Chapter 245 The Yellow Robe is Ready
The Xu family had no status in the Lin family to begin with, and because of Xu Yinghe's incident, the Lin family was almost brought down.
After the magistrate died, she fled from the government office gate back to the Lin family and hid herself immediately.
But there was no way she could hide from such a big thing, so she was put in solitary confinement.
I finally released it today, so of course I have to work hard to repair it.
Xu sat on the ground, covering her face. "Master, this matter is over. Some of the people in the prefect's family died, some were exiled, and no one will implicate us in this matter..."
She didn't understand. The Lin family had clearly suffered no losses, and she had come to deliver soup for no reason, so why was she being bullied?
The head of the Lin family was so angry that his head was dizzy, "Bah, ignorant woman, short-sighted, what do you know?"
It was all her fault, and she acted so stupid and unaware.
The head of the Lin family scolded mercilessly, "You idiot, you still think your cousin is the legitimate wife of the Duke Xuan of Qi. You took advantage of other people's interests. You think your death is not fast enough? Our Lin family has been severely damaged by you this time."
Xu's face turned pale.
She sat on the ground, muttering to herself: "I, I don't know, Master, what should I do?"
She never imagined that what she thought was a small favor would bring such a big disaster to her husband's family.
He was just a relative in trouble. Now they were all connected to the Qi Xuanhou Mansion. Saving two people like alms was not an easy task.
Why has it developed to this point?
Xu was at a loss: "Master, it's all because of those people from the Xie family. It's all because of them. If you don't behave like a prisoner, this is why..."
Feeling that the Lin family head was looking at her with murderous intent, she panicked and hurriedly tried to distance herself from the matter.
The head of the Lin family was upset and felt that he had made a wrong move by marrying his wife in order to establish a relationship with the Xie family.
"Someone come."
Patriarch Lin waved his hands in annoyance, "Take Madam away. You are not allowed to walk around the house without my permission."
"yes."
After the servants took Madam Xu away, Patriarch Lin pondered for a moment, his expression becoming serious. "She reminded me that everything started with those people from the Xie family. If we take them down, I wonder if we can appease the wrath of the Marquisate."
The head of the Lin family was pacing around in the hall: "But there is one thing I can't figure out. How could those Xie family members threaten Hou Yuanji of Qi Xuanhou Mansion?"
As soon as he thought of Hou Yuanji, he immediately denied his idea: "Impossible, Hou Yuanji is just a playboy who relied on the Hou family to sit in the position of leader. He can't do such a thing. Who were the man and woman who were brought into the government office in the first place?"
It's like these two powerful people appeared out of nowhere.
Patriarch Lin solemnly ordered, "Go and thoroughly investigate the origins of those two people. If you can find out their details..."
He didn't doubt the identities of Lu Wanyin and the other person.
But during this period of time, in order to make up for the mess of Xuanhou Mansion as much as possible, the Lin family's assets were almost exhausted.
If I could get my hands on the property of those two, I probably wouldn't have to worry anymore.
At the same time, on the way to the wilderness.
Snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.
The already difficult road became even more bumpy.
Lu Wanyin and Xie Jingci sat side by side in the front of the carriage, looking at the map in his hand. "Fanzhou is truly a place blessed by nature. There's Hulukou in front, and a mountain range stretching for a hundred thousand miles behind. And this vast plain in the middle is truly a blessed land."
According to the map, it would take more than a month to travel through the last state between Fanzhou and the wilderness.
From here, the mountains stretch out all the way into the wilderness.
Lu Wanyin was not worried but happy.
This is the training ground she wanted.
Even training these people at this time is much better than on normal ground.
Xie Jingci agreed with Lu Wanyin very much.
He put away the map and looked up at the falling snow. "If we can capture Fanzhou, our future actions will be much easier. Now it depends on how important the secret passage in the village is to the Qi Xuanhou Mansion."
Lu Wanyin has lived in the Dasheng Imperial City in both of her lives, but she still doesn't know much about the situation in the capital.
She guessed that the so-called dispute over Fanzhou was probably about who could take the position of prefect of Fanzhou.
Lu Wanyin glanced at the people around her and whispered to Xie Jingci: "Do you have anyone in the capital who can compete for the position of prefect?"
"I'm still young."
Xie Jingci was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "But if the Hou family helps, we can definitely compete."
He hadn't thought about it.
Whether the prefect of Fanzhou is a lucrative job or not is secondary.
The Qi Xuanhou Mansion has been colluding with the former prefect and the Lin family for many years, leaving behind many clues. They must let their own people take over Fanzhou.
In the past, he was unwilling to spend a lot of manpower and resources to compete with Qi Xuanhou Mansion for Fanzhou, but now it seems much easier.
Lu Wanyin pondered for a moment: "Hou Yuanji's return to Beijing this time may not be easy. If he wants to defect without any evidence, the other members of the Hou family may not agree."
"It seems that we still need to help him."
Lu Wanyin's consciousness sank into the space and she rummaged through the pile of things she had collected from the underground palace.
"this……"
Lu Wanyin was shocked.
She looked around, gently pulled Xie Jingci, and revealed a strange expression: "I finally understand why they are so nervous."
Under Xie Jingci's puzzled gaze, Lu Wanyin quietly took out a piece of clothing from the space.
There are exquisitely embroidered python patterns, pearls hanging from the waist, and even a crown.
Lu Wanyin's fingertips brushed across the gorgeous jewels on the crown: "They are planning a rebellion."
She was a little confused as to why those who wanted to rebel had to prepare yellow robes so early.
This is because he is afraid that he will not be discovered.
After you ascend the throne, the palace won't make you a dragon robe.
"I originally wanted to pick out a few conspicuous ones and take them to the capital for auction, just in case I had to scare them. But now I feel like there's no need to pick at all."
She hadn't looked at it carefully since she brought it in last time.
I never expected that there was such a big lucky bag hidden inside.
Lu Wanyin tapped the dazzling ruby and said, "General, you are very strong. Take this thing off of me."
Although this crown is well made, it still looks a bit shabby in Lu Wanyin's eyes.
Even if she wanted to rebel, she would not bother to use this.
Xie Jingci had not yet recovered from his surprise, but he followed Lu Wanyin's instructions, easily crushed the base, and took out the ruby intact.
Lu Wanyin took it, thought about it, and then took out two extremely luxurious pieces of jewelry.
She handed them all to Xie Jingci and said, "Send these three items to the largest auction house in Beijing for auction. I remember that they hold a large auction every March. If we send them back to Beijing now, we should be able to catch it."
"Have Hou Yuanji use his connections to get these things on the auction list on the last day."
"Hou family, they should be able to do it."
