"Lin Zhao? Who are they? Wang Anshi asked curiously.

Wang Yan replied: "Father, this person is Meng Ruogu's companion student, and he is quite talented and learned, and he even feels that he is not under Meng Ruogu. ”

"Oh?"

Wang Yan immediately talked about Lin Zhao's discussion of business at the birthday banquet, arguing that Professor Zhu was speechless, and added: "Of course, this person is not in vain. I have talked to him, and this person is also dissatisfied with the current evils, disapproving of the self-contained and conservative style of study, and also has the ambition to innovate! Moreover, I feel that this person is more lively and practical than Meng Ruogu......

Wang Anshi was quite surprised, his son has always been above the top, and it is rare to respect people so much, and he can't help but be interested in this Lin Zhaoda.

Wang Yan continued: "Let's talk about these things first, but I think he may be able to help with this Mengfu bloody case!" ”

Wang Anshi doubted: "Could it be that he is good at the way of criminal prison investigation?" ”

"I'm not sure, but judging by his speech and demeanor, he is careful and sensitive, and he is good at observation, which is an advantage in the way of detective! Wang Yan said: "And he is from the Meng Mansion, Miss Meng claims to be wronged, and when she leaves, she is the only one who asks him for help, there must be a reason." With his relationship with the Meng brothers and sisters, he may know something that outsiders don't know. He is coming to the door now, and eighty percent of it is related to this matter, so I think that this Lin Zhao may be able to help us! ”

Wang Anshi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "That's the case, and see him first!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lin Zhao was guided by the government officials to the back hall, which was already considered the private residence of the Wang family.

"Brother Lin!"

Lin Zhao didn't expect Wang Yan to greet him at the door, which was already a great face. pretended to be surprised: "I have seen the prince of the king, the prince welcomes him personally, and he is tormented!" ”

Wang Yan smiled: "Where? My father invited Brother Lin to come over to meet! ”

Wang Anshi? Lin Zhao was really a little flattered this time! Jiangning Prefect, Hanlin bachelor Wang Anshi wants to see him by name?

Lin Zhao entered the middle hall with trepidation, and saw a thin middle-aged man sitting on it, his expression was still gentle, but there was a faint majesty. The wrinkles on the face not only do not make people feel old, but are a symbol of experience and weight. This is one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, a famous minister through the ages, and the future prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi?

"Father, Brother Lin is here!" Wang Yan introduced with a smile.

Lin Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Little people Lin Zhao greets Lord Wang!" ”

Wang Anshi smiled slightly: "You are Lin Zhao who is talking about the birthday banquet today and scolding Professor Zhu?" "Maybe it's because of Wang Yan's presence, Bachelor Wang's performance is quite gentle, so as not to make people nervous.

"It's down there!" Lin Zhao agreed, and then said in a deep voice: "But the kid is not scolding, but talking about things, reasoning!" ”

Wang Yan smiled and said: "There is nothing to say about the dignified professor, hey! It's also a kind of ability. ”

Wang Anshi added: "Having said that, you need to remember to respect teachers and not be too rude!" ”

In front of these two people, with Lin Zhao's current identity, humility is a must, and he said in a deep voice: "Let the adults and the sons laugh, and the boy will follow the teachings of the adults!" ”

Wang Yan changed his words and asked, "Why did Brother Lin come here?" But for Miss Meng? ”

"I am here for the grievances of the Meng brothers and sisters!" Lin Zhao's face was solemn, and he replied in a deep voice!

"Do you represent the Meng family or are you personal? Want to intercede for Miss Meng? Wang Yan tried to ask the question, if Lin Zhao's purpose was only here, there was no need to count on it!

The name of the reluctant minister is not called in vain, Lin Zhao speculated that Wang Anshi has an iron-faced and selfless tendency, if it is a simple plea, why should people buy it? Immediately shook his head and said: "I only represent myself in the next place, not to intercede for Miss Meng, but to avenge her grievances!" ”

"Grievances? How can you conclude that Miss Meng is wronged? Wang Anshi asked softly.

