Chapter 13: The Medicine Bowl
"Then I'll let people prepare gifts, and my sister-in-law will wait at home, and I will come to greet my relatives in the coming day." Zhou Yan lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly, with a touch of evil taste at the corner of his mouth.
Lin Xing smiled, but this time she didn't answer, but reminded: "It's just a matter of saying this in front of me, if Zhao Jie hears it, he will definitely fight to the death with the prince." ”
She could see that Zhou Yan had no such thoughts, but this world was already harsh on women, and if this word spread, it would hurt her Lin Xing and the faces of the Zhao family.
"Sister-in-law is taught." Zhou Yan obediently admitted his mistake, "Then let's go?" ”
With Lin Xing's consent, Zhou Yan immediately ordered someone to arrange a carriage and went straight to the Zhao family's Feihong Courtyard.
Before getting out of the carriage, Zhou Yan looked at Lin Xing with a little meaning, with a malicious smile on his face, "You just offended the Wei family, and now you dare to come to the door, and you are not afraid that they will beat you out." ”
"There is a son who is willing to escort me, what is my sister-in-law afraid of?" Lin Xingliu's eyebrows were slightly raised, and she was comfortable.
If Zhou Yan didn't come to be her backer, then what was Zhou Yan's purpose in coming to the Zhao family?
Looking at each other, Zhou Yan understood what she meant, and the interest in her eyes was even stronger.
Zhou Yan jumped out of the car briskly and stretched out his hand, "This son is willing to be a pawn of his sister-in-law." ”
I just don't know if Lin Xing dares to take it.
And this time Lin Xing didn't disappoint him, and got out of the car with a handkerchief and supporting his wrist.
When passing by Zhou Yan's side, Lin Xing reminded: "If you teach the Zhao family to know the mind of the prince, even if the prince just says it casually, it will inevitably make them take it to heart, and then the prince will not be able to get rid of this dog skin plaster." ”
Although Zhou Yan helped Lin Xing and offended the old lady of the Zhao family, as Zhou Yan's Chang'an Hou Shizi, whenever the old lady of the Zhao family knew that he was interested in Lin Xing, even if it was just a little more look, the old lady Zhao would send Lin Xing to him.
"Rest assured, Mrs. Sister-in-law, this son respects Mrs. Sister-in-law and will never dare to offend." Zhou Yan thought so, took a step, walked in front of Lin Xing, and pulled half a step away from her.
This reaction made Lin Xing's defense against him let go a little.
- If Zhou Yan is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, he will never distance himself from her at this time, but would like to go on the pole and marry her, so as to get the Bird Feather Seal in her hand.
With Zhou Yan opening the way in front, the Zhao family really didn't embarrass Lin Xing, and easily let them go to Feihong Courtyard.
Naturally, it was also because Feihong Yuan couldn't find anything, so he wasn't afraid of them going.
Because of the court, Mrs. Zhao did not come out to greet Zhou Yan this time, but gave them convenience.
Lin Xing swept around the Feihong Courtyard, and sure enough, the things inside had already been replaced, and none of the things that Zhao Yi used before his death were preserved.
After Uncle Zhong arranged Zhao Jie's study in the shop, he hurried to Feihong Courtyard, first greeted Zhou Yan in front of him, and then came to Lin Xing, and said: "Madam, the villain has arranged for the people below to investigate where the things in Feihong Courtyard have been thrown, and there will be news in less than half an hour." ”
"It's hard work." Lin Xing nodded at him and asked, "Which shop is Zhao Jie arranged?" ”
Zhongbo was stunned for a moment, reacted quickly, and replied: "In Zhao Ji Commercial Bank, the general manager is in charge of all the shops under him. ”
The kung fu of answering, Uncle Zhong was strange in his heart, because of his wife's background, he had never asked these questions before, one was to avoid suspicion, and the other was because he didn't understand, why did he suddenly change his personality today?
Without waiting for Uncle Zhong to figure out the reason for Lin Xing's change, he listened to Lin Xing's instructions: "It is not suitable for him to study in a trading house now, transfer him to the shop below, and start as a buddy." ”
"Huh?" Uncle Zhong almost thought that he had misheard, and asked thoughtfully, "With such an arrangement, will the young master be unhappy?" ”
"He is going to take over the shop left by the master in the future, how can he act mainly because he is unhappy?"
Lin Xing's voice was three points colder, and when he saw that Zhong Bosi was hesitant after speaking, he knew that Zhao Jie was unwilling.
She said: "You go and tell him, if he is unwilling, he will not have to take over the Zhao family's shop in the future, and it is impossible for me to hand over his father's shop to a gentleman who does not learn or know." If he is willing to watch the power fall, then he can do whatever he wants, and I will never care about him again. ”
Zhongbo's eyes welled up with surprise, and he was so excited that he replied in a loud voice, and turned to leave.
Zhou Yan listened to it in amazement, couldn't help but look her up and down with his eyes, and said with a smile: "In the letter that Brother Zhao wrote to me, his evaluation of you is very inaccurate. ”
"Oh, what did he say about me?" Lin Xing asked with a little curiosity.
Originally, she also thought about pretending to be Lin Xing in the past, but she was almost bullied as soon as she walked through, she couldn't choose to obey in order not to be noticed, right?
Unsurprisingly, hearing the word soft from Zhou Yan's mouth, Lin Xing smiled, his eyes fell on the cornices in front of Feihong Courtyard, and asked rhetorically: "If I am still as soft as before, will the prince still help me?" If I don't change, will I still have the life to stand here? ”
This answer was ambiguous, but it also made a reasonable excuse for her drastic change in temperament.
A moment later, the subordinates sent by Zhongbo to investigate returned to Feihong Courtyard and pointed out the direction for Lin Xing and Zhou Yan to discard the debris, in an abandoned mansion of the Zhao family in the east of the city.
Lin Xing got into the carriage, and after waiting for an hour, the carriage stopped in front of the yard, and she was surprised: "How could it be thrown so far away?" ”
The carriage of the Shizifu is already fast, no one dares to stop it on this way, and it has been traveling for nearly an hour, just to throw some sundries, as for being so far?
Unless there's something important in those clutter!
Thinking about the joints, Lin Xing immediately led people to search for sundries, and even rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person.
Seeing that she acted so decisively, Zhou Yan raised the corners of her lips and asked her to ask for a pair of handguards and handed it to her, "There are a lot of porcelain in the sundries, be careful not to hurt your hands." ”
Lin Xing took the gauntlet, thanked him, and suddenly stared at the porcelain, thoughtful.
"What comes to mind?" Seeing that she didn't move, Zhou Yan asked.
"If the evidence that can prove that Zhao Yi's death was not an accident is silk fabrics, the Zhao family would have burned them a long time ago, but now those silk fabrics are thrown here with porcelain......
As he spoke, Lin Xing's gaze swept over the broken porcelain in the courtyard, "The silk fabric has not been destroyed, but the porcelain is almost destroyed, does it mean that the evidence is actually in the porcelain." ”
And the porcelain that Zhao Yi had to touch every day before his death was......
"Medicine bowl!"
"Soup bowl?"
After Lin Xing finished speaking, she heard Zhou Yan's voice, the two glanced at each other, and immediately asked everyone to look for the trace of the medicine bowl in the porcelain.
Within a single stick of incense, they found several medicine bowls.
Zhou Yan called the accompanying guards and asked the guards to inspect the medicine bowl, but before Lin Xing could see clearly how the guards were inspecting, suddenly there was a mechanical sound in his ears.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the task, bonus points: one hundred. Ask the host to keep up the good work and move on to the next task. ”
