Chapter 250: Showing the Horse's Feet
Lu Yue shook her head and said: "We have already scared the snake tonight, I am afraid that they will already seal the secret passage at this time, and then the lawsuit will not be successful, but we will all go to prison, and besides, we don't know what kind of person Governor Zhao is, whether he is an enemy or a friend, so if we sue Lin Zhiwen like this, we will be a dead end at that time." ”
"......" Zhu Qing was silent.
"Yes, this matter should not be rushed, but should be considered in the long run." Divine Doctor Zhu also nodded in agreement with Lu Yue's statement.
A few people said a few more words, and Lu Yue thought that it was not too early, so she asked everyone to go back to rest.
--------
On the other end, Lin Zhifu was followed by Master Zhang, and a string of guards, he stepped into the courtyard with his feet raised, waved his hand, and let everyone disperse.
Lin Zhiwen walked towards his study, thinking about the fire just now, the west side of the city is their family's ancestral house, which also has the tablet of their ancestors, and also built an ancestral hall to worship immortals.
But what people didn't expect was that today's incense burner fell for some reason and lit the table, which caused a fire.
But I don't know why, Lin Zhiwen always feels that tonight's fire is a bit strange.
He pushed open the study and walked in, just into the chair. His gaze suddenly became cold, and one of the stacks of books on the table moved a little away, and someone moved the things on his desk.
Thinking of a possibility, Lin Zhiwen's face became very ugly in the candlelight.
At that moment, there was a banging on the door.
"Come in~" Lin Zhiwen suppressed the anger in his heart, and his voice was cold.
A man in black hurriedly came in from outside, and the man in black saluted Lin Zhiwen, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, tonight... Someone broke into the secret passage~" The man in black couldn't help but lower his voice at the end.
"What did you say?" Lin Zhiwen's voice was like squeezing out between his teeth, and his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, with a quiet smell before the storm.
The man in black was so frightened that he "pounced" and knelt on the ground, "Big... My lord, spare my life~"
"What about people?" Lin Zhiwen gritted his teeth and said.
“... Escape... Escaped~" The man in black was terrified.
Lin Zhiwen was furious, and swept the things on the table to the ground, and the room remembered the sound of crackling.
The man in black was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't hide.
"A bunch of waste~" Lin Zhiwen was so angry that he scolded loudly, and his eyes couldn't wait to step forward and scrape people alive.
The man in black trembled with fright and did not dare to speak.
"Waste, don't go find it soon~" Lin Zhiwen stepped forward and kicked the man in black with a few steps and almost fell to the ground, "Yes, yes~"
The man in black quickly got up a few times, and the whole person jumped up and ran out, almost like some evil ghost chasing after him.
The door behind him slammed shut, and there was a crackling sound of smashing things inside, as well as the sound of Lin Zhiwen roaring and scolding.
The man in black panicked when he heard this, and quickly ran to find someone.
On the second day, Lu Yue, as before, followed Doctor Zhu and Zhu Qing to the camp in the north of the city, where they rescued those patients who were infected with the epidemic.
I don't know if it's Lu Yue's heart, in the morning, she always feels that the atmosphere in this camp is not very relaxed, from time to time there are soldiers who come to check, and some guards also come to patrol, that looks sneaky, is it for last night's incident?
"What do you see? Don't call you back for a long time? Lu Yue was carrying a basket of herbs and looked at the distance fixedly.
Lu Yue looked back, glanced at Zhu Qing, and did not speak. Zhu Qing glanced at Lu Yue with a meaningful look in his eyes, leaned over and said, "I heard that someone set fire to the ancestral hall of Governor Lin's house last night~"
Lu Yue glanced at Zhu Qing, ignored Zhu Qing anymore, and walked away with the basket on his shoulder.
"Senior brother, junior brother, you wait for me~" Zhu Qing opened his mouth and hurriedly ran.
Zhu Qing chased him all the way to the tent, and then caught up with Lu Yue, and was about to speak, but saw Lu Yue's waving hand and signaled him to shut up.
Only then did Zhu Qing hear a voice coming from inside the tent.
Someone was talking to the master, and soon the man walked out, wearing a soldier's clothes, and as soon as the man left, Lu Yue and Li Hu quickly ran in.
"Master?" Lu Yue couldn't help but shout.
"It's okay, they just came to spread the word, saying that Lord Zhao invited everyone to gather in the evening." Doctor Zhu said lightly.
Lu Yuexin just put it down, and listened to Doctor Zhu again: "By the way, the two of you are also going~"
"Ah~" Zhu Qing couldn't help but be slightly surprised, his eyes stared at Divine Doctor Zhu suspiciously, and even Lu Yue stared at Divine Doctor Zhu in surprise.
As a result, Doctor Zhu also waved his hand helplessly, indicating that he didn't know why he wanted to invite Lu Yue and him.
"But don't worry, just go for a meal, don't talk nonsense in front of people~" Doctor Zhu pointed his finger at the two of them.
Lu Yue and Zhu Qing glanced at each other and nodded.
Soon it was evening, and the three of them packed up, changed into clean robes, and went to Lord Zhao's house.
said that it was Lord Zhao's house, but it was a not too big yard, and Lin Zhiwen had been pretending to change Zhao Wenlong's yard before, but after Zhao Wenlong resigned a few times, Lin Zhiwen had to reluctantly give up.
When Doctor Zhu arrived with Lu Yue and Zhu Qing, there were already a lot of people sitting on the desk in the courtyard, all of them were doctors, and they all quickly stood up to greet Doctor Zhu.
The position of the three of them happened to be very close to Zhao Wenlong's position, and when Lu Yue saw Doctor Zhu sitting down, he also pulled Zhu Qing and quickly sat down.
