In Lin Qian's home, there is only a pair of elderly parents, with white frost on their temples and wrinkles all over their faces.

Lin's father and Lin's mother are washing their faces with tears at home at the moment, full of grief. They never imagined that they were about to enter the palace as the daughters of concubines, and they would die like this.

Qing Yue walked in and followed Meng Zhutou and Qi Tang. She walked in front of Father Lin and Mother Lin, and said with a heavy heart: "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, the deceased has passed away, please mourn and change!" ”

Father Lin raised his head and stared at Qing Yue's unfamiliar face, "Are you?" ”

Meng Zhutou stepped forward and said, "Uncle Lin, this is our new prefect Fang Qingyue and Master Fang of Peony Town!" ”

Father Lin and Mother Lin knelt down in fear, "The grass people see the adults!" ”

Qingyue stretched out his hand to help the couple up and said, "You don't have to make this big gift, get up!" ”

Mother Lin didn't get up, but pulled Qingyue's hand and cried: "My lord, you must find out the murderer of my daughter." My daughter died so unjustly, so unjustly—"

"Aunt Lin," in the face of others' heart-rending crying, Qingyue was always in a hurry and at a loss, "Don't be like this, this official will definitely find out the murderer, bring the murderer to justice, and give your daughter an explanation!" ”

However, Mother Lin was still crying hard, and she couldn't listen to Qingyue's words at all.

Qi Xuan walked over, helped Mother Lin with one hand, and said softly: "Aunt Lin, please believe in our adult's ability, he will do what he says, don't cry, get up first!" ”

To Qingyue's surprise, Mother Lin got up and let her wife hug her very quietly, and the chaotic scene was controlled. She smiled gratefully at Qi Xuan.

It turned out that he was a very contagious person.

Qi Xuan replied to her with a faint smile, as if to tell her that you are welcome!

Lin's mother fainted due to being too emotional, and was later helped back to the room by her husband to rest. couldn't ask them for the time being, so Qingyue went to the scene of the crime - Lin Qian's small room.

Lin Qian's room was very narrow, with only a small wooden bed and a rectangular table that had been eaten by ants. On the rectangular table, there was an oil lamp, and the rest of the things were piled up.

As a result, the room looks not only simple, but also very basic.

Qing Yue stood at the door of the room and instructed Qi Xuan and Tang Jian, "Qi Guard, you can go to the vicinity of the village to inquire about the deeds of the deceased." Doctor Tang, I also have to ask you, Zhao Xiaowen and Lin Qian are both from Nancun, inquire about their lives, what is the relationship between them, and what is the relationship! ”

The two clasped their fists and said, "Yes, my lord!" ”

After the two left the Fang family's hut, Qing Yue and Meng Zhutou entered the deceased's room.

After Qingyue observed the room for a while, Meng Zhutou came over, and he said: "My lord, the body of the deceased has been sent back to the yamen, because Lin Qizuo has reached the age of enjoying the blessings of old age, and he has left the yamen last night and went home to enjoy his old age, so the deceased has not yet been inspected, but judging from the scene, the deceased Lin Qian committed suicide, and his head hit the pillar of the wooden bed, before bleeding to death." ”

At this time, Qing Yue's gaze had already fallen on the pillar of the wooden bed. The bloodstain on the pillar told her very clearly that the dead had hit the pillar.

Meng Zhutou asked: "My lord, do you still need to do something?" ”

Qing Yue said a lazy "um" in a lazy tone, and while observing the deceased's room, he said to Meng Zhutou: "Tell this official what major circumstances you have discovered when you protected the deceased. ”

Meng Zhutou recalled, and stated, "Yesterday evening, I obeyed the arrangement of the adults and brought a group of people to Nancun to secretly surround the Fang family, so as to protect the true biography of this show girl Honghuang Huanglong. ...... since last night"

The scene goes back to last night.

Last night, after dark.

The windows of every house in Nancun are lit up.

Meng Zhutou led more than 20 people in the yamen to rush to the Lin family, and quietly surrounded the Lin family in secret.

At this time, the show girl Lin Qian was eating in the house with her parents, a family of three, eating very quietly.

Meng Zhutou was in the dark, keeping an eye on the movements of the Lin family, and at the same time paying attention to whether outsiders had entered the door of the Fang family for half a step.

Meng Zhutou's eyes did not close, and insisted that since last night to today, the Lin family is safe, and no one has ever entered the door of the Lin family for half a step, not even the people in the village.

Around noon, a miserable scream suddenly came from the house, and it was Lin Mu's voice.

Hearing the voice, Meng Zhutou led the other catchers and broke into the Lin family together.

In the small room of the Lin family, Meng Zhutou saw Lin Qian, a show girl with her head leaning against the wooden pillar and no longer breathing.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhutou said: "My lord, this is how things are, from last night to the end, everything was fine. The deceased heard about the disappearance of other show girls, and he never dared to take half a step out of the house. It has always been the parents of the deceased who have been busy working outside. Unexpectedly, under the protection of the efforts of the lowly people, the deceased still could not escape the king of Yama and was asked for his life. At that time, I only heard someone shouting in the house, and then the lowly people rushed in. ”

Qing Yue asked again: "Is there really not a suspicious person who has ever entered the Fang family?" ”

Meng Zhutou concluded: "My lord, I am very sure of the lowly position, absolutely no one from the Lin family has entered; The Lin family comes. It is estimated that the deceased was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so he chose to commit suicide! ”

"She didn't kill herself." A sentence gently came out of Qingyue's mouth, hiding sharp eyes, looking around every corner of the room. "This room tells the official that the deceased is not a suicide!"

