in the room.
The incense was smoked all night, and a few cups of strong tea were changed, but Lin Xiyu and her daughter still couldn't figure out how to lure Lin Zisu out. There is no life left.
Lin Xiyu saw that the strong tea in the cup was finished, and she was sleepy and planned to ask someone to pour another cup, but she didn't know that the maid Yuan'er came in quickly from outside.
"It's just in time, pour me tea..." Lin Xiyu propped her forehead and said.
Yuan'er pursed her lips, walked up to her with a soft smile, and said in a low voice: "Miss, just now when the servant went out, I saw Miss Si fainted outside our yard, and the servant has already been quietly carried back to your room." .”
"Really?" Lin Xiyu sat up straight at once, and woke up after dozing off.
Yuan'er nodded hastily; "How dare this servant lie to you, go and have a look."
Lin Xiyu looked at the eldest lady in surprise, and said what she said, but the eldest lady hesitated: "How could it be such a coincidence? Is there any trap?"
"If there is any trap, let's be careful when we do it, and we will never let anyone find out." Lin Xiyu said anxiously, she wished she could immediately pull Lin Zisu from the position of Princess Jing, otherwise she would still be the eldest sister every day. It is aggrieved to follow the rules to salute and greet her.
"But……"
"Oh my mother, this is our best chance. Lin Zisu is so ruthless now, if she wakes up and thinks that we knocked her out, why don't we also be dragged into the fire pit?" Lin Xiyu hurriedly said.
The eldest lady thought about it, and really felt that there was not much time, so she just looked at the woman beside her: "The person who asked you to prepare, has he ever been ready?"
The mother-in-law hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, ma'am, that man is the man who did that mediocre thing with Miss Fourth on the street that day. He has a problem with his brain and he only likes to pick on women, especially Miss Fourth. Don't you want to go crazy?"
The eldest lady gave her a satisfied look, then she got up in peace and took a few people with her.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the quiet capital began to be lively again. Storytellers walking around the streets and alleys organized the affairs of the Lin family into stories. The most glamorous ones were naturally Lin Zisu and her mother Ye Shi. a paragraph.
Zhao Kan came out on purpose today, intending to see Lin Jinhua. If she was willing to ask herself, then it would be the best, but when she passed by the storyteller, she would be ashamed.
Seeing this, the guard at the side asked people to stop the carriage, and quietly asked beside him, "Your Majesty, do you want to deal with it?"
"Ah."
"No." Xiong Shuli said from the side.
Zhao Kan was puzzled: "Could it be that uncle lets these troublemakers spread these things indiscriminately?"
Xiong Shuli shook his head: "This matter has already spread, what's the use of killing a person, Your Highness? Instead, it will attract people's discussion, so it's better to wait a little longer." He remembered that when the emperor was in court this morning, most of the affairs that the emperor should have managed by himself were taken care of. When it was handed over to Zhao Huaiyan, he felt that the emperor must have reached a condition with Zhao Huaiyan and would not take the initiative to attack the Lin family, so Zhao Kan had to be more careful in his actions in the future.
Zhao Kan raised the curtain of the car and looked at the tea shed. The storyteller's spittle was flying everywhere, but the people below were fascinated by it. When it came to those eclectic scenes, the people below showed a wretched look.The more he looked, the more angry he became, his face turned ashen, and he let the carriage go forward.
The carriage goes to Lin's mansion and passes through Dingnanhou's mansion.
Zhao Kan usually didn't pay attention. When he was leaving today, there was a lot of noise outside the carriage. Because of the storyteller's incident, he was unhappy and asked dissatisfiedly, "What's going on outside?"
"It seems that Master Huijue, who has become famous in the capital recently, set up an altar at the gate of the Hou's Mansion." Someone said outside.
Zhao Kan's face became more and more cold: "The Marquis of Dingnan is also crazy, he actually believes in these monster monks..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard that Huijue outside had stopped singing, and looked in the direction of the Lin residence with serious eyes.
Madam Hou was sitting at the back, seeing this, she hurriedly asked: "Master, what's the matter?"
"A catastrophe from heaven is causing trouble again, catastrophe, catastrophe!" He sighed loudly.
The onlookers were taken aback, and some couldn't help asking: "Master, who is the disaster star? What's the matter?"
Huijue recited Amitabha again, then shook his head and only sighed: "This poor monk said long ago that she used to only restrain her family, but now her demonic power is getting stronger and stronger, and now she wants to restrain the stomach of Mrs. Hou." Young master, in the future, we will still suppress the common people and endanger the country!"
"Nonsense." In the carriage, Zhao Kan said something in a low voice, but suddenly it became quiet outside.
Xiong Shuli felt strange, opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that Huijue was actually looking towards their carriage.
He frowned slightly, and said to Zhao Kan, "Your Highness, I'm afraid we have to get off the carriage."
"Playing tricks, what are you doing with him? Dispel the people in front and go directly to the Lin residence." He said disdainfully.
The guards outside obeyed the order, and immediately stepped forward to open the way, and the carriage also ran quickly.
As soon as the carriage left, Huijue shook his head again, and said with great regret: "This demon girl disaster star is the current Princess Jing! And according to the secrets that the poor monk peeped out, not only did she not change her thieves this time, she also You have committed the crime of killing your father!"
"What?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise and began to discuss in low voices.
Madam Hou also turned down her face and asked, "Master, is what you said true?"
Huijue looked at her seriously and nodded: "Ma'am, monks don't lie. And because of this demon girl who harmed the country, His Royal Highness King Jing will also be implicated by her. After half a month, a large number of epidemic diseases may break out in the capital, causing countless casualties!"
When people heard that Lin Zisu was just a catastrophe who killed his father, they still thought it was someone else's business, but now they all became nervous when they heard this.
"Master, is there any other way to resolve it?" Someone asked.
Huijue shook his head helplessly, and bowed to the crowd: "The poor monk's qualifications are shallow, and he has lost ten years of life to be able to spy on these things. There is really nothing he can do, unless the disaster star disappears, and His Royal Highness King Jing can retreat for a year for the people of Liming. "He quietly changed Lin Jinhua's rhetoric quite a bit, fearing that in half a month's time the matter would fail, and he would offend King Jing for no reason, and now that it was like this, he was not considered as having failed to complete the task.
Seeing that he was serious, Mrs. Hou didn't dare to have doubts, she immediately ordered someone to quietly pull him into the mansion, and said in a low voice: "Master, you may think of a way to keep my child?"
Huijue rolled his eyes, thinking of Lin Jinhua's threat to him yesterday, he felt a little lucky, and said, "Madam, why don't you ask the seventh lady of the Lin family to try, the seventh lady is blessed, maybe it can work."
"Lin Jinhua..." Mrs. Hou frowned. How could she not have heard about the Lin family's affairs, and she would definitely not be able to invite her now unless the Lin family's affairs were resolved.She paused, then looked at Huijue: "Then please ask Master to recite scriptures and pray for my son in the mansion."
Huijue naturally responded.
After Madam Hou finished speaking, she hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and go to Lin's mansion.
Lin Jinhua just arrived in Lin Jincheng's courtyard wing room, and glanced at the two people who had been tossed on the ground, half dead but not dead. She, the wild dog has been taken out, but the two of them faintly heard the dog barking, and their whole bodies froze.
Only then did Lin Jinhua ask someone to move a stool to sit on one side, and asked them calmly, "Can we talk now?"
Mo Xue stepped forward to pick up one of the people's chin, poured him another sip of tea, and said reluctantly: "If I don't tell you, will you kill me directly?"
Lin Jinhua raised the corners of her lips slightly: "I will make the second half of your birthday like this day and night, but I may occasionally change places for you, such as on the street, in front of your family, or in front of the woman you admire..."
"You..." He grimaced, and the attendant who was leading the dog immediately took a step forward, then he gritted his teeth and said, "I can tell you."
He just said a word, and the people next to him began to shake their heads to indicate that he could not speak.
Lin Jinhua looked at the attendant next to him. The attendant understood and had already dragged him into the inner room.
Only then did the man say: "We are all young people, we obeyed the leader's arrangement. After killing Lin Wei, the leader ran away."
"Where is the leader?"
"It's hidden in the basement in the western suburbs, where forty or fifty dead soldiers like me have been trained." He said in detail, now he doesn't ask for a way to survive, he just wants to die quickly.
"That is to say, my father and brother didn't instruct you to kill Lin Wei, but? And what you slandered them yesterday was also deliberately instigated." Lin Jinyu said coldly.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Lin Jinhua's cold eyes, and was also a little puzzled. How could a teenage girl have such eyes? Could it be that he was trained like himself?
"Yes. But I don't know who it is, and I don't know more. But one thing, even if I die, I will not testify in court." He gritted his teeth.I have never seen the light in my life, and I don't want to see the light when I die.
Lin Jinhua didn't make things difficult for him anymore, she raised her hand and let the people below carry it out.
The attendant at the side was puzzled: "Miss Seven, why is this so, why not..."
"Take someone to encircle and suppress the remaining dead soldiers immediately. Do you have any arrows from Kongqueling?" Lin Wei must be Zhao Kan and Concubine De. If the assassin is killed now, the government will naturally track him down. Not in the capital, and she is just a weak woman, the government can't find them anyway, but might take the opportunity to find out Zhao Kan and Concubine De.
The attendant paused, and immediately felt sorry for it: "Your subordinate will do it now."
After he led the people away, someone came forward and looked at her with a little admiration: "Miss Seven, my son ordered us to investigate the person who spread the rumors, and he was arrested quietly in the middle of the night, tortured in the middle of the night, now Everything was recruited, indeed someone ordered it, but it was not someone from King Jing’s Mansion, but Xiong Mao, the master of the Xiong family.”
"Xiong Shilin's father?" Lin Jinhua snorted softly, never thought that Xiong Shuli would actually push his cousin to take the blame, and that would be cruel enough.
"Yes, and they still have the bank notes given to them by Xiong Mao in their hands. The stubs of the tickets are clear. The subordinates have checked it. It is indeed in the name of Xiong Mao." The man said.
Lin Jinhua nodded: "That's very good, bring the person and the evidence, and follow me to Dali Temple to appeal for grievances."
"Miss, let's go there like this?" Mo Xue hesitated, such insufficient preparation made her hesitate.
Lin Jinhua paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of the exquisite kit on Master Yuan's waist yesterday, and smiled coldly: "I almost forgot... I remember Ye Ling said before that there is only one embroiderer in the capital who knows Suzhou embroidery? Yesterday, Master Yuan That purse is the most exquisite Su embroidery, and it is very new, and he still hangs it with him, so this embroiderer must be very important to him."
Mo Xue understood: "I'll go and investigate now, servant girl."
"ASAP."
"Yes." Mo Xue responded and quickly disappeared into the yard.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua didn't have time to go back to Luoxia Garden to change clothes, so she walked out of the mansion.
When the old lady's people saw her coming out, they hurriedly passed a wink in private, and asked someone to inform the old lady, while others stepped forward to stop her: "Miss Seven, the old lady ordered..."
"Whoever gets in the way, die." Lin Jinhua looked indifferently at the woman who was blocking the way.
The smirk on the mother-in-law's face froze, and she chuckled: "Miss Seven, the servants are also following orders, so don't make things difficult for the servants..."
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth curled up indifferently: "The third room was indeed too used to you in the past, making you unaware of the heights of heaven and earth." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand lightly, and Lin Jincheng's attendant stepped forward and kicked him away.
The mother-in-law fell to the ground and yelled, the others watched and tried to stop her, but they dared not.
Lin Jinhua glanced at them indifferently, and walked straight away.
As soon as she left, the woman glared at the others: "What are you still doing in a daze, and you haven't informed the old lady yet."
Lin Jinhua doesn't care about the old lady now, without her father, she is just a paper tiger.
She walked forward quickly, but before she stepped out of the gate of Lin's mansion, she saw the carriage of King Jing's mansion parked at the gate of Lin's mansion.
