Next.

Shen Chen got up early in the morning and rushed to the scene where the yamen arranged Yueqin's corpse to show the public.

When he got up, Lin Xi felt it and opened his eyes in a daze: "Are you going?" Then I'll ...... with you."

"No, let's sleep a little longer, and wait for me to come back and have breakfast together."

Shen Chen leaned over and kissed Lin Xi's forehead, Lin Xi didn't force it when he heard this, waved his hand at him randomly, then turned over and continued to sleep, not even realizing that Shen Chen was gone.

When he woke up again, Lin Xi heard a voice outside, it was Shen Chen and Lin Yiling, and the two seemed to be chatting about the proprietress of the rouge shop.

Lin Xi stretched out in the quilt, then got up, changed his clothes and opened the door to go out.

"What are you talking about?"

The two of them turned around when they heard the movement, and when they saw her, Shen Chen took the initiative to say: "The news that the yamen has caught Yueqin, I have already let people spread it, and the body is on a street on the east side of the yamen, guarded by officials." ”

Lin Yiling immediately said: "I also went out this morning to see the boss lady!" As you might expect, she was very upset when she learned the news, and went out several times, but she didn't seem to be afraid of something, and she didn't go to the yamen to check. ”

Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "She may be pretending to be hungry that Yueqin has already fled, and it is unlikely that she will be caught by the yamen." I felt that I had just come out of the yamen, and I couldn't say that someone was staring at her, for fear that going rashly would bring trouble to Yueqin. It doesn't matter, in this world, as long as it is a mother and daughter, no mother will not care about her guilty and beloved daughter. She couldn't take it long. ”

"That's right. Now that there are so many people in the daytime, she may wait until the dead of night to go. Shen Chen also thought so, "I have already instructed that there will be fewer guards at night, just keep an eye in the dark." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yiling put a snack, "That's good, old man and wait patiently until evening." ”

"yes, wait, it's useless to rush."

Lin Xi was so hungry that his stomach growled, so he said, "Have you had breakfast?" If you don't eat it, I'll make you braised noodles to eat. I especially want to eat that. ”

Shen Chen has always been what Lin Xi does and what he eats, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Lin Yiling was curious: "What is braised noodles?" Do you have a unique way of eating in the south? ”

"Maybe there's one here, I haven't noticed. Heck, you'll know when I make it. Lin Xi said that he would go to cook and let Shen Chen wake up Erbao.

And a few of them stayed in the inn all day today, which caused Erbao to curiously ask them if they were done with the case.

Lin Xi said no, he was waiting for the suspect to be arrested at night.

Erbao was a little sleepy, and when he heard the words, he didn't sleep, to see how the suspect they said was caught.

It didn't take long for the news to really come out, and the official of the yamen came to tell Shen Chen, saying that he had really caught the proprietress of the rouge shop and asked him to decide.

Shen Chen packed up and decided to go to the yamen.

Lin Xi also wanted to follow, looking at Erbao, he was not very relieved, and finally turned his gaze directly to Lin Yiling.

Lin Yi Lingyuan also wanted to go, but when he saw this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know, the old man will watch the child for you!" I really owe you in my last life, remember to ask the old man's questions. ”

"Well, no problem!"

Lin Xi responded and told Erbao to listen to Lin Yi's words.

Erbao nodded obediently.

Lin Xi left with Shen Chen, and soon arrived at the yamen, where he was led to the cell by the official messenger, and saw the proprietress who was imprisoned in it.

As soon as the proprietress noticed that someone was coming, she turned her head vigilantly and looked at it.

When she saw Lin Xi, she was suddenly stunned: "You...... How is it ......"

Lin Xi was a little weak-hearted, scratched his nose, and greeted: "That's right, it's me, long time no see." ”

The proprietress suddenly understood, and rushed over angrily: "I trust you so much, treat you sincerely, recommend so much rouge to you, and don't charge you money!" I've talked to you so much! You were sent by the Yamen to deliberately cramble! ”

Lin Xi subconsciously took a step back.

Shen Chen also took a step to the side, blocked Lin Xi, and said lightly: "The duty is for me and my mother-in-law, and it has nothing to do with my mother-in-law." If you want to hold a grudge, you will remember me. ”

"You're all a raccoon dog!"

There is a door isolated, and the proprietress can't get out, so she can only scold angrily.

Lin Xi sighed, came out from behind Shen Chen, and said, "So my guess is right, Yueqin is the daughter you talked about, right?" ”

The proprietress looked stunned and turned her face away suddenly: "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

"If Yueqin is not your daughter, why did you go to secretly look at the corpse in the middle of the night? For the yamen, this is already a fact that can be understood with your toes, and it is useless for you to deny it. "Lin Xi Road.

When the proprietress heard this, her face was frustrated and resentful, and she broke the jar and shouted, "So what? I tell you, you don't want to find out her whereabouts from me, I don't know anything, I don't know! Even if you torture me to extract a confession, I don't know anything! ”

After saying that, she turned her head back, got on the clay kang covered with hay, sat in the corner and hugged herself, and refused to speak again.

Seeing this, Shen Chen twisted his eyebrows, turned his head and said to Lin Xi: "Lady, you go out first, and I will interrogate her." ”

Lin Xi became worried when he heard this.

When she was in Jinling first, she had heard that Shen Chen was very powerful, and his interrogation methods were particularly first-class, and few people could hold him up without saying anything.

But for the previous use, Lin Xi was a little ashamed of the proprietress and didn't want to see the proprietress very much......

"I'm not going out. Shen Chen, let's do it, let me try. "Lin Xi Road.

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi steadily, and bowed his head for a moment, "Okay, follow the lady." ”

Lin Xi stepped forward, looked at the proprietress in the cell, and said, "You don't want to tell us anything, do you want to see your daughter die tragically?" ”

The proprietress stiffened.

Lin Xi continued to speak; "Do you know the identity and situation of your daughter Yueqin? It's okay if you don't know, I can tell you in detail now. ”

"Your daughter Yueqin is from the north, and she is a fine work planted by the Hu people. I don't know how she did it, but in short, she knows a henchman around a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and the two have a good relationship. And the henchman found that the officials he was loyal to had done a lot of unfavorable things, and he didn't want to be loyal anymore, so he took a list of countless officials who rebelled against Qin Tonghu and did all kinds of evil things, and met Yueqin after arriving here. ”

But the officer found out and sent someone to hunt him down and get the list back. This person also died because of it, and the list was taken away by Yueqin, who wanted to use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for peace and benefits. But Yueqin didn't expect that this list was so important that she was constantly hunted down, and many people around her died because of it. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xi paused, looked at the proprietress in the cell, and said, "Do you think that your daughter can escape by herself with this list alone, and she can escape from those people?" ”

The proprietress shuddered.

Lin Xi said again: "Because of this list, the court and her are on the same side. So if you tell us Yueqin's whereabouts, we can find her to protect her while she's still alive. But if you don't tell us, she continues to run, do you think your cherished precious daughter will be able to escape several waves of pursuit? ”

The proprietress was stunned, her face flashing with tangle and struggle.

After a long time, she looked at Lin Xi, "Why should I believe you?" ”

"By interest." Lin Xi said without hesitation.
