Although the mastermind behind this approach seems a bit idiotic, for the well that can't be drained, the only way to hide the secret contained in the well water is to fill in the soil.

But when the members of the second group told Sù Lin Shan of this result, he actually sent someone to go up the mountain again, dug the well thoroughly, and took the loess half a zhang high from the bottom of the well and took it back to do soluble water filtration, and separated two samples, one of which was handed over to the medicine ghost Liao Shi, and he also saved one for himself.

It's just that Lin Shan hasn't told anyone about this matter of melting soil and turning water, not even Li Gai knows. Li Gai only knew that the grass house where the old man lived in Beili was tampered with, and sent someone to analyze the few drops of grease that Lin Shantuo sent to Kyoto, and finally found out a few people, but it was obvious that he was just carrying the black pot for others, and he had not found out who the mastermind was.

Because of this incident, Lin Shan felt a heavy sense of guilt towards his master, the old man of Beili, so he would care so much about the people around him, and it could also explain why he was so angry and lost his temper just now after seeing that the person behind the impostor shopkeeper was still separated by a layer of control.

Li Gai knew that their conversation had inadvertently dug out the most taboo and painful thing in Lin Shan's heart, so he quickly changed the topic, smiled and said: "Don't take all the bad things on your head, you have to bear these troubles, it is better to keep a clear head, so that you can be flexible and adaptable." ”

"It's not good to act emotionally, and I apologize to you for what I just said." Lin Shan had also thought of his gaffe just now, so he picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Li Gai. Unexpectedly, the pot was small and the bowl was big, and the remaining half pot of wine was poured out, which was only enough to hold half a bowl.

"Haha, that's just enough for you to drink." Li Gai picked up the half bowl of wine and put it in front of Lin Shan, and then lifted the wine jar next to the table directly to the table. The delicately crafted but not too generous table was weighed down and trembled.

Li Gai covered the mouth of the altar with one hand, and said with a smile: "If you don't say sour words between brothers, I don't believe that you are a perfect person, didn't the respected master teach you the advantages of your junior brother?" ”

Lin Shan picked up the wine bowl that Li Gai had drunk, made a 'please' gesture towards the opposite side, and then said slowly: "You should know my biggest shortcoming, but it's a pity that my junior brother is more playful than when I am drunk. ”

"If you let your junior brother hear this, I guess he will be angry with you again." Li Gai said with a smile. Then he picked up the wine jar and took a sip with Lin Shan.

Wiping a handful of wine that spilled into his mouth, Li Gai pondered for a while and then said: "But then again, no matter what reason your junior brother entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am more sure of another thing now, the guy who looked like the rich man just now should be assigned by someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion." You also saw just now that the impostor shopkeeper was doing things for others, but the fat rich man who came out later was still not the main owner, otherwise your junior brother would not have no impression of him. ”

"After so many detours, it's a bit like the person who set fire to the Great Wilderness Mountain a few years ago." Lin Shan sneered.

Lige knew he hadn't given up on finding the man yet. The person behind the murder of the old man in Beili has already violated the bottom line that Lin Shan can chase the murderer for the rest of his life.

But Li Gai didn't follow Lin Shan's words, he had other things to remind Lin Shan.

"Third child, no matter what the background of the road ahead, you have to try to remind Cen Chi." Li Gai said intently: "This person has obviously carefully pondered your junior brother's habits before arranging such a calculation. And I saw that the donkey's hooves were thick with mud. But it's all done, it seems that Cen Chi has been on the outskirts of the city for a while, and that person can be so deliberate to pinch the time to harm him, his heart is unpredictable! ”

"I'm not worried about that." It seems that Lin Shan is really not worried, his expression is very relaxed, "There is no smell of blood in this move, even if he doesn't have a helper today, at most it is just a matter of entering the yamen and asking for some words." The worst possible is that, as you said before, the fake shopkeeper is instigating the fraud. My junior brother lost his mind and was beaten on the board. Fines some money and squatting in jail for a few days, and that's it, without hindering your life. ”

"Actually, the focus of my worries is not on this, but on Prime Minister Shi." Li Gai said slowly: "The fake shopkeeper's practice is actually for the word 'drag'. If the two sides started to do it just now, so many people watched, the emperor who promulgated the law was living in Beijing, and no matter how well-connected the Prime Minister's Mansion was, Cen Chi would at least have to go to prison for a night. Although the prison under the jurisdiction of the Yamen can indeed provide a temporary hiding place for some reckless people to hide from the pursuit of the enemy, for those who can already put their fingers in, entering the prison is equivalent to the beginning of darkness. ”

Lin Shan froze for a moment when he heard this, and asked: "I don't understand when I hear you say this, why Prime Minister Shi Cheng sent two masters to protect him, but it would be unfavorable to him. ”

