"How could this be? Have you reported it to the government? "
Lin Mengya was shocked by the news brought by the servants.
This was under the foot of the world. How could such a tragic thing happen so quietly?
"I've reported it to the government, but the government said it was too serious, so I came back to report it first."
This matter was indeed of great importance.
Of course, the government had to handle it with extreme caution. Otherwise, the whole Capital City would fall into panic when this storm came out.
"You can leave now. I guess you've suffered a lot today. But this matter must not be spread out, understand? "
That person's body couldn't help but tremble, but he obediently nodded his head. This matter, let alone mentioning it, even thinking about it made him feel a chill down his spine.
After sending the servant out, Lin Mengya's heart was filled with anxiety.
"Father, it seems that you have to go and have a look in person. I always feel that what happened to Lord Shen must have something to do with the Shangguan family. "
Lin Mengya frowned. The heir of the Nan 'an Kingdom was assassinated and was on the verge of death. Then, Lord Shen, who might take over the military power from her father, and his family of 15 people suffered a disaster.
The timing of these two things was so coincidental. It was hard not to feel that there was a connection between them.
Moreover, although her father had resigned, there was one thing that absolutely could not be ignored.
If the emperor wanted to appoint someone else as the commander, then her father's opinion was absolutely the most important.
After all, only he knew the situation at the border. Therefore, if Shangguan Lei wanted to regain control of the military, the most important thing was to make her father unable to oppose it.
But her father was in a high position and was trusted by the emperor. If he wanted to kill her father, it would be too risky.
Therefore, if he had a way to get rid of all the suitable candidates.
At that time, even if her father opposed it, there would be no one in the court who could be used. For the sake of the war at the border, the emperor had to use him.
Perhaps what happened to the Shen family could also be done by someone else.
However, only Shangguan Lei, an old bastard who didn't even spare the old, the weak, women and children, could make the Shen family kneel and be beheaded.
At first, it was the Shen family. Who would it be next?
In the Flower Hall, Lin Mengya felt restless.
Just now, she had secretly sent someone to send a letter to the families who were on good terms with the Lin family.
Although she couldn't predict who would be the next victim of Shangguan Lei's vicious attack, she knew that Shangguan Lei would definitely kill her. However, she had already considered everything. At the very least, she could give everyone a reminder, which was better than anything else.
This was not the worst case scenario.
Soon, those servants who had gone to Lord Shen's house were released by the capital governor.
Lin Mengya asked them one by one and found that they were doing well at home. There was nothing unusual. Those who went to report the news also came back one after another.
Lin Mengya heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that there was no second Lord Shen.
It was getting dark. Lin Mengya forced herself to swallow a few mouthfuls of dinner and continued to wait in the Flower Hall.
Now, there was only no news from his father.
However, although his father was angry, he was not a reckless person. He believed that he should be able to control his emotions and investigate Lord Shen's matter.
Unlike in the past, this time, the government chose to investigate in secret.
Until now, there had been no such rumors among the spies that Qinghu had sent out.
It seemed that the capital governor also knew that this matter would involve many people, so he could only carry it out in secret.
In the Flower Hall, Lin Mengya paced back and forth.
Ever since the sun had set, every minute and every second that her father hadn't returned felt like an eternity to her.
If Shangguan Lei dared to do something to the Shen family, he might dare to do something to her father.
She hoped that her father could come back safely.
"I think you'd better sit down and wait. I'm going to get dizzy if you keep pacing back and forth like this."
Qinghu had been leaning against the door, and his lazy eyes were fixed on Lin Mengya.
"Why don't you go and have a look?"
Lin Mengya, who was feeling uneasy, immediately walked up to Qinghu and looked at him with her big watery eyes. The sincere pleading in her eyes almost made Qinghu, who was not very determined, nod his head in agreement.
However, at the last moment, Qinghu regained his senses.
She rolled her eyes and used a little force to press the guy who was worried about her into the seat.
"Don't worry. If Shangguan Lei still has a brain and doesn't want to fall out with the emperor, he won't choose to attack your father. Don't forget that your father also brings a lot of people with him when he goes out. Now, those people can at least be your father's amulet. Moreover, your father's martial arts are unfathomable. Even I may not be his match. "
Qinghu was a little surprised when he said this.
