It was almost noon, Lin Jingzhi changed into clean clothes and went straight to Qianlixiang Restaurant.
Since the first time he met Zheng Jianqiu, Lin Jingzhi had made up his mind to use the prestige of the Zheng Mansion to resist the conspiracy of Tian Ji and others. After all, having a fourth-grade official backing him up would have many benefits. Although
The Lin Mansion had a somewhat unpleasant quarrel with Zheng Jianqiu yesterday, but it was not without room for turning around.
When he arrived at Qianlixiang, Lin Jingzhi went directly to the third floor. Yesterday, he asked his servants to reserve a private room.
Since Shi Mo had been lent to the chief steward Pang Lu for the past two days, Lin Jingzhi was only accompanied by a few guards today. Not long after waiting in the private room, he heard a burst of footsteps from outside, and then the door opened and walked out
A young man in black came in.
Zheng Jianqiu looked sunny and handsome, and liked to wear black clothes. If Lin Jingzhi wasn't worried that this person was secretly plotting against Tang Yuxiang, he would have hoped to make friends with him. When he saw that the person coming was Zheng Jianqiu, Lin Jingzhi quickly stood up and handed over his hand.
With a bow, "Master Zheng is indeed punctual. Come, please sit down."
"You're welcome, Mr. Lin." Zheng Jianqiu returned the gesture and sat down firmly. Since Xu Yong was beaten so hard yesterday that his skin and flesh were bruised, he had to change his bodyguard to a taller one today.
This guard has a tough face and is more than two meters tall. His arms alone are thicker than an ordinary person's thighs. However, he looks fierce and attacks fiercely. I am afraid he lacks agility and flexibility.
"Mr. Zheng, you were assassinated a few days ago. Have you found the murderer?" Lin Jingzhi picked up the wine bottle and personally filled a glass for Zheng Jianqiu, asking with concern.
After saying that, he nodded to a guard. Upon seeing this, the guard hurriedly left the private room and asked the waiter in the restaurant to serve the food. However, after giving instructions, he did not return to the private room, but hurriedly left the restaurant.
Zheng Jianqiu shook his head, with a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, "Not yet. This group of dog officials, when doing the census of political performance every year, each one is better than the other. Now that something is really happening, they can't even find out any clues. What a bunch of people."
waste!"
As the eldest son of the Zheng Mansion, Zheng Jianqiu encounters assassinations almost every month and lives under the fear of death every day. This is really uncomfortable. Although Zheng Jianqiu also knows that there are too many people who secretly want him dead, but if he can really
It's also good to find someone out and let him vent his anger.
The relationship between the family in the backyard of the Zheng Mansion is far more chaotic and complicated than that of the Lin Mansion.
"Master Zheng, please calm down, the sky net is very sparse and there are no leaks. I think it won't take long before we can find the real culprit." Lin Jingzhi quickly advised again.
Zheng Jianqiu knew that this matter could not be entirely blamed on the incompetence of the local officials. His opponent had always acted cautiously and carefully, otherwise he would have been caught by himself. "I hope, Mr. Lin, Mistress Lin ignored the extremely dangerous situation last time.
Thanks to your generous help, I have saved my life. I am deeply grateful. Please accept my courtesy."
After saying that, Zheng Jianqiu stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Jingzhi.
Lin Jingzhi quickly took two steps forward and helped Zheng Jianqiu up. To be honest, he really didn't like hearing Zheng Jianqiu mention Tang Yuxiang.
"Young master Zheng, there is no need to be so polite. Please get up quickly."
At this time, Zheng Jianqiu looked serious and had a sincere attitude, which made Lin Jingzhi change his attitude towards him. It seemed that Zheng Jianqiu was not an incompetent person.
"Young master Lin passed the 14th National Examination, and he is already 17 years old this year?" Zheng Jianqiu sat down again and asked with a smile.
"Yes, this year happens to be seventeen."
"Haha, you and I are similar in age, so we should treat each other as brothers. I am nineteen years old this year, and I am two years older than you." Zheng Jianqiu said with a hearty smile.
Zheng Jianqiu's smile was quite heroic, and Lin Jingzhi was eager to make friends with him, so he quickly handed over his hands and said: "Then from now on, I will call Mr. Zheng Big Brother Zheng."
