Time passed in a hurry, July 29, because this year is leap June, so the weather has been completely out of the heat at this time, at least in the past few days, people have felt the long-lost cold.

The rain has stopped in the past two days, but the sky is still gloomy, just like the face of Yangzhou Zhizhou.

Recently, he has always heard rumors in the market that the murder of Liu Rui's family in the past few days is related to Su Lin, and he naturally does not believe that Su Lin did this - in fact, few people in Yangzhou will believe this rumor.

However, as the so-called "there will be no groundless things", this rumor is still somewhat grounded, that is, in the days when Liu Rui had an accident, he formed a bond with Su Lin, and someone saw Su Lin and Liu Rui arguing in Fenghai Building.

Just a few days ago, Liu Rui often ran to Su Ji, and in the end, I don't know why, Fenghailou had a white jade tofu brain, many people know Liu Rui's character, this white jade tofu brain is obviously from Su Ji.

Therefore, some people speculate that Liu Rui stole Su Ji's formula? So much so that Su Lin held a grudge and finally asked someone to kill Liu Rui?

The key here is the word "invite someone", which makes the evidence of Su Lin's alibi that night useless, which also makes Liu Yan not know how to dispel this rumor.

Now, in his opinion, the cause of Liu Rui's death is not the most important, but how to eliminate the influence of rumors on Su Lin, any rumors can ruin the reputation of a scholar, and even make an official who ranks in the first rank lose his black yarn hat.

From the time Su Lin first came to this world, he was framed, and he was not determined to be a murderer at that time, at most he was a suspect, and the voice of "Sven scum" could be seen that the rumors were terrifying.

And as a person who was attacked by rumors, Su Lin naturally knew how powerful public opinion really was, even in this world where word of mouth could only be passed on.

"It turns out that Cai An's purpose is to splash dirty water."

Su Lin felt the impact of this incident, and suddenly found that Cai An's calculations were really vicious, and under this interlocking, Cai An had successfully disgusted himself unconsciously.

Although these methods are low, and not many people believe in them, the people are stupid, so that they will cause Su Lin's reputation to be damaged, just like the world in his previous life, a public figure, was smeared.

Even if everyone knows that it is a rumor, it will inevitably cause him to lose a lot of reputation, and even confuse the truth with falsehood, and in the end it will become a fact.

It seems that Cai An did learn a lot of skills from Cai Jing.

With a sneer, Su Lin felt that he should discuss with Liu Yan.

The injury on his leg has begun to heal, but he is still a little lame when he walks, and he took a carriage to Liu Yan's house, at this time Liu Yan had just finished eating, and when he saw Su Lin, he immediately said:

"Wenbang, are you worried about the rumors in the market?"

Su Lin nodded and said: "This is just a trick used by Cai An, although everyone knows that this is just a rumor, but most people like hearsay, Uncle Shi has been an official for many years, and he should know the hidden dangers." ”

The two walked into the house, and Mrs. Liu poured tea for them, and sat down to embroider.

"Yes, but you said that this matter has something to do with Cai An?" Liu Yan was a little surprised.

He had a guess in his heart before, but he had already let Cai An go once last time, but he didn't expect him to still not restrain himself and hide in the dark to stumble Su Lin.

"It's not a secret, then Liu Rui has been in contact with Cai An."

Under Liu Yan's surprised gaze, Su Lin told the reason for the previous conflict with Liu Rui.

After listening to Su Lin's speech, Liu Yan muttered: "If he takes your signboard, he must want to use Su Ji to make your reputation stink, but listening to what you say, is Liu Rui's death also in Cai An's plan?" ”

"I think so." Su Lin could feel Liu Yan's anger at the moment, sighed, and said softly.

As Zhizhou, it is impossible for Liu Yan not to be angry, and Cai An is now becoming more and more unscrupulous, and it seems that he is not in his eyes.

Seeing this, Su Lin said: "Uncle Shi don't want to be angry, as long as there is no evidence, Cai An relies on his identity and background, what he is doing in secret, and he will not scruple about anything, but Uncle Shi, you and me, once you get into the trap at that time, I am afraid that it will ......."

Su Lin didn't say anything about his attack again, he didn't want Liu Yan to take someone to Cai An in a fit of anger, when the time came, once the secret contest was put on the surface, this matter was not just a personal feud with Cai An.

Cai An dared to do this, without Cai Jing's support, the ultimate goal may still be on Liu Yan, or even Zheng Gong, Su Lin is just the fuse in it.

Moreover, if it goes on like this, Su Lin will definitely be on Zheng Gong's side in the future, and Cai An will deal with himself, so why not have Cai Jing's shadow in it.

Perhaps, Cai Jing doesn't look down on Su Lin at all, and he doesn't care if Su Lin is a threat, what he cares about is using him to fight Zheng Gong and his party.

Therefore, Cai An instead expects Liu Yan to find him, there is no evidence, wronged a scholar, the future "pillar" of the country, Cai Jing will make another move, this Yangzhou Zhizhou, I am afraid there will be no place for Liu Yan.

"Tsk, this Cai An's wishful thinking is playing well." Liu Yan's face was gloomy, thinking about all this, and suddenly he had a feeling of anger and nowhere to go.

He is a bit upright by nature, otherwise, with his ability and connections, he would not be just a magistrate like Zhizhou at the age of forty, at least he would be a member of the imperial court.

Even the prefect of Kaifeng may be in the scope of consideration.

He tried his best to suppress his anger and said coldly: "Doesn't it mean that this case of Liu Rui's family being wiped out has to be suppressed?" ”

It is impossible to suppress the case and not report it, after all, this matter has caused a storm in the city, and the rumors are directed at Su Lin, and this is not Liu Yan's consistent style.

When the time comes, I'm afraid Surin will be in danger.

Cai An took advantage of this to attack Su Lin, and Cai Jing came forward to say that Liu Yan was derelict in his duties......

No matter what you do, it seems that you will get into Cai An - or the trap set by Cai Jing?

His mind was a little dizzy, and he felt much better after taking a sip of tea, looked at Liu Yan, and said: "Cai An's methods may not be so old and spicy, I can only say that the previous plan is from him, and the next trap is Cai Jing's business." ”

Speaking of this, Su Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he didn't recruit anyone to provoke anyone, just because he offended Cai An at the poetry meeting, and finally he became Zheng Gong's person inexplicably, so he had to face Cai Jing who covered the sky with one hand today?
