Your heart's desire

Getting the emperor's consent very smoothly, Luo Yan was very happy in his heart.

On the surface, this matter is the best thing, and it will benefit the emperor without any harm.It's just that he is in a high position, so he doesn't know much about the real appearance of the gang of tigers and wolves under him.

Those who are officials do not do business, do not farm, earn meager salaries, and are able to produce rare treasures, which one is not greedy.

The emperor followed Luo Yan's suggestion, thinking that his plan was to let these corrupt officials spit out what they had corrupted.

But I never thought that these officials have always been iron cocks who can only get in and out, misers, how could they have their treasure house taken away so easily.

What Luo Yan thought was to make them guard their property, and to plunder property from the people more violently, and gave them a high-sounding reason.Regardless of whether it is rare or not, once it is in the hands, there is no possibility of returning it.

Sure enough, three days later, the city had become a scene full of complaints.

On the fourth or fifth day, even worse.

Burning, looting and looting, thick smoke everywhere, dilapidated everywhere, crying.It is clearly the season of early spring, and the first buds of the trees are still unclear. In the evening, a heavy rain washes away several times, but it is a desolate scene.

There was mud in the air, and when the wind blew past it, it was unbearable to get into the nose.

The Lin Mansion is in the west of the city, far away from the center of the city, so it is difficult to hear these movements clearly.

It wasn't until someone came to report that Luo Yan drove the car with the cloth and food prepared in advance and followed into the city.

The officers and soldiers in the city had already retreated, and there were children crying loudly on the road, and the sound of women crying softly behind closed doors could be heard endlessly.

The car was driving in the middle of the road, and when it came to a door, it dropped some grain and cloth, but no one dared to open the door to get it from the beginning to the end, as if they were frightened.

"Fanzi's army has already arrived outside the customs, but our imperial court has done such a thing, it really opened my eyes!"

Luo Ya sat on the side of the sedan chair and walked around. When he finally looked back, he couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, not only the emperor miscalculated, but even Luo Yan himself miscalculated.

At the beginning, he just thought that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were looking for treasures, at most it was more than a set of gifts.And these even worse recipients are just some big households in the city.

These big families are all troublemakers. In the past, they were just according to the standard, no matter how poor or poor they were, they were all ordinary gifts.

Now that the burden falls on their shoulders, there will definitely be complaints.After that, it was time for him to win the hearts of the people himself.

But it never occurred to me that things would become like this.

Right now, standing on a high place and taking a look at the scene in Beijing, it is already like a land swept by locusts, which makes people click their tongues.

The servant who accompanied him sighed, then turned the carriage around and headed towards the mansion.

Talent walked halfway, but saw Ding Xiang walking towards him from a distance, standing in front of him waving to stop.

"What's the matter, Miss Lilac, in such a hurry?"

He gasped for a few breaths on the spot, moved his feet that were hurting from running, and jumped onto the side of the carriage with one arm propped up, before saying: "Drive faster!"

The boy looked puzzled, and reluctantly followed her wishes.Luo Yan lifted the curtain and looked out. When his eyes met Ding Xiang, he heard her whisper a few words: "The emperor sent someone to the mansion, saying that he wanted to bring the bodies of those envoys with him." Go, hang it on the tower to show the public! Lord Lin is bedridden, there is no one in charge of the house, if you don’t go back, I’m afraid you will have to do it by force.”

Ding Xiang's eyes were anxious and flustered, she acted a little violently just now, and now her breathing was a little heavy, she probably hadn't calmed down yet.

On the other side, Luo Yan was originally leisurely, but was suddenly caught off guard by the sudden news, his eyes opened suddenly, and he didn't say a word until the section of the road to the gate of Lin Mansion.

The boy was still puzzled, after hearing this, he didn't say anything else, only quietly accelerated the speed of the car.

The car drove quickly on the road for half a stick of incense, and finally arrived at the road in front of the gate of the mansion.

Looking forward along this road, there are two rows of Jinyi guards with knives in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion, lined up beside the gate, looking at the formation, it must be before leaving, a string on Luo Yan's heart is slowly loosened up.

The carriage was driven a hundred feet away by the visitor's sedan chair, before it came to a complete stop, he stepped out from the gap between the two of them, jumped off the ground, and ran towards the gate.

Climbing up the steps, when we reached the door, there happened to be a few strong men coming out of the mansion carrying a wooden plank. The corner of a white cloth covered by the wooden plank was blown by the wind, and the clothes of the people inside were exposed. , Luo Yan can understand this situation clearly.

"Master Shangshu!"

Shuntian Fu Yin who came out followed and bowed to salute, but his cold face did not change at all.

