Jade Without Fragrance

   Chapter 83 Another Dead

   Qinglu Mountain is not high, Lin Hao has a good eye, overlooking the official road from halfway up the mountain, if you are familiar with it, you can still recognize it.

  Lin Hao watched Qi Shuo turn over and dismount, pick up the hat, put it on again, and drive the horse forward.

  The rain seemed to be heavier, like beads hitting the umbrella surface, pattering, splashing a little coolness.

  Prince Jing is frail and sick, what is the urgent need to travel in the rain?

  Lin Haoxin was puzzled, still looking at the direction where Qi Shuo's back disappeared.

   "Girl, go back to the house, be careful of catching a cold." Baozhu came over.

  Lin Hao walked into the house with an umbrella.

   Mrs Lin was eating snacks when she saw Lin Hao put her umbrella in, and beckoned her to come and sit: "I want to know what to send a maid out to find out, it's very cold outside."

   Lin Hao's mouth twitched slightly.

  Lin looked at the door: "I don't know if the gangster has been caught."

   Originally, he left, but in order to stay away from King Wei for one more day, he couldn't help but care about this matter.

   Lin's temperament is bright, and his thoughts are together, and he immediately ordered: "Fang Fei, you arrange for someone to inquire, and report in time if there is any news."

  Fangfei led the way, leaving the mother and daughter to chat.

   It’s raining outside, but it’s warm in the house. It’s the most comfortable to spend time with refreshments.

   The sky darkened in a blink of an eye.

  Fangfei came in and brought a message: "Prince Jing has come to Qinglu Temple."

   Lin Hao raised his eyebrows.

   Prince Jing passed by Qinglu Mountain and returned?

   Lin didn't know about Qi Shuo's passing by Qinglu Mountain, and said in shock, "Prince Jing came to incense in the rain?"

   It's not because she thought too much, did she hear that Ah Hao is here?

   It was King Wei and the heir of King Jing, and Lin Shi was suddenly very distressed.

   "Go and find out which room Prince Jing lives in."

   After a while, Fangfei inquired and came back: "Prince King Jing lives in the guest room where King Wei used to stay."

  Lin: "..."

   After a while, she waved her hand: "Let everyone who comes with you be smart, and we'll go back to the house tomorrow morning."

   "Yes." Fang Fei withdrew.

   Mrs. Lin picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a slight dissatisfaction in her tone: "Prince Jing went out of the city to give incense on a heavy rainy day, I don't know if Princess Jing knows?"

   Worryless child.

  Lin Hao and Lin Chan looked at each other, and always felt that their mother had an inexplicable concern and resistance to Prince Jing.

  The two daughters didn't talk to each other, so Lin changed the subject. The mother and daughter ate the fasting meal together and washed and rested separately.

   There is still a little time before going to bed, Lin Hao leaned against the head of the bed, flipping through the book that Baozhu brought from home to pass the time.

   There was a sudden noise outside.

  Lin Hao put on his coat and pushed the door out.

  Lin Shi and Lin Chan also heard the movement.

  The mother and daughter walked to the railing to look out, and they saw the lights at the foot of the mountain shaking and the people moving.

The    voice came from there.

   "The gangster must be found." Lin looked down at the foot of the mountain and said with certainty.

   Said to be a bad guy, but he was actually a poor guy.

   Lin's railing sighed.

   One after another, pilgrims heard the movement and came out, and Lin Hao saw Qi Shuo.

   The two looked at each other for a moment, and Qi Shuo strode over.

   "Mrs. Lin, I didn't expect you to be there." Qi Shuo greeted politely.

   Lin Shi held a smile: "It's quite a coincidence."

   "I don't know what happened down the mountain?" Qi Shuo looked at the foot of the mountain, and he naturally started a topic.

   "The prince just came, I'm afraid I don't know, there was an accident at Qinglu Temple yesterday..."

   Listening silently to his mother explaining the confusion to Prince Jing, Lin Hao wanted to roll his eyes.

