Seeing Lu Weilou lead people to escort Shen Yinchen and Wen Zhao away, Lin Suwen and I turned back to the journey.

Two people rode horses, along the mountain road through the deep valley, the roadside autumn is thick, the maple leaves are red, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves echoes among the trees on the stone wall.

Halfway through, I saw a stream ahead, and I felt a little thirsty, so I jumped off my horse, threw it aside, and walked towards the stream.

Lifted the hem of his clothes, squatted by the stream and washed his face, and then picked up the stream water and drank two sips, the spring water in the deep mountains and wild streams was clear and sweet, and people couldn't help but be shocked.

I turned around and saw Lin Suwen leading the horse and standing on a rock on the shore, so I shouted at him, "Hey, do you want to come down and wash?" ”

Lin Suwen still looked at me condescendingly, unmoved, I pursed my lips, climbed up along the uneven stones on the shore, and just stood beside him, but saw Lin Suwen let go of the reins and walked down unhurriedly along the place I had just come up.

Seeing this, I disliked him again in my heart, sat down on the stone, and saw him carefully squatting down by the stream with the hem of his clothes, when suddenly I thought of something, I 'touched' a small pebble next to me, raised my hand and threw it at him, and the pebble fell into the water and made a splash.

Lin Suwen glanced back at me, didn't speak, moved out to the right for a distance, and just squatted down, I found another opportunity, picked up a stone, and threw it out.

Seeing that he turned to look at me, he quickly pretended not to know, turned around, whistled, and went to admire the maple trees growing on the opposite cliff.

After a while, I glanced at him secretly, and saw Lin Suwen standing on the shore, looking at me with a blank expression, obviously a little unhappy.

I was stared at by him, and I pretended that the things just now had nothing to do with me, and said stupidly: "Don't you want to wash your face, wash it." ”

Lin Suwen still stood there for a long time before he walked farther away, because of the deep reeds growing on the shore, his figure was blocked by branches and leaves, and I couldn't see it.

I was depressed, and secretly complained to him for being stingy, and lay down on the stone, and there was a dog's tail grass growing in the crack of the stone next to me, which I plucked off, held it in my mouth, pillowed my arms, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.

The autumn wind is light, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is still very full, and after looking at it for a while, my eyes are sore, and I fall asleep groggy.

The cold water slashed on my face, I was startled, and quickly sat up, only to see Lin Suwen holding a lotus leaf in his hand, standing in front of me expressionlessly.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

I wiped my face and shouted at him angrily.

I felt that he was standing and I was sitting, and he was watching from above, and his momentum was shortened.

So, he stood up and said, "I didn't get on you just now, you see my clothes are wet." ”

Leng Buding was splashed with water, his eyes were sour and astringent, I 'kneaded' and 'kneaded', and went to pat the wet clothes, but saw that Lin Su didn't say a word and turned to leave.

"Hey, you stop ...... me"

I caught up with him from behind, and just walked to his side, I saw the lotus leaf in his hand flip and cover my face.

I hurriedly went to block it, took the lotus leaf out of his hand, and when I raised my eyes again, he was already far away, and not far away, our two horses were standing together and grazing under the tree.

He picked up a clean shade and stood, because Lin Suwen was very clean, and he didn't want the dust to get on his white clothes, so he just stood.

I walked over to him with a look of resentment, and Lin Suwen said, "Peng Zhen is indeed dead." ”

Hearing this, I was stunned, how did he know that I was worried about this matter, reacted, and said with a restrained expression: "How do you know?" ”

He lightly spit out two words: "Lin family." ”

Indeed, the relationship between Peng Zhen and King Rui, I can think of it, it is impossible for the Lin family not to notice, I thought that Lin Suwen was only practicing in the Lin family, and he didn't know anything, but now it seems that he still knows something about the Lin family's affairs in the court, but I underestimated him.

Twenty years ago, after the tragedy of King Jing's Mansion, Tianzheng Yuan and King Rui were criticized one after another, and for a while, everyone in the court was in danger, especially the Lin family.

Therefore, regarding the turmoil in the imperial court, they must be particularly concerned, Peng Zhen's attack on Yinshan is so weird, it is impossible for the Lin family not to notice it.

"What did you find?"

Lin Su's face was like frost when he heard it, and replied, "I don't know." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter, the envelope looked like it was some years old, and it was not signed on it, it should be the news sent to them by the Lin family's envoy.

I hesitated, reached out to take it, and unfolded the letter, but what was written inside was the matter of Peng Zhen's family.

In that year, after Peng Zhen's death, the court did not pursue his fault for losing his salary, and posthumously named him a general, and in order to appease his family, he also allocated some silver taels.

