MTL - Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry-Chapter 52

Zhou Chengwang came to deliver news to Jiang Lin again.

While gnawing on Jiang Lin's steamed stuffed bun, he asked mysteriously, "Lin'er, do you know that a thunderstorm struck a forest outside the city two days ago?"

Jiang Lin nodded, motioning for him to continue.

Zhou Chengwang: "It was a quarry. The imperial court sent people to investigate. The fire was caused by lightning striking a tree. The lightning was so powerful that it not only chopped down many trees, but also killed everyone in the quarry. There are hundreds of people."

Zhou Chengwang sighed and sighed.

Jiang Lin turned to look at him, "So the court has come to a conclusion and confirmed that it was all caused by thunder?"

Zhou Chengwang: "Otherwise, the whole Shengjing people heard the loud noise that night, what could be...wrong?"

Zhou Chengwang noticed that Jiang Lin's complexion was wrong, and he stopped chewing on the buns. He opened his mouth wide, "Is there really a problem?"

Jiang Lin snorted, with a mocking face, "It was an explosion, hundreds of people could not be killed by lightning."

"How do you know?" Zhou Chengwang asked subconsciously.

"Because I went to see it and saw it with my own eyes." Jiang Lin's tone was a little grave.

Heavy rain, thunder, and the forest near the quarry was ablaze for a long time. He and Wei Yunzhao stayed up in the middle of the night and kept staring in that direction.

When the sky was about to dawn and the rain had subsided, Jiang Lin disguised himself and rushed out of the city as the first batch went straight to the quarry, where he saw the traces of the explosion all over the ground.

Maybe others can't recognize it, but Jiang Lin will never admit his mistake. He will already be cleaned by someone, and there will be experts watching him around. If he doesn't use space, he won't be able to get in at all.

Jiang Lin counted the corpses, a total of four hundred and one, all of them were ordinary people in clothes.

He also saw people burning corpses to reduce the number of deaths. Coincidentally, the second prince's people also came to investigate the scene.

A premeditated act of extermination, even arrangements for the way out, will be blamed on natural disasters in the end. These people have bad luck.

Jiang Lin admired the plan of the second prince, and was even more shocked by his cruelty. If such a person becomes the lord of the world, he must also be a bloodthirsty and brutal tyrant. The people of the world are afraid that they will live in panic all the time, and their lives will be destitute.

Jiang Lin only had one thought after seeing the whole scene, the second prince must die!

Zhou Chengwang asked Jiang Linzhi if he knew who did it. Jiang Lin didn't say anything, but only said to Zhou Chengwang: "If you believe me, then go back and convince your father. He can support anyone, but he must not support the second prince."

Jiang Lin's expression was a little serious, and Zhou Chengwang was not stupid about this kind of thing, so he guessed that the matter of the quarry was related to the second prince.

He covered his mouth, his pupils dilated in shock, "No way, the second prince..."

Jiang Lin stuffed two steamed buns into his hand, "Frankly, go play with Du Yuling and me. I'll write a new book for you later, and don't get involved in other things."

Zhou Chengwang was forcibly driven away by Jiang Lin, and he didn't regain his senses until he got into the carriage.

And as soon as he got home, Zhou Chengwang filled the yard with the buns and shouted to find his father. Zhou's father pushed the door out from the study, with a dignified expression on his face, "Come here!"

Zhou Chengwang rushed up to him, and Zhou’s father took the buns from his hands. Zhou’s father didn’t dislike him, and he ate them as soon as he took them. He also taught Zhou Chengwang, “Just to give me two buns, I yelled all over the yard. It's called, how decent it is!"

"The steamed stuffed bun tastes good. Where did you buy it? Why do you only buy two?" Father Zhou said as he asked the housekeeper to arrange someone to buy steamed stuffed buns for him.

Zhou Chengwang looked at the buns that Zhou's father had almost finished eating, and felt like crying.

But he held back, and stopped Zhou's father from letting someone buy buns, "Jiang Lin gave it to me. I couldn't buy it outside. He made it himself."

Zhou Chengwang stretched out two fingers, "I only ate two in total, these two..."

With the last mouthful of buns stuffed into his mouth, Father Zhou's majestic face showed two points of satisfaction, "That's right, he's a filial man, and he knows to bring two back for dad."

He was interrupted by his father before he finished speaking, Zhou Chengwang swallowed the second half of the sentence for the sake of filial piety.

