Yangzhou government office.
The public room in the lobby.
Since Cui Liang and others were imprisoned by Su Jing, Lin Mu was the only one working here.
As for the rest of the eighth and ninth grade officials, they can naturally be ignored.
This made Lin Mu, who was not ranked first in the Yangzhou government, instantly become the No. 1 officialdom in Yangzhou.
If Cui Liang and others continue to be imprisoned, he may really have the possibility of arbitrarily asserting Yangzhou.
It’s just that for some reason, Lin Mu’s public house is silent today.
Mr. Lin, who has been showing off his head from time to time in the past few days, seems to have disappeared at this moment.
Could it be that Cui Liang and others are about to escape?
"Master Lin, my master said so.
If he is taken down by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will definitely not be able to bear the punishment of the guards of the Eastern Palace.
What the master will say at that time, but I can't guarantee it. "
In the public house.
A young man dressed as a government official looked at Lin Mu with a smile on his face.
It's just that what he said made Lin Mu's heart full of anger.
"Guo Cheng is threatening me?"
Lin Mu glared angrily.
The man smiled and shook his head.
"My lord misunderstood.
My master didn't intend to threaten at all, he was just telling the truth. "
"Humph!"
Lin Mu snorted coldly, and said, "I'm just a junior official of the seventh rank, so why should Patriarch Guo push him so hard.
Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is furious, what can I do? "
"Hehe~
Lord Lin underestimated himself too much. "
The man sneered, curled his lips and said: "Now this Yangzhou government office is decided by the adults, so what can't be done?
Thinking about it, if my lord led three or five yamen servants into the house to investigate the case, others would never dare to intervene.
And with the current status of your lord, even the guards of the East Palace guarding the door will definitely not be suspicious. "
"Master Guo really values this official too much.
This official is just a small seventh rank joining the army, so how can he enter to investigate the case.
You'd better go back and tell Guo Cheng that I really can't help you in this matter. "
Lin Mu shook his head and refused without hesitation.
The man suddenly smiled indifferently, stepped forward and said, "Master Lin, my master asked me to bring you a message.
In the past when Fengming Academy was booming, Mr. Lin was a frequent visitor.
Every time Master Lin goes to select candidates, my master will..."
"shut up!"
Lin Mu's complexion suddenly changed, and he shouted in horror.
Panting violently, his chest heaved rapidly.
The Fengmingyuan incident has become a taboo in Yangzhou, no matter who is half-contaminated, they will not be able to escape the end of being beheaded for public display.
Guo Cheng used this to force him, obviously he vowed not to give up until he reached his goal.
"Today's matter, I have agreed!
But you'd better tell your lord that this matter can never be done again.
If you dare to threaten me again, I will fight to the death, and you, the Guo family, will definitely be punished! "
The man narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the words, and replied with a half smile: "Don't worry, my lord, my master has no choice but to do so.
After the matter is completed, the master will never forget the benefits of the adults. "
"Oh~
I dare not let Patriarch Guo spend money! "
Lin Mu got up and flung off his official robe suddenly, and said in a cold voice, "Follow me!
You'd better keep your mouth shut lest anyone see you! "
"Don't worry, my lord, I'm humble."
……
The central hall and side hall of the government office.
Wu Jue was standing on a low table, commanding Brother Wu Yuanqing arrogantly.
Now the warrior Xun is still alive, and Su Jing is backing her up.
The current generation of female emperors is like a witch lurking in the world.
The grievances suffered in the past few days were all vented on Wu Yuanqing and the two brothers.
Poor Duke Ying's mansion who used to be aloof, but now he is like a servant, shrinking his head and not daring to be disrespectful.
"Young man, don't be so rude.
If His Highness sees it, be careful and have to be disciplined. "
Chen Wan rubbed Wu Jue's little head.
The little guy smiled affectionately, and whispered: "Sister Wan, you don't know how bad these two are!
In the past, when Dad went out to work, the two of them bullied Sui'er and Mother at home.
