Jiang Sheng nodded and slowly told the story.

The young man's surname was Lin, and his given name was Shen. He was from Gyeongju Prefecture, not far from the capital. The Lin family had been practicing medicine for generations and was quite famous in Gyeongju Prefecture.

Last year, the eldest prince caught a cold while he was dealing with a river disaster in Gyeongju Prefecture, so the people around him asked the Lin family to treat him.

This was nothing, but it just happened that day that Lin Shen and his father went out to see patients, and his elder sister Lin Lu went to the government office to see patients. Unexpectedly, she never came back after that.

The father and son went to the government office to ask for the release of the person, but the government office told them that his elder sister had become a concubine of a big shot, and then gave the Lin family some rewards and sent the person away.

The father and son naturally didn't believe it. After all, although the Lin family was not as wealthy as the others, they had been surnamed Lin for generations, so they still had connections and assets.

As the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Lu has a good family background and status, so she would never become someone else's concubine. What's more, Lin Lu has already been engaged to her childhood sweetheart, who is a close friend of hers. The two have a deep affection for each other and are going to get married next year.

Lin Shen and his father went to the government office every day to ask for people, and after a few days, the people in the government office let them in.

"and after?"

Jiang Sheng sighed

"Later, news came out that the Lin family father and son assassinated the eldest prince Qi Junyi. Lin's father died on the spot, and Lin Shen was nowhere to be found. I didn't expect that he would come to the capital."

In the previous life, Lin Shen appeared in the Lu family and was brought back by Lu Xuan. He rested here for more than a month, and then suddenly disappeared. Not long after, it was heard that Qi Junyi was confined by His Majesty and his position as regent was removed.

Although she didn't know the specific details, she speculated that Qi Junyi's fall from power at that time had a lot to do with Lin Shending.

Lu Wenzhou pondered for a moment

"Qi Junyi has some talent, but he is too licentious. He has countless concubines in his mansion. If he was responsible for this, it is not impossible."

However, they didn't know the details and had to meet Lin Shen before they could make any plans.

After dinner, under the cover of moonlight, Lu Wenzhou took Jiang Sheng to the house where Lin Shen was staying. When they arrived, Lin Shen had already woken up, but he was very weak due to too many wounds on his body.

When he saw them, the boy's eyes were full of vigilance.

"Who are you and why did you save me?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and replied

"Lin Shen, I'm Jiang Sheng. We met when you were little."

When Jiang Sheng was young, she went on a trip to Gyeongju Prefecture with her uncle and aunt. She caught a cold on the way, so her uncle and aunt took her to the famous Lin family for treatment.

At that time, Lin Shen was still a child of six or seven years old.

"This is my husband, Lu Wenzhou. Lin Shen, how did you end up in the capital? But what happened to the Lin family?"

When Lin Shen heard Lu Wenzhou's identity, he struggled to get up and asked weakly:

"But the Lu family of the General's Mansion?"

Lu Wenzhou nodded, Lin Shenqiang got out of bed and knelt in front of Lu Wenzhou.

"Although I am still young, I have always heard that the Lu family are upright and righteous people who protect their country. Lin Shen begs you to make the decision for my Lin family."

He banged his head several times until blood was flowing. Although he was just a boy of eleven or twelve years old, he was determined to fight to the death.

Lu Wenzhou helped the man up

"You get up first, and we can talk slowly."

Lin Shen coughed a few times

"Thank you Mr. Lu."

What happened before was pretty much the same as they knew. He and his father went to the government office every day to ask for someone. Maybe he was annoyed by the noise, so he let the two of them into the government office.

They thought they could see Lin Lu, but instead they only saw a young man with an arrogant look.

The man was a little nonchalant at first, as if he was too lazy to deal with the father and son, until he saw Lin Shen.

"Who did you say you were looking for?"

The prefect said tremblingly

"Reporting to His Royal Highness the First Prince, they are looking for the female doctor who treated His Royal Highness a few days ago."

After hearing the title of the prefect, the father and son realized the origin of this noble young man. He was actually His Royal Highness the Prince.

The man sneered.

"That female doctor, do you want to see someone?"

Lin Shen stepped forward and kowtowed

"Your Highness, my elder sister hasn't returned home for many days. My father and I are very worried. Please allow my elder sister to return with us. We will be very grateful."

Qi Junyi seemed to have suddenly become interested.

"It's not impossible for you to meet someone. Come on, I'll take you there myself."

Lin Shen and his son stood up happily, but Qi Junyi's men stopped Lin's father outside. Lin's father didn't know why at first, but when he saw Qi Junyi leading his son farther and farther away, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The prefect beside him sighed deeply.

"Doctor Lin, why did you and your son have to make this trip? I sent someone to tell you to stay at home and stay safe, but why didn't you listen?"

Although the prefect of Gyeongju Prefecture was not honest and frugal, he still had a conscience. The Lin family had been in Gyeongju Prefecture for many years and had excellent medical skills and good medical ethics. Even he admired them very much. However, as a local official, he could not compete with the prince at all.

He knew that only by sacrificing Lin Lu could he protect the father and son of the Lin family from this accident, so he secretly sent someone to deliver a letter to them, asking them to stay safe and that the eldest prince would not stay in Qingzhou Prefecture for long. However, the father of the Lin family loved his daughter so much that he came to make trouble every day.

Father Lin suddenly felt bad.

"My Lord, what do you mean?"

The prefect just patted Lin's father on the shoulder helplessly.

"Doctor Lin, since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. Although I am the governor of a prefecture, I am powerless against the Tian family. Now... Alas..."

After saying this, the prefect left.

Father Lin stood up and was about to look for his son, but was stopped by the eldest prince's men.

Seeing that several hours had passed and his son had not returned yet, Father Lin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. At this time, someone suddenly came and said that he would take him to see someone.

Father Lin followed him there impatiently, but when he arrived at the room, he saw a scene that made him burst into tears.

The daughter was lying on the ground in tattered clothes and covered with wounds, and she was already dead.

My son was lying on the bed in a trance, with red slap marks on his cheeks and red marks all over his body from being pinched.

The eldest prince stood aside with a satisfied look on his face, while the servants were helping him to put on his clothes.

Father Lin looked at his daughter and then at his son, and pointed at the eldest prince with a trembling voice and said

"Beast! You beast!"

After saying that, he picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at the eldest prince.

The eldest prince did not move, but Lin's father was seriously injured by the eldest prince's guard.

The eldest prince stepped on Lin's father and said condescendingly

"I like your son very much, so I'll let him accompany me for a while. As for your boring daughter, I'll return her to you."

Father Lin spat out a mouthful of blood

"Ahem...you...you..."

He fell silent before he finished speaking.
