[Red Mansions] Lord Hou's daily routine

Lin Jian said: "I'm just following the trend. I also want to confuse the public and paralyze them, so that they can relax their vigilance. From their point of view, my behavior is because of a few words of Shui Rong, which made me worry about my situation, so I swelled/ My Lin family began to have their own selfish intentions. This is in line with their wishes, and in private, I want to follow their wishes, but I also have my own considerations, and I have to figure it out of these things."

Lin Jian wanted to find out the truth/truth of what happened back then. There was a knot in the past between Lin Hong and Emperor Chengsheng. Only when this knot was untied could things go on.

Lin Jian had a lot of intentions in this game, and just as Xiao Yu said, he had planned this game long before the eldest prince made trouble.

Xiao Yu had been forced to stay out of the matter for the past few months, but he couldn't be at ease. Even though Lin Jian didn't agree with him, he still paid close attention to Lin Jian's situation besides running his own errands.

It's just that Lin Jian didn't tell him. Even if he could guess some, he still had many doubts in his heart.

When he brought Lin Jian to the East Palace Office, he deliberately asked Lin Jian about these things. Thinking of his speculation at the time, Xiao Yu felt completely enlightened today. What he thought of using his body as bait at that time was originally Lin Jian himself. Those who use their bodies as bait, and those who will Cheng Shengdi use their bodies as bait.

At that time Lin Jian refused to ask him to participate, Xiao Yu was not only puzzled, but also a little bit dissatisfied.

Now that he thought about it carefully, Xiao Yu knew Lin Jian's good intentions.

Whether it's the game between Lin Jian and the four kings and eight princes, or Lin Jian's temptation to Emperor Chengsheng, Xiao Yu, the crown prince, is actually inconvenient to participate in it.

If he was just a prince, he might be able to help Lin Jian deal with the forces of the four kings and eight princes, but as Emperor Chengsheng once said, he is the prince of Da Zhou and will be the emperor of Da Zhou in the future. He can't just see one person and one thing, what he wants to see is the whole world.

Lin Jian's plan to test Emperor Chengsheng was for the Lin family's affairs and to find an answer to what he was going to do next, so he, the crown prince, should not interfere.If Lin Hong's leg injury really has anything to do with Emperor Chengsheng, should he, the crown prince, be on the side of his father, or should he be on the side of Lin Jian, who grew up together with an unusual love? ?

Lin Jian had a clear understanding of these interests, so from the very beginning, he left Xiao Yu aside, avoiding his dilemma of being in a dilemma.

Xiao Yu pondered for a long time before saying, "I have one last question."

"Yunxi, since when did you come to an agreement with your father?"

Lin Jian smiled lightly: "On the day I was imprisoned."

"Your Highness, to be frank, I have never doubted His Majesty's affection and importance for my father. But judging from the clues I have found, His Majesty is indeed inseparable from my father's injury. My father After returning to the capital, he was willing to endure indifferently until now. He did not have the courage to face it, let alone destroy the existing situation. His mood at that time was really contradictory. It is actually very difficult for people to accept that the saint who served him hurt him. My father chose to escape."

"After all, at that time, there was really no time for my father to bring this matter up on the table."

Lin Jian said slowly, "It's been so many years in a flash, I don't want to watch my father go on like this. My father doesn't understand this knot, so let me untie it."

"My father's birthday banquet was once, it was once to ask for a reward from the Holy One in person, it was once to spread rumors in Mandu to persecute the Holy One, it was once to see me alone at the back of the palace, and I tested the Holy Spirit's mind again and again, It was all to make sure that the Holy One was not the instigator of my father's leg injury. I was overreaching, but the result was very good. The Holy Majesty treated my father with great kindness, and my father died to repay it. At that time, I said Only after a few words did the Holy Majesty understand my inner intentions."

At that time, Lin Jian was still acting, so he couldn't talk too much with Emperor Chengsheng, besides, he was about to be imprisoned, and he had to do everything by himself. He didn't have to talk too much with Emperor Chengsheng about the manuscript.

Of course, Emperor Chengsheng didn't know that Lin Jian's repeated attempts were to test his intentions. This was also due to Lin Jian's unscrupulous temperament. It's only because of another crime that he speaks out like this. Even though he feels a little strange in his heart, Emperor Chengsheng is really angry because of Lin Jian's actions.

But after Lin Jian said those few words, Emperor Chengsheng thought about it a few times, and the doubts in his heart were resolved.From it, he felt that Lin Jian was acting in a show, and he didn't show anything at the moment, and he still showed a lingering anger.

On the surface, Emperor Chengsheng ordered the Criminal Department of Dali Temple to investigate Lin Jian's case, but in private, Emperor Chengsheng had secretly sent someone to investigate the whole story, and finally found Zhaowen's place.

