The inference of the White Tiger Organization just now gave Lin Feng a huge sense of crisis.

This made him dare not delay for a moment.

Fortunately, Sun Fujia brought good news, which was enough for Lin Feng to complete part of the reasoning chain.

He looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Sun Langzhong, is there another thing I want you to ask?" What do you think? ”

Sun Fujia said something in Lin Feng's ear.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, there was no surprise on his face, and he said, "It was just an inference before, but now it can be completely determined...... Although it is not known how they do it, the truth is certain. ”

Sun Fujia couldn't help but nod with emotion, he looked at Lin Feng and exclaimed: "Zide, you have made me gain a lot of knowledge, I really didn't expect that the facts can be judged like this." ”

Lin Feng smiled: "Don't say that, Sun Langzhong, I'm just a little more experienced, and my brain is just a little faster." ”

Sun Fujia still shook his head, but he was open-minded and didn't bother with this, he said, "What should we do next?" ”

"Wait for Zhou Mo's confession, I have to take a closer look."

While he was talking, a servant came quickly.

He came to Lin Feng and said, "Young Master Lin, this is the confession you need. ”

Looking at the sweaty appearance of the servant, Lin Feng nodded and said, "It's hard work." ”

He took the confession and looked straight up.

This was Wei Zheng's last time they came to investigate, and they asked Zhou Mo.

Zhou Wan'er is Zhou Mo's sister, and Zhao Minglu wants to kill Zhou Wan'er, also because Zhou Wan'er's sister and brother want to kill Zhao Deshun, Wei Zheng and Dai Zhou naturally won't miss Zhou Mo.

However, Zhou Mo didn't know about it, and he didn't really do anything to actually hurt Zhao Deshun, so there was no reason to deal with Zhou Mo, so he let Zhou Mo go.

Lin Feng looked at the confession.

His gaze quickly swept over it, and it didn't take long for him to finish reading all the confessions.

Everything was as Wei Zheng said on the way here, Zhou Mo didn't know anything, and the degree of participation was extremely low.

But if he really doesn't know anything, how can he not see the sun the next day?

Lin Feng's right thumb and index finger rubbed slightly, and Zhou Mo's answer he had just seen kept flashing in his mind, and suddenly his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.

He hurriedly flipped through the confession, found a page, and looked up.

"Wei Zheng asked: Why did you murder Zhao Deshun with your sister?"

"Zhou Mo said: Zhao Deshun didn't give me money, he wanted me to be beaten to death, my sister was very angry, and said that she wanted to kill Zhao Deshun, then I will listen to my sister, anyway, the Zhao family is so rich, if I kill Zhao Deshun and control Zhao Minglu again, then I will never be afraid of running out of money to spend in the future."

"Wei Zheng asked again: How are you and your sister going to murder Zhao Deshun?"

"Zhou Mo said: I don't know, my sister didn't say it, she said that she already has a perfect plan, I'll just wait for the good news."

Wei Zhengdao: A foolproof strategy? What's the best way to do it? ”

Zhou Modao: I don't know, my sister didn't say it."

"When are you going to do it?"

"My sister didn't say it."

"Then what did your sister say?"

"My sister didn't say anything."

is full of similar dialogues, and the two sentences that Zhou Mo said the most were "I don't know" and "My sister didn't say it".

No wonder Zhou Mo can live until yesterday...... He really didn't know anything.

But...... Sometimes, if you don't know, you can reveal some key information.

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he already understood.

"That's ...... so"

Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief, he handed back these pages of confession to the servant, and immediately found Lu Chenhe, and said, "Lu Changshi, it seems that nothing can be found here, let's not delay time here." ”

"Next...... I want to see the cell where Zhao Deshun was when he died. ”

When Lu Chenhe heard this, he immediately nodded: "Okay, this official will take you there." ”

…………

Assassinate Shi Yamen Prison.

There was no sunlight in the cell, and the air was damp and cold.

