    "ah?"

    Lin Nan was stunned when he heard this. Only when Ai Cao finished describing what he heard and saw in detail did Lin Nan understand the whole story.  While confused, I couldn't help but ponder.  In my own impression, Ziyao behaves well and talks well. At least he is definitely well-educated.  And judging from what Uncle Qiao saw in the end, his family background must be that of an official.  But since this is the case, if you follow the grand formation like grandma, it should be revealed what kind of family they are.  So far, no news has come, and it seems that there are only two possibilities left.

    "One is that the banker himself is not from the capital. They met in the suburbs of Beijing that day, and Ziyao came to visit relatives.  But if this was the case, Ziyao, who was forcibly taken away in Xiangyang City, would not have said anything like asking her to meet him in the capital.  It can be seen that this statement is not reliable.

    The other one wouldn't it be such a coincidence?  He traveled south that day, and for reasons not known to outsiders, he changed his name and became Qiao Shanhu.  Since he behaves like this, then Ziyaocould he also use a false name for similar reasons?  Just like what Ai Cao said, could Wei Ziyao become Zhuang Ziyao?

    As soon as this idea appeared in Lin Nan's mind, he immediately felt so ridiculous that even he couldn't believe it.  But when I calm down and think about it carefully, I feel that it is not impossible.  Especially since the Lin family, the Zhao family and the palace have such a large network of contacts, they are unable to find out the banker's information. In comparison, this possibility becomes even greater

    We should be afraid of the eventuality in everything. If this thing is really such a coincidence, then we will continue to develop like this.  When the day comes when the old lady's patience runs out and she finds another family to arrange a marriage for herself, then it will be too late.  Now, I can only think of killing the wrong person without letting go. Whether it is right or wrong, I have to figure it out for myself.  The thought of this.  Lin Nan couldn't sit still, and quickly called Chun He and Lin Si. After giving careful instructions, he sent the two people out.

    ¡­¡­

    The Lin Mansion is in full swing, and Wei Cheng is also making progress.

    Although his daughter¡¯s marriage has been on his mind these days, his job still needs to be given top priority, so Wei Cheng still goes to court step by step and assists Zheng Huan, the Minister of Household Affairs, in handling official documents.  But I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a psychological effect or something else.  Wei Cheng felt that the attitudes of some people around him seemed a bit strange.  There were several times when colleagues with familiar faces were talking. As soon as he passed by, they either changed the topic or stopped talking.  Due to his feelings, Wei Cheng couldn't ask further questions, but deep down he felt that this strangeness might have something to do with his daughter and the Lin family's affairs.

    Realizing this, Wei Cheng was even more anxious and eager to resolve the matter.  Take advantage of your free time while on duty.  Wei Cheng walked through several government offices, met with his old superiors, looked at his old colleagues, and also checked in with his current colleagues on the situation.  Perhaps Wei Cheng had not been feeling well for many days in a row.  God opened my eyes, I actually got some information from an old colleague.

    This old man was from the same hometown as Zhang Zhong, who was now promoted to the commander of the Hannan capital. They left their hometown together to work hard. Although one is in the south and the other is in the north, they still exchange news with each other from time to time.  After the rebellion subsided a few days ago, this old man also wrote a letter to Zhang Zhong in the capital, but Zhang Zhong had not yet been promoted to the capital commander.  Therefore, this letter only expresses the concern between friends, and the war is in chaos.  Guaranteeing safety is the greatest comfort in the world.

    The content of the correspondence itself is very ordinary, but it is a reply letter from Zhang Zhong.  But besides the daily pleasantries, there is something else.  During this counterinsurgency, Zhang Zhong also experienced several dangerous situations in Xiangyang City and Yuerwa, and almost lost his life on the battlefields of the two armies.  The rest of the life after the disaster will inevitably give rise to many emotions.  At the same time, when facing the young man named Qiao Shanhu whom he met on the battlefield, he also said a few words without hesitation in pen and ink, which gave rise to awe-inspiring praise, which was rarely seen in previous letters.  Therefore, this old colleague was also very impressed. Later, the court gossip talked about the great achievements in quelling the chaos, and it was confirmed one after another. This information became the most direct first-hand information when it was placed in front of Wei Cheng.

    However, Wei Cheng was slightly disappointed that in Zhang Zhong's letter to his friend, there was no description of Qiao Shanhu's life experience and origin. It would not be difficult to connect Qiao Shanhu's position.  I understand Zhang Zhong¡¯s caution.  But what Wei Cheng wanted now was not mentioned at all. It was like eating a hot bun that had just come out of the pan and you didn't see the filling after taking several bites. It was so suffocating and uncomfortable.

    Wei Cheng thought about it, and finally wanted to risk his life and rush to Feiling Weidong Town Fusi to go to Du Ning to ask directly. As a result, just before he hesitated to make up his mind, the court suddenly issued a decree.  After this decree was issued, not to mention the other people in the court, Wei Cheng alone felt as if he was suddenly knocked over by a huge wave, making him dizzy and at a loss!

      The content of this decree is the result of the previous private discussion between Emperor Qiyuan and Du Ning.  Generally speaking, it means that the affairs of the imperial court were heavy before, and after the flood and war, there were too many things to deal with, so some things were not handled completely in time.  Many people have performed meritorious services some time ago, but the court did not give them the rewards they deserve in time. The emperor's holy candle illuminates the sky and sees thousands of miles. This time, there will be people who have made contributions, especially the civil servants and generals who quelled the floods and rebellions.  List them one by one and award them to show fairness.

