Volume 2 The Beginning of the Edge and the Shock of Qixia Chapter 10 Lingtai Lejia
Yunlan Sect, Collection Pavilion.
"Are these the original files?"
"Well, Zou Taishou made a lot of determination to let us take it away. ”
"I've worked hard for you this time, you can rest first, and you can go to a place with me in the afternoon. ”
"Where?"
"Lingtai County.."
"Oh. ”
Lin Shiyan nodded, and then went out obediently.
Lingtai County is a small county town in Jiaozhou, fifty miles east of Shangyang City.
Lu Qingzheng looked at the original file that Lin Shiyan brought back, and combined with the list information that he spent a morning sorting out, he found that Lin Jun had traveled frequently to one place two years ago. It was Lingtai County, and he felt that this place should be able to surprise him.
In addition, he looked at Lin Shiyan who had withdrawn from the Collection Pavilion, and he was also thinking back in his heart that she had just said what she had seen and heard in the Taishou Mansion of Shangyang City, and she had a deeper understanding of the contradictions between the Daxun place and the Qingyun Palace.
It should be said that Lin Shiyan's reaction was very correct, she did not clearly tear her face with Zou Changshen, but also solved the matter satisfactorily, she is still very clever.
As for that piece of jade... Naturally, it's a fake, but looking at her appearance, this Yujue shouldn't be a simple thing.
With a chuckle, Lu Qing once again set his eyes on the file in his hand, in which he focused on the records of Lin Jun's road references to and from Lingtai County.
More than half of them went to one place: Lingtai County.
..
Lingtai County.
This is a small county town located in Jiaozhou, because it is close to Shangyang City, so it is directly under the jurisdiction of Taishoufu.
According to the confessions of the Yunlan Sect and the records of the sect, Lin Jun had frequently come to this small Lingtai County two or three years ago.
There are various reasons for sect missions, going down the mountain to visit friends, visiting distant relatives, etc., and so on.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not reasonable at all, Lin Jun is only seventeen years old this year, and he was about fifteen years old two years ago, when he had just entered the Yunlan Sect, at most he was the appearance of the first and second layers of Peiyuan.
How could such a shallow disciple come to an unknown small county so far away to perform some mission?
Secondly, Lu Qing has checked, there are no distant relatives of the Lin family in Lingtai County, and they can't even find it on the genealogy, which family did he explore?
Finally, and the most suspicious point, Lin Jun has lived in Shangyang City since he was a child, and has never left there, let alone come to Lingtai County before.
For such a high-ranking official, who has never been far away since he was a child, how could he frequently come to Lingtai County to 'visit friends' for no reason?
Or, he is indeed a visiting friend, and his friend is likely to have a big problem!
There is another thing that makes Lu Qing suspicious, that is, he has not been here since he came to Lingtai County for the last time a year ago.
And what made him not set foot here for a whole year?
..
The two of them rode the fire spirit beast together as usual, and Lin Shiyan had gradually become accustomed to the feeling of sitting behind him, and her hands naturally wrapped around his waist.
Seeing her like this, Lu Qing smiled slightly, and as soon as her legs clamped the belly of the fire spirit beast, the fire spirit beast carried the two on the road.
Because of the late departure, when Lu Qing and the others arrived here, it was already dusk.
Lin Shiyan asked Lu Qing: "Do you want to find an inn to rest for one night first?"
"No need, the soldiers are fast, I have a faint bad feeling in my heart, it's better for us to act quickly. Tang Zheng replied.
"Well, listen to you. Lin Shiyan nodded.
Unconsciously, when it was time to act, Lin Shiyan began to take Lu Qing's opinion as the leader.
The two went to the local county office, looked up Lin Jun's document handover records, and found a handwriting signature on a certain page.
Le Zhilan..
This person Lu Qing has a little impression, she is also a disciple of Yunlan Sect, but she was later cleared by the outer gate, and the specific reason is not recorded. And when she was dismissed, it was the beginning of Lin Jun's frequent travel to Lingtai County.
And what is the connection between this?
After Lu Qing inquired about Lejia's address, he took Lin Shiyan straight to Lejia.
Lejia is also a big family in Lingtai County, and it is not difficult to find.
Along the way, Lu and Lin soon saw a deep house compound on Temple Street north of the county seat.
