The person who came was the same year as Lin Ruhai, and now the teacher of the Lin family, Peng Shixing.

The two spied in Lin Ruhai's study for a long time before Lin Ruhai got up and sent Peng Shixing away.

After Peng Shixing left, the study returned to silence. Lin Ruhai sat quietly at the desk, staring at a small cyan lotus-patterned porcelain vase on the desk, with a dazed expression.

The small porcelain bottle on the table looks very ordinary, it is the style that can be seen everywhere on the street, and the texture is also ordinary. However, it is this small porcelain bottle that looks ordinary, but the things inside are very extraordinary-it is the one that can be saved. Jia Min's life-saving medicine.

Lin Ruhai didn't know until now that his career was not easy in the same year, and the people behind him had a lot of history.

To be honest, if Peng Shixing could take out this bottle of medicine earlier, even half a day earlier, Lin Ruhai would be ecstatic, and no matter what Peng Shixing's purpose is, what the people behind him want, I am afraid he will have to accept it. His love.However...Lin Ruhai recalled what happened this afternoon...

But this afternoon, Mrs. Liu went to rest for a while, and then waited for Jia Min to be fed the medicine, then rolled up her sleeves, cleaned her hands, and gave Jia Min an injection.

Lin Ruhai and Daiyu Xuanyu waited anxiously, not daring to take a breath, for fear of disturbing Mrs. Liu, and it was half an hour after Mrs. Liu finally finished the injection.After Mrs. Liu pulled out the last needle, Jia Min frowned in pain, but spit out a big mouthful of black blood.

The three of them were shocked, and rushed to Jia Min's bed, Lin Ruhai especially, grabbed Mrs. Liu's sleeve and asked, "What's wrong with my wife? How could she spit out black blood?" Daiyu and Xuanyu were also worried. He looked at Jia Min and then at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu wiped the sweat off her face, she was already dripping with sweat, she waved her hand, and without speaking, she picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank it in one gulp, ignoring the cold.

After drinking the tea, Madam Liu finally sighed comfortably. Seeing the anxious eyes of the three people, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you spit out this mouthful of black blood, Madam Lin's illness will be half cured. This time the acupuncture was very successful." , insist on applying it twice and it will be fine.”

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai was still a little skeptical, but when he looked at Jia Min's complexion, it was as Mrs. Liu said, his complexion improved greatly, and there was some anger on his once pale face, so he believed it, sincerely Xie said: "Thank you Madam for helping me out." After pondering for a while, he couldn't let go of Jia Min's black blood, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what disease my Madam is suffering from? This, why... ...."

Madam Liu didn't answer directly when she heard this, she just asked: "Does Master Lin really want to know?"

Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "What's Madam's intention? Of course I want to know. Could it be that Madam is inconvenient to tell me?"

Daiyu and Xuanyu also looked at Mrs. Liu with the same doubts, their two almost identical little faces tilted their heads together, and their big eyes were full of curiosity.

Mrs. Liu felt that her old problem was about to recur again, so she coughed lightly: "It's not impossible to say, but please, Master Lin, wave back to the left and right." Then she added, "Young Master Lin and Miss Lin also please avoid .”

Lin Daiyu and Lin Xuanyu were full of dissatisfaction, so they begged to stay.

However, they were driven away by the ruthless adults on the grounds of business, and Lin Fu, the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, acted as the door god himself, guarding the servants who were walking around and not letting them approach.

Seeing that only they and the unconscious Jia Min were left, Lin Ruhai said solemnly, "Madam, please tell me, is there anything unusual about this?" But he was a little uneasy in his heart, always feeling that things might go beyond his imagination .

Seeing Lin Ruhai's calm face, Madam Liu touched her chin and said meaningfully: "Madam Lin is not sick, but poisoned."

