Shui Shen heard the news from Shui Qing that he was going to exterminate the Lin family on the fifth day after Yang Yi left Jinling, he was so angry that he quickly ordered his servants to prepare a boat for him to go to Yangzhou.

"Shui Shen, what are you doing?" Shui Qing asked displeased.

Shui Shen said: "I always thought that Lin Ruhai was killed by the emperor, but now it seems that I probably guessed wrong."

Shui Qing shook her head and said: "You guessed right, I just played a role in fueling the flames."

"It doesn't matter whether Lin Ruhai dies or not, it's just that his two children are innocent, why did you touch them?" Shui Chen asked, he really didn't understand the need for Shui Qing to eradicate the Lin family, Yang Yi and Lin Daiyu were just two What a child can understand.

Shui Qing said: "It's not just me who wants to kill them, I also have no choice."

"What do you mean?" Shui Shen asked.

"My people found out that Lin Ruhai built a private treasury for his father in Yangzhou earlier. The finances and weapons hidden in it were all prepared for the crown prince to stabilize the throne after he ascended the throne. Now the father intends to let Lin Ruhai hand over these to King Zhongshun It was used to seize power. Although Lin Ruhai was very sincere to his father, he also saw that King Zhongshun was not a candidate for the emperor, so he wrote a letter to persuade his father, but in the end he was killed.

The key to the private treasury has always been in Lin Ruhai's hands. After Lin Ruhai fell ill, his father's people turned the Lin mansion upside down but could not find the key, so the father suspected that the key might be in the hands of Lin Ruhai's children.I would rather kill them both first, and never find the private treasury, than Zhongshun get the key, and then rebel. "

"Since the key is in the hands of the two of them, if you send someone to get it, wouldn't the two children refuse to give it to them? Killing them is not the only way." Shui Chen said.

Shui Qing looked at Shui Chen with narrowed eyes, and said, "You think I don't know what you're thinking, do you have a crush on that kid from the Lin family?"

Shui Shen took a step forward, staring and asked: "Since you know what I'm thinking, why do you still do that?"

"You are my own younger brother. I know your temper well since you were a child. If you are really with the Lin family boy, will you still be willing to obediently marry the concubine?" Shui Qing asked in a deep voice.

"No." Shui Shen said bluntly.

"It is precisely because you are not willing to marry the concubine that I want to get rid of the Lin family boy. If you are just having fun, I will never care about you." Shui Qing said, "Now that the power in the court is not stable, it is still a There are many people who have different opinions. If I want to secure this position, I need the support of those important ministers. There are already enough women in the harem, and the water is sinking. I need you to marry the prime minister's daughter-in-law as the concubine."

This is the first time Shui Qing called himself Zhen in front of Shui Chen. Shui Chen clenched his fists tightly, turned around and walked out with a dark face. He should have thought a long time ago that once there is a difference between monarch and minister, no matter how good a brother is... It will be the same as before.

Lin Daiyu died suddenly, Yang Yi had to let the two coffins stay at home for a few more days, and he himself dismissed all the servants in Lin's mansion, leaving only two heartfelt servants and two maids, Nanju and Beizhi, Then he started to clean up all the properties of the Lin family in Yangzhou.

Yang Yi couldn't stay in Lin's house any longer, otherwise who knows who will come to kill him next time.And he is really not suitable for this kind of life that is bound by various rules all day long, so he plans to find a quiet and safe place to live in the future.

When Shui Chen arrived in Yangzhou, Yang Yi had already sold everything that the Lin family could sell, because the title of the Lin family was completely cut off in Yang Yi's generation, and he didn't have the intention to be an official, so Yang Yi even bought several places in the Lin family. Zhuangzi sold them all, intending to take up the money and go homeless.

Shui Chen saw that Lin's mansion was hung with mourning banners, but the house was deserted, and he didn't even meet a single servant.He walked all the way into the main room, and found that the valuable furnishings in the room were gone, only a few large pieces of worthless furniture remained.His sinking heart was lifted, unless the owner of the house was gone and the servants had fled, how could the house be empty.

"Wu Fu, ask a few people to go to the backyard to see if there is anyone else."

After hearing the order, Wu Fu quickly sent a few men to check in the backyard. After searching for a long time, he saw the last few soft oranges and oranges in a room.

"Where's your master?" Wu Fu asked hastily.

"Our master has gone out. Wufu, what are you doing here?" Nanju asked.

"Our prince heard that Master Lin passed away, so he came here to pay respects. Is Master Lin okay?"

"How could it be better, our girl also passed away on the night the master passed away, the young master didn't want to stay at home anymore, he sold everything he could sell, even this house. I can't see it either." Bei Zhi said.

"You two girls, do you know when Uncle Lin will come back? Our prince is waiting outside!" Wu Fu said.

"Our master went to the government to sign the deed with the person who bought the house, and he will be back soon." Bei Zhi said, while handing the unpacked package to Nan Ju, asking her to continue packing, while he went I went to the kitchen to pour water to make tea.

When Yang Yi returned to the Lin Mansion, he saw a large carriage parked outside, and there were a few familiar boys standing at the door, one of the boys who was looking around saw Yang Yi, and hurried down the steps to shout Said: "Uncle Lin, you are here, our prince has been waiting inside for almost an hour."