The courtyard wall is very tall, and it is painted with a layer of gray wall powder, which is the color of good luck in Daxun yellow, vermilion, etc., and ordinary people cannot use it, so they can only use cheap colors such as white gray.
Although Lejia is also a rich man, after all, there is a difference between government and business, and no matter how rich you are, it will be useless.
Walking along the root of the wall to the end, you can see two red lacquered gates guarded by stone unicorns, with two bronze animal heads hanging from their mouths and buckles in their mouths.
The two came to the door and stood still, Lin Shiyan looked at the nearby environment left and right, her eyes were thoughtful, but Lu Qing had already walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
A moment later, the door opened, and an old man with white hair leaned out from behind the door, his eyes were a little vigilant, "Who are you looking for?"
"Le Zhilan, does she live here?" Lu Qing asked with a calm face and a soothing tone.
"Who are you?"
"Qingyun Palace disciple. ”
Hearing the words 'Qingyun Palace', the old man's eyes flickered, and then he hurriedly closed the door.
How do you know that Lu Qing has already smiled and pressed her foot against the door, and her tone is calm and slightly unkind, "What's the matter?"
This seems to be polite, but in fact it is a strong tone, listening to the old man's ears, but it is like a greeting from the god of death, and he finally gave up with all his strength in his hand, and reluctantly opened the door, "Welcome to the immortals!"
Lu Qing stepped in, looked around with both eyes, and asked seemingly casually, "Where is your young lady?"
But there was a glimmer of golden light in his eyes that flashed away, and the spiritual eye of the Qi Sutra had already been activated.
The old man followed Lu Qing and said, "My young lady is in the house, please come with me." ”
Lu Qing nodded noncommittally, followed the old man with his hands behind his back, his eyes seemed to wander around inadvertently, he had a full view of everything around, and his tone was as flat as ever, "Looking at your appearance, Miss Gui seems to have known that we were coming?"
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed slightly, "The matter of the Lin family has been happening for many days, and my Lejia has already heard about it. But Shangxian, my young lady has nothing to do with the crazy white-clothed bandits, please go to the immortals to investigate!"
"I see, let's wait until I see Miss first, it's too early to say anything. Lu Qing smiled.
The two of them had just entered the house, and there had already been a small servant who had passed through the Lejia master, but now before he entered the house, he saw that the Le family and a group of people were waiting in the courtyard.
The first middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe and a wealthy face bowed down to the two of Lulin, "Le Anping didn't know that the immortal envoy of Qingyun Palace was coming, and he brought sixty-seven people from the Lejia Mansion to see the immortals! ”
"The master of the Le family is polite, I am just a little disciple of Qingyun Palace, and I don't deserve to be an immortal, so the head of the family doesn't have to be formal." Lu Qing's eyes did not blink, but he accepted the salute of the other party's family without moving.
Seeing him like this, Lin Shiyan gently twisted his arm behind him, signaling him not to forget the affairs of the people of Wujia Village in Wutou Mountain.
Lu Qing smiled and didn't react at all, a lesson is a lesson, just pay attention in the future, there is no need to give up food because of choking.
Moreover, the Qingyun Palace family has a great cause, while confronting the court, while deterring hundreds of small sects in Daxun, Qingyun disciples are born superior, and they are polite and polite, but if they want to let it go in actual action, they will fall into prestige.
Especially since the two of them are still the apprentices of the head of Qingyun Palace, then they can't show their cowardice in this etiquette, which makes people laugh shamefully.
Here, the master of the Le family had already welcomed the two of them in, and Lu Qing was not polite immediately, Da Ma Jindao sat directly on the upper seat, and there was a feeling of arrogance between his eyes, "We came this time, and I still want to ask about Lin Jun." ”
Although the fairy asked, the little girl and the little girl must know everything. Le Anping pointed to himself, and then pointed to a young girl beside him and replied.
That young girl should be Le Zhilan, she is also pretty and lovely, but she is reluctant to speak with her head down.
Seeing this, Lu Qing glanced her up and down, and said meaningfully: "I heard that Lin Jun once befriended Miss Le, but is there such a thing?"
Of course, he is bluffing, and he does not have any evidence and confession at hand to show that Lin Jun and this Le Zhilan know each other, let alone fall in love.
