Chapter 17 Xuanyuan's Visit
A quarter of an hour later.
Lin Mo and his party walked on the way back to Lin Mansion, but compared to when they went back, there was one more person in the team, and that was He Yun'er.
The matter between Baili Allure and He Yun'er has been discussed, and Baili Allure can't bear to leave He Yun'er in the drunken building, so he took her back to the house and made a maid.
The group of people were shuttling through the major shops with great interest, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, but Lin Mo was a little frightened.
Just now in the drunken building, Lin Mo picked up Tang Yunu by the waist and carried him to the bed, and when he was about to relive the old dream, Lin Mo's spirit was shocked, and he ran out of the room as if he had escaped.
Lin Mo suddenly remembered that if he had done that with Tang Yunu here, how could Bai Zhilan let herself go to bed at night, and she would not have to sleep in the study for a few days.
After three years of separation from Tang Yunu, although Lin Mo also missed Tang Yunu's femme fatale's enthusiasm, Lin Mo felt that she was still the lady in her house, which was more important, how could she be greedy for that momentary joy.
The lesser of two evils, therefore, Lin Mo quickly escaped from Tang Yunu's room.
After escaping from the room, Lin Mo could also hear Tang Yunu's very arrogant and proud laughter, as well as the sentence "Lang Jun, you can't escape from the palm of the slave family."
The hour was not early, the group had been shopping for a long time, and they were also hungry, under the proposal of Baili Allure, Lin Mo and his party went to Guiyun Building, which is located on Linjiang Street, one of the seventeen affiliated streets of Zhuque Tianjie, to have dinner.
Guiyun Building, one of the best restaurants in the imperial capital Qiantian City, according to the little lazy pig and foodie in Baili Allure City, the taste in Guiyun Tower is extremely beautiful, and the business is also very prosperous.
There is a river in front of Guiyun Building that passes through, called Linyang River, the door in front of the building goes out, there are two lines of poetry that are engraved on the wooden plaques on both sides of the door.
"The return is like a dream, and the expedition in the clouds is three thousand miles. ”
After Lin Mo stood in front of the door and admired it for a while, he followed Baili Allure and the others into the Guiyun Building, and as soon as he entered, a shopkeeper came to greet him.
"Xiao Er, take us to the second floor and go through all your signature dishes here. "Baili Allure is familiar with this place, and it seems that I have been here more than once.
"Okay, Mrs. Lin, please a few of you. ”
In the flattering smiling face of the shopkeeper, Lin Mo and his party walked up to the second floor.
After going up to the second floor, the shopkeeper ran to the kitchen to prepare the dishes, Lin Mo and his party were divided into two tables, Lin Mo and Bai Zhilan had one table, and Xifeng Liu Ruoshui He Yuner and others had one table.
Before the food came up, Lin Mo and the others were idle, so they listened to a few middle-aged men at a nearby table talking, and it just so happened that the content of this idle conversation was also related to Lin Mo.
"There will be another skeleton in the city the night after tomorrow, and I don't know which poor woman asked for that cannibalistic monster, alas, what a sad ......"
"Yes, speaking of which, when General Lintu was still in the past, there had never been such things in the city, but once General Lintu died, these strange things have always happened in the past fifteen years. ”
"Alas, but you don't have to be afraid, it is said that this matter has been investigated by the Mo Sect Master, and the Dry Heaven City should be able to calm down quickly. ”
"Sect Master Mo? is Lin Mo, who was worshiped by His Majesty the Emperor as the doctor of Shangqing, and Lin Ziyong is the military god who led more than 20,000 Yan troops to break through the 100,000 elite army of Beidi?"
"That's right, this Lin Mo Sect Master is a natural genius, not only can Wen can put pen to peace in the world, Wu can go to Ma Dingkun, it is said that he is still very young, but unfortunately, we ordinary people, we have no chance to meet, if there is a fate to meet, I will give my daughter to him, even if it is a servant." ”
"Alas, then how did I hear that Sect Master Lin Mo had never practiced at all, Lao Wang, how can you say that he can be martial arts?
