Chapter 268 Life goes on, acting never stops
As soon as these words were spoken, the first person to frown was Jiang Liuyun.
Even Zhou Chongzheng frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised.
He thought that the flute player would hide in the Lin family or the Lu family, but he never expected that he would appear in the Jiang family.
No!
Not just him!
Everyone thought that the Dali Temple was just going through the motions at the Jiang family today and wouldn't find anything.
But the flute player happened to appear at the Jiang family.
Soon, the bailiff brought up the white-haired flute player.
He was unconscious, but still breathing.
Just as the guards and the steward were about to speak, he raised his hands to stop them.
At this point, he realized that he had fallen into Lin Zhiqing's trap.
The person was found in the Jiang family, so it is useless to make any more excuses.
At this moment, his mind was turning quickly, and he immediately cupped his hands:
"Master Zhou, since this flute player is from the Jiang family, I will definitely not tolerate evil."
"There are many strange things about this matter. The Lin and Jiang families are most likely framed by the person stirring up trouble behind the scenes."
"My father not only taught me martial arts, but also taught me the importance of loyalty to my king. I hope you will immediately conduct a thorough investigation and clear my name."
Zhou Chongzheng frowned, "Prince Jiang, there are indeed many doubts about this, but everyone can see that the flute player is from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
"I would like to close the door and refuse visitors until you find out the truth." Jiang Liuyun quickly expressed his opinion.
He could tell that Zhou Chongzheng was very skeptical about this matter.
Besides, the reason why Jiang Liuyun said those words just now was to remind Zhou Chongzheng that he had no reason to hide the flute player.
The only function of the flute player is his martial arts skills.
But both Marquis Zhenyuan and he were military generals, so how could they bring a useless waste here?
Zhou Chongzheng obviously knew this, but he had another layer of doubt in his heart.
Could it be that Jiang Liuyun found a way to hide the flute player in the Jiang family in order to help the Lin family escape punishment?
The situation was somewhat complicated, so he made a decision immediately:
"Your Highness has always been polite. If this is the case, I will quickly uncover the truth and clear your family's name."
Jiang Liuyun nodded and watched Zhou Chongzheng go away.
Just as Zhou Chongzheng was about to step out of the courtyard, he seemed to remember something and said:
"Master Zhou!"
Zhou Chongzheng turned around, and Jiang Liuyun stepped forward quickly: "Since it has been proven that this matter has nothing to do with the Lin family, can we give the Lin family some freedom?"
He's still acting!
Seeing Jiang Liuyun's worried expression, Zhou Chongzheng began to suspect that Jiang Liuyun had deliberately taken over this matter, so he said:
"Prince Jiang is indeed deeply in love with Miss Lin, but the matter has not yet been finalized. No one from either the Lin or Jiang family is allowed to leave the mansion."
According to the law, the Lin family can indeed be restored to its original state.
But Zhou Chongzheng became more and more certain that Jiang Liuyun wanted to take the blame for Lin Zhiqing, so he mediated.
He did not agree to Jiang Liuyun's request: "I will make a decision on the specific matters after consulting the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Thank you for your help, sir." Jiang Liuyun's face was serious, with unspeakable worry in his eyes.
It was not until Zhou Chongzheng stepped out of the courtyard that Jiang Liuyun's face completely fell.
He deliberately mentioned the Lin family in order to make Zhou Chongzheng more suspicious of Lin Zhiqing.
This is all he can do now.
Judging from the current situation, his goal has been achieved.
At the same time, the news that Zhou Chongzheng was blocking the Jiang family quickly spread.
Seeing the Jiang family surrounded and no one paying attention to them on the street, the Minister of Rites, who had come in person, saw that the situation was not good and quietly turned back.
In addition, the news that the Jiang family was protecting the Lin family from disaster was spreading like wildfire.
Lin family, main hall.
"Bullshit!" Lin Yangyang was furious when she heard this:
"Where does Jiang Liuyun get the nerve to spread such rumors?"
"Doesn't he know who created the flute player?"
At that time, Lin Zhiqing was reading a book. When she heard Lin Yangyang's words, her face remained calm:
"Things have developed to this point. He said so much just to make others think that the Jiang family is taking the blame for the Lin family."
"Let him flatter himself if he wants."
Lin Congli pursed his lips and straightened his back:
"Zhiqing, according to what you said, shouldn't the flute player have been taken away by that brat Lu Huai? How did he appear in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?"
As soon as this question was asked, it quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"I have Lu Huai to thank for this." Lin Zhiqing said, "He was worried that the flute player would be found by Jiang Liuyun's men if he wandered around, so he brought him back to Shengjing City."
"After discussing it with him, we both felt that since Jiang Liuyun was blocked from obtaining the imperial gift, he would definitely use the flute player's case to divert the Lin family's attention."
"So, Lu Huai and I made preparations early on."
Lu Huai went to Bianliang to handle official business for the Ministry of Revenue, and Jiang Liuyun understood this, so even if he knew that it was Lu Huai who took away the flute player, he could not point the finger at Lu Huai first.
Jiang Liuyun's purpose from the beginning to the end was to restrain Lin Zhiqing.
Therefore, this matter can only be led by Lin Zhiqing, with Lu Huai as the auxiliary.
The fact was indeed as Lu Huai and Lin Zhiqing expected, Jiang Liuyun turned his spearhead towards Lin Zhiqing.
In his calculations, Lu Huai would definitely be involved.
It’s just that Lin Zhiqing also pulled the Jiang family into it.
She knew that Jiang Liuyun was very cautious and would definitely be on guard and have someone check.
Moreover, the Dali Temple will certainly search the Lin family first, followed by the Lu family and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
The flute player is in Lu Huai's hands. If the Lu family is searched first, Yun Feng will take the flute player to the outskirts of the city and bring him back when they find the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
If we search the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion first, we will have to send the flute player to Jiang Liuyun.
If Yun Feng wants to send someone to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, he cannot do it alone.
Jiang Liuyun's martial arts skills are unfathomable, and there are many masters in Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion.
In order to send someone in without anyone noticing, two conditions must be met.
First, the timing. The flute player must be sent in when the Dali Temple is searching.
Jiang Liuyun is thoughtful and will definitely check in advance. If the two of them are sent in at that time, their mission will most likely fail.
Second, the person must be sent in without alerting the guards of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
The first point can be satisfied, but the second point is a bit difficult.
Apart from Lin Yangyang, almost no one can do it.
But the Lin family was ordered not to leave the house.
The only suitable candidate is the flute player who can barely tie with Jiang Liuyun.
In other words, their only option was to let the flute player walk into the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion by himself.
Hearing this, Lin Congyan could no longer suppress his doubts:
"Zhiqing, he has no consciousness, how could he walk in? Only your mind-reading skills can control him."
Lin Yangyang chimed in: "That's right, Lu Huai has returned your jade flute. No one else can control the flute player."
"No, there is another person who can control him." Lin Zhiqing smiled faintly:
"Don't forget, my flute was given to me by Lu Huai."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems that what Lin Zhiqing said is not wrong.
Seeing everyone fall silent, Lin Zhiqing raised his voice and said, "No matter what, now that we have won the first battle, that's a good thing."
"Take the first step? But we are locked up now and can't do anything!" Lin Yangyang was a little anxious.
Lin Congli and Lin Congyan, who were sitting nearby, couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Who said nothing can be done?" Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Congyan:
"Fourth Uncle, how's the preparation going for the copy I asked you to write a few days ago?"
Lin Congyan replied: "That thing called newspaper you mentioned? It's already prepared."
