Heavy rain pouring, mixed with the chill of early spring, like hail smashed on the bluestone bricks of the Huaiyin Hou Mansion, the entire Huaiyin Hou Mansion was shrouded in the night of the rain curtain like a curtain, but half a day was decadent and depressed to the extreme, with the main courtyard and a corridor in the middle of the mountain guest house as the dividing line, the Huaiyin Hou Mansion was divided into two, the guest house was inhabited by distinguished guests and should not be disturbed, all the access control of the main courtyard was controlled by the Xuanwu army, outside the Huaiyin Hou Mansion, the Xuanwu army stood in the rain, all eyes like torches!

Zheng Lin stood at the door of the main hall of the main courtyard, watching the heavy rain fall in the courtyard, the grass and trees were beaten to the east and west, the raindrops smashed on the stone slab and splashed in all directions, the water flow at the eaves of the corridor rattled, because of the cold, the courtyard was born with a little white mist, it was extraordinarily noisy, but it was a different kind of quiet, there was a night light at the gate of the courtyard, but tonight's Huaiyin Marquis Mansion was no longer as bright and brilliant as before, Zheng Lin's expression was as cold as ever, and there was still a killing atmosphere brought from the western battlefield!

"General—"

The half-hidden courtyard door was violently pushed open, and a soldier walked in with a letter of worship in his arms, the soldier held a paper umbrella, because he asked the subordinates of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion to help find it, it was the pattern of a goose yellow spring apricot, the color made Zheng Lin frown, he raised his chin, "What do you want to shout so loudly! Although this is not a military camp, there are also the rules of the Xuanwu Army!"

One sentence made the soldier's face slightly pale, but the soldier suddenly lowered his head and didn't dare to say more, he only walked quickly to the bottom of the eaves, the rain was too strong, the hem of his robe was wet, but the post that was protected in his arms was unharmed, the soldier handed the post up, and his tone was lowered by two points, "General, this is sent by the eldest prince of Qi State." ”

Zheng Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand to take the post, opened it and frowned, closed the post with a "snap", he turned around and entered the hall, the soldier seemed to be a cronie, saw this and handed over the umbrella to the guard standing under the eaves, and also followed in, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a high stack of posts on the high table in the hall door, and the soldier's eyes gave birth to a clear light, and saw Zheng Lin put the worship post of the eldest prince of Qi at the top of the stack of posts!

"Is the general really missing?"

The soldier asked hesitantly, Zheng Lin looked at the stack of prayer stickers for a moment, then turned around and walked to the window, "Among the twelve vassal states, except for the Dai Kingdom, the rest are here." ”

The soldier at the door walked in two steps and nodded, "Yes, General." ”

Zheng Lin's chin was slightly raised, "The post here seems to be one place away." ”

Two points of surprise flashed in the soldier's eyes, and seeing that Zheng Lin didn't speak, he turned around and walked to the side of the high table, he picked up the post and looked at it, and suddenly turned around, "General, I don't see Yan Guo's post." ”

Zheng Lin narrowed his eyes, "Yes, there is no Yan Guo." ”

The soldier's face was solemn for a moment, "General, with the prestige of the Zheng family, even the lady of Shu in the mansion does not dare to slack off, but this Yan Shizi is very ...... This time, Yan Kingdom won Nine Cities, what do you think of this, General?"

The Shen family is the founding father of the empire, generation of Zaifu, although the qualifications of the Zheng family are not comparable to the Shen family, but it is also the ancestors of the previous generations are tiger generals in the court, and now it is already a generation of imperial generals, the people of the Zheng family have always been in Haojing, and the battlefield is also in the west, so this time Zheng Lin arrived in Shu to be particularly rare, he just grounded Luo Chengxin and someone sent a prayer post, probably looking at the wind and moving, and then the worship post came one after another, and now even Jiang Yao moved, but there was still that one did not move.

"General, if you want to guess a little, I'm afraid that Yan Guo's post will arrive later!"

Seeing that Zheng Lin didn't answer for a long time, the soldier said one more word, but Zheng Lin shook his head, "I'm afraid, we can't wait for Yan Guo's worship posts, these posts, let's put them on hold for the time being." ”

The soldier raised his eyebrows, "No matter how Yan is a vassal state, they are so noisy in the north, it is impossible for the emperor not to have a little opinion in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that Xirong is making a lot of trouble, maybe it will be ......."

