fierce fox

Uncle Liu whispered for a while.

In the end, they held Uncle Liu's hand tightly. Although the two did not speak much, they both believed that the other party would not let them down.

That night, the Proton Mansion was assassinated again, and the housekeeper, Uncle Liu, fought hard and was defeated and died.

The sound of swords and swords attracted soldiers from the northern army and general left who were patrolling outside the mansion. The assassin escaped without hurting the comatose aunt proton in the back room.

The soldiers at the scene buried the butler Uncle Liu hastily and reported it to the court. The emperor urgently called Gongsun Jia and others into the imperial study to discuss the matter.

"Why do so many government soldiers patrol and almost succeed?" Mo Hong was a little sullen.If this proton dies of illness, it means that his own life is inevitable, but if something happens under the layers of protection declared to the outside world, it is because of his incompetence.

"The assassin killed the shopkeeper who usually came to deliver meat, pretended to be the same, and fooled the officers and soldiers outside the door."

"In view of what happened last time, most of the officers and soldiers will pay more attention to the corners of the eaves, and for a while, they never thought that this assassin would come in swaggeringly..."

In other words, the modus operandi changed suddenly, and they were caught off guard.

But if the two best teams in the capital couldn't stop them, then who else could stop them.

The Southern Army was different from the Northern Army who was also in charge of public security in central Beijing, and it was impossible for him to send the Southern Army exclusively to guard the palace.

For a while, everyone felt a little helpless.

"Your Majesty," Gongsun Jia said at birth, "General Lin Yiqinglin and I came from the same school. Although they are not a few years older than them, it can be regarded as watching them grow up.

But the old general Lin died early, and his brother and sister guarded the general's mansion alone. It was only a few years after Se Qing got married that Yi Qing also suffered misfortune. Now the only daughter left in the Lin family is this married daughter.

Although Gongsun's mansion is simple and simple, there are enough spare rooms. The minister dared to call himself an elder and was willing to take the hostage to live in Gongsun's mansion for a while.If the proton is willing, Chen can have the room cleaned today. "

Gongsunjia used Lin Yiqing's appearance to play the family card, which reminded Emperor Zhenling of the three of them making troubles in the heavenly palace when they were young, which often caused each of them to be confined in the mansion and punished for copying the words of sages.

The first emperor and the empress dowager met Lin Seqing several times in the early years, and they seemed to like this eccentric girl very much.

Soon after, the first emperor bestowed upon her the title of princess, and specially built a mansion for her, named Princess Changping.

At that time, they were all innocent, and they only thought that it was because Lin Seqing was lovable and sweet-mouthed, and said that the emperor was happy for a while, so he appointed this princess with a different surname.

Even though Lin Seqing didn't want to go there, she still stayed in the much smaller General's Mansion, and the emperor didn't care too much. Every time during the New Years and festivals, she would happily ask Lin Seqing to chat with the queen in the palace to relieve boredom.

The queen has no daughter, and suddenly there is a little girl chattering happily in her ear, which is a rare and interesting sight in the Lonely Palace.

Every time Lin Seqing came back from the palace, she would be fed with a bulging belly, and she could carry a lot of them back to "respect" Lin Yiqing.

This girl is very lucky, she can eat what people in the world can't eat, such as osmanthus cake from Jiangnan, exquisite sugar cake, translucent peach jelly soup...

But when Lin Yiqing got these, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was cold and hard, with no aroma, the sugar cake had melted so much that it was hard to tell whether it was a wild goose or a rooster, and the bowl of peach jelly soup was so full, she still insisted on getting it Lin Yiqing ate up all that was brought back to him, making people dumbfounded.

If it wasn't for the later imperial edict...

On the night of Guan Yue, the mirror of the green tomb is hung, and the cold clouds and autumn are thinning the palace of the Han Dynasty.

All the gains for no reason will eventually be paid back at a thousand times the price.

Lin Seqing's eyes were swollen from crying, and she tugged at Lin Yiqing's robe and refused to accept the order.But at that time, Old General Lin was dead, and Lin Yiqing was still young and weak, not strong enough to fight against the imperial court for her.