Zhao Kan raised the curtain of the carriage, saw her in a neat red dress, her expression was cold, her eyes were a little surprised, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised to look at her: "Want to go to Dali Temple? This king is just going to take you a ride."
"Thank you King Jing for your kindness. If men and women can't get married, the courtiers will go there by themselves in a carriage." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, a servant suddenly came to look at her anxiously: "Miss, it's not good, the stable suddenly caught fire, and the carriage was completely burnt out." gone."
Lin Jincheng frowned and stared at Zhao Kan coldly.
Zhao Kan didn't make any excuses, just smiled charmingly: "It's really a coincidence, but it's also our fate, Miss Seven, come up."
Lin Jinyu frowned slightly. It was getting late now, and if she didn't go to Dali Temple, the public trial would be held, and the old lady would come to pester her.
Thinking of this, she clenched her fist tightly and took two steps forward.
Seeing that people were coming, Zhao Kan raised his chin slightly. Such a beauty was sitting with him in a small carriage. I don't know how Zhao Huaiyan would feel when he saw this...
He slowly watched her approach step by step, and saw that she was about to step on the low stool and get into the carriage, but suddenly he heard the horse neighing, and then a man in a crescent-colored brocade robe came riding a big bay red horse, He stopped by Lin Jinhua's side and reached out to her, "Come up."
"Brother Emperor, you..."
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently: "Father ordered you to enter the palace immediately. This king will personally handle the matter of Dali Temple."
Lin Jinhua saw that there was a bit of coldness hidden between his brows, and gritted his silver teeth slightly. He turned around and grabbed his hand, but he was pulled forward by him, got on the horse and sat in front of him.
Zhao Kan was so angry that his lungs would explode: "Brother Dahuang, do you know that the imperial decree is false..."
"Prime Minister Xiong said what he said in the brochure he handed over in the middle of the night yesterday. Is it normal for the father to summon the third brother at this time?" Zhao Huaiyan stared at the carriageway.
Xiong Shuli inside heard the words, and then opened the curtain of the carriage, stepped out of the carriage and respectfully greeted him: "It seems that the prince has already found a way to solve the minister Zhezi."
Zhao Huaiyan gave him a cold look, and left quickly on his horse without saying a word.
Listening to the conversation between him and Xiong Shuli, Lin Jinhua always felt that something was wrong: "My lord, what happened?"
Zhao Huaiyan frowned slightly, held the rein tightly with one hand, and held her waist firmly with the other, and only whispered: "Trust me."
"Did the emperor have other thoughts about father?" In fact, she also knew that the kings of all dynasties were afraid of heroes, especially those who held a heavy army like father.
Seeing that she could think of it and didn't hide it, Zhao Huaiyan nodded.
"Is it about father's life?"
"I can keep my life." Zhao Huaiyan sighed slightly, before saying, "When you will be in prison in a while, don't get excited, just trust me."
She had been to the prison in Dali Temple, and it looked peaceful inside, but Zhao Huaiyan said that, could it be that Mr. Yuan couldn't help but make a move?
She was apprehensive, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she only gritted her teeth slightly, until the horse passed through countless alleys and finally stopped at the entrance of the cold Dali Temple.
The guards in front of the gate of Dali Temple today seemed to be extraordinarily energetic. When they saw someone coming, they immediately went in to report.
Lin Jinhua got off the horse and hurried to go in, Zhao Huaiyan raised her hand and pulled her behind, then stepped forward and said coldly: "This king is ordered by His Majesty to come here, and let the prime minister of Dali Temple come to see this king immediately!"
"Reporting to my lord, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple suddenly contracted a serious illness last night and died suddenly. Now Dali Temple is under the management of Lord Shaoqing for the time being." The guard said with a respectful smile.
Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were cold: "Then let him come."
There was a slight threat in his tone, but the attendant didn't seem to understand it, and said with a smile: "My lord, my subordinates have already sent someone to invite you, please wait a moment." He said he was waiting, but he was actually giving a tip-off, etc. The people inside make quick decisions.
"Let me wait?" Zhao Huaiyan took a step forward.
The attendant seemed not to be afraid, straightened his back to look at him, and stood in front of him deliberately: "My lord, the Dali Temple has the rules of the Dali Temple, and all the people in it are powerful officials, and even relatives of the emperor. Follow the rules..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan had already pulled out the imperial decree from his sleeve: "If you despise the Holy Majesty, you should be beheaded!" As soon as the words fell, the attendant saw that he pulled out the saber from his waist, and then he didn't see clearly what he was doing. As soon as he moved, he felt a pain in his neck, and then fell to the ground with a bang, staring at his eyes, twitched twice and then died.
The rest of the people watched, and the courage just now disappeared all of a sudden.
Zhao Huaiyan took a step forward, and they took a step back until Zhao Huaiyan entered the Dali Temple and reached the gate of the prison.
The prisons in Dali Temple are divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Death row inmates are locked up in Tianzi, and ordinary prisoners are locked in Huangzi. But when Lin Jinhua saw that he was going straight to Tianzi, he clenched his hands tightly.
The last time he was slandered for treason, he was only locked up in a local prison, but this time he was locked up in death row for an unconclusive murder, which shows how eager the people behind him are to get rid of his father and brother.
Walking to a dark place around the corner, Zhao Huaiyan slowed down, looked at her who was following closely behind, and whispered, "Are you afraid?"
Lin Jinhua clenched her slightly trembling palms: "I don't want to watch the mistakes of my previous life happen again." She was thinking about how to deal with it for a while, when he held her hand in a warm palm: "Trust me."
Lin Jinhua's eyes were slightly wet, her throat was a little sore, and she didn't speak.
After walking a few steps forward, Lord Yuan hastily brought people over to meet him. Seeing Zhao Huaiyan, he immediately greeted him respectfully: "My lord is here, I'm sorry for being too far away to welcome you, lord, please forgive me."
"This king was ordered to monitor Master Lin's matter. It's getting late. Master Yuan, you can start the trial." Zhao Huaiyan said coldly.
Master Yuan's complexion tightened slightly, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "The evidence is not yet sufficient, I'm afraid we will have to wait another day or two..."
With the faint candlelight in the cell, Lin Jinhua vaguely saw the blood stained on his sleeve, and looked at him coldly: "Your Excellency can't find all the evidence, but my servant has almost found it. If your Excellency doesn't try it, then my servant will be here now." If you want to complain, can your lord open the court?"
Mr. Yuan knew that Lin Jinhua was difficult to deal with. Seeing that Mrs. Lin didn't keep her eyes on him, she frowned secretly and wanted to refuse, but Lin Jinhua stepped forward and pushed him away and ran forward.
"Stop her!" Master Yuan shouted anxiously, but Zhao Huaiyan snorted: "I see who dares to stop my king!"
Master Yuan was stunned, this Prince Ning really cared about Miss Lin so much?
He secretly thought it was bad, and hurriedly chased after him, but found that it was still too late, Lin Jinhua had already seen everything.
Lin Jinhua looked at her father who was tied to the cross pillar in front of her. The bones of the pipa had been pierced by the iron chain, her hair was in a mess, her previously determined face was full of paleness and disappointment, and only the white clothes left on her body were already stained with blood. , the whip on the ground beside him was already soaked with dazzling blood.
Seeing her coming, Lin Luzhi felt a little distressed, opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak a word, so he could only tell her with his mouth, let her go quickly.
Lin Jinhua's whole body seemed to be numb, she couldn't move at all, until Zhao Huaiyan called her softly, she finally came back to her senses, tears were streaming down her face at some point.
She turned her head to look at Master Yuan, looked at his thin but ruthless face, and asked in a trembling voice: "My lord, the crime of murder has not yet been determined, how dare you lynch such a dignified general!"
Master Yuan looked at her in surprise, and then at Zhao Huaiyan. Hasn't King Ning told her yet?
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he knew: "Miss Lin, you don't know that the Prime Minister used his official position as a guarantee early this morning to expose Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng's conspiracy to treason. As for killing Lin Wei, it was also because of Lin Wei and The prime minister exposed the matter, so their father and son could not wait to kill. This is a crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Last time, their father and son escaped by chance, but now they have the official position of the prime minister as a guarantee. It is no small matter, my official We have to take it seriously and use torture!"
With sour eyes, Lin Jinhua turned to look at Zhao Huaiyan.
Zhao Huaiyan frowned slightly, he only found out about this early in the morning, but his father must have known about it last night, and he allowed Master Yuan to execute the sentence, but he didn't make an explicit order.
Lin Jinhua tightly clenched her fists, closed her eyes and deeply suppressed the roiling killing intent in her heart, and then looked at Master Yuan: "The court lady also has evidence in her hands, if you want to seek justice, please open the trial with Your Excellency and His Highness King Ning!"
Seeing that she was so unfamiliar, Zhao Huaiyan felt even more distressed, and said coldly: "Open the hall!"
"But……"
"Could it be possible that Lord Yuan is waiting for King Jing and Prime Minister to come over? King Jing has already entered the palace, and Prime Minister should have arrived at Dali Temple by now." He said coldly.
After Master Yuan heard this, he hurriedly asked Lin Luzhi to untie his iron chain, but the one with the lute bone on his shoulder couldn't be undone. The long iron chain was dragged on the ground, and every step would be painful.
When Lin Luzhi was taken away, Lin Jincheng was also brought out, both wearing pipa bones and covered in blood.But he was a little better, and he could still talk. When he saw Lin Jinhua, he stopped and said worriedly, "Jinhua, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back this time. Listen to your brother, go to Xu's house, and don't come to the capital again."
The servant next to him was impatient and wanted to push him, but Lin Jinhua grabbed his wrist.
The clerk was stunned, wondering why she had such great strength, and just about to raise her hand to push her away, Zhao Huaiyan kicked her and fell to the ground.
"Is she something you can touch?" Zhao Huaiyan stood in front of Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua only turned her head to look at Lin Jincheng: "Don't worry, brother, I was careless this time, and I will never let anything happen to you." She made a big mistake in her previous life, and it will never happen again in this life!
Seeing her determined eyes, Lin Jincheng wanted to persuade her again, but Zhao Huaiyan also came over: "Don't worry."
Lin Jincheng glanced at him gratefully, and then reluctantly walked forward.
The courtroom of Dali Temple was more gloomy and colder than that of Jingzhao Mansion. Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng just came over, and they were forced to kneel on the ground.
Xiong Shuli had already sat in front, cast a cold glance at the people below, snorted with a sneer, and said nothing.
Master Yuan sat in the middle, Zhao Huaiyan sat on the side, the gavel slapped, and the trial began.
"Lin Luzhi, Lin Jincheng, now the evidence is convincing. You communicated with the enemy country and betrayed our country's important military information, which is already treason. Now you are killing your brother Lin Wei who tipped off the news in public. It is really rampant. Don't you admit it? !” Master Yuan scolded, it seemed like a trial, but he was convicted.
Lin Luzhi looked at him with a hoarse voice, then looked at Xiong Shuli, his back was straight: "I, Lin Luzhi, have been fighting for decades for my family. I don't care about my wife and children, I don't care about family affairs, and I just devote myself to the border. I have escaped from death several times but never complained, and dare to say that I am worthy of the Holy Majesty and my people!"
"What a worthy sage, worthy of the common people. But Lin Luzhi, do you think you can overcome the ironclad evidence with just a few words? You should stop doing unnecessary struggles, lest more people be involved, isn't the gain outweighed the loss? Xiong Shuli looked at Lin Jinhua who was on the side ironically, and said.
When Lin Luzhi heard the words, his tone faltered.
Just as he was finishing speaking, it was said that Mrs. Lin had arrived.
Master Yuan and Xiong Shuli exchanged glances, and immediately invited him over.
As soon as the old lady came over, she didn't even look at the people on the ground. She knelt on the ground and began to cry: "Please be the master for the old lady. You must kill these two ruthless beasts!"
Lin Jinhua's expression darkened: "Grandmother doesn't want to catch the real murderer..."
