This is a conclusion that Zhao Song and the others came to without much thought.
A trace of surprise flashed across Ling Yutong's eyebrows.
Immediately afterwards, she saw many... people wearing exactly the same clothes walking out of the courtyard from all directions.
They washed their faces clean and combed their hair neatly, revealing faces that were either old or youthful. But what made their whole person look completely new was the sparkling light in their eyes.
It seems to be a determination that the road ahead is no longer confusing, so even though the spark is small, it cannot be ignored.
Zhao Song actually didn't expect that when he put the two paths in front of his companions, their choices would be so close and unified.
Ling Yutong chuckled lightly and said to them with gentle eyes: "Thank you for your choice, I will not let you down."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes flashed with blazing light.
Won't be disappointed?
But what she promised was clearly protection and arrangements within her area...
Almost unanimously, they thought of the condition that "they cannot return to their hometown for the time being". So, one day, will they be able to return to their hometown to take a look?
They are all looking at Ling Yutong.
Ling Yutong did not give any response.
She just looked at them with calm eyes.
And this calmness and nature gave them infinite courage.
"Xingyue Pavilion's main business is rice noodles. The side business is Tingyue and I's medical challenge. It is well-known in the capital, so naturally it will inevitably attract some villains."
"I have never expanded the number of attendants in the cabinet because of distrust."
"But I don't have such concerns about you."
"If there is anything urgent, please contact..."
Ling Yutong's eyes circled around and fell on Lu He.
"Contact her."
The man in black is the person the master is looking for. Although he is trustworthy,... she doesn't want to cause trouble.
Lu He was left behind by her, and she quickly returned to the pavilion, asking Song Yue to prepare pen and paper as soon as she entered the door.
She wrote an invitation to Ni Cangzhu in a few strokes.
"Hand it over."
After the post was sent out, she quickly collected the personal movement track written by the people in the pavilion.
When she turned to one of the pages, she raised her eyebrows. How could she become the wife of the Wu family and not even have this ability to express herself?
The words in this record are vague, the time is vague, and the events... are even omitted. Is Mrs. Zhao afraid that the words "I am suspected" are not written on her face?
However, in addition to what Mrs. Zhao wrote, there was another one that also attracted her attention.
Ling Yutong pursed her lips slightly.
She really didn't expect that it would be him.
She didn't dwell on her thoughts for long before the person she was waiting for arrived.
When Ni Cangzhu and Shi Mu stepped into the room together, before their bodies had time to salute, their noses inhaled the refreshing aroma of tea.
“Great tea!”
Ni Cangzhu's eyes suddenly lit up.
The emotions he felt when he came were immediately suppressed to the back of his head. Now all he could think about was the cup of tea in Ling Yutong's hand.
When Shi Mu saw this, he shook his head helplessly and followed.
Ling Yutong resisted Ni Cangzhu's helpless expression and pushed the tea cup closer with a smile.
From the way he drinks tea, we can see that Ni Cangzhu is a person who understands tea and loves tea.
The steam from the tea cup made the tea tray hazy. Ling Yutong spoke up at the right time, with a calm face.
"I invite you here today because I have some news."
"I'm not sure how accurate it is, but this is a completely new direction, and maybe it will be useful for adults' investigations."
"After all, the new official was buried in a sea of fire the day before he took office, and one person died. No matter how you calculate it, it is like a vendetta. The people can only spread some information, and that will be enough as time goes by. But the aristocratic students who are still taking exams, they are...
"
Ni Cangzhu understood what Ling Yutong meant.
If the murderer cannot be found out, the examiner will not be at peace.
You can't spend ten years in a cold window. Once you are given an official position, you have to take office the next day, and the person is gone...
"Tell me about it," Shi Mu said.
Ling Yutong nodded.
Her voice was gentle and her speaking rhythm was moderate, which quickly attracted their attention. Seeing that the expressions of the two people in front of her became serious, her eyes flashed.
"To be honest, the account book in our pavilion, the one we showed to the two adults that day, was accidentally lost in the past two days."
"They say it was lost, but I actually suspect that it was taken away by someone with some intentions."
