The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 28 Speaking of Su Lan, the Lin family and...

Speaking of Su Lan, the Lin family and Liu Xing had an agreement. When the Lin family returned to Suzhou, they picked seven or eight girls who were about the same stature as Su Lan and had good looks to take with them.Some of them behaved more flamboyantly and brought them with them when they went out to socialize; some of them were quite mysterious, and they hadn't been seen since the day the Lin family got into the car when they returned to Suzhou.

These falsehoods are nothing more than attracting people's attention. During the time when Lin's family stayed in Suzhou, Liu Xing would find an excuse to go to Beijing with his family.It is a very simple strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain, but often the simple strategy is effective.It was nothing more than the fact that the Lin family caught Zhen Yingjia's heart of fear. Zhen Yingjia was afraid of Lin Ruhai, so he would put a lot of thought into staring at Lin Ruhai.Zhen Yingjia didn't take Liu Xing seriously, so he would naturally ignore Liu Xing.

Besides, the most dangerous place is the safest, and it has never changed since ancient times. Liu Xing set off directly from Yangzhou to Beijing, but Zhen Yingjia would ignore him more and more.

It took Su Hanshan a lot of effort to send Su Lan to Suzhou. He invited a saint to reward him with such an amulet. Who would have thought that Su Lan would return to Yangzhou?Isn't this a sheep into a tiger's mouth?

With the simple adjustment of the tiger away from the mountain and the grasp of Zhen Yingjia's psychology, Su Lan really followed Liu Xing's family and set off from Yangzhou to escape from the tiger's mouth.

However, did Su Lan really overthrow the evidence of the Zhen family in one fell swoop?

"I don't know if Miss Su has solid evidence." Jia Min worried.

Lin Ruhai didn't say a word, just judging from his expression, it was obvious that he also had the same worry.

But Daiyu was much more calm, and said: "Father and mother don't have to worry too much. If Sister Su really has nothing, staying in Panxiang Temple will be the safest. Since she is willing to go to Yangzhou with Master Liu, she is also willing to go to Beijing with Liu Langzhong , no matter how much evidence is in hand, there is always some evidence."

Jia Min thought of Su Hanshan's dignified third-rank official who died in such an unexplained manner. The court has not given an explanation so far, but he only feels that the Zhen family's power is overshadowing the sky. He still frowned and said: "I just don't know Miss Su's evidence. Is it enough?"

The dispute between Lin Ruhai and Zhen Yingjia, on the surface, is a dispute over salt tax, and Lin Ruhai's fight against corruption is justified, but in fact this matter is a dispute between the East Palace and the second prince.As long as the struggle rises to a certain level, it will be zero-sum, either the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind.It's not unreasonable for Jia Min to worry that if Zhen Yingjia can't be defeated all at once, the Lin family will suffer instead.

Daiyu was much calmer than her parents. At this time in the previous life, the crown prince had suffered a crushing defeat. In this life, the siege of the Iron Net Mountain was at least a small victory, so why not be satisfied.Besides, Daiyu felt that the battle between Iron Net Mountain was the winner between the crown prince and the second prince, and the most dangerous hurdle of the Lin family had already passed.

"Mother is worrying too much, we have help now." Daiyu said.

As soon as these words came out, both Lin Ruhai and his wife looked at Daiyu together.

Daiyu's expression did not change, she said in a calm tone as if she was asking what to eat tonight: "I said before that Fan Shi's hostility towards me was not born out of thin air. In Cheng'en's mansion, I was targeted because Fan Shi couldn't hold back his anger. Then, I'm afraid this one in the capital will suffer a lot." Daiyu still made a nine in her hands.

Lin Ruhai could also think of what happened next, and suddenly realized.But he wanted to see what kind of field his daughter could see, so he didn't say anything, and let Daiyu continue to talk.

On the contrary, although Jia Min is smart, she is not as thorough as Lin Ruhai in seeing this kind of officialdom involving the court. She hasn't recalled it for a while, so she looks at Daiyu's small face and listens to her continue.

Daiyu went on to say: "If this person is lost, we must bring a bigger one to surround Wei and rescue Zhao. The Zhen family's private salt case is a ready-made shield. Just wait and see, as long as this person also has something about the private salt case The evidence will be brought out in due course, and the Zhen family will be wiped out." The person Daiyu said still refers to the Ninth Prince.

Not only that, but Daiyu was sure that the Ninth Prince must have evidence that the Second Prince was involved in the salt smuggling case.In the previous life, it was the prince who fell first, and the one who benefited from the fisherman was the Ninth Prince.But Emperor Taizong abdicated, not died, and there is a lot of knowledge in it.

There can be many reasons for abdicating, such as physical reasons, such as being discouraged, or even being banned.But Jiao Daiyu said that Emperor Taizong should voluntarily abdicate when he is sober, and he still has certain rights after he abdicates.The new emperor began to eradicate dissidents only after the death of the Supreme Emperor.

Then, when Emperor Taizong was sober, why did he choose the Ninth Prince between the Second Prince and the Ninth Prince?It can be seen that the Ninth Prince could hold his breath until that time before presenting the evidence against the Second Prince to the imperial court.

