Chapter 224: Anonymous Letter
That night, Zhou Man'er sent Lin Huiru home in her own carriage, and as the weather became warmer and warmer, the days became longer and longer.
It's almost time for dinner, it's not dark yet, Lin Huiru entered the door with her arms crossed, but suddenly noticed something the moment she entered the door, she stopped her steps and turned her head to look, and couldn't help but be surprised.
The door of her house is made of wood, and at the moment a dagger is deeply embedded in it, and there is a note in front of the dagger, which is very similar to those killers in the TV series, giving people the feeling of posting.
The dagger was inserted very deeply, Lin Huiru tried her best to kick the door with her foot in the end to pull out the dagger, she wrapped the dagger in a handkerchief, sealed it a few times before throwing it into the trash can in her room, and then unfolded the tattered letter that had been punctured.
The contents of the letter made her frown.
It's a simple sentence, but it's terrifying.
'If you participate in the imperial examination, don't want to leave any of the five people in your family alive. ’
What a bold threat letter! Lin Huiru looked at the letter in reverse again, but this person didn't seem to have the courage to leave a signature, only such a monotonous sentence.
It seems that the purpose of the people behind this is very simple, and it is also to make Xu Ziqiao unable to participate in the imperial examination, Wu Zhicheng's matter two days ago has now been resolved, and I heard that he can only go home and take his younger brothers and sisters to farm.
But who can dare to threaten Xu Ziqiao on the cusp of this storm? is so immeasurable, I don't know how thick the sky is, it's really commendable.
Lin Huiru didn't know everyone in Xu Ziqiao's school, but she vaguely remembered that this Wu Zhicheng also had a close friend named Wang Pan.
Is this a drama that threatens others in order to avenge his brother?
Lin Huiru refolded the paper and deposited, in her jewelry table, it was not a few days before Xu Ziqiao's imperial examination, and she had only survived for less than a month, she didn't want to bring any trouble to Xu Ziqiao at this critical juncture, with Xu Ziqiao's sensitive heart, I was afraid that she might really do it in desperation.
But now there was only a note here, and there were no other clues at all, but the one who could stick this dagger into the door in one breath must be a man, or a man with great strength.
But what Lin Huiru couldn't figure out, she still had so many dogs at home, and even Qi Hehua was at home all day today, so it was impossible not to pay attention to anything when she got home.
If it weren't for the lack of electricity here, she really wanted to install a monitor in front of her house to see how many people were idle and had nothing to do to find her these days.
After thinking about it left and right and had no conclusion, Lin Huiru went to ask Qi Lotus again, "Mother, did you hear any strange movements today, such as a bang." ”
But Qi Lotus was confused, and Lin Hui really couldn't imagine how to describe the sound of a knife stuck into the wood.
"No, I've been doing things at home all day, if there's any movement, aren't they going out to chase people out for half a mile?" Qi Lotus Flower Road.
Lin Huiru nodded, then it would be strange to calculate it like this.
The gap on it was indeed the width and narrowness of the dagger, just enough to prove that it was not a casual dagger inserted into the slit. Dishopelessly, she went to the house of a few more neighbors and asked several times if she had seen anyone behaving strangely at her house. If the neighbor asked for anything, she just said that something was missing.
But the results were that no one saw that there was no suspicious person appearing, Lin Huiru was puzzled, could it be hell, right?
Until dinner in the evening, Lin Huiru also sat there without thinking about it, thinking about how this kind of thing could be done.
"What's the matter, you seem to be worried today, what's the matter?" At the dinner table, Xu Ziqiao endured and didn't ask, but he was afraid that Qi Hehua would be worried, but as soon as he returned to the house, Xu Ziqiao came over with great concern, he really didn't want Lin Huiru to bear too much for a girl.
How could Lin Huiru tell Xu Ziqiao about this? Just shook his head and slapped his shoulder, "It's okay, I'm just tired lately, let's rest early." ”
"You go to sleep first, I'm getting closer and closer to the day of the imperial examination now. In order to be able to get the champion this year, I have to look at some numbers, even if I am not included by Mr., but which gentleman can say so accurately in the exam every year? Xu Ziqiao's eyes revealed firmness, seeing that his posture was not to give up if he didn't get the champion this year.
Xu Ziqiao is talented, Lin Huiru was the first to discover this matter, he has an excellent brain, understanding ability and fast endorsement, in ancient times, this kind of subject, which is basically Chinese, is simply invincible.
"Forget it, I can't sleep with the light on anyway, so I might as well read a book and accompany you for a while." Lin Huiru has something in his heart, how can he fall asleep.
In this way, the light in the room of the two people was on until late at night, and Xu Ziqiao just went to bed to prepare for sleep after reading the books he needed to review, and found that Lin Huiru was already lying on the bed, not knowing when he fell asleep, and the book in his hand had only turned a few pages.
In desperation, Xu Ziqiao smiled dotingly, and then the roots of her ears were slightly red, and she untied her wide clothes with her own hands, hugged her inside the bed, and she also blew the lamp on the bed and hugged her own lady.
When Lin Huiru woke up the next day, she was still a little dazed, yesterday's events, she fell asleep thinking about it, and there was no progress until now, even if she was walking on the way to pick up the goods, she had been thinking about it while walking.
Before I knew it, two people seemed to follow.
After getting the jade from Huang Yue, because the jade was scattered, it was too much and heavy to pick up, and when Huang Yue was not there, Lin Huiru threw the jade into the space, and went out with an empty box by himself.
When the two shadows saw her come out, they followed. They followed all the way, and Lin Huiru didn't notice it.
In addition, today is still the day when Zhou Man'er is open for business, Lin Huiru seems to have finished when he arrives, and there are many women standing there in front of the cannon gate to line up and look, and the bustling business in this store seems to be very prosperous.
Seeing this, Lin Huiru didn't bother, thinking about waiting for noon to have a meal with Zhou Man'er as a celebration.
When she got to the shop, the two people who followed her also pinched the time, and came in one after the other to find a place and sit down.
