After returning to the General's Mansion, as soon as Lin Sishen stepped into the hall, she was blocked by General Lin who had been waiting for her.General Lin was sitting in the main seat, and when he saw Lin Sishen coming in, he raised his eyelids, glanced at her, and snorted coldly.

Looking at General Lin's gloomy face, Lin Sishen's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands, saluting respectfully: "My son has seen my father."

General Lin raised his chin in a perfunctory manner, stood up and flicked his sleeves, walked past Lin Sishen expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "You follow my father to the study, and my father has something to say to you."

Lin Sishen responded, raised his eyes to look at General Lin's tall back, hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and followed quickly.

Walking through the long corridor, seeing the study room getting closer, Lin Sishen became more and more anxious.As far back as I can remember, whenever my father called her into the study, he would definitely reprimand her for something.But after thinking about it, she didn't remember what mistake she had made recently, which made General Lin angry.

If there is a fault to be found, it is probably because she has not said goodbye to her for half a month, but the eldest brother has already found an excuse for her. Presumably, my father will not punish her for this matter, right?

After entering the study, Lin Sishen stood in front of the desk with lowered eyebrows, looking respectful and submissive.On the other hand, General Lin leaned against the back of the chair, looking up and down at her with his arms folded and his eyes squinted.

Lin Sishen's scalp was numb from his sizing up, and before General Lin could speak first, she preemptively admitted her mistake: "Father, my son knows his mistake."

"Wrong?"

Seeing that Lin Sishen admitted his mistake first, General Lin raised his sword eyebrows as if a little surprised, he stared at Lin Sishen thoughtfully, and said in a deep thought, "Then tell me, what is your mistake?"

Lin Sishen tentatively admitted his mistake: "Baby...My fault is that I have been away from home for so long, and I didn't bid farewell to the elders in advance."

General Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard the words, he waved his hands in understanding and said: "Your elder brother said this, since you are going to solve problems for your friends, how can you blame you as a father."

If it's not for this, what else could it be for?

Just as Lin Sishen lowered his eyes to contemplate, General Lin suddenly raised his hand and slapped the table. Lin Sishen was so frightened that he raised his eyes and met General Lin's calm face.

General Lin looked at her with resentment, and snorted coldly: "Don't guess, you might as well think about it, how long has it been since you went to court."

It turned out that it was because of this matter that Lin Sishen's heart was almost in her throat, and she immediately fell back to her stomach. She coughed lightly and hesitated to speak, but General Lin couldn't wait to slap the table again and angrily said: "Half a year, since you After Longyou returned to Beijing, you didn't go to the court for half a year, but you are still a dignified servant of the military department, and you don't know what to do at home all day, so do you have any ambition?"

After all, it was true that Lin Sishen hadn't gone to court for a long time, and because she had been injured constantly, she had always asked General Lin to ask for leave on her behalf, and now it was time to go to court.

Lin Sishen thought for a while, then murmured softly: "Didn't the child get injured and recuperate at home, that's why he didn't go to court."

General Lin snorted, and stared at her angrily: "At any rate, he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is also a general who fought in the last battlefield. After being punched, he took half a year's leave. You are not afraid of being laughed at, but I am afraid of losing face." .”

After finishing speaking, General Lin waved his hand again, and sighed helplessly: "It's not because my father wanted to urge you, but when I went to the court yesterday, His Majesty asked about you, and after I retired from the court, my father heard the servant of the Ministry of Rites say that someone Secretly read your book to His Majesty, saying that you are still working in the mansion after you recover from your injury, and you are not working on your salary."

Lin Sishen smiled calmly when he heard the words, cupped his hands and said obediently: "Since His Majesty asked about it, the child dare not neglect, and will go to court with his father tomorrow."

General Lin stroked his beard in satisfaction, and wanted Lin Sishen to retreat, but he suddenly remembered something, and asked aloud: "Speaking of one more thing, do you know that Sun Wenqian, the governor of Longyou, was arrested Has he been transferred to be the shepherd of Jingzhao Mansion?"

Lin Sishen nodded, and replied: "I know, when my son returned to the city today, he happened to bump into Master Sun at the gate of the city."

General Lin frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked again: "You were investigating cases in Longyou before, and you have been with this Sun Wenqian before, what do you think of him?"

Lin Sishen's eyes flickered when he heard the words, and he looked at General Lin from the corner of his eyes, and said softly, "My son and Mr. Sun don't have much contact, so I don't know what Mr. Sun is like, but I don't know my father...why did you suddenly ask me?" Master Sun is coming?"

General Lin frowned and snorted coldly, with an angry expression in his eyes: "Yesterday, the fourth prince came to visit and mentioned Sun Wenqian to his father. The fourth prince said that Sun Wenqian is a sinister, cunning, and greedy person. Corruption among officials in Longyou is prevalent. It was because of him that the Fourth Prince even mentioned an old incident with Weifu."

The fourth prince and his father mentioned what Sun Wenqian was doing, Lin Sishen muttered to himself, and hurriedly asked General Lin: "Father, what old incident did the fourth prince and his father mention?"

General Lin didn't hide anything, and replied: "An old case, it was more than ten years ago that Chu Sima colluded with a foreign party to rebel and was ransacked and executed. You were still young at that time, so you probably didn't know about it."

Lin Sishen vaguely sensed that something was wrong, she stepped forward and said seriously: "I have heard about the Chu Sima case, but I don't know why the fourth prince mentioned an old case that has passed more than ten years with his father."

