Chapter 146: Clues

Su Jing thought about it sideways before saying, "I don't know the specifics, but I just remember that my father made this dirt slope since we moved here, and at that time, several families around thought that we were going to build a fish pond in the backyard." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Speaking of the past, Su Jing's face rarely showed an innocent look, such a look was the expression he should have at his age, and it suddenly set off the whole person with kindness and loveliness, full of vitality. But in an instant, the expression disappeared into the night sky like fireworks.

Then the neighbors found the good of it, and they all began to follow suit. But the painting of a tiger is not like a cat. Blowing all the soot back to the yard. Li Jin looked at Su Jing's slightly lonely expression, and probably guessed what happened.

"Has anyone blamed your father?"

Su Jing lifted the corners of his mouth mockingly, "Can you talk about it in front of my father? After all, my father didn't force them to make dirt bags at home." It's just their own decision. ”

"That's someone secretly asking you for trouble. Come to think of it, in such a small village, life is peaceful but boring...... You won't have a good time after that. Li Jin said what she had guessed in an affirmative tone.

This must not be escaped, even if the main responsibility for the matter is not Master Su, but in the end the cause of the incident is him. If the villagers don't look for trouble on the surface, the Su family must be in trouble secretly. Although they are all daily chores, they will be disturbed every day.

Su Jing didn't continue on this topic, but just moved his gaze from the small dirt bag in front of him to the mountains in the distance.

At this time, the vast mountain peaks have long been covered with thick snow, and the dark green pines and cypresses are still near the foot of the mountain, showing their tenacious vitality.

"My father has been to the Jinchuan Mountain in Saibei. I have also been to the mountains and mountains in the Lingnan area. After a long time, Su Jing said leisurely.

After Li Jin heard this, he immediately understood the unfinished aftermath of Su Jing's words.

Because he had been to Saibei, Su Jing's father knew that this is a unique way to protect against wind and cold in the north. If you have been to the Lingnan area, then it is likely to be related to the Nanxiang King or the Huaiyang King. Then the person who Father Su went to ask for help at that time was probably one of these two forces. It's just that although there is a scope of direction, this is too wide.

"Can you remember which area it is?" Li Jin wanted to narrow down the scope a little more.

Su Jing's gaze looked a little dazed, and his empty eyes didn't have any focus. It seemed that after a while, Su Jing reacted to Li Jin's question, shook his head and said.

"I only remember that my father once told my mother about a Lingnan dish, saying that it was the only thing I was used to eating in the local area, and I didn't think anything about it at the time, but when I thought about it later, I felt very nostalgic, but I couldn't remember the name of the dish, and I couldn't even remember what it looked like. For a while after that, my mother seemed to be obsessed with studying Lingnan cuisine, and almost all the fruits and vegetables grown in this backyard in late summer were only Lingnan. ”

Li Jin can imagine what a warm scene it was, and can also imagine how happy Su Jing's childhood was, compared to the blow that the accident later hit this warm home and Su Jing, who had always lived a very happy life, although not rich.

Retracting the directionless thoughts that were pulled away, the pedestrians in front of Li Jin became more and more scarce, and the path he had taken the day before yesterday was about two or three intersections. At this point, the direction that can be determined is already there, but some key hints are missing.

After returning to the mansion last night, Li Jin sent another secret letter to the emperor, in which he stated the results of his recent investigation and briefly stated the direction of his investigation. Because it did not involve officials above the third grade, but only hoped that all the dusty files of the officials could be found, Li Jin felt that it was very likely that the emperor would agree to help him.

Although there is a general direction of the search at this time, to know the specific whereabouts of Su's father, only relying on these files left on the face of the officials at this time is not enough to restore the situation when Su Jing's father was taken away. At this time, if you want to find some clues in the pile of old papers, you can only ask insiders to help, but Li Jin himself can't find such a helper anyway, so in addition to asking the emperor for help, Li Jin really can't find any other shortcut.

The emperor's reply was quickly fed back to Li Jin in the form of a secret letter. She was waiting for the dawn under her bed, when there was a sudden ringing in her ears, the slight knock on the pane, the rhythmic sound that seemed particularly incongruous in the silence of the night. I don't know if this is just the feeling of Li Jin who can't fall asleep, or because he has always remembered the secret letter in his heart, anyway, when the first signal sounded, Li Jin heard it and got up.

The emperor's reply was quite satisfactory to Li Jin, at least he did not directly reject Li Jin's request for investigation, and it can even be said that it provided the greatest support for Li Jin's approach. The letter said that tomorrow the Ministry of Shangshu will send someone to Li Jin as a guide to help her find the information she wants. It was only at the end that Li Jin was warned again that officials above the third grade were not allowed to investigate without authorization.

Such a warning gave Li Jin the illusion that the emperor was hinting at himself and investigating in the direction of those who were above the third grade?

It's just that at this time, Li Jin can't care about more things, and now he has to deal with Su Jing's affairs properly.

Coming to the entrance of the path, Li Jin instructed the thirteen-Su Jing to wait around for him, then turned around and sneaked into the palace alone.

If it weren't for Li Jin's habit of sneaking out of the house earlier, such an action would still be very difficult for a lady.

Turning a huge rockery, Li Jin came to the square outside the main hall of the front dynasty through the corridor on the lake. No matter how many times you have seen the scenery here, it will make people feel shocked in the bottom of their hearts, not because of the splendor here, nor because of the sheer scale that can make Li Jin shock from the depths of his soul, from the souls of the craftsmen who are also infused into these buildings.

The fine workmanship of each brick and tile, and the arrangement of each stone and wood are all achievements created by the painstaking accumulation of craftsmen.

Under the reflection of a ray of light, Li Jin looked up at the moment when the newborn sun crossed the cornices of the carved railings. After that, he left the empty square with the Tsing Yi attendant who walked beside him, and it was not the time to go to court at this time, so there were no important officials in and out of here.

came to the ministry with a familiar way, but as soon as he stepped into the door, he was reprimanded.

"Why are you a newcomer? I don't know the rules, so I'm here at this time! The man was also dressed in green clothes, but he was covered with a robe of gauze. Li Jin heard the general say that such a person is the leader of the small officials of each yamen, and it seems that he is directly responsible for the task distribution of these newcomers, so it is not much power, but for newcomers, it is a threshold for whether they can take a shortcut to quickly take the lead.

Although Li Jin has no concerns about this, it's just that at this time, her identity, a young person who has just entered the previous dynasty, no matter what, if she wants not to cause trouble and be inconspicuous, she can only prepare refreshments according to her words at this time.

Fortunately, the person Li Jin was looking for was not in the ministry at the moment, so it was a good thing for her to avoid everyone in the ministry, so as not to be questioned by others.

It's just that this time Li Jin is lacking in skills, but I didn't expect that the work handed over to the newcomers by the Ministry of Officials is really strange and omnipresent, until Li Jin can get out and return to the Council Hall of the Ministry of Officials, it is already time for the sun to rise.
