"Zhang Li, don't you think it's ironic?" Looking at the brightly lit flower boats in the river, Lin Yuan said leisurely. Lin Yuan never thought of himself as a sentimental person, but on the way south, he saw all kinds of tragic conditions of the victims on the way, and the further back he went, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart. He had never seen such a scene, that is, in the previous history books, there were only eight words at most: "Corpses are all over the field, and they are eaten by children." "But it was unimaginable.

Zhang Li knew what Lin Yuan was talking about, he had no words, he was just a school captain, and he couldn't say any big truth. The guard outside the door gently pushed open the door and came in, and reported: "Young Master, Lord Yin is here, waiting outside." ”

Sighing and closing the window, Lin Yuan regained his spirits and said, "Call in." ”

"Yes."

When Yin Shidao came in, there were only Lin Yuan and Zhang Li in the house, but the atmosphere in the room was very depressing, Yin Shidao frowned, and saluted: "The last general has seen the Duke of Yasukoto." ”

"Lord Yin, get up." Yin Shidao in front of him used to be his father's personal guard, and then he was transferred to Jiangnan to serve, and it has been more than ten years, and he was still young at that time, but he didn't have much impression.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Yin Shidao stood up, glanced at Lin Yuan, and sighed in his heart, he is too similar to his grandfather, although he does not have the momentum of his old man leading troops all year round, but it is not bad, it seems that he has been fighting in the north all these years.

"Sit down, Lord Yin." Motioning for Yin Shidao to sit down, Lin Yuan took a sip of tea before asking, "Shen Bin is still in prison?" ”

"Shen Gongzi is still in prison, and his subordinates can take over the prison, but they don't have the right to bring people out, but it's safe for now." Yin Shidao replied.

Lin Yuan nodded: "I heard that it was a matter of private tribute?" ”

"It's not a tribute, it's an heirloom of the Shen family, Old Lady Shen was accidentally seen by the Xue family when he was feasting guests, and he was just interested in seeing the wealth." Yin Shidao explained, and he was also complaining about the Xue family in his heart, he really went back more and more, and he wanted to ruin his family for this little thing.

"I'm afraid it won't be that simple." Lin Yuan shook his head, frowned and thought: "The Shen family can't say what Zhong Ming Ding's family is, but it is just a small family wealth, in the eyes of the Xue family, I am afraid that all the net worth of the Shen family will not attract much interest, and the Xue family will not get the Lin and Shen families into such a situation for the sake of a family heirloom, I am afraid that there is something strange about that thing." ”

"Have you ever seen that thing?" Lin Yuan looked at Yin Shidao and asked.

"No, but I've heard people say that it's a picture of the King of Medicine." Yin Shidao had found someone to check before, but only to know the news.

"Who drew it?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I don't know about this, Shen Gongzi is just insisting that the ancestral precepts cannot be violated and will not hand over the painting, but he doesn't know the specific reason." Yin Shidao told Lin Yuan his news, and after hesitating for a moment, Yin Shidao still said: "My subordinates are afraid that Shen Gongzi is still a little wary, and some truths have not been revealed. ”

"You arrange for me to see him tonight." Lin Yuan thought for a while.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Yin Shidao was a little surprised, but seeing Lin Yuan nodding, he couldn't say anything, so he could only turn around and go out to arrange.

In the prison of Zhenjiang Mansion, Shen Bin looked at Lin Yuan who came in with joy in his eyes, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lin Yuan with gestures. Seeing this, Yin Shidao on the side waved his hand to let his subordinates go out and close the door himself.

Unbuttoning the cloak, Lin Yuan looked at Shen Bin with a smile: "I made you suffer." ”

"It's okay, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been killed." Shen Bin shook his head and smiled: "Drink and peck, this time you saved the lives of our two families, but I owe you a great favor." ”

Lin Yuan shook his head: "Talking about this hurtful feelings, if I don't have you, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the corpse." ”

"The Xue family is still looking for something in your house." Lin Yuan put the food in the lunch box on the table and poured wine in front of Shen Bin.

"The things he asked for were not in the house, and I had already asked my wife to take them away." Shen Bin's words did not surprise Lin Yuan, when he received the news, the Xue family turned the Shen family upside down almost inside and out, not to mention the Medicine King Diagram, even a piece of waste paper was not spared. It turned out that I still didn't find it.

"I'm a little curious, what's so peculiar about that painting that makes the Xue family so crazy?" Lin Yuan said curiously.

Shen Bin drank all the wine in the wine glass and said, "I don't know, when my father died, I was warned that I must not hand over the painting, even if the Shen family is gone." ”

"It's pedantic, who can keep this painting if there is no one in your house." Lin Yuan said. Unexpectedly, Shen Bin's next words startled him.

"This painting has been passed on to three families, and my Shen family is the fourth, and the previous ones were all catastrophes." Shen Bin said in a deep voice.

"How do you know?" Lin Yuan was a little surprised, what kind of painting is so scary, he was destroyed if he took it.

"Isn't it ironic? It's obviously a picture of the king of medicine, but he doesn't want to become a life-threatening thing. Shen Bin smiled, "I learned about this from an old man in the family, I'm afraid my father doesn't know much, he only knows that it is a treasure, but he doesn't know about the disaster." ”

"And why are you still keeping it?" Lin Yuan was a little puzzled, since he knew that there was a problem with this painting, why did he still keep it in his hand.

