Concubine in power

Chapter 82 Cleaning Up the Mess

Lin Yinan sent Nangong Lingfeng away, and the next day he met the good doctor Nangong Lingfeng had mentioned.Asking him to take his pulse and check his body, Lin Yinan watched him walk out of his room with a smile on his lips, rolled up his sleeves, and leaned against the door frame silently.

"Master." Ling Yi stood behind Lin Yinan worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any problem?"

"What are you afraid of? If my illness can really be cured, it won't be his turn. Nangong Lingfeng just wants to confirm that my health is no better than before, and now he has fulfilled his wish." Lin Yinan turned his back to Ling Yi, the mood is very calm. "I asked you to investigate, how did the investigation go?"

"The Nangong family hasn't found the prime minister's mansion yet, but they just keep catching those traders, using all kinds of threats and lures. I'm afraid it won't be long before someone will tell you about Lu Zhiyao's appearance."

Lin Yinan was silent for a long while, then slowly turned around and looked at Ling Yi. "Find a substitute and send it to the Nangong family."

"Master, what do you mean...?" Ling Yi's eyes flickered, guessing what Lin Yinan was thinking.

"There are so many death row prisoners in the dungeon, one more is not too many, and one less is quite a lot. Bring one out, and then spread some rumors, and send someone to send the death row to Nangong's house, saying that it was the murderer that day. Nangong's family just wants to get back Face, if people find it, they won't pursue it too much."

"But the one who did it that day was obviously a woman, so what should I say?" Ling Yi asked suspiciously.

"How can an ordinary woman kill a man with her bare hands, let alone a man under his Nangong Lingfeng. Just find any reason, just say that the man disguised himself as a woman to commit the murder, so Nangong Lingfeng's anger may be lessened Some."

"This subordinate understands." Ling Yi nodded, and went to do what Lin Yinan ordered.After finding Lan Ruoling and discussing with her, Lan Ruoling sighed.

"I just said, master can't just sit back and watch." Lan Ruoling curled her lips, somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Yinan's time and time again cleaning up the mess for Lu Zhiyao.But I thought about it again, it would be even more difficult to deal with things if they got bigger, so it's better to deal with it now. "I'm in charge of bringing people out of prison. Go find out where Nangong Lingfeng's subordinates are. Let's put on a show and save the Nangong family from being suspicious again."

After planning everything, Ling Yi and Lan Ruoling started to do it.First, the word was released that someone knew where the person who did the work in the busy market that day was.Then the people in Nangong's family got the portrait provided by the informer, and when they heard about it, Lan Ruoling unlocked the acupuncture points of the prisoner who had been in a coma.

The prisoner opened his eyes and found himself in an alley without fences, and his reaction after being stunned was to flee in a panic.And Lan Ruoling deliberately made noise when he ran out of the alley, attracting the people from the Nangong family who had already arrived here, and then killed the prisoner in front of them.

"Who are you?" Lan Ruoling wiped the blood on the sword, looked at the soldiers in military uniforms, and asked with a frown.

"We are under General Nangong." The man in charge glanced at the people on the ground, then at Lan Ruoling, and asked, "What about you?"

"My name is Lan Ruoling, who works for the yamen."

Many people have heard of Lan Ruoling's name, so as soon as she said this, those men all uttered "Oh" in unison.

"What is the portrait in your hand?" Lan Ruoling stared at the portrait in the hand of the man who was talking to her just now, after the man handed the portrait to herself, Lan Ruoling smiled lightly, and then said: "Isn't it the one on the ground?" ? This thief always likes to dress up as various women to make troubles and commit crimes. He is very cunning, and it took me a long time to catch him."

Lan Ruoling explained to a few people, and the dead prisoner did have a small and slender body of a woman.So when those few people heard this, they felt a sense of enlightenment. No wonder they had been searching for so many days but they still couldn't find her. It turned out that what they were looking for was not a woman at all, but a man.

Several people greeted Lan Ruoling politely, and then proposed to take this person away.Lan Ruoling thought about it for a while, seemingly in a dilemma, before reluctantly nodding her head in agreement.

The matter came to an end just like that. After Nangong Lingfeng heard from his subordinates that the man had been caught and killed, he didn't pursue him any further.And the person in charge of investigating this matter, in order to claim credit, didn't even mention Lan Ruoling's name, but only told Nangong Lingfeng that he found the person and the clues by himself.

A few days later, when Lu Zhiyao heard the news that Nangong Lingfeng had caught the murderer that day, she was very surprised.

Is this news true or false?Was it really someone who took the blame for him, or was it the fake news that the Nangong family released on purpose?

No one told her the truth, and she never thought that all of this was done by Lin Yinan.After waiting for a while, when Lu Zhiyao was sure that the Nangong family had really settled the matter, she became even more curious.

It is not unusual for Lin Yixiang to appear in the Eight Emperors' Mansion, but it is interesting that he brings Lu Zhiqing together.

Lin Yinan sat on the soft couch, staring at Lin Yixiang intently, waiting for him to explain to himself.After Lin Yixiang stated his purpose of coming here, Lin Yinan chuckled, and glanced sideways at Lu Zhiqing's veiled appearance.

