Chapter 19: The Third Hand

But to Lin Xing's surprise, she was invited in by Zhang Ping, who was waiting outside, when she arrived at the gate of the Shizi Mansion.

"But the prince told you to wait here?" Walking under the eaves of the corridor, Lin Xing asked Zhang Ping.

"Exactly." Zhang Pingrong was anxious, Yu Guang quietly looked at her expression, and said, "Just an hour ago, Yang Pei'an came to visit, saying that the Zhao family was suspected of buying and selling illicit salt, and he had been targeted by the salt patrol sent by the capital. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xing couldn't help but be surprised, stopped and asked, "Is this really related to the Zhao family?" ”

"No results have been found yet."

Zhang Ping's answer didn't reassure Lin Xing, and it wasn't until she saw Zhou Yan leaning on the bed with a comfortable expression that her heart strangely settled down.

"The prince is so leisurely, I think there is already a way to deal with it?" Lin Xing sat down beside Zhou Yan's hand, and her eyes fell on him and looked at him.

She was gambling that Zhou Yan would not send such a large piece of fat from the Zhao family to other people's mouths, even if the Zhao family was really related to the sale of illicit salt, he would find a way to pick the Zhao family out.

"This matter has nothing to do with Brother Zhao." Zhou Yan only gave her this answer.

It has nothing to do with Zhao Yi, it has to do with the rest of the Zhao family.

"As long as it has nothing to do with the Zhao family's big house." Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, the family has been separated, not only there is a deed, but also the people of Yuzhou testify, even if the Daluo Immortal in the sky is here, I can't say that I will go." ”

After settling down, Lin Xing had doubts again.

She tugged at the handkerchief thoughtfully, and said, "Old Lady Zhao and Zhao Jing rarely ask about the shop, let alone find a channel to buy and sell illicit salt, and they don't dare to do so." Someone must have framed me, but I didn't expect that I would choose to go to the Zhao family at this time to split up. ”

Thinking about the joints clearly, Lin Xing suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

If she hadn't signed the deed of separation, the Zhao family's big house would not have escaped at this time!

"Don't worry, even if the person behind him wants to mess with the Zhao family, he won't send you and Zhao Jie in." Zhou Yan looked at her with a smile, saw that her face was pale, and handed over a cup of tea, "It's rare to see you look so frightened, aren't you a fairy?" How about a wave of your sleeves and let the person behind you show the real thing? ”

"If I am really a god, I will be the first to sew your mouth shut." Lin Xing took the teacup, raised her eyebrows, and snorted.

The two gossiped commonly, seemingly joking, but the other party knew in his heart that if he could jointly patrol the history of salt to frame the Zhao family, and he did this thing unconsciously, he must not be an ordinary person behind it.

Lin Xing was depressed.

The big house is really full of disasters, first Zhao Yi died, and now he was framed by someone, and even the Zhao family has not escaped the catastrophe, who is the third hand behind the turmoil?

With Lin Xing's few understandings of this era, the most direct guess is the one on the golden chair, but if it were him, he would not have such a gentle means.

As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all graces, the emperor wants a merchant's property, where can the merchant refuse?

Therefore, the biggest possibility is ...... "Can there be a prince in the court?" Lin Xing asked.

A flash of surprise flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes, "How did you think of the prince?" ”

"Who else could it be but him?" Lin Xing didn't treat Zhou Yan as an outsider, and told him the speculation in her heart.

Unexpectedly, there was a lot of fog in front of her, she could still see through the essence and guess the prince, and the appreciation in Zhou Yan's eyes almost turned into substance, surrounding Lin Xing tightly.

"I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that you would be afraid." Zhou Yan took a deep breath, pulled the rope next to the bed, and then paused for a moment.

At this moment, Lin Xing heard a sound of footsteps, surrounding Shizi's bedroom, and not even a fly could fly in, which showed how important what he was going to say next.

"The poison of the bird's kiss in Zhao Yi's house is unique to Ouchi, and the Tanglin Pharmacy is opened by a cousin of the prince's mother's family. This relationship is very hidden, and if it weren't for some of my connections, I wouldn't have been able to find out. ”

The few words in front made Lin Xing stunned, and the words in the back made her have a different opinion of this son.

At first, she thought that although Zhou Yan was capable, he was only limited to Yuzhou City, but she didn't expect that he could even find out the line that the prince was hiding deep in.

This person is even more powerful than she imagined, it seems that she is holding this thigh right, as long as Zhao Jie is still useful to Zhou Yan in the future, he will definitely protect Zhao Jie.

Lin Xing carefully hid her expression so that Zhou Yan could not see her careful thoughts.

As everyone knows, Zhou Yan's gaze has never been taken away from her, and he saw the surprise in her eyebrows and eyes early in the morning, as well as the little-known abacus.

I just don't know what this sister-in-law is thinking.

Zhou Yan hooked the corners of his lips, put his hand into a fist to his lips, hid his smile, and continued: "Before Brother Zhao's death, he was summoned by the prince Wei when he was doing business in the capital, and he left the capital shortly after that time and returned to Yuzhou. If I guessed correctly, it was that time that made the prince hate him and ordered the Zhao family to poison him. ”

"Can you find out what happened to the doctor of the Zhao family?" Lin Xing listened, pondered and asked, "The Zhao family opened a pharmacy by themselves, if there is no suitable excuse to rashly change the medicine supplier, Zhao Yi will also find out, unless they buy Zhao Yi's doctor, and let the doctor propose to go to Tanglin Pharmacy to buy medicine." ”

Although Zhao Ji Pharmacy is not the largest pharmacy in Yuzhou, there are many types of medicines, and Zhao Yi will never change the supplier for insurance.

And the doctor who can treat him must also be very trusted, so if it is the Tanglin Pharmacy mentioned by this doctor, Zhao Yi will never doubt it.

"My sister-in-law is really smart." Zhou Yan nodded with a smile, "The doctor who treated Brother Zhao is named Fan Wencheng, after Brother Zhao fell ill, he had a mess with a maid in Feihong Courtyard and misplaced the medicine, causing Zhao Yi to be poisoned. This matter was caught by Zhao Jing, and it also became a handle for Zhao Jing to blackmail him. ”

Lin Xing knew the key as soon as she heard it, "That maid can't be arranged by Zhao Jing, right?" ”

After saying that, seeing Zhou Yan's strange smile, Lin Xing knew that he had guessed correctly, and only Zhao Jing could do such a bad thing.

"In this way, they have been planning to poison Zhao Yi for a long time." Lin Xing was lining up time in her mind.

Zhao Yi talked about business in the capital, refused to be wooed by the prince, and was hated by the prince.

Back in Yuzhou, Zhao Yi was poisoned and bedridden.

Zhao Jing set up a trap to threaten the doctor, asking him to persuade Zhao Yi to change the supplier, and the Zhao family succeeded and poisoned Zhao Yi to death.

In this way, it can be explained why the Zhao family's business is taken care of by Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi's death did not bring any impact to the Zhao family.

Because these people have known it for a long time.

Thinking of this, Lin Xing looked at Zhou Yan again, and couldn't help asking: "Since the prince has been found, why is the prince still willing to wade into this troubled water?" ”

The prince and the prince are the difference between the king and the minister.

Zhou Yan chuckled, "It is precisely because of the discovery of his head that this son will wade into this troubled water."
