Chapter 21: The Secret of the College (15)

Zeng Shou smiled and pointed to the handkerchief and asked, "Old man Lin, what is this?" ”

Lin Zhishan glanced at it, and then looked at Xia Xianling, who was shocked and obviously recognized the owner of this thing.

"It's the old man's." He smiled wryly, helpless.

"Oh, how can you have a bloody veil in your house?"

The tone of longevity is prolonged.

"Whoever accidentally bleeds and covers it will be like this." Lin Zhishan smiled, "Could it be that this is a murder certificate?" ”

"What nonsense, this veil is almost soaked with blood, how much blood will come out?"

"Adults are nobles, I don't know the hardships of ordinary people, I accidentally hurt my hands when I cook rice and chop wood in the kitchen at home, and a handkerchief is full of blood, so what's the matter."

"Where did you find this veil?"

Xia County asked.

Catching his head and looking at Lin Shanchang, and then at Zengshou, he lowered his head and said, "In Lin Shanchang's bedroom." ”

"Hah, in the bedroom! Lin Zhishan, I only know that you are still cooking and chopping wood at home! ”

Zengshou screamed strangely, Xia Xianling was so frightened that he trembled, and his voice was thinner than a mosquito: "This...... What Lin Shanchang said was also right, a handkerchief didn't mean anything, but the bloody clothes found in Mrs. Lin's house were even more revealing. ”

Junko stood behind the officials with her eyebrows lowered and pleasing to her eyes, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

Luo Fan asked the general: "This veil was found in the bedroom?" ”

"Yes, General, the little one followed this catcher and the little brother of Shunzi in, searched the house, and later saw this handkerchief under the bed."

Lin Zhishan laughed: "My lord, the old man is over half a hundred years old, if the old man kills someone, how can he throw this blood-stained handkerchief under the bed?" I burned the fire early, and the adults underestimated me. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and said to Xia County Lingzuo: "The murder of Zhang Kexin, the president of Ruyi Academy, please ask the grandfather to investigate, the old man is busy with affairs in the academy, so he will leave first." ”

"Stop!"

Zengshou sneered: "You said that this little guy framed you, are you so sure that you came out of Ruyi Academy last night and were not seen by others along the way?" Lin Shanchang, I'm afraid that most of the people in this Ruyang City will recognize you. ”

"What if the old man goes to Ruyi Academy? Who saw me kill Kexin? Just a bloody veil? My lord, it's a good thing to be eager to win, but you're obviously framing you. ”

Zengshou's face changed: "Bastard." ”

"The old man does have some thoughts that dare not look in front of others, but people are not saints and sages, and the adults are stubbornly pulling this flaw in the morality of being a person, and if they do not frame the old man for murder, then please put the old man in shackles, and wait for the autumn decision." Lin Shanchang looked like he was loyal and unyielding, his hair was gray, he was dressed in a scribe's shirt, and his hair was made of a coarse cloth hoop, which had a bookish smell. This person can inherit Jixiang Academy and become a great Confucian, and he is very outstanding in terms of appearance and temperament.

Zengshou stared at him, his gaze like poison.

He knew what this man must have done, but there was no evidence.

"The old man went to see Zhang Kexin last night, because the adults found out about Mo Zhanxiang's death, so I went to warn Zhang Kexin not to talk nonsense, involving my niece, and the reputation of our Lin family is important."

Luo Fan listened to his words and tear his cousin, clenching his fists with hatred but unable to do anything.

"At that time, his illness was much better, and he promised me not to talk nonsense, hey, the old man was also helpless, the old man was a little bad, but nowadays, the officials in the capital are very elegant, and the brothers in Fujian and other places have become popular, and the court has not said anything? The old man was moved by Zhang Kexin's mind at the beginning, he is talented and capable, and the old man will inevitably love the house and Wu. ”

Hearing this, Zeng Shou couldn't help but snort, with disdain on his face.

