[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian reached out to wipe off the water marks on his neck, he regained his composure, and coughed lightly to withdraw his thoughts.

After he straightened his expression, he continued to return to the topic just now and asked Zhao Wen: "The master has seen the Holy Master, and the Holy Master asked the Master to come to me with Eunuch Deping. It must be that the matter has come to an end?"

Zhao Wen nodded lightly: "Master Hou expected it well."

"Since Lord Hou had a heart, he entrusted the poor monk to do it a few days ago. The poor monk found a lot of those old people in the old years, and the Lord Hou also found a lot of people in private. Those who left due to illness and other reasons basically have traces. These old people have no power or power, but they can always piece together the accidents of the year. The poor monk sorted out a manuscript and placed them in the poor monk Here it is."

"The Holy Majesty found the poor monk a few days ago, and the poor monk talked with the Holy Majesty for a few words, then explained the events of the year one by one, and handed over the manuscript to the Holy Majesty."

According to the news, Lin Jian was told that Emperor Chengsheng had been checking the memorials and military reports submitted by the Lingnan area. Through the conversation with Lin Hong, Emperor Chengsheng felt that something was wrong. In addition, Lin Jian's behavior during this period It's really a bit abnormal. Emperor Chengsheng had never paid close attention to it before, but this time he made up his mind to clarify what happened back then.

After hearing this, Lin Jian said indifferently: "Besides the author of the military report, there are many aides and masters who have edited it to ensure that the things presented are not exaggerated or excessive, and the words are tactful and correct. Even if you read all the military reports back then, How can you see a problem with something that has been retouched?"

What Lin Jian meant was that Emperor Chengsheng thought it was useless to look at it.

Zhao Wen didn't agree with Lin Jian's words, but what he said next also proved this point.

Emperor Chengsheng really didn't see any big problems from the memorials and military newspapers, but he didn't find the answer he wanted either.

According to Wen said: "The Holy Majesty wants to know the current situation of the lieutenants who followed the old general back then. Lord Hou has made arrangements in this regard earlier, even if our people here do not have contact with the Holy Majesty, if the Holy Majesty has a heart, we can naturally find clues So not long after, the Holy Majesty found the poor monk."

During Lin Jian's three years in southern Anhui, he didn't let anyone know his identity at the beginning, so he wanted to make a name for himself with his own ability.Later, when he was brought back to the capital by Bai Yi, he also knew that he would definitely expose his identity during this trip, but he never thought of running away.

He was originally Lin Hong's son, and since he had obtained what he wanted through his own efforts, his background became his blessing, and there was no need to cover it up.

After he received the reward and returned to southern Anhui, at the beginning, everyone was really uncomfortable with his change of identity.He earned the reward and the position of general of the vanguard battalion based on his own military achievements. No one in the battalion questioned that he relied on Lin Hong to get these. The reason why everyone didn't adapt was that he didn't grow up in the countryside. The wild boy, but the third son of the former general's family.

Everyone was shocked by his origin.

But as time went by, there was no difference in Lin Jian's behavior in the camp, his attitude towards soldiers and his brothers who were born and died. He still took the lead and was still brave and good at fighting. The son was arrogant and conceited, and everyone's shock at his background gradually faded away.

Everyone still gets along as before.

Whether in the Lingnan Army, the Southern Anhui Army, or even the Northern Xinjiang Army, Lin Hong and his achievements are a myth.

Before Lin Jian's background was exposed, when he was with the soldiers, he often heard people around him talk about Lin Hong.It's just that most of the sergeants talked about Lin Hong's achievements, and their tone was reverence, and nothing about Lin Hong's past was involved.

Later, Lin Jian gradually got an official position, and gradually came into contact with the generals in the camp. Many people didn't know his background, but thought that his marksmanship had Lin Hong's style, and the number of times Lin Hong was mentioned in front of him was even greater. too much.

The generals in the battalion had their own sources of information, and some of them knew some of the circumstances of Lin Hong's injury back then. Whenever they talked about Lin Hong's brilliant achievements in the army and horse half his life, it was inevitable to mention Lin Hong's injury. These things, everyone sighed for a while, and then some people would make guesses about the events of the year, which aroused everyone's discussion.

And every time at this time, someone will naturally come out to stop the topic from going off track, so that everyone can't continue talking.It is naturally the chief generals of the battalions who stop this topic from continuing. Others do not know, but they are clear. Even if what happened back then is strange, it is also a thing of the past. Moreover, the lieutenants who followed Lin Hong back then gradually lost their The meaning of each was relegated to guard the frontier was already very clear.

In order to prevent the people under them from causing trouble, the camp leaders naturally forbade people to discuss these matters.

But these discussions had already remained in Lin Jian's heart at that time.

After everyone knew about his background, no one mentioned these things in front of him anymore, and Lin Jian didn't bother to find someone to ask, but just went to investigate in private to find the truth.

