He Huan regretted it when he stepped out of the door. What she wants to do is to clear up Shen Jinglun's misunderstanding, not to get angry with him, but she really doesn't like to be caught between him and Xie San.

"Miss Table." Daylilies greeted He Huan and saluted her.

"I'll just go back by myself, and you can go and see what your cousin-in-law has to say." He Huan walked straight out.

Daylilies were inexplicable, and when she turned around, she saw Shen Jinglun standing at the door. She was the slave maid of the Shen family, so she naturally returned to her master and whispered: "Uncle." "Wait for orders.

Shen Jinglun saw that He Huan turned his back to him, and walked towards the courtyard gate without looking back, shook his head and smiled: "Let her be." ”

Daylilies caught a glimpse of her master's smile and couldn't help but froze. Shen Jinglun rarely showed a sincere smile, at most she politely hooked the corners of her mouth, and at this time she finally understood why the maids and daughters-in-law who were serving in the main courtyard were envious of the late grandmother. It is said that only in the face of the grandmother, the master will also show a smile that makes the women blush and heartbeat.

Thinking of this, Daylilies felt a pang in her heart. At this moment, the master smiled at He Huan's back, this kind of smile full of helplessness and deep pampering, the meaning behind it is self-evident. She looked at He Huan's back in surprise and saw that she was striding out of the moon gate.

He Huan naturally didn't know that Shen Jinglun and Xuancao, who were behind Lu Dao, were watching her leave. She paused outside the courtyard gate, looked around, and saw Xiao Er talking to someone not far away. She stepped forward and wanted to ask him to help hire a car, but vaguely heard Xiao Er say: "Uncle Shen just invited Lord Lu to tea in Qihuaiju yesterday, and today he made an appointment with Miss He, didn't you ask Lord Lu to protect the media?" ”

He Huan's footsteps paused slightly, and then he heard another person say, "Don't guess." I didn't see it yesterday after Lord Lu returned to the Yamen. Was Second Master Lin immediately released by the Yamen? Again. Uncle Shen made it clear that if he does not remarry within three years, he will naturally do what he says, unless he is a concubine......"

"Miss He!" Xiao Er exclaimed, hurriedly glanced at his companion, and stepped forward to salute He Huan.

He Huan just didn't hear their conversation and asked them to arrange a car for her.

On the way back to He's house, He Huan thought of Xie San's accusation against Shen Jinglun for a while. After a while, he recalled Shen Jinglun's words and deeds. She didn't want to meddle in the grievances between them, but she was involved. What should she do?

Back at the He family, the Cao family couldn't wait to meet He Huan, and described vividly that early this morning, He Baihai had just gone to the yamen to "urge" the arresters to help him hunt down the fugitive slave Shuiting, and the Lu family in Lingcheng sent someone to visit. Zou hurriedly invited He Baihai home, and Cao guessed that He Xin was likely to be divorced by the Lu family.

Although He Huan did not have a good impression of Sanfang, he gloated when he saw Cao's schadenfreude. She had to remind her: "The second sister was divorced by the Lu family, which is harmful to my reputation and that of Brother Jing. ”

Cao Shi listened. He closed his mouth in a daze, and said after a while: "The jokes made by the third master and his family are not as wonderful as the second master Lin. Earlier, I heard rumors that a few days ago, Miss Lin Er was kidnapped and spent the night outside......"

"Where did you hear that?" He Huan stopped. On that day, it was Xie San who bought the Lin family's subordinates and kidnapped Lin Mengyan, just to force her to tell the truth. Xie San's original plan was to silently erase this matter afterwards, but the appearance of Lin Guqing and Lin Zhutou had to make him change his plan.

Thinking that Lin Mengyan actually intended to insult himself with the intention of ordering hooligans, He Huan felt that Lin Mengyan's situation today was simply to blame, but who was the mastermind behind Feng Jiyang? This is the one who started it all.

Seeing He Huan's solemn expression, Cao Shi thought for a while, and replied: "I don't know where these words came from, but everyone is talking about this matter in private, and some people say that Miss Lin Er intends to have sex with a man......."

"Okay, why is she a girl who has not been out of the cabinet......"

It was precisely because she did not decide to marry that everyone said that it was the second master Lin and his wife who killed their biological daughter. At this time, let alone the Shen family, which is a wealthy family, even if it is an ordinary wealthy family, they are not willing to marry her. I look at that, there are only two ways left for her now, either she will not marry for the rest of her life, or she will marry away from home. As a woman, even if the Cao family didn't like Lin Mengyan, she still sighed faintly and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, if she is only thirteen or fourteen years old, things will slowly fade in two years, but she is already sixteen or seventeen at this time, and this life is ruined." ”

He Huan didn't respond to this, and his expression became more and more solemn. As the saying goes, a dog jumps off a wall in a hurry. She understands Lin Mengyan's temper, she has always been higher than the sky, and she is unscrupulous, she will never give up.

"White peony!" He Huan shouted.

"Miss." Bai Shao hurriedly walked in front of his master.

He Huan originally wanted to go to see Xie San with her and ask him if he knew why Lin Guqing's family and Lin Zhutou appeared at the inn at the same time, but in a flash, she remembered what Shen Jinglun had just said to her. At present, remarrying Shen Jinglun is her primary goal. Since Shen Jinglun was very concerned about this matter, she had to keep her distance from Xie San.

