Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 421 The Bystander Clear
"Governor Lin?"
"Master Imperial Envoy." Lin Futong had no embarrassment in the face of his questioning, as if they were good friends all along.
"I heard that the official slaves have been found back? If it wasn't for the old man's helplessness, they wouldn't have let them escape like this. Thank you, the imperial envoy, for helping the old man solve a troublesome matter..."
Mu Yuanxiu snorted coldly and remained silent. He wanted to see what else this shameless person could say.
"...However, when I came here just now, I heard that a doctor is being invited here, right? Could it be that there is something wrong with the official slave? The old man still wants to ask, who helped him escape? By the way, the official slave's family Can they be caught together?"
"Governor Lin is really powerful. It hasn't been more than three minutes since he was found, and you rushed over after getting the news." Mu Yuanxiu mocked.
Lin Futong pretended not to understand, and said happily: "That's not true. Since I learned the news of the official slave's absconding that day, the old man couldn't eat and couldn't sleep at night. It's a pity that my subordinates are full of unhealthy people. There are no traces of the middle-level people. It is better to use the people under the Imperial Envoy, as expected of the capital."
Mu Yuanxiu was helpless in the face of Lin Futong, an old fritter who didn't like oil and salt.Those who entered his Dali Temple in the past were all trembling, and if they were a little harsh, those people would confess.Otherwise, just use the torture tools, you won't need a whole set, and you will tell the truth immediately.There is no need for them to spend their lip service to deal with them.
"Master Imperial Envoy? You haven't said what happened to the official slave? If he is seriously ill, he must be cured sooner. I would like to ask him if he has any accomplices." Lin Futong looked at his face and couldn't help but start I am ecstatic, because just by looking at Mr. Mu, I know that Butler Zhao must be in trouble.
"Don't bother Mr. Laurin, these officials will ask questions."
"Oh, the imperial envoy is kind, and this old man should have accepted it. However, the old man's duty is to govern this Southern Fujian Province. He is an official slave under the rule of Nan Fujian Province. How dare I bother the imperial envoy? At that time, the emperor will know, how can the old man afford to punish the old man for the crime of dereliction of duty?" After Lin Futong finished speaking, he looked at Mu Yuanxiu's face and added, "Of course, if the imperial envoy must not let the old man see He, the old man had no choice but to obey."
"Hehe, how dare I stop you, the lord of a province, from doing such things on your behalf? Your Excellency wants to see you, so go in and have a look." Mu Yuanxiu stopped him at the door and talked for so long, thinking He was already bored, and now seeing Chu Ci send someone to pass him a secret signal, knowing that everything was well arranged, he didn't bother to fight with him, so he went in directly after speaking.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Futong's face became a little ugly, just now he was not allowed to see him, but he felt happier in his heart.This will let him meet, and he started to beat drums in his heart again, fearing that Butler Zhao will be fine.
He anxiously followed Mu Yuanxiu into the room. There were a lot of people inside. Some famous doctors in the city gathered together at this time, and they were all busy prescribing medicines.He peeked at the bed, and saw Steward Zhao lying on it. Although his eyes were closed, his chest rose and fell steadily, and he didn't look like someone who was about to die.
Lin Futong had scratches in his palms, but he pretended to be calm. He casually pulled a doctor beside him who was prescribing a prescription and asked, "How is the man on the bed? When will he wake up?"
The doctor who was caught by him was about to get angry when he looked up and saw that it was the Governor. He immediately swallowed back the words he wanted to blurt out, and put on a flattering expression: "Lord Lin, don't worry, the person on the bed is fine. He just suffered some internal injuries, after taking my medicine, he will recover after a while. Probably he will wake up tomorrow morning."
Seeing that Governor Lin was so anxious, he thought that he wanted to interrogate him as soon as possible, so he assured him that there was no problem, and wanted to take this opportunity to please him.
Not only did Lin Futong not feel the pleasure of being flattered, but he wanted to kill people. This group of quack doctors are not good at treating diseases, and it's great to block people!Where did he think about this person?He wished that this person would die now!
The doctor saw Lin Futong's face turned pale, and thought that he was excited by the "good news".He broke free from Lin Futong's shackles, and then quickly prescribed the medicine. When the patient on the bed recovers, Master Lin will definitely be more grateful to him!
Lin Fu couldn't give up. How could he still be alive after the carriage fell from such a high place?If you don't die, you should be seriously injured!He pulled another doctor, but he heard exactly the same answer, so angry that he almost died on the spot.
Standing behind the screen, Chu Ci observed his expression, and his heart was filled with joy.Fortunately, they were well-prepared. Although they won't be able to find someone exactly like Butler Zhao for a while, there is still some resemblance. It doesn't matter if there is some blood on the face, as long as you don't get close.He expected that Lin Futong wouldn't come closer to take a look, but as long as the villains didn't kill people for fun, when facing someone who had been persecuted by him before, they would involuntarily run away with a guilty conscience, so they wouldn't dare to take a closer look.
"Master Lin, the Butler Zhao is still awake, why don't you just rest in this inn for one night, and when he wakes up tomorrow, you can ask him directly, how about it?" Mu Yuanxiu felt relieved now, and he was studying. He is extremely capable, just as Lin Futong was angry with him just now, he just smiled and went back angry.
