Chapter 461 Reversal of Life 17
Facing two pairs of bright eyes full of curiosity, Lin Dan couldn't help but smile. However, even if the two of them didn't ask, she would tell the truth, not for anything else, but for those innocent and innocent souls who died in vain.
"Actually, I'm not a fairy-god, but I just understand some medical principles." She confessed first.
"I and the emperor know this, Immortal Master, please continue to talk about it and tell the main topic." The little emperor knocked on the small table in the carriage and urged.
Lin Dan smiled again and had a deeper understanding of the little emperor. Although he had suffered a lot of hardships and suffered a lot of sins, his character was not broken. Instead, he was very cheerful, full of vitality and righteousness. He heard that he had been wandering in the northern desert for several years with Prince Jin, which shows that Prince Jin was also very good, otherwise he would not have taught a child who was deeply in despair so sunny.
Lin Dan was very relieved to interact with them. After thinking about it for a while, he slowly said: "Then let's talk about the topic directly. You know, I am not a fairy leader, but a doctor..."
"I know, Xiansheng, why do you keep repeating this sentence? This is not like your thunderous style. Tell me quickly, hurry up and hurry up." The little emperor spoke like a cannon twisting his butt.
Lin Dan was completely helpless, and Prince Jin reached out to give his nephew a thunderous thunder.
The little emperor covered his forehead and screamed, then he became honest and looked at Lin Dan with only a pair of longing eyes. When he made a fuss, the nervous Yao Bishui and Xu Miaomiao relaxed without realizing it and couldn't help but smile.
Lin Dan took turns to pour tea for several people and continued to speak: "I am a doctor, so when I walked into the door of Mr. Cai's room that day, I saw his bloody hands and knew what disease he had."
"What disease did he have?" the little emperor hurriedly leaned over and asked in a low voice.
Lin Dan smiled and glanced at him, and slowly said, "He has an extremely rare skin disease called ghost tearing."
Yao Bishui was frightened by these three words, hugged Xu Miaomiao and exclaimed.
"Ghost tear the skin? I know this disease." Prince Jin seemed to remember something, so he took the conversation: "I was fighting in the Northern Wilderness. I had seen someone in the military camp get this disease. These people were specifically responsible for cleaning the battlefield. The most common work was to bury the bodies of their comrades and bury them on the spot. Sometimes, a battle would last for several months before it ended. By then, the bodies had rotted. They had contact with more rotten corpses, and many herpes would appear on the surface of their skin, which would slowly ulcerate and spread to the whole body, as if a layer of skin was peeled off by ghosts. This is a terminal illness. Once they suffer from it, they could only wait to die. At first, no one in the military camp realized the cause of the disease, and later found the rules. He ordered the corpse collectors to wear gloves when burying the corpse, so the occurrence of this disease was cut off. Then, the young master Cai was a scholar after a famous family. He stayed in this prosperous place in the capital for many years. How did he get this disease?"
"Yes, this disease can only be infected by long-term and frequent contact with rotten corpses, so guess how did Mr. Cai get sick?" Lin Dan drank tea slowly, his dull expression as if talking about something extraordinary.
Yao Bishui hurriedly covered Xu Miaomiao's ears so as not to scare her. Lin Dan hugged Xu Miaomiao in her arms and reminded: "As a doctor, the diseases you encounter in the future will only be more terrifying, so if you are scared now, don't just learn from me. Doctors need kindness and courage."
Xu Miaomiao bit Xiaobai's teeth and said, "Master, I'm not afraid. That day, the disciple didn't tremble at all when he saw Mr. Cai's hand. Instead, my aunt was shaking so hard that she hid behind me."
Yao Bishui blushed with embarrassment, but Lin Dan smiled with relief and gently squeezed his disciple's round face.
Prince Jin, who was still thinking about a strange case, somehow his eyes were attracted by Lin Dan. Her temperament was very cold, but when she faced someone close to her, she would suddenly reveal an incredibly gentle inner feeling. Faced with such a situation, those who were in the cold and were trapped in the abyss of despair would always approach her involuntarily.
