The morning sun shines on the wall of the West City Gate.

Lin Cheng led the horse, passed through the Xingzifang Market, and walked through the streets and alleys.

With a piece of oil and hemp cake in his mouth, he drove to a dilapidated alley.

There is a small courtyard ruins at the end of the alley, which is the old courtyard where Huang Xuan's family lived at the beginning.

Lin Cheng walked into it and looked left and right.

This is not the first time he has come to the field for a field trip, plus this time, it has been seven or eight times, probably more than the Xunyang Grottoes at the tip of the twin peaks.

Inside the ruins, Lin Cheng squatted down from time to time.

His fingers twisted a piece of porcelain from a broken bowl.

There are still faint remnants of dried white porridge on the porcelain tiles.

Lin Cheng nibbled on the cake while looking at the porridge traces on the porcelain slices.

What happened in this small courtyard that day, the ins and outs, Rong Zhen later wrote a complete case file during the period of recuperation from serious injuries.

Lin Cheng had already memorized the melons well.

According to the case file, the little girl named Huang Xuan at that time took the opportunity of serving porridge to Ouyang Lianghan and took out a crude short dagger and stabbed Ouyang Lianghan.

Because Huang Xuan was willing to take out her innocent eyes and cooperate with Rong Zhen to set up a formation to search for the owner of the butterfly love flower, Rong Zhen, Yan Zhang and others did not punish Huang Xuan at that time, put aside the controversy, and somewhat shielded her, and instead let Ouyang Lianghan leave to heal.

According to Huang Xuan's words recalled by Rong Zhen afterwards, it can be seen that the reason why the little girl hates Ouyang Lianghan so much seems to be because Ouyang Lianghan attaches too much importance to the reputation of a righteous man and a gentleman and the collective interests of the so-called hardworking people in Xingzifang, so that she and Daddy can't get the "small gift" from the wealthy Yangzhou merchants.

From this point of view, Ouyang Lianghan is not grateful, Huang Xuan is not grateful, maybe her father is more mature and knows how to be self-sufficient and grateful, but as a child, it is likely that she is because she missed out on the big mansion and the rich life, so she is resentful, and she is angry and angry.

As for why he hated Ouyang Lianghan, Lin Cheng and Rong Zhen before him both went to ask Huang Feihong in person afterwards.

According to what this bearded man swore by at the beginning, he was in Xunyang Tower for the sake of his reputation and strongly rejected Pei Shisanniang's kindness, but he didn't expect that Xiaoxuan, who was silent at the time, would be so troubled in his heart.

"Will you take revenge, you are young, you really have such a scheming ......"

Lin Cheng muttered to himself.

In fact, according to this logic, there are two weak links that are slightly difficult to explain.

First of all, when Huang Xuan first met Rong Zhen, why did he help Rong Zhen in the name of trusting Engong and trusting his friend?

Did you start pretending at that time? Was he afraid that Rong Zhen and Ouyang Lianghan had a good relationship, so he took advantage of the trend?

Secondly, how dare Huang Xuan assassinate Ouyang Lianghan, she is a little girl in the slums, doesn't she know the power of a governor?

Or is it because Rong Zhen and Yan Zhang need her that she is so arrogant and not afraid of the consequences?

Lin Cheng faced the morning sun, finished eating the cake, put down the porcelain, and clapped his hands calmly.

"It's not that it can't be explained."

He muttered, stood up, and paced up the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of thought.

Combined with the follow-up, Huang Xuan's behavior of leaving with the Taoist priest of the Shangqing Sect shows that this little girl is aware of the value of her eyes, and she also has a lot of ambitions for qi refining.

She should have known that she was a sweetheart with innocent eyes, and the talent was probably told to her by the little ink spirit.

And when the formation was set up, Yan Zhang and Lian Qing's attitude towards her was also tolerant and wooing, and Rong Zhen also promised to recommend her to join Si Tianjian.

These should gradually give this little girl a lot of confidence.

And after Ouyang Lianghan arrived at that time, according to Rong Zhen, there were some contradictions with the male history Yan Zhang, and Ouyang Lianghan, who was a long history, had no way to take Yan Zhang.

Looking back now, the contradictory scene between Ouyang Lianghan and Yan Zhang, and the weak position of the local officials in front of Si Tianjian Qi Cultivator, is likely to make Huang Xuan emboldened, lose his filter to Ouyang Lianghan, and despise and become arrogant.

As a result, the resentment that had been cautious before was naturally not hidden, so with the help of the moment when Rong Zhen, Yan Zhang, and Lian Qing all needed her, they did something to take revenge.

This backward extrapolation makes logical sense, but ......

"The personality of this girl seems to be a little different from what the neighbors in this hospital described."

