Lin Shiyin was woken up by the smoke.

When she woke up, the fire was just about to reach her legs. Although she didn't understand why it caught fire even after a good night's sleep, she subconsciously wanted to hide under her survival instinct, but found that she couldn't move at all.

Just as she was about to swear, a robe was thrown over and directly covered the flames around her legs.

The next moment, she was picked up.

The fire centered on her bed and burned all the way to the door of the room.Under the thick smoke, before she could tell what the person hugging her looked like, she was frightened by his jumping to the roof and said "Ah!".

I don't know if it was her illusion, but at this moment, the hand around her waist seemed to tighten.

Until she was hugged by this man and left the burning courtyard, she couldn't really recover from the smoke she choked on. While coughing non-stop, she couldn't comfort herself, and she couldn't be more aggrieved.

"This... hero?" She was about to collapse, "You... cough cough... can you help me... cough!"

The person holding her understood immediately, but still put her down slowly first, and then helped her shoulders to untie her acupuncture points.

At this moment, everyone in Li Yuan was alarmed, and Lin Shiyin could even hear the screams not far away, probably because the maids were worried about her.

And she was so uncomfortable from the choking that she couldn't stop her physical tears. If it wasn't for someone supporting her, she might not even be able to stand firmly.

"Someone is going to kill you." A voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

Lin Shiyin raised her head subconsciously.

This time, she finally saw clearly the appearance of the savior in front of her.

He straightened his back, like a green pine, with a sharp outline, cold eyes, and a chill all over his body.

Even more so than the cold wind of this autumn night, it makes people shiver and shiver.

But maybe it was because he had just saved her, Lin Shiyin wasn't frightened at all, instead she was a little curious about his identity.

"Your Excellency...?" She asked tentatively.

"I'll investigate the case." His voice was as cold as his expression.

"Investigate the case?" She was a little confused, "Your Excellency is from the government?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was shivered by the freezing night wind. It was only then that she realized that she was still wearing a middle coat. It's not rude to be rude, and it can't block the wind at all!

"Cousin girl! Why are you here?!" Just as she was getting goosebumps all over from the wind, another exclamation suddenly came from behind her.

Lin Shiyin recognized that it was the voice of a maid in her own yard, and immediately turned around and explained: "It was this young hero who saved me."

The little servant girl timidly looked at the person opposite her, seeing that the other person didn't respond, she felt relieved, walked over and said anxiously: "Uncle Xiang thought you were still in Yingxia Hall!"

Uncle Xiang is the name people in the house call the housekeeper.

Lin Shiyin thought for a while and said, "Come here and help me, let's go and have a look."

She didn't want to, but she was frightened just now, and her legs are still weak.

The little servant girl hurriedly came forward to support her, and seeing her dressed like this, she gave her a coat to wear: "If you don't mind Cousin, let's just settle for a while."

How dare Lin Shiyin dislike her, she was about to freeze to death, and it was too late to be grateful!

To her surprise, the person who saved her also followed the two of them to the burning Yingxia Hall.

Thinking of what he said earlier that he was here to investigate the case, and the sudden fire, Lin Shiyin couldn't help frowning.

It was only a few steps to Yingxia Hall, so when they arrived, the fire in the yard had not been completely extinguished.

But just happened to bump into the housekeeper who rushed out of the fire in a mess, panting and yelling at the servant who was putting out the fire: "The cousin girl is not inside, let's put out the fire first."

Lin Shiyin was a little moved when she heard the angry voice, and hurried over to pat the old man on the shoulder, covering her mouth and explaining: "Uncle Xiang, I'm fine, don't worry."

The butler turned back in surprise and joy: "Cousin girl?! How did you get out?"

"It was this young hero who saved me." Lin Shiyin huddled in the coat given to her by the maid and trembled violently, while speaking, she raised her finger and pointed at the person who was following them.

The housekeeper was only looking at her before, and didn't notice that there were people following them. Hearing what she said, he looked over in doubt, looked intently, and immediately asked in surprise, "You...why are you here?"

Lin Shiyin: "???" Wait, so you guys know each other?

Seeing her surprised face, the steward hurriedly explained: "This is the new disciple of Zhuge Shenhou in the Shenhou Mansion. The old slave happened to meet once when I followed the young master to the Shenhou Mansion."

Lin Shiyin: "..."

Who will tell her why there are four famous arresters on the set of Xiao Li Feidao!

Obviously not written by the same author? !

Probably because her expression was too indescribable, the butler was a little worried and asked what happened to Biao girl.

Lin Shiyin twitched the corners of her mouth: "No, nothing."

