Chapter 254: You Know Me
Lin Nanke seemed to guess what she was thinking, and replied when he saw the move, "I don't know why, this kind of snake appears frequently in the cellar, thinking that there are snakes that lay eggs there, so I had to ask the doctor to make a special gold sore medicine, which works very quickly." It is said to be concocted with snake blood serum and lobelia. ”
Xie Zijin saw that the temptation failed, but he was not annoyed, and only nodded, "Thank you Miss for your concern." I wonder how long I've been asleep? ”
Lin Nanke glanced out the window, "It's only one night." When the fever subsides, you wake up. ”
Xie Zijin was shocked, and he didn't know what secrets he could tell in his coma, or what he was talking nonsense. But if you really ask about Lin Nanke, you will only expose your ulterior motives last night.
Therefore, Xie Zijin gave up stupidly.
After Lin Nanke left, Xie Zijin took a hot bath, and after cleaning up, he rushed to the Ronglu Inn.
Si Yuan said in the letter that he would see him at the Ronglu Inn two days later.
Then today is the appointed day.
When Xie Zijin rode the horse, he couldn't help but wonder in his mind, why did Si Yuan calculate that within two days, she would be able to complete the task he gave her?
Are you so confident in her?
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel better, and a faint smile rose on the corner of her lips.
The horse's hooves splashed mud on the ground after the rain, and on horseback, the eyes of the black-clothed young man were burning and bright, and his cheeks were even brighter than that of a girl.
Dismounted at the Ronglu Inn, the shopkeeper saw the arrival of the distinguished guest, and he was busy laughing and shouting, "Guest officer, the two masters are still in the Tianzi number, can you ask the little ones to send some food?" ”
Xie Zijin rolled his eyes, took out a silver ingot from his purse, and put it in the palm of the shopkeeper's hand, "Go to the pastry shop next door to buy half a catty of freshly steamed osmanthus cake, and half a catty of frangipani rolls!" ”
"Okay, wait a minute, the little one will send someone to buy it!" After that, he was overjoyed and put the silver ingot in his pocket and hurried to the backyard to greet someone.
Xie Zijin stepped up to the third floor. The third floor is a place for heavy guests to rest, so it is silent, in stark contrast to the noisy first floor.
At that time, she walked to Si Yuan's house, but heard the sound of the two arguing from the house.
Inside the house.
Lin Hanzhang suppressed his faint anger, "Lord Wang, I heard that you let Zijin go to the salt cellar of the Lin Mansion alone?" ”
"She is now on an errand in the Lin Mansion by mistake, which is the best opportunity to sneak in and investigate," Shen Huaijin was a little weak-hearted, but he was ruthless, "You know that you can get twice the result with half the effort, why are you so harsh on this king?" ”
"She is a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, she was bought into the Lin Mansion, I don't know what the brother and sister are going to do, and now let her put her in danger, if something really happens, what should she do?"
His face was as gloomy as if a downpour was coming, and his expression was even more gloomy to stare at Shen Huaijin.
The latter clenched his fists, and replied to him with an unkind face: "Lin Hanzhang, your only value to this king at the moment - except for the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is there anything else?" ”
Lin Hanzhang didn't laugh angrily, "In that case, why don't you let Xue Yizhi be the commander of this Jinyi Guard, what does the prince think?" ”
Shen Huaijin had a cold face, "Do you think this king really cares who this Jinyi Guard's commander is?" At the moment, this king is just a flawless mediation with Xue Yi. But Lord Lin was at his father's place the day before yesterday, didn't he already make this king clear? ”
"Weichen doesn't understand the meaning of the prince, and hopes that the prince will make it clear." Lin Hanzhang looked at him with a cold face.
"Lord Lin asked Xue Yizhi to serve as the deputy envoy of the Jinyi Guard, isn't it because he is worried that this king will weaken your authority as the commander of the Jinyi Guard?" Shen Huaijin narrowed his eyes and walked around Lin Hanzhang, "Lord Lin really has a delicate mind, otherwise how could he save the sinner girl of the Xie family in the first place, so that she can still swagger through the market vigorously now?" ”
Lin Hanzhang stared at him, "The prince is annoyed and angry, so he deliberately came to slander the official?" ”
The previous title of "you and me" has long since ceased to exist, and has been replaced by a serious and respectful title such as "prince and official".
But this kind of respect is not a good thing for the two.
Shen Huaijin also noticed this, and then eased his complexion, "Lin Hanzhang, this king doesn't know why you and I are so angry?" ”
"Shouldn't the prince know it?" Lin Hanzhang looked at him coldly, "Do you remember what the prince promised me?" ”
Xie Zijin was thinking about how to face Si Yuan for a while, when suddenly a person rushed from the side of the corridor, and he looked good.
The man went straight to her, glanced at the number on the door, and looked at her suspiciously.
Before Xie Zijin could speak, the man had already raised his hand, and a hurried knock on the door followed.
Xie Zijin was afraid that the people in the house would find out that he had stood in front of the house and listened to the conversation between the two, so he was about to step aside, but saw that the person had already pushed the door open quickly.
She was dumbfounded, and stared at the two people in the room.
Shen Huaijin was also a little surprised, but fortunately, he had always been moody, and he instantly regained his composure and walked up to her, "How long have you been here?" ”
Knowing that the person in front of him was the master of the Forbidden City, Xie Zijin didn't dare to be as casual as before, and stood with his eyebrows lowered for a long time, unable to hold back a word.
"Zijin." Shen Huaijin knew that the conversation in the house should have been listened to by her, but he didn't expect Xie Zijin to come over so quickly, let alone that she would stand outside the house and eavesdrop.
Zhang Caichen ran all the way over, he had something urgent to say to Shen Huaijin, but after hearing these two words, he looked at the man in the suit on the side in a daze, and was about to speak, but Lin Hanzhang took the lead, "Girl, sit down and talk first." Commander Zhang, what is the important reason for you to come here? ”
Only then did Zhang Caichen remember his intention, "The master is dead." ”
Hearing this, Shen Huaijin and Lin Hanzhang tacitly glanced at each other, this matter was expected by the two, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
"Where was the body of the teacher girl found?" Shen Huaijin asked.
"The House of the Prodigal Son. It was in her room, at noon today, when her maidservant Xiaoyuan sent lunch over, that she had committed suicide by hanging from a beam. ”
"Suicide?" Shen Huaijin muttered, "How come? ”
Zhang Caichen's face was slightly frightened, "I don't know why...... When he heard the news, he quickly rushed over to tell the prince. After that, he turned his curious gaze to Xie Zijin, "Why are you dressed like this?" ”
Xie Zijin's eyes widened, "Do you recognize me?" ”
Zhang Caichen was stunned, "You're not Xie Zijin?" ”
Lin Hanzhang and Shen Huaijin were about to organize him, but they saw that Zhang Caichen had already taken the lead, walked up to Xie Zijin and said, "I'm Zhang Caichen, don't you remember?" I said I was going to marry you! ”