No one can protect her under her wings anymore, no one is her safe haven anymore.

Even the queen who treats her sincerely can't do it.

To the emperor, she is just a move ahead of time.

As a courtier, the fate is in the hands of others, who can escape it?

Maybe it was the day she was made a princess, maybe it was the day old General Lin died, maybe it was the day my aunt released the news of peace.

Putting fate in the hands of others is beyond your control.

What's more, the one who made the decree was the person sitting on the dragon chair.

Mo Hong didn't know much about what happened during the period. At that time, he was overseeing the country for the prince, and he was too busy with political affairs, so he didn't have time to visit the little girl who grew up with him.

It was only on the day when Lin Seqing set off that he managed to spare time to practice for her.

And that day, the lively girl who laughed before anyone else said anything, the way she lowered her eyebrows and looked down, made him feel dusty in his heart for no reason.Before leaving, he didn't say a word.

In the short half a year from receiving the imperial decree until everything was ready, even Lin Yiqing seemed to have changed, becoming resolute and silent, with dark eyes.

He was clearly standing in front of his eyes, but it seemed to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, making it difficult for people to see clearly.

Mo Hong's heart ached for no reason at the time, thinking "I seem to be losing him."

That night was the first time in Lin Yiqing's history that he was drunk. He cried while drinking, and shed the tears that were held back when his parents died along with Lin Seqing's departure.

From then on, he was the only one left in the Lin family in the capital, and he had no one else.

☆、Chapter 38

Thinking so far, Mo Hong pressed his brows and sighed, but his words were still inappropriate.

"There is a daughter in Aiqing's mansion who has not yet left the cabinet. Although this Lin Xu can call you uncle, after all, he is an unmarried man and a woman is unmarried. Living together will inevitably lead to rumors and gossip. It will not be good for both sides' reputation."

What Mo Hong said was indeed reasonable.If Lin Xu moved into Gongsun's mansion rashly, it would be more troublesome to deal with the discussion than to guard against thieves, and it would easily hurt both Gongsun Ying and Lin Xu at the same time.

"If it is possible, I would like to spare a room for the proton to live in." Lin Huaiyi stepped forward and said

"There are no female relatives in the general's mansion, there are not many people, and there is some spare room in the side room, so it doesn't matter if there is one more proton."

The General's Mansion is a well-known "haunted house" in the streets and alleys. It is so deserted that there is not even a mouse. The owner's whereabouts are uncertain. Although he has been in the mansion for nearly half a year, he does not know when he will disappear next time.

Occasionally before when the emperor thought of him when he was free, he asked people to see what Lin Huaiyi was doing, either he had just returned from digging soil in some wasteland and was covered in mud, or he closed the door to thank the guests and fell unconscious, or he just went to sleep. Not a single ghost.

If it weren't for a few lamps being lit in the side room and some figures leaked out, the spies thought they had absconded with the whole house.

"It would be an idea if the proton borrowed from you." Mo Hong pondered for a while, and he knew that this was indeed the best way.Lingqu's military strength is good, and he is tentatively scheduled to leave for Shanyan Pass after the year, so with him around, there is no need to worry about someone hurting Lin Xu in the near future.

What's more, there are soldiers from the Northern Army and Gongsun's family going out on patrol, triple insurance, if this can kill people, then it can only be said that the child's life is not good.

"I'll let someone send some daily necessities over later, so the prince won't have to bother to arrange them, just let the hostage go there."

The emperor wants to show the demeanor of the Great Wei, and he is very generous. Later, the items sent to the general's mansion range from spring silk quilts to mink fur cloaks, down to bronze mirrors and porcelain bowls, gold spoons and silver vases. The ladies in the palace still can't get everything in it.

When the cooks moved these to the room reserved for Lin Xu, they immediately illuminated the simple side room into a magnificent scene.

Indeed, as the emperor said, he only needs people to go there, and the mansion already has everything.

But that's all for later.

After discussing how to settle Lin Xu, Emperor Zhen Ling began to ask about the progress of the current cleansing.

"King Hui, how many people have been counted so far? Report to me to hear."

