Hearing Master's words, Lin Fan suddenly felt five thunderbolts, and knelt on the ground in a panic, with mixed feelings in his heart, grievances, guilt and panic, several emotions mixed together, and some mixed feelings for a while.

"Master, the disciple really knows that he is wrong, I beg the master not to drive me down the mountain, in the future, I will definitely practice martial arts with my heart and practice hard. The disciple was used to being free and casual before, and he didn't correct his bad habits for a while, so Master give me another chance, and the disciple will definitely change his ways. Lin Fan choked up and said.

"What's going on here?" Seeing Lin Fan's red eyes, Su Rong hurriedly put down the teapot, walked quickly to Lin Fan's side, and stroked the top of Lin Fan's head with her hand distressedly.

Xiaoyaozi looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and then nodded and said, "Well, knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, but when did the teacher say that he was going to drive you away?" ”

"Huh?" Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, stopped his tears in an instant, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't Master just let me go down the mountain..."

"Oh hahahaha, this way, I thought about it yesterday for the teacher, as the so-called teaching according to aptitude, Fan'er, you made rapid progress in learning at the beginning, but then you stopped moving, and you paid attention to practicing martial arts, maybe it was because the teacher trapped you in the mountains, so that you kept practicing martial arts, and suppressed your nature. Your personality is quite similar to your second senior brother Jiang Yun, both of them are out-of-the-box, maybe let you go out for a walk and soothe your mood, so that you can be more refined on the road of martial arts. It just so happened that there was a shortage of ingredients on the mountain, and your senior brothers were not there, and your senior sister was entangled in chores and couldn't leave, so she thought that you would take Yinliang and go to Guyu Village near the bottom of the mountain to buy some ingredients and come back. Xiaoyaozi explained.

"Really, Master, you can make it clear, you see that the little junior brother is scared." Su Rong said softly helplessly, and then Lin Fan helped him up. Hearing the master's explanation, Lin Fan turned his sadness into joy, got up and bowed his hand to Xiaoyaozi: "Yes, disciple, go down the mountain and promise to complete the task!" As he spoke, he took the silver taels from Xiaoyaozi's hand, and turned away with joy.

Su Rong was not worried about Lin Fan in her heart, so she walked out of the door, comforted him for a long time, and told him the detailed route by the way, and sent Lin Fan to the bottom of the mountain with thousands of instructions. Lin Fan was taken up the mountain in a coma before, and when he came down the mountain for the first time, he suddenly felt that the surroundings were strange and fresh, waved goodbye to Su Rong, and then set off towards Guyu Village.

Two days later, Lin Fan arrived at Guyu Village, and he breathed a sigh of relief, because of the unfamiliar environment, this way did not take the wrong road, and the life of sleeping in the wild hunting for food made him really a little unbearable as a modern person.

However, after arriving at Guyu Village, he found that there was a famine in this village, and there was no surplus grain to resell to him, and he couldn't think of the first task of going down the mountain, which would end in failure.

After hearing this, they said that the village had just experienced a famine, and now the prices were surprisingly high, and the silver taels in Lin Fan's hand could not buy much grain. But just now there was a murder case in the village, I want to ask him to help solve the case, after the matter is completed, I must vigorously make a name for Xiaoyao Valley and Lin Fan, and give him a certain reward, so that Lin Fan can go back to pay the errand, and the provincial matter is not done and is blamed by the teacher. Lin Fan thought about it and felt that it was also a way, so he readily agreed.

learned from the official messenger that at noon today, the rich man Wang was dining at home, but he was poisoned at home, the relevant personnel have been controlled, and the rich man's home has also been blocked, and then Lin Fan followed the official to the scene of the crime. There are three people involved in the case, namely the housekeeper of the rich man's family, the cook and the servants in the house.

"Strange, is there only one servant in the huge courtyard?" Lin Fan asked strangely.

"That's not it, the rich man's wife died early, and he also has a son named Wang Tianming, who went out to play yesterday and has not returned, and when he left, the rich man Wang couldn't rest assured that his son was gone, so he let the rest of the people go with him." The official explained.

"Do this rich man have enemies with his son? Is it possible that an outsider did it? Lin Fan asked.

The official said with a wry smile: "Their father and son's reputation in the village is not very good, if you want to talk about the enemy, it will be too much." ”

"That's right." Lin Fan nodded, and then began to examine the corpse, he found that the deceased's lips and gums were black, his seven orifices were bleeding and his face was hideous, and there were no other wounds on his body, which was obviously poisoned.

"This big brother, what kind of poison did the deceased die from?" After Lin Fan finished inspecting the corpse, he asked the servant next to him who was inspecting the food.

"Obviously arsenic. Frost is poisonous, and meals also contain arsenic. The ingredients of the cream, in addition, I checked, the cook's fingers are a little swollen. The skin is broken, and there is a faint amount of arsenic remaining. Frost taste, what else is there to check about this? The rice is made by the cook, just arrest the cook. He said confidently.

