The moonlight rippled like water, and the dark night sky faded away from its dense color, becoming as thin as a piece of dark blue glass. The night cats in the streets meowed, which was in stark contrast to Lin Sui'an's voice.
Hua Yihuan looked at the girl in front of him quietly. She told the story of the case that shocked the entire Yangdu and Tang Dynasty a month ago with no expression on her face, as if she was just an irrelevant witness. Only when she mentioned the name Qi Yuansheng, Tong Tong Light occasionally has emotions flowing out.
"Qi Yuansheng said before he died that he and Dong Chao were both ants and were forced into a desperate situation. They could only exchange blood for blood and life for life. But Hua Yitang said that there must be other ways. However, Qi Yuansheng did not believe it." When Sui'an said this, he paused and said, "Qi Yuansheng doesn't believe it, but he doesn't believe it."
Hua Yihuan was silent.
"One Qi Yuansheng is like this, what will happen to ten Qi Yuansheng? What about a hundred? What about tens of thousands of Qi Yuansheng?" Lin Sui'an sighed and continued: "After Qi Yuansheng died, Hua Yitang sat in the house for three days, maybe , he had already made his decision at that time.”
"..."
"He just doesn't want more Qi Yuansheng to appear." Lin Sui'an said softly.
"Could it be that he really wants to 'justify the injustice within the sea'?" Hua Yihuan asked, "Ms. Lin, do you believe this childlike and innocent statement?"
When Hua Yihuan asked this question, his eyes were fixed on Lin Sui'an's expression, not missing any fluctuation.
Although he really didn't want to admit it, his playboy fourth brother did have a certain ability to recognize people, although he was inconsistent in everything. He wanted to see how the young lady in front of him, who was looked down upon by Shirou, would respond.
But Lin Sui'an did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked up at the night sky. The moonlight was shining in her dark pupils. Her expression was a little sad and nostalgic, as if she was looking through the distant sky to a more distant place.
Suddenly, Lin Sui'an laughed and said, "I don't believe it."
This answer was obviously not what Hua Yihuan had expected, and the dignified expression of the dignified head of the Hua family almost collapsed.
"Many things in the world are beyond the reach of human beings. There are countless unjust cases in the world. Not to mention just one person, even with the help of tens of millions of people and thousands of years, they can't do it." Lin Sui'an said with a smile, "But we still have to dream. Yes, what if it happens accidentally?"
Hua Yihuan: "..."
What kind of answer is that? !
"Actually, it doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. What matters is, Master Hua, do you believe in Hua Yitang?" Lin Sui'an asked back.
Hua Yihuan's face darkened: "He is a playboy. He only brags and curses and just eats, drinks and has fun. How can I believe that he can be an official?"
Lin Sui'an shook his head: "Master Hua, why do you have to deceive yourself? Is he an ordinary dude? Everything he did in the past three years as a dude, whether it was scolding or fighting or fighting with cocks, was all to restrain the Feng family. White animals exist. Over the years, why did Feng not restrain himself sooner or later, but only issued the ban three years ago? It was precisely because Hua Yitang, the number one dandy in Yangdu, came out of the blue, broke the distribution of power of Feng Yuyi's dandy group, and established a new dandy Order forced Feng to restrain himself."
Hua Yihuan's face turned darker.
Lin Sui'an: "Golden scales are not a thing in the pond. Master Hua, let him do it."
Hua Yihuan fell silent again, his brows as wrinkled as the skin of a bitter melon.
Lin Sui'an's mouth was dry as she spoke, and she drank two large glasses of cold water. She thought that she had performed her best today with utmost benevolence and righteousness. As for how much the Hua Family Master could listen, it all depended on Hua Yitang's luck.
After a long time, Hua Yihuan finally spoke: "If I don't agree, will you elope with Shiro?"
"Pfft -" Lin Sui'an spat out a mouthful of water, "Cough cough cough! Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings! Hua Yitang just wanted me to accompany him to Dongdu to participate in the examination."
Hua Yihuan's expression became more solemn, "Ms. Lin, do you agree?"
"I promised Master Hua that I will never go back on my promise," Lin Sui'an glanced at the wing and lowered his voice, "I will never have anything to do with Hua Yitang from now on -"
"I will pay one thousand gold to hire Lady Lin to escort Shiro to the Eastern Capital."
"!!"
Lin Sui'an half-opened her mouth, and the huge sum of one thousand gold slapped the second half of her sentence back.
Brother, what are you doing? In the afternoon, it was still the script of "I will give you 100 million to leave my brother", but a few hours later it was changed to the script of "I will give you 200 million to hire you as my brother's bodyguard"?
Seeing that Lin Sui'an didn't answer, Hua Yihuan added another sentence. "Add another thousand gold."
"Deal!" Lin Sui'an agreed, tears streaming down his face: It's not that I'm spineless, it's just that the other party gave me too much!
