Chapter 23: The Truth
"Oh?"
Lin Xing raised her eyes slightly, stopped talking after answering, and stared straight at Luo Jingfeng, wanting to see what else he had to say.
Unexpectedly, Luo Jingfeng was really ready to speak, but he saw that his face was full of bitterness, and he said helplessly: "You two just search thousands of gambling houses, if you can find evidence, Luo will never shirk." ”
If you can say this, you must not be able to find something.
Lin Xing glanced at Zhou Yan, and then asked: "I believe that Shopkeeper Luo is a person who knows current affairs, since you said that there is no evidence, I will believe you once." However, I still have one thing to understand, please explain to the shopkeeper Luo. ”
As she spoke, she also leaned back like Zhou Yan, but a pair of sharp eyes fell on Luo Jingfeng's face.
"It's not easy to get into your thousands of gambling houses, Lin Zhengtang's family is poor, why did you let him in?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Jingfeng opened his mouth to explain, but was robbed by Lin Xing, "You don't have to tell me that Zhao Jing did it." Zhao Jing borrowed his silver after he owed gambling debts, and when he entered thousands of gambling houses, he didn't have so many silver taels on him. ”
These days, Uncle Zhong has found a lot of things, including the causes and consequences of Lin Zhengtang's trip to the gambling house.
At first, Lin Xing also thought that Zhao Jing lent money to Lin Zhengtang to gamble, but later learned from Uncle Zhong that when Zhao Jing borrowed money, Lin Zhengtang already owed a high amount of gambling debts.
So, who ordered the thousands of gambling houses to let them go? Why did the people behind it take a fancy to Lin Zhengtang?
She didn't know if the person behind her was looking at Lin Zhengtang or someone else from the Lin family, if that person's purpose was herself, she would be in that person's arms if she checked it, so she didn't check, but waited for Zhou Yan to bring her.
Now in front of Zhou Yan, Luo Jingfeng didn't dare to lie.
Sure enough, after listening to Lin Xing's words, Luo Jingfeng's pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned to look at Zhou Yan.
But Zhou Yan's face was as usual, not moving like a mountain, Luo Jingfeng was not sure whether he knew the truth or not, and wanted to lie...... He really didn't have the guts.
Others don't know, but Luo Jingfeng knows that Zhou Yan will appear in Yuzhou, not only because he wants to help Zhao Yi, but also because the one on the golden chair means.
He couldn't afford to offend the people on both sides, so after weighing the pros and cons, he still decided to bow to the person in front of him first, after all, the one in front of him couldn't kill him for the time being, but the one in front of him could let his head fall to the ground.
"If the villain tells the truth, I wonder if His Royal Highness the Prince can protect the villain?" Luo Jingfeng looked up apprehensively.
"Are you negotiating terms with this son?" Zhou Yanjian raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face was contemptuous, "You don't want to say it, this world also has a way to know, once the truth is leaked, can you still live?" ”
Luo Jingfeng's expression changed.
He knew he shouldn't deal with these nobles, but it was too late to say anything by now.
His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and Luo Jingfeng could only speak helplessly, "The son of the world forgives the sin, and the villain will tell the cause and effect according to the truth." The villain was instructed by others to introduce Lin Zhengtang to thousands of gambling houses. ”
Lin Xing thought of many possibilities, but she never thought that the person who designed Lin Zhengtang to enter the gambling house turned out to be the prince.
"The villain was also curious about what the festival had with the Lin family, but after all, it was a noble person's business, and the villain didn't dare to ask more, only heard a few words of gossip about the pharmacy sporadically, and no matter how many villains really didn't know!"
After speaking, Luo Jingfeng was still afraid that Lin Xing and Zhou Yan would not believe it, so he raised his hand and swore to the sky, "What the villain said is true, if you lie, the sky will thunder!" It's just that the villain told the prince about this, and if the one is investigated in the future, he will also ask the son to save the villain's life! ”
Even if there is power behind the gambling house, compared with the prince and the prince, it is still 108,000 miles behind, and Luo Jingfeng can't help but bow his head.