General Lin replied: "Perhaps, it is because the fourth prince knows that his father once met Chu Sima in the capital."

Lin Sishen was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Father actually met Chu Sima?"

General Lin nodded, as if recalling the past, with a dazed look on his face: "It's just a one-sided relationship, he was still a small county magistrate at that time, he came to Beijing for business, admiring his father's reputation, and specially prepared a small gift I came to visit my father."

Lin Sishen frowned, didn't speak again, and waited silently for General Lin to continue.

Sure enough, after thinking for a while, General Lin said again: "It's just that this matter is too long ago, as my father was busy with military affairs at that time, I only had a brief relationship with him, and I didn't have a deep friendship with him."

It is impossible for the fourth prince to mention Chu Sima with his father for no reason, and it happened at the moment when Sun Wenqian was transferred to the capital. Could it be that he knew that his father had some relationship with Chu Sima, and wanted his father to come forward and propose to the emperor to retry the case?

Lin Sishen was not the only one who wanted to get rid of Sun Wenqian, the fourth prince was also eyeing him. The fourth prince himself didn't want to offend the second prince, but wanted General Lin to do so.

Sure enough, as Lin Sishen expected, General Lin's face became more and more angry as he spoke, and at the end he even clenched his fists and said plausibly: "Although my father and Chu Sima did not have a close relationship, I also think that he is an open and aboveboard man. He was a person who colluded with other parties to launch a rebellion. Therefore, when my father heard about it, he was quite shocked. It is a pity that my father was fighting against the Lao people outside the customs at that time, so he didn't care about this case. He only knew that the case would be tried and convicted by the second prince."

Lin Sishen's expression changed when he heard the words, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Father, more than ten years have passed since this case, not to mention that Sun Wenqian has the protection of the second prince, it is really not easy to reverse the case and have a new trial, please father dispel this idea."

"You know what it means to be a father."

General Lin glanced at her, then suddenly took out a blood-stained old cloth from his sleeve, threw it on the table, raised his chin and said: "This bloody coat was given to my father by the Fourth Prince, please take a look. "

Lin Sishen picked up the bloody coat and unfolded it, only to see that the blood stains on it had turned black, and the white cloth at the edge had also turned yellow, and the densely packed blood characters were tearfully accusing Sun Wenqian of his crimes. Moved.

General Lin took a deep breath, and his eyes became sharper immediately: "This is the complaint that Chu Sima entrusted to his father before he was wronged and died. Yes, it was delivered to the hands of the father."

Lin Sishen folded the bloody clothes unhurriedly, drooping his eyes and said word by word: "It's not too soon, not too late, but it was at the moment when Sun Wenqian was transferred back to Beijing that the Fourth Prince sent the bloody clothes to his father. You can see it with your heart.”

General Lin didn't take it seriously, he suddenly stood up and frowned and said seriously: "After all, the fourth prince and the second prince are competing for the crown prince. It is inconvenient for him to make a move, but he is not afraid of being a father. The bloody clothes are true, and the handwriting is true Well, if Chu Sima really died as a result of being wronged, his father must avenge his injustice."

It's not that Lin Sishen doesn't know that General Lin is a stickler. She gritted her teeth and looked straight at General Lin, asking in a deep voice, "How does father know that this handwriting is not fake? If it was forged by the Fourth Prince, it was intended to..."

General Lin shook his head, raised his hand to point behind Lin Sishen, and interrupted her: "Look at the inscription behind you."

Lin Sishen turned around when he heard the words, and saw that on the formerly blank wall, a pair of characters had been hung up at some time, with the words "Protect the country and protect the people" written on it, and the signature was Chu Ziqing.

The handwriting on it is exactly the same as the handwriting on the bloody coat.

Lin Sishen was in a bad mood, and when he looked back at General Lin, he saw him silently drooping his eyes and smiling wryly, "Chu Sima's calligraphy is Zi Qing, this calligraphy was given to my father when he visited him back then, but it's just for my father. I haven’t hung it up all the time. It’s only now that my father realizes how much Chu Sima trusted him back then.”

Although Lin Sishen also wanted to deal with Sun Wenqian, the best way was to let the second prince do it himself. If General Lin made a rash move, the gain would outweigh the loss.The purpose of the fourth prince is not Sun Wenqian, he intends to bring down the second prince, he just wants to use General Lin's knife to force the second prince to jump over the wall.

Sun Wenqian knew the secret of Longling, the Second Prince would never sit idly by and let him fall into the hands of others.

Lin Sishen rubbed her forehead with some headaches, she took a deep breath, and planned to explain the pros and cons to General Lin: "Father, listen to my son, this is a trap set by the fourth prince, he didn't want to avenge Chu Sima, Instead, I want to use my father's hand to attack the second prince."

General Lin didn't have the heart to listen to Lin Sishen's words at this time, he raised his hand and pulled the bloody coat from Lin Sishen's hand, hid it in his sleeve, turned his back to Lin Sishen, waved his hands and said: "No matter what, I will take the bloody coat with you tomorrow as a father. Going up to the court in a blood-clothed suit and confronting Sun Wenqian in court, His Majesty will order a retrial of the case to find out the truth of the case."

"Father..."

Lin Sishen's expression froze, and she wanted to say something more, but General Lin interrupted her in a deep voice, not only that, but also issued an order to evict the guest: "Don't say any more, you step back."

Lin Sishen knew General Lin's temper, no matter what he said at this time, he would not listen to him, so she had no choice but to leave for now, it seemed that she could only think of another way to dispel General Lin's idea.
