The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

"Your Highness, someone seems to have discovered Qi San." His subordinates secretly reported, "It was the personal guard that Bai Shiyue gave him after the young man named Shen Bao beside Jing Yuan Hou left, and later followed Jing Yuan Hou's Third brother Lin Che went to Mohe together, although it is said that they are guarding the brothers of the Lin family, but according to the subordinates, they are actually Bai Shiyue's people."

It is a little embarrassing to say how Lin Mo's servant named Shen Bao disappeared, but now that Wu Lianshui is in the dark and they are in the light, it is still a surprise to know the whereabouts of Bai Shiyue's close follower.Although according to Shui Shen's thoughts, he could not wait to tie Lin Mo or Rong Jia directly to coerce Bai Shiyue to come out, but he just lent it to his father to return to Beijing for his birthday, so he dragged around and simply stayed. Well, Lin Rong and Lin Rong are not easy-going lamps. If he opened his mouth and said, "Why hasn't His Royal Highness returned to the fief", he would feel ashamed.In addition, even if his uncle became a traitor, the black hats on these two heads had not been removed, so he was even less qualified to touch people.And even though he couldn't see the situation clearly, he could vaguely sense that Brother Sanhuang had something other than Wu Minfeng in Wu Lian's hands.

Although Lin Mo was extremely disliked, he also knew that Bai Shiyue was an important person. This kind of person had no reason to rebel, and he could persuade him to come back, even if he settled the score after the matter was over.In any case, Qi San is a key figure.If you find Bai Shiyue, you can threaten or lure him, it doesn't matter, you can kill him with a knife, you can't leave him with Wu Lianshui.

"Brother Huang, you can't startle the snake at this time of year. I'll take someone there myself." He thought for a while and volunteered.Although I don't know why Wu Lianshui has Shuifu, but it is always bad for others to find out.

Shui Fu looked at him in embarrassment: "I'm afraid that if someone raises it later, they will say something about your non-return."

"He Hui aunt hasn't returned yet, so what if I stay in the capital? He was just the fifth emperor brother, but now he is the county king, and I'm still the prince. Those under him can only talk The people around him should be cleared up." Shui Shen said, "Bai Shiyue has a lot to do with it. Even if I have a rift with Lin Mo, I have to admit that he is quite important. Especially in the past two years, Liu Xiangru is gone. The literary circles in it highly respect him, although the articles of those great scholars are not necessarily worse than him, you also know the hobbies of those sour scholars. What a prosperous age. They exaggerated Lin Mo too much, if this person followed his uncle and took the surname of Wu, what kind of essay would he write about Wu Minfeng, what would Third Brother be made up by him!"

This really made Shui Fu feel very embarrassed, although the emperor has spoken, but he has not formally appointed the crown prince, Wu Lianshui is in the capital, and he doesn't bring many people with him.If the father really wanted to take him down before his soldiers arrived, the most likely way would be to appease him, say "it's just a misunderstanding", calm down first, and then he will be fine. It's a braid.

I don't know whether it is the son's crime of wanting to murder his brother, or the fact that he killed the court official unjustly.The queen mother only has him and the fifth child, but at that time, it is inevitable to choose Libao. Although the matter of Yeyao has caused a lot of trouble, King Han has not yet pursued it, and everyone has discussed it.If Wu Lianshui really said that he started the incident because of Wu Minfeng, he could imagine what kind of situation he would be in.

What's more, there is the sixth younger brother and the Song family behind him, and now the flags have died down, and if they really see the flaw, won't that group of people rush forward?

"The current strategy is to stabilize people's hearts first." He smiled wryly, "It's a pity that I have offended too many literati on weekdays. Otherwise, I should really ask them to spread the word first and lay the groundwork."

Shui Chen gritted his teeth: "When I catch Qi San, I will go to Jingyuanhou's mansion first! It's fine to plead guilty, but to appease Lin Mo first. Now that I'm in Beijing with Aunt Hui, I won't apologize to him It's too embarrassing. I was reckless at the beginning, and my third brother favored me, so I got into such a mess with him. Don't tell me, I still don't like him until now, but that will be after this big event is over. When the time comes , the whole world belongs to Third Brother, so stand up for me again."

