Chapter 38 Tracking
The two fortune-telling stalls were not far apart. Seeing Lin Hao coming, the fortune-teller smiled warmly.
Lin Hao retracted his gaze and shook his head: "It is said that masters are relatively cold and aloof. Those who are too enthusiastic are likely to be liars."
The candy figurine blower couldn't help but say, "Little girl, you'll get beaten if you talk like that."
Lin Hao smiled sheepishly and looked at Master Mingxin: "I still want to ask Master to calculate for me."
"Little girl, do you think I'm a master?" asked Master Mingxin with an unfathomable look.
Lin Hao raised his lips and said, "I mainly feel that you have a good eye for me. When I saw you today, I suddenly had the idea of asking you to tell my fortune."
As soon as he finished speaking, the vendors laughed.
"Old Wang, you haven't opened your shop all day, so don't refuse. Tell this girl's fortune."
What kind of expert is this? Because no one came to the fortune-telling stall, Lao Wang even borrowed money to buy steamed buns yesterday.
"Little girl, listen to my advice."
"You say."
"Stand up first."
Lin Hao stood up.
"The more you calculate your fortune, the worse it becomes. Little girl, you should not do fortune-telling casually at such a young age." After Master Mingxin said this, he pulled up the sign that read "Fortune Teller", put away the stool that Lin Hao had vacated, and walked away leisurely.
Lin Hao looked at the back of Master Mingxin and sighed secretly.
It was a coincidence that led to my meeting with the teacher in my previous life, but given the teacher's identity and situation, it is very difficult to get close to him in this life.
Fortunately, she was not obsessed with renewing her teacher-student relationship.
Those three years allowed her to learn a lot and enjoy a brief period of stability, but in reality, it was a prison. It didn't matter that she had no intention of escaping, but wanting to escape was impossible.
After witnessing her teacher's tragic death, she fled back to the capital, where the hunt for her never stopped.
But she didn't escape in the end.
Now that everyone she cares about is doing well, she doesn't want to get involved in muddy waters anymore, and there's no possibility of having a close relationship with her teacher.
I came here today and confirmed that the teacher is here. Her real purpose is to steal, oh, take a few letters.
Correspondence between the teacher and Qin Yunchuan, the Prince's Junior Tutor.
Emperor Pingle hides his identity and is obsessed with regaining the throne. The teacher went to the capital this time to try to win over Qin Yunchuan.
The teacher and Qin Yunchuan were good friends. After the incident, the teacher appeared in public as a fortune teller who seldom opened his business, while Qin Yunchuan became the prince's tutor.
In fact, with the secret efforts of people on Emperor Pingle's side over the years, some ministers have secretly developed other ideas, either for money, power, or to remember their former master.
With the successful precedent, the teacher wanted to try to persuade his former friend to switch sides.
The possibility of this happening is not high, so the teacher has another plan: if persuasion fails, he will find an opportunity to kill the child.
The other party also had the same idea. He exchanged letters with the teacher, pretending to be moved, and delayed time to find the teacher who changed his appearance.
Qin Yunchuan took action first, and most of the people who were secretly protecting the teacher were killed. The teacher escaped from the capital with injuries.
That was when she met her teacher.
The teacher's men killed the robbers not to save her, but because they were worried about revealing their whereabouts. When the secret guard raised his knife to her, the teacher spoke up to spare her life.
She never figured out the real reason why the teacher was willing to save her in that situation, but no matter what, she was saved by the teacher.
Emperor Tai'an had two sons, the Crown Prince and the Prince of Wei.
The Prince of Wei was born to a palace maid and had been obese since childhood. The Crown Prince inherited the good looks of Emperor Tai'an and the late Empress, and was extraordinarily handsome.
With only these two sons, Emperor Tai'an certainly would not despise the Prince of Wei, but it was absolutely impossible for the Prince of Wei to compete with the Crown Prince.
Both from a legal perspective and from the perspective of the emperor's favor.
Perhaps because his status was unshakable, he gradually lost his sense of awe. The older the prince got, the more absurd his behavior became. Master Qin was a rare person who could restrain him.
Lin Hao wanted to get those letters so that he could present them to Emperor Tai'an before Qin Yunchuan found Master Mingxin.
Qin Yunchuan's handwriting clearly indicated his intention to surrender to Emperor Pingle. Given Emperor Tai'an's suspicious nature, upon seeing those letters, he would certainly not tolerate Qin Yunchuan remaining by the Crown Prince's side.
Given the prince's absurdity, without anyone to restrain him, he will sooner or later cause a big mess.
This is a strategy that Lin Hao came up with.
She and the prince are like an egg and a rock. There is no hope if they clash head-on. The only way is to break them down from within and make them make mistakes on their own.
She believed that nothing was unshakable, and the position of crown prince was no exception. If the crown prince made enough mistakes, he would find an opportunity sooner or later, without her even having to do anything.
Taking the initiative to get rid of Qin Yunchuan also helped the teacher avoid a crisis.
This kills two birds with one stone.
Although today's contact with Master Mingxin was not smooth, Lin Hao was not discouraged.
Judging from the time, the teacher's contact with Qin Yunchuan had just begun, and it was not yet time to pick up the letter.
Lin Hao collected his thoughts and took Lin Xiaohua to another fortune teller.
"Little girl, do you want to have your fortune told?"
Lin Hao sat down leisurely and smiled: "Yes."
In a place where no one noticed, Master Mingxin withdrew his gaze and slowly shook his head.
He thought there was something fishy about the little girl, but it seemed he was overthinking it. As soon as he left, he went to see another fortune teller.
Master Mingxin took two steps, looked back, and instructed a young man who was approaching: "Follow that little girl and find out where she comes from."
The young man nodded imperceptibly and walked towards where Lin Hao was.
"Am I really satisfied? Thank you very much, sir." Lin Hao put down the fortune-telling money with a look of surprise and rode Lin Xiaohua back.
Did the teacher send someone to follow her?
Lin Hao suddenly turned around.
The young man following behind was a good tracker, but he couldn't prevent the person from suddenly turning back for no reason.
He used the pedestrians next to him to block most of his body and broke out in a cold sweat.
Almost got discovered!
No wonder the real person asked him to follow this little girl, this little girl is abnormal!
Lin Hao turned around and raised the corners of his lips.
Unexpectedly, the person following her was an acquaintance, Du Qing.
Their acquaintance was not a pleasant one. Du Qing was the one who killed the robber and then raised a knife to kill her.
What a disgusting person.
Lin Hao suddenly turned his head again.
This time, Du Qing didn't have time to hide, and could only rely on his strong psychological quality to move forward without changing his expression.
Lin Hao patted Lin Xiaohua, signaling it to speed up.
It’s better not to scare him. What if he scare her into wanting to kill her and now wants to silence her?
Lin Hao was not afraid that Master Mingxin would know her identity. Du Qing would only need to ask around to find out what had happened in the General's Mansion recently, and then the reason she had just mentioned for wanting to tell fortunes would be right.
Thinking of the people following behind him carefully, Lin Hao was in a good mood. He hummed a little tune while riding his donkey, leisurely walking towards the general's mansion.
"Miss Lin Er." A familiar voice came.
Lin Hao's body swayed and he almost fell off Lin Xiaohua's back.
Why did I meet the creditor again!
