I’m The Vicious Cannon Fodder In The Book - Chapter 76

When it snows, you can’t go anywhere.

Li Mingjin only punched in the room for a while in the morning.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and the ground is covered with a thick layer. When the snow does not fall, it is necessary to shovel the snow, which is difficult to shovel.

Bored in the afternoon, Li Mingjin threw two sweet potatoes into the brazier and sat and chatted with Luo Shuyu.

Luo Shuyu finished knocking a handful of pumpkin seeds, suddenly sat upright, and told Li Mingjin of her doubts: “His Royal Highness, what is Mr. Chen’s identity?”

Li Mingjin flipped the sweet potatoes in the brazier with a small iron rod. He suddenly wanted to give Luo Shuyu a taste of the roasted sweet potatoes he made: “Huh? Why did you ask this all of a sudden.”

Luo Shuyu: “Because I think it’s a little strange, first of all, he suddenly came to the door, and it was yours who defected, and then I think his surname is Chen, I have a little doubt that he may have something to do with my grandfather, and I don’t know if I think too much. “

Li Mingjin was taken aback by his suspicion, and it was indeed a little strange, but Chen Rong’s identity was indeed verified, and there was no major problem.

What’s wrong with Chen Rong? Is he really related to the Chen family?

Li Mingjin: “You don’t have any problem thinking that way, but the Chen family where Chen Rong lives doesn’t seem to have much to do with your mother’s Chen family?”

Luo Shuyu: “Would you like to call Chen Rong over to ask? Anyway, if you are idle now, you are idle.”

Li Mingjin: “Ask, I don’t want people around me to have unknown identities.”

After all, the two were activists, and immediately sent someone to invite Chen Rong, who was huddled on the kang to read a book.

As soon as he entered the door, Chen Rong complained to the two of them, “It’s snowing so hard, you asked me to come over and eat roasted sweet potatoes?”

That’s right, at this time, the sweet potatoes baked by Li Mingjin himself came out. He was peeling off the charred coat for Luo Shuyu, and his fingers were stained black. Luo Shuyu actually said that the browned deliciousness should not be peeled off.

Chen Rong thought to himself that the royal couple was very lifelike.

Li Mingjin pointed to the small basket on the side: “If you want to eat it, you bake it yourself.”

Chen Rong didn’t really want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so he sat down and drank the high-quality tea from Li Mingjin, all of which were brought over from the capital. It would be a pity not to enjoy it.

Luo Shuyu asked him, “Mr. Chen, I heard from Dr. Lin that you were not feeling well the first two days. Are you feeling better now?”

Chen Rong said, “My senior brother made a fuss, nothing happened, he just coughed.”

After Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu shared a sweet potato, they cleaned their hands and drank tea with Chen Rong.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious, and for a while I really didn’t know how to speak.

Li Mingjin suddenly said: “Mr. Chen, the Fourth Prince recently checked an old case. This case may be related to the Yan family. I think you will be interested in this old case.”

Chen Rong is still very interested in the case, and is very sharp: “What kind of old case?”

In the eyes of others, he is erudite and talented, and many people are willing to ask him to solve their problems.

Li Mingjin said while observing Chen Rong’s reaction: “Fifteen years ago, when General Wei was still in Gucheng, there was a major case of food embezzlement. There are many officials involved, and even the minister of the household is involved.”

Luo Shuyu didn’t say a word, but he observed it carefully. When he mentioned this case, the smile on Chen Rong’s face stiffened for a moment.

Chen Rong also observed their expressions and took a deep breath: “You called me here today to discuss the details of this case with me?”

Li Mingjin shook his head: “What do you think?”

Chen Rong: “Your Highness may wish to speak directly.”

Li Mingjin: “Well, I know you are a cheerful person. I did investigate your identity when you entered my door. There is no problem with your identity. The past is very simple, but the simple past is not enough to make you have To aid my determination, I want to know if you are hiding anything from us.”

Chen Rong smiled relievedly: “It turns out that His Highness has long suspected my identity.”

Yes, Li Mingjin doubted it, but he never confirmed it. This time he jumped out of an old case, and he figured it out at once, otherwise he would not have promised to call Chen Rong when Luo Shuyu mentioned it. Chen Rong got the correct answer.

Li Mingjin: “I don’t want to know the reason why you entered my door from someone else’s mouth.”

