"What's going on?" The mother-in-law who guarded the door helped Lin Yunxin, whose hands were covered with blood, into the mansion, and happened to meet General Shen and Mrs. Shen, who came to hear the news. They saw that Lin Yunxin's clothes and hair were messy, and there were a lot of blood stains on her body.

"Dad, mother." After Lin Yunxin saw the two, she loosened her heartstrings that had been tense all the way due to fear and panic, and immediately wrapped up Mrs. Shen and cried.

Mrs. Shen hugged Lin Yunxin who was trembling in distress, she didn't know what happened to Lin Yunxin, but she must have suffered a lot, Mrs. Shen's face was full of anxiety, but she didn't dare to ask more.

"Xin'er!" Lin Yunxin fainted while crying, and Mrs. Shen screamed. General Shen immediately picked up Lin Wanxin, strode to Wanyuan, and put her on her bed.

"Miss! What's going on? Green was also frightened when she saw Lin Yunxin's situation.

"Ask someone to boil some hot water, and you can help Xin'er clean it up and see if there are any injuries on her body. After cleaning up, ask the doctor to come and probe her pulse. I went to the front room to ask what was going on. Xin'er woke up and found someone to come and inform me. General Shen said to Mrs. Shen, who was still stunned and at a loss.

"Okay." Mrs. Shen choked up and replied.

General Shen shook Mrs. Shen's hand comfortingly, turned around and went out.

Mrs. Shen instructed Luyi to boil hot water. When they cleaned Lin Wanxin's body, Lin Wanxi was still in a coma. But fortunately, Mrs. Shen and the others did not find any wounds on Lin Yunxin's body, but there were one or two light bruises on her body, which were not serious. The doctor came to check her pulse and didn't see anything unusual about her body, so they let go of their hearts.

After everything was sorted out, Lin Yunxin hadn't woken up yet, and the doctor said that it was because she was overly frightened and her spirit was in a state of tension for a long time, and she would become like this when she relaxed, but in fact, she was just asleep. So Mrs. Shen asked her subordinates to prepare Dingjing soup for Lin Yunxin, and went to the front hall. She also wanted to know what happened to Lin Wanxin.

In the front hall, General Shen sat on the main seat, his face serious and deep. After the coachman Uncle Wu's arm was bandaged, he walked in with the help of the little guy.

"Your arm doesn't matter, does it?" General Shen saw that it was a little difficult for Uncle Wu to raise his hand, so he asked with concern. The coachman he sent to Lin Yunxin was a soldier who had fought with him before, and his kung fu was quite good, so he was asked to be her coachman in order to protect Lin Yunxin's personal safety. Uncle Wu can be injured like this, then the other party must be very powerful, or there is more than one person, so who are they?

"Thank you, General, I don't care, it's just a skin injury." Uncle Wu said. He can still bear this injury, and the most important thing now is to find out who is going to be bad for Miss Wanxin.

"On our way back, we were passing through a sparsely poplar bush when suddenly a dozen masked men in black emerged from the woods. The person who took the lead also said that the target was Miss Wanxin in the car. It was clear that they had been instructed to ambush there a long time ago. The arm was still aching faintly, Uncle Wu gasped, and continued, "There are more of them, I can't handle it alone, a man in black stabbed at Miss Wanxin, Hongyan was in front of her in order to save Miss, and was stabbed in the abdomen. Pineapple was also stabbed in the throat in the confusion. Every move and style of the man in black is asking for Miss Wanxin's life. But when they heard that other carriages were coming from a distance, they all ran away. Uncle Wu described in detail what he encountered today.

"So these men were commanded." General Shen's face darkened even more, and his hand habitually knocked on the handle of the chair, "Can you see where these people belong to?" ”

"I think they're supposed to be from the Dark Chamber. I ripped it from a man in black, you see, General. Uncle Wu took out the turban he had ripped off from a man in black before leaving, and wanted to get up and hand it to General Shen, but the personal servant next to General Shen hurriedly went over and took it. On the back of the turban is the emblem of the Dark Chamber, which was used to identify them after their deaths. ”

"Who is so ruthless about Xin'er's life?" General Shen asked suspiciously. General Shen turned over the back of the headscarf, there was indeed a special pattern on it as Uncle Wu said, Xin'er was just a deep boudoir lady, she was usually very gentle and polite to people, she had never heard that she had offended anyone, how could someone hate her so much that they wanted to take her life?

