Chen Zhao stopped him and said in a reproachful tone: "Why are you so flustered? Can't you just talk about it calmly?"
"It's bad, Chen Zuo Shi, the official who escorted the military pay committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment, and he also left a letter..." The secret guard lowered his head and said in a hurried tone.
"What did you say?" Chen Zhao's face changed, and he quickly stretched out his hand: "Where's the letter?"
"Here." The secret guard presented the letter with both hands.
Chen Zhao frowned as he opened the letter. He quickly glanced at it, his face becoming increasingly darker. He then looked at Lin Shuning and said, "Miss San, I'm afraid I can't take you back. I'll order my men to take you back."
"What happened?" Lin Shuning's face turned cold, and he felt that the situation was becoming more and more serious.
Chen Zhao was already anxious at this time, and he just said: "If Miss San wants to know, come in with me."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked into the house, and Lin Shuning followed him.
Jiang Yu was leaning on the bed at the moment, resting his eyes. After half a day of detoxification, he felt that his body was much more comfortable than before. Hearing the hurried footsteps coming in, he opened his eyes and looked at Chen Zhao with his narrow black eyes: "What happened?"
Chen Zhao presented the letter to Jiang Yu and said, "My Lord, something terrible has happened. The official who was escorting the military pay that we arrested a few days ago committed suicide in prison and left this letter. In the letter, he confessed his crime of embezzling the military pay, but he did not explain where the military pay was. This means that all the clues we were looking for a few days ago have been lost."
Jiang Yu's eyes were dark and deep, like a thousand-foot abyss with no visible bottom. He frowned slightly and said, "This matter is definitely not that simple. Send someone to investigate whether the official who committed suicide really committed suicide or was murdered. Whether the handwriting on the envelope really belonged to him or was written by someone else, you have to investigate all of this."
"Yes." Chen Zhao received the order and turned and left like the wind.
Lin Shuning and Jiang Yu were the only ones left in the room. Jiang Yu looked up at her and his voice softened: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm just curious about what you're investigating. It turns out you're investigating the military pay. But you'd better find some powerful coroners to help you with the autopsy, otherwise they won't be able to find out anything. After all, if this official was really murdered, then the person behind it must have made perfect preparations, and there are many poisons that ordinary coroners can't detect."
Lin Shuning said with a serious face.
Jiang Yu frowned: "In my intelligence network, I'm afraid I can't find the kind of coroner you mentioned in the capital at the moment."
"You can come to me," Lin Shuning smiled, his eyes glittering cunningly under the afterglow of the setting sun, "As long as the money is enough, I can help you make the trip, but you have to go with me, otherwise, I'm afraid someone will murder me."
After all, she had already taken on the hot potato of Jiang Yu, so what did a mere autopsy matter?
There was a gleam of light in Jiang Yu's eyes, and a barely perceptible curve appeared on his lips.
"Okay then. The king will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. You will go with me, but you must disguise yourself. It would be best if you were like... when you were in the clinic." Jiang Yu looked at her steadily, with a smile flashing across his eyes.
Lin Shuning naturally caught it, but she was not going to argue with him. After all, he was her super sponsor. She nodded and then held up a finger: "One thousand taels of silver, to help you, it's not too much, right?"
"It's not too much." Jiang Yu agreed immediately.
"That's settled then. I'll go back first. See you tomorrow~" Lin Shuning waved his hand, turned around and walked out. When he thought about the fact that he would receive another 1,200 taels of silver tomorrow, his steps became much lighter.
If she had known earlier that Jiang Yu was so wealthy, she would have clung to Captain Qian Feng's golden thigh a long time ago.
"…It's not too late now…"
Jiang Yu looked at her leaving back, uttered a few words softly, and raised his lips slightly with a faint smile.
His tightly furrowed brow had long since relaxed, and the iron chain that had been tightly locked around his heart for a long time had finally been removed. Now, he finally didn't have to use his mayfly strength to fight against the wheel of time. Those causes and effects were waiting for him to find the answers one by one, to hold them in his hands, and to pull darkness into light.
……
The next day, when Lin Shuning woke up, it was just daybreak. Perhaps because he was weighed down by something, he couldn't fall asleep even if he wanted to.
She tossed and turned for a long time, and finally gave up. She stood up, took out the medicine box, and put all the tools she would need today into it.
Finally, she did not forget to change into the old man's smock she had worn a few days ago, and combed her long highlighted hair into a bun. She darkened her face with the rouge she had remixed after summarizing her last experience, then opened the door and gently knocked on Lian'er's door.
When Lian'er opened the door sleepily, she saw a wretched old man standing in front of her door, grinning at her. She was so scared that she almost lost her soul and opened her mouth to scream.
Lin Shuning quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth: "Don't be afraid, it's me, your lady!"
Lian'er blinked and bit her hand.
Lin Shuning felt the pain and had to let her go. Then he heard a loud curse in his ear: "You shameless old man, you actually dared to pretend to be my young lady. You are so bold. Today I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my young lady!"
"Lian'er!"
Seeing that Lian'er was really going to take action, Lin Shuning quickly straightened his back and restored his original voice: "It's really me, take a good look."
Lian Er was startled when she heard this familiar voice. She looked at her suspiciously from head to toe for several times, and finally asked in surprise: "Miss, it's really you. What are you doing dressed like this?"
Lin Shuning smiled slyly and said mysteriously, "I, your young lady, am going to accomplish something big today."
From Lian'er's reaction, it can be seen that her dress today was superb. Even her personal maid who followed her every day did not notice it, let alone other people.
Lin Shuning went back into her room and waited for a while until she heard the signal of birds chirping outside the yard, then she quietly slipped out.
Chen Zhao was waiting for Lin Shuning at the door, but he didn't see her after waiting for a long time. Instead, he saw a hunchbacked old man walking out. He didn't care at first, but for some reason, the old man stood in front of him and stared at him.
"Hey, old man, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?" Chen Zhao couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily.
"Sure enough, you didn't realize it was me." Lin Shuning straightened her back and her confidence increased. She dared to guarantee that Jiang Yu would not recognize her this time.
A strange desire to win arises at this moment.
"Third Miss?!" Chen Zhao's eyes widened, his jaw almost dropped in shock, a look of disbelief on his face.
Lin Shuning patted his shoulder, stepped over him and got into the carriage, and asked, "Your Highness Prince Rui should have entered the palace for the morning court this morning, right? Did something happen again?"
Chen Zhao acted as the driver again. He pulled the reins and said, "It's because of those old people in the court. When they saw that the official committed suicide, they wanted to suspend or demote all the officials involved in this incident."
Lin Shuning frowned: "They want to get these officials down, and then take advantage of the chaos to arrange their own people to go up. Once these officials are replaced, all the clues will be gone. It seems that many people don't want your highness to investigate the truth of the matter."
"Yes," Chen Zhao sighed quietly, "Now the emperor is under pressure from the ministers and requires the master to close the case as soon as possible. Not only that, my master also received a threatening letter this morning."
