Chapter 383: Lin Ruhai's Death
"I'm uncomfortable, don't think about it!"
A hideous smile appeared on his cheeks, and King Zhongshun looked at everyone hysterically.
"Protect the Emperor!"
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and they rushed in the direction of the old emperor with their conditioned reflexes, but Jia Lian, who was in front of the emperor, saw that it was different from others.
"Queen Mother!"
Looking at the direction of the sword in horror, even before everyone could react, they saw the sword running through the queen's chest, and the hilt of the sword reached the skin.
"Bang!"
A heavy gunshot rang out, caught off guard, Jia Lian was frightened, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a sad smile on the corner of King Zhongshun's mouth, slowly falling down from the steps, and then rolling to the main hall.
Turning around, the musket in the old emperor's hand was smoking, and the old emperor's arm kept shaking.
And the queen has no breath.
"Queen Mother!"
With a miserable sorrow, the princess who married a woman staggered forward, and her face was already full of tears.
Although he held great power and killed people with his own hands, Jia Lian couldn't help but tremble when he looked at the corpses in the main hall.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, everyone looked at this terrifying scene in horror, Yin Shanzhi saw the opportunity, and quickly snatched the weapon of the dragon rider next to him, and immediately took down the head of the leader of the Royal Forest Army.
"What are you waiting for! Don't hurry up to protect the emperor! ”
Scolding sharply, the dragoon Wei and everyone looked at the Imperial Forest Army beside them, and they all looked at each other.
It's just that Yin Shanzhi kept talking in his hands, and before anyone could react, there were already several heads in his hands, and they were all powerful people in the hands of the former Zhongshun King.
Yin Shanzhi's current identity is Qianhu, and his current actions are also instructed by the emperor and crown prince.
Originally, the intention of the king of loyalty was to hide the secret of the dragon rider Wei Yigan and others to put pressure on the family.
But the crown prince asked Yin Shanzhi to bring all the people to the main hall.
With the article of carrying weapons into the palace without summoning, there is a sharp blade hanging on the heads of these families!
The king of Zhongshun is dead, the leader of the Royal Forest Army is dead, the dragons are leaderless, and the people whose morale has been wiped out are still thinking of resisting at this moment.
It's just not just about that.
His eyes were red and he looked at the queen who was lying on the ground, and the old emperor turned his head to look at the people who had been beaten powerlessly on the main hall.
"The Seven Princes inherited the cadres, who were rebellious, disloyal and unfilial, and were demoted to the common people on the same day!"
The old man's voice sounded, looking at the anti-thief who had laid down his arms and no longer resisted, the emperor's voice became louder and louder.
"You must not be buried in the Yellow Tomb, you will be an accomplice, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!"
The last loud shout shook everyone hard.
Yin Shanzhi was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Xian, who was already kneeling on the field, and wanted to say something, but his mouth moved, but he didn't open his mouth after all.
The rest of the people also seemed to know that they had no way to live, and they didn't beg for mercy, and immediately seemed to have the mentality of dying together, and they took up arms again, but now they didn't have the power to parry at all, whether they were facing the dragon riding Wei or the prince behind.
The warm color that used to be bright and colorful became bloody in the sound of piercing the flesh, and the sweet smell between the nose spread from the tip of the nose to the throat, to the stomach, to every part of the body!
No other sounds could be heard in his ears, Jia Lian's throat kept surging, and he looked at the indifferent emperor blankly, looked at Lin Ruhai with an indifferent face below, and looked at the relaxed or proud faces below.
Jia Lian suddenly felt that all this was so terrifying.
This is not what he wants.
Throughout, it wasn't.
"Fu Zhen back to the palace."
The emperor's hoarse and tired voice sounded in his ears, and Jia Lian slowly turned his head, a hand trembling with old age spots.
"Yes."
Speaking numbly, Jia Lian didn't know how he helped the emperor back, and what the emperor told him.
By the time he came back to his senses, he had already returned to Rongguo Mansion, and Qin Keqing was looking at him with tears in his eyes and worry.
"Master, don't scare me."
Pulling and matching the opening, Qin Keqing touched Jia Lian's face, and his face was full of horror.
"Palace, how's it going?"
Somewhat silent, Jia Lian's mouth moved slightly, and he opened his mouth gently.
Qin Keqing saw that something was wrong with Jia Lian, and originally thought that Jia Lian had been poisoned or injured somewhere, but who knew that he called the doctor, but he said that he was very healthy and had nothing.
Finally, Jia Lian came back to his senses at this time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly wiped his tears with a handkerchief and choked twice.
