Our Mommy is the Best Investigator! Chapter 390

Chapter 390 One Mistake for Life

Following Lin Jinxiao's formation, Du Sankui led the Yulong Gang to flee to Haining County, but at the mouth of the sea, they were attacked by the Haining County Garrison and Lin Jinxiao's chasing army.

The fleet of Dongsang people who came to meet them was ambushed and intercepted by the imperial army led by Ji Cen'an before they reached Haining County. They suffered heavy losses and had to flee to the sea in a panic.

The army of Pingning County, fifty miles away from the Beibu Gulf, could only watch helplessly as Du Sankui was captured alive by the soldiers of the Coast Defense Battalion and brought back to Haining County.

Having won the victory, the morale was high. As soon as Lin Jinxiao led the crowd into the east gate of Haining County, Ji Cen'an led many people out of the city to welcome them out.

Haven't seen each other for several years, and the two are very cordial.

Ji Cen'an was so excited that tears were about to flow out. He stepped forward to salute Lin Jinxiao and immediately hugged Lin Jinxiao tightly: "Brother Jinxiao, it's been so many years, I miss you so much."

Lin Jinxiao dismissed him with some disgust, and was about to reply when he saw two beautiful figures approaching him.

The woman headed by her has dyed eyebrows, her white cheeks are like snow, and a beige gown decorated with fine butterfly lines sets off each other, which is quite a bit of the demeanor of a noble daughter's family.

The woman bowed to him respectfully, and said with a smile: "The emperor's cousin is heroic and mighty, and this time he has made extraordinary achievements for the court. Your majesty and the empress dowager will definitely be happy again when they learn about it." of."

Lin Jinxiao looked at this woman who seemed familiar but was also very strange. He just took a cursory glance and then turned his gaze back to Ji Cen'an.

I don't know when I have such a royal cousin who can flatter me.

Ji Cen'an glanced sideways at Ji Wanying, who was a little disappointed, and smiled embarrassingly: "Brother Jinxiao probably doesn't remember the little princess, she is the little naughty princess who used to hang around Princess Shu when you came to Beijing. Ghost, princess Wanying, the only daughter of Princess Yanjun."

"I see."

Lin Jinxiao straightened his posture and bowed to her: "Your Majesty has seen the princess."

Ji Wanying saw that he was so meek and respectful, her face was just showing joy, and she wanted to say a few words about her reunion after a long absence, but Lin Jinxiao had already turned around and told Li Ce:

"Sanlang, you and Xiaowei Chen accompanied You'an to the camp to let the soldiers exchange some rations and fresh water. After an hour's rest, we set off overnight and rushed back to Luyan Port."

"Brother Jinxiao, why is he in such a hurry to return home?"

Ji Cen'an was a little puzzled and said: "The victory has just been won, and the officials in Haining County have prepared a welcome banquet and are going to reward everyone."

"Brother Cen An often stays in Jingling City. Who knows that the people's livelihood in the eastern counties is suffering. This year's spring famine has just passed and there is a drought, and they have to pay taxes. The people everywhere are suffering. It is really inappropriate to hold a celebration banquet. , not to mention that such a rebellious thing happened within the government, I can only say that I am ashamed."

After Lin Jinxiao finished speaking, he immediately called Zhu Youan to stop, and said in a solemn voice: "Youan, in Haining County, you must not only supervise the maritime defense, but also set an example for the officials of the whole county. Regarding the use of disaster relief funds and food in the county, if there is any corruption and concealment, it will be severely punished."

"The next official takes orders."

Zhu Youan glanced coldly at Tang Ji, the Magistrate of Haining County who was following Tang Yuanxi.

Lin Jinxiao looked over knowingly, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised into a calm smile: "Magistrate Tang, you have to keep in mind what I said, Zhu Yushi is in charge of the defense of Haining County, and he is also the one who maintains the hearts of the people in the county. Where the responsibility lies, you should contact him more in everything.”

"The next official will remember the commander's teachings."

Tang Ji was heartbroken for a while. He wanted to hold a reception banquet to flatter his boss, but he never wanted to lose his good reputation, but instead attracted doubts from his boss.

