Chapter 47: Another Murder

"In two days, let's go to see the master, if he learns about Lang Jun, he will definitely be very happy."

"Although the master doesn't talk about it on weekdays, he is particularly concerned about Lang Jun's studies."

The young girl folded the clothes in her hands, smiling with her eyebrows.

Xu Hanliang was sitting at his desk, thinking about the plot of Journey to the West.

"Last night, the county magistrate also came over and gave thirty taels of silver, as a congratulatory gift, I couldn't push it, so I had to accept it."

Zhiniang suddenly took out a stack of silver coins from the cabinet on the side and put it in front of Xu Hanliang.

"It looks like I'm going to go to the county government again."

Looking at the silver in front of him, Xu Hanliang smiled helplessly.

Xu Hanliang's Xie Yuan did give Changshu a long face, and logically speaking, it is actually very normal for the yamen to give some money.

But Xu Hanliang didn't want to accept it, after all, he still owed the county a favor.

"However, I don't like it."

The young lady suddenly changed her words, which made Xu Hanliang a little puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Hanliang asked suspiciously.

The young lady muttered and said softly: "The county master also brought his daughter over and asked me a lot of questions, asking me if you have a sweetheart." ”

"Did you say that? I didn't. ”

Xu Hanliang turned his head and glared at the childish girl.

As soon as the young lady heard this, her mouth pursed even higher: "I said you have it, and then the county master didn't ask more." ”

"I have? How did I not know? ”

Xu Hanliang frowned and pretended to think.

Zhiniang slapped the clothes in her hand: "That's Zhiniang's mistake, Zhiniang will go to the county government for a while and explain things clearly." ”

"No, in fact, I do have a sweetheart, but how do you know?"

Xu Hanliang shook his head and asked again.

"Who is it?" The young lady raised her head cautiously and looked at Master Li in a raccoon outside the window: "It should be the teacher's girl, these days I stay with the teacher's girl, I feel that the teacher's girl really knows a lot, unlike me, I don't know a few big characters." ”

When the young lady turned her head, Xu Hanliang suddenly put a face on it.

Feeling the hot wind blowing on her face, the child's little face turned even redder.

"Who's it, you can guess."

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of Xu Hanliang's mouth.

The young lady looked at the face in front of her who was as warm as jade, and her chest was like a deer crashing.

Looking at the cute childish girl, Xu Hanliang's face was already closer.

"Xu Gongzi."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Master Li hurriedly walked in.

After seeing this scene, Master Li showed a hint of an embarrassed smile, and stroked his forehead with one hand: "Childe, the people in the yamen said that they were looking for you for something." ”

Even an old face with a thick wall like Xu Hanliang couldn't help but blush slightly.

After standing up, he nodded: "Got it." ”

Xu Hanliang came to the door of the room, and really found that several officials were already waiting at the door.

After seeing Xu Hanliang, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Lord Xie Yuan, our adults have a murder case in the mansion that is difficult to handle, you can come and take a look." ”

Xu Hanliang thought that the county government was looking for him to go over for dinner, but he didn't expect it to be for the case.

Originally, if he wanted to refuse, Xu Hanliang swallowed it back.

"Take me to see it."

Even if the matter was urgent, Xu Hanliang didn't think much about it.

The two officials were slightly stunned, thinking that they still needed to talk a little.

After all, Xu Hanliang is no longer what it used to be, and he was just a showman at the beginning.

Now that he is Lord Xie Yuan, who knows that Xu Hanliang has no shelf at all, he will leave as soon as he says.

"The sedan chair is already booked at the door."

The official nodded and said.

Xu Hanliang smiled wryly: "This is not necessary, I also have feet, you let the sedan chair man go back first, remember to give the money." ”

For this kind of enjoyment of the feudal era, Xu Hanliang still feels a little uncomfortable.

The official didn't say much, and soon let the sedan chair man leave first.

Soon everyone came to the county office, and Jiang Wen stood in the hall at this time.

It can be seen that Jiang Wen is still very anxious now.

If it weren't for the anxiety, he probably wouldn't have called Xu Hanliang.

After all, Xu Hanliang's identity is no longer the same, he is now a lifter, and he is also a new Xie Yuan.

It is somewhat inappropriate to invite such a person to come for an autopsy.

"Lord Prefectural Order."

Coming to the county order, Xu Hanliang saluted slightly.

"Xu Jieyuan, I brought you here this time, the case is really a bit confusing, and the identity of the deceased is very special, so I invited you to come."

Jiang Wen didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"Special."

Jiang Wen nodded: "The deceased is Sun Yuan, the former county magistrate of Wu County, after Zhishi, he lived in seclusion in our Changshu, and was found dead at home this morning and hanged at home. ”

"Sun Wen?"

Xu Hanliang was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this dead man was still someone he knew.

As the county governor of Wu County, my father has been for more than ten years.

Naturally, he has also experienced three county orders, and this county order is the previous county order of Wu County.

In Xu Hanliang's memory, the county magistrate was quite honest and upright.

It is precisely because of this that the cheap father has a lot of opinions about this county magistrate, after all, he can't get any oil and water from him.

But in the mouths of the people, his reputation for him is quite good.

But the most regrettable thing is that after serving as the county magistrate for a few years, he took the initiative for some reason.

Although he is a former court official, if he dies alongside, it will also be regarded as an important case.

"Things are very strange, when the Sun Yuan County Commander died, he was in the secret room, the doors and windows were locked, and there was no trace of destruction."

"At first, I decided it was suicide, but I realized something was wrong."

"There was a light rain yesterday afternoon, and there is a garden in front of Sun Yuan's mansion, and the garden is full of mud."

"According to Mrs. Sun Yuanxian Ling, because Sun Yuanxian Ling Zhishi wanted to write a book later, he lived alone, and he would go out every afternoon to play a game of chess with his old friends before returning to the place where he lived alone."

"Old friends and others also proved that he went out to play chess yesterday afternoon, but I found that the soles of Sun Yuanxian's shoes were very clean and not stained with mud, which means that he did not die in that secret room, but died elsewhere and was moved to the secret room."

Jiang Wen told the story.

After hearing these words, Xu Hanliang nodded secretly.

"In that case, you know that he killed him, why did you come to me for what to do? Go find the murderer. ”

Xu Hanliang smiled bitterly, not knowing what Jiang Wen meant.

"Actually, I also follow the map, look at the soles of the shoes, Xie Yuan, there are some in your "Record of Clearing Grievances".

"I'm curious about how this secret room murder was accomplished."

Jiang Wen said at this time.
