Duke Ling knew about the death of his son, but there was no movement in Duke Ling's mansion, but the emperor was furious when he knew about it, and personally ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and summoned General Luo, who was guarding the border far away.

The eldest son's mother family is Luo Sen who guards the northern border. General Luo has only one prostitute daughter, who later married Ling Guogong and gave birth to the eldest son Ling Han.

The Luo family only has Ling Han, the only grandson, and the family member is pitifully weak!The son just died in Dongxun City for no reason, can the emperor be willing?Even if it is to appease the soldiers on the frontier, the emperor will not give up easily.

Zhou Lin, the governor of Anzhou, went to see the dead son's body angrily. At this moment, He Qiongxin, Zhou Lin's counselor, came in. Zhou Lin's complexion suddenly changed.

Zhou Lin hurriedly apologized to the patriarch, and led He Qiongxin to the side hall in a hurry, closed the door tightly, and guarded a layer of guards with knives outside, then let go of his voice and asked, "Are you sure that is the prince!"

He Qiongxin narrowed his eyes, "On the fiftieth birthday of the old lady of the Duke of Ling's mansion, his subordinates personally came to the door to congratulate him with gifts. Among the children who love and love so much at the knees, only the eldest son is surrounded by stars and the moon, intimately hugged by the old Duke and his wife. After a few years, the appearance of the eldest son may change, but no matter what, the subordinates will never forget him Those eyes, those are innocent and pure pupils, anyone who sees them will unconsciously want to get close to them, but it's a pity that such a heartless person was born in Duke Ling's mansion."

Listening to He Qiongxin's words, Zhou Lin walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning.

"My lord, why are you still hesitating?" He Qiongxin looked back at Zhou Lin in confusion.

"I'm wondering if I want to break with Ling Hanfu!"

Zhou Lin turned his head and glared at He Qiongxin, angrily scolded.

Dongxun City is under the control of Anzhou, and the magistrate of Dongxun City was scolded bloody by Zhou Lin for this matter, but Zhou Lin shouldered a great responsibility for this matter, he could never Pushing the responsibility to his subordinate county magistrate, when he heard that the son died young, Zhou Lin's first thought was to hope that the son was intact.

When Zhou Lin heard He Qiongxin's words, he was both surprised and happy. Of course it's good that the son is not dead, but——

Seeing that Zhou Lin was still hesitating, He Qiongxin said suddenly, "My lord, the eldest son is the grandson of General Luo; but Ling Hanfu is just the son of the declining concubine of Marquis Wei Qi. What's more, once General Luo leaves northern Xinjiang, the people there The Hulu will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and the people will be harassed, even if the emperor sends generals to go there, if the soldiers are not familiar with the generals, if they are defeated, who will bear the consequences."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Lin pinched the corner of his clothes, his brows knit together.

Luo Sen has always been loyal, and the emperor is very relieved of him.This time because of Ling Han's death, he was forced to recall him out of helplessness.Moreover, the emperor issued a death order to thoroughly investigate this matter. This was to give an explanation to General Luo.Of course Zhou Lin understands this point, and he also knows what He Qiongxin means. Now that the prince is living outside, he is still pretending to be ugly on the street and buying donkeys from street people... It is okay if this matter is not investigated. Once it is investigated, the emperor will know The truth, as soon as Zhou Lin thought about it, he felt cold at the base of his neck.

"let's go!"

Zhou Lin finally nodded. He was not loyal to the son, nor did he dislike Ling Hanfu. He was just responsible for his official position and his family.

A group of people came out of the side hall and rushed to the outside of Ling's ancestral hall. He rushed to the place as soon as possible to protect the son!

At this time, a handsome young man in a plain robe suddenly came out and blocked Zhou Lin's way, "Master Zhou, where are you going?"

Zhou Lin was taken aback for a moment, and looked at him with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, but he could not feel the slightest sharpness. There was always a gentle luster in his smile, his nose was cut like a knife, but it made people feel at ease. People felt that he seemed to be smiling, but Zhou Lin was in the officialdom, and he knew clearly that even if the person in front of him was smiling, it was not from the real meaning.

"Eldest son, the son is not dead." Zhou Lin said immediately when he saw that Ling Hanfu had arrived.

"My third brother must be dead. A servant saw it with his own eyes. The murderer even stole my third brother's badge. Mr. Zhou, you can find out the murderer. Don't let the murderer escape from the city." Ling Hanfu His eyes were heavy, he stared at Zhou Lin, and stated word by word. The tone was not a complaint, but more like a warning... "Master Zhou might as well stay and drink some tea before leaving."

Zhou Lin smiled slightly, instead of rebutting, he just said, "The next official is responsible for finding the son back, and the rest is up to you, Eldest Young Master." He flung his sleeves and walked away.

Ling Hanfu's previously gentle eyes turned cold and ferocious in an instant. He stared at Zhou Lin's rushing figure, and the fists at his side clenched little by little, making an ear-piercing sound: This Zhou Lin doesn't know how to flatter him!

