Chapter 187: Emperor Sword
Chapter 187 Emperor Sword
Lin Jinxiao didn't answer right away, but put down his crutches slowly and generously, and was kneeling down solemnly. Just as he was about to speak, Chang Yanjue was so frightened that he quickly put down his tea cup and came over to help him, and gently persuaded him, "No, your legs and feet haven't healed yet, you can't Kneel down to the old man."
"A teacher for a day, a father for life, no matter how inflexible a student's legs and feet are, he can't abolish etiquette."
Lin Jinxiao's eyes were filled with light, he quietly raised his eyes to stare at Chang Yanjue, and said deeply:
"Students still remember that when His Majesty came to the teacher's home to welcome his junior sister back to the palace in private, he personally bestowed on the teacher a Tianzi sword, so that the teacher could protect my Lin clan in times of crisis. When the students left Chang's house because of Yan Ning, the teacher I also told you that if there is a last resort, I can come to the door and ask you for help once."
"That's right, this old man has always remembered this."
Chang Yanjue half-closed his eyes, and looked down at him with a deep face: "Could it be that your Lin clan is in danger? Those dogs are not worth your only chance to ask for help. You are also a well-read poet." Humans should understand the truth that the Son of Heaven's sword is not taken lightly."
“Students are not for them.”
Lin Jinxiao said frankly: "The students are here for my wife's affairs."
"Nan Zhi."
Chang Yanjue nodded in thought: "You get up and talk first."
Lin Jinxiao got up and sat back on the seat, and reported truthfully: "Yesterday, Saburo from the Li family, the student's neighbor, came back from Haikang County and said that the lady met a murder case there, and the county magistrate was murdered. case, the student originally wanted Saburo to go back and persuade her, but she might not listen to my advice because of her temper."
"Haikang County?"
Chang Yanjue thought for a while, and couldn't help frowning: "It's a poor land, and it's really hateful that a majestic county magistrate should be murdered."
Lin Jinxiao continued: "The students have heard a lot about Haikang County. When other officials went there, they tried their best to ask for transfer. Only the current county magistrate, Kang Mingyuan, is a different kind. Zai even spent a lot of money to clear up the relationship and ask to stay in office.
Now that the Qi family controls the fish source of the Donghua River, the student thought that since she likes to raise fish, he pointed out a way for her, and there would be nothing wrong with going there with San Lang, but who knew that she wanted to intervene in the sea. The murder case in Kang County, in this case, is probably a different matter. "
"Nan Zhi is indeed a bit reckless."
Chang Yanjue's brows and eyes also showed a faint worry: "I don't value her because I want her to pursue these vulgar interests all day long, but because I want her to serve the court like Princess Shu one day."
After a pause, he suddenly widened his eyes angrily: "It's all because of Nie Huai'an, that old bastard. Back then when Nan Zhi was going to open a restaurant, I complained, but you Mr. Nie insisted on her going to open a restaurant. What kind of fish to raise is simply absurd, and when you take office, you will be a dignified fifth-rank official, so is it possible that the salary, rice and grain for that year will not be able to support the whole family?"
Seeing his teacher getting angry, Lin Jinxiao felt inexplicably afraid in his heart, and after pondering, he dared to say slowly: "The lady has her own ideas, as long as she doesn't overdo it, I don't want to argue with her anymore."
"It's not an exaggeration, it's not an exaggeration to meddle in other people's counties."
Chang Yanjue became even angrier when she heard this: "She thought Haikang County was Luyan Port, and Kang Mingyuan was Hu Maoxi? Although Hu Maoxi was confused, at least he had a steelyard in his heart, knew the law, and understood right and wrong."
But thinking about it more carefully, although the girl acted recklessly, she was not a brainless guy, and she always had her own opinions. I am afraid that she also noticed something else hidden in this case.
Being able to overcome difficulties and obstacles is exactly the quality he values.
After deliberating for a moment, Chang Yanjue fixed Lin Jinxiao's eyes firmly: "So you came today to investigate the case in Haikang County for Nan Zhi?"
