Chapter 436 Professional Matching

"The phoenix chariot comes back half-drunk in search of spring, and the fairies enter the water to open the curtains. The peonies laugh and the golden sparkles move, and the purple bamboo shoots of Wuxing are heard."

Lin Chen looked at the tea leaves floating in the bowl and couldn't help but glance at Zhuge Shenhou who was sitting opposite him and reciting a poem.

He is not a tea person.

Lin Chen raised his hand and took a sip from the tea cup, thoughtfully.

When Zhuge Shenhou saw this, he couldn't help but joked: "Is this tea suitable for General Lin?"

Without waiting for Lin Chen's answer, Zhuge Shenhou introduced it with great interest: "Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoot is called the best tea in the world by Tea Sage Lu Yu, and it is also a tribute tea from this dynasty."

"I finally got a little bit of it with great difficulty. I am not willing to make a pot of it when the distinguished guest comes today." Zhuge Shenhou sighed with an incomprehensible tone.

Lin Chen twitched the corner of his mouth, but ignored the old fox's roundabout temptations and straight to the point: "This time, Liumenmen may have arrested the wrong person."

"oh?"

When Zhuge Shenhou heard Lin Chen's words, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

As for why Lin Chen was here, he naturally came to Liumen to find people.

Things have to start a few days ago.

At that time, Lin Chen left home because of the Zixiao Kunlun Conference, and the imperial examinations held every three years coincided with this year.

Candidates from all over the country who participated in the Qiu Wei period arrived in Beijing early and waited for the exams to begin.

Among them was someone who could be considered Lin Chen’s friend, Li Xunhuan!

When Lin Chen led the army to quell the White Lotus Rebellion, he made an appointment with Li Xunhuan to meet again in the capital the following year.

No, Li Xunhuan came to Beijing to take the exam. He came to the capital early to settle down, and he didn't forget to send a greeting card to the Lin family.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen was not at home, and the two missed each other.

However, Li Xunhuan still has his cousin Lin Shiyin as a relative in the capital.

Lin Shiyin, who chose to run away from home, is definitely the first woman to awaken in this era.

As a member of the female stream, she served as a medical officer in the Habayashi Guards, with an official rank of up to sixth rank.

Of course, a mere sixth-grade medical officer is nothing in a capital city where fifth- and sixth-grade courtiers are inferior to dogs.

But Lin Shiyin was a doctor appointed by the Empress Dowager, and her status was different again.

In other words, there are basically no ignorant people who would provoke the famous person next to the Queen Mother.

When Li Xunhuan arrived in the capital, he met Lin Shiyin several times.

Lin Shiyin was also teased by Li Xunhuan about whether her relationship with General Lin was closer.

However, after Li Xunhuan got an angry look from his cousin, he knew the result.

That's too far.

Lin Chen was entrusted by Lin Shiyin to come to Liumen to fish for Li Xunhuan.

It's a coincidence,

Li Xunhuan was imprisoned in Six Gates because he stayed in a brothel overnight and was implicated in the violent death of Liu Guogong's second son.

When Lin Chen learned the reason, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, is there such a coincidence in the world?

There are six gates where the four famous arrests are located, and there is also the old fox Zhuge Shenhou sitting in charge. How can we not see the strangeness in the case of the heirs of the Liu family?

Naturally, Jia Baoyu, who had no power to bind a chicken, could hurt the second son of the Liu family.

However, according to the results of his autopsy.

The second son of Liu Guogong did indeed suffer serious internal injuries in a brothel. The injuries occurred after he returned home and he died suddenly.

Judging from Zhuge Shenhou's eyesight.

The murderer of the second son of the Liu family must be a master of martial arts, starting in the acquired realm.

Even more coincidental.

Li Xunhuan was also having fun in that brothel that night, and the wing he was in was adjacent to Jia Baoyu and others.

It has to be said that the four famous arresters in these six doors have some real abilities.

Through clues, the future Li Tanhua was found and arrested and imprisoned.

As for why the Six Doors were able to accurately find Li Xunhuan?

That night, when Li Xunhuan and several scholars were getting drunk, he talked about his martial arts skills.

It can only be said that Li Xunhuan, who has not experienced the severe beatings in the original book, is no different from an ordinary playboy.

Fortunately, the few scholar friends Li Xunhuan had known quickly rushed around to help him after hearing the news.

After learning about Lin Shiyin's existence from Li Xunhuan, he sought Lin Shiyin's help.

Then Lin Shiyin begged Lin Chen again.

So it happened that Lin Chenjia, the general of Yulin, came to visit the six gates.

What a deal.

Lin Chen rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache.

Based on his understanding of Li Xunhuan, the latter would never be able to assassinate Liu Guogong's second son.

There was no grudge between the two parties, so why did Li Xunhuan commit such a murderous act?

only.

When Zhuge Shenhou heard that Lin Chen wanted to take Li Xunhuan away, the smile on his face did not diminish, but he did not let go.

"General Lin, the six gates are a place of punishment and prison, not a single hall for one family."

This is obviously official talk.

Who doesn’t know that these six doors are controlled by you, Zhuge Shenhou?

It's just that Lin Chen can't expose Zhuge Shenhou's background. If he reveals such things, he will offend people.

Of course, it seems that this matter is not without improvement.

"The Lord Shen doesn't know that this friend of mine is the candidate for this imperial examination." Lin Chen paused, but did not continue.

"Understood."

Zhuge Shenhou pretended to be stunned, then nodded and said, "General Lin, don't worry, I will definitely investigate the case and find the murderer as soon as possible."

The implication.

As long as Li Xunhuan is really not a murderer, it will not affect his participation in the imperial examination.

Yes.

Don’t think that political review is a modern exclusive system. In fact, ancient imperial examination review was more stringent than it.

Heirs of businessmen were not allowed to take part in the imperial examination, sons-in-law were not allowed to take part in the imperial examination, and even third-generation relatives of felons were not allowed to take part in the imperial examination.

After reaching a certain tacit understanding with Zhuge Shenhou, Lin Chen deliberately asked about some details of this case.

For example.

That night, Li Xunhuan was the only martial arts master in the restaurant.

What was the cause of the injuries that led to the death of Liu Guogong's second son? Is it internal strength or a hidden weapon?

In this regard, Zhuge Shenhou did not hide anything.

"Only Li Xunhuan has been found in the Six Doors."

When Lin Chen heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched imperceptibly.

have to.

"As for the young master of the Liu family, he was killed by a hidden weapon, with a flying needle piercing his eyebrows." Zhuge Shenhou couldn't help but have a look of solemnity on his face when he talked about this.

Logically speaking, such an injury should have resulted in death on the spot.

However, the murderer's technique was extremely sophisticated and actually delayed the death of the injured person for several hours!

Even the well-informed Zhuge Shenhou has never heard of such techniques.

"Flying needle?"

When Lin Chen heard the cause of death, he became more and more headache-y.

This is simply a scapegoat tailor-made for Li Xunhuan.

Even though Xiao Li's reputation as a flying knife is not yet unparalleled in the world today, he is already somewhat famous.

Li Xunhuan is not only a top martial arts master at the peak of acquired skills, but he also happens to be good at hidden weapons.

match of major!

No wonder Liumen was so decisive in arresting Li Xunhuan, who had already achieved great success.

Just when Lin Chen was thinking about who might have done it and why, he heard a burst of noise coming from outside.

When he got up to check, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Just look, the person who was ruthlessly escorted to the six doors turned out to be an acquaintance of his.

Jia Baoyu!

The young master of the Jia family was pale and frightened at the moment. He was obviously aware of the seriousness of the situation.

…
