[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Chapter 44 The Emperor's New Clothes

After careful inspection by the guards, three footprints were also found on Lin Ruhai's body.

When the guard reported the result to Emperor Qisheng, he looked at Lin Ruhai with subtle eyes: "Ahem... Well, Lin Aiqing, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not."

Lin Ruhai: "..." Could it be that he, as a courtier, can still refuse the emperor's question?

He nodded helplessly, "If I know, I will know everything."

The corners of Qi Shengdi's mouth turned up suddenly: "The paw print on your body... how did the mouse press it?"

No wonder why he was so gossip when he was an emperor, it was really because the positions of the paw prints that the mouse pressed on his body were a bit subtle.

Back waist, lower abdomen and left chest.

Not only him, the emperor, but even the other ministers looked at Lin Ruhai very curiously.

If all this was really done by a mouse, maybe the mouse really became a spirit, right?

Someone was thinking silently, looking at Lin Ruhai teasingly.

Qishengdi, as a face dog, naturally observes things from this angle.Therefore, he was almost the first among everyone present to figure out why the mouse didn't stamp on the faces of Lin Ruhai and Ji Ru, but on their bodies——

No way, the face looks good!

Not to mention Lin Ruhai, Tanhualang, the most handsome Jinshi in this subject, but Ji Ru, who is already past his age, his face is also very pleasing to the eye.

If not, before Ji Ru passed the Juren examination, the rich merchant's daughter would not have taken a fancy to him as a poor boy, and would have insisted on marrying him.

As for why the paw prints on Ji Ru's body were quickly found near the shoulders, but the paw prints on Lin Ruhai's body were hidden so deep...

The face value is high or low.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai is twenty years younger than Ji Ru, and humans and mice also have aesthetics.

As for the others?

Emperor Qisheng's gaze flicked over them, and he quickly averted his eyes.

Although Ji Ru's appearance cleared up some of Lin Ruhai's suspicions, but at the same time, people couldn't help turning their attention to Jia Daishan again——

Not only did Lin Ruhai not have the conditions to do this, but he was also one of the victims, so there was no way he could be the murderer.

But it was a fact that other people bullied Lin Ruhai, and after careful questioning, I found out that Ji Ru did not bully Lin Ruhai, and even gave him help occasionally.So, would someone want to teach others a lesson, but in order to clear the suspicion of Lin Ruhai and Ji Ru, they did it to them?

Although the appearance seems to make sense, but apart from Emperor Qisheng, everyone including Jia Daishan believed that the murderer would attack the group of the Imperial Academy and treat Lin Ruhai and Ji Shuchang differently because of the first Two reasons.

The first reason is too unreliable.

Emperor Qisheng: "..."

You don't understand...

When ordinary people see Lin Ruhai's face, they may not be able to give him a few paw prints that cannot be washed off. What is the difference between that and directly disfiguring him?

However, no one at the scene understood Qi Shengdi's thoughts, and he could only sigh in his heart, pretending that he agreed with other people's opinions.

Because of this, Jia Daishan, who had military power and manpower, and was close to Lin Ruhai, instantly became everyone's first object of suspicion.

Jia Daishan: "..." Why didn't that evil ghost slap me on the face?

Jia Daishan once again felt the evil spirit's malice towards him, really...

He was about to lose his temper by the successive revenge.

The suspicion shifted to Jia Daishan, but Emperor Qisheng had no interest.

Let's not talk about whether Jia Daishan did this thing, whether he would risk being suspected by himself to do such a thing that would expose his strength, but it was obviously just a prank.Even if he did, so what?

At this time, everyone pays attention to the fact that the son-in-law is the son-in-law of the Yue family. You group of people bully a young man disrespectfully, why don't Lin Ruhai's half-father look down on it and teach them a lesson?

Emperor Qisheng waved his hand, that's all for the matter.

His courtiers were reprimanded but the murderer was not found, and he hadn't disappointed him when he found out that his courtiers were so miserable that they would do things that violated the code of conduct because of some jealousy.

Unfortunately, there are too many people who commit crimes.

Although Emperor Qisheng really wanted all these Hanlins to go back to eat his own food, but thinking that there would be no substitutes in the future, no one would be able to do the work in the Imperial Academy, so he could only "magnanimously" let these Hanlins go.

However, they left a very bad impression in the heart of Emperor Qisheng, and their future official careers will inevitably be more bumpy.

There are many people in this group of Hanlin who have defected to other forces. It is a pity that Emperor Qisheng has such a clear attitude, and no one is willing to spend a lot of money to cultivate a group of Hanlin who have no future at all.

Not to mention the actions of this group of people, it has indeed refreshed the three views of these ministers who have been in high positions for a long time.

It's not that you can't target someone in isolation, but the premise of doing so must be when the interests are large enough——

It's just a position of attendant, it's not worth letting a group of promising future elders do it.

"Let's go!" Qi Shengdi turned around, "Dai Shan followed."

Jia Daishan: "..." The Imperial Academy has made such a big commotion for you to see, why haven't you forgotten that I lost my beard?

