Lin Boqin was holding a cane, a little speechless.

Gu Jingtong on the side smiled, took it from his hand, and then said, "I'll go and sort out the case file and submit it to Master Huo." He walked a few steps away, suddenly remembered something, and turned around to remind, "Li Siniang is sick like that, you can go and see it later." ”

When Lin Boqin heard this, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.

At this time, Governor Chen accompanied Huo Ying to the outside of the court, and looked at the backs of the second sister Chun and Cai Gaoyi who were escorted away, feeling both embarrassed and deserved.

Huo Ying pressed the bronze mace on his waist, glanced at the chubby Chen Governor next to him, and knew that he had been with the mud all along, and he didn't want to see him in his heart.

He said coldly: "As the prefect of Wangzhou, Lord Chen's political performance is much worse than that of Lord Lin, I hope you will do things in the future, otherwise I will be sorry for the black yarn hat on your head." The position of the prefect of Wangzhou is neither big nor small, but not everyone can sit and live in vain! ”

Governor Chen shuddered, his heart was cold, and he hurriedly said: "The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand." ”

Huo Ying said "um", knocked him and didn't say more, but asked: "I was in the government before, and I heard that Wangzhou Qing official Shilang is middle-aged and has reached the age of Zhishi?" ”

Governor Chen bowed down and replied, "I heard that Zhao Langzhong has already handed over the fold to the top, and I don't know when the emperor will approve it." ”

Huo Ying bowed his head, but he did not hide what he thought, and said to Lin Boqin: "After returning to Beijing, I will recommend you to the emperor to replace the position of Wangzhou Qing official Shilangzhong." ”

"Lord Huo, this ...... The lower officials are afraid that they will not be competent. Lin Boqin thought he had heard it wrong.

Huo Ying smiled and said: "Lord Lin doesn't have to be too humble, Gu Xiancheng has given me all the documents you have handled in recent years, such as the files you have handled, the management of agriculture, and the management of forced labor and taxes. It stands to reason that you should have been promoted a long time ago, but you are still making a county order in Qingyuan County, which has a lot to do with Wu Guangbi as a supervisor over the years. Moreover, the position of Qing official Shilang is only from the sixth grade, and it may not be as powerful as you in Qingyuan County. ”

The Criminal Department has 12 Divisions of Officials, which are in charge of criminal cases. Wangzhou is located in a remote area, in addition to the name of the punishment, but also to take over the Wangzhou Yinzhou Imperial History, Youzhou General Wenyi, and supervise some miscellaneous matters.

Speaking of which, it's really better to nest in a small Qingyuan County.

But it's an opportunity.

Only by transferring from a small county to a state capital can you have the opportunity to be promoted from the state city to Zhili and the capital, and you can go all the way.

Lin Boqin is not a stone, and he once remembered what he studied hard for. Only by gaining more rights can you achieve your ambitions and fulfill your ambitions.

Therefore, after listening to what Huo Ying said, he respectfully replied: "Thank you Lord Huo for your promotion in advance." ”

Governor Chen, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the two and was silent, but his eyes were dark, and his heart was uneven.

***

Chu Cheng pretended to be sick in the infirmary, but she also wanted to find out what happened to Wu Guangbi's case.

She let Mabi and Xidui run back and forth several times, and was relieved to learn that Second Sister Chun and Cai Gaoyi had been arrested and escorted to Beijing in a few days.

It must have been her master who went to Beijing.

As soon as Huo Ying leaves, he can be fearless again.

At this time, Xi Duan brought a bowl of medicine, walked to the recliner where Chu Cheng was temporarily resting, and handed it over with both hands: "Madam, take a few sips while it's hot." ”

Chu Ji looked at the black medicinal juice, and her face was almost the same as the black of this medicine.

"Is it okay not to drink it?"

Her waist is not sore now, her head does not hurt, and she eats so well.

Xi Du only felt that a gust of wind from her illness was about to blow down, and hurriedly said anxiously, "No, madam, drinking medicine is for your good." If you drink the medicine, your illness will be cured sooner! ”

Chu Cheng sighed quietly, looked at the medicine bowl, and couldn't get out of her mouth for a long time.

Be dignified, find yourself what kind of guilt!

Chu Cheng was helpless, and was about to take a sip of it, when she saw that the curtain outside the medical hall was "brushed" open, Lin Boqin's official uniform had not been changed, and the dust and servants appeared here. Xi Du is also a mouthless, she saw Lin Boqin hurriedly stood up, and she was very aggrieved: "Lord Lin, come and persuade Madame, she refuses to drink medicine!" ”

“……”

The corners of Chu Hui's forehead twitched, and she had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Lin Boqin stepped forward and condescendingly reprimanded her: "When you are sick like that, you still refuse to drink medicine." Li Siniang, what's going on in your head? His tone was not heavy, but a little warm, obviously a reprimand, but it sounded like a pampering.

When Chu Cheng heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she decided to play tricks on him.

So she raised a face as bright as a flower, and said aggrievedly: "What are I thinking in my head...... Of course, I'm thinking about you, husband! ”

Lin Boqin's heart was pounding, but his face was calm, as if he had already seen through her tricks.

