The rain stopped, the heavy dark clouds gradually dispersed, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone on the earth.

In the swaying carriage, Lin Yueying, who had been asleep for a long time, slowly opened her eyes, and at a glance saw Chu Lin, who was looking down at her with her head down.

Chu Lin stroked Lin Yueying's sideburns, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his red lips raised slightly: "Awake?" ”

Chu Lin's usual gentleness made Lin Yueying dare not look directly, she looked away, and asked, "How is Cousin Zhuoer?" ”

Chu Lin's four fingers of his left hand stroked Lin Yueying's sideburns over and over again: "Very good, she also asked me to tell you to take care of your injuries." ”

"Then Cousin Ruodi doesn't have anything to ask?"

"I want to come. Qi Shibo also wanted to ask, but they saw that you were so badly injured, so they planned to talk about it in two days. ”

Lin Yueying's lower lip was pressed against her upper lip, and she was still trembling slightly, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't say anything for a long time.

First Lin Jinzhuo, then Lin Yuelang, then herself, and now Qi Zhuoer, she really doesn't know who it will be next time.

Lin Yueying's pupils were dim, the last time she did this was more than a year ago.

Chu Lin was not worried that Lin Yueying would cause trouble to himself, what he was most worried about was that Lin Yueying always hid in his heart when he encountered something, adding wounds to himself.

Chu Lin continued to caress Lin Yueying's sideburns and tried to comfort her: "The second aunt has already found someone to investigate this matter, if it goes well, it won't take long to get results." As for you, don't think about anything when you go back, get a good night's sleep. ”

Lin Yueying did not reply.

Chu Lin said again: "What this person did this time completely violated our bottom line, no matter who the other party is, we will not let it go." Just in case ......"

Chu Lin touched Lin Yueying's sideburns, touched Lin Yueying's ear, and touched the earlobe along the ear: "Before you get married, let Shuchen follow you." ”

Lin Yueying still didn't reply, her silence made Chu Lin feel a little less confident.

He withdrew his hand, not wanting to disturb Lin Yueying anymore, but when he withdrew his hand, Lin Yueying also turned over and lay on Chu Lin's side, buried his face in Chu Lin's stomach, and gently grabbed Chu Lin's back with his left hand pressed on his body.

Lin Yueying suddenly showed weakness, which made Chu Lin cry and laugh.

In the night sky after the rain, the dark clouds did not disperse, and the water droplets on the tiles fell into the puddles, breaking the reflection of Yuan Cheng reflected on the water.

The flying bird landed silently behind Yuan Cheng: "Childe." ”

Yuan Cheng, who was sitting on the windowsill, looked into the distance, pursed his lips slightly, and then asked, "How is it?" ”

"Feiyan said that Mrs. Fan is fine, but Miss Yueying ......"

When she was in Qiuluoyuan, Lin Yueying was already injured, and now Asuka really didn't know what to say.

"Say!"

Asukia's hesitation made Yuan Cheng, who was anxious to know the situation, unable to wait, and Asuka could only continue to answer: "Feiyan said that Miss Yueying was too anxious when she went out, and the horse she was riding was not well controlled, so she was really anxious, and jumped off the horse directly, and now one of her legs and one hand have fallen and bruised." ”

Yuan Cheng's left hand, which was originally resting on the knee of his right leg, clenched his fist slightly, still looking into the distance: "This is her temperament." ”

Feiyu suddenly appeared: "This Lin Yueying is really bold, she is not afraid of falling without arms and legs?" ”

Yuan Cheng raised his lips shallowly: "In that case, if she gets off the horse slowly, then she won't be Lin Yueying!" ”

"Really. To be honest, I don't like Lin Yueying very much, but I appreciate her spirit of not being afraid of anything! ”

"Aren't you afraid of anything......"

"That's right! Fortunately, Lin Yueying is not an enemy here, if she is an enemy......"

Feiyu said to himself, completely ignoring the subtle changes in Yuan Cheng's face.

Asuka looked at Yuan Cheng, who was originally full of smiles, but now there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Chu Lin, who turned back to Qiuluo Garden, surveyed the corpses in the house with the Lin father and son.

After the three of them examined the dozen or so corpses one by one, the following conversation emerged.

