The county horse is a medicine jar

After leaving Manxianglou, Lin Sishen did not return to his residence, but went to an old tea shop in the east of the city.

As soon as she opened the door curtain and walked in, the old shopkeeper who was standing behind the counter and fiddled with the abacus raised his eyes. Seeing the expressionless Lin Sishen, he hurriedly put down the abacus and greeted him, and called respectfully, "Young Master."

Lin Sishen glanced at him and walked straight to the inner door beside him without saying a word.

The old shopkeeper hurriedly walked to the door, looked around and saw that no one had any idea, so he closed the door, and then quickly followed into a small room inside the inner door.

Lin Sishen stood by the table with her back to him, before the old shopkeeper saluted, she said coldly: "Do you know that I was almost killed in Manxiang Tower today?"

The old shopkeeper shook his body, lowered his eyes and gritted his teeth, and said, "It's the old servant who neglected his duties. Fortunately, the son is auspicious and he has his own destiny."

Lin Sishen was really annoyed. Over the years, she had spent a lot of energy and money to set up an intelligence network in the capital, in order to catch the troubles in the capital in advance to prevent outsiders.

But this time it's a good thing, it's fine if Meng Yange's identity is not found out, and she actually let her quietly plant a pile of gunpowder under Manxiang Building.If she hadn't been lucky enough to save Meng Yange's life before, she might be buried underground now.

How can this make her not angry.

Lin Sishen turned around abruptly when he heard the words, his dark and deep eyes were full of cold light: "A group of unknown people sneaked into the capital with so much gunpowder on them, and you didn't find any news in advance?"

The old shopkeeper lowered his head in shame, and said in a low voice: "The old slave did find out that a group of unidentified people had sneaked into the capital in batches before, but their identities and purposes have not been found out yet. Later, the young master was seriously injured in the spring hunting, and the old slave didn't want to Let the young master worry again, so he made up his own mind to find out their purpose first, and then report to the young master, never thought..."

The matter has come to this point, no amount of blame will help, Lin Sishen closed his eyes a little tiredly: "Didn't I say that if there is anything unusual in the capital, you must report it to me. There are mixed forces in the capital, and sometimes you will be controlled by others if you are late. .”

After finishing speaking, Lin Sishen turned to look at the old shopkeeper, her face became softer, she sighed softly and said softly: "Old sir, I leave all major and minor matters in the capital to sir, just because I don't care about other people. Only sir Only those who are thoughtful and thoughtful can make me feel at ease."

Hearing the words, the old shopkeeper took a deep breath, hurriedly cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "My lord, after the accident in Manxianglou, the people sent by the old slave have already found out the whereabouts of a person involved in the case, and they are under strict surveillance at this time. Don't worry, my lord, as long as you follow the clues , this old slave will definitely find out who ordered these people for the young master."

"En." Lin Sishen nodded, and then asked, "Do you know how many people were killed or injured in Manxianglou today?"

"Nearly 37 people were killed or injured, 59 of whom were already dead, and [-] others were carried to the hospital for treatment. Among the people who died tragically, the highest status was Taifu Gao's second son and Zhou Guogong's son. Fourth son."

+ + + + + +

After coming out of the tea shop, Lin Sishen took a bag of tea and walked slowly back to the General's Mansion, along the way he met many imperial soldiers in a hurry.

Such a thing happened at the emperor's feet, and the dead and injured were all princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen. The emperor was already alarmed, and personally ordered General Lin and the Ninth Prince to investigate the matter together.

I'm afraid that once this happens, even the prince will be traced out.

It was originally just a sensual underground casino, even if the emperor knew about it, it would be fine, but now so many people have died just after it opened, you don't need to guess to know that the one in the East Palace is now in a panic.

And the person who benefited is undoubtedly the second prince. Could it be that Meng Yange belonged to the second prince?

But for offending so many people in order to bring down the prince, if it is finally found out, the second prince will have no way out, he should not be so stupid.

