Lin Cheng leaned on the back of the chair, thinking about the letter Su Yue gave him.

That letter let Lin Cheng know that the prince was in collusion with Liu Jiang, and Liu Zhifu knew the secret and was murdered. That letter helped him a lot, allowing him to see the situation clearly in time.

"Brother Lin Cheng, you never dreamed of how Liu Zhifu died." Liu Jiang said meaningfully, "If Liu Zhifu's ancestors hadn't been taken in by the Liu family, damn it, in the end he would have fallen into a bandit like me. Lin Brother Cheng is a smart person, and he definitely doesn't want to end up in the same fate as Zhifu Liu."

Lin Cheng raised his eyes to look at people.

Facing those cold and deep eyes, Liu Jiang was stunned for a moment, "I just moved my fingers casually and wrote a letter, saying that the new Guangzhou prefect colluded with Japanese pirate Liu Jiang. I don't need to do it. The black hat on your head is not stable, my little one." Life is in danger."

"I thought you didn't have the guts." Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows, "You Liu Jiang is a little dragon king who commands the wind and rain at sea. When you land on the shore, you are nothing, not even a turtle."

When Lin Cheng said this, Liu Jiang became angry, "I almost forgot, you are different from Liu Zhifu, your background is much stronger than his, your Lin family can't guard Jiayuguan in the northwest, why come to Guangzhou water?"

Lin Cheng's ancestral home is Xianyang, Shaanxi. The mention of the Lin family in the northwest is enough to make the Dalai Lamas in Mongolia frightened. Besides, he prefers reading.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, what do you want me to do for you?" Lin Cheng said impatiently.

"Keep my wife and children safe. After the matter is done, there will be a big thank you."

It seems that at this time the imperial court did not agree with Liu Jiang. Liu Jiang was worried that the prince would draw his salary from the bottom of the pot and take his wife and children as hostages, so as to threaten Liu Jiang to commit crimes.A dog bites a dog until the hairs of its mouth are bitten. Just relying on his official position, he wants to force Liu Jiang to recruit him. Who is Liu Jiang?The court must at least show sincerity.

"If you hand over your wife and children to me, are you not afraid that I will take your wife and children hostage?" Lin Cheng asked.

Liu Jiang suddenly smiled, "I know you won't, from the moment you stepped into the Tiger Villa, I knew you were not a perfidy."

Lin Cheng's face sank like water, "After the matter is completed, I only have one condition."

"What conditions?"

"Don't commit crimes in the Guangdong area again within three years."

Whether the imperial court can negotiate with Liu Jiang is a matter for the emperor's grandson. He, Lin Cheng, only cares about the villagers in Guangdong, and they will no longer suffer from the cholera of Japanese pirates.

"Brother Lin Cheng, it's still your wishful thinking." Liu Jiangzhong laughed angrily, "Three years is enough for you to get promoted and get rich, so you can move somewhere."

After the three-year term of office expires, he can be transferred from Guangzhou to serve as the magistrate of Guangzhou without Japanese pirates invading.

Lin Cheng got up and cupped his hands towards the person, "If there is nothing important, I will take my leave first."

Isn't the safety of his wife and children important?Liu Jiang was a little depressed.

"Don't go in a hurry, haven't you drunk the crucian carp soup yet?" After speaking, Liu Jiang clapped his hands three times.

The woman who cooked crucian carp soup brought over a large bowl of crucian carp soup that was boiled until it was milky white.

Lin Cheng frowned and watched as the woman scooped up the fish soup from the big bowl with a big spoon and divided it into two black porcelain bowls.

"Why are you worried about me being poisoned?" Liu Jiang picked up the black porcelain bowl of fish soup in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.

Lin Cheng stared at the fish soup in the bowl. Nowadays, ordinary people use white porcelain bowls. The wealthy and dignitaries use blue and white porcelain. Lin Cheng is accustomed to using white porcelain. Liu Jiang is too careless and uses the old black porcelain bowl.