Chu Lin, who was standing next to the door, said: "The deaths of these people are not the same, it seems that they were injured by Yuan Cheng's Mo Lan inside and outside the door, they were injured by a sharp sword around the door, and a little bit more inside and outside the house, but they were injured by another weapon, and some were even poisoned. It can be seen that in addition to Yuan Cheng, there are other people. ”

This made Lin Jinzhuo strange: "But Luo Sha said that Yueying was in a hurry to go out, and she didn't call anyone at all." ”

"Father forgot?"

Lin Yuelang reminded: "There are birds and flying fish beside Yuan Cheng. ”

Chu Lin had only seen the bird once, and the bird didn't mention his name to Chu Lin at that time, so Lin Yuelang suddenly mentioned the bird, he didn't remember who the bird was, but the names of the bird and the bird were only one word different from the name of the bird, which couldn't help but remind him of the two people he saw in the curling courtyard last year.

Chu Lin took a cursory look at the corpse on the ground again: "If these people were injured by the birds and fish in your mouth, then who were the people on the periphery?" And who poisoned it? ”

Since Yuan Cheng is here to save people, it is not surprising that he brought a few more people. Moreover, since my sister didn't have time to call people at that time, she naturally didn't have time to feed them poison, it is very likely that they prepared poison in advance, and if they didn't succeed, they would become benevolent! ”

Lin Yuelang's answer was not leaky, but Chu Lin still felt that there was something wrong.

Yuan Cheng has always only brought two people with flying birds and flying fish, and there has never been a third person, the reason why Lin Yuelang said this is nothing more than that he didn't want Lin Jinzhuo to worry about Lin Yueying, as for whether Chu Lin was worried or not, Lin Yuelang didn't care much.

Chu Lin asked again: "The flying birds and flying fish you just said are a family with Feiyan, so why don't they use soft gold bell whips instead, but use swords?" ”

"The people of the Luo family have already appeared, and the birds do not use soft gold bell whips, which shows that they are deliberately hiding their identities."

"Hide your identity ......"

What Lin Yuelang said was not unreasonable, after all, the other party was under He Hao's hands, and without complete preparation, it was impossible for the Fei family and the Yuan Mansion to directly compete with He Hao.

Lin Jinzhuo did not participate in the discussion, and continued to speculate about the case this time: "It seems that these people are still prepared. So why exactly do they do it? ”

Chu Lin and Lin Yuelang, who still had questions and answers just now, are speechless now.

Lin Jinzhuo asked the first step forward: "Sir, what clues do you have?" ”

He wiped his hands with a handkerchief and shook his head: "These people don't have anything other than weapons and hidden weapons that can prove their identity. However, their corpses are strong and their hands are thick with calluses, even the tiger's mouth, which shows that they are professional killers. ”

"Professional killer ......"

Lin Jinzhuo's already deeply furrowed brows wrinkled even deeper......

The night after the rain was biting cold, and a vigorous figure gently landed on the railing on the second floor of Gu Rabbit Pavilion.

Feiyan hugged her hands and sat on the floor next to the wall, not looking at anyone, so she asked, "If you don't go back with Lin Gongzi, what are you doing here alone?" ”

The man slowly crouched down, and the faint moonlight shone on his face, which was Shuchen.

Feiyan has always been cold to Shuchen, and Shuchen is used to it, so he replied with a hippie smile: "Childe originally wanted to come to see Miss Yueying, but he was stopped by Yuelang Gongzi, saying that within three months before getting married, the newcomers couldn't meet, so they wouldn't let Childe in, but just after this happened, Childe was not at ease, so let me come...... Protect Miss Yueying with you. ”

Shuchen suddenly changed his words, firstly, he was afraid of hurting Feiyan's face, and secondly, he simply wanted to be close to Feiyan.

Feiyan didn't take Shuchen's Xiao Jiujiu to heart: "Young Master Chu is quite attentive. ”

"That's it."

Shuchen tiptoed down from the railing, and quietly came to Feiyan and sat down: "I went to Qiuluoyuan to see, those people were injured by swords, and the prince of Yuelang said that the birds and fishes were hiding their identities." Why, aren't you sure you can win against those surnamed Luo? ”

Feiyan opened her eyes and looked into the distance: "It's not that we're not sure, it's just that we haven't found the other party's stronghold yet, and we don't have much information, and the other party is still in the Lingyun Palace, if you want to move them, you must have a thorough preparation!" ”

"Yes, after all, the Yuan Mansion is also involved."

