Chapter 108: Side-knocking
"What?" the lord patted the armrest of the dragon chair and stood up excitedly, his eyes filled with anger.
"The lord of the country, Weichen also found that the boxes that originally contained grain and silver were all replaced with sand and stones. Shangguan Yelin told the lord of the country about yesterday's investigation one by one, and did not hide it at all.
"How can this be?" The lord's tightened eyebrows and slightly narrowed eyes all meant that he was already angry at this time.
"Presumably, someone stole the beams and changed the pillars, and took the grain and silver as their own, thinking that as long as they faked it as a sunken ship, they would be unaware. Shangguan Ye Lin's slightly thick eyebrows were lightly raised, and in a pair of bright and deep eyes, the calm gaze was unpredictable.
"How can this be justified, who dares to be so bold as to steal the grain and silver that are being transported to the barracks? The Lord of Yintian patted the armrest on the dragon chair, got up and stretched out his hand to point at the ministers, and asked loudly.
"Lord, this matter will be handled by Weichen. Shangguan Yelin bowed slightly, covering her face, so that people couldn't see her expression and couldn't guess what she was thinking.
"Okay, the widow will give you three days, you have to find out about this matter as soon as possible, and the widow must know as soon as possible who is behind this and who dares to steal the grain shipped from the treasury. With a wave of his dragon robe, the Lord of the Yin Heavenly Kingdom sat back on the dragon chair, and said in a commanding tone.
"Obey. The corners of Shangguan Yelin's lips slowly bloomed, like a newborn snow lotus, lonely and cold and arrogant.
The afternoon sun is splendidly sprinkled between the green tiles and red walls everywhere, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the high fluttering shop signboard flags, the sparkling carriages and horses, the endless flow of pedestrians, and the tranquil and comfortable smiling faces, all of which reflect the self-satisfaction of the people of Yintian for the prosperous world.
Next to such a lively street, there was the first inn Zhuqing Building, and at this time, a thick voice came from the private room on the second floor of Zhuqing Building, "General Lin, these are all good dishes from Zhuqing Building, General Lin try them." As he spoke, Wei Zeng put a golden Buddha's hand scroll into Shangguan Yelin's bowl.
"Thank you General Wei, General Ben can do it himself, don't bother General Wei to help General Ben pick up the vegetables. Shangguan Ye Lin sandwiched the Buddha's hand gold roll in the bowl to the plate next to him, picked up a piece of jade shoot bracken and put it into the bowl, raised his eyes and gently swept Wei Zeng and said, "I don't know why General Wei called General Ben to come to Zhuqing Building?"
General Lin seems to like to eat light dishes, this plate of steamed jade shoots and bracken, light and tasteless, General Lin might as well try this braised fish. Between the words, Wei Zeng brought the braised fish to Shangguan Ye Lin, in one sentence, hiding a variety of meanings.
"Since it was recommended by General Wei, General Ben thinks this braised fish should be delicious. Shangguan Ye Lin swept the braised fish on the table, sandwiched a piece, tasted it, and said lightly, "Indeed, smelling its fragrance, it is refreshing, and the meat is compensated, and the aftertaste is endless, but it is a pity that this soup is too oily, and if you are not careful, you will be pierced by fish bones." His eyes met Wei Zeng's eyes.
"General Lin, in the court, no one knows, you were introduced to the lord of the country by this general, and we are officials in the same dynasty, does General Lin have to fight against this general everywhere?" Wei Zeng put down the chopsticks in his hand with a 'snap', the corners of his wrinkled eyes twitched slightly, and his voice full of anger suddenly sounded.
"Why did General Wei say this? Could it be that General Wei did something that would make General Ben find out?" Shangguan Ye Lin raised a pleasant smile and asked lightly.
"Hmph. Wei Zeng couldn't sit still, took out a piece of silver from his waist and put it on the table, turned around and left.
Seeing this, Shangguan Ye Lin was unmoved, still eating and tasting wine leisurely.
In the general mansion of the general of Zhenguo, two figures sneakily shuttled by the wall, looking left and right from time to time, and when they looked closely, it was Situ Jiayi and Yu Wenming.
"Brother Yuwen, you said that Brother Lin disappeared all day long, and he didn't let us leave the mansion, I stayed in this general's mansion every day, and I was almost bored to death. Situ Jiayi followed behind Yu Wenming, covering his face with a folding fan, and kept thinking about it in his mouth.
"Be quiet, if we are discovered by the guard next to Brother Lin later, we won't be able to get out. Yu Wenming's handsome appearance and tiptoeing posture make people really feel the urge to laugh when they see it.
In the cool pavilion, Mozi painted leisurely swinging the strings under his hands, his face was white jade, and a gold-inlaid brocade robe swayed in the wind, he smiled, washed away the lead, and his gentle words slowly flowed out, "General Wei has been running to the prince's mansion a lot recently, is there something in the prince's mansion that makes General Wei linger so much? Hehe, this prince is joking, General Wei doesn't mind, it seems that General Wei is a little panicked, this prince has never seen General Wei in such a panic." ”
"Prince, that kid Lin Ye actually salvaged the fragments of the shipwreck, and found that the grain and silver in the box were dropped, and now he has begun to investigate At this time, what should Wei Chen do?" Wei Zeng bowed his head very respectfully, and recounted what happened in the court today truthfully and waited for instructions.
