Lin Mengya, who was standing in the shade of the tree, frowned slightly. Her eyes were full of complex thoughts, and her beautiful side face showed a trace of sadness.
Was she sad for the old maid who died in vain?
She could smile at her enemies and inflict the cruelest inhuman torture, but she was moved by a strange old maid.
At this moment, Long Tianhao suddenly understood.
Lin Mengya was not too cruel, but she had a clear distinction between love and hate. An enemy was an enemy, so she would not show mercy at all.
Long Tianhao suddenly felt that he didn't know his princess at all.
"Well … Lin Kui, when you go back, interrogate all the servants and guards in the mansion. If this kind of thing happens again … "
Lin Kui cupped his hands and saluted. It was his duty to protect the safety of the mansion.
But now, such a thing happened. It was already a mercy that the prince did not blame them.
"I don't think it's necessary to make such a big fuss."
Lin Mengya smiled faintly, and there was a strange brilliance in her eyes.
They just wanted to fish in troubled waters.
If they were so serious, they would alert the enemy.
"What's your opinion, Princess?" After this lesson, Zhu Qiang was more respectful to Lin Mengya.
If Baili Wuchen saw him like this, he would probably be shocked and drop the paper fan that never left his body.
"I have my own plan, but I still need you to cooperate with me."
Lin Mengya smiled mysteriously and narrowed her eyes, causing those future pillars of the country to be shocked.
It seemed that the most terrible thing in the world was to be remembered by Princess Yu.
"Well, in this case, you can leave now. Lin Kui, let's go back."
Long Tianhao did not know why, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
All the women in the world, no matter how beautiful or intelligent they were, did not have this woman in front of him. She was so evil that she could be so open and honest.
"Prince, why is this teahouse abandoned?"
Zhu Qiang and others left, but Lin Mengya looked at the lonely and dilapidated second floor and asked thoughtfully.
"Five years ago, there was a fire here and many people were burned to death. Later, I heard that this place was haunted, so the owner of this teahouse sold it at a low price. "
Lin Kui replied. If it weren't for the fact that the owner of the teahouse used to be the prince's subordinate, they wouldn't have bought this courtyard.
"Haunted? Heh, I'll have to take a good look. "
As a medical student, he had heard of the top ten legends and eight great ghosts in the medical school.
She wasn't scared. She had once spent an entire night doing experiments in a lab that was said to be haunted.
With light steps, Xiao Chen's slender figure walked to the main courtyard of the teahouse without fear.
Why was this girl not afraid of anything?
Long Tianhao looked at the figure, and there was a trace of suspicion in his eyes.
He had never believed in ghosts and gods, but the common people had a strong belief in such things. As a result, the imperial court had no choice but to instruct the Ministry of Rites to build a temple for the people to worship.
After passing through the inner door, Lin Mengya saw the same deserted teahouse.
She could still vaguely see the past glory of the burnt door frame. If it weren't for the fact that the front door of the courtyard was locked, which isolated this messy place from the bustling Qianmen Street, this should be the most elegant teahouse in the capital city.
"Be careful."
Suddenly, a pair of hands stretched out from behind and naturally hugged Lin Mengya's slender waist.
She turned around and saw Long Tianhao's chiseled side profile. His handsome eyes and brows were so handsome that even a god who descended from heaven would not look like him.
This was the first time in her life, including her previous life, that Lin Mengya was slightly distracted by a man's side profile.
"Since the fire, this place hasn't been repaired. Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
He let go of Lin Mengya. It turned out that there was a small weathered floor at the entrance of the teahouse.
If Lin Mengya had stepped on it, she would have sprained her ankle.
"Oh, thank you." Lin Mengya lowered her eyes to hide her shyness.
She walked more carefully in the dilapidated teahouse, looking for traces of the so-called haunting.
Although the teahouse had been destroyed by the fire, the overall architectural framework was still there. The strange thing was that the stairs were made of wood, but they were still very solid, and even the basic shape had not changed.
"Lin Kui, lend me your knife."
Lin Mengya stretched out her slender hand, touched the burnt stairs, and knocked on it. Suddenly, there was some joy in her eyes.
Although he didn't know what the princess meant, Lin Kui obediently offered his knife. Lin Mengya took it and scratched it hard, and there was a metal sound!
"This is!?"
Long Tianhao and Lin Kui looked at each other and asked their own questions at the same time.
Lin Mengya tore off the hem of her dress without any hesitation and wiped the part that had just been scratched.
