Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

In the evening.

In Linjiang City, the bustling streets gradually became lively!

Street shops opened, people came and went on the streets, the hawking of small vendors was mixed with the laughter and play of children, and the traffic was busy, so lively!

What I saw was a prosperous scene!

Occasionally, not far away, there would be a hurried figure passing by, but it did not affect the prosperity of this largest city in the south at all!

Although Linjiang City under the rule of the Linwang Mansion was not completely peaceful, compared with the turbulent situation of the Daning Dynasty, the people in Linjiang City could be regarded as living and working in peace and contentment.

At this moment, on the bustling streets, Jinxiu, dressed in a plain green long dress, was walking briskly, wandering in the bustling streets.

She looked around curiously, looking left and right, and was very curious about everything in Linjiang City!

As a native northern girl, she was very interested in all the customs and habits of the south.

Since she came to Linjiang City, she has not had the opportunity to take a good look around this prosperous city!

The prosperity is comparable to that of the capital. Whether it is the style of the city, the clothes of the people, the dialect, or the things sold by street vendors, they are all completely different from the capital.

Jinxiu slightly lifted her skirt and walked through the crowd with a brisk pace, looking at the jewelry and clothes displayed on the street, as well as those strange gadgets.

Just behind Jinxiu, there was a sword-holding girl. With a cold little face, she followed Jinxiu step by step.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, have very similar looks, but completely different personalities!

Very contrasting!

And after the two girls, Lin Jiang walked leisurely, quietly looking at and admiring the beautiful pair of girls in his sight.

Very pleasing to the eye!

The twin sisters can tell the difference between them at a glance no matter when they look at them.

Today, the two of them went out, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they also dressed up carefully. They deliberately concealed their true appearance and did not show it to others easily.

Otherwise, if this pair of beautiful twins appeared in the street in public, it would inevitably cause people to point fingers.

However, even if they concealed their true appearance, Lin Jiangnian, who was following behind, could still accurately judge who was the elder sister and who was the younger sister through their figures!

Today's weather is good, with clear skies and the sun setting in the evening, and the weather is not too hot.

Jinxiu, who was a little bored in the palace, found Lin Jiangnian and suggested going out for a walk. Before returning to the capital, take a good look at Linjiang City.

For this reason, Jinxiu also dragged An Ning!

An Ning was unwilling to come out at first. Since she was deceived by Lin Jiangnian last time, the little girl cried bitterly. During this period of time, An Ning has been avoiding Lin Jiangnian.

The little girl usually hides in the small courtyard and never meets Lin Jiangnian. Even if she meets him, she deliberately avoids him. If she can't hide anymore, she will also have a cold face and not give a good face at all.

This time, under Jinxiu's persuasion, she finally went out.

However, she hid from Lin Jiangnian as usual, holding a sword and following Jinxiu. The coldness emanating from her body could scare away people around her.

Lin Jiangnian naturally saw the deliberate behavior of this little girl, which was a bit childish, childish and cute!

He didn't take it to heart, but he hadn't figured out what happened to this little girl a few days ago! Before, he asked Jinxiu to ask around, but the girl didn't come back!

She has been mysterious recently!

At this moment, the sky is gradually getting dark. In Linjiang City, the lights are gradually bright.

Originally, Jinxiu wanted to call the princess out, but the princess happened to be in seclusion!

During this period, the eldest princess seemed to have a new understanding of martial arts, and she has been in seclusion, and it has reached a critical moment.

Jinxiu didn't bother the princess again, and took An Ning and His Highness out of the palace, wandering aimlessly in Linjiang City.

"Your Highness, look!"

Finally, as the sky darkened, Jinxiu, who had been walking around the streets of the city, finally felt a little tired.

Her delicate little face was flushed, her beautiful eyes were lively, and she was a little excited. She also had some small gadgets she had just bought from the street in her hands, and she excitedly showed them to Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian watched Jinxiu show these strange gadgets, squinting slightly, and the little girl smiled happily.

After a while, she seemed to react and touched her belly. Then, she looked at Lin Jiangnian pitifully: "Your Highness, I'm hungry..."

"If you're hungry, why are you pretending to be pitiful!"

"Of course, I want to see if Your Highness will pity me..."

"Stop!"

Lin Jiangnian couldn't stand Jinxiu's pitiful look and tone: "Let's go, find a place to rest and eat!"

"Okay, okay!"

Jinxiu's beautiful eyes brightened instantly, and she was happy and happy.

Behind Jinxiu, the sword-holding girl looked at the scene expressionlessly, lowered her head slightly, and looked away.

Pretending not to hear!

"An Ning!"

Jinxiu seemed to think of something, turned around and came to An Ning, excitedly pulling her hand: "Let's go, let's go eat!"