While they were talking, the servants had almost extinguished the fire in Yingxia Hall. Looking at the burnt courtyard in front of her, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but rejoice that she was lucky.

At the same time, Leng Xue, who hadn't answered the housekeeper's question, finally said, "I'll investigate the case."

"Investigate the case?" The butler was a little surprised, "But a case related to the Li family?"

Leng Xue didn't speak, but nodded.

This attitude made Lin Shiyin and the butler a little bit concerned, and it happened that the fire was also out, so there was no need for the group of people to stand in the courtyard door all the time and watch. They could just let her make the decision and invite Leng Xue to the flower hall to sit down first.

As for herself, of course she had to change her clothes first.

"But this Yingxia hall has been burnt to such an extent... I'm afraid there are not many clothes left in Cousin girl's room?" Seeing that she was about to go in, the servant girl was a little puzzled.

"That's right." Lin Shiyin patted her head, but continued to go in after a short pause, "Then you go to another yard and find two for me. I'll go in and get something first."

Speaking of it, I really have to thank Li Xunhuan for worrying about how to keep it properly when he gave her the land deed and house deed, and mentioned to her the mechanism under her bed.

Otherwise, after this fire, that box of things will probably be wiped out and nothing will be left.

The servant who was still sweeping the tail saw her running in and hurried forward to stop her: "The smoke inside has not cleared yet, wait a minute, Miss Cousin?"

Lin Shiyin looked around for a moment, and felt that the problem should not be serious, but when she thought about the contents of the box, she still couldn't let go of her mind: "It's okay, I'll just take something out."

Tonight, the fire started strangely, and she was also acupunctured at that time, obviously it was aimed at her.

Although the specific reason is not yet clear, after recovering, she probably guessed who did it, so she wanted to go in and get the deed of the land.

The people below couldn't stop her, they could only watch her groping on the bed that was burned beyond recognition.

"There it is!" She finally touched the opening of the mechanism, turned it hard, and opened the bed board.

After a creak, the hollowed-out place under the bed slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Although it wasn't burned inside, it was still full of thick smoke from the fire, and when it opened suddenly, she choked heavily.

But after the smoke dissipated, she saw the box she put in, lying there in good condition, without any damage, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The maid who went to find her clothes also came back at this time. She originally wanted to wash her up after she finished changing, but she directly waved her hand and refused.

Rather than freshen up, she thinks it's more important to go and find out what Leng Xue is here to investigate first.

In fact, Leng Xue was a little confused by the fire.

He did come to Li Yuan to investigate the case, which was a case of official corruption.

"Corruption case?" Both Lin Shiyin and Uncle Xiang were quite surprised. What does this have to do with Li Yuan?

"Check here for the stolen money." He is not used to explaining too much to others, but now he has to explain to a young girl and an old man.

Although he couldn't speak more concisely, Lin Shiyin quickly connected the two things from his words.

"...No wonder you want to kill me." She suddenly realized, "It turns out that I can't even spit out the money for repayment."

When she said this, Uncle Xiang came to his senses: "What Miss Cousin means—"

Lin Shiyin sneered: "I didn't say it earlier because I was afraid that you would worry about me. When I woke up, I was still being tapped on my acupuncture points and couldn't move. If someone didn't happen to arrive, I'm afraid I would have been burned to death in Yingxia Hall."

Uncle Xiang was shocked: "They... this!"

"I said how could I have such a big appetite. It turned out that it was used to bribe corrupt officials." She said that she was lucky enough tonight, and she couldn't help but turn cold-blooded again, "Tonight's matter, thanks to you, as for corruption case, if there is anything I can do to help, please feel free to speak up as a cold arrester.”

Looking at her clear and sincere eyes, Leng Xue moved his eyes unnaturally, and then nodded slightly.

This case is neither big nor small, but after all, the amount of money involved is appalling, and it was leaked out in the name of Xiao Li Tanhua, involving both the green forest and the officialdom, and the Shenhou Mansion dare not let it go In his heart, he was sent to investigate.

Originally, he just wanted to investigate a little bit tonight, but he didn't want to bump into the killer who was hired to silence him.

At that time, the situation was critical, and the killer probably knew that he would not leave him alone, so he quickly escaped while he was hugging Lin Shiyin after the fire broke out.

Leng Xue didn't try to chase them in order to save people, but now that he knew the twists and turns, he immediately asked them for the exact locations of the seven shops.

Lin Shiyue had to borrow the hands of Shenhou Mansion to clean up the house, of course it couldn't be more cooperative.

At dawn, she and Uncle Xiang sent Leng Xue away.

