Lin Duan, who had been in a coma for three days, woke up, and the low pressure that filled the Lin Mansion instantly dissipated.
Jia Min and Daiyu's mother and daughter came over after hearing the news, and personally took care of Lin Duan, who had just woken up and was extremely weak after taking some medicinal food.
The elder and Lin Ruhai went to the study room in the front yard to discuss the secret conspiracy.
"Brother-in-law, why did Duan'er's evil spirit suddenly dissipate?"
The two of them sat down in the study, and after serving refreshments and letting the servant leave, Lin Ruhai couldn't wait to ask: "Why didn't the previous imperial doctor notice it?"
It’s no wonder that he was doubtful. To say that he was well-informed, the imperial doctors should have seen a lot in the palace. Why didn’t they notice the so-called evil spirit? Could it be that they were unwilling to take the initiative to speak.
Lin Ruhai also heard from his wife about some of the ways in which the imperial doctors acted.
There are many dignitaries gathered in the capital, and the palace is even more dangerous. If one mistake is made, the family will be destroyed.
Such an environment has forced the doctors in the Imperial Hospital to be cautious about what they say when seeing a doctor, and never use strong medicines when they can use mild medicines.
But Lin Duan's situation was special. Even if the imperial doctor who came to see the doctor had doubts and refused to tell everything, he would at least reveal a little bit of information.
The result was nothing.
In Lin Ruhai's heart, she was quite dissatisfied with the imperial doctors invited.
"If the imperial doctors can detect it, then they have real abilities!"
The elder's words dispelled the doubts in Lin Ruhai's mind, and said calmly: "Such things are quite mysterious. It takes a successful Buddhist and Taoist disciple, or a master who has practiced martial arts to a very high level, to be able to clearly sense it!"
"I see!"
Lin Ruhai suddenly realized, his expression completely relaxed, and he smiled and said: "It seems that my uncle's martial arts has reached an incredible level!"
It was originally a casual compliment, but unexpectedly, the elder accepted it with a calm face, and responded leisurely: "It's okay, I have begun to understand the spirit of martial arts, otherwise it would be difficult to detect the evil spirit of such an idea!"
Lin Ruhai was dumbfounded. He had a new understanding of the thickness of his uncle's skin, but he had no intention of focusing on it. What he cared about was who could be so cruel that he would attack little Lin Duan, and use such insidious methods.
But he didn't know how big a commotion it would cause if the elder's words were spread.
"It's best to say hello to the palace about this matter!"
However, the elder did not rush to answer Lin Ruhai's question. Instead, he asked Lin Ruhai to take the initiative to mention the matter to the royal family.
Even if he speculates on this matter, the scabby monk and the lame Taoist are highly suspicious, but he cannot rule out the manipulation of others. After all, he has no evidence or clues at all.
"Why?"
Lin Ruhai was confused. If he hadn't known that the elder would not make such a suggestion for no reason, he would have turned against him immediately if it were someone else.
It was still the temperament of the scholar-bureaucrat who did not want to expose the changes in his family, especially taking the initiative to tell the royal family. He had never thought of it before.
"Does my brother-in-law know the 'ancestral spirit'?"
The elder didn't answer the question, but then his face relaxed and he said with a smile: "The ancestors of the Lin family have also gone to Beijing, but their strength is a bit weak!"
He sensed that the Lin Mansion was being protected by a mysterious being, but the power of the blessing was a bit shallow, far less than the strength of Ning Rong's Second Mansion.
It should be the ancestral spirit of the Lin family, but its power is quite weak.
Sure enough, Lin Ruhai looked ashamed and said with a wry smile: "The descendants of the descendants are unfilial, and the population has always been small, resulting in few incense offerings. Naturally, the ancestors of the Lin family in my lineage have been affected."
The elder understood clearly and did not mention the Lin family's ancestral spirit again. We are all smart people and I believe Lin Ruhai has understood what he meant.
The ancestral spirit is similar to the door god, and its job is to protect the house and the family.
As long as there is an ancestral spirit in the home, it is basically difficult for evil spirits to invade the home, let alone attack the direct bloodline of the ancestral spirit, which is even more impossible.
But unfortunately, something like this happened in the Lin family, which almost cut off the men of Lin Ruhai's lineage. It is certain that the ancestors' blessings were not effective, but after all, they were the ancestors of the Lin family. Even if Lin Ruhai had thoughts in his heart, he would not
It will be easy to tell.
Everyone knew it well and there was no need to say that he was an apostle to cause embarrassment. The eldest man chuckled and said: "The sinister spirit is unusual. It is even more taboo to assassinate the minister's legitimate son. I am about to ask the royal family to investigate!"
At this point, he paused and continued in an aggravated tone: "It's best to ask Long Ting to investigate!"
That is to say, the two princes of Rongfu were both from the Great Qizhu Kingdom, and their status as the top military leader was unshakable. Only then did they know many unknown secrets.
The powerful families have ancestral spirits, and the royal family is no exception.
Moreover, as long as the emperors did not commit suicide themselves, they would basically have meritorious deeds to support them after death. They would reestablish Daqi's underworld, Longting, in the underworld, and gather the powerful ancestors to become a force that cannot be ignored in the underworld. At the same time, they would secretly protect Daqi from the underworld.
