When Su Lin and the others left the gate of Washington, half of Hua Tianfeng's face appeared behind the door. "They didn't notice anything."
"No, I told Young Master Su exactly as the eldest young master ordered me to do, without leaking any flaws." The maid who was talking carefully to Su Lin seemed to be a different person now, and said to Hua Tianfeng charmingly.
"Okay, let them have a headache, hehehe..." Hua Tianfeng let out a deep laugh and slowly returned to Washington.
Su Lin and the others were walking back to the Penal Department Yamen, and he didn't say much. After walking for a while, Zhu Guangtian couldn't help but said.
"Mr. Lin, I feel that something is wrong with Hua Tianfeng. His own brother died and he didn't show any sadness at all. He even looked a bit gloating."
Li Chen also answered, "Yes, I feel that he is very abnormal. Although this person looks upright, when he speaks, he feels like the cold wind blowing in the twelfth lunar month, which is a bit chilling. Is it like you said? Yes, he found someone to kill Hua Shaoqing."
Su Lin smiled when he heard this and said, "Actually, I don't blame you for thinking so, but it is unlikely that he will find someone to kill Hua Shaoqing. There must be differences between their brothers, but Hua Tianfeng is a smart man, if He found someone to kill Hua Shaoqing. If his father finds out, he will definitely be crippled. Sibling fratricide is always taboo."
Su Lin paused for a moment and then continued, "When you were looking for Hua Shaoqing's things just now, his maid told me that Hua Shaoqing had a fierce quarrel with his second brother some time ago. Hua Tianfeng is really a good man. He didn't tell me, but sent Hua Shaoqing's maid to tell me, but the performance was a bit clumsy."
Zhu Guangtian asked, "Mr. Lin, how do you know that Hua Tianfeng asked the maid to tell you those words?"
"Think about it, if she, a maid, had no one to back her up, she would dare to tell me these things. People in this kind of family are very cautious in doing things. She, a little maid, talks about the master's affairs without fear of being punished by the master. Her? She told me that it was Hua Shaoting and Hua Shaoqing who quarreled. If we investigated Hua Shaoting, who would be happiest? It’s just that Hua Tianfeng sent a maid to talk about it and exposed himself. "
Zhu Guangtian nodded, "Well, Mr. Lin, where should we start investigating next? Should we keep an eye on people in Washington?"
"That's not necessary. Hua Shaoqing's death has little to do with the people inside the Washington government. Their brothers can fight if they want. We shouldn't use this as a weapon. Go back to the Yamen first and read Hua Shaoqing's letter."
When they arrived at the Yamen, Zhu Guangtian and Li Chen began to read Hua Shaoqing's letters, while Su Lin kept reading the Chronicle of Central Continent over and over again. He always felt that there was something wrong with this book, but he couldn't pinpoint it.
So he handed the book to Li Chen, "Look at this book. I think this book is weird, but I read it several times and found no problems."
Li Chen took the book and read it twice, but found no problems. He scratched his head and said, "Mr. Lin, I think there is nothing wrong with this book. It is just a normal book."
Su Lin received the message "Does a normal book that can be found everywhere need to be kept by Hua Shaoqing in such a good box? This book must have a special meaning, but we haven't discovered it yet. I have a feeling that if we can discover From the secrets in the book, we can also know the secret of Hua Shaoqing’s murder.”
"Real or false." Zhu Guangtian raised his head when he heard this, took the book and started to read it. While reading, he muttered, "What's there? What's there?" Su Lin was both angry and angry. funny.
Suddenly Zhu Guangtian said "Hey", "Why does this book have to be folded every few pages? The folds are too deep."
Hearing this, Su Lin hurriedly took the book and found that there was a crease on every few pages. He cursed in his heart for not noticing any small details.
Su Lin carefully observed the creased pages and found that there were light scratches under some words in these places.
"This is a spy war drama, and there is a password." He muttered, and Zhu Guangtian heard him ask him, "Mr. Lin, what is a spy war drama?"
"It's nothing. Have you looked at the scratched places? Copy these words and see if you can find anything. Li Chen, you continue to check his letters to see if there is anything special."
Zhu Guangtian copied those words, so why didn't Su Lin copy them himself? You must know that Young Master Su has come from time and space. If he is asked to write pen calligraphy, he will still be careless. If he is asked to write calligraphy with brush, it will be too ugly to read. Young Master Su wants to save face, and he must not do such a thing to discredit himself. Although the handwriting of Zhu Guangtian and Li Chen was also not good-looking, Su Lin adhered to the principle that dead Taoist friends should not die of poor Taoists, so they were allowed to do embarrassing things.
Su Lin couldn't help but sigh when he looked at those ugly words, but Zhu Guangtian didn't know it yet and felt that his handwriting was quite good. Su Lin silently chanted in his mind not to force it, and focused on the words themselves.
There were not many words, about fifty or sixty, and Su Lin used countless methods to form them into suitable words. In the end, he only came up with two sentences: "The messenger has arrived, see you soon." "Is there anything unusual in the court?"
Su Lin's head went numb when he saw these two sentences, and Zhu Guangtian also took a breath of cold air, "What does this kid want to do? Organize a cult? Or rebel?"
The Daqing Dynasty had a zero-tolerance attitude towards private churches, and those who were found to have been punished as heretical cults that deceived people and conspired to rebel. Judging from the two sentences deciphered in Hua Shaoqing's book, this possibility is very high.
