After dressing as a widow

Just barely parrying the siege of four people, protecting Lin Zhen, Zhou Zhengchu looked at the scene in front of him, and his back felt a little chilly.

After meeting him face to face, he knew that the weak-looking scholar in front of him was far better than himself in martial arts, and there was definitely a lot of blood on his hands. When ordinary soldiers killed people, they couldn't show his calm expression and heartbeat.

It seems that what was killed was not a human being, not even a chicken or a dog.

Gu Lin didn't look at him, and went straight to Lin Zhen, put one hand under Lin Zhen's shoulder and the other through his knees, picked him up, and put him on the bed: "Go ask the doctor."

"Yes." The two yamen servants who came with him were also stunned.

Lord Zhizhou has never shown any signs of martial arts. Most of the time in the Yamen, he is dressed in scarlet official robes and long robes and hats. Apart from being colder, he is more handsome. He looks like a civil servant.

But the scene just now played back over and over again in the minds of the two of them. Is that a civil servant?The military attache didn't kill him as quickly as he did.

The skins of the two yamen servants tensed up all of a sudden, and they went outside to find the doctor.

But the pace is slow, I don't know why the county magistrate who came to visit suddenly couldn't keep up with Gu Lin's pace, and came here more than ten steps late.

He hurriedly walked outside, and looked at the servants in his state capital with inexplicable eyes, not understanding what happened.

But when he thought that he and his wife had treated Lin Zhen well in the past few days, and Master Zhizhou was so fond of this uncle, he went straight to Lin Zhen's residence as soon as he came, rubbing his hands impatiently.

Promotion only depends on the present!

The county magistrate walked up the steps with a smile all over his face. Just as he reached the door of Lin Zhen's house, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The room was in a mess. A tall man was nailed to the pillar by a long sword. Judging by the length of the sword left outside, a long part did not enter the pillar, which showed how strong the murderer was.

And there were four corpses on the ground, the head closest to him was the head of an old woman, her eyes were wide open facing his direction.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

Zhou Zhengchu looked at Gu Lin who put Lin Zhen on the bed, and realized that this was the nephew of their boss, the governor of Lizhou.

He stopped the screaming of the magistrate of Dongyang County, and said: "Master Zhizhou is in the house."

Coming with the county magistrate, the county government servant who was also terrified by the scene in front of him quickly called the county magistrate back to his senses.

The county magistrate, whose scalp was numb from fright, covered his mouth and pointed tremblingly into the room: "Zhizhou... Lord Zhizhou is inside..."

At this moment, he regained a bit of reason from his panic, thinking that his panicked appearance just now was seen by the Lord Zhizhou, and he might leave a bad impression. County magistrate Wang hurriedly straightened his robes and walked in respectfully. .

The blood all over the ground exudes a disgusting strong bloody smell. The county magistrate looked at Gu Lin who had met once before, and knelt on the ground with his official robes: "I am the county magistrate of Dongyang County, see the magistrate."

Gu Lin sat on the edge of the bed, putting her hands on Lin Zhen's face.

Lin Zhen was conscious, but he didn't have any strength in his body, and it was difficult to move his eyelids, let alone speak.

He looked at Gu Lin, turned around, and indicated that he was not uncomfortable.

But Gu Lin still maintained this posture, but said in a gloomy voice: "Magistrate of Dongyang County, Wang Ze."

County Magistrate Wang's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he knelt on the ground: "Yes."

"When did the five gangsters enter the county government office?"

"Sir..."

"How did they get in?"

"Sir..."

"I don't know," Gu Lin stood up, looking down at him with condescending dark eyes, "Even if you don't know what to do next to your couch, then you know what's going on in Dongyang County."

"Your Excellency, the lower official deserves to die. I will investigate this matter thoroughly now, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

As the magistrate of Lizhou, Gu Lin has the right to recall county magistrates everywhere, and he only needs to write a note and explain why to the Ministry of Officials in the capital.

Just now, he was still dreaming of getting a good face in front of Gu Lin, but at this moment, County Magistrate Wang, who is only one line away from taking off his official hat, still feels like he is dreaming.

a nightmare.

Gu Lin looked at him: "Pry open this person's mouth and block the river mouth. These people ganged up to commit crimes, and there must be other accomplices in the future."

"Yes, the next officer will do it now." Hearing that Gu Lin told him to do something, County Magistrate Wang scrambled and walked out as if he had been pulled from the fire, and the official hat on his head almost fell to the ground.

Suddenly, Zhou Zhengchu, who had been stabbed twice, said: "Master Zhizhou, Boss Lin's misfortune this time has a lot to do with the aunt named Chen in the county magistrate's back house."

Zhou Zhengchu brought the concubine here to talk to Lin Zhen with three or two sentences. First, he sent Shao Ying away on the grounds of taking medicine for the child, and then something happened after Lin Zhen ate the candy given by the child. The five gangsters appeared Make things clear.

The only suspicious point here is that the child's illness does not seem to be a fake. Could it be that the concubine even killed her own child in order to harm Lin Zhen.

When the magistrate Wang at the side heard him talking about his concubine, he subconsciously wanted to say it was impossible, especially since the two children were involved.

