Chapter Forty-Three: The Mountain Sawtooth

I saw a small courtyard house with exquisite and gorgeous luxury, the house is delicate and elegant, exquisitely chic, the courtyard is connected with each other, a few begonias are tall and lush, the trees are full of purple-red fruits, a small wooden pavilion in the center, a table in the pavilion is a table of two, the table is preserved with tea soup and fruit, a woman in red sits facing south, holding a book in her hand and reading seriously.

Liu Fan suddenly had a whimsical idea in his mind, if he had a wide-angle SLR camera in his hand now to take pictures of the scenery in the courtyard, it would definitely be a beautiful picture of autumn ladies.

Seeing Liu Fan and Ru'er walking in, Ling Han put down the scroll in his hand and immediately walked over quickly and saluted: "Brother Liu, I'm sorry, I have been bothering you again and again, I wanted to go to the door to invite you myself, but there were many people, so I had to let Ru'er wait in the corridor." ”

Liu Fan replied: "A banquet of such a scale is held in the mansion, but Miss Ling Han is so leisurely and leisurely, enjoying the autumn leisure here. ”

"Brother Liu, I don't usually participate in this kind of party, and I don't know how to entertain at all, so it's good to hide for a while."

"Miss Ling Han is in the middle of the city and can be distracted, this kind of heart is difficult for ordinary people to achieve."

"Brother Liu, don't say that, you say it so well, it's not every time I ask you questions."

The two walked to the wooden table in the pavilion and sat down, after Ru'er offered the tea soup, Ling Han kept his head down, and kept twisting the belt of the red Luo skirt around his waist with one hand, feeling that he had something to say to him, but he couldn't say it.

Liu Fan had vaguely guessed what Ling Han was thinking, and he didn't say anything at this time, picked up the book on the table, and saw that the book was old, it should be some old antiquities, and he flipped through it casually, but it was a book of poems, thinking of Li Min's comments on Ling Han, he said: "Listen to Li Min's brigade marshal said, Ling Han's girl knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is estimated that this poetry and song is difficult to meet in Liangzhou." ”

"How can there be, Brother Liu, you also know that my father is a scholar, and he has been obsessed with failing to get fame all his life, when my brother was born, although my father had served in the army, he still pinned his unfulfilled long-cherished wish on his brother, and he was strict with his brother since he was a child, but fortunately, his brother did not live up to his father's hopes, and he entered the Shi and the first at the age of seventeen.

After I was born, although my father took good care of me since I was a child, he did not give in to his studies at all, and added the same method of teaching my brother to me, so that I am still a nerd, and I know nothing but reading. ”

Liu Fan looked at the majestic and reckless Qilian Mountain in the distance to the south, and hesitated for a moment before saying: "This is the deepest love of a father, you must know that there are less than ten people in this society who have the ability to let their children study and study, how many people can be taught by such a father, and how many people yearn to be taught by such a father, so as to become a nerd who is rich in learning and talented, so as to make himself famous in the world and realize the ambition in his heart." ”

As soon as Ling Han heard this, he was a little surprised, and after a long time, he pursed his lips and shook his head and smiled: "Taught, Brother Liu, no one has ever analyzed this matter so thought-provokingly, how many years older is Brother Liu than me?" There are so many profound insights that I can't do as well as Han'er, and I hope that Brother Liu will always remind me in the future. ”

Liu Fan patted his chest and laughed loudly: "What's so difficult about this, if you have a problem, you can find me, I will definitely not hide it." ”

Ling Han had a smile in his eyes and said softly: "That Han'er has a request now, Brother Liu can make "Breaking the Array" in an instant. Give strong words to motivate it", can I also ask Brother Liu to give Han'er a poem in court now? ”

This time it was Liu Fan's turn to be surprised, his mouth was bigger than Wang Kai's mouth that day, but it only took a moment to react, Xu Pan was Ling Han's cousin, and Xu Pan's big mouth must have told Ling Han what happened that night afterwards.