The affairs of the two families, and Shuchen, who can't be beaten by the eight poles, can't help much, but what he cares about is: "What about Miss Yueying?" ”

Now Lin Yueying is already standing with Qi Yu, except for He Hao, and she also told Yuan Heng that she wants to take the lead for Yuan Heng. Feiyan knew her courage, but Feiyan still didn't want her to be in danger, but Lin Yueying didn't have any plans to tell Chu Lin about this matter.

Feiyan replied: "Now the other party already knows that the master has a relationship with my Fei family, and the master is afraid that he has been targeted by the other party." ”

Why did those people target Lin Yueying, Shuchen knew in his heart that this was what he was most worried about, but what he couldn't figure out was why Lin Yueying used herself as bait, and what was the purpose of what she did?

The next day, He Li was practicing calligraphy, his expression was still as dull as before, but when he mentioned it at the last time, I don't know if he didn't grasp the strength, and the residual ink on the pen actually threw him in the face.

A few days later, Yuan Heng, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out the window and said, "On one side is Lin Jinzhuo, on the other side is Fan Liaochen, and on the other side is Qi Tingling, I really don't know which idiot is going to offend the three of them at the same time!" ”

Yuan Heng said, and then asked Yuan Cheng: "Do you know who it is?" ”

Yuan Cheng shook his head: "Cheng'er didn't check, and there is no news from Feiyan's side, so it can be seen that they haven't found anything now." ”

Yuan Cheng's answer surprised Yuan Heng a little, Lin Yueying was injured like that, he was indifferent!

Yuan Heng asked again: "You were also present at the time, did Lin Jinzhuo or Lin Yueying let you go to the court?" ”

"Master Lin and Cheng'er had passed in advance before, and Tong Renfang, who was in charge of this case yesterday, also asked Master Tong to find Cheng'er, and asked Cheng'er to go to the criminal department on a cloudy day."

"Tong Renfang."

Yuan Heng repeated the name, and Yuan Cheng continued: "This Tong Master has always been a maverick, and he doesn't seem to belong to one of the three major factions. ”

Yuan Heng explained: "Indeed, Tong Renfang and Chen Guangnian are fellow villagers, one scholar and one martial arts, and they entered the court at the same time, and they are what people call honest and honest officials, this case is tried by him, and the appointment is fair and just, but whether you can find the person behind the scenes, it depends on his ability!" ”

The person who can provoke Lin Yueying and Qi Tingling at the same time, no matter how Yuan Cheng thinks about it, he feels that the other party is not simple.

"Then my father thinks that if the other party is really a big man, will Master Tong enforce the law impartially?"

"Then it depends on what he thinks!"

Yuan Heng's tone was aggravated on this "he", which shows that the "he" in Yuan Heng's mouth does not refer to Tong Renfang.

"You ......"

Yuan Cheng was still thinking about it, Yuan Heng continued to say, but after saying a word, he stopped talking: "Forget it, go home." ”

Yuan Heng's desire to speak stopped again, making Yuan Cheng, who was already thinking about things, even more confused.

The next day, outside the door of the lobby of the Criminal Department, Shu Chen instructed Lin Yueying over and over again: "Miss Yueying doesn't have to be nervous after she goes in, whatever the Tong adults ask, you just need to answer truthfully." ”

"Hmm."

"I don't know if Gongzi Yuelang did it on purpose, just don't let Gongzi come over, but you don't have to worry, in addition to Master Lin, Gongzi Luo, and Gongzi Yuelang, Master Fan and Master Qi are also here, and Master Tong will never say anything serious."

"Hmm."

"What's more, Mrs. Fan Shao is unable to move, so she didn't come over, Master Tong gave permission, and her cousin came over, and he will go through the hall with you."

Lin Yueying, who was still careless just now, as soon as she heard Shuchen mention Qi Zhuoer, her heart rose to her throat, she was busy looking at Shuchen, but when she saw Fan Ruodi, who was really good to come out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, she immediately trotted over: "Shuchen said that Cousin Ruodi will replace Zhuoer's cousin to come out of the court, what's the matter, Zhuoer's cousin hasn't recuperated yet?" ”

Fan Ruodi saw that Lin Yueying was so anxious Qi Zhuoer, and couldn't bear to blame her: "Didn't the doctor say that day, it's okay." But the elders of the family were afraid that Zhuo Er would have another accident, so they didn't let her come, and I came, and Tong also agreed. ”

"That's good, that's good."

