After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 82 Book of Life and Death
Lu Linzhi was wearing a thin white brocade shirt and standing quietly in the center of the circular hall.
The candle lights in various places in the hall shone on him, and one could vaguely see his extremely delicate features, his straight and deep eyebrows, his high nose bridge, and his thin and sharp upturned lips, which made people feel very comfortable at first sight.
Seeing Fu Guiyun coming in, he first stepped forward and clasped his fists respectfully to salute. After they had performed the formalities, Lu Linzhi smiled and spoke, "How are you, Third Sister-in-law?"
His eyes and words were full of concern.
"Everything is fine."
Fu Guiyun replied with four words neatly. Seeing that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, he wanted to ask him a question out of courtesy, but thinking that he always kept his whereabouts secret, he didn't want to ask too much.
Although he was only the nephew of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the couple seemed to treat him with much more affection. They even let him take charge of the housework, which showed their extraordinary trust in him.
Thinking of what he had asked Cheng Kui to give him a while ago, Fu Guiyun thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Fourth Brother, for taking the trouble to clear up the chaos in the inner house for me, and for keeping little Kuizi by my side. I am really grateful."
She knew that without the Du Jiuniang relics sent by Lu Linzhi, Ji Chun would not have been able to gain the favor of the prince so quickly, and it would have been even more impossible for him to completely dislike Yun Ling in just a few months.
"The palace should be quieter. A family like the Lu family cannot stand being tossed around by people with ulterior motives."
Lu Linzhi did not mention how he got Du Jiuniang's relics, but just said: "I hope Third Sister-in-law has not been upset by these complicated trivial matters."
Fu Guiyun smiled at him and said, "Although it is a bit complicated, it doesn't make me too upset."
Her casual smile made Lu Linzhi's ears turn red, and he quickly suppressed the confusion that flashed through his mind.
At this moment, Lu Linzhi seemed to have truly seen through the clarity of her heart, and he also knew that she was by no means a mediocre person who only cared about trivial matters in the inner court. He nodded with satisfaction: "Third sister-in-law's wisdom and temperament are naturally not comparable to ordinary people."
After a moment's silence, he turned the topic to the purpose of his visit: "I heard from Xiao Kuizi that Third Sister-in-law has exchanged all the money in her vault for silver bills. She will be leaving in two days. She should not have any big expenses at this time. If she uses the silver bills in Yundu to exchange for the local flower bills in Liyang City, it is really not a cost-effective deal."
He looked at Fu Guiyun meaningfully and asked in a quiet tone, "Did Third Sister-in-law encounter any difficulties?"
There was suddenly something strange in his eyes, and Fu Guiyun immediately became alert, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Let me take a guess."
Lu Linzhi pretended not to notice and smiled knowingly at her: "Currently, the Earl of Changping's Mansion is in great trouble. I heard that the Fu and Song families are old friends. Third sister-in-law has always valued friendship and loyalty. I'm afraid she can't bear to see that family fall into trouble, so I want to use some money to see if I can mediate."
After saying this, he narrowed his almond-shaped eyes and stared at her: "I wonder if Third Sister-in-law thinks my guess is right or wrong?"
Fu Guiyun was a little surprised when he heard this.
I don’t know if he has the ability to predict the future or if he is too meticulous, but he actually guessed what I was thinking.
Even if the Song and Fu families had some friendship, there were many people in Yundu City who had close friendships with the Song family. Among the courtiers who came to the palace to plead for mercy, how many of them did not sincerely want to save the Song family? How could he make so many inferences based solely on the fact that he had mobilized money?
While he was still thinking, Lu Linzhi started talking again: "The Dali Temple Minister is indeed a very suitable candidate, but buying people's hearts with money is not reliable after all, and it is difficult for him to handle this matter alone. If the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture is also involved, it will definitely be watertight."
Fu Guiyun was stunned again.
She had not revealed her plan to anyone. How did this guy know what she was thinking? Even the plan of looking for the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple coincided with his?
This guy is really too smart.
She frowned while pretending to be calm: "The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture? If I remember correctly, this person is a confidant of Emperor Hui who was promoted by him."
