The clatter of horse hooves resounded through the quiet streets in the north of the city. When the officers on curfew patrol saw that it was the people from the county lieutenant's mansion, they all moved aside to get out of the way, watching the mighty team pass by.
Many soldiers were secretly sighing: Tonight is really an unquiet night.
It had just passed the curfew hour, but already several waves of people were rushing towards the north of the city.
When Chu Nanzhi hurried to Qi Mansion, as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw people moving around, and the torches held high lit up almost the entire night sky.
The cold silver spear and long knife shone brightly in the firelight.
There was a moment of surprise in his heart.
Why is the Qi family so busy today?
The day of condolence has not yet come.
Glancing around in the crowd, she suddenly saw that familiar and cold silhouette.
Unexpectedly, the pretty boy came to join in the fun in the middle of the night.
Seeing that he was putting away the long sword in his hand, Chu Nanzhi was shocked and rushed forward to meet him. He looked at the middle-aged man in rich clothes in front of him, frowned and whispered: "Lin Dalang, what are you doing?
?”
"Nothing, come here for my husband."
Lin Jinxiao smiled lightly, looked directly at Lin Tingkai, and said calmly: "This is the Nandu King of Jingling City. I heard that the emperor's uncle came to the Qi family, so I came here to listen to his teachings."
"King Nandu?"
Chu Nanzhi's black eyes flickered and she glanced at him quietly.
Although this man's face seems to have lost its tenderness, the spirit of his whole person is still there, and it is difficult to conceal the aura of a jade tree facing the wind.
I heard that this person was one of the two concubine princes who stayed after the palace coup.
After bowing respectfully towards King Nandu, Chu Nanzhi called out politely: "I've seen the emperor uncle."
"Are you Princess Pingning?"
Lin Tingkai carefully looked at the man in front of him, who had already heard the cocoon in his ears. He looked petite and weak, and he really didn't look like a smart man.
"It's the slave family."
Chu Nanzhi replied calmly.
Lin Tingkai looked at Lin Jinxiao with a stiff smile: "My dear nephew, since you said that you came to the Qi family for a routine interrogation, and now that your wife is here, I would like to see what tricks you can come up with."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Xueyi led Qi Yuhuan, and Qi Yujie hurried over.
Just looking at the situation here, Jiang Xueyi's heart trembled. Now that he had finally stopped fighting, he couldn't let the two sides quarrel in front of Qi's house again.
Jiang Xueyi came up to the two of them respectfully and said repeatedly: "I wonder what the reason is for your two highnesses to come to the humble residence so late? It is better to invite us to the guest house for tea first. If you have anything to do, please sit down and talk about it. Don't hurt the harmony."
Lin Jinxiao just sneered at him, and then ordered the soldiers beside him: "Enter the house and search, don't miss any corner, be sure to find what I want."
"this"
Before Jiang Xueyi could stop him, he saw a dark group of sergeants rushing into the mansion.
Qi Yujie immediately became angry, but thinking of her brother-in-law's instructions, she did not dare to make too much of a mistake. She only dared to accuse him softly: "King Pingning, please don't go too far. Now that the suspect of Jia Ci's murder has been imprisoned, please bring someone to the house."
Why are you going to such a big fight? Could it be that you want to take the opportunity to avenge your private revenge?"
At this time, Lin Jinxiao had no intention of paying attention to this woman.
He calmly looked at Chu Nanzhi beside him and asked in a low voice: "How are you doing there?"
Chu Nanzhi knew that he was asking Zheng Haichuan if he had confessed anything.
When she mentioned this, she felt a little sad and shook her head angrily.
Lin Jinxiao frowned slightly.
I roughly guessed something.
I am afraid that the arrival of Lin Tingkai has made both Wu Enrong and Zheng Haichuan feel much more confident.
In this way, it will be even more difficult to find out anything from Wu Enrong and Zheng Haichuan.
Getting closer to her, Lin Jinxiao whispered again: "It doesn't matter, let's thoroughly investigate the Qi family's case and then go to the county captain's house."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi responded lightly, but saw the sound of cars and horses coming from behind again. He turned around and saw that Tang Ru was driving over with many people.
Next to him was a man in white clothes and brocade robes. He was extremely tall and tall. His black hair was tied up and he was wearing a small silver crown inlaid with jade. He was walking slowly towards him.
As he walked, his slender body stood straight, and his whole appearance looked rich and handsome, yet exuding an innate nobility.
Although Lin Jinxiao already had such a peerless appearance next to him, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but take a second look when he saw that out-of-the-world face.
While I was lost in thought, I heard people around me shout loudly: "King Beihama is here."
Beibin Wang Lintingyan?
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel shocked again.
Some rumors about Beibin Wang Lin Tingyan gradually came to mind.
It is said that this prince was the son of Emperor Chonghua and Shangguan Rou, the most favored concubine in the palace.
Shangguan Rou was a beauty who was brought to the court as tribute from the Northern Kingdom. She was extremely talented and beautiful. She won the trust of Emperor Chonghua as soon as she entered the palace. The prince she gave birth to was Lin Tingyan, who was even more extraordinary. She was once hailed as the most beautiful man in the Dahe Empire.
"Ahem, I once dreamed of entering Jinling City to see this big forest, but I never thought that all of them would be delivered to my doorstep today. It's really a feast for the eyes."
Chu Nanzhi secretly glanced at Lin Tingyan and Tang Ru who were strolling over, biting her fingers secretly, almost forgetting that she came to Qi's house to investigate the case.
Lin Jinxiao looked at the nymphomaniac look on her face, pinched her waist hard in annoyance, and said angrily to Li Ce: "Why don't you take your sister-in-law into the house to search her."
"yes."
Li Ce also looked at Lin Tingyan and Tang Ru who were coming over, bowed his hands to them, and took the lead in leading them into the house.
Chu Nanzhi bowed to the two of them, and was about to follow Li Ce when she was stopped by Lin Tingyan's soft and deep voice: "Is this Princess Pingning?"
Chu Nanzhi turned around and couldn't help but take a look at this handsome man. Even his voice was so rich, deep and magnetic, which really made people a little addicted.
Lin Tingyan looked at her with a smile and nodded with satisfaction: "I have heard about my niece-in-law's name for a long time. When I saw her today, she is indeed very graceful and worthy of being the number one female detective in my Dahe Empire."
Although he is nearly 40 years old, his unsculpted face shows no trace of time, and he still has a beauty that will last forever.
Not to mention that women can't stop themselves from taking one more look at her, but even men will feel a bit envious when they look at her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile, "Uncle, the emperor is overly complimentary," Lin Jinxiao scoffed with a stern face: "Why, the sixth uncle came here in the middle of the night just to pay homage to the nephew and princess?"
"Jinxiao is joking."
Lin Tingyan maintained a warm smile and said slowly: "Of course I am here to investigate the case for you. I heard that even the prefect Wu of the county was involved this time. It is not a trivial matter.
As your Majesty’s uncle, I, Jin Xiao, are highly regarded by the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, so I should come here to share your worries, as well as your Majesty’s and the Empress Dowager’s.”
"Yeah?"
Lin Jinxiao looked around at everyone with cold eyes: "In that case, please ask the two imperial uncles to stay here later."
After speaking, he shook the hilt of the sword in his hand, and no one dared to act rashly again.
