The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

The next day.

Shen Chen got up early and rushed to the Yamen to arrange the scene where Yueqin's body was displayed to the public.

When he stood up, Lin Xi felt it and opened his eyes in a daze: "Are you going? Then I'll go with you..."

"No, madam, please sleep a little longer and have breakfast together when I come back."

Shen Chen leaned over and kissed Lin Xi's forehead. Lin Xi didn't force anything after hearing this. She waved her hand at him casually, turned over and continued to sleep, without even noticing that Shen Chen was gone.

When she woke up again, Lin Xi heard voices outside. It was Shen Chen and Lin Yiling. The two seemed to be chatting about the proprietress of the rouge shop.

Lin Xi stretched out in bed, then stood up, changed his clothes and opened the door.

"What are you talking about?"

The two of them turned around when they heard the noise and saw her. Shen Chen took the initiative and said, "I have asked people to spread the news that Yue Qin was captured in the Yamen. The body is on a street on the east side of the Yamen and is guarded by officials."

Doctor Lin immediately said: "I also went out to see the landlady this morning! As you expected, she was really upset after knowing the news. She went out several times, but she seemed to be worried about something, but she didn't Go to the Yamen to check."

Lin Xi thought for a moment and said: "She may have been pretending to be hungry so much that Yue Qin had already escaped, and it was unlikely that she would be caught by the Yamen. She also felt that she had just come out of the Yamen, so no one was watching her, and she was afraid that if she went there rashly, she would endanger Yue Qin. It doesn't matter, in this world, no mother will care about her guilt-ridden and loving daughter. She won't be able to bear it for long."

"That's right. There are so many people during the day, so she might wait until it's quiet at night before going there." Shen Chen also thought the same, "I've already told her to go down and have fewer people guarding her at night, just keep an eye on her in the dark." .”

Hearing this, Doctor Lin ordered some snacks, "That's good. I'll wait patiently until night."

"Yeah, just wait, there's no point in rushing."

Lin Xi was so hungry that his stomach growled, so he said, "Have you had breakfast? If not, I will make you some braised noodles. I really want to eat that."

Shen Chen always ate whatever Lin Xi did, so he immediately nodded and said: "Okay."

Doctor Lin was curious: "What is braised noodles? Is it your unique way of eating noodles in the south?"

"Maybe there's one here too, I haven't noticed it. Oh, you'll know when I make it." After saying that, Lin Xi went to cook and asked Shen Chen to wake up Erbao.

And they stayed in the inn all day today, which caused Erbao to curiously ask them if they had finished their cases.

Lin Xi said no, she was waiting for the suspect to be arrested at night.

Erbao was already a little sleepy, so he stayed awake after hearing this, wanting to see how the suspect they mentioned was caught.

Not long after, the news really came. An official from the Yamen came to report to Shen Chen that he had really caught the proprietress of the rouge shop and came to ask him to make a decision.

Shen Chen tidied up and decided to go to the Yamen.

Lin Xi also wanted to follow him, but looked at Erbao, but felt uneasy, and finally turned his attention directly to Lin Yiling.

Dr. Lin, who originally wanted to go, saw the shame and waved his hands and said: "Okay, I'll take care of your children! I really owed you a debt in my previous life. Remember to ask me clearly about your questions."

"Okay, no problem!"

Lin Xi agreed immediately and told Erbao to listen to Dr. Lin's words.

Erbao nodded obediently.

Lin Xi then left with Shen Chen, and soon arrived at the Yamen. Officials led him to the prison cell, where he saw the restless landlady imprisoned there.

As soon as the landlady noticed someone coming, she immediately turned her head and looked at him warily.

When she saw Lin Xi, she was suddenly stunned: "You...how..."

Lin Xi felt a little guilty, scratched her nose and said hello: "Yes, it's me, long time no see."

The proprietress understood instantly and rushed over angrily: "I trust you so much, treat you sincerely, recommend so many rouges to you, and don't charge you any money! I also said so many heart-breaking words to you! You But he was sent by the Yamen to deliberately tell lies!"

Lin Xi subconsciously took a step back.

Shen Chen also moved a step to the side, blocking Lin Xi, and said quietly: "I asked my wife to do my duty, and it has nothing to do with my wife. If you want to hold a grudge, then grudge me."

"You are all in the same boat!"

It was blocked by a door and the landlady couldn't get out, so she could only curse angrily.

Lin Xi sighed, came out from behind Shen Chen, and said, "So my guess is good, Yue Qin is the daughter you mentioned, right?"

The landlady's expression froze and she suddenly turned away: "I don't know what you are talking about!"

"If Yue Qin is not your daughter, why did you secretly look at the body in the middle of the night? For the Yamen, this is a fact that can be understood with your toes. There is no use in denying it." Lin Xi said.

Hearing this, the wife of the boss looked frustrated and angry, and yelled: "So what? I tell you, you can't even try to get her whereabouts out of me. I don't know anything, I don't know! Even if you treat me Even though I was tortured to extract a confession, I don’t know anything!”

After saying that, she turned back, got on the earthen kang covered only with hay, sat in the corner, hugged herself, and refused to speak any more.

Seeing this, Shen Chen frowned, turned his head and said to Lin Xi: "Madam, you go out first, and I will interrogate her."

Lin Xi became worried upon hearing this.

When she was in Jinling, she had heard that Shen Chen was very powerful, and his interrogation methods were particularly first-class. There were not many people who could keep silent in his hands.

But for the previous use, Lin Xi felt a little ashamed of the landlady and didn't want to see the landlady...

"I'm not going out. Shen Chen, let me try." Lin Xi said.

Shen Chen looked at Lin Xi intently and nodded for a moment, "Okay, follow me, madam."

Lin Xi stepped forward, looked at the proprietress in the cell, and said, "You don't want to tell us anything. Do you want to see your daughter die miserably?"

The landlady stiffened.

Lin Xi continued to speak; "Do you know the identity and situation of your daughter Yue Qin? It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can tell you in detail now."

"Your daughter Yueqin comes from the north. She was a spy planted by the Hu people. I don't know how she did it. In short, she knew a confidant of a high-ranking official in the court, and they had a good relationship. And the confidant found that the official he was loyal to had done a lot Unfavorable things happened, and he no longer wanted to be loyal, so he brought a list of countless officials who had rebelled against Qin, Tonghu, and committed evil deeds, and met with Yueqin when he arrived here."

"But the official found out and sent someone to hunt down the person and get the list back. The person also died because of it, but the list was taken away by Yueqin, who wanted to use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for peace and benefits. But Yueqin didn't expect that this list It was so important that she was constantly being hunted, and many people around her died because of it."

Having said this, Lin Xi paused, looked at the boss's wife in the cell, and said, "Do you think your daughter can escape those people's pursuit by running away with this list?"

The landlady trembled.

Lin Xi added: "Because of this list, the court is on the same side as her. So if you tell us the whereabouts of Yue Qin, we can find her and protect her while she is still alive. But if you don't tell us, she will continue

Escape, how many waves of pursuit do you think your precious baby daughter can escape?"

The landlady was stunned, with confusion and struggle flashing across her face.

After a long while, she looked at Lin Xi, "Why should I trust you?"

"Based on profit." Lin Xi said without hesitation.
