The girl didn't know whether it was cold or fear, she shrank all over.
Zou looked at her line of sight suspiciously, but saw nothing, "Where is there?"
The girl hesitated and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong..."
At this time, the sky was just getting brighter, and the light in the surrounding woods was still gray and unreal.
Zou was displeased. No matter how aggressive she was, she would still be afraid of something. "Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
Several people quickened their pace and rushed down the mountain in the direction of the carriage.
Fortunately, the journey was not far, and the group of people arrived in just half a stick of incense.
The boy was sitting on the shaft of the carriage driving the carriage, and Zou's mother and son took the girl into the carriage.
The horse stayed outside all night and had no fodder to eat. Now it was reluctant to move, snoring and a little restless. The boy waved his whip several times before the carriage accelerated onto the road. Go towards the official road. ..
"Whoosh" sound!
A cold light suddenly pierced through the woods, and the remaining snow on the branches was shaken by the cold murderous intent, bouncing into the pile of dead leaves.
Before the horse pulling the cart could accelerate, it was stabbed by something. It screamed in pain, raised its front hooves, and then rushed forward!
Even though the road down the mountain could accommodate a carriage, Crazy Horse rushed down the steep slope regardless of the direction.
The young man driving the car was so frightened that he pissed himself. He grabbed the horse's reins hard but it was useless.
He shouted subconsciously: "Help! Help!"
The people in the carriage hurriedly made no sound as the carriage rolled and fell down the steep slope.
The figure in the forest flashed out, it was Lin Yi.
He was holding a very small crossbow arrow in his hand. This kind of thing is not uncommon. Children usually follow adults when they go hunting in the mountains. They will use one to shoot for fun. It cannot shoot deer, but with good accuracy it can also be used to shoot rabbits.
He put away his hand/crossbow, walked to the edge of the steep slope, looked down, then found a low spot, slid down the slope, and looked for the place where the carriage fell.
Lin Yi had tampered with the carriage, and it fell into pieces after it fell down the hillside.
When Lin Yi came over, Ms. Zou's eyes were wide open, her neck had been broken, her head was hanging on the scattered shelves of the carriage, and she looked at Lin Yi who was walking over with a strange posture.
Lin Yi paused for a moment, then stepped forward.
Compared to before, his face was still the same, but his whole temperament and expression were completely different from before, and had undergone great changes. The ferocity in his eyes was like that of a murderer.
He glanced at the tragically dead Zou and looked forward.
The boy was stabbed in the chest by a broken piece of wood, and bright red blood was still flowing out of the wound. He was no longer breathing. Zou's girl fell to the side and was pressed by the beam of the carriage. It was obvious that she would not survive. .
"help me……"
A cry for help suddenly reached Lin Yi's ears. Lin Yi suddenly turned around and walked in the direction of the sound.
Lin Ji was lying on the ground with his eyes half open, his forehead was bruised and bloody. When he saw Lin Yi coming over, he raised his arms with all his strength: "Second brother...save..."
Lin Yi's heart was beating wildly. He looked at the dying Lin Ji and sneered, "When did you ever think of me as your second brother?"
Lin Ji suddenly understood something when he heard this, and his eyes slowly opened wide.
Lin Yi gritted his teeth and lifted a stone from the side, "Go to hell!"

The sky had turned dark, and the sky that had been clear for more than half a month was suddenly filled with dense clouds. The moon desperately tried to tear a hole in it and get out, but in vain, it could only drift brightly and darkly behind the clouds.
Li Qingyi was dining with Princess Yuanheng at Jinhua Courtyard. Chang Lan came in with a strange look on his face, "Girl, Lin Ji is dead."
Li Qingyi paused with his chopsticks and said in shock: "Dead? Wasn't Song Yang beaten to death?"
Yesterday she also said that as long as no one was killed, it would be no big deal.
As a result, Lin Yi died today?
Changlan also wanted to say, "Girl, you have a bit of a crow's mouth." She shook her head and said, "Lin Ji didn't go back all night last night. The Lin family thought he had gone somewhere to hide. But this morning, the nun from the nunnery came to the Lin family. Reported that Zou was missing. Only then did the Lin family realize that Lin Ji might have gone to find Zou."
"Where else can the Zou family go? At most, they can take Lin Ji back to the Zou family."
Changlan nodded, "According to the guarding nun, Zou gave her some money and asked her to help delay the time, and took Lin Ji down the mountain early in the morning. The Lin family searched all the way and found traces of the carriage falling down the hillside. When I went down and took a look, I saw that the man was dead a long time ago and was as cold as stone."
"Is it an accident?"
"Does the girl think it's an accident?"
Li Qingyi frowned, "If it was an accident, it would be too unlucky. Some people will definitely say that Song Yang did it, but it is definitely not him. That guy Song Yang seems unreliable, but he still acts in a measured way."
Chang Lan guessed, "Could someone want to kill Zou?"
Princess Yuanheng said: "Is it Wei Baozhu?"
If the Zou family hadn't forced her, Lin wouldn't have done what she did later by any means. The instigator simply sent her to a nunnery to think about her mistakes, which was indeed a bit advantageous to her.
But after Lin's death, the Wei family no longer wanted to interfere with the Lin family's affairs, and they did not deliberately embarrass the Zou family.
It's just that Wei Baozhu, as Lin's daughter, may not want to let Zou go.
"But Wei Baozhu has always been under our noses. If she does anything, we will definitely find out." Li Qingyi put down his chopsticks, "How did the Lin family react?"
"Lin Wenye naturally cried endlessly after his son died. He kept claiming that Lin Ji was the only seedling of the Lin family. This time it was better, the only seedling was gone. The old Marquis of Nanning was really sad because of the death of his grandson. Mr. Lin should be investigating at this time Regarding this matter, Lin Wenye made a fuss to find Song Yang, but he stopped him."
Li Qingyi said "tsk", "Ms. Zou has stayed in the nunnery for such a long time, and there are plenty of opportunities to kill her. Moreover, Wei Baozhu has been very nervous recently. I don't think she will cause trouble at this time. If I were her, Even if you want to kill the Zou family, you will have to wait until you get married. At that time, with the support of the Fourth Prince and no control from the Wei family, it will be much easier to do whatever you want."
"What does that girl mean, is someone trying to kill Lin Ji? He's just a loser, what's the point of killing him?"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "Then I don't know. Let's wait and see how Lin Shengyuan investigates."
*****
Nanning Hou Mansion.
The Lin family members all gathered in the hall. Lin Shengyuan sat under Mr. Lin, looking at everyone.
Lin Wenye cried so hard that his wife and son died.
On weekdays, he always thought that Zou was noisy and talked about He Li all day long. When something happened, he thought of Zou's good fortune.
The three people in the second room sat opposite him, expressionless.
The second master, Lin Dongxing, spends all his time hanging out with his concubines. He has nothing in common with his wife-disciplined brother. Since his son Lin Yi became a disabled person, Lin Wenye has been treating Lin Ji as the "only child" of the Lin family, which is very annoying. The relationship between the second and third bedrooms once reached a freezing point.
Now that something like this happened, in Lin Dongxing's eyes, it was too much, and it was a bad retribution.
The second wife, Mrs. Zhao, looked haggard, and Lin Yi was also lifeless. The mother and son looked as if they had just been dug out of the coffin, lifeless.
What was left was a group of aunts and concubines, exchanging glances with each other in private and occasionally muttering a few words.
Lin Shengyuan and his wife looked at everyone present and felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
