Lin Guangcheng stood outside the county yamen and hesitated for a long time.

Fang calmly waited on the side.

"Fang Ping, do you say I'm doing this right?" Lin Guangcheng, who has always been decisive, was entangled in his heart at the moment, and even asked Fang Ping.

Although Fang Ping was young, he was also calm and capable, and replied without thinking, "Master, it depends on whether you think it's worth it." ”

Lin Guangcheng's heart was shocked.

yes, is it worth it?

He is tired of running around for the business of the house every day, for what? For the parents, for the wife and daughter.

He is not in poor health like his eldest brother Lin Guangfu, so he has no children under his knees, he has always felt ashamed of his parents, he has been trying to do a good job of the old lady's explanation, but his parents are not his alone, and Lin Mansion is not his, these should have been worked together by the three of them, why is he always the only one to bear in the end?

What's more, why did he hurt him, his wife went, his daughter almost died, he hid and avoided it for the reputation of the Lin Mansion, is it worth it?

"Report to the police." Lin Guangcheng muttered tiredly, but there was an indescribable ease in his tone.

Gao Jun, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, Yingtianfu, Jinling, looked at Lin Guangcheng helplessly, and after the other party sat down, he only occasionally chatted a few words or drank a few sips of tea, and never explained his intentions.

Gao Jun was a little restless, if he said that with the status of the Lin Mansion and the wealthy Cheng Dù, if Lin Guangcheng had something to do, he could go directly to Ying Tianfu to find his top boss, the prefect, instead of sitting in front of him as if he didn't know how to speak.

When there was still the last bite of the tea bowl in front of Lin Guangcheng, Gao Jun finally couldn't help but ask, "Second Master Lin, look, if you have anything, just tell me directly." "It's no wonder that he is so humble, it's really that he, the county official, can't control so many imperial nobles in Shangyuan County.

Lin Guangcheng clenched his fist in front of his mouth and coughed to hide his embarrassment, "There is a death in my house, and I am here to report to the official." ”

Gao Jun's face suddenly changed greatly.

“…… It's two subordinates. ”

Gao Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but his face turned ugly again. Could it be that there is something else hidden in this?

Lin Guangcheng opened his mouth and slipped up, "Actually, I wanted to ask a servant to go to the autopsy, and one of the dead was the maid next to the girl, and the girl didn't believe that the maid would kill herself." ”

An autopsy for two subordinates?

Gao Jun was surprised, his mouth wide open enough to swallow an egg.

Lin Guangcheng got up and bowed his hand, "Please." ”

Gao Jun stabilized his mind, and hurriedly got up and replied, "Don't worry, I'll send someone over, and I will be quiet so that no one will find out." ”

Lin Guangcheng smiled and stuffed a silver ticket into Gao Jun's hand and said, "Then there is Lao Kochi County." ”

Lin Guangcheng sat in the carriage back home and kept sighing, Gao Jun is indeed a talent, if he hadn't been placed in Shangyuan County by the top, he would definitely be able to rise in the future, just look at this work, Gao Jun was stunned and asked people to dress up as a scholar.

"This little brother, I'm afraid it's been a night since this person died, can you find out the cause of death?" Lin Guangcheng looked at the young man who didn't laugh and asked. In fact, he was afraid that this little trick would not be able to detect anything at all.

"The little peace, this year is thirteen, back to the master, the little one has been picked up by Uncle Li since he was a child, Uncle Li's craftsmanship, the little ones have learned the hand, you can rest assured." The little servant replied that he was not humble or arrogant, and as he spoke, his black and white eyes revealed a sense of cleverness.

Lin Guangcheng knew that Ping An had guessed his concerns, so he also said directly, "The daughter of the family attaches great importance to the dead maid, if you can't find out the cause of death, remember not to talk nonsense, and I will find an opportunity to secretly take Li Yanzuo into the house when I go back." ”

Ping An nodded seriously, "Little nature will not be disrespectful to the dead." ”

Lin Guangcheng and his entourage returned to Tianjiao Courtyard unimpeded, although Ping An was a man, but he was dressed as a scholar, and he followed Lin Guangcheng, which did not arouse anyone's suspicion at all.

Lin Guangcheng went for about an hour, thinking that Lin Yuan had already settled Mrs. Wang and Xiangyue, but who knew that Lin Yuan would personally guard the door and not allow others to enter the house.

"Father, are you back?" Lin Yuan stepped forward eagerly, looked left and right, and only saw a handsome little scholar.

Lin Guangcheng was afraid that Lin Yuan would be annoyed again, so he hurriedly pushed Ping'an, "This is the peace of the county government." After a pause, his face turned a little red, "In the end, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized...... which can be regarded as an explanation for Ping'an's dress

Lin Yuan nodded, but did not speak, but hugged Lin Guangcheng gratefully. She knew that it was rare for her father to make such a step.

Lin Guangcheng suddenly felt that what he did was worth it! It is worth it for a manly man to do anything for his wife and children!

There were even faint tears in his eyes, and he looked at Lin Yuan lovingly.

Lin Yuan cared about Xiangyue, and after hugging Lin Guangcheng as a gratitude, he hurriedly greeted him into the house safely. She didn't underestimate the young peace, the ancients were always precocious, didn't they?

"Here, please come in." Lin Yuan leaned sideways and stepped forward to open the door, and said quickly, "Except that someone entered the house at the beginning and has been locked off since then, the things and corpses in the house have not been touched, and the scene should be fairly intact." ”

Hearing this, Ping'an looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, "Miss still understands this?" "It has always been difficult for them to investigate the cause of the deceased's death more deeply, because the family destroyed the scene of the deceased's death and did not allow the autopsy afterwards.

Lin Yuan was slightly uncomfortable, these should not be understood by a young lady in the house, she diverted the topic and said, "I don't believe that Xiangyue will commit suicide, let alone that she will kill Mrs. Wang, and please give her a clean slate." ”

It was rare to see such a well-preserved scene, and Ping'an's mind was suddenly led over, and he didn't ask why Lin Yuan knew this, he said solemnly, "Miss, please rest assured, I will check it carefully." ”

"Then I'll leave it to you, and if you need anything, just tell them." Lin Yuan pointed at Xianghe and them.

After Ping An entered the house, Lin Yuan still let Qiao Yihuan guard the door, and walked to Lin Guangcheng's side.

"Father, Mama Li, who was next to the old lady, came here before, and I sent her away." Lin Yuan explained softly, and as she spoke, she raised her face and said solemnly, "Also, father, please call the maid Xiu'er beside Aunt Rong, I have something to ask her." The reason why she didn't call someone before Lin Guangcheng came back was because she knew that she probably wouldn't be able to call someone, and she would startle the snake. The matter of Mrs. Wang was still in front of her, and she didn't dare to act rashly.

Lin Guangcheng frowned, paused and said, "What's wrong with Xiu'er?" I know that the maid is straightforward and fast-talking, but she serves Aunt Rong very thoughtfully. ”

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and replied, "I think Xiu'er pays too much attention to my small courtyard, especially the few times Xiangyue has been ordered by me to do something, Xiu'er knows it." ”

Lin Guangcheng became more and more puzzled, "How did you find out?" ”

Lin Yuan was embarrassed, and hesitated for a moment whether to tell the speculation and the suspicion of Aunt Rong together.

But at this time, Lin Yuan saw Aunt Rong stumbling over.

"Master, Xiu'er, she committed suicide...... Aunt Rong said to Lin Guangcheng with tears in her eyes, and sat on the ground as if she had been hit by a huge blow.
