Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 58
[Chapter 58 I like him very much]
Lihua Garden.
As Caiyi finished singing, Lin Xiu noticed that the gloom hidden between the imperial concubine’s eyebrows had disappeared without a trace at some point.
Music is actually a very magical thing. Even if there is a language barrier, it does not prevent people from feeling the emotions of music. This is one of the most important charms of music.
Those hometown tunes and familiar lyrics can bring a kind of healing to people who have left their hometowns.
Caiyi’s special ability can amplify this healing. No matter how irritable or depressed one’s heart is, hearing her healing voice, one’s heart will soon calm down.
Lin Xiu has experienced this personally.
The moment Caiyi’s voice stopped, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief. She looked down at the pet in her arms and found that its eyes had also regained their agility, as if it had returned to its most lively appearance before.
So far, she has full trust in Lin Xiu in matters related to pets.
She stood up slowly, glanced at Lin Xiu, and said, “I’m very happy today. I haven’t been out for long. Go back. If you have time, come to the harem to see your daughter often.” The
little guy in her arms also “meowed” a few times to Lin Xiu, meaning that Lin Xiu should go to Changchun Palace often to talk to it.
The imperial concubine was about to leave, but Lin Xiu was a little anxious.
It had been more than an hour, why didn’t Yang Xuan take action yet? Could it be that he guessed wrong?
This time the plan failed, but I don’t know when I will have to wait for the next time.
Moreover, it is not certain whether the other party will give him a chance.
In a flash, the imperial concubine had left the elegant pavilion and walked down from the second floor. When she was about to walk out of Lihuayuan, suddenly, a man who was listening to the opera stood up from his seat.
His face was full of frivolity, and he stared at the imperial concubine with his eyes, and then glanced at Lin Xiu, and said: “Beauty, you are so beautiful, don’t be with this pretty boy, just be with me, look at his body, and then look at mine, I am much stronger than him…”
As he said that, his hand actually touched the pretty face of the imperial concubine dishonestly.
Behind the imperial concubine, Zhu Jin’s eyes were full of murderous intent, and just as he was about to take action, Lin Xiu had already stepped forward and grabbed the man’s wrist.
The man was furious, and his other hand clenched into Lin Xiu’s chest, and said disdainfully: “Pretty boy, how dare you snatch a woman from me!”
Lin Xiu let go of the man’s wrist, and gently pushed him on the shoulder. The man stepped back a few steps, and fell to the ground with his head raised. The two people with him immediately stepped forward to support him.
Unexpectedly, after the man fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and then he kicked his legs and didn’t move.
The other man who was supporting him was shocked and said, “Brother, brother, what happened to you!”
But no matter how he shook the man, the man on the ground did not move.
He stretched out his hand and gently probed his nose, and the whole man immediately jumped up from the ground, trembling and said, “No breath, brother is dead!”
Another man reacted and immediately ran to the street, shouting, “Murder, murder!”
The owner and several actors who rushed over were all shocked when they heard that someone had died here.
The girl in colorful clothes came down from upstairs. After realizing what happened, her face changed drastically. She walked quickly to Lin Xiu and asked worriedly, “Sir, what should we do…”
Lin Xiu walked to the man, squatted down, stretched out his hand to probe his nose, and then felt his pulse, and found that the man had died.
He stood up slowly. To be honest, Lin Xiu knew that Yang Xuan would definitely take action against him, but he did not expect that in order to frame him, he would not hesitate to sacrifice a life.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, everyone saw that it was Lin Xiu who pushed him, and then the man fell to the ground and died immediately.
With witnesses and evidence, he had no chance to refute.
Although Lin Xiu had the ability to kill this man with one punch, he had not used even one percent of his strength just now.
Using a living life to drag him down, this time, Yang Xuan wanted to make it impossible for him to turn over…
After a while, several constables walked into Lihua Garden.
Familiar scenes, familiar people.
Lin Xiu looked at the constables, speechless.
The leading constable was the same one as before. He walked quickly to the dead man, checked him, looked at Lin Xiu and the others, and said, “All the relevant people, come back to the yamen with me!” Zhu Jin
frowned. At this time, Lin Xiu took the initiative to step forward and said, “Everyone is responsible for his own actions. It has nothing to do with others. I will go with you.”
The constable did not insist. After all, the order they received this time was to take Lin Xiu away. He did not want to make trouble, so he waved his hand and said, “Take him away!”
So, in the worried eyes of everyone in Lihuayuan, Lin Xiu was taken away by the constables of Dongcheng Yamen.
A moment later, in the palace.
Emperor Xia frowned and asked, “How could it be such a coincidence that a murder case happened?”
Zhu Jin shook his head and said, “Your Majesty, it was not a coincidence, it was premeditated. The man would not have died. It was the people around him who shattered his heart veins with their true qi when they were supporting him.”
Emperor Xia showed an interested expression on his face and said, “In other words, someone deliberately framed Lin Xiu?”