Prince Jin looked away, looked at the back of his hand that had lost its weight, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
The little emperor did not notice any abnormality of the emperor's uncle. He slapped the table hard and said in horror: "I understand! Young Master Cai must have been exposed to rotten corpses from time to time to get sick. I have sent someone to investigate him. In order to prepare for the scientific examination, he has not gone out for half a year. Even if he occasionally has social activities, he is mostly in other people's mansions or in restaurants, so how can he have the chance to get in contact with rotten corpses? His disease must have been infected in his own home! The mansion of Duke Cai is hiding rotten corpses! Is I right?"
"Yes," Lin Dan guided: "By his illness, you have guessed that there are rotten corpses hidden in Duke Cai's mansion, can you determine the specific location of the rotten corpses?"
Prince Jin looked at Lin Dan with a smile. He knew that she was playing puzzle games with her nephew, and this was exactly what her nephew liked to do the most. She was a wonderful person and would always clearly see your heart at the first time, but this kind of peeping was not offensive. Of course, her gentleness and tolerance were not unlimited. If she felt that you were not good at character, she would abandon you mercilessly, just like her ex-husband and her children.
The little emperor was indeed in high spirits. After pondering for a moment, he said confidently: "In Cai Yi's yard and very close to his bedroom, otherwise he would not be able to hide it from Duke Cai."
"That's right, so when I saw Mr. Cai, I knew that there were corpses hidden in the flower bed outside his house. The flowers in his yard were blooming more beautifully than anywhere in the mansion. That's because the roots of these plants were nourished by rotten corpses. One of the plants showed signs of withering, and the soil layer was also renovated. A pair of pinches were placed at the end of his nose, and the stench could be clearly smelled. It can be seen that the rotten corpses in the flower bed were often dug out and played with. At least three corpses were buried in his yard, and his root of illness was here."
The little emperor exclaimed while listening to Lin Dan's words. This is much more interesting than revising memorials!
"But why did he do this? How did these corpses come from? Could it be that they were all killed by him? This is too, too..." The little emperor could not find a suitable word for describing Mr. Cai's actions for a moment.
"Yes, why? This is the third question I considered, so I lit a calming talisman, which made everyone sleepy. I wanted to test whether Mr. Cai had a problem with his heart."
"Why can you tell if you are sleepy? Young Master Cai is having a problem?"
"Because sleepy is the most easily contagious, if everyone is yawning, you will feel sleepy and yawn with it, right?"
"Yes, yes, I have a lot of experience with this. When the Taifu was in class, when the accompanying readers yawned, I would also want to sleep! I said that it was no wonder that I was because others influenced me, and the emperor's uncle even scolded me for making excuses!" The little emperor glanced at Prince Jin with aggrieved.
Lin Dan shook her head and smiled, and Prince Jin said helplessly: "Then I apologize to you?"
The little emperor was immediately proud and blinked his eyes as bright as stars to look at Lin Dan: "So, what's the mystery in this yawn?"
"The secret is that those who are particularly cruel in their hearts and cannot feel the sorrow and pain of others at all will not be infected and yawned. Because they don't know that you are sleepy, and will not be affected by you. They only have themselves in their hearts, and their feelings are the most important. Others are all ants that can be stolen or can be trampled to death at will."
The little emperor exclaimed, as if he felt incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it made sense.
"Is Cai Yi such a cold-blooded and ruthless person? Sure enough, those people were killed by him, right?"
"I felt it was too arbitrary to test Mr. Cai's heart with just a yawn, so I walked to his study and checked his paintings. His paintings were filled with large pieces of black, gray and red, with twisted lines and full of hostility. From this, he advocated dark and passionate things. Hidden under his perfect skin was a very aggressive heart, and I had deeper doubts about him. However, calligraphy and painting alone could not fully explain the problem, so I read his articles again. He was very good at making righteousness, and almost every article would quote many allusions or saints. It was very exquisite to read at first.
