Chapter 6 Lin Ji's inner ghost has been caught
In Kuang's mansion, a man dressed in white ran into Kuang Lone's study with a panicked expression.
As he ran, he shouted "Something happened!" Something happened! β
Kuang Lin threw away the map he was holding, grabbed the shoulder of the man in white, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" β
"I met the iron-headed brother in the thatched house yesterday, and he said that you caught a spy from a neighboring country, I have never seen it before, so I wanted to go and see it, but it was ......."
Hearing this, Kuang Lin knew that something was wrong, so he let go of the man and ran wildly towards the firewood room of the Guanren.
The man in white chased after him, panting and said:
"As soon as I went, I saw Brother Iron fainting outside the room, the lock of the door had been cut, and a man in black ran out of it......"
Kuang Lian's heart became more and more tight, and he didn't ask anything now, if he was allowed to die, it would really be difficult for the people behind him to find out.
He rushed to the firewood room, and sure enough, the iron head fell face down on the ground, and there were faint blood stains on the back of his head, as if he had been attacked by someone.
As soon as he entered the firewood room, he saw that the Shan thief was spitting blood from his mouth, the whites of his eyes were turned up, and Kuang Lin put two fingers on his pulse, which was already so small that it was difficult to perceive.
Before Kuang Xiao could open his mouth, he closed his eyes and died without leaving a word.
Kuang Lin rushed out of the firewood room again, and there was no suspicious person in sight, and he was so annoyed that he kicked the whole stack of firewood on the side.
The man in white who arrived at this time was anxious: "Brother, it's none of my business, brother!" I'm just curious to come and see ......."
Kuang Lian's deep eyes stayed on his face for a long time, and he said, "Fortunately, I arrived quickly, and the thief left a word." β
"Really? Am I helping my brother? β
The sweaty face of the man in white showed joy, and he grabbed the corner of Kuang Lian's robe tightly and asked.
Seeing this, Kuang Lin patted his head lightly, and asked, "What do you see like the person rushing out of the firewood room?" β
The man let go of Kuang Lone's robe, frowned and recalled for a while before saying:
"As soon as I entered the courtyard, he rushed out of it, and he was too far away and his speed was too fast, I could only see that he was dressed in black and masked."
"yes, I see. Zhen'er, go back to the room, it's bloody inside, you're not in good health, it's better not to see it. β
In fact, the thief didn't leave a message, and what he said just now was that Kuang Lin was trying to deceive his brother-in-law.
After all, in this situation, it is no longer easy to trust anyone.
When Lin Zhuyun was rummaging through the cabinets to find his gold and silver jewelry, Kuang Lin brought the bad news.
"Miss, General Kuang is here, and he is already waiting in the main hall, it seems that he is looking for you in an urgent matter."
When Lin Zhuyun heard the news, he walked quickly to the main hall, and his heart was like a drum.
It's not early, he must have an emergency at this time, isn't there something wrong with the thief?
As soon as she entered the main hall, she saw Kuang Lin standing tall in the hall like a green pine, with a burly figure, and it seemed that the main hall of the Lin Mansion, which was originally very spacious, was slightly cramped at the moment.
His eagle eyes were a little blue and black, thinking that he hadn't slept well in the past few nights, his brows were furrowed, and the scar on his forehead seemed to be a little bigger.
Seeing Lin Zhuyun coming, he immediately clenched his fists and said: "Kuang is incompetent, he can't live up to the trust of the Lin Mansion, and he hasn't found any effective information yet, and the thief Fang Cai was poisoned and died." β
"How can it be poisoned?" Lin Zhuyun asked.
Kuang Lin scratched his head, and said helplessly: "I have been interrogating him day and night for the past few days, he didn't say a word at first, but then he couldn't stand it anymore, and said the Shan tribe he was loyal to. β
Saying that, Kuang Lin secretly glanced at Lin Zhuyun's eyes, and saw that she was not annoyed, but frowned thoughtfully.
He continued:
"I went back to my study to get a map of the Shan country so that he could identify the hiding place of their tribe. But as soon as I found the map, my cousin came to say that something had happened to the man's firewood room. β
When Lin Zhuyun heard the word "brother", he tried to recall in his mind whether this concubine of Kuang's mansion had colluded with the Shan State in his previous life.
"But when I hurried back, I saw that Iron Head was fainting outside the room, and the lock had been cut. The spy was spitting blood from his mouth when I rushed in, and he couldn't be saved. β
Lin Zhuyun's heart tightened, but he didn't expect to escape the carjacking, but the captives were still poisoned in Kuang's mansion.
"Did you arrange for the second son of Kuang Mansion to be guarded?"
"No, it was the iron head who told him yesterday that he knew, and today he just went to see it out of curiosity. I had tested him just now, and he seemed to be sure that it had been a chance encounter. β
Lin Zhuyun recalled for a long time that he had little contact with this Kuang Mansion concubine in his previous life.
I only know that he is weak, and he is not like Kuang Lin to practice martial arts and lead soldiers, but likes to go to some Goolan tile shops to learn some romantic styles.
"Zhen'er said that he saw a man in black coming out of the firewood room, but I went to inquire about the soldiers stationed outside the gates and walls of Kuang Mansion, and no suspicious person escaped."
"That'...... Is it someone from the house? β
Kuang Xiao nodded with a calm face.
Lin Zhuyun saw that Kuang Lin was depressed at the moment, and the general's tiger and tiger majesty was gone, so he comforted him:
"General Kuang, don't blame yourself, this is a thief and cunning, and we can't help it."
"You finally got me to do something, but I messed up, and I felt uncomfortable."
That Kuang Lin slammed his fist on the mahogany table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, and said with a sad face.
