[Comprehensive] Cannon fodder, do you want to counterattack?

The room is clean and tidy, and the light is not dim. The solid wooden bed is covered with brand-new quilts, and a set of simple desk wooden stools are placed on the bed. There are oil lamps, four books and five classics, pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the desk... a little far away from the bed There is also a set of tables and chairs for eating.

As a prison cell, the conditions here seem too good, even the toilet is brand new, and the farthest corner is thoughtfully isolated with a simple screen.

Lin Ruo was sent here as soon as he entered Dali Temple. He was still wearing a white Confucian uniform with a wide robe and sleeves. No one asked him to change into a prison uniform, and no one searched for his belongings. They just treated him politely. Sent here as if he were visiting—except for the locked cell door.

Lin Ruo wasn't too surprised, this was the time when Li Yuan cared about him the most, none of the above masters would dare to humiliate him or kill him at this time, unless... Li Yuan was tired of him first.

Now maybe he is going to suffer some hardships, he is not afraid of hardships, he is only worried about Xiaoshu.

The man who came to kowtow at the hexagram stand today, since he was able to slander him with other people's money and husband and wife, it can be seen that he is not a good person, so what can make his wife feel restless, skinny and almost have a miscarriage?What could make him so frightened that he took out all his belongings to solve the disaster?

Naturally, it was a bloody and terrifying thing.

The man tremblingly mentioned Lai Er, the man who stole his own pig and sold it for gambling...

What happened to Raiji?

Of course he was dead, probably bleeding to death from the seven orifices.

"You dare to accept this kind of money. Believe it or not, you will bleed to death from your seven orifices when you go back?"

Only when this sentence came true, could the couple be frightened into such a state.

But that sentence was not said by him, Lin Ruo, he knew how powerful he was, even if he used the matter of ghosts and gods to bluff people, he also relied on "swearing" that he would never compare himself with ghosts and gods.

The person who said this was Xiaoshu, that's why he told Xiaoshu that he had a catastrophe, but even he himself didn't expect that this catastrophe would come so quickly.

He knew it was wrong as soon as the little book was spoken that day, but it was too late for him to restore the situation at that time, and this kind of thing, he mentioned it again but deepened the impression of others, it is best for people to forget it after hearing it—a pity The sky is not as good as people wish, but some people take it and make a big fuss.

The official said "Witch Gu kills people" confirmed his guess even more.

It might take a few more days for him to go out from here, but he only hopes that Xiaoshu will not be stupid, never be stupid...

-

Lin Ruo knew that he was going to suffer some hardships, but he didn't expect that the hardships would come so quickly, the moment he walked into the room, it had already started.

Hot, hot like a steamer.

As soon as the cell door was opened, there was a gust of hot air blowing towards his face. Wei Ting was suffocated for a moment, and then reluctantly sucked in the first breath of air, and walked into the cell door.

His body felt like he had been put into a furnace, but his heart felt a little chilly. He knew that the two masters wanted to give this talented man a little bit of trouble, so that he would be more obedient and interesting in the future, but now it seems that the pain is too great.

"What do you belong to?" A clear voice sounded, as cold as a flowing spring, which made him feel a trace of clear coolness in the scorching heat.

Only then did Wei Ting see Lin Ruo, the legendary number one talented scholar in Chang'an, just like the rumors, handsome and flawless, with a fairy-like demeanor.

The young man seemed unaware of the intense heat around him. He sat in a casual posture, with his elbows on the table, his plain white fingers running through his jet-black hair, and he was resting on his temples as if he had a headache. Looking at the few copper plates scattered on the table, there was an open ancient scroll by his hand.

After a long while without hearing a response, the young man raised his head, looked over with a pair of clear and dark eyes, and asked, "What do you belong to?"

Wei Ting smiled wryly, and suddenly felt that the originally simple and deadly errand had become tricky.

"My servant, Wei Ting, a subject of the East Palace, His Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to come and see you..." Seeing the young man's eyes still looking at him quietly, Wei Ting sighed helplessly, and said, "You belong to the tiger."

"Oh." Lin Ruo bowed her head, continued to study the copper plates, and even took another pair of copper plates from the side that looked much older, and made a new hexagram.

Is this stupid or stupid?Wei Ting was speechless. In terms of official position, he is still above Lin Boyuan. In terms of status, he and the prince have been friends since they were young. Does this kid have any self-consciousness?

Sighing lightly, she sat down opposite him and said, "Your Majesty personally ordered your case, and strictly prohibited anyone from visiting you. His Highness tried his best to let me come in to see you. Time is limited..."