He looked at Princess Yuanxi beside him with bitterness, thinking that she would say a few good words for him for the sake of the Tang family, but Tang Yuanxi glared at him angrily: "Look at this princess What to do, Mr. Lin cares about the people's livelihood and cannot bear the suffering of the people, as a county magistrate, you should share his worries."

"Yes, I will keep this in mind."

Tang Ji replied aggrieved and depressed.

I don't know when the little princess became so docile and considerate.

Ji Cen'an didn't find a chance to introduce this princess, and he was afraid of offending Princess Yuan Xi, so he hurriedly said to Lin Jinxiao, "Brother Jinxiao, this is Princess Yuan Xi from the general's residence, and he will go with Concubine Yue." Parents at Luyan Port."

I didn't like Lin Jinxiao, the noble concubine of the Yue family. Since this woman was accompanying her back home to visit relatives, but she followed the army to Haining County, she really didn't know what to say.

He bowed his hands to Tang Yuanxi politely, and then took Ji Cen'an and walked into the city. While walking, he did not forget to sarcastically say to him: "Brother Cen'an, you are very elegant. Come with the Lord."

Ji Cen'an looked bitter.

Can he say that he is also involuntary?

Tang Yuanxi looked at the figure of the pen who stepped on the steed again. He was personable. Although he spoke sarcasticly, he did not lose the courtesy he should have.

I can't find a reason to blame him, but I have no interest in praising him.

It was the first time in my life that I met such an arrogant person in front of me, it was really annoying.

And he is such a handsome and handsome man, it is simply killing people.

"Sooner or later, it will be in the pocket of the princess."

Tang Yuan secretly clenched his fists as he hoped for the well-proportioned and extremely beautiful back.

Ji Wanying at the side noticed her little move, she looked angry but her eyes seemed to be filled with endless nostalgia, she smiled pointedly and said: "Sister Yuanxi is probably seduced by my royal cousin Soul?"

"I don't have one."

Tang Yuanxi pouted stubbornly.

"It doesn't matter if my sister falls in love with my cousin. Even His Majesty and the emperor's grandmother love my cousin very much. What's more, sister Yuan Xi, look at his age. At the age of eighteen, he has already achieved two honors. , right now, he is only in his twenties and he is already an extremely human minister, how many people in this world can be like him."

Ji Wanying said that she was the first to get intoxicated: "What our daughter's family has been dreaming about in this life is not to be able to get such a good husband. He has a good appearance, excellent talents and learning, and there are not many people who fall in love with him." Few, but my cousin is an unpredictable person,

Let's just say sister Yan Ning, my uncle's niece, is one of the best ladies in Luyan Port, and she has a deep love for her cousin, but he is unmoved, and is fascinated by a village woman. Turning round and round is really incredible. "

When she said this, Tang Yuanxi felt that Lin Jinxiao was a rare person.

It's nothing more than being born so charming and charming. He is also a good official who is extremely intelligent and full of strategy. Compared with those dudes in Jingling City, he is a completely different stream.

Especially his stubborn and indifferent eyes to people can't help giving birth to a strong desire to conquer.

Really like it.

For a while, she began to make small calculations in her mind, and pulled Ji Wanying forward with enthusiasm, and whispered in front of her: "Sister Wanying is the most loved by the empress dowager, can you help me?" ?”

"Sister Yuan Xi is really interested in my cousin?"

Ji Wanying looked at her in surprise.

Ben was holding a tentative attitude, never thinking that she really fell in love with the emperor's cousin.

This is really both happy and worrying.

Fortunately, she still understands the temperament of her imperial cousin, and I am afraid that this little princess will only be mistaken for life.

Tang Yuanxi no longer pretended to be reserved, and vowed to take the initiative and frankly said: "I will never marry him in this life."

Ji Wanying's face was uncertain for a while, and then she smiled lightly: "Sister Yuanxi, if she really has this idea, it's easy to do. Your father is a general, and your mother is the queen mother's sister. Just let them persuade the empress dowager and Your Majesty. Marriage, isn't this a matter of course."

Tang Yuanxi smiled contentedly: "It's indeed a good idea."
