Chapter 479 Provoking trouble
"Little Mengfei is so awesome that she even calls her Aniang. Chen Xue, Mengfei never spoke before."
Liu Shishi said with joy on her face. This was the first time she heard Lin Mengfei speak.
"I testify that this is the first time she has spoken."
Liu Sisi raised her hand and said with a smile.
"Little Mengfei, call me daddy."
Lin Xiaofan also stepped forward to tease him.
Lin Mengfei looked at Lin Xiaofan for a long time, just smiling and not speaking again, which made Lin Xiaofan feel a little depressed.
At dinner time, Li Xiaoqian also came back, as did Song Shangtian.
"Come, let's toast to celebrate Brother Lin's return."
Song Shang raised his glass.
As the first batch of people who took refuge in Lin Xiaofan, he and Tian Yu were now in charge of a hundred people's bodyguards and were paid two taels of silver a month. This job was much better than working in the government office.
Moreover, Lin Xiaofan's status is getting higher and higher now, and their status will also rise with the tide.
The meal was almost done. The more he thought about Lin Mengfei, the more he felt something was wrong. He asked:
"Tell me more about Meng Fei's poisoning."
Meng Fei was almost poisoned, and he had to take revenge. No matter who the other party was or how well they hid it, he would find him out.
"Brother Lin, this is what happened. That day, we suddenly learned that Lin Mengfei was in an accident. We rushed over immediately and saw that Lin Mengfei had been poisoned. At that time, we counted the people in the hospital and found that two slaves were missing, and they had gone out early in the morning, so we went all the way I followed it and ended up at a tailor shop.”
"It turned out that the tailor shop had been closed for a day. We went in to search and found only the bodies of the two slaves. We followed the clues and found out through clues that the owner of the tailor shop seemed to be related to the Chen family."
Song Shang said.
"Chen family."
Lin Xiaofan frowned and then asked:
"My guess is good. Meng Fei was poisoned in mid-July, right?"
Because the war only started in August, the messenger did not deliver the letter to the capital, which means that it happened before August.
"Yes, I remember it well, it was August 12th."
Liu Shishi added from the side.
"Then how did you find out about the Chen family?"
Lin Xiaofan asked again.
"At that time, we pursued all the way, and finally found the owner of the tailor shop based on the clues provided by the people. He took all the blame and said he was obsessed with money, so he agreed to do it. He didn't know who specifically instigated it. , but once he accidentally saw the person who ordered him, with a green tiger tattooed on the inside of his arm. "
Liu Shishi said.
She had seen before that Chen Xue's personal maid had the same tattoo on her neck, so she assumed that she was from the Chen family.
"Indeed, some people in our family will have this kind of tattoo on their bodies."
Chen Xue nodded slightly and couldn't help but clenched her fists.
Unexpectedly, the Chen family secretly sent people to Degao Town to poison her daughter.
"Now that the Chen family has almost been wiped out, the revenge has been avenged, and everything is over."
After a long time, Chen Xue sighed.
"wrong."
Lin Xiaofan frowned, it was unreasonable no matter how he thought about it.
"Chen Xue, I have seen the methods of those in your family. They act ruthlessly and treat human life as nothing. The owner of the tailor shop and the two slaves all did this for money. According to the Chen family's methods , I will definitely silence them afterwards.”
"Why did you only kill two slaves but leave the owner of the tailor shop alive? If he had to stay for some reason, he would have hidden it well and would never be traced easily."
"Song, tell me, when you first investigated, didn't you waste too much effort?"
Lin Xiaofan said.
People from the Chen family are not fools. How could such a thing leave a big flaw.
And since he was in the capital, it made sense that they kidnapped Lin Mengfei to blackmail him.
Directly poisoning Lin Mengfei has no meaning except deepening the hatred between the two parties.
Chen Mengnan is a cunning, profit-seeking person, but he is very smart and would never do such a thankless thing.
"That's... indeed. The owner of the tailor shop is in the neighboring county. We found him within a few days of tracing. At that time, he was dressed as a farmer in the village."
Song Shang thought for a while and said.
This hidden method is too clumsy, and it doesn't look like it was done by a family like the Chen family.
After mentioning this, everyone was at a loss.
Lin Xiaofan closed his eyes and meditated. If he wanted to solve this problem, he had to understand who would be most beneficial if something went wrong.
Could it be Zong Wenfu from the Sirius Kingdom?
When it comes to strategies, Zong Wenfu does have this brain. Doing this would also give the Chen family no way out.
But the time doesn't match up. The first is the border between Daqian and Dayu. The border is very strict and it is not easy to get in and out. And it takes nearly a month to get from the easternmost part of Daqian to Qingzhou County.
And since the owner of this tailor shop had made a good confession and was determined to die, he must have been trained in advance and placed there for a long time. After all, the time has to be pushed back to a year ago.
At that time, Lin Xiaofan had just finished the Battle of Qingzhou. Although he had become famous, it was too long ago.
If Zong Wenfu could arrange such a chess piece a year in advance, the opponent would be too scary.
However, there is another force that may do such a thing.
Daliang Kingdom!
In the battle of Fangcheng, Daliang Kingdom and Dashang Kingdom were defeated. At that time, the other side was arranging manpower in Qingzhou County to disrupt public order.
One of the rogue bandits made trouble, and it took Lin Xiaofan some time to deal with it.
Moreover, the four people who organized the rebellion that time were all from Daliang. The Great Shang State also arranged for manpower to be brought in, but it was never dispatched.
And in mid-July, they only knew that they had conflicts with the Chen family and the Zhang family. They didn't know that these two families were planning to rebel, and that Dayu was planning to attack.
If Gong Huo was involved at that time, it would be easy to make the Chen family hostile to him. Infighting among the great cadres is naturally beneficial to the great merchant kingdom.
"According to my guess, it was done by people from the Great Shang Kingdom."
Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth and immediately told everyone his speculation.
"I think your husband is right. The Chen family's secret guards have been trained for decades. It is impossible for them to make such a low-level mistake as revealing their totem and not keeping silent. Moreover, it is easy to find out what the Chen family's totem looks like. , it is very possible that the Great Shang Kingdom did it.”
Chen Xue agreed.
She felt that this matter was strange from the beginning. Although the Chen family was destroyed, the Chen family were not stupid, otherwise they would not have dominated the Daqian Kingdom for so many years.
Such a low-level method, such a low-level method, does not look like it was done by someone from the Chen family.
"This damned Shang Kingdom is really evil!"
Song Shang slapped the table and said angrily.
Da Gan didn't do anything to them, but they kept dancing around, and even dared to cause trouble in the Lin Mansion.