Lin Cheng frowned slightly.

"Doesn't it mean that you are kind-hearted and reciprocate your kindness......"

After a pause, he nodded slowly:

"However, the stewards at Hanleimo Shop said that she was reserved, thoughtful, cunning, and good at pleasing nobles......

In addition, that Huang Feihong didn't seem surprised that Huang Xuan stabbed Ouyang Lianghan, but apologized on his behalf, is it the father of the daughter Mo Ruo, or is it ...... Acting? ”

Lin Cheng walked around the yard.

The corners of his mouth are facing down, and his eyes are squinted and he is silent.

The whole chain of logic makes sense.

But...... He didn't really like the paradoxical sense of reasoning.

Because many of them seem to be trivial links, they have to rely on him to make up the behavioral logic for the parties' brains later.

Lin Cheng remembered that the teacher said that sometimes, people who are too smart are not suitable for investigating cases.

Because it is easy to be smart but is mistaken by cleverness.

Smart people naturally think of others as being as smart as themselves, and find logic for them to fill in.

Reasoning may require logic, but reality sometimes doesn't need logic.

The same is true at the moment, the person concerned, Huang Xuan, can't be found, and the details of this woman are not clear, and Lin Cheng has nowhere to verify many details, so he can only roughly deduce a plausible.

A real detective needs a keen sense of smell and a mysterious intuition.

And Lin Cheng's intuition was that in the entire old courtyard incident, Huang Xuan's assassination of Ouyang Lianghan seemed a little abrupt.

However, it was only abrupt, Huang Xuan's assassination of Ouyang Lianghan was not the most important thing in the whole incident, and the importance level in Lin Cheng's heart was actually not high, because there were many other important directions.

For example, the little ink spirit is suspected of having a connection with the owner of the butterfly love flower, and for another example, the owner of the butterfly love flower is actually an amazing poet and has such a vast literary atmosphere...... Wait a minute.

Mainly based on Lin Cheng's past experience, sometimes the clues are often hidden in the details, maybe Huang Xuan's assassination of Ouyang Lianghan is the clue to solve the case?

After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Cheng shook his head and temporarily put down the abruptness here.

However, compared with this abrupt trivial matter that is suspected of being a personal vendetta, there is one more thing that is worth scrutinizing.

Lin Cheng stood up, walked out of the courtyard gate, and looked left and right.

"How the hell did this butterfly flower owner find here?"

His gaze slowly rested on the eaves of the Chengtian Temple not far away.

"Yuan Huaimin, a person from Chang'an, a member of Jingzhaoyuan's family...... Degraded Jiangzhou Sima ......"

Half an hour later, inside the Chengtian Temple.

In a guest house with the door half-hidden, Lin Cheng saw Yuan Huaimin who had just taken a nap.

"Yuan Sima, the contemptible Lin Cheng, Si Tianjian Xia Guan Lingtailang, were ordered to investigate the Jiangzhou murder case...... There is a lot of annoyance. ”

"Hmm, Lin Lingtailang good afternoon, please sit down, sit casually, you're welcome."

Yuan Huaimin got up in a daze and casually pointed to the courtyard where there was actually no resting stool.

Lin Cheng asked with a calm face:

"Lord Yuan is a child of a family, and he is a state Sima, why do you live in this Xingzifang, or this kind of cheap guest house in the temple?"

Yuan Huaimin thought about it and asked rhetorically:

"Lin Lingtailang, you Si Tianjian don't need to be born early, right?"

"No, you don't." Lin Cheng shook his head.

Yuan Huaimin looked envious:

"Why don't we change our official positions, and you will be the Sima of Jiangzhou? How about letting me go down and be a Lingtailang? ”

"No." Lin Cheng shook his head: "Isn't Sima Jiangzhou also an official, is it so unbearable?" Don't...... Want to take care of the stable? ”

Yuan Huaimin showed regret:

"Sima's position is quite idle, but the premise is that he has to be a good official...... Ahem, it's not that Brother Lianghan is not good, the main thing is ...... It's Brother Lianghan who is too strict, in his words, it's a small roll, and this little roll doesn't know when it's a head.

"Jiangzhou Sima's salary is actually not low, and occasionally you can go to Xunyang Tower to find Qin and everyone to listen to a pipa song, provided that you don't get detained every day."

His face was embarrassed, and he recalled that he had been:

"I think about the time when Brother Lianghan didn't come to be a long history, he was much more moisturized than now, I remember the first time I went to Jiangzhou, I went to the duty in the morning, and I arrived an hour late in the next time, and I found that it was the earliest, and I felt that I came to the right place, who is this Jiangzhou Sima She, but now...... Hugh, Hugh Ti Hugh. ”

After saying that, Yuan Huai looked up at the sky, his face suddenly became happy, turned around and ran back to the house, packed his things, and prepared to go out.