How do you know that Le Zhilan's face turned pale when she heard this, and then her expression was depressed, and she nodded as if she was resigned to fate, "Back to Shangxian, it's true that there is such a thing.. When I first left home and entered the Yunlan Sect to practice, I was unfamiliar with my life, I was alone, and I felt lonely and frightened. It was the appearance of that Lin Jun who gave me a lot of help in life cultivation that allowed me to settle down. After a long time, I had some feelings with him. I didn't expect it.. He was actually a white-clothed rebel, and he once wanted to pull me into the gang, I was terrified in my heart, and I didn't dare to interact with him anymore, and it just so happened that my talent was also limited, so I simply left Yunlan Palace. ”
Speaking of which, this Le Zhilan was already crying.
Seeing her like this, Lu Qing frowned slightly, "To be precise, his father Lin Wenzhong is the white-clothed evil party, as for whether he is or not, it is difficult to make a conclusion now." ”
Le Zhilan, who was crying in the morning, was stunned when she heard this, "What does the immortal envoy mean that Lin Jun was wronged?"
"It's not wronged, his father is a member of the White Lotus Cult, and according to the laws of the imperial court, he should punish the nine clans, whether he is or not, it doesn't matter much, anyway, for him, it's a 'death' word!" Lu Qing said lightly, "In addition, I heard that Lin Jun has come to Lingtai County several times in the past two years, did he come to you?"
Hearing this, Le Zhilan tapped her head, "Yes." ”
"Do what?"
"This.." Le Zhilan hesitated for a while when she heard this, her eyes secretly glanced at Le Anping, and then quickly looked away.
Le Anping sighed at this time, "Don't blame the immortal envoy, this is my Lejia's ugly, and please ask the immortal envoy to keep the secret for my Lejia!"
Lu Qing nodded, looking serious, "This is natural, as long as you can prove that you are indeed innocent with the Lin family, Qingyun Palace will ensure that your life will not be disturbed and violated." ”
Le Anping, who was assured by him, was still ruthless in the end, and after glancing at Le Zhilan, he whispered, ".. Don't hide the two immortal envoys, the little girl was ignorant of the world at that time, was deceived by the disciples of the Lin family, committed to him and secretly married the beads, and in a panic, she came home, and the time was exactly two years ago!
As he spoke, he got up and bowed, Lu Qing heard the inside story here, and glanced at Le Zhilan again, his eyes flickering.
No wonder she was so sad when she left the palace and went home just now, it turned out that there was such a shy past.
Lin Shiyan tugged at his sleeve, he came back to his senses, helped Le Anping, and said in a serious tone, "I hope that the owner of the Le family can rest assured, it is related to Miss Le's reputation, and it will not ruin people's mouths in the next decision, and my junior sister can testify for me." ”
Le Anping nodded, and sat back in his chair, but his expression was heavy, and he seemed to be still immersed in shame and grief.
Although Lu Qing understood his embarrassment, he couldn't stop the investigation because of this, sorted out his thoughts, and continued to ask, "Then why didn't Lin Jun come to pester Miss again?"
"Alas. The little girl was deceived by that beast, and she has made a big mistake, and she can't give birth to an heir for him anymore, and she has a child out of wedlock. Although my Lejia is not more noble than the high-ranking officials of the Lin family, but it is also an innocent family, how can I suffer such a great humiliation? ! In the end, the little girl took the small birth pill, and then she vented her fetal gas, which can be regarded as a clear line with the Lin family!"
When Le Anping said this, he looked very angry, and then pointed to the sky and said, "The immortal envoy also asks Mingjian, my Le family has suffered this great humiliation, and will never have anything to do with Lin Jun, for more than a year, we don't know whether he is alive or dead." Now that the matter of his Lin family has happened, it can be regarded as the emperor has eyes, and he will not spare the wicked in the end! If we have the slightest clue about Lin Jun, why bother not to confess to the immortal envoy? To tell the truth, I can't wait to see him being broken into thousands of pieces, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
Lu Qing nodded when he heard this, this is also human nature, from this point of view, it is indeed unlikely that Lejia will protect Lin Jun, but if this is the case, his clues will be broken.
Could it be that he really got the wrong direction, should he have gone to Youzhou in the first place?
