After reading the letter, the letter that was originally held tightly fell to the ground, the ink on the letter paper had been blurred by tears, turning into a cloud of black, Lin Yilan knelt on the ground weakly, lowered his head, tears flowed, his father had taught him countless times, men have tears and do not flick, but this time, he did not listen to his father's words, think about it carefully, every time Lin Yilan does not listen to his father's words, he will do something wrong, how he hopes that this time, his father can stand in front of him, pull him up as before, and then count him hard.

However, there was no chance, Li Shimin's words poured like cold water on Lin Yilan, who was originally like an ice cellar, and made him feel painful: "Your father, General Lin, has already committed suicide in prison, he sacrificed for the Tang Dynasty, I am sorry for General Lin, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Lin family......"

Lin Yilan couldn't hear what Li Shimin said later, and he couldn't hear what comforting words Tang Changyu had said, but the world in front of him was blurry, and his mind was chaotic, and he walked out of the palace somehow, and he didn't see Wen Hai waiting there as promised.

The whole world has abandoned me, this is Lin Yilan's hypocritical and desperate idea at that moment, after being sent home by Tang Changyu, Lin Yilan fell asleep on the bed, not drunk, not drunk and gentle, but he naively thought that in this way he could escape all cruelty, thinking that the things that made him desperate and unbearable would not happen.

When Tang Changyu sent Lin Yilan into the house, Liuning was waiting outside the door, leaning against the cold wall, her heart was so heavy that she couldn't sink anymore, Tang Changyu came out and saw Liuning standing there, facing her sad eyes: "Changyu, I'm so afraid, will we come to such a miserable situation in the future." ”

Tang Changyu didn't know the future, he didn't know how to comfort the power, so he could only squeeze Liuning's hand, her hand was extremely cold, just like her heart. Tang Changyu wanted to give her a little warmth, a little sense of security, and appease Liuning's rare weakness: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

And the next day, what they greeted was not the brilliant sunshine, not the beauty that had been lost for a long time, but a more cruel reality.

Lin Houxuan's body was sent back to the Lin family, and under Li Shimin's hints and suppression, the matter was over.

Lin Yilan, who reappeared in front of people, seemed to be a different person, and she was completely reborn. Lin Yilan calmly held a funeral for her father, but she had been holding back, not a single tear had fallen, and she was filial piety to her father in the mourning hall, just like that, with an expressionless face, empty eyes, and bloodshot for seven days and seven nights.

These days, Tang Changyu, Liuning, and Zhao Nan have been by Lin Yilan's side, and Li Shimin also came to Lin Mansion on a rainy day and put a stick of incense on Lin Houxuan, but those who should have appeared did not appear, such as Wen Hai, such as Mingfu.

After doing all the things here, everyone thought that Lin Yilan would end all the sad things, and he would fly away from now on and never ask about the world again, but Lin Yilan didn't, he didn't want to take revenge, but he wanted to find evidence to re-prove his father's innocence, he didn't care how much he would be wronged, how many tribulations he would encounter, he just didn't want his father to die unjustly like this.

Lin Yilan had already had a plan, Tang Changyu and Liu Ning respectively focused on the two main leaders of this incident, Wen Shi'an and Li Linde, and Zhao Nan were responsible for consulting the files recorded by the march and war that year, which was all the forces that Lin Yilan could trust, and he himself decided to return to Tibet to explore what the peace process was like.

Tang Changyu and Liuning monitored Wen Shi'an and Li Linde these days, neither of them moved, and even said that there was no communication between the two, and once in the court, the two quarreled over a new rule, and everything seemed to be so normal, so it made people feel that everything was a little abnormal, the surveillance was useless, and there was no gain, but there was some new development in the file on Zhao Nan's side.

The place where the files that record the records of the marching and fighting in the year are called the confidential office, and there are also a lot of miscellaneous files here, which can be said to be very detailed, of course, it is precisely because of this that no one is willing to look for those long and cumbersome written records on the rows of shelves, so the files here are covered with thick dust.

When Zhao Nan came here for the first time, the person in charge of these materials was dozing, Zhao Nan walked in and knocked on the table where he was lying on his stomach, which startled him, fell off the chair and sat on the ground, looking at the person in horror: "Gong...... Childe, who is coming, what are you doing here......"

Zhao Nan glanced at this person and replied nonchalantly, "I'm here to find something." As he spoke, he was about to raise his legs and go inside, but was blocked by this petty official.