What a smart person Chen Rong is, he looked at Luo Shuyu, but this time he didn’t call him honorably, “How about you?”

Luo Shuyu said, “My Highness and I have the same idea.”

Chen Rong picked up the teacup and took a sip: “Yes, my relationship with the Chen family is very close.”

Luo Shuyu watched Chen Rong’s expression drop, and had a hunch that what Chen Rong was going to say next might not be as easy as he imagined.

If the Chen family returned to their hometown safe and sound, why would Chen Rong live in another Chen surname home? Another kind of incognito.

Luo Shuyu tried his best to calm himself: “It’s very related, who are you from the Chen family?”

Chen Rong said, “In terms of seniority, I am your cousin.”

Luo Shuyu did not expect to recognize relatives so quickly.

Li Mingjin: “You said yes? How can you prove that you are the Chen family?”

Chen Rong said: “You wait for me for a while, I will ask someone to go back and get something. I thought about confessing my identity to you, but I have never found a chance.”

He asked the person who was serving him to go back and get something.

During the waiting period, Chen Rong told them some details about the “Gucheng Liangchen Case”.

Chen Rong: “The Gucheng Liangshang case is actually far from being as simple as we imagined. There are many details in it. Before my father left, he left me a note, which describes the details of the Gucheng Liangshang case. In this case, my father and other convicted officials were all framed by others. In fact, the whereabouts of those rations are still unknown. If someone uses that batch of silver, it must be related to this case. I went to the capital to investigate this matter secretly. But all the evidence has long been covered up. However, I have also found a few people and found some evidence, which is related to the Yan family. Four years ago, I was almost discovered during the investigation, and I only entered your door. “

Li Mingjin raised his eyebrows and said, “Come to my house to hide in peace?”

Chen Rong said frankly: “It really meant this at the beginning. At the time, it seemed that the Third Prince’s Mansion was not well-regarded, so it was very suitable for me to secretly inquire about some things. However, I didn’t expect His Majesty to give you marriages. Later It changed my mind.”

“You already knew about my relationship with you, but you didn’t tell me.” Luo Shuyu was a little angry, but he didn’t know what he was angry about.

A flash of grief and anger flashed in Chen Rong’s eyes and said, “I can’t say that my grandfather was killed when he returned to his hometown, and I also survived by stealing it. Only dead people won’t leak secrets, and I won’t think about overturning the case.”

Luo Shuyu’s hands trembled slightly: “What did you say? My grandfather was killed on the way back home?”

Chen Rong recalled: “Yes, my father and mother, the whole family except me was killed. I was hidden in the grass by my grandfather and father to escape the disaster. Later, I was rescued by a passing couple with the surname of Chen. My son was infected with the cold on the way and died, so he raised me as a parent, so no one knows my true origin, and I am actually happy that you can doubt me today because of the surname Chen.”

Luo Shuyu’s eyes reddened: “I don’t know, I thought that after my mother died, my grandfather didn’t contact me because of my father’s renewal.”

Li Mingjin handed the handkerchief to Luo Shuyu: “Is this the truth?”

Chen Rong: “Yes, I only went to the capital because I wanted revenge.”

Li Mingjin frowned and said, “Why did the Chen family get wiped out, but no one knows about it?”

Chen Rongdao: “Someone has been falsifying the signs that our Chen family is still alive, although it is not perfect, but it is enough to be fake, and our Chen family is guilty, no one will notice the abnormality of our family, even if there is abnormality, they will. It feels very normal, just like the third prince, he is farther away from us because of the long journey and the death of his mother.”

Luo Shuyu remembered the letter he found when he just came back: “My grandfather left a letter to my mother before he left the capital. Did he foresee his future when he wrote this letter?”

Chen Rong: “Yes, I just didn’t expect it to come so suddenly and so quickly.”

Having said that, the person who went back to the yard to get something came back, it was a sandalwood box.

After Chen Rong opened it, he handed one of the jade pendants to Luo Shuyu: “This is the ancestral jade pendant of our family. As long as our descendants of the Chen family have one piece, you will also have one.”

Luo Shuyu picked up this transparent jade pendant and nodded: “I have it too, it was left to me by my mother.”

