Chapter 270 Frankness
The Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was trapped and was unable to stop the spread of the doggerel in the first place.
With the help of storytellers, beggars and others, this doggerel became a hot topic in Shengjing City within half a day.
The ignorant children quickly began to recite this doggerel.
Most people first became interested in this paper because of the sentence "Jiang Liuyun's true love is actually her."
As the object of admiration of most young ladies, Jiang Liuyun indeed has a great influence in Shengjing City.
Moreover, people's passion for gossip is difficult to reduce.
And this is also the real intention of Lin Zhiqing quoting the seemingly plausible title.
Expand your influence!
Compared to directly stuffing the rumor that Lin Congrong was collaborating with the enemy and treason into the mouths of the people, it is better to use a seemingly plausible title to arouse people's curiosity first, which is conducive to the spread of news.
In the past, as a 5G surfer, Lin Zhiqing had read a lot of marketing accounts.
She hates that kind of clickbait.
At that time, she had never thought that she would travel to Dasheng, and at this time she showed the essence of a marketing account.
The content and format on the rice paper are inspired by the format of "newspaper".
One advantage of newspapers is that they have novel layouts, clear structures, are smaller in size than ordinary books, and have a wide distribution range.
Lin Zhiqing wanted to spread this news in a short period of time, and using newspapers was undoubtedly the best way.
At this moment, the Lin family members were all holding their breath, but they still had to do what they had to do.
This was what Lin Zhiqing had reminded everyone in advance, but the entire Lin family seemed to know nothing about it.
As the sky grew darker, Lin Zhiqing ate a little more dinner, which was rare for him.
She returned to Shuqing Pavilion early, sent the servants away, and set up the windows.
After sitting quietly for a quarter of an hour, there was a slight noise outside the window.
After a while, Lu Huai's face appeared outside the window.
He walked into the house with a familiar look on his face. "There are three times more people watching the Lin family than usual. I see it's not just the Lin family, there are also quite a few other forces."
Lu Huai sat down as he spoke, while Lin Zhiqing looked out the window for a while, making sure that there was no suspicious person outside before closing the window.
"With so many people here, why did you take the risk to come here?" Lin Zhiqing also sat down.
"You must be worried about the news outside. I'm afraid you'll be anxious." Lu Huai said softly:
"Ah Qing, how did you know I would come?"
Lin Zhiqing smiled slightly: "Now, apart from the Lin family, the ones who care about me the most are you and Nanyue."
"Besides, I thought you were curious about that limerick."
"Did you spread the doggerel?" Lu Huai asked directly.
He frowned slightly.
There was nothing to hide about this matter. Lin Zhiqing nodded and caught Lu Huai's expression: "Do you think my actions are inappropriate?"
"There is indeed something wrong." Lu Huai raised his head and stared at Lin Zhiqing closely: "Why did you hide it from me? It's better for me to handle this matter than for you to do it yourself."
"You...you don't doubt the authenticity of this matter?" Lin Zhiqing was a little surprised.
Hearing this, Lu Huai frowned: "Why not believe this? I really can't understand some of the things Jiang Liuyun did."
"Now that I know Uncle Lin was framed, a lot of things start to connect."
"Besides, you won't do useless work."
"If this sort of thing were to happen at this time just to cover up the matter of the imperial gift, the risk would be too high and the return too low."
Lu Huai is a very rational person and thinks about everything based on logic.
More importantly, he was very familiar with Lin Zhiqing, and he didn't believe that Lin Zhiqing would use such a big thing to suppress another matter.
Unless, this is true.
Or perhaps, Lin Zhiqing's original intention was to use Jiang Liuyun and others to focus their attention on the imperial gift, and use this as leverage to expose the matter of treason and treason.
Her real purpose was to overturn Lin Congrong's verdict.
"Lu Huai, you are indeed very smart." Lin Zhiqing did not hesitate to praise him:
"Before you came back, I went to Yongqing and got some clues about my father's treason."
"But the person who provided the clue is dead. I don't have solid evidence and can't bring the murderer to justice."
"This matter cannot be delayed. If it continues like this, the Lin family will be plotted against and my father will not be able to clear his name."
"Since I can't find any evidence, I'll expose the matter. Only by exposing it can the attention of the Zhenyuan Marquisate be diverted, and who knows, it might even reveal its true intentions."
"I want to take this opportunity to find evidence and overturn my father's case." Lin Zhiqing stated his purpose without reservation.
After saying that, she stared into Lu Huai's eyes.
Lu Huai chuckled: "A Qing, you're telling me everything, don't you want me to get involved?"
Yes, this is indeed Lin Zhiqing’s true thought.
She didn't want to implicate innocent people.
Lu Huai is also included.
Getting the answer from Lin Zhiqing's eyes, Lu Huai simply spoke:
"You don't have to think like that. Your business is my business."
He paused for a moment before speaking again:
"Whether it's me, my sister, or my father, they all always stand on Lin Zhiqing's side."
It’s not the Lin family, but Lin Zhiqing.
After a moment of silence, Lin Zhiqing smiled and said, "This is truly the best thing I've heard recently."
"Since you've said so, then I'd like to thank you first, on behalf of myself and my father."
The girl's clear eyes were like a spring of water, and Lu Huai couldn't take his eyes away:
"There's no need to talk about this between you and me, Ah Qing. Once this matter is settled, I have something to say to you."
"Bang!"
As soon as he said this, Lu Huai could clearly feel his own heartbeat and he looked away.
"I have something to say to you too." Lin Zhiqing's eyes did not move at all.
Although it was not stated explicitly, an unspoken understanding had already formed in the two of them.
Lu Huai coughed lightly and turned to the main business:
"After the doggerel appeared, I paid attention to the developments in the court."
"Almost all officials are waiting and watching. Tomorrow, the throne room will likely discuss this matter."
"No matter what, someone will come to question the Lin family."
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "I understand this."
"Lu Huai, help me keep an eye on the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Revenue. We can discuss the rest after tomorrow's morning court session."
"Okay." Lu Huai agreed.
"Both of the Lin family's uncles cannot attend court. The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is my teacher. He and I will pay more attention to the Lin family's affairs."
Lu Huai was revealing the truth to Lin Zhiqing.
The Minister of Revenue is now old and will resign soon.
By then, this Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for sure.
This is also the reason why Lu Huai has a say in the Ministry of Revenue.
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "I have now broken off relations with the Zhenyuan Marquisate. Tomorrow you will pay close attention to the attitudes of those officials."
"I want to determine if anyone other than the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has any involvement in my father's affairs."
"Okay, I understand." Lu Huai stood up and couldn't help but remind him, "You must take care of yourself."
"Yeah, you too." Lin Zhiqing watched Lu Huai disappear outside the window with his own eyes.
