963. Return to Qing Dynasty (68) Three in One(2/2)

The wonton shop was closing the stall. It was not the old couple before, but a middle-aged couple. They looked very happy. The guards scattered in the crowd disappeared. She frowned and called Hongzhou, "Beat a friend, go buy two bowls of wontons..."

Hongzhou looked down and felt a little enlightened. He responded, turned around and left.

The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong no longer had the interest in enjoying the scenery, so they went to the other room to sit in, waiting for Hongzhou's reply.

Not long after, Hongzhou came up, "...the guy who sold wontons, the shop's guy knows, and often sets stalls on this street... It's people from nearby villages, this is impossible to make a mistake... I asked someone just now, and said that an old couple rented their stalls and gave them five taels of silver in one night..."

As for the origin of the old couple, it is not clear.

There was no mood to stay any longer, the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong went back to the garden directly.

Unexpectedly, Hongli and the others came back one step ahead of time and were waiting in the imperial study room.

The Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong, "You go to sleep, I'll see what the evildoer is going to say."

After entering the imperial study room, Hongli knelt down with a thud, "Emperor, my son has something important to report."

The Fourth Master looked at Hongli seriously, his voice a little cold, "What's the matter?"

"The White Lotus Sect seems to have entangled my son." Hongli raised his head, his face feeling a little frightened. "My son feels that things are not simple, and it is really difficult to deal with them. He dares not hide it from him, so he asks the emperor to decide."

The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes, thinking about whether he was sincere or whether Tongtong saw him, he also appeared Tongtong. He was a little confused for a moment, and turned his face to look at Su Peisheng with his head down. He was right under the restaurant. Did Hongli appear Su Peisheng? Or did the people around Hongli appear Su Peisheng? This is hard to say.

It would be natural to judge that Tongtong and he were nearby because of Su Peisheng.

These are things that cannot be asked.

Therefore, the Fourth Master did not speak for a moment.

Hongli was a little annoyed. He really didn't mean to have any entanglements with those people. Today, he was just upset and came out to take a walk. I don't know why he got entangled by these people.

Seeing the appearance of Emperor Ama, he did not dare to hide it and explained everything in Jinan. Of course, he automatically ignored the matter of having an entanglement with the woman, "... My son felt that these people had another master, so he didn't alarm the snake at that time... I didn't find any clues for so long, but I didn't expect that it suddenly appeared today... My son wanted to find out the truth, but he responded patiently for a few words, but before he could even talk about the main business, the woman suddenly got up and left, and the son hurriedly asked where to find them. Instead, she pointed to Eunuch Su who was wandering down the Chunfeng Tower and asked her son to see, saying that if she didn't leave, her son would suffer. The son was indeed shocked at that time, but he didn't expect that Emperor Ama also came to this place. The son was not afraid of being troubled, but he had to make a hurried look and call her to see. In this way, she could trust her son's sincerity to cooperate with him..."

I don't know if it's true, but this explanation is the most appropriate one. If he was really not moved at all, he should have reported it after he came back from Jinan. It would be fine if he didn't report it. He would have never investigated any of the White Lotus Sect behind the capital for such a long time. Otherwise, Lao Qi would not have had any news. He lied about this. But the following words were really impossible to judge. He was very smart and clever to block all the loopholes. He said it openly.

The Fourth Master did not believe that Hong Lizhen would obey these people's words, but he might not have the intention of using the other party instead.

He didn't pick on it, just asked, "What do you want?"

"Son wants..." Hongli paused, "Son wants to be the emperor, don't know for the time being. If you don't worry, give this job to your son... The White Lotus Sect has existed since the Southern Song Dynasty to the present, and it is difficult to destroy it from the root... Is it difficult! My son is willing to slander them and see how deep the water is..."

Even if I lose, I will not gain anything from it.

If it succeeds, this credit is enough for a prince.

He took a step further and did not suffer any loss, so he asked for an order without any pressure.

The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and smiled, "You are my son, what can you trust... Go, just do what you said."

When Hongli left, the Fourth Master asked Lin Yutong to beat someone and stare at Hongli's mansion.

