The latter perked up.

I flipped through it from the beginning again, and it was exactly the same as what Yan Chenghuai said.

Liu Changping, including Mei'er, who died, were mostly displaced people who had migrated here in the past 100 years due to war.

This place is very close to the border pass, but because there was once a Lin family army guarding, so within a hundred years, no one dared to wantonly intrude.

The more Lin Nian looked at it, the more his heart sank, and in the end, he was almost speechless.

"This..."

Lin Nian gasped.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence..."Lin Nian said with difficulty, and slowly put the bamboo roll on the table.

"Coincidence?" Yan Chenghuai didn't move, "One or two or a coincidence." With so many people, how can it be summed up by the word coincidence? ”

"These people have no foundation in Fengcheng, and they have no ancestral inheritance. In a hundred years, even if it can survive, it is only two or three generations. ”

"This kind of person is better controlled..."

As soon as he changed his words, Lin Nian clearly saw the color in his eyes.

"I don't know if you've ever heard of a story about a treasure."

Lin Niannian paused, his face puzzled.

"What does this have to do with this case?"

The wolf clan has always been savage, but there are treasures too?

She thought in a trance, and Yan Chenghuai continued:

"Back then, the emperor drove his own expedition and smashed the base camp of the wolf clan. At that time, the leader of the previous generation of the wolf clan surrendered and gave the most precious treasure of the wolf clan. ”

"This thing was originally a token representing the alliance of the wolf clan in the Central Plains, and the wolf clan surrendered to our court, and this thing was used as evidence."

"But when the emperor left, there was a rebellion in the wolf clan, and this thing was also lost in the chaos, and the covenant between the wolf clan and our dynasty was also torn up, so far, the two sides are in turmoil."

Yan Chenghuai seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, and his eyes were uncertain.

Lin Niannian pursed his lips and did not speak.

Yes, she remembered that General Lin had indeed told her this story back then.

At that time, General Lin's beard was still black, and under the lanterns of the first month, General Lin's face was full of pain, but she was still young at that time, and she didn't understand the meaning of this pain.

It's just a bit of the past.

But now it seems that it is full of blood and tears.

If that thing hadn't been lost, there wouldn't have been so many battles and so many deaths.

Thinking so, she held back the surge of emotions and said strongly:

"You're saying that these people's deaths have something to do with it?"

"It's not too stupid." Yan Chenghuai bowed, "It is said that this treasure is related to the survival of the wolf clan. ”

"Back then, the wolf clan sacrificed this thing for the sake of sincerity."

"Now the wolf clan is divided into many tribes, and the new leader has not yet been selected. It is rumored that this thing is equivalent to the heirloom jade seal of our dynasty, and whoever can have it will be the new leader of the wolf clan. ”

"What do you mean, sir, that someone is looking for this thing?" Lin Niannian frowned, "It's true that this place is close to the border pass, but if they really kill people and kill people, won't it be eye-catching?" ”

"The wolf clan is treacherous..."Yan Chenghuai looked at her steadily, "Besides, this is just a guess. ”

"Depending on their personalities, it might be the same."

That's just as well. Lin Niannian closed his mouth.

But if you want to say this, this person's murder case will be more and more involved.

At the moment, the two have different thoughts.

At this time, the subordinates in Yan Chenghuai's mansion came over to communicate, saying that they had sent someone from the county magistrate and asked to see the two by name.

The county lord?

Lin Niannian suddenly thought of the words of the county master before leaving yesterday, and was suddenly shocked.

It's over, she is on duty today, she didn't return all night last night, and she didn't say hello to Lao Zhang, who went with her.

"Bring him in." Yan Chenghuai said, lowered his eyes and saw Lin Niannian's face full of vegetables, and hooked the corners of his lips in a good mood.

The person was brought in, and Lin Niannian looked at it, and his face twitched.

The road is narrow, and the person who came is Lao Zhang.

At this moment, the man was wearing an official uniform and respectfully saluted Yan Chenghuai.

When Yu Guang glanced at Lin Niannian who was standing on the side, his face was happy, and he just wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he was pulled back to his senses by Yan Chenghuai.

"What did the county lord send you for?"

Lao Zhang's expression was dazed, and then he said respectfully:

"Back to my lord, the new prefect took office, saying that it is necessary to retry the case of the tragic death of the woman in the Qinglou, please cooperate with the villain to go back and inquire about the progress of the case."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Niannian and Yan Chenghuai's faces changed.

"Alright, let's go down first, and Lord Ben will be there later."

Yan Chenghuai said perfunctorily, but Lao Zhang didn't move, looking at Lin Niannian on the side with a hesitant expression.

"Besides, my lord, the villain is here to find someone this time."

He looked at Lin Niannian, squeezed his eyebrows and motioned for her to speak, sighed, and Lin Niannian also took a step forward and said:

"My lord, the villain still has important things to do, so I will ask the adult to resign first."

"You want to go back with him?" Yan Chenghuai's voice was a little strange.

"Indeed." Lin Nian smiled bitterly, "Today is the villain's duty, and if you stay here any longer, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the adult." ”

After all, with her reputation in Fengcheng, it is not easy to stay anywhere for a long time.

"That being the case..."Yan Chenghuai muttered for a long time, "Then Lord Ben will go back with you." ”

This sentence was shocking, and Lin was speechless for a long time, and he opened his mouth.

"Big... Adults don't have to be! ”

One of the reasons she wanted to go back first was to get away from the vampire.

I didn't expect the other party to be so unpopular, and even had to go back with him.

Isn't this deliberately looking for pleasure?

And Lao Zhang on the side seemed to have a problem with his brain, his eyes turned between the two, and he just wrote the gossip on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Niannian felt tired, but there was no way, who let the other party be the little marquis from the capital, so he had to say "yes".

The three of them went back together.

The difference is that Yan Chenghuai is sitting in a sedan chair, and Lao Zhang and Lin Niannian are walking behind.

The sun in the sky is big and shining, there is still a long way to go from the official mansion, and the official uniforms on the two of them are hot and stuffy, even so, they still can't stop Lao Zhang's gossip.

"Xiaolin, what is the relationship between you and this adult?"

When the sedan chair was farther away from them, Lao Zhang leaned over and whispered, frowning.

"It's just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship." Lin Niannian frowned, not wanting to talk more.

"You're talking nonsense!" Lao Zhang's face was stunned, and he felt that Lin Niannian didn't tell the truth.

"If it's really such an ordinary relationship, you won't not come back for one night, why did you stay at Lord Yan's house this night?"

Lao Zhang's face was determined, and then he thought of his guess, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Lin, when Lao Lin entrusted you to me, one of them was to find you a good family, and now, such a big opportunity is in front of you!" ”
