Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 201 What a great Zhao family!

Outside the yamen, the gathered people were in an uproar, all of them indignant at the numerous crimes committed by the flower thief, and even threw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves into the hall.

However, the officers guarding the gate of the yamen turned a blind eye to this scene. Without even a word of scolding, they just allowed the people to throw things inside.

In the lobby, Ruan Yu's face almost turned green.

Such a perfect person sued herself for being bullied by a flower thief and losing her innocence as a virgin.

But when he glanced at the official in the hall, he saw a Qilin pattern in the middle of his bright red official robe.

The Jingzhao Yin, a third-rank official, actually personally handled a case that no one would believe after taking a look at it?

But the Jingzhao Yin had a serious face, listened attentively, and nodded in agreement from time to time.

Something is wrong!
There's something wrong twelve points out of ten!
……

Such a farce made Ruan Yu spend the whole day in Jingzhao Prefecture.

Originally, the case was very simple, because when the fat woman accused him of insulting her innocence, he was visiting the residence of a vice minister of the Ministry of War. He just asked the steward of the residence to come and testify.

But the Jingzhao Yin was biased and dragged out this simple case for a whole day.

In the end, it was just dismissed with a simple “false accusation by a foolish woman”.

The most infuriating thing is that the six big characters "Bi Bo Gong Zi Ruan Yu" under the portrait of Cai Hua Dao cannot be removed and are posted all over the streets and alleys of Kyoto city.

Even if Ruan Yu went to Jingzhao Prefecture to question them, the people there would just throw up their hands and say, "That's the name that the Flower Thief uses. We're just following the rules."

It was not until dark that Ruan Yu came out of the government office of Jingzhao Prefecture, still thinking about one thing in his mind -

Who is secretly using such despicable means to deal with him?

Today's incident was clearly directed at him.

The first person that came to his mind was Zhao Qi'an!

But what's the point of doing this?

Ruan Yu couldn't understand why, apart from wasting a day's time, it actually had no effect on him.

"Brother, aren't you going to visit Princess De Ling's mansion tonight? Are you still going?"

Wei Zhaofeng on the side looked at the sky and asked.

Ruan Yu rubbed his brows and nodded, "Go, why not?"

Princess Deling is the second princess of Emperor Tianwu, and in terms of seniority, she is the second sister of Princess Yuzhen.

But Princess Yuzhen was only in her early twenties, but Princess Deling was already forty-three.

Princess Deling's mother was not powerful in the harem, so the princess did not have a high status in the royal family.

But she had a strong personality and was quite opinionated. Seeing that Emperor Tianwu had not arranged a marriage for her yet, she decided to choose a husband for herself. She originally wanted to marry the number one scholar in the 36th year of Tianwu.

But if one can pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, who would want to marry an ancestor as a prince consort?

The number one scholar tricked Princess De Ling into capturing the wrong man, and took Lin Wenxu, the number two in the 36th year of Tianwu, as her husband.

This foolish matter eventually came to the fore in the palace, alarming even the Emperor Tianwu, who ignored state affairs. He then laughed and actually granted Princess De Ling a marriage, allowing her to marry the runner-up.

With these golden words, the marriage was settled.

It was because of this that Lin Wenxu and the top scholar became mortal enemies.

It is worth mentioning that the top scholar that year was the current Ministry of Personnel official Qin Desheng, and the third place winner that year was the hyena official Gou Xiangxi.

In the 36th year of Tianwu, there were many talented people.

After Lin Wenxu became the son-in-law of the emperor, he lost his position as the Hanlin editor, which had been a sure thing. He had been depressed ever since, drinking every day to relieve his sorrow, and writing poems and lyrics to curse Qin Desheng. This Lin Wenxu was a famous talent at that time, who was both an excellent poet and painter, so there are still many poems about Qin Tianguan circulating in the market.

Later, in the 42nd year of the Tianwu reign, Qin Desheng got help from the Yangzhou Party and entered the Ministry of Personnel. Lin Wenxu also turned his luck around and became a disciple of the Left Prime Minister Wu Yong. Wu Yong also recommended him to the court again as a talented person, and secretly arranged for the son-in-law to be in the Tongzhengshisi. Now he is the fifth-rank Zhongshu Sheren. Although the official rank of Zhongshu Sheren is not high, the status is not low.

As Wu Yong's top disciple, he was able to directly participate in the decision-making of many state affairs. Even the drafting of imperial edicts was often assigned to him by Wu Yong.

It is for this reason that Lin Wenxu is still very worthy of approaching.

It is not easy for Ruan Yu to approach Lin Wenxu directly, so she has to rely on Princess Deling's relationship.

So he didn't want to miss the banquet tonight.

With this thought in mind, Ruan Yu prepared gifts and came to Princess Deling's mansion.

But what he never expected was that he was rejected.

"My master doesn't want to see you, so please go back first."

The gatekeeper of Princess Deling's mansion coldly blocked Ruan Yu and his group outside.

Ruan Yu was very puzzled. You know, he had given Princess Deling a lot of gifts in order to have this opportunity tonight.

He had no choice but to patiently say, "I have a history with your princess. Since Lord Lin does not want to see her, please inform her."

The concierge was somewhat reluctant, but only became more enthusiastic after a few ingots of silver fell into his pocket: "Please wait a moment, my dear guest."

Ruan Yu waited outside the mansion for a while.

After a while, the doorman came out again, with an apologetic look on his face: "Your Highness doesn't want to see you either, and you asked me to ask you a question..."

"what?"

"Have you offended Wu Xiang recently?"

Wu Xiang?

Ruan Yu was a little confused for a moment.

He also wanted to make friends with Prime Minister Wu through Lin Wenxu, but now he hasn't even met Prime Minister Wu. How could he have offended the prime minister?

All of a sudden, he realized that the problem was serious.

He took a look at Princess De Ling's mansion and knew that the couple would not see him again today.

Ruan Yu was full of doubts and could only leave first.

……

In the Prime Minister's residence, Wu Yong stayed in the study, listening to his subordinates reporting on today's events.

"The Jingzhao Yin has already done what you ordered. Today, the Zhao family's priest wanted to see Lord Lin, but Lord Lin refused to let him in."

"Ah."

Wu Yong waved his hand, signaling his servants to leave.

It was not until this time that he picked up a booklet from the desk and stroked it gently.

That booklet... was the fuse of the Zhou family case!
"Zhao family..."

Wu Yong murmured these two words softly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

He has already found out that it was the Zhao family of Donghai who was secretly trying to trip him up!
Now, the Zhao family of Donghai has sent the worshiper surnamed Ruan to run around in the capital city. Do they really think that the prime minister is a piece of clay? !

"Humph!"

Wu Yong snorted and threw the booklet back.