In the next few months, Lin Jian secretly investigated many things, got a lot of clues, and found the old man, but he used all the connections he could use secretly, including his own people, and kept investigating What is the true identity of the person who caused Lin Hong to be injured.

All the signs obtained still showed that Lin Hong's injury was inseparable from Emperor Chengsheng.Just as Lin Hong guessed later, judging from the results of the investigation, it is very likely that Lin Hong's injury was caused by Emperor Chengsheng.

Lin Hong was afraid of getting a result he couldn't bear, so he didn't want to continue the investigation, preferring to live a normal life.In essence, in Lin Hong's mind, he had already decided that Emperor Chengsheng was the one who did this.

Lin Jian felt that something was wrong.Even if Emperor Chengsheng did it, Lin Jian had to investigate the matter clearly.But with his own ability, he couldn't go on after checking here.

The other party is hiding too deeply, and he needs more powerful people to help him investigate together.Judging from the clues he got, it is very likely that Emperor Chengsheng was not the one who caused Lin Hong's injury, but someone who borrowed the name of Emperor Chengsheng and quietly sent someone to do this.

Lin Jian took every step of the way, leading Emperor Chengsheng to approach those things in the past step by step, and finally let Emperor Chengsheng find out that there was something abnormal in the past, and then arranged for Zhaowen to meet with Emperor Chengsheng, and the matter finally reached heaven.

And with Emperor Chengsheng's disposition, if he knows that someone has done such things in his name, he must investigate clearly.

Lin Jian said: "Although that person is deeply hidden, it may not be possible to find him. Your Majesty is rich all over the world. As long as you want to find out, you will definitely be able to find out who is behind the scenes."

"Tell me, is the person you found the person I thought of earlier?"

Zhao Wen nodded, and said softly: "Master Hou expected it well. It was the deceased Prince of Beijing who used the plan to assassinate the old general."

According to the news, it is the father of Shui Rong, the former county king Shui Chen who died of illness a few years ago.

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes: "It really is him."

Zhaowen said: "At the time when the two armies were at war, the old general led the army to a stalemate with the enemy for more than a month. Both sides were exhausted. In the final battle, if the old general hadn't beheaded the opponent's main general, we would not have won the final victory."

"But no matter which side wins, it will not affect Shui Chen's plan. Shui Chen sent killers to the battlefield early in the morning to wait for an opportunity to hurt the old general. If the old general is defeated by the enemy, the killer will take advantage of the chaos to come out and hurt the old general." the old general's leg, so that the old general will never be able to stand up again. If the enemy is defeated by the old general, then the killer will kill the enemy at the moment when the old general is relaxed. At that time, just after the war In the end, when the enemy army is in a rout, no one will guard against the appearance of killers, and they will easily succeed."

Even though it has been nearly ten years since the incident, and it has been nearly ten years since he heard and practiced, but the blood in his heart is not cold, even if he tried his best to restrain himself, his voice was still trembling and angry.

Lin Jian was silent for a long while before asking Zhao Wen, "Is the killer already dead?"

Zhao Wen nodded: "Yes. The killer was silenced by Shui Chen not long after that. Specifically, it was shortly after the Xining County King was appointed as a general."

Lin Jian lowered his eyes slightly, his eyelashes cast a shadow in the flickering firelight, but his eyes flickered coldly in the firelight: "Shui Chen is not in good health, and he has been resting in bed in his early years, and he can't leave the house at all, and he can't get up. It's been too long, let alone traveling. He hurt my father, and the title of the general will not fall to him. At that time, there was also a stalemate between the emperor and the four kings and eight princes. He concentrated on leaving the matter of Lingnan to me. Father, but the Four Kings and Eight Dukes are restless in other places, and the Holy One has no time to be distracted. In order to continue to expand the power of the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, and in order not to be suppressed, and to let the Holy One dispel the mind of eliminating the Four Kings and Eight Dukes, they must I can’t just watch my dad sit up and grow up.”

"If my father successfully recovers the entire territory of Lingnan, then it will be very difficult for them to deal with my father, let alone shake my father, based on my father's foundation in the Lingnan army alone, coupled with the support and respect of the Holy One. Therefore, Shui Chen's scheme was born."

"Shui Chen is intelligent by nature and has the ability to never forget. If it weren't for his poor health, he should be able to accomplish a lot. Even if this person is like this, he can still plan strategies at home. His plans must be big. They are all four kings and eight princes. He didn't know if he could kill my father all at once, that would be self-defeating, and hurting his leg would be the same as crippling him. So he made a move, and then pushed Shen Shu to the position of general."

Lin Jian said with a sneer, "Shen Shu won the seal, and he also made great achievements in recovering Lingnan. The Xining County Prince's Mansion is more useful than before. Isn't the power of the four princes and eight princes stronger?"