Chen Rong: “There is also a notebook and a ledger, which my grandfather stuffed me when he hid me. I think that notebook is the reason why our Chen family can’t live.”

Luo Shuyu wiped away her tears and asked, “Is this also related to my mother’s departure?”

Not long after the accident at the Chen family, his mother died of sudden poisoning.

Li Mingjin: “Isn’t my mother-in-law poisoned by Liu’s?”

Luo Shuyu: “Speaking disrespectfully, I always felt that my father knew about my mother’s poisoning, and after I learned that Liu was poisoned, he always wanted to save her, but he suddenly supported her. I seem to have figured out something, a bit like taking Liu as a scapegoat, can we go to the nunnery and ask Liu? Is there anything she hasn’t said yet?”

Li Mingjin is a little guilty, Liu Shi has already passed away, and it is impossible to live again.

It is better to take advantage of today to tell the truth. After hesitating for a while, Li Mingjin said: “Yu’er, there is something I have not told you, and I will not hide it from you today.”

Luo Shuyu looked at him in disbelief: “You also have something to hide from me?”

Li Mingjin: “I’m sorry, I thought it didn’t matter if you didn’t know, but today I don’t want to hide it from you. It’s about the Liu family. Your father didn’t want to send her to a good nunnery, so he found a death row prisoner to replace her. I took her and sent her back to the Luo family’s hometown. On the way back, I met a bandit who lost her life.”

Liu Shi is dead?

From Li Mingjin’s point of view, Liu’s death can indeed not be told to Luo Shuyu, so as not to add to his troubles.

Luo Shuyu: “I’m not angry with you, just, is the truth of my mother’s poisoning…”

Chen Rong: “Actually, I found something related to your father. I don’t know if it will help with the truth of aunt’s death.”

Luo Shuyu: “What did you find?”

Chen Rong: “Luo Renshou actually has contacts with the Yan family. I also accidentally discovered that he is very smooth and cautious, and it is difficult to get hold of him.”

Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu have already begun to accept Chen Rong’s new identity.

In fact, Chen Rong has been in a relationship with them in Gucheng these years. Apart from concealing the identity of Chen’s only son, he basically digs his heart out for them in other aspects. Now that they talk about it, the three of them get along more naturally. .

Li Mingjin: “I didn’t realize this. If he has contacts with the Yan family, doesn’t that mean that his mother-in-law’s affairs have nothing to do with him?”

Luo Shuyu felt a chill in his heart now. In his last life, he still had hopes for this father. Now, the more he digs down, the more he can find out that he is an unfathomable person, and there are so many unspeakable things hidden in him. Ren Shou was more terrifying than he imagined.

Chen Rong, who had proved his identity, was relaxed, but now it was Luo Shuyu who was looking worse and worse.

The Luo family and the Chen family are a bunch of things.

Luo Shuyu didn’t think about Liu’s killing his mother, but Luo Renshou encouraged him to kill with a knife behind his back.

Luo Shuyu guessed: “After the Chen family was destroyed, my mother was also brutally murdered. Maybe Liu’s poison would not kill my mother, but someone knew about her poisoning and secretly wanted my mother’s life. Only Luo Renshou knows this.”

Chen Rong: “But you have no evidence.”

Luo Shuyu: “There will be no evidence at all. I now suspect that Liu’s younger brother and the maid are deliberately left behind, and they are all direct evidence pointing directly to Liu’s. The messenger behind the scenes has completely escaped, and no one will think of it. It’s him.”

Only Luo Renshou can do this, everything can only be arranged by him, there is no one else, and there will be no one else.

If he is from the Yan family, then he and the Chen family are opposites!

If Luo Shuyu is not reborn, all this will be covered up.

Since they came to Gucheng, the Luo family’s affairs have been relatively less concerned. Now, Luo Renshou must also focus on it!

Luo Shuyu didn’t expect to be pushed to this point step by step. His mother’s death was just the beginning, and he suffered this calamity just because he blocked the way of others.

Li Mingjin clenched Luo Shuyu’s chilling hand: “Don’t worry, we’ll send someone to check it out. If the Luo family hooks up with the Yan family, I won’t let them go.”

The Yan family’s collusion with court officials was deeper than they knew. Fortunately, they discovered Chen Rong’s identity in time.

Chen Rong: “It’s better than this, Your Highness, since the Fourth Prince has already investigated the Gucheng Liangchen case, why don’t I guide them to find out more.”