"You are the real murderers! Lin Jinhua, don't think I don't know, you are also with them, and you are not a good breed!" The old lady pointed at her and cursed viciously.
Xiong Shuli, as if watching a good show, leaned back slowly with his arms around his chest, and smiled slightly: "Old lady, we will definitely not forgive Lin Wei's death lightly."
Lin Luzhi gave up on the old lady, so he said in a deep voice, "Mother, Jinhua has nothing to do with this matter, let her go..."
"You are all a bunch of snakes and rats, not human dogs, dogs should die, all of you will be buried with my Will!" She cursed rudely with red eyes, and she no longer pretended to be the wife of everyone.
Lin Jincheng was trembling with anger: "Grandmother, why are you so embarrassing? Second Uncle's death really has nothing to do with us..."
"Do you have the guts to call him the second uncle?" The old lady stared at him fiercely: "It was you who harmed him, and it was you, the third room, who restrained me and my two sons, that made our eldest and second room grow up for so many years." So thin!"
Lin Jinhua suddenly realized that this was the fundamental reason why she had always hated Sanfang.
Lin Jincheng wanted to say more, but Master Yuan slammed the gavel and reprimanded him: "Lin Jincheng, you are usually gentle and gentle, but now you are disrespectful to your elders, arguing with your grandmother like this shows that your character is poor!"
Lin Jinhua gritted her teeth slightly, looked at the arrogant old lady and the confident Xiong Shuli and Master Yuan, and only hoped that Dafang could move faster.
Just as he finished speaking, someone came in and whispered something in Master Yuan's ear. Master Yuan's complexion changed, and he immediately looked at Xiong Shuli, but Zhao Huaiyan could already hear clearly: "Since someone is testifying, it is natural to invite them up!"
"My lord, this matter..." Before Xiong Shuli wanted to stop it, Gao Zhi had already entered, and respectfully saluted in the hall, before saying, "Return to my lord, my subordinates have found the lair of the assassin who assassinated yesterday according to your instructions. One was taken, a total of 48 people, [-] dead or injured, and [-] survivors. In addition, the person who assassinated General Lin outside the city last time has also been found out. He was the prime minister’s cousin Xiong Mao. People have taken Xiong Mao, and Wang Yushi is also invited to see the Holy One."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, it seemed that she was doing too much?
As soon as these words came out, Xiong Shuli's lazy look just now disappeared. He looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a sullen face, and said with a sneer, "King Ning's movements are really fast."
"Not as good as the Prime Minister." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly, and glanced at Mr. Yuan: "The case is not going to trial?"
Seeing this situation, Master Yuan dared not to interrogate, so he immediately sent someone to send witnesses outside.
The witness was Lin Jincheng's bodyguard, who brought the assassin's body.
"Reporting to my lord, after you took away my lord and son yesterday, these two assassins confessed that someone instructed them to slander my son and lord, and they had signed and pledged, but when they turned their heads, someone used a peacock feather The arrow killed them." After saying this, he presented the arrow himself.
Everyone knew about the arrow. During the previous search, it was found in Lin Wei's servant's room, and Lin Jincheng and his son hadn't been in the capital for so many years. All the military camps they used were registered. This arrow could not be theirs. As for Lin Jinyu...
Master Yuan looked at the girl who was no more than fifteen standing under his eyes, she was weak and weak, she didn't seem to be able to arrange these things, even if she did it, there is no evidence.
"This..." Mr. Yuan looked at Mr. Xiong hesitantly, while Lin Jinhua took a step forward: "My lord, please find out the origin of this peacock feather arrow immediately."
Xiong Shuli frowned, Master Yuan could only say: "We will definitely investigate, but it will take some time." After finishing speaking, he changed the subject and stared at the attendant: "You said they confessed, but now there is no evidence to prove it. Do you know if you tortured me into tricks, or simply produced a fake certificate to fool me?"
The attendant secretly glanced at Lin Jinhua, without any fear, bowed and said, "My lord, these two people also admitted that the basement of No. 12, East Lane, West Suburb, is their secret base, and there are no fewer than 50 people in training. Your lord doesn't believe it." , let people know at a glance. Even if people can run, the underground training room that can accommodate 50 people can't run. If what Caomin said is true or not, you can know at a glance."
Mr. Yuan remembered what the people of King Ning had just said back and forth. Could it be that they were all talking about the same place?
Gao Zhi immediately said: "This is the place where the assassin's hiding place that my subordinates found out!"
Lin Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at Master Yuan: "Doesn't Your Excellency want to investigate?"
Xiong Shuli's idle state slowly put away, and he leaned forward slightly, staring at the attendant.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at Lin Jinhua indifferently, and then said: "Master Yuan's torture of Master Lin and Mr. Lin, is it not also a vain attempt to torture?"
"But the officer..."
"The king will record this crime first, and after the trial of the case, he will be punished. Master Yuan will continue to interrogate." Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently.
Lord Yuan felt a little guilty at this moment, King Ning was threatening him.
He gritted his teeth slightly, looked at Xiong Shuli, and then continued the interrogation.
Lin Jinhua turned her head to look at the sky outside, secretly worried about the eldest lady and Lin Xiyu, but she didn't know that their mother and daughter handled this matter particularly well today.
On the busiest street in the capital, Shun Fu Lai Tavern is the restaurant with the best business here. The upper and lower floors are full of princes and wives from various families.
Mrs. Dingnanhou wanted to go to the Lin Mansion to look for Lin Jinhua, but she also rested here when she couldn't find anyone. She was about to go up the stairs to the private room, but she was only halfway there when she suddenly saw Lin Xiyu screaming and running down the stairs.
Seeing this, Mrs. Hou stopped her and said, "What's the matter?"
Lin Xiyu's face was flushed, but she didn't dare to speak out. She pointed to the innermost room on the second floor and said, "There are... there are ghosts..."
"Ghost?" Madam Hou hurriedly clutched her stomach, but there was a group of onlookers downstairs, rushing over.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Lin Xiyu said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, I'm going to invite Master to catch ghosts now."
Those young gentlemen are not taboo about this, and looking at Lin Xiyu's appearance, they only regarded it as a joke, nodded and walked forward quickly, knowing that for Lin Zisu in the room, there is indeed a ghost inside. '.
When she woke up dimly, she felt that something was wrong all over her body, her body was wet and sticky, and there was a strong smell of blood everywhere.In the past few days, she has been worried that her father's ghost will come back to find her, and now she is even more afraid.
The windows of the room were sealed, and it was pitch black everywhere. She barely stood up and groped and asked, "Is anyone there? Come, come!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of white silk suddenly floated down from the beam, and a man called her name in a low voice: "Zisu, my daughter, why did you kill my father? Go to hell with my father... ..."
"No, you're not dad, you're not..." She was so frightened that her whole body was cold, but she hurriedly shook her head to comfort herself.
But before he finished speaking, another gust of wind blew behind him, and the cold male voice came again, saying the same words.
She began to stumble and run around, but found that this was not her room, and the smell of blood in the room was also piercing her nostrils, and more and more white silks were floating down from the beams, as if they were going to hook her in the next second The neck is average.
"Don't, don't!" She screamed, shrinking in the corner in fright, a cold hand that came out of nowhere suddenly grabbed her ankle and started dragging towards the darkest place.
She broke down completely and screamed: "Let me go, Dad, let me go, I didn't mean to kill you, I didn't mean to..."
"Why did you kill me..."
The cold male voice continued to ask, the cold hands loosened her ankles, and the cold liquid began to spread from under her body.
She couldn't see clearly but thought it was blood, and her limbs were numb with fright.
"My head has been chopped off, it hurts so much, why did you kill me, why..." The cold male voice continued to whisper in her ear, with the coldest breath: "The eighteenth hell is good!" Terrible, Zisu, come and be my father..."
"No—!" Lin Zisu covered her ears and screamed, but was so frightened that she burst into tears: "It took me a long time to become Princess Jing, and it took me a long time to get ahead, and I was able to trample Lin Jinhua and Sanfang under their feet , I don’t want to die. Dad, please let me go, I didn’t kill you on purpose, but if you don’t die, they will never reuse me. If you don’t die, Sanfang will always be my stumbling block! Dad, don’t you also Do you think everyone in the third room is dead..."
She made a painful confession, hoping that Lin Wei would let her go, but she didn't know that the people outside the room who were planning to catch ghosts were all stunned.
Did Lin Zisu kill her own father?Still want to take the opportunity to kill the third bedroom of the Lin family?
Madam Hou didn't intend to approach, but when she heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she immediately asked someone to kick the door.
Lin Zisu was still in fear. When the door was kicked open, the room lit up instantly. She thought the blood in the room was nothing but water, and the smell of blood was nothing more than a pot of chicken sitting next to her. Blood.
She looked at the unbelievable expression on the face of the person who rushed in, and knew that she had been deceived, and immediately looked up to find the man who had just spoken, but when she turned around, she only saw a crazy man with disheveled hair bun.
She screamed and wanted to back away, only to realize that she only had a bellyband on her body.
"You..." She widened her eyes in astonishment.
Mrs. Hou has already turned her back in a hurry: "With no shame, the dignified Princess Jing dares to have an affair with a man here, it's really shameful!"
"I didn't..." She defended palely. Lin Xiyu, who had run away before, had already come back. Seeing her like this, she also pretended to be surprised: "Oh, why is it fourth sister!"
Madam Hou frowned and looked at her: "What's going on?"
Lin Xiyu just looked confused, and then the eldest lady next door also came, saw Lin Zisu, and took off her robe to cover her, so she couldn't bear to say: "Zisu, Auntie knows that you are not satisfied A man, how could he be with such beggars in broad daylight..."
When Lin Zisu heard it, she didn't know that she was tricking her, so she pushed the person away with red eyes: "You guys hurt me, you wronged me!"
The beggar was still mad, and said in a cold voice, "Zisu, Daddy died so badly..."
"Shut up!" Lin Zisu yelled, but the eyes of others looking at her could no longer be normal.
Mrs. Hou recalled what Huijue had said before, and she felt that Huijue was getting more and more excited: "Master Huijue calculated that you murdered your father early this morning. I never thought it was true! Now you are still disheveled here with a wild man, Lin Zisu, You are so shameless!"
"Mrs. Hou, I didn't..." She still wanted to argue. How could Madam Hou allow her to say more: "Come here, send him to Dali Temple, and then notify King Jing." If Lin Zisu was killed, she would not be able to sell Lin Jinhua's favor.But Huijue said that Lin Jinhua is a blessed person, and he might borrow her blessing in the future.
Mrs. Hou's calculations were very clear. Lin Xiyu and Mrs. Madam looked at each other and knew that the matter was over. She breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Lin Zisu being escorted away, and hurriedly disposed of all the clues on the scene, including the beggar.
Those who watched the excitement outside also went out non-stop to share their experiences. After all, Princess Tangtang not only killed her father, but also had an affair with a man.
Here in Dali Temple, Xiong Shuli has already produced evidence of treason.
"Lin Luzhi, this is your handwritten letter and seal, you can't say that anyone has wronged you." Xiong Shuli said coldly.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, then squinted at him.
Gao Zhi took a step forward, picked up the letter he had thrown on the ground, opened it and looked at it: "There is someone in Prince Ning's Mansion who can imitate handwriting and seals, and he can analyze the approximate month when this letter was written."
Xiong Shuli frowned, before Lin Luzhi sneered, "Who is this letter for?"
"Naturally, it's the enemy general whose life you spared." Xiong Shuli said firmly.
"Really?" Lin Luzhi looked up at him: "Then when did you give him this letter?"
"Looking at the content of the letter, it was last March." When Xiong Shuli said this, he hesitated a little.
Hearing this, Lin Jincheng also laughed out loud, and looked at him with a sneer: "If the prime minister wants to make evidence, he should do it all. Last March, Dad was far away in the northwest, thousands of miles away from the general you mentioned , even if you hurry up, it will be a month after the news is sent. How about the letter saying that there will be a surprise attack in three days, but it will be a month after the letter arrives. Who would be so stupid to send a useless message?"
