Queen's Development

Chapter 73 Dreams
Lin Jia handed over this new case to He Lianshan.

He Lianshan was very quick in his work, he took the head of the county yamen, the assistant and the secretary, ordered a few yamen servants, and set off.

It was not until two days later that He Lianshan came back in a hurry.

He knew that Lin Jia was concerned about this matter, so he didn't have time to change clothes and take a shower, so he went to the foreign study with a stack of files to meet Lin Jia.

Curious in her heart, Yu Zhi hurriedly brewed a pot of Que Tong tea and sent it to He Lian Shan and Lin Jia, taking the opportunity to stand behind Lin Jia and listen.

He Lianshan knew that Lin Jiasu's letter attached great importance to Yuzhi, so she continued as if she hadn't seen Yuzhi, "...My lord, please read the case file first, and then I will talk to you after reading it!"

Yu Zhi followed Lin Jia to read it, and found that the four cases were all missing girls.

Lin Jia read the book very fast, she read ten lines at a glance, worried that Yuzhi hadn't finished it, so she turned her head and asked Yuzhi, "Have you finished it?"

Yuzhi nodded and said, "I've finished reading it!"

Lin Jia wanted to cultivate Yu Zhi, so she asked, "What did you see?"

Yuzhi raised her head and thought for a while, organized her words, and said slowly: "First, the ages of these four girls are all between 12 and 17 years old; second, according to the testimony of relatives and neighbors, these four girls Girls are all beautiful; third, the informants of these four cases, one is the girl's uncle, one is the girl's aunt, one is the girl's neighbor boy, and the other is the girl's girlfriend, none of them The girl's parents, brothers, etc.; fourth, these four villages are all within the sphere of influence of the Salvation Cult."

After that, she looked at Lin Jia with a smile, and looked at He Lianshan again.

He Lianshan didn't expect Yuzhi to read it so quickly and come to a conclusion so quickly, and immediately looked at Lin Jia: "My lord, Miss Yuzhi said what I wanted to say!"

Lin Jia and You Rongyan took a look at Yu Zhi, and told Ah Qing with a smile: "Go to the back and ask Mr. Hu to come over!"

Hu Yingzhi is now following Dr. Liu to treat his illness, and the two little servants beside him, Kunpeng and Xiongying, went to inquire about the news of the Salvation Sect but never returned, but he lived safely in the small courtyard behind the outer study.

Lin Jia felt that the case seemed to be related to the Salvation Cult, so she called Hu Yingzhi over to discuss it.

After Hu Yingzhi came over, Lin Jia, Hu Yingzhi and He Lianshan began to discuss.

Yuzhi was serving tea at the side.

Lin Jia has never been a long-winded person, so she quickly came to a conclusion: the victims in this case should be far greater than the four, and it should be that the Salvation Sect collected beautiful girls from the family members of the congregation and sent them to Korea.

After coming to a conclusion, Lin Jia planned to take Hu Yingzhi to the Haiphong camp to see Marshal Gui, and asked Marshal Gui to come in and strengthen the sea patrol, in case the Salvation Sect sent the girls to Korea by boat.

The coastal defense on this side of the Yellow Sea has always been in charge of the army of the famous general Gui Ruyu.

Everyone called Gui Ruyu Grand Marshal Gui or Marshal Gui, and his troops were stationed in Huanbizhu in the northeast of Zhao County.

As soon as Lin Jia got up, Yu Zhi couldn't help reminding: "My lord, I'm afraid Jin Xiu will come to see you again!"

Lin Jia smiled and looked at her: "That's why I'm going to make this case even more exaggerated, and let Jin Xiuzhen know that I have already filed the case!"

And he just took advantage of this time to get in touch with Jin Xiuzhen more, in order to stabilize Jin Xiuzhen in the future, Yuan Xiuming, who quietly led the imperial army to Hu Yingzhi's Zhuangzi, sent troops to capture all the elites of the Salvation Sect in Zhaoxian County.

