Chapter 096: The Beginning and the End
"Shhhhhh Then he looked around nervously, and saw that there was no one around and slowly let go of his hand.
Shen'er knew that he was speechless, and after quickly sticking out his tongue, he said cautiously: "The slave knows that ...... is wrong."
Zhilan glared at her angrily, and said as she walked into the room: "As for that, it's not your business, you just have to keep your mouth shut." ”
"Slave obeys orders......" Shen'er replied aggrievedly, and her voice was like a mosquito humming.
Not long after the two of them entered the house, Huaxin also came back from Liyuan. I saw that she had been hanging her head since she entered the house, her face was red, and she didn't say a word. Zhilan knew that it must be because of her luck to Sheng Xuanyuan at that time. Although the two of them have practiced martial arts since childhood, they have also studied for a few years, and they must have been taught the concept of "life and death are small, and fame and festival are big". Touching a young man's bare skin was nothing in Zhilan's eyes, but in their eyes, it might be a big deal related to discipline. Zhilan knew that it was only difficult for a strong person to correct their thoughts, so it was better to comfort her a few words than this.
So Zhilan said softly to Huaxin: "Today's matter is really difficult for you." If it weren't for the fact that I had no internal strength and the three princes' lives were hanging by a thread, I would never have asked you to make such a sacrifice. ”
Seeing that Huaxin's eyes were red, tears fell down her eyes, and she choked up in a low voice: "The slave knows Miss's difficulties...... For the sake of the Lin family, the slave maid is willing to die without giving up...... It's just that this unclean body is really ashamed to serve the young lady......"
As soon as she heard this, Zhilan suddenly felt that one head was two big. It seems that she underestimated the consequences of this matter too much. Even Huaxin, a woman with a bit of chivalry and heroism, cried and cried because of such a trivial matter, and even reached the height of righteousness and death, which shows how stupid these women are taught by the secular etiquette! If she just lets it go, it's hard to guarantee that Huaxin will do something stupid. Wouldn't that be her sin!
"Uh, this, this...... Drawing the Heart...... Xin'er, you listen to me. Zhilan soothed the painting as she searched her stomach and thought about what to say to make her turn the corner. Originally, she knew very little about such things, and she was upset when she heard the sobbing cry, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
Shen'er has followed Zhilan over the years, and has also learned a lot from her master. At this time, seeing that Zhilan was a little embarrassed, she stepped forward and took the hand of the painter and said, "Although we haven't read a book, the truth is also clear." Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say our young lady, didn't she touch the three princes when she treated the disease and saved people today? Can you say she's doing something wrong? ”
Huaxin was stunned for a moment, and he didn't cry anymore, but just sobbed again and again, and looked at the pendant with a pool of tears in his eyes.
At this time, Zhilan also came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Yes, what we have done today is a great good deed with immeasurable merits, how can it be related to the name of Na Laoshizi?" Miss, I will hang a pot to help the world in the future, if I stick to this rule, how can I practice medicine to save people? ”
Seeing that the painting was stunned and didn't speak, Zhilan said again: "Although men and women don't kiss, they also have to be flexible depending on the situation." Haven't you heard of your sister-in-law's help? Even if you are a monk, when you see a woman falling into the water, you have to lend a hand. What's more, today you saved not only the lives of the three princes, but also the lives of dozens of people in our Lin family! When it comes to honor, there is no one more noble and pure than your heart! ”
In the end, he was coaxing and coaxing, and he burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Miss, this mouth, it's really-"
"How? Convincing or not? Shen'er asked with a smile.
Huaxin stretched out his hand and smiled while wiping his tears, "I took it...... Convincing oral ......"
Zhilan knew that this kind of thing was the result of a deep-rooted concept, and it could not be explained in a moment. She didn't plan to coax people away with these words, she just hoped that Huaxin could pass the current hurdle first. As for the future, it is better to take your time. So she had the heart to change the topic, leaned on the chaise longue and said lazily: "Now, you two, who will tell me about the situation in Liyuan at that time?" ”
When Guanyun woke up, it was already time. Under his description, the context of the matter gradually became clear.
It turned out that a few days ago, Sheng Xuanyuan received a secret letter from a direct official. The letter said that the victims were displaced due to heavy snowfall last year, but the disaster relief money that the imperial court had later distributed for this purpose had been secretly embezzled and filled their pockets. Although it is not known who is behind the scenes, the official learned a piece of information by chance. It is said that in order to hide people's eyes, the money is still buried under a Buddha statue in a temple on the outskirts of Beijing. Since this money was originally delegated by Sheng Xuanyuan, he specially informed him of this matter, hoping that he could find out the truth.
Regarding this matter, Sheng Xuanyuan was skeptical. But that amount of money is not a small amount after all, and we can't just sit idly by. In order to find out the authenticity, he and Guanyun went to the temple in person. On the way there, the two were ambushed by unknown assassins. One was hit by an arrow, one was seriously wounded.
For that assassin, Guanyun still can't describe it. It was only said that the man's whole body was black, and even his face was very tightly covered. The body shape changed so rapidly that even the two of them who had been practicing martial arts for many years could not detect the proximity of this person. As for whether this person is male or female, old or young, he does not know.
After Lin Mubai heard these words, he was even more convinced that the assassin had left the arrow. It stands to reason that with the internal force of Guanyun and Sheng Xuanyuan, if an arrow flies from a distance, they will definitely hear it and dodge it. The reason why Sheng Xuanyuan was hit by the arrow must be because the arrow speed was too fast, and even he couldn't dodge. To have such speed, it can only be done with a special bow and arrow, plus the archer's more powerful internal force. And according to legend, there is such a set of bows and arrows from the arrow, and no one can pull it except himself. In addition, Guanyun described that this person came and went without a trace, which is mysterious, which is in line with various legends about the departure of arrows on the rivers and lakes for many years.
Now it seems that the official's letter and the so-called embezzled disaster relief money should be just bait. But who is the fisherman?
