Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 25
[Chapter 25 “Treatment”]
Qingli Division.
During the lunch break, people from all the yamen were discussing.
“Is it true? Is Lin Wenshu so amazing?”
“That’s right, you didn’t see it. Several of us almost dug the mansion of that mansion three feet deep, but we didn’t find any clues. Lin Wenshu stood in the yard from beginning to end, and didn’t even move, but he knew who the real murderer was. Isn’t this amazing?” “
This time, even Lord Zhou made a mistake. If it weren’t for Lin Wenshu’s reminder, this murder case would have been smuggled away by that guy…”
Almost the entire Qingli Division was discussing Wang Yuanwai’s case. The fact that the murder case was solved was not the point. The point was that the case was not solved by the arrest division, but by a clerk in the case file library. Several detectives from the arrest division spread the story as if it was miraculous, which also cast a veil of mystery over Lin Wenshu of the Qingli Division.
In a government room, the doctor of the Qingli Division took a sip of tea and said in surprise: “Is it true?”
Liu Qingfeng looked a little confused, but still nodded and said: “It is true. I still can’t figure it out. That person didn’t leave any traces. How did he find the murderer?”
“Didn’t you ask him?”
“I asked, and he said he guessed…”
Liu Qingfeng didn’t believe Lin Xiu’s words at all, and said flatly: “He must have seen something we didn’t see. What exactly did I miss…”
The doctor of the Qingli Division put down the teacup and chuckled: “Even you didn’t find it. Interesting, interesting…”
…
Lin Mansion.
Lin Xiu didn’t go back to the Qingli Division with those people. Wang Yuanwai’s house was not far from Lin’s house. After leaving there, Lin Xiu went straight home.
On the way back, Lin Xiu bought chicken legs and elbows for Da Huang. He only found out today that learning another language is so important. Wang Er probably never thought until his death that he did everything to the extreme, but the only thing he neglected was the bird.
Who would have thought that he would be betrayed by a bird?
It’s a pity that Lin Xiu can only understand the words of animals unilaterally now, otherwise it would be much easier to solve such a case. Even if the bird didn’t say the truth of the case today, he could ask it himself.
According to the records of this ability in the classics, in order to achieve two-way communication with animals, his ability needs to be awakened at least once.
The root of the problem is that the Yuan force in Lin Xiu’s body is too weak to support him to display higher-level abilities.
Only by practicing hard and increasing Yuan force can the ability be developed more deeply.
Speaking of practice, the fastest way is to absorb Yuan crystals. I don’t know if the ice in the palace has been used up, and when he will be summoned to the palace again. Before, Lin Xiu was very unhappy with the emperor’s freeloading, but now he is full of expectations.
One is for ice, and the other is for Yuan crystals. This is a win-win situation.
Li Zongguan came earlier than Lin Xiu expected.
At noon the next day, he came to the Lin family again.
Fortunately, Lin Xiu went to Zhaiyue Tower early in the morning and helped them make enough ice, so he didn’t have to trouble Lingyin to help him.
Li Zongguan smiled and said, “Mr. Lin, I have to trouble you again this time.”
Lin Xiu said politely, “No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Li can just send someone here, why bother to come here in person.”
Li Zongguan said, “I will feel relieved if I pick you up in person. This morning, many of the ice in the palace has run out, and the ladies are urging us. Mr. Lin, please come with us quickly. We can talk about anything while we walk.”
Lin Xiu walked out of the house, and the carriage in the palace was waiting outside. It
is indeed much more convenient to have a carriage. Lin Xiu has made a fortune in the past few days. He plans to come back today, so he asked Sun Dali to prepare one. With a carriage, he doesn’t have to walk so long every day.
The carriage in the palace was driving on the street, and the crowd avoided it from a distance, making way for a passage. In a short while, Lin Xiu had arrived in front of the palace gate.
After walking through several long palace roads and entering the harem, he went to the Yongning Palace of the Queen as usual.
This time, Lin Xiu finally met the mother of a country.
The harems of the Great Xia Emperor each have their own merits, but they all have one thing in common, that is, beauty.
The Empress is also a beauty. Compared with other imperial concubines, she is more dignified and has a more outstanding temperament. She is admiring flowers in the courtyard. Li Zongguan stepped forward and said a few words respectfully. The Empress just nodded slightly, without looking at Lin Xiu and the others, and continued to admire the orchids in the small garden.
