There was nothing wrong with Lin Shisheng's hands, but the assassin who was captured had a big problem.

On the morning of the second day after the Qionglin banquet, Jin Wuwei broke into Xia's house and took Xia Chengcheng away.

"How can it have something to do with Cousin Allure?" Lin Jiaruo was in a hurry.

Xu Yaoning frowned, she didn't know either.

In the end, Lin Shisheng took the advantage of saving the driver and entered the palace with Xia Yu to listen to the situation.

When he came back, Lin Shisheng wrote "It's hard to say a word" on his left face, and "Unbelievable" on his right face.

"That man is a prodigal son, without a father or mother, without a wife or children, and even without a teacher, all of his martial arts are self-taught."

"Or last autumn, said that I saw Allure on the outskirts of the city, and then I heard that Allure already had a fiancé, and I heard that Zhizhi went to join the army, thinking that Allure admired the heroic man, so he wanted to show his heroic ......" Lin Shisheng held his forehead and closed his eyes, unable to continue.

"And then he went to assassinate?" Lin Jiaruo asked cautiously, afraid of being ridiculed for being too crazy for his thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shisheng nodded with a very weak expression.

Lin Jiaruo looked at him dumbfounded for a moment and asked, "Did the Imperial Doctor say that he was crazy or stupid?" ”

Lin Shisheng shook his head helplessly, he really didn't know what to say.

"Then the emperor summoned his cousin to Allure, what did he say? She can't be blamed for this, right? ”

"That man couldn't stand the torture, so he confessed to Allure, and of course His Majesty will summon Allure to interrogate-"

"Is this still heroic?" Lin Jiaruo didn't know how to describe it.

Lin Shisheng sighed, not wanting to mention the inexplicable assassin again: "Fortunately, Allure is not an ordinary woman, and she is not messy when she arrives in front of the palace, and as soon as she hears the guilt, she asks to confront the assassin!" ”

Speaking of this, Lin Shisheng sighed with emotion: "Since ancient times, beauty is a unique capital, and such a look in Allure, coupled with a calm and calm posture, is Dali Siqing, who personally interceded for her——"

Appearance is justice!

"And then?" Lin Jiaruo asked, "What happens after the confrontation?" ”

Lin Shisheng praised: "The assassin was brought to the front of the emperor, Allure only asked him three questions, and then he took himself out!" ”

"What question did Cousin Allure ask?" Lin Jiaruo asked with interest.

"First question, have I ever seen you? The Assassin replied, no! ”

"Second question, have I sent anyone to send a message or a message to you? The Assassin replied, no! ”

"The third question is, whose idea was it to assassinate His Majesty?" Lin Shisheng smiled, "The assassin replied that it was his own idea!" ”

"The assassination of the emperor is a big case, everyone's reaction is to think about who is behind the assassin's idea, and after being asked so many times by Allure, Dali Siqing followed the vine and found out the true motive of the assassin——"

Lin Shisheng coughed dryly twice, and didn't want to continue talking about this motive.

Lin Jiaruo didn't care about this: "Then Cousin Allure is okay, right?" ”

Lin Shisheng's expression became strange.

Fourteen-year-old Xia Qingcheng really didn't deserve her name, and it was no wonder that the assassin was delirious for her, so he almost didn't come back after a trip to the palace this time.

Fortunately, she married Zhizhi early, otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee that she would not be eaten by an old emperor.

How can a father talk to his daughter about such a thing?

"Of course it's okay, not only did Your Majesty not blame Allure, but also praised her a lot, and rewarded her with a lot of treasures before letting her go home!"

Lin Jiaruo was relieved and asked happily: "Then Daddy saved the emperor, and the emperor will reward you, right?" ”

Lin Shisheng smiled implicitly and said, "Because I won the top prize, I have just been given the position of Hanlin Academy to revise, and I am not suitable for promotion for a while, most of them will be rewarded with some wealth!" ”

The biggest gain is to show his face in front of the emperor, and it will always be easier to be promoted in the future than others, Lin Shisheng thought complacently.

But he never dreamed that the emperor would really give him a promotion because of his rescue skills, but such a promotion was something he never wanted.

The trust and reward from the emperor ruined all his plans for his career, and almost made him collapse from then on!

After the assassination case in front of the royal court was decided, the palace began to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds.

The holy decree of the reward was sent directly to the Lin family at dusk.

Lin Shisheng was promoted to the first rank, from the compilation of the Hanlin Academy of the Sixth Rank to the Sixth Grade;

Lin Jiaruo's township was originally a positive sixth grade, considering that the daughter's rank should not exceed that of her father, she did not add a seal, but she changed the fief of Jingzhao Mansion, and changed from Anle Township to Huairou Township.

In addition to this, there are a whole host of rewards.

But the expressions on the faces of the Lin family were not happy.

Lin Jiaruo originally wanted to be happy, but the sudden silence made her smile freeze halfway.

Only Lin Junsheng smiled as always: "The third brother is really smooth, he just won the champion, and in less than a month, he was promoted to a level, and the saint is in his body, and the future is immeasurable!" ”

He laughed, left a room full of women at a loss, and left.

Lin Jiaruo looked at the mother beside her, she lowered her head, she didn't know what she was thinking, and her expression was confused.

"Third brother-" Da Berlin Jingsheng said in a deep voice, with a deep sigh, "The matter has come to this-"

"I know!" Lin Shi interrupted him stiffly, his tone was like a taut rope, "I know it in my heart!" After saying that, he clenched the holy decree in his hand and walked away.

He was rarely so rude, but none of the people who stayed were surprised or dissatisfied.

"Boss, this is ......" Old Madam Lin was full of doubts.

Lin Jingsheng sighed and personally helped Mrs. Lin: "Mother, I'll help you go back to rest first!" Together with Gan, he helped Mrs. Lin to the backyard.

Xu Jiaoning was about to beckon Lin Jiaruo to go back, but she suddenly jumped up, and in the blink of an eye, she only saw a back.

"I'm going to find Daddy!" Lin Jiaruo hurriedly left a sentence.

Outside Lin Shisheng's study, Ximo stood at the door, looking in with an uneasy expression, but the doors and windows were closed, and he couldn't see anything.

Seeing Lin Jiaruo appear, he greeted him with a sense of relief, and said, "Fourth girl, go and see San Langjun, when you just entered, that face-" He shook his head, showing a frightened look.

Lin Jiaruo's heart sank, nodded at him randomly, and pushed the door in.

The door was unlocked, and it opened with a push.

The light in the house was dim, Lin Shisheng's bookcase was under the window, and at this time, the window was not opened, and there was very little light that could pass through the window paper.

He was sitting in front of the bookcase, his face lowered, his hands holding the Yellow Silk Holy Decree, against his forehead, in the intertwining of light and dark, his body seemed to tremble slightly.

"Daddy?" Lin Jiaruo called him softly and closed the door behind him casually.

Maybe it's because the room is too quiet, and the sound of soft calls and doors is particularly abrupt.

Lin Shisheng slowly turned his face to her, his face was hidden in the darkness, and he raised his hand to greet her as usual.

"A-ruo, come here." He spoke gently, choked up.
