The county horse is a medicine jar

Green smoke rose from the censer, and the study room was filled with thick sandalwood. Li Luo stood in front of the desk with a blank face. In front of her eyes was the fourth prince who was sizing her up unscrupulously. Behind her was the black man in black and carrying a sword. clothes man.

After looking at it for a while, the fourth prince suddenly stood up. He looked down at Li Luo, raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, and asked with a smile, "It seems that Miss Li Luo doesn't want to reminisce about the old days?"

Li Luo tilted his head slightly, glanced at the man in black with his head hanging behind him out of the corner of his eye, and then said calmly, "I am here today because I was entrusted by someone, not to meet an old friend."

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and glanced at the man in black meaningfully, then walked around the desk and stood in front of Li Luo, rubbed his fingertips on the golden thread on the sleeve, and asked casually, "Shen Er What have you brought?"

Li Luo didn't answer, but just took out the wooden box of letterhead that Lin Sishen handed to her from her sleeve, and handed it to the fourth prince, looking straight into the eyes of the fourth prince with neither humbleness nor condescension, and his posture was even more respectful and polite.

The fourth prince glanced down, and the smile hanging on the corner of his lips became cold in an instant. He did not reach out to take it, but raised his chin, and spit out four A word "presented to the king."

Li Luowen was not moved by it, his cold and stern eyes did not have the slightest emotion, as if confronting him, he stood motionless in front of the fourth prince.

The smile on the fourth prince's face was completely suppressed, he stared at Li Luo with a gloomy face, as time passed bit by bit, the room fell into a dead silence, as if the air was frozen.

After such a long while, the man in black behind Li Luo stepped forward to break the deadlock. He stepped forward without saying anything, took the wooden box of letter paper in Li Luo's hand without saying a word, then knelt down on one knee, and raised his hands respectfully. In front of the fourth prince.

Li Luo glanced down at the man in black who helped him out, his expression didn't change at all, and he quickly looked away.

But the fourth prince did not make things difficult for Li Luo, he finally reached out and took the wooden box letter presented by the man in black, looked at Li Luo with a half-smile, and sighed helplessly, "Sure enough, it is from Shen'er's hand." People and temperament are exactly the same as hers."

After the words fell, he lowered his head and opened the wooden box. After seeing the soldier talisman in the wooden box, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then he took out the soldier talisman in his hand, turned back to the desk, and opened it. letter.

There were only a few words in the letter, the fourth prince closed the letter and played with the military talisman a few times, then put it in the wooden box, took out the porcelain bottle from under the desk, and pushed it to Li Luo's desk together with the wooden box.

"Go back and tell Shen'er that since she didn't disappoint me, I naturally don't want her to suffer."

"Farewell."

Li Luo didn't know the meaning of the fourth prince's words, but she kept her mouth shut. She took back the wooden box and porcelain bottle, glanced at the man in black who was still kneeling in front of her, said two words coldly, turned around and was about to leave.

The fourth prince stopped her unhurriedly, "Miss Li Luo, wait a moment."

Li Luo paused, and before he could turn around, he heard the fourth prince's interest and asked indifferently, "I'm a little curious. I don't know whether Miss Li Luo is slightly better than the skill, or the one under this king." The former shadow gatekeepers were even better?"

Under the order of the fourth prince, the man in black stood up, he turned to look at Li Luo, with another complicated look in his eyes, he quietly asked, "I wonder if your martial arts have improved after the Shadow Gate last time?"

The voice drifted into his ears, before Li Luo could speak, he heard a murmur from the person behind him.

"Little sister."

As night falls, the Bamboo Garden Study Room.

Xi Qian and Mo Zhu had already left, and only Lin Sishen and Shen Qingwan were left in the room.

It has been several hours since she drank the medicine, Lin Sishen has been fidgeting and waiting for the effect of the medicine to take effect, she really does not want to be so embarrassing and embarrassing in front of Shen Qingwan, but her stomach has not moved for a long time.

Lin Sishen sat at the table anxiously, occasionally stood up and paced back and forth, and occasionally turned his head to look at Shen Qingwan who was sitting behind the desk leisurely flipping through the books.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, Lin Sishen couldn't help but said, "Jun Shi, what kind of medicine did you make me drink? Why hasn't it worked yet?"

Shen Qingwan's face was lazy and bright under the candlelight. She slowly turned a page of the book, paused with her fingertips, and opened her mouth before raising her eyes. There is a volume of old case files, do you know about this?"

Lin Sishenwen was startled at first, and then thought for a moment, "But 20 years ago, the magistrate of Tingzhou conspired against the state and was copied and killed by all the dossiers?"

Shen Qingwan closed the scroll, raised her eyes slowly and asked again, "It seems that you know about this, but do you know who stole the scroll?"

Lin Sishen glanced at Shen Qingwan with a complicated expression, "At that time, I was seriously injured and took the Severe Love Grass. Although I knew that the file library of the Ministry of Punishment was stolen, I didn't know who did it. Why did the county official suddenly ask such a question?"

