Criminal investigation in ancient times

In the afternoon Lin Xiaomin ran to Zhang Rui with a paper kite. Although he was not as excited as in the morning, he was still depressed. The two went to the back garden of the mansion. The garden is not small, and there are no flowers and plants in winter. It looks quite spacious.Zhang Rui asked him to lead the string and run in front, and he supported the paper kite behind him. Lin Xiaomin ran fast while holding the thread, Zhang Rui followed closely behind, when a gust of wind blew in front of him, Zhang Rui let go of the paper kite, and the huge butterfly faced the wind Spreading its wings, it slowly flew into the air.

Zhang Rui: "Xiaomin quickly release the line, the longer it is released, the higher it will fly."

Lin Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, and released the wire brake in his hand, only to see the huge butterfly flying higher and higher, both of them raised their necks to look at it regardless of the cold wind.

Zhang Rui: "Xiaomin, do you know that sometimes people are like this paper kite, grasping themselves too tightly, so they can't fly high and can't see far away. Sometimes in life, people can't just look at what is in front of them, what they want to see Far away, we have to let go of the current unhappiness, understand?"

Lin Xiaomin turned his head to look at Zhang Rui and said, "Brother Rui, you are telling me not to stick to what is in front of me. Although I am just a bastard, I may have great achievements in the future, right?"

Zhang Rui patted his head and said, "That's exactly the case, as long as Xiaomin can understand."

When the two returned to the room, their hands and feet were frozen, Lin Xiaomin rubbed his frozen flushed face and said, "Thank you, Brother Rui, if it wasn't for Brother Rui, I'm afraid I'm still very sad now."

Zhang Rui smiled and said: "It's good for Xiaomin to be happy. From now on...don't talk nonsense about your mother's words. If someone listens to it, it will be your mother who will suffer in the future."

Lin Xiaomin nodded heavily and said: "I know, that's what my mother said to me on weekdays. Today I was too sad to speak unscrupulously. I won't do it in the future." He bowed his head and walked to Zhang Rui's side, stretching out his arms to hug him Waist said: "I also want to have a brother like you..." After finishing speaking, he turned and ran out of the yard.

Zhang Rui was stunned for a while and smiled, the child actually understood everything in his heart, but he just didn't want to talk to others.

-------------------------------------------------- -

It took half a day for Lin Xiaoze to come out of Master Lin's study to find out that his mother was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by his father.He hurried to Lin Chengna to inquire.Lin Cheng said a few ambiguous words, and persuaded him to go back.

Lin Xiaoze went back to his own yard, worried about everything, and decided to secretly go to the ancestral hall to see his mother.Under the pretext of going to Gong's room, he sneaked out of his yard and walked towards the ancestral hall in the backyard.

Walking lightly to the entrance of the ancestral hall, I saw two roughly beaten women squatting at the entrance, and the two of them were muttering about something.

Lin Xiaoze walked over and coughed, the two of them were startled and hurriedly got up and said, "Second Young Master"

Lin Xiaoze nodded, and started to walk in.

The two hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Young master, according to the master's order, no one is allowed to enter the ancestral hall without his permission."

Lin Xiaoze frowned and said, "Can I go and see my mother?!"

The two looked at each other, they were just the most low-level handymen, but they couldn't afford to offend this young master.

"Come on, this silver is for you two to drink, I'll go in and take a look and come out." He said and threw a silver coin to the two of them.

The eyes of the two women were straightened, and they rushed to the money, Lin Xiaoze sneered and pushed the door open.

There was a scent of burning in the room, Mrs. Lin leaned on the short bed in the inner room, closed her eyes and meditated, while Qiu Shuang smashed walnuts aside, picked out a clean and plump walnut kernel and put it in a small porcelain plate next to it.

Mrs. Lin looked up when she heard the footsteps: "Xiao Ze? Why are you here?"

"Mom! Why are you imprisoned here by father!"

Mrs. Lin frowned and said, "It's not because of that little bitch. Ze'er, come over and sit down. Qiushuang, you can try on the shoes I made for the second son a few days ago."

Qiushuang nodded, closed the door and retreated.

Lin Xiaoze sat next to him, picked up the small plate and poured all the walnuts in the plate into his mouth, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "Mother, what does it have to do with Aunt Yuxiu?"

Mrs. Lin curled her lips and said, "I just asked her to make peace with me every morning and evening. Who knew that she accidentally fell on the road and lost the child."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoze was excited and "poof..." and sprayed out the walnuts from the corner of his mouth.

Mrs. Lin said: "Look at you, you don't even look good when you eat!"

"No, mother! Didn't you kill Yuxiu's child on purpose?"

Mrs. Lin stretched out her hand and slapped him, "Who are you as your mother! If I want to harm her, do you think Lin Xiaomin can grow up so safely?"

Lin Xiaoze smiled and said: "I knew that mother can't do this kind of thing. Then why did father put you in the ancestral hall?"

"Don't worry about your lord's affairs. I'm fine here. I don't have to wait on the old woman every day. I'll go out after a while to see her face."

Lin Xiaoze: "What's so good about this place, it smells so good that it makes my head hurt."

Qiushuang pushed open the door and came in with a pair of black shoes.

"It took my wife three or four days to make this. Master, try to see if it fits."

Lin Xiaoze took the shoes, put on one and said, "It fits well, but it's a little tight."

Mrs. Lin said: "The new shoes are like this. They loosen after wearing them. Ze'er seems to have grown up again. Qiushuang, see if it is."

Qiu Shuang said with a smile: "Well, the second young master has grown quite a bit taller, almost as tall as the eldest young master."