Lin Ruhai was stunned, but before Lin Ruhai digested the news, Mrs. Liu threw another shocking thunder: "Not only was she poisoned, but the source of the poison was unusual. Other doctors might not be able to diagnose it at all. They only think that Lin Ruhai Mrs. Lin has a strange disease, and Mrs. Lin probably went there without knowing it, but I just happened to know about it." Madam Liu raised her index finger and pointed to the sky, "It comes from the noblest and most noble disease in this world. Nowhere to be seen."

Seeing Lin Ruhai's complexion changed drastically, he then explained: "The poison and antidote are probably there. I once... I happened to know about this poison, but it was difficult to prepare a relative antidote for a while. Acupuncture combined with decoction to force out all the poison from Mrs. Lin. This is why Mrs. Lin spit out that black blood, if Mr. Lin doesn't believe it, you can find something to try the poison of the black blood."

Lin Ruhai's heart was turbulent, and he couldn't believe it: "Madam, are you sure? You can't talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Liu said indifferently: "Why should I lie to you, you and I have never known each other before, I only acted for the sake of Dahong and Xiaopangdun'er, if I was not afraid that you would get involved in some bad things in a daze, I was lazy to say these things because I got involved with Little Fatty, Master Lin, let's think about it more."

Lin Ruhai saw that Mrs. Liu's expression was calm, but he was not guilty. He was also a person with many years of experience in the officialdom, and he could see that Mrs. Liu's eyes were calm, and she did not seem to be lying. He looked at the pool of blood on the ground.

Lin Ruhai felt sorry for him. He was the patrolling salt censor in charge of Jiangnan salt administration, and the Jiangnan salt field involved many complex forces. Salt merchants, officials, princes, and even princes of all sizes wanted to step in and bring down the prince. , after the throne of the Supreme Emperor, all kinds of struggles and calculations seemed to be silent, but in fact they turned into the dark, becoming more and more complicated, and it is unknown when they will break out of the ground.

At the beginning, before he took office, he had high ambitions and wanted to clean up the Jiangnan Salt Farm. However, the longer he served as an official, the more powerless he became. It is sent to Beijing every year, and the rest should not be moved rashly.

Later, Lin Ruhai had two children, a lovely wife and young children, and he had successors, so his heart gradually faded, and he even wanted to leave Jiangnan. After a while, Lin Ruhai also knew the Emperor's thoughts, and dared not say any more.Since he took office, he has indeed blocked the way of many people, and he has been stumbled by many people in the officialdom, but it is all based on his own ability. Like this, poisoning behind the scenes like this, involving innocent wives and children For the first time, it was too much...

"But..." Lin Ruhai said in a nasty voice, "What does this have to do with Min'er, she's just a backyard woman, why didn't she come after me?"

"How do you know it wasn't aimed at you?" Mrs. Liu asked, "Although the poison is invisible, it is not immediately fatal. According to Mrs. Lin's symptoms, the time of poisoning should be before January. There will be headaches, weakness and other symptoms, and the poison will officially occur after a month. Mrs. Lin, why not think about what happened a month ago, maybe Mrs. Lin accidentally blocked you, and I will check you by the way Are the people in the Lin Mansion really reliable?" After speaking, Mrs. Liu blessed herself, ignored Lin Ruhai who was stunned, and left directly.

When passing by Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai suddenly asked: "Knowing the secrets of the palace, having such medical skills, and being able to form formations, what is the origin of Madam?"

"This has nothing to do with Lord Lin." Mrs. Liu nodded slightly, walked past Lin Ruhai, and went out.

After going out the door, she saw a short figure jumping quickly, the speed was too fast, Mrs. Liu only saw an afterimage, but looking at the figure and clothes, she was very familiar.

Mrs. Liu: ...

Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Fu who was arranged to guard the door from a distance away.Lin Fu was looking around seriously, not noticing that a little mouse had just slipped away from under his nose.

Forget it, Madam Liu looked back to see Lin Ruhai who was still in her thoughts, she shrugged her shoulders and left irresponsibly without reminding her.

Lin Ruhai went back to his study after talking with Mrs. Liu. He needed time to calm down. He had to recall carefully what happened a month ago, and he had to check the servants of Lin's mansion carefully. Just when he was troubled, But it ushered in a low-key visit from Peng Shixing at night.

