Chapter 247 Draw the snake out of the hole

Three days later, a garment shop named Lin Fengxuan opened in Xiangyunfang for the auspicious day of the God of Wealth.

Lin Huazhi did not make a big fanfare. That day, after hearing that Her Majesty was going to be passed on to the prince, she also knew how much she had to think about Lin Yuyang and the Zhang family at this jux, so her name was not posted, and the dignitaries were not invited. She opened the shop calmly and quietly.

However, her unwillingness does not mean that others don't want to join in this excitement. Anyway, she is unintentional. Whether it is for Lin Yuyang or the face of the Zhang family, many officials in Beijing have asked their women or other reasons to send congratulatory gifts.

And when Lin Huazhi saw Cui Yuan's carriage parked outside the shop, there was an unknown smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Miss Lin, congratulations on your opening."

"Your excellency is so polite." After receiving the congratulatory gift from the Cui family, Lin Huazhi turned his eyes and looked at Cui Yuan's carriage.

Cui Yuan seemed to know what she was thinking. He approached her and whispered, "Yan Shaobai will come in a moment."

Looking up at him, Lin Huazhi said slightly indifferently, "Don't he have to accompany Cui Ting?"

"With Yan Shaobai's nature, no matter what entanglement he had with you before, today he always wants to show his face. Besides, don't you mean to let him come?" Cui Yuan knew Yan Shaobai, but this last sentence sounded a little unhappy.

Lin Huazhi didn't care why Cui Yuan was unhappy. He glanced at him and said coldly, "It's not well received. Your excellency is casual." After saying that, he was ready to leave Cui Yuan to do other things.

But Cui Yuan said at the moment she turned around, "Do you hear some good news?"

This sentence successfully left Lin Huazhi behind and turned around to look at Cui Yuan. Lin Huazhi frowned gently: "Good news? I don't know what adults mean?"

But Cui Yuan smiled and said, "Lin Huazhi, since I came all the way, don't you invite me in for a cup of hot tea?"

Is this Cui Yuan selling to her to be cheap? Lin Huazhi always felt that since the two had a deep conversation that day, Cui Yuan would always do something abnormal. Of course, Lin Huazhi also knew in his heart that Cui Yuan showed his goodwill to her just to protect himself. Cui Yuan has always been at peace with the prince. Although Cui Guifei secretly supports him, once the prince ascends the throne next spring, I'm afraid Cui Yuan's life will not be as comfortable as now. As the so-called emperor and a courtier, Cui Yuan put down his body and made friends with Lin Huazhi, which was also a kind of attitude to Lin Yuyang and the prince.

Thinking of this, Lin Huazhi laughed. The relationship between her and Cui Yuan had been positioned from the beginning, but they just took advantage of each other. Now that Cui Yuan is weak, there is no reason for Lin Huazhi not to enjoy this feeling of superiority.

"Lord Meng will not give up, please take a seat in the room." Lin Huazhi politely invited Cui Yuan into Lin Fengxuan, and the two went directly into the back hall.

After a cup of tea, Cui Yuan said, "I should have come to talk to you yesterday, but Your Majesty temporarily invited me to the palace to talk about some chores, so I had to drag it off until today. I hope you don't blame the girl."

, Cui Yuan is really getting more and more polite. Lin Huazhi squeezed her lips and smiled: "Adults are busy with affairs, and national affairs should be the most important. There is nothing to worry about such trivial matters." In fact, Cui Yuan is not the only one who can talk about the official talk. The face that should be given on the table is not ambiguous at all. She just wants to see what Cui Yuan is thinking.

Cui Yuan looked at her with bright eyes. After a while, he continued to say, "I'm still used to the way you are fierce to me. If you are so polite to me, I think we are born."

Lin Huazhi couldn't help taking a bite of him secretly. He really opened the dyeing workshop with some color. It's not good to say, but it's too shameless. With the impulse to curse, Lin Huazhi didn't say anything, but picked up the teacup in front of him.

"Does the girl remember anything these three days?"

"Does the adult refer to the name mentioned that day?" Lin Huazhi shook her head, "It's a little familiar, but I haven't remembered where I've seen that person for a long time." Lin Huazhi has been very busy these days. Even if she wants to think about when and where she has met a person named Peng Fugui, she is really powerless and can't remember it.

Hearing this, Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Huazhi with a strange look: "I thought, you can always think of something."

Lin Huazhi was puzzled: "Your excellency, what do you mean by this?"

Cui Yuan was silent, looked at Lin Huazhi, and then said, "Peng Fugui is from Zhongzhou. He lives near Pancheng. His parents died at the age of 16. There was only one young sister, but he was born before he was one year old and gave it to relatives. Peng Fugui's family life is relatively difficult. He went to Jiangdong City a few years ago. Cui Yuan stopped talking and looked at Lin Huazhi, as if to remind her of something.

Lin Huazhi repeatedly thought about Cui Yuan's last sentence in his mind, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, with a trace of uneasiness and fear. But why did he have such a mood?

At this time, Chunbai came in, tapped his head at Cui Yuan, and then approached Lin Huazhi and whispered, "Yan Shaobai is here to drink tea in front. Do you want to meet him?"

I didn't expect Yan Shaobai to come so early. Lin Huazhi was stunned and whispered, "I'll go out in a while. You can greet the guests for me first."

Chunbai nodded, looked at her with a little worry, and retreated.

Cui Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Is Yan Shaobai here?"

Lin Huazhi hummed and thought about her standing up: "It's really glorious to take time to come to my small store in your busy schedule. I hope you will forgive me for the unhospitality.