Thinking of her eldest son, Mrs. Lin smiled more and said, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and I will be a grandmother next year, and you will be a little uncle too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoze said, "Really?! That's great, I have to go get a drink with my brother to celebrate."

Mrs. Lin said: "No drinking!" Lin Xiaoze stuck out his tongue.

When he came out of the ancestral hall, the two gatekeepers greeted him with smiles, Lin Xiaoze snorted, turned and left.

On the second day, Zhang Rui took the two boxes containing Ganoderma lucidum to Liuxiang Garden. When he entered the house, the whole room smelled of herbs. Maybe Yuxiu couldn't get used to the smell, so he lit some more incense, but it smelled like medicine. It smells even worse when combined with incense ginseng.

Zhang Rui walked in, Lin Xiaomin was drawing at the table, saw Zhang Rui put down the brush in his hand and said, "Brother Rui!" Yuxiu who was on the bed heard that she propped herself up and sat up.

"Brother Rui is here, sit down quickly, Yun Hong brings the box of Dahongpao to Master Biao."

Zhang Rui hurriedly said: "Aunt Yuxiu, lie down quickly, don't bother me, I just came to take a look today." Yuxiu was lying in the middle, blocked by a screen of brocade, and she was vaguely seen sitting up against the quilt.

"I trouble you to take care of Xiaomin at the school."

Zhang Ruidao: "I was his cousin, so I should take care of him."

Yuxiu smiled: "Brother Rui is different from Xiaomin. Although Xiaomin will leave the house and set up a new family in the future, I have cultivated a quail temper in him. I am alive and well. If I disappear, no one will be able to take care of him." Take care of him."

Zhang Rui frowned, always feeling a little unusual.Said: "My aunt, don't say such things. Although Xiaomin is shy, he is not stupid. Besides, he has two older brothers, so he will not be wronged."

Yuxiu smiled bitterly in silence: "It's not that you don't know our situation now, I never counted on those two brothers, today Auntie begged you with this face, if... if I'm gone in the future, can you take care of me? He's one or two."

Zhang Rui didn't expect Yuxiu to speak so bluntly, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm just a white body now, living under someone's fence. If I have the ability in the future, I will definitely help him."

Yuxiu sighed: "With your words, I feel relieved. Xiaomin, go and get the pine smoke ink that your uncle sent a few days ago." Lin Xiaomin nodded and went out.Only Zhang Rui and Yuxiu were left in the room. Zhang Rui knew that Yuxiu had something to say to him alone.

"Aunt Yuxiu...Your child, Madam Lin didn't do it, did you?"

Yuxiu sneered: "Her? If she wanted to torment me, why did she use such an obvious method, isn't she already the first one to cover up when something happened?"

Zhang Rui was puzzled: "Then...who is it?"

Yuxiu said: "It doesn't matter who it is, it's just that this child can't be born. I saw Xiaomin's eyes were red and swollen yesterday, as if he cried. Poor him, he thought he would have a younger brother..."

Zhang Rui was taken aback for a moment, and instantly knew who this person was, clenched his fists and said, "Why?!"

Yuxiu was puzzled: "What for?"

Zhang Ruidao: "Why didn't he let you give birth to this child?!"

Yuxiu was dumbfounded: "You know... that's right, Dali Temple will ask you to investigate the case, I guess you will know about it after a guess." "It's nothing more than power, status, profit... My mother's family is too greedy , This is just his warning, if he continues to cooperate in the future, if he is restless, he will not lack sons..." After speaking, he gave a wry smile.

Zhang Rui nodded, said goodbye, got up and left.

When Lin Xiaomin came back with Mo in his arms, seeing that Zhang Rui was no longer here, he asked, "Mother, why didn't Brother Rui take Mo away?"

Yuxiu had been sitting for a long time, then lay down and said, "Brother Rui is thin-skinned, he may not accept it when I present it to him, Min'er can send it to him alone if you have time, mother is tired, you go back to the yard to rest Bar."

Lin Xiaomin nodded, hugged Mo and backed out.

Zhang Rui didn't know how he walked back, and even drinking a few cups of herbal tea couldn't extinguish the fire in his heart when he got to the house.Is human life so worthless? !For the sake of rights and interests, can your own children also use it? !Although the child has not had time to be born, it is still a life!What is the difference between this and Yang Jiu? !

But this is ancient times after all.A concubine's room is a master who is more face than a servant. If someone makes a mistake, he will not break the law if he is killed... let alone a concubine who has not yet been born.Zhang Rui couldn't help but clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

Uncle Han was coming in from the door, he was startled when he heard the voice, and hurriedly said: "Master, what are you doing? Who messed with you?"

"Uncle Han, is it okay for a person to hurt his own relatives for profit?!"

Uncle Han said: "Of course not, relatives are more important than anything else, why did the young master ask this question?"

Zhang Rui closed his eyes and smiled, "It's nothing... Just ask."

Uncle Han: "By the way, the concierge called me out just now. A man named Zhan Qing at the door said that there is a Mr. Zhou who has made an appointment with you to have dinner, and the date is set to be in Wenxianglou at Shenshi tomorrow."

Zhang Rui was taken aback, Mr. Zhou, Zhou Yin?Forget it, I'm still living in the Lin Mansion, it's not good for me if I get stuck, and Yuxiu doesn't pursue it herself, so what's the use of making it public, the innocent people will suffer in the end.

This was the first time he felt powerless back in ancient times, and there was really nothing he could do.It's not illegal to do abortion in modern times, let alone an unborn child in ancient times... Picking up the cup and drinking the herbal tea in it, he took out his strategy and looked at it fiercely.
