Chapter 602 This is the Mandate of Heaven!
  "Lin Gong is not dead yet, he is in my hands!"

Fan Xian's words were like a huge stone, slamming into Lin Ruofu's heart that had just calmed down.

His pupils shrank suddenly, the hand on the desk suddenly clenched into a fist, and he stared at the handsome young man opposite the desk.

After a long time, he finally digested the information revealed by Fan Xian and said slowly: "You didn't lie to me?"

Fan Xian said seriously: "It's absolutely not false."

Lin Ruofu asked expressionlessly: "Where is Gong'er now?"

Fan Xian said calmly: "In Fan Mansion, my people just knocked him out, and his life was not seriously affected."

Lin Ruofu said coldly: "Is there any torture to extract a confession?"

Fan Xian wondered: "There is no information about the second young master that I want, so why should I execute him?"

Lin Ruofu looked at Fan Xian intently for a while, then suddenly raised the corner of his mouth and shook his head with emotion.

"What a young man!"

"It's really hidden!"

Fan Xian smiled and cupped his hands: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are so complimentary!"

Lin Ruofu glanced at him and said: "We have already shown our cards, so don't be so humble. Since you chose to tell this matter, you must be planning to return Gong'er to me, right?"

Fan Xian smiled and said, "That depends on the prime minister's attitude."

Lin Ruofu shook his head and said: "I don't care, but aren't you afraid that Gong'er will hold a grudge?"

Fan Xian smiled and said, "As long as you are here, I won't be afraid."

Lin Ruofu raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Fan Xian smiled and said, "For the future of the Prime Minister's Office, you will convince the Second Young Master for me."

Lin Ruofu looked at him deeply, and suddenly changed the topic: "Why is Gong'er in your hands?"

Fan Xian sighed and said, "It's a long story. After Si Lili was escorted back to Beijing by the Supervisory Yuan, I went to the Tianlao for interrogation in person and got Wu Bo'an's name from her mouth. Then, I sent people to investigate Wu Boan, found the manor on the outskirts of Kyoto."

"I originally wanted to make a long-term plan, but a few of my friends with strong martial arts skills couldn't bear to take this breath. They went to the manor without telling me, knocked out the second young master, brought them back, and handed him over to me."

"What a coincidence, not long after they left, a meteorite fell from the sky and leveled the manor."

"Fortunately, my friends ran fast, otherwise, I'm afraid they would have gone to hell with the second young master..."

Having said this, Fan Xian had a sad look on his face, as if he was really surprised by this.

Lin Ruofu stared into Fan Xian's eyes, and after a long time he suddenly said: "So, you saved Gong'er, I still have to thank you?"

Fan Xian said quickly: "No, forget this word of thanks, as long as you don't blame me."

"...What about Wu Bo'an?"

"already dead."

"Are the guards around Longer also dead?"

"I don't know about this, but judging from your appearance, they probably didn't survive the natural disaster caused by the meteorite falling from the sky."

Looking at Fan Xian's sincere face, Lin Ruofu gently raised his hand and stroked his beard a few times.

The atmosphere in the study fell into silence.

After a while, Lin Ruofu said slowly: "Return Gong'er to me and let this matter go. I will not let him cause you any more trouble, and your marriage with Wan'er will not be troubled again."

Fan Xian smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Then I won't cause trouble for the second young master anymore. Your family and I will get back together and we will be in harmony. If there is any matter, sitting down and talking about it like this is better than fighting swords against each other." So much~"

Lin Ruofu looked at Fan Xian deeply and suddenly laughed.

"Okay, okay, what a good Fan Xian, Gong'er won't complain if he loses!"

"Then the prime minister just agreed?"

"I agreed." Lin Ruofu waved his sleeves, "Send Gong'er back before tonight. I will never go back on all the promises I made before."

Fan Xian immediately stood up, bowed his hands and said with a smile, "Then my son-in-law will take his leave first."

Lin Ruofu waved his hand and said: "Go!"

Fan Xian turned around with a smile and left the Prime Minister's study.

……

……

As waves of pain came, Lin Gong woke up faintly, covering his head and looking blankly at the familiar scenes around him.

"you're awake?"

A cold voice came from the front, waking Lin Gong from his daze.

He suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Lin Ruofu behind the desk in surprise.

"Father!"

"I...I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Hearing Lin Gong's usual words, Lin Ruofu showed a smile in his eyes, but his face was still cold, and he grabbed the pen holder and smashed it.

Lin Gong was startled and did not dare to dodge. He could only bear the blow forcefully, and then knelt on the ground to pick up the scattered brushes.

Lin Ruofu stood behind the desk with his hands behind his back, looking at his son and said calmly: "Do you know why I hit you?"

Lin Gong held the pen holder and lowered his head: "I know, because Mr. Wu and I went against your wishes and planned in private..."

"You still call him Mr. Wu!" Lin Ruofu was so angry that he picked up the ink ingot and smashed it over. He said coldly, "Sir, please tell me in detail what happened before you fell into coma." "Yes... ...Yes, Father."

