Qin Xian'er nodded: "Aside from them, who else has such great ability and can gather so many scholars in one night? Don't forget, Mr. Gu Shunzhang, who is a well-known imperial teacher in the world. Even his father When the emperor sees him, he must perform the teacher's ceremony."
Emperor teacher? Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. As the emperor's teacher, how could Mr. Gu not judge the situation and want to confront his own students? He snorted, and asked the person who spoke just now: "What are you doing at Gu's house? Mr. Gu Shunzhang sent you here?"
"Xiaodi and the two are the nursing home of the Gu family. The old lady has gone on a trip and has not yet returned. It was the old lady who heard that something happened to the young master, so she specially sent Xiaodi to check the place." The man hurriedly replied.
old lady? It's no wonder. Lin Wanrong nodded, and casually said: "Your old lady has some tricks. You can come up with such a desperate plan to besiege the Lin Mansion in one night, which is really admirable, hehe. Is there any high-level reference? , are you helping her with ideas?!"
"Xiaodi doesn't know." Seeing Master Lin's ferocious expression with a smile on his face, the man was frightened and hurriedly kowtowed: "Both of us are just underground people in the mansion, and I really don't know about the things you keep asking. "
These two people are also working for others, and their knowledge is limited. Lin Wanrong didn't bother to ask any more, so Side called two guards hiding in the dark, and took them down.
"Sir, what should we do now? Shall we go directly to the Gu family to settle the score with the old lady?" Miss Qin Xian'er was very impatient. When she heard that the Gu family was instigating people to make trouble, she wanted to kill herself.
"Account? What account?" Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled: "Just based on the words of these two people, you can confiscate your father's teacher? Isn't this a joke?!"
Qin Xian'er thought about it, and felt that she was a little reckless. Gu Shunzhang was a well-known emperor teacher. Even his father dared not act presumptuously in front of him. Who would dare to copy his house
"Then what should we do?" Miss Qin snorted, and said aggrievedly: "I can't beat and kill, but I can't let these people surround our house all the time?"
"Don't worry." Lin Wanrong took her hand and said with a smile: "These are mobs who can't make waves. What really matters is the person behind the invisible!"
"You mean King Cheng?!" Seeing Master Lin smiling treacherously, Ms. Qin suddenly became delighted: "Master, can you really catch him?!"
Master Lin stroked her little hand and laughed, neither saying yes nor no. Miss Qin knew about her husband's temper. He would not say things that he was not sure about. So he settled down and didn't ask any more questions. .
Qin Xian'er found a soft sedan chair, and the two of them sat in it. After walking for a while, they left the scholars behind them far away. Seeing that the gentleman kept poking his head out to look around, the sedan chair turned around in the alley. Touching, Qin Xian'er was also confused: "Master, what are you looking at? Where are we going?"
Master Lin smiled mysteriously, but did not answer. Miss Qin was wondering, but the sedan chair stopped, and the bearer who was walking in front turned around and said respectfully in a low voice, "My lord, we have arrived."
arrive? Qin Xian'er moved lightly with lotus steps, stepped off the sedan chair slowly, and looked around for a few times, but was shocked. The place where the two of them were standing in front of them was a narrow alley, although it was daylight, it was bright but very gloomy. On the opposite side of the alley is an extremely large house. It covers an area of hundreds of acres, and a pair of stone lions stand proudly at the entrance. Only half of the vermilion lacquered gate is left, and it is rickety and it is about to fall. Inside the house Diqionglou and Cuige. You can't see the side at a glance. The beams of the roof are all pitch-black, and the few attics on the ground are burned to the bone. The air is filled with the smell of sulfur and smoke, which chokes the nose. , only the faintly exposed golden brick and jade roof can faintly see the prosperity and splendor of the past.
"Master, what are you doing back to the palace?" Qin Xian'er looked at him suspiciously. It turned out that the sedan chair the two of them were riding in was rickety, and they had returned to the alley opposite Chengwang's mansion. Seeing the prosperity of the past The Royal Mansion fell overnight, and Qin Xian'er felt a little strange at the same time.