Even so, it is not easy to get all three.To put it bluntly, he is now a servant of the Lin family, the person who is served by Mr. Lin, what right do you have for Shui Shen to take him?Lin Mo was originally a bit evil, although he was reasonable and knew how to measure, but it really went against his temper, he couldn't do anything!Shen Bao is gone, and if he moves Qi San casually, he will tear up his face and want to settle the account with Lord Yan, who will look better after tearing it apart?

Shui Shen couldn't control that much anymore, so he took the people and went to the place reported by his subordinates.Qi San is also a good hider, even though the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion followed him all the way, he quietly disappeared, and he didn't know where he hid.Shui Shen asked people to put eyeliner on the alleys in front and back of Jingyuan Hou's mansion, and report to him as soon as there were tall and strong people.It's not right after thinking about it, so I asked someone to block the area around Rong's house.

Unexpectedly, he had been busy for half a night, and the doors of the two houses were closed tightly. Not to mention the middle-aged man, he didn't even come in and out of Ye Xiang's shift watch.

Shui Shen tossed and tossed all night, and it was only when the sky turned white that someone reported back: "Qi Ye, we found Qi San."

Qi San didn't seem to know that he kept others busy all night.Walked out of a simple and crude inn, and went to the cloth shop to tear two meters of cloth, bought a suit of clothes, returned to the inn to clean up, and then slowly went to Jingyuanhou's mansion.

When Shui Chen sent someone to stop him, his face was so gloomy that dripping with ink.When you see him, ask first: "Are you going to Jingyuanhou's mansion?"

Qi San met the ceremony in a proper manner: "At the order of my third master, I will bring a message to the master. Because of the long-term travel, the sweat and dust on his body are hard to hide. My master always likes to be clean, and he is afraid that his eyes will be dirty. Wash off the dust outside."

Shui Shen snorted coldly: "Let's go, I happen to be going to see your master, so I'll drop you off along the way."

Qi San smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."

Who would have thought that when they arrived at Jingyuan Hou's Mansion, they saw two teams of men and horses standing neatly from the street entrance, with red helmets and silver armor, they were actually the Yulin Army led by Prince Wei himself.

"King Yan." The leader was Ma Kejiang, the fourth-rank Zhiwei general, who hurriedly saluted when he saw him.

Shui Shen asked, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't there be some accident yesterday? Your Majesty Jing Yuanhou made his own decision, hurt the lives of his colleagues, and punished him for nine days of confinement. It was just a slight punishment, but who knew that he received a report last night, saying that there was something sneaky?" I was looking outside his mansion in the middle of the night, for fear of hurting others, I was ordered by Master Wei to come here to investigate." Ma Kejiang Yingda said.

Shui Shen's face turned pale, and he asked in a deep voice: "Father ordered the Marquis of Jingyuan to be locked up, I don't know if he is only allowed to come out, or no one else can find him."

"The emperor was also angry yesterday, but he didn't go into details."

Shui Chen sneered and said: "Since he was punished yesterday, I saw King Jing of Beijing coming out of his house. I don't think it will prevent others from going in to see him. Let me go."

Ma Kejiang was taken aback for a moment, but immediately made way respectfully: "Please, my lord."

Lin Mo felt quite self-conscious about being punished, with plain clothes and hair tied up, all decorations such as purses and jade pendants were missing from his body, and he didn't need a maid to wait on him, holding a copy of "New Words of the World" in his study alone , sitting upright.When I heard that King Yan was coming, the archers came out to meet him, his brows were calm, and there was no sadness or joy.

"Wronged Marquis Lin." Shui Chen raised his chin slightly.

Lin Mo sneered in his heart, and thought, even if Ma Kejiang and others were martial artists, Shui Shen couldn't speak.It was the emperor who punished him, and he, a son, has wronged him. Is this a blatant confrontation with his father?How did Shui Fu's eyes grow back then, so he looked at this younger brother differently? Loyalty is loyalty, and it will never help.He was too embarrassed to laugh at it.

But even so, I still have to answer: "This is what the humble minister should do."

Hearing what he said, Shui Chen immediately felt that what he said was wrong. Looking around, he saw that Ma Kejiang had retreated to the outside, and coughed in embarrassment: "We Ming people don't speak dark words. The Marquis of Jingyuan I'm a busy person, but I'm actually not idle. There's a lot of gossip outside now, and I'm afraid it will hurt your reputation. I know you scholars, even if you don't eat or drink, you don't want to dirty your feathers. I don’t speak well now, so don’t blame me. There are really some things that can’t be controlled? I think I’m here to ask, did Lin Hou really meet General Bai yesterday?”

