The next day, in the palace.

The emperor sat in the imperial study, listening to the reports of the people below, his face full of anger.

After the other party finished speaking, he slapped one hand directly on the table, and shouted angrily: "How can this be reasonable!" How do you do things? Unexpectedly, someone with a heart spread this kind of rumor! ”

"Your Majesty, this matter is really an accident......" The subordinate knelt below, his face full of wrongs, and stammered: "These rumors spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital overnight, which really caught people off guard. ”

"Rubbish!" The more the emperor listened, the more angry he became, as soon as he went to the early court, he heard the courtiers say the rumors outside, saying that there were people everywhere who were rumoring that he was bullying the heroes, and if this continued, he didn't want the prestige of being the emperor!

He scolded angrily, and then he was really angry, and swept all the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and author on the table to the ground, and at this moment he couldn't wait to copy the Lin and Wei families, and then arrest the rumors behind them to punish the nine clans!

The subordinate was so frightened by his angry appearance that he didn't dare to speak, and only after listening to the lecture did he tremble and ask, "Then, the emperor, what should I do next?" ”

"Check it out! Go and arrest that rumor-monger for me, I want to see people alive, and corpses when I die! The emperor continued to roar angrily, and at the same time did not forget to open his mouth and order: "Also, no matter what you do, suppress those rumors as soon as possible, if you don't see results in the next few days, don't want your head!" ”

"Yes!" The man was frightened by the emperor's words, and when he heard this, he quickly responded, turned around and retreated, for fear that the emperor would arrest him out if it was too late.

After the emperor finished roaring, the qi in his heart dissipated, and he gradually regained his senses.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that no matter who the rumor-monger behind it was, it would be useless to find out, which could only suppress the rumor for a while.

If the other party can spread it for the first time, he will definitely be able to send someone to spread it for the second time, and the person who spreads the rumor will not be able to catch it, and it will only make his reputation as an emperor worse and worse.

I still have to find a way to deal with Lin Wei and the two families as soon as possible, so that we can do it once and for all.

Something like that, he didn't want to hear it a second time!

Thinking in his heart, the emperor opened his mouth and summoned: "Come on, pass on my will, Major General Lin Mo is active in the court on weekdays, hard-working, and his quality is really amazing, and he is given a hundred taels of gold, ten boxes of jewelry, and a hundred pieces of cloth." ”

……

And on the other side, Lin House.

When the eunuch took the holy decree in his hand and read the contents aloud, soon a guard with boxes of jewels and belongings in his hands rushed in.

Lin Mo looked at the boxes that almost filled his yard, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Major General Lin, take the order." The eunuch on the side pinched his sharp voice and shouted the words "Qin this-" after finishing it, and then looked at Lin Mo and said.

"Minister, take the order." At that time, Lin Mo was still half-kneeling on the ground, and when he heard this, he stretched out his hands and took the holy decree in his hand, and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen." ”

"Major General Lin, the emperor has been very gracious to you, and these rewards, congratulations." The eunuch slowly walked up to him, smiling and complimenting, his voice indistinguishable from male and female.

Lin Mo didn't have much heart to deal with him now, he reached out and took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and handed it over: "Father-in-law said that he laughed, I still have some things to do, so I won't entertain my father-in-law." ”

"Ai!" The eunuch looked at the silver ticket in his hand, his eyes were straight, he quickly responded, and said with a smile: "Then our family won't bother Major General Lin, and we will go back to resume our lives first." ”

"Father-in-law walks slowly, don't send it." Lin Mo had no expression on his face, and spoke silently.

He looked at the back of the eunuch leaving, and knew very well in his heart that this emperor's inexplicable commendation also represented the unveiling of the confrontation between the Lin and Wei families and the emperor.

After all, he had heard a lot of rumors outside, and the emperor rewarded him at such a time, so he was really angry.

Now, he is just barely maintaining the surface peace, just waiting to peel off this last layer of skin.

"It's time to make a move...... Lin Mo muttered in his mouth, and ordered his subordinates to prepare horses and go to the Wei Mansion to find Wei Yun.

He told the other party about the emperor's reward as it was, and then said: "I don't want to be so passive, I am thinking about secretly supporting the new emperor to ascend to the throne, and I came here to discuss countermeasures with you." ”

If this continues, both of them will be in danger, so they need to act as soon as possible.

And Wei Yun is very smart, he wants to hear the other party's opinion.

"You're right." Wei Yun listened and nodded approvingly, it is naturally good to take precautions, otherwise if they fall into passivity in the future, it will be difficult for them to retreat.