Hua Yihuan nodded, stood up, walked to the door of the wing, and said sternly: "Come out."
Hua Yitang went out with his fan covering half of his face, followed by Ling Zhiyan who looked embarrassed.
Hua Yihuan: "Is Silang determined to participate in the examination?"
After asking for a long time, Hua Yitang didn't answer. Turning around, Hua Yitang was staring at Lin Sui'an and smiling, and she was smiling like a spring breeze.
Lin Sui'an: "Hmm!"
Hua Yitang came back to his senses, cleared his throat, cupped his fist towards Hua Yihuan and said, "Yes."
Hua Yihuan sighed: "Then get ready."
"yes."
"It doesn't matter if you fail. With my Hua family's family background and financial resources, it won't be difficult to donate an official position to you."
"yes!"
"Follow me home."
"Okay!"
Hua Yitang happily greeted Lin Sui'an and Ling Zhiyan, and Peipianpidian followed Hua Yihuan out of the door. From a distance, the conversation between the two brothers was heard.
Hua Yihuan: "The Ling family has been able to rank among the five surnames and seven sects for hundreds of years. It is definitely not a good person. It is said that knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing the heart, Si Lang, don't believe that Liu Lang of the Ling family has thick eyebrows and big eyes and looks like a good person. Be careful of being deceived.”
Hua Yitang: "Brother, what are you talking about? How can Ling Liulang be as good-looking as me?"
Lin Sui'an was dumbfounded and glanced at Ling Zhiyan. The corners of Ling Sizhi's eyes twitched wildly, as if he wanted to spit out the fragrance. But because of the face of a century-old family, he could only hold back one sentence for a while: "I am also a Dali Temple Sizhi, and the head of the Hua family is actually Are you saying in front of me that you want to donate an official position to Hanashiro?"
Lin Sui'an: "It is indeed the style of their Hua family."
"..."
"By the way, Ling Sizhi, you said you had something to discuss with me before. What exactly was it?" Lin Sui'an asked.
Ling Zhiyan choked again and sighed quietly: "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal. It won't be too late to discuss it when Mrs. Lin arrives in Dongdu."
"Aren't you coming with us?"
Ling Zhiyan smiled helplessly and said, "I should go back a few days early to help Hanashiro submit the recommendation letter."
After saying this, Ling Zhiyan clasped her fists and left, but for some reason, her back looked rather melancholy.
Lin Sui'an suddenly realized it after thinking about it for a moment.
Her commission for escorting Hua Yitang to Dongdu was as high as two thousand gold, but Ling Zhiyan risked being demoted to guarantee Hua Yitang for only one thousand gold. It seems that Ling Zhiyan felt that the deal was a loss and she was a little unhappy.
The news that Yangdu's No. 1 dandy was going to Dongdu to participate in the Danri examination spread like wildfire. The people of Yangdu only took it as a joke, but it caused a sensation in the circle of friends of Yangdu dandies. The big and small dandies of Yangdu ran around like a revolving door. Watch the excitement in Huazhai. There is a lot of traffic and people in front of Huazhai every day.
Hua Yitang once again showed his subjective initiative as a playboy, simply opened the door and held a flowing banquet, and entertained her warmly. I heard that the flowing banquet was extremely luxurious and could be regarded as the masterpiece of Tang Dynasty cuisine. Of course, as Hua Yitang's fair-weather friends, all the dandies would not come empty-handed. They all prepared generous gifts for Hua Yitang to practice. After all, Hua's family made a handsome profit.
The flowing banquet lasted for three days. During this period, Lin Sui'an took a break and chose an auspicious day to visit Jin Ruo. Of course, she had specifically informed Hua Yitang of her plan before, so that the guy wouldn't cry and show his temper again.
Jin Ruo's home is on Qingxing Street in Lingxifang. There are apricot trees planted on both sides of the street. It is said that there is an apricot orchard in the street, so the streets are full of people selling dried apricot preserves.
When Lin Sui'an knocked on Jin Ruo's door with half a catty of dried apricots, Jin Ruo was very disgusted.
"I've long been tired of eating dried apricots."
Lin Sui'an: "I ate this myself."
"..."
"What are you here for?"
"Don't you want Qian Jing?"
Instead of showing any joy, Jin Ruo looked wary and reluctantly welcomed Lin Sui'an through the door. Jin Ruo's house is not big, even smaller than the yard that Lin Sui'an rents. It is no different from ordinary people's houses. If there is any special feature, it is that the one who cooks in the kitchen is Jingmen. The Hu elders raised their flags.
Zhang Qi was very happy to see Lin Sui'an, and warmly invited Lin Sui'an to have lunch with him. Jingmen is indeed a sect that established itself as a snack stall. The craftsmanship is really outstanding, and it is not inferior to the likes of Furonglou. Lin Sui'an After happily eating two large bowls, Jin Ruo looked at her with eyes that could no longer be called kind.