Walking in the prison, the stench coming from the cell was spicy, so that Lin Feng had to cover his mouth and nose, and the secret passage was still a better experience of the prison of the Criminal Department.

Soon, they arrived in front of a cramped cell.

The jailer opened the door of the cell, and Lu Chenhe said, "This is the cell where Zhao Deshun was held before his death. ”

Lin Feng nodded and walked in.

By the light of the torches, he could see the blood on the walls and the pitch black blood on the ground.

Lu Chenhe said: "No one wants to clean up this place in the prison...... So all these blood stains are left. ”

Lin Feng nodded: "This is a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't even have a chance to see the scene." ”

While speaking, Lin Feng came to the pool of blood and squatted down.

After looking for a moment, he found the word "Lu" left by Zhao Deshun before he died.

The Lu character in the Tang Dynasty was different from that of later generations, and it was also two mouths, but there was a skim in the middle of the two mouths, connecting the two mouths.

Lin Feng looked at this Lu character, frowned slightly, and said, "Sun Langzhong, don't you think this Lu character is a little awkward?" ”

Sun Fujia also came over and said: "It's not very beautiful, the distance between the two mouths is a little far, like when a child just practiced calligraphy, he couldn't grasp the proportion of the distance, but Zhao Deshun was in a near-death state at the time, and it was normal for him to write unbeautifully, right?" ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Also, he was going to die at that time, and he used all his strength to write this word, what beauty and calligraphy standards did he pursue?" ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng stared at the shocking bloodstains.

Looking at the bloodstains all over the ground, looking at the words left by Zhao Deshun before he died, Lin Feng couldn't help but think of his predecessor.

- Again, banging their heads against the wall.

The only difference is that he has crossed over, and it seems that his predecessor is not dead.

But Zhao Deshun couldn't get up anymore.

At this moment, he suddenly had a sense of sadness like the death of a rabbit and a fox and the sadness of a ghost.

If the White Tiger Organization is really involved, what is the difference between what happened to Zhao Deshun and his predecessor?

It's just a victim of the White Tiger Organization.

He couldn't help but touch his forehead, the wound here is still not healed, and sometimes it hurts faintly.

This method of seeking death is really painful.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, suppressed these chaotic thoughts, and analyzed the many information that was known so far.

"Zhou Wan'er's death has been determined to have a third party, which means Zhao Deshun's death...... It's probably because of that third party as well. ”

"But Jiang Hecheng clearly said that Zhao Deshun had never seen any outsiders before his death."

Lin Feng turned to look at Lu Chenhe and asked, "Didn't Zhao Deshun see outsiders before he died?" ”

Lu Chenhe nodded: "That's right, Zhao Deshun specially asked Jiang Thorn Shi to not allow any family members to visit." ”

Lin Feng frowned slightly.

The third party is in Zhao Mansion, but the people in Zhao Mansion have not come to visit Zhao Deshun, Zhao Deshun was fine a few days ago, why did he suddenly seek death on the third day?

According to the results of the examination, there were no external injuries and no poisoning, and it looked like suicide.

But is it really necessary for Zhao Deshun to commit suicide?

Since you have decided to take the sin, you will die anyway, so why do you have to kill yourself?

And also...... Zhao Deshun didn't see his family, and this matter was a little strange.

Even if he wants to take the blame, there is no need not to see his family, doesn't he know how desperate his son is? He cared so much about his son, didn't he think about explaining Zhao Minglu? What if Zhao Minglu can't figure it out and turns himself in?

Not to mention that the Zhao family has such a big family business, why should they explain the future?

Lin Feng stood up and turned to look at the cell.

The cell is not big, there are some weeds on the ground, and nothing else.

It was dark and damp, and it stinks.

He looked at the weeds and said, "When Zhao Deshun died, there were two grasses in his nose...... Are these weeds? ”

Lu Chenhe nodded hurriedly: "Exactly." ”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, and his dark eyes were full of emotions that made people look indecent.