The soldier wanted to speak and stopped, but Zheng Lin understood what he meant, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and his tone became extremely cold, "We know this, and Yan Guo also knows this, otherwise, do you think he will send troops to Zhao State and Jin State lightly?"

The soldier raised his eyebrows, "General, but they started fighting more than half a year ago, and Xijon hadn't ...... at that time."

The soldier was halfway through his words, his eyelashes jumped, and then his eyes widened in disbelief, "General, this time Xirong came suddenly, how many of our spies stared at them day and night and were caught off guard, but the time of the battle between Yan Guo and Zhao Guo was just right, is it ...... Do you doubt that Yan Guo knew about Xirong's movements before we did?"

Zheng Lin's body was full of momentum, but he didn't speak, and the dark light in the eyes of the soldier behind him flashed, "Yan Guo's consecutive victories over Zhao State and Jin State are already like a bamboo, if it is connected, it is really unbelievable, what kind of master is there in Yan Kingdom?"

Zheng Lin's chin was slightly raised, and his tone was deep, "Shang Jue." ”

The soldier blinked, "Does the general really think it's that Yan Shizi......"

Zheng Lin didn't say much, only raised his eyes to look at the sky outside, the night slowly fell, the hour was not early, he twisted his brows, "Go and see how the interrogation is, come and report it immediately, this matter is uncertain, no one will see it." ”

The soldier's expression was solemn, and he turned around and ran away, Zheng Lin was still standing in the distance, his eyes turned, but he looked at the northeast of the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, which was the direction of the guest house, and the direction of the snow courtyard.

The night was like ink, and it made him more and more cold and hard like iron in his ink-colored armor!

The cronies and soldiers went and returned quickly, and with a stick of incense, they ran in through the courtyard gate again, and went straight into the hall, and when they entered the door, they said, "General, the trial is over, here is the confession——"

He held a stack of papers in his hand, Zheng Lin turned around and took it, looking through them one by one, except for the first one, which was carefully read, and the rest was swept over, but everyone's confessions meant the same thing, since this is the case, the facts seem to be clear!

Zheng Lin's face was calm, and the cronies on the side had already read the confession

The cronies had already read the confession, so they naturally knew what Zheng Lin was thinking, and couldn't help but say, "General, everyone's confessions are the same, it seems that the third young master and the housekeeper really don't know what business Luo Shunhua has done, but now that Luo Shunhua and his person are dead, how can we be convicted? ”

Zheng Lin handed over the confession to the cronie, then took the cloak hanging on the side and tied it to his body, and went out without saying anything, the cronie was stunned, and hurriedly went out with an umbrella and followed, "Where is the general going?"

Zheng Lin strode forward, "Go find the housekeeper." ”

The cronies didn't dare to say anything, they only silently followed with umbrellas, the rain was unabated, and the cold was seeping, but all the soldiers they met on the road were standing mighty, which showed that the Xuanwu Army was well-trained, Zheng Lin walked all the way to a courtyard, and the soldiers in front of the courtyard immediately saluted, Zheng Lin did not go in, only raised his chin, "Take the housekeeper out." ”

This is the place where Wang Jie is imprisoned, the soldier obeys the order and moves, turns around and enters the courtyard gate, and takes Wang Jie out after a while, Wang Jie seems to be twenty years old at this moment, the hoarfrost on the sideburns is more and more obvious, his face is pale, and he walked out with his back bent, and when he saw Zheng Lin standing at the door, he knelt on the muddy ground with his knees bent.

"The general called the villain to come and I don't know why, the confession just now ......"

Wang Jie said very hard, Zheng Lin waved his hand to stop him, "Ben will ask you, Ben will believe that you don't know how Luo Shunhua collaborated with Xirong, but you must know where Luo Shunhua puts the important things on weekdays!"

Wang Jie's face was confused for a moment, and then his eyelashes jumped, "The general is talking ......"

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Lin knew that he had guessed well, and then his eyes sharpened, Wang Jie was frightened by Zheng Lin's gaze, and blurted out, "Did the general mean that there was a secret compartment in the Hou Ye's study?"

