There are so many conclusive witnesses, but there is no evidence.
So what if there is physical evidence?
Even if Mu Chenyun's personal belongings were stolen, there is no way to prove that they were obtained at the scene.
So this is a finalized matter and has nothing to do with evidence.
Vaguely, Lin Xi just couldn't figure out some things and wanted to find a place to be quiet and think about it first.
"Where to go?"
Jiang Xiaoyi, who was pulled out of the mansion by him, asked as he crossed the high threshold.
This upright young man's face was gray and his eyes were looking blankly into the distance, but his voice was very hollow.
In the distance is the most prosperous place in Donglin Province, a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands. The wealthy gentry and wealthy businessmen in the corners of the entire Donglin Province all want to buy houses and land in it and occupy a place.
Red walls and black tiles, famous alleys and temples, beautiful places shaded by red flowers and green trees, famous restaurants brewing fine wine and preparing delicacies... I don’t know how many places there are to visit.
However, in his eyes at this moment, it was all gloomy and lifeless, but there was no place to go.
Lin Xi held Jiang Xiaoyi's wrist and felt that Jiang Xiaoyi's body had become a little cold. He took a deep breath, breathed it out slowly, and said, "Let's go drink."
There are also many lotus flowers in Donglin Provincial City, blooming slightly in the ditches surrounding the streets and alleys of the provincial capital.
In the dusk, some people were praying, and lit lotus lanterns were placed in the ditch.
Lin Xi, Jiang Xiaoyi, and Bian Linghan were drinking in a wine shop next to the canal. Glasses of strong liquor were burning in Jiang Xiaoyi's throat like lines of fire. He couldn't see clearly which one in the water was the best.
Lotus lantern, which one is the real lotus?
"I swear to kill him." He drank another glass of wine and said coldly.
Lin Xi knew the pain in Jiang Xiaoyi's heart. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but at this moment, he suddenly turned around again.
A man in casual clothes with a cold face opened the curtain and walked in.
He was Xiao Tieleng, the third-rank inspector of the Criminal Division who took Lin Xi and others to see Mu Chenyun in the afternoon.
"You can't kill him." Xiao Tieleng looked at Lin Xi, Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi, and said coldly.
Lin Xi raised her head, put down the wine glass in her hand, looked at the man with a cold face, and asked calmly: "Is this a reminder or a warning, Master Xiao?"
Xiao Tieleng raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the calm Lin Xi, the angry Bian Linghan, and Jiang Xiaoyi whose face gradually became hard and stern, and sighed softly: "I'm not wearing official uniform."
"That's a reminder." Lin Xi bowed slightly to him and said, "Master Xiao, please take a seat."
Xiao Tieleng silently sat down at a low table next to him.
Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi's eyes fell on Lin Xi. They didn't know why Lin Xi was so calm and had such an attitude towards this criminal department official. However, Lin Xi looked at Xiao Tieleng calmly and said: "I have always
I'm thinking about something, and now that the adults are here, maybe I can think it through thoroughly."
Xiao Tieleng remained silent and did not answer for a while.
Lin Xi continued: "If the superiors are determined to suppress this matter, logically speaking, they should not let the three of us come over to ask questions or make notes. The best way is to use the best method in the court.
The trick of dragging is to use time to drag some truths and influences out of sight and until few people care about them. Those above who are determined to suppress this matter must also be aware of what I did in Donggang and Yanlai Town.
I am a person who sometimes does things regardless of the consequences. It is extremely unwise for me to come here and see Mu Chenleng's arrogance and complacency and his impunity. I might do something, but instead
It will make the matter bigger. Moreover, Mu Chenyun's transaction involved such amazing things, how could it be possible to reach a conclusion so quickly? Even if the elder families in Zhongzhou Imperial City want to suppress this matter, they may not be able to do so.
We don’t dare to be so quick, and we have to take into account the thoughts of the current Holy One.”
The authorities are confused, but the bystanders know clearly, and I am afraid that even bystanders do not think as carefully and clearly as Lin Xi. When Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi heard these words of Lin Xi, their expressions began to change slightly.
Xiao Tieleng's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not expect that Lin Xi would have such knowledge and such a keen sense of smell for official affairs. This was not something a young official could possess.
Thoughts. But at the same time, the doubts that troubled him were somewhat solved. Only such a character can get into the eyes of the people in the imperial city and make them express such meaning.
But he is an official of Yunqin, and loyalty to the emperor is an innate concept implanted in his blood. Even though he has a lot of dissatisfaction with Mu Chenyun's handling, he cannot speculate on the holy will privately, so he heard it.
Lin Xi didn't clarify what she meant. She just looked at Lin Xi and admonished her: "Now that you have thought of this, you know that there are some things you can do and some things you absolutely cannot do."
A mocking look appeared on Lin Xi's face, and she said: "So in the final analysis, this matter still depends on our stance, whether we dare to disobey his wishes, whether we dare to kill Mu Chenyun at all costs... It depends on
Can we put our loyalty to Him above all else?"
Xiao Tieleng's expression froze slightly, and he could hear a lot of disrespect in Lin Xi's words.
Lin Xi has different thoughts from people in this world. He does not have some deep-rooted ideas inherent in people in this world. In his eyes, even the person on the dragon bed just happens to be sitting in that position.