   When Prince Jing went up the mountain, he must have seen the yamen guarding the intersection, and she didn't believe that he didn't know anything about it.

   At the foot of the mountain, the fire dragon gradually moved up and moved to the halfway up the mountain.

   "Chan'er, alright, you guys are waiting here, mother go and have a look."

  Lin Chan was helpless: "Mother, let's go together."

  Lin swept Qi Shuo out of the corner of his eye and nodded: "Alright, let's go have a look together."

   Qi Shuo smiled and walked behind the mother and daughter.

   Mrs. Wuninghou, who heard the movement, hurried over: "Have you found the beast who harmed the little girl?"

   I was going to take my daughter back to the house this afternoon, but it rained just after going down the mountain, so I had no choice but to come back.

   Mrs. Wuning Hou felt that this trip to Qinglu Temple was a bad luck.

  Liu Zoutou's face was solemn: "I haven't found any trace of the gangster yet."

   "Then you are—"

   Liu Zhuo turned his head to the side, and the two yamen officers put the shelf they were carrying on the ground.

   A middle-aged man in a blue long-sleeved robe was lying on the shelf.

   Mrs. Wuning Hou stepped forward to take a closer look, suddenly her pupils shrank and she stepped back.

   It was clearly a corpse!

   The middle-aged man opened his eyes slightly, and there was still a look of panic and dried blood on his face.

  The onlookers, like Mrs. Wuninghou, discovered that the middle-aged man was dead, and immediately started buzzing about it.

   "Another one died!"

   "How did this man die?"

   Liu Zhaotou said to Mrs. Wuninghou: "This person was found in the weeds on the official road to the north, and his neck was wiped."

   Mrs. Wuning Hou's voice trembled: "Is that the beast doing it?"

  Weier's maid Qinghong was wiped on her neck.

  Liu Zhaotou nodded slightly: "At the moment, it seems that A Hu was caught by this man when he was running away, and he killed him."

   "So, that beast escaped?" Mrs. Wuning Hou's tone was a little excited.

  Liu Zhaotou looked a little embarrassed: "Mrs. Hou, don't worry, our people have already gone north to investigate."

Mrs. Wu Ninghou was angry: "Don't worry, don't worry, you will only say don't worry. So many people searched and guarded the exit, and even let a little Buzhuang guy escape, I really don't know what you are doing to eat. of!"

   Listening to Mrs. Wuning Hou's scolding, Liu Zoutou did not say a word.

   People like them are usually called a messenger when they see them, but they don't even fart in front of people like Mrs. Wuning Hou.

   It's nothing to be scolded for, but it's a miserable job to lose a living.

   Mrs. Wuning Hou vented a bit and didn't want to stay any longer: "I hope to wait for the good news from Liu Zhaotou tomorrow."

  As soon as Mrs. Wuning Hou left, the discussion became louder, either talking about the brutality of the gangster, or guessing the identity of the victim.

   Liu Chutou motioned for his men to carry the body away, feeling a great headache.

   Judging from the situation of this person, it is clear that he is a foreigner who wants to enter Beijing. It may be difficult to find out his identity.

  Lin Hao chased the corpse away with his eyes, and didn't even hear Lin's call to her.

   "Good." Lin shi reached out and patted Lin Hao's arm.

  Lin Hao regained his senses, and his voice was a little floating: "Mother?"

  Lin looked worried at her daughter's blank look: "Ah, are you scared?"

  It was her negligence, she always thought that her two daughters were not afraid of this like her.

   Looking at Lin Chan's face as usual, Lin Shi was a little dazed.

   I don't know when the illusion was born, she always felt that the younger daughter was more courageous than the eldest daughter.

   "Go back to the house, let's hurry down the mountain tomorrow morning."

   If one dies a day, how can a little girl not be afraid.

  Lin took Lin Hao's hand and walked back, Lin Hao looked back and fixed a look at Qi Shuo.