    Accompanying the imperial edict was an additional list of rewards. It was a long list. Qian Hai, the official standing in the palace, read them one by one in the court, sonorously.  Under the deliberate promotion of Emperor Qiyuan, on the list of rewards, there were not only the officials and junior officials who contributed to the flood control in the southeast, and the generals and commanders who quelled the rebellion, but also those who worked behind the scenes to mobilize money and food and prepare logistics when floods and rebellions coincided.  There are many civil servants working in various fields.

    If the first award was targeted, then this time it is relatively comprehensive.  Although the standards of this award are relatively low, and most of the officials who were awarded are middle-level officials, and only a few are high-level officials, this move shows that the emperor is aware of every detail and appreciates merit.  The will to punish the people also greatly inspired officials and people both inside and outside the government, and also promoted the ongoing post-war and post-disaster reconstruction process.

    Therefore, after this imperial edict was issued, the court hall was full of praises and praises, and Wei Cheng also felt deeply.  However, before his feelings could fade away, Qian Hai read a name and the following reward, which made Wei Cheng's eyes widen in shock!

    "Lin Nan, the former editor of the Hanlin Academy, went south for inspection according to the order. He happened to pass through Xiangyang and met the vassal king who was planning to rebel. He fought a bloody battle with Feiling Wei Qiu Biao and others in Xiangyang, and was promoted to a hundred households after accumulating merit. He successively participated in the pacification of the war.  He killed the Jiang Donglai and the East China Sea giant Luo Fang, and performed meritorious service in the defense. Later, he assisted Zhang Zhong, the commander of the Han Dynasty, and led more than fifty scouts to pursue the rebels. They relieved their siege in Puxia Town, hunted down and annihilated them.  He captured nearly a thousand of the Huai King's rebels. It can be said that he has both civil and military skills and great military exploits! He was specially given a royal horse and a sword, and was given the title of Qianhu, a member of the army, and was transferred to the vanguard of the government army, accompanying him on the left and right!"

    As soon as this article came out, there was a low commotion in the court.

    It has just been more than half a year since the scientific examination. At that time, Lin Nan was able to visit the high school and parade around the streets, so his name was no stranger to these people. The so-called Hanlin editor was Lin Nan's subsequent post.  This is not surprising. What is strange is what is said in this decree.  Order to investigate Based on the previous information, well-informed people already knew that this was done by Feilingwei's system.  But a scholar who had just taken the scientific examination suddenly became a secret agent of Feiling Guards. Isn't this a big step?

    That¡¯s not all, what¡¯s next?

    Fight with Feiling Guard Qiu Biao and others in a bloody battle in Xiangyang!  During the war to quell the chaos, Jiang Donglai and Luo Fang, the giants of Jiang and Hai pirates, were killed one after another!  Jiang Donglai may not be well-known in the north, but officials from the south know his reputation on the river; as for Donghai Luo Fang, he is a notorious bandit both inside and outside the court.  Both of these people were killed by this talented scholar?  !

    That¡¯s not all!

    The news behind is even more shocking!  With a scout team of more than fifty people, they defeated nearly a thousand soldiers of King Huai!  Many people are now familiar with this news, and as the news spread, the number of Huai Prince's soldiers who were defeated ranged from nearly a thousand to thousands, but the person who led the army to defeat the enemy was confirmed.  Zhang Zhong, the current conductor of the Hannan Capital Command!  Why is there another Lin Nan in this imperial edict?  What is even more confusing, heart-breaking, and even unbelievable is that the creator of such a huge martial arts feat turned out to be a scholar who had just passed the merit examination!

    Except for a few people who knew the inside story and a few people who were close friends with the Lin family, most of the people in the court were dumbfounded and looked at each other in disbelief, with some doubts in their hearts about the authenticity of what was stated in the decree.  However, some civil servants, especially some officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, used a scribe who had just obtained a prominent name in scientific research to conduct some investigations and searches that were unrelated to or even contradictory to the documents, especially using Feiling.  Wei's identity was concealed and he had a lot of opinions.

    This kind of reaction in the court was already expected by Emperor Qiyuan. Emperor Qiyuan coughed lightly on his throne. The commotion suddenly stopped. Qian Hai paused and continued reading the list of rewards.  But now Wei Cheng has no intention of listening anymore.

    Now his heart was in a state of confusion, like an overturned five-flavor bottle, and he couldn't tell what it felt like.

    Most uninformed people may not pay much attention to the content of this reward, but not Wei Cheng!  In these days, apart from handling necessary official matters at court, there were only two names that kept recurring in Wei Cheng's mind. One was Lin Nan from the Lin family in Jingbei House, and the other was the one his daughter admired and who was previously rumored to be Feilingwei.  The young hero Qiao Shanhu.  After being declined by the Lin family, Wei ChengHe wanted to find this Qiao Shanhu, and wanted to use this rising star to kill the Lin family's arrogance.  But who would have known that all the enthusiasm would disappear without a trace, just like being poured with cold water after the imperial court issued a decree!

    Combining the first-hand information obtained from the old Tong Nian, Wei Cheng was 100% sure that the so-called Qiao Shanhu was the guy who was the matchmaker of Aunt Tao, the boy from the Lin Mansion on Gushi Street - Lin Nan!