During this period, Lin Yutong in Hongli's mansion kept staring at him. As a result, within two days, news came that Wu Shulai took refuge in a pawnshop, took out a truck of things from the pawnshop, and took out a cart of things from the pawnshop, and returned home from the back door while the night was dark.

Hongli mortgaged things in the bank, but never went to a pawnshop.

So where did this thing come from? What was it taken back?

The investigators specifically measured the ruts left by this car of things on the dirt road. According to the calculation, the result was that it was a car of gold.

The Fourth Master sneered, threw the message he sent to the side, and cursed: "That's the point!"

Lin Yutong also held back her laughter, but she was afraid that this car of gold was really tricked by Hongli from the White Lotus Sect.

When these two parties meet, they don’t know who cheats on whom? These people are the same. Hongli is indeed a little confused about women, but in other places, if they treat Hongli as a fool, they will become fools.

Now, I don’t know if there is money that is not easy to praise, so Hongli got it so easily.

This family's way to get rich is a different way.

Lin Yutong ordered them to continue digging down. The pawn shop was a clue to see what was involved with the White Lotus Sect. This was really not difficult to check. Finally, after searching, I found a little person who was unknown. The only useful information for this person was Yuzhu's wet nurse's cousin.

Lin Yutong realized that this was probably something that Li Sier had been guarding, and it fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect. Now it was Hongli's hands. However, Li Sier had a hand in hiding money and put it in the pawn shop and just take some silver to redeem it. Moreover, the person he used was the relative of his son's wet nurse, not to mention that there was something unreasonable between his cousin and his wet nurse. It was a bit difficult to think about it in order to keep a backup for her son. I just didn't know why he handed over the things so easily. It can be seen that the White Lotus Sect said that worshiping the Buddha's mother is actually not a good person.

It's the beginning of the year and we're all very busy. The main thing is that we have to fight. We can't be busy with any major matters. When it comes to Hongli's mansion, Lin Yutong said that we would throw it aside first to see what tricks he can do.

As soon as Dong Xiaowan finished giving instructions, she came in, "...The Lin family matters have been found out..."

OK! You can tell that things are not simple, looking at Dong Xiaowan's expression.

All other things were pushed first, and even the child had to be asked to take the wet nurse out to play. He pointed to the chair next to him and asked Dong Xiaowan to sit down and said slowly.

Dong Xiaowan picked up the half cup of tea left over from Lin Yutong and poured it into her mouth. Then she said, "No wonder the Empress called Cha. The Lin family is really strange." As she said, she took a breath and continued, "This Lord Lin Ping is a Jinshi in the 50th year of Kangxi, and is ranked 72nd in the second grade..."

It was lucky to have a lifted rear of the car.

Lin Yutong nodded and heard Dong Xiaowan continue to say, "...Mr. Lin is from Jinan, Shandong, and his family is a farmer. Only a widow raised him and gave him a study. After passing the exam for scholars, he married Fang's daughter, the Fang family in the same village..."

"Is Fang a farmer's girl?" Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows and asked. She was really surprised. It wasn't that she looked down on girls from a farmer's family, but the feeling that Fang was not like a farmer's daughter who could not read a big word. Even after learning from Lord Lin for the past twenty years, some things were not so easy to learn. Logically speaking, she spent a long time in the countryside after getting married. It was not until more than ten years ago, after the 50th year of Kangxi that her life became more prosperous and her contact environment changed. At that time, many of her things had been taken, so how could she not leave any trace? Just say that she could practice her manners of manners, but she didn't have any accent in that Beijing movie, which was not easy.

As soon as this doubt was revealed, Dong Xiaowan admired even more, "It turns out that the Empress saw something strange. The Empress asked me to check it. If you look deeper, how close is the Yue family? Of course, you have to check it carefully. But this investigation leads to a problem. Lord Lin did marry the daughter of the Fang family. But according to the elderly, the Fang family came to fleeing famine, saying that it was originally a Shuxiang family. Later, he settled down in the local area. He betrothed his daughter to the scholar Lin Pingzhi

After that, less than a year, the old couple of Fang family and their son went back to their hometown in the south. After that, they only heard news about their parents' family from Fang family, and no one else had seen anyone from Fang family. Later, it was all about Lin Ping's success in the Jinshi. It was said that Fang family's hometown had flooded, and the whole family did not escape... The local elders praised Lin Ping, saying that he did not forget his roots, and did not leave his wife even after he reached the end... Especially after Fang family had no support from his parents..."

