Chapter 383 New Year’s Eve Dinner (6)

As soon as Duke Jingguo roared, Lin Fei immediately put down the snack in his hand, lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "My grandfather taught me that my grandson should not be greedy anymore."

This is the truth. It is true that he likes the snacks, but it is far from being greedy.

But when Duke Jingguo heard such an "obedient" promise, his expression not only did not improve, but became even more ugly: "How many times have you given this promise? Which one is not business as usual next time?"

Lin Fei lowered his head, looking at his eyes and nose, without saying a word.

Seeing that the reprimand that originally fell on him was transferred to Lin Fei, Prince Lin immediately said: "Grandpa, this time it's Bo Fang's fault."

This reprimand fell on Afei to express his anger. Today, his grandfather was angry because of him, but he... he really couldn't tell the truth about this matter.

Hearing Prince Lin's reply, Duke Jing sneered and threw away the wine cup in his hand.

There was another broken tea cup on the floor that had just been cleaned up, and the maids who got up squatted down to clean it up again.

"You are good!" Duke Jingguo raised his finger and pointed at the three of them, father and brother. He nodded with trembling fingers, sneered and said "good" several times in a row, and then said, "What a father and son, deep brotherhood!"

No matter how harshly he reprimanded him, Marquis Jingyun, who had lowered his head seriously and refused to reply, heard his father's sneer, but his expression suddenly changed. He quickly raised his head to look at Duke Jingguo, and said in a trembling voice: "Dad..."

What he responded to was a cold snort from Duke Jingguo, and then he turned around and walked away.

Seeing this situation, Marquis Jingyun immediately chased after him before he could say anything more.

Although Duke Jingguo's stormy reprimand was harsh, it was precisely because of the expectations he had for his descendants that he became so angry. When he stopped reprimanding and sneered, it was a reaction that only occurred when he was extremely disappointed.

Therefore, rather than scolding him, leaving with a sneer made Marquis Jingyun more nervous and worried.

After Marquis Jingyun left, Mrs. Marquis Jingyun, who was arranging for her servants to clean up, glanced at the two brothers who had just spoken out and tried their best to protect each other, sighed, and said: "This incident has revealed a big mess. ! If your grandfather reprimands and scolds, no matter how severe it is, it doesn't matter, but leaving with a sneer just now is the most worrying thing." After a pause, as if to let her two sons understand better, Mrs. Hou continued Explained, "This is just like a couple who still quarrels because they want to continue to live together. When they really don't want to let it go, they can end the matter quietly with a divorce letter."

When the two brothers heard this, they all responded, "Son, save it."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jingyun Hou waved her hand and asked the servants who were cleaning up to retreat.

When everyone around them had retreated and only the mother and son were left in the yard, Mrs. Jingyun Hou glanced at the two of them and said, "Why do you do this if you can save money?"

Her son is not so stupid, and he is not a weakling waiting to be manipulated. There must be a reason for everything.

After hearing his mother's question, Prince Lin smiled bitterly, and then said frankly: "Actually... this is the Holy One's intention."

It was precisely because the transfer was the Holy One's will that he remained silent.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hou showed a look of surprise on her face. Although she did not interfere in foreign affairs, she was not a fool. The Zhang family who succeeded the eldest son had such a bad reputation, he was just a villain who was obsessed with making profits.

I was inexplicably stepped on by such an ant and got a huge advantage. There must be some inside story about this kind of thing.

Upon hearing that it was "the Holy Spirit's intention," Mrs. Hou quickly looked at Lin Fei who was standing aside: "Afei, this matter..."

Before Madam Hou could ask, Lin Fei shook his head and said, "If my grandfather hadn't had an attack today, I wouldn't have known about it."

The relationship between him and the Holy Emperor still exists, and it has something to do with his work in a yamen such as Dali Temple that is not directly involved in political affairs.

Lin Fei naturally understands what Mrs. Hou understands. Before today's New Year's dinner, he didn't know about it, but now that he knew it, combined with the Holy Master's words and some things he had found out earlier, he vaguely understood it.

"Then the Zhang family picked up the eldest brother's fault because they got in touch with Concubine Jing?" Lin Fei asked Prince Lin.

Prince Lin nodded, smiled bitterly, and said cryptically: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is a little too nostalgic for old friendships."

Reminiscing about old feelings and having friendship is a good thing. But if the old person corresponding to this old love is too evil, it will be troublesome.

"After the Holy One revealed the transfer to me, I went to inquire about it," Prince Lin said. "I heard that Concubine Jing went to the Holy One and complained about the mistake of changing shifts in the Beiya Army. The mistake happened to be mine. Under her jurisdiction, she asked me to be transferred to the Zhang family in Nanya, saying that the ranks were the same, and it was a level transfer, so it was not a big deal."

But anyone with a discerning eye can understand that the transfer from Bei Yamen to South Yamen seems to be smooth, but in fact it is a subtle decline.

There were no outsiders present at this time. When Mrs. Hou heard this, she couldn't help it and said: "How arrogant! If God wants to make him die, he must first make him crazy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Lin's expression changed. He quickly looked around and whispered, "Mother, be careful what you say!"

As soon as these words came out, before Mrs. Hou spoke, Lin Fei said: "Actually, what mother said makes some sense." Before Prince Lin could speak, he added, "I heard that many people in the court are preparing to impeach Concubine Jing. , if brother is close to these people, I also have a small matter here, I hope brother can do me a favor and include it in it."

His brother knew it well, and the actions of the demon concubine Jing were not very clever, and could even be said to be stupid. Under such circumstances, how could his father and brother suffer the loss of being dumb for nothing?

The reason why I didn't tell my grandfather was that I was afraid that this would make my grandfather worried, and I thought there was already a solution to the matter.

Sure enough, after Prince Lin heard this and said with emotion, "I really can't hide it from A Fei," he asked him, "What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, a coachman from my Dali Temple went out to Xianyang to investigate a case with two temple officials from the yamen. As a result, he encountered a murderer who set fire to the yamen in broad daylight. He failed to give a confession to the witness and was chased to death by the murderer." Lin Fei said, "Supposedly, this matter is clear. I just went to the Internal Affairs Yamen to get the compassionate money, but the Internal Affairs Yamen didn't give it to me."

Hearing this, Mrs. Hou, who was not involved in foreign affairs, couldn't help but said again: "How greedy are you, you won't even let go of this life and money?"

Prince Lin also nodded, but unlike Madam Hou, his attention fell on another thing: "What case? The murderer actually set fire to the Yamen in broad daylight?"

Lin Fei said: "I haven't fully investigated an old case with wide implications." At this point, he hesitated for a moment before speaking again, "If this case is investigated, what will my brother encounter here?" The trouble is that you can get away with it by doing nothing.