"In addition to the Situ family and the Cui family, the Wei family and the Qin family who participated in the other party, when we left, we were ordered by the emperor to copy the house, and the palace was imprisoned, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army was the eldest son of Wei Shangshu, and the Zhongshun Wangfu copied the family, and copied out the Qin family's account book, it turned out that the Qin family has always secretly helped the king of Zhongshun to do things, and the king of Zhongshun used to be salt in order to collect money, and then he was cut off from the financial route by the lord and Aunt Lin, and he had the idea of wine, and the grain in many local grain depots was misappropriated by him, and it was new grain."
Hurriedly told the truth what he knew, Qin Keqing looked at Jia Lian puzzled.
Previously, because of Jia Lian's orders, she had been with Lin Daiyu, but later she saw that it was wrong, so she hurriedly hid with Lin Daiyu.
And those just now were passed on by Lin Ruhai after leaving the palace, in order to let Jia Lian have a number in his heart.
It's just that Jia Lian looked like that just now, where did he listen to it.
Wine? Grain?
Jia Lian suddenly thought of the batch of grain from Dai Quan and Xiaoyuanzi a few days ago, and his heart sank.
Unlike the imperial grain in the hunting grounds, the grain stored in the local grain depots was usually used for military supplies and disaster relief.
And the king of Zhongshun has been so mad that he used the local grain depot, which is really punishable.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Jia Lian rubbed his temples tiredly.
"Rest, send someone to pick up the old man and Brother Chang early tomorrow morning."
Sending them out was because they were worried that things would get out of control, and now that the situation is under control, it's not good to be known in this way.
"Yes, I'll go myself tomorrow."
Tucking the corners of his eyes, Qin Keqing nodded.
She still has lingering palpitations about the mutiny in the palace, and now she still doesn't know if there are any remnants of King Zhongshun outside, but this mansion is safer.
After a night of silence, Jia Lian half-squinted his eyes, and didn't squint for a while until dawn, but before he could sleep, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
"Second master is not good, Aunt Lin is gone!"
The originally muddy brain woke up suddenly, and Jia Lian didn't even have time to get dressed, so he rushed out and grabbed the collar of the visitor.
"What did you just say?!"
"Second master, Aunt Lin is gone, and the people of the Lin family are at the door."
No less than Jia Lian's shock, Xing'er pointed to the door.
"Come in!"
Raising his voice, Jia Lian got up and stared at the visitor with burning eyes.
This person Jia Lian knows, he is really the little guy Lin Ruhai is used to, and the godson of Steward Lin.
"Second Master!"
There was a loud bang when he entered the door, and the eyes of the person who came were red, and he lay on the ground and choked up.
"My lord is gone."
A handful of snot and a handful of tears, the child, who was not very old, cried unscrupulously at this time.
Staggering two steps uncontrollably, bowing his head in disbelief, Jia Lian gritted his teeth.
"What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly!"
Although he had been in a daze yesterday, he still remembered that he was still with Lin Ruhai when he left the palace, but Lin Ruhai's face was not very good-looking at that time, and if he was more detailed, he couldn't remember it anymore because he was absent-minded.
After sobbing twice, the little guy looked up, his face full of hatred.
"It's Jia Yucun, we were waiting at the gate of the palace yesterday, the lord came out with you to hunt down Jia Yucun, saying that there was a mutiny in the palace before, Jia Yucun didn't know when to get out, so he wanted to chase him, but he was caught, and Jia Yucun excused himself to atone for his crimes, saying that there was still a secret to be alone with my master, and the result, the result was ......"
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but cry, and the little girl's voice was already hoarse.
Qin Keqing had also changed his clothes and came out of the back room at this time, he was shocked when he heard this, and when he saw Jia Lian hurriedly going out, he hurriedly pulled someone to put on his clothes first.
"Master put on the clothes first, I'll go and arrange for the carriage and horses to pick up the old lady in the alley."
Nodding, Jia Lian gritted his teeth, hurriedly put on his official uniform without saying a word, and then hurried to the Lin Mansion first.
Yesterday was too chaotic, he clearly remembered that he still saw Jia Yucun at the beginning, the palace was full of turns, the place was big, and yesterday was such a scene, almost one-sided slaughter, how could Jia Yucun escape from the palace.
While riding a horse and galloping, while thinking, Jia Lian was confused.
The sky was white, and by the time they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Lin Daiyu was already unconscious, and the Lin Mansion was crying.
"Miss had already fainted when she got the news, and she didn't wake up yet."
Speechless and choked, Steward Lin's face was pale, he was already old, and now he looked even older.
