Linlang fell asleep deeply, and when a basin of cold water splashed on her body, the chill to her bones suppressed the numbness all over her body.

She shuddered, her frost-covered eyelashes trembling slightly. What caught my eye was a row of officials holding torches and the Jin family with a serious face.

"It's dark, why am I here?" Linlang tried to sober herself, but her mind was dizzy. When she tried to sit up, her hands and feet seemed to disappear out of thin air, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't feel their presence. Raising his arm with difficulty, he only heard a crisp "click", and the cold ice at the corner of his shoulder shattered to the ground. In Linlang's hand, he was holding a show sword, and there was still a little bit of blood left on the tip of the sword.

This, what's going on?

Linlang finally felt the biting coldness coming from her hands, and tried her best to prop herself up, but saw several little eunuchs wearing Dongchang clothes lying horizontally behind her. Three feet away, the snow was trampled by chaotic footsteps, and in the chaos, a girl in a green jacket and skirt lay in a pool of blood.

Blood stained the white snow, frozen into ice slag and stuck to her scattered hair.

"I'll just say that this girl has ill intentions, and your Jin family wants to protect her. Now it's good that she killed someone and killed her mouth. If it weren't for the father-in-law of Dongchang, I don't know how much bloody rain it would have set off! Li Zhidi paced in figure-eight steps, slowly revealing his fat body from behind the crowd.

Gusts of cold wind swept through the snow on the treetops from the depths of the forest, enveloping the forest with a cold that had never been experienced before. In addition, he was just poured a basin of cold water, and the clothes on his body instantly formed a layer of thin ice.

"Linlang, this, what the hell is going on?"

"I ......"

Linlang opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word. His lips were purple from the cold, and he couldn't even meet the basic movements of making a sound. She shook her body and subconsciously curled up together. Shaking her head and looking at the third aunt who was asking.

"I can't imagine that she is such a person! Fortunately, it was exposed in time, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died! "There are maids whispering in the back, full of merciless accusations.

"Yes, yes! I'm afraid to imagine getting along with her all day long! As soon as the responding maid spoke, Ling Shan shrank her neck and swallowed back the words that followed.

Aunt Xiang, who rushed to hear the news, climbed up the Xiqiu with Ling Shan's support, and she quickly took off her coat and wrapped it around Linlang after seeing Linlang's embarrassed appearance.

"Master, Linlang must have been framed by thieves, and I ask my lord to allow him to return to his house, and he will ask after Linlang's body is stable." Aunt Xiang knelt on the ground and crawled to Jinchi to plead.

Jin Chi was silent, and the moment he saw Linlang, his deep eyes never moved a bit. Is this the girl who caught the attention of the Bai family? Is this the girl who stirred up the city as soon as she entered the Jin family? Linlang? Jin Chi silently recited Linlang's name over and over again in his heart. Suddenly, his sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he glared at the third aunt beside him. "She was recruited by you, but did you know her background?"

"Sir." The third aunt glanced at Linlang, pursed her lips and said softly: "Linlang came to Jincheng with her mother to look for her long-lost brother, and met the bandit mother and daughter who were separated halfway. came to Jincheng alone, one can find out the whereabouts of his mother, and the other can find news of his younger brother. ”

"Really?"

Li Zhidi suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, walked up to Jin Chi and smiled: "This official has heard that there is a Linlang Mountain on the shore of Yuwei Lake, and there is a group of rabble on the mountain to support their own gangs. It disturbed the nearby chickens and dogs, and the government encircled and suppressed it many times without success, and finally came to an end. Could it be that this girl named Linlang has something to do with them? ”

Jin Chi narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Zhidi's fat face in front of him. He was warning himself not to meddle in his affairs, lest he be accused of being a gangster.

If there is indeed a faction named Yu Linlang on Linlang Mountain, when Yunmian passed by Linlang Village, he encountered a group of bandits halfway, and the people led by him were very similar to Jinchi in terms of body shape and even appearance, and even gestures. The two hit it off at first sight and worshiped as brothers. Many years later, he heard that Yu Linlang on Linlang Mountain was in a faction of its own, and he was secretly happy for Fang Qirui.

At this time, it seems that the girl on the ground is really similar to Yu Linlang's person, and she is still called Linlang. It's just why Aunt Xiang is so enthusiastic about her?

After thinking about it for a while, Jin Chi said quietly: "Li Guanren, everyone has seen the situation here. Why don't you move to the shelter and wait for Linlang to relieve the cold and then interrogate? ”

While speaking, before Li Zhidi could speak, someone took Linlang from Aunt Xiang's arms, and Xiqiu had already prepared a carriage. Seeing this, Li Zhidi snorted coldly and left with his sleeves brushed up.