"You are a dead eye, this martial artist of mine is going to Ma Dingkun, it means that Sect Master Lin Mo will lead his troops back to fight, not that he is good at fighting, you, you ......"
"Hey, tell me what His Majesty the Emperor is going to do when he invited Sect Master Lin Mo down this time? Is our Great Qian Empire going to war with Beidi and Tubo?"
"Alas, you are stupid, our Emperor His Majesty has no real power, please ask the unparalleled Sect Master Lin Mo, he must help himself seize power......"
"Flutter-"
Hearing that the husband next to him was blowing his god, Baili Allure couldn't help it, laughed, and whispered to Lin Mo: "Husband, do you hear? Everyone admires you very much, don't you live up to their expectations!"
Lin Mo glanced at the smiling Baili Allure City, and did not speak, but Bai Zhilan on the side spoke, and the cloud was full of seriousness.
"Husband, the night after tomorrow, you must solve the cannibal case and give an explanation to the people, this matter is like a dark cloud, shrouding the heads of the people of the imperial capital for more than ten years. ”
In the half month that she came to the imperial capital in advance, Bai Zhilan could hear the people talking about monster cannibalism every time she went out, and her face was full of fear.
Lin Mo nodded and said with relief: "Zhilan, don't worry, after the evening of the day after tomorrow, Li Tai's true face will be revealed, and when the time comes, he will be pointed out by Wanfu, even the Queen Mother will not be able to protect him." ”
Lin Mo was determined to bring down Li Tai this time, and after more than ten years of continuous fermentation of this cannibalism case, there were very few women among the pedestrians on the street, so that those poor girls in the pavilion all day long were also uneasy.
Countless beautiful scenery on the street, Lin Mo must want to bring down Li Tai and let the street bloom again, in Lin Mo's heart, hurting women, especially beautiful women, is an unforgivable felony.
"But husband, the Queen Mother's party is very powerful, they will not give up Li Tai, an extremely chess piece, if they forcibly want to protect Li Tai, what should you do?"
The power of the Empress Dowager Xuanshu, the eldest grandson is deeply understood in the palace, and the huge harem is completely decided by the Empress Dowager Xuanshu alone, and the people in the harem change color when they hear the Empress Dowager Xuanshu, and even the Emperor Daqian kneels when he sees it.
Lin Mo smiled and said: "Yes, the power of the Queen Mother's party is very large, so the husband has to rely on the party of King Rong, and even if the power is great, they have to take care of one thing." ”
"What is it?" Seeing Lin Mo's mysterious look, Baili Allure was very curious, and hurriedly asked.
"People's hearts!" replied Bai Zhilan.
"The hearts of the people?" said the hundred miles of the city and the eldest grandson with a sorrowful voice.
"That's right, it's the hearts of the people, Zhilan is really smart. Lin Mo smiled slightly: "Even the Queen Mother, no matter how powerful they are, it is impossible to suppress the hearts of the people." ”
Bai Zhilan seemed to understand Lin Mo's plan, and her face also showed a comfortable expression, she believed that some of her husbands, who were unparalleled in their resourcefulness, would be able to restore the peace of the imperial capital and avenge those innocent women who were killed.
After chatting about this serious matter, in order to ease the atmosphere, Lin Mo and the third girl had a homely meal, and after a while, the shopkeeper came up with the dishes, and Lin Mo and the others also ate beautifully.
The taste is excellent, Lin Mo is very happy to eat, Lin Mo secretly thought to himself, this Guiyunlou has such skills, I am afraid it can be compared to the imperial chef in the palace, I don't know, what is the origin of this cook.
Steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower tripe, etc., that is everything.
After eating, Lin Mo and his party walked slowly back to the house, and when they returned to the mansion, Lin Mo led the two daughters of Sun Youyin, the mayor of the hundred miles of the city, to the inner courtyard.
Bai Zhilan asked herself to stay, commanded the people to carry the things bought on the street, and settled He Yun'er.