At the same time, he politely rushed to the people:

"If Lin Lingtailang is fine, please go back, I'm going to go out next, can you go to Xunyangfang, we can also go on the same road."

Lin Cheng looked at Yuan Huaimin, who was about to go out with some curiosity:

"Where is Yuan Sima going?"

"The time has come, it's time to go to Brother Lianghan's house for dinner, once every three days, hey, if you're not embarrassed, I'll go every day."

Lin Cheng wanted to speak and stopped.

When Yuan Huaimin saw it, he immediately said with a vigilant face:

"Lin Lingtailang, I can't bring anyone over below."

“……？” Lin Cheng.

"Lin Lingtailang doesn't know, Brother Lianghan is okay to say, but his fierce aunt is very strict, and when she eats a meal every three days, she will be subjected to a meal of verbal violence at the dinner table, all of which are openly ridiculed and sarcastic, with guns and sticks, and he has to swallow his anger, which is really insulting."

He sighed and slapped his palm:

"Hey, if it weren't for that good table, how could the eldest husband tolerate this humiliation! Forget it, this kind of unruly woman from the countryside still doesn't know her like her, who makes her cook deliciously.

"Lin Lingtailang looks like a good man, don't be angry with this bird, hey, go back and go back, let me go down to this fire pit."

Lin Cheng frowned and looked at Yuan Huaimin, who was righteous, and suddenly asked:

"I heard that Yuan Sima is a poet, and he used to be a famous talent in Chang'an."

Yuan Huaimin pounded garlic and nodded: "Absolutely, absolutely, but now it's important to eat, and retire first......"

Lin Cheng interrupted: "Why don't you write it now?" ”

"It's not a sow giving birth, how can it be so productive."

"Reason."

"Is this still in charge of your Heavenly Supervisor?"

Lin Cheng was indifferent: "Then please hand over a Mobao, you need to investigate the case." ”

Yuan Huaimin hesitated and asked, "Is it okay to paint?" There is a picture of Dongmei shy. ”

"Yes."

Yuan Huaimin turned his head back to the house, hurriedly rolled up a picture scroll, and stuffed it into Lin Cheng's hand.

Lin Cheng put away the scroll and suddenly asked:

"Does Ouyang Changshi often come to you to enjoy the piano?"

Yuan Huaimin was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes." What's wrong. ”

"As Sima, you should know about the case of Huang Xuan's family, on the day of the accident, did Ouyang Lianghan make an appointment to come to you."

"We usually don't make an appointment at a specific time, but he's busy and comes when he's free. That day, under the home. ”

"Okay, got it."

Lin Cheng walked out of the courtyard, and he didn't leave immediately.

Standing in the dark, watching the back of Yuan Huaimin hurrying to catch a meal go away.

Turning around, he drove to a lake in the temple.

These days, he often comes.

Lin Cheng stood on the shore and silently looked at the pavilion in the center of the lake.

This temple and this lake are located in the most central location of Xingzifang.

It is rumored that the stars fell from the sky and fell in the lake.

After being regarded as auspicious, the people of Xunyang gathered around the water, and the surrounding area gradually became prosperous.

Later, this workshop was also named Xingzifang by the county guard of Xunyang County in the early Han Dynasty......

"Xingzi Lake...... Xingzi ...... What a good name...... Avoiding the moon and picking up the stars...... Avoiding the moon and picking up the stars......"

I don't know how long it took, Lin Cheng's figure disappeared by the lake.

On the way back, Lin Cheng went to the ruins of the old courtyard again, turned around, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and left the courtyard.

He calmly walked out of the alley where the old courtyard was located, and when he passed by a large mansion at the entrance of the alley, he suddenly stopped.

"Clean up, move out, wait for the buyer to come back and check, don't neglect the ...... of the guests"

A woman's condescending and indifferent voice sounded faintly in the courtyard.

"Yes, Thirteen Niang." The little people commanded yes.

Lin Cheng was quiet for a while, looked at the high wall of the house, and walked around to the main entrance of the big mansion.

I saw that at the gate, there were many slaves carrying furniture.

Lin Cheng, who was dressed in a gray low-key soap suit, covered the golden lacquer token of Si Tianjian around his waist, and walked into the crowd with a calm face.

He walked into the house against the flow of people, and the servants around him did not notice him for a while.

Lin Cheng stopped not far from the hall of the mansion and raised his eyelids.

I saw that there was a noble lady wearing a purple golden lotus silk in the hall.

She raised her eyebrows coldly, and the tone of the messenger was quite heavy, as if she was in a bad mood.
