The more Lin Wan listened, the more he felt that things were not simple, Zhou Tianhong's plan of killing three birds with one stone was really clever, not only almost killing Zhou Tianqi's life, solving the big trouble of his henchman Wu Heng, but also removing Zhou Tianqi's right-hand man Li Ping.

Lin Wan pondered for a moment and asked, "What happened last night, and why was Li Ping on trial?"

"After the Seven Princes were out of danger last night, Li Ping returned to the base camp of the Yulin Army, and Wang Long, another deputy general, led two teams of the Yulin Army to patrol in the east and west directions. Changxing Building and Wu Mansion are both on Dongzheng Street, and Li Ping is in charge of patrolling. But when the fire broke out in Changxinglou and Wufu in the second half of last night, Li Ping's team was near Wangfu Street in the west, and by the time he led the team to Dongzheng Street, the fire had already spread to the surrounding neighbors. Gale paused and continued: "Feng Qizheng, the commander of the Yulin Army, rushed to the scene in the middle of the night last night, and after learning about the situation, he immediately tied up Li Ping and handed him over to the Criminal Department for review. According to Li Ping's defense, he received Wang Long's request for support at that time and went to Xiwangfu Street, but when he arrived at Xiwangfu Street, he did not see Wang Long's army, and it was too late to rush back when he saw the fire. However, Wang Long said that he did not send anyone to ask for support, and he searched the Yulin army and did not find the small soldiers who reported the news at that time. ”

Lin Wan frowned and asked, "What will happen to him if he can't find evidence that he was framed?"

Gale shook his head and said, "That little soldier may have been killed a long time ago, and even if his words are confirmed, he will inevitably be guilty of failing to investigate." ”

Lin Wan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know Li Ping's details?"

Gale nodded, and said: "Subordinates have checked, Li Ping is twenty-three years old this year, originally from a peasant family in the south of the Yangtze River, when he was ten years old, because of the flood in his hometown, his parents and relatives passed away, he went to Fengming City alone to make a living, and then met the Qingsong people who gave him a martial arts cheats, he studied hard for eight years, and then came to the capital to take the martial arts test, and entered the Yulin Army to serve, martial arts are not weak, but he is stereotyped, not flattering. In the past five years, he has endured hardships and stood hard work, and has made a lot of military achievements, and he has been promoted from an ordinary soldier to a deputy general, but he is not reused by General Feng. This time, it was not easy to be valued by the Seven Princes, but this kind of thing happened. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly and asked, "Is there any origin of the Qingsong people?"

Gale replied: "The Qing Songsan man is also good and evil, his martial arts are not very strong, what he is best at is the use of poison, he never accepts apprentices, and he says that poison will not be passed on to anyone." just gave Li Ping an ordinary martial arts cheats, and occasionally instructed one or two, it is said that the reason why he took a fancy to Li Ping was because Li Ping would cook a good dish. ”

Lin Wan thought about it, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he ordered: "You can't let Zhou Tianhong be so leisurely, let people spread public opinion, and the prince kills people and kills people! Be careful not to show your feet, stop at the point, and let everyone guess." ”

"Yes, miss. "The gale led the way.

It was not early, Lin Wan left the west wing and hurried to the Cixin Hall. Lu Liu and Qing Tong were already waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw Lin Wan coming out, they hurriedly followed closely.

The weather was a little stuffy, and Lin Wan slowed down after walking for a while, thinking that he would rather be late than let himself sweat profusely in front of everyone.

Merlin's plums are already ripe, looking at the green and round plums, Lin Wan suddenly became happy, reached out and picked one, took out the silk handkerchief, wiped it carefully, and then tentatively took a small bite, and instantly the little face was wrinkled, and spit out a small piece of sour plum flesh in his mouth under the plum tree on the side of the road, and turned his head to see Qingtong and Luliu were turning their backs, their shoulders trembling slightly.

Lin Wan secretly rejoices that she didn't bring Fluttershy with her, otherwise she would have laughed at herself blatantly. Lin Wanzheng was embarrassed, and suddenly heard a chuckle from behind him, and it was a man's voice.

Lin Wan turned his head and saw Lin Zhihuai walking towards him, followed by the third son, Lin Ruiqi, and a strange man of sixteen or seventeen. Lin Zhihuai looked at Lin Wan with a serious face, frowning, and obviously saw that Lin Wanshi had no ladylike demeanor at all. Lin Ruiqi also looked disgusted, as if Lin Wan had lost his face.

And the man, dressed in a cyan robe, dressed as a scholar, with a slender figure, red lips and white teeth, clear eyebrows, was looking at Lin Wan with bright eyes, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he did not hide it.

Lin Wan frowned and glared at the man, turned sideways slightly, curtsied at Lin Zhihuai, and said, "Father." ”

Lin Zhihuai nodded and said, "Wan'er, this Xing Gongzi is a candidate for the autumn exam, and his writing is quite good, and he has been voted for his father, so you can also get to know him." ”

The man clenched his fists in a proper manner and said, "Xiaosheng Shandong Xinghan, I have seen Miss Lin Qi." ”

Lin Wan also bowed his knees and saluted back: "I've seen Xing Gongzi." ”

Lin Zhihuai and the others saw the ceremony, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's go." After speaking, he took the lead in the direction of the Compassion Hall.

Lin Ruiqi followed closely behind Lin Zhihuai, but Xing Han turned sideways and asked Lin Wan to go first. Lin Wan nodded slightly and walked forward slowly. Xing Han was half a step behind and followed Lin Wan's side.

Followed by a stranger, Lin Wan felt very awkward in her heart. But after walking for a while, Xing Han didn't speak, and his sense of presence was minimized. Gradually, Lin Wan also relaxed.

After entering the Hall of Compassion, everyone had already arrived, and they greeted each other, greeted each other, and praised each other. Xing Han had already lived in the outer courtyard of the Lin Mansion two days ago, so everyone knew each other, and it seemed that he was still very popular. Especially Mrs. Lin, looking at Xing Han's eyes, she was full of satisfaction, and she looked at Lin Qinglan's face from time to time.

Lin Qinglan looked shy, obviously understood what Old Madam Lin meant, and secretly glanced at Xing Han several times, but did not get a response.

When eating, they still ate at separate tables, but after eating a meal, Mrs. Lin found that several granddaughters did not belong. Only Lin Wan concentrated on eating, and had no other thoughts.

After dinner, Lin Zhihuai took Xing Han and Lin Ruiqi to the study, and Lin Wan and the others also went back to their own courtyards.

"Seventh sister. Lin Qinglan stopped Lin Wan.

Lin Wan turned around, saw that Lin Qinglan wanted to speak and stopped, she already understood that she had something to say to herself in private, smiled slightly, and said, "It's still early, the third sister will accompany me to Bihu Pavilion to sit down." ”

Lin Qinglan was very happy to see Lin Wan so cooperative, and walked forward affectionately, taking Lin Wan's hand and walking towards Bihu Pavilion together.

At the edge of the Bihu Pavilion, the willows brush the shore, the trees are shady, and the afterglow of the remnant sun is obliquely reflected on the turquoise lake. The surface of the lake is sparkling, and occasionally fish emerge from the lake, rippling in circles of golden ripples.

Lin Wan and Lin Qinglan sat opposite each other in the Bihu Pavilion, Lin Qinglan was silent for a long time, and Lin Wan was not in a hurry, quietly enjoying the beautiful sunset.

"Seventh sister, I know that before, my aunt and we did a lot of things to be sorry for you, I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just want you to give us a chance to atone for our sins. Lin Qinglan finally spoke, her eyes full of remorse and expectation. (To be continued.) )