In the end, this matter started because of her Lin Yueying, if Qi Zhuoer really had something, Lin Yueying would be uneasy in her life.

"I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out."

Just as Lin Yueying was relaxed, Yuan Cheng's voice came from behind her, and the three of them looked in the direction where the voice came from at the same time, and happened to see Yuan Cheng walking towards them.

Lin Yueying didn't say anything to Yuan Cheng: "Can't figure out what? ”

Yuan Cheng stopped in front of Lin Yueying, but looked at Shu Chen, and said, "What I can't figure out is why there is such a frivolous person next to Chu Lin's stuffy gourd?" ”

When Lin Yueying first saw Shuchen, Shuchen rarely spoke, and she really didn't pay attention to when Shuchen became so talkative.

Lin Yueying looked back at Shuchen and agreed with Yuan Cheng's statement: "Don't say it, it's true." ”

It doesn't matter what Yuan Cheng commented on himself, but Lin Yueying also teased herself like this, and Shuchen was unbalanced: "Miss Yueying, why are you making fun of me?" ”

Lin Yueying didn't reply, but looked at Yuan Cheng and smiled.

On the edge of the lobby of the Criminal Department, Fan Liaochen and others sat together.

Qi Tingling asked: "How is this Tong Renfang's investigation case?" ”

Lin Jinzhuo replied: "I met him when I went to Qiuluo Garden that day, he investigated carefully, and did not miss anything, it should be something extraordinary." ”

Qi Tingling asked again: "I heard that he did not join one of the three major factions. ”

Fan Liaochen: "Yes, so far it is still a neutral. ”

"Neutral ......"

Qi Tingling repeated this novel word.

Every new student, after seeking an official position, is bound to choose a faction that will help them in their future, and there are very few people who can gain a firm foothold in the court on their own.

Seeing that Qi Tingling was still worried, Fan Liaochen kindly reminded: "It's good, people like him are not afraid of offending people, and they can help us find the people behind the scenes." ”

"That couldn't be better......"

Qi Tingling said so, but he was still worried, after all, no one knew what happened to this matter.

Luo Shaoqing, who came with the three of them, listened to the words of the three of them, and he could guess who would do this kind of thing, but he had no evidence.

In the back hall, Tong Renfang unhurriedly sorted out the clothes on her body, turned around and asked Chen Guangnian, who suddenly visited: "I said, why did you suddenly come to me today?" ”

Chen Guangnian leaned on the door, looked out with a probe, and replied, "It's nothing, I just want to come and see this Lin Yueying." ”

"Look at Lin Yueying? Does Chu Lin know? ”

"I just want to see what kind of person she is, and it's not the idea of beating her, does Chu Lin know what it matters? It's ...... you."

Chen Guangnian looked back at Tong Renfang: "What is the outcome of this case?" ”

"What the result is, it depends on what Lin Yueying says!"

"What do you mean?"

Tong Renfang didn't answer again, flicked his sleeves behind him, and walked out.

Tong Renfang, who was sitting on the top of the high hall, looked at Lin Yueying and the three people standing under the hall with low eyebrows, and He Li, who had just arrived, slapped the hall hard, and asked, "Who is in the hall?" Get your name in! ”

The sound of the startling wood echoed in the entire hall of the Criminal Department, Yuan Cheng and Fan Ruodi did not move at all, but Lin Yueying was startled.

After the four of them answered one by one, Tong Renfang asked what happened again......

Tong Renfang listened to the statements of the three of them, and roughly explained the situation: "Young Mrs. Fan was kidnapped with her front foot, and she notified Lin Yueying with her back foot, and Yuan Gongzi also followed Lin Yueying to Qiuluo Garden. ”

Tong Renfang asked Lin Yueying: "Just you?" ”

Lin Yueying replied: "The matter is urgent, and Yueying has no time to inform others." ”

"It's ...... urgent"

Tong Renfang repeated Lin Yueying's words, and then asked He Li: "Second son, I heard that Qiuluoyuan is the courtyard of Lingtang, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Although that courtyard belongs to my mother's, He Li has never been back since he entered the Lingyun Palace, and there is no one to take care of that place, so naturally anyone who wants to enter it can do it, and I only found out about this matter the next day."

