Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 144 The Truth Behind

At this moment, Liu Qingluo was very obvious, seeing a ray of astonishment in his eyes, which disappeared in a flash.

She herself was not very surprised to see him here, after all, Wuye was here, and Lin Jinyu would not be too far away from him.

"How's the matter?" Lin Jinyu didn't linger on her face, and asked Wuye directly.

He always treats her like air.

Liu Qingluo has long been used to it, so it doesn't matter.

In the past, except for the healing time, she would not come within ten meters of him.

Speaking of it, although the two have known each other for many years, they are almost always talking coldly and swearing at each other, and they seldom communicate normally.

But today—

Liu Qingluo didn't intend to leave.

Lifting her skirt, she randomly picked a comfortable position, sat down, and poured herself a cup of tea.

Lin Jinyu glanced at her.

"Go ahead, I'm not in a hurry." Liu Qingluo made a gesture of letting go.

"Back to Second Master," Wu Ye said without looking sideways, "A man ran away on board, according to Ma Si's description, it should be their third boss, Xiong Zhong. The remaining little boss Zhang Shijie, I injured a leg, Now they are locked below. Niuniu and the others are the passengers on that ship..."

Lin Jinyu gently clasped the table with two slender fingers, nodded, and said, "Go and interrogate and find out the whereabouts of the other two ships. As for the irrelevant people, let them leave at the next ferry."

"Yes." Wuye turned and left cleanly.

In fact, with these two sentences, he didn't need to report them at all. It seemed that his purpose was to bring Liu Qingluo over.

For this, the remaining two people in the room are well aware.

Because Wuye has done this kind of thing more than once.

Although Liu Qingluo always felt that sometimes he meddled too much, but she couldn't bear to blame him.

She never wants to hurt anyone who sincerely treats her well.

"I'm not a teahouse here. I'll go out after drinking." After Lin Jinyu finished speaking, she realized that she seemed to be distracted, so she took another look at her.

Her dress was very simple, with a silver ring holding her fluffy black hair, and her small face was as white as snow, crystal clear.

I haven't seen her for a while, she seems to have grown a little taller...

"I have something to ask you." She came back to her senses, took a sip from her teacup, and said calmly.

"Say." Lin Jinyu lowered her eyes.

She asked bluntly, "Why did you attack me last night?"

Lin Jinyu was slightly surprised when she heard this.

She was able to recognize him.

"How do you know it's me?" He raised his eyebrows, half curious, half confused.

At any rate, he was also wearing night clothes and covered his face!

Is it so easy to show off?
Liu Qingluo stretched out her hand to eat the snacks in front of him, and said: "I'll give you a suggestion, before you disguise yourself, take a bath to get rid of the smell, and then, don't wear those expensive hair crowns of yours, you will act like someone else is blind can not see?!"

Lin Jinyu moved the dessert plate away: "You know it's me, but you still dare to drug me?"

Liu Qingluo didn't have a good meal for several times. She was eating happily when the plate was suddenly taken away, and she couldn't help becoming annoyed: "You attack me first!"

"Those two people are important clues that I have been chasing for several days, how could they be killed by you!!"

"You idiot! When am I going to kill people? I just want to burn their hair and teach them a lesson!"

Liu Qingluo spit all over the place, wanting to point at his nose and curse.

Lin Jinyu's dark eyes froze.

He really didn't expect that.

but--

"Why don't you use a knife to cut your hair? Do you know that using fire is dangerous! If you accidentally burn to death, will you be responsible for the hundreds of thousands of stolen silver?"

"Where can I get a knife..." Liu Qingluo suddenly realized as she spoke, gulped her saliva, and said with difficulty, "Say, how many 10 taels of silver?"

Although Lin Jinyu leaked her words, she didn't intend to hide it from her.

He knew that although she was narrow-minded and vindictive, she was not the kind of ignorant woman who didn't understand the general situation.

"The money that the imperial court was going to send to Guangdong and Guangxi for disaster relief was robbed a month ago."

While he was talking, he was playing with the dessert plate, and he noticed that her eyeballs were following the plate...

He couldn't help the corners of his lips curling up a little, and it disappeared quickly. He continued: "The empress is furious, but she sent someone to investigate for a long time, but there is no news."

Liu Qingluo nodded: "So you just went back, and she left this matter to you? How do I remember that you led soldiers to fight? What, you can't do it anymore when you are too old, and you changed to a civilian job to investigate cases?"

Lin Jinyu was indifferent to her ridicule, and said calmly: "I have a few friends in the world."

Liu Qingluo suddenly thought of something, jumped up with a bang, and said in shock: "So, the most important thing in that little broken boat is..."

The answer is about to come out.

"A few hundred thousand taels of silver, just under my feet..." She was a little dizzy.

No wonder the boat was so broken, it was originally for hiding.

"You're not stupid enough."

Lin Jinyu sarcastically said, "As far as I know, they divided the silver into three batches and shipped it out, and this is only part of it."

Liu Qingluo calmed down, sat down slowly, and found that the plate had arrived in front of her at some point, she picked one up and stuffed it into her mouth, moved her face close to him, and said with a sneer: "Even if what you said is true, you can definitely show it." Identity prevents me, is it necessary to fight with me? Or do you think I don't recognize you and want to take this opportunity to kill me to avenge myself?"

"If I want to kill you, do I still need to cover my face?"

He turned his face away awkwardly, and she saw the scratches on his fair neck all at once.

Although the wound has been scarred, it is like a piece of flawless jade with cracks, and people can't help but feel regretful when they look at it.

"That, is it okay?" She pointed to his neck, couldn't help feeling a little guilty in her heart, and said a word of concern.

Thinking about it now, although he didn't reveal his identity, he really didn't kill her. Instead, she almost killed him.

Lin Jinyu ignored her question, and continued: "I remind you, this matter is very deep, and it's not something you can get involved with casually. You go to the exam honestly. Next time, if you see Feng Qiniang and the others, don't approach them. Don't know."

"Why, you still plan to let them go?"

"Hmph..." Lin Jinyu sneered, "Do you think such a big case can be accomplished by a gang of bandits?"

Liu Qingluo was silent.

There are many power disputes in the imperial court, and there will be many corrupt officials. I don't know how many officials will be involved.

It should be said that this is not just a simple robbery case.

Although Feng Qiniang and Ma Si are small people, they are the breakthrough point connecting many things.

In all fairness, this is indeed not something that Liu Qingluo can intervene in.

"I ran into it by accident, so I can't just sit and watch the money being taken away, can I?" She muttered, took out a small bottle of ointment from her purse, and beckoned, "Bow your head—"

"What?" Lin Jinyu was taken aback.