Seeing that Lin Jia had thought of it, Yu Zhi couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, and met Lin Jia's eyes, knowing each other.

Talking to a smart person like Lin Jia is really easy. Yuzhi can guess what Yuzhi is thinking when he says a word, and it goes without saying what Yuzhi will say next, and Yuzhi can also learn from Lin Jia's few words and eyes. Guess Lin Jia's thoughts.

Lin Jia took a deep look at Yuzhi, and then looked at He Lianshan: "Master Helian, I will leave this matter to you!"

He Lianshan answered "Yes", raised his eyes in deep thought, glanced over Yuzhi and Lin Jia, and said in his heart: Master Lin is a proud son of heaven, but he gets along really well with this maid named Yuzhi Strange, the two of them are very silent together, but once they open their mouths, it seems that one can understand all the thoughts of the other with just one sentence, this tacit understanding is really powerful!
It's just that Yuzhi's status is a little lower, and she doesn't match up with adults.

While thinking, he went out with Lin Jia Hu Yingzhi.

Yuzhi watched Lin Jia and Hu Yingzhi and He Lianshan leave, sat down behind the desk, took "Historical Mirror" and continued to read.

In the evening, after a gust of wind, it started to rain.

Yuzhi put down the book in her hand and stood in front of the back window of the study to watch the rain.

Because of her construction, the flowers and trees in the small courtyard at the back were scattered, and the raindrops hit the new leaves of the flowers and trees, making a "tick" sound, and the flowers that were still blooming on the branches were also wet by the rain and fell to the ground.

Yuzhi looked at the rain outside, thinking about Lin Jia and Hu Yingzhi who had gone to the Bizhu coastal defense camp in the northeast ring of Zhao County.

Both Lin Jia and Hu Yingzhi are sick and weak, and they might not be able to withstand the rain, so it's better not to come back in the rain tonight.

Yuzhi waited outside the study until it was dark. Seeing that Lin Jia hadn't come back, she tidied up, leaving Achi guarding the study outside, and took a shortcut with an umbrella to go back to the county government house.

At this time, the county government office was already empty and there were no people there. From the outer study to the county government house, one had to pass through a secluded corridor.

Yuzhi was very courageous, and walked back slowly under her umbrella.

Mrs. Xu Er just finished dinner and was about to ask Jiner to call Yuzhi. When she saw Yuzhi came back, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Yuzhi, since your lord will not come back to eat, I will cook some meals that girls like to eat." Come and taste it, girl!"

Yu Zhi was overjoyed when she heard the words, and hurriedly said, "What kind of dish is it?"

While she was talking, she had followed Mrs. Xu into the small kitchen.

Yuzhi likes to eat salty, fresh and spicy dishes, but Lin Jia is in poor health and her taste is bland, so in order to take care of Lin Jia's taste, Yuzhi had to give up her hobby.

Mrs. Xu pointed to the six dishes on the kitchen table for Yuzhi to see: "One dish of mint leaves mixed with walnut kernels, one dish of cold bitter chrysanthemum, one dish of tiger skin green peppers, one dish of mushy small yellow croaker, one dish of duck Palm bream, a plate of oriole bream!"

When Yuzhi saw it, her mouth watered: "It would be even better if there is wine!"

Seeing her happy, Second Lady Xu was also happy in her heart, and said, "Miss Yuzhi, I have prepared a bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine for you, you go wash your hands first, I will send all the wine and vegetables to the open room of the main room after a while!"

After hearing this, Yuzhi thanked her with a smile, and went to wash her hands in the open room of the main room.

Since the tea visit, during this period of time, Lin Jia had frequent nightmares at night, so she was asked to move back, and still slept on the couch in front of the bedroom window to accompany the night.

Yuzhi first went to the inner study in the west dark room, took a candlestick and shined on the bookshelf for a long time, and finally found a copy of "Ye Yu Qiu Lan Lu".