"Oh, for this forest leaf, this prince has heard of it, but I didn't expect him to be able to endure a lot, and he actually fished up the box that sank at the bottom of the river. Stretching out his hand as white as jade, he gently pressed the strings, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Wen Yu's words sounded, but there was a faint coldness.
Wei Zeng's eyes were deep, this Lin Ye, he always felt that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him, Lin Ye, Ye Lin? As soon as the idea broke into his brain, Wei Zeng was shocked, and said: "Wei Chen Fang just knocked on Lin Ye's side, but he was always unmoved, this Lin Ye is not only resourceful, but also very good at martial arts, in addition, even his appearance is very handsome. "A sentence contains a variety of meanings and has something to say, which makes the listener 'think about it'.
"Yes, I didn't expect this Lin Ye to have so many advantages, and he is really a rare talent. Mozi's eyes were almost invisible and angry, and the words he spoke changed from the original mildness to cold silence, and the dangerous aura quietly diffused.
Hearing this, Wei Zeng also felt that Mozihua had doubts about Lin Ye, so he said: "The prince is indeed shrewd, a person as smart as Lin Ye is just a daughter, otherwise, in addition to the prince, how can there be a second person who can match the prince?"
"It seems that Prince Ben and General Wei should really go to meet this Lin Ye tonight, and Prince Ben really wants to see who he is. The sound fell, the fingertips gently picked the strings, and the beautiful music sounded again, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, outlining a beautiful arc on the lips.
"There's the gate ahead and we can finally get out. Yu Wenming looked at the closed vermilion lacquer gate not far ahead, and a feeling of imminent victory arose, as if he was about to see the light of day.
"Then let's get out, I haven't been out in a long time. When Situ Jiayi heard this, he stood up from the stone steps and walked forward quickly, but unexpectedly, the person in front of him did not move, and he bumped into it, and said inexplicably: "I said, Brother Yuwen, why don't you go." His gaze staggered away from Yu Wenming's back and looked forward, "You, you, shouldn't you let us out again." ”
"The general has instructed not to let the two of them leave the house, so please go back. "It was Minyi who stopped them.
The hair on Yu Wenming's forehead danced lightly in the wind, and a sentence flowed from his thin lips, "But what if I have to leave the door of this general's mansion today?"
Ming Yi turned around and clasped Yu Wenming's shoulder, Yu Wenming turned his head and looked at the hand on his shoulder, turned around and buckled Ming Yi with his backhand, seeing that Ming Yi suddenly withdrew his hand, Yu Wenming pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "You are not my opponent, let you go." As he spoke, he turned around and left, but he took a look at Shangguan Ye Lin.
In front of him, he was only five centimeters away from him, such a close distance, he could see Lin Ye's face, a pair of emotionless ice eyes, but as bright as stars, those thin lips, actually made him want to kiss Fang Ze, this information flashed in his mind, Yu Wenming hurriedly took a step back, coughed dryly, and said, "Brother Lin, you're back," He, is he crazy?!
"What's going on?" Shangguan Ye Lin stood in place very indifferently, glanced at the three people in front of him, and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, we practiced martial arts again just now, and now that we've practiced, I'll go rest first, brother, see you tomorrow." Yu Wenming said, hurriedly turned around, and left as if fleeing, at this moment, Lin Ye's voice came from behind him, "Well, see you tomorrow in Zhuqinglou." ”
In the evening, the night begins to fall slowly, and the night sky is like a navy blue curtain, dotted with twinkling stars, which makes people intoxicated.
She is going to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight, there is Wei Zeng's eyeliner outside the door, she can't go out of the door, so she can only go to the eaves.
Shangguan Ye Lin stepped on the eaves, and when she was about to leave, a hidden weapon flew over, with a sound of breaking the air, and attacked Shangguan Ye Lin, she turned around to catch the flying secret weapon, and fell on the eaves without making a sound, raised her eyes and looked coldly ahead, and then saw two figures descending from the sky one after the other.
Without saying a word, Mozihua had already rushed to Shangguan Ye Lin, the sword in his hand was shining in the moonlight, refracting a dazzling light, at this moment, a masked man flew obliquely, picked up the sword in Mozihua's hand, spun his body, and attacked Mozihua.
Shangguan Ye Lin looked at this scene indifferently, and didn't leave without helping.
Mozi came back to his senses in an instant, turned around and landed lightly, and then jumped up like a dragon, caught the falling sword, pointed at the masked man, and flew away.
The fierce sword aura forced the masked man to dodge sideways, and with a turn of his wrist, he was about to attack Mozi's chest, and Mozihua turned the sword in his hand in an instant, and held a palm to attack the other party, only to hear a 'bang', and both of them retreated.
