"Come in." A slightly hoarse male voice came from inside the room, apparently looking like he had just woken up.

Mo Yan pushed the door in, and Master Chen's book behind him followed.

Mo Yan went directly into the inner room with the basin, but Master Chen stood in the outer room and bowed through the curtain:

"My lord, the lower official has something important to report!"

The man inside seemed to yawn: "If there is anything important, Master Chen can handle it directly, and there is no need to ask the official." ”

Master Chen's brows furrowed slightly: "My lord, this matter is very important, and it involves a human life!" Don't be so hasty! ”

"Oh? I never thought that there would be a murder in this small Lin'an County. Master Chen, you should talk to this official about this case. ”

Listening carefully, there was a hint of interest in the man's voice.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Master Chen's eyes, and then he replied respectfully:

"This is a case reported by Li Tiegen, a villager from Lijia Village, and the deceased is a one-and-a-half-year-old boy who is the son of the informant......"

While Master Chen was talking, the man had already freshened up and dressed, and then walked out of the curtain.

And Master Chen also happened to finish the news he had learned earlier at this time.

The man was dressed in dark blue brocade, and his handsome face had a casual smile: "Master Chen, you go and gather some people, prepare a carriage, and then go with me to Lijia Village." ”

This person who looks like a son-in-law is none other than Xie Jinlan, the county magistrate of Lin'an County, who took office half a year ago.

Master Chen bowed down: "Yes, my lord!" ”

Then he lifted his feet and went out of the room.

Looking at the back of Master Chen's book, Mo Yan looked at his master with some puzzlement:

"My lord, haven't you always ignored these things in the yamen? Why didn't you just throw it to Master Chen this time? ”

Xie Jinlan chuckled, and a strange light flashed in his eyes: "How can I not take a look at such an interesting thing?" ”

Without waiting for Mo Yan's reaction, Xie Jinlan left the room by himself.

Mo Yan scratched his head in confusion: "Looking at the corpse, is it a very interesting thing?" ”

But he was quickly relieved: "Anyway, I have never understood what adults think. ”

Looking at Xie Jinlan who was far away, Mo Yan shouted: "My lord, wait for Mo Yan!" ”

Then he quickly chased after him......

"What a thing this is for a lack of morality! Oh my God, open your eyes! Come on and kill that bastard who killed my grandson......"

In a daze, a very sharp voice kept echoing in Ruan Yezhen's ears.

"Rushi, go and see who dares to make noise in the General's Mansion early in the morning, disturbing the county lord's unstable sleep!"

Ruan Yezhen raised her hand to cover her ears, and turned over a little impatiently, with a thick sleepiness in her voice.

But it was this turn that made her notice something unusual.

"Ahh Help me! ”

Sleepy-eyed and worried, Ruan Yezhen was instantly frightened by the situation in front of her, and the screams came out of her mouth uncontrollably.

But the group of people in front of them didn't seem to notice that such a large person had fallen from the tree.

They were still talking quietly around the sad-looking people in the middle.

Seeing that she was about to bump into someone, Ruan Yezhen covered her eyes and wailed in her heart: It's over!

But soon, she sensed that something was wrong: why, it didn't hurt at all?

As soon as Ruan Yezhen stood up, a person suddenly bumped into her head-on.

Ruan Yezhen subconsciously raised her hand to block.

But what happened next was a big surprise to her.

He looked at the person who had passed through in disbelief, and then looked down at himself.

Ruan Yezhen seemed to realize something, and her pupils instantly constricted.

The next moment, she closed her eyes and slammed straight into the jujube tree in front of her.

Just as she expected, she actually walked directly through the date palm tree.

So, she's ...... Is it dead......

Slowly squatting down, hugging her knees tightly, Ruan Yezhen directly buried her head and sobbed lowly.

How could it be...... How could she die......

Clearly on the day before...... She was still in the midst of everyone's blessings...... Completed the ...... of her life The most important and important ......

Why is it just a sleep...... And she became...... What it looks like now......

Daddy...... Mother...... Eldest brother...... Second brother...... The Emperor's Uncle...... Where are you...... Zhen'er is so scared......

"The village chief...... The county magistrate is here...... I'm taking the catchers with you...... Rush this way! ”

One of them ran to the village chief out of breath.

The village chief was shocked when he heard this: "The county master actually came here in person?" This, this, this...... We didn't prepare anything......"

After slowing down his breath slightly, the visitor hurriedly comforted the village chief: "Don't worry, the village chief said that the county magistrate said that he just came over to see what everyone should do." ”

The village chief was very surprised: "You still have a conversation with the county master?" ”

The man touched his head embarrassedly: "How can it be, it was the little guy who followed the county master to say it for the county master." ”

Although everyone doesn't have to care, when did the people of their Lijia Village see the county master?

Therefore, when they saw Xie Jinlan and his party, everyone present saluted in a panic.

Taking advantage of this gap, Tie Zhuniang held Li Baoer's corpse and knelt directly in front of Xie Jinlan with her family:

"County master, you must be the master of my family's treasure! He was so young, and he died so inexplicably! The county lord ......"

Tiegen's daughter-in-law also cried breathlessly:

"Yes, county master, you must be the master of the people's women! Bao'er is the boy that our Li family has been looking forward to with great difficulty, but we can't just ...... it"

Even a big man like Li Tiegen couldn't help but wipe his tears:

"County master, we don't ask for anything else, we just want to get justice for my family Bao'er......"

A couple and a little girl kneeling at the back were silent.

As early as when Tie Zhuniang knelt in front of the county master with her family, the village chief felt a sigh in his heart.

Now seeing that these people are unrelenting, and they are bound to give a clear explanation from the county master, his heart is even more anxious.

quietly glanced at the county master, and just saw that the other party frowned slightly.

The village chief's heart suddenly cooled: It's over, it's over! The county master is definitely going to be angry and leave, how can this be good?

But what the village chief feared did not happen.

I saw Xie Jinlan quietly give Mo Yan a look.

Mo Yan understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Tie Zhuniang:

"Don't worry, this lady, since my family is here, I will definitely give you an explanation. It's just that now, I have to ask my aunt to take the family to the side, otherwise my family will not be easy to investigate, don't you say? ”

When Tie Zhuniang heard this, her desperate eyes showed a glimmer of hope, and she raised her hand to wipe the tears on her face. Unaware of it, she wiped her hands full of mud on her face.

Crying and laughing, he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's the people who are confused." ”

Then he looked back at the few people kneeling on the ground: "You guys also hurry up, don't hinder the county master's investigation." ”

watched the county lord instruct the catchers to check the clues nearby, and looked at the figure of the county lord walking under the jujube tree.

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Fortunately, fortunately, the county master was not angry. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to end it.
