Yin Lian, who came to report it, thought that Long Jun would probably ask him to send someone to deal with it, but at this moment, his voice was obviously filled with anger and horror.

As a result, the weather in the skies over a considerable area of the North Sea has become worse, and it has caused heavy rain on the sea and land.

Later that day, Guan Xinrui, who had had dinner, was sorting out files and writing documents in the study room of the county government's official residence, next to the county government's clerks and errands assisting.

A murder case naturally can't be ended so quickly, the file can be sorted out first, the document can be written first, the key is that the matter of offering treasure dragon scales cannot be delayed.

It was written, and Guan Xinrui looked at the errand officer standing aside.

"Then what objection does Fu Changyu have?"

The messenger hastened to answer.

"It's also a soft bone, he has suffered a hard meal, how dare he have any objections, and he is even more afraid that we will really list him as a murderer, so he just wants to leave Haiyu County as soon as possible."

Guan Xinrui glanced at the errand officer.

"What's wrong with soft bones, in other words, it is to know the current affairs and avoid the pain of flesh and skin, since he knows him so well, he will entertain him."

"Yes! So when did you release him? ”

Guan Xinrui smiled.

"It's only been two days, so I told him that the county is still chasing the culprit, and for the sake of his safety, it is inconvenient to let him go, and I will talk about it in ten days."

The messenger smiled and nodded.

"Little one got it!"

The actual situation is that except for the county government office, which is much more heavily guarded, the rest of the city should be whatever it should be, of course, even the so-called security of the county government is only relative, and it is still a void in the eyes of some people.

The scribes on the side watched their noses and noses without saying a word.

Guan Xinrui finished writing the last few words, frowned again after checking them, and then used a pen to draw two long lines on the document he had just written, forming a cross, which is equivalent to the invalidation of the document.

"My lord, this. Why is that? ”

"It's nothing, you guys go down, and the official will sort out his thoughts."

The scribe and the servant glanced at each other, then saluted together, and were ordered to exit the study, where the heavy rain outside was "booming", and occasionally there would be a flash of thunder, and a few distant thunders sounded.

Guan Xinrui was the only one left in the study, he opened a wooden box on the bookcase, untied the black cloth, admired the beautiful scales inside, and then turned his mind to pick up the pen again.

This document is not as simple as a slight revision of the previous cross-out document, so it can be said that it has nothing to do with it.

"Obtained from the murder" directly became "auspicious in the sea".

It is still considered the fishermen's income, and the dragon scales have inadvertently arrived at the county office, and the murder case is not mentioned at all.

Guan Xinrui's expression was calm with a hint of a smile, what kind of murder is written in the upper paperwork, the top will not care, but it will add to the filth.

This time, there is no need to ask the errand against the file, Guan Xinrui wrote much faster, and after a while, an article was completed like a cloud, and he gently blew and pressed the paperweight on the corner of the table to dry the ink, Guan Xinrui was very satisfied.

It was also at this time that a servant came in a hurry from outside.

"My lord, my lord—the man who went to sea has returned—"

The official ran without an umbrella all the way, although there was a corridor to shelter from the rain, but he couldn't help but get drenched in an unsheltered place, and ran to the study while shouting, and Guan Xinrui couldn't help but stand up.

"Where? What is the result? ”

"It's time to go to the front hall of the yamen, and the lord has instructed me to report the news as soon as possible, so I came here before I had time to ask!"

Guan Xinrui nodded.

"You wait for me at the door first, and I'll clean up."

Seeing the servants go out, Guan Xinrui put away the dragon scales and hid the wooden box, and then went out.

The official picked up the umbrella at the door and opened it, shielded Guan Xinrui from the rain, and walked quickly with him to the front.

In the front hall of the yamen, a team of officials was dripping with water, and more people were helping on the side, some were busy bringing cloth towels, and some were helping to undress.

"I said you guys really don't want to die, go to sea in this weather??" "yes, and you don't know how to hold an umbrella and wear a robe?"

"This sea, never again! Hiss freezes me to death."

"Ahh Ahh

The clothes on the officials seemed to be attached together, and they looked very heavy, and it was not easy to take them off by themselves, and some people kept shivering.

"Alas, here comes my lordship!"

Guan Xinrui came, and one of the messengers led by him hurriedly straightened up, and he was the only one who did not take off his clothes immediately, in order to report in front of the county order.

And the current appearance of colleagues in the lobby of the yamen was also discussed when they returned.

Guan Xinrui entered the front hall, and when he saw this scene, he was slightly stunned, one by one as if he was fished out of the water.

"It's hard work, you've worked hard, I don't know what the result of going to sea this time is?"

The leading messenger hurried forward.

