Lin Ruo felt that she was one step closer to the truth, but it was so confusing and disorganized that she couldn't figure out the whole thing.

She needs an entry point now.

For example, the Jinling Lin family.

Speaking of which, there are only a handful of people related to the Lin family in Jinling: first of all, Lin Qian, but Lin Qian is in poor health, so it is really inconvenient to talk about these things; followed by the Empress Dowager, the Duke of Dian and Emperor Mingzong, but it is obviously more impractical to explore the truth of the year from these people; There is also a Han Shizheng, but he has already told Lin Ruo everything he knows; As for the second, Qu Xiaoxiang and Su Muqing, who may be somewhat related to this matter, may not know about the existence of the Jinling Lin family at all.

If people can't, what about things?

Like, dossier?!

A fine light flashed in Lin Ruo's eyes, by the way, the file of the Criminal Department!

Thinking of the file in the Criminal Department, Lin Ruo turned his gaze back to Su Muyu.

But Su Muyu didn't know that Lin Ruo's mind changed so quickly, and he was waiting for Lin Ruo's answer anxiously, and when he saw Lin Ruo's gaze, he hurriedly confessed: "I'm sorry, Ah Ruo." I know you've been investigating the cause of your sister's death, but you've been hiding the most important things from you...... I really didn't hide it for Su Muqing's sake, I swear by that! ”

"When did you find out?"

"In ...... When Su Muqing became the crown princess...... The old woman asked me to send something to Su Muqing......"

“……”

Lin Ruo's eyes darkened.

"Ah Ruo, I ......"

"You came to approach me on purpose?"

"Of course not!"

Su Muyu immediately retorted, quite excited, and his voice rose unconsciously.

"Lin Xiaoruo, am I such a person? And, really, you were the first to provoke me......"

Lin Ruo raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

"You have always been at odds with Lord Hou and Mrs. Hou, and the crown princess, is this also the reason?"

Su Muyu nodded: "Sort of." At that time, Su Muchen was still there, and he knew about Su Muqing and Qukuang, so he strongly opposed it, but the emperor had already issued an order to choose the crown princess for the crown prince, and it was difficult to do it. However, you don't have to feel sorry for Su Muqing, after she heard that she was going to be the crown princess, she kicked Qu Mine away. This kind of woman, huh! That Fengyang county lord taught her a lesson and let her see herself clearly, which is good. ”

Lin Ruo didn't respond, but because Su Muqing was too much like Pei Nian, she still felt a little unbearable, but this unbearable was not enough for her to disobey the holy decree and go against her own will to help her.

"Arro, I know I'm not as smart as you, but I know what to do and what not to do. I will not deliberately find trouble with Su Muqing, nor will I act willfully and bring trouble to the Hou Mansion, although I am the son of the Hou Mansion of Jingping, the most I can do is to give the old man a reminder when I know in advance. But it's useless to wake up, Su Muqing is completely self-inflicted. The old man also reminded her, but she didn't care. ”

Su Muyu paused and continued: "However, that Fengyang County Lord really has some ability! Although it is still far from you, you have to be careful, don't pay attention to her way! Qu Jia, this man's wife, is so bad! ”

Lin Ruo said lightly: "I'm not much better......"

"How can that be the same!"

"How is it different? Look at the grain lords in Bian'an City, and look at the Beiqi Royal Court! ”

"It's different anyway!"

Su Muyu refuted firmly: "She is for personal grievances, you are for the people, for justice." ”

Lin Ruo sighed and shook his head: "There are many things that I don't do well, but it's just that I don't feel that I have done anything wrong." In the eyes of others, it may not be so. ”

Moreover, I will also ignore it for the sake of personal grudges.

For example, treat Song Huan Chu.

For example, if one day the truth about Gu Manxi's tragic death is found.

It's just that, in addition to personal grievances, it will put on a shell for the righteousness of the family and country......

"When have you ever cared about the eyes of others? Ah Ruo, at the beginning, you said to Brother Li in high spirits, 'Why do people work hard to hold power, status, and wealth tightly in their hands? Not to make your life better? In this case, whether it is the royal way, the benevolent way, the domineering way, or the business road that no one has ever walked through, it is just a method. It's just a different choice. How much ability is innate; But you can choose what you want to do. The difference lies in whether you can stick to your own heart and achieve your goals with the least loss, the least casualties, and the most appropriate way! ’”

Lin Ruo was stunned, at that time, Li Yan was favored by Chen Shijiao of the Hanlin Academy, and wanted to accept him as a student and teach him well. However, after Li Yan entered the Hanlin Academy to talk to Chen Shi, he found that everything was different from what he expected, so he came to chat with Lin Ruo. Lin Ruo said this.

But at that time, it was clear that there were only two people, her and Li Yan, how could Su Muyu know?

Laughing twice, Su Muyu said embarrassedly: "I came to look for you at that time, but I accidentally listened to the ...... of the wall."

“……”

Lin Ruo tugged at the corners of his mouth, quite helpless.

"You know, Ah Ruo, I thought at the time, you are so powerful! can actually talk to Brother Li, who is a person in the exam! I'm a few years older than you, but I don't understand a lot of what you're saying......"

That's because you don't like to read, and you haven't lived as long as I do......

Lin Ruo responded silently in his heart.

"Moreover, you are different from other women, no, you are as careful as a girl, and you will help me go to Dr. Liu to help me create a set of knives for me; There are also boys who are as strategic, so I felt at that time, I must become good friends with you, confidants for life! ”

Listening to Su Muyu's announcement, he said that he was not moved, it was false.

Moreover, Lin Ruo really regards Su Muyu as a confidant, and he is also a lifelong confidant.

"Well, you don't need to say so many high-sounding things to praise me. I'm not angry, Nozomi's sister's business...... I can't blame you either. ”

"I don't have a high-sounding ......" Su Muyu subconsciously retorted, and then was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Ah, Ah Ruo, you say, you don't blame me?" Really don't blame me? ”

Lin Ruo's shoulder was held by Su Muyu, and he shook it vigorously a few times, shaking him dizzy, and hurriedly slapped the other party's hand away: "If you shake me again, I will blame you!" ”

Su Muyu withdrew his hand and smiled: "Ah Ruo, are we still good friends and confidants?" ”

Lin Ruo glanced at him: "What do you say?" ”

Su Muyu was stunned for a moment, and then cheered: "Great! ”

As he spoke, he opened his arms and was about to give Lin Ruo a big hug, but Lin Ruo shrew away.

Su Muyu's hands froze in the air for a long time, and then he thought of it: "Oh, you're already married......"

"By the way, does anyone else know about Sister Xi's appointment for the crown princess?"

Su Muyu thought for a while: "Except for the emperor and Zhennanhou, there should be no more...... Right? Unless, Qu Kuang told someone before he died. ”

"What about the Fengyang County Lord?"