Lin Sishen walked to the gate of the General's Mansion thoughtfully, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar chariot parked in front of the mansion. She froze for a moment, then walked in quickly.

The old lady and Liu Qingyun were waiting anxiously in front of the hall, when Lin Sishen showed up, he first handed the tea to the maidservant, and then walked to the grandmother and mother in three steps at a time.

"Mother..." Lin Sishen hadn't finished calling her "mother", when Liu Qingyun suddenly stared at her angrily, stretched out his hand and slapped her hard on the face.

The force of this slap was not small, Lin Sishen's head was turned sideways, and his fair cheeks instantly turned red.

Liu Qingyun pointed at her tremblingly, and said angrily: "You rebellious son, when will you let us rest easy, you are almost married and you still dare to go to that kind of place to hang out. Grandma is so old, and you have to wait I worry about you every day.

The old lady was taken aback, and then hurriedly pulled Lin Sishen into her arms to protect her, looked at the clear five-fingerprints on her face, turned her head to look at Liu Qingyun and scolded angrily: "You hit her with such a big temper What to do, you can't sit down and talk about it, you are really willing to do it, she is your own son."

In the hall, apart from the old lady and Liu Qingyun, Shen Qinghou and Qin Hao were also there.

Seeing Lin Sishen being beaten in front of him, Qin Hao swallowed in fright. He walked over quickly and gave Lin Sishen an embarrassed look: "Brother Lin, as long as you are fine, I just want to see you Did you come back? I lost everything before and happened to go back to the mansion to get the silver, so I escaped. I thought you were still inside, so..."

After speaking, his eyes flashed, and he seemed a little guilty: "Since Brother Lin, you are fine, then I can rest assured, I... I will go first."

After Qin Hao left, Lin Sishen was tightly protected in the arms of the old lady, she raised her eyes faintly, and glanced at Shen Qinghou who was standing in the center of the hall.

Shen Qinghou's expression was cold, she just raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Sishen, her cold eyes slowly swept across her face, and then she turned her eyes away.

As always, the wind is calm and calm, and she can't see her happiness or anger at all.

Liu Qingyun stood in front of Lin Sishen, and after noticing her gaze, she stretched out her hand to pat her on the head again: "You still have the nerve to look at the princess, but you know that you can't meet before you get married. If it wasn't for something wrong with you , the princess is worried about you, otherwise how could you come to the door, and you can't rest for a day?"

Seeing Lin Sishen in her arms and Liu Qingyun still moving, the old lady glared at her angrily: "You still dare to beat my dear grandson, she knows she is wrong, why did you beat her? Do you have to beat her to death?" Are you happy?"

Liu Qingyun stomped her feet angrily: "Mother, don't protect her. Even if I don't beat her now, I will still beat her when my husband comes back. It's all because of you protecting her all the time, which made her dare to cause trouble unscrupulously."

After she finished speaking, regardless of the old lady's obstruction, she dragged Lin Sishen out, pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall and shouted: "Hurry up and kneel in the ancestral hall for my old lady to reflect, you are not allowed to get up without my old lady speaking."

Lin Sishen raised his legs silently and was about to walk towards the ancestral hall.

But the old lady didn't let go of her hand, her eyes were about to shed tears, she felt sorry for Lin Sishen and argued with Liu Qingyun: "Didn't you see how dirty my dear grandson is, she was almost scared to death when such a big thing happened. Now, you still have to make her kneel."

Shen Qinghou looked at Lin Sishen who was being pulled by the two, raised his brows calmly, and then walked slowly to the side of the three.

She stretched out her hand to support the old lady, and said softly: "Old lady, let her kneel down. When General Lin comes back and sees her admitting her mistake, she will at least extinguish her anger."

The old lady was stunned and turned her head to look at her. She felt that what she said was reasonable, so she reluctantly let go of Lin Sishen, and she did not forget to pat Shen Qinghou's hand in relief, and suddenly realized: "You are still the princess. Smart and smart, according to my unfilial son's temper, I should not beat her again when I saw her kneeling in the ancestral hall, I was so confused."

