[Red Chamber] Madam's wishes come true

Lin Kou didn't react at all at first.

Until the Lin family had packed their luggage and was about to leave for the capital in two days, Feng Fen came to say goodbye, but she stayed behind forcefully and said that he would take them to the capital, and Fen Fen said something to wake her up.

"You know, because my deed of sale is in the hands of the master, and I was sold because of the flood in my hometown, which caused me to be separated from my family. I still want to stay in Weiyang to find my relatives."

"But how old were you when you were sold? You even forgot the names of your relatives, and even the name of your hometown?"

"No, I have a good memory. Although I forgot the name of my hometown, I can remember my parents' appearance and names, and even the annual harvest at home."

Lin Kou immediately wanted to understand where the ledger was hidden that had never been found.

in someone's head.

And it is very likely that it is hidden in the mind of the limped concierge that Lin Liushi mentioned unintentionally.

She said that so many people couldn't find the account book, and a woman who lived in the back house all year round wanted to find it. Probably only consumes so little energy.

When Lin Kou made a wish, he had the idea that it was absolutely impossible to make the wish successful.

Now everything is clear.

Because no one hid the ledger at all, not only did it not hide it, it was even placed in front of everyone, not to mention officials like Lin Ruhai who often entered the magistrate's mansion, even ordinary people had the opportunity to see the true face of the ledger.

After Lin Kou sent Fen Fen away, he immediately wanted to find Lin Ruhai.

But Lin Ruhai went out to visit friends early this morning, and now he is not at home at all, so Lin Kou could only go back home and wait for Lin Ruhai to come back.

It wasn't until Lin Ruhai came back at night that Lin Kou finally uttered his guess.

At this time, it was late at night, and the curfew was about to come, and most people had rested.

In addition, Lin Kou couldn't produce any evidence, which made Lin Ruhai doubtful about her guess, so he decided to arrest her tomorrow morning.

But the next day when Lin Ruhai led people to arrest the porter, he found that the entire Weiyang City had been turned upside down, and the prefect's servants were coming in and out, making a lot of noise.

When someone saw Lin Ruhai bringing people over, they rushed forward and surrounded them without waiting for him to distinguish.

At the same time, someone went to inform the magistrate.

The magistrate came quickly, and when he saw the people behind Lin Ruhai, his eyes became extremely dangerous: "Master Yushi, what are you bringing so many people here for? Do you want to arrest them?"

Lin Ruhai already realized that the situation was not good, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly found a reason: "It's not that someone suddenly put a note on my desk last night, saying that the concierge of the magistrate's house might know about some corruption. The list of officials and the specific amount, I thought I would rather kill the wrong than let it go, so I brought people here."

The magistrate's complexion changed drastically, and the eyes he looked at Lin Ruhai seemed to be poisoned.

Lin Ruhai explained with a smile: "But I didn't see the evidence, so I'm not sure? Thinking maybe it was a misunderstanding, so I didn't dispatch the officers and soldiers, but brought my servants to arrest people."

The magistrate paused and looked behind Lin Ruhai.

Although the people behind him were strong and straight, they really didn't have the fierce aura of the soldiers, so they believed Lin Ruhai's words.

Lin Ruhai glanced at the noisy magistrate's house, and was a little curious: "What's wrong with your mansion? It seems a bit busy. I don't want to waste the magistrate's time. Why don't the magistrate hand over the concierge to me and leave immediately?"

The magistrate was angry and resentful: "The mansion is in such a hurry, it is precisely because when I went out in the morning, I found that the concierge was missing."

Lin Ruhai's eyes flashed, and he took the initiative to say: "I don't know the name of the concierge of your house? Where does he live? Do you have other relatives and friends? If the magistrate doesn't dislike it, you can call the many servants at will...

"That's not going to bother Mr. Yushi." The magistrate twitched his mouth, "The concierge was abandoned by his parents because of his lameness, and because of his lameness, no one wanted to marry, so he has no relatives. As for his friend, he lived in the house all his life. In the prefect’s mansion, most of my friends are servants of the mansion, and I prefer to investigate by myself. Besides, Lord Lin will leave Weiyang by boat in two days, so these few days must be extremely busy, so I won’t bother Lord Lin.”

After finishing speaking, he retreated to the door and asked someone to close the door directly.

Lin Ruhai's expression darkened instantly: "That concierge is indeed the so-called ledger."

Last night when Lin Kou came to him to explain his guess, he still didn't quite believe it, but just now he saw with his own eyes that the magistrate's house became chaotic just because of the disappearance of a concierge. It becomes 100% trust.

If I had known, when he first got the news last night, even if he violated the curfew, he would arrest him.

Lin Ruhai sighed and returned home.

