Regarding Lin Xi's almost death, Shang Jueheng would naturally not let the people behind the scenes go easily, but he didn't have time to deal with it, so he ordered the manager to let him handle everything.
This made Hong Lin even more dissatisfied with this young man. Lin Xi had a pretty face, and her long and narrow Danfeng eyes were somewhat feminine.This looks like someone with a deep mind. Hong Lin has served Merchant Fort for decades, so he naturally doesn't hope that the future mistress of Merchant Fort will be such a person.
Merchant Fort is also well-known in the Jianghu, and Shang Jueheng became famous at a young age, and later gained the name of a heartless sword in the Jianghu.
As far as Shang Jueheng's future wife is concerned, if she is not a chivalrous woman from the rivers and lakes, she should also be a lady from a famous family. Even if the castle owner likes men, she should be a high-spirited young man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
This Lin Xi will also use some small tricks to please the castle owner, how can she be worthy of such a high-ranking figure as the castle owner?
From Hong Lin's point of view, it's normal for the castle owner to have a few lovers, but this time Lin Xi was able to live in the Yulin Courtyard where the castle owner was.This was no small matter, and it was for him to simply send away the concubines and male favorites he had loved in the past.
Even though he was thinking this way in his heart, he still clasped his hands and put on a respectful attitude, "The castle master has ordered that if the master envoy is found, he will be handed over to Young Master Lin."
"Oh?" Lin Xi raised his tone and said with great interest, "That's fine, bring it here for me to see."
When Hong Lin brought him over, Lin Xi was sitting crookedly on the recliner and eating fruit.When he looked at the person who was said to be the chief envoy standing in front of him with such a big face, he probably had a rough judgment on the chief executive and some people.
The young man standing in front of him seemed to have a lot of backbone. He was dressed in snow-white clothes, and his black hair was randomly tied up with a white jade hairpin.If Lin San hadn't told him in advance that this was also one of the harems that Shang Jueheng had accepted, he would really have thought that this was a handsome gentleman from some famous family.
This son named Xiao Jin used to be a young lady in a certain Chu Pavilion. Because of his outstanding appearance and talent, a large number of masters who love the south wind paid a lot of money to support him.Later, after Shang Jueheng took a fancy to him, he brought him back to Merchant Fort.
Although this young master was born in Chuguan, he has always been very sympathetic, but he is quite out of tune with other people in other courtyards, and his relationship with Shang Jueheng has always been lukewarm.So he was supposed to be the first group to leave, but for some reason he stayed and even did something like stealing medicinal materials that almost killed Lin Xi.
After the incident came to light, Xiao Jin didn't complain or struggle, and just stood in front of him openly.
Lin Xi propped her cheek with one hand and asked casually, "Why do you want to kill me?"
Xiao Jin kept a cold face, but he didn't answer his question directly, he just answered ambiguously, "No one in the other courtyard doesn't want you to die, and you took away their hope, so naturally there is a reason to hate you and kill you .”
Lin Xi stared straight at his face, looked at his gradually unnatural expression and asked as if teasing, "Then let me ask you, what is the name of the medicinal material you added to my medicine?"
Xiao Jin's body stiffened in an instant, and his hands hidden under the sleeves trembled slightly, but he still forced a calm look on his face, "What's the point of telling you now, anyway, my plan is not If you succeed, you can kill or cut as you please."
Lin Xi's half-smile expression made Xiao Jin very uneasy, this person was completely different from what that person said.It is clear that he is just a playboy with a pure nature, so it will not be difficult to deal with it.But in fact, as long as Lin Xi's clear eyes glanced at it, it was enough to make him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
Being so narrow and calm is not like a brainless playboy.
Pulling the fox fur on his body, Lin Xi felt that his body was weaker than before after this life-and-death calamity. It was just that the weather in late autumn made him feel cold for a while.On the other hand, Lin San, who was next to him, saw his small movements, and automatically and consciously carried out the stove that was prepared outside, and put it in the corner of the room.
This will not let the heat smoke Lin Xi, but also make the room warmer.
Lin Xi glanced curiously, "Has your Merchant Fort already started preparing the stove this season?"
Standing beside him, Lin San replied respectfully, "The owner of the castle has deep internal strength. In the past, there was no stove in the room of Yulin Courtyard. But the owner of the castle asked his subordinates to prepare it before leaving, lest you will be cold."
Lin Xi blinked, and felt that the heart was tightly wrapped by a warm current. He felt that Shang Jueheng had brought him too many surprises.His trust, his tenderness and his meticulous thoughtfulness were all given to himself.
Perhaps it was because of Shang Jueheng's special treatment of him that Hong Lin couldn't help but said, "Since the truth of this matter has been revealed, why do you keep asking these meaningless things. Let the subordinates take him to the execution hall to receive the punishment. We will report the outcome of this matter to the Castle Lord later.”
