Your heart's desire

According to the regulations of the current dynasty, the crime of murder naturally has no way out.Killing for life is a matter of course, and it has been so since ancient times.

As a result, Lin Ying knew it well when he allowed Chihire to hire someone to go to Shuntian Mansion.

However, he never thought that for the first time, this cowardly and fearful Shuntian Fu Yin dared to follow his own pace and bet with the sky in this winter, and he would be executed ten days later.

The instant the messenger spoke with a smile, the cold stone platform on the execution ground, the slightest bonfire, the crowded crowd, and the executioner's broadsword reflecting the sunlight, all the scenes flashed up along the memory.

The only difference is that the person who was kneeling on the ground, bleeding like a river, but motionless, was replaced by Chi Pin.

With the knife in his hand, the living person who had been his classmate for several years could no longer speak a word.

There was a buzzing sound in Lin Ying's head, his eyes suddenly went dark, he didn't stand firm, he leaned back, fortunately Luo Yan's hands were behind his waist.

"Ten days……"

Lin Ying murmured softly, thinking carefully and fearing.

When he looked up, he saw that the person beside him was still standing, Luo Yan hurriedly took out an ingot of silver from his arms and stuffed it into his arms, frowning and beckoning him to leave.

At that time, Ding Xiang brought the prepared breakfast to the front hall, put it on the square table in the inner hall as usual, and came over to call people, when she got closer, she saw that Lin Ying seemed not in good spirits, and she was concerned: "What's the matter, my lord? "

Lin Ying squinted her eyes and shook her head, signaling her not to worry.Just about to get rid of Luo Yan's support, he walked slowly into the hall by himself.

Luo Yan saw that his hands were not heavy, and that he was very resistant to him, his domineering thoughts were aroused in an instant, and he was very rudely put on his shoulders, and he put his whole body in his arms: "Why? It's going to be fine, let's just rest!"

He was about to take two steps, thinking about what happened just now, and afraid of seeing what he heard in the house just now, he hurriedly ordered Lilac to go forward: "He is fine, as long as he is an official, you go first Go and see if Mr. He is up, if he is up, send him over."

Ding Xiang was taken aback by his actions, she was still in a daze, suddenly heard him talking to her, nodded in a daze, turned around with a face of surprise, and didn't react for a long time.

There was a wind blowing in the courtyard, and the willow branches under the eaves swayed wildly with the wind, making deep noises, and the soft branches floating softly underneath made the atmosphere even more lonely.

The sky above the head is not very good. Looking down, people can't even reflect their shadows. There was a whirlwind on the ground that hadn't been cleaned in the early morning, and a thin layer of dust was blown up.

To the door of the side hall, she gently knocked on the door but there was no answer, so she opened the door carefully and looked in through a gap, but Lilac girl didn't see half a star in the empty room.

Gritting his teeth, he boldly pushed the door open, and said into the room: "Master He?"

In the silent room, there was only an echo and the click of his soles falling slowly on the ground.When I got closer and touched it, the mattress on the couch was completely cold.

Lin Ying was about to sit down here, and finally took a few breaths, before tears fell down.

Luo Yan turned around and looked around, wanting to know what was going on with He Jian, but he saw Ding Xiang rushing towards him, standing outside the door and saying: "Returning to Sir, Master He is no longer in the house, it should be early in the morning went out."

In the room, Lin Ying raised his hand to pour a cup of tea, but after hearing this sentence, there was a bang, and the porcelain cup fell to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.

"what……"

He didn't care about anything else, he got up and wanted to run towards the door, but Luo Yan hugged him into his arms: "Lin Weizhi, what are you going to do?"

"Why don't you say you can't guess where he went. This matter should come to an end, and there can be no further trouble! He is over eighteen and has no right to be naive anymore. He should grow up!"

Lin Ying opened his eyes as hard as he could, with red blood all over them. He raised his hands over his shoulders, almost screaming. After speaking, he felt his heart tremble. He didn't know whether he was talking about what he saw or about himself.

Luo Yan saw tears welling up in his eyes, and then slowly loosened his hands. Although he didn't know what else Lin Ying could do, he suddenly couldn't bear him to continue to be sad.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about the rest, I'll take care of it!"

He spoke softly and smiled softly, Lin Ying couldn't hold back anymore, big tears dripped down from his eyes.

He stepped from Luo Yan's side and just walked to the gate of the mansion. When he took a closer look, he saw a woman in plain clothes standing outside the gate, elegant and lonely.

"Miss Qinxiang..."

Just now, the sadness in his heart was relieved by the long and not short road at the door. He stood under the eaves and wiped away his tears. When he raised his eyes, he immediately recognized the man.

Qin Xiang bowed and hurriedly saluted: "Master Lin!"