"It's hard to say about confidants. It's just a result of snobbery."
Lu Linchu said in a calm tone: "Speaking of Emperor Hui's confidants, wasn't Song Weizhao also someone he valued, and he even claimed to be his brother? But didn't he betray Emperor Hui during the battle in the northern border and even went to the enemy country to become someone's consort?"
This made sense, and Fu Guiyun immediately agreed with his point of view.
"Let me do it."
Lu Linzhi volunteered, "We Lu family members do have some quirks. Third brother likes to make friends with women from the underworld, and I also like to make friends with people from the underworld. Over the years, I have been fortunate to meet some talented people. With their help, even if Emperor Hui finds out about something in the future, he won't be able to find any trace of it, and it will be even more difficult to trace it to you and me."
After hearing what he said, Fu Guiyun immediately thought of a famous name: "Jiangzuo Liren Gang?"
The most mysterious organization in the entire Dakang Dynasty. It is rumored that the members of the Li Ren Gang are all detached from the mundane world, hence the name. They almost control the entire waterway network in the south, and even official ships sometimes ask them for shelter.
Thinking of this, Fu Guiyun looked at him closely: "Fourth brother, are you trying to ask them for help?"
Lu Linzhi did not respond to her question, but raised four fingers: "Although all kinds of monsters have been gathered together, it is impossible to protect the entire Song family under the eyes of Emperor Hui. My limit is four lives. Please give me your instructions, Third Sister-in-law."
"Four lives."
This was far beyond Fu Guiyun's expectations. She had thought that being able to save the uncle and his wife was a blessing in disguise, but now that the Book of Life and Death that decided life and death was handed to her, she still felt extremely embarrassed.
The kindness of the Lord must be repaid in this life. Although Wang is not liked by her, she is Song Weizhao's mother after all. If she wants to stop him from killing in the future, this person must also be protected.
There is also Song Weizhao’s younger sister. She is only seven years old, and the world’s scenes are waiting for her to see.
The illegitimate brothers and sisters in the Earl's Mansion were all kind, and many of the nine clans of the Song family treated her very well in their previous lives.
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes with sadness, wishing she could save more people.
She was destined to be unable to escape the helplessness of her past life in this life, and she could only watch these lovely lives slip away before her eyes.
She really hated why God sent such an unpopular and incompetent emperor like Emperor Hui to be born. Under his rule, the old saying that good people are not rewarded, and disasters will last for thousands of years really came true.
"Third sister-in-law has a heart of compassion for the common people, but the will of heaven cannot be violated. Try your best in everything and you will be true to your heart."
Knowing that she was heartbroken, Lu Linzhi comforted her kindly, "At least Third Sister-in-law saved four lives. I'm afraid your sister will never be able to achieve this."
When he mentioned his legitimate sister, Fu Guiyun was speechless. He didn't want to discuss this person anymore, so he said in a serious tone who he wanted to save: "Please do your best to save the uncle and his wife and their young daughter, and leave the other glimmer of hope to the illegitimate young son."
"Okay." Lu Linzhi responded lightly.
Fu Guiyun didn't know why he took the initiative to mention helping him save the Song family today, and couldn't help asking, "Even if Lu Changshi arranged this matter more carefully, there are still some risks. I really don't know why Lu Changshi took this risk?"
Lu Linzhi stared at her silently without saying a word for a long time.
For a moment, Fu Guiyun also noticed the strangeness in his eyes.
But Lu Linzhi smiled wickedly: "All the civil and military officials in the court have come to the palace to ask for orders. I can understand the principles that everyone can understand, but the way of doing things is different. What the third sister-in-law thinks is what I want."
Fu Guiyun was half-believing and half-doubting his words.
Others who came to the palace to ask for favors were doing their best, but he and himself were fighting for their lives.
There was some selfish motive in this action of Lu Linzhi, and it was not worth it for both public and private reasons.
Fu Guiyun had already realized that he was hiding something.
But he had some concerns, so he didn't want to ask too much. After the two said goodbye, Fu Guiyun went straight back to Chuxian Palace.