"If His Royal Highness King Yan is talking about my teacher's wife's younger brother, General Bai Shiyuebai, the guard of Mohe, then I did meet him yesterday." Lin Mo spread his hands, "But yesterday's confrontation may be somewhat Misunderstanding, General Bai even injured Master Rong who happened to be passing by. But speaking of misunderstanding, I am afraid that the misunderstanding with General Wu is even worse." He pointed to the wound on his arm with cotton cloth, "I don't know what I am doing. Where and when provoked him. Although the wound was not deep, the location surprised my wife, but it's a pity that I can't ask in person, what kind of deep hatred is it?"

He pretended to be innocent.

Shui Shen also understood that even though so many people were under house arrest and confiscated, his father never gave Wu Lianshui a characterization.Even he would rather break his face with Qian Xueguo openly and send people to intercept Fuyao Lord's ship, but he never circled Wu Lianshui with the word "rebellion" from the beginning to the end.

This is the confidence of the Wu family.

"However, I heard that General Bai has gone to General Wu's place. I think he might be free, so he will ask for me?" Lin Mo tilted his head, "Or maybe he doesn't treat my former nephew now. , Disciple rest assured."

Shui Shen squinted and said, "Let's take a step."

Lin Mo sighed slightly.

He actually didn't want to be alone with Shui Chen.Lin Qing and his wife grew up in the arms of Lin Qing and his wife. They knew a little bit, and followed Bai Shiyue up to Fang Jiewa to act recklessly. Although he later studied and practiced calligraphy and tried to cultivate himself, the arrogance in his bones never faded away. .Seeing the water sinking, he thought of his good brother Shen Bao who grew up together.The good brother who had promised to take the blame for him all his life and cover him when he skipped class was gone.Even now, when he sees Shui Shen's face, he still has to exert his strength to keep his fists in place, so as not to utter disrespect on the spur of the moment.

"I apologize to you." Shui Shen said, "I was reckless and stingy that day, and caused such a catastrophe. I regret it too much, and I dare not ask Lin Hou to forgive me. I will naturally give you an explanation afterwards. But now At this time, Lin Hou is always sober in front of big right and wrong, I believe in your character."

Lin Mo turned his head away, and after a while, he said, "Your Highness thinks highly of me too. I am eating the salary that His Majesty rewarded me, and I wear a black gauze hat on my head, so naturally I don't dare to think about unnecessary things."

"Better so."

After sending Shui Shen away, Lin Mo called Qi San helplessly, "Why did you come back alone? How is Che'er outside?"

"The third master is not unacceptable. He is worried about the master, saying that Mohe is safer than today's Beijing, and asked the younger one to come back to protect the master." Qi San was already prepared. If Lin Mo asked about Bai Shiyue, How he wanted to fight haha, but the nephew and uncle probably didn't need to say much, and Lin Mo didn't say a word at all.On the contrary, he became worried: "Master, there are many soldiers outside, and I don't know whether they are enemies or friends. I walked around the capital for most of the night last night, and found that there are many high-ranking and wealthy families, all guarded by heavy soldiers, like a big battle. We here..." He also heard that Princess Wu came back in a hurry, stayed overnight, and returned to the palace early.Jingxian sent her out, then turned around and took the two children to the eldest princess's mansion.There is only the master left in this Lin family now, and he is guarded heavily, so no one can help but suspect that something happened.

Lin Mo said: "How can they fight against us? Outside our house is the Habayashi Army, the confidant of the admiral of the Nine Gates. To be honest, I have been an official for so many years, and this is the first time I know how important I am. That's all, Anyway, I'm going to stay at home for nine days, let's wait nine days later."

"I'm afraid that Master Yu's reputation will be hindered." Qi San also knew that he cherished his reputation, so he said sadly.

"What's the problem! Rong Jia and I weren't the only two living people yesterday! No matter how useless General Ming Wei is, he wouldn't dare to deceive the king. I didn't do anything wrong yesterday. It's just Yuezu acting on his behalf." Lin Mo smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me."

Wu Lianshui wanted to find a breakthrough, but he couldn't get his turn.

It's this time, and Shui Shen still looks aloof.Not to mention that Shui Fu is not a prince anymore, even if he really became a prince, those things don't make sense.The emperor is still in his prime, and it's not the two brothers' turn to tell him what to do and boss him around.

