Lin Xiudao: "Not long after we met her..."

After briefly talking to Zhao Lingyin about what happened yesterday, Zhao Lingyin clenched her fists and said, "Well done, such a person should be killed!"

Lin Xiudao: "Yes, that girl is really a chivalrous woman. Some people cannot be punished by the law, so she will accept them."

Zhao Lingyin showed guilt on his face, and said to Lin Xiu: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that yesterday..."

Lin Xiu patted her on the head gently, and said, "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing better than being kind."

If Lin Xiu dared to do this kind of action to her at any other time, what Zhao Lingyin would have given her in return would have been a clean shoulder throw, but today, Zhao Lingyin endured it.

She had been living in the well before, and it was Lin Xiu who allowed her to see the whole picture of the world.

Forgive him this time.

When she came out of the School of Different Arts, Lin Xiu did not go to the Martial Arts Academy to practice.

You don't need to practice martial arts, but the imperial concubine must watch it.

Of course, this time, he didn't go empty-handed.

He brought a pot of wintersweet to the imperial concubine, which was carefully selected at the flower and bird market in Dongcheng. There are many flowers planted in the small garden of Changchun Palace, which shows that the imperial concubine is a flower lover.

But in winter, all the flowers in the garden withered. Lin Xiu noticed this when she went to Changchun Palace last time.

She is bored in the palace on weekdays, teasing the birds and raising flowers can also cultivate her mood.

In fact, Lin Xiu has seen so many concubines in the palace, and the imperial concubine should be the loneliest one among all the concubines.

Lin Xiu also thought about the reason.

Among the concubines in the harem, except for the newcomer who just entered the palace, everyone else has heirs. When Lin Xiu was making ice in the harem, those little princes and princesses made trouble for him. Lin Xiu was almost annoyed to death. Can't say can't scold.

At that time, his favorite places to go were the Changchun Palace of the Imperial Concubine and the Qianqiu Palace of the Concubine Shu.

The palace of the empress and concubine Xian is too depressing, and the palace of other concubines is too noisy, only the imperial concubine and concubine Shu are quiet.

Of course, being noisy isn't all bad.

With children by my side, arguing and making noise, at least I won't feel lonely.

Although Concubine Shu has no children around her, Li Baizhang often visits her in Qianqiu Palace, and the dog emperor also often goes to Qianqiu Palace. Of course, she will not be lonely.

The imperial concubine is different. Although she is one of the most favored concubines in the harem, she has no children and only has a spiritual pet to accompany her.

Otherwise, Lin Xiu can send her off, but the child can't do anything.

No, he has abilities, but the Emperor Dog would not be willing.

So Lin Xiu could only go to see her by herself.

In the Changchun Palace, the imperial concubine carefully repaired the flower branches and said: "I thought you would not come today."

Lin Xiu stood beside her and said, "Some things were delayed in the morning, my lord, forgive me."

The imperial concubine gave him a white look, and said: "There is nothing to blame for this. If you have something to do, just take care of your own affairs. The girl is very good these days, and you don't need to take a look at it every day. It's good to come once every ten and a half months."

Lin Xiu smiled slightly, but did not speak.

What's so good about a little thing? Although it is much smarter than other animals, it is equivalent to a five- or six-year-old human girl. It has no heart and lungs. You just need to feed it, play with it, and talk to it. , it is no trouble.

On the contrary, it was the imperial concubine herself who needed Lin Xiu's attention.

Seeing that Lin Xiu hadn't spoken for a long time, the imperial concubine began to feel nervous.

He wouldn't listen to her, and really only come once in ten and a half months from now on, right?

The imperial concubine is very regretful now, why did she say that sentence just now?

What if Lin Xiu really doesn't come anymore?

Her mind was in a mess, and her hands were also in a mess. She almost cut off a flower branch that shouldn't be pruned, but she still pretended to be indifferent: "It's not ten days and a half months, at most five days, no, three days... , or two more days, I am worried that my daughter is not used to it, and you can tell that my daughter likes you very much..."

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Then I'd better come once every two days, after all, the empress's spiritual pet is important."

Lin Xiu didn't stay in Changchun Palace for long today, the reason is that the mother in the Palace of the Empress Dowager came to Changchun Palace and asked the imperial concubine to come over. No one here dares to mess with it.