Before leaving, Mr. Liu Jiang's staff told him that if Liu Jiang offered a toast and offered tea, he should watch out for the other party's poisoning.

Lin Cheng thought for a while, picked up the black porcelain bowl, and drank it down in one gulp.

"Okay, refreshing! I agree to this condition."

In the octagonal pavilion, Lin Cheng withdrew his thoughts. Liu Jiang had already sent someone to escort his wife and children over, and he arranged for them to be on the farm he bought not long ago.

When he first arrived in Guangzhou and took office, Lin Cheng found that he had no land of his own, and it was inconvenient to do many things, so he quietly bought a few pieces of land. After the farm was purchased, he sent his companion to take care of it. The whole farm was owned by the Lin family. people.

He was already in the farm, and Lin Cheng sent the mother-in-law and maid in the mansion to serve him, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Jiang's wife asked the second girl of the Su family to accompany her by name.

How did Liu Jiang's wife know the second girl of the Su family?I don't know what is the relationship here?

Nansong went out to inquire about the news and came back to reply: On the day that Miss Su went to Guanyin Temple, Liu Jiang's wife also went to Guanyin Temple.

I'm afraid that Liu Jiang's wife said on the surface that she wanted Su Yue to accompany her, but actually took Su Yue as a hostage. Lin Cheng originally thought that Liu Jiang's wife was just an ordinary woman, so there was nothing to be afraid of. Made improvements.

Now that Su Yue is in the middle, apart from other things, as long as they are residents of the city under Lin Cheng's jurisdiction, this alone, the prefect's duty is to protect people's safety and ensure their safety. It seems that this matter Things have to be redeployed.

Liu Jiang's wife and children are in his hands, and this matter cannot be leaked. If it gets out, he will be impeached by the court officials, and he colluded with Liu Jiang. This is solid evidence, and it will be difficult to turn over.

This thing is a little tricky.

Lin Cheng looked at the young girl in front of him expressionlessly, Second Miss Su couldn't be a good lady at home, so why go to Guanyin Temple to offer incense?She doesn't ask for a child.

Seeing that Lin Cheng didn't speak, Su Yue was not in a hurry, and admired the lotus in the pond in a leisurely manner.

There are many lotus leaves, and the breeze blows, causing ripples.

"I have a friend who came back to the capital for business temporarily. Before he left, he entrusted his wife and children to me to take care of him." Lin Cheng carefully sized up Su Yue, and seeing that the other party's face was fine, he continued, "My family , Miss Su Er has also been there, I don’t have a family, there are no female relatives in the house, there are only a few old women who can’t do anything, can you ask the girl to help me take care of my friends’ wives and children?”

Su Yue smiled slightly, "What did I think it was? It's just a little thing."

"You agreed?" Lin Cheng couldn't believe it. The last time he went back to Yunshan to ask for a jade pendant, he brought an old hen, but Miss Su Er refused and extorted 500 taels of silver from him.

"Ah."

"You don't have any conditions?" Lin Cheng couldn't sit still, thinking that it would take a lot of trouble to ask Su Yue to do something, and the other party would at least ask for conditions. A silver ticket of 500 taels.

Su Yue squinted at Ren, "Isn't it just to help you take care of your friend's wife and children, what's the point of such a trivial matter? Don't take it too seriously, Master Lin."

Ever since she learned the true identity of the old Wutou, Su Yue knew that her power was too weak to take revenge. Behind the old Wutou was the prince. The old Wutou helped the prince with his affairs, and only after receiving the order from the prince would he issue orders to their family. The murderer, the real murderer behind the scenes is the crown prince, and she needs Lin Cheng's help.Thinking about it this way, her attitude towards Lin Cheng became much better.

"Think it over, if you have a request, you can mention it." The other party easily agreed, and Lin Cheng felt that it was unreal to be floating in the clouds.