At this time, Li Chen also made a discovery: "Master Lin, come and see, these letters are all sent from Qizhou."
Su Lin took the letters and looked at them one by one. It was written in these letters that Hua Shaoqing opened a pawnshop and restaurant in Qizhou, and they were sent to him for reconciliation.
"Hua Shaoqing is in the capital. How come he has done all his business in Qizhou? Does he have any business in the capital?"
"I don't know about this yet, I'll check it out." Zhu Guangtian replied.
"Okay, this matter needs to be investigated as soon as possible. It's getting late, so let's do this for today. I'll leave first." Su Lin greeted the two of them and then left the Yamen.
Ma San was waiting at the door when he saw Su Lin coming out and asked, "Master, can you go home today?"
"If you don't come back, we have something to investigate at Wanhua Building."
So Ma San led the horse and followed Su Lin to Wanhua Building. Su Lin went in and went directly to Yiyi's room. Yiyi saw Su Lin coming and stood up to greet him, "Young Master is here, are you still leaving tonight?"
Su Lin stretched out his hand and pulled Yiyi into his arms. "I'm not leaving. I have something to ask you today, so I'll spend the night here. Prepare some food for me. I've been busy all day and I'm hungry."
Yiyi threw away Su Lin's hand a little unhappy, "It turns out that the young master didn't leave because he came to ask me something. It's not that he misses Yiyi. Since that's the case, the young master should ask quickly. Yiyi doesn't dare to waste the young master's time."
Su Lin was a little dumbfounded, this girl had quite a temper. However, Mr. Su is also a caring person and is not angry. As a veteran of Hua Cong, he knows that this is a girl seeking attention, so he approaches with a smile, "It's all my fault. I said the wrong thing. In fact, I am I came here because I missed you."
Yiyi still refused, turned around and said, "Then you wanted to ask me something when you came up. I'm hungry. I think you care more about your case than me."
Su Lin hugged her from behind and said, "How could it happen? Yiyi is very important in my heart and I love you too. Don't think too much about it." As he spoke, he blew into Yiyi's ear. Yiyi couldn't stand it anymore, she said "嘤~" and her face turned red. "Sir, don't be like this, let go, there are still people here."
Su Lin smiled evilly and said, "I'm not afraid of someone. I just want to show her how much I love my little Yiyi."
The maid blushed at this scene and ran out of the room to prepare food and drinks for Su Lin.
Yiyi broke away from Su Lin's arms and pulled Su Lin to sit down with a blushing face. She said softly, "Sir, stop making trouble. Yiyi was just joking with you. I'm very happy that the master can come to see Yiyiyi. How could this happen?" If you are angry with Young Master, just ask Young Master if you have anything to say."
Su Lin's face straightened and he asked, "Yiyi, do you know anything about Hua Shaoqing?"
Yiyi thought for a while, "I have only heard of Mr. Hua from Tian Xiang. According to Tian Xiang, he is quite generous. Every time he comes, he gives her as little as a few hundred taels and as much as a thousand taels of silver. He even gives her the maid next to her." I got a lot of benefits, and she didn’t say anything else.”
Su Lin asked again, "How much do you know about Tianxiang? Besides Hua Shaoqing, who else often orders her?"
"I don't know much about Tianxiang. I only know that she was sold here since she was a child. Her family seems to be from Qizhou. She has a rather withdrawn personality. Apart from saying a few words to me, she doesn't interact much with others. Yes. There are quite a few people ordering her, but I don't care. I once asked her, since Mr. Hua gave her so much money every time he came here, and she usually received guests, had she ever thought about redeeming herself. She just said she didn’t know where to go to redeem herself, and she didn’t want to go back to her hometown in Qizhou. It’s good to stay here now, and she didn’t say anything else to me.”
Su Lin pondered after listening to Yiyi's words. He now felt that something was wrong with this Tianxiang. A good girl has money to redeem herself. If she doesn't redeem herself, she insists on staying in the brothel. This is very abnormal. No girl would want to do this to herself. So if that's the case, does she deliberately want to stay here to get close to someone, or does she have some other purpose? Is the person she wants to get close to Hua Shaoqing? If not, who could it be? Or is the goal not achieved, or is there someone behind the scenes who is manipulating her, forcing her to do this...
Su Lin's thoughts were scattered and he had a headache. Yiyi held her chin up and looked at him. She had to admit that Su Lin was quite handsome. Yiyi was a little crazy looking at him for a while.
Su Lin retracted his thoughts and turned to look at Yiyi. "What's wrong? I have flowers on my face and you are staring at me like this." This sentence made Yiyi blush and whispered.
"No, I just watched the young master being obsessed with his thoughts, and I didn't dare to disturb him. What's going on with the young master? Do you have any clues?"
Su Lin shook his head, "No, the matter is too complicated. I can't figure out the reason yet. I won't think about it for today. Let's eat something and take a rest early."
Yiyi blushed again after hearing such explicit words, thinking to herself, "Young Master is becoming less and less ashamed now."
After a while, the food was served. After Su Lin and Yiyi ate, they took a mandarin duck bath with her, and then he couldn't wait to pull Yiyi to the bed.
Su Lin had never touched a woman since time travel due to physical reasons, but he was overwhelmed. Now that he is in good health and has a beautiful woman by his side, the red candles swayed that night and the sound of the bed continued until dawn.