Not long after, in the Longevity Palace.

The Empress Dowager looked at the imperial concubine who came in from the outside, a smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and she said, "Here comes the niece, come to the emperor's grandmother quickly..."

The noble concubine walked up to the empress dowager, held her hand, and said shyly, "It's been so many years, and the imperial grandmother still calls people by their baby names..."

The Empress Dowager patted her hand and said with a kind smile, "Even if it has been many years, you are still the daughter of the imperial grandmother."

……

After leaving the palace, Lin Xiu saw that it was still early, so she walked towards the Qing officials.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly frowned and looked backward.

There was no one there except old beggars and peddlers.

Lin Xiu turned her head, and after walking a dozen steps, that feeling reappeared.

He turned around again, and there was still nothing behind him.

The old beggar looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "Why do I feel like someone is following me?"

The old beggar glanced at him and said, "Someone is following you, will the two of us not notice that you are questioning our profession?"

Lin Xiu shook his head. Behind him was the imperial palace, and there was indeed no one in the middle, because he had to be on guard against the prince's assassination every day, which made him a little paranoid.

Not long after the three of them left, there was a faint sound from somewhere in the void behind them.

"You're not low alert, you actually sensed me..."

Chapter 111 Female Assassin

When Lin Xiu came to the Cleaning Department, he found that two policemen were pasting something on the outer wall of the Cleaning Department.

He took a closer look and found that what the two of them had posted was a wanted warrant.

On the wanted notice, a woman is drawn.

The woman was not very old, and she looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with almond eyes and a fine nose, and a very beautiful appearance. Her hair was not tied up, but tied high behind her head, and she looked very heroic.

The amount of silver reward on the arrest warrant is astonishing.

A full 10 taels of silver.

Lin Xiu remembered that the court had an upper limit on the amount of rewards offered to wanted criminals, which was about 1 taels. Even for the most vicious gangsters, the official rewards would not be higher than this figure.

The reason why this woman's silver reward is so high is because there are many dignitaries in the capital, including Uncle Zhongyong and Uncle Wenchang, one adds five thousand, and the other adds ten thousand.

All the heirs of their family died at the hands of this female assassin.

The woman who offered the reward order was the female assassin that Lin Xiu had admired for a long time.

Her most recent achievement was to stand up for a brothel girl who was forced to death in the Department of Clean Officials, and killed Zheng Jian, the son of Wen Changbo. Among the dignitaries, only Wen Changbo offered a reward of 5 taels, vowing to catch the female assassin.

Lin Xiu glanced at her mouth, let alone 10 taels, even if they increased the reward to 100 million taels, it would have no effect.

His ability is stealth. Among the gourd brothers, although the sixth baby is not very good at fighting, but in terms of difficulty, he is definitely ahead of the seventh brother.

You can't even see others, and you're scratching your ass.

If she hadn't missed a certain assassination and was forced out of her figure by a powerful magician, people still don't know what she looks like.

But speaking of it, this female assassin is really beautiful, especially her heroic spirit, which is very chivalrous.

Lin Xiu asked for her arrest warrant and planned to take it back for collection.

In the Cleaning Officials Department, just as Lin Xiu walked in, Liu Qingfeng came out of a yamen room. When he saw Lin Xiu, he showed a smile on his face, strode over, and said, "Lord Lin, I happen to have something nice to tell you. Congratulations to Lord Lin for his promotion!"

Lin Xiu asked in surprise, "Gao Sheng, what Gao Sheng?"

From Liu Qingfeng's mouth, Lin Xiu learned that he had been promoted.

From a document in the file warehouse to the head of the arrest department, from a small official with a low rank to a small official with a low rank.

Before doing it, Lin Xiu might refuse.

Because this official position is very busy, and the status of civil servants in Daxia is not high, even if they are third-rank or fourth-rank, in the eyes of the dignitaries, they are just dogs who work for them, let alone eight-rank masters.

Lin Xiu, the son of a second-class uncle, even the doctor wants to save face, isn't he much better than a small master?

But this time, Lin Xiu did not refuse.

If he is just a small clerk, when encountering certain things, he can only watch helplessly.

Although the official position of the principal is small, the power is not small. In many cases, he can even exercise the power of the doctor.