Zhu Jin said, “Yes, and the Dongcheng Yamen was also involved in this matter, otherwise, those detectives would not have come so quickly.”
Emperor Xia smiled and said, “It was the Marquis of Yongping. No, the Marquis of Yongping is not that stupid and would not do such a thing.”
Zhu Jin said, “I have asked the Secret Investigation Department to investigate, and there should be results soon.”
Emperor Xia nodded and asked, “Is the imperial concubine okay?”
Zhu Jin shook his head and said, “The queen is fine, just a little angry. She has returned to the palace now. She also asked me to tell your majesty that your majesty must clear Lin Xiu’s name.”
“Innocent?” Emperor Xia smiled slightly and said, “He may not be innocent.”
Zhu Jin was stunned, then said, “Your Majesty means…”
Emperor Xia said, “Why didn’t he frame her earlier or later, but chose to frame her when the imperial concubine was leaving the palace? Don’t you think that it was strange that he suggested the imperial concubine to leave the palace?”
Zhu Jin thought for a while and said, “But when the queen took the pet out of the palace, the pet’s condition was indeed greatly relieved, and the queen was very happy…”
“This is where he is smart.” The expression on Emperor Xia’s face became more and more interesting, and he said, “Do you remember that time I summoned him to make ice, and he was half an hour late?”
Zhu Jin nodded and said, “I remember that time he was also framed and arrested and thrown into the Dongcheng jail. It was Little Li who personally pulled him out.”
Emperor Xia shook his head and said, “He was not arrested, but he went in by himself. He knew that I would summon him to the palace. As long as he told the matter, no yamen would dare to arrest him. He was sure that he would get out, so he was fearless. However, he did not take advantage of the time. I didn’t expect him to complain to me. It shows that he knows when to advance and when to retreat, and he knows his limits. This is rare among young people. “
Zhu Jin widened his eyes and murmured, “Could it be that this time, he is also…”
Emperor Xia smiled and said, “If it hadn’t been for the last time, I might have thought it was a coincidence. This kid looks honest, but he is actually black-hearted. This time he actually plotted against me and the concubine…”
Zhu Jin said angrily, “He is so bold, so audacious. Your Majesty must punish him severely and never tolerate him!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked in the buttocks. His body was unstable and he fell to the ground.
The Imperial Concubine stood behind him, her eyes filled with murderous intent. She pointed at his nose and cursed, “You dog slave, did I tell you to say this to His Majesty just now? I asked His Majesty to clear his name. What were you talking about just now!”
Zhu Jin quickly changed direction and knelt, saying with a bitter face, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is really that Lin Xiu was too bold. He dared to plot against Your Majesty and His Majesty. I was angry for a moment…”
“Plot, what a bullshit!” The Imperial Concubine was so angry that she didn’t even care about her manners and said angrily, “You people are scheming all day long. You think everyone’s heart is dirty. That child is so thoughtful. He cured Nannan’s illness several times and tried his best to make me happy. He thought about me everywhere. Now he is framed, and you still doubt him…”
Emperor Xia’s expression was a little embarrassed. The Imperial Concubine’s scolding even included him.
After unable to resist kicking Zhu Jin again, the Imperial Concubine looked at Emperor Xia and said, “Your Majesty, I like him very much. You must not let him suffer any grievances!”
Emperor Xia said helplessly, “Okay, okay, Zhu Jin, you go to the East City Yamen immediately and rescue Lin Xiu. Then thoroughly investigate this matter for me. Anyone who dares to be rude to the Imperial Concubine, no matter who is behind it, find them out for me, and no one can be let off!”
Zhu Jin immediately bowed: “Yes, Your Majesty.”
After seeing this result, the Imperial Concubine was finally satisfied. She raised her chin and left proudly.
Zhu Jin asked again tentatively, “Your Majesty, are you really not going to punish him?”
Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, “Didn’t you hear what the queen said? Just do as I say. There is a huge difference between the Marquis of Ping’an’s Mansion and the Marquis of Yongping’s Mansion. This boy can come up with such a method. His cleverness really impresses me.”
Zhu Jin agreed with this and nodded, “This kid is too insidious. With this kind of scheming, few playboys from other families can beat him. Most people who provoke him may not even know how they died…”
Emperor Xia smiled slightly and said, “I admire this little guy very much. He is not very old, but he is very clever, and he doesn’t have the air of a playboy. The most important thing is that I am relieved that he marries the genius of the Zhao family…”
Zhu Jin could understand his majesty’s thoughts. The Lin family was about to fall out of the ranks of the powerful and wealthy. It was better for the Zhao family’s legitimate daughter to marry him than to marry into a large family. By then, the two families would join forces, which was not what his majesty wanted to see.
Zhu Jin was about to leave to deal with the matter personally, when Emperor Xia suddenly spoke again.
He gave Zhu Jin a meaningful look and said, “Let this matter brew for a while. I want to see who else will be involved in this matter. Although Yongping Hou is loyal to me, the East City Yamen and the Ministry of Justice cannot all become his Yang family…”
Today’s second update will be in the evening.
