The county horse is a medicine jar

At the Hongmen Banquet, Sun Wenqian and others flattered and flattered Lin Sishen, but they were secretly testing Lin Sishen's tone inside and out, wanting to know that she came to Longyou under the imperial edict this time, just as the second prince said. , I still overestimated my capabilities and wanted to flow into the muddy water of Longyou.

Lin Sishen pretended to be deaf and dumb and got confused, but they didn't jump down no matter how they set up a trick. She neither explained that she had the second prince's secret instruction, nor showed that she wanted to investigate the case.

However, she did not refuse the meeting gift from Sun Wenqian and others.

When the banquet was about to end, the new imperial envoy seemed to be drunk, and dragged Sun Wenqian staggeringly to call him brothers and sisters, constantly yelling about his glory on the battlefield.

The others were overjoyed when they saw it, they only knew that Lin Sishen was also a foolish imperial envoy who wanted to make money, and thought he could successfully fool him this time.

Until Lin Sishen got into the official sedan chair drunk, a group of officials watched Lin Sishen being carried away in front of the gate of the Crane Tower, couldn't hide their smiles and said to Sun Wenqian: "It seems that this imperial envoy is also a good fool."

Sun Wenqian snorted solemnly, glanced at the person who spoke, and said, "Idiot, this person surnamed Lin looks like an idiot, but she is actually very cunning and sophisticated. None of us pried out anything useful from her today." Come."

The people behind him looked at each other, and a small official took a step forward: "Lord Protector, what do you mean, Master Lin is pretending to be confused in front of us."

Sun Wenqian was not ashamed of the group of useless people behind him talking too much, and ordered with his chin held high: "Send more people to guard the official post, and report back immediately if Lin Sishen and his subordinates make any movement. Also, let the people in the city keep their mouths in check. If anyone dares to speak nonsense in front of strangers, I will drag them down and cut out their tongues."

The subordinates took orders in unison, nodding and bowing behind Sun Wenqian like dogs.

Sun Wenqian was accustomed to everyone's obedience, he looked in the direction of the official station, and said with a sneer, "Even if she, Lin Sishen, really intends to wade into the muddy waters, this official still has some schemes to make it difficult for her to move forward."

When Lin Sishen was carried back by the official sedan chair, it was already the second watch, and there were few people on the street, most of them had closed their doors and planned to rest.

Back at the official post where she stayed, Lin Sishen regained her clarity from drunkenness instantly when she entered the room. She couldn't wait to take off the official clothes that were stained with the smell of alcohol and rouge, and put on casual clothes.

Mo Zhu had already been waiting for her in the house, and after serving her a pot of warm tea, he told Lin Sishen everything he saw and heard outside today.

Hearing that many blacksmiths in the city had disappeared, Lin Sishen immediately became alert. She vaguely felt that the disappearance of the blacksmiths must be related to a major secret.

Since I came to Longyou to investigate the case, I should simply investigate all the dirty things here. Longyou is the territory of the second prince. If I really find out some secrets, maybe I can use this to bring the second prince down. Come.

Lin Sishen immediately decided to go to Dingxi City at night to look up the cases that have been judged in Dingxi City in the past two years. As long as he turned to the case files of that blacksmith Liu, he might be able to find some clues.

Mo Zhu's qinggong was a little weaker, so Lin Sishen didn't intend to take her with him, not to mention she needed to let Mo Zhu stay in the house, pretending that she had already rested.

The other guards couldn't leave easily, otherwise they would startle the snake, so Lin Sishen had no choice but to go to the government office secretly by himself.

Around the third watch, Lin Sishen changed into night clothes, and left the official post silently in the dark. She had noticed the eyeliners outside the official post before, so she was extra careful this time.

Lin Sishen had already figured out the location of the government office when she swaggered around Dingxi City with Mo Zhu during the day, so she easily found the government office, sneaked in, and found Juan Kusi.

Avoiding the two sleepy guards at the door, Lin Sishen pried open the rear window with a dagger, turned over and entered Juankusi.On the rows of bookshelves, she found the files from two years ago, and kept searching for the files of the blacksmith Liu Hui.

Lin Sishen was still lucky. Among a lot of files, she quickly found a scroll with the word Liu Hui written on it. After opening it, she saw that there were only a few lines written on the file. Character.

Liu Hui, a person from Dingxi City, had solid evidence of murder and extortion. He confessed to the crime and was interrogated and executed on the same day. The case is over.

Who was the victim, what weapon was used for the murder, and where did the murder occur, all of which were not mentioned. With just a few lines of unclear words, a person was sentenced to death. It can be seen that the master Qingtian in Dingxi City is amazing. Perfunctory.

Thinking about the blacksmith's murder case, there must be something else hidden in it.

Lin Sishen quickly opened several other case files, and happened to see several files that were unclear like Liu Hui.Lin Sishen quickly wrote down the names of these people, put away all the files, and planned to leave.

Unexpectedly, she was just about to leave, when a burst of fire suddenly lit up outside the door, and then several hurried and heavy footsteps came towards her.

Logically speaking, no one should come here so late, could it be that someone discovered their whereabouts?

