The outer chamber is not what I want, the general will send you a sword!

Chapter 59

The officers and soldiers held up torches, illuminating the dark street brightly, and surrounded Xia Jin and Shopkeeper Qi, who was already lying in a pool of blood, in a short while!

Xia Jin scanned around, looking at the battle, is she going to be the one who takes the blame?
She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in a moldy and damp dungeon. In this era of no surveillance and no video recording, once she was blamed, she couldn't clean it up.

You must find a way to get out, and you must not be caught by them!

Just as she was thinking, she saw the surrounding team make way from both sides, and a man came out from behind.

"It's you?"

The two spoke in unison!

This person is none other than Lin Ziyi!

Lin Ziyi investigated shopkeeper Qi and learned that he was collecting recipes and intending to sell them at a high price, but there is only one buyer who can pay a high price!
That is... Mr. Song who loves food in the capital.

The reason why shopkeeper Qi was able to hear their conversation and record it was because Lin Ziyi did it deliberately, in order to put a long line to catch big fish!

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the bait he released did not catch the fish he wanted to catch.

Xia Jin twitched the corners of her mouth, and said to herself: She doesn't intend to carry this blame!

Lin Ziyi hesitated for a while looking at her "Li Kui mask" that didn't match her figure, and then spit out a name of a middle school student, "Fairy Chi Yan?"

Xia Jin waved her hand and declared: "I just happened to pass by here, I didn't kill this person! You also know that my declaration of action is 'punish evil and promote good' and I am a good person!" She emphasized the latter sentence.

"Whether it was you who killed me, I will investigate! It just so happens that since we met, let's settle the old and new accounts together! Let's go with this general!" Lin Ziyi took a step forward.

"Wait a minute, what's new and old?" she asked.

"The account book of the bandits in Wangxi Town is in your hands. Also, you were responsible for the flooding of Jinshi Building and the burning of ten shops in a row?" He said, and took another step.

Xia Jin spread her hands, and said helplessly: "General, you can't just wrong people like this, you have to talk about the evidence!"

"Isn't it? Just go back and investigate with General Ben!" As soon as he finished speaking, he strode forward and grabbed Xia Jin's shoulder.

Xia Jin dodged quickly and shouted, "Look at the dart!"

Lin Ziyi raised his hand to catch it, and spread out his palm, but saw it was a copper coin.

Looking up again, Xia Jin had already jumped onto the roof.

"Want to run?"

Lin Ziyi flew after him, and appeared in front of Xia Jin in a flash.

"So fast!"

"You can't escape!" He stretched out his hand to grab Xia Jin, but Xia Jin dodged, but Lin Ziyi predicted her movement and grabbed her wrist.

Xia Jin tightened her footsteps, turned around and threw Lin Ziyi out with an over-the-shoulder fall.

Lin Ziyi landed steadily, and when he raised his head again, he was gone!
Looking down at the copper plate in his hand, Lin Ziyi slowly clenched his palm.

"I'll catch you!"

On the other side, Xia Jin returned to the house, changed her night clothes and took off her mask.

Recalling the death of shopkeeper Qi, Xia Jin took out the token given by Master Song from the cloth bag, and slowly tightened her hands.

This suspicion must be cleared!She doesn't want to be a backer!

The next day, early in the morning, Xia Jin put on men's clothes and went out.

"Boss, where are we going?" Asked Siji dressed as a servant.

"Go to the Song Mansion to apply for a job!"

While talking, the two had already arrived at the gate of the Song Mansion. Xia Jin looked up at the plaque with gold letters on a red background and walked over!
There was a knock on the door, and it was an old butler with a thin face who opened it.

A pair of sharp eyes looked Xia Jin up and down, and asked, "Who are you and who are you looking for?"

Xia Jin took out the token, flashed it out, and said, "I'm here to apply for a job as a chef!"

The old butler glanced at the token, and after confirming that it was correct, he moved out of the way.

"follow me."

After entering the Song residence, the old butler led him to the door of the study.

"Sir, someone is here to apply for a chef."

"Come in."

Master Song turned to look at the person who walked in, and when he saw clearly that it was Xia Jin, his eyes lit up.

"Chef Xia!"

"When I first came to the capital, I had exhausted all my money, and my pockets were too small. I am grateful that Mr. Song thinks highly of me, so I came here!" Xia Jin said.

"It's really great that Chef Xia can come to my house! Ever since I ate the Linglong Xizhu Jade Soup made by Chef Song that day, I have been thinking about it for a long time!"

"Come here, arrange for Chef Xia to live in the mansion!"

The old butler came in and took Xia Jin out of the study.

Before Xia Jin left, she looked back at the scrolls on Master Song's desk. There are three scrolls in total, which were delivered by shopkeeper Qi yesterday evening!
As long as I hand this over to Lin Ziyi, my suspicion will be cleared!

The old housekeeper arranged for Xia Jin to live in a small courtyard. After Xia Jin settled down, she went to the kitchen, cooked a dish of braised fish, and took the plate to deliver it to her personally.

Knock on the door, go in and put the plate on the table.

From the corner of the eye, he looked at Mr. Song who was discussing things with others in the study, and saw that he handed the scroll to the man in black and explained something.

Xia Jin understood some lip language, and looked at the shape of her mouth to say: "You must hand it over to the Lord, don't make any mistakes!"

After the man in black left, Mr. Song walked towards the dining table, and his eyes lit up when he saw the braised fish and some stir-fried fish on the table.

Sit down, pick up the bowl and chopsticks, and pick up a piece of fish. The fish is tender and melts in your mouth. The taste is so sweet that the taste buds in your mouth can't help cheering.

Master Song couldn't stop mouthing after just one bite, and then took one bite after another until the fish was eaten until only the skeleton was left, then he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Chef Xia, this stewed fish dish is simply too delicious! Come here, there is a reward!"

Xia Jin took the silver ingot as a reward, "Thank you, Mr. Song!"

"In my mansion, no matter who it is, as long as things are done to my satisfaction, everyone will be rewarded!"

After eating and drinking enough, he walked out of the living room with his stomach in his arms. Xia Jin sneaked into the study and searched for it, but he didn't see the scroll that shopkeeper Qi handed over to Mr. Song.

It reminds me of the scroll that the man in black took before he left, could it be that?

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and the door was pushed open.

Xia Jin hid behind the screen of the bookcase, Master Song walked in, followed by a man in gray clothes.

After the two came in one after the other, the door closed.

"Lin Ziyi has already started to investigate me, what's the master's plan!" Master Song asked.

The gray-clothed man was silent for a moment, and said: "My lord has already figured out a solution, let's see if you have the guts!"

"I'm being targeted now, as long as I and my family are safe and sound, I can do anything!" Master Song said with a stern look on his face.

The gray-robed man took out a letter and handed it to Mr. Song.

"Isn't Lin Ziyi looking for evidence of collusion with the enemy country, then give it to him!"

Master Song took the letter and said in doubt: "The Lord means..."

"In five days' time, the old matriarch's birthday banquet will be held. At that time, most of the civil and military courtiers and family members of the Manchu Dynasty will go to attend. At that time, you will put this letter in Lin Ziyi's room while there are many people. The study will do..."

Master Song's eyes lit up, "As expected of the master, this scheme is absolutely perfect! It can remove the suspicion, and pour dirty water on Lin Ziyi, and it can also solve his troubles and seize his military power!"

"Since you know what the Lord wants, then handle it well. If there is another accident this time, you will only die!" the gray-clothed man said in a deep voice.
