"They? So the other party has a lot of manpower, and the kung fu is good, but what is the purpose of the other party? "Lin Mei is confused, if it is for money, the Lin family's financial and material resources are not enough to make people spend so much effort and price; But if you offend anyone, you will be retaliated against?! When they first arrived in Luoyang, they did offend some of their peers, but in terms of their strength, if they really had such a big force, they would have retaliated a long time ago, so why wait for Hongxinglou to develop before they do it.

"The people in the dark pile heard that they seemed to be looking for something, what is there in the Lin family that is worth thinking about?" Qi Niang asked tentatively.

Lin Mei's heart tightened, could it be related to Yu Pei? But he flatly denied it: "The ancestors of the Lin family have been in a flat coat for three generations, what can there be, could it be a mistake?" ”

"I started my mission at the age of twelve, and I have never been so seriously injured, those people will definitely not give up, the master should go back and confirm with the master." Qi Niang said while staring at her with her eyes.

Lin Mei took Qi Niang's hand and said: "This time I really made you suffer, but I always feel that something is wrong, you think about it again, at that time, the woman tricked us into the carriage, and also fascinated us, if there is really something in the Lin family that makes people worry, why not just exchange the two of us, just send someone to keep an eye on?" ”

Qi Niang is a smart person, hearing her say this, she immediately reacted, frowned, and deduced the news she got again, which is indeed full of loopholes, which makes people puzzled.

"But the master hasn't offended anyone in Chang'an, how can it be so coincidental? The master was not only taken away, but also fell to a place like Yixiang Pavilion, and someone in the Lin family kept staring at it. I had thought that this matter had something to do with my master, so I planned to find a corpse and divert the attention of those people, but now it seems to be self-defeating. ”

Lin Mei moved, saw that the tea cup on the table was empty, and asked, "Otherwise, you should move home, you are here alone, and no one takes care of you, I really don't feel at ease." ”

Speaking of this, his heart suddenly moved, and he thought: "I heard that you also got a stand-in, or help me find one, we are in the light, they are in the dark, in case they have any bad ideas, so the trick is repeated, and it is not us who suffers." ”

"Stand-in?" Qi Niang slapped it violently and shouted: "This method is good, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, or we can lead the snake out of the hole directly, and we can always find out what they want." ”

Lin Mei was silent when she heard this, thought about it again, and felt that this idea was feasible, but she was still a little uneasy: "It's better to investigate the situation of the enemy as soon as possible, otherwise we will act too passively, the Lin family is old and old, and the young are small, we can't gamble with their lives." ”

"Don't worry, master, the person who is in the dark pile already has clues about the thief's mother-in-law, maybe there will be news in two days." Qi Niang actually wanted to tell him that the people who were staring at the Lin family had something to do with the king, but King Qi ordered that he couldn't tell her about it, and he was conflicted and guilty in his heart.

"Found the thief? Where are the people now? Lin Mei clenched her fists, and her heart was churning like a wave.

Qi Niangqiang smiled: "The thief took away the silver on our body, and even the valuable hairpins were taken away, thinking that the sky had a windfall, and he went back to show off his wealth with his son with the silver, but his son who was a loser was not angry, and stole the silver to gamble, and the thief began to think that the family was a thief, so he went to the county government to report to the official, but he couldn't tell the origin of the silver taels, and was found out by the people who were secretly staked. I think it will soon be clear who designed to capture us. ”

"That's good, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, sooner or later we will vent our evil anger." Lin Mei quickly calmed down and said calmly.

……

After a few more days, the first snow fell in the sky, a white layer of snow accumulated on the roof, and the pedestrians on the road were not as good as before, Shanzi had returned to the academy, Father Lin was also recovering, and the Lin family was back to the same as before, calm with some boredom.

"Miss, my wife has gone out to meet friends again, should we send someone to keep an eye on it." Sixi eagerly replied.

Lin Mei listened, pondered for a while, and said: "I have my own arrangements for this matter, you can tell me again, did the fourth sister like to run into my house before, but what has she ever touched?" ”

"Mrs. has always disliked the fourth miss to be close to us, so I don't like to let her come to the backyard, but somehow, until the days when the eldest lady was away, my wife seemed to have changed as if she was a different person, and when there was nothing to do, she took the fourth miss to the backyard to play, and I didn't pay attention to it at first. But once, the fourth lady accidentally knocked over the makeup box, and was looked at by the slave maid, and when counting, there was a jade pendant missing from the makeup box, and I asked my wife, but my wife refused to admit it. At first I thought it was my wife's greed, but after that time, I had an eye for it and locked everything valuable in the house into a cupboard. But the wife still took Miss Four to the backyard to play, and often teased Miss Four, saying that the eldest lady was playing hide and seek with her, and instigated Miss Four to come to the house to find someone. But later the "Miss" was deceased, and the wife relied on this reason to count the things in the eldest lady's room, but the slave had no choice but to open the cabinet, and the wife counted it, but returned the things to the slave and maid, and the slave didn't know what medicine was buried in the wife's gourd, so she let go of such a good opportunity in vain. The more Sixi spoke, the more excited he became.

Lin Mei frowned and thought: Just missing a jade pendant, did she know something? Or is it being used to find the jade pendant?

Jade pendant? Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved: "I remember that when I came back, there was a jade pendant in the purse, you can find it." ”

So Sixi moved to the front of the cabinet, and the things were kept by her, and it was not difficult to find them, so she quickly turned them out: "Miss, is this one?" ”

Lin Mei's eyes lit up, and she was glad that she didn't lose it at the time, "Yes, it's this, you listen carefully, and when your wife comes back in a while, you will take the opportunity to reveal this jade pendant to her intentionally or unintentionally in front of her, and then sneakily find a place to bury it." ”

Sixi was surprised and puzzled: "Miss, what is this?" Isn't this a meat bun beating a dog with no return? ”

"We've been sending people to keep an eye on my wife before, I'm afraid that she has noticed it, and if we put some bait, it will be difficult to hook out the people behind her."

Sixi was at a loss, "Miss, I'm afraid of what if, what if my wife is not fooled?" Besides, this jade pendant is a valuable commodity at a glance, if it is accidentally picked up by others, aren't we losing money and making it self-defeating? ”

"You don't need to worry about this, anyway, I got this jade pendant by accident, and we just used it for fishing."

Hearing that the money was not spent, Sixi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still very distressed, after all, it was a valuable commodity, and if he took it away, it would be worth a thousand gold. But who made her the master, the master had an order, and she had to obey, and she couldn't help but wrap it gently with a handkerchief.
