Chapter 316 Repeating the same trick
Zhong Youzhi was listening, waving his folding fan, and suddenly said, "I know this case. What's more coincidental is that the person who was rumored to have killed Miss Lu was Miss Wen, Wen Xuanning's sister."

He closed his folding fan, tapped his head, and said suddenly, "Yes! This is what Senior Sister Lin said."

Lin Shuying, who was chatting with Qu Chunyan about recent developments, suddenly heard her own name and looked at Zhong Youzhi with a puzzled look.

After Zhong Youzhi repeated it, she nodded and said, "It is true. I heard from my father that it was later discovered that Miss Wen was influenced by a strange creature, so she did such a thing."

"May I know who your father is?" Princess Jiale suddenly asked.

"My father is the Junior Official of the Dali Temple." Lin Shuying answered calmly.

Liu Sheng's eyes lit up and he remembered this.

It seems that I have to ask Senior Sister Lin Shuying to have a private chat later.

"What happened next? Where did Miss Wen go?" Wang Dongdong asked with a frown.

She felt deeply about this, as she had worked as a detective and knew best how much influence strange things had on people, and how it was common for people to lose their true nature.

"I don't know about that. The Wen family no longer recognized her and she disappeared." Lin Shuying shook his head and sighed.

Everyone was sighing.

Zhong Youzhi shook his head and sighed, "I remember that Miss Wen was once a glorious and favored child of heaven, but now this title falls on my younger brother."

"My younger brother is now in great glory, while my older sister has disappeared from the public eye. It's such a reversal, just like something out of a play script." After hearing this, Qu Chunyan also felt a little emotional.

And Liu Sheng couldn't say that he knew about Wen Weilan's situation.

They had discussed that Wen Weilan wanted to hide herself at this stage until she was able to come out.

So they can only maintain this underground relationship.

Princess Jiale said hatefully: "No matter what, she did kill someone."

Liu Sheng noticed that Princess Jiale seemed to be quite concerned about the death of the second Miss Lu.

"Maybe there's some hidden secret."

That was all she could say, remembering the confidentiality letter she had signed.

Princess Jiale seemed to realize something, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Liu Sheng thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other, and some vague thoughts emerged.

Although they didn't say it out loud, they seemed to know what the other wanted to say.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

……

There is always a time for gathering and separation, and after eating and drinking, everyone will return to their own homes.

Liu Sheng specifically asked Wang Dongdong to go back first and told Senior Sister Lin Shuying that he wanted to discuss something in private.

Princess Jiale fell behind last, and from afar she watched Liu Sheng and Lin Shuying whispering seriously in the shadow of Zhegui Tower. She narrowed her eyes slightly, then curled the corners of her mouth slightly, and turned and left.

The reason why Liu Sheng wanted to talk to Lin Shuying was because he wanted to find out something.

"Do you want to find out the whereabouts of those people who were recently detained in the Dali Temple prison and are suspected to be strange creatures?" Lin Shuying asked in surprise.

Liu Sheng nodded: "I heard that your father is the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, but I really have no way to find out, so I came to you for help."

At first, Liu Sheng thought that since Wang Dongdong wanted to ask her uncle, she could just ask him as well.

Who would have thought that there was no follow-up at all? I'm afraid it's because the level is not high enough.

It would be better to just go find the second-in-command of the Dali Temple...the daughter.

"No need to be polite. Since this concerns your friend, I, as your senior sister, must help." Lin Shuying shook her head and said, "But this matter is a bit sensitive. I'm afraid I have to find out in a roundabout way..."

Before Lin Shuying finished speaking, she suddenly saw Liu Sheng's expression change, and he made a solemn gesture to keep quiet.

Although Lin Shuying didn't understand and didn't sense anything unusual, he didn't say anything.

She knew Liu Sheng's sensitivity.

He just watched Liu Sheng looking around, but it seemed like he found nothing.

Liu Sheng shook his head, it seemed inconvenient to talk about this matter now.

So he said to Lin Shuying, "Let's talk about the details later. Contact me through spiritual communication."

Lin Shuying nodded and looked at Liu Sheng worriedly, but when she saw Liu Sheng signaling her to go first with his eyes, she knew that Liu Sheng had made up his mind, so she left quickly.

When Lin Shuying's figure completely disappeared around the corner, Liu Sheng responded to the omnipresent and all-pervasive gaze that appeared again, and said calmly: "Come out, I know where you are."

No one answered, but the sight remained. The surrounding space began to distort and converged into a small strange cave with colorful lines.

Just like when we were on the top floor of Taibai Tower.

Liu Sheng's expression remained unchanged as he stared in one direction.

"You should know when to use the same trick again. It won't work if you use it a second time!"

As soon as the words fell, the space there began to fluctuate. The colorful lines trembled, and a crack was formed by bending to the left and right. A thin figure walked out slowly from the crack, holding a little bear in his hand that was exactly the same as the one she had taken away.

