The hall of the Lin family is brightly lit, and the practice banquet for the head of the family and the county lord is being held. Lin Juelai also left in a hurry, and he didn't stay for a few days, which made Lin Boyong and the others feel very hasty. However, they also understood that Lin Jue couldn't stay long.

First, Lin Jue left Beijing in the name of handling a case, and it has been almost two months since then, and it is not very similar if he does not return to Beijing. The second is that the little county lord has been pregnant for more than seven months, and he can't delay any longer. If you delay any longer, your belly will get bigger and bigger, and you will no longer be able to travel long distances. Moreover, it is almost May, and the hurricane season is coming, and once the hurricane comes, the body of the little county lord will not be able to withstand the wind and waves on the canal.

Lin Jue said that in order to avoid a delay of ten days, he would leave early tomorrow morning. Tonight, I will send the little county lord and some luggage to the palace together. The little princess stayed in the palace for one night and talked to her mother about herself. Tomorrow morning, I will go directly from the palace to the prince's dragon-headed ship. I and the little tiger girl went directly to the dock to board the boat in the morning. There is no need to disturb everyone in the family to get up early in the morning to send each other off.

Since Lin Jue said so, Lin Boyong could only agree. He felt that Lin Jue didn't want to delay everyone's affairs. The ship and the family are very busy, and the head of the house is also watching, so he doesn't want the family affairs to be affected. Moreover, even the ships returning to Beijing used the dragon-headed ship of the palace, and they did not need to be dispatched from the ship, which reflected Lin Jue's original intention of thinking about the Lin family. Lin Boyong was very approving. So he proposed to practice it for Lin Jue at night, and he couldn't have no rules at all.

The banquet ended at the beginning of the shift, Lin Boyong wanted to pull Lin Jue to talk, but Lin Jue was in a hurry to send the little county lord to the palace, and Lin Boyong had to give up. After returning to the small courtyard, Xiaohu and a few maids packed up their things, set up two carriages, and Lin Jue personally accompanied them to send the little county lord to the palace. The princess came out to take the little princess to the back hall, and tomorrow the daughter will leave, and the mother and daughter will talk in the same bed at night.

Lin Jue didn't leave immediately, although Guo Bing had already slept in the side concubine's room, Lin Jue still went to see him, and said a low word at the head of the bed, and then said goodbye and left the palace.

When I returned to the Lin family, it was already the second watch. Bai Bing sat neatly dressed under the lamp and waited, and when he saw Lin Jue coming back, he got up and said, "Is everything ready?" Let's go. ”

Lin Jue smiled: "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait. ”

Bai Bing smacked his lips and said, "I can't sit still, I'm anxious to wait." ”

Lin Jue hugged her, rolled to the bed and said with a smile: "Take a nap for a while, and you will do it in the middle of the night." The time has to be pinched just right. Be patient in doing things. ”

Bai Bing twisted her body and rolled her eyes, Lin Jue kissed her a few times and hugged her tightly. Bai Bing was helpless, so he had to lie down patiently with Lin Jue. Bai Bing couldn't sleep, but Lin Jue fell asleep soon after. Bai Bing, who was bored, looked at Lin Jue's sleeping face and thought: I'm afraid this person is a pig, he is about to do something big, who is he?

The waiting time was extremely long, and Bai Bing finally counted Lin Jue's eyelashes in boredom, and when he counted to three hundred and fifty-six, there was a sound of three more leaks outside. Bai Bing jumped up and shouted, "Get up, get up, three watches." ”

Lin Jue was awakened and looked around blankly with a frown. Bai Bing said: "It's the third watch." ”

Lin Jue said with a bitter face: "Auntie, it's best to do it after half of the third watch." ”

Bai Bing shouted: "No, I can't wait, it's too painful." ”

Lin Jue was helpless and sighed: "That's it, the third watch is also done, you go and wake up Xiaohu, and I will change my clothes." ”

Bai Bing hurriedly went to the hut to wake up Xiaohu, Xiaohu looked dazed for a long time, and said to Lin Jue: "Uncle, it's still early, and there are still a few hours left in the morning." Do you want to go? ”

Lin Jue changed into a neat thin shirt, and said while tying his belt: "Xiaohu, we have to go on errands." Explain one thing to you, and you can't make mistakes. ”

Xiaohu was stunned and said, "Doing something? Right now? ”

Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "After we leave for a while, you will set up a car and wait for us under the wooden archway at the north entrance of Zhonghe Street." Whatever happens, you have to wait until we do. ”

Lin Hu nodded blankly and said, "Uncle, what is this for?" ”

Lin Jue said: "Save people." You also know about Gu Panpan and Chu Xiangxiang. Don't ask anything else, just do as I tell you. Remember, the big car with the logo of my Lin family boat company on the body, understand? ”

"Huh? Wouldn't it be known that it was our Lin family's carriage? Lin Hu said in amazement.

Lin Jue frowned and said, "Don't ask you more, don't you listen?" ”

"Okay, I'll do it. Just you and Sister Bai Bing went to save people? Would you like to find a helper? Lin Hu still couldn't help but ask.

