Inside, Erbao sensed that something was wrong, and immediately got up and ran to Lin Xi's side.

"Mother, who?"

Seeing the man outside, Erbao's eyes became more guarded.

Lin Xi grabbed him, "It's okay." ”

She looked at the man in front of her and said, "My father-in-law has gone out, and I will leave when he comes back." ”

The man's gaze fell on Erbao, and when he saw his face, he seemed to be stunned.

He didn't speak, but turned and stood silently in the doorway, drawing the attention of the other guests who were still there.

Lin Xi closed the door and sat back with Erbao, "Don't worry, that person won't do anything to us, just come to pick us up." ”

"Really?"

Erbao didn't believe it.

The way the man looked at him made him a little repulsed.

Not long after, Shen Chen came back with breakfast.

Seeing the man standing at the door, his eyes lit up, and he walked over as usual, ignoring the man, and pushed the door in directly.

Seeing Shen Chen like this, the man didn't say anything, still waiting.

When Lin Xi and Erbao saw that Shen Chen was back, they both stood up.

Shen Chen reassured: "Don't worry, finish breakfast first before leaving." ”

Lin Xi asked, "What about the people outside?" Just let him wait, is that okay? ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, Yang Shizhong will probably have something to ask me, and he will be willing to wait for a long time." After Shen Chen finished speaking, he gave Lin Xi and Er Baosheng porridge.

Lin Xi thought about it for a while.

It should be the death of the woman next door.

When she was outside just now, she also looked at it, and there was indeed an official at the door of the woman's room, and it looked like she had been keeping watch all night and there was no progress.

There is no progress, and someone should be in a hurry.

However, how could Yang Shizhong want to ask Shen Chen for help?

Lin Xi ate breakfast with such a question, then changed his coat before going out with Shen Chen and Erbao.

The people outside waited for a long time, but they didn't see any different colors, and only dutifully led them downstairs.

Seeing them leave, the other guests whispered.

Because since the murder to the present, the official has not let anyone leave the inn, and the entrance and exit of the inn have been sealed to death.

Now that someone is gone, could it be the murderer?

No matter what the other people think, here Lin Xi's family of three went out, and there was already a carriage waiting outside the inn.

They got into the carriage, and the man who picked them up became a groom to drive the carriage.

In the end, they were taken to the county official post.

As soon as Lin Xi got out of the carriage, he found that the official post was very tightly guarded, and the number of officials was also large, at least several times that of the post station they had passed before.

This made Lin Xi a little uneasy, and approached Shen Chen and asked in a low voice: "How do I feel, this is like catching a turtle in an urn, waiting to catch us?" ”

"No, it won't."

Shen Chen pinched her palm to express comfort.

Erbao muttered: "Mother, we are not turtles, we should be tigers." Tigers are more powerful. ”

"you, don't interrupt."

Lin Xi rubbed Erbao's head.

The three of them were led inside, through the courtyard, from the east side to the backyard, and then all the way in, and finally into a small courtyard that was separated by a separate one.

The man placed them in a room and said, "My family has only seen Shen Gongzi. ”

"Shen Chen."

Lin Xi and Erbao looked at him.

Shen Chen frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Let people take care of my mother and child." ”

The man nodded and shouted outside, and then someone came to serve all kinds of snacks and tea, as well as anecdotes, Go piano paintings, etc., and even the nine rings, rattles and other things on the market.

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi and said, "I'll go back when I go." ”

Lin Xi suppressed his worries and said, "Well, the child is waiting for you here." ”

Shen Chen nodded and left with the man.

Erbao looked up at Lin Xi and said, "Mother, you don't have to think about it, there are children with you." ”

Lin Xi smiled.

The other side.

Shen Chen was taken to a courtyard quite far away, and the one who was in the post station just now was simply an east and a west, and the garrison was even more tight.

At the entrance of the courtyard, the man said politely: "As is customary, we will search your body to make sure you are not carrying anything dangerous." ”

Shen Chen glanced at him coldly: "Do you dare to search me?" ”

The man's expression froze.

Fortunately, one person came out of the inside soon to relieve the siege: "Lord Yang said, please come in directly." ”

Shen Chen retracted his gaze, walked in, and followed the other party into the inner room.

As soon as he entered, Shen Chen smelled a pungent smell of medicine, faintly mixed with the smell of blood.

His brow furrowed even tighter.

The room was dimly lit, with a thick curtain in between.

The man who brought Shen Chen said that the person had arrived, and he bowed his head and withdrew respectfully.

Shen Chen looked at the room, stepped forward to lift the curtains, and at the same time, a weak voice sounded inside.

"Let's just say it."

Shen Chen's hand paused, and then opened it without hesitation.

On the bed not far from inside, there was a motionless man, who looked like a man.

Shen Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you dying?" ”

The person on the bed coughed a few times, "It seems that you really want this official to die." ”

Shen Chen stepped aside and lit three candles.

The room suddenly became much brighter.

Shen Chen sat down in front of the stove with a slight twist on his robe, stretched out his hand to bake the fire, and said lightly: "Then you are not dead, I am really disappointed." ”

On the bed, Yang Shizhong closed his eyes, opened his eyes and stared at the bed account again, and said, "Shen Zhonghan, this official has helped you once, is it appropriate for you to curse this official like this?" ”

"How is it not appropriate?" Shen Chen said lazily, "You Yang Shizhong has strong bones, even if you are stabbed again, you may not die." What's wrong with my mouth addiction? ”

The corners of Yang Shizhong's mouth twitched.

He couldn't pretend anymore, coughed and sat up on the bed, leaning against the pillow.

When he looked up, he happened to see Shen Chen roasting the fire opposite him.

Yang Shizhong said: "Since you guessed it, you will also help the official once." ”

Shen Chen added a little charcoal: "Don't help." ”

Yang Shizhong's expression was a little indescribable: "You have helped Yi Hong's old fox, why can't you help me?" Shen Zhonghan, don't forget that you and I have worked together, when you came to the south to attack the Southern Barbarians, my Yang family did not borrow you less. At the beginning of the year, I didn't borrow you less! ”

Not many people know that Shen Chen and Yang Shizhong are actually familiar with each other.

At least I've met a lot of people before, and I've shouted a few times.

Shen Chen said lightly: "Jinlingzhong, you borrowed my people, and I also gave you military merits, and I also helped you hide it, and I didn't help you take care of your son." ”

Yang Shizhong's words choked in his throat.

Shen Chen said: "Your son is in Haixian County, but he didn't come to my house to eat and drink. My lady made a lot of things, and I didn't miss a copy for him. ”

Yang Shizhong was silent and asked, "When did you know that it was my son?" ”

Shen Chen said: "From the beginning of guessing that Yi Huaijin is the son of Yi Hong's old fox. ”

Dabao made two friends in the private school.

One is Yi Huaijin, who was born in the Yi family of Jinling.

The other is He Jingxing, who was born in Jiangyouyang's family.

At the beginning, Shen Chen didn't think about He Jingxing going to the Yang family.
