Xie Lin didn't expect that his father would take on such a big case, so he took him along with him and asked him to practice with him. After working with him all night, he squinted for a while while his father entered the palace in the morning.
After waking up, I took the time to go to the Protector's Mansion to visit Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu was sitting on the bed, looking at the information collected by others about the mansions of major families in Southern Chu.
Since he has decided to travel to Nanchu, he naturally wants to get to know Nanchu well in advance. Now that Su Rong is in the capital, and the results have not been released yet, he is not in a hurry to leave. He plans to take advantage of the time to recover from his injuries to visit Nanchu.
Check out all the major aristocratic families, especially the Nangong family, the Ye family, and the Nanchu family.
After being informed that Xie Lin was coming, Zhou Gu immediately asked people to remove all these things and hide them, and then he lay half-lying and waited for Xie Lin to enter the house.
Xie Lin had not been on good terms with Zhou Gu before and had never been to his Shuanglin Garden. Now when he walked in and saw the empty grape trellis, he smashed it, thinking that if he didn't eat it this year, he would eat it next year.
Last week I was looking at the grapes in the yard.
After entering the house, he saw Zhou Gu lying on the bed, his face pale and without blood, and his whole body looked very weak. He looked at him and sighed, "I heard that you almost died from the burn yesterday. How about it? You didn't burn your head."
Right? Can your brain still function now?"
Zhou Gu said rudely: "Designation is better than your head."
When Xie Lin heard this, he immediately knew that his head was probably not burned out. He sat down, looked at Zhou Gu and said, "Who would have thought that investigating a case and coming back from the Great Buddha Temple so early in the morning could be so dangerous?
I just let you catch up."
Seeing that Zhou Gu didn't speak, he asked again: "Who is he? Why is he so scary? I heard that he came for you? He didn't even kill the two monks, and a large number of dead soldiers surrounded only one door.
Want to kill you? Did you offend someone? Or did you do something that made people insist on killing you?"
"I only dealt with Jiang Sheng when I was in Jiangning County and offended the eldest prince." Seeing that he really cared about him, Zhou Gu didn't mind talking to him a few more words. "As for others, I don't know. If you kill me,
Letting the Duke Protector grieve may have consequences, and it may shake the government's agenda."
Xie Lin's heart froze and he sat up straight, "If you don't tell me, I haven't thought of this yet. Yes, if something happens to you, how can the old Duke and the eldest princess Sheng'an endure it? If the two of them fall.
Now, the backbone of the Protector's Mansion is gone, and only your eldest brother is left. I'm not saying that your eldest brother is more than capable, but his skills, courage, etc. are not as good as yours. If something happens to you, the entire Protector's Mansion will collapse.
Have you lost half of the sky?"
He was extremely happy and said: "I heard it was all thanks to Su Rong."
He looked at Zhou Gu and said, "This Su Rong is really powerful."
Not only was he able to predict events like a god, he ordered people to chase Zhou Gu to rescue him, and he was also able to cut through hundreds of miles of thorns at night. He came to the Duke Protector's Mansion and gave him a prescription to reduce fever in an emergency. Even the doctor from Tai Hospital
The head of the hospital, Dr. Xu, and the doctors at Beijing Chinese Medicine Hall were unable to cure the fever, but she did it. How could she be so capable?
He really didn't notice it before, he really didn't show his true face.
Zhou Gu nodded.
Xie Lin looked at Zhou Gu, hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Su Rong went to the Great Buddha Temple with Ye Guixue to worship Buddha, and happened to meet you and He Zheng while investigating the case. She and Ye Guixue...
…”
Zhou Gu remained silent.
Xie Lin understood and scratched his head, "Ye Guixue is the second young master of Nan Chu Ye Xiangfu, and Su Rong is the princess of Nan Chu. They..."
Zhou Gu stopped him and asked, "Why did you come to see me today?"
Xie Lin stopped talking immediately and said, "I came to see you."
"Now that you've seen it, you can leave." Zhou Gu asked.
Xie Lin: "..."
He had just sat there for a while when Zhou Gu chased him away. Did he just say something he didn't want to hear? He immediately said: "In addition to coming to see you, I also wanted to understand the case with you. You know, my father was raped by Your Majesty."
He arrested a strong man to investigate the case and took me with him."
He pointed to the dark circles under his eyes and said, "I didn't sleep last night."
Seeing that he was talking about the investigation in an interesting way, Zhou Gu stopped chasing him and started talking to him about the case.
The two talked about the case for a while, and when they mentioned the two monks, Guang Zhen bit his tongue and committed suicide. He was not saved, but before he died, it was confirmed that he had killed Ding Man, and there was something wrong with Wang Su.
