"The house was ransacked..."
"hehe!"
"I never thought in my wildest dreams that Shangguan Yi, the great master in the past, would have his house confiscated!"
"Okay...okay!"
"Good copy!"
"I have never felt so happy knowing that his house was ransacked!"
"It is entirely his own fault and his own destruction for falling into such an end!"
Thinking of Shangguan Yi's harsh treatment of him, Jiang Lin's eyes burst out with endless anger.
"Over the years, Shangguan Yi has forced me to work for him and pretended to accept me as his adopted son, but it was just an excuse for me to sacrifice my life for him!"
"He knows Xiuyue is my woman, but he still treats her..."
"To her..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Lin choked up.
Song Huan frowned: "Didn't Xiuyue be harmed by you?"
"Of course not!" Jiang Lin denied flatly, "I have lived for more than forty years, and I have never been so tempted by a woman."
"Only Xiuyue reminds me of my mother when she was young and makes me want to have a family..."
"But that old thief Shangguan Yi knew that Xiu Yue was here to find me, but he still let Xiu Yue serve her!"
"In the end, Xiuyue was tortured to death!"
"And Xiuyue is not the first woman who was tortured to death by him..."
Listening to Jiang Lin's words, Song Huan couldn't help but feel secretly frightened.
I never expected that that bad old man Shangguan Yi would have such an unknown cruel habit!
But looking at Jiang Lin's grief-stricken look, Song Huan couldn't help but sneer.
"You keep saying that you like Xiuyue, but you let her, a weak woman, do things for you and take the risk of poisoning me!"
"You know, if this king is successfully poisoned by that pot of poisonous wine, everyone will only trace Xiuyue to Xiuyue and identify Xiuyue as the murderer of this king."
"And in order to protect you, Xiuyue will not give you up, but chooses to silently bear all this for you!"
"You love her, but you are reluctant to die yourself. Instead, you let her die for you."
"What kind of man are you hiding behind the woman you love most?"
Song Huan's rebuke made Jiang Lin smile bitterly.
"Yes, Your Highness, you are right!"
"I regret it every day since that day!"
"I know that I am greedy for life and afraid of death. At that moment, I really wanted Xiuyue to support me and die for me!"
"But what can I do?"
"I don't want to die either!"
"But Shangguan Yi is pressing hard every step of the way. If I don't take action, I will definitely die!"
"I also hate myself for being a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
At this point, Jiang Lin was beating his chest and crying.
Seeing the middle-aged man in front of him crying like a child, Song Huan also sighed silently.
It can only be said that human nature is complex.
In the critical moment of life and death, who can calmly stand up and welcome the arrival of death?
All I can say is that there are really very few people who can do this!
Song Huan did not want to argue with Jiang Lin about right or wrong in this matter. He was not God and was not qualified to judge anyone and distinguish who was right from wrong.
Besides, if Jiang Lin's mentality is really broken, wouldn't it be impossible to find out the whereabouts of the "Dragon Bone Suicide Note" from his mouth?
Thinking that he still had business to attend to during this trip, Song Huan quickly changed the subject: "I am here today because I have something very important to ask you."
"If you can tell the story, I can consider letting you out in advance!"
Once he heard that Song Huan could let him go out early, Jiang Lin stopped crying instantly and raised his head expectantly.
"As long as I know something, I will tell the truth!"
Song Huan asked: "Do you know where Shangguan Yi placed the "Dragon Bone Suicide Note"?"
Jiang Lin looked a little confused: "What is the "Dragon Bone Suicide Note"?"
Song Huan blurted out: "You don't know the "Dragon Bone Suicide Note"?"
The three questions asked in succession almost burned out the CPUs of both people.
After a long time, Song Huan asked tentatively: "You have been with Shangguan Yi for so long, haven't you heard of the "Dragon Bone Suicide Note"?"
Jiang Lin shook his head honestly: "Your Highness, I really don't know what this "Dragon Bone Suicide Note" is!"
"I've never heard of it!"
Song Huan was completely confused.
Didn't it mean that Shangguan Yi left all matters in the Grand Master's residence to Jiang Lin?
How come Jiang Lin has never even heard of something as important as the "Dragon Bone Testament"?
Judging from the confused expression on his face, it doesn’t look like he’s pretending at all!
Song Huan was puzzled. Suddenly, he looked at Jiang Lin blankly: "When did you follow Shangguan Yi?"
Jiang Lin replied: "Thirty-two years ago, that was the day when the current Saint ascended the throne!"
Hearing this, Song Huan suddenly became enlightened!
No wonder Jiang Lin didn't know about the "Dragon Bones Suicide Note"!
This thing was gifted to Shangguan Yi by the late emperor. At that time, Jiang Lin had not yet become Shangguan Yi's confidant.
Naturally, I don’t know where this thing is!
However, Song Huan still had some hope: "Then do you know who the housekeeper of the Taishi Mansion was before you?"
A trace of hesitation flashed across Jiang Lin's face, but he finally answered: "I only know that the previous housekeeper's surname was Wu."
"Only because he died of a sudden illness, I was able to stay with Shangguan Yi and be his housekeeper."
Death from a sudden illness?
He is doing a good job as a housekeeper, but is he likely to suffer from a serious illness?
In all likelihood, this housekeeper surnamed Wu was killed by that old thief Shangguan Yi because he didn't handle things well!
Seeing that the last bit of hope was lost, Song Huan couldn't help but frown.
Is it possible that we really want to find that old thief Shangguan Yi in person and ask him about the whereabouts of the "Dragon Bone Testament"?
It would be crazy if he could answer seriously!
Seeing that Song Huan's expression was not very good-looking, Jiang Lin could probably guess that this "Dragon Bone Suicide Note" must be something extremely important.
"Your Highness, although I don't know what this "Dragon Bone Suicide Note" is and I have never seen it, I know where Shangguan Yi hides important items."
"One is the mezzanine of the bed in his bedroom."
"The second is the bottom of the backyard pond!"
The news about Jiang Lin cheered up Song Huan!
"I have checked the mezzanine of the bed, and there is nothing!"
"As for the bottom of this pond..."
How to hide things in a pond?
Is it possible to drain all the water from this pond?
Jiang Lin quickly explained: "There is a small rockery beside the pond, and there is a black hole under the rockery. It is actually a secret door."
"Enter through the secret door, which leads directly to the bottom of the pond!"
"There is a darkroom there with many objects that Shangguan Yi has collected over the years."
"This "Dragon Bone Testament" might be hidden among these objects!"
