"Auntie, are we going back to Suzhou?" Lin Yubin was also very happy, and the promotion of cousin Xin showed that his aunt's arrangement was developing in a favorable direction.

"I'm going back, but I'll have to wait." Sun Huai said that he already had some clues there, and he would tell her when the results were available in the next few days.

Lin Qingwan decided to wait for the results before leaving.

Lin Qingwan waited for three days, and Sun Huai came to see her with some embarrassment, "County Lord, the clue is broken, and I didn't get any evidence." ”

"Evidence?" Lin Qingwan frowned and asked, "In other words, you found out who did it, but there is no evidence?" ”

Sun Huai sighed and said: "It's just a guess, all the people we tracked down have been wiped out, although there is no definite evidence, but Lord Liu and I both think that this matter is really the Zhao family's doing." Because there is already evidence faintly pointing to Lingzhou. ”

There are only Lu Zhen and Zhao Jie in Lingzhou, it can't be that Lu Zhen colluded with the Liao, right?

The thought flashed, Sun Huai's face turned slightly pale, and he raised his head, "County Lord......"

Lin Qingwan already had a solemn expression, "Can this matter be reported back to Your Majesty?" ”

"No, I'll come to the county lord as soon as I have the news, and I haven't had time to write a secret book yet."

"I'm not in a hurry to reply in advance," Lin Qingwan said: "If Your Majesty asks, you will say that you only found Jiangdu, and your clues were not cut off in Jiangdu last time?" ”

Sun Huai breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uncertain and said, "County Lord, is Lu Zhen really credible?" ”

Lin Qingwan glanced at him and said, "The Lu clan has a blood feud with the Liao people, they didn't stay in Fanyang to surrender to the Liao people back then, how can they collude with the Liao people now?" ”

"I'm afraid that the interests will move people's hearts."

"No matter how big the interests are, can they be as big as the Lu family's army?" Lin Qingwan asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty does not force you to take back your military power, and second, you don't deliberately suppress and insult, why does Lu Zhen want to collude with the Liao people in the face of the world's condemnation?" ”

"What about the Zhao family, they are also ...... of the Jiangnan clan" colluding with foreign clans, that is a big crime to destroy the nine clans, Sun Huai can't quite understand why the Zhao clan did this, he has seen Zhao Jie, and the other party is also a smart person.

Lin Qingwan borrowed Sun Huai's words and said meaningfully: "The interests are moving, and the Zhao family is not the Lu family. ”

The Zhao family now has some prestige in Jiangnan, and if they put it in the big beam, how many people know the Zhao family?

There is only one Zhao Jie in the whole clan, and the Zhao family has to step on the Zhou family and the Lin family if they want to rise.

But the Lu family is different, the Lu family is a great Liang family, and they have military power in hand, in such a troubled era, as long as the family does not suffer great changes, the children in the clan will be prosperous.

Even if the country is broken and the royal family is extinct, such a family will not decline.

This is the big family, the decline of the Lin family is that all the Lin clan's descendants had accidents back then, and the other is that they did not support the side branches from the beginning of Lin Zhi, although there are people in the side branches, there is no talent.

Otherwise, where can the Zhao family be bullied now?

"Then how does the county lord plan to deal with this matter?" Sun Huai was loyal to the emperor, but he also had his own thoughts, no matter whether he found out whether Lingzhou was deliberately guided or it was true, but he and Lin Qingwan thought too much, and this matter could not continue.

At this time, the most taboo thing in Daliang was that the monarch and the ministers were suspicious of each other, and neither of the three families of Lu Cui and Zhong could be suspicious of the emperor.

"I also want to ask Lord Sun to continue to investigate," Lin Qingwan also felt that this was not the best time to report to the emperor, "It is best to get evidence, but you can't get ......"

Lin Qingwan paused and said, "It's good to know the other party's movements, so that you know that the other side can be undefeated." ”

Sun Huai nodded, "Don't worry, the county lord, even if it is not to find out about the assassination, in order to eradicate the Liao Xizuo left in the girder, the lower officials will do their best." ”

He is now an observer of Jiangnan, and he is responsible for the safety of the entire Jiangnan, so he can forget it when he doesn't know, and now that he knows, how can he let them go so rampant?

The two reached an intention on future cooperation, and Sun Huai congratulated Lin Qingwan at this time, "General Lin is a promising young man and has the emperor's grace, so I think I will be able to go further in the near future." ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "He is still young, and there are still many places to learn from you, even no matter how graceful Your Majesty is, it is impossible for him to surpass the meritorious ministers." ”

Sun Huai smiled and complimented Lin Xin again.

Lin Xin's promotion looks inconspicuous in the entire Liang, but for those who follow the Lin family, this is big news.

Because the other party's promotion speed is too fast, he has only been in the army for half a year and has gone from a nobody to a miscellaneous general, how can it be so simple?

Your Majesty even sent people to the Northeast Army, what does this mean?

You must know that the predecessor of the Northeast Army was the Lin Family Army, wouldn't Lin Xin be like a fish in water when he went there?

Your Majesty is not afraid that he will get another Lin family army out?

Lin Qingwan is not worried about this, she is worried about the charming eyes of wealth and glory, Lin Xin has become a young man, and he is sought after and praised like this, but she is afraid that she will hurt Zhongyong.

After thinking about it, she wrote two short stories to Lin Xin, one was the famous wound Zhongyong, and the other was the story of Su Zhang.

