Warriors in the Red Chamber
Chapter 83 A Blood Letter Introduces an Old Case
Lin Hai's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.Sure enough, the emperor took the blood-colored clothes and looked at them for a while, and his face changed drastically.
Lin Hai didn't know what was written on the bloody coat, and he hurriedly pointed his eyes to Situ Rui, but Situ Rui didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but turned a blind eye to Lin Hai's wink.With a calm and relaxed look, Lin Hai was so angry that he wanted to step forward and beat him a few times.
Seeing that the emperor's face was so ugly, Lin Hai took a step forward and was about to ask, but Situ Rui blocked him calmly. He poked Situ Rui fiercely to try to get him out of the way, but it was a pity that Situ Rui didn't do it. Moved.
Just when Lin Hai and Situ Rui were competing, the emperor had finished reading the blood book, put it away, turned around and saw the movements of Lin Hai and Situ Rui, and suddenly felt blind. , since we are here for fun.
Probably because the emperor's eyes were too warm, Lin Hai felt something was wrong first, turned his head to meet the emperor's eyes, poked Situ Rui's hand and immediately retracted it, feeling an urge to cover his face, accidentally threw him to the palace. It's all Situ Rui's fault, thinking like this, Lin Hai stared at Situ Rui fiercely, then quickly lowered his head and looked respectful.
The emperor was a little speechless by Lin Hai's actions. Isn't Lin Hai always very smart, and now he has seen it and is hiding something, isn't it interesting?
Turning his questioning gaze to his younger brother, who was not at all considerate, sure enough, Situ Rui lost the interested look just now and just raised his eyebrows indifferently: Do you have any opinions?
The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched and he turned his head. He didn't ask you if he had any opinions. I'm not stupid and I sent it up for you to laugh at.
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of bringing up the matter of the blood book, Lin Hai didn't want to ask any more, so he could only follow the emperor back to the imperial study, but he didn't want the emperor not to mention it before, but the place was wrong, and the emperor ordered all the cabinet ministers to be sent as soon as he sat down. Shangshu and even the people in charge of the Dudufu of the five cities were found.
Seeing such a big move by the emperor, Lin Hai's previously relieved heart was suddenly raised again. It is not good to directly ask the emperor about the blood letter, so he can only pick up a side question.
"Your Majesty, the search for the palace is almost done. Do you think it's wrong for the family members of the court to stay in the palace for a long time? Do you want to let them out of the palace first?"
"Well, Lin Qing's words make sense, but Chen An, you passed the decree to let the family members leave the palace first, and then go to the empress and tell her what I mean, let Concubine Xiande be confined first!"
After Lin Hai listened to the emperor's words, he didn't mind the first one, but the latter one was a pause. Situ Rui was deeply afraid that Lin Hai would rush towards Lin Hai to intercede for Concubine Xiande.
Lin Hai just sighed in his heart, how could he be so indiscriminate.Concubine Xiande is only in confinement, so it seems that the matter of the blood book has little to do with their Lin family.Lin Hai was so happy, but unfortunately everything proved that he was too happy too early.
When the six ministers and all the cabinet ministers arrived, the emperor took out the bloody book he had kept, and Lin Hai circulated it with everyone, and was shocked when he saw it.Busy kneeling down, sweating profusely.
Every one of the important courtiers present wished that he didn't exist, and seeing this, no one dared to say a word.
The emperor looked at everyone's performance with cold eyes and was not in a hurry, but said indifferently: "All the gentlemen have finished watching, let's talk about it!"
Unable to figure out the true meaning of the emperor, and the matter involved the emperor, how could these fine people dare to say a word, and after looking at each other, they all became dumb.
Don't say that the emperor is still alive and well, even if the emperor is really great, few people dare to poke such a thing.Thinking that all the adults here are as miserable as eating Coptis chinensis.
Many people looked at Lin Hai kneeling on the ground and gloated about his misfortune. What was he doing like this? The kneeling one was really in bad luck. It was difficult for the Lin family to get out.
Unlike other people who watched with cold eyes, Su Ze and Lin Hai were naturally worried about him because of their differences in feelings. Seeing the situation, he had to grit his teeth and stand up and said, "Your Majesty, this blood book does not represent anything. Your Majesty, please think twice about the relationship between father and son." After speaking, he knelt down with Lin Hai.
Some people took the lead, and those who were vacillating found their direction. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether this matter is true or not, it's better to suppress it.Thinking like this, many people knelt down again.
It is a general statement that there is no real evidence for this matter, but it is a frame by someone with a heart.
"It's framed by someone with a heart, and it's a joke to separate the relationship between father and son in the heavenly family. How can the relationship between me and the emperor be separated so much? You people eat the king's salary but don't know how to worry about the king. You only know the words of flattery. I will leave you to return it." What are you doing!" After hearing the words of the crowd, the emperor not only failed to follow the trend, but was furious.
The rest of the people were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and begged the emperor to appease his anger. Those who were clever immediately understood that the emperor wanted to investigate the matter, so they hurriedly said: "What your majesty said is true. If such an unjust case is not investigated, it will be more trouble for your majesty." In an unworthy place, the intention is really hateful, please His Majesty order to investigate this matter thoroughly, and feel that no guilty person will be spared."
