[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

On October [-]th, Luan drove back to Beijing.

The itinerary was originally scheduled for the end of September, but the assassination happened at this juncture, so it was delayed.By the time everything is found out, the first ten days of October will be almost over.

The fifth prince was sent back to Beijing, and the matter came to an end.But the emperor was worried about Situ Yue's injury again. Seeing that he was recovering, he was worried about running around on the road, lest there would be a recurrence or root cause.

Now, the imperial doctor's course of treatment has ended, and the following Qin Tianjian said that after a while, there is fear of a strong snowstorm, and it will be even more difficult to leave if it blocks the way.

Thinking of this, the emperor finally opened his mouth and ordered the camp to be pulled out.

However, the weather is getting colder, and the speed can be imagined.It took ten days to come here in a refreshing autumn.Now it took fifteen days.

On the second day of November, Shengjia entered Beijing.

Two or three princes took the lead and led the officials staying in Beijing to greet them outside the city gate.

Saying "Welcome Your Majesty", everyone waited for the emperor to shout, but the emperor didn't respond, a head came out of the curtain from the holy car, waving his right hand, "Third brother!" After a pause, he called out again, "Second brother!"

Holy...Holy driver...The Ninth Prince is actually in the holy driver...

Has anyone else sat on the holy car of His Majesty?

Moreover, the emperor didn't show up yet, the Ninth Prince came out in front of the emperor?

This this……

Not to mention the officials, even Situ Ling was stunned.But seeing Situ Yue jumping off the carriage in a hurry, he was very relieved from the bottom of his heart.

The news from the paddock spread little by little, saying that Situ Yue was circled, fined, hurt his leg, and was injured. His heart sank.Even later, when he heard that the truth came out and that Situ Yue had obtained the Sacred Heart, he was still uneasy.

It's okay, it's okay, Situ Yue is fine!

Thinking like this, the person has come to the front, "Third brother, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Situ Kun had chased him down and put on the fox fur in his hand, "Frizzled, what do you look like, don't you see it's still snowing outside?"

He called Dai Quan to come forward and held up an umbrella to shield them from the wind and snow.

The accompanying officials seem to have seen a lot in the past ten days, and they have long since changed from initial surprise to current calm.The officials staying in Beijing opened their mouths wide open.

Who... Who will tell them, is this their Majesty?

When did His Majesty treat any prince so well?Moreover, didn't you say a while ago that King Ning was suspected of regicide, and was he circled?Even King Kang, who was in Beijing, was also imprisoned!Even if the truth comes out now, it's... not too bad, right?

What the hell is going on here!

Situ Kun looked at them and said flatly, "Pingshen!"

ah?flat body?Oh, flat body!

All the officials stood up one after another, but the doubts in their hearts did not dissipate in the slightest.

Situ Yue happily pulled Situ Ling back, "Third Brother, it's great that you're fine. These days, I've been worried that you'll be bullied by those mean-spirited guys."

Baiguan's calf shivered.Master Jiu!The emperor is still here!Don't even think about it, how did the turmoil come about, it was ordered by the emperor, do you mean the emperor is wrong?

Even if the emperor is wrong, is it really okay for you to say that in front of the emperor!

Situ Ling was anxious in his heart, but he saw Situ Yue blinking hard at him with his back to Situ Kun.Before he came back to his senses, Situ Kun had already spoken, "I gave Liu Changqing an order for the matter in Beijing. He did something to you!"

Liu Changqing, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment.From the second grade, which is also a relatively high-ranking official in Beijing, he is standing in front.Hearing this step, his body shook.

"Return to father. Master Liu just let the son stay in the mansion and not go out. He didn't do anything to the son. Master Liu is also responsible."

Liu Changqing wiped off his sweat, and said in his heart, Kang Wang is still kind.Although he did not do anything to King Kang, there were always questions and doubts.The tone is not necessarily polite.As long as Kang Wang gave the emperor a little bit of eye drops, he might die, and the end would be hard to say.

Situ Kun nodded lightly, thinking: It should be so.Situ Ling is the prince after all, unless he is the father of a monarch, no one else would dare to do anything to him.Even if it is closed, it is still in the mansion.Everything is available.In addition to not being free and not being able to communicate with each other, nothing else is in the way.