"Sir." Steward Ma walked in, followed by King Ning with an anxious face, "King Ning is here." ”

King Ning walked out from behind Steward Ma, his face was cold and awe-inspiring, and his thin lips were tightly closed.

"King Ning." General Shen stood up and was about to bend down to salute, when King Ning stepped forward and helped him with his hand.

"You've heard everything?" General Shen was surprised by King Ning's speed.

"I want to see Xin'er, is she okay now? Are there any injuries? Is it to be frightened by the death? King Ning nodded, speaking a little hurriedly.

"She's fine, not hurt. You don't have to go over to see her, because Xin'er is already asleep. Mrs. Shen, who had come from the garden just now, walked in.

King Ning was silent for a moment, "Okay, I want to know what is going on, and now do you know who instigated this?" So saying, he walked over to the main seat and sat down.

When General Shen saw King Ning sit down, he and Mrs. Shen also sat down under King Ning, and explained what Uncle Wu had just said to King Ning again, and then handed the turban he had just gotten to King Ning and said, "This was ripped off from a man in black." The logo on the top is unique to the Dark Pavilion, and I think someone went to the Dark Pavilion to make a deal and give them money, and they killed someone. ”

"Check it out now!" King Ning instructed Ning Jian, the shadow guard beside him.

"Yes!" Ning Jian was ordered to exit the door, and a dodge disappeared. Although General Shen was used to it, he would still be surprised by the extraordinary skills of King Ning's men. However, with King Ning's move, things will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Other than that, did those men in black say anything?" King Ning asked Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu thought for a while and said, "The man in black who took the lead said, 'You must take the lives of the people in the car', but in the end they didn't complete the task, and they left. I didn't say much else. ”

"According to you, they left because they heard someone coming over in the middle?" King Ning asked, and Uncle Wu nodded.

"The Dark Pavilion has a very high reputation in their field, and the reason for this is that they will do whatever it takes to fulfill the customer's request, even if someone is coming over in the middle of the process, I have never heard of them giving up for this reason. There's something strange about their behavior. King Ning paused and continued, "However, let's not explore their actions first, and the most important thing now is to find out who is behind the scenes. We need to know who is going to be bad for Xin'er. ”

General Shen and Madame Shen also agreed with King Ning's statement.

"However, how did those men in black know that Xin'er would pass through that poplar forest today? They must have gotten the news in advance, otherwise how could they have been ambushed there beforehand? Mrs. Shen voiced the question in her heart.

"Butler, you call all the people in Xin'er's courtyard over, interrogate them one by one, and see if they have anything abnormal, or what abnormal people you see? And ask them if anyone has been to them recently to inquire about Xin'er? General Shen came over in surprise and instructed Steward Ma.

Mrs. Shen also instructed Mama Zhu to send someone to the garden to serve Lin Wanxin.

"General, it's not me." Uncle Wu hurriedly expressed his loyalty after listening to General Shen's words, he was afraid that the general would suspect him, because he was also very aware of Lin Wanxin's whereabouts.

"I know." General Shen gave him a reassuring look, General Shen was very confident in the people he personally selected, and he had always been unsuspicious in employing people.

Steward Ma took the order, took the little servant to the garden, and brought all the people in the garden to the front hall.

"Now the lord wants to ask you. You'd better be honest and truthful, if I find out that you are lying a little, I will definitely make you unable to eat and walk around. Steward Ma said to them sternly, and then turned to General Shen respectfully and said, "Master, it's okay." ”

"I ask you, have you noticed anything unusual around the garden these days, or if there are strange people? Has anyone asked you about your young lady's whereabouts? Did any of you betray your young lady? General Shen's fierce eyes swept over the people and said sharply.

