While waiting for Wanfu to find Zhao Lin, Ning Zheng was absentmindedly staring at the portrait of a muscular man drawn by Lin Dosi in the house, but he recalled the scene of Lin Dosi giving him medicine, thinking that he shook his head twice when he was fascinated, and suddenly there were two crisp knocks outside the door.

Ning Zheng knew that it was Zhao Lin who came, put down the portrait in his hand, and said, "Come in." ”

After speaking, the door opened, and Zhao Lin walked in and said, "The prince is looking for me?" ”

Ning Zhengdao: "Well, I came to you to tell you about the case that happened in Houshan last night." ”

Ning Zheng told Zhao Lin everything he knew about the incident, and after he finished speaking, he handed the portrait on the table to Zhao Lin, and said, "This is the murderer who ran away that night." ”

Zhao Lin took the portrait and looked at it carefully, he wanted to imprint the appearance of this person in his head, if he met him one day, he would definitely be arrested.

Ning Zhengdao: "What do you think, how do you paint?" ”

Zhao Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and said, "Is the prince asking if the painting looks like it?" ”

Zhao Lin had never seen the appearance of the murderer, how could he know if it looked like it, he didn't quite understand what Ning Zheng was asking.

Ning Zheng said: "No, it's just how do you think this painting is?" ”

Zhao Lin looked at this portrait again, although there was no color embellishment, but when he looked at this painting, he could know the appearance of the murderer.

Zhao Lin said: "Excellent, if you use this portrait to be wanted, I think that the murderer will have nowhere to hide in Zongsheng Kingdom,...... Painted by the prince? ”

The corners of Ning Zheng's mouth hooked up with a smile, and said, "It's not me, it was painted by Lin Dosi, but this person is very likely to be from Xiqiang." ”

"Xiqiang?!" Zhao Lin's tone fluctuated rarely.

Ning Zheng nodded and said, "Tomorrow, you send the portrait to the Imperial History Observatory and tell them what happened to the case, but there are two points not to mention,"

Zhao Lin looked at Ning Zheng and asked, "Which two points?" ”

Ning Zheng said: "First, don't say that he is from Xiqiang, and second, don't say Lin Dosi's name. ”

Ning Zheng said these two points, the first point Zhao Lin can still figure out, after all, since the armistice between Zong Shengguo and Xiqiang State, the emperor's attitude towards Xiqiang has always been very friendly, if the prince is involved in the case of Xiqiang again, I am afraid that the emperor will be suspicious, but this second point ......

Zhao Lin couldn't figure out why Ning Zheng didn't let Lin Dosi's name be said anyway, if she was innocent, what would the impact it would be?

Zhao Lin said: "But Lin Dosi is the key person in this case, if she really wants to solve the case, even what she says can't be fully believed." ”

Hearing this, Ning Zheng said coldly: "So you think she should also be investigated?" ”

Zhao Lin said: "Yes"

Lin Dosi was caught by Zhao Lin from Piaoxue Pavilion, at first I thought she was just an ordinary book writer, but later I found out that she was a woman disguised as a man, and Houshan, who had always been safe, happened to be murdered on the day she went, and now Ning Zheng still left her in the palace, in Zhao Lin's opinion, such a person should have been the object of thorough investigation.

Ning Zheng knew what Zhao Lin was thinking, but he still said in an irrefutable tone: "I don't want the people in the court to check her, and I don't allow you to check it privately." ”

“...... I know. Originally, Zhao Lin had just planned to go to the Drifting Snow Pavilion to find out what was going on, but he didn't want Ning Zheng to say this, even if he wanted to do it again, he had to give up.

Ning Zheng: "Okay, you go down, I will handle Lin Yusi's affairs by myself." ”

Zhao Lin: "Yes"

"Lord Wang, the slave is going to make you a cup of tea?" After Zhao Lin left, Wan Fu came in and said.

Ning Zheng: "No, prepare water for me, I want to take a bath." ”

Wanfu: "Yes"

Wanfu knew that his prince had to take a cold bath twice a day in the summer, once in the afternoon, and once before going to sleep at night, but in the past, the prince was still in the study, why did he fall asleep so soon today.

When Wanfu took two little servants to prepare the things needed for Ning Zheng to bathe, he found that Ning Zheng was no longer in the room, and after they had everything ready, Ning Zheng returned to the room with a book.

Wanfu thought secretly in his heart: "It turns out that the prince went to the study to pick up the book, but he is not afraid of getting angry when he reads this kind of book at night, hehe." ”

Everyone bowed to Ning Zheng and left, Wan Fu looked at the cold water in the bath bucket when he closed the door, as if he understood something, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Ning Zheng took off the clothes on his body and immersed himself in this cold water, even though the weather was very hot, but ordinary people would be cold and hiss constantly when they were naked in this well water, but Ning Zheng didn't even frown, and it took more than half an hour to soak.

He opened the book in his hand, "Yellow Drinking Miscellaneous Conversations", and turned to the part of the book that attracted him the most, the book reads: "This device, the index finger of the person holding the instrument moved the moon-shaped bracket, only to hear a loud noise, the person who fled to a hundred meters away, a blood hole instantly appeared on his forehead, the blood did not stop, and he fell to the ground and died." ”

Ning Zheng didn't know how many times he had read this passage, he looked at his right arm, the blood hole that was hit by the weapon that was "five inches long and as colored as ink charcoal" four years ago had already been scarred, if it weren't for the black hoof, he would have been pierced not through the arm but through the head.

Back then, he strictly ordered all those who knew not to leak this matter to the outside world, but he had been investigating this kind of weapon in private, but to no avail, and he didn't want to read such a similar thing in the book written by Lin Dosi.

