Lin House.

Lin Zhou, who was dressed in filial piety, walked into the outer study and saw her husband [Lin Xiuyuan] sitting behind the desk with a tired face, rubbing his eyebrows with his eyes closed.

She was silent, and stepped forward to pick up the teapot and fill it for him.

"Get out."

Hearing the movement of pouring tea, Lin Xiuyuan still closed his eyes, but scolded impatiently: "Didn't you say that the master should be quiet?" ”

"Sir."

"Is that you?"

Lin Zhou called lightly, and Lin Xiuyuan knew that it was her, so he leaned back and sighed faintly: "Alas...... Say, what's the matter? ”

Lin Zhoushi walked around behind him, and rubbed his forehead with ease, for a long time, before he whispered: "Although the man who checked yesterday was a man, those mothers-in-law and girls still stayed in the back house and never left an inch. ”

Lin Xiuyuan closed her eyes again as early as when she started to massage the acupuncture points on her head, and she didn't even react at this time, as if she had fallen asleep.

Lin Zhou waited for a while, but he still couldn't get a response, so he said to himself: "I look at this posture, it seems like I want to dig up something ugly in our house, this ......"

"Is there still less scandal in our family?"

Lin Xiuyuan suddenly interrupted her words, and then fell silent again.

Lin Zhou was choked, and it was not easy to continue to speak for a while, so he could only massage the acupuncture points for her husband.

I don't know how long it took for Lin Xiuyuan to sigh faintly again: "It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God." ”

Obviously, by now, he has regretted asking Sun Shaozong to investigate the case.

But......

Even if it were Suncheonfu's investigation, would it be that those suspicious things would be ignored at all?

So at the moment, we can only hope that Sun Shaozong can find out the truth as soon as possible, instead of continuing to dig into the scandal of the Lin family.

"Master, master!"

As soon as he thought of this, suddenly a little guy shouted all the way and broke in, and found that Lin Zhou's was also in the study, so he stopped and bowed timidly: "Madam." ”

"What kind of system is this panic?"

Lin Xiuyuan scolded angrily, and then asked, "But there is another distinguished guest coming to the door, do you need to entertain?" ”

"It's not!"

The little guy shook his head with a rattle as if "It's Lord Sun, he'...... He asked people to find dozens of shovels, and he was about to dig three feet into the ground in the back house of our house! ”

Dig three feet into the ground?

Obviously, after repeated searches, he found nothing, so Sun Shaozong is still so sure, there must be a secret passage in his house?!

Lin Xiuyuan Huo Ran got up, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and he staggered and almost sat back.

"Master, you must be careful!"

Lin Zhou hurriedly supported him, but Lin Xiuyuan eased up a little, but gently pushed his wife away, and then strode out of the study with a calm face.

All the way to the back house,

I saw dozens of officials, already tossing in full swing, everywhere there were slabs that had been picked up, shrubs and flowers that had been dug up.

But it doesn't look messy, it's a bunch of neatly organized piles.

"Outside the forester."

Without waiting for Lin Xiuyuan to draw his attention from the hot construction site, Sun Shaozong took the initiative to find him, first bowed his hand, and then pointed to a person behind him and introduced: "This is Lord Feng Xinfeng, whose family has been running a civil engineering business for generations - with him, no matter whether he can dig up any clues or not, he will definitely be able to return to the original state in the end." ”

These words forced Lin Xiuyuan's questioning back to his lips.

Since it is guaranteed that it can be restored as it is, what is it to dig up a few paths and some flower beds in order to find out the truth about his father's murder?

However, in Lin Xiuyuan's heart, he had a faint premonition, it seemed that if he didn't stop this excavation as soon as possible, the Lin Mansion would encounter a greater calamity!

It's just that......

In what name should this excavation be stopped?

Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a long time before he finally came up with a reluctant reason, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly found that Sun Shaozong's attention was no longer on him, but turned to a place diagonally behind.

What is he looking at?

Lin Xiuyuan looked back in surprise and saw a petite young woman dressed in plain white, standing under the arch, looking at this side in a daze.

Is it the widowed daughter-in-law Shen Peilan?

What is she doing here?

And the expression looks very weird......

Say?!

Lin Xiuyuan's heart was shocked, he finally understood where his uneasy premonition came from!

