Chapter 26: Imprisonment

"Miss Xue'er, Lin Xin is a felony in my clan. Without the orders of the elders and the head of the family, I dare not let you in. The guard explained, embarrassed. Ming Hao on the side didn't care so much: "Don't even allow us?" We just go in and have a look and don't do anything." The guard added, "I dare not disobey the orders of the head of the family and the elders. ”

Somehow, the two of them had been grinding with the guard for a while, and he just wouldn't let the two of them in. Encountering such a loyal "talent", Shangguan Xue'er was a little anxious, and said: "The elder and my father don't want outsiders to enter to prevent bad people from mixing in, do you think the two of us look like bad people?"

"This ......," the man hesitated. Shangguan Xue'er said again: "We also went in for the sake of the family, and we are also familiar with the people inside, if he really takes our treasures, if Minghao and I can persuade him to hand it over, wouldn't it be a great achievement? The guard was still hesitating, and Xue'er hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "You just let us in, we'll go in for a while!" The man couldn't twist the two of them, so he had to say, "Okay, then you go in, but you have to come out quickly." ”

Shangguan Xue'er was overjoyed and said, "I know, we will definitely do it." Pulled Shangguan Minghao into the cave. The cave was built in a manor near the back hill and was used as a place for prisoners. There are many people in the family, and it is inevitable that there will be some people who should violate the clan rules. No, there is such a person right now.

......

"What should I do now? Even Shibo doubts me, and several elders won't believe me. If they all think that I stole something, then how can I clear my name? I really don't know who has no conscience to steal something from the clan at this time. Lin Xin felt distressed in his heart. The most important thing now is that the stomach is hungry, how can he have the strength to wash himself away! But then again, who has such great ability to take away the treasures of the clan under the strict defense of the Shangguan family? Listening to the meaning of the elders, the person did not leave any traces, how did that person know that there was ambergris in the forbidden land of the back mountain, and how did he enter the cave?

All these questions are in front of Lin Xin, which is really a headache.

Lin Xin came to the door of the cell and saw that there was no one outside, and he didn't know what material this door was, so he even had to draw a shallow trace of the immortal weapon. "I'll plug it in, I'll plug it in again. He muttered to himself, took the dagger and stabbed it twice.

But how did he know that if the immortal weapon was not infused with mana, it would be like an ordinary sword, although it was sharp, it could not cut through the iron door made of dark iron, and put away the short sword. Look out the door: "Is there anyone? I'm going to starve, I'm going to eat." Can you give me something to eat?" called a few times, but still no one answered. Didn't the Shangguan family give food to the prisoners?

Peace of mind and calmness. Sit down cross-legged, trying to cultivate but can't reach the state, hey......

"Lin Xin, where are you?" Isn't this Xue'er's voice? He immediately approached the iron door and looked sideways in the direction of the visitor: "Xue'er, is it you? I'm here?"

Shangguan Xue'er and the others followed the sound to the cell. "Lin Xin, you ...... How are you?" Lin Xin looked at the two and said, "I can't die yet, Minghao, you're here too!"

Shangguan Minghao said: "Lin Xin, where have you been these days? We haven't been able to find you for a long time." We were so happy to hear that you were back today. But they heard that you were locked up here again, and they said that you had stolen the treasures of the clan. Is all this true?"

Lin Xin said: "Minghao, Xue'er, the three of us have the best relationship in the clan, do you say that I will steal the big treasures in the clan?" Seeing the two shaking their heads, he continued: "I am an orphan without parents, the Shangguan family treats me like their own family, and Lan Shibo treats me as his own son. How could I do such an ungrateful thing?"

Ming Hao said again: "But where have you been these days? Although we believe in you, it doesn't mean that the uncles and elders will believe in you." Lin Xin smiled bitterly: "The elders believe it or not, it's just that I don't want Lan Shibo to doubt me."

