Lin Shijing didn't bother to pay attention to his ridicule, but asked about their harvest in the Nan family.

Lin Chonghan told the truth about the situation, she said: "In my personal opinion, it is not very likely that this foreign businessman will kill Nanyue because of a business dispute. ”

Gu Qingzhang nodded in agreement: "The little official once said before that the Nan family has someone to protect him within the imperial court, and the businessman will never dare to touch him." ”

But you can't talk too much, everything still has to wait until the investigation is over before you can draw conclusions, and Gu Qingzhang and they also understand this.

So they didn't rush it, but waited patiently for Gua Er to come back.

Gu Qingzhang seemed to have to have a picnic today, and when he was talking, he quietly lit a fire by himself, and at the same time he didn't know where to dig a bunch of water chestnuts back.

"The Nan family took a heavy line to pay tribute to the palace with spices," Gu Qingzhang roasted the horse's hooves on the fire and began to comb the eyebrows of the whole thing, "As a result, Nanyue didn't know what means to use to tie up another high-ranking official in the capital. ”

Lin Shijing had already eaten a lot of water chestnuts cut by the little girl in the spring before, but she didn't expect that when Lin Chonghan came back at this time, she miraculously conjured a big bowl full of water chestnuts.

It made him look at it with amazement.

Lin Chonghan took the water chestnut and curled his beautiful eyebrows: "It's hard work for us in spring, now is the season to eat water chestnuts, you should eat more." ”

Just as she was talking, Gu Qingzhang behind her was looking at her with blank eyes, and Lin Chonghan seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, she seemed to turn around inadvertently and handed the other party a handful of water chestnuts.

Gu Qingzhang coughed twice and calmly accepted the other party's good intentions.

Lin Er leaned back on the recliner and said that he didn't see it.

"Go on," Gu Qingzhang chewed on the crisp horse's hooves, "I have never understood what the purpose of the murderer behind the murder of Nanyue was?" ”

The mysteries are one after another, but Gu Qingzhang firmly believes that as long as these messy mysteries are straightened out and then touched by the vine, the truth behind them will definitely be found.

Everyone was eating water chestnuts and chatting and gossiping, and time passed unconsciously.

When Lin Chonghan was thinking about where Xiao Heming should be traveling now, Gua Er was stepping on the cobblestone path and came back from outside.

"Master Hou," he said with some embarrassment, "who made an appointment with Nanyue, this matter is not difficult to investigate." It is said that he was a young friend of Nanyue, and because he was passing through Suzhou, he specially asked him out for dinner. ”

Lin Chonghan keenly noticed the word "way" in his words, and she asked in surprise: "So, ...... this person now?" ”

"That's right," Gua Er nodded heavily, "Now that he has left Suzhou, counting the days, it is estimated that he will not be able to find it long ago." ”

This clue has been almost broken here, and the people who left Suzhou to go elsewhere, where can people start to investigate?

"Master Hou."

When the atmosphere fell silent, Lin Chonghan hesitated to speak, saying: "What you want is the secret behind Nanyue, and if you want to find out the murderer, you also want to understand what the reason for Nanyue's death is." ”

"But, I mean—what if the South Bank knew the secret as well?"

Gu Qingzhang was instantly enlightened, what he had always wanted to do was to verify the cause of Nanyue's death, and to verify the secret of Nanyue and his high mountains in the capital.

But he has been negligent in one point, that is, "brother to brother".

As the head of the next generation of the Nan family, Nan'an will definitely come into contact with the world that belongs to his brother and reconnect with that thread.

He was reluctant to give up that line, Gu Qingzhang's heart suddenly brightened, no one was willing to give up that line - the line that leads to glory, wealth and monstrous power.

The obstacles that had been in front of him disappeared in an instant, and now Gu Qingzhang was ready to reformulate the plan, and the core of this plan was the south bank.

Seeing Gu Qingzhang and his subordinate Gua Er muttering to make a plan, Lin Shijing wondered: "Chonghan, how much reward did you say our Emperor gave to the Hou Ye to make him so willing to give him his life?" ”

It gave him the opportunity to reorganize his army and attack the southern border.

Lin Chonghan knew it, but he didn't tell Lin Shijing.

"Brother, how do you think Master Hou should conquer the south bank and get news from him?"

Facing his sister's question, Lin Shijing's face became extremely strange, he glanced at her, and then looked up at Gu Qingzhang's back.

After a while, he reluctantly spoke: "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid Master Hou will invite you out this time." ”

Yue, dressed in white, carefully got off the carriage with the support of the bridal maid.

"Madame be careful," the maid hugged her and helped her all the way into the store, "It's very windy outside now, and you can just let someone come to inspect the shop." ”

Yueshi smiled softly, she shook her head: "This is nothing, now my younger brother is busy outside to take over many businesses before her husband's death, I can do this kind of trivial matter." ”

When the two entered the store, the little maid whispered with a disgruntled face: "The old lady is really, in the past, when the uncle was here, she didn't have a good face, but now when the uncle leaves, she is becoming more and more unkind to you." ”

"It's all family," Yueshi whispered, "why say such a thing. After all, she is a mother-in-law, and it doesn't hurt for me to let her do it. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly saw Lin Chonghan who was picking spices.

Yue's lotus walked over lightly and gracefully, and there was a faint fragrant breeze fluttering when she walked, so that the customers on the side couldn't help but feel their hearts ripple.

"This nobleman," Yue said softly, "what a coincidence, you also came to choose spices?" ”

Lin Chonghan turned his head and seemed surprised to see each other here.

She smiled and nodded, and said, "When I was in your mansion before, I always smelled a faint fragrance, and I was embarrassed to mention it at that time, so now I want to come to the shop to have a look." ”

Yueshi glanced at the things on the shelves and said with a smile: "The fragrance you are looking for is the ancestral secret incense of the Nan family, and there is absolutely no one outside." ”

"If you want, I'll ask the shopkeeper to go inside and fetch some for you."

Lin Chonghan nodded.

Yue's passed by her side and went to the counter to negotiate with the shopkeeper, Lin Chonghan looked at Yue's slender back, and the tip of his nose seemed to be able to smell the fragrance on her body.

When Yue's was talking to the shopkeeper, Lin Chonghan's gaze involuntarily rested on the back of her neck.

As the saying goes, "If you want to be pretty, you should be filial", the back of Yue's neck is more white and slender against the backdrop of a filial piety clothes.

But Lin Chonghan found that on the back of her neck, a small pale red petal loomed, which looked very attractive.

This made her a little unclear, although the Nan family is only a businessman, it is also a big family in Suzhou, and Nanyue, as the eldest son, should marry a decent woman.

And the good family will never tattoo this kind of petal on the back of the neck.
