Master of Karma in the Red Chamber

"What, you said that Prince Shun is dead? Can you confirm it is him?" Yan Liang was surprised.

Qi Shengao nodded, "I'm sure, how many of my people are there, and I can't fake it when I see it with my own eyes."

Yan Liang frowned, thinking about what the young man said to him just before he died, he couldn't help feeling really strange.

"Why do you think it's Prince Shun?" Qi Shen looked at Yan Liang suspiciously.

Yan Liang remembered about the list, and wondered whether he should tell Qi Shengao.Logically speaking, judging from the period of time he has been with Qi Shengao, this person's character is not bad, so he should be credible.But once there was really some hidden meaning behind the list, and he was misunderstood by Qi Shengao or even by the emperor, then it would be impossible to tell.

Yan Liang felt that he couldn't take this risk. After all, he didn't know how many secrets the deity had, and acting rashly would only hurt himself.How many causes and how many effects.Yan Liang can distinguish cause and effect, but he cannot predict the consequences of the actions he is about to commit.

How much history has proved that secrets are always secrets and are the safest.

"Guess." Yan Liang said.

"Then why do you guess it's King Shun?" Qi Shengao asked.

"You have to choose one of the two. Since it's not King Shun, then only King Kang is left." Yan Liang turned to ask Qi Shengao, "A while ago I said that Wu Min was abnormal, can you send someone to check if he is?"

"Him? What's there to investigate? Naturally, he colluded with Lord Kang." Qi Shengao sneered, and said this with a relaxed tone, as if he had just yelled 'it's time to eat'.

Yan Liang was secretly startled, guessing that Qi Shengao had planned it long ago.He didn't intend to ask too much, he didn't want to participate in these various conspiracies of the imperial court.If he is not careful, he will incur a life debt for himself, and he will never pay it off in his life.

Yan Liang stopped talking, blew on the hot tea in his hand, and sipped it one sip at a time.

Qi Shen raised his eyebrows, looked at Yan Liang in wonder, and said with a light smile, "You are amazing, you can still hold your breath."

"It's none of your business, hang it high." Yan Liang smiled slightly at him.

Qi Shengao even found it funny, "It's none of your business? This boy died in your house for no reason, and you still think it has nothing to do with you?"

"He himself is willing to send him to his door to die. What can I do? Besides, I don't have any secrets to hide, so I reported it to the official." Yan Liang replied.

Qi Shengao smiled, looked at Yan Liang secretly, and said nothing more.

Not long after, someone came to report that Lin Ruhai was coming.

Lin Ruhai brought Wu Zuo and the yamen servant into the door, and he was startled when he saw the corpse on the ground.

Lin Ruhai urged Wu Zuo to do an autopsy quickly and bring the corpse into the Yamen as soon as possible.He went into the inner room with the documents and asked Yan Liang what happened.After the records are detailed, Yan Liang signs and pledges, and the matter is over.

Lin Ruhai was naturally curious about the origin of the dead boy, Yan Liang said he didn't know, and Qi Shengao also pretended to be confused.

Lin Ruhai felt even more strange because of this, "He suddenly came to the door under the guise of Master Qi, where is he trying to trick you?"

Yan Liang shook his head, "By the way, there is a carriage outside the door. If you have time, let your Fucheng take someone to inspect it and see if you can find any clues left."

Lin Ruhai agreed, but seeing that it was getting late, she planned to leave.

Qi Shengao stopped him, and said to Yan Liang: "It's this time, why go away, as the host, it's time to start your hospitality."

Yan Liang smiled helplessly and nodded, then sent someone to arrange a yard, "This place has just died, it's too unlucky, why don't you go to the Peach Blossom Garden, the peach blossoms are just in bloom at this time, it's not interesting to light up the lights at night to enjoy the flowers. "

"Then you have to prepare some good wine and food." Lin Ruhai sighed.

Qi Shengao was naturally blunt, and directly said that he likes to eat bad goose feet and duck letters, "You don't have to force anything, but you must have these two things."

"Your hobbies are very similar to my nephew Baoyu." Yan Liang sighed.

Qi Shen laughed loudly, "Is that the precious phoenix egg that was born with jade in the Rong Mansion?"

Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing, "Even you know this?"

"Lord Lin, you are ignorant. Everyone in the capital knew about his birth at the beginning, not only me, but everyone in the palace was talking about it." Qi Shen said loudly.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and drank the wine in his glass.

The three chattered and chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, the three of them went directly to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.The emperor was naturally suspicious, and asked Yan Liang many questions, especially about the assassin's real purpose, the emperor was very concerned.However, after asking several times, he saw that Yan Liang didn't seem to know, so he gave up.After the emperor ordered Lin Ruhai to investigate and solve the case as soon as possible, he asked Yan Liang and Lin Ruhai to retire first.Qi Shengao was left to discuss what to do.