"No need! I'd better come back tomorrow!" Lin Futong left a blunt refusal, and then left quickly.
Seeing this, Mu Yuanxiu ignored him, but walked around behind the screen and asked curiously: "How did you make him better all of a sudden, and you managed to hide it from those doctors?"
Chu Ci explained what he got when he helped investigate the case. Without this help, Lin Futong would be proud today.
"I see. It seems that this Japanese man still has some good things." Mu Yuanxiu stared eagerly at the bottle in Chu Ci's hand, as if eager to try.After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses: "Where is the real Steward Zhao? You can arrange someone to treat him."
Mentioning this, Chu Ci's face became a little heavy.
"Just now, under the guise of another name, I asked someone to feel the pulse of Butler Zhao in another room through a curtain. The doctor said that this person has no cure, so prepare for the funeral."
"Oh," Mu Yuanxiu sighed, "It seems that he won't be able to wake up. If he hadn't easily believed in Lin Futong back then, he wouldn't have ended up where he is today. Let's stay alive for the next few days." , and when he goes, bury him and his family together."
Chu Ci nodded, he also felt that Butler Zhao was too naive.If he held such a secret in his hands, he would definitely ask Lin Futong to send him out first, and then tell him after ensuring everyone's safety.Because Lin Futong had no choice, and at this moment, he couldn't spare so many people to deal with him.
However, it was too late to say anything now, and only the last few days of his life were left.The only thing they can do is to arrest Lin Futong and bring the dead to rest in peace.
"Do you think this Lin Futong will stop here?" Mu Yuanxiu thought of this question again. If Lin Futong really did nothing, they would really have nothing to do with him.They originally let out the wind, just to make him jump over the wall in a hurry.Unexpectedly, he was able to take a deep breath and come to see it in person.I don't know if the scene just now revealed anything. If he noticed it, this trip would be in vain.
"Looking at his face just now, I think he didn't notice anything. We must be careful tonight. If Lin Futong doesn't want his deeds to be revealed, he will definitely send someone to assassinate Steward Zhao." Chu Ci said very firmly. Said.
Mu Yuanxiu nodded. He brought many experts from Dali Temple with him on this trip.Dealing with just a few killers should be a trivial matter, he thought, Lin Futong shouldn't dare to send people from the government to surround and kill them, right?
Chu Ci and Mu Yuanxiu guessed right. After Lin Fu went back together, they were indeed planning to send someone to kill Steward Zhao.If possible, simply kill this imperial envoy as well.
Although the assassination of the imperial envoy will cause turmoil in the court, he can't control so much now.He is confident that all the evidence will be wiped out before the court sends new people down to investigate.
His men were just about to go out to follow orders when the door was pushed open.The person who came was Qi Luzhi, who had just heard Lin Futong's order outside the door, and he even ignored the rules in order to stop the people who were doing things.
"My lord, no!" Qi Lu yelled.
"Hmph, you came just in time. Just now you asked me to check whether they were playing tricks. The old man went to see, but the housekeeper surnamed Zhao will wake up tomorrow. By then, it will be too late for the old man to do anything!" Lin Fu Tong looked at Qi Luzhi coldly, if they hadn't worked together for many years, he would think that this person wanted to harm him.
"My lord, I still feel that there is something strange here."
"What evidence do you have?"
"I don't have any evidence, but based on my understanding of Chu Ci, it is absolutely possible that he is pretending to be a ghost. The cliff is 40 meters high, and the carriage turned over directly. How can I survive? Even if I am alive, It is absolutely impossible to suffer such a slight internal injury, and Steward Zhao's family members are all dead!" Qi Lu directly told Lin Futong his analysis, hoping that he could dispel that idea.
After hearing this, Lin Futong waved his hands as expected, signaling that his subordinates should not act yet.
"What you said makes sense, but what if Butler Zhao is really lucky and survives? The doctor said he would wake up tomorrow, what will he do then?" Lin Futong was still a little worried.
"My lord, don't worry. There's a secret person working in the post house. I'll ask her to find out the news later. I'm sure I'll be able to find out the truth soon. If it's true, my lord can take immediate action and kill her." They were all caught off guard." Qi Lu squinted his eyes, although Master Lin said he didn't see Chu Ci there, but he was sure that Chu Ci's child must be there.
Lin Futong's heart was finally relieved, he laughed, and patted Qi Luzhi's shoulder affectionately.
"Old Qi, I didn't expect you to be so calm at the critical moment. It seems that I usually blame you by mistake."
Qi Luzhi also laughed, and said: "My lord, you are so smart. You are a fan of the authorities. I am a bystander. Naturally, I think more."
After Lin Futong heard this, the corners of his mouth were still raised, but his eyes gradually turned cold.What a "bystander knows", is this person trying to choose himself out?They are grasshoppers on a rope, if something happens to him, Qi Luzhi will not even think about running away!
"Master Imperial Envoy." Lin Futong had no embarrassment in the face of his questioning, as if they were good friends all along.
"I heard that the official slaves have been found back? If it wasn't for the old man's helplessness, they wouldn't have let them escape like this. Thank you, the imperial envoy, for helping the old man solve a troublesome matter..."
