As Ning Canglan's right-hand man, and as the master of the Golden Yantang who has the ability to be the mainstay of the Canglan Sect, Lin Jinghe naturally also knew about Ning Canglan's release of the news to the second prince Lu Chengxiu. However, he couldn't figure out the intention of Ning Canglan's arrangement, he was more worried about Lin Qing's safety.

"Sect Master, according to the subordinates, the news of the Emperor's edict on Zhao Muxi will spread soon, will this be detrimental to Lin Qing's safety?"

Ning Canglan turned his head, his gaze swept lightly from Lin Jinghe, "You don't really think of her as your sister, right?" You don't need to worry about her safety. ”

Ning Canglan's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring Lin Jinghe on his heart.

"Yes." Lin Jinghe forcibly suppressed the agitated emotions in his chest and replied in a deep voice.

Lin Jinghe inadvertently caught a glimpse of the five corpses lying on the ground, and couldn't help but remember that Ning Canglan had just stood behind the grass and silently shot down a man in black for Lin Qing, thus helping her turn the situation around. Listening to the meaning of Ning Canglan's words, he didn't seem to value Lin Qing, but he actually helped her personally, which made Lin Jinghe a little puzzled by the reason.

In Ning Canglan's heart, what did he think of Lin Qing? This question, not only Lin Qing thought about it countless times, but Lin Jinghe, as an outsider, also thought about it many times, but neither of them came up with an answer.

Lin Jinghe didn't know that Ning Canglan himself couldn't figure out the answer to this question.

The two of them stood on the ruins for a short time and walked away slowly, but the direction they walked was diametrically opposite to the direction in which Lin Qing and the others were traveling.

……

In the next few days, Lin Qing and Zhao Mingsong have been working hard to thoroughly investigate Zhao Huai's treason case seven years ago. The two went to the homes of several courtiers who had been involved in the case, and used many methods to collect clues, but they found nothing. Not only did they not gain anything, but they also caused Lin Qing and the others to suffer some verbal or physical harm.

Zhao Mingsong didn't complain, but decided to continue the investigation. Lin Qing, who thinks that he is not as broad-minded as Zhao Mingsong, is not as uncomplaining as him, but even if he is not angry in his heart, Lin Qing has not dispelled the idea of investigating the old case, but he has been depressed for a while.

Lin Qing hadn't recovered from the blow of the failure in the investigation, and immediately received another fatal blow!

Rumors gradually spread in the capital, and the content was probably that the late Prime Minister Zhao Huai had received an edict from the emperor seven years ago, and the content of the edict was related to the throne. Zhao Huai was exposed for the crime of treason and collaboration with the enemy, and knew that he had survived, so he found a secret opportunity to hand over the edict to his only daughter Zhao Muxi......

When he heard the news from Zhao Mingsong's mouth, Lin Qing almost thought that he had heard it wrong.

"Big brother, where did you hear that?" In a simplely furnished room, Lin Qing and Zhao Mingsong sat opposite each other. After listening to Zhao Mingsong's words, Lin Qing stood up in surprise and asked.

Rao was extremely surprised, and Lin Qing didn't ask out loud regardless of it, she and Zhao Mingsong were settling in an ordinary inn at this time, which was not a place that could guarantee absolute privacy security.

"It's spread everywhere in the capital, and this time, I heard the news from Uncle Song's subordinates."

When Lin Qing heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but lowered his eyes and began to think about the stakes of these rumors.

"These rumors are very unfavorable to you, the struggle for imperial power is already treacherous, and once the news about the edict of the former emperor is released, it will definitely attract the attention of all forces. In my humble opinion, we might as well leave the capital first to avoid the limelight. Zhao Mingsong's tone of persuasion was quite pitiful and unbearable. After all, his sister is just a seventeen-year-old girl, and I don't know what I'm afraid of in the face of such a thing......

The more Zhao Mingsong thought about it, the more angry he felt, I don't know which black-eyed young people spread rumors indiscriminately, this is a big event that will kill people if it is not good!

"Where can you hide when you leave the capital?" Lin Qing muttered, she had checked the whereabouts of the edict of the former emperor for a long time, but she didn't expect that the whereabouts of the edict were related to herself.

Zhao Mingsong was about to answer, but he heard Lin Qing say again: "The edict of the first emperor, will it ...... Does it really concern me? After all, I'm my father's only daughter......"

At this time, Zhao Mingsong couldn't answer.

"Even if I knew, it would have been seven years ago, and I had forgotten all of them."

Zhao Mingsong heard the faint sadness in Lin Qing's tone, but he couldn't think of any words of comfort for a while. He just wanted to divert Lin Qing's attention first, so that she wouldn't be too sad, and after thinking about it, it really gave him an idea!

"Xi'er, do you remember the Zhang family in Muhe Town?"

Lin Qing was really attracted by Zhao Mingsong's words, "Remember, that's Ziyan's mother's house, and I still lived in Zhang's house for half a year." ”

It's just that Zhang's family was later burned to ashes by a fire, and she and Ziyan also left Muhe Town. Thinking of this, Lin Qing thought of the somewhat complicated relationship between her and Zhang Ziyan after her reunion, and couldn't help but feel sad again.

"Then do you remember that the Zhang family advocates respect?"

"Zhang Jingde? He...... It's Ziyan's father, but he rarely returns home, but he seems to be ...... It's dead. Lin Qing looked at Zhao Mingsong in confusion, she couldn't understand why Zhao Mingsong suddenly mentioned an irrelevant person who had already been buried in the ground.

"Uncle Zhang, he's the brother-in-law of his father-in-law." Zhao Mingsong said with a complicated expression.

Lin Qing didn't clear his mind for a while, "What father's brother-in-law?" ”

Zhao Mingsong pursed his lips and didn't open his mouth to explain, as if he was waiting for Lin Qing to understand.

"Big brother is saying that Zhang Jingde is my father's brother-in-law?" Lin Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "How is this possible? ”

"It's no wonder that Uncle Zhang is a merchant, but his father-in-law is a powerful prime minister. The identity gap is simply separated by 108,000 miles, but the fact is that the two of them are indeed righteous brothers. Zhao Mingsong patiently explained.

Lin Qing intuitively felt that there might be some strange stories between his father Zhao Huai and Zhang Jingde that could not be told.

Before Lin Qing could digest this heavy news, Zhao Mingsong whispered another little-known news: "Actually, Xu Huan, the prefect of Taizhou, is also a friend of his father. ”

Lin Qing still had a little impression of Xu Huan in his mind, "I still remember this, but he is also dead?" ”

Zhao Mingsong nodded slowly and heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Their death is not simple. ”

"I didn't think it before, but when I heard my eldest brother say this, I was a little ......," Lin Qing said, his voice gradually quieting down.

Lin Qing suddenly put a thin finger like a scallion on his lips and made a silent motion. Then she slowly stretched out her other hand and pointed in the direction of the window.

Unexpectedly, the next moment only a 'bang' was heard, and the window was violently slammed open.

A gray shadow flashed in through the window!

"Who?!" With a loud shout, Zhao Mingsong had already rushed in front of Lin Qing. (To be continued.) )