Before An Ning could react, she was pulled away by Jinxiu without saying anything.

The three of them found a restaurant, found a quiet corner in the store, and ordered a few signature dishes in the store.

The restaurant was not big, but the decoration was exquisite. There were customers in the store, talking about something.

The food in the restaurant is naturally not as good as that in the Prince Lin’s Mansion, but after getting tired of the delicacies in the Prince Lin’s Mansion, it’s also very good to eat outside occasionally.

Jinxiu and An Ning don’t eat much, so they were full in a short while.

Then, the two sisters gathered together, and Jinxiu whispered to An Ning. I don’t know what she was saying to An Ning. An Ning still had a stern face and didn’t say a word.

At this time, the sky outside was completely dark, with stars in sight. There were more and more people on the bustling streets, and the restaurant gradually became lively.

From time to time, discussions could be heard from the tables next door.

"Hey, have you heard? The Prince Lin's Mansion raided many aristocratic families' homes two days ago!"

"Of course I heard about it. The incident has become so serious that it's spreading like wildfire!"

"What do people say outside?"

"It's said that the Zhu and Yan families were plotting a rebellion. When the Prince Lin's Mansion went to investigate, the guards of the Zhu and Yan families resisted..."

"Hiss, doesn't that mean it's true? Did the Zhu and Yan families really rebel?"

"Isn't it? I heard that this was reported by the Lu family..."

At this point, the man lowered his voice, looked around, and whispered: "I heard that it's not important to say that there was a rebellion. The key is that the Prince Lin's Mansion needs this What an excuse to attack the noble families!"

"The Lin Wang Mansion has been patient for so long, just waiting for this opportunity... Look, the day the head of the Chen family was sentenced to exile, so many noble families were investigated, it is clear that it was planned for a long time..."

"So, our Lin Wang is determined to eliminate these noble families? !"

"I don't think this is the work of the prince, but more like the behavior of the prince... The prince will not offend so many noble families at once, but our prince is different..."

"That's right, our prince is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers..."

"..."

In the restaurant, there was constant noise.

From time to time, discussions came from the next few tables, and the discussions were nothing more than the movements in Linjiang City in recent days.

These days, Linjiang City is not at all stable.

On the day when the head of the Chen family was publicly interrogated by the government, convicted and exiled. A large number of soldiers and guards suddenly rushed out of the Linwang Mansion and attacked several aristocratic families in Linjiang City. They confiscated several aristocratic families including Zhu Yan on the charge of deliberate rebellion.

As soon as the news came out, it instantly caused a sensation!

On that day, it was said that the news that countless aristocratic family leaders in Linjiang City gathered in the Linwang Mansion to force the palace also spread quickly.

Many people were shocked!

These aristocratic family people were crazy. They dared to run to the Linwang Mansion to force the palace? !

However, the final result was also beyond everyone's expectations.

Those aristocratic family leaders who gathered outside the Linwang Mansion eventually left in disgrace. No one knew what happened in the middle, but the final result was obvious... failure!

And then, it was the counterattack of the Linwang Mansion!

Just after the Zhu Yan family was confiscated, the head of the Lu family suddenly stood up and proved the crimes of the Zhu Yan family. The evidence was conclusive and caused a sensation in Linjiang City.

The Lu family's backstab undoubtedly stabbed these aristocratic families hard.

And the matter is far from over!

Although the remaining noble families escaped the fate of being confiscated, they did not escape the investigation.

In the past two days, noble families have been investigated one after another!

The guards in the Linwang Mansion almost came out in full force, and the noble families were in a panic, fearing that the people from the Linwang Mansion would come to their door!

Everyone knew that this was the revenge of the Linwang Prince. Among these noble families, few were clean and could not withstand the investigation at all. If the Linwang Mansion really came, few would be able to escape unscathed!

But at the same time, since Wu Xian and Zhou Yu hurriedly left the Linwang Mansion in advance that day, the remaining noble families also scattered and could no longer gather together.

Facing the investigation of the Linwang Mansion, there was nothing they could do!

It’s not that no noble families have expressed anger and dissatisfaction, questioning the Linwang Mansion’s abuse of power and abuse of power for personal gain!

However, just last night, a Linwang Army of a thousand fully armed people was drawn in and entered the city overnight!

In an instant, the noble families who were still questioning the Linwang Mansion were silent.

And the leader of the Linwangfu army was Dongfang Guanshan!

After this news came out, it caused an uproar in Linjiang City!

It has been a long time since the Linwangfu sent troops into the city. And more importantly... How could the Linwang prince easily mobilize the Linwang army?

And Dongfang Guanshan was a trusted general beside Lin Hengzhong.