Seeing him mention his father, Shangguan Xue'er said, "Don't blame my father, he has been worried about the affairs of the clan recently. I don't think he suspects you, but he hasn't found evidence yet. Lin Xin, if you want to clear your name, you must tell my father what you have been doing these days, otherwise how can you make them believe you, you know?"

Lin Xin was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, and he had to be locked up here in the lobby because he couldn't explain where he was going these days. The encounter with the beast predecessors in the cave is too strange, and it contains many secrets. No matter what, you can't tell anyone else, but if you don't tell it, where will you find your innocence?" but he still nodded and said, "Don't worry, the treasures in the forbidden land are definitely not from me." ”

Xue'er said again: "Lin Xin, you are locked up here and can't meet your father, do you have anything to say to him?" I think as long as my father believes in you, the elders will not dare to do anything to you." Hearing her sincerely, Lin Xin was moved but smiled bitterly, you are thinking too simply, although the head of the family controls the entire family, many things are also involuntary.

Lin Xin said with a smile on his face: "Xue'er, if you want to help me, I think now is the best time." The two said in unison, "How can I help you?" His face was full of expectations, could he have thought of a way. Lin Xin looked at his stomach and said weakly: "I haven't eaten for several days, if I don't eat again, I'm afraid I will starve to death if I don't get beaten to death by the elders." Now go and fetch me something good to eat, and fill your stomach." ”

Thinking that he really wanted to say something, but he didn't want to say anything, Xue'er saw that he didn't care, and said dissatisfiedly: "Lin Xin, when is this, you still come to joke with us." Lin Xin couldn't see her cute and angry appearance, and knew that the two of them must think that they had lied to them, and said: "I'm not kidding, I haven't eaten a bite of food in the past few days, and now I'm really starving to death." He cried out that he had been wronged.

The two of them were suspicious and said, "What you said is true?" Lin Xin said: "Such a serious matter, can I lie to you?" Xue'er said: "Then I'll go and get you some food." Saying that, the two of them went out of the cave with Shangguan Minghao.

......

At this time, Shangguan Lan stayed alone in the study, and her heart was extremely depressed. After his wife died, the only one who could talk to him was Shangguan Zheng, and everything could be discussed with him. The four elders are also people they can trust, but they can't discuss Lin Xin's matter, and now they can be said to be alone.

The situation in Mizhou is urgent, although it is not explicitly stated in the letter, he can still guess from it that the injury of the second brother should not be simple. The loss of ambergris in the clan would certainly be a huge blow to the family's future, but it would not reach the fatal level. If something happens to the second brother, how will I, Shangguan Lan, face my parents under Jiuquan? The family's career in the business field will definitely plummet. Originally, I wanted to put the affairs of the clan aside and solve the Mizhou matter. I don't want to catch the thief now, and I can't imagine that he is one of the people he trusts the most. To say that up to now, let him believe that Lin Xin stole into the forbidden land and took those things, he didn't agree with it, but the facts made him have to temporarily detain Lin Xin. Shangguan Lan thought about it and couldn't think of any other way. I don't know how determined I was, so I had to do it!

And inside the cell at this time......

You two still know my preferences, send so much meat and fruit, Lin Xin muttered while eating. When people are hungry, things that are usually difficult to swallow can become delicious, and now Lin Xin is tongue is about to swallow it. Full of wine and food, except for chest pain, everything is fine. Lin Xin now has no good impression of the old-fashioned old man of the Great Elder. Hmph, that's a heavy hand on me as a twelve-year-old.

"There are many difficult things in the world, and life wants to run in. If it is entangled in the world, there are not many ways to do it. Lin Xin was bored, and chanted limericks like in the book. My actions like this must be chic and comfortable in the eyes of outsiders, Lin Xin thought in his heart. "Ouch, why does it hurt so much?" As soon as he lay down, Lin Xin felt that the injured area was even more painful. It's okay now, I can't even sleep. You can't get out of this cell, and no one will take care of you, so I'm afraid this injury will be difficult to heal.

"You're very relaxed. A sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
