115. Official silver
Governor Chen thought that Lin Boqin was looking for him solemnly, because he had something important to tell him.
As a result, he asked about insignificant trivial matters, and listened to Governor Chen's head.
This Lin Boqin has outstanding political achievements in Qingyuan County, he thought that this person was still very smart, but after careful contact, he found that he was neither tactful nor sophisticated, although he did not offend people when he spoke, but his style of acting was too upright, and he was not liked in the officialdom.
"Lord Lin, if there is nothing important, the official still wants to give incense to his deceased wife, so he will not accompany him."
Governor Chen didn't have a good airway.
At this moment, a woman's voice came from afar: "Husband-"
When Chu Cheng saw Governor Chen, she tilted her neck and was about to cry again, but the frightened Governor Chen hurriedly raised her hand: "Mrs. Lin, stop!" ”
Chu Cheng raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and wanted to cry: "Governor Chen, the concubine is too sad for Mrs. Chen." ”
“…… The deceased wife has a confidant like Mrs. Lin, and the official is also deeply grateful. Governor Chen said thoughtfully.
Lin Boqin pulled Chu Cheng to his side at this time, and bowed to Governor Chen: "Since Lord Chen is still going to incense Mrs. Chen, I and Neiko will not disturb you." But please don't worry too much, you still have to take care of your health. ”
Governor Chen should go down.
Looking at Lin Boqin and Chu Cheng who were far away, he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these two plague gods could be regarded as gone.
The new mansion of Lin Mansion is not far from the mansion of Governor Chen, and most of them who are officials live in a few adjacent streets. The flat-headed people on the side can't afford to buy the land here.
So Chu Cheng and Lin Boqin walked side by side, and they seemed to have to go back for a walk.
"How? Can you find a useful clue? Lin Boqin leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice.
Chu Cheng felt that the breath he exhaled was hot, her face was slightly red, and she raised her eyes and said, "Your wife is out of the horse, how can there be anything that can't be done?" Walking to the hidden alley, Chu Cheng took out the porcelain bottle from her arms, "What Yun's mouth found was not arsenic, it was a poison that was even more powerful than arsenic. ”
Lin Boqin remembered that she once said that when she married a rich outsider, she had to deal with the competition for favor in the inner house, and she had seen drugs and poisons.
Chu Cheng forgot the lie she had made up, and said seriously: "Doctor Xu is proficient in pharmacology, I think he must know what kind of poison this is." ”
When she was grabbing medicine in the hospital before, she chatted with Dr. Xu a few times, and Dr. Xu didn't look at his age, he really knew a lot, and even knew something about the secret medicine in the palace.
Chu Cheng said: "Now you only need to trace the origin of the poison and find the buyer behind it, and all the problems can be solved." ”
Lin Boqin frowned slightly: "Doctor Xu is in Qingyuan County, I have an official position now, and I can't leave Wangzhou City without permission." And Yang Lahu Yu is my right-hand man, and one of them going out of the city will arouse suspicion. If Governor Chen learns that I am secretly investigating the cause of Yun's death, he will definitely obstruct it. ”
Chu Hui's eyes rolled, patted her chest, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Lin Boqin: "No." ”
"Why not, I can go." Chu Ji held his arm again and coquettishly, "I am your most trusted lady." ”
Lin Boqin didn't eat her anymore, and said in a deep voice: "It's a last resort to let you come over for an autopsy this time, how can I let you take risks again?" And the mountain road from Wangzhou to Qingyuan County is difficult to walk, and it is rumored that there are mountain bandits, even if you hire guards to accompany you, I am not at ease. ”
Only he knows how beautiful his wife is. In the wilderness, it is not a good thing for too beautiful women to go far away.
"Birchin~"
Chu Cheng simply called his name, "You just let me ......" Before she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up, "I know who I'm looking for!" ”
Lin Boqin was shocked by what she was saying: "Who are you looking for?" ”
Chu Cheng raised her hand and pointed to the man in a gray suit in the opposite street: "Look for him." ”
Lin Boqin looked in the direction of her finger and was slightly stunned: "Feng He? ”
Feng He still had that cold coffin face.
