Chapter 211 Looking for evidence

The next day, Shang Shixu, Shen Yifeng and his party went down to the snow-capped mountains. After half a day's journey, they arrived at the northern border town. Cui Jue, the deputy general of the northern garrison, had been waiting at the gate of the city early. When he saw Shen Yifeng and the others coming, he immediately dismounted. He greeted: "Marquis Wuling, we meet again."

"General Cui, there is no need to be polite." Shen Yifeng also got off his horse and helped Cui Jue up.

Shen Yifeng and Cui Jue once met in Nanling, and they had a head-on confrontation. At that time, Shen Yifeng used the imperial order as a basis to persuade the Lu family army to return, and then borrowed troops to stop Lu Feicheng.

Cui Jue was Lu Feicheng's deputy general.

Shang Shixu and his party entered the city, and then asked Cui Jue about the situation in the northern border. Only then did they learn that the Beiyan army had repeatedly invaded, causing the Lu family's army to retreat steadily. The Lu family army was leaderless and had no power to resist.

Lin Jingmo was a concubine, so she was assigned to a government office in the border city. Returning to the northern border, Lin Jingmo felt as if she had been in another world. The last time she came to the northern border, she was accompanied by Duanyin. At that time, Lin Yuanzhi and Lin Kong Qing is still alive, and Mother Li is still waiting in the house. But now things have changed.

Lin Jingmo lamented that things in the world are unpredictable, and it may be difficult to live a safe life...

She packed up her things and came outside the hospital. The last time she came, Lu Anmin was still alive and Lu Feicheng was still there, but now the Lu Family Army has ceased to exist in name only, and it is even more difficult to parry the Beiyan Army.

Lin Jingmo was walking on the veranda, feeling mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't calm down for a long time. When he was lost in thought, he suddenly bumped into a reckless little girl. Seeing that the girl bumped into Lin Jingmo, she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Lin Jingmo was startled by her. Seeing her reaction so fiercely, he quickly helped her up and said, "It's not a big deal, you don't have to worry about it."

The girl raised her head obediently, but lowered her head again the moment she saw Lin Jingmo.

Lin Jingmo hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about it. What's your name? Are you the maid from this government office?"

The little girl looked panicked, nodded and replied: "My name is Xin'er, and I am the girl in charge of cleaning here."

Hearing this, Lin Jingmo smiled and helped her up and asked, "Where did you come from just now? What are you afraid of in such a panic?"

Xin'er still didn't dare to raise her head, but said with a slightly trembling voice: "The villain...the villain is...is..."

"Huh?" Lin Jingmo looked at her doubtfully, then looked in the direction she came from. He didn't notice anything wrong and was about to ask again.

At this time, a slightly older mother, Mrs. Du, came forward and said to Lin Jingmo: "The little girl is timid and is afraid of bumping into the general's wife. Please don't mind her."

Lin Jingmo saw that it was a mother, so she saluted and asked, "Is mother a former servant of the Lu family?"

Mother Du smiled and replied: "Exactly, I have met Madam before. Madam seems to be an old acquaintance of our young master."

Lin Jingmo subconsciously thought that the young master she was talking about was Lu Feicheng, so she nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Lu and I grew up together, and my father was his calligraphy teacher."

Hearing this, Mama Du agreed and said, "When it comes to calligraphy, my young master really loves to write."

Lin Jingmo had an idea when he heard this, and suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Brother Lu is used to writing... Then where does he practice calligraphy on weekdays?"

Mother Du replied: "Of course it is the master's study."

Study...Yes, there may be some evidence in the study...

Lin Jingmo thought so and continued to ask Mama Du: "Can mom take me to Brother Lu's study?"

"This..." Mother Du looked confused and seemed to be hesitant.

Upon seeing this, Lin Jingmo hurriedly said: "Brother Lu and I grew up together, and we are brother and sister. Now that he has passed away, he has not left any thoughts for me, so I would like to have a few copies of his copybooks as a souvenir."

Mother Du heard this and replied: "In that case... please come with me, madam."

After saying that, Mama Du winked at Xin'er, and Xin'er hurried away.

Lin Jingmo followed Mama Du to the door of Lu Feicheng's study.

Lin Jingmo had mixed feelings outside the study door. Although Lu Feicheng had made mistakes, he had always been very kind to him.

What's more, he and I grew up together, so it would be impossible to say that his death had no impact on Lin Jingmo at all.

Now that she came to his study, looking at the familiar handwriting, Lin Jingmo was already a little sad. She originally wanted to find some evidence from the study, but when she entered the room, she thought about it. Lu Feicheng died unexpectedly. If there was any evidence, I'm afraid.

She had already been searched once, so how could it be her turn?

The two walked into the study. Mother Du said to Lin Jingmo: "Madam, this is the master's study." After that, he picked up Lu Feicheng's copybooks from the table and said: "On weekdays, the master likes these the most.

Character."

"Thank you, Mom." Lin Jingmo took the copybook and flipped through it casually.

Mother Du said: "Madam, if you look here, I will leave first."

Lin Jingmo nodded and continued to look through it. After looking at it for a while, he didn't find anything strange.

She remembered that Shang Shixu's study had many hidden compartments. Perhaps Lu Feicheng's study was the same?

Lin Jingmo carefully observed the furnishings in the study, and there was nothing wrong. After looking around, he didn't see anything unusual about the furniture or walls. He couldn't help but wonder, "Is there really nothing here?"

Lin Jingmo was sitting on a chair in the study room. He accidentally raised his head and looked at the roof, but saw something that seemed to be on the beam above.

At this time, Mrs. Du returned to the study. She pushed the door open and entered, startling Lin Jingmo.

Mother Du saw this and said hurriedly: "The villain's hands and feet were too light and scared the lady. He really deserves death."

Lin Jingmo hurriedly picked up a copybook on the table and said, "Mother Du is serious. I like this copybook best, so I took it."

Mother Du said: "It's getting late, so it's time to have dinner. However, several adults are still discussing matters. Madam, do you think we should wait until they come out to eat together, or should we eat first?"

Lin Jingmo looked at Mama Du in confusion: Why would an old man like Mama Du ask me about such a trivial matter?

Mother Du seemed to notice that Lin Jingmo was a little confused, so she hurriedly added: "The adults are new guests, and I am afraid that I did something wrong, so I came here to ask Madam."

Lin Jingmo thought for a while and said: "Since they are discussing something, wait over there before sending the food in. I have worked hard with the servants at home, so let's put the food for everyone first."

Mother Du leaned over and replied: "Yes, I will go and prepare now."

"Working mother."

After seeing off Mama Du, Lin Jingmo saw that the room was getting darker and darker. If he asked someone to go up to the rafters, he might be aroused. So he planned to wait until daytime tomorrow to come back to find out, so Lin Jingmo also followed Mama Du's footsteps and walked out.
