I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

42 Stop Drinking and Worry About Yourself

Yaojie Academy, in the bamboo house.

Even though it was approaching March and Wen Qing was weak, the charcoal basin was still burning in the room.With the last white light before dusk, he lightly flipped a page of the book by the window, and heard the soft sound of the wood door.

The spirit mouse Xiaowen rushed into Wenqing's arms, but the latter didn't raise his eyes, but coughed lightly, "Here we are."

"...Brother." Jiang Lin pushed the door open and put the brocade box on the window sill, "I brought the Moonlight Pearl back."

Seeing Wen Qing raise his eyes indifferently, Jiang Lin always felt guilty in his heart.

Although facing Wen Qing's temptation last time, Jiang Lin used a seal to fool him and did not leave any handwriting.Wen Qing didn't say much at the time, and explained the origin of the Moonlight Pearl to him.

But after all, Wen Qing was the first person to find out that his identity was different, and Jiang Lin always felt that the other party would not trust him so easily.

But the development of the story is like a web that is becoming more and more dense, and Jiang Lin can't always escape.Whether it's his own identity or the matter related to his senior brother, it may be related to what he is going through now, so he has to ask to understand.

Wen Qing didn't react too much to Jiang Lin's timely return of the pearl, which made Jiang Lin nervously leaning on the window sill, and said, "Um... Senior brother, can I ask your family, Xiangyang Wen family..."

"But what did you remember?" Wen Qing put the book aside.

Jiang Lin thought that Wenqing was a Taoist after all, and maybe he didn't have a close relationship with his family, but seeing the other party's question, it should mean that he had dealt with the Wen family before.

"Uh, it's vague. But thinking about it will give you a headache."

Jiang Lin deliberately asked Bai Yutang, who also lived in the south, about the Wen clan.But the latter did not tell him much information, only that the Wen family used to be a wealthy family in Xiangyang, and there was a noble concubine in the previous generation, but for some reason these years, it completely disappeared in the Jianghu.

Wen Qing looked at Jiang Lin for a while, and finally sighed softly.

Wen Qing talked about her life experience: "I have had a different fate since I was a child. The Taoist priest said that I was the lone star of the god of evil, and the only way to solve it was to cut off the mortal world and practice Taoism. My family sent me to practice on Zhongnan Mountain. It’s been more than twenty years since I left.”

"Some things happened in the middle. Later, my family was plotted against because of the secret treasure I guarded. I broke the precept and went down the mountain, but I came one step too late..."

Wen Qing looked at Jiang Lin indifferently, and said, "The first time you and I met was three years ago when the Wen clan was wiped out."

Jiang Lin was startled, and some bloody images flashed back in his mind.

The sharp blade slid across the right arm, and the feeling of flesh and blood bursting...

Jiang Lin said in horror, "Why do I..."

"I was seriously injured at the time, and you saved me." Wen Qing pressed his unconscious knees with his bluish-white hands, and said to Jiang Lin, "Without you, I might have lost more than a pair of legs. And you , and suffered serious injuries."

Jiang Lin was shocked, and asked like a cannonball: "How can such a big event of extermination not attract the attention of others? Besides you, is there any other survivors in the Wen family?"

"It's unlikely. Even if there is, it's probably a collateral branch of the clan. I don't know about it." Wen Qing answered Jiang Lin's question backwards, "As for drawing attention, the perpetrators dealt with the crime scene It was so clean that the government could not even find a single hair of the Wen family."

"The family guarding the secret treasure is always associated with metaphysics. The government can only treat it as a bizarre disappearance, and even find a mage to exorcise the evil..."

Jiang Lin frowned and said, "Then what is the secret treasure that you are guarding? If it's just the Moonlight Pearl, why would someone want to get it at the cost of destroying others' entire families?"

Wen Qing shook his head and said, "It's the 'Xuanwu Chariot'."

Jiang Lin felt that the name was so familiar, as if a memory was about to surge in his mind, he couldn't help pressing his forehead, but there were only vague fragments.

"During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong of the former dynasty gathered skilled craftsmen from all walks of life to create four powerful secret treasures. One of them was called the Xuanwu Chariot. It will be guarded by me, the Wen family of Xiangyang, from generation to generation..."

Jiang Lin felt that the setting of this chariot was quite similar to a contemporary tank without artillery.

He also wanted to ask what the other three treasures were, so Wen Qing continued: "However, my father told me before he died that the place where the chariot was hidden was engraved on the long-lost 'Dragon Shell', Lian Wen Shi himself didn't know its exact location, so those who came here for the treasure didn't succeed."

"And I also chose to hide my whereabouts, not teaching those people to have a half chance of getting it."

"The shell of the dragon...?"

Wen Qing put his hands on the brocade box, looked at Jiang Lin, and said, "I was very curious before, except for the moonlight pearl hidden in my family, all other pearls come from the shell of the dragon. The former magistrate's pearl , and where did he find it?"

"If what Wei Heng said is true, then Lu Ping found it on the way to escape!"

Wen Qing didn't know who the two names came out of his mouth, but he would not interrupt Jiang Lin who was already in deep thought.

There was a storm in Jiang Lin's mind.

Before, he only thought that the moonlight pearl was not much different from the night pearl, but he didn't expect that there was a powerful basalt chariot behind it?

If the lost chariot can be found again and used by Song Dynasty, maybe it can play a certain deterrent effect on Xia Liao who is eyeing the north?

