Liniang thought for a while and finally plucked up the courage to ask, "May I ask, sir, why do those thieves keep chasing my medical clinic?"
Lu Linjian was choked for a moment, thinking about how to respond to her. If more people knew, it would be more dangerous.
He just said, "They are thieves from outside. They are looking for revenge. They mistook your families as enemies." After saying that, they walked out.
Liniang didn't want to sit still and wait for death any longer, so she followed his pace, "Master, I want to check it out with you."
Lu Linjian paused for a moment, but did not refuse after thinking about it.
I don't know if those thieves will harm anyone else, but just in case, I still take them with me and take Liniang back to the inn.
Mr. Pei and the others had returned to the inn after Lu Linjian and the others were done. At this time, they saw that the master had brought back a beautiful girl, but both of them looked not very good. For a while, several of his men were surprised and did not dare to speak. Several of them looked at each other in confusion. .
Lu Linjian saw what they were thinking and said, "The little girl from the medical center, until their whereabouts are not found out, something may go wrong, so she will be placed in our inn first."
Several people answered "Yes." But they were still a little confused, when did the master become so nosy...
Liniang saluted them, then turned to Lu Linjian and said thank you, "Thank you, sir."
Lu Linjian looked at her and nodded. Now that a letter came from the officials in Kyoto, it was time to ask about Yingnan. Just as Lu Linjian was about to reply, he turned around and went to the second floor.
Pei An looked at the little lady and saw that Liniang's eyes and expression were as lively as if she could speak. Master will not... No, no, our master will never get close to a woman.
The little lady from the Wang family was just as pretty, running to the Lu Mansion every day, and her master didn't even look at her.
Pei Gan led Liniang to ask the servant to clean up a room on the second floor. Pei Gan liked gossip, had a cheerful temperament, and liked to socialize. After taking Liniang to the second floor, he asked, "Girl, I My name is Pei Gan, if you need anything, just call me, I don’t know how to call you yet.”
Liniang replied, "My surname is Li and my name is Yuhuai. If you don't see me outside, just call me Liniang."
"Hey, okay, Liniang, I heard from Mo Shu that my master was treated for poisonous injuries by a woman from a medical center when he entered the county. Should it be you?" "Yes."
Pei An secretly thought that the connection was not shallow. He wanted to talk more details, but seeing the tired look on the young lady's face, he did not hesitate to ask more questions, so he said, "Girl, you should have a good rest, I will leave first."
Liniang thanked her and entered the pavilion.
Lying on the bed, I felt a little melancholy, but it was not enough to make me fall asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already afternoon. The surroundings were quiet, and it started to rain outside. Liniang felt flustered for no reason. It was also a rainy day when her father and mother were killed.
The same sound of dripping rain, the patter of rain and the screams of father and mother, mixed with the smell of medicine and blood seemed to be on the tip of the nose again.
Liniang was so flustered that she didn't even put on her shoes or socks. She hurriedly opened the door to see what was going on outside, frightening Lu Linjian and the others at the door.
Lu Linjian was also on the second floor. He came out to discuss with Mo Shu. Before Mo Shu opened his mouth, he saw this young lady suddenly opening the door and coming out. She was as frightened as a bird. She didn't even wear shoes or socks. She saw them at the door. , stunned there, not knowing what to say.
Lu Linjian frowned and said, "Why is it so urgent?"
Liniang had also come to her senses, "No, I'm fine, but I surprised you young masters."
"It doesn't matter, you haven't eaten yet, Pei An, give it to the lady..."
Liniang interrupted quickly, "No, no, I'm not hungry."
Looking at Mo Shu, he asked, "But is there any news?"
Mo Shu was talking about this. At this moment, he glanced at his master and Lu Linjian motioned for him to continue.
Mo Shu said, "At noon, some people in Tongxuan Lane identified the thief's body and said they had seen it at the end of Tongxuan Lane. Should we go check it out?"
Lu Linjian hummed and went downstairs to order the men, preparing to go to Tongxuan Lane to have a look in person.
Liniang didn't say anything, just followed him eagerly, Tongxuan Lane? There are many people there, and many poor families in Yingnan live there. There are many houses but small land, which does not arouse suspicion. Those thieves are really good at picking places.
Liniang was thinking about something, but she didn't expect that the person in front of her stopped suddenly and bumped into his back. Her nose hurt, so she took a step back.
Lu Linjian saw that she was so reckless and not as nimble as he had seen her before. Her parents had suffered a disaster, and she was afraid that she would be sad and had not eaten, so why not let her stay here, so he said, "Are you going too?" Not afraid?"
Liniang secretly thought that this person might have seen her reckless behavior and disliked her clumsiness for delaying their work. She hurriedly said, "I'm not afraid. Now I just want to find out the murderer of my father and mother as soon as possible."
Lu Linjian didn't want to stop him any longer. When the manpower was ready, he headed towards Tongxuan Lane.
There was still some rain falling outside, hitting the tips of Liniang's hair. Lu Linjian was in front of her, and she took a few steps at a time to keep up with them. Seeing her like this, Lu Linjian slowed down.
Mo Shu and the others were confused but did not dare to ask. When did the master change his gender? It was really strange. Why did he bring this little girl with him when he went out to investigate.
A few people quickly entered Jiuyun Lane. Mo Shu found the door according to what the people said. The door was locked. If they hadn't come to check, everyone would have thought that this was a house that someone was waiting to rent out.
Mo Shu pried open the lock, and several people went in on alert. Inside was a small farmhouse, with only a few traces of people living inside. There were still ashes of burned letters in the courtyard, and everything was neatly tidied up.
Several people searched and reported to Lu Linjian, "Master, I'm afraid he left two days ago after seeing such a scene."
Lu Linjian somewhat expected this result. Ask Mo Shu and others to go to the houses around this house to ask for clues.
After a while, Mo Shu came with a man and said, "This man works in the middle of the night. He said he met him that day. Come on, tell yourself." Liniang stood beside Lu Linjian and looked at him.
The man was a little frightened when he saw such a big situation, but he still trembled and said, "At the fourth watch in the middle of the night, I was going to call here when I saw a group of men in black climbing over the wall and walking out of the alley along the wall."
Lu Linjian asked, "In which direction did they go? Can you clearly see the appearance of those thieves?"
Seeing Lu Linjian's aura and so many people around him looking at him, the man was worried about endangering his life and fearing that those people would seek revenge. He hesitated and did not dare to speak. Pei Jian said urgently, "Speak quickly!"
Liniang stepped forward and consoled her, "Uncle Liu, I recognize you as the one who works the watch. I am Liniang, the daughter of the Li Family Medical Center. You should also recognize me. Don't be surprised. We will not harm your life. We just want to Find those thieves as soon as possible."
Seeing that his acquaintance had the courage to come back a little bit, the man recognized Liniang and knew that she was the daughter of the wise doctor who had been injured. He no longer concealed it and "went outside the county north intersection. His appearance... the person taking the lead seemed to be No left ear.”
Mo Shu was surprised, "No left ear? Did you read that wrong?"
The man replied, "You are absolutely right. After seeing them, I hid in the corner on the other side and took a peek. I saw that the leader had a cloth wrapped around his left ear. Somehow the cloth fell off and he bent down to pick it up. I knew clearly. It’s clear that he really doesn’t have a left ear.”
