Chapter 164 Not satisfactory
"Mrs. Xu's tongue is gone."
Lin Ruqian just said this.
His second sentence was: "Bao'er, we have to go to the Chang family study to take a look."
On the way, Lin Bao'er was still in shock.
From the time the incident was exposed to the time she was imprisoned, it was only three days. Mrs. Xu's tongue was cut off so quickly?
Who did it?
However, it can be seen from this that Chang Wei is indeed a bit shrewd.
The Chang family has a mansion in Xihe Street. Because they work for the prince, many people flock to them, and they are also rich.
After arriving outside the mansion, the two found that the gate of the Chang Mansion was sealed, and there were two soldiers on duty outside the door.
Seeing this, the two of them slipped directly to the other side of the mansion. After finding a courtyard wall with a lower geographical location, they were ready to climb over the wall.
Looking at Lin Ruqian who fell down many times, Lin Baoer covered her face with her hands, "Third brother, can you do it?"
Lin Ruqian's expression froze, and he rubbed his aching buttocks and said stubbornly, "Okay!"
After trying again, he finally climbed up the high wall with all his strength.
Lin Ruqian lay on it panting, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stretched out his hand to Lin Baoer, "Baoer, come here, third brother will pull you."
Lin Baoer blinked at him, said nothing, and suddenly turned in a direction, and then found a dog hole in Lin Ruqian's shocked eyes, dug the weeds in the dog hole for a while, and then crawled in.
After brushing off the dust on her body, Lin Baoer showed Lin Ruqian a toothy smile, "Hehe, third brother, I forgot to tell you there is a dog hole here."
Lin Ruqian almost couldn't maintain the expression on his face, and kept brainwashing himself in his heart - how could he, the third son of the Lin family, go to climb a dog hole!
But until he fell from the high wall, he immediately regretted it.
The dog hole seems not bad.
Lin Baoer helped the grinning Lin Ruqian up from the corner and sighed heavily.
[Alas, third brother's physique seems not to be very good. ]
Lin Ruqian pouted aggrievedly and rubbed his waist.
After they came in, they found that behind this wall should be an abandoned yard, overgrown with weeds, and it didn't look like anyone had lived there at all.
The Chang Mansion was not big, but it was not small either. They did not know where the study was, so they could only look for it one by one.
On the way, they found that the whole Chang Mansion must have been looted and was in a mess. All kinds of valuable things were gone, and what was left were some worthless things.
Seeing this, Lin Ruqian's heart sank.
He was afraid that the study had also been turned over.
Sure enough, when they found the study, they found that the door of the study was wide open, and there were many things scattered on the ground. The pens, ink, paper, inkstone, calligraphy and paintings were all in a mess. It was obvious that they had been turned over.
"Third brother, did Madam Xu tell you where that thing is?" Lin Baoer picked up a calligraphy and painting and looked at it. She couldn't make any sense of it, so she threw it aside.
Lin Ruqian shook her head and searched everywhere, "I only recognized the word 'study room'."
Mrs. Xu was probably in a state of confusion at the time, and the soldier kept urging her to write very quickly, so she could not recognize many words. Most of the others were too messy to recognize at all.
Seeing this, Lin Baoer gave up and could only search everywhere aimlessly.
[I remember that in TV dramas, studies always have some kind of dark room or secret door? I don't know if this one has one.]
Lin Baoer imitated the TV drama and touched everywhere on the wooden shelf next to her, but due to her limited height, she could only touch the lowest two layers.
"Creaky."
Lin Baoer's ears moved and she stared at a place.
She looked at the book in her hand and moved again tentatively.
"Creaky."
She was surprised and quickly turned all the books over.
[No way! I actually found it?!]
A dull sound was heard, and a black hole suddenly appeared on the other wall.
Judging from the appearance of the hole, it should have been blocked by a painting before, so even if someone accidentally touched the mechanism, it would not be easily discovered.
And it happened that because those people violently searched for valuables, they threw the painting on the ground, which made the place see the light of day.
"Third brother! Here!"
Lin Ruqian took out the things in the hole, which were several letters.
The content inside was that a person threatened Chang Wei with the whole family of Chang Mansion, asking him to do something for him, and at that time, Chang Xu disappeared, so Chang Wei thought that his son was in the hands of the other party, so he had to listen to the order. At the same time
, there was also a broken finger.
Lin Ruqian observed the broken finger, his brows gloomy, "It's a child's."
When she thought of the content in the letter, Lin Baoer felt a chill down her spine.
[Could this broken finger belong to that Chang Xu? ]
Perhaps it was because of seeing this broken finger that Chang Wei chose to betray Song Mo.
The handwriting on the letter was very beautiful, very much like the handwriting of a woman, but apart from the content, there were no other clues.
As a last resort, Lin Ruqian had to take all of this back and give it to Lin Zhiyu.
After asking Song Mo, he learned that when he found Chang Xu, he did find that he had a broken finger on his hand. At that time, he was puzzled about this matter, thinking that the officers and soldiers would not torture privately, but he did not investigate the matter at that time. He did not expect that the fact would be like this.
"Who wrote this letter..."
Song Mo clenched the letter and slammed it on the table. His usually gentle face was filled with anger.
Lin Baoer in the corner shook her feet and her mind was full of ideas.
[Anyway, I think it must be related to Shen Ruyu. The Prime Minister's Mansion is gone, the Third Prince is gone, and all the villains are gone. As a result, she showed up and caused so many troubles. It's obvious that she is not a good person. ]
[But where did she get so many people? If she wants to get rid of the prince's trusted family members without anyone noticing, there must be someone behind the scenes helping her. ]
[Is there another villain that I don't know about? ]
Without the help of the plot, Lin Baoer could only rely on her own guessing.
But there was one good thing, she knew that Shen Ruyu was not a good person, so she could determine the candidate of the enemy without having to look for a needle in a haystack.
When she thought that her life was not safe, Lin Baoer sighed with a heavy heart.
I don’t know what Shen Ruyu is planning...
Thinking about it, Lin Baoer suddenly got a start and raised her head.
[Is the third prince still in prison? Could he have been rescued a long time ago? ! ]
Hearing her thoughts, Lin Zhiyu took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes.
In this way, the evidence was directly cut off. Even though they knew that it was very likely that Shen Ruyu did it, there was no evidence.
In desperation, Song Mo had to inform the emperor of the matter, hoping that he would be lenient with it.
But the result was not satisfactory.
