Chapter 163 Dream of Red Mansions Lin Ruhai 07
Chapter 163 Dream of Red Mansions Lin Ruhai 07
After the children's commotion, Jia Zheng knew that his purpose of coming to the Lin family today had failed.
He also understood in his heart that his brother-in-law did not want to have anything to do with the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion.
He took Jia Baoyu, who was still crying, back to the Jia Mansion in embarrassment.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min closed the door and talked in private.
Lin Lei took his sister back to his yard. Lin Daiyu obediently lay on her brother's shoulder, watching her brother put her on the fluffy carpet, then turned around and took out a puzzle block from the cabinet.
Lin Lei said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister, let's continue playing with building blocks and not playing with fools."
Lin Daiyu kept her eyes on the building blocks in Lin Lei's hand and nodded obediently: "Yeah."
When she saw the building blocks, Lin Daiyu forgot the two relatives she had met in the hall before and happily started playing with the building blocks with her brother.
After returning to the Jia family, Jia Baoyu could not stop thinking about Lin Daiyu, who looked as cute as a porcelain doll, and he insisted on going to the Lin family to see his cousin.
Although Grandmother Jia has been frail in recent years, she still dotes on her most beloved grandson. Seeing that her grandson likes Lin Daiyu so much, she thinks of asking Jia Min to bring Lin Daiyu back to the Jia family to live for a few days. It would be even better if the two children can get close and get engaged.
Just as Lady Jia was about to take action, she was stopped by Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng had already walked the path of strengthening the relationship, and knowing Lin Ruhai's attitude, how could he possibly annoy Lin Ruhai again?
It would be bad if the marriage fails and instead enmity is created.
Under Jia Zheng's persuasion, Grandmother Jia temporarily put this idea aside, but in her heart she was very resentful of Jia Min, the married woman.
When something happened to my mother's family, I didn't even think about helping the family. I really raised an ungrateful person.
Lin Ruhai entered Chang'an, his mental power spread out, covering most of the city of Chang'an.
Similarly, a lot of gossip instantly flooded into his mind, and Lin Ruhai's face turned pale.
Fortunately, it was night time, Jia Min beside him had already fallen asleep, and there was no one around, so no one noticed that Lin Ruhai was acting abnormally at the moment.
Lin Ruhai, who was reborn into this world, overdrew his mental strength for the first time.
Lin Ruhai quickly withdrew his mental strength, lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and after resting enough, he organized the information he had obtained.
It is true that there are many dirty things in the rich and powerful.
Lin Ruhai suddenly felt a little disgusted with the world.
I really want to kill those people.
……
As soon as Lin Ruhai officially took office, he was involved in solving an unsolved case.
Looking at the victim and the suspect who had turned into bones, a drop of sweat fell from the back of Lin Ruhai's head.
Is this the beginning of a show of force?
Looking at the two skeletons in front of him, Lin Ruhai did not go forward to check immediately, but looked through the case files. By the way, he covered the entire Censorate with his mental power and listened to the thoughts of those who had malicious intentions towards him.
As expected, Lin Ruhai uncovered a corner of the truth of the case from the thoughts of some officials.
It was related to the dirty tricks among the nobles, and unexpectedly, it was related to one of his brothers-in-law.
Ugh……
Lin Ruhai sighed with a headache and asked people to get ready. He wanted to meet the people involved in this case.
As soon as Lin Ruhai took office, he rushed to reopen an unsolved case from twenty years ago. This attracted many curious people to watch. Even the emperor, after knowing this, became interested in seeing how capable Lin Ruhai was.
To everyone's shock, Lin Ruhai found out the truth in just one week (in fact, he used his mental power to cover everyone's mental sea, and from everyone's voices, he found the key to solving the case bit by bit.)
The emperor was also shocked and attended Lin Ruhai's trial in person.
This case was originally just a simple murder of passion, in which the murderer killed his wife's lover and then committed suicide. However, the then-in-charge Dali Temple Minister found suspicious points and refused to close the case. Later, the Dali Temple Minister suddenly died in office. When the officials who took office later wanted to reopen the case, they were either dead or injured. In the end, they had no choice but to file the case and it became an unsolved case.
The emperor also had some impression of this case. When he was still a prince, he saw his father was very angry about the inexplicable death of the official investigating the case, but he seemed helpless.
At that time, he felt that the real culprit behind this case was very powerful, a force that even the emperor could do nothing about.
Seeing that Lin Ruhai is still alive and well, he doesn't know if it is because the people behind the scenes think that too much time has passed and they think that Lin Ruhai can't find out anything, so they didn't take action against Lin Ruhai.
Did Lin Ruhai encounter an assassination attempt?
Yes! But Lin Ruhai has special abilities, and no one who knows martial arts in this era can be his opponent.
That's why he was able to live safely until the truth of the case was revealed at the trial.
This case involves the descendants of the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang and Xue.
Similarly, another victim of this case that had been hidden for more than 20 years was also found by Lin Ruhai. It was a female corpse, found in the bamboo forest of a academy.
Coincidentally, the sons of the four great families in that academy all studied there.
There were only men in the academy and women were not allowed to enter, so it goes without saying how the female corpse got in.
Now that the four major families have all come to an end, Lin Ruhai made what he knew public when they were not paying attention, in order to put pressure on them by arousing public indignation.
The emperor was also dissatisfied with the actions of the four major families, and he understood why his father was so angry.
With the mental pressure of Lin Ruhai, the truth of that year was revealed by the main culprit and accomplice.
The truth angered everyone, and after the trial, the emperor ordered the main culprit to be executed immediately and the accomplices to be imprisoned for life.
Coincidentally, the accomplice was Jia She.
The emperor took back the title from him.
The four major families were all granted titles by their ancestors and inherited by their descendants. However, after several generations, their descendants had no ambition to make progress and were extravagant, and they were no longer valued by the royal family.
The emperor took this opportunity to revoke the titles, which greatly accelerated the decline of the four major families.
Before leaving, the emperor praised Lin Ruhai highly.
Some colleagues were jealous of Lin Ruhai and whispered in his ears that Lin Ruhai was cold-blooded and heartless, and even dealt with his own brother-in-law without mercy. It seemed that the folk rumors that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were a loving and harmonious couple were false, otherwise why would Lin Ruhai slap his own in-laws in such a way.
Lin Ruhai treated those words as the barking of a dog.
He turned around and found the faults of those people, and revealed them all when he went to court one day.
As expected, those people were dismissed from their posts.
Some officials took those people's words to heart and thought that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min had a bad relationship. They secretly tried to find out Lin Ruhai's preferences and tried to force women on him, but they were still liquidated by Lin Ruhai in the same way.
After the court experienced several personnel changes, some smart people realized that those officials who were dismissed had offended Lin Ruhai.
After knowing how powerful Lin Ruhai was, they all chose to stay away from him and not interfere with him.