The present Ninth Prince fell in Iron Net Mountain, but he was forced to play the hole card in his hand first.Therefore, Daiyu is sure that the Ninth Prince will take the initiative to help the prince.It's not that the Ninth Prince has so much affection for the Prince that he has to protect himself.

Jia Min was born in the Duke's Mansion, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes. Although she didn't think about the benefits and harms as early as Daiyu, she still heard clearly.I secretly sighed in my heart that my daughter's intelligence is transparent, let alone not like ordinary children, even those who have been in officialdom may not be able to compare with her.

After Daiyu's analysis, Jia Min felt relieved.

The days that followed were quite peaceful, because at the governor's mansion, Daiyu protected Lin's daughter's face, and she and Lin Yuzhu also got along quite well, so Yuzhu came to the mansion to play for a few days.

Daiyu gave gifts of Polygonatum odoratum, as well as needles and threads of two colors. On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the two sisters bid farewell, and the Lin family packed up their things and returned to Yangzhou;

Among the group of people who came to Beijing, there were girls who were similar in stature to Su Lan, but who didn't show up very much. They were escorted to Beijing by Lin Zhong, and brought along with them this year's Dragon Boat Festival.

As for the Songjiang mansion, Liu Zheng also sent a group of people to Beijing to pay respects to Liu Guogong's mansion and other relatives and friends.

Liu Zheng and Su Hanshan were both officials in Quanzhou, and they had a close relationship; Lin Ruhai was Su Hanshan's successor as the inspector of salt and censor, and Zhen Yingjia kept a close eye on these two.These two groups of people were closely interrogated almost every city they left until they left the border of Jiangnan.

As for Liu Xing, he and his family entered Beijing on the eleventh day of the first lunar month.Because they set off from Yangzhou City, as Lin Ruhai and his daughter expected, Zhen Yingjia was negligent in letting them go.

The Lin family and their party arrived in Yangzhou on the day of the Lantern Festival. While they were cleaning the house and setting up the utensils, they had already made arrangements to watch the lanterns at night.

The next day, the yamen reopened for business.In order to continue misleading Zhen Yingjia, the Lin family sent someone to Baoqingtang early in the morning to ask someone to see a doctor for Jia Min.

Liu Xing handed over the Baoqing Hall to his younger brother Cheng Langzhong to take care of it, and now there are only a few doctors and shopkeeper apprentices left. Although the door is still open for business, he said that the old lady of the Duke's Mansion is not feeling well, so he specially invited the owner of the hall to Beijing Diagnosis, I don't know when I will come back.He also said that Langzhong Liu had already told Langzhong Cheng about Mrs. Lin's illness and the medicine she used to take before leaving. If Master Lin believed it, Langzhong Cheng would go to see Mrs. Lin. Also please be smart.

Cheng Langzhong was the disciple of Liu Xing's father, and his medical skills were in the same line as Liu Xing's, so the Lin family naturally switched to Cheng Langzhong.

With the excellent cooperation of singing and writing, Lin Ruhai also paid close attention to Zhen Yingjia's situation, but he didn't hear the news that Su Lan was arrested.However, Lin Ruhai also got the letter about what happened in the Weishan Mountain paddock.

Talking about the hunt in Iron Net Mountain is quite thrilling, but the whole situation is different from the previous life, and we have to start with the family letter that the East Palace got last year to rectify the family style of the Lin family.

Lin Qing got the letter from his brother and knew that the only son in the brother's family would be fine, but when he learned that the two servants in the Lin family had problems, one was brother Yu who was the big maid, and the other was the dowry of the brother's wife, so he discussed with the crown prince, this time to bring Those who go to Iron Net Mountain not only need to check the recent appointment, but also check the cronies who have been hired for many years.

Since the prince passed away after the Yuan Dynasty, only the superficial beauty was left, but in fact life was quite difficult, knowing that there was nothing wrong with being careful, so he even checked the cronies around him.There are not many people who do bad things, just one or two trusted people are enough. After this investigation, it was found that the trusted guards around the Prince and the guards around the Ninth Prince had close contacts, and these two guards were from The Zhong Family of Cheng En Gong's Mansion.

The prince is born of Empress Zhong, and the birth mother of the nine princes, Concubine Zhong, is Empress Zhong's youngest sister. If it was before, the prince would not be suspicious of his family, but the bad things happened to his wife and younger brother's house, because of the dowry slaves brought by his wife's clan body, so the prince followed his trusted guard to investigate.Only then did I learn that my trusted bodyguard had colluded with the bodyguard of the Ninth Prince.

It's not a great strategy, the original plan was that the prince's trusted guards agreed on which direction to shoot the Emperor Taizong with cold arrows, but the ninth prince's trusted guards rescued him.In order for the cronies of the Ninth Prince to accurately defend Emperor Taizong from cold arrows, the two guards also agreed in advance that the cronies of the prince would first use a mirror to reflect a beam of sunlight.

In ancient times, there were no telescopes, sniper guns and other equipment, but there were similar snipers.Of course, the weapons used by snipers in ancient times were bows and arrows, and mirrors can also be used as auxiliary aiming equipment.