"My lord, we have been fishing for a long time in the location pointed by the fishermen and have found nothing, let alone dragon scales, not even a few fish, the fishermen in the village all say that the dragon king is angry today, plus the weather is getting worse and worse, and the sea is becoming more and more dangerous. We, we're coming back quickly."

Guan Xinrui looked at the situation of these errand officials, although they were not fishermen, they could also imagine some situations, and knew that this kind of weather was indeed dangerous at sea.

"Then Li Laosan's family has been investigated, are there any dragon scales left?"

The messenger nodded.

"After the search, I didn't find anything, and I also told the people of Bailang Village that if anyone catches dragon scales, they need to be handed over to the county government, and if they sell them privately, they will be detained!"

"Hmm"

Guan Xinrui looked at the errand servants around him, and then looked at the others.

"Alright, change your clothes and take them to warm up."

As he spoke, Guan Xinrui handed out a small ingot of silver, which could be regarded as a private reward, and the errand on the side hurriedly took it.

"Thank you, sir."

"Work hard, and this official will not be treated badly!"

"Yes, yes, little one understands!"

At this moment, outside the official residence behind the county office, outside the study of the county order, a figure turned over and fell in the rain, looked around and then immediately opened the study, and closed it immediately after entering.

This person is the murderer of the murder, he actually hadn't seen dragon scales when the crime happened, but when he saw Guan Xinrui and Liu Yuanwai admiring the dragon scales the night before, the scene he saw lingered in his heart.

The man didn't want to take the dragon scales with him, but he couldn't help but want to take another look, as if there were more magical secrets in the brilliance of the dragon scales.

This person passed by the bookcase, couldn't help but glance at the documents on the table a few more times, and then read them roughly, and couldn't help but smile on his masked face.

This county order is written in such a way that it seems that the murder case is not going to be investigated.

The man no longer paid much attention to the paperwork on the table, but began to rummage carefully in the study, but he did not find it in a hurry, but soon heard the sound of footsteps, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

Coming back so soon?

After hesitating, the man had to jump lightly onto the beam.

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open, but it was not Guan Xinrui who came in, but Mrs. Guan and her personal maid.

"Madam, the master is not in the study."

Mrs. Guan walked in with the maid, but the former noticed the wet footprints on the ground, and thought that someone must have come in from outside and called her husband away.

Mrs. Guan originally left first, but she still walked around the study, walked in front of the bookcase, and naturally saw the documents on the table, but the first thing she noticed was the discarded document that was crossed out, and then looked at the newly written one.

After comparing the two documents, Mrs. Guan couldn't help frowning, and she changed her mind.

"Just wait for him here!"

"Yes!"

The man on the beam also frowned, the two women actually sat in the study and didn't leave, and at this moment he swept to a few bookcases, as if he had found something, on the top of the corner, a few books were blocked in front, and there was a small wooden box inside.

It turned out to be there!

"Qiao'er, do you say that your husband and my father are right?"

"This, ma'am, how can Qiao'er know so much."

"Alas, I heard that the Zhou family also has a dragon scale, and the husband is going to come directly to pick it up, if the Zhou family doesn't follow, I'm afraid it will also cause trouble."

Mrs. Guan also seems to be a woman with ideas, but after all, she just has ideas, and she can't help but sigh when she speaks.

The man on the beam was slightly startled when he heard this.

Yes, the Zhou family also has a dragon scale, why do I have to look at this, what kind of demon am I, why do I come to the county government again at this juncture?

As soon as this thought came out, the man seemed to calm down a lot, but at this moment, he suddenly shook slightly, and subconsciously looked at the corner of the bookcase over there, and saw that the wooden box with dragon scales was located, which seemed to be overflowing.

The man shook his head, and what he had just seen seemed to be gone, except for a ticking sound, and the two women below seemed to be unaware.

Cold, cold, a strange feeling of coldness made the man on the beam who was carrying martial arts feel slightly cold, and then this chill came to his heart, which also made his scalp a little numb.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a lot of water overflowing from the wooden box in the corner of the desk, and the color of the water began to redden, and a woman with a cloak seemed to be reflected in the water, but there was no one on the water.

The woman in the water just stared in one direction in the study, at where the two women were, or rather, at where Mrs. Guan was.

The man couldn't help but close his eyes and open them again, everything seemed to be all hallucinations, wooden boxes were still wooden boxes, and there was not so much blood-stained water in the study.

"Qiao'er. Do you feel a little cold here?"

Mrs. Guan couldn't help but rub her arms together while the maid beside her looked in the direction of the study door.

"Madam, it's raining hard today and it's naturally cold, you should wear more clothes!"

"That's right!"

The man on the beam will feel a little upside down, he seems to have noticed something, although this dragon scale is a treasure, but it seems to be quite evil.

Is what I saw just now really an illusion, combined with Mrs. Guan's words, the man thinks it may not be.

The voice entrusted to me in that dream, what is it, can't it be something bad.
