◎ Ask! Where is the kidnapper's lair? ◎
When Lin Ruhai and Jia Min walked into Mo Yu's room, Mo Yu was lying on the imperial concubine couch eating melon seeds.
His sister Daiyu was sitting on the embroidered cushion next to him to accompany him. There were four or five maids and two or three maids who served them personally, standing or sitting, scattered in the spacious room. The scene was very harmonious and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After all, when Mo Yu was awake, he was really a happy person.
Even if he didn't say or do anything, just lying there in a daze, he could make people happy.
Moreover, not only does it make you feel good just by looking at it, but you can also listen to some gossip and eat some melons from time to time, which is a great benefit that relatives, friends and employees like to hear about...
Last time, I mentioned that because the Lin family has a small population, there
is not as much gossip as the Zhen family, so Mo Yu was a little bored when he was locked up at home to "recuperate". But as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and gossip is something that you can always find if you dig it up.
So, in just half a month, Jia Min, Daiyu and this group of maids and women who served closely "heard" a lot of gossip from Mo Yu.
比如，管家的小舅子居然偷了家裏頭的錢去包養了個青樓花魁啦，奶娘的幹兒子其實是個爛賭鬼、就是想騙她的錢、啃她的老啊，還有賈敏房裏的一等大丫鬟那個帶着她所有積蓄上京趕考的娘家表哥兼未婚夫，那揍是個無恥鳳凰男、極品陳世美呀，雖然最後能中個進士，但是絕對是要悔婚另娶的。
這些在莫郁看來無聊至極、最多只能打發一下時間的老掉牙狗血八卦，在當事人和當事人的親友們看來，卻是十分新鮮且要緊的重大消息。
After all, they really didn't know at first...
Now through Mo Yu's complaints, they seemed to have opened the door to a new world - the truth of the matter turned out to be like this, so what are they waiting for, they must take action.
The housekeeper immediately joined his wife and brother-in-law to go to his father-in-law's house to complain, and then the whole family went to the brothel to capture his brother-in-law, beat him up and locked him up, and then packed him up and sent him to work in the manor - in fact, these punishments were nothing to his useless brother-in-law, but from then on, the kid could only squat in a remote manor and no longer had money to steal. The worst thing was that he couldn't go to the city to visit brothels at all. This was the most fatal and of course the most effective real punishment.
Mo Yu's nanny finally made up her mind to ask her daughter and son-in-law to help drive her step-son out of the house... What's the saying that if you don't have a son, you will be extinct. In the end, you still have to rely on your own children. Unexpectedly, Mo Yu's casual gossip and complaints actually helped his elderly nanny to catch up with the fashion and experience "what it's like to have a son or a daughter" three hundred years in advance.
As for Jia Min, the poor maidservant, she also broke off the engagement with her shameless cousin fiance with Jia Min's support - it's impossible to dig wild vegetables, refuse to suck blood, start with me...
Besides, those spies and secret agents sent by various factions in Beijing to lurk in the Lin family have nowhere to hide, basically, with the fall of Lin Ruhai's two concubines, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai have almost dealt with them. Even
if there are still some fish that have slipped through the net, they dare not act rashly, after all, the terrible talent of the young master of the Lin family is too scary - windy and screaming.
So, within a month or two after Mo Yu came here, the entire Lin Mansion was like an iron barrel, clean and harmonious. Especially since all this happened in a corner unknown to him, it was an unexpected gain. What
made people even happier was that the health of Jia Min, Dai Yu and Mo Yu was getting better day by day.
Especially Jia Min and Dai Yu, they had suffered a lot from physical weakness, and this time their health gradually improved, which was like a blessing from heaven. They treated Mo Yu more and more like a koi fish... This was quite confusing to Mo Yu, who still knew nothing about these things.
Of course, even if Mo Yu knew nothing, it was really nice to be loved by these "sky-dropped" family members. However, what he couldn't ignore was that life like this was really boring.
After all, there were too few gossips in the Lin family, and they were too monotonous. There were only some old-fashioned gossips, which were not very good.
Fortunately, Lin Ruhai, who was away on business, finally came back at this time.
As soon as he came back, he went straight to Mo Yu's room to ask him for help, which finally made Mo Yu interested in gossip again.
Emma, this time there is finally hope for an exciting topic, right?
If it continues like this, he will be really bored to death.
Seeing Lin Ruhai's tired and anxious face, Mo Yu immediately realized that this cheap old father must have come to see him for something important.
He quickly put down the melon seeds in his hand, sat up straight, smiled and greeted him, "Master, you are back. I wonder if there is anything you need my help with?"
Because he is an adult who came from the present world, Mo Yu has always been more intimate than respectful to Lin Ruhai - they don't seem like father and son, but more like friends, which sometimes makes the local natives uncomfortable.
It just so happened that Mo Yu's wet nurse, Madam Wu, was the most etiquette-conscious of the servants who served him closely. She was also very afraid that Mo Yu would offend Lin Ruhai and cause trouble. She was not young anymore and had seen a lot of gossip in her life. Even if her family didn't have it, there were many in other families. She naturally knew that in aristocratic families, fathers and sons sometimes acted like enemies. No matter how smart, capable, and talented the child was, if the charge of "disobedience" came down, it would all be over.
