110. Embroidery Mother 32
Seeing the officers and soldiers break into the Danyan Embroidery House with long spears, Meng Zhong shook a cup of hot tea and slowly smiled. Empress Du just returned to the imperial city and had not yet gained a position. To put it bluntly, she was just an outdoor room that was unclear and unknown. What should she use to compete with Concubine Li, who has a solid foundation and a royal heir?
Concubine Li was fooled by the emperor's attitude and failed to fight back in time. Now that she has recovered, she will naturally eradicate the remnants of the Du family. Meng Zhong was lucky enough to get on the Li family line, and while dealing with the Du brothers and sisters, he also stepped on Lin Dan into the mud. He was so serious that he wanted to see how Lin Dan turned over this time.
In the warehouse of Danyan Embroidery House, Lin Dan's hands were cut by two soldiers and knelt on the ground with force. The leader pointed at the box that he had pried open, and his tone was cold: "Lin, you are so brave!"
"This box is not ours! You frame us!" Du Ruyan kicked and kicked Lin Dan hostage with anger. The box was hidden in the box. If it were found alone, there would be nothing, but there was a bright yellow silk piece next to it.
Jujube wood is also known as mulberry wood. Leaves can be raised in silkworms, trunks can be used to make furniture, and more importantly, it can also be used as dyes. Since the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the bright yellow fabric worn by emperors has been rendered with it, so it is a tribute. But at present, this piece of jujube wood and this bright yellow silk are actually hidden in a small folk embroidery house, and this embroidery house has a close connection with Queen Du. If the news comes back to the capital, what would the emperor think? The trust he just established in Queen Du may be completely dispersed.
Du Ruyan instantly understood that today's farce was not only for dealing with Lin Dan, but also for dealing with her aunt. She had long said that her aunt should not return to the place where people can eat, and should not be infected with these pickled things anymore. Why did she insist on doing it alone?
Du Ruyan's eyes quickly turned red, and she looked like she was about to cry.
Lin Dan's tone was very calm: "Don't cry, go find your brother first."
The leading officers and soldiers immediately sneered: "What brother are you looking for? You have harbored zhe wood and bright yellow silk and have committed the crime of treason. No one can escape today, they have to be imprisoned in the prison! There will be someone to arrest Du Rusong, so you can go to the prison and wait for him."
After hearing this, Du Ruyan collapsed suddenly, but Lin Dan lowered her head slightly to hide her cruel expression. At this point, she could not provide evidence to show her innocence. It would be better to kill all these people and take her mother, two concubines and Cuilan to escape together. The Japanese women were also brought along with them. They followed the Japanese pirates on the sea, and they knew exactly where there were islands that could live. After going to those islands and staying away from the rule of the Great Zhou Kingdom, she did whatever she liked, even if she was a pirate, it was better than being killed by others.
After thinking about it, Lin Dan's eyes were filled with murderous aura. He was about to break free from the hostage of the officers and soldiers and launched an attack, but he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside.
"Mr. Xiao, you are so majestic!" Du Rusong strode in and saw Lin Dan being pressed to the ground, his eyes couldn't help but condense.
"General Du, you are here. We are about to send someone to the barracks to invite you. Now, everyone is here, so there is no need to bother brothers to go for another trip." The officer and soldier named Xiao pointed to the box in the corner and said, "Is this your thing? Who is this cloth for? Please ask General Du to go to Lord Li to explain in person."
"No need to go to the yamen. I can tell you now that this cloth was dyed for my aunt." Du Rusong wanted to pull out his sword and chop the two men holding Lin Dan into meat sauce, but he forced himself to hold back. He gritted his teeth, held the anger in his heart, and then pulled his sister up.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense!" Du Ruyan shouted in horror.
Xiao Barman grinned and smiled fiercely. He was about to order all these traitors to be arrested, but Du Rusong said slowly: "The emperor has issued an order to re-enthrone my aunt as queen. The ceremony for enthronement will be held at the end of the month. This cloth was dyed by Miss Lin and was waiting to be sent to the imperial city to make a phoenix robe for her. If Xiao Barman likes it, take the cloth away. I will write a letter to my aunt to explain the whole story later."
"No, it's impossible! I've never heard of the deposed queen being enthroned again! This is absolutely impossible!" Xiao Bashen's proud expression had been replaced by fear.
"Do you believe it or not?" Du Rusong kicked the two officers and soldiers away, pulled Lin Dan into his arms, and patted her back with great care and ginger, and said with a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm implicating you this time. Don't be afraid of me."
Lin Dan used his broad chest to curl away the murderous aura in his eyes, shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid."
Du Rusong patted her back again, and then said softly: "Let's go back." Then he held his sweetheart in one hand and supported his sister with the other, and walked out slowly. Before leaving the door, he turned his head and looked at the officers and soldiers who came today, putting their faces into their hearts one by one, just waiting for the next day to settle the accounts.