The people all shuddered, and they all shook their heads and said, "No! There was only one maid's eyes twinkling uneasily.

"You!" King Ning pointed at the maid and shouted.

The maid "puffed", her feet collapsed to the ground, and Steward Ma asked her to pull her out and drag her in front of King Ning and General Shen.

"Say!" General Shen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharpness was compelling.

"It's not me, it's not me." The maid waved her hand again and again, trembling all over.

Neither General Shen nor King Ning spoke, just stared at her with sharp eyes.

The maid's body trembled again, and she pretended to be calm and said: "Just a few days ago, the slave maid had dinner with the second lady's eldest maid Ali, and Ali told the slave maid that their young lady felt a little bored in the house all day and wanted to go out to play, but the second lady just returned to Beijing and didn't know what was fun. asked Ali to give her ideas, and Ali hadn't been out much, so Ali came to ask the slave maid Miss Wanxin what she usually did and what activities she did. The slave and the maid told her everything. ”

"Lord spare your life, Mrs. spare your life! The slave didn't mean it. The maid hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Did you tell her that your young lady was going to Hongling Temple today?" General Shen asked.

"Hmm." The maid nodded, "The slave usually has a good relationship with her, so she is not guarded." The slave thought it wasn't Ali's business. Ali just wanted to help her young lady refer to the places to go out. ”

"Drag her down and lock her up in the firewood room first." General Shen ordered the horse steward.

"The lord spared his life, the slave didn't mean it. My lord spares his life! The maid whimpered in fear, and her voice was a little choppy.

"I don't care if you did it on purpose or not, your actions have already caused harm to your young lady. I won't let you out until the matter is clear. Take it down! General Shen said with a blushing face.

Steward Ma asked the maid who was struggling and full of tears to take down.

"Go and bring the second lady here!" General Shen said to Steward Ma again. It's obvious that there is a conspiracy to let his personal maid inquire about Lin Wanxin's whereabouts?

Steward Ma went out in response.

After listening to the maid's words, King Ning's face turned pale, and he clenched his fists, forcibly enduring the anger in his heart. He had heard that Shen Yafei had been sent out of the capital more than ten years ago because he wanted Lin Wanxin's life, and he had only heard about it at that time, but he had not seen it with his own eyes. He thought that she was just young and impulsive, but when he encountered this today, he really believed it, but he didn't expect Shen Yafei to be so vicious. When he was young, he even thought she was cute! If this wasn't in the Shen Mansion, he would really go over directly and ask Shen Yafei why he did this?

At this time, Shen Yi came in with a small servant, "King Ning, master, this is the third son, who is doing chores in the mansion, he said that this morning, he saw the Zhiyu of the Summer Palace sneakily looking out at the door. ”

The third son got the approval of General Shen's eyes, and slowly spoke: "This morning, not long ago, the slave saw Zhiyu hurriedly walking to the gate, pacing back and forth twice, and then left. Soon after she left, the servant saw Miss Wanxin, whose hands were covered in blood, being helped in by Mama. The minion didn't know if that Zhiyu had anything to do with this matter, and the minion just thought that her behavior was quite strange at that time. ”

"Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" General Shen asked.

"Of course, because of the previous kitchen incident, the minion was very impressed with her, so the minion was very sure that it was her." Xiao Sanzi's tone was very affirmative.

"Smack~" General Shen angrily slapped the coffee table next to him, and the coffee table cracked and scattered to the ground. Xiao Sanzi's words confirmed the thoughts in the hearts of the three of them, and now there is no need to send Shen Yafei over to confront them, they will have a conclusion in their hearts.

The subordinates behind him hurriedly came over to clean up the coffee table and the broken teacups.

"Second Miss has arrived." Steward Ma came in and said.

Shen Yafei knew that there would be trouble today when Steward Ma went to the Summer Palace to pass on her. Because at that time, although Steward Ma's attitude was still as respectful as before, there was obvious disgust in his eyes.