Lin Sishen raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Qinghou, and Liu Qingyun at the side stretched out her hand and pushed her: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and kneel in the ancestral hall."

After going to the ancestral hall, Lin Sishen knelt down on the futon obediently, looked at the enshrined tablet on the desk and meditated.

Not long after, she suddenly felt someone approaching, the footsteps were extremely faint, and Lin Sishen didn't realize it until she reached the door.

She didn't look back, she already guessed who it was.

Sure enough, the man walked behind her, and a faint cold fragrance penetrated into her nostrils.

"I'm a little curious, how did you escape from such a situation?"

Shen Qinghou's voice was very cold, but it made Lin Sishen clear-headed instantly. Without looking back, she lowered her eyebrows and chuckled lightly: "If I've told a lie, the princess should be able to see through it at a glance."

Shen Qinghou walked slowly to her side, Lin Sishen caught a glimpse of a corner of the pure white dress, which was embroidered with delicate patterns with silver thread.

"So you don't have to bother trying to lie."

Lin Sishen thought for a while, thinking about the last words Meng Yange said to her today, and said with a complicated expression: "Among the forces that blew up underground gambling houses, I have seen one person before, she just let me go because of nostalgia. That's all."

Shen Qinghou was silent for a long time, Lin Sishen raised his head and took a look, and happened to see the perfect line of her side face, which seemed to be alienated and cold.

She narrowed her eyes, parted her red lips lightly and said, "Old love?"

Lin Sishen frowned when he heard the words, and explained: "It's just a coincidence."

Shen Qinghou raised the corners of her lips coldly when she heard the words, lowered her eyes and glanced at her, and said with a half-smile: "Is that the beautiful woman from a foreign race? But I let Mr. Lin go just because of the chance, Mr. Lin's ability is not good enough." It's really big."

Lin Sishen heard the sarcasm in Shen Qinghou's voice, she raised her neck and said without a smile: "Speaking of which, it's thanks to your Royal Highness the princess."

"Oh?" Shen Qinghou drew a long tail, she glanced at Lin Sishen faintly: "So, I unintentionally held a red line for Mr. Lin."

Lin Sishen's smile froze, she coughed lightly and blinked: "What red line, don't talk nonsense. It was just outside Xichen Temple that day that I met that foreign woman. If you didn't send someone to kill me, I would won't meet her."

Shen Qinghou's eyes flashed, and she said calmly: "In this way, the person who saved you should be counted as me. If I hadn't sent someone to chase you down, you wouldn't have known that girl. Don't you If you know each other, she will not let you go today."

"What the princess said makes sense." Lin Sishen rubbed his chin, and said thoughtfully: "In this way, I not only have to thank the princess for not killing, but also for saving my life. .”

She originally wanted to satirize Shen Qinghou, but she didn't know if she was pretending to be stupid, but she smiled softly with her lips curled up: "Then how are you going to repay my life-saving grace?"

Lin Sishen was really thick-skinned, Lin Sishen complained secretly in his heart, but there was a bright smile on his face: "If you want to repay the favor of saving your life, you should naturally promise it with your body."

Anyway, they are going to get married, so there is nothing wrong with saying that they promise each other with their bodies.

Shen Qinghou glanced at her indifferently: "Poor mouth."

The reason why she came to Lin Sishen was because Shen Qinghou wanted to know how she escaped, and after knowing the answer, Shen Qinghou planned to leave.

"Kneel down and accept the punishment. I'll go back to the palace first."

"Wait." Lin Sishen hurriedly stopped her, and when Shen Qinghou stopped and looked at her suspiciously, she hesitated and said, "Can you do me a favor?"

Shen Qinghou looked at her, raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's listen."

Lin Sishen pursed his lips, and said helplessly, "When I bought that foreign woman, I spent a thousand gold."

