Chapter 340 There is something fishy going on!
Once the thread is sorted out, the next things will be much easier.
Seeing Lin Shian's figure disappear around the corner, Lu Huai turned around and walked towards the next house.
Yun Feng waved to the people behind him, and immediately several masters came out, carrying several people who had imprisoned Lin Shian and followed Lin Shian's pace.
Yun Feng stepped forward and asked:
"Sir, you've already thought of this plan. You even got a search warrant to find Lin Shi'an. Why don't you just tell me?"
He was somewhat indignant:
"He's taken all the credit. How could Miss Zhiqing remember your kindness?"
"Yun Feng!" Lu Huai said in a serious tone, "You have more and more problems now."
After saying this, he did not stop and walked into the next house.
He didn't want Lin Zhiqing to know what he had done.
Because Lin Zhiqing doesn't trust him now and won't appreciate it.
He understood Lin Zhiqing and knew that Lin Zhiqing was a very stubborn person at heart.
If he had not used Lin Shi'an's name and went to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion to rescue Lin Zhiqing on his own, according to Lin Zhiqing's character, he would definitely not trust him.
This matter can only be successfully carried out in the name of Lin Shian instead of Lu Huai.
As for whether Lin Zhiqing remembered his kindness, Lu Huai didn't care.
He just wants Lin Zhiqing to be safe.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.
Half an hour later.
The news that Lin Shi'an appeared in the Dali Temple and accused someone of imprisoning him reached the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
The news spread quickly.
Of course, Jiang Yunhe, who was in a good mood because he destroyed Zheng Kuo's body and ensured that he had no handle, had his good mood come to an abrupt end.
This was obviously a sudden and unexpected event.
His first reaction was to ask Jiang Liuyun to go to the Dali Temple to check the situation.
Things have already happened, and it is meaningless to pursue those illusory processes now.
Jiang Yunhe's only worry was that Lin Shian knew that those people came from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and would drag the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion into trouble.
He had already erased the only flaw in himself, and of course he would not allow Lin Shian's matter to become a stain.
Now that the three courts are jointly re-examining the case of Lin Congrong, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion is at the center of the storm. If complications arise at this time, it will not be a good thing for the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion in any way.
He clearly hid Jiang Liuyun very secretly, how could he escape?
There are many hidden talents in Xishi, and his spies are everywhere. How come there was no news at all after Lin Shian ran away?
Jiang Yunhe felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it again and again, he asked his men to go to the Dali Temple to check the situation and did not let Jiang Liuyun take any action for the time being.
Lin Zhiqing is cunning. At this critical juncture of the retrial by the three courts, it would be bad if the Jiang family went to the Dali Temple and caused any controversy.
Just as his men were leaving, troops from the Ministry of Revenue arrived.
The doorman immediately reported to Jiang Yunhe.
"What, a search warrant?" Jiang Yunhe was confused. "Lu Huai got a search warrant to investigate the imperial gift. What does it have to do with my Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?"
"My Lord, Xiao Lord Lu said that this search warrant covers the entire city. If anyone dares to refuse, it will be considered as disobeying the order." The people below were trembling with fear.
"Humph!" Jiang Yunhe snorted coldly, "Disobeying the imperial order? Lu Huai is quite capable. He actually dared to come to someone's house with Xu Yuansui under the pretext of investigating the imperial gift!"
Hearing the word "looking for someone", Jiang Liuyun took a step forward:
"Father, are you saying that Lu Huai is here to see Lin Zhiqing?"
"Isn't this obvious?" Jiang Yunhe frowned.
"There are only three imperial gifts, don't you know?"
"What royal gift does he have to look for?"
Jiang Liuyun's face had a sinister look on it:
"Father, don't worry for now. The secret room is in a very hidden place in my Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. He won't find it."
"Nothing is absolute." Jiang Yunhe looked outside the mansion: "Come with me first to see what Lu Huai is up to."
The two of them quickly rushed to the front yard and saw Lu Huai sitting leisurely on a chair drinking tea, as if he was not here to search, but to meet an old friend.
He didn't move when he heard the footsteps of Jiang's father and son.
It wasn't until Jiang Yunhe came to him that he stood up and greeted him:
"My Lord, Prince Jiang, how are you both doing lately?"
Jiang Yunhe squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Huai. He saw that the young man in front of him was wearing a red official uniform and standing straight. He was actually taller than himself.
Moreover, in his previous impression, Lu Huai was a little thin, and had the literary air that was unique to scholars.
But for some reason, in just a few months, Lu Huai's aura was no longer comparable to before.
Even his facial features were sharp and angular, very much like his father, but even more handsome.
Red suits him very well.
"Of course everything is fine in my Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion." Jiang Yunhe sat in the main seat and then warmly invited Lu Huai to take a seat:
"Lu Huai, in the blink of an eye, you are becoming more and more like your father." He smiled and took a sip of tea, as if remembering something.
Lu Huai knew what he was laughing at.
This person is always good at disguising himself. On the surface, he treats Lu Huai kindly, but in fact, he finds ways to say that Lu Huai is like Lu Zhen.
Lu Huai knew his father very well. When he was young, he was very stubborn. He would not give in to what he had decided on and he could not tolerate any flaws.
He did not understand the principle that when the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and he just wanted to pursue the righteousness in his heart.
Such a person would have no place in the imperial court.
It was also because of this that Lu Zhen ended up resigning from his official position early.
Jiang Yunhe was clearly implying something about Lu Huai. If he was as unrestrained as Lu Zhen, the next person to be stripped of his official position would most likely be him, Lu Huai.
Lu Huai frowned and smiled slightly.
People in the world only think that scholars are good at intrigue and play word games, but although Zhenyuan Hou Jiang Yunhe is a military officer, there is a sharp edge in every word he says.
It can be seen that this superficial impression is ultimately inaccurate.
"Your Excellency, I am truly humbled by your praise. I do not deserve it." Lu Huai replied with a smile:
"My father is now away from the court and is quite content with his leisure time. It would be better for you, my Lord, to be in good health and roam the court while you are old."
When it comes to sharp tongues, Lu Huai is an expert.
What he said was much more straightforward than what Jiang Yunhe said, full of sarcasm, but there was nothing to find fault with.
Jiang Yunhe was not annoyed. Of course, according to his current personality, he couldn't be annoyed.
He smiled softly:
"When it comes to navigating the court, I can't compare to you, Lu Huai. Nowadays, no one among the wealthy families in Shengjing City can escape a search warrant from the Ministry of Revenue."
When mentioning this matter, Lu Huai was not afraid at all:
"There's no question of whether you should hide or not. If you have no guilty conscience, you'll naturally open the door wide for me to inspect. Those who try to hide something simply have something to hide."
"Isn't that right, my Lord?"
"Of course." Jiang Yunhe smiled brightly.
"I don't know what object you are looking for, Lu Huai, or...what is it?"
Lu Huai stood up decisively: "Will you know once you find it? Lord Jiang, lead the way."