Mo Yunji took a step forward, without referring to any books, he said fluently: "From the information we have obtained so far, a total of more than 100 people have been found in Jizhou, and more than [-] people have been found in Yanzhou. Xuzhou has more than [-] people, Yangzhou has more than [-] people, Jingzhou has more than [-] people, Yuzhou has more than [-] people, Youzhou has more than [-] people, Bingzhou has more than [-] people, and Liangzhou has more than [-] people. There are [-] people in Yongzhou, more than [-] people in Qingzhou, and a total of more than [-] people."

This data made other people gasp. More than 2 people were scattered in the crowd. If it weren't for this determined investigation, in a few generations, wouldn't it take root in Dawei, and there would be endless elimination?

"Where do these people come from?" Mo Hong looked worried.

"Except for the part that I don't admit to death, I have recruited some of the rest. Now I know that there are more than [-] people from Wusun, more than [-] people from Dawan, and more than [-] people from Kangju. People, Kucha... more than two thousand people"

"There are so many dark chess in this tiny place of Kucha, what are they going to do?!" Gongsun Jia turned pale with shock.

At this time, anyone can think of whether Chen Yide and Qiuci have been arrested for communicating with each other. What if they were flirting with each other, so someone took advantage of the loophole and made things bigger?

Even if what Lin Huaiyi said was right, the cowardly Chen Yide didn't have the guts to really do collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, but it did give Qiuci a lot of convenience?

As Gongsun Jia said, what do they want to do?

The answer is obvious.

From this point of view, Qiuci's wolf ambition is not small.

"General Gongsun" Mo Hong turned to Gongsun Jia and asked, "If the war resumes, can the garrisons placed in the Western Regions be enough for us to resist for a while?"

"Returning to the emperor, the most elite troops of our dynasty are guarding the borders for the Great Wei. They are carefully selected from various regions and are qualified to fight on the border after three years of training. And we also always pay attention to the movements of the countries in the Western Regions. If the military defense changes, if the flames of war are rekindled, I believe that the soldiers there will be able to keep our great Wei peaceful."

Gongsun Jia is not an arrogant person, he does things carefully and seriously, and his words are sonorous. If he said that the frontier can be defended, it would indeed leave enough time for Wei to fight back.

And as he said, the generals and ordinary garrisons sent to the border are all elites among the elites, and none of them are scumbags.

Although he was not as decisive as Lin Yiqing, who rejected the aristocratic family's thought of putting people into the army without any face, but he was still very clear about this matter.

Those young masters were all put in useless positions, they could dawdle, but they were useless in battle.

And hearing what he said, several people were also relieved.

"The matter of Qiuci needs to be further investigated. Even if they are not wronged, they must not startle the snake. If they intend to disturb our Great Wei, we will not be afraid of him." Mo Hong said.

"Where did Wu Zhenyu find out?" He turned to Qin Ping and asked.

This poor Zhijinwu Lord Qin himself was a general of the Northern Army, and he used to share the security of the palace with Wei Shaohuanyu of the Southern Army.Now the imperial palace system is complete and heavily guarded, making it difficult to enter and exit. With them around, not even a sparrow can fly out.

The northern and southern armies were established by the first emperor and the empress dowager respectively, and were managed by Wei Wei and Zhi Jinwu.

The south focuses on the management of the front hall and is stationed in Weiyang Palace; the north focuses on the affairs of the harem and is stationed in Changle Palace.

Moreover, Shao Huanyu and Qin Ping are not idle people, they are evenly matched, neither one will accept the other, they both want to do their job better and overwhelm each other, they meet enthusiastically like siblings, but they fight like a raging fire behind their backs , I can't wait to peel off the other side's skin.

The law and order in the capital was originally managed by the third prince. Later, Qin Tianjian suggested that the third prince's life was stubbornly lacking in the infiltration of Buddhism. If he was allowed to develop on his own, he might become a shooter like a Wudao martial artist. The arrogant person will eventually be wrathed by the gods and killed by a thunderstorm.

After the third prince heard these remarks, he packed up obediently and went to Tianmen Temple to practice Buddhism for two years.