Gao Yang stepped forward, "Young Master, do you want to get rid of Zhou Lin?"

Ling Hanfu smiled coldly, and once again regained his original gentleness and humility, "Don't touch him, this person must live, and he will also bear the guilt of my third brother's death!"

"Over there..."

"What are you in a hurry for? Shouzheng has passed." Ling Hanfu said, his smile became more and more like a spring breeze.

Ling Hanfu heard what Zhou Lin and He Qiongxin said just now, hiding in the next door, and the reason why he came out was entirely to delay time.At this time, Shouzheng rushed to Dongxun City early, even if Zhou Lin wanted to save Ling Han, it was too late!

There was a lot of shouting and noise in the market, and the people on the inner and outer floors surrounded the horses and donkeys, pointing and commenting constantly.

"Why can't I sell my horse? You should tell me the reason first!" The middle-aged fat man who sold horses and donkeys pointed at Ling Han and said angrily.

A young man came and offered 15 taels of silver to buy his horse.My horse is a Maxima, and 15 taels is enough to reduce the price. This little boy with a blurred face and an ugly birthmark on his face won't let this young man buy a horse!Don't let yourself sell the horse!The middle-aged fat man was very angry.

The young man's hands were a little slender and soft and white, and when they fell on Zong Se's horse, they looked even more slender and white like jade. Such hands are definitely not something that ordinary people can raise. Meng Xian also noticed these hands, and was about to say something, young man But he nodded his chin at him, and the tone of command was only moderate, even with a kind of tenderness, "Ride on and have a look."

"Hey, hey! You can't ride this horse!" The middle-aged fat man who sold the horse had a greasy face. When he heard that he wanted to ride this horse, he tried his best to stop him. "You can only ride a horse if you buy it. Before you buy it, you can't ride it!"

"Then can you let me touch your donkey?" The young man pointed at the two donkeys and asked instead.

"...You can't touch it either!" The horse seller hesitated for a while, and finally said firmly through gritted teeth.

"There's no reason why you shouldn't touch something when you buy something. You can't justify it." The young man said, and the people who watched the excitement and passed by sighed. Everyone wanted to see what the young man would say.

"I told you not to touch it, what can you do with me, or you can buy it from another house! See if you can still buy such a good horse!" The horse seller snorted triumphantly while grabbing the shiny mane. He didn't sell horses either, he was sure of that.

The young man's eyes were pure, and his phoenix eyes were fixed on Meng Xian, the young man who bought the horse.In the previous life, this person was chopped alive by Yan Helian.

In addition to being shocked, Ling Han was more apologetic. In his new life, Ling Han did not expect that he would meet him in Dongxun City.

Meng Xian wanted to buy a Maxima, but Ling Han thought the two donkeys were more suitable.

"Here's the money, I'll buy this horse!"

Meng Xian avoided Ling Han's sight uncomfortably, and said hastily.

"Since it's a top-notch horse, I'll pay a high price! Why don't you sell it to me?" Ling Han said as he jumped over the middle-aged fat man, and flew onto the horse when he was surprised.

As soon as Ling Han landed on the horse's back, the horse writhed joyously, its whole body was dishonest, neighing into the sky from time to time, and its legs stood upright, obviously trying to put the person on its back down!

Meng Xian was terrified, and rushed forward to grab the horse, but since he joined the army, he had no luck with horses. He usually practiced shield infantry assassination strategies, but he couldn't understand the opposite horse, and he couldn't control it for a while. .

"Get out of the way."

Ling Han yelled, and immediately jumped off the horse, his movements were so coherent and handsome.Meng Xian was surprised, he didn't expect this little brother to possess martial arts, but when he dismounted, his left arm was a little weak, when Ding Qing looked, there was a bright red faintly there.

Meng Xian opened his mouth inexplicably and wanted to go up to care about him, but when he stepped forward, Meng Xian realized that he and this little brother did not know each other at all.

Ling Han's black eyes were shining brightly, and he looked at the middle-aged fat man, "Since it is a thousand-mile horse, you should ride it with your back when you meet Bole. Your horse is noble, and no one can ride it. Does it have to be ridden by someone?"

Suddenly there was a roar of laughter all around.

The middle-aged fat man's face turned blue from suffocation, and his expression was timid. He didn't expect that this seemingly thin-skinned and tender-looking young man could recognize his saddle at a glance. He obviously did the most complete cover-up.Even grooms who specialize in feeding horses may not be able to—

Seeing Meng Xianyi's puzzled eyes, Ling Han stretched out his arms and reached for the saddle. The middle-aged fat man's expression flickered, and he came to rescue him in a panic, but it was too late, and with a thud, the faded mane was crushed by Ling Han. Han pulled it off, and suddenly a large piece of deformed spine was exposed on the horse's back. Ling Han sneered, "This horse has already been injured, but you found some sticky mane elsewhere. Get on the back of this horse and make a good first charge, is this what you call a thousand-mile horse?"
