Chapter 198: Danger Again (Part II)

Why did the emperor arrange it like this? Why is he and not someone else investigating the case?

This is the question that Lin Mubai has been thinking about on the way back. As for the reason that the emperor said, it is not convincing, and he is not the only one who is good at investigating cases. Was it just because he happened to be there? Still is......

Lin Mubai suddenly thought that after the dispersal of the dynasty, it was the emperor who left him first. He originally thought that he must be asking Mrs. Dong about it, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid it's more than that. If there had been no subsequent accidents, if he hadn't taken the initiative to explain Mrs. Dong's affairs first, what would the emperor have planned to say? If Dong Mingguang is still alive, will this case still fall on his head? What is the emperor's intention in doing this?

For some reason, Lin Mubai always felt that there seemed to be an invisible net in front of him, waiting for him to walk in step by step.

When I walked out of the palace gate, I saw that my sedan chair was already waiting not far away. At this time, the winter sun was warm, but Lin Mubai didn't feel a trace of warmth. Looking back at the past, I saw the red walls and yellow tiles behind me, stretching endlessly, and the palace buildings stood in groups, solemn and majestic, showing the supreme imperial power. Every time he enters the palace and sees this scene, he will have a sense of awe. But at this moment, all he had in his heart was boredom.

With all this endless conspiracy, this endless strife, why is it worth the effort?

Almost in an instant, Lin Mubai was very surprised by his sudden thought.

This is the capital, he was born and raised in Si. Under the earnest teachings of his father, who was the prime minister of the former dynasty, he and his brother successively became royal guards and court officials, and they went all the way. And unlike others, due to their deep relationship with the royal family, the Lin family has always regarded themselves as the most loyal guards of the royal family. They have a family mission that has been passed down from generation to generation, and they have never had the slightest doubt or complaint about it.

It was only today that he finally began to waver. What about loyalty? Since ancient times, there have been no fathers and sons. The emperor can't even trust his own son, so how can he trust him as a courtier with a foreign surname? After working hard for so many years, he is still a small chess piece after all.

At this moment, the sound of a flock of birds flying by was heard in the distance. Lin Mubai looked up when he heard the sound, and saw a group of crows appearing in the distant sky, flying towards the outside of the city. The blue sky is light, and the yellow glazed tiles emit a dazzling golden light in the sunlight. Lin Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his heart suddenly became clear.

Indeed, he is just a small chess piece, but who in the world is not a chess piece? Even the emperor, who is the Son of Heaven, is not one of them? "The Son of Heaven is commanded by Heaven, and the world is commanded by the Son of Heaven" is just a lie used to deceive the world. The founding emperor of this dynasty was just a poor and untouchable person in the previous dynasty, if it wasn't for his later rebellion, how could he be ordered by heaven!

In the final analysis, it is all for the word "authority", but it is always wrapped in morality, so that people are willing to be at the mercy of it, thinking that this is loyalty.

Lin Mubai sighed deeply from the bottom of his heart, turned around and got into the sedan chair.

As soon as he returned to the house, the people on the door rushed to report the news and said, "Master, the little master has returned!" ”

Lin Mubai was stunned when he heard this, and asked as he walked inside, "So fast?" I thought it would be a few days before I arrived. Where are the people? ”

"They're washing up in the Baiyuan, and they'll come over to see the master when they've cleaned up in a while."

"Them?" Lin Mubai stopped.

The man smiled and said, "I forgot to say, there is also the young master's master, they came back together." ”

"Oh, that's the master Lan'er invited for him. Okay, okay, see you all. Lin Mubai entered the door with a smile, and most of the gloom in his heart had dissipated.

Not long after, Guan Feng and Gu Songyun came over to ask for peace. Lin Mubai had made up his mind to give his youngest son a dismissal, but when he saw him today, he forgot about it completely.

"Well, it's taller, and it's stronger." Lin Mubai looked the wind up and down, and the joy in his eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed.

Guan Feng was very guilty, knelt down two steps forward, and said: "Daddy, the child is not filial, so you and your mother are worried." “

After his reminder, Lin Mubai also remembered that this kid had injured someone and ran away from home! So he straightened up and said, "You remember!" After learning a little bit of boxing and kicking, I want to be a hero. If it weren't for me and your brother intervening, you'd still be in prison. “

Guan Feng hung his head and said, "Daddy, I have already made a mistake. No matter how you punish you, I have no complaints. “

The youngest son who hasn't seen him for more than half a year, how can he be willing to touch him? Lin Mubai coughed dryly twice and said, "For the sake of your sister who has taught you a lesson, let go of the punishment in advance, and you should get up." After that, he changed his gentle face and said to Gu Songyun: "This is Mr. Gu?" ”

Gu Songyun hurriedly said: "'Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. How dare the juniors make a mistake in front of Lord Lin, you can just call me by my name. ”

Lin Mubai said with a smile: "Mr. Gu is modest. I heard Lan'er say, you trained Feng'er's child to be obedient. You know, that's not something that ordinary people can do. ”

Gu Songyun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Lord Lin has won the prize." That's because Feng'er likes to practice martial arts, and it can't be considered my credit. ”

Just as the two of them were greeting each other, the little guy on the door came again, probing his head around the door.

"What's wrong?" Lin Mubai turned his head and asked.

The little guy said with a sad face: "That Mrs. Dong...... Here we go again......"

Lin Mubai's face suddenly became heavy, and he asked, "What about people?" ”

"Wait outside. The little one didn't dare let her in again because you didn't say ...... in the morning."

"Hurry up and get her in." Lin Mubai turned his head to Gu Songyun again and said, "Mr. Gu, I have some important matters to deal with, so let Feng'er accompany you to take a walk around the mansion first." In the evening, there will be a banquet in the house, and then I will take care of the wind for you. ”

He took a bite of "sir", which made Gu Songyun almost out of breath, and when he heard that he was leaving, he hurriedly urged: "Go quickly, don't delay the important matter." ”

As soon as Lin Mubai left, Gu Songyun let out a long breath and sat on the chair. Guan Feng sneered, "Master, I've never seen you like this. Are you a little afraid of my daddy? ”

Gu Songyun glanced at the wind and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm cramped." No one had ever called me that, and I felt uncomfortable. As he spoke, he picked up another cup of tea and drank it down, looking the hall up and down, left and right.

In fact, he had been here a few years ago. At that time, it was out of curiosity to see who could cure the master's arrow poison, so I met Lin Zhilan for the first time in the back mountain of the Lin family. Back then, the master's palm almost killed the eldest young master of the Lin family, but now, he has become the master of the young master of the Lin family! The world is really impermanent.

"Master, shall I take you around?" Guan Feng leaned over and said.

"Hmm." Gu Songyun got up and said nonchalantly, "I didn't look very good when I saw your father just left, but what's the matter?" ”

"I didn't know that I would come back with you." Guan Feng scratched his head and said casually, "Mrs. Dong...... Maybe it's the wife of Lord Dong in the household department. I've heard my mother mention it before, but I've never seen it. ”

Gu Songyun had just taken two steps before he was nailed to the ground.

"Let's go?" Guanfeng looked at him strangely.

I saw Gu Songyun's eyebrows shrug and shrug, and he looked at him with a smile and said, "Apprentice, do you want to try how your internal strength is doing?" ”
