The dim back

Zhang Yulu blinked, feeling that she still couldn't make up with Lin Xuefeng in the present. To be honest, Lin Xuefeng was still unstable after all.

Zhang Yulu was swaying from side to side, feeling extremely embarrassed. Zhang Yulu turned to Lin Xuefeng and asked further: "Do you want to return to our modern times now? Should we find a way to go back?"

In the past, Lin Xuefeng always clamored to go back, but now, Lin Xuefeng actually said: "I feel much more comfortable here. If I go back, I will have endless overtime work. If I am not satisfied with one thing, the boss will scold me. It's different here. I only need to please the Queen Mother, and she can find out the affairs of my family, and I can be a young master again."

Zhang Yulu felt that everyone has their own ideas, and there was no need to impose their own ideas on others, so Zhang Yulu stopped forcing it: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say much. I feel exhausted physically and mentally recently, and I really want to be alone and have some free time."

Lin Xuefeng immediately denied: "This idea will not come true, because the Queen Mother is watching you now. If you listen to me, you should quickly break off contact with Liu Zhongqing and marry me."

Zhang Yulu smiled bitterly and said, "In the end, you are still using me as a shield to block the rumors between you and the Queen Mother. I don't want to continue doing this."

Liu Zhongqing felt that things still needed to be clarified.

Lin Xuefeng told Zhang Yulu a secret: "Do you know what secrets are there recently? I forgot to tell you, Qiu Feng, this man, is trying to win over officials while monopolizing Liu Zhongqing. They seem to know a little bit about the death of his father. After all, Sister Ya's father was once an old subordinate of their family."

This news was particularly useful to Zhang Yulu. Lin Xuefeng said to Zhang Yulu, "I don't want to say more about the rest. I just got a little clue from it. Qiu Feng and Master Jiao Silang are very close."

Zhang Yulu had heard of this person's name for the first time. She looked at Lin Xuefeng in confusion and asked, "Who is this Jiao Silang?"

Lin Xuefeng smiled bitterly and said, "How dare you say that you have the best relationship with Liu Zhongxing? I also heard about it from the Queen Mother. Jiao Silang is a close friend of Liu Zhongqing. Qiu Feng also knows this person."

Zhang Yulu nodded, and Lin Xuefeng continued to say, "Only those who are recognized by Liu Zhongqing will be brought to Jiao Silang. Obviously, you are not someone Liu Zhongqing thinks is reliable."

Zhang Yulu felt that he had learned almost everything today, so he said to Lin Xuefeng, "You should continue to play with the crickets. I'm going to do something over there. We can continue to talk in detail when we have a chance."

Lin Xuefeng is the kind of person who will play the long game to catch the big fish. He will never continue to pester her. He nodded and said to Zhang Yulu, "You should consider my opinion carefully. After all, we can still hold on to the Queen Mother. Don't do anything that will make you regret it."

After Lin Xuefeng finished saying this, he stood up silently, turned around and walked to the entrance of the alley where crickets were being played.

When Zhang Yulu returned to Yiren Villa, she saw Liu Zhongqing wiping his sword. Liu Zhongxing would only do these things when he was angry.

Zhang Yulu asked Liu Zhongqing tentatively: "What's wrong with you? Why are you so sad? Tell me what's going on."

Liu Zhongqing scolded Zhang Yulu: "I trusted you so much, why did you tell everyone all the secrets I knew? Do you know how passive I was today?"

Zhang Yulu was very surprised: "What is it that makes you so anxious? Then tell us and we will listen. I don't think there is a solution."

Liu Zhongqing angrily threw the sword in his hand on the table: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, your father is actually using me to get the emperor's thoughts from me. This is a secret, I won't tell you. He actually sent you here, mainly to find out about Lord Qiu's affairs."

Zhang Yulu felt her heart beating non-stop, after all, her father had been involved in the murder of Lord Qiu.

Zhang Yulu also regretted: "I didn't tell my father too much about you. I don't know how things turned out like this."

Liu Zhongqing then told the truth: "This morning, Qiu Feng cried and told me that his father's old subordinate was killed this morning. The clues were cut off. I was the only one who mentioned this person to you."

Zhang Yulu was obviously speechless. After thinking carefully, she remembered that she seemed to have really talked about this person with her father yesterday. It seemed that her father was really quick.

However, Zhang Yulu could not make concessions on the surface: "Liu Zhongqing, I don't want to say anything extra. You must have wronged me. You don't have any evidence. I only see a few people every day. Who can I tell this to?"

Qiu Feng felt exhausted. He walked in from outside and said to Zhang Yulu bluntly, "Well, Zhang Yulu, you are helping me on the surface, but in fact, you heard from me at the dinner that I only told Liu Zhongqing about this matter with my subordinates. Liu Zhongqing also told me that he only mentioned it to you. Is there something fishy going on?"

After hearing these words, Zhang Yulu felt a little sad. Why did she agree to her father at that time? Was it to cover up her father's guilt?

Zhang Yulu thought about this and said, "I can only tell you one thing. My father did participate in the grain transport, but he only helped to guard it. He did nothing else. What exactly were they plotting in the house? My father really doesn't know."

After hearing these words, Liu Zhongqing looked at Zhang Yulu with some disappointment: "Why didn't you say it yesterday? Now that someone has died, you are talking about it. I still suspect that it was your father who did it. After all, Yiren Villa is also well-known in the martial arts world. Who did your father cooperate with at that time?"

Zhang Yulu felt that it was time to tell the truth: "You can say that I am ungrateful or that I am righteous, but I am telling the truth. My father only had dealings with Yujiabao at the time, which may be why he did not agree to the marriage between Yu Xiaoyao and Zhang Fengxue."

Qiu Feng, who was standing nearby, expressed his opinion: "Since I am the party involved, I will have the right to speak in the future. I feel that there are still some things that I don't understand. My father had a best friend at the time. We can go ask this person."

Liu Zhongqing repeatedly warned Zhang Yulu: "Since your father feels guilty, don't let him know about this. I also suspect that he is still in contact with Yujiabao, and we don't know who is behind them."

Qiu Feng also made his own judgment: "Then I will not hold your father responsible for the time being. Let's catch the mastermind first."