His eyes didn't seem to be looking at a living person, but it seemed to be looking at a dead object. The officers and soldiers shivered, and they didn't dare to stop them at all and let them go. The soldiers who came with Du Rusong made a neck wiping action, and their smiles were very bloody.
After they left, a soldier trembled and said, "Master Xiao Ba, has the deposed queen really reinstated?"
"This must be Du Rusong's delaying plan!" Xiao Ba said with gritted teeth, but did not dare to mention the arrest of the person again. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go back today and wait until the news is confirmed."
"What should we do if the news is true?"
This question made Xiao Bachang look pale and his liver and gallbladder. His eyes kept changing, and he finally smiled grimly: "Then let's confess the people above and die together!"
Seeing Du Rusong leading the intact Lin Dan and Du Ruyan out, Meng Zhong was a little disappointed, but he didn't think they could escape this disaster. Conspiracy to rebel was a serious crime to kill the nine clans, and even Queen Du couldn't escape, let alone these little fish.
However, at this moment, Du Rusong and Lin Dan raised their heads at the same time and looked at him with the same cold eyes, which made the smile on his lips stiffen on his face. He accidentally knocked over the teacup and burned his wrist. He immediately took a few steps back and avoided the two of them's eyes, and his heart beat rapidly.
Du Rusong fought out of the bloody storm, and it was not surprising that he was strong, but Lin Dan was not inferior to him at all. The strong and indelible evil aura was as suffocating as the hell. Lin Dan was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface! Thinking of this, a sense of ominousness rose in Meng Zhong's heart.
After boarding the carriage, Du Ruyan said in a low voice: "Brother, has the aunt really been crowned as queen?"
"Really, I just received her letter. In a few days, the news will reach Lin'an Mansion." Du Rusong poured Lin Dan a cup of hot tea, and his voice was soft: "Dan'er, drink a sip of water to suppress his shock."
"Thank you, I was not scared." Lin Dan handed the cup to Du Ruyan.
Du Ruyan quickly poured a cup of tea and said admiringly: "Dandan, are you not afraid at all? If we are really arrested, it would be a serious crime to kill the nine clans!"
"What are you afraid of? At worst, you can kill all those people. We take a boat to sea and become pirates. My mother has a channel to build weapons and armor. Your brother can get warships through the military camp. I have a little force. You are good at doing business and can help us sell stolen goods. When we go out of the sea, we do whatever we want and get as much money as we want. It is not as sad as we are now." Lin Dan said as she looked a yearning look, as if she had not been able to kill and become a master. It is a very regrettable thing to be wanted.
Du Ruyan was stunned and the teacup in her hand fell on the mat with a squeak.
Du Rusong was stunned for a moment, then covered his face and smiled. He should have thought that Dan'er could think of a way to survive under any circumstances. She was the most fierce girl in the Great Zhou Kingdom, no doubt about it.
"Dan'er, why are you so cute?" Seeing Lin Dan's serious appearance, Du Rusong changed from a dull smile to a bright smile.
Du Ruyan also giggled, and the fears before had completely disappeared. She should have thought of it long ago that as long as there was Dandan, she didn't need to worry about anything, because Dandan could always think of a solution. What's wrong with being a pirate? Being a pirate can roam around the world and run rampant, it's much easier than now!
When the group returned home, Du Rusong got out of the car first, then turned around, inserted his hands into Lin Dan's armpit without saying a word, and hugged her down. He was already very tall, and he fought all over the years, and had a lot of tempering and became stronger. Lin Dan inherited Lin Dafu's short and dumb figure, and never grew taller after he was fifteen years old.
Now she was held in her hand by Du Rusong, like a doll holding a doll, her thin legs kicked in the air for a few times before she barely stepped on the ground. Du Ruyan saw her funny appearance, covered her mouth and laughed again. Unexpectedly, the gods and ghosts were indifferent, and there was such a time of embarrassment.
Zhang Hui, who walked out to greet her daughter, was slightly stunned. Her eyes looked at Du Rusong and she couldn't help but look at her. This person took care of her daughter so carefully. Could it be that she fell in love with her? Oh, this is not possible. Her daughter is going to recruit a man, and she can't be married to the powerful!
Thinking of this, she immediately found an excuse to pull her daughter into the house and threw her to the door.
Du Rusong touched his nose, smiling helplessly, but he had no intention of giving up.
Three days later, the news that Empress Du was deposed and then enthroned finally reached Lin'an Prefecture. The Du brother and sister suddenly became popular figures in the local area. The officers and soldiers who went to search for Danyan Xiuzhuang were arrested. Du Rusong personally tried and tried torture. Some people failed to survive the torture and died in prison. Some people were randomly involved, which really led many colleagues to the water, making the situation even more confusing.
