Rebirth farming and raising buns

Chapter 268
Lin Shuang was lying in the house, listening to the footsteps coming and going outside without moving, until there was a hurried sound beating on the door of the room where she lived, Lin Shuang slowly got up.

"Here we come, wait a minute!" Lin Shuang pretended to wake up just now, pulled her loose hair casually, and opened the door.

Seeing the patrolling guards standing outside, Lin Shuang hurriedly asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Get out of the way, there are assassins, we want to search."

Lin Shuang hurriedly stepped aside, and lit the candles on the side table to brighten up the room.

However, the patrolling guards all carried pine oil torches in their hands, and they didn't pay attention to the light that Lin Shuang lit, but Lin Shuang still wanted to point out her attitude.

This time was different from the previous search. The patrolling guards searched carefully bit by bit, even the bottom of the kang and the beams of the house were illuminated with torches. After confirming that there was no problem, the whole team prepared to leave again.

From the beginning to the end, Lin Shuang stood beside him with his eyes downcast, without saying a word.

After the patrolling guards searched, they were about to leave, but they stopped at the door.

The team leader glanced at Lin Shuang: "You..." As he spoke, the knife was unsheathed and rested on Lin Shuang's neck.

Lin Shuang didn't have a chance to dodge at all. As soon as his neck was cold, he felt a slight pain, and his brows could not help frowning: "Guan Ye, what do you mean?"

"Hmph! I think you are very suspicious! Ordinary women would panic when they see this kind of formation, but you can be so calm, how can you not make people suspicious?"

"My lord, the little girl is not a guilty conscience, so why do you need to panic? The lord is carrying out his duty to search, and the little girl cooperates. Now that the lord is so suspicious, why don't you take the little girl to the court?" Lin Shuang felt his neck It was already bleeding, but she couldn't panic even more at this time.

Resisting the pain of breathing, Lin Shuang responded calmly.

After Lin Shuang's few words, the guard leader, who was originally cold-eyed, let go of his knife: "No wonder the master appointed you, that's fine, it's nothing to do with you."

It turned out that before coming here, the guard leader knew that there was a woman who was imprisoned here to replace other female prisoners, and he was responsible for leading people to arrest that female prisoner at the beginning, so he knew something about the inside story.

Just now he wanted to see why the county magistrate would find this person to be an impostor, but now it seems that Lin Shuang feels a little pity.

"Here, take this to apply to your wounds. There will be assassins at night, so close the doors and windows." The guard leader took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, threw it to Lin Shuang, and then led them out of the house.

After all the patrolling guards had left, Lin Shuang quickly bolted the door from the inside, panting heavily.

It wasn't that she wasn't nervous just now, but when she was forced to do so, she had to pretend.

He took a white handkerchief, dipped it in water and wiped the wound against the copper mirror. Fortunately, the wound was not very deep.

Opening the small porcelain bottle, Lin Shuang smelled it, and it was a mellow medicinal smell. Then she picked up a piece of suet-like ointment with the tip of her fingernails, and gently applied it on the wound.

The coolness covered up the original hot pain, and made the wound more comfortable.

As for why Lin Shuang dared to use it, if she wanted to kill her, there were many ways that no one would know, so why bother to give her a bottle of poisonous window ointment in front of so many people.

After applying the ointment, Lin Shuang tied a clean veil around her neck lightly, and then lay down again.

After lying down, Lin Shuang didn't fall asleep immediately. She touched the wax-sealed thing, thinking to herself, when will she be able to go out, and what is this thing?
Fortunately, this matter did not make Lin Shuang think for too long, and fell asleep with doubts.

It wasn't until the next morning that the maid brought food again, and Lin Shuang would wake up.

After washing up and preparing to eat, a woman rushed over from the front with a smile on her face: "Girl, this old servant congratulates you, please come with me!"

"Mother, where are you taking me?" Lin Shuang was startled. Could it be that the female prisoner she replaced was about to die?

In this way, all the escape plans she thought of before were all in vain.

"The girl and the old slave are here." Although the woman didn't say a word, Lin Shuang saw her polite tone, and it didn't seem like she was taking him to die.

After all, if it was really an execution or something else, it would definitely not be a woman who came to take her, at least it would be a servant or a yamen servant to bring her.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Shuang calmed down when he came here: "Then please wait a while, Madam, I will tidy up my clothes and come out right away."

The woman was not annoyed, she just said: "Hurry up, girl, the master is waiting in front of you." Then she went out.

Lin Shuang hid the things on his body that he was supposed to carry out, and then hid them on a lower level, and then he didn't forget to eat two bites to fill his stomach first, so that if something happened, he wouldn't lose his strength at all.

After finishing these quickly, Lin Shuang came out of the house and smiled at the mother-in-law: "Mummy, let's go!"

The woman still had a good temper: "Girl, let's go! The master is already waiting in the front hall."

Lin Shuang followed the woman all the way forward. This was the first time she had formally walked from the backyard of the county government office. The last time she was brought here, she entered through the side door and was led directly to that remote courtyard. There, nothing was seen.

But today was different, the old woman led her through a water pavilion, and then through the garden, seeing the flower hall in front of her, the old woman stopped.

"Miss, it's over there in the flower hall, please go there by yourself! The master ordered us not to come near." It seems that the woman did not go in with her.

"Thank you, Ma'am." Lin Shuang thanked her, and walked over there full of doubts and a little apprehension. She didn't know whether it was good or bad waiting for her.

Walking to the door of the flower hall, Lin Shuang hadn't entered yet, but heard someone talking inside.

"Please rest assured that this matter is that the lower official arrested the wrong person. Please don't misunderstand, young master. When Miss Lin Shuang comes, the lower official will definitely apologize to the girl. Besides, the lower official did not abuse Miss Lin Shuang. It’s also delicious and delicious.”

"You know how to do it."

"Yes, but, can you entrust your son to ask your father to buy the potion, then the official is really grateful."

"I see. When I return home from studying next time, I will make that potion for your lord."

Lin Shuang stood outside the door and listened in a daze, but she heard clearly the two people talking inside: it was the county magistrate who made her scapegoat, and the other person was Lian Ji.