He is an ordinary person, and he already has a little understanding of what kind of person the current emperor is from the conversations with Vice President Xia and others, so he is naturally easier to see some things clearly than people in this world, and at this moment Xiao Tieleng
His attitude made him even more aware that his judgment was correct.
Of course, he knew that for the people on the dragon throne, everyone in the world, especially people like Vice President Xia who could frighten the world with force, should be his slaves... However, Lin Xi never thought
The perception of whose slave you consider yourself to be.
If you want your minister to die, you must die. No matter how unwilling you are, you still have to kneel before the emperor. Even if you do the right thing and the emperor says you are wrong, you still have to endure it... because the emperor wants to
Absolute loyalty and absolute majesty were required to manage the empire. Lin Xi understood the king's thoughts, but things like this could only make him feel more and more resistant to the person on the dragon throne.
"This is purely to pressure us and make us give up our persistence and will." Lin Xi shook her head, "Only when things are done with reason can people respect and obey them."
"I'm not wearing official uniform today, I'm just talking privately. You don't have to think about conveying your thoughts through me. I'm not qualified to convey it." Xiao Tieleng's face became even stiffer and he said in a cold voice: "
Even if you guess, the Holy One has his own considerations when doing things, we as subjects should understand and obey, and should not have any other ideas at all. Moreover, if you want to kill someone... you can wait until it is time to kill."
Lin Xi smiled sarcastically and said: "Thank you, sir, for your reminder and kindness, but if he is kept under house arrest like this, or if he is finally found not guilty and allowed to work for Yunqin, won't we just have to watch him all the time?"
Xiao Tieleng originally loved talents, but after being in contact with Lin Xi for a long time, he also found that Lin Xi also had many things that he didn't like. His mood at this moment became somewhat similar to Jiang Yanguan's mood at that time, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
, said sternly: "No matter what, you must understand that Yunqin has laws, and everyone must act according to the rules. If you assassinate him, you will also be breaking the law."
Lin Xi shook her head, "What a good idea."
Xiao Tieleng's face darkened, and for a moment he didn't think anything of it and didn't say a word.
Lin Xi wanted to drink, but when he picked up the wine glass, he was slightly startled. He saw that the blood scab on his tiger's mouth had completely fallen off, and the skin of the tiger's mouth was as smooth as before, but there was no trace of scars.
While he was slightly stunned, Xiao Tieleng drank a glass of wine and felt that he had nothing to say, so he stood up and walked out directly.
Several officials in casual clothes met Xiao Tieleng not far outside the wine shop. One of them, a man who looked like a civil servant, looked at Xiao Tieleng worriedly and immediately asked: "How?"
"It's similar to the rumors. I'm afraid I really don't have any awe. He's a talented tiger and wolf. It's dangerous... dangerous. I'm afraid I won't be able to disappoint everyone's expectations in the future." Xiao Tieleng looked dryly at the officials who admired Lin Xi and shook his head.
, "It's just that he is extremely smart and very diplomatic and calm in dealing with things. He will endure it..."
"Mu Chenyun is extremely injured now, with a lot of blood loss and internal injuries. You can definitely feel it. Although he is a national warrior, he probably has no fighting power at the moment. If we want to kill him, we will definitely be able to kill him, otherwise Xiao
Tie Leng would not come to us specifically to tell us this." In Linqu Wine Shop, Lin Xi looked at Jiang Xiaoyi and Bian Linghan and said, "But we can't kill him because this is a challenge to the emperor's majesty. This is the province.
There are many practitioners and troops in the city..."
A "pop!" sound interrupted Lin Xi's voice.
Jiang Xiaoyi raised his head and drank a bottle of wine. His forehead fell on the table, his body slid down softly, and he was drunk and unconscious.
…
…
It's quiet at night.
Lin Xi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes, shining like stars.
After meditating in the middle of the night, his state at this moment had reached its peak. He stood up silently, opened the window, and jumped out.
Behind the window of this inn was a quiet bamboo forest. His figure and movements were very agile, but he immediately stopped and stopped by the window of a nearby room.
This is Jiang Xiaoyi's room, and there is no sound of breathing in it.
Lin Xi stretched out his hand, and he easily opened the window. The bed inside was a little messy, but there was no sign of Jiang Xiaoyi.
Lin Xi's hands and feet were slightly cold.
He is the one among the three who knows best not to assassinate Mu Chenyun, but because he has a unique ability and he hates this choice, and he knows that Vice President Xia already thinks that he is a general,
So when everyone thought he would not assassinate Mu Chenyun, he was still stubborn enough to give it a try.
Not for the thirteen heavy armors, but for the petite bones on the small island in the river, and for my friends.
Bian Linghan and Jiang Xiaoyi were not the same people as him. The concept of monarch and ministers and some so-called empires, glory and other concepts were very important. He thought that the two of them would not be as presumptuous as himself, but he did not expect Jiang Xiao
Yi actually pretended to be drunk to reassure herself, and even risked her own life and future to do such a destructive thing.
At this moment, he knew that he might have underestimated Jiang Xiaoyi's feelings for Wang Simin, as well as his friend's passion and inner struggle.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and then quickly touched Jiang Xiaoyi's bed.
There was no warmth anymore, and Jiang Xiaoyi had been gone for a long time.
