Chapter 16: The Secret of the College (10)
"Madame is not at home."
Luo Fan encountered a closed door again at the door of Mrs. Lin's house.
Yesterday he came with the seventh day of the first month, and the old man in the concierge said that Mrs. Lin was not at home, why is she not there now.
Chu Qi shouted: "We came from the academy, and we know that Madame is at home without classes today. ”
"It's no class. But the lady went back to the country. ”
What do you do when you go back to the countryside during the New Year's Day? Luo Fan didn't believe it.
No one came yesterday, and no one is there today, isn't this a deliberate avoidance?
People will have a temper, not to mention that Luo Fan is a young man, and he is also going to be windy and rainy in the capital, when he has received such a gas, he immediately pushed the gatekeeper open, kicked the door open and strode in.
The courtyard was quiet, except for the soft cry of the lark under the porch.
"Sister, cousin."
Luo Fan looked for it from room to room, but there was no one.
Mrs. Lin is indeed not at home, and neither is the personal maid.
Luo Fan knows that the ancestral grave of the Lin family is in the countryside, but it is not Qingming, what is Mrs. Lin doing in the countryside?
The old porter mustered up the courage to come over and stop him: "My wife is a lady, although my lord and my wife are cousins, they can't break in like this for no reason." Luo Fan said angrily: "Get out, it's now Qincha's errand, don't mention any cousins." ”
As he spoke, he pushed the old man away.
"General, you can't do this, please come back first."
Chu Qi pouted and said, "Old man, since you know that the general is Qincha and Mrs. Lin's relative, are you still holding back?" Be flexible. ”
While he was talking, there was a noise at the door, followed by a bang, the door was pushed open, and someone shouted loudly: "The master has invited Mrs. Lin to the county office." As he spoke, several people rushed in, and the leader was dressed in a soap official costume, carrying a Pu knife at his waist, looking at the old man and asking, "Where is Mrs. Lin?" The grandfather invited her to the county office. ”
"What are you going to do at the county office?" Luo Fan asked with a dark face.
Only then did the soap officer find that the people in the courtyard looked familiar, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Lord Qincha, who had entered the city the day before yesterday, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, the villain is here to take Mrs. Lin to the county government for questioning." ”
"Nonsense, Mrs. Lin is a festival woman who has been enshrined by the imperial court, how can she casually enter the county government to ask questions?" Rowan was furious. He suspected his cousin, and even got angry when Mrs. Xunlin didn't meet twice, but if someone else had something wrong with each other, he was extremely angry, yes, he was a super protective person.
"Yes, yes, the little ones know it, but today this matter is really incommensurate."
The soap official tried to calm himself down, he was also a local old soap official, but every day he was faced with the main book, the county officer, and the county order, how to talk to the nobles from the capital so closely, that was the nobles from the capital, Lord Qincha.
"What the hell is going on?"
Luo Fan's brows furrowed, and he could see that he was very impatient.
"Dean Zhang of Ruyi Academy was killed. The little girl of the Zhang family said that Mrs. Lin did it, and the little one came to take Mrs. Lin to the yamen for questioning. ”
"A little guy can let you convict Mrs. Lin?" Luo Fan sneered, "Get out of here." ”
The officials didn't dare to distinguish from the Qincha, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and they left in disgrace under the leadership of the head catcher.
The old man patted his chest: "I'm scared to death." I'm glad you are here today. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had just stopped this Lord Luo.
Luo Fan snorted, turned around and left.
walked to the gate and threw down a sentence: "When Mrs. Lin comes back, she will come to the post station to find me immediately." ”
The old man walked a few steps to catch up and said, "My lord, my wife has really returned to the countryside to worship her ancestors." ”
"I was fine yesterday morning, why didn't I come here in the afternoon, who are you fooling?" The seventh day of the first month is dissatisfied.
"It's true, after this girl and that Qin girl left yesterday, the Ruyi Academy ......"
Thinking of what the soap officials had just said, the old man hurriedly stopped talking and looked at Luo Fan, his face full of horror.
"Ruyi Academy? You make it clear. ”
Luo Fan's eyes flashed with anger, where could the old man resist this powerful aura, and his voice was like a mosquito: "In the afternoon, Dean Zhang of Ruyi Academy came to invite Mrs. to come over, and the lady came back at night when the lamp was held, her face was ugly, she didn't bring a girl with her, and her hair was a little messy, Mrs. said that she was going to go out of the city soon, and asked me to find a car to send her out." ”
The old man sighed: "Madame went to Ruyi Academy, but it is impossible to kill people, and please learn from it." ”
"Hmph, it's not me Mingjian now, it's the county government who insisted that she killed someone, what happened to her and ran back to the countryside without saying a word!" Luo Fan was really angry.
Yesterday, he swore to Zengshou that his cousin must have been framed and thrown out of the top cylinder, but now he is beginning to doubt himself.
Chu Qi followed behind Luo Fan and chattered as he walked: "Look, we talked about it yesterday...... Mrs. Lin herself admitted it, but after admitting it, why did she still kill people, and what was the reason for the killing. ”
Luo Fan suddenly felt that her noise was annoying, and shouted: "Have you said enough?" Chu Qi hurriedly stopped. He stuck out his tongue and said, "General, you are called angry." ”
Luo Fan ignored her, turned over and got on the horse, and left after hitting the horse.
"Hey, General, wait for me." Chu Qi followed on the horse, and chased after him with a whip.
Luo Fan held back a fire in his heart and went straight to the county office.
Before the person arrived, he saw a small two-person official sedan chair in the distance, and there were several officials in front of him, and the Xia County Commander saw Luo Fan on the opposite side in the gap of the curtain, and hurriedly asked someone to stop the sedan chair, and walked a few steps with his robe and hugged his fists and said: "My lord." ”
Luo Fan got off the horse: "Where is the county order going?" ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on the county commander's face, so he had to say truthfully: "My lord, yesterday night, Dean Zhang was killed at home, and there were only Mrs. Lin and Dean Zhang at the scene. ”
"Absconding in fear of crime!"
Luo Fan sneered: "It's just to go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors, and you can't abscond in fear of sin." ”
"That's going to be a search." Xia Xian Ling turned out to be a strong one, not afraid of Luo Fan's "obscenity." ”
Luo Fan sneered: "Okay, let's see what you can find, if you can't find anything, I'll ask you for the blame." ”
A group of people flocked to it, and the old man was completely stunned.
I stopped this side and went to stop that, but I couldn't catch it. The head catcher whispered: "Old fellow, if it weren't for Lord Qincha here, how could you still stand here with all your beards and tails, and you should know a little bit about the times." ”
The old man begged Luo Fan with a sad face: "My lord, young master, I can't let them search it." ”
"If you haven't done anything wrong, you're not afraid of the ghost calling the door, since your cousin hasn't done anything, what are you afraid of?"
Luo Fan was apprehensive when he said this, he still remembered the letter sent by Zhang Kexin, which said that he knew what Mrs. Lin had done.
Mrs. Lin is suspicious, but Luo Fan believes that his cousin will not kill anyone.
"My lord, I found a bloody coat." The prefectural magistrate came out and said.
"What?" Rowan didn't believe his ears.
Chu Qi ran out of the house and shouted: "My God, it's really bloody clothes, bloody hula, scared to death." ”
