The old man was pale when he was on the board, and he didn't seem to have come out of the fright, remembering that he was killed because of this casual glance, and he didn't feel that the murderer was too cruel and terrible, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid: "No wonder Cheng County Order will suddenly have a nephew, two years ago, Lord Cheng threw him out because the horse suddenly went crazy when he was riding, so he was broken leg, almost lost half his life, and he never appeared, now think about it, he is indeed a little suspicious." ”

Bai Hanyan's heart moved slightly because of his words, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

On the way to the county government again, she gradually had a guess in her heart.

Beat the horse and turned around the street corner, only to arrive at the Wuxiang County Ya, Bai Hanyan heard someone calling her name, raised her eyes to look for the sound, and saw Cangli standing at the door of the county ya, waving to her from a distance.

"Han Yan, Han Yan, you're finally back."

Tightening the reins with his bare hands, the horse stopped, Bai Hanyan jumped off the horse, handed it over to the servant, walked towards Cangli and smiled: "Cangli, I haven't seen you for the past few days, where have you been?" ”

Cangli scratched his head and said with a smile: "I was assigned by Lord Duan to investigate one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Bai Hanyan asked casually.

Cang Li's eyes didn't flicker when she asked this, and he was a little embarrassed: "It's better for Lord Han not to ask, so as not to be punished by Lord Duan." ”

Looking at his appearance, Bai Hanyan's eyebrows lowered slightly, she knew that it must be a top-secret matter, and she didn't know if it would be related to her father's case, but now was not the time to investigate.

She raised her eyes and nodded to Cangli with a smile, watching him appear at the door, and couldn't help asking, "Is there something wrong with you waiting for me here?" ”

When Cang Li heard her say this, he immediately suddenly patted his head angrily, and said hurriedly: "Look at my memory, Master Duan has something important to discuss with you." ”

"What's wrong?" Bai Hanyan was startled in his heart, and faintly felt that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, he stepped into the county government meeting hall, and a corpse covered with a white cloth fell in the middle of the hall, Duan Changge stood under the window with his hands in his hands, and Li Chengdu knelt behind him.

Bai Hanyan walked beside the corpse, gently opened a corner, and a blue face couldn't help but make her frightened, got up and walked to Li Chengdu's side, knelt down in his robe, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaguan Han Yan participates in the Duan Command Envoy." ”

Duan Changge hummed lightly.

Li Chengdu raised his head slightly, his face was full of apology and self-blame, and said in a low voice: "It's all the incompetence of the lower officials, who failed to look at the king's disciples, and let him commit suicide in fear of sin." ”

"Suicide in fear of sin?"

Bai Hanyan's willow eyebrows were shocked, and he tilted his head and asked, "Master Li, why do you say that he committed suicide in fear of sin?" ”

Li Chengdu sighed slightly, took out a copy of Wang Tu's suicide note from his arms, raised his hand and handed it to her, and said helplessly: "This is a statement of guilt, it is Wang Tu's dying pen, which explains that he pretended to be a ghost, used his identity as a law enforcer in the underworld to cover up people's eyes and ears, and conspired with Cheng County Ling to force Wang Zhifu to death, creating the false impression that his family committed suicide in shame, and discredited him." Now Cheng Xiao has absconded in fear of crime, and the fox girl Lingji is nowhere to be found, he knows that the death penalty is inescapable, so he committed suicide to apologize. ”

Bai Hanyan took the confession of the king's disciple, looked at it carefully, and then looked at the corpse covered with a white cloth, and speculated: "Is it possible that he killed?" ”

Li Chengdu shook his head and said, "He committed suicide by biting his tongue, and this trace was also written by him." ”

"Could it be that the king's disciples were coerced?" Bai Hanyan pinched the book of sin in the palm of his hand, his face was full of anger, the death of the king, many clues were broken!

Li Chengdu raised his eyes to look at her, as if he hesitated, but still said: "This case now seems to be the most suspicious of the king's disciples, his death, as long as the whole city posts a notice to arrest Cheng Xiao and Lingji, just wait for him to be arrested, this case will be closed." ”

"It's over?" Bai Hanyan couldn't help but feel angry in his eyes, and said angrily: "There are still doubts in this case......

"Enough!" Duan Changge under the window suddenly interrupted her words, and said with a coldness that was not angry and cold: "This case, this is the end of it." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at his back in disbelief, Huo Diyao got up, stared at him with burning angry eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This case is still full of suspicions, Lord Duan closed the case so hastily, but for his own selfish desires?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Duan Changge turned around suddenly, his face was as heavy as iron, staring at Bai Hanyan's eyes, and the gloomy murderous intent burst out, it was a rage she had never seen before: "This official's words are not your turn to put your beak, Han Yan, you'd better not get an inch." ”

Bai Hanyan tightened the crime book under his hand, his red eyes were filled with anger, and he glared at Duan Changge fiercely, not afraid at all: "I am the magistrate of Guiyang Mansion, and it is my job to investigate and arrest the murderer, and it should be up to me to decide whether the case is closed or not." ”

"Han Yan, kneel down." Li Chengdu couldn't help but be frightened when he saw her disobeying Duan Changge so much, and anxiously pulled her arm, saying, "Don't do it." ”

Bai Hanyan shook off his hand, and his voice fell to the ground with a sonorous voice: "Unless I die, I will definitely investigate this case, otherwise how can I die such a humiliating death for Lord Wang!" If Lord Duan refuses to allow it, then he will cut off Han Yan's head. ”

"You think I don't dare!"

