Chapter 73
Chapter 73
Lin Ruhai has never been a person who will forget other things once he falls in love with his children, not to mention that this matter is related to the country, and it is naturally more worthy of his dedication than those who are in love.
Therefore, in order to avoid being exposed, Lin Ruhai was naturally impatient to hear that apprentice Junpu complain about the pain of parting, instead he hurried back to the inn with all his heart, so that no one would look for him and he was not there, and it would be difficult to explain that he was in this period. Where did time go.
Therefore, when Tu Junpu hung a picture on his head, you don’t want me, you don’t love me, you want to abandon me, why am I so pitiful? Lin Ruhai only frowned when looking at the appearance of animals, but still did not change his original intention.
God knows why Tu Junpu, who has always been prudent in front of him, has such a rich expression, as if he would cry if he just left like this, it really shakes Lin Ruhai's heart.
Of course, he wasn't entangled in whether he should stay or not, or wished he could leave quickly, and even regretted accepting Tu Junpu's feelings for him.
As an emperor, how could he be so happy, and even show his emotions to such an exaggerated level!Sure enough, I should still whet the appetite of the other party, at least let him know that I prefer more restrained men... Although this look is cute, it's embarrassing.
Lin Ruhai silently supported his forehead and sighed in his heart.
Abandoning Tu Junpu, Lin Ruhai is going back to the inn to avoid the eyes and ears of everyone.Lin Ruhai knew that someone must know that he was not in the inn, and even though Wang Zitong and Wu Sanqiu believed in him on the surface, they still inevitably planted a few nails for him in private and watched him in the inn, so he It's time to think of an excuse, which is both reasonable and reasonable to explain the reason why he sneaked out of the inn.
However, what kind of reasons can be both reasonable and reasonable?
Lin Ruhai has always been quite quick-witted, and he easily thought of one thing, that is going to brothels.
Although the sky is still bright and daylight now, those Goulan courtyards are not open for business, and there are people coming and going in that place, it is difficult to fake the time, but those secret doors can help Lin Ruhai.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai turned back on the way back to the inn, took a small path, and went to find some famous prostitutes nearby.
Originally, Lin Ruhai shouldn't have known about such a place. After all, this is Henan, not the capital. Naturally, he was not familiar with the place, and he came here to investigate the case, so he should be cautious everywhere.
But Lin Ruhai is really too careful. Whenever he comes to a place, he always has to investigate the characteristics of this place. He knows everything from high-ranking officials and nobles down to bastards and prostitutes, and then writes all these information into his mind , as needed.
And now, it just came in handy.
Lin Ruhai actually has some cleanliness, and this kind of cleanliness is not only reflected in things, even people are treated equally by him.As an ordinary person, it is normal to appreciate beautiful things. A beauty can also be pitied by him, but let him touch a whore with a pair of jade arms and a pillow of thousands of people, and a piece of vermilion. , that is a big challenge.
Fortunately, although he is not afraid of any challenge, he doesn't really take this kind of challenge.
Because what these prostitutes want is just a word of money.
As long as Lin Ruhai paid enough money, these whores would naturally keep their mouths shut for him.
Moreover, his behavior of recruiting prostitutes will completely distinguish Lin Ruhai, the imperial envoy who kept himself clean, from Ai Zhen.It can be said that killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone, since the result can be so satisfactory, why would Lin Ruhai not do it? !
However, Lin Ruhai immediately thought of Tu Junpu, and couldn't help hesitating.
If you compare your heart with your heart, even if you know that the other party is going to play on the occasion, and you haven't touched those women at all, you won't be happy in your heart, right?
However, if you don't go, isn't there a possibility of exposure?
It was the first time Lin Ruhai was so indecisive, and at the same time, he was sure that feelings are really not a good thing.
In any case, the longer the time dragged on, the less likely it would be to recover, so Lin Ruhai gritted his teeth and decided that he would at least make a circle outside the doors of those prostitutes who were next to each other.
Then, Lin Ruhai was able to fool those officials into thinking that he had gone to a certain secret door. As for why he didn't know which one... Anyway, they will make up their own minds, and as long as they haven't left Henan, then those officials Naturally, the officials did not dare to arrest and interrogate those prostitutes who were behind the scenes at will.
However, Lin Ruhai wasn't worried at all even after the interrogation.And it would be better just to interrogate, if there are still people who use torture, it is not uncommon for torture to become a trick. In this way, Lin Ruhai's witnesses are also available, and a huge sum of money is saved to bribe those whores.
