Chapter 688: Kiss or Treat 4
When Lin Ruo returned to the Lin Mansion this time, he brought all the five guards with him, for fear that he would have something to do and would not be able to spare manpower. Chopping Night received the order, and went to carry out the mission neatly.
Continuing to walk towards Lin Qian's bedroom, Lin Ruo continued to ask as he walked: "Is it his own idea that my uncle is going to the palace to see me today?" ”
After all, Lao Qi has been with Lin Ruo for many years, and he is well versed in Lin Ruo's temperament, so these questions have already been investigated, and he hurriedly replied: "The master has been in the mansion for the past few days, and when he is in good spirits, he will get up to keep filial piety for the deceased Empress Dowager Ruiwen, and if he is not in good spirits, he will obey the persuasion of Mrs. Yun and rest in bed." Young Miss, the news that you fainted at the city gate, originally Li Dashao meant to hide it from the master, but when the young master went to ask for Doctor Mo, he was noticed by the master, so he didn't hide it from the master. Today's weather is clear, the lord feels that there is no discomfort in his body, and there is no news of your recent situation in the palace, so the lord wants to go to the palace to visit the young lady. ”
Lin Ruojun frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Then why didn't my uncle sit in his usual carriage?" Moreover, Mrs. Yun and Xiao Qi, why didn't any of them follow? ”
Lao Qi explained: "Before leaving, Mrs. Yun found that the medicinal tea prepared for the master was useless, so she hurried back and accidentally broke her foot, so the master asked Mrs. Yun to stay at home. The young master originally wanted to accompany the old master, but when the young master Li came to find the young master, the old master proposed that he go to the palace by himself. As for the carriage ......"
"What's wrong with the carriage?"
"Steward Zhong's grandson contracted a cold two days ago and went back on leave, so the carriage for travel," Lao Qi lowered his voice and said, "It was arranged by Shao Gang." ”
Lin Ruo's footsteps paused again, and his gaze suddenly sharpened.
Lao Qi was intimidated by the momentum on his body, and he also stopped, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at Lin Ruo's gaze.
"Say whatever you want, don't say anything."
“…… Be. Lao Qi hesitated to speak, "The carriage was arranged by Shao Gang at the order of the coachman, and the driver who drove the carriage was a new coachman who was recruited into the mansion three months ago, and Mrs. Yun picked it. The carriage looked the same as the old man's usual carriage, but ......"
But the coachman is dead, and there is no proof of death!
Lin Ruo's eyes were empty, and his voice did not fluctuate: "Do you suspect Mrs. Yun, or Brother Li?" ”
Lao Qi was silent for a moment and said: "Young Miss said that people's hearts are the most unpredictable, the heart of harm must not be had, and the heart of defense must not be dispensable. The subordinates have no evidence, so they don't dare to speculate, and only hope that the young lady will be more vigilant. ”
"You also told Xiao Qi this?"
"Not yet," Lao Qi shook his head, "After the master was sent back, the young master has been accompanying Mrs. Yun, and later Li Dashao also came, and his subordinates have never had a chance." ”
Lin Ruo was silent for a moment, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again: "You send a credible person to visit Uncle Ping, and then transfer all the books in the house and send them to your uncle's room, and say that it is my order." Qingshuang, you go and find out where the driver comes from and who you have been in contact with recently. Ah-"
Leng Shu saw Lin Ruo's gesture, stepped forward, leaned his ear over, listened to Lin Ruo's whispered command, did not show any expression on his face, and then quickly turned into a black shadow and disappeared.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't you leave quickly!"
Before Ming Rui came back to his senses, he was scolded softly by Lin Ruo, and when he looked left and right, Lao Qi had already obeyed the order to get busy, and quickly took over the work of leading the way and walked at the forefront.
"Young Master, Young Miss is here!"
Lin Qi, who was crying breathlessly, heard this, and hurriedly looked at the door, Lin Ruogang walked in, and Lin Qi pounced all of a sudden. The fifteen-year-old boy, who was half a head taller than Lin Ruo, was already half a head taller than Lin Ruo, but in the face of his father's sudden accident, he was at a loss like a child, buried his head in Lin Ruo's shoulder and cried and blamed himself: "Second sister, blame me, blame me for not being good...... Knowing that Yun Niangwei broke her foot and couldn't accompany her father out, I should take Xi'en and accompany my father to go out...... It's all my fault, it's all my fault, even if you don't go out with your father, you have to double-check the ...... of the carriage."
Lin Qi cried and blamed himself at the same time, and his remorse was particularly strong.
And Li Xien, who stayed on the side, looked at the sad little uncle at a loss, still confused about the whole thing.
Lin Ruo patted Lin Qi on the back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's not your fault, it's because I didn't let people deliver the news to my uncle in time to let him know that I'm fine." It's none of your business, don't blame yourself, Master Mo and Mr. Tang are here, Uncle will be fine, will be fine, will be fine, will be fine......"
The last "It's going to be fine" is not only comforting Lin Qi, but also comforting herself.
Li Yan said with relief: "It is precisely because this carriage is not the one that Uncle Lin often sits, otherwise no matter how strong the wall is, it will be difficult to resist the rampage of the two startled horses, and it is even more dangerous for Uncle Lin to be trapped in the carriage." ”
Lin Ruo pursed his lips and admitted that Li Yan was telling the truth, the streets in Bian'an City were stone roads, and although the straight wood used as a "brake" was wrapped in iron sheets, it was difficult to pierce the stone ground; Unless you send out the mechanism, shoot a short spear and shoot the rushing horse to death on the spot. But if that's the case, how can the crime of assassinating the royal princess be cleared, especially if the queen mother who is protecting the Lin family dies? If you start killing within the period, it is an additional crime.
Lin Ruo gently pushed Lin Qi away, comforted him for a few words, and then looked at Li Yan.
"How's my uncle doing?"
"Doctor Mo and Mr. Tang are still inside, and they haven't said anything." Li Yan responded neatly, looked at Lin Ruo's sharp eyes, and said, "Shao Gang is locked up in the firewood room, and he is drunk and watching. Qiu Niang was in the side courtyard, accompanying Mrs. Yun and waiting for news. ”
Lin Ruo knew that this was Li Yan expressing his position to her—a statement rather than an explanation. Because he knew that Lin Ruo would believe him, he didn't explain; But it was precisely because he didn't want to live up to Lin Ruo's trust, so he had to express his stance instead of wantonly squandering her trust.
This is also the reason why there is so much trust between Lin Ruo and Li Yan.
Because Li Yan knew almost everything about her, if Li Yan wanted to deal with her, he would never use such inferior means. What's more, Li Yan is a true like-minded person with her, because she knows what Lin Ruo wants to do, so no one can afford to pay the price of wanting to rebel against him.
If the traitor from the Lin family is not Li Yan, then the suspicion will all be attributed to Yun Niang. Lin Ruo didn't want to believe it, but when it came to her uncle's life, she had to rule out every possibility—Yun Niang, Hu Yunqiu, Shao Gang, and even Li Xien. Li Xien is still the same as before, very simple, but it is precisely because of his simplicity that he is the easiest to be used.
But at the same time, because of Li Xien's simplicity, everything he said was the truth and the most credible. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Female Business Owl Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