Zheng Lin's eyes faded by two points, and he said bluntly, "Lead the way." ”

Wang Jie gritted his teeth, and stood up after a silent pause, the rain was too heavy, but Wang Jie didn't realize it, only walked stiffly in the direction of Luo Shunhua's study, Zheng Lin walked behind Wang Jie, seeing that he was walking slowly and did not urge, not long after the study courtyard was close in front of him, Wang Jie stopped, he looked up at the courtyard in front of him, his expression was wooden, but there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, as if he was struggling and hesitating, Zheng Lin had to come forward, "You have no other choice, lead the way." ”

Wang Jie shuddered, was stunned for a moment and walked forward, entered the courtyard and went directly into the study, there were already soldiers waiting in the courtyard, seeing Zheng Linlai only shook his head at Zheng Lin, it seemed that he had already searched but found nothing.

Zheng Lin raised his chin and motioned to Wang Jie, "He knows where it is, let him take it and find it." ”

Wang Jie trembled into the threshold of the study, his eyes flickered and looked in, he wanted to sweep around, but he couldn't help but look at the bookcase against the wall behind the bookcase, he only looked at it for a moment and then pretended to look away inadvertently, Zheng Lin, who was standing beside him, frowned, looked directly at the bookcase and said, "Find it there." ”

As soon as the words fell, Wang Jie's face turned pale, and he saw several soldiers come forward to search, Wang Jie's legs were weak and he knelt down again, and the soldiers took down the books and checked them in a hurry, but the books on the bookcase looked very ordinary, and there was nothing unusual, Wang Jie's face stiffened for a long time, and he suddenly looked up and said, "Behind the bookcase, there is a dark grid in the wall." ”

The sharp edge of Zheng Lin's eyes was slightly relaxed, and the soldiers looked at it, and they didn't know who touched what, the bookcase suddenly moved slowly to both sides, and in an instant, the dark grid behind the bookcase was revealed, and the spirits of the people in the room were shocked, Wang Jie lowered his head in frustration, and said weakly, "The villain has seen the Hou Ye take the documents of the business from inside...... That thing must still be in there right now...... It's just that the key was also taken away by Hou Ye, and you may not be able to open it......"

Wang Jie said slowly, but Zheng Lin's face was already in his chest, he glanced down at Wang Jie, and was about to speak, but there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, it was a deputy general who hurried forward, "General, the last general has been looking for you for a long time!"

Zheng Lin's eyes sank, "What's wrong?!"

The deputy general touched the rain on his face, and when he was about to speak, he saw Wang Jie kneeling on the ground, and two complicated shimmers flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Zheng Lin and said, " The last general went to search the courtyard of the Hou Mansion one by one, and was stopped when he arrived at the main mother's house, the door of the house in the courtyard was locked, and the people of the Hou Mansion said that the wife of the Hou of Huaiyin was sick and was grounded by the Hou of Huaiyin, and the last general did not want to embarrass a woman, but when he wanted to leave, he felt that the atmosphere in the courtyard was not right, and then asked someone to smash the door of the house and go in to see, the housemother in the house had already ...... Dead! Dead for days!"

Zheng Lin's already calm expression changed slightly, and his brows furrowed tightly......

"How many days has the Marquis of Huaiyin been dead?"

Zheng Lin looked at Wang Jie, his tone was deep and scary, Wang Jie's already depressed face shook, the corners of his lips trembled but he couldn't speak, Zheng Lin squinted his eyes, but he turned his eyes to look at the dark grid on the wall, although there was no key, but these Xuanwu soldiers were all excellent, and they were killed from the battlefield, and they destroyed the dark grid in three or two clicks, pushed the door open, and immediately revealed the ebony box inside, the soldiers turned to look at Zheng Lin, Zheng Lin nodded.

After getting the order, the soldiers moved the box out of the box after dividing it by two, the box was opened, and there were confidential things such as letterheads, documents and seals, Zheng Lin walked to the front of the bookcase, and his eyes fell on a document accurately, and the soldiers on the side handed the document up with a very eye-catching eye, Zheng Lin frowned fiercely as soon as he opened it!