Pushing his father into the study room, he closed the door and quietly told Father Zhou what Jiang Lin asked him to tell.

"Father, although we didn't live up to expectations in the past, we are all better now. Lin'er seems to have changed after marrying into the Wei family. I think he can believe his words."

As the prince got older, he began to compete for the throne, and it was time for the courtiers to stand in line.

The Zhou family didn't stand in line, because they still have a concubine in the palace, but they entered the palace late, and the prince they gave birth to was still a child, so it was not his turn to compete for the position for the time being.

But the Zhou family also used this as an excuse to remain neutral, only loyal to Emperor Changde, and not involved in disputes.

Zhou's father thought much more far-reaching than Zhou Chengwang's. A quarry that killed so many people was an obvious silencing, and why the silencing was because the water inside was too deep.

Father Zhou told Zhou Chengwang solemnly, "From today on, you will rot in my stomach, and no one is allowed to talk about it, you know?"

Zhou Chengwang nodded, "Father, I'm not that stupid, don't worry."

Father Zhou walked back and forth in the study room with a straight face and hands behind his back. Zhou Cheng saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he was about to run away, but he was stopped when he opened the door. Father Zhou took a piece of silver and handed it to him, "You go The Wei family will check if there are any buns left, and buy some more."

Zhou Chengwang: "..."

He took the money with a complicated mood, and ran to Wei's house even more complicated.

Until he asked Jiang Lin to buy steamed buns, Zhou Chengwang was still in a daze. His father, such a big official, would actually let him go to a friend's house to buy steamed stuffed buns.

If you say it, you will definitely be laughed out of your teeth!

Jiang Lin was not surprised, the food made from the ingredients in the space tasted good, and it was normal to miss it after eating it.

The buns are gone, as long as he made something, there was never any left. Jiang Lin spread out a plate of egg pancakes quickly and asked Zhou Chengwang to take it back to his father. As for the money, Jiang Lin must have taken it.

Jiang Lin even thought that if he could start a food business in the future, he would definitely earn a lot of money.

After Zhou Chengwang left, Du Yuling also ran over and gave some different news to Zhou Chengwang, "The second prince may attack you, so be careful these days."

Jiang Lin was very surprised, "How did you know?" Jiang Lin was not surprised that the second prince wanted to attack them, he was only curious about how Du Yuling knew.

It was a coincidence that Du Yuling just heard about it.

Recently, the theater of "Dong Fu's Killing Relatives" is full of houses, and the theater business is booming. Du Yuling is also watching there every day, fearing that something will happen.

But he was a young master, and no one asked him to do anything. He only glanced at it from time to time, so he was very free.

When I'm free, I like to gossip with nearby residents or people who come to the theater. He went early today, and there were not many people who attended the opera. He wandered around the alleys near the opera garden boredly, and listened to a corner.

Hearing this, he heard that someone was discussing the matter of setting fire to Wei's house to teach him a lesson, so Du Yuling hurriedly took a carriage to deliver a letter to Jiang Lin.

After Jiang Lin listened thoughtfully, Du Yuling thought he didn't believe it, and was a little anxious.

Jiang Lin shook his head and explained, "It's not that I don't believe it, but I think that if the second prince really wants to deal with us, he will never let others know. I was just wondering if I let you hear it on purpose."

This Du Yuling couldn't be sure, but still said: "No matter what you say, you should be careful, if it is true, you will be in trouble."

Jiang Lin nodded, "Well, I know, and at the same time, to thank you, you should stay for lunch at noon."

"Are you doing it?" Du Yuling asked expectantly.

"Yes, I will," Jiang Lin felt more and more that he had a bright future as a cook.

Although not sure about the authenticity of Du Yuling's news, Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao re-arranged the mansion. Wei Yunzhao also went out and brought back several people. Most of these people were one-armed. Either they were lame, and judging from the breath on their bodies, they were all from the army. Jiang Lin guessed that they should be Wei Yunzhao's old team.

The Wei family did not lack this little money to support their family, and they had been on the battlefield, and their skills were better than ordinary people, and the Wei family lacked people who could look after the house, so Jiang Lin naturally had no objection. The second prince, who was watching the movement of the Wei family, naturally knew about the Wei family's entry. He smiled contemptuously, "Since it is ready, then the palace will not be polite, Xiao Yang, arrange it and act as soon as possible."

"Yes," Xiao Yang replied sharply.