The bumpy carriage galloped on the official road, and Ling Shan opened the curtain and looked out, the gate of Jincheng was getting closer and closer. Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from his arms, pulled out the wooden cork, poured out two pills and put them in Linlang's mouth. "Miss, close your eyes and rest for a while! There are Lingshan watching here, and they definitely don't dare to act rashly. ”

Lin Langshi was frozen by the cold and almost died, and he was suddenly untreated by a dark illness. The successive tosses made her weak body feel overwhelmed, and she fell asleep in response.

After lying on the bed for a long time, Linlang's pale face regained a trace of blood. After her breathing was stable, Linlang opened her eyes and looked at the wind chimes that moved slightly with the wind on the edge of the bed.

Jianfeng, who the hell is he? Who wants to test whether they can do martial arts? Could it be the third aunt? If this is the case, the child who called for Uncle Jianfeng before should be Jin Rui, the young master of the Jin family. He was sent to the Confucian Mansion by Jinchi since he was a child, and he returned on the eve of the New Year. You only have to listen to his voice to know if it's true or not.

What if not?

Linlang's tightly knit eyebrows trembled slightly, and the chaotic events were sorted out in his heart.

Previously, it was the little eunuchs of the East Factory who followed them, and they were Li Zhidi's people. I don't know what moth he came up with to deal with himself. But before he could make a move, he was intercepted and killed by the Dongying samurai, and then followed to the woods in Xiqiu. When did you have a relationship with the Dongying people? Linlang didn't know. This wave after wave of things were connected in a string, and it didn't give Linlang a chance to breathe. The strangest thing is the blade! He seemed to know that he had a secret illness and killed the Toei samurai before leaving. This is also giving Li Zhidi a chance......

Linlang didn't care about Li Zhidi's blame, but was very confused by Jian Feng. If he comes to testify, the matter will naturally be solved, but will he be willing to reappear? How can we find the culprit who killed Nan'er?

"Hey!"

Linlang sighed softly, just in time for Ling Shan to walk into the house with a basin of hot water. She closed the door and saw that Linlang woke up with a bitter smile on her face. After changing the towel and walking to Linlang's side, looking at her haggard face, he couldn't help but lean down and said in a lost voice: "Miss, I've made you suffer!" ”

Linlang shook her head, twisted her sore neck and looked out the door.

"Jin Chi and Li Thief are still waiting in the main hall, this year, the Jin family is not quiet!" Ling Shan lowered her head and whispered while putting a towel on Linlang. She hated Li Zhidi very much, if she wasn't afraid of causing trouble for Yu Linlang, she would have dealt with it a long time ago.

Linlang owed slightly, Lingshan knew that she wanted to go to the main hall, so she quickly pressed Linlang's shoulders, stared at Linlang's weak eyes and said, "Miss, why worry, just let them wait." ”

"No......" Linlang gasped weakly, as if every word took away the energy from her. I'm going, I can't let Li Zhidi pick on it! ”

The sound of crackling firecrackers gradually sounded, and the entire Golden City was filled with fireworks. For example, the blooming peony is aggressive, and it is like a begging jade hand. On the street, people pile up firewood together, hold their children and roast their hands and smoke their faces in the light of the sky, in order to be healthy and safe in the coming year.

Compared with the lively atmosphere, the Jin family in the east of the city is much quieter. The servants filled the front yard with enough fireworks to light until dawn, but they did not get the master's order.

In the main hall, Jin Chi and Li Zhidi sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, and the two drank tea and were silent. After several long hours of suffering, Li Zhidi regretted it a lot, he shouldn't have let Jin Chi be the master and sent Linlang back to the Golden Mansion in the first place.

The two of them were embarrassed to raise their eyebrows, but they heard weak footsteps outside the door. Suddenly, Ling Shan helped Linlang to cross the threshold and appeared in sight.

Linlang curts, "Master, Linlang knows that she has caused inconvenience to the house, I hope you ask the master to forgive me!" ”

Jin Chi closed his eyes and answered, waved his hand and said lightly: "Who caused the inconvenience has not yet been ascertained, sit down and say!" Although Jin Chi's tone was angry, his words did not care about Li Zhidi's feelings at all.

Li Zhidi twisted his upper body uncomfortably, hooked his fingers slightly, and a guard led several eunuchs from the East Factory in.

"You are guilty!"

Li Zhidi leaned back in the chair and squinted at Linlang with his already small eyes. Fingers tapped rhythmically on the table of the Eight Immortals, accompanied by the heartbeat of the bumper to break through Linlang's psychological defenses.

"Linlang doesn't know!"

"Humph!" Li Zhidi's nostrils were wide open, "The boiled duck has a hard mouth, and the official will let you know slowly!" After speaking, he looked at the eunuch in the East Factory, and a flattering smile appeared on his fat face, "There is Lao Fan's father-in-law." ”

The man pursed his lips into a line, and the orchid fingers were blocked in front of his chest, pretending to have palpitations. "Li Guanren, Bengong and a few friends were hunting in the woods of Xiqiu, but they encountered such a thing. It is said that our people in Dongchang should not be in charge, but this girl is so desperate that after hearing their conversation, this palace decided to take care of this matter! ”
