The Lin Family of Gusu in the Red Mansion

"Daddy, the assassin has already confessed." Lin Ke stood in front of the desk and reported the events of the past two days to Lin Qingze, "He is just a member of the assassin organization, and it is said that the mission sent by the higher authorities wants him to wait for the opportunity to get rid of him on his birthday. There are several families, and our Lin family is impressively listed. He saw that his sister and Madam Xu were both weak women and walked through the woods alone. There is no news at all, so it seems like it didn’t work.”

Lin Qingze knocked on the table, frowning: "Can you be sure if this group of people are the subordinates of King Zhongshun?"

Lin Ke was taken aback for a moment, but he forgot: "I haven't had time to investigate yet."

"Ke'er, you don't need to intervene in the next matter. I will figure it out as a father, and I will definitely not let your sister get hurt in vain." Lin Qingze's always calm and wise eyes flashed a trace of bloodthirsty, "If you don't do anything again, those people should I don't know what my last name is."

Lin Ke became anxious when he heard this, and hurried forward a few steps: "But Daddy, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qingze interrupted him.

Walking up to Lin Ke, rubbed his head and said, "I know that your childhood experience made you grow up early, understand the warmth and coldness of the world, and also know that everything you have come into contact with in the Dark Night Pavilion in the past few months has made you mentally like an adult. Average. But a child is a child, and as a father, I still hope that you can live like an ordinary child."

Lin Ke didn't say anything this time, but he just agreed. To a certain extent, he still didn't dare to disobey Lin Qingze.

Seeing Lin Ke's disappearing figure, Lin Qingze sighed slightly, and seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

There is a pair of sons and daughters in the family. The daughter has already managed the housework when the girl from other people's family is still snuggling in her mother's arms and acting like a baby, and she has to take care of his body at the same time; Back then, he had tasted the warmth and coldness of the world early, and now he was exposed to the dark and private things of the Dark Night Pavilion every day. In the end, it was because of his incompetence as a father.

"Lin Duo, come in." Lin Qingze called out to Lin Duo who was outside, then walked back to the main seat and wrote something hastily.

After Lin Duo came in, he didn't bother, and waited quietly until Lin Qingze stopped writing.

After taking the things, Lin Duo glanced roughly: "What about that Jia Yuanchun?"

"Just follow the above." Lin Qingze glanced at Lin Duo, stroked his beard, and a smile appeared that made Lin Duo want to run away after seeing it, "As for that Jia Yuanchun, I'll call him later. Others do it, my daughter escaped death, it doesn't make sense for her to be indifferent, isn't it?"

"Yes, the slave will go now." Lin Duo withdrew, but he had already begun to mourn in silence for those who hurt the girl.

"Lin Feng, go and call Liu Nanny next to the girl to come to me, I have something to ask her to do."

Not long after, Nanny Liu appeared in the study.

Grandma Liu is a genius who came out of the palace. She didn't know that Lin Qingze probably came to her because of Lin Su's injury, but she didn't know exactly what it was.

Lin Qingze felt comforted when she saw Liumama's generous and decent appearance in front of him, at least she found a decent nanny for her daughter.

"Grandma Liu, do you know what is the purpose of my visit to you this time?"

As soon as Grandma Liu heard this, she knew that this time it would definitely not be easy. The master was so kind before, but now he could even shake his voice with icicles.

"If you have something to do, just ask the master, and the servant can do anything for the girl."

The attitude of being neither humble nor overbearing, and the words of loyalty, made Lin Qingze feel better, and said slowly: "I have one thing for you to do. You remember that you are the emperor's nanny, and later served the queen mother. Now You are also of high grade, today I want you to go into the palace to do something."

Grandma Liu listened to the words carefully, and finally left the study with an old face, the others couldn't see anything from her face.

Within a few days, rumors spread throughout the entire imperial city, saying that King Zhongshun entertained a foreign race graciously, and that foreign race definitely did not look simple.This news came from Huajie. It is said that the reason why it was spread was that the beautiful girls on Huajie still remembered the unusually powerful male ability of the foreign race, so they took it as a joke and told themselves Later benefactors listened.Where is Flower Street?From ordinary people to wealthy businessmen to scholar-bureaucrats, there is no shortage of any class, and the news spread quickly.

So all kinds of conspiracy theories have played, and of course there are some lace news.

Everyone in the family of officials knew that Prince Zhongshun and the emperor were at odds with each other in court, and now that Prince Zhongshun met with a foreigner, it was really Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it.This behavior caused many old pedants who were once neutral to rely on the emperor.Originally, people were unwilling to meddle, but no matter how much they fought, in the end the world would still not have the surname Yue.But if you collude with foreigners, you have violated those taboos of Qingliu. We don’t care how your royal family fights, but you must not bring the world of the Central Plains to foreigners.

Furthermore, there was a thunderstorm the night before yesterday, and the main house of Lord Zhongshun's house was struck by lightning, and a corner of the house collapsed directly. At any rate, Lord Zhongshun did not rest in that house that day.Folk rumors spread all over the place, saying that Prince Zhongshun colluded with foreigners and made the ancestors of the Yue family furious. This is a warning!