Wang Yan also pretended to be curious: "Brother Mo Feilin has evidence? ”

Lin Zhao said truthfully: "There are some clues, but they are all personal and family words, if the other party denies it, I am afraid that the court will not be enough to prove it!" ”

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Lin Zhao originally asked Wang Yan for help, and he didn't want to be directly received by Wang Anshi, so he thought about it for a while, turned his heart sideways, and said: "The kid has a reluctant request, I hope to meet Miss Meng and understand the situation at the time of the crime; If so, can you ask about the results of the murder scene investigation? Look for clues to prove it! ”

"Even if you know, what? You're not a detective! Although Wang Yan said this, he was actually full of expectations for Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao said: "I am indeed not a pusher, but I have read some books and have dabbled in the science of detective...... The Meng family has a great kindness to me, and Meng Gongzi and Miss are good at each other, so I took the liberty to come, hoping to make this case come to light, so as to comfort the spirit of Ruogu Gongzi in the sky! ”

"Wouldn't it be better for you to report the clues you know to the government, and the government will verify it? Why do you have to get involved? Wang Anshi seemed unimpressed.

Lin Zhao suddenly felt that the Wang father and son didn't seem to object to their own verification, but he didn't know the reason! But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that if you can participate in person, it will be much easier to find out the truth, and Meng Ruoying will be able to get away with the crime earlier, and it is also a great opportunity!

What happened at the birthday banquet today, Lin Zhao can be regarded as seeing one thing, the slaves are inferior, and the merchants are not much better, even if they are rich in the world, they are still despised. If the Meng family didn't have a meritorious reputation, why would they be so prosperous? Therefore, it is not possible to simply engage in business.

In ancient times, he paid attention to agriculture and industry, and Lin Zhao faintly felt that development in his career was the king. Although there is no clear plan yet, if you can use your criminal investigation expertise to enter the eyes of the future prime minister, there may be multiple ways in the future!

With such a complicated feeling, Lin Zhao said: "What the adults said is, but some clues are related to the Meng family's inner house, and they may be more familiar and convenient below!" Moreover, now is not ripe, and some things will not only fail to become effective evidence, but will also be criticized and counterproductive! ”

Wang Yan smiled: "It seems that you know a lot of inside information!" ”

Lin Zhao said: "It's just a coincidence, and there are occasional gains...... It can be regarded as having its own providence in the dark, just to avenge Meng Gongzi's grievances! ”

"If you are involved, how long will it take to find out the truth?" This is undoubtedly Wang Yan's greatest concern.

There's a play! Lin Zhao's heart moved, and he immediately said firmly: "If you are fast, you will say two or three, and if you are slow, you will say four or five!" ”

"Really?" Wang Yan was a little surprised, and Wang Anshi also felt a little unexpected.

Lin Zhao nodded solemnly and said, "Really! If you can't do it, please treat the boy for the crime of obstructing justice! "A rare opportunity, you must not miss it, Lin Zhao is willing to take a risk!

Seeing this, Wang Yan was full of joy, in his opinion, Lin Zhao was stronger than those pushers who ate and drank! Now this matter is not only related to Meng Ruoying's surname, but also to himself. Thinking of the article "but sniffing the green plum", Wang Yan believes that Lin Zhao will never be careless, and will definitely go all out. At this time, he dared to agree so simply, he must have already raised eyebrows and made a bamboo in his chest.

"Father, why don't you let Lin Zhao try!" Anyway, it is powerful and harmless, Wang Yan thinks it is completely feasible.

Wang Anshi saw that his son agreed, and he cherished his talents. Meng Ruogu is already dead, and this Lin Zhao in front of him seems to be good, if he gives it a try, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.

Governor Wang pondered for a long time, nodded lightly, and agreed!

It's really not easy to make the husband nod his head! Lin Zhao didn't know that Wang Anshi's father and son went to Beijing to face Jun in order to close the case as soon as possible! This moment is undoubtedly an opportunity for him, Lin Zhao stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief, but the responsibility on his shoulders and the pressure in his heart are much greater......

After Wang Yan got his father's approval, he said: "This case has been submitted to Jiangning Mansion to undertake, and my father will personally supervise it, you have to work harder!" ”

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, I will definitely live up to my kindness!"