But no matter how much he complained in his heart, Jia Daishan could only follow along obediently.

Although the others were also preparing to leave, they obviously couldn't pass Qishengdi at this time, so they retreated one by one to make way.

Emperor Qisheng went first, followed by Jia Daishan.

Originally, everyone was bowing down to send Qi Shengdi off, but Ji Shu often knelt uncomfortably, and looked up at the back of Qi Shengdi going away.

Then, his eyes fell on Jia Daishan's butt, and he never looked away.

He not only looked at it by himself, but also pulled down Lin Ruhai's sleeves, and whispered to him: "Lin Shidu, is there a hole in your father-in-law's official robe?"

Lin Ruhai didn't react for a while, and looked down at him carefully: "What do you mean?"

Ji Shuchang was anxious: "I said, there seems to be a hole in the ass of your father-in-law's court uniform!"

Lin Ruhai: "..."

Fortunately, Ji Ru has been deliberately lowering his voice, so his words did not attract the attention of others.

But the meaning of these words is too scary, okay?

He raised his head abruptly, his gaze turned to the back of Jia Daishan who was walking beside Qishengdi, and then, similarly, his gaze seemed to be glued to Jia Daishan's ass, and he could no longer move away.

The trousers Jia Daishan is wearing today are ivory white, which are particularly conspicuous.As he flickered as he walked, the color of his trousers was exposed through the not-so-big hole, and it kept moving in front of Lin Ruhai's eyes...

Lin Ruhai was obviously wearing the court clothes of the previous court, but several hours have passed since the last court, so it is impossible that no one noticed that his court clothes were different during this period, right?

Even if other people were really attracted by other things, they didn't find any problem with Jia Daishan's court clothes.But when he went to court, it was impossible for the person standing behind Jia Daishan to miss him, right?

It is necessary to bow to salute in court, and Jia Daishan bowed...

Just thinking about it, Lin Ruhai knew how dazzling the whiteness was in the eyes of the person behind Jia Daishan.

However, Jia Daishan has no scruples now, and he probably doesn't know about the hole in the back of the court dress...

Lin Ruhai was so entangled, let him just watch his father-in-law walking around in front of people in this court uniform, his conscience was really disturbed.But now the situation does not allow him to step forward to remind Jia Daishan...

Before Lin Ruhai finished tangling, Qishengdi and his party disappeared.

Lin Ruhai: "..." Forget it, he should pretend he didn't see it.

He turned his head to look at Ji Shuchang, and found that his expression had also returned to calm, as if the person who was eager to remind him just now was not him.

That's right, even if you know about this kind of thing, the best way to deal with it is to pretend you didn't see it.Otherwise, if you meet a narrow-minded person, but hold a grudge against you because of your reminder, is it a loss?

I just feel a little sorry for my father-in-law...

But on the way back, such thoughts gradually disappeared.

Lin Ruhai, as a person who was trampled in the face by a group of mice in the Hanlin Academy, and a party to the previous official bullying incident, although he knew not as much information as Jia Daishan, he knew a lot more than others.

In the beginning, he trusted Jia Daishan because he quickly fulfilled his pre-marital promise; and because he was Ruo Sang's father, Lin Ruhai naturally had a good impression of him, so he didn't notice anything wrong for a while.

But after thinking about it now, I feel that Jia Daishan's various situations today collided with the Hanlin Academy incident, which seemed inexplicably coincidental.

As if it was done by the same person.

But in the Hanlin Academy incident, Lin Ruhai could clearly feel that the "murderer" had good intentions towards him.

But if he had good intentions towards him, why did he also attack Jia Daishan?

Thinking of my experience of being targeted by my colleagues during this period, it seems that it started when he was promoted as a waiter...

Lin Ruhai couldn't help shivering, feeling a little shuddering.

"Ruhai, are you being too careful?" After hearing Lin Ruhai's words, Mother Lin had a different opinion, "There is nothing else to do in the officialdom, and you really shouldn't trust Rong Guogong completely. After all, the Jialin and Lin families are married. , but it’s not as close as the four big families in Jinling, and Rong Guogong must not trust the Lin family enough.”

"But it's not necessary if you treat Duke Rong as an enemy in the future."

Mother Lin really doesn't understand the affairs of the court, but the complexity of the backyard fights is often much less peaceful than that.

"Although I don't know what Rong Guogong's plan is, but based on the relationship between the two families, he can't really let you have an accident!" Mother Lin replied decisively, which calmed Lin Ruhai's heart very well.

On the other hand, Jia Shu, who was sitting on the side, had been scratching his head with his abacus, and had never commented on the conversation between the mother and son.

Lin Ruhai pouted: "Why don't you care about your husband?"

Jia Shu waved his hand: "Husband, don't make trouble, I'm busy."

I don't know what's going on, but the sales of Makeup Pavilion this month have dropped by half.

After carefully checking the account books, Jia Shu discovered that many of the original VIPs at the Makeup Pavilion hadn't sent anyone to buy rouge and gouache this month, and most of them were royal family members.

She squinted her eyes and gradually had an idea in her heart.
