Chapter 441 Scissors (3)

Since I met Lin Fei yesterday, it was already after lunch that I saw Lin Fei again.

After cutting noodles with scissors all morning, Wen Mingtang naturally became a shopkeeper for lunch. After eating lunch, he stood in the yard like Ji Caimai and looked at the dead branches with new sprouts.

Because her back was to the courtyard door, she didn't notice when Lin Fei came in.

It wasn't until Lin Fei walked up to her that Wen Mingtang saw Lin Fei. Wen Mingtang was a little surprised to see that he was wearing regular clothes.

Today, all the government offices in Da Rong are open, and Dali Temple has opened a government office early because of Zhao Mengzhuo's case. Lin Fei has been wearing official robes these days. Why is it that the government office is officially opened today, but it's... A normal suit?

Mo Guang thinks it's just a matter of clothing, but the meaning of wearing official robes or regular clothes is obviously different.

Lin Fei, who rarely missed three meals in the public kitchen, would send Zhao You away even when he was busiest. Today, not only his own future, but also Zhao You did not show up. This was obviously not an accident.

"How will Lin Shaoqing eat in the future today?" Wen Mingtang asked him.

Lin Fei looked at her and replied: "In my grandfather's case, Zhang Rang argued hard and believed that the case of Zhao Mengzhuo's fall was related to the case involving my grandfather. As the second grandson of Duke Jingguo, I can no longer interfere in this case."

Wen Mingtang suddenly realized: No wonder he did not come to eat in the morning and did not wear official robes. It was to avoid suspicion! It's no wonder that Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu, and all the officials and guards of Dali Temple looked bad.

Now in Dali Temple, the minister of Dali Temple is dead, and the young minister of Dali Temple cannot touch the case to avoid suspicion. The burden of deciding the whole Dali Temple falls directly on Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu, and Wei Fu, who just returned a year later. On normal days, the three of them might be able to cope with one or two, but this happens to be the time when the entire Dali Temple is most troubled. There may be a lot of hidden secrets behind both the Zhao Mengzhuo case and the Jingguo case. How can they solve it? of?

Wen Mingtang figured this out, looked at Lin Fei in front of him, who was wearing regular clothes, and asked, "What are Lin Shaoqing's plans?"

Lin Fei is by no means someone who just sits back and waits for death. If he is unable to touch this case in the name of "avoiding suspicion", he will definitely find another way.

Lin Fei did not answer this immediately, but said to Wen Mingtang: "Your guess yesterday was good. Ye Zhouxu did intend for me to come forward to attack Prince Liyang's palace."

Before leaving the teahouse and returning to Dali Temple yesterday, Wen Mingtang told Lin Fei what Ye Zhouxu said to her. Finally, they speculated that Ye Zhouxu's words seemed to be swaying her to find Lin Fei to take over the matter. Lin Fei didn't say much at that time, and Wen Mingtang returned to Dali Temple without asking any more questions. Get up early to make breakfast.

Unexpectedly, after lunch, Lin Fei came to look for her, and his first sentence was to admit her guess last night.

So... Lin Fei probably found out something about the intention behind Ye Zhouxu's move.

The people in Prince Liyang's Mansion are not good people, neither Wen Mingtang nor Lin Fei like them. It’s not surprising that Ye Zhouxu wants to get rid of the people in Prince Liyang’s palace because of Ye Huai’s marriage.

Wen Mingtang thought for a while and expressed his guess: "He doesn't want to offend Prince Liyang himself, so he wants to use your help to do it? If this is the case, he is a bit of a villain, but... it is not a violation of the law. Things."

"It's not as simple as a villain." After hearing this, Lin Fei shook his head and looked at Wen Mingtang, his eyes sharpening suddenly, "He wants the whole Lin family to be buried with him for this matter."

An inexplicable chill came to his heart, and Wen Mingtang opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Fei's words, which sounded a bit sensational at first glance, wandered in his mind, and the past events were connected in series. Wen Xuance sacrificed himself and the whole Wen family for this, and Duke Jingguo also kept silent about the matter. Looking at this, he seemed to be preparing to follow Wen Xuance's old path. Everyone is trying their best to hide something. If Lin Fei's stab at Prince Liyang's Mansion is exposed... Lin Fei's words "The whole Lin family is buried with this incident" is obviously not a joke.

After rubbing the trembling skin on his arm, Wen Mingtang took a deep breath and looked at Lin Fei: "Then what are your plans?"

If you are afraid of this and don't make any preparations, how will the outcome be good in the end? Can something happen to Duke Jing really not affect the entire Lin family? Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei, who was wearing ordinary clothes in front of him: The Lin family is the gate of a prince, which is extraordinary, but before Wen Xuance's accident, the Wen family was not bad either.

Buildings collapse often only in an instant.

Naturally, it won't work if this continues, and the best outcome is just a few more people than the Wen family had back then.

Lin Fei said: "I can't touch these two cases now. I need to avoid suspicion. In this matter, I must first find out the person hiding behind it."

Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei, waiting for his next words.

Lin Fei suddenly came here to find her and said this, obviously not just to tell her.

Sure enough, the next moment, Lin Fei was heard saying: "Your cousin Wen Xiutang has been found."

When he heard the words "Wen Xiutang" ringing in his ears, Wen Mingtang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Lin Fei, and said, "Did His Majesty tell you?

She revealed Wen Xiutang's existence to Duke Jingguo in the palace that day. She not only told Duke Jingguo about it, but also arranged for her to meet Duke Jingguo's queen. Duke Jingguo was now in the palace, so this news could be known to Lin Fei. There is only one possibility - His Majesty told him.

Lin Fei nodded, looked at Wen Mingtang, and said, "The situation today is much better than that of the Wen family back then."

Wen Mingtang was a little startled at first, but he quickly realized: "But is it because His Majesty's attitude is different from that of the late Emperor?"

Although I still don’t know the secrets involved, but... I can make people like Wen Xuance and others die calmly without knowing it, and let Duke Jing do the same. I am afraid that in the world, there is only such a secret in the imperial city. .

Lin Fei nodded, paused, and then said: "Your Majesty is not a person who likes to be controlled by others. This secret matter must be completely resolved."

Wen Mingtang said "Oh" and asked Lin Fei: "Shut up all the people who know this secret?"

Lin Fei glanced at her and said: "It's quite clean in this way. The late emperor has been doing this. But obviously...it can't be done. So, it is better to block than to open up, so let's just do the opposite. Let the secret out so it doesn't remain a secret."

Although this secret was never stated clearly from beginning to end, it was like playing a charade, but the girl obviously understood it.

After a long pause, Wen Mingtang sighed: "Your Majesty is so courageous! He can think like this... It is a blessing to the people! It's a pity that neither Wen Xuance nor the Duke understands this truth... However, you can't say that, Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said, "It allows them to keep this secret until death... They obviously also think that His Majesty will be a wise king."