Ling Han smiled again: "Now not only my father and I know this poem, maybe most of the literati in Liangzhou City also know that this poem is from Brother Liu, and Brother Liu is now well-known in Liangzhou City." ”

After listening to Ling Han's words, Liu Fan involuntarily beat his head with his hand and screamed, muttering in his mouth: "What can I do now!" ”

Ling Han ignored Liu Fan's dejected appearance and continued, "Brother Liu, you haven't answered my question yet!" ”

Liu Fan glared at Ling Han angrily, and thought to himself: "Alas, I have always regarded this girl as a sincere person, no wonder, no matter how gentle a person is, he will occasionally show his naughty side." ”

At this time, not only Ling Han laughed, but even the little girl Ru'er next to her couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"Okay, I'll take this Qilian Mountain as the title and write a poem for Miss Ling Han!"

"Huh, really write?" Ling Han and Ru'er stopped laughing all of a sudden, and the little girl Ru'er asked in disbelief.

"Oh, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, and the promised thing must not be broken by others, of course, writing poetry is naturally easy for the general......"

"......" The two girls waited intently.

Liu Fan looked deeply at the towering Qilian Mountains in the distance.

"The mountains are jagged from afar......"

"A closer look at the mountains ...... jagged"

"The more you look at it, the more it looks like a ...... of jagged teeth"

"It turned out to be a sawtooth ......"

The two girls were still serious at first, and their bodies began to convulse when they heard it, and when Liu Fan finished speaking, the two of them hugged each other with a smile and fell softly on each other, and the little girl laughed and hit her own young lady's body with her little head.

When the two of them were almost laughing, Liu Fan said: "Okay, okay, now that the poem has been written, and the laughter is also laughing, Miss Han'er should also tell me the reason why I am here!" ”

Ling Han tidied up his dress a little, and thought to himself, "Alas, when I am with Brother Liu, I accidentally make him laugh, and my ladylike image in Brother Liu's eyes is completely gone." ”

When the two of them sat down again, Ru'er added tea and soup, Ling Han finally suppressed the funny atmosphere just now, and then spoke: "Brother Liu, that's the case, I've been thinking about the burning of the account books for the past two days, and I feel that the person who committed the crime is not only suspicious of the bookstore, but also Uncle Song, Uncle Song, and Wu Senjun are all suspected, and it is most likely that more than two people colluded to commit the crime, do you think this analysis is correct?" ”

"Yes, no matter how many people colluded to commit the crime, whether Song Changshi, your uncle, Wu Senjun and a group of people outside the secretary office participated in the crime, but the mastermind must be among these people."

"And who do you think is the most likely mastermind among them?"

"It's very simple, the mastermind is probably not in Wu Senjun and the other secretaries, because if the mastermind is Wu Senjun or one of the secretaries, his plan is unlikely to lock himself in the house and be burned to death."

"yes, I didn't think of such a simple question."

"In fact, burning everyone in the house is just a last resort choice for the criminals, because once there is no link of locking the door, more than 50 people may rescue most of the account books, so the purpose of arson cannot be achieved, so locking the door is no choice, and it is also the biggest loophole."

Speaking of this, both of them involuntarily fell silent, the situation is very clear, the mastermind is definitely between Song Changshi and Xu Li.

After a while, Liu Fan said faintly: "And the final answer is in the book office that we have determined through the method of only counting the law of the appearance of the first number that night, see that this book office was previously under the command of Song Changshi, the prefect of Liangzhou, or under your uncle in the Yamen of the Liangzhou prefect. ”

Ling Han looked up at Liu Fan and said slowly, "Brother Liu, although those account books and the two pieces of rice paper that we counted and recorded the results were burned, I remember the name of that person, his name is ......."

Before Ling Han could say the person's name, Liu Fan immediately waved his hand to Ling Han and said, "Don't tell me yet, let me ask you what you plan for the final result we just analyzed?" ”

"I don't think I'll go directly to the camp to report, but I'll whisper it to my father."

Liu Fan shook his head slowly and said, "Everything is reasoning, there is no empirical evidence, and it is useless to say it all." ”