Xie Lindao: "Can you follow me to the secret cell in your home, and we can interrogate Na Wangsu together?"
"Go by yourself! I need to recover from my injuries." Zhou Gu waved his hand, "I'll have someone take you there."
Xie Lin saw that his face was pale and obviously unsuitable for hard work. He nodded and stood up, "Okay, I will go and examine it myself."
Zhou Gu called someone and asked him to take Xie Lin there.
Xie Lin took two steps and asked, "Where is Midnight beside you?"
"Lying in bed to recuperate, his injuries are relatively serious." Zhou Gu said.
Xie Lin nodded, muttered, "No wonder I have to see him.", turned around and left.
After Xie Lin left, Zhou Gu took out what he had just read halfway and continued reading.
Xie Lin was taken to the secret prison of the Duke Protector's Mansion, where he saw Wangsu tied to a pillar. The great monk had tender skin and tender flesh. He had obviously not suffered any crime, but now that he had suffered, he was very depressed.
Seeing someone coming, Wangsu raised his head and saw that it was Xie Lin. He recognized it and said, "Amitabha, thank you, young prince."
Xie Lin nodded, "Master Wangsu."
He is the heir to the Ruian Palace. Although he has a bit of a playboy temperament, it is not much. He was trained by the Ruian Prince since he was a child. Naturally, he is not an empty snack in his belly. He has his own set of skills.
He stood in front of Wangsu, stared at him for a while, and suddenly asked: "Master Wangsu, Master Guangzhen died because of you, don't you feel any guilt at all?"
I was stunned for a moment.
Before he could speak, Xie Lin said again: "Let me guess, who can be so capable that he can bribe the chief disciple of the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple? Even the prince, mother and concubine, I'm afraid he can't do it.
Because you are a smart person and know that interfering with the prince to seize power is not a good thing. If you don't do it well, it will lead to a bad ending. And what Buddhism seeks is a good ending. The only reason is that the sister you have been looking for,
I asked you to do this, and your sister, unlike what you said, is currently in the Nanping Marquis Mansion, so she must be in the capital."
Wangsu's expression did not change and he said again, "Amitabha."
He said helplessly: "Xie Xiaowang, just based on guesswork, he concluded that it was the poor monk who harmed the people. No matter what the poor monk said, the prince did not believe it, the old protector did not believe it, and Xie Xiaowang didn't seem to believe it either. The poor monk still has
What can you say?"
Xie Lin shook his head, "No, Master Wangsu, you still have something to say."
He came close to Wangsu, leaned against his ear, and whispered to him: "You know, my mother-in-law has a heart to worship Buddha, loves to worship Buddha most, and goes to the Great Buddha Temple once a year.
Every time, he drags me to accompany him. I don’t like to sit on the futon and worship Buddha with her, so I always sneak out and run around the temple. Most of the time, I like to run to the back mountain.
.Wangyue Peak, the highest point of Houshan Mountain, offers a panoramic view of the entire Great Buddha Temple. Sitting there, I could see when my mother-in-law discovered that I was missing and sent someone to look for me, so that I could rush back to my room to pretend to be safe.
Comfortable."
He recalled: "About three years ago, I saw Master Wangsu and a woman hugging each other and crying for a long time on Wangyue Peak. The woman was dressed in palace clothes..."
Wangsu's blood flowed backwards, and his whole body became stiff for a moment.
Xie Lin didn't seem to see his expression and continued: "The distance is too far, I can't hear what is said, and I can't see the specific appearance of the woman. I can only vaguely see what the woman in palace clothes is wearing.
I was very curious, so when I returned to the Great Buddha Temple, I secretly observed by myself. Hey, guess what? I found that person very quickly. Because that person was sitting with my mother and concubine, and the red hair on his head was
The hairpin and the ring around the waist are all very special, made by the imperial court."
Wangsu's face turned pale and he was speechless for a moment.
Xie Lin took a step back and looked at Wangsu, "I have no other advantages. I just know that curiosity kills the cat. Even if I am the young prince of Ruian Palace, I must not touch things that I cannot touch.
, otherwise I wouldn’t know how I died, not to mention that with my three-legged cat skills, I couldn’t protect myself at all. So, I didn’t tell anyone about this, not even my mother and concubine.”
He looked at Wangsu and said, "Master Wangsu, now your Majesty has handed over your case to my father, and I am also being dragged by my father and your Majesty to investigate this case. Naturally, I want to
After all, I have to let His Majesty see my abilities as a meritorious person, so that he can use me more after I pass the scientific examination and enter the court, right?"
He twirled his fingers and said, "So, are you going to explain it yourself, or should I follow the person in the palace to check you out? If you really ask me to check you out, no matter whether that person is related or not, he will be involved. Maybe then you can