…

On the sixteenth birthday of Yin Feifei, the daughter of Shaoqing in Dali Temple, she invited three young girls from the Wei family to a banquet.

Ever since the incident at Qinghe County Palace last time, Wei Yunjia and Yin Feifei have become close friends. The two little girls will visit each other's house after a while. Jiang Lin and the others never cared about the little girl making friends. , it has always been Wei Yunjia himself who entertains people.

The more times I came, the more I became acquainted with the two sisters Wei Yunwan and Wei Yunxue, so I invited all three sisters for this birthday.

Each of the three sisters brought a maid, and Jiang Lin also arranged for two guards, and told them to keep an eye on them, and never allow anything like the Qinghe County Prince's Mansion to happen last time.

Although the Yin family will not target the three little girls, it is difficult for others to say, there is always nothing wrong with being more careful.

After sending the man into the carriage, Jiang Lin went back to look for Wei Yunzhao. Wei Yunzhao was tidying up Jiang Lin in the study. It's coming to an end, he, Tuntian Secretary, has to do something.

Jiang Lin leaned over and leaned on his back and asked, "The autumn harvest is coming soon, you have to go to the Ministry of Industry, right?"

"Well, it will take a while to be busy, and I will be free after counting and making books."

Tuntian Secretary Lang is a fifth-rank official, and there are still people working under him. In addition, Wei Yunzhao is only a name, so he is hardly taken seriously. He only needs to do his job well in the Ministry of Industry after the autumn harvest.

After the autumn harvest, not only Wei Yunzhao had to be busy, but Jiang Lin also remembered another thing, "Wei An will be executed too."

Wei Yunzhao was stunned when he heard the name, because he hadn't heard it for a long time, and he almost couldn't remember it.

"Well, it's time to ask a servant to watch the execution, you and I don't have to go."

Mrs. Wei and Wei An have been imprisoned for these days. The mother and son sent a message to Wei Yunzhao to visit them in the prison, and also wanted Wei Yunzhao to find a relationship to release them.

At first Wei Yunzhao was rejected by others, but later the housekeeper didn't report to Wei Yunzhao's side, so they haven't paid attention to these two people for a long time.

"That's not what I was thinking about," Jiang Lin said, "Mother Ye still owes me an answer."

Jiang Lin still wanted to know who instigated Madam Ye to force her to have **** with Wei Yunzhao on their wedding night.

Wei Yunzhao turned back, "After Wei An is beheaded, we will go see her."

Just as Jiang Lin was about to respond, he suddenly heard a shout from outside, "It's on fire!"

Jiang Lin ran to the door in two or three steps and opened it, only to see smoke coming from the direction of the back kitchen.

Jiang Lin turned around and said to Wei Yunzhao, "Just stay in the house and I'll go over and have a look and protect myself."

"Okay," Wei Yunzhao replied, and stopped writing to sort out the things in front of him.

The servants of the house have already carried buckets to fetch water to fight the fire.

But the fire in the kitchen is getting more and more fierce, and it seems that it can't be extinguished no matter what.

Moreover, there was a smell of oily smoke. Jiang Lin's face was serious, and he confirmed that it was not an accident, but that he came prepared.

Jiang Lin called the housekeeper and asked him to find a way to separate the back kitchen from other rooms, so that the back kitchen would be destroyed if it was destroyed, so as to reduce other losses.

After instructing the housekeeper, Jiang Lin arranged for the servant girl to notify Mrs. Wei and the others to stay in the yard first and return to the house after the fire was extinguished.

Then, Jiang Lin ran to find Wei Yunqi, he wanted to carry the child to Wei Yunzhao's side and let Wei Yunzhao watch.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jiang Lin saw a black figure rushing towards Wei Yunqi's house, and Jiang Lin quickly followed.

There was no one in Wei Yunqi's house. Jiang Lin found a gentleman for him not long ago, and Wang Yang accompanied him to class with the old man every day. Jiang Lin specially allocated a space for him in the small courtyard behind Zhaoyun Garden.

After Jiang Lin entered, he immediately closed the door. The other party was looking for someone in the room, and when he saw Jiang Lin closed the door, he paused, but soon drew his sword and attacked Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin's tone was very cold, "After entering this door, don't even think about leaving today."

Jiang Lin dodged the man in black's attack and started to fight back. He was determined to kill the man in black, and he attacked extremely ruthlessly.