She thought about it in her heart for a while, and then she spoke: "But after all, I am thinking about supporting the next lord of the world, and I must be cautious and cautious...... First of all, we must make sure that the person we support does not have a grudge or other dissatisfaction with us, otherwise when we help people to the throne in the future, it will be the day of our destruction. ”

"Hmm." Lin Mo nodded lightly in agreement, then raised his eyes to look at Wei Yun and motioned for the other party to continue.

When he listened to Wei Yun's words, his expression was very serious, and his eyes were casually staring at the other party without moving half a minute.

He always felt that Wei Yun's serious analysis of the appearance had a different kind of attraction.

"Then it's time to consider that person's character, the superior needs to be kind-hearted and understand the people, but he must be ruthless when he should be ruthless, otherwise he will not be able to govern the government well if he is too benevolent." Wei Yun eased up for a moment and continued, choosing the person to support, in addition to the other party should be good to them, but also for the people.

They want to support, and they also want to support a benevolent monarch who can govern the world well.

"That makes sense." Lin Mo nodded, looking at Wei Yun with a few more appreciations in his eyes.

She is such a strange person, and it is amazing that a little woman can have such an opinion on this.

The advice given by Wei Yun was very important, and after listening to it, Lin Mo thought about it in his heart, searching for suitable candidates among the people he knew.

He doesn't know much about all the princes, but it is absolutely impossible to let the crown prince succeed to the throne smoothly in the first place, not to mention that he is scheming, and being a monarch is a disaster for the people.

Just because the other party framed the two of them, there was already a grudge between them, and for the sake of Wei Lin's two families, the two of them could not let him succeed to the throne smoothly.

"That's right," Lin Mo was silent for a long time, and then suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "That third prince seems to have a good personality, although he hasn't had too much contact, but just from a few meetings, it can be seen that he is humble and polite, maybe he is a suitable candidate." ”

At least among the few princes he could think of, the third prince was the most suitable.

"Since you're not familiar with it, you can't make up your mind so quickly." Wei Yun nodded, groped her chin and said, "Let's observe for a while, anyway, this matter is not in a hurry, and then we will recognize the other party's people and then make plans." ”

"Hmm." Lin Mo nodded.

While the two were talking, they saw Lin Mo's subordinate suddenly walk in and reported: "Master, there are already clues about the matter you asked your subordinates to investigate. ”

"Say." Lin Mo bowed slightly.

"My subordinates found a girl named Yu Niang according to that jade pendant, that girl is a doctor, and her relationship with the scar man seems to be extraordinary." The subordinate respectfully arched his hands and spoke, his tone calm.

The two glanced at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes.

The next moment, Wei Yun turned his head to look at the subordinate and asked, "Where is Yu Niang's medical hall?" Let's put it to the test. ”

……

When they walked to the infirmary, it was noon, and there was no one, so the two walked in together, and soon saw a gentle-looking woman greet them and asked, "I wonder if you two are taking medicine or seeing a doctor?" ”

The two looked at her dress, recalled the description of their previous subordinates, and could roughly determine that the person in front of them was Yu Niang.

Wei Yun stepped forward and raised her chin slightly: "See a doctor, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach in the past two days, you can take a look at me." ”

"Okay." Yu Niang nodded slightly, asked her to sit down in front of the counter, took the cloth cushion again, and began to check her pulse.

Wei Yun didn't care about the other party's pulse, and asked to herself: "Looking at this sister's dress, is she already married?" ”

"Not yet." Yu Niang smiled good-naturedly, shook her head and said, "But I already have a sweetheart." ”

"Then you ......" Wei Yun nodded, took out the jade pendant from his waist with a free hand, and asked again: "Do you recognize this jade pendant?" ”

Yu Niang raised her eyes and looked at it, her face changed slightly, but she soon began to shake her head, "No, I don't recognize it." ”

"Don't you recognize?" Wei Yun raised her eyebrows, and didn't care about the other party's attitude, but said with some pity: "That's a pity, this jade pendant was picked up by me outside, and when I inquired all the way, I heard that someone saw Yu Niang in this medical hall wearing it, but I didn't expect you to recognize it...... Aren't you Yu Niang? ”

"I, I am." Yu Niang stammered, her face was not very good-looking.

"Then why do you say you don't recognize it? Also, what are you doing so nervously, I won't eat you. Wei Yun pretended to be puzzled and said, "Could there be some hidden meaning in this?" ”

Yu Niang was silent.

Wei Yun didn't care, just turned his head to look at Lin Mo and asked, "You say, should we go to the official and hand this over to the government?" ”

Before Lin Mo could answer, Yu Niang was a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "Don't!" ”

The two looked at her together.

Yu Niang hung her head helplessly and whispered, "Okay...... I recognize this jade pendant, it is a token of love I gave to my sweetheart. ”

When the two of them heard this, they were both surprised, but the other party recognized the scarred man, so they were naturally good: "Then do you know what his identity is?" ”