Meng Zhutou was taken aback and asked, "How can you conclude from the scene that the deceased did not commit suicide?"

Qingyue said: "Because the official smelled a smell in this room, a very strong smell, this smell can actually hinder the official's train of thought, it must not be simple." As for what the smell is, I'll wait for Medical Officer Tang to come back and make sure. Meng Zhutou, you go and help the official do one thing first! “

Meng Zhutou said, "My lord, what's the matter? Please command! ”

Qing Yue walked out of the room, returned to the small hall and sat down, and then said: "Bring the families of the five female deceased, as well as the witnesses and suspects, back to the yamen, and the official will go back to the hall later!" ”

"The parents of the other seven missing girls need to be called to the yamen?" Only then did Meng Zhutou think of the seven show girls who had disappeared.

"No, you don't! Qingyue replied. "Just call the families of the five dead show girls to the yamen!"

Meng Zhutou bent down slightly, hugged his fists and said: "The lowly position understands, the lowly position will be done, and the lowly position will retire first!" After speaking, he stepped forward, turned around, and walked out of the Lin family.

Qing Yue waited in the small hall for Tang Jian and them for a while, and then Father Fang came up with a cup of tea, put it in front of Xiang Nan's table, and said, "My lord, you are also tired, let's have a cup of tea first!" ””

Holding the teacup, Qingyue thanked him, "Thank you!" ”

Father Lin sat down, his face full of sadness, "Alas, I can't imagine that the old man's two daughters can't escape the catastrophe of entering the palace to become concubines." It's just that the eldest daughter has an accident, but the second daughter also has an accident! ”

Qing Yue's eyes sank, and his expression became serious, "Uncle, you have two daughters?" ”

"Well, Iron Blood." Father Fang nodded, the sadness on his face made him look old, "My eldest daughter was born seventeen years earlier than my younger daughter. The eldest daughter was also elected to the palace when she was thirteen years old, but this time, she never returned, and there was no news. It wasn't until last year that I finally had news of my eldest daughter, but it was, it turned out to be that my eldest daughter had committed the crime of bullying the king, and had been fed Hedinghong and executed in the deep palace. Woo, my poor daughters......"

"Uncle," Qingyue comforted, "please rest assured, this official will definitely give you an explanation." ”

Before leaving the Lin family, Lin's father sent Qingyue to the door.

Tang Jian and Qi Xuan had already returned.

When Qing Yue left, he looked back at Father Fang and asked an inconsequential question, "Uncle, what is your eldest daughter's name?" ”

Father Lin replied: "Her name is Lin ......"

Yamen.

Back at Yamen, it was almost evening.

Qing Yue returned to the inner hall of the Yamen, Meng Zhutou had been waiting in the inner hall for a long time, and as soon as he saw Qing Yue, he immediately reported, "My lord, the things you ordered the lowly duties have been completed, do you want to send an order to go down to the hall now?" ”

Qing Yue said, "Don't worry, first listen to the news that the Qi guards and the Tang medical officer have inquired about." After finishing speaking, he looked at Qi Tang and asked, "Qi Guard, Tang Medical Officer, this official sent you two to understand the situation of the deceased Lin Qian and the deceased Zhao Xiaowen before their deaths, but there are some eyebrows?" ”

Qi Xuan said first, "The deceased Lin Qian is one of the few beauties in the South Village, and she heard from the villagers that Fang Qian is doing well, and she usually has no water-based poplar behavior, and she is even more filial to her parents. She has a gentle temperament and is very kind, according to the villagers, she is still a very timid girl, and usually she does not even dare to approach the chickens for half a step. Judging from all aspects, Lin Qian is by no means a murderer who does not blink. Dare to ask, where does a person who doesn't even dare to approach a live raw chicken have the courage to kill a living person? ”

"That makes sense," Qing Yue nodded approvingly, and his gaze fell on Tang Jian's face again, "Doctor Tang, what did you inquire about?" Lin Qian and Zhao Xiaowen are both from Nancun, do they have anything to do with each other? ”

"My lord......" Tang Jian's face was a little wrong, and he stopped talking, as if he had inquired about a major secret.

Qingyue asked: "Tang Chengzuo, why are you spitting?" ”

Tang Jian told the truth, "My lord, I learned from the villagers of Nancun that the deceased Zhao Xiaowen did not want to enter the palace as a show girl, but was coerced and lured by the deceased Fang Qian!" ”

Meng Zhutou was shocked, "Then from this point of view, isn't Zhao Xiaowen the one who was killed by Lin Qian?" ”

Qing Yue said to Tang Jian: "Be detailed! ”

Tang Jian responded, "Yes, my lord." Previously ......"

An hour ago.

Tang Jian followed Qing Yue's instructions and went to other villagers' homes to inquire about Zhao Xiaowen and Lin Qian's situation. When passing by the river at the head of the village, he saw three or five village women washing clothes in groups on the river, so he walked over and asked, "May I ask you, are you familiar with the previous deceased Zhao Xiaowen?" ”

Speaking of Zhao Xiaowen, several village women couldn't help but grind their mouths.
