This time Lin Chaoge didn't speak, Su Man naturally didn't talk much, the tea in the thin white porcelain cup was empty, add a cup to each of them, there was a small courtyard outside the window, there were a lot of flowers and trees planted in it, and Ruyang was warm and humid, and the crickets could be heard cooing in February.

"Lord Lin, you're asleep." The two of them were talking in the house when there was another knock at the door.

Who will be here this time?

The two of them in the room looked at each other, neither of them spoke, so quiet that they could breathe clearly between each other, but the knocking outside the door became more and more urgent, and if she didn't open the door, she vowed to break the door and break in.

Lin Chaoge motioned to Su Manxian to hide, got up and dressed himself and walked to the door, and grabbed his half-scattered hair in the bronze crystal mirror to tie a gentleman's sideburns at will, only then pushed the door out with a cold face, and pushed the door out of the door, and when he pushed the door open, he saw Lord Chen, who was only in a hurry today, and I don't know why this person came to her house in the middle of the night to look for someone.

Under the moonlight on the eaves outside the door, on the steps of the small stone green algae, the man was dressed in a straight-necked robe with indigo longan leaf pattern, with a square appearance, a slightly thick lip, messy eyebrows, and a wild and wild state, and a slightly short and parallel to it. I vaguely remembered that this person had not appeared on the dock today, and when she looked at the uninvited guest in front of her, the person was also looking at her, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes and then quickly hidden, his expression was serious and square.

"Disturbed late at night, I hope that the lord will forgive the sin, I don't know if the lower official can go into the house to talk in detail in case the partition wall has ears." The voice is as serious and square as a person, just like a snow-capped mountain and green pine that is not broken.

Looking at the half-open room swept away, Lin Chaoge seemed to feel sideways to cover it, and reached out to close the door, only revealing a small slit at the edge, and his eyes were impatient after being woken up.

"If there is anything to do, just talk about it outside, the people walking around the courtyard are all people brought by the official from Beijing, and you can definitely rest assured about security and confidentiality." With her hands around her chest and hugging, with an unkind alienation, the third watch let a foreign man into the house in the middle of the night, even if she didn't do anything, she would always feel a little ashamed in her heart, and besides, it was quiet and unhindered.

However, she was curious about what was the reason for this person's late-night visit, and who put him in, and her narrow peach blossom eyes were half-narrowed, and there was darkness in her eyes.

"Xiaguan came to look for Lord Lin late at night, in fact, he wanted to tell the Lord about the murder of Mo Zhifu today, as well as the causes and consequences of the old case of the destruction of the Lin Mansion in Ruyang from beginning to end. Facing the deep eyes that were as black as ink, gritting his teeth and saying what happened this time was as difficult as asking for half his life.

But there is also a faint illusion of relief, that secret is really overwhelming him, if he can't find someone to bear him, he will be completely crazy.

However, instead of showing a series of expressions of surprise, surprise and disbelief that he imagined, the person opposite him mocked and ridiculed, which was really different from his imagination.

"Oh, why did Lord Chen say this, how can I be so sure that this official is not really here to investigate the people's livelihood and people's feelings, but only to secretly investigate the old case of the Lin family back then, not to mention the investigation, it has been nearly twenty years since the case of that year, even if there are clues left by them back then, maybe it will be dusted long ago." Lin Chaoge raised his eyebrows, but he was a little more interested in what this person said, and looked at Chen Zichu, who was about the same height as him, in front of him, the champion of Qingyuan's eleventh year; "And why do you think this official believes your three words, is it possible that Lord Cheng Chen thinks that this official has been frightened today and his brain is a little confused, so that anyone who says nonsense must not believe it."

Having said that, her heart is also at a loss, not knowing what kind of medicine this person bought in the gourd, and whether he is friend or foe.

Even if what he said was true, it couldn't prevent her from speaking tentatively, even if her heart was like a bottomless tattered hole at the moment, and her face was as noble and clear as ever.

"Lord Lin doesn't believe what Zai Xia said, right?" The tone was slightly raised, with a sharpness that pierced the night.

"Nope." hurriedly shook his head and denied it, and then said; "It's just that the official remembers that Chen Zhuangyuanlang was sent to Ruyang by the Emperor Taishang six years after the destruction of the Lin Mansion that year, and there is a fact that the incident has already been burned clean by a fire, even if there is a horsetail left behind, maybe it has been cleaned up long ago, where did Lord Chen know, and even know that the official secretly investigated the matter of the year." Anyway, she has already admitted what she was doing when she came to Ruyang, and it was only a matter of time before she was discovered by someone who cared about it, so why not let herself tear this rotten wound, maybe she would receive an unexpected joy.

It's up to man, and it's up to fate.

