Chapter Thirty-Three Where the Money Is Hidden

"shut up!"

This time, Lin Xing didn't stop her. Zhou Yan spoke immediately and stared at Zhao Jie with an unhappy look, "In order to investigate your father's death, my wife and I were injured one after another. Now you actually ask her why she didn't tell you, Zhao Jie, can you?"

Do you have any conscience at all?"

Zhou Yan's cold voice made Zhao Jie recover from his anger. He glanced at Lin Xing, who had a normal expression, and said reluctantly: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive. But for such an important matter, no matter what you find out,

You should tell me everything, that’s my father, I can’t leave everything to you, right?”

He has not forgotten what Lin Xing said to him - Zhou Yan is not completely trustworthy, and he also has other purposes for approaching the Zhao family.

Originally, he thought that Lin Xing was at least in the same camp as him, but now it seemed that Lin Xing was not completely oriented towards him, otherwise she would not have concealed such an important matter from him.

"For the next four days, you will still stay in Nanluoguxiang to study arithmetic. The prince and I will continue to investigate your father's death." Lin Xing said expressionlessly. After speaking, he paused for a moment and added, "This time

No matter what is found out, I will not hide it from you. As for other things you want to know, you can ask Uncle Zhong after dinner. He is your father's man, and you can trust him completely."

Perhaps she was hurt by Zhao Jie's attitude just now, Lin Xing lost her usual gentleness and kindness towards her, and spoke coldly.

This made Zhao Jie quite uncomfortable.

Although they were mother and son who had become monks and didn't have much affection, Zhao Jie had seen Lin Xing's gentleness, patience, intelligence and cunning. At this moment, when he saw Lin Xing who regarded him as a stranger, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't eat anymore and got up.

Then left.

After he left the private room, Zhou Yan glanced at Lin Xing and asked, "Did you get hurt by him?"

"I'm a soft-hearted person and I'm not easily hurt." Lin Xing shook her head as if she didn't care, but her words made Zhou Yan laugh.

"If you were really ruthless, you wouldn't be hurt by his words." Zhou Yan picked up the wine cup and toasted Lin Xing, "Zhao Jie is still young, so you don't have to take his words to heart. If you really take his words seriously,

It would be foolish to hurt yourself."

Lin Xing raised her eyebrows, "I said I'm not that easily hurt."

If in the past, she didn't know that she was once a string of data, she would definitely be hurt by Zhao Jie Zhao's words.

After all, she had done so many things for the Zhao family, but in the end she was rated as callous and unkind, which hurt everyone.

But she is data. Although she has been a human for a few months, she does not have the same set of human emotions. Even when facing the Zou family, she is only dominated by the emotions of the original owner.

She wasn't being polite, it was a fact.

Zhou Yan did not argue with her anymore and changed the subject: "You just said you wanted to continue the investigation, have you thought about where to start the investigation?"

"I want to go to Dongling Pharmacy." When talking about business, Lin Xing looked up at Zhou Yan, "The first assassination that injured me was committed by the Zhao family. The second assassination that seriously injured you was never found.

The source, but I suspect it has something to do with Dongling Pharmacy."

She once looked up the address of Dongling Pharmacy on the map at home. It was in a remote village outside Yuzhou City. It was called Dongling Pharmacy because it was to the east of a mausoleum.

There are many underground banks near the drug store, which is most convenient for people from all walks of life to exchange information.

Someone there must have seen their assassins. If evidence can be found, they might be able to identify the real culprits.

"But if you and I go there rashly, I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of Donglin Pharmacy. If the prince notices, it will be bad."

Zhou Yan said, ordered a glass of wine, drew a picture on the table, and circled one of the points, which was Dongling Pharmacy. It's an ambush and we can't escape even if we want to."

Lin Xing found the address of Dongling Pharmacy on a map, so it was naturally not as clear as Zhou Yan's own visit.

Therefore, when she knew that Dongling Pharmacy was so dangerous, she had the idea of ​​giving up.

But before she could say anything, Zhou Yanzhou suddenly changed his words, with raised eyebrows and a thick smile, "But it is precisely because of this that we should go and take a look."

Facing Lin Xing's puzzled gaze, Zhou Yan explained with a chuckle: "The first two trips you and I made were impromptu, but those killers had been lying in wait for a long time. Either there were spies around you, or something went wrong around me. But there was something wrong with you. They are all people left behind by Zhao Yi, and they are no better than the mixed crowd around me. I will only take the people around me with me on this trip. If there are still assassinations, I should root out the spies for the Prince's Mansion."

It just so happened that Lin Xing had just had a quarrel with Zhao Jie, so there was nothing wrong even if she didn't bring the Zhao family's guards.

So Lin Xing hurriedly paid for the meal and set off with Zhou Yan.

However, when they went downstairs, Zhao Jie had already left with Uncle Zhong in advance, and even Chun Mian was not left behind for her.

He looked really angry.

But this is good, but it makes people relax their vigilance.

Lin Xing left Yuzhou City on the prince's carriage. The carriage drove for about three hours before arriving at Dongling Pharmacy in the suburbs.

She opened the curtain and looked around, only to find that the Tangling Pharmacy was extremely shabby.

"The Zhao family must have never visited this medicine shop in person, otherwise how could they think that this medicine shop contains the rare medicinal materials that Fan Wencheng wants?" Lin Xing curled her lips, but saw that Zhou Yan had no intention of getting off the carriage.

"Isn't the prince going down?" Lin Xing lowered the curtain and asked, looking at the lit lantern in the corner of the carriage.

Zhou Yan shook his head, and then knocked on the wall of the carriage. The carriage, which had stopped for a moment, started moving again, heading straight into the deep forest.

Recalling what Zhou Yan said at Zuiyue Tower in the afternoon, Lin Xing thought he was going to test whether the palace guards were spies, but the carriage drove for a while and stopped in front of the mausoleum.

This time, after the carriage stopped, Zhou Yan lifted the curtain and jumped out. A guard lit a torch, illuminating the mausoleum as if it were daytime.

Zhou Yan stood firm and turned around to attack Lin Xingsheng.

Although Lin Xing didn't know what was going on, she still supported his hand and got out of the car. Looking at the magnificent mausoleum, she frowned and asked, "Why did the prince come here?"

Shouldn't they go to Tanglin Pharmacy?

"I have always found it strange that what kind of medicine shop would open near the mausoleum, and who dared to build such a grand mausoleum." Zhou Yan stared at the mausoleum with a smile, and a cold feeling appeared in his eyes.

As soon as he said that, Lin Xing realized something was wrong.

The ancients had regulations on burials. In such spiritual burial chambers, relatives of either the emperor or the state were buried.

But if they are this kind of people, there will be no shops near their tombs. The most important thing is...

Lin Xing looked around and spoke slowly, "Not many people visit such a mausoleum, so it should be overgrown with weeds, but not only are there no weeds around here, the soil on the ground is also very compact, which shows that people come here often. "