"It's still early, Cousin may as well go to rest for a while, after all, she was frightened last night." Uncle Xiang advised her.

"You too." She was indeed a little sleepy, but after yawning, she realized that the place where she slept had been burned, and she was a little worried.

Uncle Xiang has served three generations of the masters of the Li family. If she is counted, it should be the fourth generation. The ability to observe words and expressions is not weak. Seeing her frowning, he immediately suggested: "Biao girl should rest in the main courtyard."

Lin Shiyin originally wanted to be polite, but on second thought, Li Xunhuan gave her the house, why should she be polite!

So she accepted the proposal without much hesitation and went to the main courtyard.

However, she didn't directly occupy Li Xun Huan's previous room, but picked another wing room and asked someone to tidy it up.

It was also until this time that she saw her own appearance in the big bronze mirror in the wing room of the main courtyard.

It's fine that the hair looks like a mess, and there is a lot of gray on the face, which is disfigured, especially the nose, which is almost completely black!

"Oh my god..." No wonder the servant girl said she wanted to wash her up!

Lin Shiyin covered her face in pain, so is she talking about the corruption case with cold blood with this appearance?

She herself thought it was funny, but Leng-Blood didn't laugh.

... Really, what a nice guy.

In the end, of course, she washed her face well before going to sleep.

In addition to the time she spent writing the new bookkeeping method tutorial, Lin Shiyin really didn't sleep much all night, so she fell asleep almost immediately after washing her face.

She slept very deeply this time, and had a dream of being trapped in the fire and couldn't get out. She knew clearly consciously that it was not true, but she couldn't wake up no matter what, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.

What made her even more mad was that after finally getting rid of this dream and opening her eyes, she sneezed several times uncontrollably.

My throat was so sore that it was almost smoking, and I didn't even need to think about it.

The servant girl who had been guarding outside heard her getting out of bed, and hurriedly opened the door to come in: "Cousin girl is awake?"

Lin Shiyin rubbed the lump in her throat, she just nodded and didn't speak.

"By the way, Cousin, Uncle Xiang has sent someone to clean up the Yingxia Hall in the morning, and a lot of unburned things have been collected in the side room. Go and have a look, and send the ones you need here.”

Lin Shiyin listened absent-mindedly, and didn't take it seriously, but she still responded: "Yes, I'll go and see later."

It was only after she opened her mouth that she realized how hoarse her voice had become, and hurriedly took a sip of the warm tea on the table.

The servant girl was also taken aback by her voice: "Did Biao miss catch a cold?"

Isn't it just a cold?

Last night, she only wore her middle coat outside and was exposed to the wind for a long time, and she didn't rest for nearly a night, and she only lay down to sleep again at dawn, no matter how good her body is, she can't stand it.

The more Lin Shiyin thought about it, the more frustrated she became. After changing her clothes and drinking a bowl of ginger soup that the maid helped her to the kitchen, she went to Yingxia Hall to see the results of their cleaning in the morning.

Last night's fire was extinguished in time, so the things in the side rooms on both sides were indeed preserved fairly well, and they were all neatly stacked in front of the hall at this moment.

Lin Shiyin recognized the boxes that she brought when she came to Beijing and the large makeup box used to store unused jewelry, walked over and glanced briefly, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "It's mine, so move them all over there." .”

The people below should be bowing, and their movements are also very fast, and within a stick of incense, they have already moved all those things to the main courtyard.

Although it is in the same mansion, this move is basically equivalent to moving.

Lin Shiyin is a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder who can't bear clutter, and the wing room in the main courtyard is indeed too deserted at the moment. After sitting for a while, she started to tidy up the brought things by herself.

Most of the spring and summer clothes in the box were put away, one was thinner than the other, no matter how good-looking it was, it was not something she could wear now, so she didn't feel any wavering in her heart.

However, there were still a lot of usable hairpins in the makeup box for unused jewelry. She picked them out for a while, and when she was about to close them, she felt as if she had touched a sandwich.

This interlayer made her a little concerned. After recalling Zhen Lin Shiyin's memory about this makeup box, she tried to press the side again, and it was able to be opened.

To her surprise, there was not only a set of pure gold masks that looked a bit old, but also a book hidden inside.

The cover of the book is blank, and it looks very new, probably because it hasn't been turned over much.

She picked it up with a frown and opened it, only to see four large characters written on the title page - Lianhua Baojian.

Lin Shiyin: "..." What the hell? ? ?

How could such an important thing be collected in this place? !

What's even more incredible is that in the memory of the original Lin Shiyin, she couldn't find any content about Lianhua Baojian at all!