Color, if you compare it carefully, you will find that this is just a pattern. All his articles are piled up according to a mold and have no substantive things. On the other hand, his poems and prose are all disorderly words, and the viewer cannot feel what he wants to express. This is the most important feature of people who are cruel and ruthless in their hearts - they do not express emotions because they do not have that kind of thing at all. They are helpless in all activities that require abundant emotions, such as writing poems and prose, such as feeling sad for the death of a close person."
"Immortal, I'm so full of hairs that you said! However, I remembered a small incident when I was young. Cai Yi was my playmate and often went to the palace to play with me. Once, we found a nest of hares that were just born in the imperial garden. They were only big and very cute. I wanted to take them back to the bedroom to feed them, but the palace maid stopped me. Cai Yi said he would help me take them back to raise them, but a few days later he told me that the rabbits died of illness. But I knew he was lying because another playmate told me that Cai Yi had just walked out of the palace and threw a bunny to death under the wall. At that time, I was only seven years old, and he was one year younger than me. I thought he was like that because he didn't take it firmly, but now I think about it, but it was intentional."
The more the little emperor thought about it, the more he felt the chill in his bones. He never expected that he would become friends with such a person.
Lin Dan nodded and said, "Slaying small animals is the early symptom of this bloodthirsty disease. I think Mrs. Cai must have known it very early, but she concealed it and indulged her son, which made him worse. If she hadn't been concealed by her son often, her aftermath wouldn't have been so sophisticated, and even Duke Cai had hidden it."
The little emperor agreed deeply and nodded, "Yes, her incense should be always available, and the one she is guarding against is Cai Yi's sudden murder. But even if you notice Cai Yi's nature, how can you know that he will attack the old lady?"
Lin Dan shook her head and said, "This is the second sin committed by Mrs. Cai. She has covered up for many years for Young Master Cai. She may have gradually realized that her son will not get better. In order to control his condition and protect him, she decided to send him away from home. But Cai Yi did not want to leave, so she ran over to argue with her. However, the old lady was moved by Mrs. Cai and decided to send him away, without any room for maneuver. By chance, Cai Yi remembered that in a few months, the old Duke would be the day for the old king to be defeated, and he wanted to stay with this excuse."
"What do you think of when it comes to eliminating the server?" Lin Dan looked at the little emperor.
"Of course it's death." The little emperor said without thinking.
"Yes, at this moment, Mr. Cai finally realized that death could solve this dilemma. The death of the old Duke, the death of his mother, the death of his grandmother, and even the death of his father, no matter which one, he could stay as long as someone dies. So, I tried to put myself into his role and guess which one he would choose. Duke Cai was a strong man who was difficult to conquer for him. He did not dare to touch him, so he only had two choices left. Mrs. Cai knew that he had too many secrets, and Mrs. Cai insisted on sending him away. Both of them were hindering him, and one was weak and the other was old, and they were the most suitable prey for him. Yes, people like him dare not provoke the strong. They would only vent their killing desires on the elderly, weak and children. What they did seemed cruel and showed strength everywhere, but in fact, they were just complete cowards."
"People like him are always broken in order to achieve their goals. Seeing him coming to argue with the old lady and the eldest lady in anger, and not getting the desired result, but leaving with interest, I guessed what he would do, so I said that to the old lady, hoping that she would get a warning."
Lin Dan sighed, "It's a pity that I'm a little slight, but in the end I can't save anything."
"So that's how it is!" The little emperor was fascinated by hearing this and kept squeezing his hands: "Xianxian Lin, I have learned more from you than the Taifu taught me in several years! You have eyes that have insight into people's hearts. Do you know that although you told me that you don't know how to do immortals, I still think you are a god! You are really amazing!"
Prince Jin listened to the conversation between the two in silence, although his face was expressionless, his heart was full of shock.