Wang Jie knelt beside him, and also saw the document in Zheng Lin's hand, the corners of his lips trembled a little, and finally said, "General, the villain still remembers that this is the document, and the Hou Ye took out this document before he went to see the weapons last night......

Zheng Lin narrowed his eyes, put the "snap" of the paper in his sleeve, and then glanced at the remaining letterheads.

"Keep searching and see if you can find anything else. ”

Several soldiers responded in unison, and Zheng Lin turned his eyes to look at Wang Jie, "Since you're here."

"Since you came, the affairs of the Hou Mansion must always be thoroughly investigated and submitted, before coming, Ben Jiang knew that Mrs. Huaiyin Hou was recuperating, but he had never heard the news that he was dead, Wang Jie, you and Ben Jiang should take a trip, the reason for the period, I think you are very clear. ”

Wang Jie trembled when he heard this, the corners of his lips moved a few times but he didn't say anything, but Zheng Lin ignored that much, turned around and walked out, his cronies helped chase after the umbrella and followed, the deputy general gave the two soldiers on the side a look, and followed Zheng Lin, Wang Jie was still kneeling on the ground motionless, and the soldiers behind him kicked him lightly or heavily!

"Didn't hear the general?!Still not leaving?!"

Wang Jie gritted his teeth and stood up, walked out of the study, and went directly into the rain!

The night is dark, and the Hou Mansion, which used to be brightly lit, is dark everywhere tonight, Wang Jie raised his eyes and was stabbed by the strange darkness, he didn't know how Luo Shunhua died, but he felt that Luo Shunhua died early, maybe it was okay!

The road from the study courtyard to the plum garden is not long, all the way, the rain is unabated, even if there is an umbrella Zheng Lin is semi-wet, not to mention a few people behind him, before arriving at the plum garden, there are already soldiers of the Xuanwu Army guarding, as soon as he sees Zheng Lin, he salutes and opens the door, Zheng Lin walked in, and first saw a few mothers-in-law kneeling under the eaves of the main porch, those people trembled and their faces were pale, and they were even more frightened when they saw Zheng Lin and other big people coming, and they all lay on the ground and shouted for mercy.

Zheng Lin glanced at them, his eyes fell on the door of the main hall, and the deputy general behind him followed, and said in a somewhat calm tone, "The person is in the room, the general can go and see for himself, the person has been dead for a few days when he sees it, but he was strangled to death." ”

When the adjutant general said this, he didn't lower his voice, even the mothers-in-law heard it, and those few people trembled together, and one couldn't help but kneel a few steps and lie on the ground and said, "My lord's life, my lord, the villains are just guarding here on the orders of the Hou Ye, right...... The housekeeper came to deliver the food every day, and he was the only one who went in each time...... Afterward...... Later, he also said that his wife's illness would infect people, and the little people didn't know anything...... Adults spare their lives...... Spare your life......"

What the mother-in-law said was very miserable, Zheng Lin listened to it with a slight pause, and when he looked back, Wang Jie's face was pale, and he didn't even defend himself, Zheng Lin turned around and entered the house without squinting.

The lieutenant hurriedly followed and led the way, "General, in the inner room." ”

Zheng Lin walked straight to the inner room, the door of the inner room had been opened at the moment, just walked to the door he frowned, the perennial war is extremely sensitive to the smell of the dead, although it is only a star, but Zheng Lin still smelled, he kept walking in, at a glance saw the person lying on the bed, from a distance only one person sleeping with a brocade quilt, but Zheng Lin clearly knew that the person on the bed had been dead for a few days, he walked to the window, and sure enough, he saw a blue and white dead face.

Zhu was also a beauty when he was young, and now he is old and has no less charm because he was born in a rich and noble family and is properly maintained, but now, all Zheng Lin sees is a face that has begun to rot and swell because he has been dead for several days, and his blood vessels have long turned black, faintly visible under the blue and white skin, which is extremely hideous and terrifying.

