Yang La and Gu Jing outside the door were sitting on the steps together, with sad faces, and they didn't dare to knock on the door for fear of ruining the good things of the couple.

Yang La was completely misunderstood, Gu Jingtong was just inaccurate, in case there was something, wouldn't he embarrass his friends and embarrass himself.

For some reason, Gu Jingtong thought that Chu Cheng had really become Mrs. Lin Boqin, and his heart was inexplicably a little sore.

Such a quirky and delicate woman, although she is a widow who has been married three times, if she is married to him...... It's not unacceptable. Gu Jingtong reacted to what he was thinking, and immediately knocked his forehead with his folding fan in amusement. At this moment, the door was opened with a "squeak", but Chu Cheng poked her head out, and a pair of water-cutting eyes fell on the two of them: "Why don't you come in and sit here?" Is it fun to blow cold air? ”

Yang La almost rolled down the steps in fright, and he stammered, "Madam and Lord Lin are all right so soon?" ”

"Okay, I didn't say anything."

No matter how smart Chu Cheng was, she didn't expect that she would be misunderstood, so she looked stupid.

Yang La was still a little foggy, and the three of them stepped into the house, and saw Lin Boqin covering the window.

Gu Jingtong looked at it carefully and quietly, well, Pei Zhi was dressed neatly, the things on the desk and low couch were neatly placed, and there was a smell of ink in the room, there was no special smell, it seemed that he had indeed misunderstood.

"Sheng Feng, can you find out the news?"

Only then did Gu Jingtong remember that there was something important.

He hesitated for a moment, then took a secret letter from his sleeve. The envelope is painted with cranes, and the seal is covered with nine stacks of seals, and the book "Chen Yu'an, the envoy of the guest province, is written." ”

Lin Boqin took the letter, unfolded it, and did not introduce anything else, so he wrote a few words in Long Feifengwu, demanding that the case be investigated quickly, otherwise the government office and the county government will not be spared punishment.

Gu Jingtong shook his head: "This ...... Who is Chen Yu'an? ”

Lin Boqin looked at the crane on the envelope and said with a wry smile: "Chen Yu'an is the eldest son of Taishi Chen. Although he had never seen it, he had taken up a post in Beijing a few years ago, and he had heard that he was a first-class person in the capital.

"This threat must have been Taishi Chen's idea, you see." Lin Boqin handed the envelope to Gu Jingtong, "The picture on it is a crane, which can only be used by officials of the first rank in the DPRK." But Huo Qi is a guest envoy, and he is threatening us to arrest the murderer quickly, otherwise the black gauze hat will be difficult to protect. ”

Everyone knows that Taishi Chen values Wu Guangbi, Wu Guangbi died in Qingyuan County in vain, and it is understandable that he is so angry.

When Gu Jingtong heard this, he sighed heavily.

Yang La, who was on the side, also sighed and said, "Lord Lin, it's over, Lord Cai has received a copy of this letter." Listening to Zhao Qi, Governor Chen also received it! ”

Gu Jingtong asked, "What should I do?" ”

Lin Boqin's face sank, and he waved his hand: "What can I do, continue to arrest the lame old lady, visit around, and collect clues." ”

Gu Jingtong glanced at Chu Cheng, who was standing in the corner in a daze, and then left with Yang La.

After the people left, Lin Boqin found Chu Cheng standing there motionless, looking down at the light blue streamer around his waist, unconsciously wrapping his fingers, as if he had lost his soul.

"Li Siniang?"

He called, but Chu Cheng didn't hear it.

Lin Boqin frowned, stepped forward and knocked on the table next to him: "Li Siniang." ”

Chu Cheng came back to her senses in an instant, she let out an "ah" and asked, "Then what did Chen Yu'an say?" ”

Lin Boqin didn't expect her to ask like this, he was stunned, and showed her the threatening secret letter.

Chu Cheng looked at the familiar cursive handwriting, and pouted secretly, this Chen Yu'an, who has been writing cursive since Mi Fu's true biography, really thought he was cursive!