Looking deeper, I saw that the person inside who was smiling with his hands behind his back was none other than Brother Chao Jiu.After thinking for a while, he raised his hand to stop the person: "You can't take this person away, send him back!"

The smile on Shuntian Fu Yin's face just started, and when he met this iceberg face, he froze suddenly.

Seeing him striding into the mansion again, followed by Brother Jiu and the two of them giving in to each other, he waved his hand unwillingly, signaling the strong men to put him on the ground first and stop moving forward .

Lin Ying fell asleep in the room, just now Brother Jiu opened the door and went in to have a look, seeing that the person was already a bit out of control, so he didn't make much noise, and stepped back out again.

But a dozen people were writhing back and forth on the courtyard, and the rustling and even heavy bangs had already woken him up.

As soon as Ding Xiang returned to the mansion, she rushed to the house, and when she opened the door, she just saw his hands resting on the side of the bed, trying to support her body.

"My lord, you are awake!"

Girl Ding Xiang was overjoyed, she rushed forward to support Lin Ying, but seeing Lin Ying's expression was agitated, she grabbed her hand and kept asking: "Why is the house so busy today, but Chi Pin and He Jian are back? "

He had been lying down for a long time, his limbs were weak, and while he was talking, tears were also overflowing, like a madman. Although his body was weak, he tried his best to stand up and go out to have a look.

Seeing him like this, Ding Xiang couldn't help but wet her eyes, and hugged him tightly in her arms, fearing that he would slip off the bed and fall into something bad.The shaking movement was a bit loud, and a few tears fell down Lin Ying's neck.

"No, no, it's not the two adults who are back, it's Brother Nine, Brother Nine has come to the house!"

I don't know if it was because of these words or because of that teardrop, his lunatic behavior froze suddenly, the light in his expression dimmed for a moment, and he slowly lowered his head in a sluggish appearance.

"It's not that they're back, it's not them!"

With a movement of his lips, he muttered a few words, and lost the strength to support his body, so he fell towards the bed like that.

"Aren't you uncomfortable with you, my lord? This servant will find you a doctor and come to see me again!"

Seeing that he had settled down, Ding Xiang hurriedly tucked up the quilt for him, and straightened the loose hair on his forehead. While asking, she saw him staring blankly at one place without moving.

Lin Ying's head was blank at the moment, he didn't know what to think, and he didn't know what else to think.

He vaguely thought that Chi Pin had come back before he woke up.But when he opened his eyes, he found that it was just a sweet dream. The current situation was quite embarrassing, and he somehow passed the days to come peacefully.

"Don't worry about it, I know my own body well, and there's nothing serious about it."

He coughed twice, stroked his chest and tilted his head to the side, wishing that his body was already crippled, and he didn't need to bother too much, and he could fulfill his wish by just waiting, and ignore this heartbreaking thing world.

After saying this sentence, a deep tiredness welled up in my heart, because the movement just now had gone too far.

Regardless of other things, he slowly closed his eyes and took a nap, but after a short while, he opened them suddenly again, giving a jolt.

"What's your order?"

Ding Xiang was still standing by the bed, ready to guard against his needs at any time, but she didn't know what happened in this fleeting scene, and suddenly she looked like tears streaming down her face. Seeing that she opened her eyes, she raised her sleeves and hurriedly wiped Wipe and cover up.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Ying showed a puzzled look, and frowned puzzledly.After wiping away her tears, Ding Xiang regained her composure, grinned before speaking: "My lord is fine, Ding Xiang is just happy, your lord is finally awake, and you are finally all right."

While she was smiling, her tears fell more wantonly than before, hitting the silk clothes and rolling down, dripping onto the ground.

Lin Ying was taken aback by this situation, and wanted to raise his hand to wipe her tears, but he couldn't hold it anymore when he raised it halfway, and fell down suddenly, hitting the ground with a bang, feeling the pain in his heart, It made him frown.

Ding Xiang quickly bowed to pick his arm into the quilt, rubbed it in the quilt, her eyes were full of concern: "It's okay, but it still hurts?"

Lin Yingben already felt that a heart in his chest had died.If Luo Yan didn't have the warmth, he might wake up today, find the red lacquered pillar in front of the door and knock on it, and return to the west with those relatives who are bound by the curse on him.But he never cared about it, there is still a person who cares about him so much by his side.

"It doesn't hurt, it's fine!"

He forced a smile, looked at the delicate woman in front of him, who was still as young as a flower, and suddenly pulled her hand away.

"Ding Xiang, my lord will find you a relative, find a good family, and live a good life, are you willing?"

Suddenly there was another noise outside, and the wind blew the branches outside the window.Ding Xiang knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed.

"Ding Xiang did something wrong, sir, just say it, and don't drive Ding Xiang away."