Seeing that he was smart, Chu Ji looked more and more aggrieved, and raised his hand to push the medicine bowl away angrily: "If my husband ignores me, then I won't drink medicine." ”

When Xi Twilight saw that his wife and adults were playing tricks, she covered her mouth and smiled and stepped back, going outside to find Mabi who was grabbing medicine.

Lin Boqin frowned, picked up the medicine bowl, and handed it to her: "Don't mess around, drink the medicine." ”

"I don't."

Chu Cheng turned her head, "No!" ”

Only villains and women are difficult to raise, and this woman is more difficult to deal with than villains. Lin Boqin's head was as big as a fight, and he wanted to talk about her, but when he thought that she was about to faint from her previous illness, she didn't say anything serious, and softened her tone: "You are so willful, aren't you asking for hardship?" ”

Chu Cheng muttered, "But this medicine is more bitter." ”

"How?" Lin Boqin looked at the medicine bowl, looked at it, and said, "It's just ordinary typhoid medicine." ”

Chu Cheng let out an "oh", still pouting: "I don't believe it, unless you take a few sips and take a look." "Dr. Xu's medicine likes to add yellow lotus the most, how bitter it is, she can drink it, and Lin Boqin also has to drink it.

Lin Boqin frowned and said, "It's you who is sick, not me." ”

"If you don't drink it anyway, I won't drink it." Chu Ji didn't bother to talk to him, and lowered her head to play with her slender fingers.

She had a strange temper, and Lin Boqin had no choice but to pick up the medicine bowl and take a sip.

Well...... Sure enough, it was bitter.

His face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he handed the medicine bowl to Chu Hui: "It's not bitter." ”

Chu Cheng raised her eyebrows, took the medicine bowl but was not in a hurry to drink it, but said with a smile: "It's the puppy who deceives people." ”

Lin Boqin: "......"

Chu Cheng rested his thoughts, drank the medicine in three or two sips, and directly asked about Cai Gaoyi's case.

Lin Boqin straightened his color and told her the general process. Chu Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Second Sister Chun to look like a frivolous person, but she was so affectionate to Old Man Cao. ”

"The human heart is made of flesh, and no one knows whether the wicked have good thoughts in their hearts." Lin Boqin didn't like the second sister Chun, so even mentioning her name was a frown.

Chu Cheng doesn't care about Second Sister Chun, she cares about herself the most.

So she hurriedly asked: "When will Master Huo escort Cai Gaoyi and Second Sister Chun back to Beijing?" ”

Lin Boqin thought for a moment and replied, "Xu is on his way back to Beijing at this time. Huo Ying acted vigorously and resolutely, and he had a quick attitude towards Cai Gaoyi's murder of his colleagues.

Chu Cheng was overjoyed, and couldn't help jumping up from the recliner and blurted out: "Great! ”

The smell of medicine is permeated in this medical hall, and she can't stand it anymore!

Lin Boqin looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What's 'wonderful'?" ”

"That's ......" Chu Cheng pursed her lips, and instantly thought of an excuse, "The sooner you return to Beijing, you can convict Cai Gaoyi earlier, I really look disgusted with the appearance of this person's martial arts." ”

Lin Boqin was also disgusted, but he would not express his position directly like Chu Cheng.

Huo Ying is gone, and there is no need for Chu Cheng to nest here.

She told Lin Boqin that she was much better and wanted to go back to the house to rest, so Lin Boqin called Shangbi Xidui and asked them to help Chu Cheng into the carriage.

In fact, the medical hall is not far from Lin Mansion, so there is no need to take a car, but Lin Boqin thought about Chu Cheng's previous headache, and his heart palpitated, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable...... threw himself into his arms again.

The carriage drove slowly through the streets, and the winter wind blew the yellow leaves on the ground.

Lin Boqin glanced at Chu Hui, she didn't have a cloak, and her figure looked a little thin.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Are you cold?" ”

Chu Cheng didn't want to pretend anymore, so she shook her head: "It's much better after drinking the medicine, and it's not cold at all now." ”

Lin Boqin saw that her face was flushed, like a peach that had just been picked in the summer, so he also believed it.

The carriage stopped in front of Lin Mansion after a while.

Xi Du and Mabi were the first to get out of the car, followed by Lin Boqin.

Chu Cheng lifted the curtain of the car, and was about to bow down and walk out of the carriage, when he heard Lin Boqin's voice suddenly sound: "Why is Lord Huo here?" I heard Huo Ying's deep voice say again: "I think of an important matter, and I want to explain it to Lord Lin." ”

What's important?

What's so important to be in such a hurry? Did you come to someone's mansion?

Chu Cheng can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger now, she has already opened half of the carriage curtain with her hand, and if she goes down, she will definitely be recognized by Huo Ying; If you don't go down, it's even more suspicious. After thinking for a moment, Chu Cheng planned to quietly lower the curtain and hide in the carriage as a turtle.

She made a wishful thinking, but forgot that the two stupid maids were still there.