After thinking about it seriously, He Yun'er naturally couldn't be like those ordinary servants, so He Yun'er was arranged in Liu Ruoshui's Xiaowan room and let the three girls live together.
After arranging everything, I don't know how much time has passed, looking at the three daughters in the house, Bai Zhilan instructed: "Ruoshui, Xiaowan, Yun'er, you three have to get along well, you know?"
"Yes, Lady Lan. Liu Ruoshui's three daughters said in unison.
"That's good, our house is different from Bepfu, especially the East Courtyard, you can't go, Ruoshui, Xiaowan, the two of you came first, you have to teach Yun'er well. ”
After admonishing again, Bai Zhilan smiled with satisfaction, and turned around and walked out of the room.
Seeing Bai Zhilan leaving, He Yun'er walked over with slender steps, saluted Liu Ruoshui and Xiaowan, and said: Sister Ruoshui, Sister Xiaowan, my sister is new, I don't know anything, and I asked the two sisters, why can't I go to the East Courtyard?"
Xiao Wan said enthusiastically: "Because the East Courtyard is the Treasure Pavilion in our house, there are countless rare treasures there, if you don't have Lord Lin's orders, you will be punished if you approach rashly." ”
"Rare treasures?" He Yun'er said curiously.
"Yes, a treasure. Xiao Wan turned around and took out a pearl hairpin from her jewelry box, and said with some ostentatiousness: "Sister Yun'er, you see that this is the thing in the Treasure Pavilion, called Liuyun Jade Hairpin." ”
"Sister Yun'er, don't you want it to be just a small pearl hairpin, but it is worth hundreds of gold leaves, and it was given to me by Mrs. Sorrow a few days ago. ”
"Sister is serving Mrs. Sorrow?" He Yun'er stared at the flowing cloud bead hairpin with some envy, which was worth a hundred gold leaves, which was enough for them to use for a lifetime.
Xiao Wan nodded, and He Yun'er looked at Liu Ruoshui again: "Sister Ruoshui, which lady is you serving, is it Mrs. Lan?"
Liu Ruoshui shook her head: "I am the personal maid of the adult." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and took out his jewelry box and opened it, only to see a few more pieces of jewelry inside: "These are all in the Treasure Pavilion, how much they are worth, I don't know, if Sister Yun'er and Sister Xiaowan like it, they can use it themselves." ”
"Ah, that's it!" He Yun'er hurriedly excused herself.
Although He Yun'er was born in the dust, she also likes things like money, but she also insists on herself, these things are too precious for her to accept.
"Sister Yun'er, Sister Ruoshui has a lot of kindness, why should we refuse. Xiao Wan took the jewelry box and said, "Sister Ruoshui won't care about these things, if Sister Ruoshui wants it, the adults will give her a lot of them." ”
"Why is this?" He Yun'er said puzzled.
Xiao Wan covered her mouth and smiled, put the jewelry box in He Yun'er's hand, walked to Liu Ruoshui's side, wrapped her arms around Liu Ruoshui's waist, and smiled skillfully: "Our sister Ruoshui is so delicate and lovely, adults love her." ”
As soon as Xiao Wan's words came out, Liu Ruoshui's face suddenly turned red, and He Yun'er instantly understood: "Oh, I understand, Sister Ruoshui's attendant may become a lady." ”
"It's good that Sister Yun'er understands, so ah, Sister Ruoshui is not the life of this house!" tightened Liu Ruoshui's waist and said, quipping: "Sister Ruoshui, who is delicate and lovely, will bring Xiaowan and Yun'er more in the future." ”
"Pick up shoes, what kind of shoes?" Liu Ruoshui said pretending to be stupid.
Seeing Liu Ruoshui pretending to be stupid, Xiao Wan was stunned at first, and then joked happily: "Okay, don't say it's shoes, when my sister becomes a lady in the future, Xiao Wan can shine your shoes!"
"Hahaha-" He Yun'er listened happily on the side, covered her mouth and laughed, and then Xiao Wan looked at Liu Ruoshu's blushing face and laughed happily.
