Prince Regent's Concubine

According to the rules of the Lin family, if it wasn't for Ling He's family standing in front of him, Ling Qingshi couldn't help but suspect that it was the shopkeeper below who plotted against the master's family to kill him.

After asking all kinds of things from Lin Xun, Ling Qingshi directly took the two of them out. Now that so many people in the Lin family have been taken away, their whereabouts are unknown, and it is very likely that the official of Kaiyang County also has problems. Xiao Chuyi needs to arrange someone to support him.

Ling Qingshi handed over the task of delivering the letter to Bai Xue, and Bai Xue followed Xiao Chuyi all the time, knowing how to contact people, Ling Qingshi looked at Bai Xue's leaving back, his eyes were dark, and he said silently in his heart, Ling He's last It's a good thing that his subordinates are only allowed to arrest people instead of killing people, otherwise, he can't help but kill everyone in the Ling family.

Then, Ling Qingshi asked Duobao to guard his mother and Lin Xun, "Stay here and don't go out. I'll go to the next door to check and I'll be back soon."

Ling Qingshi's eyes turned back and forth on the three of them, and finally handed over the heavy responsibility to Lin Xun, "Take care of them," he said without giving Lin Xun any reaction, and went up to the roof lightly, and when he looked again, People have disappeared.

Ling Qingshi didn't introduce Lin Xun's identity to Duobao, but when he heard that Ling Qingshi asked him to protect him and Lin Yu, Duobao was full of doubts, "Ma'am, this is?"

Lin Yu told Duobao about Lin Xun's identity. When Duobao heard that he was the young master of the Lin family, he quickly saluted him, but he was still puzzled, "Ma'am, Master Lin Xun is still a child, how can the young master ask him to protect us?" .”

Hearing what he said, Lin Yu reached out and touched Lin Xun's head, "Qing'er said that because Xun'er is a smart boy."

Duobao scratched his head, feeling embarrassed, "It's all because I'm so useless, I can't help at all, and I still need young master Lin Xun to protect me."

"Duobao is also a smart kid. You can do what you can do by yourself. You and Xun'er just know how to do it differently." Lin Yu said, and changed the subject again, "Qing'er said that the smell of blood in this courtyard has been dealt with. Let's look around the yard to see if we can find any clues."

……

Ling Qingshi entered the house of the county magistrate next door, only to find that there were only a few servants doing cleaning work in the whole house, and the whole house was empty and deserted.

The servants at work didn't communicate at all, and they acted as if they didn't see each other when they saw each other, like strangers who didn't know each other at all.

Unable to find any information from these servants, Ling Qingshi chose a room that looked like a study and sneaked in. The room was neatly arranged, with books lined up in rows, but apparently no one had entered it for a while. Yes, the table is covered with ashes.

Ling Qingshi didn't turn over the books and letters, but walked slowly around the room to observe, and only reached out to check if there was any mechanism or any documents around when he saw a place where there was no dust.

It didn't take long for him to get two account books and two letters. There was also a secret passage in this room, and he didn't know what was hidden in it. Ling Qingshi found the mechanism, but failed to enter.

In addition to the study room, Ling Qingshi went into a few more rooms and found some things, but Ling Qingshi didn't understand them very well, because the letters were sent to and from different parties, including Ling He, Marquis of Anning, and Duke Qin. , and there was another one, although he didn't mention his name, but Ling Qingshi had an intuition that he was from Zhi'er's side.

A small county magistrate has contacts with so many important figures, and all of them let the county magistrate do things for them. Ling Qingshi didn't know for a while whether it was the county magistrate's good tricks or the people who asked him to do things had no brains. , I didn't find out that he still had contacts with other people.

Ling Qingshi took the letter and ledger back to the Lin family next door.

The three of Lin Yu also gained something. After walking around the yard for a few times, they found a few herbal medicine bags, and there was a lot of blood near the place where the herbal medicine bags were placed. This was obviously what Ling Qingshi said was used to suppress the smell of blood. of herbs.

Lin Yu handed the herbal package to Ling Qingshi to read. Ling Qingshi couldn't read all the herbs inside, but he could tell from this that some people didn't want more people to know about the Lin family for the time being.

Judging from the few letters he found next door just now, Ling Qingshi felt that Ling He was not the only one writing this time. If you don't have a picture, you don't know.

"Put these herb packs away first and put them in a pile," Ling Qingshi pulled Lin Xun over, "Let me ask you, in Kaiyang County, is the county magistrate or the county magistrate usually in charge?"

It's really embarrassing to ask a child this kind of thing, but now only Lin Xun can ask, and Ling Qingshi can't help it.

Fortunately, Lin Xun knew a lot, he said: "The county magistrate is getting old, and many things in the county are handled by the county magistrate, and father and the others often say that they need to establish a good relationship with the county magistrate."

Ling Qingshi understood that this Kaiyang County was almost dominated by the county magistrate. He recalled the map of Dachu Kantu he had seen at the Prince Regent's Mansion, and found that Kaiyang County was a good place, and the roads to Kaiyang were all in all directions, but If you want to go to the capital, you must pass through Kaiyang, especially those who want to do something. If you can control Kaiyang County, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Besides, there should be some other secrets hidden in Kaiyang County, otherwise it wouldn't attract so many people's attention.

Ling Qingshi asked Lin Xun again, "Do you know where the magistrate lives?"

Lin Xun nodded, "I know. Grandpa took me to the county magistrate's house to play. I and the county magistrate's grandson are classmates."

"Then you come with me, mother, you stay here and don't move," Ling Qingshi mentioned Lin Xun and walked out.

Lin Xun, who was being carried like a chicken, felt too comfortable, but he didn't dare to raise conditions with Ling Qingshi, so he was taken out of the door obediently.

And Ling Qingshi noticed that someone was staring at the Lin family almost the moment he left the house. Ling Qingshi was sure instantly that the accident in the Lin family was not just Ling He's fault, because Ling He wanted to use the Lin family to threaten him, so there was no need to be there. Then send someone to watch the Lin family's house.

So is there some secret hidden in the Lin family's house or is it someone who is waiting to come to this house to find the secret?

Ling Qingshi didn't take Lin Xun back either, he didn't want the other party to know that he had discovered them for the time being, so I went to the county magistrate's house as originally planned.

Ling Qingshi entered the county magistrate's house openly and honestly, because it was Lin Xun who came to play with the magistrate's grandson, and the servants didn't think it was strange, so they let him in after reporting.

When Ling Qing entered the door, he asked Lin Xun, "You should be in school at this time, right?"

Lin Xun looked at the sky, counted the time for rest, and nodded, "That's right, so Xu Tian should be in the school."

The reason was not valid, but they entered the door. Obviously, the county magistrate had calculated that they would come, or was waiting for them on purpose.

When they arrived at the meeting place, they were greeted with the words, "You guys are still here."