Hearing that Lin Xiu was promoted, Liu Qingfeng was even happier than him, and said: "Master Lin is really a talent when he is a clerk. Your ability can play a real role in the arrest department."

Lin Xiudao: "I still have to practice on weekdays. I'm afraid I don't have much time in the yamen. I have to rely on Mr. Liu for most of the things. If there is anything you can't handle, come to me..."

Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Lin, I won't bother you on weekdays, and I would like to ask Master Lin to help you with those cases that I'm not capable of investigating..."

Although Lin Xiu's promotion has been decided, the official appointment has not yet been made.

He was sitting in the file library, flipping through a file in his hand.

This is a detailed case file that he asked Liu Qingfeng to record in front of Pinfang Building in person yesterday.

In this dossier, apart from Zheng Jian who was unshirkably responsible for Haitang's death, there was another person who couldn't shirk the blame.

The second son of Huang Guogong's mansion, Huang Tao.

It can even be said that Zheng Jian is just a dog, and the real culprit is Huang Tao.

Yesterday, when Mr. Langzhong tried the case, he didn't mention a word to Huang Tao, because it was useless to mention it.

The Huang family is a third-class family like the Xue family, and there is a high-ranking concubine in the harem, who is a daughter of the Huang family, just a brothel girl, not to mention she committed suicide, even if she was killed by Huang Tao himself, The Qing officials could not cure him of his crime.

Daxia's laws are for the common people, not for the powerful.

But Haitang had to avenge her revenge.

Lin Xiu will definitely kill this person.

With his current status and strength, it is naturally impossible to do anything to Huang Tao on the bright side, and even covert methods are useless.

Lin Xiu thought about borrowing the prince's hand.

But after thinking about it, the prince couldn't even kill him, let alone the grandson of the third-class prince.

This useless thing can't be counted on at all.

Lin Xiu is not in a hurry, the prince is not afraid, Huang Tao is naturally nothing, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, if there is no opportunity now, it does not mean that there will be no chance in the future, as long as you are patient, you can always wait until you kill him good chance.

When leaving the Cleaning Department, Lin Xiu saw two police officers talking to an old man at the door.

When passing by, he casually asked, "What's wrong?"

A policeman said: "Master Lin, this old man said that his family's land has been taken over by the landlord, and he wants the government to help him decide, but we don't care about this kind of thing..."

The Cleansing Department is specialized in handling criminal cases. It is true that regardless of these civil disputes, any trivial matter must be handled by the Cleaning Department. They are simply too busy.

Hearing this, the old man's eyes dimmed, and he said: "I have been to Beicheng Yamen, they said I have no evidence, I have also been to Xicheng Yamen, they said it is not a case under their jurisdiction, they don't care, I don't know which Yamen to go to , that is the only piece of grain-producing land in the family, if it disappears, the family will starve to death next year..."

The duties and powers of these yamen in the capital are somewhat unclear. It is common for the major yamen to push each other, and the common people don't know where to appeal their grievances.

Lin Xiudao: "People's life is not easy, the old man is here, you two will help him to see."

The two policemen showed bitter expressions. This was not their duty. They are about to go to the office, and they have to run with the old man. It's freezing cold, so it's good to stay at home, who wants to go out and run around? ...

Lin Xiu glanced at the two of them, took out two pieces of silver from her sleeve, and said, "This is your foreign business, this is the dispatch fee."

When the two heard the words, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately took the money.

These two pieces of broken silver, let alone two taels each, were their monthly salary.

Compared with Yin Zi, running errands is nothing, the two immediately smiled and said: "The errand that Mr. Lin told us, we will do it right away!"

To Lin Xiu, silver is just a number.

He doesn't have high requirements for life, and the one percent profit of the restaurant every month is enough for the Lin family to live comfortably, not to mention the perfume shop that is about to open, his money will only increase in the future.

Anyway, these are for the rich and powerful, and most of the rich and powerful rely on exploiting the people. This can be considered as taking from the people and using them for the people. Lin Xiu doesn't feel bad at all.

In the cold wind, the old man knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said, "Thank you sir, thank you sir, you are a good official..."

He had run into walls in several government offices, and this was the first good official he met all day today who was willing to help him.