"This official is curious about Lord Chen's late night visit and how Lord Chen learned about the case of Lin Zhai's annihilation, and I also ask Lord Chen to solve one or two doubts for this official." Lin Chaoge raised her eyebrows and pressed step by step, she didn't believe that there would be a free lunch in this world, not to mention that this incident happened at noon today, after Mo Zhifu was killed, this person came to tell him in the middle of the night that he knew about the incident.

Is it really so easy to fool her when she's a fool?

"Lord Lin doesn't believe what the lower officials say, so why be aggressive." Even if a person with a good temper is kind enough to come over and tell the truth back then, anyone who is so suspicious will have three points of anger at the moment, and he will turn around and leave.

I thought it was just a fledgling boy who would keep his voice when he saw himself leaving angrily, but he didn't see him say anything for a long time, and he didn't even give a step, so he could only snort coldly and really flick his sleeves and leave, and he was displeased.

Lin Chaoge leaned on the carved white jade lotus door and squinted a pair of narrow peach blossom eyes, watching the person leave, the huge figure disappeared and drowned in the boundless darkness, his eyes were full of emotion, he waited for a long time, and spit out a sentence; "Send someone to find out what this person is."

"Your Excellency suspects that this person is a cat."

"It's not that it's suspicious, it's just that I'm not sure who this person is, and you don't think the timing of his appearance is too coincidental and suspicious." The corners of his lips rose slightly, just a sneer.

An apricot petal that floated from nowhere, fluttered and flew down beside her, reached out to catch it, kneaded it into mud, and let it fall into mud and crush into dust, only fragrant as before.

Because after the murder tragedy occurred on the first day at the wharf, not to mention that it was the governor of a state who died, everyone was panicked, so that now there are a lot fewer pedestrians on the street, where are there still scholars and young ladies who are eyebrow-to-eye, everywhere they see officers and soldiers arresting people from door to door, and the banquet that washes the dust has been canceled, and instead they participated in the funeral of Mo Zhifu.

He Qingrang didn't know if he was stimulated that day or what, after he came back, he had a fever and a cold, and recently it was so serious that he couldn't get out of bed without the wind.

So much so that when receiving and knowing the local county guard and county order, Lin Chaoge was alone, and she could often be seen going out at dawn, and only when the moon was on the willow head came back with a tired body, there was not much alcohol on her body, but the smell of fat powder was a lot bigger, but the face of the waiter next to her was getting darker and darker, just like the bottom of the pot in the kitchen was black and smelly.

The leisurely days passed quickly, because Mo Zhifu was wronged in their eyes, or the harm he encountered on the dock where he picked up Lin Chaoge, everyone will bring anger, and what the woman's family will do is nothing more than crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, as for not knowing whether it is because of God's curse or what, Mo Zhifu has only one son and the rest are daughters, and his son Xiao Laozi is naturally a model, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and even the women who have died in these years are not a hundred or ten.

As early as when his father was killed, he didn't know which woman's belly had just climbed down, his eyes were swollen and black, his steps were vain, and he looked indulgent/desired/excessive, but this Mo Gongzi and his Laozi Mo Zhifu were like carved out of a mold, except that he was younger and had fewer wrinkles, it was simply a young version of Mo Zhifu, which was just as appetizing.

On the second day, Lin Chaoge, who had just fallen asleep at dawn, heard Xi'er say that the young master of the Mo family came up with a group of people from the Yamen, saying that his father had died unjustly, and hoped that the adults would give him an explanation and give his father justice.

No matter how nice it sounds, in fact, it just hopes that they will return their lives, Lin Chaoge has been busy recently and has no time to clean up this group of jumping clowns, who knows that people are still in a hurry to make up, there is a way in heaven you don't go, and there is no door to hell You just come.

In this way, I can't complain about her, the corners of her pink lips are slightly up, and the untimely peach on a spring branch is not shocking, and the tea student retreats silently, ready to take it home.

"Childe, can you beat people out like last time?" Xi'er saw that her young master seemed to be in a particularly good mood today, and her eyes rolled and she thought that it must be the regent or Wang Xiaogongzi who wrote a letter to her, and even a flower smiled on his face, and he was unaware that he was afraid that he would make a spring thought.

"No, you go and invite people in, remember to invite people in a good voice." The plain white little hand picked up a piece of desirable cake and left a fragrance between the lips and teeth.

Heyi cake was formerly known as Duohe pie, and its main raw materials are purple rice, buckwheat, barley, broad beans, black sesame and other grains and precious fillings. The color is golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the layers are clear, fragrant but not greasy, cool but not hard, but the filling in the cake she eats is replaced with peach blossoms, pear blossoms and apricot blossoms and yellow peaches and dates and honey.

Xi'er originally had a bad appetite when she saw her on the boat, and deliberately made it for a long time, but there were many new flavors mixed in it, but this one won her the most.