Even after thinking about it carefully, this method is safer than actually hiding in the secret door.
Lin Ruhai comforted himself deceivingly, not thinking that he actually made the decision because he didn't want to see Tu Junpu sad, but told himself that this method was indeed more suitable for his own situation.
But Lin Ruhai knew the truth, and this point was better than all kinds of eloquence.
After returning to the inn, Lin Ruhai found that his four subordinates were nowhere to be seen, and then remembered that he had ordered them to sneak into the Sun's residence.This move was originally thought that if Tu Junpu had an order, he could act immediately, but now it seems that it is a bit unnecessary.
Lin Ruhai cannot live without these four people, and even if there are no obvious guards around Tu Junpu, there are not many hidden guards at all, so Lin Ruhai thought, when Tu Junpu finds out that the four are still there When the Sun Mansion is in the house, they should be informed and let them come back.
At the same time, Lin Ruhai still felt a little fever on his face.Because after falling in love with Tu Junpu, his heart was a little confused, and because he thought that if he didn't go back earlier, he would arouse suspicion, he hurriedly fled and left the Sun's residence, actually forgetting all four of them.
Now, Lin Ruhai only hoped that the four of them would not delve into why he forgot to let them go with him, instead, he would be thankful for running away first.
When the sky darkened, the two brothers Mu Feng, Qin Xiaojun, Xiao Yuxin and Xiao Yusen came back.
I don't know what Tu Junpu said, but the four of them didn't express any doubts to Lin Ruhai, which made Lin Ruhai heave a sigh of relief.
The next day, Wu Sanqiu posted a post asking Lin Ruhai to have a drink at Taibailou. At the same time, it also meant to apologize for what happened yesterday.
It was a sunny day, so good that Lin Ruhai felt that it was time to go outing at this time, instead of spending this good time in a restaurant with a group of corrupt officials, but Lin Ruhai had a great sense of responsibility and could not abandon suffering of the people.And since he can't let go, then naturally he can only make false claims with the corrupt officials.
What is gained is bound to be lost, this world is such a reality.
However, in Lin Ruhai's eyes, it's just one missing day with fine weather, and there will always be such a good day in the future, and if the matter is over before going out for an outing, even if it can't be regarded as a good day, but Going out in the green with nothing to do will always make you feel more comfortable than a sunny day.
When they arrived at Taibai Tower, Wu Sanqiu, who was the host, and Wang Zitong, who was the guest, had been waiting early. Lin Ruhai smiled and pleaded guilty, saying that he was late, and the three of them were lying. After that, they each sat down.
Because Wu Sanqiu had drawn up the menu a long time ago, Lin Ruhai had only been seated for a while before the dishes were put on the table one after another, until the whole table was filled.
When the banquet was finally served, Wu Sanqiu poured himself a glass of wine, asked Lin Ruhai to apologize for the offense yesterday, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Everyone drank and ate food. Although they had their own ghosts in their hearts, they were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good on the surface.
When the wine was in full swing, Wang Zitong tried again what he said yesterday, asking for Lin Ruhai's help.
Although Lin Ruhai drank alcohol, he always knew how to do what he could, so he would not really get drunk, but in order to avoid being drunk, he put on a drunken appearance, so when the prince said something, he would After weighing it in my heart for a while, I agreed.
Wang Zipeng was overjoyed, thinking that Lin Ruhai would agree to it when he was drunk, and he would regret it in the future, so he said what he wanted without hesitation.
Of course, Wang Ziqi would not give Lin Ruhai such problems as poisoning and killing the imperial envoy, because he also knew that if he asked the other party to do this kind of thing, it would be easy to go back on his word even if he agreed, because no one is willing to do such a thing. A stupid thing that would destroy the Nine Clans.
What he wanted Lin Ruhai to do was to find a way to burn the books he was checking now.
How to burn it?
The natural and most thorough way is-arson!
Originally, Henan officials could send other people to do this kind of thing.But at the beginning, Lin Ruhai brought his own people into the post house, and everything like cleaning, serving tea and cooking was done by his own people. The entire post house was forced to take a vacation, so they There is no way to mix in at all.
Next, they also want to test whether this man named Ai Zhen who claims to be sent by the imperial envoy to investigate is really willing to be their accomplice.
Even if not, after he made up his mind to burn those account books, he could only be their accomplice.
Officials in Henan are complacent about being able to pull the subordinates of the imperial envoy as their accomplices.