Shen Bin looked at Lin Yuan: "If I had lost my curiosity, I wouldn't have saved you at that time." Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, smiled and didn't say anything, Shen Bin continued: "Later, I found some interesting things in the painting, there is a mezzanine inside, and there is a map hidden, which is hidden under the landscape map in the painting. ”

Lin Yuan frowned and looked at Shen Bin: "Have you seen the map?" ”

"No, I don't dare to look at it, I'm very timid, I don't dare to think that if I know that secret, will my soul return to Jiuquan in the next moment." Shen Bin smiled, "Because the person who brought the painting to my Shen family is still alive." ”

"Isn't that your Shen family's heirloom?" Lin Yuan asked with a frown.

"If you don't say that, how can you dispel other people's suspicions, but I never expected that the Xue family seemed to know this secret." Shen Bin smiled bitterly.

Lin Yuan was silent, he originally thought that the Shen family's affairs were difficult to coordinate with the Xue family, but now it seems that the problem lies in that painting, if it is an ordinary painting, it is easy to say, but it involves three tragic cases, which makes Lin Yuan have to deal with it carefully.

"You wait a few days, and I'll get you out of prison before we talk about anything else." Lin Yuan persuaded.

Shen Bin shook his head: "It's not so troublesome, I figured it out, now that you are here, I will hand over the painting, and the Xue family will not dare to do anything about my two families, since he wants it, just give it to him." ”

"No, this painting is a little weird, the Xue family took such a big risk to get it, there must be some mystery, don't be impatient, I'll think of other ways first." Lin Yuan stopped it.

The Xue family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and they have never seen anything, and if they want to die or live for the sake of the medicine king, there must be demons when things go wrong. Lin Yuan always felt that this painting could not be disposed of casually.

"You first write a letter to the capital, report peace to your wife, and tell her by the way that you should hide the painting and not show it easily." Lin Yuan instructed. Shen Bin listened and nodded in understanding.

Out of the prison, Lin Yuan said to Yin Shidao: "You send a few people to the Xue Mansion to keep an eye on it, don't be too obvious, I want to know about the recent developments of the Xue family." ”

"Understood, I'll arrange it." Yin Shidao responded, and Lin Yuan got up and hurried back to the inn. He had to think about how this should work.

In the Yangzhou Mansion, Yang Tai was eating supper, listening to the report of the subordinate that the Duke of Yasukuni had just entered the boundary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and frowned and asked: "How many days have you been out, why is it so slow?" ”

"Returning to my lordship, the speed of Yasukuni Gong is not slow, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Yangzhou in three or four days." The servant replied.

"I think he won't settle in Yangzhou for the time being, and the matter in Zhenjiang Mansion is not over yet." Yang Tai thought for a while and said, "You are sending some people out to investigate, and you must find out the itinerary of the Yasukuni Gong." ”

"The little one knows, so let's do it." Watching his subordinates go out, Yang Tai frowned and wondered what it meant for Jingzhong to send Yasukuni Gong south.

Half a month ago, the Yangzhou garrison suddenly found himself and said that he was going to Zhenjiang Mansion to protect himself, and he usually couldn't even see Ye Tao, this time Yang Tai was a little confused, and he didn't think much about it at the time, so he approved Zhang Tiaozi, who knew that the next day the Zhenjiang Governor complained to himself, saying that the Zhenjiang garrison was going to rebel, and he led troops to surround his mansion early in the morning.

Yang Tai was taken aback at the time, and after finding out, he learned that the person they wanted to protect was arrested by the Xue family, and he was also the life-saving benefactor of the Duke of Yasukuni. This made Yang Tai's head big for a while, and both sides were inoffensive existences. Not to mention the Xue family in western Henan, it is the Jingguo Gong, and the garrisons of most of the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River are all from the Yasukuni Gong's account.

Yang Tai has served as the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang for three years since Qide, and it has been seven years, during which there has never been such a tricky matter, and now there is no countermeasure, fortunately, the two sides are still in control, Yang Tai has no choice but to wait to see how the southbound Yasukuni Gong will deal with this matter. Yang Tai felt that he had never been so tired, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were already in the majority of the family, and he had coordinated the relationship between the imperial court and the family for so many years, but he could not have imagined this situation today.

The capital, the Luoxian Tower. Lin Jia put the painting away, and Shen Yue saw that Lin Jia's face was still melancholy, so he persuaded: "Young grandma, don't worry, the Duke of Yasukuni has gone in person, and the young master will be fine." ”

Lin Jia smiled reluctantly: "I'm not worried about my husband, I knew before the Duke of Yasukuni made a move, and there will be no more mistakes in this matter." ”

"Then why are you still sad?" Shen Yue was a little puzzled.

"I'm worried about this painting, the two families are in trouble because of it, my husband said before, this painting is the source of disaster, let me not show people easily, but I always feel that it is better to give up, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second Xue family."

Shen Yue is not speechless, this is a family matter, she is not good at interjecting, although this painting is said to be a family heirloom of the Shen family, but it is only a few decades in the hands of the Shen family, but it almost didn't even reach Shen Bin's hands, if it wasn't for the Jingguo Gong's action, the Shen family would have been gone.

Lin Jia sighed, she didn't expect Shen Yue to help her at the moment, staring at the painting in her hand, Lin Jia was a little difficult to choose, if the Xue family was a little difficult to do, she would hand over the painting, thinking that with the presence of the Yasukuni Gong, they would not do the work of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.