"It's okay. Now that you're back, take a good rest and come back with me tomorrow to see if I can still practice the boxing kung fu that I've laid aside for more than ten years."

He is not in a hurry, there are naturally people who are in a hurry, such as Shui Fu, who is on the cusp of the storm right now.

As soon as Shui Chen came back, he told Qi Sanfei that instead of looking for Bai Shiyue, he went to the Jingyuanhou's mansion. The message he carried was naturally more than a few words, but Ma Kejiang was there, so he couldn't say much.Shui Fu was in a dilemma: "I don't think the guards outside Jingyuanhou's mansion are like those outside the mansions of Duke Li and Duke Zhen. Most of those people were bought by Wu Lianshui, and they wanted to take advantage of what happened yesterday. Yes, it happened to be pried by the emperor. But the general of the Habayashi Army did not ask him to guard it himself."

Shui Chen agreed: "Look, General Zhiwei's words are not foolish, maybe he was really ordered to protect Lin Mo."

"He's a civil servant..." Shui Fu felt something was wrong as he spoke.

Lin Mo is indeed a civil servant, but who knows his relationship with Bai Shiyue?They want to take advantage of the reputation of the young talent that this literary world has promoted, doesn't Wu Lianshui think about it?Although Bai Shiyue walked past Rong Jia with an attitude of wanting to cut off his robes with his two nephews, but the relationship in the past few years is nothing but nothing.If you control these two people, you can control half of Bai Shiyue.Wu Lianshui is indeed scary, why is he scary?Just relying on the few people he brought to Beijing?No, it lies in his appeal and influence.He let people like Li Guogong, Zhen Guogong, and Rong Guogong use him, and even Bai Shiyue had to commit himself to him.That's why I say he's great.If it is true that without these helpers, Wu Lianshui is alone, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

Just as Shui Fu was thinking, he was startled when he heard that his father Xuan Shui had sunk into the palace.

Shui Shen stayed in Beijing for some time.He was sent to the fief earlier, but someone was cleaning the Yan Palace.The angel sent word that he had arrived at Qin Wang's mansion, and he probably had already been to Yan Wang's mansion.The two brothers have always been on good terms, and it is not uncommon for the water to sink in his place.But at this critical juncture, one thing more is worse than one thing less.Always ask what's up.

"The slave doesn't know either. The Lord Long Live saw the concubine Wei today, and he said he wanted to announce the seventh master. No, the slave was in vain. Thanks to the reminder from the guard at the house, he said he was going to call the seventh master. The slave was afraid Long Live God blamed me for delaying things, so I went through this by myself."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Shui Chen glanced back, and the maid beside him immediately handed the eunuch a purse.The man didn't refuse, and put his cuffs together, "Qi Ye please."

The sky was gray, and the water was sinking and counting the jade ladder into the imperial study room. Concubine Wei was talking about something when he saw him coming in, he quickly stopped, and he wanted to salute first, calling him "Your Highness", he first kowtowed to his father , and returned the gift to Prince Wei, calling him "uncle". The emperor didn't drag his feet: "What were you up to last night? You look so depressed, you don't look like a young man."

Shui Shen was startled, and couldn't help but glance at Concubine Wei.He just came back from Lin Mo, Ma Kejiang's movements were too fast?

Concubine Wei looked at him inexplicably, feeling a little displeased in his heart, but he still persuaded him: "It's rare for His Highness the Seventh Prince to come back, so naturally there are many concerns. I heard that he has invited the Third Highness to have a long talk all night, but There are so many trivial matters, I think it’s better not to rest.”

"That's all." The emperor didn't pay much attention to this matter, "Based on what you can see, how sure are you of stopping the Qianxue Kingdom's ship?"

"Does Your Majesty want to capture him alive, or..."

The emperor sneered: "Naturally, we can do whatever is cheap." Then he called someone, "Lao Qi."

Shui Shen hurriedly replied: "My son is here."

"Master Wei captured the third-rank Wei Lie General Jia Zhen, originally for the purpose of gathering people in his family to gamble money. Unexpectedly, there will be one after another. You follow Lord Wei to Tianjin Port to arrest people. Be smart and learn some skills. , and improve a little bit more. It saves you from doing nothing all day long, and only doing some useless work!" The emperor gave a sweet fruit and did not forget to hit him again, "What I allow you to do, you should do it well, I will If you don’t speak, don’t make up your own mind!”

Shui Shen's heart shuddered: "Yes."

The author has something to say:
