Chapter 389 The truth that gradually becomes clear
"There's something wrong with this, have you noticed?" Yuan Qingfang frowned.
"What's wrong? According to our previous speculation, wasn't it Old Man Lin who did this? Only he knows the identity of the little girl." Lin Chong waited to hear her say his opinion.
"That's true, but if he wanted to do it, he should have done it long ago. Why did he have to wait until now? There are so many people with so many eyes, doesn't it aggravate my suspicion? Besides, we just went to Xinyi Village yesterday.
Something happened in Zhaoyun Tower today, so I am a little too impatient." Yuan Qingfang leaned on the handrail of the stairs.
"Then this matter may have nothing to do with Old Man Lin. The person who did this only learned yesterday that there is another person in the world who may leak his secret. This secret is so important that he cannot bear it for a moment and must act immediately.
"
"Lin Hui..." The two of them thought of this name again coincidentally. Only he had just returned to Xinyi Village yesterday, and he was also the most likely person to get the words out of Master Lin.
The son he had raised since he was a child, even though he was not his biological child, was very affectionate. Villager Lin must have felt that he knew his son very well, so he felt relieved to tell him the actual situation.
"If it's him, he will definitely come again if he doesn't succeed once, and the interval shouldn't be too far." Yuan Qingfang sounded worried.
"It's okay, don't worry, as long as the people from the Heaven and Earth Sect are here, they won't do anything blatantly. Obviously they are afraid that the people from the Heaven and Earth Sect will discover their true identity, but I guess they will soon change to playing tricks.
That's it." Lin Chong didn't know whether he wanted to comfort Yuan Qingfang or make her more worried.
"Let's go up and have a look. The people at Tiandimen should have almost finished asking questions by now, but I guess they won't gain anything." Yuan Qingfang went upstairs.
Lin Chong followed leisurely: "Although they didn't gain anything, we will definitely gain something because we have a secret weapon."
Yuan Qingfang was curious: "Do you mean Xiaowan?"
Lin Chong shook his head, pointed to his nose, and then laughed loudly and went upstairs. Yuan Qingfang never knew that he had any secret weapons to deal with the little girl. Could it be that he brought them from their country? He seemed to have never seen them before.
He has used it.
So Yuan Qingfang followed Lin Chong upstairs with a confused look on his face. When he got to the room, he saw Liu Xingyan sitting on the bed in frustration, while Duanmu Ling and Nanli stood there with expressions on their faces that they wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
beside.
It was rare for the two of them to have such unified expressions. Lin Chong couldn't help but want to laugh. However, Liu Xingyan had neither the time nor the mood to laugh at them at this time.
She has been here for such a long time, and she has said all kinds of good things, and no threats or inducements have worked. This little girl is very strong-willed despite her young age, and the specific manifestation is that she refuses to take soft and hard advice.
When Liu Xingyan saw Lin Chong and Yuan Qingfang coming up, he made a helpless expression: "It's useless. No matter how hard I say it, she just won't speak. I told her that if she doesn't tell the truth, sooner or later she will die."
That's it. She ignored me. I've never seen such a stubborn little girl."
Lin Chong mocked her: "That's because people don't want to listen to what you say, so they don't want to pay attention to you. It's not that the little girl is stubborn, this thing is divided between people."
Liu Xingyan was unconvinced: "Okay, you can do it. I want to see how capable you are of making her talk."
Lin Chong raised his eyebrows: "I can make her react with just one word. Do you believe it or not? Do you want to take a gamble with me?"
"It's a joke. If you can make him talk with just one sentence, I, Liu Xingyan, will take your surname!"
Lin Chong waved his hand: "It's not necessary if you have my last name. I only need one person from our family, Xiao Qingfang, to have my last name. Let's do this. If I win, how about you give me the fares for the three of you, a total of
It’s thirty taels.”
Miss Liu's face turned green after being rejected in person, and she laughed angrily: "Don't say it's thirty taels. If I lose, I'll give you three hundred taels. If you lose, you'll be dragged away from Zhaoyun Tower today."
The carriage walks back to the inn."
"Okay, as long as you don't regret it and deny it when the time comes, you've all heard it."
Duanmu and Yanli nodded hesitantly. Although three hundred taels was not a small amount, they had just witnessed with their own eyes that no matter what Liu Xingyan said, this girl would not respond at all. It was unreasonable for the emperor to come and say a word and she would speak immediately.
Bar?
Lin Chong took a few steps forward, and his tone was different from the frivolous tone just now. He slowed down his tone, and his voice was not loud but he spoke clearly every word: "Do you still want to see your sister Xia Qing back?
?”
After saying this, the surrounding area was quiet, without any sound, including the little girl huddled on the bed.
"Xia Qing, one of the missing singers, does this matter have something to do with her? No, you have already said something, but she didn't react at all. You have lost." Liu Xingyan looked proud, as if he had already seen it.
It was so miserable that Lin Chong dragged the carriage back to the inn.
Lin Chong pointed to the people on the bed and signaled them not to worry.
Liu Xingyan looked over in confusion. It didn't matter. She was shocked. Because the person who was huddled motionless on the bed was actually trembling slightly at this moment. After a long time, a little face that was red from crying poked out from under the quilt: "You...you
Really...can we really get Sister Xia Qing back?"
"I promise you that I will try my best. I already know a lot of clues, but the most important piece is missing. Maybe you are the only one who can tell me what I want to know, so the person who can find Xia Qing is not
It’s me, but you, and only you.”
"Only me? Can I save Sister Xia Qing?" The little girl's voice was hoarse from crying. It had only been a few days since they last saw her. The little girl looked a lot more haggard. After listening to Lin Chong's words
After that, she fell into deep thought and seemed to be making a very difficult choice.
After Lin Chong comforted the little girl, knowing that it was inevitable for her to tell the truth, he decided to give her some time to think.
So the next time was left for his favorite part. Lin Chong proudly stretched out his hand towards Liu Xingyan: "Three hundred taels of silver, do you want it in cash or banknotes? Again, no credit is allowed, so don't think about it.
Please give me an IOU."
Liu Xingyan has a black line. Is it true that you, a king of a country, are so stingy? After making a bet, you immediately ask people for money in front of them. You must have been poor in your last life! In this life, when you become the emperor, you will be the richest in the world.
Can't save you.
"I'm willing to admit defeat. If you lose, you have nothing to admit. I won't owe you money and I won't pay it back. Don't worry about this. I don't have that much money with me. I will find it for you when I get back to the inn.
Banknote."
"Okay, okay, thank you for your support, boss, and welcome to ride next time." Lin Chong said with a smile that was embarrassing.
"You should have a good rest tonight. Our people will definitely protect you. You don't have to worry about this. We will come to see you tomorrow." Liu Xingyan lost three hundred taels in the blink of an eye. His liver ached with anger as he looked at it.
The culprit was even more furious and left after simply explaining a few words.
