"What can I help you see?" Lin Shuran didn't know what to do, but when he saw Xu Mingfan's serious look, and he quickly asked people to get the evidence he said, which turned out to be a blood-stained long sword.

Then, Xu Mingfan told her that a few days ago, there was a life lawsuit in Ningyang County, a local rich family and a foreigner temporarily living in Ningyang County had a dispute over a mountainous area, and the second brother of the rich family was found dead in the mountains, and the murder weapon that killed him was the long sword in front of him, and the owner of the long sword was the stranger.

"Mother, do you know this long sword?" Xu Mingfan brought the long sword closer to Lin Shuran, so that she could see the appearance of the sword and the pattern on it, only to see that the hilt of the sword was engraved with an open folding fan-like pattern, and there were short tassels at the lower end of the folding fan.

"I don't know this sword, but I am familiar with this pattern on it, it looks like the mark of my maternal ancestor Wenjia, you turn the fan upside down, and it looks like a 'Wen' character from a distance." Lin Shuran took a closer look and said to Xu Mingfan.

Xu Mingfan was still suspicious before, but now that he heard Lin Shuran say the same, he was a little sure that the owner of this long sword might really have something to do with the Wen family, although the evidence in his hand now showed that the owner of this long sword was a murderer, but he had doubts about it, because these evidences seemed to have been deliberately sent to him, and that rich man was not a good person in the local area.

"Mother, the owner of this long sword is suspected of murder, and now he is being detained by me in the prison of the county government, I asked him about his hometown, he didn't know anything, and most importantly, his face!" That person's appearance is the most shocking place in Xu Mingfan's heart, originally he was going to write a letter to the capital to confirm, but now that Lin Shuran happened to be here, maybe he could ask her to confirm.

What is there about this face that Xu Mingfan is so surprised about? However, when Xu Mingfan took Lin Shuran to the prison and saw the foreigner, she understood the unfinished meaning of Xu Mingfan's words, and the gray-haired and long-haired man in front of her was very similar to her eldest uncle Wen Shangqing and third uncle Wen Shangsheng.

"This-" Lin Shuran looked at this person with a shocked expression, and the person just looked at himself with an unfamiliar look, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Mother, do you think he looks like him, do you think he will be the second uncle?" Xu Mingfan stood beside Lin Shuran and asked in a low voice.

Lin Shuran is not sure, because her second uncle Wen Shangyu left the Wen family at the age of eighteen, and there has been no news until now, and the family thinks that he is no longer in the world, but now this person looks similar to her eldest uncle and third uncle, and there is a long sword representing the mark of the Wen family in his hand, could it be her second uncle?

"My lord, there is a son surnamed Wu outside who is anxious to see him, and he said that he is from Biyue Villa!" At this time, a famous official came to Xu Mingfan's side and said.

As soon as Lin Shuran heard that the surname Wu was still from Biyue Villa, he immediately thought of Wu Lang, and Xu Mingfan would also come over, and then let Lin Shuran sit at the screen in the back hall, and he went to see the son surnamed Wu.

In the back hall, Wu Lang stood there with a anxious face, and saw a young man about the same age as himself appear shortly after the official errand left, so he stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask when the county master will come out?" ”

Xu Mingfan first looked Wu Lang up and down carefully, and there was a flash of excitement in his eyes, Lin Shuran was right, the person in front of him also made him feel very familiar, and he was really similar to Xu Mingyuan, but he quickly calmed down and told Wu Lang that he was the county magistrate of this county.

Wu Lang was very surprised, he didn't expect that the county magistrate of Ningyang County would be so young, and he was elegant and handsome, with an extraordinary temperament, and at first glance he was a child of a big family.

So he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, saying that he was here for Wu Ming, who was imprisoned in the prison by Xu Mingfan, that person was his master, and he had just learned that his master had been framed in prison, and hoped that Xu Mingfan could let him meet Wu Ming.

Xu Mingfan didn't expect that Wu Lang and Wu Ming turned out to be a master-apprentice relationship, and Lin Shuran behind the screen was even more surprised, and the fifth uncle and Honggu had just left not long ago, and it seemed that they missed Wu Lang who came to Ningyang County halfway.

Xu Mingfan did not let Wu Lang meet with Wu Ming immediately, but said that the case was being solved, and when the case was tried in the two heavens, he could meet with Wu Ming in the lobby, and told him that Wu Ming was only temporarily suspected, and he could not be finally determined to be the murderer.

Wu Lang understood that there were many rules for these officials, and he didn't force it, and when he saw that Xu Mingfan didn't allow it, he turned around and left, saying that he would definitely find out the truth of this matter.

Lin Shuran walked out from behind the screen, looked at the back of Wu Lang who left in a hurry and fell into deep thought, that night, Xu Mingfan was still asleep, and suddenly the door was kicked open, and then someone broke in, carrying a person on his shoulder, and then he entered the house and threw people into his room.

"Xu County Order, this person has taken the initiative to admit that he killed the person, in order to encroach on the family property, he killed his own brother, and blamed my master, now you can let my master go." Wu Lang stepped on the man who was tied up and gagged on the ground, looked at Xu Mingfan in a middle coat and said loudly.

Xu Mingfan glanced at the grandson of the rich family in the county who was beaten on the ground and couldn't recognize his face, that is, he said that Wu Ming killed his younger brother, and then asked Wu Ming to be sent to the county government, although he also suspected that the grandson directed and acted by himself, and he was also looking for evidence, but tying people here like Wu Lang is suspected of being beaten into a trick.

Sure enough, when Sun Dai saw Xu Mingfan's county order, he struggled to ask him for help, and when the official came in and took off the stinky socks stuffed in Sun Dai's mouth, he immediately changed his face and looked at Wu Lang viciously and scolded him, and asked Xu Mingfan to arrest Wu Lang and scold him for hurting people and trespassing in private houses, and to severely punish this person.

Wu Lang didn't expect Sun Dai to turn his face and not admit his evil deeds, and bite himself back, and he was about to use force again, but he was stopped by Xu Mingfan, this is the county government, he is the county order, and it is a place where the law is strict, how can he allow others to be presumptuous.

So, Xu Mingfan simply put both of them in prison, but fortunately, Wu Lang did not resist fiercely, he took the initiative to ask to be locked up with Wu Ming.

"Brother Fan, what are you going to do now?" Lin Shuran was a little worried about Wu Lang and Wu Ming, although she was in a mess now, she didn't panic, things always had to be confirmed one by one, but she had a hunch that things might really be as she guessed.

Xu Mingfan replied confidently: "I have my own opinions on this matter, as long as my mother waits with peace of mind!" ”

Xu Mingfan immediately posted a notice, and the people who were wronged by the Sun family can go directly to the county government to complain, and the master in the county government will write a letter for free, and those who take the initiative to provide evidence will also be rewarded by the county government, and at the same time, let people secretly investigate the crimes of the grandson.