Only Liu Ruoshui's heart was a little gloomy: the more delicate and lovely Mrs. Sorrow, the adults have not touched it, do you have hope? When will you wait?
At this moment, although Liu Ruoshui's heart was gloomy, she knew that at this moment, she should cooperate with Tang Yunu in the Zuisheng Building to do that thing for the adult.
Just when Liu Ruoshui and the three daughters were laughing in the room, Bai Zhilan had already returned to the room, and when she entered the house, she saw that there was no one in the house, and when she came to the courtyard behind, Lin Mo and the three of them were indeed here.
Baili Allure was dressed in a red power suit, holding the Blood Rain Sword in his hand and practicing the Qi Imperial Sword, impacting the realm of the Great Sword Master, Lin Mo and the eldest grandson Youyin were watching from the side, and the eldest grandson Youyin was watching intently, and his interest was particularly strong.
Bai Zhilan stepped forward lightly, and after saying hello to the two, she asked the eldest grandson Sorrow, "Sister Sorrow, you are very interested, and you want to practice like Sister Allure?"
The eldest grandson hesitated for a moment, nodded, and sighed: "Yes, I also want to be able to hold a sword like Sister Allure and help her husband, by the way, Zhilan, you seem to be also a cultivator?
When she was in Tang Yunu's room, the eldest grandson was shocked, she didn't expect that Bai Zhilan, who was elegant and gentle, was also a cultivator.
"Yes, I'm also a cultivator. Bai Zhilan smiled and said, "Since Sister Sorrow also wants to practice, let my sister take a look at Sister Sorrow's internal condition." ”
The eldest grandson nodded her head, her eyes full of anticipation, she hoped that she could also hold a sword.
Bai Zhilan Xuan placed her right palm on the forehead of the eldest grandson Youyin, driving a trace of vitality into the body of the eldest grandson Youyin, and carefully perceived it.
After a while, Bai Zhilan let go of her hand and said with a low sigh: "Sister Sorrow, it's a pity that you don't have the Qi Sea Snow Mountain in your body, so you can't cultivate. ”
Qi Sea Snow Mountain is a must for a cultivator, without Qi Sea Snow Mountain, you can't communicate with the Heaven and Earth Vitality, and if you can't communicate with the Heaven and Earth Vitality, you can't absorb the Heaven and Earth Vitality and then practice.
Hearing Bai Zhilan's words, the eldest grandson's expression was a little gloomy.
At this time, Lin Mo, who was engrossed in the city for hundreds of miles, gently embraced the eldest grandson Yuyin into his arms, and said softly: "Fool, if you can't practice, you can't practice, why are you sad, you just need to help your husband in other aspects!"
Feeling the gentle embrace of her husband, the eldest grandson sorrow sighed, and had to secretly swear to help Lin Mo in other aspects, suddenly, the eldest grandson sorrow remembered something and asked: "Husband, according to the rumors in the world, you have never practiced, is this true?"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Zhilan covered her mouth and laughed, Lin Mo first smiled awkwardly, and then smiled mysteriously: "Husband's sorrow is so smart, you might as well guess!"
The eldest grandson was worried and wanted to guess, anyway, there were two answers, yes and no, but at this moment, Qiu Yun's voice came, making the eldest grandson swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
"Sect Master Qi, Xuanyuan is here. ”
Xuanyuan is here! Lin Mo smiled faintly, let go of the eldest grandson in his arms, and said, "Sorrow, Zhilan, you stay here to watch Allure practice swords, and this husband will go to Xuanyuan."
The two girls answered, and Lin Mo walked into the house, picked up the snow cloak and put it on, pushed open the door and saw Qiu Yun waiting outside the door, and ordered: "Call Liu Ruoshui." ”
"Yes, Sect Master!" Qiu Yun said before turning around and calling Liu Ruoshui.
