Mama Chang promised to do what Lin Xi wrote, and told the little girl to go to the hospital to buy medicine.

At this time, Yi Huaijin hadn't come out yet, and Lin Xi didn't want to stay any longer, so he proposed to go back to the inn.

Mama Chang had already changed her opinion of Lin Xi, and immediately responded to her request, personally found someone to set up the carriage, and personally sent Lin Xi out of the house.

Only when Lin Xi was about to get into the carriage, Mama Chang wanted to speak and stopped: "Miss Lin, what you have seen and heard in our Yi Mansion today, please ...... it."

"Don't worry, I'm just an ordinary doctor, I don't know anything except to prescribe medicine to the old lady." Lam Creek Road.

Mama Chang breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully sent Lin Xi away.

Lin Xi recalled what the old lady said about the woman who was suspected to be her grandmother in the carriage, and heard the noise of pedestrians in the streets and alleys outside, and couldn't help but lift the curtain to look.

The lantern festival is about to happen, and the streets are very lively, and you can hear many people talking, men, women and children.

Except for the upcoming festival, they don't seem to have anything to worry about, and they are all preparing happily and expectantly.

But on top of this grand scene, those in high positions think completely differently.

Lin Xi thought, what kind of mood did the old lady feel when she calmly faced her death? Yi Hong, as the old lady's parent, was raised by the old lady with hard work, but gave his mother a fatal thing with his own hands, and borrowed the name of his wife, what was he thinking? Did Wang know that she had become her husband's accomplice?

What is the truth?

What should people know?

Lin Xi sighed and lowered the curtain.

……

At the same time, the High Crane Tower.

Shen Chen came wearing a hat before entering the High Crane Tower, and someone was already blocking the road in front of him.

"Childe, my master is waiting for you in the Tianzi room on the third floor."

Shen Chen raised his head slightly, and looked at the young man in front of him with eagle-like black eyes, and saw at a glance that the other party was a practitioner, and he was probably from a regular background and had undergone special training.

The sleeves used on the other party's sleeves are still silver, and the pattern is somewhat familiar.

Shen Chen twisted his eyebrows slightly and hummed.

The other party turned around, walked almost silently, and led Shen Chen through the crowd and straight to the third floor.

When he arrived at the door of the Tianzi room, the other party only knocked on the door respectfully twice, and then quietly retreated and disappeared.

Shen Chen looked at the door, did not push the door in, but the person inside opened the door first, Shen Chen saw a young man who was the same as the person who brought him up, and he was also a practitioner.

The other party turned sideways and made a gesture of please.

Shen Chen entered, this room was very large, there was a bamboo in the middle, and a screen with silk threads embroidered on the one side. Behind the screen, the fog curls, as if someone was cooking tea.

Shen Chen walked around the screen expressionlessly, and saw a middle-aged man in regular clothes sitting at the other end of the Eight Immortals table inside, with a straight back, a jade crown in his hair, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist revealed the person's identity and determined what Shen Chen was thinking.

"This tea is still a quarter of an hour, please take a seat." The middle-aged man spoke.

Shen Chen walked over and sat down opposite the middle-aged man.

At this time, Shen Chen saw the other party's face clearly, his appearance was elegant and calm, quite the momentum of a superior person, majestic and restrained. The most important thing is that the other party's facial features are very similar to Yi Huaijin.

Shen Chen frowned and said, "Yi Assassin Shi, you should inspect the local military and government in the Jiangyou region at this moment. ”

That's right, this person is Yi Huaijin's father, Yi Hong, who originally served in Beijing, and was later served in the local assassination history, and inspected various places within two years.

Yi Hong boiled the tea, then scalded the teacup with the first pot of tea, and began to boil the second pot without hurrying.

He glanced at Shen Chen and smiled slightly, "I shouldn't be here, and you shouldn't be here." ”

Shen Chen's expression sank: "When did the imperial court start to care where ordinary people like me went?" ”

Yi Hong said: "You are really too humble. Ordinary people will not check the smuggled coins, nor will they find signs of the south from human trafficking. Seriously, if you hadn't discovered the signs of Nanjing's activities in my Great Qin, and found evidence that the people in Nanjing couldn't refute, I, Daqin, wouldn't have taken advantage of the current mutual business with Nanjing, and Nanjing was helpless even if he didn't want to. ”

Shen Chen said lightly: "I didn't do this. ”

Yi Hong asked rhetorically: "Are you sure that Hai County and Ping County, where you live, will not report you?" Actually, you know, the prefect of Ruyang City, where these two counties are located, has been keeping an eye on you. Chen Yunhe, the grandson of Master Chen, the grandson of General Chen, is your best friend, and he is also valued by Beijing. If Jingzhong wants to reuse him, he naturally has to figure out his dealings with you, and he won't miss you. ”

After the tea was boiled, Yi Hong poured out two cups and pushed one of them in front of Shen Chen.

"So, do you still think that the people above don't know your movements?"

Shen Chen was silent for a long time, raised his hand and took off his hat, revealing his face.

Yi Hong looked at Shen Chen's face, and said after a while: "It seems that you are doing well now." In the past, Yi didn't even have the opportunity to cook tea for you, and he made people happy, but now he has. Don't prevent tasting it, Yi's tea art is no worse than Li Fuzi. ”

Shen Chen didn't move, he was full of thoughts for a moment, and suddenly said, "You did it on purpose." ”

"What?"

"One, the Yi family is a big family in Jinling, the old lady has a special identity, and my wife is not very famous, how can I come to treat her? Unless you deliberately encourage your son to invite my wife when he tells you. Shen Chen said lightly, "Second, Jiangyou is far away from Jinling, and you will never be able to reach it in a short time, but your sudden appearance here means that you have arrived a few days ago, but you deliberately concealed your whereabouts." ”

"Three, since you are here, you must be in control of everything in your house. Your wife Wang plotted to kill her mother-in-law, but you are still sitting still, which shows that not only did you know it for a long time, but you may also be the one who plotted it. ”

Shen Chen stared at Yi Hong with an extremely sharp gaze.

"So you did two things on purpose."

"First of all, poison the old lady. If my guess is correct, the old lady should know that you did it. ”

"The second thing is to deliberately bring me here. It is not your purpose for you to encourage your son to come to my wife for treatment, you are just convinced that once my wife decides to come, I will follow. ”

When the words fell, there was silence in the private room.

Shen Chen and Yi Hong's eyes met, and the atmosphere was tense and imminent.

But immediately, Yi Hong suddenly laughed.

"I haven't said much, but you've guessed so much. It is worthy of Shen Chen. Even if he is down, he still does not reduce the year. It seems that you have made the right decision. ”

Shen Chen's expression was cold, and he got up to leave.

Yi Hong said unhurriedly: "If you leave here today, I'm afraid that your wife can't leave the Yi Mansion." ”

The next moment, the cold light flashed in the private room.

Before Yi Hong's words fell, a sharp blade was across his neck.