Xiong Shuli's palms tightened slightly, Lin Jinhua looked at the servant of Lin's residence who was parked on the side, the servant nodded, and said: "Yesterday, Caomin also caught two people who spread rumors that General Lin was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. After investigation, these two people are the prime minister. The servant of my cousin Xiong Mao. Now he is outside the residence, please pass it on to your lord."
Mr. Yuan raised his heart slightly, but Zhao Huaiyan had already said before he could say a word: "Biography!"
Xiong Shuli looked at the few remaining letters in his hand, and frowned heavily, Gao Zhi also asked someone to pass on someone who could imitate handwriting.
Not long after, two fat men with big ears were quickly brought in.As soon as the two of them came in and saw Xiong Shuli, they knelt down and begged for mercy: "Prime Minister, please help us, we just said something casually, and we were arrested by the Lin family..."
"Did you just say it casually? The dozen or so people waiting outside who often do this kind of business know very well." Lin Jinhua said calmly.
Master Yuan glanced at her, secretly surprised, it turned out that she had arranged all of this, if I knew she should have been arrested yesterday.
Xiong Shuli stared at the people under his eyes who were not doing enough to make things happen, and only secretly waited for Zhao Kan to come over.He looked at Zhao Huaiyan, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness Ning, don't forget the emperor's order."
"It's better for the prime minister to care about his official position." He looked at the imperial decree on the side, frowned slightly, and didn't say any more.
Lin Jinhua had already roughly guessed what the imperial decree was about, and only looked at his father worriedly. He had paid so much for Jinchao, and the final imperial decree would be the biggest blow.
At this time outside Dali Temple, Mrs. Hou had arrived with Lin Zisu.
He looked at the guards in front of the gate of Dali Temple, and ordered someone to come forward and pass a message: "My wife, Mrs. Hou, is asking to see King Ning, and there are important witnesses."
The people at the door were afraid of King Ning, and they didn't dare to play tricks anymore, so they went to spread the word immediately.
Lin Zisu was pressed down, her face was ashen. She never thought that the day of prosperity she expected had not yet come, but the day of death had arrived first, and it was only within a day.
Mrs. Hou glanced at her contemptuously, but she was unwilling to say a word to her. Seeing people coming out to greet her, she was just about to go when suddenly there was a rush of hoofbeats, and the maid beside her hurriedly Shouting to be careful, he pulled her back hastily to one side.
Lin Zisu also turned her head, and was overjoyed when she saw the person coming: "My lord, save me..."
Before she finished her last word, a cold sword directly plunged into her heart.
She looked at Zhao Kan in disbelief. The man who once looked at her with the most affectionate eyes and said he would marry her and love her had pierced her heart with a sword.
"My lord..." She was unwilling.
But Zhao Kan looked at her like a piece of rag, full of disgust and resentment: "Bitch, you should have died a long time ago, and now you have to dirty my king's sword!" Zhao Kan pulled out his sword mercilessly, and looked Blood spattered, and even the sword was thrown away.
Lin Zisu's eyes widened, her heart ached like a knife, but she could only collapse on the ground powerlessly.
She was still unwilling, she watched Zhao Kan jump off the horse and walked to her side, she stretched out her hand to him: "My lord..."
Zhao Kan looked at her indifferently, stepped on her wrist, and only ordered to others: "Lin Zisu has an affair with someone, get rid of the title of Princess Jing, and throw the body to the mass grave to feed the dogs!"
"No—" Even if she was divorced, she would still be the fourth miss of the Lin family. If she was thrown into a mass grave, she would never stand up again.
But Zhao Kan couldn't be bothered to look at her anymore, so he turned his head and looked at the frightened Madam Hou coldly, and sneered, "I didn't know Madam Hou was such a warm-hearted person before, and she helped me so much today. The king will definitely thank you in the future!"
Madam Hou swallowed her saliva. She did not expect that a person who usually looks suave and suave would be so vicious. He killed his wife as soon as he said he would kill him, and even threw him into a mass grave.
"Jing...His Royal Highness King Jing..." She murmured, and Zhao Kan had already snorted before turning his head and entering Dali Temple.
The maid next to her supported Madam Hou and said worriedly: "Madam, why don't we get involved and go back."
Madam Hou gritted her teeth and glared at her: "If you don't go now, you will not only offend King Jing, but also fail to please Lin Jinhua and King Ning. Wouldn't it be worth the loss?" Lin Zisu on the side of the road took a look.
Once the most beautiful and most beautiful woman in the capital, now her reputation has been ruined and she was abandoned by others, even murdered by her own husband.
Tears rolled down Lin Zisu's eyes, but she couldn't speak anymore.
Zhao Kan entered the lobby, and when he saw Xiong Shuli and Master Yuan with serious faces, he said coldly, "Isn't the interrogation over yet?"
Madam Hou followed in, looked at Zhao Huaiyan and said, "His Royal Highness Ning Wang, Lin Zisu herself said in front of everyone that Lin Wei was killed by her design, and has nothing to do with General Lin and his son."
When the old lady heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded: "How is it possible! Where is she, I want to ask her personally!" Said that the granddaughter killed the son?How is this possible, she doesn't believe it...
Mrs. Hou glanced at her indifferently, and said: "Everyone knows that she was discovered by everyone because of her adultery, and she was given a sword to death by King Jing at the gate of Dali Temple just now."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present shrank their eyes, and the old lady was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Xiong Shuli frowned: "Why is His Royal Highness King Jing so impulsive..."
Zhao Kan gritted his teeth slightly, and looked at Zhao Huaiyan: "Brother Dahuang said a lot of good things to my younger brother when he went to the father, and the emperor asked my younger brother to put aside the affairs of the court and return to the family to cultivate his character. Thank you, Brother Dahuang! "
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, tapped his fingers on the table slowly, and finally stopped until someone came outside again.
A man in black clothes and a goatee bowed forward and said, "Report to the lord, this letter is a forgery."
"En." He responded lightly, then turned to look at Xiong Shuli: "What evidence does the prime minister have?"
"Someone identified..." Before he could finish his sentence, someone from outside came in and whispered in his ear: "The witness has been silenced."
"how is this possible……"
"The Ninth Prince is leading Murong Yu and Murong Chen into the palace right now, Prime Minister, Empress Concubine De wants you to go into the palace immediately." The man continued.
When Xiong Shuli heard this, he stood up abruptly and stared at Zhao Huaiyan. After a long while, he sneered. "The lower officials knew that His Royal Highness Ning Wang is not a thing in the pool. Now it seems that it is really unusual."
Lin Jinhua looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a calm face, and then at Zhao Kan who showed a clear smile. It turned out that all this was not only for his father, but also to test Zhao Huaiyan's strength.Now it seems that they will not let Zhao Huaiyan go easily.
Zhao Huaiyan was very calm, and slowly opened the imperial decree in his hand, stood up and read out: "By God, the emperor ordered it. Although it is not true that the general Lin Luzhi communicated with the enemy, it is true that he spared the enemy before the battle." Unfaithful, but I thought that Zaiqing was born and died for the Jin Dynasty for 30 years, so he was exempted from punishment. In view of the constant slander of Aiqing and treason, in order to keep the court peaceful, I also thought that Aiqing was old, so I stayed with the general for a while. For the first position, the Tiger Talisman Seal will be handed in temporarily, and you can stay in the mansion for training."
Lin Luzhi's back, which had always been straight, finally bent, and he knelt down for a long time speechless.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at it, didn't say any more, just looked at Lin Jincheng: "Young General Lin is extremely intelligent, he is indeed a great general, and he was promoted from a young general to a third-class mighty general, I respect you!"
Lin Jincheng knew that the emperor would make such a move, but he didn't expect to come to make peace at such a time, and took the opportunity to take away his father's military power.It seems that he has been promoted to a third-class mighty general, but he is just an official position guarding the city gate and has no real power.
He knelt down to thank him, and his disappointment was not written on his face.
Lin Jinhua glanced at all the people present, including the two princes and the high-ranking prime minister. No one got a good fortune, only the emperor became the fisherman who got the benefit.
Xiong Shuli saw that the emperor had already thought of a countermeasure, and knew that his position would be cut, so he looked at Zhao Kan and walked away.
The one who is most afraid of the rest is Mr. Yuan.I thought that I would make meritorious service this time, but I didn't know that the emperor had already counted everyone into the account.
He was about to get up when the clerk outside suddenly brought a box to him: "My lord, someone brought it specially just now and said that it must be handed over to you!"
Master Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition, he opened the box carefully, and when he saw the contents, his body softened immediately, and he sat down on the ground with blue face and red eyes.
"Did Mr. Yuan freak out because of the abuse of lynching?" Zhao Huaiyan slowly put away the imperial decree and looked at him.He usually looks indifferent, but sometimes he holds grudges very much, especially those who dare to hurt his woman.
Master Yuan hurriedly looked at Zhao Kan, but Zhao Kan just stared at him coldly: "Your Excellency is a smart man, there are some things that I don't need to remind you, right?" After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Jinhua, with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Miss Seven is really smart. If my future princess is as smart as you, that would be great."
"My lord was joking, the future Princess Jing will never be as smart as me." Lin Jinhua glanced at him indifferently, feeling cold in her heart, because your next wife will also be the one I give you!
Zhao Kan smiled deeply, looked back at Zhao Huaiyan, and walked away.
Seeing all this, the old lady almost collapsed, how could her Will be killed by Zisu?Zisu just became Concubine Jing, why did she die?
She looked at Lin Luzhi, stood up tremblingly and approached him: "Luzhi, mother..."
"Mother is tired, and it's time to take a good rest. From now on, the third wife has nothing to do with your first wife and second wife." Lin Luzhi was so indifferent to her for the first time, and also made up his mind for the first time.The world is unkind, and it is even more cruel to his poor daughter. Just now he called his mother for many years to insult them like this, how could he pretend that he didn't hear it.
He raised his head and saluted Zhao Huaiyan solemnly, then he took the iron chain that passed through the pipa bone with his own hands, and went out stubbornly alone.
Lin Jinhua watched her father leave, she couldn't say what she felt, but some people would not stop being a monster just because their father lost his military power.
She just turned her head and looked at Master Yuan coolly: "My lord has never thought that karma will be rewarded, and it is time to believe it. The beauty waited for you, but she lost her life for you."
"It's you..." Mr. Yuan remembered the severed hand in the brocade box, and looked at her in disbelief.
Zhao Huaiyan was already dissatisfied when he stared at Lin Jinhua's ferocious eyes, and said coldly, "Come here, Master Yuan abused his loyal ministers by lynching, took him down, pierced his lute bone, and beat him with another eighty lashes."
Master Yuan seemed to only feel the chill creeping from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, but he heard him say in a cold voice: "Master Yuan's crime is not worthy of death, after the execution of the sentence, please invite the imperial doctor to take care of you!"
Madam Hou at the bottom looked at Prince Ning, who had always been indifferent and indifferent, as if he was gnashing his teeth to take revenge, and her heart trembled.
She looked pitifully at Mrs. Lin who was still clenching her teeth and her eyeballs were still spinning around, and left in a hurry.
Lin Jinhua followed outside Dali Temple, and helped Lin Jincheng get into the carriage, but didn't follow immediately, and said, "Brother and father go first, I still have things to attend to."
"Okay." Lin Jincheng only said that his sister was not simple, seeing her burning eyes, he didn't say anything more.
Lin Jinhua watched their carriage go away, and finally her heart sank. She turned her head to look at Mrs. Hou who had come out, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stepped forward to meet her.
(End of this chapter)
in the room.
The incense was smoked all night, and a few cups of strong tea were changed, but Lin Xiyu and her daughter still couldn't figure out how to lure Lin Zisu out. There is no life left.
Lin Xiyu saw that the strong tea in the cup was finished, and she was sleepy and planned to ask someone to pour another cup, but she didn't know that the maid Yuan'er came in quickly from outside.
