Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 457 Isn’t spring still early?
"what happened?"

For some reason, Lu Baichuan suddenly became interested in gossip, and was very curious about what kind of woman would make Qin Jian's old iron tree bloom.

Lou Chong didn't know what to say, and was a little embarrassed for a moment.

"If you have something to say, say it. Why are you hesitating like this?"

Lou Chong thought for a while and said: "We don't know the specifics. He went to investigate the case, met the girl, and then ran to that troupe every day. The girl was indeed very beautiful, and she had so many God, I'm very indifferent to the second master, but I don't clearly reject him either."

At this point, Lou Chong stopped talking. Anyway, he just felt that it was not worth it for Qin Jian. After all, he spent a lot of money on that girl in the past few days.

When Lu Baichuan heard this, he also felt there was something wrong. If he didn't like it, just say so. What's the point of delaying it like this?

Besides, Qin Jian really shouldn't like that type of person!
It's only been a few days, why are you so deep into it?

Lu Baichuan refused to believe it, but fortunately he still had some sense. He did not rush to pay attention to Qin Jian's affairs, but asked Lou Chong about the recent affairs in the Yamen.

Lou Chong reported the recent situation and said there was no problem.

Most of the killers caught before who ambushed He Jiuniang couldn't survive. They went on hunger strike and used their bones. No matter how tortured they were, they never revealed who Lin Yiping was in contact with in Dongting.

However, he found out that Lin Yiping was Prince Lin, and sent a letter to the capital at that time. However, He Jiuniang had already recognized it, so the news was sent too late, so it was of no use.

Lu Baichuan nodded and said: "Continue to investigate. Dongting has been entrenched in Beiyan for many years. It is impossible to retreat like this. There must be some of their henchmen, and they must be dealt with thoroughly."

"Yes!"

Lou Chong agreed, and then asked: "Third Master, when did you and your sister-in-law come from the capital? Why didn't we receive any news?"

Lu Baichuan did not answer the first question, but said: "It's not a big deal, so I didn't ask anyone to deliver the letter."

Fortunately, Lou Chong didn't hesitate and just said: "Now that we know that Prince Lin is Lin Yiping, what should your highness do next? We have no substantive evidence, and we are even worried about being bitten by Prince Lin. The emperor does not trust our highness in the first place. I don’t even like this kind of power struggle between princes, Prince Lin is not so easy to remove.”

Lou Chong and the others came back early. They didn't know that He Jiuniang was treating the old emperor, and they were still worried about King Chen's status.

Lu Baichuan looked at him and didn't know how to explain his wife's contribution to him.

During this period of time, with the help of his wife, the old emperor's view of King Chen has changed quite a lot. Although there is no change in power, it is still reflected in many small things. For example, the prince is asked to ask King Chen if he doesn't understand something. He also said that if the prince did not handle the affairs in the court, he would change someone to supervise the country.

During this time, King Chen was being favored. Someone else might have been King Chen overseeing the country.

Because of this, the prince had a very difficult time.

It didn't matter if it was a mess in the past. Anyway, the old emperor would take care of everything at all times. During this time, the old emperor actually became strict with him.

He was often called to talk without talking. He was even often checked over his articles and memorials. If he was dissatisfied with them, he would lose his temper and ask him to revise them again.

He was going crazy. Why couldn't his father be more tolerant to him like before?

Father's love also disappears, right?

But in the eyes of King Chen, these are all manifestations of the old emperor's hatred for the prince. Anyway, with the help of He Jiuniang, King Chen is not panic at all. He eats and sleeps happily every day. King Lin is grounded, and he is even more... With nothing to do, he spent the whole day wandering around the city with his wife and children, eating and drinking, which was a very pleasant life.

Finally, after stopping to speak, Lu Baichuan said: "The situation in the capital is very good. Don't worry about it for the time being. Our main task now is to collect evidence and bring King Lin down." Lou Chong was a little surprised and even found out King Lin. , shouldn’t it be dire straits now?Why do you still say the situation is good?

But this might be something he couldn't know, so he still refrained from asking.

"By the way, have you heard about the fraud cases that occurred during the provincial examination?"

"Cheating? My subordinates didn't hear about it."

Lou Chong shook his head. Their yamen was mainly in charge of martial arts. The imperial examination was about literature, which had little to do with them, so they wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

"This is really problematic."

Lu Baichuan whispered that such a big thing was kept secret. It seemed that the prefect was hiding a lot from him.

If they hadn't known Kang Xiucai, they definitely wouldn't have known about this.

"What's wrong? Is it related to Dongting?"

Lou Chong was a little curious, and Lu Baichuan shook his head: "I don't know. I just heard about it and wanted to ask you about it, but I didn't expect you hadn't heard about it."

"Your subordinate will inquire now."

As he was about to leave, Lu Baichuan stopped him and said, "Forget it, this matter is a bit strange. Don't make a big fuss about it. Let's check the situation in two days."

In two days, his wife's banquet will be finished. Then we will see if the prefect's wife knows about it.

Even if the prefect's wife doesn't know, the other wives know something about it.

Nothing would be better than him asking directly and alerting the enemy.

"By the way, Master, how come you have recovered so well from your injury? You can't find these little marks on your face without looking carefully?"

Lou Chong nodded, immediately talked about another thing, and even took the initiative to come over to look at the injuries on his face.

The two of them were so close that Lu Baichuan couldn't bear it. He took two steps back and said, "The ointment my wife made is specially designed to remove these marks. What, you want it?"

Lou Chong smiled a little sheepishly and said, "I, am I not old enough to say goodbye? This scar on my face really affects me. Boss, please help me ask my sister-in-law!"

Lu Baichuan heard him call him father for a while and boss for a while. The word "please" was clearly written on his face. What else could he say?
But what surprised Lu Baichuan was how come he only left for a while and then after he came back, one or two of them started to miss women?

Qin Jian has someone he likes, and Lou Chong, a big man, actually starts to care about the scar on his face that is not really obvious. What's going on?
Isn't it early for spring?
"I'll ask you when I go back tonight, and I'll go find Qin Jian to ask about the situation."

He patted Lou Chong on the shoulder, turned around and left.

"Thank you boss!"

Lou Chong shouted from behind, and Lu Baichuan smiled and ignored him.

But to be honest, the brothers are indeed not young anymore and it’s time to start a family.

But why did he feel that the one Qin Jian was interested in was unreliable?
