At the end of September of the fourteenth year of Hongwu.

The fleet, which had caught a large number of plump salmon in Kamchatka, left the mainland and continued to follow the currents to the east.

In September, the Arctic Circle has entered winter, although the temperature has not yet reached below zero, but in the unobstructed sea, the biting sea breeze seems to be able to freeze people's souls.

Fortunately, before departure, the fleet had made a lot of preparations to deal with this situation.

Thick winter clothes became a must-have for the sailors and the disappearance of the twenty-four.

Unable to wash their bodies for a long time, the crew members were inevitably infested with lice.

Standing on the mast, Jiang Liu scratched his back irritably, he, the lookout, this can be said to be the most tragic existence at this time.

In the warmer months, his duties were much easier than those of the rest of the crew, but in the winter, he stood tall in the already cold weather, even if the fleet gave them the bearskins they had caught before.

But Jiang Liu still felt cold.

Seeing that the surveyors had finished their calculations, Shi Xi in the cabin asked, "Where are we now?" ”

The surveyor, mapper and locator said: "General, according to the survey, we are now about seventy north latitude, and we are still in the right direction. ”

Stony Brook nodded, looking at the map on the table.

The location between Kamchatka and Alaska is dotted.

This map is not accurate, but can only be used as a reference for general directions.

For example, on this map, there are no archipelagos between Sakhalin and Kamchatka, but there are actually large archipelagos in between, and the location of these archipelagos was also added to the map by Stony Brook.

If they followed the map given by Yang Hao, they would not be able to encounter any land until they reached the edge of another continent now.

Due to the gradual coldness of the weather, it is no longer possible to pass along the coastline from the Bering Strait.

Now they are only near Kamchatka, and the weather is already so cold that the sea is estimated to be frozen further to the north, and walking there is no different from suicide.

Stony Creek prays that it will encounter one or two small islands before reaching the other side.

If there is no land to rest, the rest of the voyage will be extremely difficult.

。。。。。。

Tongyu County.

Three days have passed since the trial.

Zhang Shoutong and the three Jinyi guards personally searched for relevant human and physical evidence.

But the process did not go smoothly, and the murder of the entire family of the mayor of Mikawa, an important witness, brought the case to an impasse.

As long as the evidence of Lin Feng in Sanchuan Town on the day of the crime is found, it can basically be concluded that Lin Feng is inseparable from this case.

In Tongyu County, a sneaky figure quietly sneaked into the Lin Mansion while it was dark.

He stopped outside a room and knocked lightly three times.

"Who?"

A somewhat wary voice came from inside the door.

"Lin Guanren, it's me!"

"Oh! Come on in! ”

The man looked left and right, opened the door and walked in.

"How's it going?"

"My subordinates followed those people all the way, and they didn't find anything."

"Hmmm! Very well, you keep following them, and don't let them find out. ”

"Lin officials can rest assured, their subordinates understand."

"Well, let's go down!"

"Yes!"

The figure bowed out of the room, carefully closing the door.

After looking around, he quickly climbed out of the courtyard wall and quickly disappeared into the night.

It was just that not long after the man left, a figure in a corner quickly followed.

A few days later, Zhang was tried again.

This time, the two prisoners looked pretty good, and I think their previous warning had played a role.

Lin Feng glanced at Zhang Xu, who was sitting on the main seat, and sneered in his heart.

He didn't think that this person who didn't have all the hair would be able to fight himself.

Zhang Shu felt his gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled: "How has Lin County Ling been in the past few days, I see that your feet are floating when you come in, obviously you have been working a little hard in the house these days, you have to pay more attention to your body!" ”

"Humph! If Zhang Qin is not careful, the lower official is in good health. ”

Lin Feng snorted coldly.

And Zhang Shu's eyes could not hide a trace of disgust.

There was a slap of wood in his hand.

"Ascension!"

“缟氏，上次你言林县令要买你为妾，然其欲求不得，而对你夫君痛下杀手，并且奸污于你，此事是也不是。”

"Zhang Qincha, what do you mean!"

Zhang Shu glanced at Lin Feng coldly, and said coldly: "This official is trying the case, why does Lin County Order want to roar in court?" ”

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and went back hatefully.

"Qin Cha Shangguan, what the people said is true, it is this person who harmed my husband and wife, and I ask Qin to be the master of the people's daughter!"

Talking! The emotional Mo Shi knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

In a moment, his forehead was bright red.

Zhang Shu was worried that the case was not over yet, so the woman fainted, and hurriedly asked people to stop this self-harming behavior.

"Ran, you saw this person appear in Sanchuan Town that day!"

Ran said in a deep voice: "Yes! I saw him in Sanchuan Town! ”

Zhang Shu nodded, slapped the shocked wood violently, and shouted: "Bold Lin Feng, you are guilty!" ”

Lin Feng was startled, and said with a blank face: "Zhang Qincha is not joking, just based on the words of the two prisoners, he will condemn me, what is my crime." ”

Zhang Shu laughed angrily: "Okay, dare to be hard when you die!" Bring a person's card! ”

林沣闻言心中一惊，连忙朝着大堂门口看去。

I saw Jinyi Weiyan pressing a man with his head down and walked in.

见到这人的一瞬间，林沣只觉得天旋地转。

Seeing this, Zhang Shu sneered in his heart.

"Who's in the hall?"

那人撇了一眼林县令，然后扑通一下跪倒在地，道：“草民知罪，草民之罪，求上官上放过我的家人。 ”

"This official is asking you, you can answer truthfully."

The man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

"Who are you? You can get to know the people in the church. ”

The man nodded and said, "Return... Back to Shangguan, the grass people, the grass people are a hunter in Tongyu County, no surname, name Nan, and people in the hall. ”

"This official asked you, but you led someone to kill your husband!"

The man's face was as white as paper.

Zhang Shu patted the shocked wood and shouted: "Answer truthfully!" ”

"Back to Shangguan, it was the grass people who did it."

“你为何将其杀害！”

"It's him, it's Lin County Ling who instructed the grass people to do it, he threatened me, if I don't obey his arrangement, I will kill the grass people's whole family, the grass people don't want to kill people, ask Shangguan for mercy!"

Zhang Shu coldly glanced at Lin Feng, who was already pale, and shouted: "Lin County Order!" Lin Feng! You are guilty! ”