"Heh, who do you think you are, such a brazen threat? Even if you can't find the real murderer, is it possible that he Chen Yu'an dares to cut off your head and bury Wu Guangbi with you? ”

She hates Chen Yu'an, not for no reason.

When he was young, Chen Yu'an followed Taishi Chen to the palace, and he was not polite at all. He was five years older than Chu Cheng at that time, but he still liked to grab her pastries and sugar water to eat. Once there was a banquet in the palace and made extremely rare hibiscus honey, Chu Cheng didn't taste a mouthful, and it was all in Chen Yu'an's mouth.

Forget about robbing her of food, the most excessive, this Chen Yu'an likes to tease her!

For example, in the Imperial Garden, he would deliberately dig a pit and cover it with leaves, so that Chu Cheng would chase him, and as a result, Chu Cheng fell into the pit and broke his foot. She was only five years old at the time, but she still remembers crying and asking, "Chen Yu'an, why are you playing tricks on me?" Chen Yu'an rubbed her feet and said with a smile: "Your little short legs are chubby, and you look good when you run, but you look better when you cry, I like to see you cry." ”

"Sick! I'm going to tell my father! ”

Chu Cheng cried and cried with Empress Renxiao and Emperor Jianwu, but both of them just laughed and laughed, thinking that it was a fight between children. But God knows how angry Chu Cheng is, she can't wait to drag Chen Yu'an out and behead her! Taishi Chen taught Chen Yu'an a lesson, and asked him to copy books and take steps and so on, which made Chu Ji even more unhappy.

Even though Chen Yu'an apologized for this incident and carried her back to the dormitory for treatment, Chu Cheng has since seen him and made a detour to avoid snakes and scorpions.

As he grew older, Chen Yu'an went to Guozijian to study, and was arranged by Taishi Chen to go to the frontier for training, and he was twenty years old when he came back, and he was more stable than when he was young.

Chu Cheng still couldn't get used to him.

Later, I heard that he became the head of the five sons of the capital, and several Huaichun girls jumped into the river for him; What else did it cost a thousand taels of silver to open the first card of Yihong Mansion; accepted bribes, relied on the relationship of Taishi Chen to help people cheat in the imperial examination, and selected the worst tribute students in the thirteenth year of Jianwu, so that no one could win the top three in the palace examination.

There are so many things, Chu Cheng is annoyed when she listens to it. But I didn't expect that it was the person I hated the most, and when she became an adult, she actually asked the emperor to marry her? Her father, who 'puts everything first', happily agreed!

Angry or not? Annoyed or not?

Chu Cheng now looked at the fire paint mark of the words "Chen Yu'an" on the envelope, and she couldn't help but want to sneer.

Bullying, nepotism, and threatening magistrates, such shameless behaviors are really the style of their Chen family.

Holding the letter paper in her hand, Chu Cheng felt disgusted. She crumpled the letter and threw it backhand.

Lin Boqin was shocked by her behavior, and asked, "You hate Chen Yu'an very much?" ”

Chu Cheng felt that she had shown too much, she adjusted her mentality, and frowned at Lin Boqin: "Yes, I hate this person, he actually threatened to dismiss your official." He has the ability to check it himself, but he really doesn't know the suffering of low-level officials. In fact, she didn't know it before, but following Lin Boqin, she knew how busy and tired a conscientious petty official like him was.

Lin Boqin's heart was warm, and it was rare.

Chu Cheng asked him again, "What are you going to do?" ”

Lin Boqin said in a deep voice: "You can't solve the case in a hurry, otherwise your heart will be confused, and your thoughts will be confused." For bureaucrats like us, the misjudgment is just a shocking shot; But for others, it may be a lifetime. ”

Chu Cheng deeply felt this way, and she made up her mind in her heart to find a way to help.

***

After Chen Yu'an's threat was secretly written, Cai Gaoyi unexpectedly found Lin Boqin to criticize him, which was nothing more than asking him to quickly conclude the case.

Lin Boqin and Gu Jingtong talked badly before they persuaded Cai Gaoyi to leave.