"Ben Jiang only knows that the son is dead, but he doesn't know that the wife is dead, and he was murdered, this news is tightly sealed, and the people who block it are still the Hou Ye and the housekeeper, and it seems to be very clear during the period. ”

After Zheng Lin finished speaking, he turned to look at Wang Jie, who was standing at the door and didn't want to approach, "You can talk about it." ”

Wang Jie gritted his teeth, swept his gaze over the bed, and then said with a dead heart, "Yes...... It's Master Hou...... Hou Ye accidentally killed his wife...... Because the sword test conference is approaching, I keep it a secret...... Hou Ye asked the villain to deliver meals every day, pretending that his wife was just grounded to recuperate, and said...... said that after the sword test meeting, the idea was rounded, and it was said that the lady was sick and died......"

Zheng Lin squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu's corpse on the bed.

The deputy general on one side is five big and three rough, and his temperament is also very upright, and when he heard this, he said, "Damn, this Luo Shunhua not only collaborated with the enemy to commit treason and murdered our brothers, but also killed his wife with his own hands, fortunately he died, if he was still alive, he should really be sentenced to death!"

After a slight pause, the general's eyes were suspicious again, "However, why would Luo Shunhua attack his wife......?" Is this Lady of Huaiyin Marquis knowing some amazing secret?"

Zheng Lin touched the paperwork in his sleeve, "Send a servant to check it, and then restrain the person, write down what he just said, and then write a confession carefully, and submit it to Hojing together in two days." ”

The adjutant general nodded in response, Zheng Lin didn't say anything more and turned straight out, just walked to the door, the cronies with the umbrella who were waiting outside walked in with a strange look, and several people met at the door of the inner room, the cronies first glanced at the inner room, and then the corners of his lips twitched, "General, this Huaiyin Marquis Mansion is really weird, and the brothers found the corpse again!"

Zheng Lin frowned, and the deputy general's eyes also opened, "There are corpses again?!"

The cronie nodded, looked at Wang Jie's silhouette that was stunned on the side, and said, "That's right, there are still two corpses, both found in the treasury of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and they are two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls. ”

After a slight pause, the cronie said, "The five princesses of Shu who came to the Hou Mansion to participate in the sword trial conference two days ago disappeared together with her close maids, and the brothers below came to ask the general what he meant, do you want to inform Mrs. Duan of this matter?"

Zheng Lin's eyes flashed with two dimes, and he nodded, "Let Mrs. Duan recognize the person first." ”

The cronie nodded and turned to go out, Zheng Lin stood still and didn't move, and after a moment, he turned his head to look at Wang Jie, "Come to think of it, you are also clear about this matter, so continue to walk with Ben Jiang." ”

Wang Jie stood stunned, his legs were about to collapse to the ground, the soldiers on the side saw him and quickly helped him, Zheng Lin saw it in his eyes, turned his head expressionlessly and walked out, the rain outside was still pouring down, Zheng Lin walked into the rain quickly, and the guards at the gate of the courtyard naturally took him in the direction of the inner courtyard treasury, Wang Jie was half-dragged and half-supported by the two soldiers to follow behind, and the whole person was already like a dead walking body

The dead are generally lifeless, and the filth and secrecy of this house cannot even hide the thickest night!

The Huaiyin Marquis Mansion occupies a huge area, although there are not many masters, but there are many craftsmen and slaves in the house, so even the treasury is divided into several places, this inner courtyard treasury is naturally a place where the silk silk and gold and silver utensils are placed in the hands of the master's mother, the corpses of Feng Nianjing and her maid were placed in a corner in the original silk box, the box is not big, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls were bent into a strange arc and stuffed into the box, because after two or three days, even if the body was carried out, it was still stiff into a bent appearance and could not be soft for a long time, when Zheng Lin came in, he saw the pinch marks on Feng Nianjing's neck at a glance！

"General, the rain is too heavy, Mrs. Duan will send someone over immediately!"

The people below stepped forward to report, Zheng Lin nodded with a cold face, and the deputy general on the side stepped forward and shook his head, "Actually, it can already be determined, looking at this person's clothes, no matter what, you have to be a princess-level person to wear it." ”

The royal family of the various princes of Da Yin is strict in rank, and the clothing is also exquisite, only the princess's clothes can see the deer pattern, and the palace skirt worn by Feng Nianjing has a deer pattern, Zheng Lin did not speak when he heard this, only turned his head to look at Wang Jie in the back, the guards have been dragging Wang Jie, as soon as he let go at this moment, Wang Jie immediately fell to the ground weakly, he stood up and knelt on the floor, hanging his head like a puppet, Zheng Lin didn't seem to be in a hurry, waiting for the person sent by Duan Lingyan.