He was silent for a long time, then turned around and walked out: "It seems that there are really no clues here, let's go." ”

…………

A quarter of an hour later, on the streets of the bustling state city.

Hawkers are hawking along the streets, and the people are haggling.

The warm sunlight shone on his body, dispelling the cold and dampness in the prison.

Lin Feng and Zhao Minglu walked together, lagging behind everyone.

While walking, Lin Feng asked casually, "Have you counted your father's relics, and are there any things missing?" ”

Zhao Minglu said: "I took back all the treasures that my father liked from my aunt last night, I counted them, and there was nothing missing." ”

"My aunt is more picky, and the baby is also covered, so she didn't squander it."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, but he had a question in his heart.

Zhao Deshun's things are all there, and none of them are missing.

Does that mean that the thief didn't find what he was looking for?

It's been so long, Zhao Mansion must have been rummaged through by that thief, but he still hasn't found what he's looking for.

What exactly does he want?

Why didn't I find it?

Was it hidden by Zhao Deshun?

Lin Feng looked at Zhao Minglu and said, "Does your father have any other places to hide treasures besides the treasure room?" Like a secret compartment, a secret room, or something? ”

Zhao Minglu was a little dazed: "I don't know, it shouldn't be, I haven't heard my father say it." ”

Lin Feng squinted.

He thought for a moment and said, "What kind of person do you think your father is?" ”

Zhao Minglu recalled his father, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of sadness and pain.

There was sadness in his voice: "My father is a little fat, and no matter who he faces, he will smile with him, as if there is nothing in this world that can make my father sad, so whether it is the family or the people outside, they all like my father very much." ”

A smile is the number one weapon for doing business!

Lin Feng could understand why Zhao Deshun was able to make such a big business.

"But ......"

Zhao Minglu's voice changed, and he said in a low voice: "My father smiles at everyone, but with me, he always keeps a straight face, doesn't smile, and rarely smiles at me. ”

Lin Feng looked at him.

I saw Zhao Minglu tilting his head, tears flashing in his eyes: "But I don't blame my father, because I know that he is all for my good." ”

"My mother died early, and my father was busy and rarely had time to spend with me, because he was worried that no one would take care of me and I would learn badly."

"So he was always very strict with me, he didn't let me get in touch with business matters, saying that being a businessman is the most unproductive thing, and a businessman will be looked down upon all his life, he wants me to study, even if I don't have the opportunity to participate in the imperial examination, but as long as I become a scholar, I will have the opportunity to get ahead in the future, at least I won't be watched with disgust."

Lin Feng nodded, under the class concept of Shinong industry and commerce, merchants did have the lowest status, and the imperial examination system of the Tang Dynasty also forbade merchants from participating in the imperial examination, which was tantamount to striking at the status of merchants again.

But it's nothing, it's not a problem that he can't participate in the imperial examination, that is, the talented and famous poet Li Bai has never participated in the imperial examination in his life, but does this affect him to be admired by the world? So what Zhao Deshun said is right, let Zhao Minglu study, and finally have a chance to get ahead and be admired.

"I understand my father, and I don't want my father to be so busy outside and distracted by me, so even if I don't have talent, I study hard."

"Even when I was frustrated many times when I was frustrated by a famous teacher and was rejected every time, I never stopped."

Zhao Minglu looked at Lin Feng and said, "I know that I am not actually a student for reading, but I don't want to disappoint my father, so once I fail, I will do it twice, three times...... Finally after I can't remember how many times I failed......"

He showed a smile: "My hard work and persistence have impressed my teacher, and I finally have a famous teacher as my teacher." ”

Lin Feng remembered the introduction that Sun Fujia gave him in the carriage.