For a while, he was panic and resentment, especially when he thought of the suspicious story of his son who was inexplicably seriously ill and then died with a whimper, he hated to immediately grab his daughter-in-law and torture him.

But now is not the time to settle old scores.

Because once such a rebellious thing is revealed, then the dead Lin Qisheng, and even the entire Lin family, will fall into the situation that Qianfu refers to!

"Master Sun!"

Lin Xiuyuan took a deep breath and said categorically: "I'm afraid that there is something wrong with this matter, please order the venerable family to stop first, and wait for you and me to discuss before deciding whether to continue digging!" ”

The moment he saw Shen Peilan appear, Sun Shaozong knew that he had made the right bet, and now that the truth was about to be revealed, how could he stop there?

smiled slightly, and was about to prevaricate a few perfunctory words, when he suddenly heard someone raise his voice and say: "Dig, continue to dig!" Don't stop! ”

Sun Shaozong and Lin Xiuyuan followed the prestige at the same time, but saw Shen Peilan stumbling to the front, looking at the shallow ravine with teary eyes, as if there was some treasure buried underneath.

Finished!

Lin Xiuyuan slowly closed his eyes and didn't look around again.

Sun Shaozong glanced at Feng Xin and motioned for everyone to speed up the progress.

…………

It was evening.

A secret passage buried four feet deep in the ground was finally exposed to everyone's eyes.

At the same time, it was also discovered that there was a corpse that bleed and died of poison, but with a peaceful face - after careful identification, the deceased was the little girl Liu'er who everyone had been looking for for a long time.

Around Liu'er's body, not only the remaining poison was found, but also several artifacts that were easy to excavate, as well as the scraps of dry food that had been gnawed.

In the middle of the tunnel, there are a lot of traces of excavation.

As for the entrances at both ends of the passage, they are tightly sealed with dirt, and they are full of marks of tamping with wooden mallets.

Obviously, the reason why Liu'er wanted to risk being discovered after poisoning Lin Qisheng and pretending to be Lin Qisheng for many days in a row was to make preparations and then block the two sections of the secret passage.

It's also obvious that when he designed this poisoning, he didn't want to leave alive!

Half an hour later.

The two ends of the secret passage were re-excavated, and the entrances that had been nailed were located in Lin Qisheng's study and Shen Peilan's bedroom.

"!"

Although he had expected it, Lin Xiuyuan still couldn't hold back at this time, rushed up and slapped his daughter-in-law in the face, and said angrily: "You...... How dare you...... How dare you ......"

But while he was angry, he didn't know how to accuse his daughter-in-law of what she had done.

Shen Peilan looked unusually calm.

To be precise, after Liu'er's body was exhumed, there was no one else in her eyes.

At this time, the corners of her mouth burst out, but she still stared at Liu'er in a daze, and even stretched out her hand tremblingly, wanting to help Liu'er smooth the broken hair on her forehead.

"!"

Lin Xiuyuan became more and more annoyed, and stopped between the two of them, and scolded angrily: "It's okay for you to hook up with this dog thief, how can you dare to harm the master?!" ”

As he spoke, he shouted again: "Come on, tie up this unclean for me and take it to the flower hall for interrogation!" ”

Obviously, at this point, he is still trying to save Lin Qisheng's reputation - even if his son may die because of this.

But this time, Shen Peilan reacted, raised her neck like a white goose, and argued: "No! He never ......"

Syllable~

Another slap was slapped, and Lin Xiuyuan shouted loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze?!" Tie her up for me! ”

The family members of the Lin Mansion woke up like a dream, and they pounced on them from all directions.

There was a steward inside, who obviously guessed Lin Xiuyuan's intentions, and as soon as he came up, he covered Shen Peilan's mouth with a handkerchief.

Lin Xiuyuan just breathed a sigh of relief, and a tall and burly figure squeezed through everyone, and silently took off the handkerchief that covered his mouth.

"Master Sun, you are ......"

"He never lifted a finger from me! Liu'er ...... Liu'er, he's never touched a finger of mine by chance! ”

Lin Xiuyuan's roar sounded at the same time as his daughter-in-law's terrible scream, and they converged with the red glow in the sky and fell into the darkness together.