Lin Sishen didn't have time to think about it, and immediately left from the back window. After turning over and landing on the ground, she suddenly felt something strange. When she looked up, she unexpectedly saw a man in green shirt holding a fan, standing not far from her, with a half-smile stared at her.

Lin Sishen only took a quick look at the man, and found that this man was not simple. He was not surprised at all when he found Lin Sishen from the file department.

It seemed that he should have discovered Lin Sishen's intrusion a long time ago, but he didn't alarm others, but stayed here slowly, waiting for Lin Sishen to throw himself into the trap.

The man in the green shirt put away his folding fan, and said with a leisurely smile, "Little thief, you are so bold that you even dare to break into the government office."

Lin Sishen was not in the mood to tangle with him, turned around and fled in another direction, after a few strides, Lin Sishen turned his head to look, but saw the man not far or near behind him, he couldn't get away.

Seeing that he was approaching the courtyard wall of the government office, Lin Sishen's toes landed on the wall, and suddenly a large net fell over his head, and several officials outside the wall pulled ropes, trying to trap Lin Sishen.

Fortunately, Lin Sishen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and the dagger in her sleeve flew out in an instant. She held the dagger and slashed lightly on the net above her head, breaking a big hole and getting out, continuing to flee forward.

"Some skills."

Seeing this, the man in the blue shirt sighed with a smile, and followed closely after him. At the same time, the officials from outside the government office also came after him with their knives.

Lin Sishen quickly shuttled through the city, but the man behind him was still chasing him, getting closer and closer.Every time Lin Sishen ran a certain distance, the man in blue would shoot a hidden arrow at the place where Lin Sishen ran. Although the hidden arrow did not land on Lin Sishen's body, after it was nailed into the ground, a strange burst of arrows appeared from the body of the arrow. blue smoke.

Relying on the green smoke gradually rising from the city, the officials chasing him knew Lin Sishen's location.

If this goes on like this, sooner or later he will be stopped by the officials. Lin Sishen was quick to use his wits and ran to the only candlelit attic in the city, which was brightly lit with carved beams and painted buildings.

The only bustling place in Dingxi City at this time, where people hang out, is Fireworks and Willow Alley.

Lin Sishen rushed into the back house of the brothel, relying on the cover of the night and the high wall, she quickly took off the night clothes she was wearing, then randomly picked an unbolted door, opened it and barged in.

After hastily closing the door, Lin Sishen didn't have time to turn around when a vigilant and frightened question came from behind him: "Who are you?"

The light gauze in the room overflowed with a graceful and delicate fragrance, Lin Sishen turned around, and saw behind the lightly dancing veil, a thin and thin figure standing by the bed not far away, looking at him fixedly.

There was a sudden commotion in the lobby downstairs, and the faint voice of officials came.

Lin Sishen didn't have time to see the appearance of the woman in the room, she cupped her hands and softly comforted her, while quietly approaching the woman: "Please don't make a sound, miss, I just went to the wrong room, I'm leaving now."

Just as Lin Sishen approached quietly, and the woman was only separated by a layer of veil, the woman suddenly asked softly: "Are you being chased by an official?"

Hearing this, Lin Sishen had no choice but to move forward and lift the veil, turned around behind the woman, covered the woman's mouth and nose with his hand, and said apologetically, "Miss, I offended you."

Just as Lin Sishen was controlling the woman, there was a knock on the door. The voice seemed to be the man in the green shirt who had been chasing Lin Sishen. He stood outside the door and called softly: "Qin'er, are you here?" In the house?"

Did this woman know that person?

Lin Sishen slowly lowered her eyes to look at the woman in front of her. The woman was caught by Lin Sishen, neither flustered nor struggling. She only raised her hand lightly and patted the back of Lin Sishen's hand, as if signaling Lin Sishen to let go.

The man in the green shirt outside the door became suspicious when he saw that the woman hadn't spoken for a long time. He put his hand on the door and called out again before pushing the door: "Qin'er?"

Lin Sishen hesitated for a moment, then let go of his hand, the woman gasped lightly and calmed down, before the man in green shirt pushed the door, she asked coldly, "What's the matter?"

Seeing the woman's response, the man outside the door put down his hand, and said softly: "Today, the city is not peaceful. A little thief broke into Qingjiang Pavilion in a panic. I am worried about your safety, so I came to see you."

Lin Sishen frowned, and clasped her hands on the slender neck of the woman in front of her.

Fortunately, the woman did not disclose Lin Sishen's whereabouts, and replied calmly and coldly: "The little thief did not break into my house, you can look elsewhere."

The man outside the door hesitated for a while, but he really gave up: "In that case, I will come to see you later."

Lin Sishen breathed a sigh of relief when hearing the footsteps fade away, she took two steps back and lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Thank you, miss."

The woman turned around slowly, Lin Sishen raised his eyes and saw the woman's face clearly, he was slightly startled.

I saw that the girl in front of me was extremely beautiful, her eyebrows were dark and her eyes were weak, her complexion was pale and somewhat sickly, and she was so weak and charming that people felt pity.Although she is in a brothel, her brows look indifferent and far away, without the slightest trace of pinkness.

The woman looked Lin Sishen carefully, and suddenly asked, "Run Zhu led people to chase you, but because you offended Sun Wenqian?"