As he spoke, he opened the food box, laid out all the food and wine inside, and said, "Master Lin prepared these things for you. I heard that they are your favorite food. He is worried about you entering Dali Temple." Very soon, I begged His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince has already entered the palace to beg His Majesty, but His Majesty is currently in a rage, so going there may not be useful."

This place is strangely hot. After he finished speaking a long paragraph, he felt a little out of breath. He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat dripping from his chin, and then looked at Lin Ruo, who was as if nothing had happened. , this kind of ghost place, not even a drop of sweat.

Lin Ruo hummed, poured himself a bowl of wine, and asked, "Do you want to drink?"

Wei Ting choked, and sighed again: "Do you really know what happened?"

Lin Ruo finished a bowl of wine in one gulp, and then said, "Didn't you say that I am a witch who kills people?"

Wei Ting said: "The case of witchcraft murder is just a reason, do you understand? Don't say that you are the son of an official, or even an ordinary citizen. There is no reason to arrest people just because of one sentence, let alone this The person talking is not you, but your little book boy..."

Lin Ruo was slightly taken aback, and said, "Not for this matter, why?"

Wei Ting looked into his eyes and said, "You really don't know?"

"what do you know?"

Wei Ting said: "You don't know, who is the old man who often goes out with you for the past half month?"

Lin Ruojing looked at him quietly.

Wei Ting sighed: "It's Your Majesty..."

Lin Ruo lowered his eyes, paused for a moment with the hand holding the jug, his expression was indifferent, and Wei Ting said: "You were drinking with His Highness King Qin, and someone stabbed him in front of His Majesty, saying that you already knew His Majesty's Identity, colluding with King Qin, planning to deceive His Majesty... Sigh, you..."

He sighed, and said: "Master Lin has always been loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince, of course His Highness is willing to trust you, but you should also... Do you really not know about King Qin and His Highness the Crown Prince, or do you not know? That is to say, the prince is magnanimous, and he cherishes talents the most, and he is willing to run for you, if it were someone else, he would not care about your life."

Lin Ruo said "hmm" and started to eat.

"Although your majesty cherishes and loves talents, he also hates being deceived the most. His highness the crown prince said, he will try to save your life first. Let you be patient for a few days. When your majesty calms down, he will speak slowly to see if he can let you go." come out……"

"I was able to come in this time. The prince has already taken responsibility. I may not be able to find another chance next time. But His Royal Highness has already explained that they will never dare to humiliate you..."

"..."

Seeing the prison door being closed, Lin Ruo put his hand on his forehead.

Wei Ting's arrival was expected, because someone had to let him know how witchcraft was tabooed by the royal family, how difficult his case was, and how the crown prince did his best for him—after all, he "didn't know" There is a huge backer behind him.

But he expected that someone would come from the Prince's Mansion, but he didn't expect the truth of the matter.

He thought that this accident was because he and Li Shimin were too close, and Lin Boyuan's transfer away from the East Palace made the prince feel a sense of crisis, so he used the witchcraft to kill him to make him suffer, and then rescued him with kindness. Let him be grateful to Dade.

But now it seems that some people simply don't want to watch them play back and forth slowly, and want to make trouble.

This is, wanting his life!

Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo, you are really unpopular.

Lin Ruo didn't bother to think about it anymore, lay down on the bed, put the demon book under the pillow, and closed her eyes: Although the wine is not enough, but the food is full, it's time to sleep.

-

In the East Palace, Li Jiancheng was furious: "Li Yuanji, what the hell are you doing!"

Li Yuanji said lazily: "Brother, don't you know what I do?"

Li Jiancheng laughed back angrily, and said, "Tell me that you want to teach Lin Ruo a small lesson so that he will be obedient and work hard for us in the future, but what happened? You wanted his life!"

Li Yuanji said casually: "Brother, don't worry, father is the most soft-hearted, as long as you say a few more good words, and then let that talented Lin beg and cry, father will definitely not want to kill him. In this world, How many people are there who are as good-looking and talented as Lin Ruo? If the emperor wants to kill him, why don't you regret it?"

"Look at Mr. Pei Ji Pei, isn't it because of his good looks, personable manners and talent that his father dotes on him so much? When the court meeting, just let him sit next to you, Supervisor Pei kept saying that Liu Wenjing had done more than him, but he had a conflict with Liu Wenjing, and my father chopped off Liu Wenjing's head without saying a word."

"Also, when Liu Wuzhou called back, Pei Ji led the troops to fight, he ran so fast, he left the troops and fled [-] miles away in one night, even lost the land of Longxing in my Tang Dynasty... ...Father wanted his second elder brother to help him fight back, but he was afraid that his second elder brother would force him to hold Pei Ji accountable. In order to save Pei Ji's life, he had to write an imperial decree: "The bandits are so powerful that it is difficult to fight for the front, so we should abandon the land east of the river." , Just sent one to the second brother, forcing the second brother to ask to fight. He also pretended to lock Pei Ji for a few days, but the second brother went out, and he let him go. How to reuse it... ..."

