Xie San had already decided that before he left Jizhou, he had to ask Shen Jinglun about everything ten years ago, but those things could not be discussed in the yamen, let alone heard by the third person. At this moment, he looked at it clearly, He Huan chose to turn his back on him, what reason did he have to stay in the yamen?

When Lu Xianling heard Xie San's words of resignation, he secretly sighed, and politely asked him to observe the interrogation of Shui Ting, and hinted flatteringly that this time he would not invite Cao Shi and others to confront Shui Ting in court.

Xie San nodded casually and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Lin Zhutou.

"Third Master Xie." Lin Zhutou arched his hand to him, "Come to think of it, the people who bought them, if they want to grasp the progress of the matter, they are likely to hide in the crowd......"

"Maybe the man was in the crowd, but all my men found was the three of them looking suspicious. If we want to continue to investigate this matter, I am afraid that we will have to wait for the painter to draw a portrait of the person who instructed him according to their description. Xie San hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Right now, if we can confirm who the old woman who died in front of the yamen is, maybe there will be a breakthrough in the whole thing." ”

Lin Zhutou frowned slightly, and said: "Luo Wulang and others, I have seen them, but that old woman ......" he shook his head, "It looks like an ordinary old woman, I asked my brothers, no one knows her." ”

Xie San nodded noncommittally and did not answer. Luo Wulang is a gangster in Jizhou City, and it is not surprising that Lin Zhutou recognized him, but the old woman who committed suicide is probably an old man who was threatened or lured, and it is impossible for Lin Zhutou to know everyone in Jizhou City. Besides, she is dead, and there is no proof of her death. At most, the yamen will post a missing person notice.

Come to think of this. Xie San's brows moved. said to Lin Zhutou: "In this way, I will take five hundred taels of silver as a reward for the person who provides clues." ”

Xie Sanyi opened his mouth for five hundred taels, and Lu Xian Ling hurriedly wanted to accept it, but he heard Lin Zhutou say: "Xie Sanye, although rewarding silver can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people, it will also bring a lot of fake news. I'm afraid that the manpower of the yamen won't be able to cope with ......."

Lu Xianling interjected: "How can you not cope?" Leave a few of the yamen who patrol the streets. ”

"Your Excellency!" Lin Zhutou owed to Lu County, "If the three of them are really instructed by the thieves." We have to step up patrols on the streets. ”

Lu County Ling was immediately a little displeased, and said in a low voice: "Half of the summer harvest is almost over, and it is unknown whether the thieves will pick Jizhou." Besides, how can you be sure that they are telling the truth? ”

Lin Zhutou nodded yes, his eyes showed a little disapproval, and he slandered in his heart: You promised to offer a reward to take people, but you didn't want to embezzle a few taels of silver from it.

Seeing that he was only right, the county commander of Lu County put up the shelf of the county order, and thanked Xie San for his support to the yamen.

Xie San smiled and said politely. Secretly looked at Lin Zhutou with the corner of his eye. Five hundred taels of silver is only a drop in the bucket for him, and he will invite someone to have a meal in the capital. He knew it. Lu County's order was busy and agreed, because he wanted to be able to catch a little bit before leaving. These are all trivial things, the only thing he cares about, is Lin Zhutou evil?

When he first arrived in Jizhou, although Lin Zhutou targeted him everywhere, he felt that he was honest and good at catching fast. But with the bits and pieces of this more than a month, he felt that under the surface of his integrity, there seemed to be an unknown side. He even suspected that He Daxu and others were killed by him.

At that moment, Xie San said to Lu County Order, and later he asked Chang'an to send the silver to the yamen, and then returned to the inn.

Lu County Ling sent Xie San away, and scolded Lin Zhutou in a low voice: "Xie Sanye can charter the inn, so he naturally doesn't care about the silver." For such nobles, if you don't accept their money, you will only make them unhappy, and they think that you will not do things with all your heart, understand? ”

"Yes." Lin Zhutou lowered his head, his eyes flashed slightly, as if he had made some kind of determination.

Lu Xian Ling didn't notice his abnormality at all, he looked at He Huan in the room, and sighed sincerely: "I didn't expect that Miss He would have such a good means to let Uncle Shen and Third Master Xie help her like this." ”

Inside the house, He Huan tried to restrain herself from looking out of the door, but when she turned her head unconsciously, she saw that there was no Xie San in the courtyard, only Lu Xian Ling was looking her up and down. She frowned secretly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jinglun followed her gaze.

Outside the door, Lu Xian Ling touched Shen Jinglun's gaze, and he was shocked, hurriedly restrained his expression, walked into the house quickly, and explained with a smile: "Third Master Xie has something urgent to go back to the inn, he asked me to tell Uncle Shen to see you another day." He thought he was kind, but he didn't know that these words had another meaning in the ears of the listeners.

Shen Jinglun smiled lightly, did not say anything, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

Lu Xianling's heart was pinched again, and he said cautiously: "Someone made trouble outside the yamen just now......" He wanted to say that it was Xie San who caught the troublemaker, but after thinking about it, he temporarily changed his words, and said: "Lin Zhutou has already taken the troublemakers to find the painter, hoping to find out the person who instructed them." ”

"Master Lu, you have always handled the affairs inside and outside the yamen very properly." Shen Jinglun's words, he didn't need to tell him.

Lu Xianling didn't know how to respond to this, and said dryly, it was Shen Jinglun who praised it.

In the scorching silence for a moment, Shen Jinglun seemed to be impatient, and said bluntly: "My lord, I don't know when the road can be opened?" ”

"Yes, open the hall, open the hall!" Lu Xian Ling was relieved, "I'll go and prepare immediately, please Uncle Shen and Miss He wait for a while." With that, he hurried away, shouting at the yacha to prepare for the opening of the court, and at the same time ordering the maid to change his clothes for him.

It wasn't until Lu Xianling's voice was far away that He Huan suppressed his voice and asked, "Cousin-in-law, according to what you can see, who instructed the person who made trouble outside the yamen before?" ”

Shen Jinglun replied lightly: "No matter who they are instructed by, it is impossible for the yamen to find clues. ”

"The old woman who can commit suicide is a human life after all. In just over a month, if you add He Daxu, Feng Jiyang and others, no less than ten people have died. He Huan sighed in a low voice. Previously, in the Shen family, Shen Jinglun got the news of the old woman's suicide, and wanted to go to the yamen alone, but she begged him so that she was able to follow.

Shen Jinglun heard the words "no less than ten people", sighed lightly, and sighed leisurely: "Compared with the innocent people killed by the Japanese in the past few years, what is the value of more than a dozen lives?" I don't know where they're going to burn and loot this year, but—" He stopped abruptly.

He Huan knew that Shen Jinglun wanted to say: But the emperor didn't pay attention to it, and the yamen didn't do anything. She lowered her head. She hated the Japanese thieves, and the people along the coast hated the Japanese people, but the emperor ignored them, what did ordinary people like them do?

In a short silence, the yacha invited them to go to court, and the Lu County Order had already opened. (To be continued......)

PS: In the next chapter, Shui Ting will be formally interrogated, how do you think she will die?