Lin Ruhai felt that there must be something strange in it, so he pulled Yan Liang and asked secretly: "I always feel that there is something behind this incident?"

Yan Liang glanced at Lin Ruhai, "Think about your wife and daughter."

"In other words, there is really something." Lin Ruhai stared at Yan Liang.

Yan Liang smiled wryly and shook his head, "I really don't know about this matter, but I think the same as you, this matter must not be simple. But if you can avoid it, don't provoke it. I still want to live my life."

"Just you? When we parted last night, Qi Shengao asked me if the girl I found for you had any prospects. I told him what happened. Guess what he said, he said you have such a temperament Man, this life will be lonely forever.” Lin Ruhai glared at Yan Liang, and advised him not to ask too much and be so picky, just find a girl who is passing by, “There is a woman at home who likes you, misses you, and warms the bed for you , Help you housekeeper, what a wonderful thing, why can't you figure it out."

"Have you ever thought that you are going to marry a woman, which is exactly the opposite of these?"

Lin Ruhai was choked, and then glared at him, "Why can't you think better."

"Maybe it's because I've seen too many bad guys and seen them too thoroughly, so I can't get better." Yan Liang smiled slightly and told Lin Ruhai not to worry about him anymore. "Anyway, I have all my children and grandchildren, so why worry about it?"

"Your sister should worry about your daughter. Without a mother to raise her, it's not a solution after all."

"A child has a child's life, even if she is raised by an eldest mother, not everyone is good. If the family Yingchun finds in the future, if she is just judged by the worldly rules, it doesn't matter if she doesn't marry, I can support this girl for a lifetime." Yan Liang squinted at Lin Ruhai, and said proudly.

Lin Ruhai felt the same and nodded, "You have a good idea. In fact, I also want to support my daughters for the rest of my life. But we still have to leave them after all. What will happen to them when we leave."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You only need to be responsible for educating her well now. When she is sensible and capable, she will naturally take care of her own future. I advise you, don't think too much about yourself!"

"Hahaha..." Lin Ruhai twirled his beard and smiled, and suddenly remembered something, and mentioned it to Yan Liang, "If you are fine today, you can visit my house."

"Look at what?"

"A relative from a previous family came to seek refuge. They said they were direct relatives of our Lin family ancestors. My brother from my father's generation was sent to work in Guangdong and Guangxi. Later, there was civil unrest and he died. The two sons At that time, I went to my hometown Suzhou with my family and ran into bandits on the way. They were robbed. The eldest was ill and died on the way. The second was taken in by the local farmers and became a son-in-law. In this generation, only A pair of mother and son. The mother and son fled to Beijing, and when they heard of my name, they came to the Lin Mansion to seek refuge, begging for the sake of the same clan, to give their mother and son a job and a good meal."

"How do you know they are from the same clan?" Yan Liang asked.

"This woman also found out the letter left by the old man at home after her husband passed away. After asking someone to read it, she found out that they are descendants of a wealthy family. I have read the letter. The content mentioned in the letter is Some of the past, as well as the environment and furnishings of the home, are indeed very similar to our Lin family's old house in Suzhou." Lin Ruhai explained.

"How old is the child?"

Lin Ruhai stretched out five fingers.

"It's the right thing to tell you to do good deeds," Yan Liang said with a smile, "This is a good deed."

"I just don't know if what the mother and son said is true, and I need you to help me look at the photo." Lin Ruhai whispered to Yan Liang.

Yan Liang nodded, letting Lin Ruhai lead the way.When they arrived at Lin's mansion, the mother-in-law led a mother and son in.Lin Ruhai looked at the clothes of the mother and son, they were both wearing brocade, obviously Lin Ruhai didn't treat them harshly.Both mother and son are a little shy of strangers, with thin bodies and rough and dark skin, it seems that they have indeed suffered a lot.

Lin Ruhai smiled and introduced the mother and son to Yan Liang, "Lin Liu, his son Lin Mumao."

"Lin Mumao, that's a nice name." Yan Liang sighed.

The child was still very scared, and after repeated urging from his mother, Lin Liushi, he dared to stand up and salute the rich and handsome old man in front of him.

Yan Liang praised him for being well-behaved, and received the greeting gift that he had prepared earlier from Wu Qiumao, and went up to him.

Lin Mumao didn't know the rules yet, so he couldn't help opening the things after picking them up.Lin Liu took a quick look, and found a piece of emerald-green jade pendant and many golden melon seeds inside.She hurriedly hugged the child and thanked Yan Liang happily.When she was done, she held on to the brocade purse and refused to give it to the child, for fear that the child would damage the precious things inside.

Lin Ruhai felt a little embarrassed about Lin Liu's mother and son's disrespect in front of Yan Liang.He coughed twice in embarrassment, and then sent someone to take Lin Liu's mother and son down first, and then Lin Ruhai couldn't wait to ask Yan Liang how the mother and son were doing.
