Chapter 44: The Bloody Case of Liu's Mansion

Just when everything was going well in Hanzhong County and everyone was happy and busy, a shocking news came from Baozhong County: Liu Huaman, the official of the mutual market, was killed, and Liu Hua's whereabouts were unknown. The person who reported the report was a small official in Baozhong County, Chen Lin and others were discussing matters above the county government, and when they heard the bad news, Jia Xu was the first to react: "Everyone, this is the end of today's discussion, let's go to their places." Everyone turned to look at Chen Lin, Chen Lin didn't know what Jia Xu meant, but after years of cooperation, Chen Lin trusted Jia Xu very much, so he said to everyone: "Exactly, the officials should step down and act as they said before." A group of civil and military officers were about to withdraw, but Chen Lin suddenly stopped: "Gao Shun, Zhizhi stay." Gao Shun and Yan Pu stopped and waited.

After everyone withdrew, Chen Lin grabbed the tea set on the case and threw it to the ground, the tea set was instantly torn apart, Chen Lin was furious in a blink of an eye, and walked around the hall rapidly, his mouth was full of anger: "Good, good, good, this official thinks about them everywhere, they dare to kill my mutual city official, and they will dare to attack my Baozhong County tomorrow." ”

Several people in the hall saw that Chen Lin was angry, and they all slept and didn't dare to speak, Jia Xu lowered his head and squinted his eyes to take a sneak peek, just in time to meet Chen Lin's gaze. Chen Lin was also angry in his head, and when he saw Jia Xu acting like this, he suddenly felt funny, and turned to say to everyone with a gloomy face: "Forgive me, I am really angry. Jia Xu knew it was time to speak: "Don't complain about the lord, this matter is really outrageous, I don't know what the lord is going to do?" ”

Chen Lin immediately replied: "The reason why Gao Shun was left behind is to let Gao Shun reorganize his arms for war, and this matter will never stop there." Yan Pu hurriedly stopped: "The lord can't, at this time, Hanzhong County is in a critical period of development, and it can't be carried out easily, otherwise this more than year of recuperation will be in vain." Yan Pu was full of painful dissuasion. Chen Lin looked at Yan Pu like a monster and asked, "Is it difficult to let them continue like this, and if they continue to connive, they will become a big trouble in the belly of my Han center in the future." ”

Yan Pu was speechless for a while, but he was in a dilemma to help Jia Xu, Chen Lin saw Yan Pu's eyes, and also looked at Jia Xu, wanting to know what Jia Xu's plan was. Jia Xu looked at Gao Shun again, and saw that Gao Shun looked like he was just waiting for Chen Lin's order to move forward in heaven and hell, Jia Xu said: "Lord, it is not so simple at this time, and we have always missed a key, the spy." Chen Lin and Yan Pu both looked at Jia Xu with a confused expression, and almost at the same time said loudly: "Spy? Over there, Gao Shun also turned his head slightly and looked at Jia Xu.

But the common problem of strategists, Jia Xu saw that his words had attracted everyone's attention, and he felt a little proud in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and said: "Lord, try to imagine, Lord Liu had an accident in his own mansion, and hundreds of people in Liu's mansion did not survive, and it was at night, it was in Baozhong County, my lord." Hearing this, Chen Lin hurriedly spoke: "Could it be that Feiwen and the county order of Baozhong County are suspected? Jia Xu shook his head: "Not necessarily, if the Baozhong County Order is a spy, he must not act like this, because even if it succeeds in the end, the Liu Mansion Bloody Case happened in Baozhong City, and his county order will not be able to escape the involvement." But if it is impossible to say that the county order is not suspicious, hundreds of people in Liu Mansion were wiped out in an instant, and even the county soldiers in Baozhong did not have time to react, and they were not discovered until noon the next day, which can almost be said to be silent. It was expected that the Liu Mansion must have been poisoned and killed, otherwise it would be impossible for hundreds of people to resist at all, even if the other party sent more than 100 assassins. ”

Chen Lin listened to Jia Xu's analysis, thought about it in his heart again, and said: "What Wenhe said is not unreasonable, but now everything is just speculation, and the truth needs to be investigated. What Zhizhi said is also reasonable, at this time, Hanzhong County should not go to war. Chen Lin glanced at Yan Pu when he said this, Yan Pu breathed a sigh of relief, and Chen Lin then said ruthlessly: "But it doesn't mean that this official will let them do whatever they want like this, this official is bound to seek justice for Lord Liu and Hanzhong." ”

At this time, Jia Xu's heart turned around again, and he was even more sure that the statement that there was a spy was correct, and when he heard Chen Lin's cruel words, Jia Xu prayed in his heart, only hoping that there would not be too many people involved this time, because Jia Xu knew that Chen Lin was really angry, and the people involved this time were only afraid that they would die, no matter who it was.

In the early morning of the second day, the county magistrate of Baozhong County knelt in the city early, his face was full of sadness, and the officials behind him were also panicked, because they all learned from their own channels that Chen Lin's face had been all day yesterday, and the bloody case of Liu Hua, an intercity official, was only afraid that dozens of officials in Baozhong County would be in danger. After a while, nearly 100 cavalry came from Didi Tata in the distance, and everyone knew that it was the cavalry guards of Lord Taishou, Chen Lin always only brought 80 cavalry guards, and the 500 infantry guards rarely dispatched.

