Chapter 18: A horse catcher from the capital? And

What?

When he heard the news of Dr. Liu's death, Lin Hai's reaction was impossible. But Xiao An, except for being a little bit off-kilter sometimes, was usually very stable. He would never joke about this kind of thing!

"When did it happen? How did you die?"

"I heard that the servant found him hanging from the beam in his bedroom this morning when he was cleaning the room."

Seeing that Lin Hai didn't speak, Xiao An added: "Now the Liu Mansion is full of official servants. If the young master wants to go, I will prepare my horse immediately."

"I'm not a police officer, so what will happen if I go?"

Lin Hai just took two steps, then sighed and sat back down.

"Back up the generous gift. I'll go burn incense for him in two days."

Liu Xingchen's death was definitely not as simple as suicide. Lin Hai felt intuitively uneasy about this and instinctively did not want to study it in detail.

But sometimes you don’t want to cause trouble, but trouble comes to you on its own.

During lunch that day, Lin Qinghe led a young master and a middle-aged Taoist priest to his home. Lin Hai rarely saw his father smile so humbly. This smile also made him understand the young master and the Taoist priest.

has an extraordinary origin.

The person who can make Lin Qinghe so accommodating must be a high-ranking official!

From a distance, before the three of them entered the central hall, Lin Qinghe's laughter came over:

"That one inside is Lin Hai's dog, Lin Hai. You two adults haven't eaten yet? Why don't you serve it first and let's talk while eating!"

Lin Hai stood up and raised his hands to the oncoming young master and middle-aged Taoist priest:

"Student Lin Hai has met two adults!"

"Student? Do you still have fame?"

The young master at the head looked at Lin Hai in surprise, then sat down at the head of the long table unceremoniously, with an air of indescribable majesty and nobility in his as if no one else was around.

Arrogant nobility!

Lin Hai's eyes were calm and calm, and he replied with a humble smile similar to Lin Qinghe's:

"I studied in a private school for a few years and managed to become a scholar."

"Taoist Master Xing, please take a seat quickly!"

Lin Qinghe invited the middle-aged Taoist priest to sit down before he took his seat with a smile. He took a wine bottle with a natural movement and was about to pour the wine for the young master himself:

"Whatever Mr. Ma and Taoist Master Xing want to ask, we, father and son, will definitely tell you everything!"

A slender hand covered the wine glass. Mr. Ma didn't even look at Lin Qinghe who was pouring the wine. He turned to stare at Lin Hai who was still standing aside with his head lowered:

"I asked about you when I came here. Some people said that you, the young master of the Lin family, are incompetent in literature and martial arts, but in my opinion, the rumors don't match up!"

"Master Ma, where do you start talking about this? The student is really ashamed."

If Lin Hai was a free-spirited person, he would beat this bastard named Ma to death at any cost. But now that even Lin Qinghe has bowed his head, what can he do to retaliate? The Lin family is such a big family.

!

Mr. Ma simply moved his chair, faced Lin Hai directly, and said affirmatively: "You know Kung Fu!"

This time, before Lin Hai could speak, Taoist Xing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly moved. One moment he was sitting upright on his chair, and the next second he rushed in front of Lin Hai.

Master!

Lin Hai's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to block the Taoist priest's attack, but as soon as he raised his arm, he was restrained by reason.

He's here to test my quality, but I won't let you try!

A fist magnified infinitely in his sight, but Lin Hai remained motionless. He allowed the evil wind and aura carried by the fist to hit his face, but he did not react at all. He just looked at it coldly, as if he could be swallowed up with one punch.

middle-aged Taoist priest.

The fist finally stopped in front of Lin Hai's nose, but Lin Hai grinned. After entering the door with such great style, didn't he dare to kill me in the end?

Lin Hai stretched out his hand and pressed down his fist gently, smiling and saying, "What a great skill, Master Taoist."

He slowly walked to Lin Qinghe and sat down next to him. The expressions on the faces of both father and son showed the same indifference. The old man put down the wine bottle he poured for Mr. Ma and said in a nonchalant manner: "It's a pity that I don't dare to fight."

Go down."

Pfft, Lin Hai almost laughed out loud, but he couldn't tell that the old man was quite embarrassed.

Mr. Ma snorted coldly and signaled Taoist Xing to step back, but no matter how they put on their posture at this time, they still gave people a feeling of forcing themselves to save face. The initial oppression was long gone. Once momentum is something like this,

Once it leaks, it can’t be repaired!

Mr. Ma also knows this truth. He wanted to give a shock to such a country gentry, but who knew he might actually risk his life? Ordinarily he should stand up and say harsh words at this time, but he has a duty, so he should

You have to ask the question bravely.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, you are so brave! I asked him directly without any nonsense. I heard that you introduced the woman Liu Xingchen treated before he died. Could you please help me? Let's find her.

Something’s wrong!”

"Mr. Ma, thank you for your praise. I have some impressions of that patient. I wonder what business you have with her?"

Mr. Ma was quiet for a moment, as if he was considering whether to say anything. After a moment, he said:

"There is some grudge between the masters. We suspect that girl's father is a key criminal of the imperial court who has been absconding for many years. My son came from Kyoto with an order to bring him to justice."

Lin Hai suddenly slapped the table and handed over his hands to Mr. Ma in awe: "It turns out it's Mr. Ma who came from Kyoto, disrespectful!"

Mr. Ma's face turned green when he heard this. He is the only son of a high-ranking official in Kyoto. This time he was ordered to capture the abandoned disciple of Maoshan who was deprived of all his skills more than 20 years ago. It was originally a simple matter.

Everyone knew that after this was done, Mr. Ma's rise to prominence began. Even the Lord of Youzhou City had to give some face. He specially greeted Lin Qinghe before coming and wanted to treat him well, but that was all.

.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local coward. If it really breaks down, everyone won't dump you if they say they won't.

At this time, Mr. Ma was so angry that Lin Hai was so angry that he was so angry. He boasted that he was from a wealthy official in Kyoto. He came out to handle the case this time just to find an excuse to get into the higher ranks. Once the matter is completed, he would be able to rise to the top.

The little head catcher is simply insulting his status!

But he had no choice. Only Lin Hai knew the news about the female patient. However, the Lin family was still a member of the lord of Youzhou City, and could not be beaten or killed.

Master Ma was livid and silent, and Taoist priest Xing, as his subordinate, had to stand up and speak for him.

"Master Lin, that abandoned disciple from Maoshan killed his master and deceived his master to destroy his ancestors. He is a murderous devil without blinking an eye. Before he caused a big disaster, in my humble opinion it would have been better to tell him earlier.

The people of Youzhou in the province are suffering."

Lin Hai suddenly looked aggrieved as he wanted to cooperate but couldn't:

"I really want to cooperate with you, but what exactly do you want to ask?"

There was silence in the middle hall. Mr. Ma thought about it carefully with a livid face, and found that they had only been showing off since they entered the door. Ever since Lin Hai stood still and disrupted the rhythm, they really hadn't asked any substantive questions.

.

The old man rubbed his face with one hand and laughed loudly. Mr. Ma's back molars were almost broken, and his face was red, not knowing whether he was angry or not:
Chapter completed!