Tong Renfang didn't ask He Li again, although when he was surveying Qiuluoyuan, he did see He Li hurrying over.

Tong Renfang asked Lin Yueying again: "Can you bring the note you just said?" ”

"Brought ......"

Lin Yueying hesitated and took out the note.

An errand officer took the note from Lin Yueying's hand and handed it to Tong Renfang.

Tong Renfang glanced at the note, and the solemnity on his face was a little more angry, but it was only for a moment.

Tong Renfang put down the note and asked again: "Mrs. Fan was tied up, why is it not Fan Gongzi who is looking for?" Not Lord Qi? Is it you Lin Yueying? And you, Yuan Gongzi, why did you follow Lin Yueying to save people? ”

Tong Renfang looked at Lin Yueying, Lin Yueying shook her head and said she didn't know, and Yuan Cheng replied: "Yueying's people came to tell me, and I followed it." ”

Tong Renfang asked Lin Yueying again: "The deaths of the people who took away Mrs. Fan are not the same, and some are even poisoned, but you tortured to extract a confession?" ”

"It's not!"

Lin Yueying vetoed: "I originally wanted to ask those who were captured alive, who instructed them to do it, who knew that they put medicine in their mouths in advance, and they would die with one bite!" ”

"It seems that those people will become benevolent if they don't succeed!"

Tong Renfang sighed and continued to ask: "Then who did you and Mrs. Fan offend at the same time?" ”

Lin Yueying has offended people, but she doesn't know who she offended at the same time as Qi Zhuoer.

Lin Yueying shook her head and said that she didn't know, even Fan Ruodi said: "Zhuoer treats people kindly, never quarrels with others, she can't offend anyone!" ”

"People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and they have different dreams when they share the same bed!"

Tong Renfang's unscrupulous words angered Fan Ruodi: "What did you say? ”

Fan Ruodi, who was enraged, wanted to argue with Tong Renfang when he went up, but fortunately, he was dragged by Lin Yueying, so he didn't continue to get close to Tong Renfang.

Now in addition to Fan Ruodi and Yuan Cheng, there is also Qi Ting who ordered them to be present, why is Tong Renfang so unscrupulous?

Tong Renfang continued to ask Lin Yueying: "I heard that you Lin Yueying has encountered many assassinations since she left Lin County, dare to ask whether it is a wave of people or several waves of people?" ”

Tong Renfang asked again, and Lin Yueying didn't want to answer.

Lin Yueying replied: "Xu is a three-wave ......"

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. The first wave, that is, the first, the person with the tattoo on his face, first found someone to assassinate me when I left Linxian; Later, he was in Yuke, and he assassinated me twice; And the second wave are those who want to assassinate me in the previous mansion of my Lin Mansion; And the other day it was the third wave. ”

Lin Yueying's answer made Lin Yuelang a little surprised, especially the time in Lin County, it was the first time he had heard of it.

Tong Renfang: "Are you sure these three waves are not the same wave?" ”

Lin Yueying: "It's unlikely. ”

"How?"

"First, the mountain bandit Yin who assassinated me when he left Lin County did say that what they did was to make them a person with a tattoo on his face; And when I was in Yuke, I did see that person, and the important thing is that he was a person; And this second and third waves are several people, and these two groups of people use different weapons! ”

"Three waves of people, you have offended a lot of people."

Tong Renfang muttered and continued to ask: "Then tell me, who have you offended?" ”

"If I have to say that I have offended anyone, it is the Lord of Lilan and He Wei, who has been beheaded."

Before Lin Yueying answered this question, she was a little hesitant, after all, that person was He Yan, and Lin Yueying was not sure whether to move her first.

"Lord Lilan, you are really good at picking people!"

Tong Renfang muttered again: "Apart from these two people, there is nothing else?" ”

If there were really others, there would only be Qi Yungu and Liu Shiling, but Lin Yueying felt that more was better than less, and the two of them would not be able to do so.

Lin Yueying shook her head again: "No." ”

"Then do you have any evidence that Yin was done by Lord Lilan?"

"Nope."

"Then you're falsely accused!"