After another stick of incense, the voice of people sounded outside, a maid walked in with a maid with an umbrella, the maid's face was calm, but he was not afraid at all, and when he entered the door, he swept his eyes to see who was in charge here, and when he saluted Zheng Lin, "The slave is ordered by the lady to come and ask General Zheng for peace." ”

Zheng Lin didn't speak, only raised his chin in the direction of Feng Nianjing's corpse.

The maid stood up, took a shallow breath before walking towards the place where the corpse was placed, and before she could get closer, the maid looked sad at her feet, and blurted out an exclamation, "Fifth princess-"

The words settled, and the person had already knelt down towards Feng Nianjing's corpse.

Zheng Lin stepped forward, "Can you recognize it?!"

The maid's eyes were red, and the corners of her lips twitched before nodding, "Yes, I recognize, it's the princess and her maidservant, I only knew that the princess disappeared when she left her place of residence that day, but I didn't want to ...... How could this be ......"

The maid's words were already a little panicked, and her expression was very sad, but Zheng Lin didn't want to listen to her.

As soon as he turned around, Zheng Lin looked at Wang Jie again, "Say it." ”

Wang Jie knelt on the ground, trembling for a moment when he heard the words, and then raised his head, "General...... Villain ......"

Zheng Lin frowned, "You have no other choice. ”

Wang Jie's expression was concerned, and his eyes turned red for a while, but he choked up and said, "General, it's Master Hou...... The fifth princess went to see Madame, and later accidentally heard the conversation between Hou Ye and the villain and knew that Madame was dead, and Hou Ye wanted to ...... For the sake of secrecy, it ...... He killed the five princesses...... Again...... and let the villain hide the corpse...... General ......"

Wang Jie's voice was pleading, after saying this, he seemed to know his fate, the whole person sobbed and lay on the ground and couldn't get up, Zheng Lin glanced at the corpse on the ground, and looked at the servant girl again, "I'm afraid that Mrs. Duan will come forward now, after all, she is the princess of Shu, it's not good to be too casual, you go back to Mrs. Duan." ”

The maid touched the corner of her eyes, stood up and saluted before turning around and walking out, Zheng Lin glanced at Wang Jie, "I didn't expect that there are so many secrets in the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion, and I wonder if there are other places to hide the corpse?"

Wang Jie shook his head tremblingly, "No, no, no...... The general spared his life......"

Zheng Lin had two points of disgust in his eyes, and nodded at the soldiers behind Wang Jie.

"Take it with you and write down your confession. ”

The two soldiers nodded in response, lifted Wang Jie and dragged him out.

Zheng Lin watched Wang Jie disappear into the rain curtain with heavy eyes, and then looked at Feng Nianjing's corpse with pity, and the deputy general and cronies on the side looked at each other and shook their heads and sighed...... Tsk, I don't know how to say, the rich and noble also want the suffering of the rich and noble, we work the battlefield, these people live a stable life and don't know how to cherish it, the death of Mrs. Huaiyin is unknown, and there is no one to collect the body when she dies, fortunately, the weather is cold, otherwise it will really rot......"

The deputy general sneered when he heard this, "What do you know, this Luo clan is not as good as before, otherwise how could Luo Shunhua take the risk of colluding with Xirong, he...... These rich and noble people can't do anything for power, they have ** ambitions in their hearts, where do they care about the life and death of our people, they can get power when they get rich, and what is it for them to die a few people, the battlefield is all done with real knives and guns, but we will not attack our brothers, the real insidious and terrible are these people who have power...... Husband and wife can't become husband and wife, father and son can't become father and son, by the way, today in the sword mound, I heard that it was the second lady of the Luo family who intended to kill her father......"

"Luo's second miss?!" The soldier was surprised, "Didn't she go to Hojing a long time ago?"

The lieutenant shook his head, "No one knows what is the reason for this, now Luo Shunhua is not only collaborating with the enemy and treason, this Luo clan also has the crime of disrespecting the will, it is good that Luo Shunhua died early, as for the others, ......"