Shen Qinghou's eyes flashed, and she said with a half-smile, "Borrow money?"

"No." Lin Sishen denied, and then said sternly: "My father will definitely ask where I got the thousand gold, then I will say that I borrowed it from you, how about it?"

"Yes." Shen Qinghou agreed resolutely, but soon she jokingly said: "When will Mr. Lin plan to return my thousand gold?"

Lin Sishen was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her in disbelief: "Could it be that you want to take advantage of others' danger?"

"Since you are willing to spend a thousand gold for that foreign woman, why don't you want to spend another thousand gold to bribe me to make a confession for you?"

Shen Qinghou with a cold expression just blackmailed Lin Sishen in such a serious manner, but besides her, Lin Sishen couldn't find another person with a thousand gold who was willing to lend it to her.

Lin Sishen gritted her teeth, but fortunately she had a lot of money, so she stared at Shen Qinghou resentfully: "Deal."

Shen Qinghou glanced across her face lightly, she seemed to be in a good mood, and a smile flashed across her face: "Very good."

After extorting a thousand gold from Lin Sishen, Shen Qinghou left without hesitation, while Lin Sishen continued to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Not long after she left, Liu Qingyun suddenly appeared.

"Shen'er." She held up the corner of her skirt and approached Lin Sishen with a smile, sizing up half of her red face.

Lin Sishen seemed to see a trace of danger in Liu Qingyun's eyes, she leaned back and said in a low voice, "Mother, what are you going to do?"

Liu Qingyun shook her head, touched Lin Sishen's face with some hesitation, and said distressedly: "Mother's hand is a bit heavy today, does it hurt?"

Lin Sishen straightened up on his knees, and shook his head: "I know mother is doing it for my own good, so punish me first, so as not to be too harsh on father."

Liu Qingyun sighed, and gently touched her face: "It's good that you know what mother wants, mother is for your own good, and you also know how hard your father's attack is. If he slaps you, you're afraid It will swell for several days."

Lin Sishen was noncommittal, she knew that Liu Qingyun was doing it for her own benefit, so she had no complaints in her heart.

Liu Qingyun lowered her head, her eyes suddenly turned red, she choked up and said, "So many people died in the capital today, do you know how worried me, grandma and your father are, I almost thought something happened to you .”

As soon as she cried, Lin Sishen became emotionally depressed. She stretched out her hand to wipe Liu Qingyun's tears distressedly, and comforted in a low voice: "I'm sorry, mother, it's my fault. I shouldn't make you worry about me."

Liu Qingyun sniffled, blinked her red eyes and said, "Fortunately, you are safe and sound, otherwise mother wouldn't know how to live."

A warm feeling surged in his heart, Lin Sishen hugged Liu Qingyun coquettishly, and finally showed his daughter's look in front of her: "Mother, don't worry, I don't die so easily, it is said that the disaster will last for thousands of years." Well."

Liu Qingyun pushed her away, and couldn't help laughing out of tears, she gave Lin Sishen a white look: "I don't think I'm a scourge."

Lin Sishen raised a smile: "You should go back and rest for a while, don't worry about me."

Liu Qingyun nodded, then stared at her hesitantly for a while, and then said: "I came to see you because the princess said..."

"What did she say?" Lin Sishen was a little puzzled.

Liu Qingyun looked away with some guilt: "She said that the finger marks on your face seem to have disappeared, and I wondered if your father came back and found you safe and sound..."

The smile on Lin Sishen's face froze instantly, she looked at Liu Qingyun faintly: "Mother, you came here to slap me again, right?"

Liu Qingyun grabbed her shoulders, staring straight at her face with her eyes: "Just for a moment, bear with it and pass."

"Snapped."

Hearing a crisp applause from inside the ancestral hall, Lin Sishen turned her head slowly, with a clear five-fingerprint on each fair and handsome face, she glanced at Liu Qingyun without saying a word, then lowered her head.