"It's just in time, pour me tea..." Lin Xiyu propped her forehead and said.
Yuan'er pursed her lips, walked up to her with a soft smile, and said in a low voice: "Miss, just now when the servant went out, I saw Miss Si fainted outside our yard, and the servant has already been quietly carried back to your room." .”
"Really?" Lin Xiyu sat up straight at once, and woke up after dozing off.
Yuan'er nodded hastily; "How dare this servant lie to you, go and have a look."
Lin Xiyu looked at the eldest lady in surprise, and said what she said, but the eldest lady hesitated: "How could it be such a coincidence? Is there any trap?"
"If there is any trap, let's be careful when we do it, and we will never let anyone find out." Lin Xiyu said anxiously, she wished she could immediately pull Lin Zisu from the position of Princess Jing, otherwise she would still be the eldest sister every day. It is aggrieved to follow the rules to salute and greet her.
"But……"
"Oh my mother, this is our best chance. Lin Zisu is so ruthless now, if she wakes up and thinks that we knocked her out, why don't we also be dragged into the fire pit?" Lin Xiyu hurriedly said.
The eldest lady thought about it, and really felt that there was not much time, so she just looked at the woman beside her: "The person who asked you to prepare, has he ever been ready?"
The mother-in-law hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, ma'am, that man is the man who did that mediocre thing with Miss Fourth on the street that day. He has a problem with his brain and he only likes to pick on women, especially Miss Fourth. Don't you want to go crazy?"
The eldest lady gave her a satisfied look, then she got up in peace and took a few people with her.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the quiet capital began to be lively again. Storytellers walking around the streets and alleys organized the affairs of the Lin family into stories. The most glamorous ones were naturally Lin Zisu and her mother Ye Shi. a paragraph.
Zhao Kan came out on purpose today, intending to see Lin Jinhua. If she was willing to ask herself, then it would be the best, but when she passed by the storyteller, she would be ashamed.
Seeing this, the guard at the side asked people to stop the carriage, and quietly asked beside him, "Your Majesty, do you want to deal with it?"
"Ah."
"No." Xiong Shuli said from the side.
Zhao Kan was puzzled: "Could it be that uncle lets these troublemakers spread these things indiscriminately?"
Xiong Shuli shook his head: "This matter has already spread, what's the use of killing a person, Your Highness? Instead, it will attract people's discussion, so it's better to wait a little longer." He remembered that when the emperor was in court this morning, most of the affairs that the emperor should have managed by himself were taken care of. When it was handed over to Zhao Huaiyan, he felt that the emperor must have reached a condition with Zhao Huaiyan and would not take the initiative to attack the Lin family, so Zhao Kan had to be more careful in his actions in the future.
Zhao Kan raised the curtain of the car and looked at the tea shed. The storyteller's spittle was flying everywhere, but the people below were fascinated by it. When it came to those eclectic scenes, the people below showed a wretched look.The more he looked, the more angry he became, his face turned ashen, and he let the carriage go forward.
The carriage goes to Lin's mansion and passes through Dingnanhou's mansion.
Zhao Kan usually didn't pay attention. When he was leaving today, there was a lot of noise outside the carriage. Because of the storyteller's incident, he was unhappy and asked dissatisfiedly, "What's going on outside?"
"It seems that Master Huijue, who has become famous in the capital recently, set up an altar at the gate of the Hou's Mansion." Someone said outside.
Zhao Kan's face became more and more cold: "The Marquis of Dingnan is also crazy, he actually believes in these monster monks..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard that Huijue outside had stopped singing, and looked in the direction of the Lin residence with serious eyes.
Madam Hou was sitting at the back, seeing this, she hurriedly asked: "Master, what's the matter?"
"A catastrophe from heaven is causing trouble again, catastrophe, catastrophe!" He sighed loudly.
The onlookers were taken aback, and some couldn't help asking: "Master, who is the disaster star? What's the matter?"
Huijue recited Amitabha again, then shook his head and only sighed: "This poor monk said long ago that she used to only restrain her family, but now her demonic power is getting stronger and stronger, and now she wants to restrain the stomach of Mrs. Hou." Young master, in the future, we will still suppress the common people and endanger the country!"
"Nonsense." In the carriage, Zhao Kan said something in a low voice, but suddenly it became quiet outside.
Xiong Shuli felt strange, opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that Huijue was actually looking towards their carriage.
He frowned slightly, and said to Zhao Kan, "Your Highness, I'm afraid we have to get off the carriage."
"Playing tricks, what are you doing with him? Dispel the people in front and go directly to the Lin residence." He said disdainfully.
The guards outside obeyed the order, and immediately stepped forward to open the way, and the carriage also ran quickly.
As soon as the carriage left, Huijue shook his head again, and said with great regret: "This demon girl disaster star is the current Princess Jing! And according to the secrets that the poor monk peeped out, not only did she not change her thieves this time, she also You have committed the crime of killing your father!"
"What?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise and began to discuss in low voices.
Madam Hou also turned down her face and asked, "Master, is what you said true?"
Huijue looked at her seriously and nodded: "Ma'am, monks don't lie. And because of this demon girl who harmed the country, His Royal Highness King Jing will also be implicated by her. After half a month, a large number of epidemic diseases may break out in the capital, causing countless casualties!"
When people heard that Lin Zisu was just a catastrophe who killed his father, they still thought it was someone else's business, but now they all became nervous when they heard this.
"Master, is there any other way to resolve it?" Someone asked.
Huijue shook his head helplessly, and bowed to the crowd: "The poor monk's qualifications are shallow, and he has lost ten years of life to be able to spy on these things. There is really nothing he can do, unless the disaster star disappears, and His Royal Highness King Jing can retreat for a year for the people of Liming. "He quietly changed Lin Jinhua's rhetoric quite a bit, fearing that in half a month's time the matter would fail, and he would offend King Jing for no reason, and now that it was like this, he was not considered as having failed to complete the task.
Seeing that he was serious, Mrs. Hou didn't dare to have doubts, she immediately ordered someone to quietly pull him into the mansion, and said in a low voice: "Master, you may think of a way to keep my child?"
Huijue rolled his eyes, thinking of Lin Jinhua's threat to him yesterday, he felt a little lucky, and said, "Madam, why don't you ask the seventh lady of the Lin family to try, the seventh lady is blessed, maybe it can work."
"Lin Jinhua..." Mrs. Hou frowned. How could she not have heard about the Lin family's affairs, and she would definitely not be able to invite her now unless the Lin family's affairs were resolved.She paused, then looked at Huijue: "Then please ask Master to recite scriptures and pray for my son in the mansion."
Huijue naturally responded.
After Madam Hou finished speaking, she hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and go to Lin's mansion.
Lin Jinhua just arrived in Lin Jincheng's courtyard wing room, and glanced at the two people who had been tossed on the ground, half dead but not dead. She, the wild dog has been taken out, but the two of them faintly heard the dog barking, and their whole bodies froze.
Only then did Lin Jinhua ask someone to move a stool to sit on one side, and asked them calmly, "Can we talk now?"
Mo Xue stepped forward to pick up one of the people's chin, poured him another sip of tea, and said reluctantly: "If I don't tell you, will you kill me directly?"
Lin Jinhua raised the corners of her lips slightly: "I will make the second half of your birthday like this day and night, but I may occasionally change places for you, such as on the street, in front of your family, or in front of the woman you admire..."
"You..." He grimaced, and the attendant who was leading the dog immediately took a step forward, then he gritted his teeth and said, "I can tell you."
He just said a word, and the people next to him began to shake their heads to indicate that he could not speak.
Lin Jinhua looked at the attendant next to him. The attendant understood and had already dragged him into the inner room.
Only then did the man say: "We are all young people, we obeyed the leader's arrangement. After killing Lin Wei, the leader ran away."
"Where is the leader?"
"It's hidden in the basement in the western suburbs, where forty or fifty dead soldiers like me have been trained." He said in detail, now he doesn't ask for a way to survive, he just wants to die quickly.
"That is to say, my father and brother didn't instruct you to kill Lin Wei, but? And what you slandered them yesterday was also deliberately instigated." Lin Jinyu said coldly.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Lin Jinhua's cold eyes, and was also a little puzzled. How could a teenage girl have such eyes? Could it be that he was trained like himself?
"Yes. But I don't know who it is, and I don't know more. But one thing, even if I die, I will not testify in court." He gritted his teeth.I have never seen the light in my life, and I don't want to see the light when I die.
Lin Jinhua didn't make things difficult for him anymore, she raised her hand and let the people below carry it out.
The attendant at the side was puzzled: "Miss Seven, why is this so, why not..."
"Take someone to encircle and suppress the remaining dead soldiers immediately. Do you have any arrows from Kongqueling?" Lin Wei must be Zhao Kan and Concubine De. If the assassin is killed now, the government will naturally track him down. Not in the capital, and she is just a weak woman, the government can't find them anyway, but might take the opportunity to find out Zhao Kan and Concubine De.
The attendant paused, and immediately felt sorry for it: "Your subordinate will do it now."
After he led the people away, someone came forward and looked at her with a little admiration: "Miss Seven, my son ordered us to investigate the person who spread the rumors, and he was arrested quietly in the middle of the night, tortured in the middle of the night, now Everything was recruited, indeed someone ordered it, but it was not someone from King Jing’s Mansion, but Xiong Mao, the master of the Xiong family.”
"Xiong Shilin's father?" Lin Jinhua snorted softly, never thought that Xiong Shuli would actually push his cousin to take the blame, and that would be cruel enough.
"Yes, and they still have the bank notes given to them by Xiong Mao in their hands. The stubs of the tickets are clear. The subordinates have checked it. It is indeed in the name of Xiong Mao." The man said.
Lin Jinhua nodded: "That's very good, bring the person and the evidence, and follow me to Dali Temple to appeal for grievances."
"Miss, let's go there like this?" Mo Xue hesitated, such insufficient preparation made her hesitate.
Lin Jinhua paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of the exquisite kit on Master Yuan's waist yesterday, and smiled coldly: "I almost forgot... I remember Ye Ling said before that there is only one embroiderer in the capital who knows Suzhou embroidery? Yesterday, Master Yuan That purse is the most exquisite Su embroidery, and it is very new, and he still hangs it with him, so this embroiderer must be very important to him."
Mo Xue understood: "I'll go and investigate now, servant girl."
"ASAP."
"Yes." Mo Xue responded and quickly disappeared into the yard.
As soon as she left, Lin Jinhua didn't have time to go back to Luoxia Garden to change clothes, so she walked out of the mansion.
When the old lady's people saw her coming out, they hurriedly passed a wink in private, and asked someone to inform the old lady, while others stepped forward to stop her: "Miss Seven, the old lady ordered..."
"Whoever gets in the way, die." Lin Jinhua looked indifferently at the woman who was blocking the way.
The smirk on the mother-in-law's face froze, and she chuckled: "Miss Seven, the servants are also following orders, so don't make things difficult for the servants..."
The corners of Lin Jinyu's mouth curled up indifferently: "The third room was indeed too used to you in the past, making you unaware of the heights of heaven and earth." After finishing speaking, he raised his hand lightly, and Lin Jincheng's attendant stepped forward and kicked him away.
The mother-in-law fell to the ground and yelled, the others watched and tried to stop her, but they dared not.
Lin Jinhua glanced at them indifferently, and walked straight away.
As soon as she left, the woman glared at the others: "What are you still doing in a daze, and you haven't informed the old lady yet."
Lin Jinhua doesn't care about the old lady now, without her father, she is just a paper tiger.
She walked forward quickly, but before she stepped out of the gate of Lin's mansion, she saw the carriage of King Jing's mansion parked at the gate of Lin's mansion.
Zhao Kan raised the curtain of the carriage, saw her in a neat red dress, her expression was cold, her eyes were a little surprised, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised to look at her: "Want to go to Dali Temple? This king is just going to take you a ride."
