Chapter 41 Personal Torture

Lin Xing and Zhou Yan had just been to Dongling Pharmacy a few days ago, and when they heard its name, they couldn't help but be surprised.

The Zhao family owns a pharmacy, so why does Uncle Zhong have to go to Dongling Pharmacy to buy medicine?

"Have you found out what kind of strange disease it is?" Lin Xing asked.

"Zhao Zhong hid it so deeply that even his neighbors didn't know what strange disease his grandson had. They only knew that he had been going to Dongling Pharmacy every three to five days since about six months ago."

Half a year ago... Lin Xing counted the time in her mind, half a year ago was when Zhao Yi was about to die.

"What if Zhao Zhong is also related to Zhao Yi's death?" Zhou Yan reacted very quickly and could see what Lin Xing was thinking at a glance.

The two of them looked at each other, and Lin Xing immediately told Chunxiao: "Get the car ready, I'm going to the Yuzhou government office to complain to the officials."

"I have nothing to do, so I will go with my wife." Zhou Yan also stood up leisurely and followed Lin Xing's pace.

When he heard that Zhou Yan and Lin Xing were coming, Yang Pei'an immediately stepped forward to greet them with a smile on his face, "I didn't know that the prince was coming, but I didn't know how to welcome him from afar."

"Master Yang, there is no need to say these polite words. This prince is accompanying Mrs. Zhao to report to the official. Master Yang is only responsible for accepting the application." Zhou Yan knocked on the jade bamboo folding fan in his hand, stepped back half a step and let Lin Xing step forward.

With Zhou Yan's words, how could Yang Pei'an dare to treat him lightly? He listened respectfully to Lin Xing's explanation of her suspicions.

After hearing this, Yang Pei'an readily agreed to arrest him, but showed doubts on his face: "What kind of treasure is this Dongling Pharmacy? One or two people drilled in there, and those who didn't know thought there was gold and silver in it."

Zhou Yan and Lin Xing had been to Dongling and knew that there were real mountains of gold and silver there, but Yang Pei'an's words still caught their attention.

"What do you mean by that? Besides Zhao Zhong, who else has been to Dongling Pharmacy?" Zhou Yan asked, raising his eyebrows.

Yang Pei'an didn't dare to hide it, and said honestly: "Many people have been to Dongling Pharmacy in the past few days, including common people, traffickers, and officials. Some people saw Li Yannian and Li Tongpan also went there."

From what he said, Zhou Yan realized that there were very few people in the entire Yuzhou government who had never been to Dongling Pharmacy.

There is definitely a hidden secret in going to Dongling Pharmacy so frequently.

Zhou Yan's face darkened, and he asked Yang Pei'an to secretly investigate the people who had been to Donglin Pharmacy recently, and make a list of all the people who visited Donglin Pharmacy. If they didn't list them, they would not know. Only then did they realize that the number of visits was surprisingly high.

And all of this actually started not long after they left Dongling.

"Don't tell anyone else about this matter, and the Yuzhou government doesn't need to get involved. My son's people will investigate it themselves." After Zhou Yan gave the order, he took the list away and followed Lin Xing back to Nanluogu Lane.

Before they left, Yang Pei'an sent a team of troops to catch Uncle Zhong by Wanping Lake.

At that time, the competition happened to be over. Zhao Jie relied on the method given to him by Lin Xing and easily won ten first-class titles. Counting the nine in the last archery competition, he now has nineteen first-class titles. In Qingyun

It's at the top of the list.

He casually glanced at the stands, but did not see Lin Xing's figure. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. Even Nian Ruipeng's provocation, he just raised his eyes and had no intention to respond.

Back under the tea shed on the shore, Zhao Jie ordered Uncle Zhong to go to Zuiyue Tower. He went back and asked Lin Xing and the Crown Prince to go to Zuiyue Tower for dinner. Unexpectedly, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a group of officers and soldiers.