The inside and outside of the words are to let him not be unreasonable or forgiving, but he is just a male favorite, so why bother to push his nose on the face.Although this matter was left to him to handle, and it was never Lin Xi who was in charge of this business castle, but Shang Jueheng.
Lin Xi glanced at him with a sneer and then looked at Xiao Jin even more sinisterly, "I can understand that you want to kill me without knowing what you added, right? No one doubts your goal Is it me or Shang Jueheng? If you are only targeting me, then you have tampered with my medicine. Have you ever thought about what if Shang Jueheng accidentally drank it? The criminal court doesn’t even have a trial. Are you pointing the finger at my master's person? He can stand in front of me unscathed, what does this mean, Hong Lin, can you still think clearly? You can't even see the master's backyard, so how can you judge me? thoughts and conduct?"
Shang Jueheng must have absolute prestige in the Merchant Fort. His body is related to the wealth and lives of all the subordinates who depend on the Merchant Fort to live, so his authority must not be shaken.It's just that during this period of time, he lost his memory and wandered outside. Although there was no chaos inside the Merchant Fort, it did cause some people to have thoughts that they shouldn't have.
Judging by Merchant Fort's influence in the Jianghu and the eyeliners scattered all over the place, how difficult would it be to find a person who lost his memory?But if he hadn't happened to meet Han Liwan, he might still be just a martial arts guard next to Lin Xi.
The only explanation for this can only be that someone in the Merchant Fort interfered with it.This matter of causality and business jueheng can certainly be guessed, it just depends on who is so impatient to jump out to make trouble.This incident probably touched Shang Jueheng's bottom line, and when he was about to clear it up, an important branch was destroyed.
Lin Xi didn't know how far Shang Jueheng let go of him. All in all, this incident made him see the clues, so he would never want to use him to stir up trouble again.And he was not doing these things unprepared. In order to thoroughly investigate the interior of the merchant fort, he even used the shadow guards who only obeyed Shang Jueheng's orders.
The Shadow Guards only listened to Shang Jueheng. When Shang Jueheng's whereabouts were unknown, they chose to hide themselves and stand still in order to preserve their strength. Therefore, they allowed Shang Jueheng to take the animal as quickly as possible on the day he returned to Merchant Fort. Reactivate your own power.
Although it was a preparation, it was just a thorough search of all the information of everyone in the merchant fort, starting from some unusual places to scrutinize.Later, several people who seemed to have ulterior motives were finalized, but an opportunity was needed for final confirmation.
This opportunity is the handsome young man in front of him, Xiao Jin.
Hong Lin probably looked down on him, so after finding out that Xiao Jin had done this, he didn't bring him to Lin Xi immediately.Thanks to him, Lin Xi also had enough time to go through Xiao Jin's life, and finally dug up some valuable information.
Lin Xi didn't really have any opinion about the manager Hong Lin, he didn't care about the other party's attitude or opinion towards him.But if this attitude is exploited by those who want to threaten Shang Jueheng, he will have to beat this loyal old manager a little bit.
Hong Lin grew up watching Shang Jueheng, like half a son.Judging from his understanding of Merchant Fort and the prestige accumulated over the years, if he favored someone other than Shang Jueheng, then at least half of the people in Merchant Fort would have to change their surnames.
It was also because of his loyalty that at least there were no irreversible problems in Merchant Fort during this period.So Lin Xi immediately ruled out the possibility of his rebellion, but his straightforward temperament is indeed easy to be used by others.
What Lin Xi said really made Hong Lin break out in a cold sweat. He easily found out that Xiao Jin did what happened this time. Although it was a bit strange, there were almost no people in the other courtyard who didn't want Lin Xi to die.So he didn't think about it deeply, and the fact that the torture hall didn't torture Xiao Jin was also taken away by him with the reason of 'they don't want the castle master to waste time on a male favorite'.
Lin Xi squinted her eyes and was very satisfied with the manager's enlightenment speed, "For the time being, no matter what kind of existence I am, whether it is important to Shang Jueheng or not. I just want to remind Manager Hong that if I die, I will be You will not be good to me or Shang Jueheng. In your words, I am in the period of being favored. If I die in Xiao Jin's hands... you think Shang Jueheng will not take his anger on you ?Maybe you have no complaints, but what about the others? They will only think that because of an outsider, the Master of the Shang Castle has had a quarrel with his subordinates who have followed him for many years."
Shang Jueheng's attitude towards Lin Xi is obvious to all in the merchant castle, it is no longer comparable to ordinary male concubine concubines.And this happened in front of Shang Jueheng, so he has every reason to believe that there are already traitors in the Merchant Fort.Suspicion of subordinates will only lead to panic, and the prestige of the merchant castle master will decrease day by day.
This made Hong Lin even more dissatisfied with this young man. Lin Xi had a pretty face, and her long and narrow Danfeng eyes were somewhat feminine.This looks like someone with a deep mind. Hong Lin has served Merchant Fort for decades, so he naturally doesn't hope that the future mistress of Merchant Fort will be such a person.