Lin Xin naturally knew the story of Zhongyong, not only him, but also the children over the age of three in the clan had heard this story, and the elders had warned them about it since they were young, and also warned the elders themselves.

But this is the first time he has heard Su Zhang's story.

Lin Qingwan saw it from Lin Zhi's diary, in terms of talent, Su Zhang is no worse than the current Lin Xin, but he was nearly forty years old before he became Xu Lian's deputy, because he was also ridiculous when he was young.

Su Zhang's martial arts are good, and he was also a romantic figure in Beijing when he was young, so he decided to enter the military with the imperial examination at the beginning, although his father and brother were military generals, but he just didn't want to join the army again.

He also has the confidence to enter the profession from Wenju.

Everyone also praised him for his good writing, good learning, good looks, and good looks.

He is also very complacent, and has been aiming at the entrance examination, but he has not yet taken the entrance examination when he is too weak, but Lin Jiang, who is much younger than him, is the latecomer and passes the exam one step ahead of him.

What hit him even more was that even Lu Zhen, who was younger than him and had a lower evaluation than him, was admitted.

And Lu Zhen, this kid didn't take the usual path, he passed the Wenju exam, but turned around and entered the army.

Lin Jiang's stubble is the most outstanding group of children in recent decades, and their excellence overshadows Su Zhang, who was already very good.

He was a little dissolute under the blow, and Lin Zhi said to Su Zhang's father that this kid is finished!

These words stimulated the old general to arrest the little son and beat him, and then the regimental bar was thrown into the Northeast Army, and he was only brought back on the battlefield several times.

Su Zhang later ran out to participate in the imperial examination, and returned to the Northeast Army after passing the Jinshi examination.

For a long time after that meeting, parents used him as an example to educate their bear children, and the prodigal son's return to gold is simply Su Zhang's standard.

During that time, because of Su Zhang, many people's families turned around and learned from Su Zhang's efforts.

Su Zhang first changed from a genius to a gentleman, and then from a gentleman to success, his experience can be described as a classic, Lin Qingwan told Lin Xin with this story, in terms of talent, you are far inferior to Su Zhang, he will still be overtaken, let alone you?

He can carve out a road after taking the wrong road, but you may not be able to.

All you can do is to keep your heart, recognize yourself, no matter how much outsiders praise or seduc, stick to your original intention, then you are half the success.

Lin Xin's biggest advantage is that he can listen to persuasion and think.

After receiving my aunt's letter, my heart that had been touted for the past few days fell. returned to normal, only to discover many keys that I had overlooked.

His face changed slightly, and after thinking about it, he went to visit General Su.

Su Zhang raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard that Lin Xin was coming, and asked his entourage, "Come and invite me to drink?" ”

"The slave doesn't look like it, but it looks like he's here to ask for advice."

Su Zhang raised his eyebrows, "Invite someone in." ”

Lin Xin did come to ask for advice, because he suddenly remembered one thing, when escorting the prisoners into Beijing, someone had congratulated him, saying that he had made great contributions this time, and it was indispensable to return to the capital to reward a lieutenant for his meritorious deeds.

At that time, he was only the general flag, and if he was promoted to the captain, he would be considered to have jumped three levels in a row, who knew that he would be directly promoted to a miscellaneous general?

Su Zhang glanced at Lin Xin in surprise and said with a smile: "Originally, I should only be rewarded with a captain, but during that time, Your Majesty remembered Lin Gong's exploits and remembered that the four generations of the Lin family were loyal to the country. ”

It means that you are a ragtag general because the emperor remembers the efforts of the four generations of the Lin family, so he is rewarded.

Although Su Zhang didn't know why the emperor frequently mentioned Lin Ying during that time, he could guess the reason why Lin Xin jumped one level more.

You must know that His Majesty's reward is generally based on the position and merit they have reported.

He reported to Lin Xin that it was the school captain, originally he had contributed a lot to capturing Lu Jing alive, and it was reasonable to jump three levels in a row, but he was a little anxious to jump four levels in a row.

But what he doesn't know, Lin Xin may know, if Lin Xin doesn't know, maybe someone in the Lin family knows?

As soon as he entered the barracks, he took guards with him, but he came from a poor background, and it was self-evident who he relied on.

Lin Xin got the news, so he set a time and place to invite Su Zhang to dinner, and then left.

The entourage looked at the master very puzzled, wasn't the master very busy, and would agree to go out to dinner with a miscellaneous general.

Su Zhang sighed and said: "It's really stronger than the generation, and I came back to my senses in such a short time." ”

If he was so touted, he would have been unable to find the edge.

I originally wanted to wait for a while to talk to Lin Qingwan and ask her to persuade people, but before he could write his letter, people came out of the arsenic coated in honey.

It seems that he has poor self-control.

Su Zhang sighed again, His Majesty really wants to promote the Lin family, then Lin Xin's achievements in the future will definitely not be lower than him.

Lin Xin wrote to Lin Qingwan about the affairs in the capital, and he didn't know much about many things, and he was not well-informed, so he could only ask Jiugu to analyze it for him.

Why did the emperor suddenly promote him?

Of course, it was luck, when the reward was handed to the emperor and the last formalities passed, it happened to collide with the secret fold sent by Sun Huai.

The assassination of Lin Qingwan and Zhong Ruying is a major event, one is a meritorious person, the other is a general in the southwest border region, and the loss of the other is a major event of the imperial court.

What's more, there are Liao people among the people who made the shot, which is the key to determining the peace between the two countries, how dare Sun Huai throw a bomb into the court that is happy, he can only fold the secret.