Now he personally led the troops into the city, what does it mean?

Is it that the Linwang Lord secretly acquiesced behind all this, or... the Linwang prince has already mastered the Linwangfu and the Linwang army?

It is unknown!

But one thing is certain, for all the families, this is undoubtedly the worst result!

...

"Look, your highness, you made a lot of noise this time."

In the restaurant, Jinxiu listened to the discussion next door and blinked at Lin Jiangnian, her beautiful eyes were smart.

Lin Jiangnian didn't even raise his head: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that the other families will turn against you this time?" Jinxiu asked with interest.

"I was a little worried before, but now I'm not worried at all."

"Why?" Jinxiu asked curiously.

"Because..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "This prince is virtuous, and I win people over with virtue!"

"Win people over with virtue?"

Jinxiu was stunned. What a mess.

When did His Highness have any virtue?

He is clearly...

"Martial virtue is also virtue!"

Lin Jiangnian put down his bowl and chopsticks and spoke slowly.

"Martial virtue?"

Jinxiu thought carefully and finally realized the meaning of His Highness' words. Then, her beautiful eyes narrowed and she smiled brightly.

"Your Highness's martial virtue is really martial virtue!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "It's impossible to reason with these noble families. Once you talk about martial virtue, you can see that they are all honest!"

Two days ago, these noble families were still making a lot of noise!

The Linwang Mansion suddenly attacked them, causing panic. Many noble families were extremely angry, and many of the powerful people of the noble families came back to the Linwang Mansion to ask Lin Jiangnian for an explanation.

They relied on their many years of foundation and connections in Linjiang City and tried to confront the Linwang Mansion!

But since the thousands of fully armed Linwang troops entered the city last night, everything has been quiet!

Those noble families who had been clamoring for the past two days suddenly fell silent.

Those who had previously clamored to fight the Lin Wang Mansion to the end and to sue the Lin Wang Mansion in the court suddenly disappeared.

Starting today, wherever the guards of the Lin Wang Mansion go, those noble families seem to have become extremely cooperative and friendly!

"Puchi..."

Jinxiu couldn't help but laughed out loud.

She rolled her eyes at Lin Jiangnian: "They are not afraid of your martial virtue, Your Highness, but they are obviously afraid of the Lin Wang!"

"Is there any difference?"

Lin Jiangnian spread his hands: "Anyway, they are finally honest!"

"Then Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"

"It has nothing to do with me next!"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly. This time when he returned to Linjiang City, he was in the limelight.

The Chen family incident has now reversed Lin Jiangnian's reputation in the eyes of the people of Linjiang City.

Now the common people outside are praising the prince of Lin Wang for not fearing the powerful and being upright, being a kind man who is truly willing to make decisions for the common people, a good prince who is truly considerate of the people, and a rare and honest lord in a century...

In short, the exaggeration is extremely outrageous, even Lin Jiangnian blushed after hearing it, wondering if someone in the palace bought him a navy outside.

And this time, the attack on the various families was also a decision agreed upon between Lin Jiangnian and Lin Hengzhong. It is not easy for Lin Hengzhong to directly attack these families, but Lin Jiangnian is just right!

Lin Hengzhong needs to maintain the dignity of being a prince, but Lin Jiangnian does not need it.

He is a young man, and young people should have the shortcomings of young people... For example, he does not know the severity of the attack!

"Let's go, it's time to go back!"

After eating and drinking, the three of them got up and left the restaurant.

The matter of Linjiang City came to an end. Next, Lin Jiangnian planned to leave with Li Piaomiao and go to the Jiang family in Jiangnan, Chuzhou, to meet the old man Jiang.

By the way, pick up Zhiyuan and Xiaozhu and the others!

The restaurant is not far from the palace. After the three left the restaurant, they saw that it was still early, so they did not rush back and wandered around the streets again.

Look at the street scenery and watch the lanterns by the lake. There are boats on the bustling lake, and you can vaguely see many talented people on the boats!

The three of them walked along the lakeside path, enjoying the scenery while taking a walk.

Lin Jiangnian and Jinxiu walked side by side. The two talked from time to time. The boy was handsome and delicate, and the girl smiled like a flower.

The remaining sword-holding girl followed behind the two with an expressionless face. Lowered her head and said nothing.

Occasionally, she would look up at the two people in front of her, glanced at them, and quickly looked away.

Then, her face seemed to be colder!

Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, the sword-holding girl lowered her head.

The next second, a sharp and thin sound rang in the night sky!

The sword-holding girl, who was originally confused, suddenly raised her eyes.

At the same time, Lin Jiangnian, who was originally talking and laughing with Jinxiu, also stopped in an instant and looked suddenly in a certain direction in the night sky.

"There is an assassin!"
