Bian'an City, Rongwang's Mansion.

Because he broke Yujue the night before, Lin Ruo couldn't sleep well all night, and after getting up, he felt even more restless.

That piece of jade was tied by Murong Chong in front of her bed.

Although the marriage between them is just a contract, because Lin Ruo is very attentive to everything in the palace and is indeed a competent princess, Murong Chong also kept his promise and fulfilled the agreement he should make.

Because he knew that Lin Ruo was afraid of the sound of water, because the two were not real husband and wife, and they couldn't collapse together, in addition to telling Youcao to take good care of Lin Ruo, Murong Chong tied his warm jade jade jue to Lin Ruo's bedside.

On the top of the jade, there is a carved scum.

He is also known as Baxia, and is the sixth son of the dragon.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the three mountains and five mountains were often carried, and the rivers and lakes and seas made waves. Later, he was subdued by Dayu, obeyed Dayu's command, pushed mountains and dug ditches, dredged all over the river, and made contributions to water control.

Probably thinking that it could suppress the flood, Murong Chong hung it on Lin Ruo's bedside, hoping that she could sleep peacefully without fear of the sound of water.

A piece of warm jade was shattered like this.

Coupled with the uneasiness in his heart, Lin Ruo began to think wildly, and suddenly thought that according to what Emperor Mingzong said, today should be the day of peace talks between Murong Chong and Daiguo, could it be that something happened to Murong Chong during the peace talks? Lin Ruo hurriedly brought Wu Yi over and asked him if he had any news about Murong Chong recently.

"In a few days, the king's letter should arrive. The princess does not need to be in a hurry. ”

Despite saying this, Lin Ruo's mind was still difficult to calm down.

Thousands of miles away, the whip is beyond reach.

"So...... As soon as there is news of the prince, report it to me immediately. ”

"Yes."

Responding neatly without blame, seeing that the princess was worried about the princess, he was also inexplicably infected by the other party's emotions.

However, it didn't take long for Wu Yi to receive Murong Chong's letter from the Eagle Falcon leg, which the shadow guard specially used to transmit the news, and immediately put his mind at ease and went to see Lin Ruo with Murong Chong's handwritten letter.

Despite receiving the letter, the restlessness in Lin Ruo's heart was still not completely calmed, after all, the letter was written three days ago.

Youcao looked at her young lady's haggard face and sighed.

Lin Ruo is thoughtful, and he will always be cranky. In the past, I thought about it more cautiously, but this time because of a broken piece of jade, I was so preoccupied, it was too much of a rumor.

She could only persuade softly, saying that she didn't rest well yesterday, so she was restless.

Lin Ruo reluctantly agreed, temporarily dispelled the worries in his heart, and was about to go to the study to read and meditate, but saw Tao Fu come to report: "Princess, Su Shizi is here, saying that there is something important." ”

Events?

Lin Ruo "chuckled" in his heart, and quickly asked Tao Fu to take people to the study, and he also tended to go towards the study.

Su Muyu was still giggling as usual, but after Youcao set up the tea and snacks and left the study, he changed his serious look, confirmed that no one else would hear it, and lowered his voice and said, "Ah Ruo, I found the file you wanted." ”

As he spoke, he took out a stack of folded notes from his arms and handed them to Lin Ruo's hand.

Lin Ruo frowned: "Have you seen it?" ”

Su Muyu said as a matter of course: "Otherwise, how do I know if it is the file you want?" ”

"You!" Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, looked at the person in front of him angrily, and scolded in a deep voice, "You don't want to die?" Didn't I tell you that you should never peek at it! ”

Su Muyu spread his hands and looked embarrassed: "The plan can't catch up with the changes!" You don't know, the file of this case has been filed in the secret case, and it has been re-bound and bound, and if you want to take it, you have to bring the whole book, so thick! ”

The thumb and index finger are thicker, and there is a lot of trouble.

If he hadn't had a good relationship with the few stewards who were in charge of the file, he wouldn't have been able to see this secret case file!

"Besides, there's not much written here."

Su Muyu pursed his lips, feeling that Lin Ruo was exaggerating and scaring him.

Lin Ruo rolled his eyes, ignored it, and unfolded the paper to examine it carefully.

"That's all in the dossier?"

Su Muyu nodded firmly: "That's all, I haven't missed a word!" ”

In the seventh year of Kanghe, Lu Xian, the prefect of Jiangning, was ordered to thoroughly investigate the corruption of the Jinling flood. After investigation, it was Jinling County that ordered Xu Wei to abuse his power for personal gain, colluded with the wealthy businessman Lin family, greedy for disaster relief silver grain, and sold it at a high price for personal gain...... Lu Xian, the prefect of Jiangning, led people to copy a large amount of gold and silver from Xu Wei's house, as well as a large number of letters plotted with Lin Zhengde, the head of the Lin family, and searched the account books of reselling disaster relief grain from the Lin family, and the evidence was conclusive...... Xu Wei committed suicide in prison, and the Lin family resisted arrest and resisted, and was punished on the spot......

The file of the old case of the Lin family in Jinling is not very long. Moreover, it is mainly to record Xu Wei's experience of using his power for personal gain as a county magistrate, and reprimanding him for being a petty official for being greedy, and daring to stretch out his hand when the country is in crisis, which is a heinous crime.

Judging from this simple dossier alone, the accusations of unnamed witnesses are difficult to distinguish between true and false. The only ironclad evidence is that the Lin family resisted arrest and resisted, attacked the official, and Xu Wei's suicide in fear of crime, which confirmed the whole case, which is really unconvincing.

On the contrary, it was so decided at that time!

Looking at the latter file again, the time to start a thorough investigation of the old case of the Lin family in Jinling was the year when Lin Ruo's mother had a meritorious service in saving the car and was named the county lord. Because it has been too long, it is difficult to obtain a lot of evidence, and the official in charge of retrying the case at that time was the mentor of Yin Yingzong of the Shuntian Mansion, Qiu Kui, who was the left waiter of the Criminal Department at that time. Today, Qiu Pass has become an old man, still highly respected, and is trusted by Emperor Mingzong. At the beginning, it was because he was like a god in judging the case, and was given a heavy responsibility by Emperor Mingzong. Despite this, it took a total of two years to investigate the case clearly.

Two years later, Xu Wei of Jinling County and the Lin family of Jinling were both wronged.

Lu Xian was beheaded after the autumn, and the entire Lu family was exiled. The officials who colluded with Lu Xian and deceived their superiors and subordinates, those who were still above the court, were dismissed and punished, and those who were not above the court were punished differently.

"Let me tell you, there was another person involved in the investigation of this case at that time, you will never guess who it is!"

Su Muyu chattered, when he saw the list of officials responsible for retrying the old case of the Jinling Lin family on the file, he thought that he was dazzled, and repeated it several times before confirming that he was not wrong.

Lin Ruo looked at his sworn expression and was silent.

"Well, can't you guess? A hint to you, this person, he ......"

"The official is still the book, Gu Ting."

Su Muyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at her as if she had seen a ghost: "I'll go, how did you guess?" You didn't know what before, that's why I checked it, right? ”

Lin Ruo shook his head, pointed to the two times on the paper transcribed by Su Muyu, and said: "The time to retry this case is the year when my mother was named the county lord of Pingrong; After the Jinling Lin family case was settled, my mother married Gu Ting. ”

"This, this, this can also be calculated?"
