Lin Chong had nothing to do. After all, he was not a psychiatrist, and he was really powerless to deal with this kind of paranoid personality disorder. The typical manifestation of such a person is to only believe what he sees and only accept opinions that he agrees with.
So he wisely chose to change the topic: "You said before that King Hui was seriously injured and in a coma, but King Rui was safe and sound. But I heard that King Rui was a cowardly prince with poor health. Why did he come to the capital to get involved?
?”
Wu Youke recalled King Rui he had met before: "I once went to Hanzhong, and the people there respected King Rui very highly. You must know that King Rui was not a hereditary prince. He could win over the people in just ten years.
Such support is incredible."
Lin Chong remembered that Zhou Ze had told him this problem when he came back from Hanzhong, saying that King Rui was not as simple as it seemed.
However, before they had time to discuss the matter in detail, Zhou Ze went to the prison to play a guest role as a prisoner to catch the traitor. After that, they were so busy that they put the matter aside.
"It is said that the core of Dark Ghost Tower is in Hanzhong, right?" He had even planned to go there in person. At that time, Miss Liu was still working as a female official in the palace. After hearing about it, she insisted on going with him.
.
Lin Chong couldn't help feeling that he was like an old man now, always remembering the old things from the past. He had lived for seventeen years, and his combined experiences were far more thrilling than those in these two short years.
The thin old man named He Xiang nodded and approved his statement: "Yes, the Dark Ghost Tower suddenly appeared in the past few years, and the people gathered here are all desperadoes, and they are engaged in the business of killing people."
When he talked about the desperadoes, Lin Chong suddenly remembered what Duanmuling said when he was in the tomb, "It's just giving the homeless a shelter." So in a sense, is the Dark Ghost Building a place of refuge?
Is it the same as the Gate of Heaven and Earth?
"In this case, how can you still seriously injure King Hui?" Lin Chong's tone was full of admiration.
"Of course, as long as it is deployed properly, the medicine I have developed will definitely be invincible."
Lin Chong touched his chin, nodded, and warned: "No matter what the reason is, don't go to Dali Temple to steal corpses next time. You will affect Dali Temple's handling of cases. Besides, if the relatives of the deceased know about it, they will definitely be chilled."
Wu Youke agreed happily, but Lin Chong could figure out with his toes that the person responsible for moving the corpse was definitely not him. He Xiang stood beside him and neither agreed nor refused, with an unfathomable look on his face.
Lin Chong had nothing to say to this kind of old man who pretended to be cool even though he was very old: "Hurry up and return the body of Dali Temple. I can't control what you want to study, but it affects the normal order of Dali Temple.
No, let alone using those corpses to scare people."
Wu Youke looked a little distressed: "It's not that I don't want to pay it back, but some of it is already..."
Lin Chong understood what he meant, and couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp. He waved his hands tiredly: "Already, forget it, and return the rest quickly. I know about Prince Rui, thank you both.
I came here late at night to tell you this."
Wu Youke and He Xiang looked at each other. Since the purpose of coming here had been achieved, they would not waste any more time here. When they handed over their hands and said "Excuse me", they disappeared along the window as they came.
Lin Chong worked hard all day and had no peace at night. Even if he was in good health, he would still have a headache. So the result was that the morning of the next day passed by so casually, and His Majesty the Emperor justifiably skipped work and went back to sleep.
When he woke up, the sun was already shining brightly. When he woke up, Lin Chong finally felt that his spirit had calmed down and he could deal with some household chores that even an honest official could hardly deal with.
After Mu Xi handled the matter of the secret passage without even touching the ground, he was admitted to the palace by the emperor without even entering the door. Mu Xi gave him a look that was mixed with sympathy and gloating. Mu Xi was very depressed.
"Long live my emperor, long live the emperor," Mu Xi bowed politely.
Lin Chong snorted and seemed to be in a good mood: "You haven't eaten yet. Thank you for your hard work. Let's sit down and eat together."
Soon a young eunuch brought a chair. Mu Xi had not eaten with Lin Chong before, but this was the first time she ate with such fear.
"You guys go down first." Lin Chong asked the palace maids and eunuchs who had been waiting nearby to withdraw. "Come on, start your statement, little friend Mu Xi."
Mu Xi was choked by the unserious words he said in a serious tone, but she also understood that Lin Chong's meaning was clear and he was not angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Xi sat next to Lin Chong, picked up her chopsticks and tasted the food: "It seems a bit bland."
Lin Chong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect this kid to recover so quickly: "I heard Eunuch Wang say a few words about you. It sounds like you know the senior leaders of Tiandi Sect. I really underestimated you."
Mu Xi choked on her tea: "Cough, cough, cough, no, young master, I don't know who he is, and I just met him a few days ago."
Lin Chong looked at Mu Xi's face, carefully recalled the Duanmu Ling who was dressed in white, and suddenly looked horrified: "What's the relationship between you two?"
Mu Xi lowered his head: "He is the eldest son of the Duanmu family and my eldest brother."
Lin Chong thought to himself that this was really nonsense. He had just joked the day before yesterday that Duanmu Ling looked like the child he had picked up, and today he immediately knew that they were real brothers.
However, he had never heard of the Duanmu family. From Mu Xi's tone, he should be a wealthy family. Could it be that something unexpected happened?
"Since he is your brother and the Duanmu family is also a wealthy family, why are your circumstances so different?" One of them fled and almost died of illness, while the other became a high-ranking member of a martial arts gang.
Mu Xi shook the tea cup and stared at the rise and fall of a tea leaf inside: "Master, do you really have no impression of the Duanmu family at all? When you proposed that the wealthy families in the capital support the imperial war, the Duanmu family was the first to stand up and respond.
of."
Lin Chong secretly thought that this was not something I did. How could I have such an impression? On the surface, he still pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Oh, so that's it. The Duanmu family should be the big contributors."
Mu Xi's smile dimmed. He was silent for a long time and took a deep breath before continuing: "This matter is complicated. Although the Duanmu family stepped forward to respond, most of the donated things were hidden by corrupt officials. My father and eldest brother
I was not convinced and wanted to find someone to comment on it, but how could a businessman fight against the protection of officials? I didn’t understand this until later."
Lin Chong touched his sadness and felt a little embarrassed: "If there is any grievance in your family's affairs, I can ask Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to come and see it for you."
Mu Xi shook his head: "The matter of the Duanmu family has been settled. As for my enemies, they deserve their punishment. I have found out a few days ago that the ones who framed the Duanmu family were Old Thief Wen and Old Thief Wei.
I can be considered personally punished. Duanmu Xi died a few years ago, and the one standing in front of you now is Mu Xi, the left-joined soldier of the Shadow Cavalry Guard."
Lin Chong stretched out his hand and rubbed his head: "I have long seen that you kid has been hiding something from me. Now I have finally told you. You don't have to think so much in the future and just follow my brother."
Mu Xi was no longer able to complain about Lin Chong's messy seniority arrangement every day. He had been busy all day and night without even taking a bite of food. Now that the young master had made it clear that he didn't care about this matter, Mu Xi could have a full meal with peace of mind.