Fortunately, the Lin Mansion usually has strict rules, so even at this time, although the entire mansion is a little scrambling, it is not too chaotic in the end.
Ignoring anything else, Jia Lian walked towards Lin Ruhai's room first, the room was full of the smell of blood, and Lin Ruhai was lying on the bed with a blue face and a dagger in his chest.
"It was the lord who took the initiative to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, the lord hated him, how could he let him live, so when he was caught, someone notified the lord as soon as possible, and it was okay to do it directly, forgive the god of Jia Yucun, who lied that he was willing to atone for his sins, and when my lord approached, just. I stabbed our master directly. ”
Steward Lin gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Ruhai lying on the bed, his fists clenched tightly.
Although Jia Yucun was killed by their people on the spot, Lin Ruhai was stabbed in the heart, and he just ordered someone to call Jia Lian, only saying that he would ask him to take care of the affairs in the future, and he would not have time to leave other last words.
So now she didn't even hang the white flag, Lin Daiyu was unconscious, just waiting for Jia Lian to tell what to do.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"
Without waiting for Jia Lian to speak, a sharp voice unique to eunuchs sounded at the door, and when he looked up, Steward Lin looked out of the door.
"I sent someone to the palace to spread the word, and now this animal in Jia Yucun killed the master, and he must be buried with his whole family!"
With a gloomy opening, Steward Lin did not hide the disgust on his face at all.
went out to greet him, the prince grabbed Jia Lian, who was about to salute, and walked to Lin Ruhai's bed in three steps and two steps.
It's just like what Jia Lian saw just now, Lin Ruhai's appearance is really terrifying.
The official mansion on his body has turned dark red, and the bedding is also full of blood stains, his face is pale, his lips are purple, if he reaches out and touches it, he will find that Lin Ruhai's whole body is stiff at the moment.
"Where's Princess Anping?"
Taking two steps back, the prince sighed and turned to speak to the butler.
The emperor in the palace already knew about Lin Ruhai's death, he was not in good health, after the stimulation like last night, the emperor's mental state was extremely poor today, and as soon as the palace door opened, it was Lin Ruhai's death again.
As far as Lin Ruhai and the emperor are concerned, they are not so much courtiers as friends.
Lonely ministers for decades, few people can do it.
At the beginning, Tanhualang, who was a dignified Yushu Linfeng, for his orders, moved his family to Yangzhou to be demoted to the imperial history of salt patrol.
And in order to be his errand, first his youngest son, and then his wife.
In the end, he even lost himself.
The emperor knew that a courtier like Lin Ruhuan was enough, and it was even more rare.
After that, there were no more such courtiers.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, my young lady is overly grieved, and she has fainted at this time."
Speaking sadly, Steward Lin choked twice, but he didn't dare to be as presumptuous as in front of Jia Lian.
For the crown prince, Lin Ruhai is the emperor's favorite minister, and he is a powerful courtier, so he naturally wants to try his best to get close, even if Lin Ruhai is dead now, but Princess Anping is still there.
Lin Daiyu is because of Lin Ruhai's relationship or because of her own intelligence, and now she is walking in the palace, from the Empress Dowager to the concubine, almost everyone loves her, and she is even more spoiled.
So when the prince came, he was also afraid that Lin Ruhai would be saved in case, so he specially brought the royal doctor to come, and he could just treat Lin Daiyu at this time.
It's just that heart disease still needs heart medicine, and Lin Daiyu is now overly sad and fainting, which is also a reminder from her body. So that she could lock herself in that little shell and never have to accept the news that suffocated her.
"Let's go with the royal physician and take a look."
Speaking to Jia Lian, the prince bowed to the royal doctor who was waiting on the side.
Lin Daiyu's body was earlier because Jia Lian asked her to take some time out to run every day, so although Lin Daiyu looked weak at this time, she was actually quite healthy, so although she had fainted, her body was fine.
The girl's boudoir was originally according to normal procedures, and even the doctor couldn't even see Lin Daiyu's face. It's just that the matter is urgent at this time, so an exception can only be made once, but the protective measures that should be in place are also done seamlessly.
Therefore, the busiest thing around the crown prince Jia Lian has passed, and he can personally stay in front of Lin Daiyu's bed at this time.
Lin Daiyu is a standard lady, so she doesn't understand many things.
A thick curtain, a brand new bedding, and only a white jade-like arm stretched out, the royal doctor was already in shock at this time, and it was estimated that he could get those. Hurriedly took out a handkerchief from the medicine box and put it on Lin Daiyu's wrist, and then carefully checked the pulse.
Although it has been said before that he killed his own family, he can't just let her cooperate.