"Thank you King Jing for your kindness. If men and women can't get married, the courtiers will go there by themselves in a carriage." After Lin Jinhua finished speaking, a servant suddenly came to look at her anxiously: "Miss, it's not good, the stable suddenly caught fire, and the carriage was completely burnt out." gone."
Lin Jincheng frowned and stared at Zhao Kan coldly.
Zhao Kan didn't make any excuses, just smiled charmingly: "It's really a coincidence, but it's also our fate, Miss Seven, come up."
Lin Jinyu frowned slightly. It was getting late now, and if she didn't go to Dali Temple, the public trial would be held, and the old lady would come to pester her.
Thinking of this, she clenched her fist tightly and took two steps forward.
Seeing that people were coming, Zhao Kan raised his chin slightly. Such a beauty was sitting with him in a small carriage. I don't know how Zhao Huaiyan would feel when he saw this...
He slowly watched her approach step by step, and saw that she was about to step on the low stool and get into the carriage, but suddenly he heard the horse neighing, and then a man in a crescent-colored brocade robe came riding a big bay red horse, He stopped by Lin Jinhua's side and reached out to her, "Come up."
"Brother Emperor, you..."
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently: "Father ordered you to enter the palace immediately. This king will personally handle the matter of Dali Temple."
Lin Jinhua saw that there was a bit of coldness hidden between his brows, and gritted his silver teeth slightly. He turned around and grabbed his hand, but he was pulled forward by him, got on the horse and sat in front of him.
Zhao Kan was so angry that his lungs would explode: "Brother Dahuang, do you know that the imperial decree is false..."
"Prime Minister Xiong said what he said in the brochure he handed over in the middle of the night yesterday. Is it normal for the father to summon the third brother at this time?" Zhao Huaiyan stared at the carriageway.
Xiong Shuli inside heard the words, and then opened the curtain of the carriage, stepped out of the carriage and respectfully greeted him: "It seems that the prince has already found a way to solve the minister Zhezi."
Zhao Huaiyan gave him a cold look, and left quickly on his horse without saying a word.
Listening to the conversation between him and Xiong Shuli, Lin Jinhua always felt that something was wrong: "My lord, what happened?"
Zhao Huaiyan frowned slightly, held the rein tightly with one hand, and held her waist firmly with the other, and only whispered: "Trust me."
"Did the emperor have other thoughts about father?" In fact, she also knew that the kings of all dynasties were afraid of heroes, especially those who held a heavy army like father.
Seeing that she could think of it and didn't hide it, Zhao Huaiyan nodded.
"Is it about father's life?"
"I can keep my life." Zhao Huaiyan sighed slightly, before saying, "When you will be in prison in a while, don't get excited, just trust me."
She had been to the prison in Dali Temple, and it looked peaceful inside, but Zhao Huaiyan said that, could it be that Mr. Yuan couldn't help but make a move?
She was apprehensive, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she only gritted her teeth slightly, until the horse passed through countless alleys and finally stopped at the entrance of the cold Dali Temple.
The guards in front of the gate of Dali Temple today seemed to be extraordinarily energetic. When they saw someone coming, they immediately went in to report.
Lin Jinhua got off the horse and hurried to go in, Zhao Huaiyan raised her hand and pulled her behind, then stepped forward and said coldly: "This king is ordered by His Majesty to come here, and let the prime minister of Dali Temple come to see this king immediately!"
"Reporting to my lord, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple suddenly contracted a serious illness last night and died suddenly. Now Dali Temple is under the management of Lord Shaoqing for the time being." The guard said with a respectful smile.
Zhao Huaiyan's eyes were cold: "Then let him come."
There was a slight threat in his tone, but the attendant didn't seem to understand it, and said with a smile: "My lord, my subordinates have already sent someone to invite you, please wait a moment." He said he was waiting, but he was actually giving a tip-off, etc. The people inside make quick decisions.
"Let me wait?" Zhao Huaiyan took a step forward.
The attendant seemed not to be afraid, straightened his back to look at him, and stood in front of him deliberately: "My lord, the Dali Temple has the rules of the Dali Temple, and all the people in it are powerful officials, and even relatives of the emperor. Follow the rules..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan had already pulled out the imperial decree from his sleeve: "If you despise the Holy Majesty, you should be beheaded!" As soon as the words fell, the attendant saw that he pulled out the saber from his waist, and then he didn't see clearly what he was doing. As soon as he moved, he felt a pain in his neck, and then fell to the ground with a bang, staring at his eyes, twitched twice and then died.
The rest of the people watched, and the courage just now disappeared all of a sudden.
Zhao Huaiyan took a step forward, and they took a step back until Zhao Huaiyan entered the Dali Temple and reached the gate of the prison.
The prisons in Dali Temple are divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black and yellow. Death row inmates are locked up in Tianzi, and ordinary prisoners are locked in Huangzi. But when Lin Jinhua saw that he was going straight to Tianzi, he clenched his hands tightly.
The last time he was slandered for treason, he was only locked up in a local prison, but this time he was locked up in death row for an unconclusive murder, which shows how eager the people behind him are to get rid of his father and brother.
Walking to a dark place around the corner, Zhao Huaiyan slowed down, looked at her who was following closely behind, and whispered, "Are you afraid?"
Lin Jinhua clenched her slightly trembling palms: "I don't want to watch the mistakes of my previous life happen again." She was thinking about how to deal with it for a while, when he held her hand in a warm palm: "Trust me."
Lin Jinhua's eyes were slightly wet, her throat was a little sore, and she didn't speak.
After walking a few steps forward, Lord Yuan hastily brought people over to meet him. Seeing Zhao Huaiyan, he immediately greeted him respectfully: "My lord is here, I'm sorry for being too far away to welcome you, lord, please forgive me."
"This king was ordered to monitor Master Lin's matter. It's getting late. Master Yuan, you can start the trial." Zhao Huaiyan said coldly.
Master Yuan's complexion tightened slightly, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "The evidence is not yet sufficient, I'm afraid we will have to wait another day or two..."
With the faint candlelight in the cell, Lin Jinhua vaguely saw the blood stained on his sleeve, and looked at him coldly: "Your Excellency can't find all the evidence, but my servant has almost found it. If your Excellency doesn't try it, then my servant will be here now." If you want to complain, can your lord open the court?"
Mr. Yuan knew that Lin Jinhua was difficult to deal with. Seeing that Mrs. Lin didn't keep her eyes on him, she frowned secretly and wanted to refuse, but Lin Jinhua stepped forward and pushed him away and ran forward.
"Stop her!" Master Yuan shouted anxiously, but Zhao Huaiyan snorted: "I see who dares to stop my king!"
Master Yuan was stunned, this Prince Ning really cared about Miss Lin so much?
He secretly thought it was bad, and hurriedly chased after him, but found that it was still too late, Lin Jinhua had already seen everything.
Lin Jinhua looked at her father who was tied to the cross pillar in front of her. The bones of the pipa had been pierced by the iron chain, her hair was in a mess, her previously determined face was full of paleness and disappointment, and only the white clothes left on her body were already stained with blood. , the whip on the ground beside him was already soaked with dazzling blood.
Seeing her coming, Lin Luzhi felt a little distressed, opened his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak a word, so he could only tell her with his mouth, let her go quickly.
Lin Jinhua's whole body seemed to be numb, she couldn't move at all, until Zhao Huaiyan called her softly, she finally came back to her senses, tears were streaming down her face at some point.
She turned her head to look at Master Yuan, looked at his thin but ruthless face, and asked in a trembling voice: "My lord, the crime of murder has not yet been determined, how dare you lynch such a dignified general!"
Master Yuan looked at her in surprise, and then at Zhao Huaiyan. Hasn't King Ning told her yet?
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he knew: "Miss Lin, you don't know that the Prime Minister used his official position as a guarantee early this morning to expose Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng's conspiracy to treason. As for killing Lin Wei, it was also because of Lin Wei and The prime minister exposed the matter, so their father and son could not wait to kill. This is a crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Last time, their father and son escaped by chance, but now they have the official position of the prime minister as a guarantee. It is no small matter, my official We have to take it seriously and use torture!"
With sour eyes, Lin Jinhua turned to look at Zhao Huaiyan.
Zhao Huaiyan frowned slightly, he only found out about this early in the morning, but his father must have known about it last night, and he allowed Master Yuan to execute the sentence, but he didn't make an explicit order.
Lin Jinhua tightly clenched her fists, closed her eyes and deeply suppressed the roiling killing intent in her heart, and then looked at Master Yuan: "The court lady also has evidence in her hands, if you want to seek justice, please open the trial with Your Excellency and His Highness King Ning!"
Seeing that she was so unfamiliar, Zhao Huaiyan felt even more distressed, and said coldly: "Open the hall!"
"But……"
"Could it be possible that Lord Yuan is waiting for King Jing and Prime Minister to come over? King Jing has already entered the palace, and Prime Minister should have arrived at Dali Temple by now." He said coldly.
After Master Yuan heard this, he hurriedly asked Lin Luzhi to untie his iron chain, but the one with the lute bone on his shoulder couldn't be undone. The long iron chain was dragged on the ground, and every step would be painful.
When Lin Luzhi was taken away, Lin Jincheng was also brought out, both wearing pipa bones and covered in blood.But he was a little better, and he could still talk. When he saw Lin Jinhua, he stopped and said worriedly, "Jinhua, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back this time. Listen to your brother, go to Xu's house, and don't come to the capital again."
The servant next to him was impatient and wanted to push him, but Lin Jinhua grabbed his wrist.
The clerk was stunned, wondering why she had such great strength, and just about to raise her hand to push her away, Zhao Huaiyan kicked her and fell to the ground.
"Is she something you can touch?" Zhao Huaiyan stood in front of Lin Jinhua.
Lin Jinhua only turned her head to look at Lin Jincheng: "Don't worry, brother, I was careless this time, and I will never let anything happen to you." She made a big mistake in her previous life, and it will never happen again in this life!
Seeing her determined eyes, Lin Jincheng wanted to persuade her again, but Zhao Huaiyan also came over: "Don't worry."
Lin Jincheng glanced at him gratefully, and then reluctantly walked forward.
The courtroom of Dali Temple was more gloomy and colder than that of Jingzhao Mansion. Lin Luzhi and Lin Jincheng just came over, and they were forced to kneel on the ground.
Xiong Shuli had already sat in front, cast a cold glance at the people below, snorted with a sneer, and said nothing.
Master Yuan sat in the middle, Zhao Huaiyan sat on the side, the gavel slapped, and the trial began.
"Lin Luzhi, Lin Jincheng, now the evidence is convincing. You communicated with the enemy country and betrayed our country's important military information, which is already treason. Now you are killing your brother Lin Wei who tipped off the news in public. It is really rampant. Don't you admit it? !” Master Yuan scolded, it seemed like a trial, but he was convicted.
Lin Luzhi looked at him with a hoarse voice, then looked at Xiong Shuli, his back was straight: "I, Lin Luzhi, have been fighting for decades for my family. I don't care about my wife and children, I don't care about family affairs, and I just devote myself to the border. I have escaped from death several times but never complained, and dare to say that I am worthy of the Holy Majesty and my people!"
"What a worthy sage, worthy of the common people. But Lin Luzhi, do you think you can overcome the ironclad evidence with just a few words? You should stop doing unnecessary struggles, lest more people be involved, isn't the gain outweighed the loss? Xiong Shuli looked at Lin Jinhua who was on the side ironically, and said.
When Lin Luzhi heard the words, his tone faltered.
Just as he was finishing speaking, it was said that Mrs. Lin had arrived.
Master Yuan and Xiong Shuli exchanged glances, and immediately invited him over.
As soon as the old lady came over, she didn't even look at the people on the ground. She knelt on the ground and began to cry: "Please be the master for the old lady. You must kill these two ruthless beasts!"
Lin Jinhua's expression darkened: "Grandmother doesn't want to catch the real murderer..."