Xiao Yu put himself in Lin Jian's position and thought about it back and forth. He always felt that Lin Jian's round was not easy. If one step is not taken well, then it is really doomed and the consequences are unpredictable.

Xiao Yu sighed softly: "You are also a painstaking effort. In fact, my father never blamed you. I used to annoy you when I didn't know about it. Now the truth is revealed. Even if my father doesn't say it, I can see it. My father I still feel guilty towards Zhennan Gong in my heart. Back then, my father was very reassuring of Zhennan Gong, and the Lingnan matter was fully handled by Zhennan Gong, but I never thought that they would go all the way and secretly tamper with Lingnan, so that Xiao People took advantage of the loopholes and found an opportunity to hurt Zhennan Gong."

"Although the matter has come to an end now, no matter what decision and disposal the emperor makes, it will be impossible to restore Zhennan Gong's injured leg."

Lin Jian fixedly looked at Xiao Yu, and asked him, "Your Highness, how did the matter end?"

Xiao Yu was still sighing, but when he heard Lin Jian's words, he paused for a long time without answering.

He hesitated again and again, but opened his mouth while Lin Jian was looking straight at him.

"Yunxi, Father found out the traces of the group of killers that Shui Chen raised back then. That killer organization has been hiding in the rivers and lakes. It took a lot of thought and time for Father to find them, and sent people to wipe out their lair. It’s just that those killers resisted desperately, fought hand-to-hand with officers and soldiers, killed many people, and only caught a few alive in the end.”

"They admitted that they were sent to attack and wound Zhennan Gong. At the same time, they also admitted that they had done many things for Shui Chen. They have always been under Shui Chen's orders. They said that Shui Chen set them free before he left, and they fled. Entering the rivers and lakes, I have always made a living by accepting live sex. The Ministry of Criminal Justice sent people to investigate, and my father and I also sent people to investigate. What they said is true. After Shui Chen died, it is true that they could not be found with Bei Jing again. There are traces of coming and going in the county prince's mansion."

Lin Jian sneered: "If you can't find any traces, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Beijing County Prince's Mansion really gave up on them. Such a useful group of people was trained by Shui Chen. Will he give up so easily just because he is about to die? ? He is going to die, but his son, and those who have made good friends with him in the Beijing County Palace, may not need these killers to work for them."

"The Holy Majesty and His Highness can't find any traces. This is a problem in itself. To a large extent, this means that they are still obeying someone. This person erased all traces in order to avoid being implicated. , Let this group of killers completely cut off from him, and disguise them as a killer organization that is only active in the Jianghu."

Xiao Yu nodded: "I think so too. Moreover, if this conjecture is true, then the only one who can make these killers do this is the master who makes them swear allegiance to the death. It seems that only That's how many people there are."

Xiao Yu naturally knew more about the situation than Lin Jian outside. He told Lin Jian, "When the officers and soldiers went to wipe out those killers, the two sides fought hand in hand, and many people died. But when I sent people over to check later, Most of the officers and soldiers were killed by a sword sealing their throats, which shows that the skills of the killers are more than those of the officers and soldiers. The wounds on the killers are very strange. Although many of them were fatal with a single knife, after checking it out, it was found that many of them looked like It was the killers who were beheaded by officers and soldiers, but in fact they used their own skill to bump into them, which resulted in a fatal result."

"Yunxi, just like what you said, there are big problems in this."

Lin Jian said, "Has the Ministry of Criminal Justice ever tortured those living victims?"

Xiao Yu said lightly: "They use all kinds of torture, but they still don't change a single word."

"Needless to say, the head of the Ministry of Punishment naturally saw that they were concealing something. For this case, the emperor chose to interrogate his confidantes. They naturally know his intentions. Even if torture is used, they will not let them die. A doctor was invited to treat their wounds, and after they were cured, they continued to be tortured. Only when they were alive, could they learn the truth. But in the end, those few survivors still died. They lost too much blood and died from treatment."

Meeting Lin Jian's direct gaze, Xiao Yu's gaze also gradually cooled down, "Afterwards, we found someone to examine the bodies of those killers. They should have taken a drug before they were arrested. This kind of medicine will make their wounds bleed and rot rapidly, and they will not heal if they are treated with medicine again. They will die within two or three hours after the injury. Yunxi, Father Emperor and I have asked someone to look at it, and no one Know the origin of the medicine. And only half an hour later, those medicines were dissolved in the body that was gradually freezing, and no trace could be found anymore."

"That is to say, nothing?"

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart, could it be that his plan leaked out?Or are they already prepared?