Chen Lin saw the appearance of the city gate of Baozhong County in the fog, turned around and sneered and said to Jia Xu: "Wenhe, this Baozhong County will be pretentious, hum." After finishing speaking, he accelerated his horse and ran, seeing that he was about to bump into the county commander who was kneeling in front of him, Chen Lin had no intention of stopping his horse, and nearly a hundred cavalry rushed over with a bang. Seeing this scene, the Baozhong County side was horrified, and many officials were ready to move, wanting to avoid it, but the county order was also stunned at first, then smiled miserably, and lowered his head again, as if waiting to die. There were already a few timid officials who stood up and fled to the side, and when there were still more than ten zhang, Chen Lin suddenly lifted the reins, and the guards behind him were also skilled and skilled in pulling the horse, Chen Lin ran in front, just a few feet in front of the county commander's head, and the hot air exhaled by the tall war horse blew on the county commander's scattered hair.

There was only the sound of horses panting around, and no one dared to exhale loudly, Chen Lin tilted his head and looked at the county order blocked by the horse's head, and said coldly: "Go back and think about it behind closed doors." The county magistrate, who had his head down and couldn't see his face, suddenly raised his head, looked at Chen Lin with tears on his face, and choked up in his mouth: "My lord, ......" was about to cry, Chen Lin looked at it indifferently and said: "Without the order of the official, you are not allowed to take half a step out of the mansion." The county magistrate stood up, there was no look on his face, like sadness, like remorse, and a trace of anger, no one could see what it was, and walked back step by step, out of a group of kneeling officials, and immediately a few people who looked like family members came to support the stumbling county magistrate, and were pushed away by the county magistrate.

Chen Lin didn't look at the departure of the county order, and the hearts of the officials kneeling on the ground were even colder, Chen Lin smiled: "Who is the county lieutenant?" Just a little behind the county order kneeling on the ground just now, a person who looked like a military general responded: "The last general." There was a clear anger in his loud voice, and Chen Lin remembered clearly that this person was just like the county order, not moving at all. Chen Lin said again: "You should also go back and think about it behind closed doors." The military general raised his head sharply, glanced at Chen Lin, closed his eyes again, bit his lip and turned to leave.

Chen Lin dismissed Baozhong Yiwen and Yiwu, turned to the dozens of people on the ground and said loudly: "From now on, Baozhong County will be governed by this official himself, except for these few people, the rest of the people will perform their duties and disperse." After Chen Lin finished speaking, he pointed to the few people who were afraid and avoided just now. The officials hurriedly got up in a panic and retreated into the city, only those few people knelt down crying and shouting like a huge thunder, and climbed in front of Chen Lin's horse, and they were afraid that the tall war horse would trample on it, so they did not dare to move forward. Chen Lin felt a burst of disgust in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, a few people jumped down from the guards behind him and stretched out their hands to lift these people away.

As soon as Chen Lin pulled the reins, Pegasus entered the city, leaving only a wisp of smoke and dust. Chen Lin went straight to the county government, and the sergeant before the government recognized Chen Lin and hurriedly came over to make arrangements, so that Chen Lin and the others could dismount and enter the government. At this time, almost all the officials above the government were there, and they were very frightened in front of the city gate just now, and then trotted all the way back to the government office, Chen Lin arrived, and hurriedly came to meet him. Chen Lin simply started the county meeting, and a group of officials stood in two columns, Chen Lin sat down in a high position, and Jia Xu also sat next to him.

Chen Lin: "The bloody case of Lord Liu, the official of the mutual market, is a dereliction of duty in Baozhong County, and the credit of you and others in the past for the people is sincere, and the official is willing to let you and others still occupy their original positions as guilty." A group of officials hurriedly knelt down and shouted damn it, and Chen Lin spoke up again: "The bloody case of Liufu, who stood up and talked to this official?" ”

After Chen Lin finished speaking, he immediately stood up and said: "Lord Yu, the next official is Baozhong County." "Baozhong County Cheng said a lot, but there was no fresh information, not as much as Jia Xu's secret agent reported. Chen Lin was disappointed and waved away from the officials again and again. Jia Xu understood Chen Lin's disappointment and said: "Lord, don't be in a hurry, this is a contest with several forces, how can it be easily obtained." ”

Chen Lin sighed after hearing this, and knew that Jia Xu was reasonable, so he wanted to solve the case on the first day he came to Baozhong, how could it be so simple. So he turned to Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, how is the development of the secret agent team now?" Jia Xu: "Lord, secret agents are not ordinary people, there are only about 100 people now, but they are all first-class masters, and it can be seen from the information transmitted back this time." ”

Chen Lin: "I'm worried about Lord Liu, Lord Liu has made great contributions to the opening of the mutual market, and now I don't see anyone alive or dead, which makes everyone who follows Yu think." Jia Xu: "Lord Liu is upright, good at business, and has a very high reputation among the people of Bashanyi, since he was appointed by the lord, he has broken away from the identity of the businessman, and has devoted himself to the lord to take care of the mutual market, fair and strict and meticulous, this time this catastrophe is also caused by the prestige of Lord Liu to make some people afraid. ”

Jia Xu said, Chen Lin remembered the mutual market operated by Liu Hua again, whether it is Bashanyi or Hanzhongmin, there are people who want to cheat in the mutual market, Liu Hua will handle it according to the law, and he will not be afraid at all, no matter whether you are the owner of Yiwang Village or the powerful in Hanzhong, all of them will be treated as ordinary people. For this reason, there were many complaints, Chen Lin saw it, not only did not punish Liu Hua, but also rewarded Liu Hua with a hundred horses of high-quality fabric, and no one dared to make trouble in the mutual market. Liu Hua's fairness and strictness have been greatly recognized by the Yiren who have always been deceived, and all the Yiren who went down the mountain to trade all respected Liu Hua. Just when Chen Lin was about to entrust Liu Hua with a greater responsibility, there was a tragic incident in Liu's mansion, how could he not make Chen Lin angry.

Where is Liu Hua at this time, whether he is alive or dead, who knows.