Who are you who said this is Shangshu of the Household Department, Xiao Shangshu, the uncle of the second prince.When he said this, his eyes glanced at Lin Hai's direction.
Lin Hai kept his head down and didn't make a sound, but Su Ze and Situ Rui saw it.When everyone was kneeling before, Situ Rui still stood in the corner as if nothing had happened, but he didn't attract everyone's attention. He was always worried that Lin Hai would feel uncomfortable if he knelt for a long time. When I went back, I saw that someone actually wanted to frame my family, Ruhai suddenly became angry. Is it the Minister of the Household Department? I wrote it down.
Xiao Shangshu still didn't know that he had offended a person who was narrow-minded enough not to offend, seeing the emperor's face softened a little after hearing his words, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, please ask your majesty to seek justice for the person who died unjustly."
Su Ze couldn't understand Xiao Shangshu's words, and was also afraid that it would really lead to a purge of the court. He sneered, "Who are you asking for justice from? Xiao Shangshu, you are trying to provoke the father-son relationship between the Emperor and His Majesty. You have bad intentions."
Now that Xiao Shangshu's words have been spoken, he is not afraid. How much of the father-son relationship between the emperor and the emperor is beyond their ability to guess as courtiers, but their Xiao family is properly on the side of His Majesty, so it is not necessary to talk about it. He picked it up, didn't he?
"Master Su is really a leader and assistant in vain. He even shielded the guilty for his own selfish desire and allowed innocent people to suffer wrong. I, Xiao, am really ashamed to be an official in the same dynasty as you." These words are serious. , Su Ze's face immediately became ugly.
Seeing that something was wrong, other people rushed to speak up. For a while, the imperial study room was almost like a vegetable market, but Lin Hai never said a word, whether it was Xiao Yan's insult or Su Ze's protection, he didn't make any moves.Right now, he is cursing fiercely in his heart that Situ Rui's unreliability is such an important matter since he is hiding it from him.
If he was really scared when he saw the blood book at the beginning, but when he knelt down and didn't hear Situ Rui's voice, he knew something was wrong. Thinking about Situ Rui's abnormal behavior before, he immediately understood this. He knew part, if not all, of a thing.
But even if he was sure that nothing would happen to his family, Lin Hai still couldn't help sighing. Thinking of what was said in the blood book, he really hoped that it wasn't true. His father came forward to make a false accusation when Prince Loyalty fell. Willing to believe.
Just when Lin Hai was thinking wildly, everyone was already arguing with each other in full swing, and seeing that they were about to use force, the emperor coughed twice to signal for these years to pay attention.
When everyone came back to their senses, they knelt down again and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty is sorry for your disrespect."
"Your family is also guilty of thinking about the court. What else do you want to say now?" The emperor just watched for so long and got what he wanted.
Sure enough, I only heard Su Zejin say: "Your Majesty, it is too hasty to convict a crime with just a blood letter. Why don't you hand over this letter to Dali Temple for re-examination, and return the innocent person who died unjustly, but that's not the way to go." Drag innocent people into the water."
The emperor nodded to express his satisfaction. Seeing what Xiao Yan wanted to say but didn't intend to listen, he said, "What does Qing Lin think about this matter?"
Everyone never imagined that the emperor would ask Lin Hai what he meant. If the things on the blood book were true, it would be a minor crime for the Lin family to raid the family.
Only then did Lin Hai straighten up slightly and said calmly, "Return to Your Majesty, this matter involves my father, I should avoid it and dare not say more."
"It's okay for Lin Qing to speak bluntly, I forgive you for your innocence."
Lin Hai kowtowed his head to thank him and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just said it bluntly. Although he said that someone was wronged, the truth may not be what was said in the blood book. My father is loyal to the country and dare not have the slightest disloyalty. Your Majesty has learned from you." After speaking, he kowtowed again.
Xiao Yan showed dissatisfaction and was about to say something, but was pulled by his side to signal him to look at His Majesty's expression, and sure enough, he saw that the emperor was not angry.
Lin Hai continued: "Since your majesty wants to retry this case, you can't just say it. Since it involves royal affairs, it's better for Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Longtingwei to try this case together, so as to avoid mistakes and omissions."
Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were fine, but Lin Hai actually brought Long Tingwei into it, and all the officials were shocked. It was nothing more than what should be done if Long Tingwei took action to repeat the old things of the past.Because the official who had previously agreed to retrial didn't look too good.
The emperor smiled when he heard the words: "Lin Qing's words are reasonable, since that's the case, I will follow what the Qing family said. But..." The emperor was interrupted by Situ Rui before he finished speaking.
"Brother Huang's matter is so important that Lin Hai has the final say. He is the person involved, so he should avoid suspicion. It's better to let him meditate at home, and I will definitely take good care of him for His Majesty. I will take him back now, and please discuss this matter with the emperor and the ministers again." Situ Rui's words caught everyone by surprise like a thunderbolt, what is re-discussion, what is quiet thinking.
But before everyone came back to their senses, Prince Zhongrui had already pulled Lin Hai away in big strides, without turning his head.