He walked along the crowd, perhaps because his aura was so cold that no one approached within three feet. It is precisely because of this that Chu Cheng can see him in the crowd at a glance.
Lin Boqin stepped forward to greet him, and after asking, he learned that he had come to find him.
"What are you looking for me?"
Feng He said in a deep voice: "I promised to protect Lord Lin in order to help the kindness of the past, and I will never forget it." ”
Lin Boqin moved from Qingyuan County to Wangzhou, so he also followed.
Upon learning of this, Lin Boqin was a little moved and bowed his hand to him: "Feng Daxia is a promise, I admire him very much." ”
"My lord, I've said many times, you can call me Feng He, and you don't need to be polite to me. We people in the rivers and lakes should be chivalrous and righteous. Not to mention...... Lord Lin is a good official, and he is willing to serve you willingly. ”
Chu Cheng stroked her palms with satisfaction: "Husband, I'll just say that Feng Daxia is very reliable, you leave this matter to him to do, and ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
Feng Heneng and Xiao Xuan are brothers, and their martial arts are naturally strong, so they can deal with mountain bandits and the like. It's a pity that this guy doesn't treat herself very well, otherwise she really wants to learn from him to see if his thin sword is powerful, or her golden silk soft sword is superior.
Lin Boqin hesitated for a moment, then invited Feng He to a hidden teahouse, took out the porcelain vase, and explained what had happened.
Feng He took the porcelain vase, but he solemnly hugged Lin Boqin: "Lord Lin is clear and clear, not afraid of power, and he really didn't look away." ”
would rather gamble on official career and official fortune, but also find out the real culprit for a woman he didn't know, which Feng He admired.
"Passing the prize."
Lin Boqin was praised in person, but in the end, he was a little shallow.
He was so indescribably cute, Chu Ji couldn't help but shake his hand secretly under the table.
Lin Boqin was stunned, and then couldn't help but glance at her.
The two of them flirted there, Feng He was not blind, he looked at Chu Hui, he never had a good face, he didn't know what to think, he frowned at Lin Boqin and said, "Lord Lin, in fact, your lady ......."
Chu Cheng was shocked in her heart, and her eyes suddenly shot towards him like electricity.
Feng He saw her eyes, and thought of Xiao Xuan again, but he sighed and didn't say anything.
Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this, looked at Chu Cheng, and said suspiciously: "Feng He, what do you want to say?" ”
Feng He's long, narrow and cold eyes swirled around Chu Cheng's body. Then Dao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said perfunctorily: "I just wanted to say that your lady seems to have gained weight again." ”
“……”
The corners of Chu Hui's mouth twitched, Feng He, if you don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person.
Anyway, Feng He of course agreed to this errand, and immediately took the porcelain vase, left Wangzhou on horseback, and rushed to Qingyuan County overnight.
Taking advantage of Feng He's failure to come back, Lin Boqin handled trivial matters in the government office step by step.
But at night, there is always a man standing in front of the house, preparing a hot meal, waiting for him to return home.
In the past, Lin Boqin lived in the county government at any time, and it didn't matter if he returned to the cold mansion or not; But now with Chu Hui, everything is different.
He likes to read and write under the lamp, and Chu Cheng stood at the table to study the ink, and when the wick was burning, she took scissors and gently cut off the lamp; Late at night, she pushed him into the room shyly and enthusiastically, grinding her ears and temples, and walking happily.
This night was the same again.
Lin Boqin was reading a book, and Chu Cheng was sitting on a stool playing with his hands.
His hands were well-proportioned, and his fingers were slender and clean. The joints of the pen grip are a little calloused, and they feel a little dry and rough to the touch.
More leaks.
"Husband, it's time to go to bed."
Chu Cheng drew circles in his palm, and his cheeks were a little red from the light.
Lin Boqin raised his head from the scroll and said with a smile: "You go to sleep first." ”
"Nope."