The man in black was not an expert like Xiao Yang, and he didn't last long before he was killed by Jiang Lin's dagger, and Jiang Lin carried his body and threw it into the yard.

He stood in the courtyard and shouted towards the roof, "Go back and tell your master that I am angry, and let him be prepared to bear the consequences of my anger!"

There was no movement on the roof, but Jiang Lin was sure that someone could hear what he said.

The whole house was mobilized, and the fire was almost extinguished, and the row of houses in the back kitchen was completely burnt down. Fortunately, no one was injured or injured.

A lame man came to Jiang Lin with some burnt firewood. He was brought back by Wei Yunzhao, and his name was Ding Datou.

Ding Datou handed the firewood to Jiang Lin, "Young madam, this firewood has been greased. I asked the cook just now and said that sparks were accidentally splashed on the woodpile while the fire was burning, and the fire burned instantly. Get up, but still can't put it out, the firewood was newly bought this morning."

Jiang Lin took the firewood and looked at it for a while, "Understood, you can watch this when the kitchen buys it in the future."

"Yes," Ding Datou got the order, and left with the firewood.

Jiang Lin went to the back yard to look for Wei Yunqi, but when he saw no one, he yelled twice.

"Young lady, young lady, we are here," Wang Yang's voice came from behind a stone.

Just as Jiang Lin was about to go there, he saw Wang Yang coming out from behind the stone with his husband, Wei Yunqi in his arms.

After Wang Yang put Wei Yunqi down, Wei Yunqi rushed towards Jiang Lin, hugged his leg and shouted happily, "Brother."

Jiang Lin picked him up and touched his little head, "Are you scared?"

Wei Yunqi shook his head, "No, brother Wang Yang took me and my husband to hide behind a stone, and no one found us."

"Good boy," Jiang Lin smiled at him, and then praised Wang Yang for his cleverness. Wang Yang scratched his head and laughed like a fool.

Wei Yunqi was not frightened, so Jiang Lin asked him to continue studying with his husband.

Wei Yunzhao pushed the wheelchair behind Jiang Lin at some point and asked him, "Are you injured?"

"No, that person's kung fu is generally not my opponent."

"Arson, burglary, murder, or robbing people, this one is really amazing."

Wei Yunzhao didn't respond to Jiang Lin's words, and thought of something, his face was very gloomy, Jiang Lin asked him quickly, "What's wrong?"

"Hurry up, go to Yin's house and bring Yunjia and the others back." Wei Yunzhao pushed the wheelchair back to the front yard.

Jiang Lin was startled, and quickly realized that he ran to ask someone to prepare the carriage.

The second prince chose to do it today, and even asked someone to rob Wei Yunqi to distract them, but the real target is most likely the three sisters who are visiting Yin's house.

The carriage was ready, Jiang Lin said to Wei Yunzhao: "I'll go, you stay in the mansion, if anyone dares to come, you have to protect them."

Jiang Lin hurriedly got into the carriage and rushed to Yin's house. The outside of Yin's house was peaceful. Jiang Lin knocked on the door and explained why he wanted to pick up the girls in advance. one short.

Wei Yunxue was gone, even her maid was gone.

Jiang Lin asked Wei Yunjia, "Is Yun Xue not with you sisters?"

The maid Bai Qiang spoke for Wei Yunjia, "We were together all the time before, just before the young lady came, Miss Yun Xue said that she was going to change clothes, so Bai Cha went with her."

Bai Qiang asked suspiciously, "I've been away for a while, it's time to come back."

The housekeeper of your Yin family who was accompanying you immediately called someone to look for it. Jiang Lin had a bad feeling and felt that it was probably a step too late.

He asked again, "Have you met any strange people or people you know today?"

Wei Yunwan hesitated for a moment before saying, "When I got off the carriage at the door, Yun Xue said she saw Mother, but Yun Jia and I didn't see it, so we thought it was Yun Xue's mistake."

Wei Yunjia followed suit, she did not see it.

Little Zhou's, Jiang Lin thought in his heart, he really came here.

The servants of Yin's family searched all over the mansion but did not find anyone, and no one came in or out after asking the porter, which is strange.

Jiang Lin asked the housekeeper of the Yin family, "Please tell the housekeeper, I want to see Master Yin."

The man was lost in the mansion, if he couldn't be found, the Yin family would become the next Qinghe County prince's mansion, the housekeeper knew the seriousness, so naturally he wouldn't refuse, and hurriedly led the way for Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin asked Yin Feifei to help take care of the two younger sisters, and then went to meet with the housekeeper.