Because of the joy in his heart, he turned a blind eye to Zhang Kexin and his niece, and later Zhang Kexin and Mo Zhanxiang were jealous, causing all kinds of disputes, and the old man felt that things were not good, so he ordered Zhang Kexin to manage Ruyi Academy. Once these old things are revealed, the reputation of our academy will be ruined, and my niece is a festival woman enshrined by the imperial court, if she has an adulterous affair with others, my Lin family ...... Alas. ”

"Bastard, you know your cousin is dead, so you throw dirty water on her! You old thing, I ...... I'll strangle you. ”

Luo Fan heard him keep saying that my niece said in front of so many people in the lobby that Mrs. Lin had an affair with someone, and rushed up angrily to kill someone.

Chu Qi hurriedly grabbed his arm: "The general is angry." ”

Lin Shanchang was stunned: "What? Ah Ying...... How is it possible, I also saw Ah Ying coming out of Ruyi Academy last night! ”

He was surprised that his expression didn't seem to be fake, but this person was cunning and cunning, and he thought that this person was acting again.

"It's funny, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, why don't you go home after confronting Zhang Kexin, but hide in the dark to observe others? Sorry or not? ”

Zengshou patted Luo Fan on the shoulder: "Don't be impatient, I'll take care of this matter." ”

"The old man was worried that Zhang Kexin was talking nonsense, and after leaving, he was restless and wandered in the alley outside Ruyi Academy for a while.

This old fellow! He satirized the personal vendetta of the longevity bulletin, and claimed that he had an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Kexin, but Zhang Kexin's lover was actually Mrs. Lin, and he knew nothing about Mrs. Lin's death.

It's really perfect to choose yourself out completely. After all, in front of so many people, they have already admitted that they have Longyang thoughts about Zhang Kexin, but this is not too much, the Beijing officials can, and the head of this academy can naturally too.

As for killing? Zhang Kexin was still fine when the old man left, as for why Mrs. Lin died after she left, then you should ask Mrs. Lin. Oh, Mrs. Lin is dead? My hard-working niece, who was a widow back then, and now she died unexpectedly, it's really pitiful, even if she ruins the reputation of our Lin family, and the lights go out, as the head of the Lin family, I won't pursue it.

Lin Shanchang did not leak, and he was completely removed from the murder suspicion, of course, this imperfect moral character is more real, Xia Xian Ling couldn't help nodding and determined that Lin Shanchang was not guilty.

If he is not guilty, he can only let him leave the county government and go home, and it is impossible to arrest people because he has a little Longyang thought.

Aggrieved, too aggrieved!

"Stop!" Zengshou shouted, "Since Lin Shanchang has a clear conscience, then go to Zhang Kexin's room with us to have a look." ”

"The old man naturally has a clear conscience."

Lin Shanchang stood still in the court.

Zhang Kexin died in his bedroom, and when he pushed the door open, a smell of blood came to his face.

His little servant was so frightened that he stood under the porch and did not dare to go in.

Xia Xianling's face was not much better than Luo Fan's, and he stood at the door and said, "Lord Qincha, please first." ”

Take a look at Zengshou, look at the blood stains on the ground and ask, "Is Zhang Kexin dying next to the table?" ”

Xia Xianling nodded: "The body was found here." There was blood all over the ground, and there was blood on the table. ”

"He died on the table?"

"It's lying on the ground, probably struggling before dying."

Zeng Shou thought about the scars on the back of the corpse, nodded and said, "This knife is really ruthless, Elder Lin Shan may not have such strength." ”

Without waiting for Chief Lin to nod yes, he continued: "Mrs. Lin is a weak woman, and she doesn't have the same strength, she inserts a knife and almost pierces it. ”

"The murderer ......"

Xia Xianling glanced at the trembling little guy: "That's him." ”

He pointed to the little guy.

The little guy hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not me, it's not me." ”

"It's not him, if I were him, I would have swept away Zhang Kexin's belongings by killing someone and running away, why should I still cry and wipe my tears, feeling sorry for my two taels of silver. Look at the furnishings in this house, the cage is soft and soft, not to mention twenty taels. Is this murderer...... There are other people, and I can see it clearly. ”

Luo Fan hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" He thought that Zhang Kexin's ghost hadn't left yet, and was in this house.

Zengshou raised his eyebrows, and a pair of peach blossom eyes smiled: "This...... I can't say yet. ”