Chu Cheng thought that Yu Wenyi had said that if a man doesn't act for an hour or two, it's not good. But Lin Boqin had never been with her for so long, so he was vaguely suspicious. The most important thing is that she wants to have a child with him soon, so that when she returns to Beijing, she will have no worries.
Chu Ji took his hand and rubbed his face: "Husband, it's not early." ”
"Husband, it's time to rest."
"Husband, Boqin, admiration~"
She meowed there like a kitten, Lin Boqin laughed, closed the book, pulled her up and walked to the next door of the study, entered the house and closed the door.
Xidui and Mabi, who had been sleeping across the hospital for several days, looked at the intimate silhouette of the two reflected in the window, and wiped away tears with emotion.
"Madame and Dr. are like husband and wife at all."
Twilight sighed there.
Mabi couldn't help but say: "That morning, Madame was still asleep, and I saw that the doctor kissed Madame when he left." ”
Xi Dui held her face with relief and nodded, "It's so good-"
***
When Chu Cheng woke up the next day, she was very sore again.
It seems that she is really not suitable for this job, it is really more strenuous than learning martial arts.
Lin Boqin had already gone to the mansion, and the bed next to him was empty.
Now that the weather has warmed up, Chu Cheng is wearing a thinner one, she tied her belt, touched her waist, and she was really plump, and her face was like a vegetable.
Sure enough, if life is in honey, people will be blessed.
Chu Cheng didn't dare to eat anymore at the moment, she asked Xi Du to take the house slave to the vegetable market to buy a bunch of cabbage and radish, that night, she only prepared a plate of green vegetables and a bowl of white radish soup, planning to Lin Boqin to come back, she wanted to nest in his arms and tell the pain of gaining weight.
But what she didn't expect was that Lin Boqin didn't come back alone.
He also took Feng He with him.
Feng He originally refused to come to Lin Mansion because he didn't like Chu Cheng.
But Lin Boqin repeatedly said that the dinner at home was very rich, and the chef he invited to cook the dishes was delicious, and he sincerely invited Feng He to be a guest at home. As a result, the two came back, but it was a shabby meal that could not be shabby.
Chu Cheng also knew that the hospitality was not good, so she hurriedly asked Xi Dusk to remove the table and start the pot again.
When Feng He heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Mrs. Lin doesn't have to bother, just two things, I'll leave after I finish it." ”
He took out the porcelain vase from his bosom and put it on the table: "According to Dr. Xu, this is a highly poisonous poison called 'ruthless', which is refined with poisons such as arsenic, crane top red, and throat sealing, and can only be bought in gambling houses in Qingyuan County. ”
"Gambling house?"
"There are only gambling houses in Qingyuan County." Feng He indifferently retried it once, and briefly told the origin of the poison.
To refine "ruthless", there is a herb that only grows in Qingyuan County, and this poison was originally developed by Dr. Xu's classmates. His classmates sold prescriptions to a gambling house owner and later died. It is said that he did too many sins to die young, but it is not known how it actually was. In any case, this highly toxic drug called "ruthless" was circulated in the gambling houses of Qingyuan County, claiming to be free for those gamblers who gambled and went bankrupt.
The origin of the poison has nothing to do with this case, Lin Boqin frowned, and asked directly: "Can you find out who bought 'Ruthless' in the gambling house?" ”
Feng He nodded and replied in a deep voice: "It is the prefect of Wangzhou, Chen Ziyang." He personally went to the gambling house to buy it during the last Cai Gaoyi case. ”
The owner of the gambling house refused to say it at first, if Feng He hadn't pointed a sword at his head, he wouldn't have heard the news.
Kill your wife and help your aunt.
It is indeed a very common case.
It's just that the murderer is the current Wangzhou parent official, which is tricky.
However, it was not only this matter that was tricky, Feng He took out another thing from his arms, and the words he said made Lin Boqin and Chu Cheng stunned!
"This is the silver given by Governor Chen when he bought poison at that time."
A silver ingot, lying in Feng He's palm.
The silver ingots are exactly ten taels, which is exactly ...... Official silver after the fire is consumed.
