023 Surrender

Glancing along the direction of the Chengxi Forest Mansion towards the center of the capital, at this moment, you will probably see a grand scene of empty alleys with ten thousand people in the capital.

The crowd was crowded, like a walking corpse, and in the middle of the dark procession, a carriage with a cyan tassel pendant was mixed in it, and it did not move.

The driver slammed the reins, and the body shook violently, and the people inside were jolted, and with an exclamation, they tore open the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Luo Yan's tone was very irritable, but with his face that was only slightly frowned, the color was reduced a lot.

The driver looked back at him very helplessly, and he didn't need to reply, he could see that he was surrounded by a crowd in front of him.

"You go and inquire and see what's going on!"

Lin Yingfang just said something like that, although it was nonsense that he said in a hurry, but he said it out of control, and it sounded quite what he really thought in his heart. Luo Yan was angry and worried that he had nowhere to sprinkle, so he was very polite when he opened the curtain.

Seeing this situation now, and seeing the innocent face of the little guy, he suddenly spoke softly again, and after finishing speaking, he closed the curtain and sat back again.

It was already the seventh or ninth year old at the end of winter, and the weather was still not warm, only slightly breathable, Lin Ying seemed to be uncomfortable with the wind again, covered his mouth and nose and sneezed, but tried his best to cover it, but there was not much movement.

Originally, the car was bumping from side to side like this, and it was not very embarrassing, but now that it was quiet, just sitting like this, Lin Ying felt that it was a little difficult to breathe.

But all this is because of himself, and he can't do anything more, so he can only rub it secretly, and he can't wait to find a hole to get into.

He just sighed and looked at it, and Luo Yan's butt was still warm up in the seat, but he got up again.

This time, he simply jumped off the ground,

Lin Ying hurriedly bowed his body to the front, because he couldn't reach it, so he only opened a thin slit and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Luo Yan landed and looked around, and finally found the place he wanted, and was just about to leave, when he heard his question and turned his head and smiled: "Lord Lin, don't worry, my mediocre and ruthless master won't kill people!" ”

After a pause, seeing that he hadn't lowered the curtain yet, he came up again to help cover it tightly: "Even if this official really kills people, he will never have anything to do with Lord Lin, can Lord Lin be satisfied?" ”

Lin Ying knew that he had written this down in his heart, and even if he explained it again, it would be useless, so he straightened his body back, and while he hadn't left, he hurriedly added: "You have injuries on your body, it's better to toss less!" ”

After saying that, there was no movement outside, and after a while, the little guy who drove the car came back to talk.

Lin Ying was really bored, and when he saw him looking inside and searching for Luo Yan's appearance, he asked first: "What's going on in this situation?" Isn't there another joke in this city, so everyone rushed to join in the fun, right? ”

The people in this city are living too well, looking forward to seeing a lively situation in which house and what, and passing the daily boredom. He didn't care much about these things on weekdays, and it was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that he was very deeply affected by this trick.

The little guy's face was not very good-looking when he heard the sound, and his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he refused to confide in something unspeakable, and he couldn't say anything: "This ....... is actually ......."

Before he could make up his mind to say it, he was suddenly slapped behind him, and when he looked back, Luo Yan was standing behind him, and as soon as he spoke, a mist gushed out of his mouth: "But I can inquire clearly, what happened?" ”

The little guy Yile seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and sighed: "Childe, you are finally back!" ”

Then he turned to the side, stood on tiptoe and whispered two words in Luo Yan's ear, Luo Yan's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "What! ”

This matter seems to be becoming more and more mysterious, Lin Ying was curious, and he probably made a bad guess, looking at Luo Yan with a pair of eyes, intending to ask.

Luo Yan held a porcelain cup in his hand, and the edge of the lid was still steaming. frowned, handed it over first, and instructed: "You have a cold wind, drink this pear first." ”

Lin Ying knew that he had already hurt Luo Yan with a word, and it was not easy to refuse him at the moment, so he went down such a staircase, took three or two sips and drank it clean, and then dared to answer him in an ordinary tone: "What happened!" ”

A cup of soup entered the stomach, and the whole person warmed up. Luo Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the porcelain cup and place it, and then leaned into it again, seeing that the flow of people on the street had become a lot more relaxed, he only said: "Go back to the Lin Mansion, take the path and go around the back door!" ”

Everything was settled, he turned around and saw Lin Yingzheng staring at him with a pair of big eyes, his eyes were full of longing, and he took a long breath before finally speaking: "The case has happened again, and someone is beating the drum on your mansion to complain!" ”

"Who?"

This seemed to affirm Lin Ying's bad guess, and he suddenly became very flustered, and his two fists were clenched tightly together, acting quite nervous.