He voluntarily resigned from his duties and became a meditator who had nothing to do with all four things. He went to the abbot of Tianshan Mountain to sweep the land for two years and ate vegetarian food for two years.I am sallow and thin after eating, but I am also contented.

After I came back, I didn’t ask the emperor to return to my original position. I locked myself in the mansion for three to five months, copying scriptures, practicing Buddhism, and chanting Bodhi every day. There is no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. I don't want to go anymore, I always talk about breaking up with my past self, watching the six roots become more and more clean without any grass growing.

It wasn't until the emperor became frightened that he forced a lot of "mortal things" to him again, and then forced the next eminent monk who seemed to be welcoming his death to start drinking and eating meat again, and return to the world of mortals.

Because of this incident, the Qin Tianjian, who was watching the sky indiscriminately, was beheaded.

Later, not only because the able ones worked too hard but still couldn't find anyone, the emperor handed over the responsibility of maintaining law and order in Beijing to Qin Ping.

Now Qin Ping seems to spend far more energy on trivial matters in Beijing than in the palace.

I'm afraid that all the credit will be taken away by that Shaohong!

Especially since this matter was brought up, I would be called to the imperial court for questioning from time to time, and I had to be full of energy to deal with it.

"Returning to the emperor, General Wu admitted that he placed the assassin in the Wu family's courtyard on the outskirts of the city, raising him privately for his own use." Qin Ping replied.

This matter has to be attributed to King Yucheng, and I don't know where he found the income and expenditure account books in the Wu family mansion that were reviewed and kept by Mrs. Wu. It seems that they have been prepared for a long time. Discrepancies were found after checking the income and expenses.

The two of them watched for two days and two nights in total, their eyes ached and their heads were almost bald before they found out that Mrs. Wu's share of food and money that was missing from regular deliveries to the side courtyard was suspicious. Immediately, he arrested people with one hand and searched the house with the other hand, and found under the bed the tail ring from the Western Regions that should have been accidentally left by the man in black.

Qin Ping didn't feel relieved until he found the evidence. He was taking great risks when he was instigated by Lin Huaiyi to arrest people and search the house at the same time.

Although it was during the period of strict investigation, it is true that some princes and grandsons were taken into the Tingwei Mansion overnight or were suddenly taken away in black sacks while walking on the road, and even their family members did not know about this sudden incident until someone informed Whereabouts of missing people.

But most of these are people who have conclusive evidence and only need a confession. They are afraid that they will run away after hearing the news, and they will be caught by surprise.

But it really never occurred to him to arrest Qin Ping based on an account book of unknown origin.

However, Lin Huaiyi is very good at bewitching, and he patted his chest to guarantee that this trip will be rewarding and make the Northern Army famous. Obviously, it sounded more like vernacular at that time, and Qin Ping didn't know why So dizzy, he dared to follow him to make a fuss.

Although the emperor Jinkou Yuyan gave them convenience so that they can investigate freely, it does not mean that they can detain important officials of the court unscrupulously. If something goes wrong, it is enough for them to drink a pot.

The shrewd Yin Gu shrugged off Lin Huaiyi's seemingly extremely risky proposal and waited and watched.

Fortunately, the ending is convincing enough.

Not only that, but they also had a windfall.

Under the banyan tree not far from the Wu family courtyard, they found several corpses, both male and female, of different ages.

Those women should be the poor people who died under Wu Nazi's lust when he was still in Beijing, and one of them was identified as a Qin girl in the brothel.Since getting into Wu Nazi's carriage once, he has never shown himself in front of others.

Later, the Wu family paid a lot of money to redeem Qin Niang. Hearing that Wu Nazi liked Qin Niang very much, he wanted to give her back her freedom.

Unexpectedly, the fragrance disappeared, the beauty was broken, and the clothes were stained with blood, and the once famous Qin Niang was found out in this way.

The loess was still naked, and the bitter look was still on his face, Qin Ping couldn't help feeling sad when he saw it, and it was a belated shame to find someone to bury this Qin Niang.

According to Wu Zhenyu, the identities of the men were those servants who knew about Wu Nazi's murder, but these male corpses were not as decomposed as the women's, so Wu Zhenyu must be lying.

