Chapter 476: Undercurrent 2
Lin Ruo, who focused on finding clues from the purchase and sale of grain stores, caught two clues in them, and when he came back to his senses and calculated the time, half an hour had passed.
It's been so long, why hasn't Li Yan come back yet?
Not only did Li Yan not come back, but Leng Shu also had no news!
Lin Ruo felt a little uneasy in his heart: "Youcao, you go and take a look, if Brother Li comes back, please come over quickly." ”
Youcao answered, out of the courtyard, although I don't know the reason, but I also understand that my young lady is anxious, so I prepared to go to the gate of the Lin Mansion to squat, as soon as I saw Li Dashao, let the other party come over.
Lin Ruo patiently discussed with Yun Yi for a while, but he always felt that his heart couldn't calm down, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a person-that.
The palm of his hand subconsciously slapped the table, and the "bang" startled Yun Yi.
Yes, how to forget this person!
Who said that the person who came to King Rong's Mansion to find the leakage must be Murong Chong? Maybe I'm looking for her! If it was from Beiqi, it was intercepted and killed in front of the palace; If there is an accident on the Beiqi side, and Meng Jiugong can't make a plan and then make another plan, isn't that the best breakthrough?
Lin Ruo stood up with a "rub", and the whole person fell into an even more intense uneasiness, even ignoring Yun Yi's speech.
That is also an insignificant pawn, as a surrender to the Northern Army, even if he is able to mix with his eight-sided exquisiteness, but the Beiqi bloodline on his body is considered a foreign race by the Donglu soldiers after all, such a pawn, disappearing unnoticed, will not attract anyone's attention.
What's more, now that she and Murong Chong are in Bian'an, even the general of the Northern Army, He Yan, has not yet set off from the capital to return to the camp, and there are Murong Chong's people on the Northern Army's side, but they don't go back to notice the survival of a Northern Qi surrendered army; And in her case, there is only one Han Ye who has just been reused. Han Ye may notice Naye's disappearance, but even if he does, if he wants to send the news, there is no other way, unless he goes back to Pingyu County to find Shao Yan, or waits until the team that sends food and salary finds the Lin family who is accompanying him, and then he can send the news out.
What a mistake!
Lin Ruo smashed the table again, and came back to his senses in pain, only then did he hear Yun Yi's concerned inquiry. didn't have time to explain, so he directly ordered: "Yun Yi, you go back to the grain shop immediately now, and list all the ones that you don't invite, especially ...... From the buyers and sellers before and after the triumph of the prince, all the suspicious ones are listed, and I will have someone come over to pick them up tonight. ”
"Yes!"
Yun Yi responded, seeing the solemn look on Lin Ruo's face, realizing the seriousness of the matter, he didn't dare to delay more, seeing that Lin Ruo had no other instructions, he turned around and retreated, but collided with a figure who hurriedly entered the door.
"Ouch!"
"Hiss-bell, Butler Bell?"
The person who came was Zhong Ping.
"Uncle Ping?" Lin Ruo frowned, waved his hand, and let Yun Yi leave first, "What's the matter, Uncle Ping?" ”
Zhong Ping handed the ebony letterbox in his hand to Lin Ruo: "Young Miss, this is just received, and it was sent by Young Master Ji." ”
Brother Junyang, Dai Guo, Ebony Letterhead.
Sure enough, something happened over there!
Lin Ruo hurriedly took the ebony letterhead from Zhong Ping's hand, picked up the upper layer of beeswax, and took out the silk cloth in it.
The silk cloth is not big, and there are not many words on it, but after reading it, Lin Ruo's face instantly darkened: Princess Qianye, who was under house arrest in Prince Gong's mansion, the youngest and most beloved sister of the former Great Khan Miri of Beiqi, ran away.
Ji Junyang said in the letter that according to the news from the informant in Prince Gong's mansion, Princess Qianye was let go by Princess Gong Tao Xijun, and for this reason, Meng Bin was furious and put her under house arrest. But Lin Ruo's intuition was not the case.
After all, Meng Jiugong had a history of teaming up with Tang Xiao to assassinate Murong Chong, and Meng Bin did not object.
Zhong Ping asked worriedly, "Miss Shao, Miss Shao, is something wrong?" ”
Lin Ruoxian shook his hand, held the silk cloth in the palm of his hand, and put the ebony letterhead on the table: "Small matter, when Brother Li comes back, I will discuss it with him." ”
Zhong Ping's brows furrowed even deeper, and the worry on his face could not be concealed.
"Uncle Ping, the big and small things in the house, as well as the things that you take care of, and Brother Junyang's letter will be left to me to deal with. Don't worry your uncle, okay? ”
Zhong Ping hesitated, but finally nodded.
Steward Zhong left, and Lin Ruo was left alone in the room, as if out of strength, she sat down on the chair, and the silk cloth she held in her hand was spread out in front of her again.
Scimitar, extinguish.
At this time, she was at least eight points sure, sure that the person who was quietly killed at the gate of King Rong's mansion late the night before yesterday was Na Ye - the other two points were suspicious, and Bai Que deliberately misled her.
"Purple lightning!"
Lin Ruo raised his voice, and a black shadow quickly appeared in front of him, kneeling neatly on one knee, lowering his head, silently waiting for the order that was about to be given.
"Is there anything unusual around the palace these days?"
"Back to the princess's words, there is. It's just that the prince and the shadow envoy instructed not to tell the princess before finding out, so as not to worry the princess. ”
After getting this answer, Lin Ruo's brows furrowed even tighter, firstly because it proved that Bai Que was not lying, secondly because he found out that he was being concealed, and thirdly, because this matter had not yet been investigated.
"Is someone staring at the palace?"
Zidian's face showed a slight surprise, and then he replied affirmatively: "Yes." ”
"What else?"
"Back to the princess, no."
Lin Ruo bit his lip, and the shadow guard found that someone was secretly staring at the palace, but he hadn't found out that it was the people of the Nine Stars and their purpose; But he didn't find anyone outside the gate of King Rong's mansion. Is it because it is too far away from the palace to be discovered, or is it because the other party is secretive and does not leave a horse's feet?
After two rounds of thoughts, he finally spoke: "After you go back, you tell Wu Blame that among the people who are staring at the palace, there is a nine-star killer, don't startle the snake." ”
Zidian was surprised again: "How does the princess know?" After a pause, he continued to ask, "In addition to the Nine Stars, there are others?" ”
"Well, it may be from Beiqi, or it may be from Tangmen, I'm not sure, in short, give a reminder to Wu Qi, and follow ...... Remind the prince to pay attention to safety. ”
"Princess......" Zidian paused, he naturally knew that the prince and the princess had an awkward quarrel, but with his character, he didn't know how to persuade him, hesitated for a while, and said, "The prince returned to the house after the early dynasty, and after hearing that the princess went to the palace, he turned back into the palace and went to the prince's east palace to meet His Royal Highness the prince." ”
Lin Ruo pursed his mouth, still a little awkward in his heart, and blurted out: "When he enters the palace, he will enter the palace, what does it matter to me?" ”
The muscles on Zidian's face twitched slightly, and finally lowered his head and said no more. The whole palace, including the shadow envoy, felt that Princess Rong had been wronged, although he was still a shadow guard, he was already a person on Princess Rong's side, and he always had to do something to ease the misunderstanding between the prince and the princess. But he is not a person who is good at words, and such a straightforward "good word" for Murong Chong is already the best he can do.
Lin Ruo's heart was indeed a little more comfortable, but the haze that Li Yan and Leng Shu had not yet returned to the house was far deeper than the awkwardness of the youngest daughter's family in her heart.