Wang Yan said: "Let's go, I'll take you to visit Miss Meng!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the prison in Jiangning County, Lin Zhao met Meng Ruoying.

However, after half a day, the arrogant and powerful Miss Meng was depressed and haggard. His brother was suddenly killed, and he was still in grief, when he was suddenly accused of being a murderer and was unjustly imprisoned. Everything came too quickly, how could she, a teenage woman, bear it?

Meng Ruoying squatted in the corner, silent, and her mood was extremely low. She wondered who had killed her brother. Why did the sister-in-law wronged herself? Could it be ...... Meng Ruoying didn't dare to think about it, there were so many dirty things in the family?

It's a pity that I don't have evidence, and I don't know the ins and outs. No one trusted her, even her closest grandmother abandoned her, and Meng Ruoying felt deeply lonely and helpless. Especially in the empty women's prison, she is the only one, which makes people feel more and more frightened! Because of Meng Ruoying's special status, Shao Wenquan of Jiangning County deliberately detained her in solitary confinement......

The only hope is Lin Zhao! I asked him for help when I was leaving, but was he willing to help himself? In such a homicide case, how could he, a scholar, intervene? After calming down, Meng Ruoying didn't hold out much hope, and then fell into despair. So much so that in the damp and dirty prison, he sat directly on the ground, not caring at all......

The cell door creaked, and Meng Ruoying didn't raise her head, hoping that the female jailer would come to deliver food. The prison food stinks, how can she swallow it as a young lady with fine clothes and food? What's more, now, she doesn't have the slightest appetite at all!

"Miss!"

Meng Ruoying was suddenly startled, and looked up to see Lin Zhao standing at the door with a food box!

He's coming! Meng Ruoying's eyes lit up, and she was excited when she saw a glimmer of hope!

Lin Zhao smiled: "Hungry, right? Come! Brought you something delicious! ”

"Lin Zhao, did your grandmother ask you to come, or did you ...... it yourself?" Meng Ruoying remembered something and asked hesitantly.

Lin Zhao said: "The old lady is overly sad and bedridden...... Don't worry about that much yet! These dishes are all cooked by my cousin herself, and I can't eat them! ”

Although she didn't answer positively, Meng Ruoying already knew it in her heart, and she couldn't help but look gloomy!

"Alright, eat first!" The accompanying female jailer opened the cell door and handed the food box inside. Then he retreated to the door and stood at the door with the servants of Jiangning County.

Meng Ruoying stepped forward and mechanically opened the food box, which contained several delicate side dishes. Pick up the chopsticks and pick up the vegetables in your mouth, and the taste is delicious. Eating deliciously, his heart was full of sourness, and two lines of tears couldn't help but burst out of his eyes......

Lin Zhao said softly: "Don't cry, your face won't look good if you cry......"

"When is it, you still have a flamboyant tongue?" Meng Ruoying was teased by him, sobbing and scolding!

Lin Zhao smiled: "I am this virtue, and the eldest lady didn't know it for the first time!" ”

"Humph!" Meng Ruoying stopped crying and asked, "How did you get in!" ”

Lin Zhao said: "I went to see Wang Gongzi, and now the Wang Governor's Mansion has taken over the case and ordered me to participate in the investigation!" ”

"You ......" Meng Ruoying was moved, and her eyes moistened again......

Lin Zhao said: "Don't cry, tell me, what was the situation at that time?" What did you find? ”

Meng Ruoying said: "At that time, I saw that Chen Xuan and my sister-in-law were gone, so I followed and wanted to find out. So he followed him into his brother's yard, and when he walked outside the door, he heard movement inside...... Pushing it in, I found that my brother had fallen in a pool of blood, and he struggled for a while and then didn't move......"

"In other words, Childe was already killed when you arrived!"

"Yes!"

Lin Zhao asked again, "Have you ever seen Chen Xuan and the Li family?" ”

"Nope!" Meng Ruoying hesitated a little and asked, "Why is my sister-in-law wronged...... Isn't she? ”

"Don't ask too much, I already know in my heart, and I will definitely find out this case and avenge my son." Lin Zhao looked at Meng Ruoying's eyes and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will save you from the cage!" ”