Before she arrived in the front hall, she had already figured out how to deal with General Shen and Mrs. Shen, but when she entered the hall, she found that King Ning was also there. She knew that things were far more difficult than she had imagined, and that it might not be so easy to get out of today.

Shen Yafei strode into the front hall with her head held high, bowed to the three of them and said hello, no one asked her to sit down, Shen Yafei stood still.

"Do you know about Xin'er today?" General Shen was annoyed when he saw her look indifferent, and he tried his best to suppress his anger to make his voice sound calmer.

"I heard!" Shen Yafei said honestly.

"And what do you have to say?" General Shen's face turned blue again, and his chest rose and fell unsteadily.

Shen Yafei felt very ridiculous after hearing this, and laughed out loud, and said in a tentative tone: "The security in the capital is not good, so don't go out in the future?" Do you want to bring more people even when you go out? ”

With an oily and smooth look, General Shen's face turned blue.

"Miss Shen is really clever and funny." King Ning, who had been sitting on the side, couldn't help but speak, although the words were in the form of a joke, Shen Yafei keenly heard the coldness in his tone.

"King Ning has won the prize!" Shen Yafei still looks like she is flowing freely.

King Ning was also angered by her attitude, and didn't want to go around in circles with her anymore, so he went straight to the point and said: "Some people said that the maid in your Summer Palace was inquiring about Xin'er's whereabouts two days ago, and today someone saw your personal maid sneaking around at the door, and when he saw Xin'er coming back from injury, he left." Do you have anything to explain about this? ”

"I don't admit it in the front, I admit it in the back." Shen Yafei said calmly.

King Ning and General Shen looked at her inexplicably.

Shen Yafei continued: "I have never sent anyone to inquire about Miss Lin's whereabouts, so I don't admit this matter. Zhiyu did leave after seeing Miss Lin at the door, I admit it. However, I can explain that Zhiyu just went to the door to help me see if there was any letter today, but after seeing that Miss Lin was injured, she rushed back to report to me in fear. ”

"Strong words!" King Ning was by her cheekiness.

Mrs. Shen also felt that she was going to get to know Shen Yafei again, and she also felt very strange to Shen Yafei in front of her, and the strangeness made her feel terrible.

Shen Yafei sneered, "When you ask me, I just answer truthfully, why do you want to be reasonable?" I replied with strong words, and if I didn't answer, I said I was hiding it. If you are not satisfied with my answer, why do you bother to ask me again! ”

"You ······" General Shen almost jumped to his feet.

"Lord Wang." Ning Jian came in from outside and interrupted General Shen. Behind him was a man of the same strong build, who dragged a middle-aged man with a fat mouth stuffed with a black cloth belt and a face swollen like a pig's head, like dragging a wild boar that had just been hunted from the mountains, without pity. The corners of Shen Yafei's mouth twitched, and it seemed that she must have been beaten up a lot.

With a "bump", the man threw the fat middle-aged man to the ground, landed on his back, and bounced his body on the ground.

"Lord Wang, the people in the dark pavilion were not found, but they found this person, and this person said that he saw a middle-aged woman dressed as a subordinate in the casino in Nancheng a few days ago enter the dark pavilion." It was Ning Jian who spoke.

"Do you remember what it looked like?" King Ning asked sternly.

The fat middle-aged man nodded busily, "Remember." ”

"Miss Shen doesn't mind sending someone from your yard to ask questions, right?" King Ning asked.

Without waiting for Shen Yafei's answer, he asked Ning Jian to arrest someone, and Steward Ma followed closely with the little servant. Shen Yafei knew that the woman the middle-aged man knew was Mama Hu, but she couldn't stop them from recognizing people. Only by seeing one step at a time, and seeing that these people are talking to her so leisurely, can she know that Lin Wanxin's situation is not serious. And she also knew about Lin Wanxin's situation from Zhiyu, so she didn't have to panic. Besides, I didn't do it, what are you afraid of. Shen Yafei silently cheered herself up in her heart, and her mind became more calm and calm.
