Su Muyu scratched her head, and then said firmly: "I think she should know." ”

Lin Ruo nodded in agreement, she thought so too.

Qu Xiaoxiang knew how Qu Mine died.

Moreover, not only Qu Xiaoxiang knows, but Zhennanhou and Shizi Qu Chun should also know.

Because that day, it was not only Gu Manxi who had an accident, but also Qu Mine.

With a little speculation, you can guess what the reason is.

"Little Muyu, listen well," Lin Ruo said solemnly, "You can't tell anyone about this matter, and you can't let others know that you know about it, understand?" ”

"Why?"

"There could be death."

"Kill...... Killed? Is it that serious? ”

Su Muyu didn't believe it, could it be that the Qu family would kill him because he knew that Gu Manxi went to see Qu Mine for Su Muqing? Joke!

But seeing Lin Ruo's serious expression, Su Muyu couldn't help but feel that it might really be that serious.

"I found out something on this trip, and Sister Xi's death may not be so simple. So, you must remember my words, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not let anyone know that you know about it! ”

Hearing what Lin Ruo said, Su Muyu's expression also became serious.

Therefore, Lin Ruo was worried that he would be killed because of this, not that the Zhennanhou family would be unfavorable to him, but that those murderers would be unfavorable to him?

"What did you find?"

Lin Ruo shook his head: "I only have a vague inference now, and there is no evidence to support it." But this matter is not simple, and if it is not done well, it may affect the relationship between Donglu and Xishu. ”

Donglu and Xishu?

Could it be ...... Is it related to Song Huan Chu?

"No, it's Tang Xiao."

"Tang Xiao? The unworthy 'No. 1 talent in Western Shu'? ”

Lin Ruo acquiesced.

Indeed, he is an unworthy "No. 1 talent", but he is a veritable young master of the Tang Sect!

"The Criminal Department is sorting out the case files now, right?"

Su Muyu nodded: "Yes, it should be finished soon." ”

At the end of each year, the six ministries will sort out the books and files of the year, record them, and then report them to the imperial court and seal them. It's like the year-end summary of the future.

It is a great project for the Criminal Department to collect the case files submitted by the prefectures and counties in Donglu and to check, record, and seal all kinds of evidence and confessions one by one. Fortunately, although Su Muyu, the prince, is notorious in Bian'an City, he has a good relationship with this group of officials. In particular, the officials had doubts when verifying the autopsy report, and they were most willing to ask this Su Shizi for advice.

The main reason is also that this unprofessional Su Shizi really likes to be a servant, even if no one comes to inquire, he will ask those officials for some autopsy reports of strange cases and unsolved cases to satisfy their curiosity.

"What dossier are you looking for?"

It's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, so Su Muyu naturally guessed Lin Ruo's thoughts.

"I want Kanghe for seven years, and the file of the rebellion case of the Jinling Lin Mansion was reported by the then Jiangning Prefect, Lu Xian."

"Plot, plot......" Su Muyu was shocked, quickly covered his mouth, lowered his voice and asked, "Plot, rebellion?" Lin Xiaoruo, you're not kidding, are you? ”

"That's right, rebellion."

This is Han Shizheng's investigation of the crime that Lu Xian, the prefect of Jiangning at that time, convicted the Jinling Lin family. The collusion between officials and businessmen to corrupt ink and disaster relief is a small matter, but resisting arrest against officials and military is large, and according to the national law of Donglu, it can indeed be punished as a crime of treason.

"Jinling...... Lin Mansion? It won't be ......"

"It's a big matter, you have to be very careful not to let people find out."

Su Muyu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I'm an apprentice with no hands!" ”

"Get the file, give it to me immediately, absolutely absolutely absolutely no peeking!"

Faced with Lin Ruo's three "absolute" warnings again, Su Muyu nodded with a stern expression.

After carefully agreeing on how to "borrow" the file from the Criminal Department unknowingly, I also learned the beginning and end of the "grounding" of the crown princess Su Muqing for Emperor Mingzong, which was close to noon. Lin Ruo told Lin Qian yesterday that he wanted to go to the Lin Mansion for lunch, but at this time, he only sent someone to go, saying that there was a delay and he would return to the house a little later.

The matter has been decided, Lin Ruo proposed that Su Muyu go to the Lin Mansion to eat together, but Su Muyu refused, smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and slipped away quickly.

Lin Ruo couldn't help but be a little curious, what did Li Yan do to Su Muyu in the past, and let him avoid it so much......

However, this problem, after arriving at the Lin Mansion, was thrown away by her.

I have been away from Beijing for more than four months, and although there is often news, many things are not really known. After lunch, Lin Ruo followed Lin Qian and listened to the big shopkeepers report on the business situation of the year in the Lin family hall. Also in attendance were Lin Qi and Li Yan.

Lin Qi, as the young master of the Lin family, was present to listen, and the shopkeepers were accustomed to it, but the young man beside him was a little familiar and a little unfamiliar. And Yun Yi, who was newly promoted to the chief shopkeeper of the grain store, only knew Lin Ruo and Lao Qi.

"This is Lao Li's son, Huai Jin."

Lin Qian concisely introduced Li Yan's identity to everyone, and several old shopkeepers remembered that Li Min and his son, who had been sent to the Northland Grassland to take full charge of the fur business.

It's been many years, but I didn't expect this Li Dashao to come back!

It is not false to say that it is Li Dashao.

Li Min used to be the housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, and he and Lin Qian were the main servants, but they were actually brothers. Lin Qian originally intended to accept Li Yan as his adopted son, and even thought of handing over the business to Li Yan to help take care of it after a hundred years. But Li Min sternly refused, so Li Yan did not become Lin Qian's righteous son. One is that Lin Qian will eventually have his own children, and the other is that Li Min originally planned to let this smart son become an official.

Lin Qi's birth made Lin Qian slowly dispel his decision to accept Li Yan as his son, but his cherishing and love for Li Yan remained undiminished, and Li Yan had been living in Lin Mansion before, and he really had the treatment of a young master.

When he came back this time, Lin Qian also made the whole house unanimously treat Li Yan as the eldest young master.

The old shopkeepers congratulated Li Yan one after another, and Yun Yi also joined everyone. This young face immediately attracted Li Yan's attention.

"You are the new shopkeeper of the grain store, Yun Yi?"

Seeing that the eldest young master who had just come back recognized him at a glance, Yun Yi hurriedly and humbly responded: "Thanks to the support of the young lady, Yun Yi has the opportunity to enter the grain shop." Yun Yi is still young and does not dare to pretend to be the shopkeeper, but his subordinates will definitely redouble their efforts and do their best to live up to the grace of the young lady. ”

Lin Ruo smiled, after not seeing each other for a few months, Yun Yi, who originally didn't know a few big characters, began to become literate. It seems that the old housekeeper is very dedicated to teaching, and Yun Yi himself is also very hard-working. She had already learned from the old housekeeper that in the days when she was not in Bian'an City, Yun Yi had assisted Lord Ying to recover a lot of grain from the grain lord, and the grain store's business was also good.

Lin Qian glanced at Lin Ruo and Li Yan, and then said, "Yun Yi, today, you will speak first." ”