Yao Bishui and Xu Miaomiao clearly experienced this incident personally, but if Lin Dan did not reveal it, they would not even find any clues. This is probably the gap between ordinary people and wise people?
"Come back quickly. I will go and see the flower beds, articles and paintings that Lin Xianchang said." The little emperor savored the whole story without any thought, and then knocked on the wall of the car.
The guard quickly turned the front of the car and returned to the Duke of Cai's mansion. The officials of Dali Temple were still interrogating Mr. Cai. He didn't want to say a word, but he just stared at these people and smiled coldly, looking very worthy of beating. But he was a seriously ill person and the main son of the Duke of the State, so several officials did not dare to torture him.
The eldest lady suffered too much mental pressure and failed to commit suicide. She was taken to the old lady's coffin by the official and asked her to look at the old lady's face and talk. She could not stand the condemnation of her conscience and could only confess.
The murder of his grandmother, Mr. Cai's actions were enough to sentence a Lingchi to death. However, Duke Cai seemed to be still struggling and locked the door, preventing these officials from taking their son away, and invited the Dali Temple Minister into the study to discuss secretly, as if he wanted him to have his extrajudicial feelings.
"The Duke of the State, it's not that the officials are unwilling to help you, but that this case was recorded by the emperor and the prince. If we don't handle it impartially, another day, they ask, how should we make a deal? On one side is the mother and on the other side is the son. The officials know that you are in a difficult situation, but you must know that the kindness of raising a child is much more important than the love of licking a calf."
Duke Cai fell into a long silence and seemed difficult to make a choice between the two.
At this moment, the little emperor and Prince Jin actually returned, personally inquired about the trial situation, checked the case, and found that the eldest lady had only confessed to one murder case, and immediately showed a very dissatisfied expression.
"Come on, dig out all the flower beds in Cai Yi's yard for me!" the little emperor said loudly.
Although the servants at Dali Temple thought the order was inexplicable, they quickly pulled out all the flowers and plants and digged the soil. The minister of Dali Temple thought that the little emperor was making trouble again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Emperor, why did you want to plow the courtyard of Mr. Cai? This has nothing to do with the case, right?"
"Because the death of the old lady is just the tip of the iceberg of this case." As soon as the young emperor finished speaking, the officers dug out three rotten corpses from the flower bed, one of which had been corrupted into white bones. Judging from the clothes, it should be a woman; the other one with rotten flesh and a very thick skeleton, which was a man; the last one turned out to be a child less than three feet tall, and the rotten condition seemed to be the man, but he was wearing a brand new dress, which should have been replaced by a few days ago.
The little emperor and Prince Jin went out several times to the battlefield, and they were used to seeing dead bodies, so there was no difference on their faces. The Dali Temple Minister was fine, but he just covered his nose a little, but Duke Cai stared at the body for a few glances, and then ran to the corner of the wall to vomit.
"Look, I open my eyes to show me! This is how the minister of Dali Temple investigates the case? If I don't come, this shocking case will be settled by you, right? Continue to interrogate Mrs. Cai and Cai Yi, be sure to give me an explanation!" The little emperor pointed at the nose of the minister of Dali Temple, scolding him, but in fact he felt very happy. These ministers always use his young age as an excuse to reject his various decrees. If it weren't for the millions of troops in the hands of the emperor, he would not be able to sit firmly on the throne.
Now, for the first time in his life, he has cursed these ministers like grandsons. This is simply the pinnacle of his life!
"Dare you ask how the emperor knew that there were still bodies buried in this yard?" The Dali Temple Minister asked curiously while smearing cold sweat.
"Hmph, this is not simple..." The little emperor processed Lin Dan's words and turned them into his own and told them to the Dali Temple Minister. The Dali Temple Minister said with conscience: "The emperor is indeed wise. If you hadn't been able to see the fire and observe the brilliance, I would have been deceived by these two prisoners! I will go and interrogate you now!"
After saying this, his eyes at the little emperor had completely changed. No wonder Prince Jin must support this person ascend the throne, and even killed the other princes, but it turned out that this person, who was indeed extraordinary and intelligent, would definitely become a wise master in the future!