Jiang Lin's eyes immediately fixed on the map of Song Kingdom hanging on the wall, and quickly arranged all the information he knew on it one by one.

Lu Ping, a native of Lanbin, Xiangzhou, was dispatched to Yongzhou a few years ago, escaped along the waterway halfway, and found the Moonlight Pearl...

The waterway, the water vein, Jiang Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He said loudly: "Senior brother, you said before, 'Long live the dragon, he will transform into a dragon', but he took shape in the water?"

"It's natural." Wen Qing said, "But what's the clue?"

Jiang Lin tried to recall, but couldn't remember some details clearly, so he just said: "I need to confirm it again. But I want to ask, if the Xuanwu chariot can be found, is the brother willing to hand it over to the court? "

Jiang Lin was a little worried about this.

After all, Wenqing is already a man who has left the world and is not disturbed by secular disputes. The secret treasure has been guarded by his family for generations, and the government is not very helpful in his family's extermination case...

If some people with distorted psychology are replaced, they must scold the government for incompetence and the world for being unfair.

Wen Qing saw what he was thinking, and said: "If you can find it, it will be used by the imperial court, which is also its fate."

Jiang Lin rolled his eyes and said, "There must be fate. I just like Senior Brother, a cultivator who doesn't care about every detail and understands righteousness!"

Wen Qing shook his head lightly and said, "I wouldn't blame the government for killing the family back then. After all, if you and I hadn't seen the murderer with our own eyes, I'm afraid it would be difficult to know that the man behind the scenes was the person from the Snow Hall..."

"Treading Snow Hall?!"

Hearing this name, Jiang Lin couldn't control his surprise completely.

But he immediately understood - no wonder the killer from the Snow Walking Hall once said to him "It's you again", they really met face to face!

Wen Qing saw that Jiang Lin's expression had changed, and frowned, "Did you meet them again?"

Jiang Lin nodded and said, "The two recent cases I have handled are related to a killer in Tuxuetang, he may have recognized me..."

"Probably not. You used to wear a mask when you walked all over the rivers and lakes, and you never showed your real name to others. The people in the Snow Walking Hall should not recognize you easily. Moreover, if they came to you because of what happened back then... ...You may have died hundreds of times earlier." Wen Qing's eyes fell on Jiang Lin's face, and he said slowly, "After all, you were the one who cut off that man's right arm."

These words made Jiang Lin feel chills on his back.

right arm? ... The killer who knew him only used his left hand?

To count according to the original owner's life, isn't he the one who died once?

But it is true that the martial arts on the original owner's body have been basically useless since Jiang Lin passed through. If the people in the snow hall really want his life and find that he is not dead, why don't they let him die a few more times?

But thinking of what the killer said to him... It's rare that Wen Qing is an insider, so Jiang Lin didn't hide it anymore, and said directly: "But a killer once said to me 'it's you again'... Senior brother, can you still tell me?" Do you remember the characteristics of the person we met back then?"

"The killer I met was about the same size as me, left-handed, wearing a leather mask or a silver mask. Bai Yutang also said that he had red marks or lines on his face..."

Jiang Lin still wanted to recall more details, but saw that Wen Qing's fingertips on the brocade box turned white due to force, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

He murmured: "It's him, it's Ye Fengqiu, he's back..."

Wen Qing raised his head abruptly, and said to Jiang Lin: "Immediately dismiss the case you are currently investigating, and don't have any chance to contact him again... Never let him discover your true identity..."

·

Wen Qing's expression was always indifferent, so his sharp reaction really aroused Jiang Lin's full sense of crisis.

Jiang Lin also knew that this matter was of great importance, but before he could find a suitable reason to retreat, Fu Yi sent him an order.

Jiang Lin read the order several times, and confirmed that the general idea was to temporarily serve as an assistant to the unified review before the promotion exam, so that he would not be able to participate in other affairs.

This not only means that Pei Shilang's case has been dismissed by a referee, Jiang Lin has no chance to participate in it, and looking at the duties of the assistant officer, Jiang Lin actually wants to act as a similar person in the review for the promotion exam. The role of a teaching assistant.

For a moment Jiang Lin didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Coincidentally, Sima Guang also participated in the review of the unified management with him.

Sima Guang did not need to take the exam.This was a part-time job he used as a transitional job before he went to Guozixue to become a doctor, so he was very happy to work with Jiang Lin.

But seeing Jiang Lin's sad face, Sima Guang thought he was worried about the progress of Pei Shilang's case, so he comforted him and said: "Brother Baishi, you have done enough, and the subsequent direction of the case is not yours." One person can fully grasp it."

"Since the Pei family can find a way to control the transfer of officials, it will naturally not be easily brought down by this case. If you continue to participate, you may not be able to protect yourself. If Brother Baishi really cares about its development, Junshi can help you find out the follow-up news , but don't worry about it."

"Thank you Junshi for your explanation, but actually I'm not worried about this case..." Jiang Lin smiled wryly.

He was obviously worried about the assistant official's errand!

...It seems that he can only survive these few days by acting as the leg pendant of the big boss Sima Guang.

But before Jiang Lin could blow Sima Guang's rainbow fart, Sima Guang praised him: "Okay, let's not mention that case. I have always heard that Brother Baishi is very familiar with the laws of the Song Dynasty, and we need to review before the exam. Dismantling the lectures, I am still waiting to hear more of your unique insights, brother Baishi."

Jiang Lin: "Ah, this..."

Who will save him?

He really doesn't understand the law!
