On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal
Chapter 177: Stealing People’s Strengths, Professional Match
At this moment, the chief steward, Lin An, slowly entered the room. His gaze lingered for a moment on Qingwen's retreating figure, a flicker of displeasure crossing his brows. He then walked into the hall and bowed to Lin Zhen, "Prince."
"Well, why are you here too?" Lin Zhen asked softly.
"My Lord, the Master said he will be going on a long journey today, so he ordered this old servant to come and tell you that you can go ahead and do what you want with the Zoroastrianism. Even if the sky falls, the Master will hold it up."
Wow, what a cheap grandpa.
If you had said this earlier, wouldn't our family have become a royal family long ago?
"Okay, got it." Lin Zhen responded casually, but his eyes caught Lin An's hesitation to speak several times.
Finally, he slowly bent down, his voice hesitant: "Sir, I have something to say but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
"When have you ever been so fussy? Tell me."
"This Qingwen... is a bit too presumptuous. Does she need an old servant..."
At this point, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Lin An's eyes, and Lin Zhen looked back with an even deeper and penetrating look, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, making Lin An involuntarily lower his body and feel a chill in his heart.
"No need, I can handle my own people. Don't mention this again in the future."
"Yes, the old servant has left." Lin An's temples were covered with cold sweat, and he turned and left the study.
Lin Zhen stared at his back with a sharp gaze, his mind full of thoughts, no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhang Li saw that Lin Zhen looked unhappy, so she softly said, "Don't be angry, my lord. There is no order without rules, especially in a large family. Qingwen is indeed a little too presumptuous. You should take good care of her."
Yue Wu was also giving gentle advice, she opened her red lips slightly and spoke with tenderness.
"Perhaps, my husband could consider freeing Qingwen from her slavery and taking her as a concubine, keeping her in the mansion. This way, she would save her reputation and give the head steward a way out."
However, Lin Zhen just shook his head slightly, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate the door, looking straight into the distance, and spoke slowly.
"It's not this matter. It suddenly occurred to me that Liu Hanyang came to see me that day, but he ran away that same night. What happened to his house and ancestral property in such a short time?"
Lin Zhen withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhang Li, his eyes filled with indescribable confusion and astonishment: "Or... who helped him deal with it?"
Zhang Li also fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Yue Wu interrupted softly, "Yesterday, I passed by the Liu residence and saw a notice of sale posted outside the gate. There was a servant sleeping at the door."
"Servant..." Lin Zhen muttered to himself, shaking his head secretly.
It is impossible for a servant alone to control such a huge industrial transfer. There must be someone behind it.
For some reason, Lin Zhen always thinks of Gu Nanshan, that deep-minded, sinister and vicious guy.
I just haven’t heard of any changes to Old Deng. Isn’t he still the chief steward of the Gu Mansion?
Lin Zhen thought about it and said, forget it.
It is better to strike first. We must take precautions against people like Gu Nanshan.
So he shouted out the door, "Monkey!"
Hou Chun had already hurried into the room and bowed, "Prince."
"Take someone to capture the boy guarding Liu Hanyang's house, beat him up, and ask him who he's guarding the door for. Remember, be careful and don't let anyone see you! lest you alert the enemy."
Stealing people is Hou Chun’s forte and a professional specialty.
He said confidently, "Don't worry, my lord. I'll do it right away."
Hou Chun left, and Lin Zhen no longer had the mood to eat. He slowly put down his chopsticks, letting Huanbi wipe his mouth attentively, and then took a sip of tea to rinse his mouth.
The reason why Gu Nanshan was not killed at first was because he was a traitor. His existence was like a double-edged sword, which, if used improperly, would bring a lot of trouble to the Gu family.
Lin Zhen was happy to watch the show, but when he thought about it carefully, Gu Nanshan had not attacked the Gu family until now. This unusual calmness made him suspicious.
Maybe this old Deng is plotting something behind the scenes.
If it was really Gu Nanshan who was helping Liu Hanyang sell the house, that would be interesting.
This shows that Gu Nanshan has connections with Zoroastrianism.
After dinner, Zhang Li and Yue Wu left. One of them needed to go to the casino, and the other needed to reopen the restaurant.
Lin Zhen was still sitting in the study without moving. He was waiting for someone.
Not long after, Ergou gently pushed open the door and led three burly middle-aged men into the room.
Lin Zhen, holding the tiger talisman, slowly walked out from behind the desk. Seeing this, the three people immediately knelt on one knee.
"General Zhou Ze, the Great Western Expeditionary Force, pays his respects to the Crown Prince."
"General Zheng Sanshan, the Grand General of the Eastern Expedition, pays his respects to the Crown Prince."
"General He Mingyuan of Huaihua pays homage to the Crown Prince."
Lin Zhen smiled and offered his hand to support them: "Generals, please stand up quickly and sit here."
"Thank you, son."
They were all loyal generals under Lin Zhenxian. Due to their deep respect for their lord, they were also very respectful to Lin Zhen. Especially at this moment, Lin Zhen was holding the tiger talisman in his hand, so it was reasonable for them to kneel down and kowtow.
Lin Zhen led the three generals into the back hall of the study, where a magnificent map of the Qian Kingdom's territory was displayed. Several tables and chairs were neatly arranged around it, creating a solemn yet elegant atmosphere. The three of them took their seats, while Lin Zhen stood in front, speaking in a deep voice.
"Today, I have invited three generals to come here to discuss important matters."
Zhou Ze stood up suddenly after hearing this.
"The Crown Prince has given the order, and I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Zhou Ze, 35 years old, had only been married once before, when his wife tragically passed away due to illness. This prompted him to consider remarrying. His original bride was the gentle and virtuous Liu Yuying, but Lin Zhenxian's words had led Zhou Ze to break off the engagement.
Lin Zhen nodded slightly and said slowly: "Well, this is what happened..."
Lin Zhen told the three people present everything about Cao Xiong and what had happened recently.
After hearing this, Zheng Sanshan was so angry that he punched the armrest of the chair, causing wood chips to fly.
"This group of damned cultists actually dared to deceive the people of Daqian. They truly deserve to die!"
Zhou Ze said, "Prince, please give the order. I will lead the troops to wipe them out immediately!"
Compared to the other two, He Mingyuan was more of a Confucian general. He pinched his beard and said to the crowd, "Don't worry, brothers. In my opinion, this matter is not that easy to handle."
Lin Zhen also thought that Zhou Ze and Zheng Sanshan were a bit reckless. He said to He Mingyuan, "Please give us your instructions, General He."
"Sir, you just said that it was the common people who were bewitched. This makes it difficult to deal with this. We can't arrest all the common people and behead them. Moreover, if we act rashly to round up the common people, we will definitely alert the enemy. In this way, not only will we fail to catch the Zoroastrian leaders, but we will actually give them an advantage."