"Prime Minister Shi Cheng and Cen Chi are only cooperative relations, so as long as this relationship of trust established on mutual benefit goes wrong, it is a little mysterious whether Prime Minister Shi Cheng will help Cen Chi. With so many diners in his house, why should he touch the emperor's most important law for a person who has a different heart? Li Gai suddenly exhaled deeply when he said this, and said again with doubts in his eyes: "I'm also a little confused now, if my plan is accurate, that person's approach may be stumbling Cen Chi, but the result is conducive to Cen Chi's safety." ”

Lin Shan asked, "What is the idea?" ”

"Your manuscript paper that was stolen by the rat raised by the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Li Gai said in a heavy tone: "Although you don't care about those and think that it is just a fragmented thing, didn't you also say what Cen Chi is best at just now?" Saboteurs often don't need to exert as much force as builders, and a front doesn't need to be broken one by one, and a few clicks in a row can make it ineffective. A four-legged horse lame, and even if it had three legs, it would not be able to run fast and steady. ”

Lin Shan's complexion finally sank.

The development of things became too unexpected in some places, and the biggest variable was that Lin Shan couldn't imagine that his junior brother had actually become a guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I remember that a few days ago, when he set off from Xingjia Village, he also told Mo Ye that his arithmetic skills can only be solved by his junior brother in this world, but the junior brother does not know where to go, and it may be difficult to meet again in this life - but he didn't expect to see the traces of his junior brother in Kyoto so soon, but the position he is in now is so crooked.

"It would be very disadvantageous for us if Cen Chi could spell out something through those scraps, but I think he couldn't spell it out. But Prime Minister Shi didn't know that those encrypted manuscripts were broken, and Cen Chiruo finally handed him all paper scraps, what do you think Prime Minister Shi Cheng would think? Li Gai didn't stop speaking out because of Lin Shan's silence, and after a slight pause, he continued: "It's still not sure if Prime Minister Shi Cheng knows about his relationship with you, but this question seems to have nothing to explore. ”

Li Gai sighed before he said: "Your relationship with the same family may be the reason why Prime Minister Shi Cheng left Cen Chi, and it is also a foreshadowing that he planted early, but now it may be the reason why Cen Chi is in danger." ”

Lin Shan raised his eyebrows and drank the half bowl of wine in his hand, and was silent for a long time, he suddenly let go of his eyebrows and smiled: "Why don't you send someone to tie him up and send him back to my master?" ”

"To the people around you, this trick of yours is about to be used out." Li Gai joked with a smile: "But this trick is indeed the fastest effect!" ”

Lin Shan lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell into the empty wine bowl, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I have to spend some more time pondering this matter." ”

……

On Ankang Road in the north of the city, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is closed, and only the two lanterns hanging next to the gate reveal a soft light, shining on the carefully painted gate, reflecting the brilliance.

A spider slid straight down from the top of the gate with a filament. The lanterns bring warmth to it, and the holes in the corners provide an environment for wintering, and the weather in Kyoto begins to warm up these days, and it is also rejuvenated by spring. Having gathered a few days in the cracks of the wall, it was ready to weave a large net tonight, and feast on the flying insects that had been attracted by the light of the lamps and had been as successful as it had been in wintering.

-- It would be a very tasty prey.

It's just that its net has just opened a straight main line, and the door that obviously won't open lightly at this time in the night suddenly opens.

A young man walked out with a steady and powerful step, and the fat earth spider was so stirred by the wind that opened the door that it hung on the spider's silk for a few points, and before it could climb the silk, it was trampled on the stone steps of the doorway by the foot that seemed to make an imprint on the iron plate, and then a second foot, and a third foot......

If this spider could think like a human, it would have exclaimed on its deathbed the same exclamation as the cedars a few streets away: What a surprise!

The four young men walked out of the house one by one, and then stood outside the door with their hands tied. The ordinary cloth clothes they wore were supported by muscles that were full of strength, and each of them had a light in their eyes like sharpened swords. What came out after the four people was a noble son dressed in a cyan brocade robe and a green jade embedded in his hair crown, he was Shi Xin, the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As soon as Shi Xin walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the four family members who were in front of him just now lowered their eyes slightly, and the five people who approached with the sound of donkey hooves not far away also sped up.

"Subordinates meet the third young master!" In the end, the four family members from the Prime Minister's Mansion walked faster, and after approaching quickly, they saluted Shi Xin together.

"You've worked hard this trip, let's go rest first!" Shi Xin gestured to the four people. In the Prime Minister's Mansion, no matter who he treats, he is courteous and first, and of course, the respect and loyalty that the servants of the whole mansion give back to him is also huge.

When the four of them entered the mansion, Shi Xin turned around slightly, and saw Cen Chi who was already approaching, and he greeted him with a happy face: "Brother Cen has not seen you for a year, and you are finally back." ”。 (To be continued.)