If it wasn't for Sui'er's vigilance, the two of them would have drowned Sui'er! "
"Is that true?!"
Chen Wan was shocked when she heard the words.
The samurai Xun also turned around in surprise.
Just when Wu and Yuanqing didn't know how to defend themselves.
Lin Mu suddenly brought several people to the door, bowed his hands and said, "My subordinate Lin Mu pays his respects to Ying Guogong."
"You don't have to be polite when Lin joins the army."
The samurai Xun had no choice but to put away his anger, looked at the silent Lin Mu and asked, "Lin Canjun is here now, but what's the matter?"
Lin Mu quietly took a deep breath, bowed his head and replied: "Qi report to Duke Ying.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that His Majesty was working late at night, so he specially sent someone to take His Majesty back home.
Moreover, the city is not very safe now, and the little lady needs to be escorted by guards when she returns to the palace. "
"oops!
The old husband, father and daughter just go back on their own, how dare they bother His Highness the Crown Prince.
Really flattered, flattered ah! "
The samurai Xun was delighted when he heard the words, and he replied with a loud voice.
Wu Jue frowned slightly, pouted in distaste at the five hulking men at the front of the door.
"Pu'er.
Pack up quickly, and return to the palace with the guards! "
The samurai Xun turned around in a hurry, quickly sorting out the files scattered on the table.
Wu Jue smiled slightly, tilted his head and bit his fingers innocently.
"Uncle Lin.
Jue'er often plays in the palace with her young mother and sister, why has she never seen these people?
Could it be that they are not on duty in the palace on weekdays? "
"Um?!"
Hearing this, the warrior Xun's heart tightened, he stopped his movements, and looked at Lin Mu with unkind eyes.
The latter frowned slightly, and quietly glared at Wu Jue in annoyance.
If it wasn't for the little girl's meddling, he would have escaped safely at this moment.
As for the future...
As long as he shirks himself, he will be deceived by others. What can Su Jing do with him without evidence?
"Duke Wu, don't worry.
The person who came came with the token of the Eastern Palace, and the next official had already checked it just now.
If your lord doesn't trust the officials, how about checking it yourself? "
The samurai Xun was silent for a while when he heard the words, and said with a formulaic smile: "No need, no need.
Since Lin Canjun has already seen it, he must be right.
When the Duke of the country has cleaned up, he will go with you to pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "
"My lord, please go ahead, the lower officials are waiting outside."
Lin Mu didn't change his face, and responded casually.
Seeing this, the warrior Xun heaved a sigh of relief, and turned around to greet Brother Wu Yuanqing to work together.
It's just that the samurai Xun couldn't turn his face because of the feelings of his colleagues, but Wu Jue didn't care about it.
She smiled sweetly and shouted loudly, "Uncle Lin!
Sui'er had seen the token of the East Palace in the palace in the past, and the prince's elder brother also said that he would give Sui'er a piece.
It's just that there are so many miscellaneous tasks in the palace recently, and the prince's brother forgot for a while.
Why don't you ask them to send a token to Piao'er to have a look, and Pian'er will return it to them after returning to the palace. "
"This……"
"Hahaha~"
Lin Mu frowned, tangled.
There was a burst of hearty laughter from outside.
Everyone looked in amazement.
I don't know when, Liu Rong has already quietly stood on both sides of the courtyard with a dozen hidden guards.
"Your Majesty is right.
The thief can fool Duke Wu, but he can't fool the young lady.
The old man has seen it today, the little lady is really as smart as the eldest princess. "
"Humph!
Jue'er is smarter than Li Lizhi! "
Liu Rong stroked his beard with a smile, looked at Wu Jue who was full of arrogance and disdain and nodded.
Then he put away his smiling face and turned his head, looking indifferently at Lin Mu, who joined the army with trembling legs.
"Master Lin.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already expected that the traitors would take risks, so he specifically asked Duke Wu to stay here for a while.
It's just that His Highness probably never expected that the person behind Guo Cheng would be you, Mrs. Lin. "
