Their conversation fell into Chu Cheng's ears word for word. Chu Cheng looked at the candied fruit box in her hand and couldn't help but laugh at herself.

It turns out that I actually misjudged him? What is the breeze and bright moon, not afraid of power, in fact, because there has been no chance?

Through the sedan curtain, Chu Cheng thought that in the past, Lin Boqin also told her that he studied hard and had ambitions in his heart. But...... This ambition is the price of her affection, and she can't bear it.

Chu Cheng bit her lip flap to make her mood as calm as possible.

The woman's cold voice came out clearly from the sedan chair: "Lord Lin, I have been bothering you to take care of the palace for a long time, and the palace has a sentence that I want to say to you alone." ”

Lin Boqin had never heard Chu Cheng speak in such a tone, but seeing that Huo Ying and Qin Gaodu next to him looked as usual, he was slightly stunned before he walked to the window of the sedan chair.

Through the gauze curtain, you can just see Chu Hui's delicate side face under the pearl emerald.

He bowed and saluted, "Princess, please." ”

Chu Cheng raised her hand, took out the peony flower silver hairpin from her sideburns, and rubbed it in her hand.

It's as if I'm reminiscing about something, and now, these nostalgia is not worth mentioning after all.

"Lord Lin, in the past, this palace was ignorant and bothered you. All the past, please don't keep it in mind, when you see it today, you will say goodbye. Chu Cheng choked slightly, she pinched the peony flower silver hairpin with her bare hands, and stretched out from the window, "This hairpin...... Hongu returned you. ”

Lin Boqin looked at the silver hairpin in her hand, stunned on the spot, and didn't take it for a long time.

"Sister-in-law......" he wanted to say, it was actually a misunderstanding before.

"Presumptuous!" Chu Cheng scolded him, "You can also call the name of this palace?" ”

A presumptuous sound made Lin Boqin suddenly come back to his senses.

She is the bright moon in the sky, how dare he think about it, how dare he offend? What if the misunderstanding is resolved? He didn't deserve to be with her after all.

Lin Boqin smiled bitterly, only to feel that the silver hairpin was particularly dazzling in the light. He suppressed the pain in his heart and closed his eyes: "There is no reason to take back this hairpin when it is sent." If the princess doesn't want to ...... And he threw it away. ”

When Chu Ji heard this, her eyes were hot, and the tip of her nose was sore.

Thinking of the grievances he has suffered in the past few days, now this person is still unable to eat the past, and he will not keep it at all. Thinking of this, Chu Cheng was so angry that she raised her hand and smashed the silver hairpin at him, crying: "Lin Boqin, I hate you!" ”

He is very rigid and old-fashioned, and hates his stubbornness!

The silver hairpin smashed Lin Boqin's forehead with a "dang" sound, and blood flowed down his eyebrow bone.

Lin Boqin didn't wipe it, he stood there, his head bowed, like an inconspicuous petty official, sending off the emperor's relatives.

Qin Gao Huo Ying couldn't hear the conversation between the two, but seeing that Chu Cheng was angry, he immediately ordered the sedan chair bearer to set off. That Qin Gao passed by Lin Boqin's side, glared at him viciously, and threatened: "You know you're scared, right?" You treat the princess harshly, she hates you to the core, and when you return to Beijing, you will wait to be punished by her! ”

Lin Boqin looked at the luxurious sedan chair in the distance and was silent.

Is it?

On the contrary, he really hoped that she could be condemned, at least, to prove that she still had him in her heart.

Love it or hate it.

Thinking of what Chu Cheng said before, "See you today, don't say goodbye", he is in Wangzhou, I am afraid that there will be no time to go to Beijing in this life......

Gu Jingtong came over at this time, took out a brocade handkerchief from his arms and gave it to him, and sighed: "Wipe the bloodstains, don't be so embarrassed." ”

The figures of Huo Ying and the others have gone farther and farther, and Lin Boqin has seen it far away, but he can no longer see the familiar figure. After a long time, he took the handkerchief handed by Gu Jingtong, gently wiped his forehead, and found that the blood had coagulated.

The peony flower silver hairpin on the ground, under the sunlight, is bright and refracted with light.

Lin Boqin stepped forward, bent down to pick it up, and then carefully put it into his arms.

***

The newly moved Lin Mansion is already not small, but now that Xi Dusk is gone, Chu Ji is also gone, and there are only a few miscellaneous slaves at home, which is deserted.

Lin Boqin returned to his former appearance, staying in the mansion and unwilling to return home.

Since Chu Cheng left, he ...... Where is home again?

Ye Fangxuan was shocked when she learned that Chu Cheng was actually Chu Cheng, the princess of Huarong in the current dynasty.