"You two, close your eyes and look!"
Because of Lin Mengya's action, there was a faint metal luster in the small area. As she rubbed it, it became brighter and brighter, and finally, the golden surface was revealed.
Lin Kui went forward and knocked on it, looking at Long Tianhao in shock.
Oh my god, the stairs of this teahouse were actually made of real gold!
"How could this be …"
Lin Mengya smiled and looked at the teahouse. She kept knocking on the beams and walls of the teahouse with the steel knife in her hand.
Except for some places that were more seriously scorched, there was a metal sound everywhere.
"Princess, are you saying that this teahouse is made of gold? It's such a big deal. Even if … even if it's the gold in the national treasury, I'm afraid it will consume five years' worth of taxes! "
Long Tianhao seemed to be thinking, and inadvertently met Lin Mengya's eyes. He was slightly moved. The two of them actually had an amazing tacit understanding.
"It seems that there are no ghosts and strange things here at all. Those people who are mysterious just don't want the secret of the teahouse to be leaked. As for why, after the prince bought it, those ghosts no longer appeared. That's because they treat the prince as a free bodyguard. "
Lin Mengya also found it by accident.
There were traces of fire everywhere in this courtyard, and the small houses in the backyard were all burned down.
But as the main teahouse, it was still standing. The main structure was not damaged at all.
The ancient smelting technology was very backward, and it was impossible to have such strong steel. What's more, most of the buildings were made of wood.
Why was this small building the only thing that was left in that fire?
The only possibility was that this building was not made of wood at all, but a kind of metal that was very resistant to high temperature.
As the saying goes, true gold fears no fire. Perhaps it was only gold.
Long Tianhao was a prince, and he was not short of money at all. He certainly would not spend a lot of effort to renovate a small teahouse.
Therefore, this secret could be hidden.
"Well, what you said is very reasonable. Lin Kui, go back and ask people to move all the gold back to the mansion overnight. Do it overnight, and don't leave a trace of gold behind. "
Long Tianhao looked at this small building and frowned slightly. He was a little puzzled that he had picked up such a bargain.
Logically speaking, his former subordinate was just a small military officer.
One of his legs was broken on the battlefield, so it was impossible for him to have so much gold.
Now, it seemed that he didn't know what kind of background this person had.
"Wait, don't be in a hurry. Lin Kui, let me ask you, why did you send the corpse to the icehouse in this small courtyard? At that time, I remember that I just told you to find a place where there was no one, right? "
From the moment she entered this small courtyard, Lin Mengya smelled a trace of a conspiracy.
Long Tianhao also stared at Lin Kui with his long and narrow eyes, which made Lin Kui's forehead covered with a thin layer of sweat in an instant.
"Your Highness, you are so wise. This place was not found by me. That night, I wanted to put the corpse in an icehouse in the west corner of our mansion, but I met a steward at the door of the icehouse. I lied to him that it was a wild boar sent by the hunters in the village. Prince Yu couldn't eat it in a short time, so he put it here. But he said that the icehouse in the mansion was mostly used to store fresh fruits for the masters to eat in summer. If it was polluted by other things, it would not be good for the masters. It was only after his reminder that I remembered that there was an ice cellar in this abandoned courtyard. "
After hearing Lin Kui's words, Lin Mengya frowned.
At that time, the spy who disguised as the old maid had said that she was under the steward's order.
She thought that the steward was so bold, but now it seemed that. There was something wrong with the steward.
"Your Highness?" Lin Mengya looked at Long Tianhao and was ready to ask for his opinion.
Long Tianhao's eyes were gloomy, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Didn't you just say that you have a good plan? Do what you want to do. "
After getting permission, Lin Mengya whispered in Lin Kui's ear for a moment.
Then, Lin Kui looked at the princess suspiciously, but he had to obey and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard.
Suddenly, there were only Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao in the teahouse.
Looking at the room full of gold, Lin Mengya suddenly chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?"
Long Tianhao put away his thoughts and planned not to interfere with Lin Mengya's plan.
Although Lin Mengya was smart and had many tricks that he had never heard of, after all, she was an army in the boudoir, and her way of doing things was different from his.
Therefore, Long Tianhao also had his own plan, but he was looking forward to Lin Mengya's performance.
This woman was always full of surprises. She had brought him endless surprises. Although he didn't want to admit it, every time he saw her get her way, he would feel a little too happy when he saw her smiling gently, but the corners of her eyes and the tips of her eyebrows revealed a smug look.
