Let's go back to Lingyun.

He took the lord of Huanyu County and left Feiyun Villa overnight, and rushed to the direction of the capital in a hurry.

Feiyun Villa is only less than 100 miles away from the capital; At this time, the two of them were even more like arrows, and they walked in a hurry, so they arrived at a small town outside the capital in the afternoon of the next day.

It's just that the current situation is still very complicated; And with the current situation of the two, it is not appropriate to appear openly in front of the public.

Because almost everyone in the capital thought that the two of them were dead; Imagine, if the two suddenly appeared in public, then everyone would not be shocked, thinking that they were alive?

If it is used by some people with ulterior motives at this time, once the matter ferments, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Therefore, the first problem that Lingyun and Huanyu are facing now is: how to find a safe and reliable person in the capital, and he will introduce him to the emperor.

Then in front of the emperor, he explained the causes and consequences of what had happened in the past few days, so that the truth about the kidnapping of the county lord that day was revealed to the world.

is the only way to wash away the injustice that Lord Lu once suffered and save Lord Lu from prison; In order to return Lingyun, Huanyu and all the people involved in the case a justice and justice!

So in this way, in order not to attract the attention of others and cause some unnecessary trouble, Ling Yun and Huanyu disguised themselves, changed their appearances, and found an inn in a nearby remote place to settle down in a very low-key manner.

After dinner, the two sat at the table, facing the flickering candlelight, discussing the next step together.

Huanyu's bright eyes flickered, and he suddenly had an idea, "Brother Ling, why don't you go to our palace tonight to find the housekeeper Zhao Renyi for help, and then he will recommend me to see my father and explain what happened, and then make plans?" ”

Ling Yun frowned and groaned, "Zhao Renyi? Is this man reliable? ……”

Huanyu said confidently: "You just have to rest assured about this!" Steward Zhao has been with my father since he was young, and he has been in our palace longer than my age! He has a good personality, loyalty, integrity, and affection - in short, you can rest assured of his character! ”

Ling Yun met the firm and persistent gaze of the Lord of Huanyu, thought quietly for a while, and finally made up his mind.

His eyes flashed, and he nodded resolutely: "Okay!" According to the words of the county lord, I will go to the Jinling Mansion tonight to find him! ……”

Ling Yun is worthy of being the former commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and he is decisive and resolute. As long as he decides something, he will do it immediately, and he will never drag it out.

After dinner that night, Ling Yun returned to his room and neatly changed into a tight-fitting black night suit; In order to be more proper, he covered it with a black scarf; Then he raised his hand and grabbed the Yuqing sword on the table and went out.

At this time, the lord of Huanyu came out of the next room to see him off; She grabbed his arm with both hands, and said softly in a somewhat reluctant and worried tone, "Brother Ling, you must be careful!" ……”

Ling Yun smiled at her and said, "The county lord just rest assured, stay here, don't go anywhere, just wait for my good news!" ”

As he spoke, he threw a look of encouragement and relief at her, and the eyes were full of affection; Then he gently pushed her hand away, turned and walked out, blending his slender figure into the dark and deep night......

Jinling Palace. The housekeeper Zhao Renyi worked hard in the house for a busy day, and it was not until it was late that he dragged his tired body back to his room.

He had simply washed up and was about to go to bed, when he suddenly heard some strange movement in the back room.

He couldn't help but be startled, and thought to himself: Could it be that I am a few years old, and my ears are not good, and I heard it wrong? Otherwise, who would hide in my room in the middle of the night and out of boredom?

Thinking of this, he suddenly dared to whisper to the back room, "Is there someone inside?" Who's in there? ……”

It was silent inside, and there was no response.

Zhao Renyi gently stroked his chest, let out a long breath, and said to himself: "I'll just say, I must have heard it wrong, who would come to me at this time, and don't even say hello, it's too rude!" ”

Before the words fell, he saw the curtain lifted, and a long black-clothed masked man walked out of the back room unhurriedly.

