Chapter 271: Treat others in their own way
She closed the window and thought about tomorrow, feeling a vague sense of anticipation in her heart.
Lin Zhiqing started preparing the newspaper as soon as he returned.
The reason why she chose this time to deliver the newspaper was because she knew the power of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Unless there is a way to restrain Zhenyuan Hou and Jiang Liuyun, otherwise, the news is likely to be suppressed by the other party.
Moreover, Lin Zhiqing wanted to confirm whether there was anyone else involved in this matter besides the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
One night is enough time for things to ferment.
That night, except for Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang, the rest of the Lin family members could not sleep.
I finally waited until the sky turned pale.
Lin Congli and Lin Congyan had been waiting for the court officials to arrive since early morning.
Even if Lin Zhiqing had warned them in advance and asked them to pretend that they knew nothing.
There was nothing unusual on their faces, but their behavior inadvertently revealed their nervousness.
Lin Zhiqing finally arrived after breakfast.
However, they waited for a long time and no one came to visit.
Lin Zhiqing knew that something must have gone wrong during the morning court session.
Because treason is a serious crime, whether it is to suppress rumors or re-examine an unjust case, court officials need to conduct rounds of discussions.
There is no conclusion yet, which means the discussion is not over yet.
Lin Congyan was unsure and asked, "Zhiqing, should we continue waiting?"
Lin Zhiqing flipped through the policy paper in his hand and tapped the table with his fingertips: "No need. I told you to go back and wait before, but you just refused to worry."
Lin Congli's face was serious: "Such a big thing, how can others not worry about it except you and Yangyang?"
"Speaking of cousin, uncle, and fourth uncle, you really should learn from him." Lin Zhiqing smiled and lowered his voice:
"My cousin is no longer in the mansion."
Hearing this, Lin Congli frowned immediately: "What? She's not at home, and she's still running out at this time. How can she be so rude!"
"Uncle, don't get excited." Lin Zhiqing held his forehead.
"I asked her to leave."
"We can't really wait for the court to show up before analyzing their attitude, right?"
"My cousin is a skilled martial artist, and she won't be discovered by the guards at the Dali Temple. It would be best if she could go out and get information."
When it comes to these things, Lin Congli is speechless.
The Lin family has no one in the court, simply because they are incompetent.
Now he can only place his hopes on the younger generation, and his old way of doing things comes out again.
As they were talking, Aunt Mu came over to report:
"Miss, Miss Yangyang is back."
"Please invite my cousin up here quickly." Lin Zhiqing waved his hand.
After Lin Yangyang entered the room, she couldn't wait to take a sip of tea:
"I'm so thirsty! I've been running around for half the day and I didn't dare show up. My throat is about to smoke."
"But at least it wasn't a wasted trip." Lin Yangyang put down the teacup:
"Everyone out there is talking about that limerick."
"Are there more believers or non-believers?" Lin Zhiqing asked.
Lin Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "The majority of people don't believe it, but there are also some who think the Zhenyuan Marquisate isn't as kind as it appears. I'd say it's 70/30."
This ratio was within Lin Zhiqing's expectations.
Apart from anything else, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is a well-known and prestigious family in Shengjing City.
Whenever natural disasters or man-made disasters occurred, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion always provided free porridge and food, which earned it a good reputation.
Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills.
Although the Zhenyuan Marquisate is hypocritical, for the common people, such people are much more trustworthy than the traitorous Lin family.
"The bigger the matter, the better. The higher-ups won't just sit back and watch." Lin Zhiqing was afraid that no one would know about this.
It's a good thing that someone spreads it, whether it's good or bad.
Lin Yangyang scratched his head and said, "The reason why some people don't believe in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is probably because of your marriage with him."
"Marriage?" Lin Congyan frowned. "What does this have to do with whether I believe Third Brother is collaborating with the enemy or treason?"
Lin Yangyang curled her lips: "Those blind people said they didn't believe that the Zhenyuan Marquisate would be interested in a daughter with no talent."
"From this point of view, it seems that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is indeed a performance."
"Ridiculous!" Lin Congli shook his sleeves. "Although our Lin family has fallen on hard times, we are still a legitimate marquisate. Besides, Zhiqing is smart and clever. They..."
"Uncle." Lin Zhiqing interrupted him, "Why would you bother with a bunch of people who don't know the inside story?"
“This is actually a good thing.”
Sure enough, no matter where you are, there are many people who pay attention to gossip.
Lin Zhiqing waved towards Lin Yangyang:
"Cousin, go to Baizhenlou in the East Market and ask them to rewrite a newspaper."
Lin Yangyang came over: "No problem, what do you want to write?"
"Just write: Boom! The one Jiang Liuyun, the son of Zhenyuan Marquis, likes is her! And the small characters below it will say that during the Spring Banquet, Jiang Liuyun helped Princess Pingning pick up the fan."
"The fan is white, with rivers and seas embroidered on it."
"Let them write something more corny." Lin Zhiqing did not forget to remind them.
Such behavior is intended to make the people think that Jiang Liuyun has a private relationship with Princess Pingning, thereby deepening the impression that Jiang Liuyun dislikes himself.
Only in this way can it be more consistent with the deliberate engagement with the orphan girl in the doggerel.
Princess Pingning is not a good person anyway. If she heard this news, she might even thank Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing took off the Wangshu Mirror from his waist and put it in Lin Yangyang's hand.
Seeing this scene, Lin Congli and Lin Congyan looked at each other and both noticed something unusual.
They were not unfamiliar with the name Baizhenlou, which was a famous jewelry shop in the East Market.
Previously, they did not know what the relationship between this place and the Lin family was, but the doggerel poem originally came from there.
In other words, that place was used by Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing observed the expressions of the two, but she didn't say much.
The last time she went to Bianliang, Lin Qingshan gave her many secret things of the Lin family.
Among them is Wanzhen Tower.
To be precise, these places should have been bought by her parents in the past, and Wangshujian is the key that drives them.
It has to be said that this place is very deeply hidden. Lin Zhiqing had never discovered any clues before, but now he has put it to use.
As her thoughts flowed, Lin Yangyang came back after a while.
From the gloating expression on her face, it can be seen that this method is quite effective.
If it weren't for Lin Yangyang's inquiries, Lin Zhiqing would never have thought of this.
Who doesn't know how to spread rumors?
Now, I only look at the court...
Lin Zhiqing looked outside the courtyard gate and took a deep breath.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long.
Nearing midnight, a familiar sound of footsteps was heard outside Shuqing Pavilion.
Lu Huai is here.
He came with news.
The first sentence he said made Lin Zhiqing feel a little surprised.
"Ah Qing, the court officials have been arguing a lot today. The Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have yet to express their views on whether to re-examine Uncle Lin for treason."