He Huan could only turn to ask about Bai Shao, Wei and others, and then ordered Uncle Zhang to go out to inquire about the movements of Lin Guqing's family, and then returned to the West Cross Courtyard.

What He Huan thought of, Xie San naturally thought of as well.

Looking at the whole story, although the anonymous letter received by Lin Guqing was more suspicious, the anonymous letter could not be checked at all, and Lin Zhutou was unwilling to reveal where his so-called "reliable" news came from. He directly arrested the lame man Wang back to the yamen.

Lin Zhutou had been investigating the murder of He Daxu and others, and when he learned that Wang Cripple had been arrested, he hurried back to the yamen and saw him kneeling in front of Xiao Zhutou, while Xie San was sitting on the side drinking tea.

Lin Zhutou stepped forward to salute Xie San, and said in a deep voice: "Xie Sanye, the lame king has been with me for many years, you arrested him to the yamen, and he will ...... in the future."

"The lame king is your informant?" Xiao Zhutou looked stunned, but then angry, he kicked Wang lame shoulder, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai angrily: "You confess honestly, you gave me false news, do you want to frame me!" ”

Lin Zhutou was slightly stunned and asked Xiao Zhutou: "Old Xiao, what's the matter?" He's my informant, how can he give you news? ”

Without waiting for Xiao Zhutou to answer, Wang Cripple turned around, kowtowed to Lin Zhutou repeatedly, and muttered: "Lin Zhutou, although the little one shouldn't follow you and Xiao Zhutou at the same time, the news that the little one gave you is true." After that, he kowtowed to Xiao Zhutou again, and swore and said: "Xiao Zhutou, Master He San colluded with anti-thieves to smuggle goods, this is true......

"Bang!" Xie San put down the teacup and said with a calm face: "The so-called catching thieves and taking stolen goods, Xiao Zhutou went to He's house to search." ”

"Your Excellency!" Wang Cripple kowtowed to Xie San and said in a mournful voice: "Over the years, the little one has been selling news for a living, and everything he does is word-of-mouth. If you don't believe it, you can ask Lin Zhutou and Xiao Zhutou, which time is the news I gave them fake? ”

Xiao grabbed his head and grabbed Bai Dao: "Cripple Wang, you haven't been doing this business for a day or two, you should know that there are rules for the Tao, and one servant does not serve the two masters." At this moment, he deeply felt that Lin Zhutou always pressed him, and it was simply the lame king who left him all the valuable news.

was scolded by Xiao Zhutou, Wang Cripple was immediately silenced, kneeling on the ground, his body trembling like a leaf in the autumn wind, and his heart was sad and angry.

The king was not born lame. His grandfather and father were both good sailers. Ten years ago, he followed his father and went on his first voyage with the merchant ships of the Lin and He families. Although it is hard to go to sea, and the days at sea are even more difficult, their wages for a year of hard work are enough for the family to nourish and nourish for two or three years.

Ten years ago, when the lame man was only seventeen years old, he clearly remembered that day, the sky was overcast and the wind was cold, and when he saw several large ships coming around, he nervously asked his father what had happened. His father told him that running a boat is similar to a dart, and the Lin He family has been operating at sea for many years, and when they encounter pirates, they will give some money to buy the road as usual.

Sure enough, the flotillas on both sides shouted a few times in words he didn't understand, and a small boat carried a few boxes of things back and forth. That night, the main ship ceased fire, and there was a faint sound of silk and bamboo music, accompanied by the sound of men rowing and drinking.

After dinner, the lame man went back to the cabin to sleep. In the middle of the night, when he was asleep in a daze, he was suddenly awakened by his father, and when he woke up, he saw the fire outside the cabin, shining the night as if it were day. He was dragged out of the hatch by his father, and all he heard was howling and crying all around, and several large black ships surrounded their fleet, and on the edge of the large ships stood black turbans with bows and arrows.

Before he could ask his father what had happened, an arrow was fired straight at his face. As he was stunned, his father stood in front of him, and the arrow went into his shoulder. It was then that he saw that his father was covered in blood, his eyes were red, and the knife in his hand was covered with blood.

He was speechless in astonishment, when he saw two men in black turbans slashing at them with their swords, and one of them shouted, "Kill them, and not a single one will be left alive!" ”

He instinctively wanted to protect his injured father, but was pushed into the sea by his father. He emerged from the icy waters and saw his father lying on the side of the boat. He watched the black-scarf man swing his knife at his father's back, and heard his father shout with all his strength: "Go to the main ship and save your life!" ”

Before he could react, feathered arrows rained at him. He plunged headlong into the water, and he knew that his right leg had been shot, but he didn't feel pain, and he didn't feel cold. Remembering his father's last words, he tried to swim towards the main ship, but saw that the ship was like an arrow off the string, and fled in panic as the big black ship pursued it.

In desperation, he tried to swim back to his father, when suddenly all the merchant ships caught fire at the same time, and the flames lit up the whole sea. In the midst of the raging flames, he saw the black-turbaned men tear down the curtain and line up on the side of the big black ship in turn, cheering and celebrating against the flames.

Thinking he was dead, he clung to the floating plank in despair, gradually losing consciousness.

I don't know how many days later, when he opened his eyes, he saw the sun shining in the blue sky, and he was lying on the deserted beach. (To be continued......)
