Your heart's desire

Chapter 019 Murder Case

Lin Ying's ailment was caused by a winter four years ago.

The feng shui in the south of the Yangtze River is mild, the sun is bright all year round, and people are rarely frozen, but the cold winter four years ago was so cold that it came suddenly.Overnight, corpses were piled up in rows on the long streets in front of the mansions of state capitals.

In order to shirk their responsibilities, the officials gathered these cold corpses in twos and threes, threw them on the barren hills outside the city, poured oil and water on them, and burned them to a pile of ashes, which was inhumane.

At that time, Lin Yingchu arrived in the south of the Yangtze River.Because of the disaster in Jiangbei, there was not enough food in Jiangnan at that time.

Mr. Jin's family is not well-off either. He relies on selling calligraphy to support a whole family of people. He doesn't need to buy some warm clothes and a charcoal fire in the house on weekdays, and he can barely support his expenses.

But the house leaked every night rain.

Originally, the weather changed suddenly, and the items needed to keep warm had to be transported from other places, so the price was twice as expensive. It was a coincidence that Mr. Jin suddenly fell ill at this time, which made things worse for a while, making everyone panic I was dumbfounded.

The money in the house was barely enough to buy some cotton clothes, and it took a lot of money to keep out the cold and not be frozen to death, but the gate of the state capital compound was always closed and refused to give relief, and eating became the most difficult thing to worry about.

When he had no way out, Lin Ying heard someone say from the side that someone in the lake on the outskirts of the city had dug open the surface of the lake and caught a big fish with a net bag. His mind suddenly moved, and without even thinking about it, he went out without telling everyone. .

Unexpectedly, after half a day's work, when I got there, I found that the lake surface had been dug up within a hundred steps, and there was no one around, so I picked up the net bag on the ground and walked around the lake surface. Not even a speck of fish fry was found.

He sat on the edge of the lake in disappointment for a while, during which several people came back and forth with sighs and returned in vain.

Thinking that the people in the room would starve for several days, he stared at the lake for a while, finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, took off his clothes and plunged into the lake.

It took eight days to do this repeatedly, and Lin Ying's sister realized something was wrong.

One day, I took Chi Pin to follow Lin Ying secretly, and saw that when he swam up from the water, he had already drank a full stomach of water, and was lying on the bank, throwing up, with his legs straight, feeling cold to the touch. Cool and cool, it seems that he has no consciousness at all.

So the root of the disease fell;

Although Chipin didn't seem to be talking to Luo Yan, but it was impossible for Luo Yan to do nothing when he said this.

He Jian naturally didn't have that wink. Seeing that the situation was urgent, he responded in a hurry and went out. After he opened the back door, he walked two steps, and was grabbed by Luo Yan from behind, and said coldly: "Master He has legs and feet." It's convenient, but just now, can you clean up the jade in the brocade box?"

He Jian has never been a master who has a clue and makes up his mind. When he panics, anyone who says anything is right, and it is a matter that he cares about. He was about to blurt out a question, but he thought that Lin Ying's matter was more important. , swallowed the words again, and only said: "I will look at it when I come back, Mr. Lin is still lying on the ground, looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable!"

Everyone said that love jade is like life, Luo Yan didn't want this trick to not work.I was taken aback for a moment, and when I saw him turn around, I yanked him again.

"My lord, what else is there for you? I heard from Chipin that he has Lord Lin in his heart, so he is not in a hurry for him at this moment, but he is still stopping me here. Why?"

He Jian had a look of unhappiness and impatience on his face, and a kind of contempt in his eyes.Luo Yan saw that it was difficult for him to communicate, so he directly grabbed a hemp rope at hand, pressed him on the red lacquered pillars under the eaves, and tied him two or three times. This official position is really suspected, and I don't even understand the meaning of the saying "a dog takes a mouse."

Chi Pin didn't know exactly when he left the house. After Luo Yan got his things ready, he found Lin Ying lying on the couch in the room, and he came late with big bags and small bags.

When he entered the room, Chi Pin didn't say much, he grabbed Luo Yan's neighbor and dragged him out of the room.

Luo Yan couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and he was really at a disadvantage on Chipin's side, so he didn't struggle or speak, and waited for the arrangement.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two feet stepped out of the threshold, the two doors were closed by Chipin with a bang.

He stood outside the door and hurriedly asked, "Master Chi, what does this mean?"

There was a lot of work inside, and there was the sound of objects being poured into the water. After a while, when he was about to break in the door, Chipin replied: "I don't care what your relationship is right now, and I don't care what you are in his heart." What kind of status is it, since you don't have the ability to take care of him, then please get out of here!"

He had already put his hands on the edge of the door, but he didn't take any further action after listening to the words. The most important thing right now was to solve Lin Ying's pain, and there was no time to talk about anything later.

