It was night, in the main hall of the Lin Mansion, several people were sitting around the table sharing dinner.
It wasn't until he was almost done eating that Lin Zhiyu arrived late.
Seeing that he was still wearing official uniform, Lin Ruqian was very surprised, "Brother, is there a lot of official business today? Why are you coming back now?"
"It's a long story." After Lin Zhiyu took a breath, he put the man in front of him After drinking the tea, he said, "The prince made an appointment with me today."
Lin Qiming heard this and waved all the servants around him to retreat.
"Do you still remember the former Minister of Civil Affairs, Mr. Gao?" Lin Zhiyu paused.
Lin Mobai pondered: "Wasn't he beheaded in public?"
Lin Zhiyu curled his lips and nodded, "Indeed, but before he died, he left a lot of good things, although it may not be enough to shake the court. "If you want to completely eradicate the Prime Minister
's Mansion, you will have to build a very hidden prison to be able to hit it with one hit!"
"Brother, you better not say that !" "No, I don't understand at all." Lin Ruqian slumped on the table, "I'll leave this to you. I just need to run my shop well."
"Indeed," Lin Mobai said. He nodded and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the plate of fish in front of him, "If you need to wield a sword or a gun, I still have a place to use it."
"You guys!" Lin Zhiyu smiled helplessly, "Then Okay, I'll just go to dad's study to discuss it later."
Lin Qiming nodded.
"Why don't you see Bao'er?" Lin Zhiyu realized it and looked around.
Shen Xuelan removed the fish meat that Lin Mobai had pinched off, and put the fish meat into his bowl again. "Bao'er fell asleep, so Qinglian watched him and didn't carry him over."
At this time, Lin Zhiyu just said Realizing that something was wrong with Lin Mobai, he stared at Lin Mobai's trembling hands, a little surprised, "What's wrong with my second brother?"
Lin Mobai was at a loss for words.
Just because of the yellow grass he tried in the afternoon, his right hand was a little numb, and it didn't get better in a short time, so he could only deal with it in such a sloppy way.
"Chehuangcao." He sighed.
Lin Zhiyu suddenly realized and looked at him with some pity, "Then you'd better not go out of the house these days. This season is the worst for you."
"Second brother's illness is really recurring. Lin Ruqian glanced at his hand, and the dense redness made his skin crawl. "Is there really no way to completely cure it?"
Lin Mobai couldn't help but glance at Shen Xuelan, and finally said the words. Swallowed.
It is better to wait until you are completely healed before telling them, lest you rejoice prematurely but end up with unsatisfactory results.
When he had an allergic reaction to plantain grass, the government doctors did not stop researching ways to suppress the disease. He also tried many methods and remedies, but none of them were successful, which also made him Thoroughly disappointed.
So even though he later discovered that Lin Baoer's medicine might be useful to him, Lin Mobai still didn't completely believe it in his heart.
"Okay, shut your mouth." Shen Xuelan knocked Lin Ruqian's head angrily, her eyes full of blame. Lin Ruqian also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he pursed his lips and said nothing again.
"But I have to go out tomorrow. There will be a martial arts competition in the army tomorrow. I promised Brother Ying from the beginning to cheer him up, and I can't break my promise." Lin Mobai said.
Ying Ru was originally a soldier under Lin Qiming's command. After Lin Qiming handed over his military power during the border peace, he took the initiative to be transferred back to Yanjing City, and now he has become the deputy commander of the army.
And because of this, Lin Mobai had a close relationship with Ying Ru, and often went to and from the army.
"But..." Shen Xuelan was a little worried.
"What's this?!" Lin Qiming interrupted her and raised his eyebrows, "How can a dignified man of seven feet be so worried? It's been fine in the past few years, is it possible that he won't be able to survive tomorrow? Just pay more attention then. , If it doesn't work, you can take Lao Zhang with you. He should have already missed his brothers in the army and will definitely be willing to go with you. "
" Yes," Lin Mobai agreed, finally with a smile in his eyes. meaning.
After dinner, Lin Zhiyu came to Lin Qiming's study as promised. Lin Qiming had been waiting for him inside for a long time.
"Are you and the prince planning to invite you to the urn?" Lin Qiming asked as if he had expected it, which shocked Lin Zhiyu.
"Father, how do you know?"
Lin Qiming hummed, stroking his beard, and returned to sit next to the case. "I don't know about you, kid. Isn't it just because of Gao Xin that you have been out early and come back late these days? Although he was beheaded, In public, the Gao family is not dead yet. No matter how stupid he is, Gao Xin can probably guess that all this was planned by Shen Qianzhuo, and he just became the scapegoat." "
So. There must be evidence of Shen Qianzhuo's buying and selling of official positions and accepting bribes in the hands of the Gao family. Has there been any movement in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently?"
Lin Zhiyu nodded: "Indeed, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been sending people to inquire about the exiled Gao family recently ? The prince was aware of this, so he came to look for me today."
"Then did you gain anything?"
Lin Zhiyu shook his head: "No, the Gao family was hiding deep enough to be found. Almost all of them were killed by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we didn't find any clues about the rest, but... I sent people to secretly monitor Yuan's every move, and I found that there might be something abnormal about her."
"You can check it out. If you arrive, the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely find out, and Shen Qian will not let this opportunity go." Lin Qiming stood up and paced back and forth, thinking, "Since you want to invite the prince to the urn, you might as well take advantage of this matter. All those who share the same blood with him were dragged into this muddy water!"
"Do you still remember Chang Dutong in the Kyoto Army?"
Lin Zhiyu was surprised, "Dad, you want to..."
Lin Qiming nodded, " He has always been in close contact with Shen Qianzhuo, and he must have helped in the arrest. Tomorrow happens to be the martial arts competition, so let Merber take the opportunity to investigate. If Shen Qianzhuo really finds out something, Chang Dutong will definitely do it. Know something."
"Not only that, we also need the prince's help. Among the officials who interact with Shen Qianzhuo, the prince is the most suitable. We can help him."
"But remember, don't expose Shen Qianzhuo's cunning. Very, since he wants to use our Lin family to become the stepping stone for the third prince, then his ambition does not stop there. Recently, the Jiangnan tax case has been assigned to the Ministry of Revenue. You should take this opportunity to pay attention to it. "
I have to say, if. If Lin Baoer were here, he would definitely admire his father for being so resourceful. With just a few pieces of information, he could guess everything and even control the overall situation as quickly as possible.