Jia Min was finishing the work, and when Lin Ruhai entered the door, he sighed, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? It was fine before, but why did you look downcast when you came back?"

Lin Ruhai told her about it, and then sighed: "I don't know if the concierge really disappeared, or if our Lin family leaked the news, causing that group of people to hide him and show us."

"Hey, I should have gone straight to arresting people when I got the news yesterday!"

In just one stick of incense, Lin Ruhai repeated this sentence more than three times.

Jia Min was helpless and funny when he heard it, so he had to persuade him: "If you want me to say, it's good that you didn't catch the talent. That is to say, I don't know what you took the man to do so early in the morning. If not, I will scold you like a dog." Bloody head. Don’t even think about it, you don’t pretend at all, you just blatantly lead people to arrest the concierge, once you are caught, can the magistrate let us leave Weiyang safely?”

"Not just the magistrate, I'm afraid that officials and salt merchants in the entire Weiyang City will rush up and eat everyone in our Lin family."

Lin Ruhai paused: "Didn't I not fully believe it at first, and wanted to test the prefect's attitude?"

But after chatting with Jia Min, I feel much better.

Jia Min said again: "Whether it's successful or not, what Kao Yatou told you is true news, shouldn't you tell Kao Yatou the result? Who knows, we're still waiting for your results."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and asked someone to invite Lin Kou to the study.

After Lin Kou heard the results, she couldn't help frowning: "Daughter still got inspiration from the words of Mrs. Qian Si, and thought that there are indeed some strange people in this world who have a particularly good memory and can be called a photographic memory, so I made some guesses. But the daughter has no evidence, nor has she told anyone other than her father."

Lin Ruhai paused, and immediately understood what Lin Kou meant.

Since this matter was entirely Lin Kou's private speculation, and she had neither evidence nor told anyone other than Lin Ruhai, how did this news leak out?

It can't be that just as Lin Kou made a guess, someone found the evidence that the concierge is the account book, right?

If the evidence is so easy to investigate, how could it be possible for so many imperial envoys and spies who came to investigate to return without success, and even Weiyang was killed?

Lin Ruhai must have leaked the news here.

But after Lin Ruhai thought about it seriously, he couldn't find a clue at all: "After I got the news from you, I didn't tell the second person. My wife doesn't even know about it."

If he has something to say, Jia Min must be the first to tell.

But Jia Min didn't know about it.

That is to say, the news that the concierge is a living account book definitely did not come from him.

Lin Kou added: "It's an unconfirmed guess, I can't talk nonsense."

The two looked at each other, and said in unison——

"study!"

If the two of them were right, then the news could only have leaked out in the study room as soon as the news came out.

It was precisely because the other party knew the news that the porter was a live account last night, it was possible to kidnap the porter before Lin Ruhai, creating the illusion that the porter was missing!

Lin Ruhai took someone to the magistrate's house just after dawn!

Lin Kou rolled his eyes and got the answer: "Blood drop!"

Lin Ruhai turned pale with shock: "Where did you know about Blooddrop?"

Lin Kou silently took out a token from his pocket: "It suddenly appeared on my dressing table a few days ago, and a letter appeared at the same time. The other party asked me to investigate the whereabouts of the ledger. In exchange, they can help me investigate life experience."

Lin Ruhai: "... Xuedizi is so kind?"

Lin Kou blinked: "Probably because they have already looked for other people, but failed to meet their requirements, so they feel that I am the only choice?"

Lin Ruhai was stunned: "Who?"

"Aunt Mei."

"Mei Ying?"

Lin Kou nodded: "Actually, I don't think it's Aunt Mei who revealed the news." She told how Aunt Mei found her directly with the letter and token, "She doesn't want anything to happen to the Lin family before they leave Weiyang. Moreover, Aunt Mei is an ordinary person, and she is also from the Lin family, people around you will definitely recognize her immediately, there is no way for her to approach your study quietly."

There should be a third, or even a fourth blood droplet in the mansion, at least the one who got the token.

Lin Ruhai received the message she wanted to convey from Lin Kou's eyes.

but……

His expression was slightly strange: "You know that the identity of every blood droplet needs to be kept strictly confidential, even parents, wives and children can't tell it?"

Lin Kou paused: "I don't know, he didn't say anything."

Lin Ruhai: "..."

He can't care about the account book or not, anyway, the person has disappeared, and looking for someone without any effective information is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

What's more, the person who took the concierge away may be a blood drop directly sent by the emperor!

Lin Ruhai hurriedly said: "I don't know how the person who gave you the token will react when he finds out about this matter. Be sure to message me when you are eating these days, and absolutely don't place orders!"

After finishing speaking, he quickly ordered someone to call Mei Ying.

"But don't let something happen at the last minute!"