At this time, Zhao Wenlong walked out of the corridor with people, and his gaze softened a lot towards everyone, "I didn't expect you all to arrive, it's really rude~"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately stood up after reacting, and said in their mouths: "There, there~ Your Excellency is polite." ”
After humbling each other several times, everyone sat down, and Lu Yue said in her heart: What a group of sour Confucian scholars.
Soon, there were all the same little servants serving dishes with plates, all of which were coarse tea and light rice, which they often ate, and it was not too expensive.
"I invite you here today to thank everyone and ..... for the people of Huaibei City" A large number of words of thanks made Lu Yue's ears almost cocooned.
Only then did I hear that Zhao Wenlong opened his mouth to tell everyone not to be polite and eat to their heart's content, so Lu Yue picked up a piece of hot and sour cabbage with chopsticks, ate a few bites, and found that the taste was average.
She moved on to the other dishes, and found that the dishes tasted average, so she gave up.
Then Zhao Wenlong turned his head and talked to Doctor Zhu again, his kind eyes stared at Doctor Zhu, chattering, and said a few words, all of which were inseparable from the plague.
Lu Yue was holding the teacup, seemingly sipping the tea in the cup slowly, but the corner of her eyes was quietly looking at Zhao Wenlong above.
Speaking of this person, his face is decent, his eyes reveal a firm majesty, and occasionally he becomes soft, his eyebrows are very thick, he values love and righteousness, and he looks like a person who punishes evil.
He spoke with a clear eye and listened with great sincerity.
Is this Zhao Wenlong worth believing?
During the banquet, everyone was replacing wine with tea, drinking happily, and suddenly there was a huge movement at the door, and everyone was so shocked that they didn't move for a long time.
Soon the person who broke in appeared in front of everyone, and the atmosphere became a little dull by the way.
Lin Zhiwen held a string of Bodhi beads in his hand, stepped forward a few steps forward and saluted Zhao Wenlong with a smile: "Lord Zhao, the lower officials just heard that you were feasting here, so they came uninvited, and asked your lord to forgive me~"
This man has broken in, what else is there to say? As the saying goes, if you don't hit a smiling person, Zhao Wenlong gave him a look, and immediately a little servant stepped forward to set up a table and food for Lin Zhiwen.
"Lord Lin doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat~" Zhao Wenlong immediately stretched out his hand to invite Lin Zhiwen to sit down.
"Lord Xie~" Lin Zhiwen smiled at the corner of his mouth and sat down.
Zhao Wenlong covered the teacup with his hand, and said in a cold tone: "I heard that Lord Lin went to check on the person who set fire to your ancestral hall last night, dare to ask Lord Lin who did it?" ”
In an instant, the entire banquet fell silent, without a single sound.
Everyone hung their heads, but their ears couldn't wait to be pricked up, listening to this matter that had spread throughout Huaibei City, who had the courage to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth.
Lin Zhiwen swept around the people around him fiercely, and sneered: "Lord Xie Zhao cares, and the real culprit has not been found for the time being, but don't let me find it, otherwise I will have to pull out his skin~"
Lin Zhiwen gritted his teeth a little in the end, a trace of cruelty flashed on his face, and everyone sat down in an instant, quietly wanting to disappear on the spot.
Lu Yue was also shocked by the hatred in Lin Zhiwen's voice just now, and his hand trembled slightly, but at this time, his arm was firmly grasped by Zhu Qing and pressed under the table.
When Lu Yue's head stopped shaking, he let go, and withdrew his hand as if unconsciously.
"Hey, Lord Lin extinguishes the fire~" Zhao Wenlong only said such cruel words when Lin Zhiwen was angry.
With a look, he immediately had a servant pour tea for Lin Zhiwen, but was stopped by Lin Zhiwen, "Lord Zhao just came, because the plague in Huaibei City is getting worse and worse, and he didn't pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Zhao, and there are no good things in my house, only a few jars of wine buried on the ground, so I should give it to my lord, come here, bring it up~"
As soon as Lin Zhiwen's words fell, a few servants brought in the wine from the tray.
The corners of Zhao Wenlong's mouth slightly showed a hint of curvature, and said, "Hey, this is too much for Lord Lin to waste~"
"Lord Zhao, you're welcome~" Lin Zhiwen raised his eyebrows, looking like he didn't care at all.
"Let's do it~" The little guy who delivered the wine didn't know why, he suddenly tripped and fell while walking, the tray in his hand was not held steady, not to mention, the wine in the wine jug was still half spilled, and he hurriedly dragged it, revealing that the back of his hand was wrapped in a white cloth.
As soon as Lin Zhiwen saw that the wine was spilled, he immediately raised his eyes and glanced at the people around him, Lu Yue immediately noticed this unusualness, the surprise in his eyes was instantly put away, and when Lin Zhiwen looked at it, he immediately lowered his eyes.
Lu Yue's heart was pounding, and she was about to reveal her stuffing, but fortunately she reacted quickly enough, otherwise I was afraid that Lin Zhiwen would find her.
Lin Zhiwen's eyes turned around gloomily, he didn't see what he wanted to see, the whole person instantly lost his spirit, and reprimanded in an unhappy tone: "It's really stupid, don't get out of here~"
"Yes, yes~" The little guy was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated from the tray.
This little guy has light steps, rhythmic breathing, and a more delicate and light posture when running.
This will not be an ordinary little guy, and there is a thin layer of calluses on his fingers, and this little guy also has a layer of snow-white brocade handkerchief wrapped around his right hand, and there is a trace of blood on it.
