Chapter 026: The Rose Emerges
Seven full days have passed since that day, and Lin Mubai has issued a gag order, and no one is allowed to mention the disappearance of the young lady that day. Guanyun and Mrs. Lin accompanied her every day, for fear that she would remember the situation that day again. In fact, Zhilan is nothing, but when she thinks of Mei Xiang's bloody corpse, she is a little afraid, if her father is one step late, it is estimated that she will also follow Mei Xiang to the Netherworld Mansion. Thinking of this, Zhilan couldn't help but be a little curious. Didn't she get reimbursement for a car accident in her previous life, and she came here with the memories of her previous life. If you reimburse it again, will you be completely dead or reincarnated again? Although I am very curious about this issue, human life is not a matter of play, and it will be a big loss if it is completely finished.
Lin Mubai is almost not at home these days, and he knows that he will definitely be able to dig out more people who are hidden deeper from those two cultists. Zhilan didn't have any special feelings for the White Lotus Sect before, but now she hates it so much. They have to kill such an innocent, cute, pink, and fresh little Lori, which shows how inhuman the White Lotus Sect is. After this catastrophe, Zhilan decided to make more self-defense powder that she could carry with her in case of emergency.
Zhilan guessed correctly, Lin Mubai had finally caught two deeply hidden White Lotus disciples over the years, where would he be polite to them! The star fruit originally wanted to confuse the other party with her own appearance, and she might not be able to escape, but she gave herself a better treatment, and she didn't want Lin Mubai to pity the jade at all, and even did not hesitate to use capital punishment on them. The two who couldn't stand it confessed one after another, implicating more White Lotus cultists hidden in the capital.
After getting the list, Lin Mubai, who was already mentally prepared, couldn't help but be surprised. Although there are not many people on this list, most of them are the concubines of powerful officials in the Xi Dynasty. No wonder he always can't catch people, it turns out that he used this method to marry in the courtyard of the deep house. These women only rely on carrier pigeons to communicate on weekdays, and if there is a major event, they will secretly gather in the temple by offering incense to worship the Buddha. If it weren't for Mei Xiang's recklessness and robbery of Zhilan to invite merit, these people would have been hiding until there was a big action that threatened the imperial power. Thinking of this, Lin Mubai couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead.
The next arrest operation will be a bit tricky, and it must be reported to the emperor to get a special decree first. Last night he had already written a secret fold and handed it over, I wonder how the emperor will approve it today? While he was pondering, a guard suddenly came in and reported: "My lord, there is a woman outside the door who wants to see you, she claims to be the wife of your brother General Lin Muyang. ”
What is this woman causing trouble at this time? Lin Mubai couldn't help frowning, and said, "Said that I was busy, but I didn't see it." ”
"Uh-sir, she said the stakes are high, and it has something to do with the Mei Xiang you caught this time."
"Oh?" Lin Mubai was a little surprised, Mei Xiang was already dead, what else happened? After thinking for a moment, he said to the guard, "Let her in." ”
"Yes!"
After a while, Mrs. Lin Han Sumei walked in. As soon as "Mu Bai ......" entered the door, Han Sumei had a resentful expression, and Lin Mubai had a headache when she saw it.
"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me what you have to do with that Meixiang!" It's all this time, Lin Mubai really doesn't want to deal with her.
Han Sumei was a little surprised, although Lin Mubai deliberately kept a distance from her in the past, she was always polite, not as cold and rude as she is today.
Because of the stakes, she could only swallow this breath. I only heard her say: "The day before yesterday, on the way to the silk village, I saw a notice with a portrait of Mei Xiang. She is actually a member of the White Lotus Sect? ”
"Hmm."
"The last time I saw her in your house, I thought it was familiar, but I wasn't sure at the time."
"Now you're sure? Who is she? ”
"After the separation, Mu Yang had a close relationship with a woman in a green house. The woman occasionally sent a maidservant to deliver letters, and I bumped into her twice. Now that I think about it, Mei Xiang is the little maid back then. ”
"What? The eldest brother has ever been with a Qinglou woman? Who is that woman? Lin Mubai stood up from the chair with a "pout".
Seeing him lose his temper like this, Han Sumei knew that the matter was serious, and replied, "I haven't seen that woman, I only heard that her name is Rose." ”
Rosebush? The list provided by star fruit does not seem to have this character. Lin Mubai asked, "How much else do you know about this rose?" ”
"They have only been together for a year, and after Muyang passed away six years ago, she has not been heard from. That's all I know, I don't know if this information is useful to you? ”
"It's very useful." Lin Mubai got up and solemnly saluted Han Sumei and said, "Thank you sister-in-law for your help." Now I have to interrogate the offender, so I can't accompany him. ”
Han Sumei looked at Lin Mubai's handsome eyebrows in a daze, sighed extremely melancholy, and said, "It's good to be useful." Then he turned and left.
Lin Mubai didn't come out to see him off, he immediately called a few guards to bring the prisoner out of the dungeon.
When Carambola and Lao Bao were escorted over, they thought they were going to be executed, and the two knelt on the ground shaking violently like a sieve, terrified.
Lin Mubai glanced at them with some disgust and asked, "Do you know a woman named Rose?" ”
"Rose?" Lao Bao shook his head blankly, but the star fruit's eyes flickered when he heard the name.
Lin Mubai was keenly aware of her reaction, and immediately walked up to her and asked, "Say!" Who is Rose? ”
Carambola hung her head and was silent.
Lin Mubai nodded to a guard beside him, and the guard immediately stepped forward and grabbed the star fruit's hair and pulled it back, forcing her to raise her head, and said viciously: "Do you want to say it?" Do you want to try pins again? ”
Carambola hurriedly shook her head and said, "No...... Don't ......"
"Then say!"
As if she had made a lot of determination, Carambola took a deep breath and said, "If I say it, let me go." ”
The guard mocked, "Let you go?" It seems that it is still fast with a needle. "Then drag her down and torture her.
"Don't talk about torture, even if you kill me, I won't say it! Unless you promise to let me out! "Star fruit is determined to take a gamble.
The guard didn't allow her to argue, so he dragged her out.
"Wait!" Lin Mubai stretched out his hand to stop it. I saw him slowly walk up to the star fruit and ask, "Why are you talking about conditions?" ”
"Only I know about this man!" Star fruit stubbornly raised her head and said loudly.
"Okay, I promise you. If you say so, we'll let you out. ”
"My lord, this ......" Lin Mubai waved his hand to signal the guard to silence.
Carambola looked at him with some disbelief, and didn't expect to win the bet so easily. But she was still a little uneasy and said, "You have to swear." Swear with the lives of your whole family. ”
"Okay, I swear with the lives of my whole family, if you say it, I'll let you out."
The star fruit that got this sentence was as relieved as if it had eaten a reassuring pill.
Lin Mubai looked at her coldly and said, "Are you satisfied?" Let's get started. ”