"As the saying goes, it is clear that the murderer is not the murderer, and the eldest brother will assert it now, is it a little too early? What if someone else poisoned and deliberately framed the cook? Lin Fan dissuaded.

"Then you will investigate, I am only responsible for the autopsy and help you investigate the scene, and I don't care about the rest." The preoccupation was refuted by Lin Fan, and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you arrest the relevant personnel and put them in the first instance of the county government trial?" Accompanied by the official messenger, Lin Fan walked out of the dining room of the rich man's house, and asked as he walked.

"Harm, the people involved are all private slaves who have signed a deed of sale, the rich man is dead before his son comes back to speak, we can't take people away and dispose of them at will, otherwise they will be brought to the county government and punished them, this case has already been solved, where to use the young man to help." The official complained.

"Okay, let me meet these suspects first." Lin Fan nodded and said.

The official took Lin Fan into a side room in the courtyard and saw the housekeeper, the cook and the servants waiting here. The official pointed at Lin Fan and said to the three of them: "Listen, this is the master disciple of Xiaoyao Valley, Lin Fan Shaoxia!" You explain the situation and Lin Shaoxia carefully, who is the real murderer and who is wronged, Lin Shaoxia decides. ”

Lin Fan glanced at the three people, the housekeeper and the servant were all about thirty or forty years old, and the cook lady looked not very old, with a thin and small figure, with a young face, and a mouth showing two small tiger teeth, which was very cute.

"Brother Guancha, how many pharmacies are there in Guyu Village?" Lin Fan found a seat and sat down, and then asked.

"There is only one pharmacy in our small village, but Shaoxia wants to buy medicine?" The official errand was a little confused by Lin Fan's sudden question.

Lin Fan pursed his lips and said helplessly: "Why am I buying medicine, do you think, since the murderer used arsenic. The frost poisoned the rich man of the king, and the arsenic. Where does the frost come from? I must have bought it from a pharmacy, so I summoned the people from the pharmacy and asked who had bought arsenic recently. Frost, don't you know who the murderer is? Brother Lao went to ask the pharmacy shopkeeper, and I stayed here to try the three of them. Saying that, Lin Fan secretly glanced at the expressions of the three people, and the strange thing was that when they heard Lin Fan propose to invite the shopkeeper of the pharmacy to come over, no one showed a panicked look.

"It's really a fan of the authorities, why didn't we think of this layer, just thinking about how to pry their mouths open, just when we went out to visit, we saw that the shopkeeper Liu happened to be in the shop, and I will go and invite him over now to see if he can identify the murderer."

Seeing that the official errand turned to leave, Lin Fan said slowly: "Come on, tell me about your situation, tell me in detail, what did you do at any time today, come one by one." ”

"I'll say it first, I'll say it first! Lin Shaoxia, I was wronged, it's none of my business if the master dies! Today I went out at two o'clock in the morning, went around the village, bought some fresh ingredients at a high price, returned to the house and handed over the ingredients to the cook, and then went to the master's room and told the master to get up. At two o'clock I went out again to help the master collect the accounts, and I was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon before returning, and then when the cook had prepared the meal, I waited for the master to eat, and reported the collection of accounts by the way. When I arrived, the old man suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, I hurriedly stepped forward to help the master, but found that the old man was bleeding from seven holes, it seemed that he was poisoned and died, I exclaimed, and then thought that there was a problem with the food, so I rushed out to control the cook, and then arranged for the servant to report to the official. The murderer must be the cook, only she has the opportunity to do something in the meal, last night the master was drunk and violated her, she must want to take revenge..."

"Butler, you don't have enough blood! It's clear that you are secretly stealing the master's money, and seeing that the master seems to be aware, he poisoned the ingredients, wanting to poison the master, and by the way, he planted the blame for me, if I want to harm the master, why do I use the means of poisoning the food, so my suspicion is not the greatest? The cook interrupted the butler angrily and opened her mouth to argue.

"You're talking nonsense, I've been here for half my life, how can you steal my lord's money?"

"Don't make any noise!" Lin Fan slapped the table suddenly, interrupting the argument between the two, and then looked at the cook uncertainly and asked, "Girl, how old are you this year?" ”

"I... I'm thirteen years old. The cook replied honestly.

A baker's dozen? No wonder she looks so small, the corners of Lin Fan's eyes twitched, this girl is still a child, this rich man is simply a beast!

Lin Fan suppressed the anger in his heart and said softly: "Little sister, it's not that I intend to expose your scars, but I want to help you get rid of suspicion, I have to ask clearly, what the housekeeper said about last night is true?" ”

The cook wanted to speak and stopped, opened her mouth several times to answer, but she couldn't make a sound, tears came out of her eyes, she gritted her teeth desperately, didn't let herself cry out of the voice, and nodded tearfully.

"Girl, don't cry first, theoretically you do have a motive to commit the crime, what did you do today, tell me in detail, I'll help you find an alibi, phew, no, I'll help you clear your suspicion." Lin Fan saw the cook crying, panicked for a while, and said incoherently.