Thinking of this, he thought of Situ Yue again.Thinking of when Lin Yan found out the doubts and went to see him, he was pale, lying on the bed, struggling to get down, and wanted to salute himself, but those legs couldn't kneel down for a long time, and he couldn't get up after kneeling.Xiao Fuzi supported him, only silently wiped his tears, but he didn't dare to let himself see, for fear of offending himself and hurting his master.

Situ Kun sighed and pushed Situ Yue, "Go back to the car, it's cold outside!"

Situ Yue rolled his eyes, and pushed Situ Ling, "Third Brother, please accompany Father in the carriage, and my son will ride a horse!"

As soon as the words fell, the man had already snatched Situ Ling's horse, jumped on it and ran away.Situ Kun's face darkened instantly, and he winked at the two guards beside him.

So, not long after, everyone saw that Situ Yue, who had run away in a hurry, was tied up by two King Kongs, one on the left and one on the right, with a man and a horse.

"Father, you can't treat me like this! I've been sleepy for more than a month! The imperial doctor said, it's okay, it's okay! It's all okay! Erchen is a big man, and he's not a delicate sister-in-law..."

The word "Niang" could not be uttered, and with a bang, he had been thrown into the holy car by the two King Kongs.

Situ Kun snorted coldly, stepped on the little eunuch's back, and waved his hand, "Go back to the palace!"

As for the officials?Go back to each house, find each mother, do what you like, I don't have time to talk to you now!

Baiguan: Heaven, earth!Who will tell them what happened to this miraculous scene!The skillful movements of the two guards are still against a prince, hehe, don't tell us this is the first time!Who would believe it!

******

Lin House.

Lin Song accompanied Lin Huai while Lin Huai stayed in the mansion. When he heard that Sheng was driving into Beijing, he ordered his servants to turn on the heater.

When the family enters the house, they feel warm.Lin Yan couldn't help being proud, "What do mother and sister think? Is it much easier to use than those charcoal basins in the past? Tell me, my heating is necessary, but my father blames me!"

Lin Ruhai stared, did he blame the heater?He was obviously moving the ancestral hall to blame!

I don’t know if it’s because he’s been in the tent for a long time, but he’s obsessed with crawling on the ground, wanting to lie on the ground and be picked up by the wet nurse. ,"mother!"

Jia Min coaxed him, "This ground is not like a tent with blankets, you can't play like this."

Lin Yan hurriedly said: "What's the matter? Ask someone to go to the storeroom to get some blankets to spread a layer, and set aside a special place, just let him play."

Hearing this, Brother Cheng smiled and clapped his hands, "Hello, brother! Hello, brother!"

Lin Yan pinched his nose, "You little bastard, you're used to being a fool. Now that you know me, why don't you still talk about my sister yesterday?"

Brother Ling was giggling, and scratched his head to look at Daiyu. Seeing that Daiyu was smiling, she was not angry, and stretched out her hand: "Sister, give me a hug!"

Daiyu hurriedly ran over and took brother Reng into her arms.However, a little Douding who is less than six years old, holding a little Douding who is more than one year old and four months old, is really not reassuring.The wet nurse stretched out her hand to drag it, and even Jia Min also protected her.Seeing that their siblings refused to separate, they pursed their lips and laughed.

Lin Huai came in and took a look at Lin Ruhai and Lin Yan.Jia Min understood, and took Dai Yuzheng to the outside room, and the sound of playfulness completely covered up the whispers of the three people inside.

"Recently, a lot of things have happened in Beijing. It has something to do with hunting together. The Criminal Ministry and the Imperial Guard suddenly surrounded Kang Wang's mansion. Everyone in Beijing was in danger and couldn't figure it out. Then they suddenly withdrew, but it was the Fifth Prince He was sent back and directly locked up in the clan mansion. Only then did everyone know what happened.