Lin Xiu just glanced and looked away. After all, he was not old enough, and his taste was different from that of the Great Xia Emperor.
He likes imperial sisters, not young wives.
Although these concubines are beautiful, Lin Xiu has no idea how many beautiful women he has seen. His previous girlfriends are naturally not as good as them in terms of temperament, but their looks are not necessarily inferior.
After Yongning Palace, it is Changchun Palace.
Before entering Changchun Palace, Lin Xiu had already mentioned a few cautions. After getting familiar with Li Zongguan, he secretly told Lin Xiu that this imperial concubine was moody. When she was happy, she would reward generously. When she was unhappy, the palace maids and eunuchs of Changchun Palace would punish her severely if they made her dissatisfied.
The imperial concubine was obviously very unhappy now.
As soon as he entered Changchun Palace, he saw a group of people standing or kneeling in the courtyard. The elegant and noble imperial concubine, at this moment, had a face full of evil. A little palace maid knelt on the ground, her body trembling.
Lin Xiu actually saw an acquaintance here.
The girl still had her hair in a double bun, with airy bangs, and two white ribbons hanging down from her bun. Today she wore a light yellow Luo skirt, and was now stroking the spirit beast that looked like a cat but was not a cat.
The last time Lin Xiu saw it, it was still full of energy, lying on the imperial concubine’s chest, which was at least a D cup, enjoying itself. Now it was listless, and it was making waves of sobbing sounds.
The imperial concubine looked at Bai Shuangshuang and asked, “What’s wrong with Nannan?”
The girl put down the spirit beast and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, imperial concubine, Shuangshuang is not very skilled, and I can’t tell what disease the spirit pet has.”
Hearing the sobbing sound of the spirit beast, Lin Xiu almost laughed.
This little thing was not sick at all, it was clearly a thorn in its foot, and it was crying out in pain. Although Miss Shuangshuang had a similar ability to heal, she couldn’t understand what it said, and couldn’t help it pick out the thorn on its foot, so of course she was powerless to do anything about it.
After hearing what Miss Shuangshuang said, the Imperial Concubine’s face became even colder. She looked at the little palace maid kneeling on the ground and said coldly: “I asked you to take good care of Nannan. I was only away for a while, and Nannan became like this. Come, drag her away and beat her with thirty sticks!” The little palace maid’s
body trembled even more, but she didn’t dare to beg for mercy.
She knew that once she opened her mouth, the punishment she would receive would only be heavier.
Miss Shuangshuang looked at the little palace maid kneeling on the ground and couldn’t bear it. Just as she was about to speak, a figure came forward. When Chief
Steward Li saw Lin Xiu walking up, he was startled and wanted to pull him back, but it was too late.
Lin Xiu walked up to the Imperial Concubine, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, “Your Highness, I know a little bit about medicine. Can you let me take a look at this pet?”
The Imperial Concubine had some impression of Lin Xiu. He was the one who came to Changchun Palace to make ice two days ago. She was concerned about the pet and asked, “Are you telling the truth?”
Lin Xiu nodded and said, “It should be fine.”
The Imperial Concubine immediately said, “Quick, let him take a look.” An eunuch immediately
picked up the listless pet and handed it to Lin Xiu.
At this moment, everyone’s eyes, including the Imperial Concubine and Bai Shuangshuang, were on Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu gently stroked the fur of the Imperial Concubine’s pet. The pet in his arms was still whimpering. This sound was painful sobbing to others, but to Lin Xiu’s ears, it was clearly the crisp voice of a little girl.
“It hurts so much…”
“My feet hurt so much!”
“It hurts so much…”
“Someone help me pull it out…”
…
Lin Xiu was actually a little surprised. It was recorded in the classics that once the ability of animal language is awakened once, one can understand the words of animals. He originally thought that the animals here refer to cats and dogs, but he didn’t expect that it also includes cats with wings. After
pretending to search for a while, Lin Xiu turned the pet over and checked its four feet. When he checked the last one, Lin Xiu pushed aside the two thick pads under its feet and pulled out a sharp thorn from the hidden part between the two pads.
The thorn was very small and hidden in a very secret place. If the two pads on the soles of the pet’s feet were not separated, it would be impossible to find it.
As the thorn was pulled out, the pet in Lin Xiu’s arms let out a comfortable groan, turned over and jumped out of Lin Xiu’s arms, jumping on the ground, and instantly recovered its spirit.
The imperial concubine showed a happy expression and blurted out: “Okay, Nannan is really fine!”