Liu Qingyun was distressed and guilty, she looked away weakly: "Shen'er, you...don't blame mother."

General Lin came back after dark. As soon as he heard that Lin Sishen was kneeling in the ancestral hall, he rushed to the ancestral hall angrily, and saw Lin Sishen kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet at a glance.

Lin Sishen turned his head slowly when he heard the noisy footsteps, and the two five-fingerprints on his face startled General Lin.

Liu Qingyun at the side hastily pulled him to explain: "Husband, I have already taught her a lesson, she knows she was wrong."

General Lin sighed wearily, and beckoned to Lin Sishen: "Let's talk about it later, I have something to ask her now. Shen'er, come with me to the study."

Along the way, Lin Sishen silently followed General Lin into the study.

After the servant brought the tea, General Lin asked him to leave, and only Lin Sishen was left with him in the study. Looking at General Lin's gloomy face, Lin Sishen knew that this time things were not that simple, and she was still involved in the end.

General Lin sat upright behind the desk, staring at Lin Sishen with fiery eyes, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Come on, Qin Hao and Li Qi both said that you were in an underground gambling house, why would you Came back from outside the city?"

Lin Sishen took a deep breath. Although Meng Yange saved her by releasing her, her disappearance in an underground gambling house would always attract suspicion.

She had already figured out the wording before, so she explained with a serious face at this time: "Father should know that the child spent a thousand gold to buy a woman of a foreign race."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at General Lin from the corner of her eye, and as expected, General Lin's face darkened immediately.

Lin Sishen coughed lightly and continued to explain: "When I was alone in the room with the foreign woman, she offered my son a cup of tea. After taking a sip, my son realized something was wrong, so he poured it secretly while she was not paying attention. Afterwards, my son felt a little dizzy, so I He pretended to pass out. In fact, the boy was still awake at the time, and the boy secretly saw the woman open a secret door in the house, so he wanted to take the opportunity to run out."

"Unexpectedly, the woman found out what the boy was doing, and raised a knife to kill the boy. After fighting with her for a while, the boy gradually felt dizzy, and fled into the secret door when he was panicked. Only by running in the direction where the secret passage leads, did I escape the catastrophe.”

General Lin nodded, and indeed found a secret passage in the bombed-out underground gambling house of Manxianglou.He stroked the beard on his chin, and said softly: "So, you were lucky enough to discover the conspiracy of the foreign woman, so you took the opportunity to escape?"

Lin Sishen nodded solemnly: "Yes, I wanted to go back and report immediately after the child regained his sight, but the drug that woman gave the child was too strong, so the child passed out on the ground. When he woke up, he hurried back to the capital. But it's too late."

General Lin was just asking Lin Sishen as usual, he naturally would not doubt his own son: "Actually, my father doesn't believe that you will collude with those villains. Although you have a stubborn temper, you are not the kind of person who cannot be forgiven. Today After suffering such a big loss, you should remember it in your heart. You will learn a lot of wisdom, and you are not allowed to go to those brothel gambling houses where fish and dragons are mixed together in the future."

Lin Sishen nodded again and again: "I will remember it in my heart."

General Lin stared at her with squinted eyes, and asked again: "How did you get that thousand gold? I have always been an upright official. Although I have some money, it was all rewarded by Your Majesty. I don't remember when I gave it to you." One thousand gold."

Sure enough, General Lin asked her about the origin of the thousand gold, but fortunately, Lin Sishen had already confessed to Shen Qinghou.

She took a deep breath and looked at General Lin with some trepidation, then lowered her head and said weakly: "Boy...Boy once asked the princess to borrow a thousand pieces of gold."

"What!" As soon as General Lin's face changed, he jumped up, glaring at Lin Sishen angrily, pointing at her trembling hand: "You...you actually asked the princess to borrow a thousand gold?"

Lin Sishen shuddered, and hurriedly explained: "Yes, the princess asked the boy if he was short of money. The boy didn't want to borrow so much, but the princess insisted on giving it to me."