Duan Changge was enraged by her words, and walked towards her quickly, Bai Hanyan clearly saw that the yin owl under his eyes was as thick as night, looking down on her like a wolf, raised his palm and grabbed her neck, lowered his head and said angrily in her ear: "Han Yan, do you really think that this official is reluctant to kill you." ”

"Your Excellency, mercy!"

"Your Excellency, mercy!"

Cangli and Li Chengdu spoke at the same time, and Li Chengdu kowtowed to him and said: "Lord Duan, Han Tuiguan just wants to solve the case, his tone is not good, Lord Duan has a lot, don't worry about him." ”

Cangli also took his robe and knelt at his feet, and said quickly: "Han Tuiguan is still young and doesn't know the world, please don't embarrass him." ”

Duan Changge stared at Bai Hanyan coldly, his subordinates used a little force, looked at her with satisfaction, and sneered: "I didn't expect that you have only been in Guiyang for more than a month, and you will win people's hearts like this, does the official mean that you have bad intentions or do you say that you are forming a gang?" ”

Li Chengdu and Cangli immediately bowed to the ground when they heard this, not daring to speak, this crime is not light, and it is not good to say that Han Yan will be punished by the nine clans because of this.

"You two go out, and this official and Han Tuiguan will talk alone."

Duan Changge suddenly let go of his palm, and his anger also subsided, Bai Hanyan covered his neck and took a step back, leaning over and gasping slightly.

The two had to exit the chamber, and both looked at her worriedly as they left.

There was a sudden silence in the room, except for the corpse of the king's disciple, the sound of the two of them breathing rapidly.

Bai Hanyan raised his eyes and saw that he was slightly angry, leaned over and knelt down to kowtow, and said: "Xiaguan has offended a lot, Lord Duan, don't be annoyed, it's just that there are still many doubts in this case......"

"Han Yan." Duan Changge interrupted her words again, his tone calmed down, and said, "Do you know the consequences of this matter if it becomes big." ”

Bai Hanyan knelt on the ground and pursed his lips silently, Duan Changge continued: "The emperor has a covetous heart for the fine iron bow and arrow, and he was originally suspicious of Wang Jin, so he sent a woman to monitor him, if this secret is really obtained by the emperor, do you know what the fate will be?" ”

What is it? Bai Hanyan didn't think about it, could it be that imperial power and desire are really more important than human life?

Duan Changge looked at her shocked little face, and sighed: "Emperor Yongle is good at fighting and has great ambitions, if he gets this bow and arrow made of stainless steel, it will be difficult for him to be ambitious again, and he will raise troops to fight everywhere, and then the world may not be like this." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at him blankly, as if he was speechless in shock, since ancient times, emperors have ambitions, which emperor can be an exception?

The atmosphere was quiet, and only a bleak tranquility remained, with almost no emotional helplessness.

Bai Hanyan frowned, kowtowed to him again, and said in a firm tone: "So it is even more important to find the real murderer and destroy that picture, if ,...... If Lingji regains the heart of the clan, it will be difficult to protect against disasters. ”

Duan Changge's eyes fell on the clear blue sky outside the window, as if helpless and sad, he sighed heavily, and said, "So, this is also the reason why I will kill her." ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, Bai Hanyan's heart trembled a few times, and she could barely control herself, Huo's she stood up again, and couldn't help but tremble all over, he was going to kill Ling Ji!

"As long as you destroy that picture, why does Lord Duan have to kill her! …… After all, it's not her fault! ”

Duan Changge closed his eyes, his expression could not hide his grief: "Her heart will not die one day, I will kill her one day, we are destined to be entangled to death in this fate, in her position, she has her must do, I have mine to do it." ”

Bai Hanyan lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but feel heartache and sorrow for Lingji, falling in love with Duan Changge was the biggest disaster in Lingji's life.

Suddenly, she thought of something, raised her crystal eyes and said to Duan Changge: "What if I said that she was not the mastermind behind this case?" ”

"Not her?" Duan Changge looked at her, his expression obviously a little incredulous.

"If I say that the real murderer is someone else, she was coerced, can Lord Duan let her go?"

Duan Changge's eyes immediately lit up: "Is there any basis for what you said?" ”

For some reason, Bai Hanyan looked at the hope rising in his eyes, her heart was astringent, she took a deep breath, suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and said word by word: "Yes, the old man once said that Cheng Xiao's nephew who suddenly appeared seemed to have appeared specifically for him, and his behavior was strange, and his face was also fake. And the old man also said that a few years ago, Cheng Xiao accidentally fell off a horse, broke a leg, and almost lost half his life. ”

"You're suspicious, that broken leg." Duan Changge's eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to look at Bai Hanyan.

Bai Hanyan slowly walked to the window, looked at the blue sky above his head, and said in a deep voice: "I want to go back to Wangjiapu again and open the coffin for an autopsy." ”
