"Miss, Wang County Ling and Liu County Cheng ask to meet." On the second floor of the inn, the fairy whispered.

Lu Liang on the side listened, and his body shrank obviously.

Xu Qingyan glanced at him, stroked the teacup and said, "Let them wait in the lobby, and wait for the county lord to finish drinking this tea." ”

The hot tea in his hand is Zelan's freshly brewed pre-rain Longjing, and it will take at least a quarter of an hour to wait for the tea to cool down and then drink it slowly. And looking at Xu Qingyan's mood, it may be slower.

"Yes." The fairy comprehended and went down to reply.

Seeing Xu Qingyan's attitude, Lu Qingyan's conscience was relieved.

"Zelan, open a room for Mr. Lu, try not to be too far away from us, so that it is convenient to take care of us." As he spoke, he turned to Lu Liang and said, "Childe will stay in the inn for the time being, and it is better not to return to the village before the case is concluded." “

"That's nature." Lu Liang couldn't wait, in this situation, how dare he go back to the village alone, not afraid of being hacked.

Zelan led Lu Liang out, and Xu Qingyan sat alone in the room and pondered.

Wang Xianling and Liu Xiancheng came together, this matter was expected by her, but she didn't know why they came this time, was it Lu Liang or Liu Laohu?

In the lobby downstairs, the officials guarded the door, and the guests in the hall ran out after Wang Quan and Liu Xin revealed their identities, some quickly returned to their rooms, and some went directly outside, anyway, no one dared to stay inside.

When Lingxian came down, he saw the lobby of Youda, only Wang Xian Ling and Liu Xian Cheng, and the innkeeper who was standing behind the counter and was restless.

She slowed down and gave a light salute: "The county lord is dealing with some things, let the two adults wait." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, the county lord has something to do, just go and get busy, the next official is waiting here." Wang Quan and Yoo Shin smiled.

"The word has arrived, and the slave and maid have retired."

Waiting for the spirit fairy to go upstairs, the shopkeeper frowned and thought for a moment, then took out the treasured tea from under the counter and brewed two cups, brought it to the two of them, bowed down and said, "Two adults, please drink tea." ”

Wang Quan is thinking about what Xu Qingyan means? Hearing this, he came back to his senses, saw the shopkeeper bring tea, and unceremoniously took it and blew it: "When did the county lord and his party move in?" ”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday evening." “

Evening? Liu Laohu died in the middle of the night, so there is no conflict in time.

"Then what about after moving in, has the county lord ever gone out?

The shopkeeper shook his head: "This, Xiao Lao'er is not clear, there were many people staying in the hotel at that time, and he was busy greeting other guests, but he didn't pay attention." "He didn't know the identity of the county lord at that time, so where would he pay attention to that.

Wang Quan asked some more things, Xu Qingyan heard it clearly upstairs, inquired about her whereabouts, and inquired in such detail, is this suspicious of her?

It's just that she hasn't looked for them yet, they came to the door first, looking at the blue tea soup in the cup, the corners of Xu Qingyan's mouth hooked a sneer.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them inquired about everything they could, and as time went by and the news increased, the suspicions in Wang Quan's heart slowly became solid.

At this time, the official outside the door came in and reported to Liu Xin on the side: "Lord County, the people in your house are asking to see you outside, saying that they have something important to report to your lordship. ”

At this time, what could be important, Xin only thought about it for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and then strode out.

Around the corner outside the inn, a gray-clothed servant was anxiously looking this way.

Xin walked over a few steps, and the servant saw that he was about to speak, but he waved his hand and interrupted: "I don't want to say more here, come with me." ”

It wasn't until he took his servants around to a quiet and uninhabited alley that Liu Xin suppressed the nervousness in his heart and asked, "How is it, but you can find out clearly, is there anything abnormal in the mountain?" ”

"Yes, all the men are gone, neither the stewards nor the workmen are seen."

"What! Are there traces of a fight now, but are there corpses? “

"No, nothing." As he spoke, the man seemed to remember something: "Oh, by the way, there is a pot of rice porridge that has been overturned." “

What kind of clue is this, Liu Xin frowned, thought about it for a long time, and failed to associate this matter with Xu Qingyan very smoothly.

The biggest problem is the problem of manpower, just now they have inquired with the shopkeeper about the retinue of the lord of Le'an, it is said that there are only a few men, and the rest are women, if they took those people away from the mountain, it is too far-fetched.

But if it wasn't her, who could it be?

Liu Xin, who couldn't figure it out, had to go back and whisper the news to Wang Quan.

After Wang Quan heard this, his originally somewhat firm doubts began to waver again.

Coincidentally, at this time, Xu Qingyan led the girl down: "Let the two adults wait for a long time, is it Le'an's." “

"Don't dare, don't dare, Chixi County Commander Wang Quan (County Cheng Liuxin) has seen the county lord." The two saluted respectfully.

"No courtesy, I don't know why your lord is here today?

Wang Quan snorted: "The county lord is here, why don't you send someone to inform the lower officials, so that the lower officials can do their best to be the landlord." ”

"Just passing by, how dare you disturb the adults."

"The county lord said and laughed, that is, passing by, the lower officials should also be entertained, although the county is poor, but some of the scenery can still be seen, or I don't know the day, I will let my wife take the county lord to go shopping." This is both polite and tempting.

Xu Qingyan didn't answer, and replied with a cold expression: "Let's talk about it." He sat down.

The air was quiet for a few seconds, Liu Cheng looked around, and decided to strike first, and the shopkeeper returned to the backyard the moment Xu Qingyan came down, and at this moment in the hall, except for the two of them and Xu Qingyan and her maidservant, there was no one else.

"Let's tell the county lord first, listen to the housekeeper, before on the street, the people in the house accidentally had a conflict with the county lord's girl, and the lowly position is here to compensate for the next person, and I hope the county lord will not blame."

"Oh, don't say anything about the county, the county lord has forgotten, it's also my girl who is reckless, and she dares to save people indiscriminately when she goes out without knowing the situation, if it weren't for my two girls who arrived in time with the phoenix seal of the palace, I'm afraid they would have entered your Liu Mansion as a guest."

With cold eyes, Liu Xin looked at Liu Xin with a cold back, and hurriedly smiled and apologized: "This matter is indeed something that the housekeeper did wrong, but he doesn't know that it is someone from the county lord's side, otherwise it will not be like this, I will punish him when I turn around, as long as the county lord can dissipate his anger." “

"This is your family matter, and the county lord is not interested in hearing it, but the county lord wants to ask about the matter of Lu Liang." Speaking of this, Xu Qingyan's eyes became fierce in vain: "As a local county magistrate, you are in charge of a county criminal case but you know the law and break the law, for a personal vendetta, wronged the Lu family, and caused the death of his family, what crime should you be!! “

Such a straightforward question made Liu Xin's eyes flash a trace of panic, but he quickly calmed down and retorted: "What Lu Liang said to the county lord, the lower official doesn't know, but the lower official wants to tell the county lord that the trial needs evidence, not listening to the words of the parties."