The petty official looked at Zhao Nan and said very seriously: "This is a royal forbidden land, there are strict regulations, without the emperor's royal approval, idle people are prohibited from entering." ”

Zhao Nan looked at this petty official's serious appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "It's really rare for such a conscientious petty official to do his duty now, but you just said it, this is the royal forbidden land, the person you came said that, it's not good, it's good to be able to fly in a fly this year, and if I go in with such a big living person, others won't find out." ”

But this petty officer in charge of guarding the confidential place is not allowed to enter the oil and salt, and he will not let Zhao Nan go in, where Zhao Nan goes, he will stand on which side to stop, and finally simply hugged Zhao Nan tightly, Zhao Nan couldn't help but regret a little, if he didn't wake him up just now, he would have climbed over the wall and entered, with his ability, he would have been wandering in it a long time ago, where would it be his turn to stop himself here.

Zhao Nan didn't want to hit such a scholar who looked very weak, but just shook off his hand in disgust: "Haven't you heard that good dogs don't get in the way?!" I've lived for so many years, and I've never seen a person with such a head shaft as you, how can you not be flexible at all, read your brain stupidly! ”

Zhao Nan said that he was about to go out, and he kept thinking in his heart, what opportunity should he find again, take advantage of the fact that this dull little official is not paying attention, and sneak in quietly again, knowing that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles, Zhao Nan asked the little official before leaving: "What is your name?" ”

"Su Pingqi." When Zhao Nan heard his answer, he felt that this name was a little familiar, and after going back and asking Tang Changyu and Liuning, he knew that this was what they had mentioned, and they had helped the imperial examination candidates, and Liuning also lamented: "This child is really a child, and it is really like this." Zhao Nan smiled confidently and had an idea.

Zhao Nan and Liuning came to the confidential place again, Zhao Nan's idea was to let Liuning kill time with Su Pingqi outside the door, find a way to drag him and distract him, and then Zhao Nan quietly slipped in to find the file of the year.

As soon as Liuning came, Su Pingqi recognized her, Su Pingqi was very surprised, and muttered: "What's the matter lately, there are so many people from the confidential place, it's really the number of people who can come in a year in these few days......"

First of all, the emperor came inexplicably, and brought a lot of attendants to move a lot of files back, that day Su Pingqi was glad that he did not doze off when he was on duty, and he was also very surprised, he didn't expect that he was a sesame petty official, and he could witness the face of the Son of Heaven in his lifetime, and this large pile of information, Su Pingqi thought that he would have to see it for at least ten days and half a month, but he didn't expect that a few days later, he was returned by that group of entourage, but the emperor was gone.

The emperor came on the front foot, and Wen Hai, the eldest lady of the Wen family, came on the back foot, and then a few days later, Zhao Nan came in person, begging him to be accommodating, and it didn't take two days for the famous British duchess, his life-saving benefactor Liuning to come to the door again, Su Pingqi felt that he was simply lucky, but he still rejected them one by one. It's just that he didn't know that at the moment when he didn't realize it, there were two groups of people who had entered here one after another.

Liu Ning stepped forward and said bluntly: "Hello, little brother, we meet again, I want to go into the confidential office to find something, and I hope you will be accommodating." ”

Su Pingqi still rejected her decisively: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Tang, we can't enter without the emperor's edict here." ”

Seeing that all Su Pingqi's energy was focused on himself, Liu Ning quietly made a gesture to Zhao Nan, Zhao Nan jumped lightly, and then climbed over the wall and entered the confidential office, Liu Ning's afterglow glanced at Zhao Nan's disappearing figure, and asked provocatively: "What if I want to break in?" Even you, it seems that you can't stop me. ”

Su Ping arched his hand: "Then don't blame me for being rude?" ”

Liu Ning raised her eyebrows, facing Su Pingqi, she always had a feeling of looking at her younger brother and hating iron but not steel: "You're welcome? What can you do, are you going to fight for your life with me? Have you forgotten what I said to you that day in the tavern? You have read so many sage books in vain, but you can't integrate them in life, you are very dangerous like this, do you know, you are now in the officialdom, all your net worth and life are closely related to the rapidly changing situation around you, you can't adapt, you can't be flexible, just stick to your four books, those theories, you will die soon, don't say that you are just a petty official, such a small chess piece is easier to be abandoned by others. ”

Liuning's tone was still fierce at first, but later, it slowly had some serious meaning, Su Pingqi was stunned when he heard it, he was buried in the sea of books since he was a child, his ears didn't hear anything outside the window, and he only read the sage books, no one had ever told him about the sinister people in the outside world like this, Liuning's words seemed to let him really touch the air of the world, Su Pingqi stared straight at Liuning.

After Liu Ning finished speaking, she turned around and left, because she saw Zhao Nan's figure coming out.
