Chapter 263 The Lin family attacks!

She said this with absolute certainty.

Lu Huai smiled lightly: "Since you know what's going on, I feel relieved."

Lin Zhiqing also smiled, and then said, "What happened between you and him after I left that day?"

"Thanks to your arrangement, he was unable to display his full strength when Yun Feng fought him." The scene at that time reappeared before Lu Huai's eyes:

"He exchanged a few moves with Yun Feng, and I assisted him with archery. The two of us were going to take his life."

"Maybe he saw me and didn't want me to discover his identity, so he held back in the fight."

"After I got the things back, his people also arrived."

Lu Huai frowned:

"He brought a total of 20 to 30 people with him. Yun Feng and I had no choice but to temporarily avoid the attack and escape to Hengzhang."

"Calculating the time, he should need to recuperate. His movements should be slower than mine. He hasn't returned to Shengjing yet."

Lin Zhiqing nodded:

"I believe your judgment. However, since he doesn't want you to know his identity, how did you guess that he was Jiang Liuyun?"

"Ah Qing, I didn't know him well enough to mistake him for the young hero praised by everyone in the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion." Lu Huai said without hesitation:

"At the beginning, I really regarded him as a friend I could get to know."

"I know every move he makes very well."

How could someone who lives with you day and night not see it?

Lin Zhiqing could understand Lu Huai's meaning. After all, she herself hadn't seen Jiang Liuyun's true face at first:

"He acted very well."

Lu Huai shook his head: "I think his ability to disguise himself must have something to do with Liu Mang, who is proficient in the art of psychic analysis."

"Do you still remember that arrow he shot that missed?"

"Also, when you were framed for poisoning Lin Yangyang, the only witness, Biluo, was the only one who had contact with Brother Shi'an."

"When I visited Liu's mansion at night, I almost fell into the hypnotic circle of the pitcher plant dripping method, but he was not affected."

Lu Huai is not stupid.

On the contrary, he is extremely smart.

After recognizing Jiang Liuyun, Lu Huai thought about his past experiences again.

His thinking is not much different from Lin Zhiqing's.

"These things are indeed related to him." Lin Zhiqing confirmed his statement:

"I'm afraid he will attack the Lin family after he comes back."

"When Nanyue came to find me, I was still in Yongqing. Yongqing did hide something."

"Is it related to Jiang Liuyun?" Lu Huai asked.

"That's right." Lin Zhiqing nodded. "This matter is of great importance. I can't announce it for now, but I will take action in the next two days."

"You just finished your work with the Ministry of Revenue, and you were previously very close to the Lin family. The court is keeping a close eye on you, so stay out of this for now."

When the Ministry of Revenue was mentioned, Lu Huai frowned slightly.

He nodded: "Don't worry, I came here secretly today with the same idea in mind."

"Since Jiang Liuyun wants to kill you, he must be afraid of you or the Lin family. He won't let it go."

"He might still have leverage over the Lin family."

"If I show up, he might seize the opportunity to plot against me. Then, no one will be able to stand up for the Lin family."

"Ah Qing, a storm is brewing in Shengjing City. I will hide in the dark and guard your chess game."

"Okay!" Lin Zhiqing smiled.

The moment their eyes met, they understood each other's inner thoughts.

After talking with Lin Zhiqing for a stick of incense, Lu Huai and Yun Feng disappeared into the dark corner of the Lin family.

Lin Zhiqing focused on asking about the Ministry of Revenue.

Then she stood by the window and looked for a long time before closing the window.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

Now she can let go of her worries about Lu Huai a little.

Now there are only two problems left to be solved.

First of all, there are the imperial gifts.

The difficulty of this matter is comparable to that of overturning Lin Congrong's verdict.

The key to the imperial gift is nothing more than two or three things, as well as the wounded soldiers and generals who benefit from it.

Needless to say, the injured, sick and disabled will die or go missing, and they cannot serve as key evidence.

Not to mention anything else, the three imperial gifts that were sold could not be taken back.

Because those who trade with the Lin family know the value of the imperial gift, this thing can save lives at critical moments!

Those who were smart enough had already resold the items.

Lin Congli and Lin Congyan were busy for so many days but still found no trace.

As for overturning Lin Congrong's verdict, Jiang Liuyun currently does not know that Lin Zhiqing has already learned the truth about his father's murder.

This is the only point that Lin Zhiqing can take the initiative to make a fuss about.

But this article is not something that can be written just because you want to.

Because she had to first resolve the issue of the imperial gift before she could free up her hands to redress her father's grievances.

But the current problem is that the issue of the imperial gift cannot be resolved in the short term.

This led to a stalemate.

If Jiang Liuyun takes action against the Lin family because of the imperial gift, the Lin family will have almost no ability to fight back.

Lin Zhiqing frowned. Is there any other solution?

Of course there is an answer. Diverting the attention of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is one way, and proving that the Lin family has never received any imperial gifts is another way.

But both of these methods are very risky.

Especially the latter.

The three imperial gifts of the Lin family were secretly bestowed by the late emperor on grandfather Lin Qingshan.

Even though most people in the court, including the emperor, don't know the details of what happened, this matter should have been recorded in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites.

But it's not very clear.

Lin Zhiqing from the Ministry of Revenue could still ask Lu Huai for help and give it a try.

This is also the reason why she and Lu Huai got to know the Ministry of Revenue.

Moreover, during the conversation with Lu Huai just now, Lu Huai made it clear that he has great control over the Ministry of Revenue.

As for the Minister of Rites, he has never been close to the Lin family...

No, wait.

Lin Zhiqing stood up quickly.

She had forgotten that she was not unfamiliar with this Minister of Rites.

Lin Zhiqing took out a letter from the box he had carefully kept and smiled.

She knew how to destroy the Ministry of Revenue's records of the imperial gifts to the Lin family.

Moreover, she also knew how to divert the attention of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

She thought of a foolproof solution!

The imperial gift must never be shown to anyone.

Because the Lin family had no evidence to prove that the imperial gift was still there.

Therefore, what she had to do now was to keep them quiet and destroy the evidence that the Lin family had ever owned the imperial gift.

In other words, she must silence the three forces.

The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the national treasury and directly allocated the imperial gifts.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for conferring awards and directly draws up the reward list.

The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is eyeing the Lin family covetously, holding the only leverage over the imperial gift.

Lin Zhiqing had thought of ways to deal with all three.

Not only the imperial gifts, but also Lin Congrong's treasonous behavior will be revealed.

She wants to declare war on the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion!

That night, Lin Zhiqing knocked on the doors of each room in the Lin family's courtyard and sent two letters to Yunnan and Bianliang overnight.

The next day, the lights in the main hall of the Lin family had just been turned off.

At the same time, at the gate of Shengjing City, Jiang Liuyun, the prince of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, entered the city!