"You are the real murderers! Lin Jinhua, don't think I don't know, you are also with them, and you are not a good breed!" The old lady pointed at her and cursed viciously.
Xiong Shuli, as if watching a good show, leaned back slowly with his arms around his chest, and smiled slightly: "Old lady, we will definitely not forgive Lin Wei's death lightly."
Lin Luzhi gave up on the old lady, so he said in a deep voice, "Mother, Jinhua has nothing to do with this matter, let her go..."
"You are all a bunch of snakes and rats, not human dogs, dogs should die, all of you will be buried with my Will!" She cursed rudely with red eyes, and she no longer pretended to be the wife of everyone.
Lin Jincheng was trembling with anger: "Grandmother, why are you so embarrassing? Second Uncle's death really has nothing to do with us..."
"Do you have the guts to call him the second uncle?" The old lady stared at him fiercely: "It was you who harmed him, and it was you, the third room, who restrained me and my two sons, that made our eldest and second room grow up for so many years." So thin!"
Lin Jinhua suddenly realized that this was the fundamental reason why she had always hated Sanfang.
Lin Jincheng wanted to say more, but Master Yuan slammed the gavel and reprimanded him: "Lin Jincheng, you are usually gentle and gentle, but now you are disrespectful to your elders, arguing with your grandmother like this shows that your character is poor!"
Lin Jinhua gritted her teeth slightly, looked at the arrogant old lady and the confident Xiong Shuli and Master Yuan, and only hoped that Dafang could move faster.
Just as he finished speaking, someone came in and whispered something in Master Yuan's ear. Master Yuan's complexion changed, and he immediately looked at Xiong Shuli, but Zhao Huaiyan could already hear clearly: "Since someone is testifying, it is natural to invite them up!"
"My lord, this matter..." Before Xiong Shuli wanted to stop it, Gao Zhi had already entered, and respectfully saluted in the hall, before saying, "Return to my lord, my subordinates have found the lair of the assassin who assassinated yesterday according to your instructions. One was taken, a total of 48 people, [-] dead or injured, and [-] survivors. In addition, the person who assassinated General Lin outside the city last time has also been found out. He was the prime minister’s cousin Xiong Mao. People have taken Xiong Mao, and Wang Yushi is also invited to see the Holy One."
Lin Jinhua raised her eyebrows slightly, it seemed that she was doing too much?
As soon as these words came out, Xiong Shuli's lazy look just now disappeared. He looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a sullen face, and said with a sneer, "King Ning's movements are really fast."
"Not as good as the Prime Minister." Zhao Huaiyan said lightly, and glanced at Mr. Yuan: "The case is not going to trial?"
Seeing this situation, Master Yuan dared not to interrogate, so he immediately sent someone to send witnesses outside.
The witness was Lin Jincheng's bodyguard, who brought the assassin's body.
"Reporting to my lord, after you took away my lord and son yesterday, these two assassins confessed that someone instructed them to slander my son and lord, and they had signed and pledged, but when they turned their heads, someone used a peacock feather The arrow killed them." After saying this, he presented the arrow himself.
Everyone knew about the arrow. During the previous search, it was found in Lin Wei's servant's room, and Lin Jincheng and his son hadn't been in the capital for so many years. All the military camps they used were registered. This arrow could not be theirs. As for Lin Jinyu...
Master Yuan looked at the girl who was no more than fifteen standing under his eyes, she was weak and weak, she didn't seem to be able to arrange these things, even if she did it, there is no evidence.
"This..." Mr. Yuan looked at Mr. Xiong hesitantly, while Lin Jinhua took a step forward: "My lord, please find out the origin of this peacock feather arrow immediately."
Xiong Shuli frowned, Master Yuan could only say: "We will definitely investigate, but it will take some time." After finishing speaking, he changed the subject and stared at the attendant: "You said they confessed, but now there is no evidence to prove it. Do you know if you tortured me into tricks, or simply produced a fake certificate to fool me?"
The attendant secretly glanced at Lin Jinhua, without any fear, bowed and said, "My lord, these two people also admitted that the basement of No. 12, East Lane, West Suburb, is their secret base, and there are no fewer than 50 people in training. Your lord doesn't believe it." , let people know at a glance. Even if people can run, the underground training room that can accommodate 50 people can't run. If what Caomin said is true or not, you can know at a glance."
Mr. Yuan remembered what the people of King Ning had just said back and forth. Could it be that they were all talking about the same place?
Gao Zhi immediately said: "This is the place where the assassin's hiding place that my subordinates found out!"
Lin Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at Master Yuan: "Doesn't Your Excellency want to investigate?"
Xiong Shuli's idle state slowly put away, and he leaned forward slightly, staring at the attendant.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at Lin Jinhua indifferently, and then said: "Master Yuan's torture of Master Lin and Mr. Lin, is it not also a vain attempt to torture?"
"But the officer..."
"The king will record this crime first, and after the trial of the case, he will be punished. Master Yuan will continue to interrogate." Zhao Huaiyan said indifferently.
Lord Yuan felt a little guilty at this moment, King Ning was threatening him.
He gritted his teeth slightly, looked at Xiong Shuli, and then continued the interrogation.
Lin Jinhua turned her head to look at the sky outside, secretly worried about the eldest lady and Lin Xiyu, but she didn't know that their mother and daughter handled this matter particularly well today.
On the busiest street in the capital, Shun Fu Lai Tavern is the restaurant with the best business here. The upper and lower floors are full of princes and wives from various families.
Mrs. Dingnanhou wanted to go to the Lin Mansion to look for Lin Jinhua, but she also rested here when she couldn't find anyone. She was about to go up the stairs to the private room, but she was only halfway there when she suddenly saw Lin Xiyu screaming and running down the stairs.
Seeing this, Mrs. Hou stopped her and said, "What's the matter?"
Lin Xiyu's face was flushed, but she didn't dare to speak out. She pointed to the innermost room on the second floor and said, "There are... there are ghosts..."
"Ghost?" Madam Hou hurriedly clutched her stomach, but there was a group of onlookers downstairs, rushing over.
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Lin Xiyu said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, I'm going to invite Master to catch ghosts now."
Those young gentlemen are not taboo about this, and looking at Lin Xiyu's appearance, they only regarded it as a joke, nodded and walked forward quickly, knowing that for Lin Zisu in the room, there is indeed a ghost inside. '.
When she woke up dimly, she felt that something was wrong all over her body, her body was wet and sticky, and there was a strong smell of blood everywhere.In the past few days, she has been worried that her father's ghost will come back to find her, and now she is even more afraid.
The windows of the room were sealed, and it was pitch black everywhere. She barely stood up and groped and asked, "Is anyone there? Come, come!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of white silk suddenly floated down from the beam, and a man called her name in a low voice: "Zisu, my daughter, why did you kill my father? Go to hell with my father... ..."
"No, you're not dad, you're not..." She was so frightened that her whole body was cold, but she hurriedly shook her head to comfort herself.
But before he finished speaking, another gust of wind blew behind him, and the cold male voice came again, saying the same words.
She began to stumble and run around, but found that this was not her room, and the smell of blood in the room was also piercing her nostrils, and more and more white silks were floating down from the beams, as if they were going to hook her in the next second The neck is average.
"Don't, don't!" She screamed, shrinking in the corner in fright, a cold hand that came out of nowhere suddenly grabbed her ankle and started dragging towards the darkest place.
She broke down completely and screamed: "Let me go, Dad, let me go, I didn't mean to kill you, I didn't mean to..."
"Why did you kill me..."
The cold male voice continued to ask, the cold hands loosened her ankles, and the cold liquid began to spread from under her body.
She couldn't see clearly but thought it was blood, and her limbs were numb with fright.
"My head has been chopped off, it hurts so much, why did you kill me, why..." The cold male voice continued to whisper in her ear, with the coldest breath: "The eighteenth hell is good!" Terrible, Zisu, come and be my father..."
"No—!" Lin Zisu covered her ears and screamed, but was so frightened that she burst into tears: "It took me a long time to become Princess Jing, and it took me a long time to get ahead, and I was able to trample Lin Jinhua and Sanfang under their feet , I don’t want to die. Dad, please let me go, I didn’t kill you on purpose, but if you don’t die, they will never reuse me. If you don’t die, Sanfang will always be my stumbling block! Dad, don’t you also Do you think everyone in the third room is dead..."
She made a painful confession, hoping that Lin Wei would let her go, but she didn't know that the people outside the room who were planning to catch ghosts were all stunned.
Did Lin Zisu kill her own father?Still want to take the opportunity to kill the third bedroom of the Lin family?
Madam Hou didn't intend to approach, but when she heard this, her eyes lit up immediately, and she immediately asked someone to kick the door.
Lin Zisu was still in fear. When the door was kicked open, the room lit up instantly. She thought the blood in the room was nothing but water, and the smell of blood was nothing more than a pot of chicken sitting next to her. Blood.
She looked at the unbelievable expression on the face of the person who rushed in, and knew that she had been deceived, and immediately looked up to find the man who had just spoken, but when she turned around, she only saw a crazy man with disheveled hair bun.
She screamed and wanted to back away, only to realize that she only had a bellyband on her body.
"You..." She widened her eyes in astonishment.
Mrs. Hou has already turned her back in a hurry: "With no shame, the dignified Princess Jing dares to have an affair with a man here, it's really shameful!"
"I didn't..." She defended palely. Lin Xiyu, who had run away before, had already come back. Seeing her like this, she also pretended to be surprised: "Oh, why is it fourth sister!"
Madam Hou frowned and looked at her: "What's going on?"
Lin Xiyu just looked confused, and then the eldest lady next door also came, saw Lin Zisu, and took off her robe to cover her, so she couldn't bear to say: "Zisu, Auntie knows that you are not satisfied A man, how could he be with such beggars in broad daylight..."
When Lin Zisu heard it, she didn't know that she was tricking her, so she pushed the person away with red eyes: "You guys hurt me, you wronged me!"
The beggar was still mad, and said in a cold voice, "Zisu, Daddy died so badly..."
"Shut up!" Lin Zisu yelled, but the eyes of others looking at her could no longer be normal.
Mrs. Hou recalled what Huijue had said before, and she felt that Huijue was getting more and more excited: "Master Huijue calculated that you murdered your father early this morning. I never thought it was true! Now you are still disheveled here with a wild man, Lin Zisu, You are so shameless!"
"Mrs. Hou, I didn't..." She still wanted to argue. How could Madam Hou allow her to say more: "Come here, send him to Dali Temple, and then notify King Jing." If Lin Zisu was killed, she would not be able to sell Lin Jinhua's favor.But Huijue said that Lin Jinhua is a blessed person, and he might borrow her blessing in the future.
Mrs. Hou's calculations were very clear. Lin Xiyu and Mrs. Madam looked at each other and knew that the matter was over. She breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Lin Zisu being escorted away, and hurriedly disposed of all the clues on the scene, including the beggar.
Those who watched the excitement outside also went out non-stop to share their experiences. After all, Princess Tangtang not only killed her father, but also had an affair with a man.
Here in Dali Temple, Xiong Shuli has already produced evidence of treason.
"Lin Luzhi, this is your handwritten letter and seal, you can't say that anyone has wronged you." Xiong Shuli said coldly.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, then squinted at him.
Gao Zhi took a step forward, picked up the letter he had thrown on the ground, opened it and looked at it: "There is someone in Prince Ning's Mansion who can imitate handwriting and seals, and he can analyze the approximate month when this letter was written."
Xiong Shuli frowned, before Lin Luzhi sneered, "Who is this letter for?"
"Naturally, it's the enemy general whose life you spared." Xiong Shuli said firmly.
"Really?" Lin Luzhi looked up at him: "Then when did you give him this letter?"
"Looking at the content of the letter, it was last March." When Xiong Shuli said this, he hesitated a little.