Therefore, the Fang family itself has unknown origins.

But why don’t others choose, just Lin Ping? Lin Ping is really talented, so they can see that this person will definitely win the imperial list?

This is nonsense!

So he asked Dong Xiaowan again, "Where is the Lin family?"

Dong Xiaowan frowned, "...Lin Ping's father was a local family. No one could tell clearly where he was. He was a peddler who walked around the streets, carrying a load, running from east to west, and would say in any dialect. Lin Ping's mother was the only daughter of the family. She originally planned to be a bride, but after all, she couldn't talk about a good young man. No one's promising son was willing to go out. Then she recruited the peddler into the door. She was able to speak eloquently and support the family, but she had no parents or brothers. It was easy to grasp such a son-in-law when entering the door, and she was not afraid of bullying her daughter..."

Therefore, Lin Ping's father himself was a person who could not tell his identity.

So is Lin Ping's choice related to his father?

Lin Yutong's heart kept moving, and he heard Dong Xiaowan continue to say, "... When the Lin family was not very wealthy, they got better day by day after entering the door from their son-in-law. After buying land and real estate, their lives gradually became prosperous. Lin Ping was born in the third year after marriage. He was born from Lin Ping, and Lin's father would take Lin Ping out for a long trip every year for about a month. He said he was going to pay homage to the ancestors of his hometown. But no one knew where he went. However, our people found a play piece from Lin Ping's childhood playmate, and the wood carved play piece was well preserved..." As he said that, he took out a small foal from the purse at his waist and handed it to Lin Yutong.

Lin Yutong took it and saw that there was a not very clear seal on the horse's hooves, which was Chu Yun Pavilion.

Chuyun Pavilion is a time-honored brand and has been operating in the capital for hundreds of years. This family has no semicolon.

"In other words, Lin's father brought Lin Ping to the capital." Lin Yutong put the little play piece aside and asked.

Dong Xiaowan nodded, "I think so too. According to this playmate, it was Lin Ping who came back from a foreign country to worship his ancestors."

Then this is not wrong.

Lin Yutong glanced at the little foal, "Did you ask when you went to Chuyun Pavilion?"

Time-honored brands have the advantage of time-honored brands. Their things have their seals, and every thing sold is unique, and there are records of who will be sold when they are sold.

Dong Xiaowan nodded, "I checked... According to time, Lin Ping should be six years old in which year, but the person sold to him was not Lin, but he was named Zhu Shun. I asked someone to check this Zhu Shun again. This person should be a person on the ground in the capital. The person surnamed Lin could not find it, but Zhu Shun should be able to find it clearly. Although he had lost his time, this person found his traces. This person originally opened a big car shop at the foot of the West Mountain. Five years ago, he couldn't continue to operate it for some reason. He closed the door and became a monk at Fuyuan Temple."

Become a monk?

"If you remember this Fuyuan Temple correctly, it's better to be in the West Mountain?" Lin Yutong asked as if she had thought of something.

Dong Xiaowan looked at Lin Yutong in surprise and replied yes.

"How far is the ancient locust tree in Xishan from the Coal Mountain?" Lin Yutong asked.

Dong Xiaowan almost jumped up, "Empress is the one who hanged Emperor Chongzhen..."

What explanations are there besides that.

Dong Xiaowan's breathing became rapid, "Is this the people who are fighting against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty making trouble? What is the relationship between Lin Ping and Zhu Shun?"

What do you ask me? Who can I ask?

Dong Xiaowan whispered: "Can Lin Ping be a descendant of the Zhu family?"

If the descendants of the Zhu family were not treated as guns at this time, they would definitely not be big.

But Zhu Shun was very interesting. I wonder if he was really a descendant of the Zhu family or a loyal minister of the Zhu family? Giving loyal servants a surname is not a novelty.

Lin Yutong thought to herself, put this section aside first, and continued to ask, "What's going on with Lin Ping's daughter? How did she enter the palace?"