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "What is the difference between Lin Ruo and Pei Ji? No matter what Pei Ji is, his loyalty to the emperor is unquestionable, and the emperor favors him so much. But what about Lin Ruo? After being so slandered by you, the emperor's future will never be questioned." I'm afraid no matter how hard it is to trust him, what's the use of saving his life?"

This kind of slander by Li Yuanji is completely unsolvable. Don't say that Li Yuanji has a noble status. Who dares to say that he is lying about something he insists on?And even if it proves that Li Yuanji lied, it's useless. The seeds of doubt have already been planted in Li Yuan's heart, and they will take root day by day and thrive: Li Yuanji lied, yes, but Lin Boyuan, Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng ... With so many people around Lin Ruo knowing his identity, is it true that no one has reminded him?If Lin Ruo really didn't know his identity, or did he deliberately deceive and play?

This kind of thought will stick in Li Yuan's heart like an invisible thorn, popping up from time to time, no matter how difficult it is to get rid of...

There is no way to explain such things as "knowing or not knowing"...

Li Jiancheng rubbed his forehead: Lin Ruo, in this life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get ahead...

"Brother, you are wrong." Li Yuanji smiled slightly, and said lazily, "How could it be useless? Isn't it Lin Ruo's greatest use to make the father completely tired of the second brother?"

Li Jiancheng was taken aback.

Li Yuanji chuckled, and continued: "As long as it is confirmed that the second elder brother sent Lin Ruo to deceive the father, the father will completely hate him—how much he admired Lin Ruo before, how much he will hate him now Second Brother, Big Brother, isn’t that enough?”

Seeing Li Jiancheng's eyes flickering, Li Yuanji knew that he was finally persuaded, and said: "Brother, you might as well think about it, do you lack someone who can speak for you by your father's side? If Lin Ruo can do it, Master Pei and Concubine Yin De , Zhang Jieyu, who can't do it? But the opportunity to make my father completely hate my second brother, but just this once..."

Li Jiancheng was silent.

"So now, the most important thing is how to get Lin Ruo to speak up, so that I can get to the bottom of the matter...Brother, Dali Siqing, is it yours?"

-

After leaving the East Palace, it was already the moon rising on the West Mountain. Li Yuanji looked at the moths under the shadow of the roadside lights and sneered.

Immortal?Ha, banishment!

So what if you are talented, and what if you are as graceful as a fairy?In front of him, it's just this little moth, he just needs to stretch out two fingers and pinch lightly... Poof!

In front of Li Yuan, he sued Li Shimin knowing that Li Jiancheng wanted to recruit Lin Ruo into the palace to play the piano, and let him leave Beijing. As a result, when Lin Ruo returned to Beijing, Li Jiancheng's reputation was restored with a sentence of "pure rumor", which proved Li Shimin's innocence. He, Li Yuanji, became the laughing stock of the government and the public. He still remembers this hatred clearly!

Seeing his subordinates guarding the roadside, Li Yuanji paused and asked, "Has Mr. Pei entered the palace to answer? Did he ask anything?"

The subordinate replied respectfully: "Lord Pei didn't go to see Lin Ruo, but just listened to his and Wei Ting's answer next door, and then went into the palace."

Li Yuanji sneered, thinking he knew what Pei Ji would say when he entered the palace—his naive father, he only knew how to send the most trustworthy and loyal people to investigate this matter, but he forgot, such things as jealousy , Not only women have it, men also have it.What is the basis for Pei Ji to climb to the current high position?How could he be willing to be replaced by Lin Ruo?In this world, the person who most wants Lin Ruo to disappear is Pei Ji!

He said lightly: "You just wait outside the palace, and when Mr. Pei comes out, tell him that the matter is over...let him not forget to buy me a drink."

"Yes."

"Also, send someone into the palace to tell the two empresses that Yuan Ji lived up to his trust."

"Yes."

The corner of Li Yuanji's lips curled up into a smile, and he walked towards his own palace with his hands under his hands.

This time, the deal was really a bargain.

After all, Lin Ruo is considered to be half of the prince's mansion. If he admits to this matter, Li Shimin will naturally be involved, and the prince will never be able to clean up...

Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo, such a good chess piece, I am reluctant to destroy it, but it is possible for you to help anyone, but it is impossible to help Li Yuanji?

Pei Ji, Concubine Yin De, Zhang Jieyu... time after time, slowly, they would eventually become Li Yuanji's bargaining chips.
