Chapter 35 Setting up the Scheme
That night, in the main hall of the Lin Mansion, several people sat around the table and had dinner together.
It was not until they were almost done that Lin Zhiyu came to the table late.
Seeing that he was still wearing his official uniform, Lin Ruqian was very surprised, "Brother, did you have a lot of official business in the Ministry of Personnel today? Why did you come back just now?"
"It's a long story." After taking a breath, Lin Zhiyu drank the tea in front of him, "The prince asked me to meet him today." Hearing this
, Lin Qiming waved his hand and asked all the servants around to leave.
"Do you remember the former Minister of Personnel, Mr. Gao?" Lin Zhiyu paused.
Lin Mobai pondered: "Wasn't he beheaded as a warning to the public?"
Lin Zhiyu curled his lips and nodded, "Indeed, but before he died, he left behind a lot of good things. Although they may not be enough to shake the ministers in the court, they can also be used as bait."
"If you want to completely wipe out the Prime Minister's Mansion, then you must build a very hidden prison so that you can hit the target with one strike!" "
Brother, don't say it anymore. I don't understand at all." Lin Ruqian collapsed on the table, "Let you take care of this kind of thing. I just need to run my shop well."
"Indeed." Lin Mobai nodded seriously and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the plate of fish in front of him, "If there is a need to wield swords and guns somewhere, I can still be useful."
"You guys!" Lin Zhiyu smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll go to Dad's study and discuss it with him later."
Lin Qiming nodded.
"Why can't I see Bao'er?" Lin Zhiyu realized it later and looked around.
Shen Xuelan took away the fish meat that Lin Mobai had picked off, picked up some fish meat again and put it in his bowl, "Bao'er fell asleep, so Qinglian took care of him and didn't bring him over."
Only then did Lin Zhiyu realize that something was wrong with Lin Mobai. He stared at Lin Mobai's shaking hands and was a little surprised, "What's wrong with my second brother?"
Lin Mobai was a little confused.
Because of the yellow grass in his afternoon test, his right hand was a little numb, and it didn't get better in a short time, so he could only deal with it in this sloppy way.
"Yellow grass." He sighed.
Lin Zhiyu suddenly realized and looked at him with some pity, "Then you'd better not go out of the house in the near future. This season is the worst for you."
"Second brother's illness is really recurring." Lin Ruqian glanced at his hand, and the dense redness gave him goosebumps. "Is there really no way to cure it completely?"
Lin Mobai couldn't help but look at Shen Xuelan, but finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
It's better to wait until he is completely cured before telling them, so as not to be too happy too early and the result will be unsatisfactory.
When he had an allergic reaction to the herb, the court doctor never stopped researching ways to suppress the disease. He tried many methods and folk remedies, but none of them worked, which made him completely disappointed.
So even though he later discovered that Lin Baoer's medicine might be useful for him, Lin Mobai never believed it completely in his heart.
"Okay, shut up." Shen Xuelan knocked on Lin Ruqian's head with a reproachful look.
Lin Ruqian also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he pursed his lips and didn't say anything else.
"But I have to go out tomorrow. There will be a martial arts competition in the army tomorrow. I promised Brother Ying at the beginning to go and cheer for him, and I can't break my promise." Lin Mobai said.
Ying Rushi was originally a soldier under Lin Qiming. After the border peace, Lin Qiming handed over his military power, and he took the initiative to request to be transferred back to Yanjing City. Now he has become the deputy governor of the army.
Because of this relationship, Lin Mobai has a close relationship with Ying Rushi and often goes to the army.
"But..." Shen Xuelan was a little worried.
"What's the matter?!" Lin Qiming interrupted her and raised his eyebrows, "How can a man of seven feet be so scared! He was fine in the past few years, can he not survive tomorrow? Just pay more attention to it then. At the very least, you can take Lao Zhang with you. He should have missed his brothers in the army for a long time, and he will definitely be happy to go with you."
"Yes." Lin Mobai agreed, and finally there was a little smile in his eyes.
After dinner, Lin Zhiyu came to Lin Qiming's study as promised. At that time, Lin Qiming had been waiting for him inside for a long time.
"Are you and the prince planning to set up a trap to lure you into a trap?" Lin Qiming asked as if he had expected it, which startled Lin Zhiyu.
"Dad, how do you know?"
Lin Qiming snorted, stroked his beard, and sat back down beside the table. "I didn't know you, kid. You've been going out early and coming back late these days, isn't it just because of Gao Xin? Although he was beheaded as a warning to everyone, the Gao family is not dead yet. No matter how stupid Gao Xin is, he can guess that all of this was planned by Shen Qiantang, and he just became the scapegoat."
"So the Gao family must have evidence of Shen Qiantang buying and selling official positions and accepting bribes. Has there been any movement in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently?"
Lin Zhiyu nodded: "Indeed, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been sending people to inquire about the whereabouts of the exiled people from the Gao family recently. The prince also noticed this, so he came to find me today."
"Then did you gain anything?"
Lin Zhiyu shook his head: "No, the Gao family hid very deeply, and almost all those who were found were killed by the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for the rest, even we didn't find any clues. It's just that... I sent people to secretly monitor Yuan's every move and found that she might be a little abnormal."
"If you can find out, the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely find out too. Shen Qiantang will not let go of this opportunity." Lin Qiming stood up and paced back and forth, thinking, "Since you want to trick the prince, you might as well use this incident to drag all those who are related to him into this turmoil!"
"Do you still remember the commander-in-chief in the Kyoto army?"
Lin Zhiyu was surprised, "Dad is thinking..."
Lin Qiming nodded, "He has always been in close contact with Shen Qiantang, and he must be helping with the search. Tomorrow is the martial arts competition, you let Mo Bai take the opportunity to investigate. If Shen Qiantang really finds out something, the commander-in-chief will definitely know something."
"Not only that, but we also need the help of the crown prince. Among the officials who have contact with Shen Qiantang, the crown prince is the most suitable one to contact, and we can assist from the side." "But
remember, don't expose yourself. Shen Qiantang is very cunning. Since he wants to use our Lin family to become a stepping stone for the third prince, his ambitions go beyond this. Recently, the taxation case in Jiangnan has been assigned to the Ministry of Revenue, so you should pay attention to it."
I have to say that if Lin Baoer was present, he would definitely admire his father's resourcefulness. He guessed everything with just a few pieces of information and even controlled the overall situation at the fastest speed.
