Aunt Shuang stood alone in the corner, watching Lin Jingzhi and Tang Yuxiang holding hands, affectionately, and felt a bitterness in her heart. It was precisely because Mrs. Lin knew that Lin Jingzhi liked her before that she agreed to take her with her.
She came out, but the reality before her now was unacceptable to her.
The man who was as close to her as a confidant in the past never even took the initiative to look at her!
Aunt Rou had a gentle personality and could not see through Aunt Shuang's heartache. When Mrs. Lin called their names, she took the initiative to take Aunt Shuang's arm and walked into the hall together.
Lin Jingzhi left the main hall and walked toward the back mountain with the support of Shi Mo. The surrounding area of Luocheng is a temperate zone. Although it is late autumn, the trees, flowers and plants in the mountains are still lush and lush. Looking from the mountainside, the scenery is pleasant.
, beautiful and beautiful, a cool breeze blows, lifting Lin Jingzhi's black hair, which makes people energetic.
The mountains here are connected with the mountains, so the area behind the mountain is very large. About three hundred meters away from the backyard of Yiqingguan, there is a bamboo forest. Lin Jingzhi and Shi Mo came here and saw that there were no tourists around, so they plunged in.
, and after walking about a hundred meters inward, Lin Jingzhi sat on a blue boulder.
Waiting for Lin Jingzhi to sit firmly, Shi Mo put his finger to his mouth, then blew hard, and a crisp whistle sounded.
Not long after the whistle fell, Lin Jingzhi heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the bamboo forest. From far to near, it was obvious that someone was walking in the bamboo forest. After a while, he saw a man wearing a blue cloth shirt with sharp thorns on his back.
The middle-aged man with the sword caught his eyelids. This middle-aged man had a dark complexion, a tall figure, and was very majestic. After seeing Lin Jing, he walked a few steps, knelt on the ground with one knee, then clasped his fists and saluted respectfully.
He said: "Slave Yang Wei, I have met the second master."
Lin Jingzhi glanced at Yang Wei's jealous-sized fists, and was secretly shocked at how much hardship he had to endure to form such thick calluses. The joints of the iron fists in front of him were very thick, and the blue blood vessels on the back of his hands were like earthworms.
The muscles are highlighted, the muscles are tight, and the strength is strong.
Xu gave him a hand and said warmly: "Get up."
"Yes!" Although Lin Wei lowered his voice as much as possible, the martial arts practitioner's loud voice still scared away countless birds. Lin Jingzhi saw that he was dusty and his hair was scattered, so he softly said: "These days
, there are constant wars at the border, which is really hard on you."
Yang Wei bent down and saluted, and replied: "This is the duty of a slave. It's not hard to say whether it's hard or not. However, I went to the border and got a lot of information."
Almost all wealthy and prosperous families secretly maintain bodyguards. The purpose is very simple. When the family encounters a life-or-death moment, they can secretly protect a bloodline so as not to lose their incense. Yang Wei is the current secret guard of the Lin family.
The boss has a total of 150 people under his command. In addition to practicing martial arts, he is also responsible for inquiring about news from various places.
The Lin family's power and financial resources are limited, and it is impossible to open businesses throughout the Daqian Kingdom, so they have opened small restaurants or inns in many places. These businesses do not cost much money, but they can inquire about business intelligence in various places, such as which continent and which city this year.
If there is a drought, flood, etc., you can buy grain in advance and transport it to sell to make huge profits.
To put it bluntly, these small restaurants or inns are the Lin family's spies. Although they are not very useful at the moment, if they are used once, they can bring a lot of income to the Lin family. Moreover, these small industries can usually be self-sufficient, so they are not
It cannot be regarded as a burden to the Lin family.
The Lin family has ancestral rules and secret guards are only loyal to the family head. Therefore, except for the head of the family in each generation, many other family members do not know that there is such a force in the family.
"Oh? Please tell me what news there is." Lin Jingzhi asked curiously.
"Yes!" Yang Wei responded first, and then continued: "Second Master, after I went to the border this time, I heard many people say that although General Wang was killed by a stray general, the assassin did not seem to be a sudden assassin.
A traitor buried by others."
Shi Mo, who was standing aside, opened his eyes wide when he heard this, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked: "Impossible, he is not a traitor from the enemy country. How dare he sneak into the army and assassinate the commander-in-chief of an army?"
Lin Jingzhi was a little surprised at first, but after all, he had spent four years in a third-rate university, had taken so many history classes since he was a child, and watched so many intriguing costume TV dramas when he grew up, so he just blinked.
After a while, he calmed down again.
There is already a surging undercurrent in the court, and with the current Holy Emperor's poor health and several serious illnesses, the internal fighting will naturally become more intense!
"Go on."
"Yes, I heard someone say that the assassin was originally from the capital. He had only been in the army for less than a year. He had made several great achievements and was promoted to the rank of general by General Wang. Also, the assassin seemed to be a seventh-level general.
The prince recommended joining the army..."
"Ah? How could it be like this?" After hearing this, Shi Mo opened his mouth wide.
Lin Jingzhi had been mentally prepared before, so although he was surprised that a prince was involved in this matter, he could accept it rationally. He just sighed in his heart that the most unjust person to die in the past and present was the loyal minister and good general!
But who could be the mastermind behind the murder of General Wang?
Assassin? It's possible, but it's unlikely. After all, it's very difficult to bury a traitor in the enemy's army who is trusted by the enemy's commander.
Your Majesty? This is more likely. General Wang has made countless contributions to the Daqian Dynasty throughout his military life. Even the current emperor is quite afraid of him, let alone the crown prince? So the emperor knew that he was seriously ill and difficult to treat, so he ascended to heaven.
At this time, it is reasonable and reasonable to remove the thorn in the eyes of this highly accomplished master for his son.
Finally, there is the seventh prince, or several other ambitious princes! Everyone knows that General Wang is very loyal to the current royal family, so when the current emperor dies, he will definitely support the crown prince to ascend the throne. In this way,
While he became the crown prince's right-hand man, he also became a thorn in the side of several other princes.
Alas! In the end, it only hurts the people at the border!
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Jingzhi didn't want to pay attention to this matter anymore. After all, he was just a wealthy businessman and was not involved in political affairs, so this information was of little use to him. "I heard that a total of 500 people were lost at the border before.**
It’s a city, have you met many disaster victims along the way?”
Lin Wei thought about it for a while and then said: "Back to Second Master, there are not many victims."
Lin Jingzhi also knew that the border area was a bitter cold place, sparsely populated and quite desolate, so even if there was a military disaster, there would not be too many refugees. After hearing this, he nodded and said: "Is there any other intelligence information?"
And say come."
"Yes! Second Master, do you still remember that when the seasons changed from spring to summer this year, many places in the four northern continents were hit by disasters?"
Lin Jingzhi was stunned at first, and then his expression changed drastically. He stood up from the stone with a sudden movement, and exclaimed: "Is there another sign? Say it quickly!"