Shen Qingwan glanced at Lin Sishen with a half-smile, "After the file was stolen a year ago, I sent someone to Tingzhou to investigate this old case in detail, and found out the identity of the person who stole the file."

Lin Sishen did have an impression of this incident, but she was in a state of distress at that time, and nothing strange happened after the case file was stolen, so she did not send someone to investigate. ?”

Shen Qingwan stood up and put the scroll on the table casually, "If something out of common sense happens, there must be some restless person planning in the dark. The reason why I sent someone to investigate is because I smelled the unusual odor."

Lin Sishen looked serious, she knew that Shen Qingwan would not bring up this old case for no reason, and immediately asked, "What did the county officer find out?"

Shen Qingwan walked slowly towards Lin Sishen, "The person who stole the file was the illegitimate son of Tingzhou Shen Zhizhou who was raised in another courtyard. He was also the only Shen family member who survived the case. Zhang Heng."

"Zhang Heng, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

Lin Sishen frowned and thought hard, a moment later she took a deep breath, and a matter that Li Luo had mentioned to her five years ago suddenly appeared in her mind.

"I want to go back to the Shadow Gate."

"Is it the doorman who asked you to go back?"

"The ghost hand defected, and the master sent me to clean up the house with a few senior brothers."

"Ghost hand? Is that the senior brother who took good care of you when you entered the Shadow Gate?"

"He is no longer a member of the Shadow Sect, he should be called Zhang Heng."

After thinking about this, Lin Sishen immediately sensed that something was wrong, and she looked at Shen Qingwan with flickering eyes, "Back then, in the case of treason in Tingzhou Zhizhou, my father was ordered by His Majesty to ransack the house and execute the supervisor."

Zhang Heng is the ghost hand, the illegitimate son of the magistrate of Tingzhou, and he used to be a member of the shadow sect, and he knew Li Luo well. It was related, and it seemed that even Li Luo was involved.

Lin Sishen anxiously asked Shen Qingwan, "What does this matter have to do with Li Luo?"

Looking at Lin Sishen's restless and eager expression, Shen Qingwan frowned slightly, "A year ago, the case files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were stolen. I sent people to Tingzhou to investigate, and found out that Tingzhou's government office had also been stolen, and only Shen Zhizhou was lost." I used this to investigate further and found out that Shen Zhizhou's illegitimate son was Zhang Heng, who was once an assassin of the Shadow Gate. Besides, just a few days ago, I found out another thing."

Lin Sishen took a deep breath, and heard Shen Qingwan continue to say, "After Zhang Heng defected from the Shadow Gate, he changed his name and changed his surname and fled around for his life. It was not until half a year after the case files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were stolen that he joined the Four Emperors' sect and became a A guard next to Brother Four."

While listening intently, Lin Sishen suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, and she staggered back, but luckily Shen Qingwan reached out to support her in time.

Lin Sishen endured the pain, grabbed Shen Qingwan's hand, raised his eyes pale and asked, "The county official just said that Zhang Heng is the only Shen family member who survived, so is there another member of the Shen family who survived?" who is it?"

Shen Qingwan helped Lin Sishen to sit down, raised her sleeves and gently wiped the cold sweat from Lin Sishen's forehead, and said softly, "The posthumous woman of the Shen family's concubine, two months before this case happened, the concubine fled back to visit her. The mother who was seriously ill, unfortunately met bandits in the wilderness, she was raped and died tragically, but she still gave birth to a daughter, but the whereabouts of the baby girl she gave birth to is unknown and there is no way to find out."

Lin Sishen's stomach pain was unbearable, and his mind was in a mess, "That is to say, even the county sergeant didn't find out the whereabouts of the baby girl?"

Shen Qingwan nodded slowly, she bent down and clasped Lin Sishen's wrist, and said softly, "That's right, I haven't found out whether the posthumous daughter of the Shen family is alive or dead."

Lin Sishen's eyes were blurred for a moment, but her thoughts were still running fast, "Li Luo lived on the streets since she was a child, and it was her master who carried her back to the Shadow Gate. Even the disciples of the Shadow Gate didn't know about it." Who are her biological parents?"

"Shen'er, do you know that when Zhang Heng defected to the Shadow Gate five years ago, Li Luo was ordered to clean up the sect."

Shen Qingwan raised her hand to touch Lin Sishen's forehead, then took out a porcelain bottle from her body, poured a pill into Lin Sishen's mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and the moment he swallowed his throat, the severe pain in his stomach quickly eased a lot, Lin Sishen gritted his teeth and nodded, "Li Luo once mentioned this to me."

Shen Qingwan held Lin Sishen's face carefully, and asked softly with some helplessness and distress, "Then you know, Li Luo had a chance to kill Zhang Heng back then, but she didn't kill Zhang Heng in the end, but let Zhang Heng go." Heng."

Lin Sishen's expression froze, her lips trembled slightly, and she shook her head in confusion.

Li Luo never mentioned this matter to her.

Li Luo has always been cold-hearted and decisive, except for the occasional surprise when facing Lin Sishen, he will not show mercy to others.

But why did she just let Zhang Heng go?
