The servant was stunned for a moment, and then said in fluent official dialect: "The master hasn't thought about it yet, and plans to go to the capital to have a look first, so he only brought me." ”

Lin Xin touched his chin, with a touch of inquiry in his eyes, and asked a digression: "Your official language is very good, and you don't have an accent at all." ”

This servant's official language is not only good, but also has no accent at all, this kind of servant is rare in the capital, and it is even more rare in Jiangnan.

There are two kinds of servants in the family, one is born to the family, and the other is purchased from outside.

Jia Shengzi is quite easy to speak here, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he is fluent in official dialect, although he can have some accents.

And those servants who are bought from the outside also have to learn the official language, and the most important purchase condition is to let the servants in the family and be able to learn the official language.

It's just that the requirements for them are not too high, just a little. And their pronunciation is more or less standard, and it is just a few common words taught by Yapo.

Therefore, for the official words spoken by the servant in front of him, it should be a son born from the family that went out of that clan, or the family of the deceased was originally a clan.

The servant was stunned again, and didn't understand why the adult in front of him asked this, so he replied with trembling: "The villain has studied. ”

Lin Xin nodded, smiled at him, and asked again: "I am also from Jiangnan, it's a pity that this one died, I don't know if I sent someone back to report the funeral?" ”

The latter sentence was asked by Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin looked at Lin Xin and nodded and said: "I have sent someone a few days ago, but this road is far away, it will take a month to come and go, let alone a month, alas, this person is lucky, the weather is still cool now, this corpse will not change in the ice cellar, and their family can still see the whole corpse." ”

Jingzhao Mansion Yin sighed, and he didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or deserved, or that he was unlucky.

But the servant's eyes were full of sorrow, and he said, "Please find the murderer of my master as soon as possible......

The servant stared at Wu Qiong'an, who was standing aside, with his eyes as he spoke, and then said the next words: "It's okay for me to send the master's body home as soon as possible." ”

Jingzhao Mansion Yin nodded and said, "Also, if it is now, if this case can be solved earlier, it can save the family from tossing back and forth in the capital." ”

Lin Xin glanced at Jingzhao Mansion Yin dissatisfied, Lord Lin subconsciously frowned, and was about to reprimand Lin Xin, I haven't seen him for a few days, this stinky boy's wings are hard, dare to throw himself face?

However, seeing Gu Yu sitting in the back, Lord Lin didn't say anything, just closed his mouth and watched Lin Xin quietly try the case.

Although Lin Xin has the lowest position here, he has no choice but to hook up with Gu Yu and call him a brother, and his status is beyond that of him as an uncle.

What's more, Lord Lin understands that Lin Xin is a genius in solving cases, so naturally he will not interrupt him at such a time, even if he wants to admonish, then he has to wait for the case to be over and "talk" with him.

While thinking in his heart, Lord Lin added another condition, he had to wait for Gu Yu's absence.

Soon Lin Xin took the lead again and asked, "When did you and your master arrive in the capital?" ”

"It happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the Lantern Festival was celebrated in the capital."

The servant replied almost without thinking, and Lin Xin raised his eyebrows again and said, "Not long ago?" ”

"If you go back to your lordship, that's right."

"Then why do you want to come to this Huanxiang Building? Didn't your master come to the capital to do business? Have you decided what business to do during this time? ”

Speaking of this matter, the servant's face was even more sad, and he said: "Don't mention this matter, the master spent almost all the money we brought, and almost anywhere he spent money, and it was a gambling house and a brothel in Qinglou, not to mention looking for a way to do business, and he didn't even make any friends."

A few days ago, he also chartered the entire Huanxiang Building, and he was drunk all night long, if it weren't for the fact that the master had gone, I didn't know how to explain to my wife when I returned home. ”

"Oh, I don't have to figure out how to explain this now."

Lin Xin said with a smile on his face, the servant's eyes widened, as if he wanted to ask Lin Xin why he said such a thing, but he felt that it was not wrong to think about it carefully.

For a moment, the expression on his face was a little tangled.

Lin Xin smiled and said, "Alas, I don't mean anything else, I just think it's too coincidental, it shouldn't be you, I don't know how to explain to your wife, so I deliberately murdered your master." ”

The pupils in the servant's eyes shrank suddenly, and he immediately reprimanded angrily: "My lord, what are you talking about? Our lord is so kind to me, how could I do such a thing? ”

"Oh, I'm just guessing."

Lin Xin said with a smile, not caring about the servant's anger, and then said: "After all, this is the capital, and no one knows you, so naturally there is no way to prove that you are the butler of the deceased." There's also no proof that the two of you are unusually close.

What's more, even if it is really his housekeeper, in this capital, when you are not familiar with the place, it is not impossible for you to kill your master and take away all his money, so you are very suspicious. ”

"Your Excellency has wronged!"

After Lin Xin finished saying this, the servant's body shook at that moment, and he kowtowed heavily on the ground three times, kowtowing and shouting injustice.

Lin Xin asked him not to kowtow when he got up, but he didn't move at all while sitting on the chair, in his opinion, the person in front of him was not worth getting up by himself at all.

"Don't worry, Lord Ben will never let go of a bad person, miss a good person, as long as you are really innocent, with the investigation of time, you will definitely prove your innocence."

Lin Xin's words were a promise to this servant.

It's just that his next words made the servant tremble.

"As for whether you are innocent or not, you know very well in your heart."

As Lin Xin spoke, he watched a person walk in from outside the door, saluted the few adults present, and then said, "Lord Lin, the matter you want to investigate has been investigated. ”

This brocade guard is also a conditioned reflex, subconsciously, and reported the situation to the one he was most afraid of.

Lin Xin nodded with satisfaction.

Long before the interrogation of this servant, Lin Xin arranged for Jinyiwei to investigate one thing, that is, the ruffian who left the capital for no reason during this time.

Gu Yu glanced at this Jinyiwei indifferently, but secretly slandered in his heart, obviously he was a high-ranking official of Jinyiwei, but this person did not report to himself, but reported to an outsider, it was too much, and there was no need to think about promotion this year.
