Master Lin of the Red Chamber

"Master Lin, this is Mr. Ling, right?"

Although Wang Yin had noticed it from above when Lin Qing first came in, but his current position is different from that of Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai can talk to his son unscrupulously at the bottom.

If he left the scene of being interrogated and ran to talk to Lin Ruhai and his son, it would have attracted too much attention. Fortunately, Jia Liang had almost finished interrogating before Lin Qing came over.

Now after asking the master to sign the written confession to Jia Liang, Wang Yin quickly announced his withdrawal from the hall. After watching the guards escort Jia Liang back, he just got up and walked to the Lin family. In front of the two father and son.

Lin Qing, who was still hesitating at first, didn't know what to say, saw the officials in charge of the interrogation come down, and immediately stopped being entangled. After all, no matter what he thought, with outsiders around, those words could not be taken lightly. speak out.

"Master Zhifu!"

He clasped his hands and saluted. Lin Qing didn't use Lin Ruhai to remind him, so he stood up spontaneously. Although he was a bandit in essence, he had learned etiquette at home for so many years, and his etiquette was still very good.

After all, you are a person who is interested in scientific research, and you must be extra serious about this aspect. There are not too many red tapes in ancient times. Moreover, once you are a little rude, it may affect your future. .

"Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy! I have heard for a long time that Mr. Lin's family has a long history, and Mr. Ling is indeed a good-looking talent..."

Quickly reaching out to help Lin Qing up, Wang Yin carefully sized up the well-behaved young man, and couldn't help but sincerely praised that such a demeanor is rare even in the capital.

No wonder this Lin Ruhai went back to the clan, but he didn't choose those children who were still young and could be married, but chose this Lin Qing, he really had a good eye.

"Your Majesty Wang is too polite, Qing'er is still too young to be praised by you!"

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Wang Yin was so polite, Lin Ruhai naturally had to know how to be modest, but since his relationship with his son was not close enough, he couldn't belittle his son like those fathers in this era. One sentence was skipped.

"Your Majesty Lin, you're being polite! I heard that Your Excellency will go to the capital to take up a post soon. I don't know when he will leave. I'd like to set up a banquet to see Master Lin off!"

Seeing Lin Ruhai's obvious reluctance to get entangled in this topic, Wang Yin naturally changed the subject very quickly. As for the central minister who is about to take office, he, a feudal official, still wants to make friends with him.

What's more, the master behind him also really wants to get the help of Master Lin, and now he has done something to help him and has a little face, if he doesn't hurry up, it will be too late when Lin Ruhai leaves.

Although he felt that with Lin Ruhai's personality, he would not agree to the master's solicitation, but it's a matter of human effort, how will you know if you don't try, anyway, he just needs to try his best.

Even if the matter cannot be done, the master will not blame him. After all, although his status is not as high as that of Lin Ruhai after he went to the capital, as a big official of the frontier, he is also a pillar that cannot be ignored.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your kindness, but because of the Jia family's incident, Lin will have to leave for the capital tomorrow. I'm afraid he will disappoint Mr. Wang's intentions..."

Apologetically, Lin Ruhai bowed his hands and bowed. Without any hesitation, Lin Ruhai politely rejected the other party. The reason was even more upright and impeccable. I'm leaving tomorrow, so how can I have time to have dinner with you.

In fact, if this Wang Yin is only representing himself, then Lin Ruhai is very willing to eat this meal. After all, the other party has helped him a lot in this matter, and in the officialdom, he can expand Networking is also good for him.

However, as far as Lin Ruhai knew, behind this Wang Yin was the third prince. A few years ago, the magistrate of Yangzhou retired and returned home. This Wang Yin was able to obtain this position smoothly and became the magistrate of Yangzhou. Behind, but a lot of effort.

This time the other party invited him to a banquet, he didn't need to think about why he knew why. As a pure royalist, Lin Ruhai didn't want to just get out of the trap of the sixth prince and then fall into it again in the blink of an eye.