Soon, Liu Ruoshui came to Lin Mo and wanted to bend down to salute, but Lin Mo stopped: "No need, do you know if you will cooperate with Lord Ben to play a play later?"
After speaking, Lin Mo turned around and said something in Liu Ruoshui's ear, which made Liu Ruoshui's face red, and then took her slowly to the front yard guest hall.
Inside the front yard guest hall.
Lin Mo hugged Liu Ruoshui in his arms, while enjoying the citrus fed by Liu Ruoshui, he asked Xuanyuan: "Xuan Shangqing suddenly came to the Lin Mansion, I don't know what advice you have?"
Lin Shangqing said seriously, how dare you advise. Xuanyuan, who was quite rich, was full of smiles, and suddenly looked at Liu Ruoshui in Lin Mo's arms, and asked: "Lin Shangqing loves the palace maid sent by the Queen Mother so much, but why is he only lightly favored this one?
"Alas, Xuan Shangqing doesn't know anything!"
As he spoke, Lin Mo tightened Liu Ruoshui's waist, sniffed the fragrance on Liu Ruoshui's body, and said with great enjoyment: "This beautiful maid, that's a superb stunner, let me be fascinated!"
Xuan Yuanruo glanced at Liu Ruoshui meaningfully, only to see that she quietly made a gesture to herself, and then laughed and said loudly: "I see, this beauty is too hungry for Lin Shangqing, congratulations!"
"It's all the grace of the Queen Mother!" Lin Mo looked grateful, and suddenly brought a trace of doubt, and said: "Xuan Shangqing came this time, it won't be a special trip, see which beauties are favored, right?"
"Of course not. Xuanyuan arched his hand outside the hall, and said: "This time, I am entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and I have come to ask Lin Shangqing how the investigation of the case is." ”
"Lin Shangqing should not only indulge in the nephrite fragrance of beauty, if he fails the grace of His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother, it will not be good. ”
Lin Mo said while flirting with Liu Ruoshui in his arms: "I can't do it in Xiazi, don't worry about Xuan Shangqing, some people under the subordinates are investigating for the ministers, and now, the murderer has also been found in the subordinates, so I have to get ironclad evidence." ”
"Oh, I don't know who it is?" Xuanyuan looked curious: "I wonder if Lin Shangqing can tell Zaixia, so that Zaixia also knows?"
"Then how can it be done!" Lin Mo shook his head and said: "My lord, you also know that in this investigation, the real murderer will change at any time, what if there is a behind-the-scenes behind the real murderer? ”
Xuanyuan snorted and said with a smile: "What Lin Shangqing said is extremely true, and he is presumptuous. ”
As he spoke, Xuanyuan clapped his hands and ordered: "Come on, bring the public funds prepared by His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager for Lin Shangqing." ”
After the words fell, a Xuanfu servant ran in with a small box, bowed to Lin Mo and Xuanyuan, put the small box on the table next to Lin Mo, and then retreated.
Lin Mo opened it and took a look, it was flying money worth 50,000 gold leaves.
Lin Mo's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "Xuan Shangqing, this case is so much public expense?"
"Yes, you are Shangqing, how can Shangqing not handle many cases. Xuanyuan smiled heartily: "If Lin Shangqing does a good job, His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother have said it, and there will be a heavy reward." ”
"When it is time, there are not only these yellow and white things, but the beauties in our Daqian Empire, let Lin Shangqing choose, if you like it, His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother will be the matchmaker for you. ”
Lin Mo was overjoyed, and when he got up, he wanted to come to Xie Zhu Longen and Empress Dowager Xie Fengen, but was stopped by Xuanyuan: "Lin Shangqing doesn't have to be polite, this is a reward for your case being handled well." ”
"Okay, there is still a way to return to His Majesty the Emperor and the Queen Mother, so I won't bother Lin Shangqing and the beauty, and I will leave first. ”
After speaking, Xuanyuan got up and went to the Lin Mansion to walk, Lin Mo just said, "Xuan Shangqing go slowly", and did not get up to send it off, but just teased Liu Ruoshui in his arms.