"You...you rebellious son, I must beat you to death today."

General Lin looked left and right angrily. He rolled up his sleeves and caught a glimpse of a feather duster beside him. He held it in his hand and walked towards Lin Sishen angrily.

Lin Sishen gasped, knowing that her father was really going to do something, she hurriedly walked around the desk: "Father, don't do anything first, you should listen to the child's explanation first."

General Lin was in a fit of anger, how could he calm down and listen to her explanation? He chased Lin Sishen and ran around the room, gnashing his teeth and scolding: "What is there to explain, you bastard, you said you want to be shameless, ah, you put My Lin family has lost all face."

It was really because General Lin struck too hard, with his brute force, Lin Sishen's bones were ready to be broken by a feather duster, so Lin Sishen had to run.While running around the house, he promised: "Father, I will definitely return the one thousand gold to the Princess, and I have already promised her."

General Lin blew his beard and stared angrily, his eyes were red, as if he had really lost his mind.He went down with a feather duster, and a wooden chair in the house was sunken with a deep mark: "It's embarrassing enough for you to borrow money, but you dare to borrow the princess's money to go whoring, you are really devoid of conscience and humanity."

Lin Sishen's complexion changed drastically, she rushed up to the table in a hurry, and casually took a vase that General Lin liked most in front of her.

General Lin held up the feather duster with his beard blowing and staring, but looked at the vase and was reluctant to do it, so he gritted his teeth and pointed at her: "Get off, get off, put the vase down, believe it or not, I will kill you, an unfilial son."

Lin Sishen hid behind the vase and bargained: "Father, you put down the feather duster first, and I'll put down your precious vase."

"It's against you, you still dare to threaten me." General Lin was furious from the heart, and he swung his hand violently. Although the feather duster didn't touch the vase in Lin Sishen's hand, he heard a crisp breaking sound.

Lin Sishen looked down, and saw a crack slowly climbed up the vase in his hand, and then the crack spread rapidly, and within a short while the entire vase was covered with cracks.

With a slight shake of the hand, the vase instantly shattered, and the pieces fell all over the table.

Holding the base, Lin Sishen raised her head in a daze, met General Lin's dull eyes, raised a stiff smile, and gave General Lin a thumbs up: "Father, you are good at martial arts."

That night, General Lin used a feather duster to chase Lin Sishen from the study to the back garden, and from the back garden to the gate of the mansion. After being stopped, she ran all the way to the old lady's Buddhist hall, and finally hid in the old lady I dare not go out of my arms.

The servants of the general's mansion not only took it easy, but also felt nostalgic for it.In the past, the young master was chased by the general with a knife every now and then, but this time it took two months.

This Lin Sishen was avoiding his own father's pursuit, and the other end Shen Qinghou was also looking helplessly at the Ninth Prince in the house.

The Ninth Prince stood up against the case with a look of displeasure, and said with a dark face: "Announce the engagement, you must annul the engagement."

Shen Qinghou pursed her lips, and said, "Father, Mr. Lin, she actually..."

The Ninth Prince interrupted her with a solemn expression: "My son, why not do this. The father will invite all the young talents in the capital to the general's mansion tomorrow, and let you pick them one by one. The father can do anything. Listen to you, this is the only thing my father can't obey you, my father can't just watch you jump into the fire pit."

It was almost the wedding day, and the Ninth Prince suddenly regretted it again. No matter what Shen Qingwei said, he would not stop breathing, and he insisted on breaking off the engagement with Lin Sishen.

He even wanted to go to the palace overnight to mention this matter to the emperor.

In order to stop him, Shen Qingwan had no other choice, she raised her eyes to look at Lord Ninth, bit her lips and said in a low voice: "Father, in fact, my daughter has made a private decision with Mr. Lin for life, and they are husband and wife."

Ninth Prince looked at her in a daze, his voice trembling: "What did you say?"

The author has something to say: emmm, do you want to change it tomorrow?