Luo Shuyu hurriedly stopped: “No, you can’t take risks!”

Just confirmed that he is one of his relatives, and it may be the remaining relatives of the Chen family, so he can’t watch him take risks.

Chen Rongqing coughed: “Don’t worry, I finally won’t make fun of my identity with my cousin. I will send another person to secretly contact the fourth prince, who is also a victim of this case like me. I want to find out. How many people are related to the Yan family behind this, this is a breakthrough to knock down the Yan family.”

The Lin family fell fast because of the lack of background, and the Yan family was different. It was too difficult to overthrow it without a fatal handle.

Nowadays, Emperor Tiansheng can still press down. If Emperor Tiansheng leaves suddenly, the Yan family will definitely send the prince up directly, and it will be difficult for them to turn around.

At this point, Li Mingjin and Luo Shuyu are both willing to listen to Chen Rong. In this matter, he has been planning longer than them, he is clearer about every detail than them, and his heart for revenge is firmer.

Chen Rong took his jade pendant back to his yard.

The sweet potatoes baked on the table were cold, and Luo Shuyu broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth: “Your Highness, this sweet potato is no longer sweet.”

Li Mingjin wiped away his tears: “Then I’ll bake another one.”

Luo Shuyu nodded: “Okay.”

At night, Luo Shuyu had nightmares at night because of his emotional ups and downs during the day.

For a while, he dreamed of Li Mingjin who was covered in blood, another dream of Luo Renshou who was slashing at him with a knife, and another time of his mother who was bleeding from Qiqiao.

Li Mingjin shook him awake: “Yu’er, wake up, you have a nightmare!”

Luo Shuyu looked at him in confusion: “Your Highness, don’t die, what will I do if you die?”

Li Mingjin didn’t know what he dreamed, so he could only comfort him: “As long as you live, I will live, not die.”

Luo Shuyu slowed down and leaned on his chest, unable to fall asleep, so he said to him with a crying voice, “Your Highness, tell me something embarrassing about you, and make me happy.”

Li Mingjin pursed his lips: “I have no embarrassment.”

Luo Shuyu: “Liar.”

Li Mingjin: “Really not.”

Luo Shuyu: “Liar.”

Li Mingjin: “Does it count for my concubine to wear girls’ clothes for me?”

Luo Shuyu: “Forget it.”

The two chatted and chatted, and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

After crying for a while, Luo Shuyu felt much more stable when she woke up the next day.

It was snowing again outside, Li Mingjin went to the study, Luo Shuyu wanted to find him after lunch.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Ansan walking through the roof and stopped him: “Ansan, come down and ask you something.”

An San immediately jumped in front of Luo Shuyu: “I don’t know what the master ordered.”

Luo Shuyu: “You have been with His Royal Highness for so many years, do you know what embarrassing things he has?”

Ansan asked him carefully: “Master, can you give the little one a salary increase?”

Luo Shuyu chuckled: “You can talk about it first and have a look.”

Ansan recalled for a moment: “His Royal Highness injured his leg up and down, not by jumping off a cliff.”

Luo Shuyu: “Huh? When did we get married?”

An San nodded fiercely: “Yes, His Highness jumped off the wall and twisted when he was quietly visiting you at night.”

Luo Shuyu’s face was very calm, she turned and walked towards the study, Li Mingjin happened to open the window, saw Luo Shuyu walking towards this side, jumped through the window, and went to lead Luo Shuyu.

Li Mingjin asked him, “Yu’er, do you still eat roasted sweet potatoes today?”

Luo Shuyu lowered her head and stared at his feet without speaking. Li Mingjin saw An San’s back, leaving on his toes like a thief, and his heart skipped a beat.

The author has something to say: Three Princes: Daughter-in-law, go realistic today!

Luo Shuyu: Oh?

Third Prince: I am a doctor, you are my patient, you asked me to see the male department, and during the process of seeing me, you fell in love with me at first sight and gave me your arms!

Luo Shuyu: Okay. In fact, you are my stand-in for Bai Yueguang…

Third Prince: How can you have the white moonlight!

Luo Shuyu: I have no white moonlight.

Third Prince: No, you can’t have white moonlight.

Luo Shuyu: Well, let’s start the game again.
