Chapter 40 Don't spare people, don't go away
Leng Xuanrong was extremely nervous in the face of the king of Xiaohan, but the arrow had to be fired on the string. She stabilized her mind and began to tell the words she had thought about countless times.
"To be honest, my father and I were not from this Yan County. Our father and daughter fled here. It was only because of our father's frustration that we decided to stay here, waiting for those who were struggling to find us to find here, and our father and daughter can only accept our fate."
Hearing Leng Xuanrong's words, Du Yilin couldn't help frowning. It seems that this girl's background is really a little secret.
Only heard Leng Xuanrong continue to say, "The reason why our father and daughter will be hunted down is that our father knows something that he should not know, and he holds something in his hand that should not be left in the world."
"Who is your father?" Du Yilin asked.
Leng Xuanrong looked at him and said coldly, "My father's name is Leng Chengqi. He ranked sixth in the list of the Yuannuity. The officer was appointed as the servant of the Military Affairs Department. He was framed for six years and fled with his family members... My mother died on the way to escape, and now only our father and daughter depend on each other."
"Ceng Chengqi..." Du Yilin thought about it for a moment and remembered the name. That was the year when the royal brother first ascended the throne. Enke had several talented and moral figures, and the court was full of joy, and this cold Chengqi was one of them. At that time, he also went to the palace many times to participate in the palace feast. At the feast, he recited poems, talked freely, and moderately advanced and retreated to the powerful people around him. At that time, Du Yilin admired this person more or less.
Later, I heard that he was deeply involved in a dispute within the Military Affairs Department and was excluded by a group of prime ministers. Finally, he abandoned the official for no reason and left without any news.
The court published a list to find this person, but there has been no reply in the past two years.
It turned out that he was hiding in this Yanyan County.
Du Yilin recalled what Leng Xuanrong had just said, and then he understood why she had to say such a thing first. Du Yilin thought to herself that the little girl was really a little scheming. She didn't report her father's name first, because she was afraid that I would send someone to arrest his father, a fugitive official. It turned out that his father abandoned the official and fled with something else.
In fact, there is no need for Leng Xuanrong to say that Du Yilin also immediately thought of what happened two years ago. He remembered everything clearly in his heart, and that Leng Chengqi would be involved in something.
However, what Du Yilin didn't understand was why Leng Xuanrong appeared here.
"Cold girl, please continue." Du Yilin shook the folding fan, and there was no wavering on his face.
Leng Xuanrong can't see what he is thinking from Du Yilin's expression, but this situation has long been her expectation. This time she is not going to complain about her father's affairs.
"I fled here with my father, but unexpectedly calmed down. No one seemed to notice us in two years. But not long ago, another thing happened in this Yan County. The person involved in that incident is the one who has been taking care of our father and daughter for the past two years. Prince, if I guess correctly, you came to this small Yan County this time, must be for the robbery of official silver a few days ago, right?
Unexpectedly, Leng Xuanrong would ask questions. Du Yilin raised the corners of his mouth and smiled and nodded, "Miss Leng, I'm going to look at you with new eyes. The daughter of the talented son of the famous imperial city is really extraordinary. I have seen the shadow of your father in you.
Leng Xuanrong was a little moved when she heard Du Yilin's compliment. If his father heard the Xiaohan king say this with his own ears, he must have been happy.
However, Leng Xuanrong was moved and also found that Du Yilin avoided his problem just now, and this person was still as cunning as the fox.
helplessly, Leng Xuanrong had to continue to say, "Your Majesty, you must know that in the robbery of the official silver, there was a county magistrate's whereabouts and life and death are unknown. Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate, investigated for many days but had no evidence, and finally had to blame all the blame on the yaman. He said that the government was a traitor and worked with the robbers to do this big case.
Du Yilin nodded gently again and said, "Liang Qiurong has been compromised in this matter, and the whereabouts of the government does not seem to have been found yet..."
At this time, Leng Xuanrong pulled Zeng Yanliang, who had been standing next to him, and said, "Your Majesty, he is the one who participated in escorting the official silver and finally his whereabouts are unknown."
Zeng Yanliang knelt down on one knee and saluted Du Yilin, "Little man Zeng Yanliang, see the prince."
Du Yilin put away the folding fan and looked at Zeng Yanliang, and suddenly laughed loudly.
"Haha...it's interesting, it's really interesting. After a while, the fugitive officials that the court has been looking for and the government officials that the court has been looking for have actually gone. Du Yilin shook his head with a smile. Finally, he waved his hand at Zeng Yanliang to get him up, then stared at Leng Xuanrong and asked, "Miss Leng, no wonder you pretended to be dead when you came just now. It turns out that what you want to say is really important. OK! I will listen to you today to talk about these things about the country and the world!"