Of course, this was only a superficial reason, a high-sounding statement, but the real reason was because Lin Ruhai felt that the two princes were unreliable and had no hope of success.

He has been with the emperor for so many years, and as the other party's confidant, he is very clear about the emperor's character, which is both ruthless and ruthless. Now these princes, the more happy they are, the less hope they have.

On the contrary, it is the kind of serious work that will always be ridiculed by other princes, but there is a slight possibility, for example, that Si Si who has both credits and hard work, but has never received any rewards. Prince.

"It's my negligence. I forgot that Mr. Lin, you have to go to the capital as soon as possible. If this is the case, then wait until the next time I go to Beijing to pay homage to the Holy Majesty, and then have a good time with Mr. Lin!"

Wang Yin is not a fool. Although Lin Ruhai spoke very well, he could still hear the potential rejection of the other party, but this was expected, and he didn't feel disappointed.

Instead, he politely returned a salute and said a few words on the scene before getting up to leave. After all, Lin Ruhai has already said that he will leave tomorrow, so he must be busy with a lot of things today, so he can't go Waste people's time.

What's more, in order to interrogate Jia Liang, he didn't have time to eat at noon, and his stomach had already started singing empty plans. Since Lin Ruhai didn't intend to have an in-depth relationship with him, he naturally still had to fill himself up. The five internal organs temple is more important.

"Father, judging by the appearance of this magistrate, it seems that he is not very familiar with you?"

Seeing Wang Yin's figure disappearing into the lobby, Lin Qing couldn't help but asked with some doubts, how did he feel that the relationship between this cheap father and the magistrate Wang Yin was so unfamiliar when he was an official in the same place.

Ordinary people might think that Wang Yin might have just arrived this year, but Lin Qing knew very well that this magistrate, who was particularly unpleasant to Qi Yunshan, had been in office for many years.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make them Qi Yunshan hate so much, they have to invest a large amount of money every year, and in the intelligence network of Yangzhou, the money of the bandits is not blown by the wind.

"We'll talk about this matter when we get back. Call Miss Lin Yu first, we should leave!"

Shaking his head, indicating to his son that this is not the place to talk, Lin Ruhai pointed to the back hall, and asked his son to bring out his precious sister. Now that the interrogation is over, it is time for them to return home.

"Then Jia Liang?"

Although he knew that according to the rules, Jia Liang would be locked up in the government office and sent to the capital by the magistrate, but Qin Zixuan couldn't help but asked, if possible, he really wanted to interrogate Jia Liang in private.

After all, once Jia Liang was taken away from Yangzhou, on the way to the capital, even if Qi Yunshan had a chance to strike, he would not be able to strike. Countless pairs of eyes would be staring there.

If he wanted to know the hidden story of this matter, now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. At his age, if he wanted to go in and meet Jia Liang and ask some questions in private, it would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

However, he didn't know how to say this to Lin Ruhai. After all, in the heart of the other party, he was just a smart young man, so he probably couldn't think of so many things.

"Don't worry, Jia Liang will not end well. After this matter is over, he will bear the consequences of doing something wrong!"

Seeing that his son looked a little embarrassed, Lin Ruhai thought that his son was unwilling to get retribution for the enemy who wanted to harm him, but he was too embarrassed to talk to him, so he couldn't help but patted his son's head and said soothingly.

But he couldn't help but think of his daughter who was far away in the capital city. This son who grew up not by his side had an indelible sense of distance with him. Could it be the same with his daughter?

It has been five years since Yu'er was sent to the capital by him. In the past five years, although he could not be said to be completely indifferent, he has never visited his daughter, and he does not know whether her daughter will would hate him.

He still remembered that when his daughter hugged him, her face was blurred from crying, she just didn't want to leave his side to go so far away, but in the end, she forced her to be sent on the boat to the capital.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai's heart couldn't help trembling, he was suddenly a little scared, he really couldn't imagine what kind of scene it would be for the little daughter who was held in his arms and acted like a baby in the past, who was as indifferent and alienated as his son .

