In the study sat a kind-faced middle-aged man, holding a book. Seeing the two coming, a smile appeared on his face, as if to indicate that he was a kind middle-aged uncle.

There was also an old man standing next to Wu Zhizhong, who was his housekeeper, Wang Shijie.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Wu Zhizhong said with a smile: "The two of you have grown so big all of a sudden, it's really emotional." ”

Wu Zhizhong stood up and took one of the hands of the two, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

Wu Zhizhong has no children and no daughters, and his only son died mysteriously many years ago, so he cherishes the Erlin he adopted very much, and he has always had whatever he wants.

Their current three-rank official position was single-handedly promoted by Wu Zhizhong. If ordinary people develop according to the normal situation, they may not be able to reach this point in their lifetime, and the two of them have this status at a young age, and Wu Zhizhong's love for them can be imagined.

Lin Xiuran looked at Wu Zhizhong, who had been chattering for more than half an hour, and had to interrupt him: "Dare to ask my father-in-law to call us, is there anything important?"

"Ah, look at my memory, and when I am happy, I forget about business. Wu Zhizhong patted his bare head.

"That's right, there is indeed something, but it doesn't matter, just now Li Wen sent an invitation to invite me to his 60th birthday. Wu Zhizhong stopped when he said this.

Lin Xiuran understood in seconds, and immediately said: "The child is willing to share his worries for his father-in-law!, please allow my sister and me to go to this banquet for my father-in-law." ”

Wu Zhizhong smiled with satisfaction: "It's worthy of my son, my father-in-law is approved!"

After the two left, the smile on Wu Zhizhong's face disappeared, and he said slowly: "Lao Wang, you say, is the family important, or is the world important?"

"I don't know. It's up to the lord to decide. ”

Wu Zhizhong stopped talking, just sat still, his eyes flickering, no one knew what he was thinking.

......

Li Wen is a four-grade civil official, saying that it is not big, it is not small, and there are many protégés. He is Wu Zhizhong's nemesis, Guo Ming's person.

Since Guo Ming can become the sworn enemy of General Yipin, his official position will naturally not be bad. He was the prime minister of the imperial court, and almost all the civil officials were his people.

The two of them are both literary and martial, and they stumble on each other.

In fact, the two didn't have much hatred, just to reassure Lin Tianchen.

Let's ask, there is no contradiction between civil officials and military generals, but they live in harmony, what will the emperor think?

And Lin Tianchen also knew what the two of them thought, and the three forces tacitly agreed that the court was able to stabilize it.

Of course, this is only based on the fact that the strength of the three parties is not much different, and if one side declines, the people of the other two sides will definitely not hesitate to annex it.

Now on the bright side, the royal family is the strongest, and of course, the dark side is also ......

Lin Xiuran and Lin Zixian wore blue jeans and black short sleeves and sat in a black car.

Their black robes can change color and shape, and they are also orange-level high-grade equipment, and their performance will not be low.

The reason why Wu Zhizhong asked Erlin to come was because of the purpose of cultivating their abilities, in fact, there was another purpose, that is, to try to find fault without telling the truth, it was best to kill Li Wen, and if it was the worst, he would disgust him.

"Sister, is it necessary for you to be exactly the same as the clothes I am wearing?" Lin Xiuran complained.

"Where! It's clear that you're imitating my outfit!" Lin Zixian's eyes rolled slightly.

...... "Obviously I became like this first, okay?!"

The young lady who drove remained silent, pretending that she hadn't heard anything, but her ears were pricked up to listen to their conversation.

I don't know how long it took.

"Young Master, Miss, it's here. ”

"Hmm. ”

Erlin ate the two pills that Lin Tianchen secretly sent, and then walked out of the car door.

The two walked in front of Li Wen's manor, and no one was in or out now, because the banquet had already started for more than ten minutes, and the people who came to celebrate his birthday would naturally not be late.

However, the two were late.

But they did it on purpose, and if Li Wen attacked them in a fit of anger, it would be easy to do.

In recent days, Guo Ming lost some prestige in the imperial court because of his wrong advice, and was severely reprimanded by Lin Tianchen, and Wu Zhizhong took the opportunity to do things.

Now Guo Ming's people are cautious in doing things, for fear that they will do something wrong again, causing Lin Tianchen to favor Wu Zhizhong.

A large number of people were still waiting for Wu Zhizhong's arrival at the door, but they waited left and right, and only saw Lin Xiuran and the others, but it didn't matter, these two people were the hearts of the general, and they could come to save face.

"Oops! Something happened on the way, so it was delayed. I'm really sorry!" Lin Xiuran smiled, and there was a little apology in his face and tone.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out, but Li Wen now wants to beat Lin Xiuran hard, but he can't make a move, what should he do......?

Li Wen was MMP in his heart, and smiled on the surface: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's an honor for Gongzi Wu and Miss Wu to come." Please, two of you!"

In front of the public, the two were called Wu Xiuran and Wu Zixian, and Lin Tianchen sent the two to Wu Zhizhong, I don't know what it was for......