"Wait a minute." Cui Yuan stopped her.

Lin Huazhi thought that the meaning of what she had just said had been very clear. If she understood it, it was a eviction order. If she didn't understand, please do it. She didn't have time to accompany Cui Yuan.

"You are so familiar with everything about Chen Suyue. Has Chen Suyue told you before that she met Yan Shaobai for the first time?"

Lin Huazhi frowned. For Chen Suyue, it was definitely not a good memory to meet Yan Shaobai for the first time. Lin Huazhi didn't understand how Cui Yuan wanted to mention this. Chen Suyue met Yan Shaobai at the age of 14. The process was not only full of threats. If Yan Shaobai hadn't helped on that day, maybe Chen Suyue would have handed over her life to the two kidnappers.

Wait, Lin Huazhi suddenly remembered something. She thought she had forgotten it, but after Cui Yuan's reminder, she remembered who Peng Fugui was.

Lin Huazhi's face suddenly became pale and bloodless. Although she remembered it, she didn't seem to dare to confirm it. Looking up at Cui Yuan, Lin Huazhi couldn't help asking, "In those years... was it really Peng Fugui?"

Cui Yuan nodded: "Yes, this is true. Not to mention you, I'm afraid even Chen Suyue himself doesn't remember that. Chen Suyue was just a 14-year-old child, and I'm afraid you are only six or seven years old. I can't remember that Peng Fugui is also common sense. In addition, the Chen family has had such an ugly thing, and I don't want people to mention it from time to time, so I'm afraid that few people in Jiangdong City know what happened in those years except for the older generation. However, if you want to know what Chen Suyue experienced in those years, you can ask Yan Shaobai. He can also be regarded as one of the parties.

Lin Huazhi's face is gray. Why does Cui Yuan need to say more? If there is anything about what happened in those years, who can know better than her? Lin Huazhi only felt that her heart was so cold that she didn't feel anything in an instant. It was dull and painful, and it was bloody with a gentle touch.

Barely squeezed out a smile on her face, and Lin Huazhi slowly said, "Yes, Chen Suyue was too young at that time. Suddenly, she didn't want to recall what the two kidnappers looked like, let alone Chen Suyue's mention of what happened to others. If it weren't for the adults beside me today, I'm afraid I really can't remember that Peng Fugui was one of the kidnappers who kidnapped and tried to kill Chen Suyue.

Those memories that had always wanted to be forgotten suddenly came to her like a tide. After Chen Suyue was rescued that year, because she was ugly, the Chen clan asked the magistrate to quickly kill the two kidnappers. In less than half a year, the two kidnappers were sentenced to death. If Cui Yuan hadn't found out those old things today, I'm afraid Lin Huazhi would never have found the root cause.

However, there are still some things she doesn't understand. She always feels that Cui Yuan hasn't said everything yet.

Turning around and sitting down again, Lin Huazhi asked, "That is to say, is Chen Suyue's death because of Peng Fugui?" Cui Yuan specially mentioned this person, and it is impossible without the following.

Cui Yuan nodded: "Yes, it can be said that the reason why Chen Suyue was poisoned is Peng Fugui."

"So... That is to say, on the night of Mingyue's accident, she went to me to tell me about Peng Fugui?" Lin Huazhi estimated that nine out of ten Mingyue wanted to tell her about this.

"I can only say that it is possible. No matter how well you cover up, people with bright eyes can still see that you have an unusual relationship with Chen Suyue, because you know too much about Chen Suyue, and that's why Mingyue wants to find you. But I have another idea. Mingyue may not go to you for Peng Fugui. I'm afraid she wants to prove something from you.

Lin Huazhi was stunned, and Cui Yuan's inference was also reasonable. As she said before, even didn't remember who Peng Fugui was for a moment. I'm afraid Mingyue may not know Peng Fugui's person, let alone explain that Yue knew that Chen Suyue was poisoned and died. So what does Mingyue want to prove from her?

Lin Huazhi thought carefully. Before Mingyue's accident, she was almost killed in Chenfu. Although Mingyue never admitted it after the incident, many evidence showed that Mingyue was the murderer, and Lin Huazhi insisted that Mingyue was the murderer from beginning to end. She still remembers that Mingyue not only did not admit it that day, but also vaguely revealed that she knew something. According to Cui Yuan, what Mingyue wanted to prove to her probably meant what happened in Chen's mansion.

Thinking of this, Lin Huazhi really understood. No wonder Cui Yuan must push her first, not because of the prince's accession to the throne, but because there are too many people involved, not only Mingyue, but also Cui Ting and Yan Shaobai. And it was the dead Chen Suyue who put all this together.

No one in the world knows Chen Suyue better than her, and only she can unlock the secret group step by step.

Lin Huazhi is worried. By this time, things have completely exceeded her imagination. It can be said that this is a big but detailed conspiracy. It is so worried and frightened everywhere. Lin Huazhi really can't imagine what kind of hatred can dig such a deep and insidious trap.

Cui Yuan was quite uneasy and sad when he saw Lin Huazhi's face. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. What he saw was just the tip of the iceberg. Cui Yuan couldn't guess or infer the truth behind what happened and what was deliberately wanted to cover up.

I don't know how long it took, Cui Yuan asked, "What do you want to do next?"

What should I do? Lin Huazhi couldn't help sneering. She has always been a person who has to repay her teeth. No one can take advantage of her for nothing, let alone owe her a life.

After a long time, Lin Huazhi spit out four words softly: "Drink the snake out of the hole."

You owe me a debt for my life and pay it back with my life.