He said, "Great Confucian Cui Yan? ”

Zhao Minglu nodded, mentioning his mentor, his face was full of respect: "The mentor is the most famous Confucian in Shangzhou City, I really didn't think that one day I could worship the name of the teacher, so the teacher can accept me as a student, which is a great incentive for me." ”

"When I told my father about it, I remember how happy he was and how he drank too much that night...... He hadn't drunk that much in a long time. ”

In Lin Feng's mind, there was a picture of an old father who was happy that his son was promising and had a very bright future.

This kind of picture always makes people feel very warm.

However, the warmth is only for a moment.

When Zhao Minglu said this, tears couldn't help but slide down the sides of his cheeks: "But not long after I first apprenticed, my father hadn't even heard my teacher praise my article...... That's what happened. ”

"He will never hear my mentor praise me again, he will never see me read and be admired, and I can no longer make him proud......"

As he spoke, he choked up and could no longer speak.

Lin Feng gently patted Zhao Minglu's shoulder and did not speak.

Some things can't be comforted, and some people don't need to be comforted.

Zhao Minglu, who has experienced the cycle of life and death, Lin Feng believes that he can come out by himself.

After a while, Zhao Minglu really stopped his tears, and he looked at Lin Feng with some apologies: "Engong, I, I was too excited just now." ”

Lin Feng smiled: "Human nature. ”

Zhao Minglu looked at Lin Feng's gaze, more grateful and warm.

At this time, Zhao Minglu saw someone selling rouge on the side of the road, and he said: "Auntie's rouge is filled with blood, I'll go buy some new rouge for my aunt." ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Go, your aunt is very good to you and should be filial." ”

Zhao Minglu nodded heavily and left quickly.

Sun Fujia walked over at this time, looked at Zhao Minglu's back, and said with emotion: "Zhao Deshun has such a son, even if he is under Jiuquan, he should be gratified, right?" ”

Lin Feng nodded: "The Zhao family will not be destroyed because of this incident, with Zhao Minglu here, the Zhao family will not collapse." ”

Sun Fujia also agreed.

"Sun Langzhong."

Lin Feng suddenly looked at Sun Fujia and said, "You help me secretly check one thing." ”

When Sun Fujia heard this, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Have you found out?" ”

Lin Feng put his finger in front of his mouth and said, "Don't make a noise." ”

Sun Fujia nodded hurriedly and said, "What are you checking?" ”

Lin Feng whispered in Sun Fujia's ear.

Sun Fujia's face was dazed: "This is?" ”

"Go check it out, I don't think you can go wrong."

Although Sun Fujia didn't understand why he wanted to check this, out of trust in Lin Feng, he immediately nodded: "Leave it to me, and the results will be available before tonight!" ”

Lin Feng reminded: "Don't use the people on the bright side. ”

Sun Fujia said with a smile: "You still have a lot of eyes, so let some people come secretly and cooperate with us...... You can rest assured that no one else will know about it. ”

Lin Feng nodded reassuringly.

He raised his head, his eyes were a little empty, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, I almost already know the ins and outs of the whole case. ”

Sun Fujia looked at Lin Feng fiercely: "Have you solved the case?" ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly under Sun Fujia's stunned gaze.

But before Sun Fujia could get excited, he heard Lin Feng lower his voice and said, "But I'm hesitant to reveal it." ”

"Huh?"

Sun Fujia was stunned: "Why? ”

Lin Feng shook his head, he looked at Wei Zheng, who was also meticulous in walking, and said, "I have to talk to Wei Gong." ”

…………

The gate of Zhao's mansion.

Lin Feng and Wei Zheng stood in front of the stone lion.

“…… So, that's it......"

Lin Feng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Duke Wei, you can get an idea, do you want to reveal the truth?" ”

Dressed upright, with a straight back, the meticulous Wei Zheng heard Lin Feng's words, and suddenly took a step forward, he raised his hand, gently smoothed the wrinkles on Lin Feng's clothes, and straightened Lin Feng's head.

Then, his calm eyes looked at Lin Feng, and his voice was full of reassuring stability: "You just need to let the truth come out, and leave the rest to this official." ”