The same is to say, if Wu Zhenyu is really innocent in the matter of buying murder, these tragic corpses found under the tree are enough to be used as a rattan whip to tear him apart.

It was only at this time that Qin Ping knew what Lin Huaiyi meant by "there must be a big harvest". It turned out that he had known it a long time ago.Keeping it secret, I kept this hand.

This prince has too many eyes!Fortunately, we are now on the same side as him.

After this incident, Yin Gu, who had doubts about the abilities of Qin Ping and King Yucheng, officially joined their team.

Afterwards, the Tingwei Mansion provided all the help, and everything went smoothly, except for Wu Zhenyu.

"But I still feel that the guerrilla general has concealed a lot of things. He claimed to have revenge and found someone to raise him in Beijing. He wanted to kill his aunt and proton first, and then kill General Gongsunying. Report the hatred together." Qin Ping continued.

"General Gongsunnu kicked his son to a half-mutilation. As a father, he wanted to avenge himself for this. Although it is against the law and went to extremes, it is understandable. What's wrong?" Wang Sizhi asked in disbelief. asked.This also sounds like a reasonable thing.

"On the day of the assassination, General Gongsunnv was also present, as were the prince and four princes. If you want to avenge your son, why not kill General Gongsunnv and the proton together? There is no reason for revenge." Qin Ping replied.

When Wang Sizhi heard Qin Ping say this, he couldn't help but fell silent.

"What Qin Qing means is that Wu Zhenyu is really targeting my aunt this time, not his self-proclaimed revenge." Mo Hong said.

"I do speculate like that, but the truth still needs to be interrogated." Qin Ping replied.

Wu Zhenyu was very stubborn, and he stopped answering other inquiries after telling his own story, which was an extremely difficult nut to crack.

"Well, you still need to worry more about this matter." Mo Hong said.

After dealing with the affairs of the whole day, plus the matter of the Proton Mansion, it was almost Haishi, not only Mo Yunji and others, but also Mo Hong himself, began to feel a little powerless, dizzy and wanted to go back to rest .

So Mo Hong finally asked Lin Huaiyi to treat his aunt's hostage well, and dismissed everyone.

The author has something to say: I changed my mouth so much that I want to cry without tears

☆、Chapter 39

The leaves fall like rain, and the moonlight seems like frost.

Lin Huaiyi, who had been involved in various matters for a day, finally let out a sigh of relief when the carriage stopped in front of the mansion.For more than ten years, he has never felt such a sense of relaxation when returning home, and there is still a vague expectation in his heart.

For thousands of days, he guarded the General's Mansion, which was not his at all, without changing a single plant or tree, in order to preserve the breath of that person and the memory of the two of them.

But today he knew that the man was in the mansion.

He knew that today the emperor would definitely agree to his proposal to move the hostage to the general's mansion, and before entering the palace, Lingqu had already gone to invite someone.

He pushed open the door of the mansion, and it was quiet inside, Lin Xu should still be resting.

He tiptoed to Lin Xu's room. In order not to wake Lin Xu up with his footsteps, he even let out his own meat pad. He approached quietly, holding his breath, and looked at the thin sleeping man with his eyes closed. Green with some sickness.

In the past six months, he was also busy running around, and didn't have much time to go to the Proton Mansion to see Lin Xu, but every time he went, he found that he was thinner than last time, which made him feel distressed.

He blamed himself for the absurd things he did.

After watching it for a long time, he couldn't help but change into his original form, and he got into Lin Xu's arms and licked his face.

Lin Xu: ...

In fact, he had been awake for a while.

It's just that the body is really tired, so I didn't get up and didn't light the lamp, and continued to lie down and rest.

Although he didn't know why he woke up in the General's Mansion, he could guess in his heart.

When Lin Huaiyi returned home, he had already heard the movement, and opened his eyes to watch for a while.See his projection on the pane.But Lin Huaiyi approached so cautiously, so he had no choice but to pretend that he was asleep, so as not to embarrass the prince.

Just didn't expect...

At this moment, he didn't know whether to continue to pretend to be asleep, pretend to have just woken up, or just open up with the prince who has turned into a fox...

