Seeing Lin Zong's reaction, Wenchang Hou immediately reacted and said in his heart, "Minister Lin, you don't know about this, do you?"
He really didn't know that even if the Lin family's power occupied half of Dayan Dynasty, they would never be able to do anything, and they wouldn't have to illegally mine the veins!
What a great sin is this?
If the Emperor and the Crown Prince's followers knew about this, the Lin Mansion would be severely damaged! Lin Zong even stood up and stared at the Marquis of Wenchang, "Tell me everything about this matter! Don't hide anything!"
Wenchang Hou was still pondering whether or not to tell anyone about this matter. Even if the Lin family was still all-powerful, Prince Yu would be the one who would ultimately ascend the throne. If he told Lin Zong, wouldn't that offend Prince Yu? But he simply couldn't swallow this anger.
Prince Yu poisoned his son, which clearly showed that he was going to give up the Wenchang Marquisate, so he took the risk.
Marquis Wenchang recounted the incident in detail, adding, "If it weren't for Prince Yu, my son wouldn't have reached this point! Furthermore, I have reason to suspect Prince Yu was the one who poisoned him!"
After hearing this, Lin Zong's face turned pale. Firstly, he was afraid that Lu Zhichen was so bold, and secondly, he found that the Lin family could no longer control Lu Zhichen.
"You go back to the mansion and rest first. I will give you an explanation for this matter." Lin Zong waved his hand with a pale face.
Seeing Lin Zong like this, Marquis Wenchang couldn't continue to make trouble. After all, no matter what, he had to rely on the Lin family for survival.
"Let's go to the old master's yard first." Lin Zong stood up and thought for a long time. He felt that he should go to the old master Lin's room first.
He really didn't know what to do about this matter.
Although Wenchang Hou was worried about his son, the prosperity of Kyoto was too tempting. He rubbed his hands and said, "Change the route and go relax first."
The confidant naturally knew what Marquis Wenchang meant. He immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and whispered something. The carriage immediately turned around and drove in one direction.
It wasn't until late at night that the Marquis of Wenchang finally emerged from the brothel, looking quite drunk. "Miss Yanhong, I didn't expect you'd become the boss after all this time! Just wait, I'll come and see you tomorrow!"
Yanhong suppressed her disgust and responded to Wenchang Hou, "Thank you for your mercy, my Lord. Take care."
"Okay, okay..." Marquis Wenchang walked without touching the ground, almost relying on his trusted guards to carry him.
However, the guards' condition was not much better than that of Marquis Wenchang. The two of them could hardly even climb into the carriage. The low-ranking guards who originally protected Marquis Wenchang were also drunk and basically could not keep up with the carriage.
"Someone, come here and drive the carriage to send these gentlemen back together." Yanhong waved her hand, called over the old man and said a few words to him, then turned around and went back into the building.
The quiet streets were only filled with a few night travelers and night watchmen, and the sound of horse-drawn carriages passing over the bluestone slabs was very obvious.
The driver turned around and glanced at the carriage indignantly. They seemed to be enjoying themselves in the brothel, and they didn't even ask him to go in and make himself comfortable. After cursing, the driver turned around.
“Whoa—”
In the middle of the street, there was a man in black holding a long stick.
"You, who are you? Do you know whose carriage this is?" A coachman in the Wenchang Marquis's mansion was arrogant and shouted at the top of his voice.
The man in black did not respond. He just stuck the stick in his hand into the ground, and the corner of his clothes suddenly moved without wind.
It was obvious he was an expert! The driver yelled, "There's an assassin!" and disappeared in a flash.
Hearing the shouts of assassin outside, the guards of Wenchang Marquis suddenly became much more sober. Only the guards in Wenchang Marquis' carriage got off the carriage normally, while the guards in the carriage behind climbed out using their hands and feet.
Before they could react, the long stick came whistling towards them. They had no ability to resist at all. The man in black was just teasing a cat and did not take their lives.
After a while, the man in black dealt with the guards. He hooked his finger at Wenchang Hou who had just climbed out of the carriage.
"Who the hell are you?!" Wenchang Hou shook his head vigorously, but he had drunk too much and couldn't wake up. He saw double. "If you dare to touch me, I will wipe out your entire clan! I will throw all the women in your clan into brothels and let everyone sleep with them!"
A trace of disgust and contempt flashed in the eyes of the man in black. He instantly came in front of Wenchang Hou and hit him mercilessly with the whistling stick.
Suddenly there was a sound like slaughtering a pig.
The sound attracted the attention of the patrol soldiers, and the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.
Marquis Wenchang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Someone came to rescue him!
But what he didn't expect was that the man in black was still beating him calmly! Every time the stick hit the flesh, it was like hitting a piece of pork!
When he saw the figures of the patrol camp on the streets, the man in black slowly retreated and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye of Wenchang Hou!
This man must be a master! I'm afraid it will be difficult to find him and take revenge! Wenchang Hou was so angry that he fainted.
The soldiers from the patrol camp finally arrived at his side. One of them checked the Marquis's breathing and said, "Boss, he's still breathing."
The team leader took a look at the carriage. From the design, he could tell it belonged to a marquis or something like that. However, the carriage looked very unfamiliar. It should have belonged to the Marquis of Wenchang who had just arrived in Kyoto.
"Send him back to his residence." The team leader waved his hand and did not want to meddle in other people's business. This Marquis Wenchang always relied on being Lin Zong's brother-in-law, and he would cause trouble every time he returned to Kyoto.
When the streets returned to silence, a man walked out from the darkness.
Jiang Siyuan's hands were shaking slightly. This was the first time he had disobeyed the rules. It felt so good to beat someone like this!
After calming down a little, he finally left this place.
As soon as he left, a young girl came out. She looked around carefully and found a jade pendant left on the ground.
This Jiang Siyuan is really just as his master said. This is his first time doing something like this, so he might have some loose ends. Fortunately, he came to see it himself, otherwise Jiang Siyuan would be in trouble.
After the girl left, the street finally fell into true silence.
The lights in the Lin Mansion were on all night long.
Lu Zhichen knelt in the ancestral hall, without a trace of regret on his face.
"Are you crazy? Or do you have a grudge against the Lin family?" Lin Zong was overwhelmed by his confusion when he saw him like this. When did this child he had watched grow up become like this? "Do you even know what kind of crime it is to illegally mine a vein?"