The adjutant general looked at Zheng Lin, "General, can you be convicted?"

Zheng Lin has been listening to the discussion of the two with a blank face, and at this moment he touched the paperwork in his sleeve, he nodded and walked out of the door, "If this key physical evidence is found, you can make a conclusion, and how to convict depends on the emperor's meaning, you look at it here, and let the brothers below continue to search, I will go to the young master to see first." ”

The adjutant general responded, and the soldiers of his cronies hurriedly held umbrellas to follow, Zheng Lin went straight to the direction of the guest house, the rain was too strong, and it was difficult for the soldiers of his cronies to hold umbrellas, such a violent storm was rare in early spring, Zheng Lin and the two went all the way to Shen Nanxing's courtyard, Zheng Lin pro

Son, Zheng Lin personally stepped forward to call the door, and as soon as he knocked on it, the door opened.

There was a beautiful maid standing inside the door, standing behind the door and smiling at Zheng Lin, and said in a crisp voice, "General Zheng is here, our son said that you want to come, and the slave has been waiting to show you the door." ”

Zheng Lin nodded expressionlessly, and walked into the courtyard by mistake, but the soldier who was close to him was stunned by the smile, and stood in place like a fool, and the maid saw him so stunned, and her eyes were two points of banter, and she covered her mouth and smiled, and made the cronies of the soldier blush.

Walking through the courtyard corridor, there was still a beautiful maid standing in front of the main house, the maid smiled again when she saw Zheng Lin, and pushed the door open after saluting, "General, please come in, the son is waiting for you in the warm pavilion." ”

Zheng Lin nodded and entered the house, dressed in moisture and cold, he was immediately wrapped in a warmth, the warm pavilion was on the left, Zheng Lin took off the cloak and stood outside for a moment before lifting the curtain and walking in, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a jade-like person wrapped in a black fox fur leaning on the recliner next to the bed to read, hearing the movement, Shen Nanxing put down the book in his hand and looked over.

"You're still so thoughtful, a little chill won't do anything to me. ”

Shen Nanxing was weak, Zheng Lin was afraid that the cold on his body would infect him, he never showed this thought, but he was still seen by Shen Nanxing, Zheng Lin bent his lips without any expression, and then took out the paperwork in his sleeve, took a few steps forward, and handed it to Shen Nanxing, "What I found just now is Xirong That's right, with this thing, Luo's crime can be determined." ”

Shen Nanxing opened the paperwork and looked at it twice, then frowned slightly.

"Where did you find it?"

Zheng Lin's face was solemn, "In the dark compartment of Luo Shunhua's study, what's the problem?"

Shen Nanxing slowly closed the paperwork, raised his hand and stroked the corner of his forehead, he closed his eyes slightly, and said after a moment, "This document is written clearly and clearly, it seems that it is a little too normal." ”

Zheng Lin raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean ......?"

Shen Nanxing narrowed his eyes, "Luo Shunhua is indeed greedy for power, but he is not a fool, if he wants to do something like trading with Xirong, he will not leave a handle, this is a business that cannot see the light, but he has such a complete transaction document, is he not afraid that once this document is seen by others, Luo's will fall into a place of no return?"

Zheng Lin frowned, as if he felt that Shen Nanxing's words were reasonable.

Shen Nanxing opened the document again and looked at it, "This is just a little speculation on my part, you don't have to think about it, with this document, you can indeed be convicted, plus that large number of Xirong knives, Luo's will not be able to escape." ”

After a pause, Shen Nanxing frowned again, "Lady Huaiyin is dead?

Zheng Lin bowed his head, "Yes, I have already informed Mrs. Duan, both of these are crimes, even if there is no treason against the enemy, the Luo family will not be better in the future, Luo Shunhua has too much power, and he is already mad." ”

Shen Nanxing nodded, and suddenly looked up at Zheng Lin again, "I received a lot of greetings today?"

Zheng Lin smiled bitterly for a moment when he heard this, and his expression was no longer as cold as when he was outside, "I have received a lot, all of them are looking at the reputation of the Zheng family, and even the eldest prince of Qi Guo has sent a prayer post, only Yan Guo has not moved." ”

"Yan Guo...... Shang Jue......"