It was just in an activated state, and the bear's eyes made of black buttons reflected a cold and evil light.

The hand holding the little bear was white and slender, with distinct joints and countless calluses. The position of the calluses was similar to Liu Sheng's, and it was obviously the hand of someone who often refined weapons.

Looking up again, I could see the man's face. Many things that I had never understood finally revealed the tip of the iceberg, and those tangled threads finally made sense.

"Minister Ling."

Liu Sheng accurately called out the man's secular name.

"You recognize me?" Ling Fu was a little surprised, but he didn't show it and just said in a deep voice.

"Isn't it possible? You can't be the only one staring at me all the time, right?" Liu Sheng said calmly, leaving room for imagination.

Ling Fu fell into deep thought, wondering if he would be tricked as well.

Liu Sheng was secretly happy in her heart. She would definitely not tell him that she had met him during the imperial examination.

Ling Fu thought about it for just a moment and then let it go.

Unexpected, but it doesn't matter at this moment.

What’s more important is how Liu Sheng addressed him.

Ling Fu frowned and said, "You should call me uncle. Has your mother ever told you about me?"

Liu Sheng nodded: "I did, but I don't want to."

Ling Fu showed a bitter smile on his already pale and tired face, but did not ask why.

Because the answer is obvious.

I just said, "I've been waiting for you to find me, but you didn't, so I came anyway."

"Why should I look for you?" Liu Sheng said in a cold tone.

"Why?" Ling Fu analyzed the situation one by one with a straight face. "I am a third-rank minister, highly regarded by the emperor. I control the Ministry of Works and Hongfu Hall, which are related to your major. If you had come to my house and revealed that you are my niece, you would have a smooth life and would not have to work so hard to take the imperial examination, let alone end up like this today."

The situation today?
In Ling Fu's opinion, is she living a hard life?

"I can live a good life on my own." Liu Sheng said coldly, unconvinced.

"You don't know anything." Ling Fu just shook his head and said, "Do you think it's easy for you to become the champion?"

Liu Sheng's heart trembled, he knew that he almost failed the exam!
"So, how did I get the title of Huiyuan?" Liu Sheng asked in a deep voice.

However, as she expected, Ling Fu would not tell it.

"You don't need to know. Knowing too much will only hurt you."

Liu Sheng was finally irritated by the way he treated him as an ignorant junior, and he said without thinking:
"Yeah, I don't know anything. I didn't know that you abandoned your lonely sister and became the eldest son of the Ling family in Beijing for the sake of fame and wealth. You ignored my mother for so many years, and only my mother still remembered the old friendship and told me that she wanted to be closer to you."

Liu Sheng became furious when he talked about this, and his words became more and more sharp.

Ling Fu shook his head with a pale face, but didn't know where to start, so he could only sigh.

"Besides, I don't know. It was you," Liu Sheng said, his eyes became sharp like a knife and shot towards Ling Fu, "you blocked my going to the capital in every possible way."

"I didn't expect you to know something." Ling Fu raised a pale smile, "Yes, it's me."

"Don't you think it's ridiculous? On the one hand, you said you could help me get by, but on the other hand, you suppressed me and even..." Liu Sheng approached step by step, unable to suppress the resentment in his heart any longer, "You even planned to frame me and make me a murderer?"

Ling Fu looked at Liu Sheng's clear and bright eyes filled with grievance, disappointment and resentment - these were emotions that should not belong to her, and his heart couldn't help but clench into a ball.

"It wasn't me. Someone just used our old friendship to ask me for help, and I provided help." Ling Fu sighed.

"Who?" Liu Sheng always wanted to know the answer.

But Ling Fu shook his head and refused to say.

"But you know how that man planned to deal with me in the end. Is this how you act as an uncle?" Liu Sheng sneered.

I remembered Taotao said that there were signs of modification inside the little bear, and someone was also using this to monitor her.

She had guessed that the person was Ling Fu.

So from beginning to end, Ling Fu was watching her step by step into the trap.

"Yes, I know you will find out about this if you take the strange object away, but it is precisely because I am your uncle that I have to keep an eye on you!"

As Ling Fu spoke, his calm voice now held a hint of urgency. He didn't want Liu Sheng to misunderstand.

"I will protect you. I also rushed to Taibai Tower early that night, intending to do something for you and prevent you from going to jail. At most, you will be exiled to your hometown."

"I didn't expect you to solve it on your own... What a pity."

Ling Fu said it as if it was a matter of course, and he really felt sorry that Liu Sheng escaped the disaster.

Liu Sheng listened and gradually became more angry.

"In short, you just want me to leave." Liu Sheng said angrily.

However, Ling Fu just looked at Liu Sheng silently, with a complicated expression and an obvious sadness underneath.

It took a long time before he spoke.

"of course."

"You shouldn't have come to Beijing."

"I tried so hard to stop you, why didn't you obey and still came?"

"And you're trying to pry into things you shouldn't be prying into."