Just waiting so quietly, waiting for the voice inside to calm down gradually, there was a whispering voice calling his name: "Qingshan...Qingshan..."

Luo Yan finally let go of his strained heart, and hurriedly opened the door and walked in.

The room was filled with mist, and there was a puffing heat. There was a screen behind the door. I went around and took a closer look. There were two naked figures in the wooden barrel behind the screen, like mandarin ducks crossing necks. Fit snugly together.

The face facing Luo Yan was exactly the same as late employment, with firm and sharp eyes, as if to stimulate him, he deliberately grabbed Lin Ying close to him.

It is conceivable that the person with his back to him is Lin Ying. Lin Ying rests his head limply on Chi Pin's shoulder, his face is slightly turned to his side, sweat beads can be seen on his forehead, The sound of breathing is slow but clearly audible.

"Have you seen, he has been so honest with me since many years ago. We are the most important people in each other's lives. He treated you like that before, but it was because of your kindness in saving him."

With a serious face, Chi Pin slowly covered Lin Ying's head with one hand, as if he was trying his best to make a bet with Luo Yan to get back something that belonged to him.

Lin Ying was in a daze, and wanted to struggle after hearing Chi Pin's words, but it was only a weak shaking, which was easily restrained by Chi Pin.

Luo Yan's face was flushed red, and he didn't have anything else to say. He clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the screen beside him. The fist was almost able to penetrate the one-foot-thick golden nanmu, and gently moved it away. When he came, his five fingers were blood red, but the wound did not open. Then he moved slowly and walked out of the door with difficulty. He prepared the car and drove away along the long street in front of the mansion.

After this incident, the atmosphere in Lin's residence became more and more strange.

Lin Ying didn't know how long she slept for. After waking up, she locked herself in the room alone without eating or drinking. Every day she only covered her head with a quilt and slept soundly. , Standing on the court hall, not asking about court affairs, looking around the hall, and seeing Luo Yan's figure, he just stood there with his head lowered in a daze.

He was very afraid in his heart, afraid that Luo Yan would easily give up on himself because of this incident, and would never have any contact with him again.

But he is a very cowardly master, and he dare not go to the Shangshu Mansion to explain all these misunderstandings to Luo Yan.

Because he couldn't think of a reason to go to explain himself, he obviously didn't agree to be with Luo Yan, and he really had such a thing with Chipin because of his illness, he really didn't know what he should say What, explain something.

On the other hand, Chi Pin knew in his heart that Lin Ying was angry with himself because of the incident that day, but he acted as if he had guessed that such a situation would happen, and he never cared about it every day. Nobu took the initiative to go forward to get close to Lin Ying, and when he saw the two of them, they ate whatever they wanted, and had fun whenever they wanted, as if nothing had happened.

The days passed in such an embarrassing way for more than half a month.Finally, an imperial list in the city broke the situation of Lin Fu.

Half a month ago, it was the night when Luo Yan left the mansion, the Governor of Shuntian Mansion received a case that someone salvaged a corpse from the moat.

The one who died was a man, his body was swollen and swollen, but he could still see clearly. He was the owner of a gambling house in the city.

This person has a lot of bad records, he is arrogant and domineering on weekdays, he has a lot of enemies, and there is very little evidence, so he has made no progress in half a month.

There was panic in the city, so the emperor made an imperial list to find anyone who could solve the case, and offered a reward of 200 taels of gold.

The person who unveiled the list was Ding Xiang, the girl next to Lin Ying.

The news was faster than horseshoes. When Luo Yan led Lilac and brought the imperial list to Lin's mansion, the three masters of the mansion had already stood in front of the door, bowing and saluting respectfully.

Luo Yan lifted the sedan chair curtain and came down to the ground, first took a look at Chi Pin, saw that he still had no good looks, then turned his gaze to Lin Ying, and immediately lowered his head after a glance, but soon found that there was something wrong with him. An atmosphere that is not quite right.

None of the three of them spoke yet, and He Jian who was on the side was still brooding over the feud that day.

Instead, he opened his mouth first, and asked in a nonchalant manner: "You have left, what are you doing today, the cook in the house is sick today, and there is no food for you!"

Luo Yan gave him a cold expression, his eyes were sharp like sword blades, which made him shut his mouth obediently immediately.

Walking in, Lin Ying only felt a little uncomfortable in his body, his palms were sweating unceasingly, he rubbed against his robe vigorously, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

But he still tried his best to pretend to be calm, and hurriedly asked: "It is rumored in the city that the emperor's list was lifted in the lower government. But... but you did it, Lord Shangshu?"

"Ok!"

Luo Yan did not shy away.

Lin Ying was a little surprised: "My lord has nothing to do with the Lin family, what's the reason for doing this?"