She came to Lin Boqin once and said something shameless, Lin Boqin was disgusted, and said to her: "Now that I provoke the princess, the court will blame me soon, if you are not afraid, you will come to the palace to find me all the time." ”

When Ye Fangxuan heard about this, she asked the maid Qingmei to find out that the princess had indeed smashed Lin Boqin's head with a hairpin before leaving, and she was trembling with fright, and she never dared to come to the mansion again, for fear of being implicated.

Old man Li doesn't care about princesses or princesses, he only cares about the murderer of his daughter.

Even if Lin Boqin felt uncomfortable, he had to force himself to cheer up and avenge the deceased.

But Li Siniang's case is too paradoxical.

Not only is there no human evidence, but there is also very little physical evidence, and even the murder weapon dagger is also something that can be bought everywhere on the street.

On this day, Lin Boqin was looking at Li Siniang's embroidered shoes.

The bottom of the shoe was cut on both sides, and a note with the words "The one who killed me is Jade Xuanji" was stuffed into the left sole. Of course, it can't be Yu Xuanji who killed people, because Yu Xuanji is Chu Ji, and Chu Ji is a princess, she has already left and will never come back......

Hu Yu looked in from outside the door and saw that the adults of his family were distracted again, and he couldn't help sighing.

In the past, adults were distracted, and they were thinking about the case, but now? But I think about my wife every day.

When I see the threshold, the adults will be distracted, because the threshold of the government is higher than that of the county government, and the lady will stumble every time she comes; When I see a roadside stall, I will also be fascinated, because the lady likes to pull the adults to let him taste them together; Or when he saw Gu Jing and Yang La, each of them, the adults would be distracted, and I don't know what old things reminded him.

"Your Excellency."

Hu Yu stood for a while, and couldn't help but raise his hand and knock on the door.

Lin Boqin raised his head, put down the embroidered shoes in his hand, and said, "What clues are there?" ”

Hu Yu took out a brown paper bag from his arms and said busily: "A few lowly people, look upstream along the Qinglan River where the body was found, and really find something." He unfolded the vellum paper, "Your Excellency, please look at it." ”

a pinch of powder, and a stick of ...... Thin strips of soft tan color.

"What is this?"

Before Hu Yu could answer, the light at the door dimmed, and Feng He walked in.

He knew that because of his advice and advice, Lin Boqin had always been a little estranged from him recently. He knew that he had misunderstood Chu Cheng, and he was also very guilty, so he worked day and night to help Lin Boqin solve the case as soon as possible.

Feng He pointed to the black powder and said, "This is a hidden weapon called 'Thunderball', which is the ash produced after burning. ”

"What is a thunderball?"

Feng He explained: "The thunderball is filled with sulfur, charcoal, yellow phosphorus, gunpowder and other substances, and when you throw it on the ground, it will explode and produce a lot of smoke. This kind of hidden weapon can only be used once and the price is extremely expensive, and few people can afford to use it. ”

Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this, he looked at the powder again, and asked, "What do you mean, there is an official government or a wealthy businessman who wants to kill Li Siniang?" ”

Feng Hedao: "I'm not sure, but the person who killed Li Siniang is definitely not small." ”

Lin Boqin groaned slightly, picked up the soft brown strip again, and wondered, "What is this?" ”

Feng He didn't answer immediately, he took out a bottle of Jianghu that had been prepared a long time ago from his arms, smeared it on the brownish brown thin strip, and then stuck it on his face, and a lifelike scar about three inches long appeared.

"Lord Lin, this thing is used for disguise." After Feng He finished demonstrating, he took the thing off, "But I don't know if the person who killed Li Siniang wants to change his appearance, or Li Siniang wants to change his appearance." ”

He added: "Whether it's the thunderball or this disguised scar, it's all only found in the capital." ”

Lin Boqin and Hu Yu were stunned when they heard this.

Capital?

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the emperor's relatives and relatives are either rich or expensive. And Feng He said that the person who can use the thunderball secret weapon must not be an ordinary person, which means that there is a very powerful big man who wants to kill Li Siniang!

But Li Siniang is just a widow, who did she provoke, and she couldn't even save her life if she fled to Wangzhou?

These two pieces of physical evidence are very important, Lin Boqin looked at Feng He, and bowed to him: "Thank you." ”

Feng He lowered his head a little embarrassed and clenched the thin sword in his hand: "My lord, I'm sorry for you." I shouldn't have been suspicious of Madame, I thought ......"

"Needless to say."

Lin Boqin's heart was sour, the matter had come to this point, what was the use of him blaming Feng He?

If his trust in her at that time was unbreakable, he would not be where she is today.