Zhao Renyi couldn't help but be stunned. Before he could scream, the man had already made a move like lightning, and he quickly raised his hand to close his dumb hole and several large holes on his body.

Zhao Renyi immediately stiffened, stunned, unable to speak or move.

At this time, he was only frightened, his heart was pounding, and he was trembling vigorously, thinking: Where did this person come from? What the hell is God trying to do in my house? Alas! Looks like my life is enough! ……

After the person who came to restrain Zhao Renyi's acupoint, he was not in a hurry to talk to him, but turned around and walked outside, looked around to see the surrounding situation, and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, before he calmly returned and stood in front of Zhao Renyi again, his clear eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Steward Zhao, don't come to harm?" ”

Zhao Renyi suddenly heard that the person's voice was very familiar, and he couldn't help but be full of surprise, wanting to ask who he was but couldn't speak, just squeezing his eyebrows in a hurry, which was really funny.

The black-clothed masked man smiled slightly, slowly raised his hand, and took off the face towel on his face, revealing his handsome and deep face.

The person who came was Ling Yun.

When Zhao Renyi saw it, he only felt his head bang and almost fainted. For a moment, he felt that his mind was blank, and his thoughts seemed to freeze, and he was stunned for a long time.

His eyes widened in horror, and he looked at the man standing in front of him again. That's right, this person is indeed Lingyun! But how is this possible?

A few days ago, when someone sent two white wooden coffins to the Jinling Palace, he and his family members Zhao Wei and Zhao Yang were the first to discover and arrange for someone to carry the coffins to the palace, and the follow-up matters were also handled by him personally.

He will never forget the moment everyone opened the lid of the coffin and saw the horrific scene. At that moment, he only felt dizzy in front of his eyes, and he almost fainted; And that moment has since become a shadow and nightmare for his life......

When I think back to the situation at that time, I still remember it vividly, and I have palpitations......

But now, he suddenly saw Ling Yun standing in front of him with a good look, still talking to him casually, how could he not be shocked?

He was thinking: It seems that there are really ghosts in this world, at the beginning, Commander Ling and the county lord died unexplained, and now it must be Ling Yun's ghost that is still lingering, and he ran out in the middle of the night to find someone to avenge his grievances or ask for his life.

I also know that you, Commander Ling, died unjustly at the beginning, but it wasn't me who harmed you, but what are you doing here in the middle of the night to find me? ……

Zhao Renyi's mind was full of thoughts, but it was a pity that the acupuncture channel was restrained and he couldn't say a word.

Ling Yun saw that Zhao Renyi's face was like earth, his whole body was just trembling, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, he was so anxious that he grinned and sweated; couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Steward Zhao, I know what you're thinking." The first thing I want to tell you is: I'm not a ghost, I'm a human, I'm a living person, so please don't be afraid. ”

Zhao Renyi glanced at him again suspiciously, isn't it a ghost? It's true?

As if reading his thoughts, Ling Yun repeated again, "Yes, I'm not a ghost. Believe it or not, I have a shadow. Saying that, he deliberately raised his hand, and then calmly turned around in front of Zhao Renyi.

Zhao Renyi's eyes rotated back and forth with his every move, and sure enough, under the projection of the flickering candlelight, he clearly saw the real shadow of the other party, and at the same time, he faintly smelled the faint, grassy mellow fragrance emanating from the other party.

These breaths lingered around him, real and warm, making his originally throbbing and trembling heart settle down little by little.

Ling Yun saw that Zhao Renyi's face slowly softened, and knew that he had believed what he said, so he continued: "Not only is I not dead, but the county lord is also fine now, tonight the county lord personally arranged for me to come to the palace to ask you for help." ”

The county lord is not dead either? …… Zhao Renyi's originally gloomy eyes immediately jumped with a hint of joy.

Ling Yun naturally understood his thoughts, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the county lord is fine now." Butler, do you want to know what's going on? Don't be in a hurry, listen to me slowly tell you the cause and effect of the incident. ”