Shen Nanxing squinted his eyes and muttered, the sparkle under his eyes was a little complicated, and he looked up at Zheng Lin after a while, "Don't pay attention to it for the time being, you are tired of running thousands of miles, you can tell everyone to go down and let everyone rest for a while." ”

Zheng Lin nodded, and the corners of his lips curled again, "Okay, I'll take a look at you and leave." ”

Shen Nanxing handed over the paperwork with an ordinary face, "Okay, you can sit down and go." ”

After speaking, he picked up the book he was looking at again, not caring about Zheng Lin as a guest, Zheng Lin seemed to be accustomed to this, and after a smile, he found an open chair opposite Shen Nanxing and sat down, the two sat silently, for a while only the sound of rain outside the window "crackling" kept ringing, and at the same time, Shang Jue and Chaoxi in the Snow Courtyard were also standing in front of the window watching the rain.

"In the early spring of Shu, it is rare to see such heavy rains. ”

Chaoxi's voice was cold, and Shang Jue curled his lips beside him, "There is a vision in the sky, and there will be abnormal movements in the world." ”

Raising his eyebrows day and night, "Abnormal movement? Huaiyin has changed hands, is it an abnormal movement?"

Shang Jue pretended to think about it, and shook his head after a while, "I'm afraid it doesn't count, Huaiyin is not big in the end." ”

Chaoxi just asked casually, but she didn't want Shang Jue to reply seriously, she once again looked at the rain curtain outside, her expression was extremely calm, "When did you know?"

Shang Jue turned his head to look at her for a moment, "What do you know?"

Chaoxi squinted his eyes, "I know what crime I want to charge the Huaiyin Marquis Mansion." ”

Shang Jue curled his lips, "I knew it for a long time." ”

Chaoxi suddenly turned her head and seemed to want to ask him how early it was, but as soon as she turned her head, she saw the wound on the corner of Shang Jue's lips, and she was about to say something, but she didn't ask, she retracted her gaze and pursed her lips, "Even if there is no such crime, Luo Shunhua can't escape the two of killing his wife and killing the princess." ”

Shang Jue nodded, "With one less fifth princess, you will also have one less obstacle." ”

Chaoxi turned his head to look at Shang Jue for a moment, with two points of suspicion in his eyes, Shang Jue saw her eyes clearly and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that you have forgotten that I sacrificed my life to save you during the day, but after half a day, you began to doubt me again." ”

Chaoxi frowned, thinking of the situation in the evil array during the day, he seemed to be a little speechless, and turned his head silently, Shang Jue turned to look at her, the smile in his eyes became stronger, "Since you haven't forgotten, then I'm relieved." ”

Chaoxi's brows furrowed more and more, as if he was very impatient, and simply snorted coldly, "It's ridiculous, you actually treat me as a person who will make me grateful to you for a little favor?"

Shang Jue shook his head and sighed, and said a little helplessly, "Although you don't say it, you will remember it in your heart." ”

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he was about to refute, and he seemed unwilling to discuss it

She didn't want Shang Jue to call her such a person, but Shang Jue suddenly raised her hand to cover her brow, "Why are you frowning?

Chaoxi took a step back to avoid his hand and narrowed his eyes, "What the hell do you want to say?"

Shang Jue put down his hand and looked at her with a frank and sincere gaze, "You should be like this, in front of me, you should be what you are without any disguise, this sentence, I told you at the beginning." ”

Chaoxi's expression froze, and such a sentence really appeared in his mind, in the Yan State camp outside Xiyong Pass, she still did not change the ending of being taken away by him after a long journey and a snowy night.

He threw her in a bucket of hot water, his tone elevated.

No matter who forced you to humble yourself in the past, you will no longer have to be humble and please in the face of loneliness.

The tone that seemed to be a god and Buddha looking at mortals in the world, with five points of domineering, three points of calmness, and two points of inexplicable gentleness, poked her heart at once, but at that time, she didn't believe him at all.

- And now?

Chaoxi's heart trembled slightly, and the corners of his lips were tightly pursed together.

She looked out the window again at the vast rainy night, and only after a while did she speak in a deep voice.

"I can't do this. ”

The corners of Shang Jue's lips curved slightly, and he stepped forward to hold her hand.

"I'll do it. ”