"I don't know either." Lin Wanrong spread his hands helplessly, pointing at the person walking in the distance: "This kid called me here."
The burly man who came from a distance was in a hurry. When he saw the two of them at a glance, he immediately stepped forward and knelt down happily: "The low-ranking high chief, I have seen Princess Nishang, and I have seen Lord Lin."
The high chief's clothes are messy, his stubble is flaking, his eyes are bloodshot, and he seems to have not slept all night. Lin Wanrong chuckled and said: "Stop these hypocrisy, Brother Gao, you have worked hard."
Qin Xian'er remembered what Xianggong said just before leaving the mansion, and suddenly realized, she grabbed Lin Wanrong and said, "Master, what did you send Gao Chief to do, and how did you go around, and we returned to the palace?"
"Well, I have to ask Brother Gao, I'm just as confused as you are." Lin Wanrong smiled and shrugged, with some doubts on his face.
"Commander Gao, what's going on here?" Qin Xian'er turned her gaze to Gao Chief, and her tone unconsciously carried a bit of majesty.
Gao Chief was still a little afraid of this witch princess, and hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Back to the princess, this matter has to start from last night. Last night, under the order of Master Lin, I sneaked into the palace. I wanted to search for some evidence. Check out the situation. Unexpectedly, the courtyard of the Wangfu is too big, and I got lost in it. I don’t know why, and then I saw the courtyard of the Wangfu was on fire—oh. Princess, please trust me. I really didn't light the fire, Mr. Lin can testify for the humble job—"
"Well, I'll testify." Lord Lin said with a righteous face and dignity: "Brother Gao's character, you can do anything like rape and looting, but such low-level things as arson are really out of his sight. It must be some hero, I can't understand King Cheng's evil deeds, that's why I set fire to it, it has nothing to do with Brother Gao."
Ms. Qin didn't know the way in the middle, seeing her husband-in-law and the chieftain perjured each other, she couldn't help giggling and said: "Commander Gao, it's a dry day, it's inevitable to accidentally lose a candle, I don't care about these small things. You just choose something important to say."
As expected, they are husband and wife, even the tone of speech is 80% similar to that of Lin Brothers. Gao Chief let out a hey, and said with a smile: "Thank you Princess for your understanding, and I am very grateful. It is said that the palace was flooded last night, and I was wandering around in the palace. Go, fight the fire with all your strength. Later, I saw the princess and Mr. Lin display their supernatural power. In a moment, I was overwhelmed by more than a hundred guards. Shocking the world, weeping ghosts and gods, I am greatly admired by Beizhi and his brothers."
"Brother Gao, just pick something important to say. Brother, I still have a broken leg. I really can't hear you playing a dragon." This time even Mr. Lin is not used to listening to his flattery. He interrupted him with a smile local words.
"Yes, yes," the old high chief blushed, and replied twice, his expression gradually became serious: "After the princess let go of the dozens of guards, the humble rank and his brothers, under the secret order of Master Lin, secretly sneaked in Behind these people—”
Qin Xian'er was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the situation where Xianggong let her go last night. She immediately clapped her hands in distress: "Oh, why didn't I think of this idea?! I wondered why Xianggong suddenly became magnanimous, but It turned out that the praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind."
What kind of words is this? Am I not generous in normal times? Master Lin was full of helplessness. Qin Xian'er glanced at him happily, and then said to Gao Chief: "Hurry up and continue, what else did Xianggong tell you? He has a lot of goofy intestines in his stomach."
"Yes. The humble rank and his brothers are divided into several groups, follow the guards of the palace who were dismissed by the princess, and investigate their whereabouts. Chase them all the way. Most of these dozens of people listen to the princess's teachings and reform themselves. , directly dispersed—"
Qin Xian'er nodded and smiled: "So, there are exceptions?!"
"That's right, the princess is really smart and clever, and I admire her admiration!" Gao Chief bowed down and flattered her.
