Chapter 466 How to explain?
"So it was Qiu Shuang. What a coincidence."
Zhang Lin pretended to see Qiu Shuang just now, greeted him with a smile, showing a look of surprise.
Although Zhang Lin tried his best to hide it, Qiu Shuang still captured some unnaturalness from his expression. However, this unnaturalness is not the same as the abnormality just now, and of course she would not mind this.
"As soon as Gangliegong came out, he defeated the rebels and made great achievements! Please accept my congratulations and respect!" Qiu Shuang bowed to Zhang Lin and said with a blessing with a smile.
"Where is it, it's all thanks to your strong recommendation in front of the emperor, so I have the chance to step out of the cold palace." Zhang Lin said gratefully, half of his words were polite and half out of sincerity.
Although he was very angry after knowing that Qiu Shuang had framed Shangguan Wan'er; although he was very shocked after knowing that Qiu Shuang was a Persian princess with ulterior motives, he himself had no disgust for Qiu Shuang. During the process of dealing with Qiu Shuang, he really got a lot of useful help from her.
Especially after knowing Qiu Shuang's noble and mysterious life experience, his thoughts changed. He believed that everything Qiu Shuang did was understandable. What he had to do in the future was to guide and correct Qiu Shuang's behavior as much as possible so that it could reach an acceptable range.
After hearing Zhang Lin's words, Qiu Shuang's mouth curled a gratifying smile. It seemed that he could still remember her goodness. It was very rare to have this. She smiled sweetly and said, "It should be."
At this time, a cool breeze blew, lifting up Zhang Lin's trouser outside, and the cover of the warehouse file inserted in the inner pocket of the trouser was exposed. The words "Yeting Bureau" trouser on the top were extremely conspicuous, which attracted Qiu Shuang's surprise and thrilling gaze.
Aware of Qiu Shuang's unusual gaze, Zhang Lin followed her gaze and realized that the library was not hidden well, and was exposed to Qiu Shuang's gaze by a gust of wind.
If the ones stacked on the top are the provincial database files of the eunuchs or the Ministry of Revenue, it would be easy to say. As the leader of the Dongchang Factory, Zhang Lin had to investigate how many people they had to check and how many database files they had to check all day long. However, it was very exposed, but what was exposed was the database files of the Yeting Bureau.
Although there are many people from the Yeting Bureau in the palace, Zhang Lin only knows Shangguan Wan'er and Qiu Shuang, and they have not learned about others in advance.
Now Qiu Shuang discovered that he was carrying the warehouse archives of the Yeting Bureau, how can she explain it to her?
As a person with ill-hearted intentions, he was "depressed" and now, facing the Yeting Bureau's escort that could only be related to her, even if Zhang Lin was so smart, he could not hide it in front of Qiu Shuang, except to tell the truth.
However, if you tell the truth, then your relationship with Qiu Shuang will immediately change from a friend to a hostile relationship. To be honest, Zhang Lin was not prepared yet. It was not that he particularly cherished the friendship with Qiu Shuang, but that he felt that if he immediately broke up with Qiu Shuang, he would not be able to grasp and control her next move. What if Qiu Shuang killed Shangguan Wan'er because of her identity being exposed? Or, if she was anxious and took advantage of the great opportunity to assassinate the emperor, then the world would be in chaos immediately.
None of these are what Zhang Lin wants.
As his thoughts turned, Zhang Lin thought a lot, and felt that before he could break up with Qiu Shuang, he tried his best to hide it.
Although Zhang Lin was extremely panicked, he pulled the balloon on the surface as if nothing had happened, covering the exposed cover of the warehouse file again, and said calmly: "Qiu Shuang, you are right, I believe Shangguan Wan'er is really a snake spirit spy."
Alas, there is no way, so I can only talk about Shangguan Wan'er. Of course, Zhang Lin is a mistake, or it is just a point of criticizing the slaughter. There is no need to be sorry to Shangguan Wan'er.
Qiu Shuang didn't believe Zhang Lin's words.
If Zhang Lin had never been to the underground palace and had never met Shangguan Wan'er, then this would naturally be credible. However, now, after blatantly visiting Shangguan Wan'er, especially with a depositary file from the Yeting Bureau in his pocket, he also said such hypocritical lies, and wanted Qiu Shuang to believe that he didn't treat her as a fool?
Qiu Shuang did not expose his lies, but asked according to his words: "What point did you believe?"
"You know, I went to the underground palace to interrogate Shangguan Wan'er." A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Lin's mouth, and he said seriously.
You obviously went to visit her, so why did you become interrogative now? Qiu Shuang frowned slightly, but she was not confused about the difference in terms of words, pretending to be curious, and asked anxiously: "So, what did you interrogate?"
Zhang Lin made an exaggerated expression on his face, pointed his fingers in the air with one hand, and said vividly:
"I arrived at the underground palace and scolded her the first thing I said:
‘I treat you as a friend, but you collude with the snake spirit and plot to frame me! I am so blind!’
Shangguan Wan'er pretended to be very innocent: "What snake spirit? I didn't frame you, I'm also a victim."
Do you know what Shangguan Wan'er said? She said you were framed her! How could I believe it? Because it was her who was hanging out with me in front of the emperor, I would never admit my mistake in this.
I said, 'You said Qiushuang framed you, what evidence do you have?'
She falsely claimed that this was what you admitted in person.
I don't believe her statement. Even if you really frame her, how could you tell her yourself unless you are a fool? I don't think this is true. What do you think?"
Zhang Linbian's story is first-class, and he tells false things vividly, as if it is true.
While Zhang Lin was speaking, Qiu Shuang stared into his eyes and examined. She found that Zhang Lin was full of emotion, generous and indignant, and was very serious, and also mocked her. As for whether it was true or not, Qiu Shuang could not judge now.
Although everyone in the harem knew about Zhang Lin's visit to Shangguan Wan'er in the underground palace, no one knew what he said to Shangguan Wan'er. No one had a thousand miles of ears.
When he could not judge the truth and falsehood, Qiu Shuang could only believe and half doubt, and believe only accounted for three points, while doubt accounted for seven points.
Qiu Shuang accepted Zhang Lin's mockery in her heart. She often blamed herself in this way. She shouldn't have spoken in front of Shangguan Wan'er so unscrupulously. Even so, her face still turned slightly red.
And even if the questioning of her was a pretended question, she would certainly never admit it. She curled a contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth: "Shangguan Wan'er is really crazy and says nothing."
"Don't worry, this is just one-sided statement of her, I won't believe it easily." Zhang Lin's face turned solemn and said with a righteousness: "After leaving the underground palace, I ordered the East Factory to investigate Shangguan Wan'er's background. Then I discovered the clue. After she was the sinner Shangguan Yi, her whole family was executed. She had a deep blood hatred between her and the emperor, and she had the same origin as the bandits of Snake Spirit. It was a smooth matter for her to become a Snake Spirit spy."
Zhang Lin's current rhetoric successfully explained the origin of the Yeting Bureau in his arms, which gave Qiu Shuang a little bit of confidence. Even if he knew her identity secret, he would not say it out. Isn't this a kind of consideration for her, or even love?
Thinking of this, she felt much better. She smiled and asked in a disbelief:
