Chapter 274: Imitating others?
Finally, when Jiang Liuyun took this step, Lin Zhiqing felt a little relieved.
Because she knew that the Lin family's ban would also be lifted.
Sure enough, when she led her people quickly back to the main hall, a servant happened to come over to report.
News has arrived from the Dali Temple that the Lin family has nothing to do with the flute player.
All the people from the Dali Temple surrounding the Lin family withdrew.
In other words, the Lin family can move freely.
Lin Zhiqing made a prompt decision: "Zhao Yan, go tell each family not to go out casually these few days."
"Aunt Mu, go find my cousin."
In such an emergency, even Lin Zhiqing didn't dare to go out rashly.
If the Zhenyuan Marquis's family decided to go all out and kill her to put an end to it, that would be troublesome.
The two men took the order and left, while Lin Zhiqing sat upright in the main hall.
She is waiting.
Waiting for someone to come find her.
Not long after, the Dali Temple Minister came to visit the Lin family in person. Lin Zhiqing gave him half a cup of tea's time to finally arrive.
"How are you, Lord Zhou? I've been really tired from dealing with the Lin family's affairs these days, and I'm sorry for neglecting you. I hope you won't mind." Lin Zhiqing had a decent smile on his face.
Zhou Chongzheng's expression remained unchanged: "No problem."
Lin Zhiqing ordered tea to be served: "Master Zhou, why did you come here in person?"
As she spoke, Zhou Chong was staring at her closely.
Lin Zhiqing noticed it, but pretended not to know.
Zhou Chong had been in the court for decades, so how could he not realize that he and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion were set up by Lin Zhiqing.
Although he felt a little angry, when he thought about the mess that the Dali Temple was in and his own purpose, he could not utter any words of accusation.
"Ms. Lin, I came to your house to ask for a favor. I hope you can agree to it."
"Oh? Lord Zhou, why don't you tell me first, what is the matter that would make the dignified Chief Justice of the Dali Temple condescend to come to your door?" Lin Zhiqing looked puzzled.
Zhou Chongzheng had a headache:
"Somehow that flute player lost control, and now the Dali Temple's prison has been completely destroyed. If the jailer hadn't discovered it in time, I'm afraid something terrible would have happened."
His words were also a subtle reminder to Lin Zhiqing that if this matter got out of hand, it would not benefit anyone.
Of course Lin Zhiqing understood the implication of his words, but understanding it is one thing, and whether or not to listen to it is another.
Anyway, no matter how they investigate now, the matter of the flute player has nothing to do with her.
"Sir Zhou, why did the flute player suddenly attack? I am just a weak woman and I am really scared!" She looked terrified.
Weak woman?
Zhou Chongzheng simply couldn't connect these three words with the person in front of him.
What other weak woman can control a man who is like a monster?
Thinking of this, he spoke again: "Don't be afraid, Miss Lin. Your flute playing skills may be able to control the flute player."
This was the purpose of his coming to the Lin family.
Everyone was helpless against the out-of-control flute player. Zhou Chongzheng had no other options, so he thought of Lin Zhiqing.
"My flute?" Lin Zhiqing opened his mouth in surprise.
"Master Zhou, it was me who apprehended the flute player this time. No one would accuse me of harboring a suspect, would they?"
This is a veiled condemnation of the previous attitude of the Dali Temple.
Zhou Chongzheng took a deep breath and said, "Of course not."
He knew that Lin Zhiqing was sharp-tongued and good at bullying people, so he had prepared himself to be bullied before coming.
However, the next moment, Lin Zhiqing stood up neatly:
"In that case, Lord Zhou, let's go now."
"Leave now?" Lin Zhiqing's straightforwardness left Zhou Chongzheng unable to react for a moment.
By the time Zhou Chongzheng reacted, Lin Zhiqing had already left the main hall.
He hurried after him.
In this way, Lin Zhiqing got on the sedan chair prepared by Dali Temple Minister Zhou Chongzheng and soon arrived at the Dali Temple.
After she made her move, the flute player quickly calmed down.
Considering that Lin Zhiqing never does business at a loss, he is so cooperative this time.
Zhou Chongzheng asked someone to prepare one hundred taels of silver as a thank you gift and gave it to Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing didn't refuse. He put the silver in his pocket and walked out of the Dali Temple.
Zhou Chongzheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, this is bad!" The next moment, the jailer's voice came again:
"That flute player is out of control again!"
"What?" Zhou Chongzheng frowned and looked at the musician who was watching from the side.
"How, maybe blow it out?"
"Yes!" The musician was quite confident.
Zhou Chongzheng had arranged this musician here in advance in order to learn Lin Zhiqing's flute repertoire in order to control the flute player.
He didn't want to leave any handle with Lin Zhiqing and be controlled by others.
The musician held his chin high and walked into the cell with a heroic and confident look.
Soon, melodious music was heard.
After one stick of incense.
"What's going on? Didn't you learn it?" Zhou Chongzheng looked at the messy cell and frowned unconsciously.
The musician was sweating profusely: "I...I don't know. I was clearly playing according to Miss Lin's flute."
"Waste!" Zhou Chongzheng turned around decisively: "Come on, go to the Lin family and ask Miss Lin to come over!"
…
After controlling the enemy again, Lin Zhiqing glanced at the musician next to him and said nothing more.
She left after finishing her work.
This time, Zhou Chongzheng learned his lesson and asked Lin Zhiqing to stay.
Lin Zhiqing sat leisurely on the chair, as if he didn't see the musician go to the cell.
Zhou Chongzheng watched her drinking tea calmly and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
As expected, the musician returned defeated again.
This time, without waiting for Zhou Chongzheng to speak, Lin Zhiqing stood up on his own and went to the cell again to control the flute player.
Then, she didn't leave, but sat down on the chair, as if to say:
Just wait and see, it's my turn again soon.
Zhou Chongzheng was certain that Lin Zhiqing did it on purpose. Although he was angry, he had no idea how to deal with Lin Zhiqing's behavior.
"Ms. Lin, I thought you had changed your personality today, but I didn't expect you wanted to eat and take away at the same time!" Zhou Chongzheng also sat down.
Lin Zhiqing scratched her ears and said, "Master Zhou, I don't understand what you are saying. Didn't you invite me here?"
Zhou Chongzheng now finally understood what it meant to invite a god in but be hard to send him away.
He took a deep breath and said, "I know you want the flute player, but he is a wanted criminal of the imperial court. Have you forgotten that Liu Mang used him to deal with you?"
"Sir Zhou, you also know that it was Liu Mang who controlled him. Oh, no, there is a Tongzhengshi above Liu Mang." Her tone was slightly sarcastic.
Zhou Chongzheng choked.
He knew very well that the matter of the flute player was closely related to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
But the Dali Temple would never identify the son of Zhenyuan Marquis as the murderer who harbored the imperial criminal.
The fact that Tongzhengshi Zuo Da Ren was pushed out gave both the Dali Temple and Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion a way out.
When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. There have been countless similar incidents over the years.
Lin Zhiqing directly pointed out those tacitly understood dirty things, and Zhou Chongzheng was speechless for a while.
