Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 183 Doubt
When Lin Zisu returned to the capital from Shili Town, it was just after the end of time.

This time, Xie Xi stubbornly insisted on sitting in the carriage, but Lin Zisu agreed immediately without thinking too much.

This is the Lin family's carriage, and Lin Zisu is also a Yunying. Xie Xi's request to be in the same carriage is extremely rude.

Lve Ying expressed his dissatisfaction with Xie Xi's rude behavior.From Xie Xi's words to the moment he got into the carriage, Lve Ying gave Xie Xi countless supercilious looks.

The Lin family's carriage was just an ordinary carriage, and the horses used today were also very ordinary horses. Suddenly there was an extra person on the carriage, and it was very difficult to walk.

Xie Xi didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all, he leaned against the wall of the carriage, his face full of contentment.

A burst of faint fragrance lingered in Xie Xi's nose, which made him very happy. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the fragrance came from Lin Zisu or his own hallucination.

"Fourth brother, did you just let Cao Lang go on purpose?"

Lin Zisu felt that the way Xie Xi looked at her was abnormal, so she wanted to divert the topic from his staring at her, and asked, "Are you really unwilling to intervene in this matter?"

"I can't interfere with things here, and neither can you."

Xie Xi looked at Lin Zisu firmly, and said with a wry smile: "We can't take care of things here, but someone else has to take care of them. Let Cao and his son get a good deal, after all, Cao Lang is more reliable than that Fang Maochun." Some."

Lin Zisu understood what Xie Xi meant. Beidi's spies had been hiding in Shili Town for more than ten years, and they had used so many people to test the medicine. There must be a lot of people and things involved.

After more than ten years of operation, it suddenly disappeared in the capital. Just because of this, the forces behind it should not be underestimated.

Maybe, behind this, there will be some shadows of court officials.

The first to bear the brunt were the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The corpses of hundreds of people in the medicine field were horrific. No one could believe that so many people disappeared for no reason, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not get any news.

However, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not care.

The original Shangshu Tantaisong of the Ministry of Punishment originally came from the Tantai family in the capital, and later took refuge in King Wei.

I don't know whether this group of Beidi people got the protection of Tantai's family or King Wei's protection.

If Tantai's family communicates with foreign countries, it's not a big trouble, it's nothing more than uprooting Tantai's family; if King Wei and Beidi secretly communicate with each other, it's a big deal.

It sounds unbelievable that the majestic defender of the city secretly supports the enemy's spies.

If you think about it in this way, many things will suddenly become clear.The emperor was poisoned for no reason, an assassin suddenly appeared in the palace...

But is all this really so?

"That old man Wang, what's the problem?"

Lin Zisu was still thinking about the conspiracy hidden in the medicine field, when she heard Xie Xi's question, she immediately asked, "Your Highness, have you ever met a real farmer?"

Xie Xi grew up in the palace since he was a child, and he has only moved out of the palace for a few months now. The gang of cronies and friends are all princes of aristocratic families. How can he make friends with farmers?
Even if you meet a farmer on the street, you pass by in a hurry without ever looking directly at him.

Hearing Lin Zisu's question, Xie Xi was dumbfounded, not knowing what Lin Zisu meant.

Lin Zisu said with a smile: "There is a servant in our family, who is not very old. He used to work in the countryside. Later, he met him at the horse market. He went to our house and became my brother's long-term follower."

Except for Lve Ying, Xie Xi had no impression of the servants in Lin Zisu's house, so he didn't take it seriously at first, but Lin Zisu went on to say: "He is young, but he has done a lot of rough work. Last time When he helped my elder brother do carpentry, I saw that his fingers were stubby and strong, and his palms had a lot of calluses."

Hearing Lin Zisu gradually get into the details, Xie Xi narrowed his eyes.

"I've been to our family's Zhuangzi, and the farmers there are all like this. But that old man Wang, fourth brother, have you noticed his hands?"

Xie Xi shook his head very cooperatively, and said with a smile: "Susu, have you forgotten? Today I am your little follower, just follow your orders."

Lin Zisu glanced at him angrily, and said, "His fingers are long and slender, and he has nails. He doesn't look like someone who does heavy work. There are calluses on his hands, but they are not on the palm, but on the index finger and middle finger of his right hand." Finger pulp, this is not a farmer, but a scholar."

Xie Xi rubbed his palms, confirmed the details according to what Lin Zisu said, and approved Lin Zisu's words in his heart, but asked with a smile: "Aren't all farmers tall and big? I think he looks like that." , are not much different from the people in this town."

"We think he looks like a farmer, that's because he has dressed up. Farmers at his age are all stooped. How can there be such a straight waist like him?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Xi couldn't even find a reason to refute, and said embarrassingly: "Susu, you have a real eye, it's a pity not to enter the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Regarding Xie Xi's compliment, Lin Zisu did not buy it, and said: "What I said is just an afterthought. In fact, there is no need to say so much. That old man Wang's behavior was not normal from the beginning. He After such a long distance, I haven’t seen anything yet, how would I know that his son is buried in that medicine field?”

After Lin Zisu's analysis, Xie Xi nodded repeatedly.The two then chatted for a few more words, Xie Xi smiled and said: "This old man Wang, just leave it to me. Although I don't have Dongchang's methods, it is not difficult to teach him to speak."

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly bumped heavily. Lin Zisu's body was bumped up, her head hit the roof of the carriage heavily, and she yelled "Ah".

Caught off guard by this, Xie Xi ignored Lin Zisu's waist and took a step forward, regardless of the fact that she was still sitting still.With Xie Xi's help, Lin Zisu managed to sit still.

It was strange to say that after the carriage bumped for a while, it became stable again.Lin Zisu realized that she was too close to Xie Xi, and hurriedly broke free from Xie Xi's arms.

After this little episode, the hearts of both of them were pounding.Xie Xi was afraid that he would fall ill again, so he didn't dare to look at Lin Zisu again, so he opened the curtain and looked out of the car.

The two had their own concerns and forgot to discuss Shili Town.Then, there was nothing to say all the way until we reached the west of the city.

Outside the city, Xie Xi got out of the carriage and changed to riding a horse again.

Passing Lve Ying's side, taking advantage of her mistake just now, Xie Xi said angrily: "You girl, after all, you came from the Dian Palace, you are so frizzy, you can't even do small things like driving, why don't you go back and do something Done with chores, don't let your lady take you out again."