When the little emperor felt the admiration of the people around him, he coughed and felt a little relieved.
Prince Jin glanced at him with a smile, then walked into Mr. Cai's study to check his paintings and articles.
"Xianchang is right. His meaning seems wonderful, but in fact it is just a pattern. He doesn't have his own experience in it. Oh, is this poem he wrote? What a thing! I feel uncomfortable when I read this "Crane Sun" and it feels so dazzling!" The little emperor looked through everything Lin Dan mentioned one by one, muttering words in his mouth.
Prince Jin looked for a while and then went out, staring at the distance, not knowing what he was thinking. When the little emperor came out, he asked in confusion: "You think, why did an extraordinary person like Miss Lin end up being abandoned by his husband?"
"I don't know this, maybe because Xu Zu is blind. Then again, Uncle, didn't you say that you want to repay Miss Lin's life-saving grace and preside over justice for her? Then why didn't you attack Xu Zuguang?"
"No hurry, wait until the imperial examination comes, and it will be a good idea to solve the several hidden tumors in the Imperial College for you." Prince Jin's tone was gentle, but the meaning in his words indicated that Xu Zuguang would face a more tragic encounter than in his previous life.
When the two returned to the front hall, Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Cai had confessed, but it turned out that the first person he killed was the maid who climbed his bed. When he was in a good mood, Mrs. Cai suddenly felt happy and grabbed the maid's neck hard... This was the ultimate joy he had never experienced in his life, but after waking up, he was afraid again. Fortunately, it was late at night. Even when the servant heard the maid's scream, he only thought that they were deeply in love and could not control themselves and did not think much about it. He secretly found Mrs. Cai to deal with the aftermath, so the body was buried in the flower bed, and he casually found an excuse to cover up the maid's disappearance.
The second corpse was the maid's brother, and he was killed just to silence him.
The third corpse was a child of an ordinary farmer whom Mr. Cai was playing outside. When he saw the child playing on the roadside, he looked cute and suddenly had the desire to strangle her. After being in the carriage, he ordered the wet nurse to hide the body in a box and carry it back to the yard, burying it on the spot, but he couldn't help but dig it out and play with it, so he got sick. It's just that the child's parents still don't know that the child is dead, so they just think she is lost and look for it outside every day.
When copying the confession, the Dali Temple Minister's back became colder after wave. Duke Cai, who was listening, grabbed his son's collar several times and asked him why.
Young Master Cai naturally couldn't answer his father's question because he didn't think there was anything wrong with his approach. Isn't it normal to want to destroy something cute? Besides, if his grandmother blocked his way, he naturally wanted to eradicate her.
Duke Cai was unable to communicate with his son, and when he walked out of the side room, he seemed to have been aged for decades, and his spirit suddenly collapsed. He knew that his wife and son could not be saved, and the reputation of the Cai family was completely destroyed, and the family fell apart at this moment. If he had obeyed Master Lin's warning and sent his son away immediately, nothing would have happened. It was a pity that there was no if in life, and he was stubborn and missed this only opportunity.
Thinking of this, Duke Cai fell into deep regret and asked the emperor to retire the next day. The tragedy in his family had spread throughout the capital. Seeing that he could not even manage his family well, the emperor naturally no longer trusted his ability to handle the poor, so he immediately agreed. In fact, Duke Cai, as the minister of the regent, has become more and more arrogant recently, and the little emperor's patience towards him has already come to an end.
No one in the court spoke for him, just because the case was too tragic and the inside story was very terrifying. It was simply unheard of or seen. It was said that the son was not a godfather's fault and could raise a beast like Cai Yi. The character of Duke Cai was also strongly questioned.
Yongxinhou, who was recuperating at home, said proudly to the guests who came to visit: "Look, I just said that Master Lin is a living god. I told him to obey Master Lin's instructions, but he didn't believe it!"
Chapter completed!