Hearing that they were taking Zhao Zhong away in the name of the Lord, Zhao Jie's face darkened and he asked, "Why did you take Uncle Zhong away?"

"Young Master Zhao, you can't blame us for this. It was Mrs. Zhao who went to the Yamen to report the case in person. Don't you know?" The Yamen official looked puzzled. He didn't expect that this family would like to do two things.

But Zhao Jie really didn’t know.

He could only let the officials take Zhao Zhong back and lock him up first, while he untied a horse from the carriage and rode back to Nanluogu Lane, preparing to question Lin Xing.

Nian Ruipeng saw this clearly behind him and couldn't help but sneer: "What's the use of winning the first class? The Zhao family has not even finished like this. Even if he takes the first place in the Qingyun Club, he has no money."

Go to the capital! I would say it’s better to stay in Yuzhou and let us watch the Zhao family’s jokes!”

These words were extremely harsh, but many people wanted to know what other jokes the Zhao family could make, and many people immediately agreed.

It's just that Zhao Jie didn't know these things at the moment. He ran back to Nanluogu Lane, turned over and dismounted, and saw Lin Xing's solemn expression, and his heart suddenly felt empty.

He threw the riding whip to Chun Mian, stepped forward and asked, "Why did you let people capture Uncle Zhong? How did he offend you?"

"Just because he wants to kill me, he could possibly kill your father." After Lin Xing finished speaking, she glanced at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan immediately called Zhang Ping.

Zhang Ping was borrowing the Zhao family's courtyard to interrogate the assassin. He was standing outside the door covered in blood, and he happened to be right next to Zhao Jie. The smell of blood on his body made Zhao Jie's eyes flash with stars.

He held his nose and walked into the flower hall, turned to look at Zhang Ping and asked, "What happened?"

Zhang Pingce turned around and said to Zhao Jie, "The assassins who assassinated Mrs. Zhao admitted that the silver notes they received came from Zhao Ji Bank. I went to the bank to redeem the ticket number, and I was sure that the person who took the money was Zhao Zhong."

In other words, even if Zhao Zhong was not the mastermind behind Lin Xing's assassination, he was still inseparable from it.

At this moment, Zhao Jie was really confused, and he was completely dizzy and didn't know what he was doing. Fortunately, Chun Mian stepped forward to support him and prevented him from falling.

"How could it be him..." Zhao Jie took a deep breath and stared outside the room with red eyes, "I will ask him personally!"

After saying that, he roared and rushed out.

Chun Mian took a few steps forward worriedly, then turned to look at Lin Xing, "Madam, are you going to send someone to keep an eye on the young master?"

Lin Xingze glanced at Zhou Yan.

The latter chuckled and said: "Madam, don't you want to know why Zhao Zhong did this? The person he wanted to kill was you."

You say it so grandly, don't you just want to watch the fun?

Lin Xing understood him, so she looked at him with a smile, stood up and said, "You might as well go and see the excitement."

After being enlightened by her, Zhou Yan was not ashamed at all. He immediately asked someone to prepare a car and go to Yuzhou Mansion Office. He entered the courtyard through the back door and went straight to the prison.

Naturally, outsiders could not enter. Only Zhou Yan and Lin Xing went down the passage.

Not long after they walked in, they heard Zhao Jie's voice coming from inside: "Your grandson is seriously ill. Can you tell me why you betrayed me? I am still speaking for you in front of my mother. Can you deserve me like this?"

Lin Xing got closer and heard Zhao Zhong's answer.

"So what if I tell the young master? If the shopkeeper of Dongling Pharmacy doesn't sell medicine, can the young master still force him with a knife?" Zhao Zhong smiled helplessly, "I don't want to betray the young master, but once the medicine is stopped,

Strange diseases will occur. He is Lao Lu’s only grandson, and I cannot ignore his pain!"

Will the attack occur once the medication is stopped?