Peng Shixing's visit suddenly made Lin Ruhai's confused thoughts clear. If you say that before, Lin Ruhai didn't dare to fully believe Mrs. Liu's words, and there were many other guesses. However, after meeting Peng Shixing, he was enlightened. up.

What Peng Shixing said may not be all true, but he should indeed be the person of the current emperor. As for the purpose, it is easy to guess. Although the emperor is in Zen, it is only a last resort. Tang, if the Holy Majesty does not want to be an emperor forever, he will naturally take action.The Jiangnan Salt Administration, whose tax revenue alone accounts for half of the national treasury, and the complicated Jiangnan officialdom, are closely related to both of them, and Lin Ruhai, the salt inspector who is loyal to the Supreme Emperor, naturally became one of his goals.

Peng Shixing's visit this time, while proving his identity and taking out the antidote, also hinted that the person who poisoned him probably came from the Nine Princes faction who had inextricably linked with the Jiangnan officialdom before, and now King Gongshun.As for the Supreme Emperor, he was already dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai, a former confidant who seemed to be about to retire.

"If Brother Ruhai doesn't believe it, you can check it out. Your Majesty can't bear to see Brother Ruhai's husband and wife separated, and the child loses his mother, and even more can't bear to see such a good man of the country who doesn't know why and is kept in the dark. Hurry up and send people to send people to understand the medicine, and let Bucai tell Brother Ruhai all the truth. Brother Ruhai, you and I met each other in the same year, and it’s a coincidence. I really don’t want to see you go astray. It’s still the world of the Holy One.”

Peng Shixing's words were very polite and pleasant, and he also explained his worries about Lin Ruhai's future. However, "I don't know Brother Peng back then, but it was really a coincidence?" Lin Ruhai asked, looking directly into Peng Shixing's eyes.

Peng Shixing did not avoid Lin Ruhai's gaze: "It was indeed a chance meeting at the beginning, but later Brother Ruhai invited him into the mansion because of the trend, but it is not a lie that I have known the mansion for the past two years, I really took Brother Ruhai As a friend, I don't want Brother Hai to continue making mistakes like this, at least I have to think about my wife and Daiyu Xuanyu, especially Xuanyu's aptitude is extraordinary. It is also under the rule of the current emperor. What's more, today is the supreme emperor's seat, and the name is justified. Brother Ruhai is loyal to the current emperor. I hope Brother Ruhai will make a decision as soon as possible."

Lin Ruhai knew very well that this was a wooing and temptation today, and it was also a threat. If Daiyu hadn't found Mrs. Liu, she would definitely accept the life-saving grace this time... However, even if there was What can Mrs. Liu do?

Lin Ruhai smiled wryly, even if he knew that people today might just sit back and watch Jia Min get poisoned, and he didn't give him the medicine until he was powerless and most desperate, so what could he do?It was as if he knew that the Supreme Emperor might already be dissatisfied with him, at least he was willing to make a move now, but he also knew that his patience might be reaching its limit now.

Although he was dissatisfied with Peng Shixing, Peng Shixing was right about one thing. The emperor was too old. This time, Jia Min was poisoned. The emperor did not respond, or he didn't know it at all, or he knew it but did not act. If the former, it can be seen that the emperor's power The decline of eyes and ears, if the latter...

Lin Ruhai came from the Lin family in Gusu. Before the Supreme Emperor took the throne, he had always been kind to the Lin family, and later married the daughter of Duke Rong. He has always been in the line of the Supreme Emperor, and has always been loyal. Although he has the intention of retreating, he never slacked off on the emperor's errands when he was in office.

Now, Lin Ruhai knows that he has to make a choice, the imperial power is supreme, and he is just a pawn drifting with the tide under the struggle of several parties. He doesn't care what will happen to him, but he has to arrange the way out for his wife and children.

This night, the lights in Lin Ruhai's study in the Lin Mansion were lit all night.