The main force of evil attacks.
Although a third-grade official like Lin Ruhai could not be said to be an important official in the imperial court, his ancestor, Marquis Lin, transformed into an ancestral spirit and served in Longting. Naturally, he was also one of the key targets of Longting's protection.
Someone is plotting to harm Lin Ruhai's only direct male bloodline. This is a very serious matter. Once reported, Longting will naturally receive the greatest attention, and then use the power of Longting to find out and destroy the culprit.
"Dragon Court?"
Lin Ruhai looked confused and asked, "What kind of existence is this?"
hehe……
The elder was stunned for a moment, this is the background of the top powerful people. They know a lot of things, and the means and methods of thinking about problems and even handling problems are naturally very different, which makes ordinary powerful people and others confused.
This is the information advantage.
However, he had no intention of hiding it. He chuckled and briefly described the matter in Longting. He ignored Lin Ruhai's shocked look and said with a smile: "It would be best to leave this matter to Longting!"
"Then just do as my uncle says!"
Lin Ruhai was in a state of confusion at this time, overwhelmed by the secret and shocking news from Long Ting. He did not expect that the Daqi royal family still existed like this. At the same time, he was secretly shocked by the profound background of such old and top dignitaries as Rong Guofu.
In other words, the ancestors of the Lin family were granted the title of marquis as a military advisor and have been confidants of the royal family for four generations. However, they still do not know about the secret existence of Longting. Obviously the ancestors of the Lin family are not strong enough to know.
This had a big impact on Lin Ruhai's concept.
Think about it, Lin Ruhai's lineage of ancestors of the Lin family has been held by nobles for four generations, and they are all close confidants of the royal family. As for Lin Ruhai, even if his father died young, he should still be able to receive some favors, right?
This is not the case!
Lin Ruhai's father died early, and his lineage was almost dismembered by the other branches of the Lin clan. Even if the family property was saved in the end, it would still be severely damaged.
Previously, Lin Ruhai's father's connections were completely cut off. Lin Ruhai had to study hard and take the imperial examination before he could enter the official career again. If he hadn't married Jia Min, the legitimate daughter of Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, it would have been impossible for him to enter the ranks of a third-rank official in just a dozen years.
things.
Even so, without the protection of Duke Rong, he was almost trapped in Yangzhou and unable to extricate himself.
On the other hand, for the eldest master, the Rong Mansion suffered such a decline that he was almost at the bottom of the third-rate family in the capital. As a result, it was easy for the eldest master to enter the officialdom, and his starting point was much higher than that of officials who were on the right track to enter officialdom through the imperial examination.
After the eldest master showed enough ability, he was promoted at an astonishing speed. In less than ten years, he had already become the second-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry, with almost no obstacles.
This is the background of the top dignitaries in the founding of the country!
Fortunately, Lin Ruhai was in a good mood and only felt a little sour in his heart. Otherwise, someone with a narrow mind would probably be jealous of Shang Rongguo Mansion and the eldest master.
…
After discussing the follow-up matters, the elder and Lin Ruhai went to the backyard to check on Lin Duan's little friend.
"Uncle, why aren't cousin Yingchun and cousin Cong here?"
Seeing the old man reappearing, Daiyu, who had been completely relaxed, came over and curiously asked: "I haven't seen you for a long time. Daiyu misses him very much!"
"Yingchun and Conner also miss Daiyu very much. They often talk about it in front of their uncle!"
Gently touching the little knot on Daiyu's head, the elder said with a hearty smile: "When Duan'er gets better, can you let them come over to play with you?"
"Okay, okay, I will also compete with cousin Yingchun in poems and lyrics, and with cousin Cong in boxing!"
Daiyu clapped her little hands and cheered repeatedly, and at the same time put forward her own ideas. She rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle, my cousin and cousin have not fallen behind in their civil and martial arts in recent years, right?"
"Of course it didn't fall behind!"
The old man laughed, looked at Daiyu carefully, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Looking at Daiyu's spirit, body and posture, it is obvious that she has entered the level of dark energy for a long time. I heard that Daiyu is from the capital.
A famous little talented girl, I’m afraid her literary and martial arts are quite good!”
While talking, he looked at Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, who were beside him.
"Haha, Daiyu is indeed smart!"
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min looked at each other, burst into laughter and said provocatively: "Brother-in-law, you must say hello to Yingchun and Cong'er in advance, otherwise you won't cry if you lose miserably in a civil and military fight!
"
"Don't worry about this, those two guys are so arrogant!"
The elder smiled and waved his hand, and said cheerfully: "If Daiyu can suppress their arrogance, it will be a good thing. Daiyu will not be merciful then, your cousin and cousin are not the same."
Good job!"
"Huh, I'm better!"
Daiyu raised her little head, causing the elder and others to burst into laughter.
We had a pleasant meal of Jiangnan noodles at the Lin Mansion. When the elder left the Lin Mansion in the afternoon, he felt quite relaxed and refreshed.
In fact, he could have helped Lin Ruhai deduce the murderer through the experiences of little friend Lin Duan in the past few years, but the direction was too obvious. Even Lin Ruhai would not believe it unless he told others that the other party had plotted to murder little friend Lin Duan.
, it’s because of the little friends themselves, not Lin Ruhai and his wife!