"This is a real problem," he thought silently, but kept his eyes closed.

The little fox shook his head and licked and arched. Before he started to move his hands, he was extremely tired, and fell asleep with the fragrance of pine leaves in Lin Xu's arms.

The rest of Lin Xu froze into one piece, neither moving nor not moving.

He remembered that the fox was rubbed and rubbed by him when he was in the Proton Mansion, pulling his ears and scratching his belly from time to time.

Although sometimes it would give Lin Xu a warning bite in order to face it, but most of the time it was still whining in a half-arrogant and half-enjoyed way.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu wished he could chop off his hands that had no bottom line.

What he was pulling was the ear of the only king with a different surname in the Great Wei, what he was scratching was the belly of General Lin's adoptive son, what he was rubbing was the face of the adoptive son of the emperor's third uncle, King Rui...

"You can tell me what to do." He said softly to the little fox who was sleeping soundly.

No wonder the last time the fox messed with the rice paper on which he was practicing calligraphy, the prince who came to deliver the books the next day also had faint ink stains on his hands.

No wonder the fox always came to make trouble with him when he was in a gloomy mood, as if he knew what happened to him during the day, the little one came to soothe his heart.

But this fox had appeared in the Proton Mansion a long time ago. According to that time, he was not very familiar with King Yucheng, although he had some strange feelings towards this astonishing prince when he met him for the first time.

But Lin Xu is quite self-aware, he is not yet to the point where the prince can come here to please him.

There are outstanding people in Beijing, some of them are more talented and more beautiful than him.

And those weird dreams...

Is it true?

He believes in the origin of cause and effect, past lives and present lives.

He also likes to hunt for novelties. He has heard all the stories about ghosts and gods in the Western Regions. He even went to the Kunlun Miasma Forest to look for the legendary Bei Xuanwu who controls the wind and rain, but he just couldn't find it. , A full eighty miles away.

He is extremely curious and full of energy. Before others, he follows the rules and is educated and reasonable. After others, he only picks thrilling and exciting things to explore desperately.

But today the prince really caught him off guard.

With a bitter face, Lin Xu quietly opened a slit of his eyes, looking at the fox in his arms who was oblivious to the situation.

The slender eyelids of this little creature are covered with black eyelashes, which are as soft as the hair on its body.Lin Xu couldn't help blowing gently, and the eyelashes swayed with the wind.

Seeing Lin Xu's heart itching, he stretched out his coquettish hand that he thought about chopping off just now, and gently stroked the tuft of eyelashes.

The fox woke up in a daze, stretched out his front hooves to pat the dishonest hands, rubbed them against the warm embrace, and fell asleep again.

This little spirit himself is the smooth and steady Duke Meng Zhou.Lin Xu, however, looked at the fluffy ball in his arms, breathing one after another, and completely lost sleepiness.

Until dawn, Lin Xu began to feel dizzy again, half asleep and half fainted.

It is not suitable for a sick person to go to bed late, such a restless night makes the fever come back.

Chen Shi's muffled cough woke the fox up.

He probed Lin Xu's forehead and found that it was hotter than yesterday, so he hurriedly got up and rushed back to the medicine room to pick up the medicine and fry it.

At this moment, Lingqu also happened to pass by the pharmacy to go to the dining room for breakfast. Hearing the commotion in the pharmacy, he hurried in to have a look, only to see that this fox was in full swing in the medicine mortar, pounding a medicine that was so green that it was almost a monster, while fighting. Steam was rising from the earthenware pot on the firewood, and from time to time, one foot would fan the firewood, as if all four feet were not enough.

Because it is too close to the firewood, the whole fox looks like a tabby cat.

Lingqu sighed, drove away the little fox and asked him to go back and change his clothes so as not to scare Mr. Lin, and started making medicine with ease.

Lin Xu was a little drowsy and smelled the bitter smell of medicine. It was because he had been accompanied by all kinds of bitter smells almost every day in the past six months.

But today, I don't know what was added to this medicine, and it smelled particularly bitter and astringent, so I unconsciously gritted my teeth and refused to drink it.

This aunt prince is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is afraid of suffering.