Lin Gong had always respected and admired his father, so when he was hit by Lin Ruofu, he was naturally frightened. He quickly interrupted his previous words and began to talk about what happened before he fell into coma.

In his narration, the first half of the story was exactly the same as Lin Ruofu's guess.

It wasn't until the appearance of Yamu and Wuzhu that Lin Ruofu's eyes lit up.

"...Those two were so skilled in martial arts that all the guards around me were no match for them. They penetrated the manor's defenses and came to me and Mr. Wu...Wu Bo'an from the front."

"and then?"

"Then my son was knocked unconscious."

Lin Ruofu nodded slightly: "Well, it's exactly the same as what Fan Xian said."

Hearing his father's murmur, Lin Gong froze immediately.

"Dad, what did you say, Fan Xian?!"

"Hmph!" Lin Ruofu snorted coldly, glanced at Lin Gong and said, "Do you know who sent you back?"

"...Is it Fan Xian?!"

"Not so stupid."

Lin Ruofu glanced at him indifferently, then walked out from behind the desk, came to the window, looked to the southeast and said lightly: "Fan Xian asked Wu Bo'an's name from Si Lili, and then some masters went to your manor to kill him. Wu Boan, by the way, I knocked you out and brought you back."

"...are those two people? Were they ordered by Fan Xian?"

Lin Gong said with disbelief on his face.

Lin Ruofu stood in front of the window, glanced at him and said, "That's not the key. The key is that after you were knocked unconscious and taken away, a meteorite fell from the sky and completely destroyed the manor in your name."

Hearing these words, Lin Gong couldn't help but froze.

"...Father, what are you talking about?"

"Don't believe it?" Lin Ruofu turned around and said with a sneer, "I didn't believe it at first, so I asked your Uncle Yuan to take a look."

With that said, Lin Ruofu took out a picture scroll from his sleeve robe and threw it to Lin Gong.

"This is the scroll drawn by your Uncle Yuan. Take a look for yourself!"

"..."

Lin Gong quickly picked it up and spread it out, with a shocked look on his face.

Lin Ruofu turned around again, looked at the scenery outside the window and said quietly: "Fan Xian sent people to your manor, knocked you unconscious and took you away. This was an unreasonable and reckless move. If it leaves traces, it will be monitored The court discovered that my father could even bite back and make Fan Xian severely punished by His Majesty."

At this point, Lin Ruofu sighed softly, looked at the sky in awe, and sighed: "But who would have thought that just a meteorite would turn everything into dust. If Fan Xian hadn't come to the door in person to talk to his father, As a father, I am still kept in the dark, so I never thought that you would be in Fan Xian's hands."

With that said, Lin Ruofu turned around again, looked into Lin Gong's eyes steadily and said.

"Do you know what that means?"

"what?"

Lin Gong asked subconsciously.

Lin Ruofu sighed: "Destiny!"

Lin Gong said in a daze: "Destiny?"

Lin Ruofu sighed: "Yes, in this world, if you want to accomplish great things, power, life experience, money, and means are all extremely important, but there is one thing that can destroy everything in front of it. , that is destiny!”

"Gong'er, you were born too late and have never seen His Majesty look like a dragon."

"At that time, His Majesty was only Prince Cheng's son, and Prince Cheng was weak by nature. The power of Prince Cheng's palace was also the weakest among all the princes."

"Therefore, even though His Majesty is talented and full of ambitions, in the chaotic situation when the emperor died without leaving any edicts, he had no choice but to withdraw from the capital together with the late emperor to save his own life."

"Under such circumstances, guess how His Majesty reversed this situation?"

Lin Gong admired Emperor Qing no less than his father, the prime minister, and immediately said without hesitation: "That must be your majesty's great talent and strategy, using retreat to advance, secretly accumulating strength, and slowly planning for it!"

"Ah!"

Lin Ruofu couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head under Lin Gong's doubtful gaze.

"If it hadn't happened this time, I would definitely tell you this."

"But now, I want to tell you the truth - Your Majesty was able to ascend the throne only because of good luck!"

"...Good luck?" Lin Gong said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"

"Don't believe it?"

Lin Ruofu glanced at him and said calmly: "Then let me tell you!"

"That night, dark clouds gathered, and two deafening thunders sounded in Kyoto. After the thunder, the two princes who had the best chance of winning the throne died. The death was so tragic that it can only be described as heavenly punishment."

"There were only three princes in the court at that time. After two died, there was no need to fight anymore."

"So, the late emperor, who had always been cowardly, was inexplicably pushed to the throne of emperor, and his majesty also transformed from the neglected Crown Prince Cheng to the dignified Crown Prince of Qing."

"...This is what I call destiny!"

Lin Ruofu told the truth eloquently.

Lin Gong was stunned when he heard this, his face full of shock.

Lin Ruofu glanced at him, waved his sleeves and said, "Don't cause trouble for Fan Xian in the future. He has destiny, and with God's help, everything will go smoothly. You can't fight him."
