The sun was shining in the morning, Lin was too lazy to stretch her waist, and after returning from the cemetery, the owner of her body had a high fever in the middle of the night, and it took more than ten days to rest before gradually recovering.

When I was doing nothing, I learned from the mouth of the maid Green Willow that just a few days ago, there was a mother-in-law who was cleaning the yard and accidentally found that Gao's personal maid Mei'er had died in a dry well in the backyard.

Lin suddenly hooked the corners of her lips, she didn't have to think about it to know that the person was killed, as for who it was, she didn't have much interest, but the water in this compound was really not ordinarily deep.

These days, except for the eldest lady He and younger brother Lin Xiaoran after seeing her, even the Gao family, who likes to do superficial kung fu the most, did not come, for fear that after the water splashing and flea incident, they would hate her.

She didn't bother to guess what those people were thinking, and to her, they were just insignificant people.

In the past few days, Lin Ran has already figured out the entire Lin Mansion, although the Ranyuan Pavilion where she lives looks quiet and elegant, it is the farthest place from the main house of the Lin Mansion, fortunately, she is a neglected little person, while the maid is not paying attention, it took a few days of hard work to dig a hole in the ground, leading to the outside world of flowers.

In the middle of the night when the fog was heavy, the children on the street had just finished the third watch, and they saw a person who looked like a small man crawling out of the hole with his hands and feet, and this person was Lin Ranran, who had changed into men's clothes.

The night of Dajin Kingdom, compared with the excitement of the day, is more extravagant and prosperous, this is the first time Lin Ran has crossed over to sneak out to play, she is so curious to wander around, she checked her deflated money bag, her eyes are rolling, how can you make money, from a distance, the streets and alleys are either green buildings or restaurants, not restaurants or casinos, for her person who only has a few copper plates in his pocket, she can't go anywhere.

Lin suddenly walked across the street and came to a shop, where the mahogany plaque was written with three big characters of "Qi Yuexuan", the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and the atmosphere was graceful.

Just stepped into the hall, the smell of books came to the face, there were more than a dozen chess tables in the huge storefront, sitting together in twos and threes, some people were holding chess scores and leaning against the window to study, very lively, she carried the copper plate in her pocket and walked to the inside, suddenly opened up, the place is not only more spacious than the outside, but also divided into several patterns, the line of sight is also more open, a bit like a modern private room.

It happened that there was a group of people gathered around, and Lin was so curious that he stepped forward to ask a man with a mole on his face.

"What are they doing?"

The man was probably also a frequent customer here, and he gushed endlessly: "The owner of this shop has prepared an endgame since a few days ago, saying that as long as someone can solve it, he can get 500 taels of gold. ”

"Really?" Gold! As soon as Lin suddenly heard the latter two words, her eyes suddenly lit up, imagining the money falling on her head.

The old man saw Lin suddenly looking eager to try, and couldn't bear to hit her confidence and said: "This boss has a lot of background, he used to be a tanhua appointed by the emperor, but later, for some reason, he abandoned literature and went into business, but the chess game he designed is not something that ordinary people can win." ”

"Oh?" Lin raised her eyebrows, she has learned to play chess with her grandfather who has studied for several years since she was a child, and she has learned a lot of ancient endgames, coupled with her talent, she let her grandfather's third son in less than a year, and she once won a prize in a chess competition in the district and city, she didn't dare to brag about other skills, chess is her strength.

"If you think it's just a game of chess, you're wrong." As soon as the man with the black mole finished speaking, there was laughter in the distance, and the person who was sitting and playing chess in the distance suddenly took off his shirt.

Lin was dumbfounded for a moment, and the middle-aged man explained: "Boss Liu is not only good at chess, but also a master of making organs, as long as he makes a wrong move, the mechanism under the seat will be activated, and the more mistakes you make, the more you take off your clothes." Lin suddenly looked at it, and after a while, the man took off only his dirty clothes and pants, and his face was lost, it seems that the five hundred taels of gold are not only a challenge to chess skills, but also a challenge to a person's dignity.

Lin suddenly stepped forward with great eagerness, and saw a steward respectfully return the clothes to the man before, who was so ashamed that he took the clothes and hurriedly walked out.

"Who else wants to challenge the code?" Someone shouted.

"Me." Lin suddenly raised his hand, and sat down on the chair in front of everyone.

"Huangkou Xiaoer, I see that your hair has not grown, so be careful not to take off any of it." The yellow-toothed man on the side laughed, causing everyone to laugh, Lin suddenly calmed down, glanced at the endgame, hooked the corners of his lips with a smile, and glanced at him, "Let's start!" ”

As soon as she sat down, the chair automatically locked her.

"Please!" The steward stood aside respectfully and activated the mechanism.

Lin suddenly stared at his eyebrows and pondered, but seeing that this game of chess was extremely complicated, it seemed that the black chess had the potential to win, and the red chess had never been able to return to the sky. She looked at it for a long time, and the thoughts in her mind became clearer and clearer, and she said slowly: "Ma six into five, like three back one." The red chess pieces on the chessboard automatically began to move, and everyone waited with bated breath, but Lin Ranran's seat did not move at all.

"The second step, the rook is seven flat four, and the six will be one back." Lin Suran continued, she was still sitting like a mountain.

Step 3: "Horse five back three, six back one." Everyone's eyes began to change, and the young man only faintly hooked the corners of his lips, exuding a confident glow. Step 4: "Horse three into two, six into one." All of a sudden, there was an unprecedented reversal on the chessboard, and everyone clenched their fists excitedly.

"Brother Gao, it's been a long time since I've been so lively downstairs, it seems that it's dragging me down." A man in a blue diameter robe, with a dissolute smile, said excitedly.

The man in Tsing Yi standing beside him looked downstairs in the direction of his friend, and inadvertently swept past the thin figure.

The bright sun shone on the young man's face, lining his skin like jade, like fine porcelain.

The man hooked his lips slightly, his light-colored eyes were bottomless, and he couldn't see his emotions clearly.

Step 5: "Cannon one into eight." When there was only red chess left on the chessboard, only the sound of "huh" from the people watching the chess around him could be heard, Lin suddenly raised his head slowly, and many people had admiration and surprise on their faces, as if they had cracked the endgame.

The steward standing beside her was full of smiles and said respectfully: "Childe is talented and has solved the boss's chess game, which is gratifying." ”

Lin suddenly smiled unshockedly: "What about my silver taels." ”

The steward smiled incomprehensibly: "Since Childe has solved this game, come with me to meet someone!" ”
