The lanterns made by the uncle are all handmade, but the surface is coated with a layer of tung oil, so even if it is put in the water, it still retains its beauty.

Clusters of small lanterns emitted a faint light, and the delicate carvings overlapped the shadows through the light, and the storm blew the lanterns on the river up and down, gradually revealing a swollen corpse.

The corpse was white, a pair of eyes were swollen and scattered, the body bubbles were swollen and smelly, and an unpleasant stench gradually came out.

Although they hadn't seen Lao Zhang, they had already subconsciously determined that the corpse in the water was the missing Lao Zhang.

The commotion here soon attracted the officials, and soon the noisy crowd was dispersed.

It was difficult to salvage the corpse in the torrential rain, but fortunately, there was a bunch of lanterns blocking the river, and I don't know whose lanterns hooked the corpse, so that the corpse would not drift any further.

The salvage of the body was not smooth, but it was still hooked, Wen Ruyan and Gu Zaoli glanced at each other, and the two of them raised their heels without saying a word.

The bean-sized rain fell on the umbrella and made a crackling sound, Wen Ruyan suddenly wanted to know how the lanterns of the two of them were, and subconsciously glanced back.

The piles of lanterns were destroyed by the corpses into piles of broken paper, blending with each other, and it was already a little difficult to distinguish each other.

She glanced up, and the rain from the oil-paper umbrella formed a curtain of water, and the lanterns of the two of them could no longer be found in the blur.

"Don't look at it, if you like it, I'll make another one for you."

"Hmm."

The two of them walked one foot deep and one foot shallow, the twilight behind them was cloth, and the scene of pouring rain reflected the deep backs of the two.

"Why is there another corpse?" Chen An had already received the news from his subordinates, and hurriedly rushed over, and sure enough, he saw Wen Ruyan, although there was a nasty ghost Gu Zaoli next to him.

He shook his head, shook off the frost and rain on his hair, and looked at Wen Ruyan's face full of concern: "Is it cold?" ”

Before Wen Ruyan could speak, he waved his hand and hurriedly ordered Zhao Bin to make a fire and make a charcoal fire.

The people in the yamen couldn't raise any fighting spirit, and a good beggar festival not only had to take turns to stand guard, but also ran over to face a corpse, and no one was happy to change it.

Before seeing the corpse, Chen An already had a guess in his heart: "Find someone, go and find the daughter-in-law of the Chen family." ”

Although it is a bit cruel for her to come over and recognize people at this time, the procedures that should be taken are still inevitable.

He stood at the door and patted the damp places on his body, and waited until the cold on his body subsided a little before walking in to Wen Ruyan.

"No need," Wen Ruyan responded to what he had just said, "I've already asked people to look for it, and it should be on the way now." ”

However, it was raining too hard outside, and I was afraid that it would take a while to wait for people to come.

After a long time, the daughter-in-law of the Chen family did not wait, but came as an uninvited guest.

Wen Ruyan was a little sleepy and drowsy, but when she suddenly saw Wanhe and Liang Qingluo who appeared in the yamen, her somewhat dizzy brain suddenly woke up from the charcoal.

"Why are you here?"

She jerked herself up from her stool, waking up the other people who were napping chicks pecking rice and nodding.

Wan He and Liang Qingluo were holding an oil-paper umbrella, and now that they had collected the umbrella, they suddenly accumulated a puddle of water stains on the ground.

Both of them were serious between their eyebrows, and even if they smiled now, they couldn't hide the seriousness that was revealed: "Long time no see." ”

Chen An woke up from his chair suddenly, because there was too much flesh on his body, he almost didn't fall directly to the front and hit his head.

Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, he looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in a daze, and his eyes suddenly straightened.

When did Wenhua Town come to so many handsome men and women?

He has a good impression of Wen Ruyan, so the angular and handsome Gu Zaoli is naturally regarded as a thorn in his side.

But today, there was another fairy and a fairy standing at the door of the yamen, which suddenly made him feel that he had not woken up from his dream.

He was going to pinch himself hard, but it hurt too much after thinking about it, so he gave up.

"Is this your friend?" Chen An cleared his throat and looked at Wen Ruyan on the side.

"Hmm."

Wan He had already walked in front of Chen An with Liang Qingluo, Chen An was carrying a package on his back, he opened the package and took out a token inside.

"The son of Cheng in the east of the county, Liang Qingluo."

As soon as he saw the token, Chen An, who had originally doubted whether it was a dream, was immediately hungry and convinced that it was not a dream, otherwise he would have been scared awake a long time ago.

He glanced at Wen Ruyan cautiously, and when he saw Wen Ruyan nodding, his heart suddenly sank.

Although Donglin Town and Wenhua Town are both towns, the economy of Donglin Town is many times better than that of Wenhua Town, which is simply the gap between the big town and the small town.

Even if Wen Ruyan is the county leader of Wenhua Town, he is still lower in front of the county of Donglin.

What's more, he is just a head catcher, in charge of this yamen, which is not comparable to even Wenhua Town and County.

If it was in the past, there would be no problem, but now behind the yamen, there are three corpses piled up, and if the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family comes, and then identifies the corpse, he can think that his official hat will be unstable.

This is not to tell others that the law and order in Wenhua Town is not good, and there are psychopathic murderers, and they have killed several people now.

In case a negligence and dereliction of duty falls on him at that time, I am afraid that he will not have a chance to be an official in this life.

Chen An thought a lot in his mind for a moment, he felt that this might be the return to the light before he died, and he didn't feel that the woman in front of him was beautiful and moving, but only felt that she revealed a hateful energy, like the yin difference of the underworld.

Even though he was like this in his heart, he was still silent on his face, and even squeezed out a little smile from the folds on his face: "I don't know what happened to a few people who came from afar?" ”

Liang Qingluo rummaged through his package again, found a piece of paper, and handed it to Chen An.

Even if Chen An wanted to read it without changing his face, he also felt that this was too much of a test of his perseverance, his pupils subconsciously tightened, and then he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person relaxed, looking very comfortable.

He handed the paper back to Liang Qingluo, and a sincere smile appeared on his face: "What cooperation is needed at that time, our side must cooperate vigorously." ”

Wen Ruyan looked at the two of them curiously, and she didn't know what magic that letter was, so she directly made Chen An change her face.

There was another shadowy figure at the door, and there seemed to be a person behind him, and as soon as he entered the door, a wave of moisture swept over him.

"People brought it."