Especially Xidui, she asked abruptly, "Madam, you have already arrived at the house, why haven't you come down yet?" Is it because you are feeling unwell? ”

Her voice was neither loud nor small, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear her.

Chu Cheng can't wait to find a piece of tofu and kill her!

Through a carriage curtain, she could almost imagine that everyone's eyes outside had fallen here, even if she didn't make contact with those sights, Chu Cheng was cold, like sitting on pins and needles.

"Li Siniang?"

Lin Boqin's usual clear voice made Chu Ji feel excited.

The tricks that have been used before, it seems that they will have to be used again.

Thinking of this, Chu Cheng covered her face and laughed helplessly.

She calmed down, rubbed her throat again, and leaned softly on the carriage cushion, supporting her forehead and frowning, and called weakly: "Husband, I'm ...... My head hurts! ”

The woman's coquettish voice came out clearly from the carriage, and Lin Boqin glanced at Huo Ying and the others with his afterglow, and his face was a little hot.

He raised his eyebrows, raised his hand to lift the curtain, and asked, "What's wrong?" Not feeling well? ”

Chu Xian nodded solemnly: "I'll go back to sleep and sweat." But......" she held out her hand to him, "I have a headache right now, and I want to ...... I want you to hug. ”

“……”

Lin Boqin's eyes fell on her wrist, only to find that she was wearing a ring of emerald green bracelets, lining her skin as white as jade, and her bones were distinct.

After hesitating for a moment, or for a moment, Lin Boqin took her hand and took her into his arms.

The woman is as petite and soft as ever, and there is no pungent smell of hair oil in her hair, but the fragrance of natural soap leaves. A few strands of hair rubbed against his neck, and the crispy numb feeling went all the way deep into his heart.

Lin Boqin's expression was calm, but his heart was already upside down. kept saying to himself, it's not the first time that the two of them have hugged each other, there is nothing to be embarrassed about, and besides, these are all forced by the situation...... He doesn't like Li Siniang, they have three chapters of the law, they are not a real couple, they are just ...... In what? Lin Boqin himself couldn't find a reason.

"Lin Boqin, I want to go back and rest soon." Chu Ji buried her in his chest and said sullenly.

Lin Boqin said "um" and hugged her a little away from his chest, for fear that she would hear her own heartbeat as dense as the beat of a drum.

He hugged Chu Cheng, walked towards the door of the mansion, passed by Huo Ying, and said apologetically: "Xiaguan Neizi is unwell, so he needs to go back to the room to rest first." Master Huo, please come in first, and the lower official will pour you a pot of hot tea for a while. ”

"Not necessarily."

Huo Ying's face was full of weather, he looked at the woman in Lin Boqin's arms with disgust, and his face was cold, "I have to rush to the capital immediately, I just want to explain one thing to you, and I will leave after speaking." ”

Lin Boqin felt that Chu Cheng had slipped down a little, and tightened his arms tightly.

Chu Cheng felt that the whole person was pressed against him, and the roundness was tightly pressed against his flatness, Rao knew that he was acting, but his cheeks were dizzy, and the fire was hot.

Lin Boqin didn't notice it, he said in a deep voice: "Lord Huo, please speak." ”

Huo Ying said: "Regarding the Jiangyang thief Jade Xuanji, Lord Lin must have received the sea fishing document half a year ago. ”

Chu Cheng stiffened, her fingers tugged at Lin Boqin's clothes, and she pricked up her ears to listen to Huo Ying's next words.

"This person is extremely guilty of a heinous crime, and he is a first-class criminal wanted by the imperial court. Her martial arts skills are superb and make a golden silk soft sword. and resourceful and extremely cunning, the court has made no progress in the past six months. The only time she almost caught her was when she pretended to be Mrs. Ling's maid, Zi Tao. ”

Lin Boqin heard Yang La talk about it, but he didn't take it to heart.

He frowned and asked, "What does Master Huo mean?" ”

Huo Ying's face sank and said word for word: "I suspect that Yu Xuanji is now hiding in Youzhou, Wangzhou, and Yinzhou. And I have read all the files of Lord Lin in recent years, and every case has been handled very beautifully, I hope you can pay more attention to this matter of arresting Yu Xuanji. ”

He was very sure of Lin Boqin's talent, so he also had a little expectation for him if he could find Princess Huarong.

As for the arrest of the murderer, Lin Boqin will not shirk as an official.

His expression was grim, and he said solemnly: "Lord Huo, don't worry, if the lower officials find clues about Yu Xuanji, they will report to you as soon as possible." ”

Huo Ying nodded with satisfaction, explained a few more words to him, then turned on his horse, whipped away.

Chu Ji listened to the sound of the horse's hooves getting farther away, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

She leaned weakly on Lin Boqin's arms, and she was sweating in the winter.

When Lin Boqin saw her appearance, he was even more sure that she was not lightly ill, so he turned around and told Mao Bi to ask Dr. Xu to have a good diagnosis and treatment.

Chu Cheng thought that Dr. Xu came over, and he wanted to prescribe medicine that would not pay for his life, and the whole person was not good!