"You two sent me the post as soon as the incident happened. In fact, it was not only because I am good at making medicine from powder, but also because you doubted me, right?"
Ni Cangzhu's throat tightened.
Shi Mu's eyes remained normal.
Ling Yutong continued: "It's nothing. If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, you would doubt me."
Ni Cangzhu raised his eyes.
"Currently, I have no clue about the loss of the account books in our cabinet, but I have a bold guess. Do you think the person who stole the account books and the person who created the sea of fire are the same person?"
Shi Mu's eyes suddenly turned sharp, as if he was deep in thought.
"First he attacked Yu Nanxun, then he exposed that there was only one kind of powder that could make other people unconscious, and then he led him to me. Now, the account book has been lost."
"Tell me, does the other party just want to put a hat on my head?"
"If the person who took the account book tampered with some words at will, and then spread the news to everyone in the capital..."
Ling Yutong lowered his eyes.
"By then, Xingyue Pavilion and I will be at the forefront of the storm, right?"
"After all, the rapid rise of Xingyue Pavilion is inseparable from my hands."
Her tone of voice became softer and softer, and she became more and more able to bring people into the scene.
Ni Cangzhu and Shi Mu both fell silent.
They were really surprised by this guess, and after thinking about it, they felt... maybe it made sense.
Ling Yutong raised the end of his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.
"I also know a piece of news."
"I wonder if you know that there is a secret organization in this capital called Andu."
"Yu Nanxun was once there, and he paid a large sum of money to put a reward on his life. Whoever kills him will be hunted down by the secret police."
As soon as these words came out, Ni Cangshu was completely shocked.
His hand holding the tea cup suddenly tightened. After a moment, he suddenly felt startled and quickly let go of his hand.
"Then there is the crisis that my eldest sister and I, Mr. Chen, encountered. A clear number three is a provocation and a warning."
"Moreover, not long ago, my third brother's friend who was also an examiner was revealed to be his true identity. He is number five of an organization. He has now escaped."
Ling Yutong raised his eyes.
Her eyes were clear and calm, without any avoidance.
"I still don't know which mysterious organization they belong to, but what I am sure of is that they have malicious intentions towards the Qi family."
"Why? What if it's the same mission-delivery type as Anto?"
Shi Mu looked at her with burning eyes.
"impossible."
"The person who performs the task will not have any personal emotions. But number three is different. In his design, those of us should fall off the cliff and die."
"As for Yu Nanxun, his plan may be to die in a sea of fire."
"As for whether this guess is accurate, I think Master Ni should have the means to know the movements of the people in Andu, right?"
Ni Cangshu: Okay, so I was waiting for him here.
Shi Mu narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but laugh.
"Miss Ling, you are really smart."
Use everything available to intertwine the common points of several things, and then there will be many people who are looking for answers to take the initiative to open a way for her.
One is the Holy Emperor, who is the younger brother of the Queen and also seeks Dharma for court officials.
Second, they, in order to save Yu Nanxun's life, went to find out number three and the organization behind number three. Even stalking the dark night became their business.
In addition, I am afraid that she has no direct contact with them, but Chen Qiushui's father Chen Shangshu and Yu Nanxun's father Yu Xiang will also participate in the investigation.
All she needs to do is touch her lips and sit in the Xingyue Pavilion. By then, all the information will be placed in front of her.
Good calculation.
Facing Shi Mu's gaze, Ling Yutong remained calm.
She lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea. No one saw the dim light in her eyes.
Who says losing the ledger this time is a bad thing?
She gave the most timely guess in advance, and even said "tampering and disseminating information that was unfavorable to her." Then, the drug expenditure recorded in the account book naturally became "framed by others."
And is Yu Nanxun's death really related to number three? How is it possible?
Yu Nanxun, but she took matters into her own hands.
Only the organization behind numbers three and five was the information she really wanted to know.
The steam from the tea filled his eyes, Ling Yutong smiled slightly and raised his eyes to look at the two people opposite.
"So, sir, do you think the information I gave you is sincere?"
