The old locust tree at the mouth of the West Lane suddenly had no wind and was automatic, and it made a loud noise.

The already green leaves became more and more emerald in a moment, and under the sun, the trunk was as brilliant as gold, the branches and leaves were as green as jade, and the heat wave around them seemed to be evacuated, and in an instant, it was as cool as autumn.

The already lush canopy of the tree suddenly stretched out and became much denser.

"Huh?"

Chen Ning seemed to be aware of it, and looked up at the old locust tree, "Brother Yidong, the surroundings are suddenly cool, are you using your magical powers?" ”

However, the old locust tree, which had just become famous, did not respond in the middle of the sound, but just stretched its branches and leaves wantonly.

After a long while, the old locust tree said excitedly: "Thank you Lord Chen Ning for the name!" Thank you, sir! ”

Obviously, Su Ziyou's words have reached Lao Huai's ears.

Chen Ning smiled: "It's just a name, you don't have to be so excited, since you already have a name, you don't have to call me Lord, just call me Chen Ning, our names can be commensurate." ”

"No! This adult must shout when you want to move! ”

Chen Ning naturally didn't know that Lao Huai called him "adult" before, because there was a tragic song where the name of the righteous son was there.

And now, he has received such a great favor from Chen Ning, and he must respect Chen Ning.

Chen Ning was unintentionally inserted into the willows, and he was also kept in the dark, and he didn't know why.

Lao Huai didn't want to explain much, but insisted that the "adult" had to be called, and he refused to change his words.

Chen Ning couldn't resist him, so he could only give up, and wanted to ask Fang Cai's vision what was going on, but before he could do it, he was interrupted by a shout from the alley.

"Brother Ning! I'm coming! ”

Ma Changsi held the knife, sweating profusely, panting and running over.

"Oh, I heard Brother Ning's words, so I hurriedly ran over."

As he spoke, he took out a small cloth bag from his cuff, handed it to Chen Ning, and said, "Brother Ning, I brought something good!" ”

Chen Ning was interrupted, and didn't ask Lao Huai again, his eyes fell on the cloth bag in Ma Changsi's hand, "What is it?" ”

"Good stuff!"

Ma Changsi smiled, opened the cloth bag like a treasure, revealing seven or eight crimson hard-skinned fruits, "Brother Ning, haven't you seen it, this is the southern exotic fruit that my eldest brother just brought back from outside, called lychee."

Eat quickly, I called someone to the well to town, and there is still cool air. ”

In his previous life, he ate a lot of fruits, what did Chen Ning not see?

But he still smiled: "I haven't seen it, it's really a good thing." ”

Chen Ning then picked up one with a smile, but he didn't eat it, and buried it under the old locust tree with his backhand.

"Give Brother Yidong one first."

Ma Changsi scratched his head, didn't understand what Chen Ning meant, reached out and took out one and handed it to Chen Ning, "Brother Ning, you can also taste it, this thing is very rare, and the nobles in Kyoto have to work hard if they want to eat it." ”

Chen Ning took the fruit and said with a smile: "You have to be grateful to your eldest brother for doing a good job, otherwise how can there be this fruit to eat?" ”

He peeled the lychee and put it in his mouth, nodding, "The cold fruit is really delicious." ”

"It's delicious!"

Ma Changsi smiled even brighter, took out one, put it in his mouth with great cherishment, and then showed an intoxicated expression.

"Okay, let's eat on the road, we still have important things to do."

Chen Ning waved his hand to Lao Huai, "Brother Yidong, let's go first." ”

The old locust tree waved its branches and leaves, and also said goodbye to Chen Ning, "Lord Chen Ning, Master Ma, go slowly." ”

When the figures of the two disappeared into the distance, the old locust tree returned to quiet.

The wind blows, and the old locust tree sways gently.

"Yidong will definitely not disappoint the kindness of Lord Chen Ning and this senior, and will do his best to benefit the people."

He paused, and then said, "To borrow a sentence that Xiao Huai heard from Mr. Su's study...... Single-mindedness is still alive, and this ambition should not be slackened. ”

The breeze blew by, rolling up a hundred and ten green locust leaves, moving with the wind, and drifting to all parts of Qingxi Town.