He looked like this, but Lin Zhuyun was happy in his heart, what kind of fool is this, it is not uncomfortable for a spy to be poisoned in the house, but it is uncomfortable because he didn't do her job well.
Lin Zhuyun thought for a moment and said, "General Kuang, if you really want to help me, I don't know if you want to do something else?" β
"Say!"
Kuang Leng's eyes suddenly lit up, if there was a tail behind him, he must be shaking happily at this moment.
"Lend me a hundred taels of silver, and pay you back in five days, the same interest as in the Lingcheng bank."
Kuang Lin didn't expect it to be borrowing money, and was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled and said:
"No need to say lend it, just give it to you, and I'll let someone from the house send it to your courtyard later."
"If there is no reactive power, the principal and interest must be repaid."
After finishing speaking, Lin Zhuyun hesitated, looked around, saw that no one could hear the conversation between the two, and then turned sideways and continued softly:
"General Kuang, there is one more matter, although I shouldn't take care of it, but I still want to say that you have to be careful of the dissident people in the house, he dares to harm the thief, but he doesn't dare to harm you."
Kuang Lin also said: "I didn't know before, but after what happened last night, I also knew that the wolf ambitious person dared to attack Kuang's mansion in a grand manner. β
"Did General Kuang think about who it was?"
Lin Zhuyun asked anxiously, she only knew that Kuang Lin was poisoned in her previous life and her body gradually failed, but she didn't know who it was.
Kuang Lin shook his head, he couldn't think of anyone in the mansion who would have different intentions.
Lin Zhuyun was worried in his heart, if he couldn't save Kuang Lone, then there would be no general stationed in Lingcheng, just like a papier-mΓ’chΓ© drum, it would break with a light blow, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The two thought for a long time and didn't figure out a clue, the hour was not early, so they could only send Kuang Lin away first.
At night, Lin Zhuyun lay on the carved mahogany bed, looking at the warm everything in the house through the bright moonlight reflected in the window.
The pine powder bean paste cake that Father Lin brought back from the dim sum shop on the main street was sweet and glutinous.
A box of jewelry that Mother Lin bought for her reflected the moonlight.
The maid Xiaotang was busy laying out the futon for her.
Lin Zhuyun muttered to himself: "In my previous life, I was willing to leave these behind and go with that negative person. β
Xiaotang on the side put down the bed curtain, "It's late at night, Miss, what are you talking about, I've been tired all day today, let's go to sleep quickly." β
Lin Zhuyun silently thought in his heart that he must keep all this, and gradually fell asleep.
After hearing the sound of her own young lady's long and continuous breathing after a while, Xiaotang withdrew from the inner room and lay down on his own small bed at the door of the outhouse, and kept whispering in her dream that Miss was so beautiful.
Two days later, the little guy who had been sent to follow the jade dealer returned.
"Miss, the vendor went to the third master's shop that night, and the shopkeeper Chen came to the third lady again to get the cards."
Sure enough, it was the third sister-in-law's family, Lin Zhuyun's face was crimson with anger, and his pink fists were clenched tightly.
"Miss, let go! What if this nail pierces the palm of your hand! Seeing this, Xiaotang hurriedly broke Lin Zhuyun's palm.
No wonder Lin Zhuyun is so angry, Lin Ji's reputation for jade carving has been resounding for decades, and it has always been maintained by selling only limited edition products that are excellent for all kinds of water carvings.
Each style is carefully designed according to the different characteristics of each piece of jade, and then carefully carved, not to say that it must be unique, but it is certainly a limited number of fine products.
Now that there are defective products with the same pattern flowing into the market, it is still under the banner of Lin Ji, which will inevitably ruin the reputation of Lin Ji's meticulous management.
And such a self-destructive thing was done by his own family, which made Lin Zhuyun angry.
"Xiaotang, change my clothes for me, I'm going to find Daddy in the shop on the main street."
Xiaotang took out a smoked pink Yunjin spring shirt, and quickly combed Lin Zhuyun into a hanging bun.
Duanxiu is simple but does not lose the cuteness of the little daughter's family, and Lin Zhuyun's palm-sized little face is even more cute.
When Lin Zhuyun arrived at the door of the shop, he pinched his little face and replaced his angry face with a well-behaved smile.
When I saw her father, I beat my legs and pinched my shoulders, and I was even more coquettish and made my old father's heart warm.
"You little girl, if you have anything to ask me for, let's talk about it quickly."
Master Lin knew his youngest daughter's routine well, and asked with a smile while holding the teacup.
"Hehe, it's still Daddy who knows his daughter, his daughter has long been in time, and she used to be really ignorant when she only played around, but now she wants to learn to manage things, and she wants to see how our Lin Ji jade carving business is doing."
Master Lin's teacup almost fell down without holding it steady, how did the little daughter, who always only likes to have fun, change her sex now?
"Are you still Lin Zhuyun, my daughter Yunyun?"
Lin Zhuyun puffed out his cheeks, puffed out like a white bun and said, "Daddy looks down on me!" I'm going to learn! β
"Good, good! Hurry up and take those account books from the previous months to the mansion and read them slowly, you can accompany the shopkeeper Song, and ask him if you don't understand Yunyun. β
Lin Zhuyun, who had been fighting for a day buried in the ledger, finally found what he was looking for.
She picked up the brush, dipped it in vermilion ink and circled it a few times, and double-checked it before putting it down.
The shopkeeper Song, whose hair and beard had already grayed, was also tired enough today, and he didn't know that this eldest lady was desperate to start studying.
Late at night, Lin Zhuyun fell asleep without even removing his hair bun.
Xiaotang took a hot cloth and gently wiped her face, and carefully took off the headdress before going back to the outer room to sleep.