Li Wen invited them to a table with him.

The guests, who were still quite complaining, stopped talking and stopped talking, who can provoke and who can't be offended, in their small book, they remember very clearly, Erlin is the second person who can't be provoked.

If you want to mix in the officialdom, the most important thing is not to offend people, and the second is to meet the source left and right.

"Today is the 60th birthday of the old man, and I welcome all the guests. I give you a toast!"

Li Wen raised the transparent goblet and drank it in front of everyone.

"There is one more thing, that is, two distinguished guests from General Wu, this is Wu Xiuran Wu Gongzi, and this is Wu Zixian Miss Wu. ”

Although everyone knows Erlin, Li Wen still introduced the two of them in a grand manner.

This is not only a gesture of goodwill to Wu Zhizhong, but also a common practice, as long as people with higher official positions than themselves come to visit, they must do so.

"Now, I would like to toast you two more glasses of wine. ”

Li Wen personally brought two glasses of red wine and handed them to Erlin, which was to show respect for the two.

'Didi, Didi!' [Poison Detector] sounded an alarm in the minds of the two of them.

Lin Xiuran took the wine glass, frowned, and poured the red wine in the wine glass to the ground, Lin Zixian was the same.

"Zizizi!"

Bursts of white smoke came out of the red carpet on the ground, and a large hole was corroded in an instant.

Obviously, Erlin's wine was poisoned.

"This ......" Li Wen was stunned.

Wow!

The people next to him exploded all of a sudden, chattering and discussing.

This is amazing, Li Wen actually wanted to poison Wu Zhizhong's precious children! But is this really the case?

"Oh my God, Master Li is actually going to kill these two people!" said one person subconsciously, but quickly reacted and saw that something was wrong.

If the poison is really under Li Wen, then he is too stupid, isn't it clear that he did it?

No one would think that Li Wen was stupid, and Li Wen was certainly not stupid, and immediately knew that someone was framing him.

Although Li Wen knew that he didn't do it himself, he still broke out in a cold sweat.

Some things don't really have to be done to relate to yourself, but as long as others think you did them, that's enough.

Li Wen knows this truth, and I believe that the murderer behind the scenes also thinks so.

Lin Xiuran was a little surprised, he didn't even start to find fault, and the opportunity to do things came.

Everyone also knew that Li Wen was framed, and they were not stupid, how could they not see it by killing people with such a simple knife.

As for whether the murderer is from that side, it is not difficult to guess that the civil officials suffer losses, and who will benefit?

Your Majesty, Wu Zhizhong, oh, and the rebel army.

There is another possibility, that is, this is a play directed and acted by Wu Zhizhong.

But they won't help Li Wen speak, that will offend today's "knife". They all knew that no matter what, the Li family would definitely be finished.

Sure enough, Lin Xiuran's face was "gloomy", and he said coldly: "Master Li, what's going on?"

Li Wen broke out in a cold sweat and said urgently: "Wu Gongzi, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here, you give me some time, I will definitely find out the murderer!"

The murderer is indeed not Li Wen, his original intention was just to befriend Wu Zhizhong at today's banquet, after all, he is about to retire, and he has to leave a way back for himself.

"No! What's the misunderstanding! I think the murderer is Master Li, right?

I don't know from which corner, someone threw Lin Xiuran's extinction over.

"Smack!"

Lin Xiuran caught the extinction, without saying a word, drew his knife and slashed!

"Wu Gong—"

"Poof!"

Lin Xiuran didn't give him another chance to defend himself, and directly cut off his head with a knife.

[You have killed a story character and obtained Inferior Soul Energy ×1.] 】

Maybe the world is a novel or a movie...... Whatever!' Lin Xiuran said secretly.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of neat and powerful footsteps sounded from outside the manor, and almost all of the people present were old fritters, how could they not hear that this was the footsteps of soldiers.

One by one, they pretended that no one was right, raised their heads to the sky or looked down at the ground, and they looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Lin Xiuran was very satisfied with their reactions, they were all people who understood, and he would not deliberately find their faults.

"Come on! Li Wen intends to poison the third-rank generals of the imperial court, and he should be beheaded all over the house!" Lin Xiuran shouted.

A large number of ironclad soldiers rushed in, surrounding the people seated, and the cold glow of their spears made some of them pale.

"Wu Xiuran, you demon, you return my father's life!" an angry female voice came.

"Whew!"

A pink figure held a thin sword and attacked Lin Xiuran.

Lin Xiuran shook his head.

"Jingle bell!"

"Zheng!"

"Poof!"

Lin Xiuran casually slashed away the beautiful woman's thin sword, and cut off her head with another sword.

She was born to Li Wen in her forties, and she was considered an old woman, and now she was killed by him.

I was deeply touched by this girl's filial piety, and I was saddened by her actions. Lin Xiuran looked compassionate.

Here, if you attack a military general for no reason, even if someone kills you, you won't blame that general.

"It seems that there are still people who are not satisfied with what I do. I've always been a very fair and democratic person, if everyone has any different ideas, just speak up, don't be afraid!"