After spending a few days with Lin Muzhi, he found that Marquis Zhennan, who usually did not show his strength, was a top martial arts master.
In the martial arts world, there were only a few people who could surpass him when he was at his peak.
Therefore, he was a little curious. A general who lived in the imperial court would generally write about martial arts that were suitable for use on the battlefield.
However, even though his martial arts were not as good as before, he still had a sharp eye for people.
Lin Muzhi always gave him a feeling that he was unfathomable.
He had only experienced this feeling from two people before.
It seemed that the person in charge of the Lin family also had a lot of secrets. However, he didn't want to find out.
"That's true. But it's so chaotic outside. I'm still afraid that my father will be in danger. Alas, I shouldn't have let him go. It's all my fault for being so reckless. "
Lin Mengya patted her head and said with annoyance.
Qinghu could only say something to make her feel at ease for the time being. After all, it was a matter of great importance, and he couldn't guarantee anything.
Finally, the moonlight was thick, and the whole courtyard was lit up by candles.
Lin Mengya couldn't hold back anymore. Today, not only did her father not return, but Long Tianhao, who should have returned earlier, also did not show up.
In this world, the two men she cared about most did not appear in front of her as promised. This gradually made Lin Mengya's self-control gradually show signs of collapse.
"No, someone, prepare a sedan chair for me. I have to go out and have a look!"
Lin Mengya gave out a series of instructions. However, when the attendants saw Lin Mengya's restless expression, they all turned to look at Hongyu, who was standing beside her.
He quietly shook his head and signaled everyone to stay put.
Hong Yu briefly exchanged a look with Qinghu, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She grabbed Lin Mengya's right hand, which she unconsciously clenched because of nervousness.
"Master, don't panic. Old Master and the prince might be delayed by something. Moreover, the Capital City is so big. Even if you go looking for them, what if you go the wrong way with them? It'll be a waste of effort. At that time, you'll look for them, and they'll look for you. If this goes on, I'm afraid that there won't be any results even after dawn. Why don't you just sit here and let Qinghu bring people to look for them? At least in this way, if Old Master and the prince come back, you'll be the first to know, right? "
Hong Yu's words also enlightened Lin Mengya, who was confused because of her concern.
She forced herself to calm down. What was wrong with her? Why was she so restless? In the past, she had experienced things that were more dangerous than this.
Finally, Lin Mengya, who had been pacing back and forth, sat down in her seat.
She looked around and saw many pairs of concerned eyes.
"I'm sorry to have made you worry. It's getting late. You'd better go to bed. I think they should be back soon. "
The onlooker saw clearly, while the instigator was confused.
Perhaps it was because of Shangguan Lei's means that Lin Mengya was a little afraid for a moment.
This was not fear or cowardice. It was just that she was a little surprised by the opponent's moves.
Her clear mind quickly analyzed the current situation.
Father did not come back. Perhaps he wanted to investigate something with the help of the night.
After all, the fifteen people had died too cruelly and strangely. But before they died, they must have struggled.
With Lord Shen's extraordinary martial arts, although he was defeated in the end, he might have left something behind.
During the day, that place must have been blocked. Father had to hide, so it was possible for him to enter the Shen family smoothly to investigate.
As for Long Tianhao, it was impossible for the emperor not to know that such a big thing had happened in the Capital City.
Therefore, he should be kept in the palace by the emperor to discuss countermeasures.
After all, this kind of thing could not be made public. Only his son was confident.
What was more, it was a good general who was loyal to the emperor who had died. According to the emperor's temper, it was impossible for him not to be angry.
Thinking of this, the anxiety in Lin Mengya's heart quietly melted.
At least, it filled her mind with thinking, so she had less time to think.
Although Lin Mengya's analysis and speculation were very reasonable.
In order to force herself to calm down, Lin Mengya opened the music score for green stringed instrument in the Shen Nung system.
Since she got this thing, Lin Mengya had read it countless times.
But every time she read it again, the content would give her a new kind of inspiration.
Soon, Lin Mengya's forced reading paid off.
After a while, she devoted all her attention to the music score for green stringed instrument.
The people around thought that she was thinking about something, so they were all quiet and did not make any movement.
After a long time, Lin Mengya rubbed her sore temples.