Lin Jue's face sank, and Lin Hu hurriedly said: "Come on, I'll shut up, don't worry, uncle, I will definitely answer there." ”

Lin Jue nodded, stood up and smiled at Bai Bing, "Are you ready?" We're leaving. ”

Bai Bing glanced at him, turned around and lifted the curtain and walked out, Lin Jue followed with a smile, and soon the backyard door creaked, and the two had disappeared into the darkness.

The night was very quiet, and after the third watch, the hustle and bustle of the entire Hangzhou city basically subsided. The period from the third watch to the fifth watch is the most quiet time in Hangzhou. In addition to the footsteps of the occasional patrolling soldiers and horses on the street, the rest is the laughter and laughter at the Qinglou on Flower Street. Other than that, there was only the sound of the wind in the middle of the night.

The streets are empty under the swaying wind lamps, and the blue brick floor is full of pedestrians, cars and horses moving for a long time, and at this moment you can see a trail of cyan reflections in the faint light. There is no moon at the end of the month, and if there is a moonlit night, it will give the illusion of a stream meandering through the streets. Of course, the footsteps of people and the trajectory of chariots and horses are indeed like a river, and everyone walks on the river of their own life. Every step is a trace of the river of time.

Halfway through the third watch, in the dark shadow of the alley where the Qian Mansion on Donghe Street was located, two figures were meeting their heads in a whisper.

"Let's go around to the backyard fence, you climb over the wall and go in to get something, and I'll give you the wind outside." Lin Jue whispered.

"Okay, though, I forgot to tell you that there are dogs in the backyard. Go in for fear of being discovered by the dogs. Dogs are better than humans at night. Bai Bing said softly.

"Huh? Didn't say it sooner? Let's go in from the front yard. Tsk, no, there are dogs in the front yard, and I saw a big yellow dog that day. And there was an old servant who lived in front. Lin Jue smacked his lips.

Bai Bing chuckled and said, "Look at you, I've brought something to deal with dogs." Look, two meat buns, wrapped in poison. ”

Bai Bing was happy that he had made fun of Lin Jue, and the flowers and branches of silent laughter trembled. Lin Jue stared at her hatefully, and suddenly hugged her head and bit her mouth a few times as punishment.

Bai Bing blushed and broke free, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a fuss, let's hurry up." ”

The two of them came lightly to the outside of the backyard wall, Bai Bing straightened his clothes, covered his face with a black cloth, and said in a low voice: "I'm in." ”

Lin Jue nodded, and suddenly grabbed her and said, "You said that the secret room needs a key to open the door, right?" Have you ever thought you could get the key to open the door without waking them up? ”

Bai Bing frowned and thought about it, and suddenly reached out and made a movement to wipe his neck. Lin Jue almost burst out laughing. Bai Bing was moving closer to Gao Muqing, and he actually became ruthless.

"We're not here to kill, and they don't deserve to die. No, take this, light it up and blow it into the house, and the people in the tea kung fu will fall asleep. And it won't hurt anyone. Lin Jue took out a small paper bag and a thin bamboo pipe from his arms.

"Is this thing a mystery? How do you have this thing? My master said that only Jiang Yang's big thieves and flower thieves use this kind of thing. Could it be that you ...... too," Bai Bing said with wide eyes.

"Phew, what do you say? I asked for it from the palace guards on purpose, just for tonight's operation. You still say me, where did the poison in the bun come from? Isn't this also for opening a black store? Lin Jue rolled his eyes and said.

Bai Bing said angrily: "The poison was bought by me at the market, the medicine of poisonous rats, can it be the same?" ”

Lin Jue said: "Don't rub it off, hurry up and get to work." ”

Bai Bing snorted, snatched the misty bamboo pipe, slowly took a few steps back, and then trotted to help, his toes were on the wall a little, his body turned over in the air, and the next moment he was already lying on the wall. Immediately after, there was the sound of her body gently falling to the ground.

Lin Jue cheered in his heart, and suddenly he heard a strange sound in the courtyard, as if something was rushing wildly. Then a shrill dog bark sounded. Lin Jue's heart hung in the air. Sure enough, no sound could escape the dog's ears. This is much more in charge than raising a thug in a nursing home. With Bai Bingshicai's hand, it is difficult for human ears to perceive, but dogs have already heard it.

There was a pop and a rolling sound of something being thrown on the ground. The barking of the dog immediately stopped, and the sound of eating was heard. Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the two poisonous meat buns seemed to come in handy. Soon after, the sound of four paws plowing the ground and the whimper of a dog before death could be heard in the yard. The noise was no longer alarming the people in the room, and soon everything was calm. The two dogs must have died.

Lin Jue waited patiently inside, and soon after, Bai Bing's figure appeared on the wall. Lin Jue hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Did you succeed?" ”

The white ice on the wall waved his hand, but a rope hung down. Lin Jue was stunned, and immediately understood that she was going up by herself. So he grabbed the rope and went up to the wall with the help of Bai Bing. Looking inside, the courtyard was dark and rumbling, and only the faint light came from the front yard.

"What's going on?" Lin Jue asked in a low voice.

"It's troublesome, Qian Zhongze and his wife are not in the house. I can't get the key, I can't open the door of the secret room. Bai Bing said a little anxiously.