"Okay, then I will call you Lin Xiandi from now on." After Zheng Jianqiu said that, he raised his wine glass and said, "Here, cheers!"
"Cheers!" Although Lin Jingzhi didn't like drinking liquor, he still drank it all in one gulp. The liquor content in this era was not very high, and it also had a sour taste, which was really not good.
"The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke. From a distance, you can see the waterfall hanging in front of the river. The water flows down three thousand feet. It is suspected that the Milky Way has set in the sky! Dear brother, although I am a martial artist and don't like to write or write, this poem you wrote reads like
It's extremely refreshing." Zheng Jianqiu opened his mouth and actually read out the poems that Lin Jing had plagiarized from the ancients a few days ago, and praised them greatly.
Lin Jingzhi was stunned at first, and then smiled bitterly. With his little ability, how could he write such a good poem?
"But it seems that my dear brother hasn't given this poem a name yet." Zheng Jianqiu drank another glass of water and wine and asked doubtfully.
This poem was originally written by the poet Li Bai in Mount Lu, and was named "Looking at the Waterfall of Mount Lu". Lin Jingzhi couldn't think of a better name. Hearing this, his heart tightened, and he pretended to be uncomfortable and replied: "Brother Zheng, younger brother Shi
When I was four years old, I made a poisonous oath that I would never recite a poem to write a poem in this life. Last time I felt it, and I broke my oath by writing these four lines of poems. There is no way I can think of any more poems."
When Lin Jingzhi was fourteen years old, he passed the examination and swore a poisonous oath because his parents were dead and he could not see each other for the last time. It has long been widely circulated. Zheng Jianqiu had also heard about it, although he felt that such a wonderful poem did not have a title.
It was a great pity, but I still gave up the idea of asking Lin Jingzhi to name him, and started to persuade him: "Brother, your filial piety is appreciated by everyone, but the deceased has passed away, so we need to be more open-minded."
Lin Jingzhi nodded, put away his discomfort, and replied: "Brother Zheng said, come on, you and I will have another drink!"
Seeing that Lin Jingzhi, who was thin and fair-skinned, was not one of those sarcastic scholars who always talked a lot, Zheng Jianqiu became very fond of him. He picked up the glass of wine and drank it in response.
Zheng Jianqiu drank happily here, but he didn't know that the Lin family had already spread the news in order to take advantage of the situation, which made many famous celebrities know that he and the head of the Lin family were drinking at Qianlixiang. After hearing the news, one of them sat down and
In the hall, Wang Meng frowned tightly. Hearing his subordinates say that the Lin family actually had friendship with the Zheng family, Wang Meng had a headache. In Liuzhou, the person with the highest official rank was his mentor Zhizhou Tianji, and the person with the highest official rank was Zhizhou Tianji.
The second was General Xuanwei Zheng Sheng.
There was a servant kneeling in the middle of the hall. Seeing that his master didn't speak, he just frowned deeply and quickly lowered his head, not even daring to take a breath.
"Did you personally see Lin Jingzhi and the eldest son of the Zheng family enter Qianlixiang Restaurant?" Wang Meng asked softly after thinking for a long time.
The servant quickly leaned down and replied respectfully: "Although I don't know if they entered the restaurant together, after hearing the news, I quickly went to Qian Lixiang to investigate, and went up to the third floor.
I personally saw the two of them sitting in a private room, drinking and eating."
"Then there is really a friendship between the Lin family and the Zheng family?" Wang Meng's face looked a little ugly.
The servant thought for a moment before replying: "My lord, do you still remember the attack on Mr. Zheng outside the city a few days ago?"
"Nonsense!" Wang Meng is the city guard of Luo City. How could he not know about this matter? In order to catch the assassin who committed the crime so that he could give an explanation to the Zheng family, he was so tired that he couldn't even sleep well these days.
"Little man... I feel that the reason why the Lin family and the Zheng family have a relationship is probably related to this matter..."
Wang Meng, who was still rubbing his forehead, was shocked when he heard this and stood up suddenly. Could it be that the person who rescued Zheng Jianqiu that day came from the Lin Mansion! dd