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is called Yin Ji, and he is already a member of the third rank when he is less than forty. As long as he does not commit any crimes and does not stand on the wrong team, he will have a bright future.

Yin Ji has already got the news. He didn't expect that someone would dare to attack his house, and he apologized to Jiang Lin when they met, "This is my family's fault. Don't worry, Young Master Jiang. I will find it as soon as possible." That little girl."

Jiang Lin thanked him, and then said: "Master Yin, I want to talk to you about something."

The butler tactfully closed the door and retreated, still guarding outside, to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Jiang Lin also intentionally lowered his voice, "Master Yin, I know who did what happened today, Jiang Lin would like to ask Master Yin for a favor."

Yin Ji was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

"I would like to ask Mr. Yin to re-investigate the matter of the quarry being struck by lightning outside the city of Shengjing, and it will be fair for hundreds of people to die in vain."

Since Yin Ji was able to sit on the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple at this age, he knew something tricky when he heard the word death in vain.

Yin Ji sat down and said to Jiang Lin: "Please tell me what you know in detail. If the death is really in vain, I will definitely report to the emperor and re-investigate the case."

Xu felt that it was unlucky for so many people to be killed by lightning. This case has been closed, and they died as soon as they died. The blame can only be blamed for God's lack of eyesight. Hundreds of people died, but there was no splash at all.

Jiang Lin didn't say anything about the second prince's private soldiers, but Jiang Linquan said that people were killed by bombing, and that the corpses were burned to reduce the death toll. Then you know what Jiang Lin said is true or not."

Yin Ji didn't answer or refuse, but asked, "Because they know the secret of the quarry, someone wants to target the Wei family. Is that little girl blackmailing you?"

Jiang Lin replied: "Exactly, not only that, Wei's house was on fire today, and someone entered the house trying to take away another child, Wei Yunzhao sensed something was wrong, that's why I came to pick up the little girls in the family and went back early. "

But it was still a step late.

Yin Ji said, "No one comes in or out, so the person must still be at the house. Don't worry, if no one can be found today, the Yin family will not let him go."

Yin Ji called the butler in, and asked him to lead the whole house to search from room to room, not to miss any corner, and make sure to find them.

Jiang Lin thanked Yin Ji again, "Master Yin is bothering you, and Mr. Yin is also at ease. We will definitely not implicate the Yin family in the matter of the quarry. Mr. Yin only needs to wait two more days to find an opportunity to submit a request."

He said that he would not let the second prince go, so he would never let him go.

This man has more handles than the prince, and there are holes everywhere, and poking any one will make him leak.

Yin Ji still didn't agree with Jiang Lin's words, he didn't fully believe Jiang Lin's words, he had to judge for himself whether it was true or not.

…

The Yin family searched for someone from noon to dusk directly, and they really almost turned over the floor tiles to look, and finally found the person in the Buddhist hall of the old lady of the Yin family.

No one thought that a woman from Xiao Zhou's family could carry an adult maid and a seven or eight-year-old child into Mrs. Yin's Buddhist hall without anyone noticing.

When the housekeeper came to report, Jiang Lin noticed that Yin Ji's face was very bad, but he couldn't take care of Yin's family affairs, so he went to see Wei Yunxue.

Both Wei Yunxue and the servant girl were knocked out, with a big bump on the back of their head, and there were marks of pinching on their necks, and they were a little scared when they woke up.

Jiang Lin went to make amends to the young ladies who had been delayed for a long time, and then brought the three sisters back to the mansion. Of course, the little Zhou family was also taken back.

Little Zhou was a bit embarrassed and haggard. Obviously, he didn't live a good life after leaving Wei's house.

Before Jiang Lin could ask her, Xiao Zhou herself complained about her suffering, "I didn't want to either, I was forced to do so, Yunxue is my own, how could I be willing to harm her."

Jiang Lin looked at the red marks on the little girl's neck from being pinched by hands, and sneered, "I regret not strangling her directly."

"Why, the Zhou family didn't find you a good man, and even asked you to come out to do this kind of thing. They think you eat too much at home, so they came up with this way to send you to die?"

I don't know where Jiang Lin's words hit Little Zhou's heart. Little Zhou's eyes turned red, and she burst into tears, crying to Jiang Lin, "I regret it."