Jin Ruo: "You're just here to make a living, right?"
Lin Sui'an: "Hua Yitang is going to Dongdu to participate in the imperial examination."
"The head of the Hua family offered you two thousand gold to protect him, and also used one thousand gold to buy Ling Zhiyan as his protector."
Lin Sui'an was very satisfied. Talking to Jin Ruo would save effort, so he could skip the introduction and go straight to the point.
"I'll pay you three hundred gold to hire you to go on the road with us."
"Three, three, three, three hundred gold?! Invite me?!" Jin Ruo's voice rose an octave, and then he realized that he was a little embarrassed, and coughed dryly, "You, you, who do you look down on -"
Lin Sui'an: "Four hundred gold."
Zhang Qi took a breath, and Jin Ruo started to stutter, "Four hundred... I, I, I, I, the dignified young master of the Jingmen, how can I, how can I bend my waist for five buckets of rice——"
"Five hundred gold."
"..."
Zhang Qi winked at Jin Ruo desperately.
Jin Ruo tried his best to maintain his expression, "This, this, this, this, this, is not about money!"
Lin Sui'an: "I will teach you the Ten Pure Sets on the way."
Jin Ruo: "!!"
"Our previous agreement is still valid. As long as you can defeat me, Qian Jing will give you to you with both hands."
"..."
Zhang Qi couldn't sit still, "Young Master, can you please take a step to speak."
Jin Ruo, who looked confused, was pulled away. The two of them were muttering in the room and didn't know what to say. Lin Sui'an was not in a hurry at all. The price she offered was tempting enough, and she also added the bait of Shi Jing Ji. , I’m not afraid that Jin Ruo won’t be tempted.
Sure enough, in just a cup of tea, the two came out, sat across from each other, and had a formal meeting.
Zhang Qi: "Ms. Lin wants to hire an information cafe in Jingmen."
Lin Sui'an: "Yes."
"I'll tell you something ugly earlier. Even if the young sect master goes on the road with you, all news about cleaning the sect will be charged on a per-item basis, one item at a time, and no credit is allowed."
"It's natural."
Anyway, let Hua Yitang pay when the time comes. Lin Sui An said.
Jin Ruo: "The skills in the Shijingji must be taught to everyone!"
"no problem."
Elder Zhang: "How do you plan to pay the five hundred gold?"
Lin Sui'an smiled and said, "When we set out tomorrow, please ask Elder Zhang to go to Huazhai to pick it up."
After coming out of Jin Ruo's house, Lin Sui'an was in a good mood, carrying dried apricots and humming along the way. No wonder Hua Yihuan and Hua Yitang both like to throw money at people. It feels so good, especially with other people's money. Hitting people is simply more fun than ever.
In fact, Jin Ruo and the others were completely wrong. The fundamental reason why Lin Sui'an invited Jin Ruo was not because of Jingmen, but because Jin Ruo was proficient in trace science.
In just two months since she came to this world, she has experienced two major cases. Especially after meeting Hua Yitang, the difficulty of the case increased exponentially, coupled with her cheating golden finger-Lin Sui'an I just hope that it is really just a coincidence and not the "destroy" effect of Hua Yitang's "protagonist halo".
There is another point that is more urgent, that is, the "bloodthirsty" murderous nature contained in her body. If it cannot be solved as soon as possible, there is no guarantee that something big will happen one day. From the current point of view, Jin Ruo is the clue most closely connected with "Shi Jing Ji" and "Qian Jing", so you have to take him with you to feel at ease. Moreover, it is also an opportunity to teach Jin Ruo Shi Jing Ji. Jin Ruo is from the same school as her and is the best sparring partner. Through continuous trial and error training, she strives to incorporate the body's muscle memory into brain control as soon as possible to achieve the goal of "taming Qian Jing" .
The best thing is that neither Jin Ruo nor Zhang Qi expected that these are all free projects.
Lin Sui'an thought happily, and his pace became more and more cheerful. The gate of Chongyanfang was right in front of him. When he got home, he would take a nap and pack his luggage in the afternoon——
"Lin Shui'an!" There was a sudden shout from behind, and the wind of colorful fists roared towards him. Lin Sui'an suddenly tilted his head, shifted his body with his feet, rushed out with his right elbow, and hit a person hard on the back.
The man staggered back a few steps, his fists clenched in front of his chest, and ten gemstone rings shining brightly. But it's not the Persian boy Etta who "blinded people's eyes".
Lin Sui'an clicked his tongue and wiped his cheekbone with his thumb. Fortunately, it was just a little scratched.
"Lin Shui'an, seven or eight days are here, I'm here." Ita shouted.
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Good guy, haven't you forgotten this yet? :,,
