Chapter 23 The Truth

"oh?"

Lin Xing slightly raised her eyes, responded and stopped talking, staring straight at Luo Jingfeng, wanting to see what else he had to say.

Unexpectedly, Luo Jingfeng had actually prepared his words. His face was full of bitterness and he said helplessly: "You two just search thousands of gambling houses. If you can find evidence, Luo will not shirk."

If you can say this, you must not be able to find anything.

Lin Xing glanced at Zhou Yan, and then asked: "I believe that Shopkeeper Luo is a person who understands current affairs. Since you said there is no evidence, I will believe you. But I still have one thing that I don't understand. I would like to ask Shopkeeper Luo to explain.

.”

As she said that, she leaned back like Zhou Yan, only a pair of sharp eyes fell on Luo Jingfeng's face.

"It's not easy to get into your thousands of gambling dens. Lin Zhengtang's family is poor, why did you let him in?"

She just finished speaking. Luo Jingfeng opened his mouth to explain, but Lin Xing snatched him away, "You don't have to tell me that it was Zhao Jing who did it. Zhao Jing lent him money after he owed gambling debts and entered Wanqian Gambling House.

He doesn’t have that much silver on him.”

Uncle Zhong has found out a lot of things these days, including the causes and consequences of Lin Zhengtang's visit to the gambling house.

At first, Lin Xing thought it was Zhao Jing who lent money to Lin Zhengtang for gambling, but later she learned from Uncle Zhong that when Zhao Jing borrowed the money, Lin Zhengtang already owed a high amount of gambling debt.

So, who gave the order to thousands of gambling houses? Why did the person behind it take a fancy to Lin Zhengtang?

She didn't know whether the person behind her was interested in Lin Zhengtang or other members of the Lin family. If that person's goal was her, she would play into that person's plan if she investigated, so she did not investigate, but waited for Zhou Yan to bring her here.

Now in front of Zhou Yan, Luo Jingfeng did not dare to lie.

Sure enough, after hearing what Lin Xing said, Luo Jingfeng's pupils shrank suddenly and he turned to look at Zhou Yan.

But Zhou Yan, the great Buddha, looked as usual and motionless as a mountain. Luo Jingfeng was not sure for a moment whether he knew the truth and wanted to lie... He really didn't have the courage.

Others don't know, but Luo Jingfeng knows very well that Zhou Yan will appear in Yuzhou not only because he wants to help Zhao Yi, but also because of the intention of the person on the golden chair.

He couldn't afford to offend people on both sides, so after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to bow to the person in front of him first. After all, that person couldn't kill him for the time being, but the person in front of him could make his head fall to the ground.

"If the villain tells the truth, I wonder if His Royal Highness can protect the villain?" Luo Jingfeng looked up anxiously.

"Are you negotiating terms with this prince?" Zhou Yan raised his sword eyebrows slightly, with a look of contempt on his face, "You don't want to say it, but this prince also has many ways to know. Once the truth is leaked, will you still be alive?"

Luo Jingfeng's expression changed.

He knew he shouldn't deal with these noble people, but it was too late to say anything now.

Unable to twist his thigh with his arms, Luo Jingfeng could only say helplessly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will tell the truth about the cause and effect. I was instigated by others to introduce Lin Zhengtang into thousands of gambling houses."

Lin Xing thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that the person who designed Lin Zhengtang to enter the gambling house was actually the prince.

"I was also curious about what kind of feud that person had with the Lin family, but after all, it was a noble matter. I didn't dare to ask more questions. I only heard a few gossips about the drug store. No matter how many villains I really don't know,

!”

After saying that, Luo Jingfeng was still afraid that Lin Xing and Zhou Yan wouldn't believe it, so he raised his hands and swore to God, "Everything the villain said is true. If he lies, the sky will strike with thunder! It's just that the villain tells the prince about this. If he does that in the future,

If you investigate this case, please ask the prince to save this villain’s life!”

No matter how powerful the person who opened a gambling house was, he was still far behind the prince and the heir apparent. Luo Jingfeng had to bow his head.

"As long as what you say is true, I will definitely protect your life." Zhou Yan raised his hand and signaled Luo Jingfeng to get up, "You go down and wait. I will see you later if I have something to do."

After receiving Zhou Yan's promise, Luo Jingfeng took some reassurance and immediately got up and waited outside.

After Luo Jingfeng left, Zhou Yan looked at Lin Xing.

The latter's face was full of doubts. Looking at Zhou Yan's eyes, he speculated: "Maybe it has something to do with Dongling Pharmacy."

Lin Zhengtang entered the gambling house after Zhao Yi became seriously ill. It would be reasonable if Lin Zhengtang discovered the secret of Dongling Pharmacy and attracted the prince's plan.

But does Lin Zhengtang really know?

After lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Lin Xing said: "I will go back to the Lin family and ask Lin Zhengtang."

"Ask Zhang Ping to take you back. Don't delay after asking, and return to the Prince's Mansion immediately." Zhou Yan warned her.

The two of them were still injured from the assassination. Lin Xing knew that the situation was serious, so she didn't show any pretense and agreed immediately.

Taking a carriage from the back door of Wanqian Gambling House to Lin's house, Lin Xing searched the memory of the original owner in her mind all the way, but could not find any pictures related to Dongling Pharmacy.

Until the carriage stopped at the door of Lin's house, she got out of the car and knocked on the door.

Mrs. Zou who came to open the door was stunned when she saw her daughter dressed like this. She pulled her in and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you wearing men's clothes?"

Lin Xing glanced at Zou's worried expression and knew that she was thinking wrong.

"I went to Wanqian Gambling House to investigate my father's gambling debts. It would be easier to wear men's clothing." Lin Xingsan explained clearly in a few sentences, then looked inside, "Where is my father?"

"I drank some wine and was falling asleep." Seeing that she was fine, Ms. Zou was relieved, "You sit here, I'll call him over."

Since she defeated Wei in court last time, Zou now firmly believes in her daughter and will do whatever she says.

Lin Xing waited for a moment and saw Lin Zhengtang, who was full of fear and was pushed to the flower hall by Zou unwillingly. His face was still angry as if he had just woken up, but when he saw Lin Xing, he calmed down unconsciously.

.

He sat down next to Lin Xing, took a sip of tea, and asked dryly: "You are part of the Zhao family now. Why do you always go back to your natal family to act arrogantly when you have nothing to do?"

"How are you talking? My daughter has finally come back. Is she as father as you?" Zou glared at him, frightened Lin Zhengtang and quickly changed his words.

"I'm also worried about her being gossiped about!" Lin Zhengtang smiled with a smile on his face and turned to look at his daughter, "If you have anything to do, just say it. I won't refuse if I can help."

Lin Xing lazily argued with Lin Zhengtang and got straight to the point: "Have you ever been to Dongling Pharmacy?"

"This... this place is quite familiar, but..." Lin Zhengtang hesitated and didn't say anything for a long time.

But seeing his reaction, Lin Xing knew there was something wrong.

She glanced over and said lightly, "If you don't tell the truth, I will send you to prison to be with the Zhao family."

When he heard that he was going to jail, Lin Zhengtang immediately became honest, "I have never been to Tangling Pharmacy, but there is a gambling shop next to Tangling Pharmacy, and I have been there before. It happened to be that the pharmacy was closed on the day I went there, and there were only

A handsome young man walks in, he looks like he has a lot of background!"

After listening to his words, Lin Xing understood.