"As long as what you say is true, this son will definitely protect your life." Zhou Yan raised his hand and motioned for Luo Jingfeng to get up, "You go down and wait first, and this son will have something to find you in a while." ”
After getting Zhou Yan's promise, Luo Jingfeng was also reassured, and immediately got up and waited outside.
Waiting for Luo Jingfeng to leave, Zhou Yan looked at Lin Xing.
The latter's face was full of doubts, and he looked at Zhou Yan's gaze and speculated: "Maybe it has something to do with the Tanglin Pharmacy." ”
Lin Zhengtang entered the gambling house after Zhao Yi became seriously ill, if Lin Zhengtang discovered the secret of the Tanglin Pharmacy and attracted the prince to design, it would be reasonable.
Does Lin Zhengtang really know?
Bowing his head and thinking for a moment, Lin Xing said, "I'll go back to Lin's house and ask Lin Zhengtang." ”
"Let Zhang Ping send you back, don't delay after asking, and go back to Shizi's Mansion immediately." Zhou Yan told her.
The injuries of the two of them were not healed, and Lin Xing knew that the situation was serious, so he was not hypocritical, and immediately agreed.
Riding a carriage straight to Lin's house from the back door of the thousands of gambling houses, Lin Xing searched for the memory of the original owner in his mind all the way, but did not find a picture related to the Tanglin Pharmacy.
Until the carriage stopped at the door of Lin's house, she neatly got out of the car and knocked on the door.
When the Zou family, who came to open the door, saw his daughter dressed like this, he was stunned, pulled her in and asked, "What are you doing here?" How do you wear men's clothes? ”
Lin Xing glanced at Zou's worried expression and knew that she was thinking crookedly.
"I went to thousands of gambling houses to find out about my father's gambling debts, and it was easy to wear men's clothes." Lin Xingsan explained clearly in two sentences, and then looked inside, "What about my father?" ”
"I've drunk some wine and I'm asleep." Zou Shi saw that she was really fine, so he put his mind at ease, "You sit here, I'll call him over." ”
Since winning the Wei family in court last time, the Zou family is now convinced of her daughter, and whatever she says is what she is.
Lin Xing waited for a while, and saw that Lin Zhengtang, who was full of panic, was reluctantly pushed into the flower hall by the Zou family, with the anger on his face that he had just woken up, but when he saw Lin Xing, he unconsciously retracted.
He sat down next to Lin Xing's hand, took a sip of tea, and asked dryly: "You are now the Zhao family, why do you always go back to your mother's house to be a blessing?" ”
"How do you speak? My daughter finally came back, are you such a father? Zou glared at him, so frightened that Lin Zhengtang quickly changed his words.
"I'm not worried about her being chewed upon!" Lin Zhengtang smiled with a smile on his face, and turned his head to look at his daughter, "If there is anything, you just have to say it, and I will not shirk if I can help." ”
Lin Xing lazily cared about Lin Zhengtang and got straight to the point: "Have you ever been to Tanglin Pharmacy?" ”
"This ...... This place is quite familiar, but ......" Lin Zhengtang was hesitant, and he didn't say a reason for a long time.
But looking at his reaction, Lin Xing knew that there was a ghost.
She glanced over and said lightly, "If you don't tell the truth, I will send you to prison and be with the Zhao family as your companion." ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to prison, Lin Zhengtang instantly became honest, "I haven't been to Tanglin Pharmacy, but there is a gambling house next to Tanglin Pharmacy, and I have been there." Coincidentally, the pharmacy was closed on the day I went, and only a handsome offspring entered, and it looked like it was not small! ”
After listening to his words, Lin Xing knew it in his chest.
That handsome descendant must be the crown prince, and even, most likely, it is the prince himself!