There was a violent shaking, the car was tended to move forward, Lin Ying did not sit firmly and pounced forward, Luo Yan raised his hand to help him with a worry, frowned, moved his body to his side, and said very quietly: "Yes....... what do you see!" ”

As soon as this answer came out, Lin Ying obviously didn't expect it, although he still stared at the beads of his eyes and was stunned for a moment, he didn't show any more excitement, but as if he was relieved, he hurriedly repeated: "What do you see?" ”

Luo Yan was surprised by his reaction, and didn't know whether to be worried or happy, and he didn't want to say anything more, so he just responded: "Hmm." What a see! ”

"Then plus the previous jade, either he is the real murderer!"

He lowered his head and muttered, and when he looked up after thinking for a while, he saw Luo Yanzheng looking at him with very strange eyes, and his mouth seemed to want to ask: "Weizhi ......"

Fang Cai himself was so excited, and now in this situation, he shouldn't be very indifferent. I was afraid that Luo Yan would see through my thoughts, so I hurriedly shouted to the little guy outside: "Hurry up!" ”

Luo Yan's words stuck in his throat and did not say it, seeing that he intended to cover it up, he did not continue, and sat silently, the carriage passed through the path and traveled rapidly, and when he arrived at the house, it was only a stick of incense.

The people in the city have long surrounded the streets of the front gate of the Lin Mansion, holding children, holding rice bowls and eating food, and some have their hair tied in a bun to half, and the other half is still covered with loose skin. People are scrambling to be the first to take advantage of the unprecedented event, wanting to spy on this good show of the judges, as if they have pressed all the anger of being oppressed on it every day, and are ready to vent on this case.

The carriage stopped at the small door in the backyard, and Lin Ying hurriedly got out of the car, got on the porch, and ran to the front hall. Luo Yan followed behind him, and the two of them turned to the side along the arch in front of the mansion, and they arrived at the main hall of the mansion.

This mansion was built by the previous owner, and he stayed in this office, and he didn't try the case every day, so Lin Ying closed the gate, and it was useless, so he had to be cleaned so that it didn't fall dust, and he never thought that there would be a day when it would be opened.

Two people walked out from the side, and saw that a few officials had been summoned from nowhere in the center of the hall, and the size of the yamen was for four people walking side by side.

He Jian knelt in the middle of the hall, kneeling on the cold bluestone floor on the ground through the thin shirt on his body. The floor was polished to the point of faint light, and the human wall blocked the wind vent and could barely resist it, which also made He Jian feel a lot better.

Chi Ping was sitting on top of the high hall, the word Ming Jing was hanging high in the hall, he was holding the hall with one hand, and a pair of eyes were looking at He Jian.

But he saw that he was grinning lightly, and for some reason he seemed to be very happy, and his eyes were already soaked with tears, and he didn't know if his vision was not clear, and his weak appearance stiffened, and he looked very pity.

"This official asks again, ....... person was really killed by you?"

Chi Ping's voice paused, and after he finished saying this, the tears finally couldn't hold back and flowed down his cheeks.

"Yes, sir, I've said that many times!"

He saw that his words were relaxed, as if he had just committed such a trivial matter as stealing a watermelon grown by someone else's family when he was a child!

"Then why did you kill him?"

It's been so long, Chi Ping has been waiting, and when he saw Lin Ying and the two walking in, he continued to ask.

"He took a fancy to my jade pendant and began to steal it, but when I found out, he fought with me. The three adults knew that I loved Jade as much as my life, so I killed him by mistake for a while. ”

He took advantage of this relationship to say not to make Lin Ying and the others believe it, but only for the hundreds of pairs of ears outside the door.

"Where is ........ Jade Pendant now?"

Chi Hire's appointment seemed to be really unable to hold on, and when the last sentence came out, he was fluttering and unconfident, as if the emotions that had been suppressed were finally about to break through the confinement.

Lin Ying glanced back at Luo Yan and knew that the jade pendant was on him, so he wanted to remind him not to take it out. I didn't know how to see it, but I suddenly raised my head and looked over: "I lost him when I threw his body, and then he was fished up from the moat by the adults of Shuntian Mansion." ”

When he said this, he suddenly paused, and then his voice was soft and pleading: "Lord Shangshu, that jade is equivalent to the life of He Jian, and it is really useless to you, can you return it to me." ”

Chi Ping somehow, at this moment, he suddenly couldn't help himself, covered his eyes with his hand, and then quickly went into the back hall.

There was an instant uproar outside the door, Luo Yan hurriedly pushed me, and fell on the seat, Lin Ying immediately understood what he meant, and he was shocked and shouted: "Silence!" ”
