the old general Lin passed away for a year, and the capital has never heard of it.This is probably because the Lin family didn't want to cause trouble, so they had no choice but to hide it.

"Based on this, is there someone else who is the head of the Lin family now?"

King Jing silently guarded Wang Yuetong's side, while still inquiring about news about the Lin family.

"That's natural. The current head of the Lin family is the eldest son of General Lin. Speaking of the son of General Lin, he is really as good as the old general back then. He is a good head of the family!"

The eldest son of Old General Lin mentioned in the boatman's mouth is Wang Yuetong's biological uncle, and the elder brother of his mother, Lin Xian'er.

It's just that the second grandma mentioned by the boatman is probably the second wife's mother.

"Boatman, is the old lady of the Lin family still alive?"

Wang Yuetong silently suppressed the grief in her heart, but her voice was low and hard to hide.

"The old lady of the Lin family is in good health, but now she no longer cares about the big and small matters of the Lin family, and only entrusts all matters to her son, and enjoys the happiness behind closed doors!"

The two asked such detailed questions that the boatman didn't suspect him, and only asked a few more questions as they were curious about such a wealthy family that was beyond reach.