I thought that I could have two days of leisure, but I never thought that in the afternoon, the holy decree of the capital would be delivered to the hands of Governor Chen.

The person who sent the holy decree was Huo Ying, the commander of the forbidden army, who spoke sharply, saying that the emperor ordered that the case must be solved within ten days, otherwise they would all be punished for protecting and supervising the imperial history and not being careful, and they would be degraded at least and exiled at worst, and they almost didn't scare Chen Zhifu to death.

This holy decree made everyone in Wangzhou, large and small, local officials in danger of themselves, and Cai Gaoyi was on the cusp of the storm, and he was even more trembling. On the second day, Governor Chen personally rushed to Qingyuan County, a large group of officials in Ulala, many of them were of higher grade than Lin Boqin, and it was not Lin Boqin's turn to speak.

Xiao Xuan was tied up behind her back, kneeling in the court, with a humiliated expression: "If you are complicit, judge unjust cases, and slander the innocent, can you be worthy of the words 'Mirror Hanging'?" ”

Governor Chen now has the highest power, he sat on the Eight Immortal Chair in the Qingyuan County Court, and waved his hand steadily: "The sword is yours, you were not in Qingyuan County when Lord Wu died, and no one stood up to testify against you, plus you are strong in martial arts, the murderer of Lord Wu really can't find anyone else except you." So, don't quibble! ”

"Ridiculous! How do you know that your eyes see that I am the one who does it? This sword is mine, so it must be Wu Guangbi that I killed? Xiao Su sneered.

Cai Gaoyi, who was on the side, said to Governor Chen: "Don't talk nonsense with him, let the arrow be thrown, and the sound of the wood will be patted, let him draw a charge and push it out, and cut it at the entrance of the vegetable market." ”

Although Governor Chen's Mansion is not a good taste, thinking that it took him 20 years to sit in such a Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, it is extremely difficult to get into the official career.

As soon as he was ruthless, he pulled out the arrow and wanted to throw it down the court, but as soon as he raised his wrist, he was stopped by someone.

Who is so bold?

Governor Chen turned his head to look, but it was Lin Boqin standing below, with a solemn face.

"Lord Chen, this move is inappropriate!"

Among the county officials in Wangzhou, Governor Chen is the most important Lin Boqin, and I have to say that he does govern the jurisdiction very well. Therefore, knowing that he was guilty of the following crimes, Governor Chen still said kindly: "Lord Lin, you and I both know that this case is different from the past. You have solved many unjust cases and arrested many murderers in the past, and that is because you have plenty of time. But you don't know the holy decree of the imperial court, ten days, only ten days, where do you go to find the murderer? The lame old lady you talked about, now the whole Wangzhou is almost rummaged and has not been found, I don't need me to explain the reason, you should also understand! ”

In the past, many cases were like this, and they couldn't be found in the vast sea of people, either they couldn't solve it, or they casually pushed someone out to face the crime.

It's really rare to be as serious as Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin glanced at Xiao Xu, who was once dashing, but now he was kneeling on the ground with all kinds of flowers, extremely vicissitudes.

He felt guilty, turned around and walked down the court, flirted with the hem of his official uniform, knelt with Xiao Xu, and bowed upright.

"Lord Lin......" Xiao Qi choked up.

Lin Boqin gave him a reassuring look, and then bowed his hand to the officials in the court, and said with a solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, human life is at stake, and it must not be child's play!" There are nine days left before the deadline of the Divine Decree...... In nine days, the lower officials must find the real culprit! ”

Cai Gaoyi sneered: "What if you can't find it if the deadline is exceeded?" ”

Lin Boqin's eyes were burning, his handsome face was tense, and he said word for word: "Whether it is exile or beheading, the lower officials will ask for the guilt and bear it with all their might!" ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, his heart was hot.

He didn't have a deep relationship with Lin Boqin before, because he had always subconsciously felt that the bureaucracy was too angry, but now he found that he was thinking badly.

This Lord Lin, although he can't dance knives and guns, can't walk the rivers and lakes, but he has a clean breeze and boldness, an awe-inspiring and heroic spirit, and a chivalrous righteousness!
