Chapter 333: Two Branches 3
Lin Ruo shook his head, put aside the affairs of the Luo family, and no longer judged Lu Xian and Lin Jingxu's actions to be right and wrong, and continued to sort out the messy clues.
Next, it should be her grandparents who knew about the Lin family, and then went to Bian'an, planning to find Qu Lianying, who has become a concubine or queen. Lin Ruo didn't know about this process, but she could piece together what happened later.
Lin Yuaner entered the palace, and then rescued the driver in the rebellion of Ci'en Temple, won the blue eyes of the emperor and the queen mother, and was named the lord of Pingrong County, and then the emperor made a statement, and asked Emperor Mingzong to issue an order to retry the old case of the Lin family in Jinling. Lin Yuan'er doesn't know her relationship with the Qu family, Lin Ruo doesn't know very well, but Qu Lianying, who is the queen mother, must be clear.
Therefore, if the Jinling Lin family can overturn the case, the Queen Mother must be a big help.
As for why Lin Yuan'er and Lin Qian have never been in contact with the side branch of the Lin family in Jinling after the case was successfully overturned, or there is a connection, but Lin Ruo and Lin Qi are kept in the dark, it is a point that Lin Ruo still can't figure out.
Then, in order to repay Lin Yuan'er for her kindness, Gu Ting participated in the retrial of the Lin family in Jinling. Gu Ting is indeed very capable, otherwise he would not have risen to prominence, from a six-grade petty official, to a household secretary; And he was a very good lawyer before, and he must have contributed a lot to it.
Lin Yuan'er should be attracted to Gu Ting little by little like this, right?
Therefore, after the unjust case is revealed, Lin Yuaner will marry Gu Ting, one is to admire, and the other is to repay the gratitude.
Subsequently, Gu Manxi was born, and Lin Yuan'er fell ill after that, and the old injury at the time of rescue recurred, and her health has not been good, so she divided part of the power of the family to the concubine Lu......
Combing through to this paragraph, Lin Ruo's pen suddenly stopped, because a doubt that she had never realized suddenly flashed in her mind: How did Gu Ting know that Gu Manxi was not her daughter?
With Lin Kite's cleverness, it is not impossible to hide this kind of thing well.
And, most importantly, Lu also knows about it!
This has to be food for thought.
The Lu family was originally a girl bought by the Gu Mansion, and Lin Yuaner added two concubines to Gu Ting because of her poor health after giving birth, and the Lu family was one of them, because she was diligent and smart. Later, the Lu family was favored by Gu Ting, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and carried Lin Yuaner into a house after her death, which also proved that this woman was not simple.
But even so, Gu Ting shouldn't take the initiative to tell the Lu family about this kind of pickled matter that was cuckolded, right?
Of course, Lin Ruo also found a little bit of wind from Aunt Shan's mouth later, the reason why Lin Yuan'er was not in good health after giving birth was that Lu Shi also did some tricks. It can be seen that the Lu family may have known that Gu Manxi was not Gu Ting's daughter very early.
But they haven't made a move on Gu Manxi, because they know that this person's true identity is a princess, and they can't move.
Lin Ruo couldn't help but be on the other side of the rice paper, and under Lu Xian, he wrote Gu Ting and Lu Shi as the object of suspicion. After hesitating for a moment, he wrote down another "mysterious man" and added an arrow, adding the word "palace" at the end of the arrow.
nodded, thinking that he had straightened out this clue, and then began to sort out the next one-Gu Manxi's tragic death.
The murderer is very likely to be from the Tang family, and why the Tang family hates the Lin family so much should be because the old case of the Lin family in Jinling was overturned. Lin Ruo unfolded the list copied by Su Muyu, listed these people one by one on the paper, and framed them with lines.
The cause of this incident was the entanglement between Su Muqing and Qu Kuang, and it was not ruled out that the person those people wanted to deal with was Qu Kuang, or mistook Gu Manxi for Su Muqing......
Lin Ruo shook his head, no. If so, it would be better to have a rape catch.
By the way, there is also the jade pendant that was exchanged!
Was it deliberate, or was it an unintentional guide? The jade quality, carving skills, and texture of the two pieces of jade are almost the same, and the only difference is that Gu Manxi's birthday is not engraved on them. This also proves even more that this matter is related to the palace.
It's just that Emperor Mingzong didn't want to say much about this jade pendant, and Lin Ruo couldn't blatantly go to the Internal Affairs Office to check the books, but it was certain that Emperor Mingzong knew who the real owner of that jade pendant was.
The last clue is that Lin Ruo himself was assassinated twice. Although it was Luo Tingyun who wanted to take revenge, the Tang Sect killer under him revealed the key information - someone in the Xishu Palace wanted to kill the Lin family, and it was not the first time that the Tang Sect had done something to the Lin family.
This person hiding in the Xishu Palace is Concubine Shao. Her resentment towards the Lin family must be related to one or some of the names listed by Lin Ruo. Who could it be?
Just as he was about to put down the pen, Lin Ruo's movements froze, and he added Gu Manxue's falling into the water in the Taiye Pool, hesitated for a moment, and listed another doubt: Why didn't the Tang Sect do it all at one time and clean up the Lin family, but do it one by one? Enjoy this torturous pleasure?
After reading it from beginning to end and confirming that there were no more omissions, Lin Ruocai put down the pen, comforted his muscles and bones, and after the ink was all dry, he folded the paper, found a thousand machine locks, and placed them in it, and then ordered Youcao to come in and wait, and returned to his room with the box.
Wherever she is, Leng Shu will secretly protect her nearby, so it is safe to carry such an important thing with her.
On the second day, Lin Ruo specially sent someone to invite Li Yan to come to the house, and in the study, he took out the results of the previous night, unfolded them, and informed Li Yan of all his guesses and clues, and analyzed them together.
"Brother Huaijin, that's all I know. Do you have any thoughts? ”
Li Yan carefully read the summary listed by Lin Ruo on the paper again, and always felt that there was something vague, and he couldn't grasp it.
Seeing that he had been pondering, Lin Ruo didn't bother, puffed out his mouth on the side, and quietly accompanied, his eyes went back and forth on Li Yan and the rice paper, patiently waiting for the other party's reply.
Unexpectedly, Li Yan's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and Lin Ruodu felt a little uneasy when he saw it, and called tentatively: "Brother Huaijin...... Did you find something? ”
Li Yan raised his eyes, nodded, and shook his head again.
What do you mean?
Was it discovered, or was it not?
"I feel a little weird, hiss, but I can't put it into words."
"Really?"
Lin Ruo took the paper and looked at it carefully, but he didn't have a strange feeling like Li Yan.
"Miss, the Sixth Princess's Mansion sent someone to deliver a letter."
Youcao knocked on the door of the study, and with Lin Ruo's permission, he entered the study and handed the letter to Lin Ruo.
"You're sick?"
Hearing these four words, a white light suddenly flashed in Li Yan's mind.