After finding the book, she put it on the small table in the open room, and then washed her hands.

Not long after, Mrs. Xu and Jin'er brought the food and wine over and withdrew.

Yuzhi eats salty, fresh, spicy dishes, drinks sweet osmanthus wine, and reads scary ghost stories amidst the sound of raindrops. This is the ultimate happiness in life.

Because she was so happy, Yuzhi drank the whole bottle of sweet-scented osmanthus wine unconsciously.

When she realized that her head was dizzy and her heart was pounding, Yuzhi realized that she was drunk.

Although she was drunk, her body was limp and her head was dizzy, but her spirit was still clear.

Yuzhi calmly ordered Mrs. Xu to pack up the cups, plates and chopsticks, and went back to the bedroom by herself.

After returning to the bedroom, Yuzhi tried her best to control herself, spread out the bedding on the brocade couch, then took off her coat, untied her hair, and lay down on the bedding.

After lying down, Yuzhi felt dizzy and dizzy.

She closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep amid the sound of the ticking rain.

Yuzhi knew that she was dreaming.

It was always night in the dream, the moon was big and round, and the moonlight was bright and clear.

She lives in a dilapidated wooden attic under the moon, sitting on the brocade couch in front of the window every night, looking at the poplar path outside the window under the moonlight, waiting for the handsome boy in white who comes to look for her every night. .

The young man was vaguely Lin Jia, and every night he would come back along the poplar path, and spend lingering love with Yuzhi on the brocade couch.

It's just that when he and Yuzhi were together, he was lingering in every possible way, but once the matter was over, he ignored Yuzhi and just put on his clothes and left. ,

Yuzhi clearly knew that she was in a dream, but she still stared at the boy's back in the moonlight as he walked away, and she couldn't stop crying. Her heart seemed to be pinched and squeezed hard, it was extremely uncomfortable...

Lin Jia doesn't like to stay outside, and after meeting Gui Ruyu in Huanbizhu, she rushed back in the rain.

As soon as he entered the open room, he could smell the sweet scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and knew that Yuzhi was secretly drinking while he was away, so he couldn't help smiling——Yuzhi actually secretly drank, what a naughty girl!
After entering the bedroom, seeing Yuzhi sleeping soundly on the brocade couch in front of the window, Lin Jia felt relieved and went to the bathroom behind the bed to take a bath.

Although he was wearing an oilcloth cloak, his clothes were still wet from the rain, and it was very uncomfortable to wrap himself in the wetness.

Lin Jia washed her hair with fragrant soap first, and then began to wash her body.

He was using a ladle of warm water to wash off the fragrant soap foam on his body, when he suddenly heard a scream from outside, the voice was sharp, full of terror and fright, it was Yuzhi's voice!

Lin Jia hurriedly put down the water ladle in her hand and rushed out: "Yuzhi, what's wrong with you?"

A lamp with a crystal shade was lit in the bedroom.

In the shining light of the crystal shade lamp, Yuzhi was sitting on the brocade couch wearing a light pink soft silk jacket, her long black hair was loose, her palm-sized face was flushed, and there was a trace of confusion in her watery apricot eyes. , was in a daze, white silk and rose red satin embroidery were piled messily on her body, as if she had woken up from a nightmare.

Hearing Lin Jia's voice, Yuzhi just woke up like a dream and looked over.

Seeing Lin Jia in front of her, she blinked first, then her face turned red, and she immediately covered her face.

Only then did Lin Jia realize that she was still naked, with foam on her body, so she hurriedly turned around and rushed into the bathroom.

Sitting on the brocade couch, Yuzhi felt that everything from her face to her neck to her collarbone was hot - she had seen all of Lin Jia!
Lin Jia is slender and slender, with fair skin, exactly the same as in her dream...

Thinking of the lingering relationship with Lin Jia in the dream just now, Yuzhi almost wanted to die - why did she dream of being lingering with Lin Jia every night in the moonlit attic...