I heard that there were cases where people beat their own sons to death... and they were legitimate sons! Oh, dear, our Mo Ge'er must not do this.
Therefore, before Lin Ruhai could speak, Madam Wu stepped forward and whispered to Mo Yu, "Brother Mo, the old man is the elder, please speak carefully."
She meant well, but Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, this matter is really only our Brother Mo who can help."
After he said this, Mo Yu became more curious and hurriedly asked Lin Ruhai to tell him - he did not fail to see Madam Wu's expression, but he thought that this way of getting along with Lin Ruhai was quite good.
Of course, at first he really didn't pay attention to the old and young, after all, his age in the world was not much younger than Lin Ruhai.
But soon he found that Lin Ruhai really didn't care about this. After all
, this old man of the Lin family was a former top scholar, a true academic master, and was fundamentally different from the old men of the Jia family.
Putting aside other things, at least his attitude towards life, especially the way he educated his children, was far superior to those old men of the Jia family.
To give a simple example, in the original novel, Lin Ruhai only had one daughter, Daiyu, but he still hired Jia Yucun, a Jinshi graduate, as a tutor for her. Regardless of Jia Yucun's character, his education was definitely good enough.
To be fair, not only was it good enough, it was even exceptional.
After all, Jia Yucun had a very impressive resume, and he was more than qualified to teach a child preparing for an imperial examination. But Lin Ruhai invited him home to tutor a five-year-old girl, Daiyu. This was... not something that an ordinary family could do.
He was able to spend a lot of money, teach according to the child's aptitude, and not restrict the child. He was simply a perfect parent. No wonder, he taught Daiyu very well - as for why she was sent to the Jia Mansion later, there is another story in between.
Mo Yu wanted to know, but System 006 has not been broadcast yet... Then we can only wait a little longer.
Anyway, since Lin Ruhai has returned home, there must be new melons to eat, so we still have to grasp the main contradiction.
Looking at Mo Yu's expression, Lin Ruhai guessed that he had been very curious about his purpose for a long time, and he could even feel his eagerness to try without listening to his outward voice.
Why does it feel that since his son's illness has improved, his temperament has become more interesting?
Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing at Mo Yu's performance, but he also knew that what he was asking for was extremely urgent, and he had to use his son's "special ability" as a last resort.
Originally, he was still hesitating about how to start talking - after all, their whole family could hear their son's thoughts. Although everyone in the family knew it, their son didn't know it yet...
The key point was that even if they wanted to tell their son, they couldn't open their mouths at all. This was probably some kind of protection mechanism of this "miracle".
Anyway, things have come to this point, so it's better to say it directly.
What if it works?
Wouldn't it be a great merit for the people?
Only in this way can we live up to this great God-given power.
Lord Lin, who was dedicated to the people, successfully convinced himself, so there was no excessive hesitation, and he immediately told Mo Yu his request - it turned out that he came for the "Yangzhou Skinny Horse Case".
After all, Lin Ruhai also learned about this case from Mo Yu in the beginning.
Yes, it was about the benefactor of Jia Yucun who recommended himself to the Lin Mansion as a teacher, Yinglian, the little daughter of Zhen Shiyin, who originally lived near Hulu Temple outside the city of Suzhou.
Last time, Mo Yu complained about the origins of Jia Yucun and the Zhen family. The original intention was mainly to express contempt for Jia Yucun, a shameless villain, but Lin Ruhai caught another important clue - that little Yinglian was kidnapped by a kidnapper, raised in secret, taught some talents, and sold when she was a little older...
In short, it was a Yangzhou skinny horse.
This industry can be said to be quite developed in their time.
Since he had heard about such a tragedy, and the victim was a fellow villager from Suzhou City, and Lin Ruhai was originally investigating a related case, he thought about helping to investigate it - not just because he heard his son's voice, saying that he wanted to help the little girl.
Unexpectedly, the clues of the case that had not made any progress gradually surfaced, and after a while, several major cases were integrated together, getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter.
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Ruhai left home directly for business last time. He is still the doctor of Lantai Temple, and he originally has the responsibility to inspect on behalf of the emperor, and investigating a few cases is also part of his job.
I never expected that they just wanted to investigate the trafficking of women and children and the private breeding of skinny horses in Yangzhou, but in the end they dug deeper and deeper, and followed the clues to the powerful and even the princes in the capital...
This is a serious problem.
The most depressing thing is that everything in the front has been very smooth, but they can't get a key link - they can't find the place where those people raise skinny horses.
Without witnesses and physical evidence, the effectiveness of the conviction will definitely be greatly reduced.
Unfortunately, those kidnappers are very cunning and make their hiding places extremely secretive. Lin Ruhai and his team searched for a month and couldn't find it.
Seeing that the deadline for the case was approaching, Lin Ruhai had no choice but to go home and ask Mo Yu.
In the past, they just passively waited for Mo Yu to complain or gossip, and passively accepted his voice. Now Lin Ruhai wants to open up a new path, that is, to ask questions actively.
"Mo Ge'er, do you know where the missing little girl from the Zhen family is now?"