"Father?"

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around Lin Ruhai and feeling a little depressed, Lin Qing couldn't help but raised his head in doubt. He didn't seem to have said anything just now. Why did the cheap father's mood change so quickly.

Little did he know that this cheap father was associated with his daughter who was far away in the capital because of his attitude. Lin Qing saw the cheap father's complexion getting more and more serious, so he couldn't help calling out.

Now it is still in the lobby of the government office, and people are watching people coming and going. If cheap father loses his temper here, at that moment, the gossip may even spread throughout Yangzhou City.

Although Lin Qing has never acknowledged Lin Ruhai as his father, but since this cheap father treats his sister well, he should also remind him that this can be regarded as a back and forth.

"It's okay! You go in and call your sister out..."

Being brought back to his senses by his son, Lin Ruhai put aside his somewhat heavy heart, and couldn't help but patted his son's head again, feeling the fluffy touch, and instantly felt much better.

Although he was not a good father in the past, no matter whether it is a son or a daughter, they are still young now, and it will take a long time in the future. As long as he sincerely wants to make up, there are still opportunities.

"..."

Feeling the weight on his head, Lin Qing was really helpless, this one or two, how come they like to touch his head so much, so does my sister, and now this Lin Ruhai does too, so I'm not afraid to touch him bald.

For the sake of her hairline and the possible beauty in the future, Lin Qing broke free from Lin Ruhai's palm very quickly, and walked towards the back hall that the other party pointed to just now.

It was a little far away just now, and the position here was blocked by something again. Lin Qing didn't see it clearly. After a while, he found that there was a curtain here, and behind it was a small cubicle, which seemed to be It is specially used to arrange for those who are not convenient to come out.

Lin Qing, who did not expect such a structure to exist in the yamen, couldn't help feeling his ignorance, but soon, he felt that something was wrong. Although his footsteps were light, they had already reached this distance. It is impossible for people not to hear it.

Especially my sister, because she wants a woman to take care of the child, she is very vigilant. When she sleeps in the middle of the night, as long as there is a slight movement, she will be woken up, not to mention the continuous sound of footsteps now.

Unconsciously clenching his hands into fists, Lin Qing took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then quietly walked to the curtained door as quietly as possible.

He took out the dagger stuck in his waist, and opened a bag of lime powder in his hand. After making sufficient preparations, Lin Qing suddenly opened the curtain, and quickly scanned the inside compartment.

Seeing that there was no one inside, neither the gangster he imagined nor his sister, Lin Qing couldn't help feeling a little impatient. He strode in and scanned the whole room carefully, but there was no one except the table. Passive tea, nothing at all.

With a buzzing sound in his head, Lin Qing shook his body twice and almost fell to the ground. He propped himself on the table and breathed heavily for air.

Rubbing his temples, Lin Qing tried his best to calm down, trying to keep himself rational and sober. Now that his sister suddenly disappeared, I don't know what happened. If he collapsed all of a sudden, who can my sister refer to?

Closing his eyes, he shook his head violently. Lin Qing took the dagger in his hand and began to knock on the walls of this compartment. The inside is completely closed, and there are no windows. If someone wants to stealthily He sneaked in without a sound and kidnapped his sister, so there must be a passage inside.

But all four walls were knocked over and over, but nothing wrong was found. Lin Qing couldn't help but slapped the table irritably, his nails sank into the flesh, and he didn't notice it at all.

Putting his hands in his hair, Lin Qing tried his best to recall the scene he saw when he just opened the curtain, trying to find a trace of inspiration.

Countless images flashed through Lin Qing's mind. Lin Qing's brain was running at the speed of light, but there was still no clue. It was not until after thinking about it three times that his eyes suddenly fixed on an inconspicuous white silk thread.

Opening his eyes instantly with a swipe, Lin Qing put down the dagger and medicine bag in his hand, and began to lie down on the ground hard, looking for the white silk thread in his memory just now. His intuition told him that this silk thread was definitely related to his sister being kidnapped.