The locust leaves are gratifyingly green, with a thriving atmosphere, sprinkled all over the city.

……

……

On the way, after Chen Ning and the two finished eating the bag of lychees, Ma Changsi was still unsatisfied and asked, "Brother Ning, where are we going?" ”

"Let's go back to the yamen first."

Chen Ning's eyes flickered, and he said lightly.

Just now, under the old locust tree, he carefully sorted out the recent cases, and he already had some direction in his heart.

At the moment, he has two more important things to do.

One of them is to take the time to go to Liyunzhai, and then ask Mr. Su what happened that night, why his father-in-law is like this, and how to treat him.

Second, it is the direction of this bloody case, since the white-clothed ghost is likely to be Zhou Ruyu, we must ask where Miss Zhou went half a year ago.

With Miss Zhou as a breakthrough, there may be unexpected results.

Of course, going to Liyunzhai is a private matter, and it has to be put back for a while, and the most important thing at the moment is to investigate Zhou Ruyu's matter.

Chen Ning clearly remembered that when Zhou Ruyu went to court half a year ago, it was Wang Hu who handled the case.

It is inevitable to go back to the yamen to learn about the case from Wang Hu first, even if Wang Hu is not there, he can also find Master Li to bring up the case file to check.

In addition to these two important things, there is also a small matter, that is, at that time, Chen Ning should go to Sun Xiaolian and go to Shen Mansion to help her bring the words.

After sorting out their thoughts, Chen Ning and Ma Changsi went straight to the yamen.

After a while, the two brothers returned to the yamen and came to the front hall of the yamen.

There were still not many people in the yamen, and only two officials were on duty at the door.

"Chen Zhutou, you're back."

The two officials looked at Chen Ning with very concerned eyes, and one of them asked, "I heard that you fought with the ghost again that night and were injured, are you okay?" ”

"A small injury, it's not a big deal."

Chen Ning waved his hand and asked, "Wang Hu can catch his head in the palace?" I've got something important to look for him! ”

The little servant shook his head, "There have been so many brothers in the past two days, and the manpower is not enough, so Wang Zhutou and they have all gone out to patrol the streets." ”

Chen Ning had expected it and nodded.

Another young official sighed and complained: "This bloody case has caused panic in the hearts of the people, and we dare not travel alone anymore. It's not something that our yamen should be in charge of, so why did this unfortunate thing fall on us? ”

Chen Ning patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, Lord Xiang has invited an adult from Kyoto, and it can always be solved." ”

"Really?"

The two of them finally felt at ease, and wanted to ask Chen Ning for some details.

Chen Ning didn't know much, so he didn't say more, and went straight to the backyard of the yamen to find Master Li.

When Chen Ning came to Master Li and said what he meant, Master Li showed embarrassment.

Master Li said hesitantly: "Chen Zhutou, I have the impression of the case you said, maybe you can't check the case file......

"Why can't I find it?"

Chen Ning frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice.

Ma Changsi was even more annoyed, and shouted loudly: "Master Li, are you unable to distinguish the severity, this is the only clue to the bloody case, and you still use the usual scenes to shirk, if the investigation of the case is delayed, will you be responsible?" ”

Master Li realized that the matter was serious, and responded in a low voice, "Chen Zhutou, it's not that the villain won't show you, it's that there is no case file record at all!" The villain wants to show you, but he can't see it! ”

"No case files?"

Chen Ning's brows furrowed even tighter, "But whenever someone beats the drum and complains, our county government must leave a case file, why is there no case in this case?" ”

Master Li couldn't answer, so he said for a while: "Don't force the villain to ask, the villain doesn't know very well, otherwise, the villain will report to the magistrate, and you will wait to ask the adult?" ”

At this time, Chen Ning also realized that there was something wrong with this case, nodded heavily, and said no more.

No matter where it is, there are always some things that cannot be seen, and there are many things that cannot be said in this county office.

Chen Ning knows this truth very well.