But according to the letter, soon after Peng Zhen's death, his father, who ate and drank and gambled, lived a life of profligacy and luxury, and spent far more gold and silver than the imperial court's supplies.

And Peng Zhen's wife, soon after this, remarried someone else, the Peng family was completely ruined, and the only remaining brother with a somewhat crippled intelligence was no news.

It stands to reason that if Peng Zhen is still alive, it is impossible to be indifferent to these things, and she can hide calmly.

The only explanation can only be that he is indeed dead.

But what's going on, if Peng Zhen and King Rui had already colluded to use those missing craftsmen to create the illusion that they were dead, why did they really lose their "lives" in the end?

I thought for a while and said, "Could it be that Peng Zhen was really killed by those bandits?" ”

Lin Suwen shook his head, looking at him like this, I couldn't get angry, and I was even more angry when I thought of what he had just poured water on me.

So he chirped crookedly and shouted: "Hey, if you know, you know, if you don't know, you say you don't know, shake your head, how do I know if you don't know, or if you're saying no?" ”

Lin Suwen looked at me, probably surprised by my sudden bad temper, and reacted for a moment before saying, "I don't know." ”

“……”

I'm fed up!

I knew that I would have let him go with Lu Weilou just now!

Did you leave him behind for nothing to make me angry?

Angrily walking towards the horse, thinking that the letter from their house was still with me, he turned back and threw the letter into his bosom along with the lotus leaf.

Leading the horse, walking in the direction of the Wen family, just took a few steps, and stopped, at this time, Lin Suwen had already caught up with me, also led the horse, and walked next to me.

I pondered for a moment, finally reined in my temper, looked at him and said, "Do you think it is possible that the person who killed Peng Zhen was really not a bandit, but someone else?" ”

"Back then, Peng Zhen was ordered to transport grain and grass to the north, which was not a small amount, plus King Rui's own private collection, all of which were buried in the 'cave' of the Red Calyx Niangniang's tomb, in the future, once they turned back and invaded Shengjing, they would not have to travel thousands of miles from Yingzhou to transport it here, which could just be regarded as a batch of rich supplies."

"They first agreed to hide the matter with fake death, and let Peng Zhen sneak into Yingzhou to rendezvous, but they didn't expect that something happened in the middle, Peng Zhen really died, and their things were also robbed by the mastermind behind the scenes, so the tomb of the red calyx Niangniang was empty, and King Rui also postponed the plan and hibernate to this day."

Hearing this, Lin Su was silent for a moment and asked, "Who?" ”

I understand what he meant, is to ask the court at that time, who has the ability to do this, after all, at that time, the emperor's eldest grandson Xiao Zhuo was still a little child, and he didn't even have the ability to protect himself, and several other princes, under the pressure of my father and King Rui for many years, mentioned that they were eager to run away when it came to fighting for the prince, and they had long lost the mind of sitting on the world.

If I could, I would have preferred to believe that it was my father, but by that time, my father was already dead.

So, who else will it be......

I think of the warlock who assassinated me in Shengjing some time ago, who can drive such a cultivated warlock, although I don't know why he wants to kill Xiao Li, but it is obviously a confrontation with King Rui, does this mean that in today's Shengliang, in addition to King Rui and Xiao Zhuo, there is actually another force that is coveting the world.

Or are they still the princes?

seems to be cowardly and incompetent, and has long had no idea about the throne, but in fact he is just secretly raising his head and waiting for some opportunity in the future.

When I think of these questions, my head is about to get bigger, and I always feel that the more clues are organized, the more "chaotic" they become, and the quagmire is getting deeper and deeper.

If such a person really exists, no matter who he is, it is an opportunity and a danger for Xiao Zhuo now.

A Rui King is enough for Xiao Zhuo to deal with, if you add that hidden enemy, trying to let them compete with each other for profit, with Xiao Zhuo's strength, even if he can barely parry the rebellion of Rui Wang in the end, it is impossible to withstand the second blow.

Thinking of this, I looked at Lin Suwen and asked, "Your Lin family, are you sure to stand on the side of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun?" ”

Lin Su was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hesitantly.

Hearing this, I held the jade flute, stretched my waist, and said, "Then, you have to remember your current words." ”

Lin Suwen didn't speak, and for a long time: "It's a little strange." ”

I hummed suspiciously, looked at him, saw him look at me too, and said, "You and him." ”

I snorted, "What's weird?" ”

"It's because my senior brother likes him very much, so I help him, otherwise, I don't care about your business!"

Lin Suwen stopped talking again.

I led the horse and continued to walk forward, when I suddenly thought of something, stopped, looked at him and said suspiciously: "If there is really nothing in the tomb of the red calyx Niangniang, why did the group of tomb robbers of the Wen family live in Yinshan for three years?" ”