The assassins who ambushed Emperor Taizong here brought enough ambush equipment, and even shot cold arrows at the emperor; the nine princes' trusted guards were extremely alert, and they were able to save him by reflecting light from a beam of mirrors. It was a seamless plan.

However, because the crown prince captured his cronies first, after forcing him to come up with a plan, he did not show his face, and still went to Iron Net Mountain with his cronies and guards in a mighty manner.After arriving at the paddock, he ordered someone to tie up the trusted guard, gag him, and hide in the tent, but sent another trusted guard to pretend to be the guard and act according to the plan.

That day was sunny and sunny, Little Concubine Zhong was waiting beside Emperor Taizong, talking about the old story of her first time driving on Iron Net Mountain, Emperor Taizong recalled the pride of the year, so he straddled his horse and bowed his bow, and wanted to end in person.There are a large number of guards behind him, and the Ninth Prince also brought his cronies to go hunting with Emperor Taizong.

According to the prior agreement, the personal guards of the Nine Emperors saw a cold light flashing in the forest in the distance, told the emperor to be careful, and threw themselves on Emperor Taizong to protect Taizong's vitals.

The accident came suddenly, the Ninth Prince shouted for escort, and Emperor Taizong's accompanying bodyguards also lined up to wait.

Then an embarrassing thing happened, no assassin appeared, let alone cold arrows, flying stones and hidden weapons.On the contrary, Emperor Taizong was old, and a strong man threw himself on him at this prominent change. Emperor Taizong backed away nervously, and flashed his waist.

The Ninth Prince's confidant bodyguard hurriedly got off his horse, knelt down and kowtowed like garlic, shouting that he was too nervous, and his eyes were wrong.At the same time, cold sweat rolled down the guard's temples.Others can be faked, but the cold sweat is real.

Naturally, Emperor Taizong failed to hunt, so he hurriedly summoned the accompanying imperial doctor, and all the guards guarded Taizong back to the camp.After the examination, Emperor Taizong was fine. He massaged with some medicinal wine for relaxing tendons and promoting blood circulation, followed by acupuncture and moxibustion.

The Ninth Prince's trusted bodyguard is named Zhong Sheng, who is Mrs. Fan's brother.

Although Zhong Sheng claimed to be loyal to the emperor, he acted disrespectfully because of his misreading and his eagerness to save him. In the end, he was beaten and fined, and sent home to contemplate behind closed doors.Zhong Sheng is a side branch of Duke Cheng'en's mansion, and the Zhong family has a queen and a concubine. It is for the sake of the crown prince and the Ninth Prince that Zhong Sheng was not convicted of attempted assassination, but because Zhong Sheng is the Ninth Prince's Followed closely, and the Ninth Prince was reprimanded for it.

Donggong was quite dissatisfied with this handling. Zhong Sheng was an old man on a job, so logically speaking, such a mistake could not have happened, but Donggong also resisted the confrontation with the Ninth Prince's Mansion after all.Now that Jiangnan is still fighting in full swing, fighting on two fronts is taboo.

What happened in Iron Net Mountain, and the guard who made the mistake was an offshoot of Duke Cheng'en's mansion. Naturally, the second prince would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so before the hunting team returned to Beijing, the crown prince, the second prince The prince and the nine princes fought secretly.The other princes and princesses also contributed their own efforts.

The so-called companion is like a tiger, which is probably the case. As long as someone catches a small mistake, a group of political enemies will surround him, wishing to drink his blood, eat his flesh, and beat his opponent forever.And those who make mistakes are even more desperate and will do anything in order to save themselves.

As the final victor in the previous life, the Ninth Prince would not just sit and wait for death just because a guard made a mistake. As Daiyu expected, the Ninth Prince secretly promoted the progress of the salt smuggling case in order to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

The Crown Prince, Second Prince, and Ninth Prince each have influence in the south of the Yangtze River, so they naturally passed on the news after returning to Beijing.Because the Lin family went back to Suzhou for the New Year, they deliberately downplayed their connection with the capital to mislead Zhen Yingjia, but they were the last to get the news.

When Fan Guangxi, the Political Leader of Suzhou, got the news, he was taken aback. When the husband and wife were discussing, Fan Shi heard one ear, but Fan Shi didn't hear it all. , and deliberately troubled Daiyu at Governor Yao's mansion.

Zhen Yingjia of Jiangning Weaving also got the news.Zhen Yingjia himself is cruel and ruthless, and he has a good way of making money. The housekeepers also have real talents. At that time, his adviser Luo Fushan said to Zhen Yingjia: "My lord, this time the Ninth Prince will definitely also secretly push the East Palace to investigate private affairs in order to escape. For the salt case, the master needs to make more preparations, and must find the orphan girl of the Su family."

Zhen Yingjia didn't know this truth, so they sent more people to watch Liu Zheng and Lin Ruhai, and the people they sent into the capital also searched carefully, but they couldn't find Su Lan's whereabouts.

In Xunyan Yushi's Mansion, Lin Ruhai threw the letter from the capital into the charcoal basin, and said, "The time has come."