Although he will not be in the same stream, he never asks about these things on weekdays.

Not today!

It involves the Xuan case, and now that this case has an inseparable relationship with Lord Xiang and Chen Ning himself, it is impossible for him to pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore.

"Tell Lord Zhixian that if he really can't remember, I will go and inform Lord Xiang, and his old man will come forward and investigate this matter thoroughly!"

When Master Li heard this, he was so frightened that his steps were faster, and he responded again and again, and asked for instructions.

"Brother Ning, Miss Zhou's matter is so strange, could it be that the Ma family used some means?"

Ma Changsi touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "The Ma family has become more and more unscrupulous in recent years, if they are really doing something behind the scenes, I am afraid that this case will be even more difficult to investigate!" ”

"More than 20 people died in my Qingxi County, and more than half of them were caught quickly, no matter how capable his Ma family is, he can't cover this matter!"

Chen Ning said coldly: "The Ma family is just taking advantage of the Qiao family's wind to be a lackey, and it can't do it to the point where it covers the sky with its hands and eyes!" ”

Ma Changsi nodded heavily, "I hope so, if the magistrate refuses to say it, then I will think of a way to find someone to go to Ma's house to find out the news." ”

Chen Ning didn't speak again, but a blazing flame rose in his eyes.

If this matter really has something to do with the Ma family or even the Qiao family, then it would be the best!

Zheng Chou can't do anything to the Ma family and the Qiao family, with such a good opportunity, he Chen Ning will definitely not let it go!

After a while, Master Li hurried back.

"Chen catches the head, the horse catches quickly, the magistrate invites the two of you to the backyard study to talk about it."

Chen Ning and the two glanced at each other, didn't say much, and followed him straight to the backyard study.

The study room of the prefectural prefecture is decently furnished, with several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, one of which is also printed with the character seal of the Kyoto retainer.

The window is facing the flower bed in the courtyard, and the breeze blows, and the fragrance of peony flowers is blowing.

It's just that the floral fragrance is too strong, but it has a little more fat and powder, and it is not as high as a reader.

"Chen Zhutou is here, please take a seat."

He Zhang, the magistrate of the county, got up with a smile, stretched out his hand to signal Chen Ning and the others to sit down, and ordered: "Master, look at the tea." ”

"I won't drink the tea."

Chen Ning didn't sit down, stood still, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhixian, half a year ago, a girl named Zhou Ruyu came to our county to beat the drum and voice her grievances, but I don't know why there is no case file?" Please tell me all the information you know. ”

He Zhang didn't respond in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and then said lightly: "Oh, there is still this kind of thing? Half a year ago...... It's really a long time ago, and the official is busy with business, and some of them can't be remembered.

Chen Zhutou, this official wants to know, what does this girl named Zhou Ruyu have to do with the bloody case? Why do you want to investigate a small case that has already been closed after half a year? ”

What a sleek official tone, He Zhang's Tai Chi is really good!

Chen Ning didn't bother to deal with him, and said coldly: "My lord, I found out that this Zhou Ruyu is the ghost who committed the murder and slaughtered my colleagues a few days ago!" Did you say she was in that bloody case? ”

He paused, and his voice became colder, "If someone deliberately shields Zhou Ruyu and the people behind him, they are the accomplices of this bloody case, no matter how capable he is, he will pay for his life!"

Zhen Xuansi's style of acting, you also know, there are some things that our yamen can't suppress! I tried my best to investigate this case, and I also wanted to find out as soon as possible and clear the suspicion of our county government! ”

Hearing this, He Zhang's indifferent face changed suddenly, and the hand serving the tea trembled, almost knocking the teacup to the ground.

"It's so serious?"

He Zhang took a deep breath, put down the teacup tremblingly, sat on the chair and was silent for a moment before sneering: "When Chen Zhutou said this, this official was thinking about Zhou Ruyu's case. ”

[Because it is a group portrait and a serial case, the progress of the case may be a little slower, but you don't have to worry, you have already designed a complete story direction.

Rest assured to collect, in the future, it will be stable and more than six thousand a day, and it will be updated as much as possible when there is time.