Lin Yinan knew why Lu Zhiqing was disfigured and by whom.Thinking of what Lu Zhiyao did that night, Lin Yinan still couldn't help laughing.

"Traveling? I'm afraid this kind of thing has nothing to do with me." Lin Yinan lowered his head and continued to read his book.

"I've already asked Physician Jane, and he said that you've been in good health recently, and it won't hurt to go out for a walk."

"Really?" Lin Yinan asked meaningfully, not thinking that Jian Yuheng really said this.But even if Jian Yuheng was really found now, he would not dare to deny Lin Yixiang's words in front of Lin Yixiang.That's why Lin Yixiang said such things only after he recognized this point.

"The weather is good recently, it's always good to go out for a walk. I also mentioned this to my father, and he agreed."

Lin Yinan closed the book, raised his head again and looked at Lin Yixiang. "Just the three of us?"

"Leaving the eighth prince alone is always bad, how about calling my sister? Anyway, the eighth prince has a good relationship with Zhiyao."

Lu Zhiqing originally wanted to call Lin Yinan the eighth younger brother, but seeing the cold expression on Lin Yinan's face, he swallowed those two words involuntarily.She opened her mouth suddenly, and Lin Yinan's gaze slowly shifted to her.Staring into her eyes, Lin Yinan didn't say a word.After watching for a while, Lu Zhiqing lowered her eyes timidly, not daring to say anything more.

"This matter has to be discussed with her. That girl has a stubborn temper, so she might not agree."

Lin Yixiang's "gimmick" made Lin Yixiang's eyes flash. "Well, why don't I ask her, how about it?"

"random."

Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing left the Eight Emperors' Mansion and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.Lu Zhiyao sat in front of the two of them, listened to Lin Yixiang's words, smiled sweetly, and then said flatteringly, "It's a great honor to be invited by the Seventh Prince and travel with him."

Lu Zhiqing on the side heard Lu Zhiyao's words, gritted his teeth, and secretly cursed a vixen in his heart.

"The Eighth Prince and I haven't seen each other for quite a while, where are we going to play this time?" Lu Zhiyao asked.

"I said sister, it's not my sister who is talking about you, even if you are interested in the eighth prince, you can't say anything too obvious. I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you just think about it? The seventh prince is here, be careful when he goes back Tell the eighth prince, make fun of you! If you can't get married in the future, what are you going to do?"

Lu Zhiqing was slightly coquettish, and his joking tone was more like sisters whispering in the boudoir, making it impossible for Lu Zhiyao to accuse her of mocking him.But she was not going to bow her head in front of this couple who made her feel bad.

"My sister is married, what is my sister afraid of?"

With just one sentence, Lu Zhiyao made Lu Zhiqing's expression twist a little more.Lu Zhiyao then looked at Lin Yixiang, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "I usually joke with my sister, and I can't change it for a while. I want to call her 'Seventh Imperial Concubine', so please invite the Seventh Prince." Don't be offended, Zhiyao will definitely change."

"It's all a family, it's okay."

Lin Yixiang nodded understandingly, and after discussing the trip with Lu Zhiyao, he sent someone to inform Lin Yinan, and then brought Lu Zhiqing back to the palace.

Lu Zhiqing was first threatened by Lin Yinan's eyes with his eyes, and then suffered a disadvantage from Lu Zhiyao, naturally her mood was not much better.Sullen along the way, her forced smile made her face full of scars look extra cautious.

After the matter was settled, Lu Zhiyao took Yudie and Wanyue out three days later and got into the carriage.Unexpectedly, besides Lin Yixiang and Lu Zhiqing, the little princess named Lin Ruoxue also followed.

After bumping around for two hours, everyone came to a resort specially reserved for the royal family in summer.The weather is not particularly hot right now, Lu Zhiyao jumped out of the carriage, and a bit of cool air suddenly hit his face.Lu Zhiyao stood under the shade of a tree, before he had time to appreciate the mansion he was in, his sight was blocked by Lin Yinan.

"Eighth Prince." Lu Zhiyao greeted him, looked at Lin Yinan's sleepy look, and asked, "Did you have a good rest last night?"

Lin Yinan remained silent and shook his head.Turning her head to look at Lin Ruoxue who was walking over, she asked, "Why did your mother agree to your coming out?"

When Lin Ruoxue heard Lin Yinan's question, she immediately laughed.Looking at Lin Yinan mysteriously, Lin Ruoxue said in a low voice, "Cut first and play later, I have a letter for Er Niang!"

Lu Zhiyao sighed in his heart, as expected of a little princess who is loved by the imperial concubine and loved by Prince Mu, she is so bold in doing things.

"Be careful that your mother will punish you to kneel on the stone slab when you go back." Lin Yinan remembered the scenes he occasionally saw when he was still living in the palace, which made Lin Ruoxue twitch her nose in displeasure.

"It's been a long time since I haven't seen my starling, why did you make fun of me when we met. I won't talk to you anymore, Zhiyao, let's go!" After speaking, Lin Ruoxue grabbed Lu Zhiyao's wrist and ran away.