"Master, look," Qin Xian'er smiled and gave Master Lin a white look: "These people follow you, and they haven't learned much in other skills, but this flattering kung fu has been taught by you."
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, the princess has praised you so much." Gao Chief said sincerely: "The light of the firefly, how dare you compete with the bright moon? A little skill in a lowly position is not one ten thousandth as good as Mr. Lin. Quan Nai taught him well- "
"Teach me a fart," Mr. Lin couldn't listen any longer, and said with a snort, "If you have something to say, don't play around. What is the exception? You're going to be honest."
"Yes, yes." Gao Chief said with a flattering smile: "The humble official has gone through untold hardships, tossed and turned for a day and a night without sleep, and only ate ten steamed buns on the way. He has always been behind these two people, and finally, the hard work pays off. The humble job has made some discoveries."
This old boy stopped flattering, but praised himself like a flower, Mr. Lin was completely speechless. Xian'er smiled and said: "Commander Gao, as long as you get things done, I will definitely report to my father." , give you a great credit. Can you quickly tell me what you found?"
"A humble job does not seek rewards for meritorious service, but only to protect my emperor forever. Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Gao Chief knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times before standing up, looking around a few times. He lowered his voice, mysteriously Xixi said: "The humble staff followed the two of them all the way. These two boys are very vigilant, they stop and go all the way, and they keep going around the police station, trying to find out if anyone is following them. Fortunately, the humble staff is bold, And witty and flexible, they didn't notice it in the end. Waiting until noon today, Beizhi made a shocking discovery, these two people went around, but they came back to the palace—”
Damn, after listening to Lao Gao bragging for a long time, the last sentence is the most important. Lin Wanrong hurriedly said: "Go back to the palace? What about them, where are they now?!"
"This is the strange thing." Gao Chief frowned, his face was full of puzzlement: "When they return to the palace, the humble officials dare not be careless, and immediately send someone to invite you, Brother Lin. It's just puzzling that, When those two entered the palace, they disappeared without a trace and were never found again."
"Disappeared?!" Lin Wanrong exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that he ran away from another place?!"
The high chief shook his head solemnly: "There are our eyeliners all around. Even if they have wings, they want to escape under our noses, it is absolutely impossible."
The high chief said so firmly, and his whereabouts were not revealed when he followed him, there was no reason for the two to escape. But why did they disappear after entering the palace? Lin Wanrong let out a long breath, frowned, and leaned on the wheelchair to meditate.
Qin Xian'er also knew that this was the critical moment, she didn't dare to interrupt Lin Wanrong's thoughts, so she stretched out her little hand and gently massaged his shoulder.
Lord Lin snorted comfortably, and patted Xian'er's little hand. He slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a divine light in his eyes: "Brother Gao, have you searched carefully inside and outside the palace? Is there any authentic secret room?" something like that?"
Gao Chief hurriedly shook his head: "I thought so at the beginning. King Cheng used the tunnel to escape from Xiangguo Temple, so I paid special attention. But, taking advantage of the commotion last night, we have searched inside and outside the palace three times. The house, the boudoir, the garden, the stove. We never let go of any place where we could settle down. Who would have thought that this palace was so clean and clean that we had never seen the entrance to a secret room, and there was no flaw in it. It’s beyond comprehension.”
Not a single flaw? This is too strange! Lin Wanrong sneered and said: "If there is really no flaw at all, then it is the biggest flaw! Brother Gao, immediately organize a team to search again, dig three feet into the ground, and dig out those two people for me."
Gao Chief responded, and was puzzled again: "Brother Lin, are these two guards so important to mobilize so many people?!"
"It's not about them—" Master Lin closed his eyes and meditated, and sneered: "—it's about the person hiding behind them—Brother Gao, you must finish this matter well. If my prediction is correct, we will find That big fish must be hiding in the palace."
"What?!" Qin Xian'er and Gao Chief exclaimed at the same time.