Lin Huaiyi, who was carrying the bowl, had no choice but to go to his room to get the candied fruit that was secretly eaten under the bed, cut it into small pieces and fed it to Lin Xu bit by bit.

When the sweet and sour ebony plum entered his mouth, he loosened his clenched teeth a little. Lin Huaiyi poured a spoonful into the gap without missing a beat, and waited triumphantly for Lin Xu to swallow the medicine.

As a result, this man wasted money!

He was so sick that he was able to accurately divide the candied fruit and chew it. He refused to drink a drop of the medicine, and it flowed out of his mouth again after holding it for a while.

When Lin Huaiyi saw it, he exploded into firecrackers.This Bingzhi grass is not easy to preserve. Although Lin Yiqing ran to the polar cold river to pick it, he still spent a lot of effort. When did he become so prodigal?

I don't even think about the fact that the fox still refused to drink it back then, and it was useless to drag a sick body around and do anything.

He remembered that Lin Yiqing forcefully opened his mouth and poured it in.

Very brutal.

Saibei is barren, and the mountain roads are not as fully developed as in the Central Plains. A fruit tree on the road is enough to make a fox cry with joy. How can there be candied fruit to eat like now!

He drank ten stalks of this unpalatable drink, and one stalk could soak for five days without losing its taste, a full fifty days!

Lin Huaiyi ran back to the bedroom, took out the sophora japonica honey from his private house, scooped three big spoonfuls and stirred it in a bowl until it melted completely. Xu then began to swallow the medicine in small mouthfuls.

After a bowl of medicine, both of them were sweating hot in this cold winter.

But once the sweat breaks out, it may be that the Bingzhi herb is very effective. The temperature on Lin Xu's forehead has dropped a little, and it is no longer as hot as before.

Lin Huaiyi cleaned up the medicine juice at the corner of Lin Xu's mouth, helped him change the clothes that were soaked in the medicine, let him lie flat on the bed again, covered the quilt, put an ice towel on his forehead, and explained The patrolling soldiers in the mansion cheered up and rushed to Tingwei's mansion to continue the unfinished business.

Now there is still some time before Lin Xuman turns [-], and the spell that the old god cast on him is rounding up. He wants to take care of Lin Xu's affairs in the capital in this short period of time, but he can't When he woke up, he found that he had fallen into a predicament again, and his life was a mess.

It's just pitiful for this natural creature, who has never taken mundane matters to heart, but still guards from nine to five in the noisy Tingwei's mansion, arresting people and interrogating people.

Seeing him coming, Qin Ping, who was sitting at the door eating chicken bones, waved at him. His five oily paws shone brightly in the light, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a line, like a canopy marshal descending to earth, where is he going? It is like a treasure of a town house, a breathing food storage.

Yin Gu, who was sipping Kudingcha next to him, seemed much more normal.

"The two missing escorts have been found," he said to Lin Huaiyi. "It was made into a human pig, soaked in a wine tank, and was teased in a dark village in the east."

When their spies found these two people, one of them was festered and covered with pustules, and died not long after; the other was completely insane, with no hands, no legs, and unconsciousness. Anyone who approached would go crazy, as if Biting like a mad dog.

But what they bite every time is the animal carcasses, iron chains, and coarse cloth handed over by others.

In the face of darkness, people's imagination is endless, and even the evil spirits in the eighteenth hell can feel ashamed.

"Take both of them back. Chang'an is their territory, and they can't die in a foreign land without knowing why." Lin Huaiyi said.

"Will... the dead ones be brought back?" Hearing this, Qin Ping couldn't eat any more chicken bones, and his whole face was wrinkled together.

"Well, bring it back, add more ice cubes, try to preserve it better and return to Beijing. Spend some money to find an embalmer to put on some makeup, so that relatives can feel better when they receive the corpse."

I didn't expect the prince to have such a heart of kindness, which is somewhat inconsistent with the rumors.Yin Gu secretly said.

He is naturally willing to do these things that can save virtue, after all, for him, it is just spending more money, and it can also make the reputation of Tingwei Mansion good, so why not do it?