The sinking of the water has come?Yang Yi was a little surprised, shouldn't Shui Shen be busy helping the new emperor prepare for house raids at this moment, what is he doing here?

Yang Yi entered the hall, and Shui Shen was pacing anxiously. When he saw Yang Yi coming in, he quickly scanned Yang Yi, and after making sure that Yang Yi looked good, he drove the girls out, and then asked : "Qiuyu, your girl told me that you have sold this house and are leaving here, is it true?"

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Well, I'm the only one in the Lin family now, so there's really no need to live in such a big house."

"Then where do you plan to move? You are always smart, you should know that your situation is not good now, why not go back to Jinling with me." Shui Shen suggested that if Yang Yi was brought back to the Palace of Zhongqing, he would be able to protect him comprehensively. .

"No, I don't plan to go back to Jinling." Yang Yi shook his head. Lin Ruhai is dead, and the Zhen family is about to be ransacked. Knowing that he will definitely stalk him to death, then there will be endless troubles.

Shui Shen frowned, and asked, "Why don't you go back to Jinling?"

"I want to go around and relax." Yang Yi said, he has been feeling someone staring at him for the past few days, and he doesn't know when they will start. He just wants to hide away and wait for three years After five years of those who wanted to harm him had all forgotten about him, it would not be too late to go back to Jinling to deal with Jinling's real estate.

"Qiuyu, it's not safe for you to go out alone now. If you want to visit various places, I will take you there when the court is stable in a few days." Shui Shen stepped forward and said.

"My lord, please go back. You don't have to worry about my affairs." Yang Yi sat down and said.

"What are you talking about? You already know my intentions, shouldn't I worry, if not, why should I come here in such a hurry?" Shui Shen said angrily, he rushed to Yangzhou day and night, worried all the time Concerned about Yang Yi's safety, Yang Yi not only did not see any joy when he saw him, but was so disgusted by him, how could he have suffered such a crime.

Although Yang Yi and Shui Chen had good feelings for each other, they had unequal status from the beginning, and since Shui Chen already had several wives and concubines, it was destined that they were unlikely, so Yang Yi didn't pay much attention to their affairs.At this moment, Shui Shen asked him, but he had no choice but to lower his head and not answer.

Seeing that Yang Yi didn't speak, Shui Chen was even more angry, took out a pouch from his arms and threw it on the table, saying: "If you don't know what I mean, why did you give me this pouch that day?"

When Yang Yi saw that it was the old purse he casually sank in the water last time, he couldn't help being a little surprised. It's very common for people who like each other to give each other some small personal items, although such things as purses are inevitably ambiguous. , but it's not too strange, after Yang Yi met Jia Baoyu, he had seen him exchange purses with several young masters, but he didn't expect Shui Chen to carry his purses next to him.

"How big is the prince's heart?" Yang Yi asked.

"I hope you and I will become brothers." Shui Chen said.

"My lord should know that I am the only son of the Lin family, and I will be the successor of the Lin family in the future. What does your lord think?" Yang Yi asked.

"This..." Shui Chen didn't know how to answer. Naturally, he didn't want the person he loved to marry and have children with a woman he didn't know, but he didn't treat Yang Yi as a prostitute, but wanted to marry Yang Yi. Yang Yi formed a contract brother, so naturally he couldn't stop Yang Yi from marrying a wife and having children.

"My lord, if you can be a couple for a lifetime, I will go back with my lord, if you can't, please go back, my lord." Yang Yi said, stood up and walked out.

Shui Shen stood in the house for a while, and finally put away the purse and left the Lin Mansion, but left a few men in the Lin Mansion to protect Yang Yi when he went out.As long as Shui Shen is a prince for a day, he will not be willful for a day. The reason why he was able to come to Yangzhou this time is because he acquiesced to Shui Qing's request to let him be the prime minister's daughter.

"My lord, my lord has already left." Bei Zhi said.

"I know." Yang Yi sighed, feeling a little depressed after all, "Have you packed everything?"

"Yes."

"We'll leave in the evening. I've asked the boy to park the carriage in the next street. Let's get out of the city before the city gate is closed." Yang Yi said.

"My lord, my lord left a few people outside the mansion, I'm afraid it's not easy to leave." Bei Zhi said.

"How many people did he keep?" Yang Yi asked, but he didn't wait for Bei Zhi's answer, so he took out a pack of medicine powder from his sleeve and handed it to Bei Zhi, "You invite these people in, and then put this pack of things Pour it into the meals that are prepared for them."

Bei Zhi didn't ask any more questions, took the medicine package and left.

After fainting those people in the evening, Yang Yi left a letter for Shui Chen, and then quietly left the Lin Mansion through the back door with Nanju and Beizhi, and went around a few small alleys to the next street, where there were already two A young man was standing by the side of the two carriages, and when he saw the three of them rushing over to pick up their luggage, he helped them into the carriage.

When Shui Shen went back to the Lin Mansion the next day, he only saw a few subordinates lying in the room and a letter left on the table, Yang Yi and the others had long since disappeared.
