The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 184 Reminder
Xie Xi first ordered the imperial army to return to the camp, and then ignored Lin Zisu's refusal, and escorted Lin Zisu back to the East City on horseback, and then took the old man back to his ten-king mansion.

It wasn't too late for Lin Zisu to go home, but he didn't expect that his father Lin Yuanzhi stayed in the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment and did not return all night.

At dusk, the people in the yamen sent a message to Uncle Kang Ning's house, saying that Master Lin had a major case to deal with, and he was afraid that he would spend the night in the yamen.

Bi quickly ordered his servants to prepare food and sent it to the yamen.She was worried all night in the backyard, and Lin Yuanzhi still didn't come back from the yamen early the next morning.

Kang Ningbo's mansion delivered food to Lin Yuanzhi for two consecutive days, and it was not until noon on the third day that Lin Yuanzhi hurried back home.

When Lin Yuanzhi arrived at home, he didn't care about eating, so he ordered someone to call Lin Zisu from the backyard to the outer study.

When Lin Yuanzhi saw his daughter, he asked straight to the point, "Sister, what do you think about the case in Shili Town?"

When Lin Zisu heard what Lin Yuanzhi said, it was obvious that Cao Lang had told his father about his time in Shili Town.

This case came second. I don't know if my father knew that I was with Xie Xi that day. If my father knew about his relationship with Xie Xi, I don't know what he would think.

She looked at her father with probing eyes, feeling a little grateful in her heart.Lin Yuanzhi then said, "I heard that you were traveling with His Highness King Dun, what did His Highness King Dun say?"

Lin Zisu's mind thumped, and she didn't know how to reply to her father.Fortunately, Lin Yuanzhi didn't get entangled in Xie Xi, and said to himself: "This time, I made a big hole in the sky."

After Lin Zisu and Xie Xi returned to the capital that day, Cao Lang arranged Jinyiwei to conduct a strict search in Shili Town, and found more than 300 corpses from the ground that day.

In addition to these unknown corpses and patches of poisonous herb fields, Jin Yiwei also found a large number of ledgers and poisons for testing poisons from the ground.

The news was sent to the palace in the evening. After the emperor saw Cao Lang's report, Longyan was furious, and immediately summoned officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to the Jiyi Hall.

According to the investigation clues, the group of people in Shili Town came from Beidi, and they have been entrenched in Shili Town for more than ten years.

In an important place in Gyeonggi, spies from the enemy country built a place to test drugs, and hundreds of people were used to test drugs, but the court didn't know about it.

The emperor immediately issued a death order, and Jin Yiwei and Sanfa Division had to solve the case within five days. Those Beidi people in Shili Town wanted to see people when they were alive, and they wanted to see corpses when they died.

During these two days, Lin Yuanzhi traveled between Shili Town and the capital with Cao Lang, and he was extremely busy.

Two days of hard work, it can't be said that there is no gain, I got some clues, but after all, it is difficult to justify myself.

Besides, I heard from the people in the town that this group of people had already left Shili Town more than half a month ago. Based on the time, they probably got the news and returned to Beidi. Yu Yuanmu seeks fish.

When Lin Yuanzhi was full of sorrow, he was looking through the files in the yamen late last night, and Cao Lang sent someone to call him out to make some remarks.

The people who went there told him that Lin Zisu happened to pass by Shili Town that day and had seen and heard about it. If Lin Yuanzhi had any doubts, he could go home and ask Lin Zisu for his opinion.

Lin Yuanzhi didn't know about Lin Zisu's experience in Shili Town, but since Cao Lang did it on purpose, he definitely wouldn't be aimless.

He was in the yamen today, he explained the affairs in hand to his subordinates, and hurried back home in a hurry.

Ever since he learned about Lin Zisu's so-called "possession", and later Zheng Mochen's theory of "destiny", although Lin Yuanzhi didn't quite believe it.But when facing his own daughter, Lin Yuanzhi's mentality also changed a little.

Although Lin Yuanzhi claimed to be "enlightened" and indulged more in his children than restrained him, he still spent a lot of effort on his daughter.

In the past, when he talked to his daughter, he just had to say it, but now he has to weigh how to say it.

For example, seeing his daughter bowing her head in deep thought, Lin Yuanzhi was anxious, but he didn't urge her, just waiting for Lin Zisu to speak.

However, what Lin Zisu thought was not what Lin Yuanzhi had just asked. What she thought was, if her father found out that she was traveling with Xie Xi, should she find an excuse to hide it, or should she take the initiative to admit the relationship?
The father and daughter confronted each other for half a cup of tea before Lin Zisu tentatively said, "My daughter was indeed passing through Shili Town that day, and found that the medicine fields were a bit strange, so she asked Mr. Fang and Dong Dong from Jingzhao Mansion. The little father-in-law Cao from the factory went over..."

Lin Zisu briefly told Lin Yuanzhi what happened that day, but she was still wondering whether she should also briefly tell Xie Xi.

Lin Yuanzhi listened patiently to his daughter's reply, and asked, "I heard from Cao Lang's people that His Royal Highness Dun Wang brought that old man back to the capital, did he ask anything?"

In fact, when Lin Yuanzhi asked this question, he weighed it for a long time.The person who sent him a message last night specifically mentioned this "Old Man Wang" as a key witness in the case, but Xie Xi brought him back to the Ten Kings' Mansion.

Lin Yuanzhi hadn't reacted yet, and he didn't understand why Cao Lang asked him to go home to ask his daughter about the ten princes' mansion.

He just wanted to give it a try, to see if his daughter knew what Cao Lang meant, and only heard Lin Zisu ask: "Father, did you mean what you just asked, or did you mean little Eunuch Cao?" ?”

Lin Yuanzhi was startled immediately, not understanding why his daughter would ask such a question, and replied casually: "Cao Lang sent someone to remind me last night, saying that this old man Wang is the key person in this case, but they dare not offend King Dun Your Highness, I have to ask you..."

Speaking of this, Lin Yuanzhi thought that something was wrong. Why did the matter of Dun Wang Xiexi fall on his own daughter?
What's more, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have always been unscrupulous, besides the emperor, would they be afraid of this Xie Xi?
Facing his father's suspicious gaze, Lin Zisu decided to tell a lie first. After all, apart from the verbal promise, he and Xie Xi had nothing to do with each other.

"In fact, my daughter can guess the general idea of ​​Eunuch Cao's thoughts. I have treated His Highness King Dun, and His Highness has always been grateful. Now that my father is working hard on the case, Eunuch Cao guesses that His Highness will reveal a thing or two to his daughter in order to repay his kindness." Bar."

Lin Yuanzhi approved Lin Zisu's explanation, nodded and said, "You are right, but Cao Lang guessed wrong this time. If King Dun has any clues about such important matters, he can go directly to see His Majesty. As long as the case If it’s broken, it’s helping me, so why go around a long way to sell favors to you?”