Right now, he wrote a book to the spies stationed in the east, so that they could bring him back with ease.

"Wu Zhenyu will definitely not admit to this matter." Lin Huaiyi said.

"That's right, this old thief doesn't know why, it's enough for him to die just by buying murder and doing evil, but it's just a secret human trafficker business, what's wrong with it?" Qin Ping said.

Lin Huaiyi did not reply, and looked at the direction of the prison and thought for a long time.

"I'll meet him." He immediately got up and walked towards the cold and damp prison.

Wu Zhenyu's cubicle is located in the last one on the first floor. He walked through the prison cells where all kinds of people were imprisoned, and his ears were filled with their low growls and cries. bloody smell.

Lin Huaiyi's face was a little ugly, his footsteps were heavy, and he forced himself to walk to Wu Zhenyu's cubicle and let the guards take him to the interrogation room.

The Wu Zhenyu in front of me now is very different from the old father who kowtowed in front of the imperial court half a year ago to plead for mercy, or murdered and buried his son without conscience, with gray hair, sunken eye sockets, skinny only withered bones and high cheekbones Appears to be more mean.

Sitting in front of the blood-stained instrument of torture behind him, he looked at Lin Huaiyi without changing his face.

"It's been a long time, little prince. Why are you free to come here today?" He seemed to see that Lin Huaiyi was not used to the dungeon environment, knew that he would not stay for a long time, and delayed time unscrupulously.

Lin Huaiyi really felt a little bad at the moment.

He knew that he shouldn't stay in a bloody place for a long time, especially in a dungeon that never sees the sun and is airtight, which can easily stimulate his bloodthirsty nature.

So even if he is interrogating people, that is to invite people to the interrogation room on the ground of Tingwei Mansion, find someone to serve tea and water, and frankly threaten and lure.

It is rare to be alone today.

The author has something to say: lost horse

☆、Chapter 40

"I haven't seen General Wu for a long time. Xiaosheng came to visit. See if the Tingwei Mansion has neglected the general." He suppressed the strong discomfort from body to heart, and exchanged greetings with Wu Zhenyu.

"That's not necessary. With a careless move, Mr. Wu has now been reduced to a prisoner. What does the prince call General Wu?"

"The Wu family has been guarding the northwest for several generations, and everyone is loyal. Anyone who knows this story will definitely admire the Wu family." Wu Zhenyu sneered and stopped talking.

Know this story?

Does it mean that the descendants were recalled to Beijing as hostages and foolishly guarded the frontier for the royal family?

Admired?

Those people are secretly laughing at this so-called loyal Wu family.

Simply ridiculous.

Lin Huaiyi saw the slight change of expression on Wu Zhenyu's face, called the jailer, stuffed him with a heavy piece of silver, and said, "This official, please go upstairs and get a bag of the new tea I brought."

The jailer understood, and went upstairs to fetch tea with the soldiers standing guard next to him.

Lin Huaiyi found someone to observe the Wu Mansion for a long time, and he knew clearly the preferences of all the servants and servants in this mansion.It was even recorded in a book and placed in the study.

Wu Zhenyu still looked at the purple clay tea set on the desk unmoved, waiting for Lin Huaiyi to speak first.

After Lin Huaiyi and others walked away, they said softly, "I have sent someone to find your son's body. It should be on the way to Beijing at this moment. I have drawn up the entry document for him, so that Mr. Wu can come back and be buried in the Wu family ancestral hall."

The light in Wu Zhenyu's eyes flickered, "Then... I will thank you, my lord."

"It doesn't matter, Huangtian Houtu is definitely not a human tomb. As long as one person is alive and can collect the corpse, his soul will definitely return to his hometown." Lin Huaiyi smiled self-deprecatingly.

At this moment, Wu Zhenyu also remembered that this prince also lost his relatives in that desolate Gobi, and was sent back and forth as gifts after returning to Beijing, so he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"A few days ago, your lady came to see me." Lin Huaiyi continued, "She said that the ninth day of next month is the general's birthday, and she asked me if I could accommodate and bring a bowl of noodles for the general."

Hearing the news about his wife, Wu Zhenyu slowly lifted his