"Exactly."
Lin Jinxiao replied without thinking.
"You are confused."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Yanjue puffed his cheeks and scolded angrily: "Unless there is an imperial official or His Majesty's order to handle a case across counties, is it possible that you want the old man to hold the sword of the emperor to fight against a county for a woman?" Ya?"
Cursed out of embarrassment, Chang Yanjue suddenly softened his voice, and taught him earnestly:
"Xiao'er, you want to protect your family. This is understandable, but this old man is determined not to watch you ignore the importance of a woman. Since the founding of our dynasty, I have only forged two swords of the Son of Heaven. What a weight! , passed down to now, one was given to Princess Shu by His Majesty, and although the other is temporarily kept in the hands of the old man, it must not be taken lightly unless it is absolutely necessary."
"But in the eyes of the students, now is the time of last resort."
Lin Jinxiao replied solemnly: "For the sake of the public, my lady is going here to avenge the people, and the students are about to take over Luyan Port, and they will be responsible for the coastal defense of the six counties in the east. Princess Shu ordered me to control all forces. Haikang County is next door. Going to Luyan Port, if Dongsang people violate the border, they will land here first, and if the officials in Haikang County are evacuated, it will definitely affect Luyan Port;”
"For personal reasons, Chu Nanzhi is my wife, the mother of four children, and a member of my Lin family. I can't just watch her step into danger. For public and private reasons, I have to go to Haikang personally this time. The county has gone through this."
Chang Yanjue was convinced by his well-founded words, but the worries in his heart also became more serious, and he didn't know how to persuade him again.
After careful consideration, he had no choice but to compromise, and said frankly: "Princess Shu did leave a secret order from Her Majesty before she left. When you take office, I will order the old man to pass the Sword of the Son of Heaven to you. You are ordered to control the six counties in the east and take charge of coastal defense. This is a reasonable and logical thing, but now that the time has not come and the order has not been fulfilled, you will definitely attract a lot of unreasonable suspicions if you rely on the emperor Jianyue County to act."
After thinking about it, Chang Yanjue raised his brows lightly, and continued: "Go back first, leave this matter to the teacher, and the teacher will definitely not let Nan Zhi be bullied."
"No."
Lin Jinxiao stared at him deeply: "The teacher is old, how can the student have the heart to drag you around for this? The student is not a reckless person, and he will play by ear when he gets there."
"Never mind."
Chang Yanjue frowned and nodded: "At this point, there is no difference between you going and me going, but once the Tianzi sword is released, your Luyangang Lin clan will probably attract attention and will not be peaceful in the future. "
Silent for a few seconds, he half-closed his eyes and looked closely at Lin Jinxiao's lap, and said worriedly: "It's a long way to go, hundreds of miles away, are you hurt?"
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jinxiao put aside his crutches, stood up and took a few steps: "The students can walk on their own now."
"Nan Zhi, this girl does have some skills."
Chang Yanjue nodded gratified: "You will rest at the mansion tonight and talk to your teacher's mother. She has been talking about you all these years. As a teacher, I will go to discuss with you, Mr. Nie, and tell him Go to the county to count some people in the county government, and ask Hu Maoxi to accompany you on this trip,
With the sword of the Son of Heaven in your hand, you don’t need to be shy. Your Majesty has long wanted to purge the three eastern counties, but the old man is too old to fulfill his wish for His Majesty. Now that you, King Pingning’s lineage, have been granted by the court Accepted, you took over the Eastern Coastal Defense again, and let go of your hands and feet to display your ambitions. "
"Well, the students would like to obey the teacher's orders."
Lin Jinxiao replied calmly, not daring to tell himself that he was going to cross Broken Dragon Mountain.
Fortunately, I heard from Saburo that the lady is going to perform surgery on the wounded in Orion's family, and it should be too late to wait for the county government to make an inventory and set off tomorrow morning.
Thinking in this way, he settled down and went to talk to his wife.