After saying that, he called the leader of the guard next to him and ordered him to find a dress for Zeng Yanliang to change into the clothes of their guards, and then Du Yilin and Leng Xuanrong got into the carriage together.
Zeng Yanliang went to get the horse that Leng Xuanrong rode and escorted Wang's carriage to Yan County with Du Yilin's guards.
In the carriage, Leng Xuanrong sat next to Du Yilin and didn't even dare to breathe.
Du Yilin turned his head to see Leng Xuanrong's nervous look and whispered with a light smile, "Miss Leng, you are a rare strange woman. Did you plan everything this time?"
Leng Xuanrong was shocked and waved his hand hurriedly, "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand. I didn't make those who came to intercept you."
"Oh? That Zeng Yanliang was waiting here in advance, right? Why did you arrive late at night if you didn't know? Although Du Yilin's words were questioning, his tone was very soft.
He knew that those people just now would never have been instructed by Leng Xuanrong, but he couldn't help but want to see Leng Xuanrong wavering.
Although Leng Xuanrong had thought of a good speech for a long time, it was extremely uncomfortable for her to sit in the carriage with Du Yilin.
She also had such an experience in her previous life. At that time, the prince also spoke softly. At that time, Leng Xuanrong couldn't help but be moved, but now in retrospect, Leng Xuanrong wants to escape more.
But whenever possible, she doesn't want to get close to the prince.
Leng Xuanrong closed his eyes and took a deep breath, shook his head, and then opened his eyes and said, "Brother Yan Liang has been hiding in the old house where my father and I live. Liang Qiurong, the county magistrate, estimated that he would not expect him to return to the county, so he has not been arrested on a large scale in the county. After learning about the robbery of Guanyin, my father said that this matter would definitely cause a big stir in the government and the opposition... Later, everything Liang Qiurong did was abuzz on the street, and at this time, we found that someone seemed to know the whereabouts of our father and daughter. My father said that this was definitely not a coincidence. I'm afraid that the robbery of the official bank was inextricably linked to the grievances he suffered in those years..."
Speaking of this, Leng Xuanrong looked at Du Yilin and said, "My father thinks that someone in the court must notice the strangeness of this matter. At that time, I'm afraid that person will come here to investigate in person. And this person who cares about the society, who is dedicated to assisting the emperor, is thoughtful and visionary, must be you.
What Leng Xuanrong said was not to flatter Du Yilin. These are all facts she knows.
Leng Xuanrong in his previous life is extremely clear that this prince sincerely thinks about the country and the people, which is also where Leng Xuanrong admires and trusts him, which is also the biggest reason why Leng Xuanrong decided to come to him in this life.
Although Du Yilin is young, he has grown up in the royal family, and he is still very confident in his ability to watch people. When he saw the expression when Leng Xuanrong said this, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. He didn't expect that he had made a blind eye today.
Although he praised Leng Xuanrong just now, now it seems that those two praises are not worthy of the cold girl in front of him.
No matter how you look at her, she is only a teenager. Even if there is such a father who claims to be a talented man, even if she knows something about the world while fleeing, why can her eyes be so deep?
What she said just now was undoubtedly sincere, but at this time, the coldness revealed in her eyes almost made Du Yilin shiver.
That's the look of life and death, right?
Du Yilin narrowed his eyes and looked at Leng Xuanrong and whispered, "Leng Shilang praised it."
Leng Xuanrong lowered her head and continued, "Because my father said such a thing, I think this may be the only opportunity for Brother Yan Liang to wash away his grievances and the only opportunity for his father to see the sun again..."
The carriage walked steadily, and Leng Xuanrong carefully told Du Yilin what Zeng Yanliang saw with his own eyes. She also briefly talked about what happened to her father when she was wronged.
Finally, Du Yilin unfolded the paper fan and gently shook it, sorted out his thoughts, and asked Leng Xuanrong, "As you said, the robbery of Guanyin this time is a headless case, and it should have nothing to do with Leng Shilang's matter."
Leng Xuanrong shook his head and said, "Please think about it. The official seal is on the official silver of the imperial court, and the escorts are all light cavalry captains directly under the Criminal Division. The prince should know what those people's skills are. Coupled with the government officials sent by county governments in various places to escort, this is not something that everyone dares to rob. With such courage and such a hand-made robbers, they were like mud cattle into the sea after doing this. They either ran far away from the mountains or were sheltered up.
Seeing that Du Yilin still didn't believe it, Leng Xuanrong had to say, "The biggest reason why my father thinks so is actually in the governor of Wuming County."