Hearing this, Lin Jincheng also laughed out loud, and looked at him with a sneer: "If the prime minister wants to make evidence, he should do it all. Last March, Dad was far away in the northwest, thousands of miles away from the general you mentioned , even if you hurry up, it will be a month after the news is sent. How about the letter saying that there will be a surprise attack in three days, but it will be a month after the letter arrives. Who would be so stupid to send a useless message?"
Xiong Shuli's palms tightened slightly, Lin Jinhua looked at the servant of Lin's residence who was parked on the side, the servant nodded, and said: "Yesterday, Caomin also caught two people who spread rumors that General Lin was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country. After investigation, these two people are the prime minister. The servant of my cousin Xiong Mao. Now he is outside the residence, please pass it on to your lord."
Mr. Yuan raised his heart slightly, but Zhao Huaiyan had already said before he could say a word: "Biography!"
Xiong Shuli looked at the few remaining letters in his hand, and frowned heavily, Gao Zhi also asked someone to pass on someone who could imitate handwriting.
Not long after, two fat men with big ears were quickly brought in.As soon as the two of them came in and saw Xiong Shuli, they knelt down and begged for mercy: "Prime Minister, please help us, we just said something casually, and we were arrested by the Lin family..."
"Did you just say it casually? The dozen or so people waiting outside who often do this kind of business know very well." Lin Jinhua said calmly.
Master Yuan glanced at her, secretly surprised, it turned out that she had arranged all of this, if I knew she should have been arrested yesterday.
Xiong Shuli stared at the people under his eyes who were not doing enough to make things happen, and only secretly waited for Zhao Kan to come over.He looked at Zhao Huaiyan, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness Ning, don't forget the emperor's order."
"It's better for the prime minister to care about his official position." He looked at the imperial decree on the side, frowned slightly, and didn't say any more.
Lin Jinhua had already roughly guessed what the imperial decree was about, and only looked at his father worriedly. He had paid so much for Jinchao, and the final imperial decree would be the biggest blow.
At this time outside Dali Temple, Mrs. Hou had arrived with Lin Zisu.
He looked at the guards in front of the gate of Dali Temple, and ordered someone to come forward and pass a message: "My wife, Mrs. Hou, is asking to see King Ning, and there are important witnesses."
The people at the door were afraid of King Ning, and they didn't dare to play tricks anymore, so they went to spread the word immediately.
Lin Zisu was pressed down, her face was ashen. She never thought that the day of prosperity she expected had not yet come, but the day of death had arrived first, and it was only within a day.
Mrs. Hou glanced at her contemptuously, but she was unwilling to say a word to her. Seeing people coming out to greet her, she was just about to go when suddenly there was a rush of hoofbeats, and the maid beside her hurriedly Shouting to be careful, he pulled her back hastily to one side.
Lin Zisu also turned her head, and was overjoyed when she saw the person coming: "My lord, save me..."
Before she finished her last word, a cold sword directly plunged into her heart.
She looked at Zhao Kan in disbelief. The man who once looked at her with the most affectionate eyes and said he would marry her and love her had pierced her heart with a sword.
"My lord..." She was unwilling.
But Zhao Kan looked at her like a piece of rag, full of disgust and resentment: "Bitch, you should have died a long time ago, and now you have to dirty my king's sword!" Zhao Kan pulled out his sword mercilessly, and looked Blood spattered, and even the sword was thrown away.
Lin Zisu's eyes widened, her heart ached like a knife, but she could only collapse on the ground powerlessly.
She was still unwilling, she watched Zhao Kan jump off the horse and walked to her side, she stretched out her hand to him: "My lord..."
Zhao Kan looked at her indifferently, stepped on her wrist, and only ordered to others: "Lin Zisu has an affair with someone, get rid of the title of Princess Jing, and throw the body to the mass grave to feed the dogs!"
"No—" Even if she was divorced, she would still be the fourth miss of the Lin family. If she was thrown into a mass grave, she would never stand up again.
But Zhao Kan couldn't be bothered to look at her anymore, so he turned his head and looked at the frightened Madam Hou coldly, and sneered, "I didn't know Madam Hou was such a warm-hearted person before, and she helped me so much today. The king will definitely thank you in the future!"
Madam Hou swallowed her saliva. She did not expect that a person who usually looks suave and suave would be so vicious. He killed his wife as soon as he said he would kill him, and even threw him into a mass grave.
"Jing...His Royal Highness King Jing..." She murmured, and Zhao Kan had already snorted before turning his head and entering Dali Temple.
The maid next to her supported Madam Hou and said worriedly: "Madam, why don't we get involved and go back."
Madam Hou gritted her teeth and glared at her: "If you don't go now, you will not only offend King Jing, but also fail to please Lin Jinhua and King Ning. Wouldn't it be worth the loss?" Lin Zisu on the side of the road took a look.
Once the most beautiful and most beautiful woman in the capital, now her reputation has been ruined and she was abandoned by others, even murdered by her own husband.
Tears rolled down Lin Zisu's eyes, but she couldn't speak anymore.
Zhao Kan entered the lobby, and when he saw Xiong Shuli and Master Yuan with serious faces, he said coldly, "Isn't the interrogation over yet?"
Madam Hou followed in, looked at Zhao Huaiyan and said, "His Royal Highness Ning Wang, Lin Zisu herself said in front of everyone that Lin Wei was killed by her design, and has nothing to do with General Lin and his son."
When the old lady heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded: "How is it possible! Where is she, I want to ask her personally!" Said that the granddaughter killed the son?How is this possible, she doesn't believe it...
Mrs. Hou glanced at her indifferently, and said: "Everyone knows that she was discovered by everyone because of her adultery, and she was given a sword to death by King Jing at the gate of Dali Temple just now."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present shrank their eyes, and the old lady was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Xiong Shuli frowned: "Why is His Royal Highness King Jing so impulsive..."
Zhao Kan gritted his teeth slightly, and looked at Zhao Huaiyan: "Brother Dahuang said a lot of good things to my younger brother when he went to the father, and the emperor asked my younger brother to put aside the affairs of the court and return to the family to cultivate his character. Thank you, Brother Dahuang! "
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at him indifferently, tapped his fingers on the table slowly, and finally stopped until someone came outside again.
A man in black clothes and a goatee bowed forward and said, "Report to the lord, this letter is a forgery."
"En." He responded lightly, then turned to look at Xiong Shuli: "What evidence does the prime minister have?"
"Someone identified..." Before he could finish his sentence, someone from outside came in and whispered in his ear: "The witness has been silenced."
"how is this possible……"
"The Ninth Prince is leading Murong Yu and Murong Chen into the palace right now, Prime Minister, Empress Concubine De wants you to go into the palace immediately." The man continued.
When Xiong Shuli heard this, he stood up abruptly and stared at Zhao Huaiyan. After a long while, he sneered. "The lower officials knew that His Royal Highness Ning Wang is not a thing in the pool. Now it seems that it is really unusual."
Lin Jinhua looked at Zhao Huaiyan with a calm face, and then at Zhao Kan who showed a clear smile. It turned out that all this was not only for his father, but also to test Zhao Huaiyan's strength.Now it seems that they will not let Zhao Huaiyan go easily.
Zhao Huaiyan was very calm, and slowly opened the imperial decree in his hand, stood up and read out: "By God, the emperor ordered it. Although it is not true that the general Lin Luzhi communicated with the enemy, it is true that he spared the enemy before the battle." Unfaithful, but I thought that Zaiqing was born and died for the Jin Dynasty for 30 years, so he was exempted from punishment. In view of the constant slander of Aiqing and treason, in order to keep the court peaceful, I also thought that Aiqing was old, so I stayed with the general for a while. For the first position, the Tiger Talisman Seal will be handed in temporarily, and you can stay in the mansion for training."
Lin Luzhi's back, which had always been straight, finally bent, and he knelt down for a long time speechless.
Zhao Huaiyan glanced at it, didn't say any more, just looked at Lin Jincheng: "Young General Lin is extremely intelligent, he is indeed a great general, and he was promoted from a young general to a third-class mighty general, I respect you!"
Lin Jincheng knew that the emperor would make such a move, but he didn't expect to come to make peace at such a time, and took the opportunity to take away his father's military power.It seems that he has been promoted to a third-class mighty general, but he is just an official position guarding the city gate and has no real power.
He knelt down to thank him, and his disappointment was not written on his face.
Lin Jinhua glanced at all the people present, including the two princes and the high-ranking prime minister. No one got a good fortune, only the emperor became the fisherman who got the benefit.
Xiong Shuli saw that the emperor had already thought of a countermeasure, and knew that his position would be cut, so he looked at Zhao Kan and walked away.
The one who is most afraid of the rest is Mr. Yuan.I thought that I would make meritorious service this time, but I didn't know that the emperor had already counted everyone into the account.
He was about to get up when the clerk outside suddenly brought a box to him: "My lord, someone brought it specially just now and said that it must be handed over to you!"
Master Yuan suddenly had a bad premonition, he opened the box carefully, and when he saw the contents, his body softened immediately, and he sat down on the ground with blue face and red eyes.
"Did Mr. Yuan freak out because of the abuse of lynching?" Zhao Huaiyan slowly put away the imperial decree and looked at him.He usually looks indifferent, but sometimes he holds grudges very much, especially those who dare to hurt his woman.
Master Yuan hurriedly looked at Zhao Kan, but Zhao Kan just stared at him coldly: "Your Excellency is a smart man, there are some things that I don't need to remind you, right?" After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Jinhua, with the corners of his mouth curled up: "Miss Seven is really smart. If my future princess is as smart as you, that would be great."
"My lord was joking, the future Princess Jing will never be as smart as me." Lin Jinhua glanced at him indifferently, feeling cold in her heart, because your next wife will also be the one I give you!
Zhao Kan smiled deeply, looked back at Zhao Huaiyan, and walked away.
Seeing all this, the old lady almost collapsed, how could her Will be killed by Zisu?Zisu just became Concubine Jing, why did she die?
She looked at Lin Luzhi, stood up tremblingly and approached him: "Luzhi, mother..."
"Mother is tired, and it's time to take a good rest. From now on, the third wife has nothing to do with your first wife and second wife." Lin Luzhi was so indifferent to her for the first time, and also made up his mind for the first time.The world is unkind, and it is even more cruel to his poor daughter. Just now he called his mother for many years to insult them like this, how could he pretend that he didn't hear it.
He raised his head and saluted Zhao Huaiyan solemnly, then he took the iron chain that passed through the pipa bone with his own hands, and went out stubbornly alone.
Lin Jinhua watched her father leave, she couldn't say what she felt, but some people would not stop being a monster just because their father lost his military power.
She just turned her head and looked at Master Yuan coolly: "My lord has never thought that karma will be rewarded, and it is time to believe it. The beauty waited for you, but she lost her life for you."
"It's you..." Mr. Yuan remembered the severed hand in the brocade box, and looked at her in disbelief.
Zhao Huaiyan was already dissatisfied when he stared at Lin Jinhua's ferocious eyes, and said coldly, "Come here, Master Yuan abused his loyal ministers by lynching, took him down, pierced his lute bone, and beat him with another eighty lashes."
Master Yuan seemed to only feel the chill creeping from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, but he heard him say in a cold voice: "Master Yuan's crime is not worthy of death, after the execution of the sentence, please invite the imperial doctor to take care of you!"
Madam Hou at the bottom looked at Prince Ning, who had always been indifferent and indifferent, as if he was gnashing his teeth to take revenge, and her heart trembled.
She looked pitifully at Mrs. Lin who was still clenching her teeth and her eyeballs were still spinning around, and left in a hurry.
Lin Jinhua followed outside Dali Temple, and helped Lin Jincheng get into the carriage, but didn't follow immediately, and said, "Brother and father go first, I still have things to attend to."
"Okay." Lin Jincheng only said that his sister was not simple, seeing her burning eyes, he didn't say anything more.
Lin Jinhua watched their carriage go away, and finally her heart sank. She turned her head to look at Mrs. Hou who had come out, narrowed her eyes slightly, and stepped forward to meet her.