There is one more thing.It's just that the Huo family and the Jia family are having a lot of trouble.The girl from the Huo family had that incident with the master of the East Mansion, her innocence was ruined, so she decided to make the right mistake and marry directly into the Jia family.However, the Jia family felt that it was because of the Huo family's calculations that they failed the emperor's reprimand and lost such a good daughter-in-law as Princess Zhaoyang.Life and death do not agree.

However, a few days ago, the old lady of the Huo family went to the West Mansion several times one after another, and said something to Mrs. Jia.Mrs. Jia made a lot of effort out of it.Now, although Master Zhen has not nodded, his attitude has eased a lot. "

Jia Rong and Huo Ling?If this couple really becomes a couple, with Huo Ling's temperament, wouldn't the Dong Mansion be turned upside down?Then there will be a good show!Lin Yan chuckled, quite excited.

"Besides, there is a letter from the Ye family."

Lin Yan was shocked, "Say!"

"Chunyan has been serving Mrs. Ye. According to her, Mrs. Ye can read and write, and she can also play a good pipa. Even her demeanor has a certain style, but she is old and her appearance is not as good as hers." Young man, he still has charm."

Lin Yan was suspicious, "What's the matter? It is said that Mrs. Ye was also the daughter of a small rich family. Later, her family fell into poverty, and in a disaster year, her relatives died. , It's normal to know some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Lin Huai smiled, "My uncle doesn't know Chunyan's identity. Chunyan was sold into a kiln at the age of three, but because of her poor color, her mother was afraid of losing money, so she never spent a lot of money to train her. She was just served by the red card girl. For seven years, she Served three or four top cards.

She has seen clearly the activities in those restaurants, and she understands the behavior of these ladies and gentlemen better.Even though they are all talented, this prostitute is far from a daughter. "

Lin Yan was stunned, "Uncle Huai, you mean... that Mrs. Ye is..."

"Exactly! A person's identity has changed, his attire has changed, and his appearance has also deteriorated, but the habits he has cultivated since childhood will not change. Chunyan has been influenced by her ears since she was a child, and her vision in this regard is unmistakable. "

Lin Yan's eyes slowly turned to Lin Ruhai, with a glimmer of light in his eyes, "Father, how could there be someone like Chunyan in our house? Could it be you..."

With a slap, Lin Yan ducked his head and stared, "I'm sure you won't be right, you should be angry from embarrassment!"

Lin Ruhai was so angry that his veins twitched violently.Lin Huai wanted to cover her face, unable to laugh or cry, "Master, Chunyan was only ten years old when she came to the house. Not long after, the master took his wife and you to the south. It was the servant who saw that something was wrong with Chunyan and arrested her to ask her. her past.

She was redeemed along with the last top card.But the fate of that card was not good, the husband lied to her and ran away with the belongings.The head card vomited blood and died of heartbreak.She buried the top card and had nowhere to go, and she didn't want to go back to the brothel.So he concealed it from the past, only saying that he came from the north to flee famine, and sold himself into the Lin family.

The servant saw that she was thoughtful and flexible.So he made up his mind, reported it to the master, and stayed to train him well.Although the master knew about this, he had never seen her before! "

Lin Yan said innocently, "When did I say that father has anything to do with her? Uncle Huai, you have been with father for so many years, don't you still believe in him? There are a lot of good-looking girls in our house, It's not that mother can't tolerate people. When did you see your father look sideways? Tsk tsk, it's not good for you to doubt your father like this!"

"Master, there are no slaves!"

"If not, why are you so eager to explain, Uncle Huai!"

Lin Huai is about to cry, isn't that uncle, do you doubt it?

Lin Yan blinked: how could I!

He did not!In fact, he just wanted to ask Lin Ruhai if he had been to those places with his colleagues, or on other occasions, or met people who came out of that place. He happened to meet Chunyan being bullied by others, and he stretched out his hand to save her. By the way, see that she can be cultivated, and buy it back for later use.

He really didn't doubt what Lin Ruhai and Chunyan had!Don't talk about age.If there was anything, I would have been a concubine long ago!As he himself said, Jia Min is not intolerable!

Lin Huai closed her mouth tightly and remained silent.That look is very helpless, as if saying: I doubt it!I doubt it, and I explain it on purpose, okay!I will take the blame!