Lin Ying went down the steps, leaned close to her, straightened his clothes, wiped away the tears on his face, and made a puzzled expression: "Why did the girl come here, but something happened and I need my help , I have already heard about the girl's great kindness to Youyan, if the girl is in trouble, she can speak up, Lin Ying will definitely not stand by and watch."

The dense clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, and the sky is getting darker and darker.The sultry cold wind raised the lapel of Qinxiang's blouse, she stretched out her hands to press it, with a face of embarrassment, after thinking for a long time, she suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"My lord, help..."

The outside is no better than the house, if you stay on the ground for a while, you will definitely have some problems.Lin Ying hurriedly supported her, frowned, but heard Luo Yan's voice behind him: "What happened?"

Just standing there, Qin Xiang snotted her nose and burst into tears, unexpectedly, what she was talking about was still about the murder in the moat.

"Master Lin is the master, the slave family is here to plead guilty today. The man was killed by the slave family, and Mr. Chi is just to take the blame for the slave family."

Things have changed a lot, and now another person confesses, Lin Ying's head is suddenly very confused.

Luo Yan was quite indifferent as a bystander, his face suddenly wrinkled, and he suddenly realized that the first clue was found in her room, and after being disturbed by the late hire, no one thought about it again, the murderer may still be possible It was the woman in front of her.

"Do you have evidence?"

"The mother in the building can testify that when Mr. Chi came, he was already dead!"

She was decisive in her words, whether it was because she made a confession in advance to exonerate Chipin, or she was really guilty.At this moment, she had only one thought, which was to keep the late hire.

"Then why see him..."

Lin Ying thought for a while, and logically said that although the case has been sentenced, the execution is still a few days away. With Luo Yan's face, it is easy to overturn the new trial.It's just that I suddenly thought of what to see.

The two looked at each other, with anxiety suddenly appearing on their faces.He hurriedly recruited the steward to lead the horse, and the three of them got into the car and rushed out along the street.

When we arrived at Shuntian Mansion, we got off the sedan chair and looked towards the sky in the northwest, the black clouds overwhelmed the city, and we felt oppressed and cramped.

Looking up, he seemed to be able to feel the dots of raindrops falling down, hitting his face, icy cold to the bones.

Lin Ying only felt a thump in his heart, and it actually started to rain in this cold winter.

Then, the Shun Tian Fu Yin, who has always been looking for convenience, will bring the date of execution to the front, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but tremble with fear, seeing him in a daze behind, Luo Yan hurriedly hugged him to get off the sedan chair, pulled his clothes and ran towards the gate.

The two big mahogany doors of Shuntian Mansion covered with bright yellow door nails are half open, the animal face rings are very majestic, the eaves are full of spirit beasts, and the mountains are towering green. casting platform.The momentum is grand, like a dragon flying high, with golden light shining.

There were two guards standing in front of the door. They climbed up the stone steps in front of the courtyard to the stone platform with a height of one person, but they were blocked by those two guards with their swords.

"Who is trespassing!"

Luo Yan stood at the front, saw that the two young men were very rude, and was about to make a fist, Lin Ying hurriedly pulled from behind, whispering: "Don't make trouble, we are here to calm things down!"

Then he grinned, very respectfully: "Qing Lin of Dali Temple should see me, please let me know!"

Hearing what he said, Luo Yan turned his body to the side impatiently. After carefully looking around the mansion, he couldn't help but click his tongue. To be able to match the grandeur of the Taifu's mansion, I couldn't help but smile wryly.

It seems that the emperor is really a blind man. He has spent all these years on the Luo family. It is really ridiculous that even such a mediocre rat can climb down to his current position.

The man by the door cast a low glance at Lin Ying, and then entered the door with great disdain.

Lin Ying lifted his eyes following his movements, and looked into the mansion, and saw three or two people walking out along the long street from the door.

"Master Lin!"

The gatekeeper bowed and saluted, and a potbellied master came out to greet him anxiously, followed by several guards with knives.

Glancing at Luo Yan next to him, he became even more respectful, his voice softened, and he called out, "Master Shangshu!"

Luo Yan didn't have a good look at him, and he was very sensible and stopped leaning forward, swallowed and only talked to Lin Ying: "Master Lin just happened to come, something happened in my house!"

Lin Ying was taken aback, faintly feeling that something was wrong, turned around and looked at Luo Yan, a heart on his chest immediately twitched.

After taking a long breath, he dared to ask, "What happened?"

"The murderer you sent to plead guilty was robbed early this morning!"

He said that the whole body stretched completely, almost sitting on the ground, Lin Ying wrinkled his face, and was stunned for a while, and heard Qin Xiang behind him: "What!"