The emperor was furious when he heard about it, and said to such a ghost that he would rather believe it than believe it.So Prince Zhongshun was fined with a salary of one year, and at the same time went to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb for a year to reflect. During this year, the right to manage the army was temporarily handed over to Prince Rui.

However, the affairs of the court are not over, and the family affairs are catching up again.

Yesterday a large number of assassins broke into Zhongshun Palace to assassinate Prince Zhongshun, saying that they wanted to eliminate harm for the people. Of course, they failed in the end. The defense of Zhongshun Palace almost caught up with the palace.However, it did scare Prince Zhongshun's three-year-old grandson. It is said that he is still a little stupid.

Princess Zhongshun became furious when she heard this. Everyone in the capital knew that there was a tigress in Prince Zhongshun’s mansion. When she was a girl, Princess Zhongshun was a boudoir legend. ability.After marrying into Prince Zhongshun's mansion, not to mention being a concubine, even the housekeeper may have one for Prince Zhongshun, but fortunately, she is in good health and can bear children, so others can't say anything.It's all right now, King Zhongshun not only went shopping in Huajie, but also indirectly caused her grandson to become stupid, so she showed her power, and no one in the whole Palace of Zhongshun from the master to the servants had a good time.This Prince Zhongshun was hit by so many things at once, and he simply fell ill.

"Tell me, what's the matter with those assassins?" Prince Zhongshun asked as he struggled to lean on the bed, his old face that had been well maintained was sallow and sallow, "And didn't I tell you to kill those assassins after the prince left?" Did the girl deal with it, why is there still such a thing?"

He spoke a few words weakly, and he was out of breath after a while.

The servant standing next to him replied tremblingly: "My lord, we did have those girls dealt with, but I just don't know why they are still alive, should we take them again..."

"Idiot! Cough cough..." He patted his chest vigorously, and Prince Zhongshun was furious, "Now that they are dead, isn't it obvious that I did it? Let them stay away for a few days Well, when the rumors stop, I want them to live but not die. Where are the assassins?"

"The last time we hired someone from the assassin organization to attend the birthday banquet at Prince Rui's mansion, you know, we can't move that organization." This time, the servant's words were full of helplessness, what are these things.

When Prince Zhongshun heard this, he felt depressed for a while, his face flushed, and it took him a long time to straighten out his anger: "Get out!"

He waved his hands frantically and drove people out, his shrewd eyes were full of calculations, who did it?

He knew that not only that, but Jia Yuanchun, who had been buried in the palace for a long time, was directly beaten with a board and thrown into the clothing bureau because he offended the emperor.Every time he thinks that the layout that he has worked so hard for a long time is disrupted, he feels like a knife hurts.

But after a while, he laughed, so what?

So what if the military power is handed over for a year, the army is all his own people, even if Prince Rui controls it for a year, nothing will change, in the end the military power is still his own.

As for those rumors, huh, who cares, as long as he controls the country and ascends to a high position, whoever dares to make irresponsible remarks, and those who fall to the emperor are just useless old pedants, what is the use of him?

As for Jia Yuanchun, it's a pity, but he has more people to replace her.

It's just that what he thought of, how could others not think of it? Lin Ke also raised his own question here.

Lin Qingze has been in a good mood these two days, so he explained to Lin Ke with a smile.

"You think daddy and I won't think of this? That's right, the military power lasted only one year, but you forgot that Yun Miao has already gone to the army, and he has already made outstanding achievements in the military in just a few months. We are waiting for this day. As for those old scholars, don't underestimate their pens and connections. Maybe they don't hold important powers, but they are representatives of the Qingliu, a model of scholars, and their strength in the scholarly circle is impressive. It's not the same, the emperor is slowly using those young poor scholars, they have just entered the court and have a place, those rumors will affect their political direction when they are just white clothes, maybe the effect is not obvious at first, But when you add it up, you can see that huge effect."

The more Lin Qingze said to the end, the better he felt.He knew that with King Zhongshun's conceited mind, he was determined not to consider those powers from the humble family and the fresh blood in the court who didn't seem to be doing well.

Lin Ke listened silently, and thought to himself that he was still far behind. To be precise, he could make small troubles, but in terms of long-term arrangements, he was stretched. I think my father and the others have been quietly planning this plan for a long time. Just waiting for an opportunity, and the birthday of Prince Rui's Mansion just provided this opportunity, he even suspected that even the birthday banquet of the Prince Rui's Mansion was part of the plan.

"Father, how long have you been planning this? Is the birthday also planned? I heard from Yue Zheng that their family never held such a luxurious birthday banquet." Ask if you have any ideas.

Hearing Lin Ke's question, Lin Qingze was quite comforted: "This is true, but we have calculated the result, but not the process. Originally, we wanted to use the birthday banquet to make trouble, but what I didn't expect was that Zhongshun himself sent it to the gun. , I met a foreigner, and I didn't expect your sister to be seriously injured." Said that Lin Su was seriously injured, Lin Qingze blamed himself endlessly.

"What about the assassin? And why did the lightning strike Zhongshun Palace so coincidentally on a rainy night?" Lin Ke felt like a rather ignorant person now, and this feeling was very bad.

"We can't move those assassins for now, we'll talk about them later."

"As for the thunder, ask your sister."