Lin Yan turned his head and glanced at Lin Ruhai's gloomy face, coughed twice, "Uncle Huai, keep talking!"

"Master, the servant is finished!"

Lin Yan turned his head and looked at Lin Ruhai as if nothing had happened: "Father, the household registration is the daughter of a small rich family, but it turns out that she is a prostitute. This is not easy. Do you want to investigate further?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at Lin Huai.

Lin Huai understood, "I understand. Let's investigate now!"

With that said, he backed out.Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Father, are you tired, or should I beat your back?"

"Need not!"

provoke!The voice is so cold.

"Why don't you beat your legs?"

"Need not!"

"What about squeezing your shoulders? Dad, you must be tired after traveling all the way, for sure!"

Seeing his dog-legged appearance, Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop smiling, but he pressed it down forcefully.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Yan hurriedly got up and moved behind Lin Ruhai to massage him, but she still didn't stop talking.

"Father, you said earlier that the people around the Fifth Prince only died tragically, and the others didn't get to the bottom of it?"

"Hmm!" Lin Ruhai paused, "Your Majesty is not a tyrant."

Lin Yan frowned, "That's the case, but as an aide, even if it has nothing to do with this matter, I have done a lot of things to help the fifth prince in the past. How can it be so easy to get out?"

Lin Ruhai knew right away that he actually cared about Ye He.

"Ye He is accompanied by the identity of an unknown little guard. Not an aide."

That is to say, everyone only regards him as a small bodyguard, who has no power, power and foundation, let alone the secrets of the Fifth Prince.Naturally, no one cares about such small pawns.

The emperor would not personally ask such a person.And only the Fifth Prince and his second and third confidants knew about this matter.Now my heart is dead.The fifth prince was in such a situation, his mind was full of thoughts about how to escape, or how to make the emperor change his mind, he was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't even bother to worry about a staff member.

but……

Lin Yan's expression flickered, "No! The assassination matter is very important, and the interrogation must be very strict. Even if this matter has nothing to do with Ye He, after all we have worked together for so long. Didn't the other aides mention it at all?

What's more, even the servant who the fifth prince sat down to clean up was locked up and questioned.How could Ye He not?Or, it was originally there, but it was erased by someone? "

A smile gradually appeared in Lin Ruhai's eyes.

Lin Yan knew that Lin Ruhai had already thought of what he thought of.

So here comes the problem!Who is this person who helped Ye He!

There are only two people with this ability.It was Zhang Chengye and King Zhongshun who were in charge of this matter.

If it is Zhang Chengye, then who is standing behind him?Is it the eldest prince?The Eldest Prince was once sent by His Majesty to be an assistant to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and even worked closely with Zhang Chengye in the case of the Zhen family.And it was also found out that Ye He and the eldest prince were secretly involved, so it seems that it is not impossible.

If it is King Zhongshun, then he is a prince, he fights cocks and dogs every day, buys a thin horse to raise an actor, and has no dispute with the court, why should he help Ye He?What's wrong with this?

And when they helped Ye He, they just fished out their own people, or was there some link in the process that they didn't know about?

Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on Lin Yan's back.This matter is not over!

Lin Ruhai stood up, "Your Majesty has closed the case, do you understand?"

"understand!"

Everything they think now is just speculation.No matter whether it is Zhang Chengye or King Zhongshun, if they can do something as big as assassinating His Majesty, then they will not be caught easily.

Without evidence, how would they tell the emperor?I'm afraid that at that time, people will catch the handle and bite back, right?

Besides, it was His Majesty who didn't investigate the people who were not involved in the incident.So, even if they have a way to prove that Ye He was used by the fifth prince, as long as he never participated in this matter, so what?

Another point is that the current situation is the most favorable time for them and for the two princes Sanjiu.The opportunity is rare!If this matter is brought up again, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no other troubles.

Therefore, it is better to be still than to move at this time.In order not to scare the snake, it gave the opponent a chance to counterattack.

Now, the other party doesn't know that they have suspicions, so secretly investigating is the best way.At least, they have to wait until they have further evidence in their hands!

The corner of Lin Yan's mouth curled up. He felt that he was becoming more and more curious about Ye He!