Ning Zheng threw the book on the table, his palm covered his forehead, he felt that his whole head was messy, and then he simply shrank down and soaked his head into the water together.

Poplar Garden.

Zhao Lin was sitting in the room, the expression on his face was still indifferent, he had the book "Yellow Drinking Miscellaneous Talk" given to him by Ning Zheng in front of him, following Ning Zheng for many years, he knew that Ning Zheng must have some kind of intention for his book, and now Ning Zheng is so special to the author of this book, Lin Tuosi, it also makes him very curious about Lin Zuosi.

He sat still for a long time before he seemed to have finally made up his mind to reach for the book he never wanted to read in his life.

Zhao Lin picked up the pages with his knuckled fingers, slowly unfolded the book, and halfway through the exhibition, he saw two villains entangled in rags, he let go of his fingers violently, and slapped his palm on the book, saying, "It's unsightly!" After speaking, he got up and took his sword and went out to the courtyard.

Listen to the bamboo house.

Lin Yusi was about to go to bed after washing, when she heard a sound of swishing, and she hurriedly asked, "Zhu'er, what is this sound?" ”

Zhu'er also listened intently for a while, and said with a smile: "Back girl, do you think Lord Zhao is practicing swords?" ”

As soon as Lin Dusi heard that it was Zhao Lin who knocked her unconscious before and "slammed" her on the couch this morning, he said angrily: "What kind of sword do you practice at night?" Nuisance! ”

Zhu'er smiled when she heard this, but didn't dare to speak.

Lin Yusi heard this voice as if it was quite close to her room, could it be that Ning Zheng specially arranged Zhao Lin by her side to monitor herself, she asked again: "Then where does Lord Zhao live, why do you feel very close to us?"

Zhu'er said: "Lord Zhao lives in Baiyang Garden, just behind our Tingzhu Ju." ”

Lin Doo thought about it and said: Sure enough.

Zhu'er saw Lin Doosi with a displeased face, but she didn't know what to do, this Lord Zhao wants to dance with knives and guns day and night, which is something that everyone in the palace is used to, I'm afraid there are many places that will displease Lin Dosi in the future, but this Lord Zhao is not qualified to say it except for the prince.

Lin Dusi saw a trace of embarrassment on Zhu'er's face, so he smiled and said, "Okay, Zhu'er, I'll just say a few words casually, you go down to rest, I will sleep by myself." After speaking, he winked mischievously at Zhu'er.

Seeing this, Zhu'er was overjoyed and said, "Okay, that girl should rest early, and call Zhu'er if there is anything." ”

Lin Doo thought and said, "Mmmm, I know, go back and rest." ”

After Zhu'er left, Lin Dosi loosened her clothes and lay down on the bed, but the person who practiced the sword never stopped, she lay for a long time and couldn't fall asleep, she simply got up and put on her robe and walked to the window, poked her head out, it was already dark, although she couldn't see the figure clearly, but a string of flowing sword lights could be seen in the courtyard across a corridor on the right.

When I was a child, I don't know how many times I fantasized about going to the end of the world with a sword and a sword, and when I saw injustice, I drew a sword to help each other, robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Lin Dosi also remembered that she used to joke with her friends that she hoped to be born in ancient times, marry a rich and powerful man, and eat and wear without worry, but she was not favored by this man, and this man would not bother herself until he died.

I don't want to, she really came to ancient times, but unfortunately she couldn't fulfill her dream of rivers and lakes, and she couldn't fulfill her dream of a noble lady who didn't worry about food and clothing. Just when Lin Dosi secretly sighed that fate was unfair and his luck was not good, the sword light in the courtyard disappeared, and there was a sound of the sword being put into the sheath, thinking that Zhao Lin's "practice" tonight was over, Lin Dosi yawned, walked to her bed, and said, "It can be regarded as sleeping." ”

In the early morning, the genius was slightly bright, the maids and maids in the palace had not yet gotten up to work, and the crowing rooster was still asleep, but Lin Dosi was woken up by a sound of chirping, she was reluctant to open her eyes, and only hoped that she would quickly fall back asleep, but the sound of chirping was more harsh in the silent morning than at night.

Lin Dosi didn't need to guess or ask to know that it was Zhao Lin who was exercising in the morning again, she was so angry that she wanted to smash the pillow, but she couldn't touch the pillow, got up and opened her eyes, only to find that the pillow was thrown out of bed by herself at some point, she covered her ears with her hands and lay down, but no matter how she covered it, she couldn't stop the sound from entering her ears.

Kao！ Lin was extremely depressed, this Zhao Lin really got up earlier than the chicken and slept later than the dog, even if he didn't sleep, why didn't he let me sleep, this day is really sad!

Lin Yusi lay on the bed and listened to Zhao Linwai's morning practice for a full hour, and when Zhu'er came in the door, he saw her loveless and tired face, and thought that she had not slept all night.

Pearl: "Girl, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Lin Dusi said weakly, "Hmm......"

Zhu'er looked out the window, and remembered that Zhao Lin would practice in the morning every day, Lin Dosi's room was the closest to Zhao Lin's martial arts courtyard, and he must have been woken up early this morning, thinking about it, Zhu'er hesitated and said, "Girl...... Why don't you ask the prince for instructions and change your room. ”

Hearing this, Lin Dusi shook his head and said, "No, just get used to it." ”

Lin Dosi felt that arranging herself in a room close to Zhao Lin might have been deliberately done by Ning Zheng, and even if she invited a distinguished guest, she would live wherever the host arranged, how could she ask for a change of room if she was caught.