But County Magistrate Wang knew very well that there was no need for Zhou Zhengchu to make up these lies. He remembered Lin Zhen's face when his concubine asked him about Lin Zhen's identity and he said that he was the uncle of Lord Zhizhou.

She didn't believe it.

Even like the girls and brothers who were sent by the people below, they looked like they wanted to get people out.

Magistrate Wang felt that his body kept falling, his head was blank and confused, and he couldn't find any thoughts.

The official hat on Wang County Magistrate's head finally failed and fell to the ground.

He looked at the official hat he had worn on his head for many years on the ground, then looked at Gu Lin with heavy eyes, picked up the official hat with trembling hands, put it on his head, and even wore it crookedly to the horizon I didn't know where to go, so I asked the government servant to take the gangster who was still a little angry and had dark red blood dripping from his mouth, and ran to Aunt Chen's yard like a run.

Sending the child back to the aunt's yard, she was entangled so much that she became suspicious. Shao Ying hurried over here, looked at County Magistrate Wang who seemed to be being chased by a ghost, and hurried into the yard where Lin Zhen lived. The four of them and the injured Zhou Zhengchu hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou, where is the boss, what happened?"

Before Zhou Zhengchu had time to answer him, the yamen servant who went outside to look for the doctor almost brought the doctor in and put him in front of the bed: "My lord, the doctor brought it."

"Oh, my old bones, two officials, where did you take me?" The doctor had a gray beard, was short and fat, his eyes seemed a little dim, and he blinked hard to look around.

After seeing the surrounding decorations and two government servants in official robes calling Gu Lin to be an adult, he stood up straighter.

Gu Lin moved away, revealing Lin Zhen who was lying on the bed behind him: "Doctor, take a closer look, my uncle has been poisoned by a drug that makes him weak, and it will be life-threatening."

When the two yamen servants went out to find the doctor, they specifically asked a few people. They heard that this person's medical skills were very famous in Dongyang County, so they brought him out of the clinic.

And this old doctor who is well-known in Dongyang County and has a bad temper doesn't always stiffen his neck. Seeing Lin Zhen lying on the bed and Gu Lin, who looks like a teenager but has a good momentum, walked to The bedside looked Lin Zhen up and down first.

"Can Fu Lang hear what the old man said?" he asked.

Lin Zhen rolled his eyes, indicating that he could hear it.

The old doctor nodded, twirled his beard, checked Lin Zhen's eyes, limbs, and observed his breathing, then turned around and said to Gu Lin: "It's okay, husband, I should be taking the flowers on the market. Ruanjin powder that can be bought for a few dollars, the effect of this drug comes quickly, and the user will lose all his strength in a short time, but as long as he is fed a few more bowls of water, he will recover quickly."

Gu Lin looked at Lin Zhen, and then at him again.

The doctor said: "I have practiced medicine for many years, so I can't judge wrongly. In Dongyang County, there are quite a few people from different schools of thought, and there are also many people who buy Ruanjin powder. I have seen such symptoms many times."

Only then did Gu Lin look away from him, and said to the yamen servant: "Send the doctor back."

"Let someone clean up the house."

Except for the gangster who was kicked by him and was still breathing a little, the bodies of the other four were still lying on the ground, maintaining their dead appearance.

The yamen servant and Shao Ying started to get the corpse out with a soft noise.

……

Lin Zhen, who was lying on the bed unable to move, looked at Gu Lin and blinked hard.

Gu Lin got up and went to the table to bring over the still warm tea, holding the kettle with the other hand, poured a full cup and sat on the edge of the bed, helped Lin Zhen up to lean against his chest with one hand, and put the cup in his mouth with the other side.

Lin Zhen also heard what the doctor said. If he wants to relieve his current symptoms, he just needs to drink more water, so he sucked the water into his mouth with great effort.

But that Laoshizi's Ruanjinsan was so overbearing that he didn't even have the strength to hold the water glass in his mouth, and he didn't drink anything except his chin after a few swipes.

Seeing his embarrassment, Gu Rin was stretched out to his chin by the hand that was leaning on his little side, his thumb and index finger and middle finger caught his jaw and raised slightly, and poured the water in the glass little by little.

Lin Zhen, who didn't have much strength to swallow, took a while to finish a pot of tea. He drank so much that he could feel that there was no gap in his stomach due to the water.

He blinked and asked Gu Lin to put himself back on the bed.

Gu Lin wiped the water from his lips with his finger. Just now he was worried that Lin Zhen had been poisoned to death and that something would happen to Lin Zhen, so he handed over the investigation to County Magistrate Wang.

Now that Lin Zhen's life is not in danger, he said to Lin Zhen: "Uncle Lin, rest first, and I will return after I have dealt with this matter."

For those who tried to reach out to Lin Zhen, he had to cut off their hands with his own hands.

Naturally, Lin Zhen had no reason to stop him, and turned his eyes to signal that he knew, and let him rest assured.

Gu Lin withdrew his hand from Lin Zhen's lips, letting Shao Ying, who was not injured, and the two yamen servants watch over Lin Zhen, and walked out of the yard alone.
