Chapter 292 Reveal your scars and win people’s hearts!
That’s right, it was he who gave the order to kill Aunt Mu.
Yun Jian is also his.
From the very beginning, the initiative was in his hands.
There was an endless debate in the court about whether to focus on trying Lin Congrong for treason, and he certainly couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
Lin Zhiqing's offensive was very swift. If she had not misjudged the stance of those neutral ministers, the case would have been retried.
How could Jiang Liuyun just watch something that would harm the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion go smoothly?
The neutral faction is the key link in this incident.
Jiang Liuyun had instructed Yun Jian early on to keep an eye on the Lin family and make sure they were unaware of the inside story.
But Aunt Mu might know about this, so how could Jiang Liuyun keep her?
It was Aunt Mu’s death that gave Jiang Liuyun inspiration.
He knew that Aunt Mu was very important to Lin Zhiqing, and he also knew that Lin Zhiqing would definitely find out the cause of Aunt Mu's death.
If we want to find out the cause of Aunt Mu's death, it would be a good opportunity to lure Lin Zhiqing out of the Lin family.
Therefore, even though he knew that Yun Jian's methods were not clean, Jiang Liuyun did not deliberately cover it up, and even left his shoe prints at the scene to make it even more obvious.
He knew that Lin Zhiqing would analyze many possibilities based on this, and he also knew that with Lin Zhiqing's intelligence, he would definitely be able to find Cangxianglou by following Zixiaofang.
Zangxianglou is his property, but few people know about it.
After he rescued Zhi Niang from the Ministry of Justice, she had been hiding in Zangxiang Tower.
The Minister of Justice also knew about this, but in order to repay Jiang Liuyun for saving his son on the battlefield, he could only turn a blind eye.
This person is stubborn and stubborn. Apart from this favor, Jiang Liuyun can't find any handle on him and can't completely control him.
Regarding the retrial of Lin Congrong's case of treason, the Minister of Justice has always maintained a neutral attitude, and Jiang Liuyun wants to pull him into the opposition camp.
Previously, he had no way to deal with it.
But taking advantage of Aunt Mu's incident, he asked Mole Mother to come out for a walk.
After attracting Lin Zhiqing's attention, this matter became a handle to control the Minister of Justice.
Only three forces knew about this matter: the Minister of Justice, Jiang Liuyun, and Lin Zhiqing.
The Minister of Justice certainly wouldn't think that the vested interest Jiang Liuyun would release the matter on his own. He would only point the finger at Lin Zhiqing.
Once the fact that the mole girl had escaped from prison was exposed, the Minister of Justice would be guilty of deceiving the emperor and forming a clique for personal gain.
Therefore, in order to save his life and escape punishment, the Minister of Justice will definitely choose to conceal this matter.
For him, the best way is to cooperate with Jiang Liuyun, the grasshopper tied to the same rope, and crush the Lin family and Lin Zhiqing to death.
Then, he would definitely become a member of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion faction and oppose the retrial of Lin Congrong's case.
This is what Jiang Liuyun wants to achieve.
To win people's hearts, you don't necessarily have to use coercion or inducement.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Fighting poison with poison is the smartest approach.
Of course, at this point, Jiang Liuyun's goal has been achieved.
The mole girl can also leave the stage.
The rest is good news for Zangxianglou.
Thinking of this, Jiang Liuyun's mouth curled up.
He leisurely had the carriage harnessed.
The big show is about to begin, and if her fiancé doesn't show up, the excitement will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang, dressed as men, had just stepped into the Zangxiang Tower.
The Cangxiang Tower is very grand and is twice as big as the Qianjin Pavilion. The girls inside are of all kinds and their clothes and appearance are no different from those of ladies from wealthy families.
Different from ordinary brothels and prostitutes, there is no decadent music here, but many literati who pretend to be cultured.
The girls are proficient in playing the piano and composing poetry, and with their pretty faces, they are worthy of being called confidantes.
Even the madam is young and calm, without any of the unpresentable behavior, making people feel like they are in spring breeze.
Perhaps because many important people had come to this place, when the madam saw the two young men, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang, she did not step forward at all, but casually pointed at a servant to lead the way.
After entering the private room, the servant asked the two about their preferences as usual.
Lin Zhiqing described the appearance of the woman with the mole, but did not ask directly about the mole.
After the servant left, he immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the room at the other end.
After entering the door, he bowed and saluted: "Sir, Miss Lin is here."
He repeated all the words he had said to Lin Zhiqing.
Jiang Liuyun smiled slightly, because he could tell that Lin Zhiqing was looking for the girl with the mole.
That's right.
He said, "Pick a few with similar conditions and send them over. Detain them first, and don't worry about the rest."
"Yes." The servant retreated.
The guard at the side took two steps forward and said, "Prince, Lu Huai has arrived. He is in disguise and obviously doesn't want others to recognize him."
"It fits his style." Jiang Liuyun took a sip of tea and said, "Bring in the former lover of the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and tell her to answer whatever Lu Huai asks."
"As for Lin Zhiqing, have the mole girl go outside the door and take a look around, then send her away immediately."
"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.
He was the only one left in the room. Jiang Liuyun stretched his body and felt vaguely excited.
He was really looking forward to seeing an expression of surprise and fear on Lin Zhiqing's face, and the way he would wag his tail and beg for mercy at his feet.
As for Lu Huai... Jiang Liuyun snorted coldly, a hint of gloom flashing between his brows.
He knew that Lu Huai liked Lin Zhiqing. He pretended not to know in the past, but he really disliked Lu Huai in his heart.
Thinking of this, he frowned slightly.
Why disgust?
The words Lin Zhiqing said in Bianliang suddenly appeared in his mind, "Are you in love with me?"
No, how is that possible.
Jiang Liuyun shook these words from his mind.
His disgust was not due to jealousy, but because someone coveted what belonged to him.
Even if he didn't like Lin Zhiqing, he wouldn't allow others to have any other thoughts about Lin Zhiqing.
But today... Jiang Liuyun's eyes gradually became deep, and he would help Lu Huai and be that honest and simple fiancé for the last time.
"Prince!" The guard's voice rang out from outside:
"It's done. Lin Yangyang stayed in the room on standby. Lin Zhiqing slipped out and entered the same room with Lu Huai."
Jiang Liuyun took a deep breath and said, "Got it. Princess Pingning is coming soon?"
"She's already on the way. She's disguised as a man and brought a few cousins with her. She also delivered a letter to our house." The guard handed the letter over in time.
Jiang Liuyun knew that it was a letter of denunciation.
He opened the letter and saw that its content was that his fiancée Lin Zhiqing was having a secret meeting with another man in Zangxianglou.
No man would remain indifferent after reading this letter.
His expression changed, and he walked out of the Zangxianglou with the letter.
Now Jiang Liuyun just needs to wait.
Waiting for Princess Pingning to discover Lin Zhiqing and then make a fuss.
He only needed to rush over when there were the most people and it was the busiest, and catch Lin Zhiqing and Lu Huai's affair with his own eyes.
At that time, he would become the perfect victim in everyone's eyes.
