Leizhou Mansion is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, and because of its remote location, it has always been a place of exile for the imperial court. It is also for this reason that many celebrities have left their footprints here.

There is a lake in the west of Leizhou City, originally named Luohu, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the seventh year of Song Shaosheng, when Su Shi was demoted to Hainan, he passed through Leizhou, met his brother Su Zhe here, and traveled to Luohu Lake together, which was rumored to be a good story, and then changed its name to "West Lake".

This West Lake naturally cannot be compared with the West Lake of Hangzhou, but it is also a scenic spot in Leizhou City, attracting many literati and tourists to visit and taste the scenery of this West Lake.

Lin Haoran took a sedan chair out of the West City Gate, but not to witness the beauty of the West Lake, but for the most critical witness - the woodcutter.

According to the news that Tang Zhixian had just sent back, the woodcutter hiding in the mountains and forests shouted, threatening to see him as the prefect before he was willing to show up, and no one else would believe it.

There are all kinds of indications that this woodcutter is not only an important witness in the Li County Cheng Jiao corpse case, but also a key figure in solving the Chen family's murder case. As long as this person's confession is obtained, those two cases are very likely to be solved.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Haoran decided to go to see the woodcutter in person, let the woodcutter come back to testify, and solve the two major cases in Leizhou Mansion in one fell swoop.

The travel of officials in the Ming Dynasty is regulated, such as the seven-rank official traveling with a black umbrella, the six-grade official traveling to break the golden fan, and the five-rank official traveling can play a big golden fan. If you use a guard of honor, you will be impeached.

This guard of honor with a large golden umbrella came out of the West City Gate in a majestic manner, but less than a mile away, a messenger came from behind and blocked the way of the procession.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a five-grade official uniform, sat in a sedan chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he learned that the yacha was coming, he guessed that there might be another big incident in Leizhou City. It's just that I don't know if it's a murder case, or if someone is beating the drum of injustice, I can't help but feel like a numb in my heart, he, the prefect, really can't be idle for a day.

It's just that he guessed wrong, a group of people suddenly besieged the mansion, and Hu Niu was injured.

"Go back!"

After hearing what happened, a thick anger immediately surged into his heart.

He is already the prefect of Leizhou Mansion, but there are still people who dare to touch the tiger girl, how can he not feel angry. The day before yesterday, he forbearance at the fish market, which was for the sake of the overall situation.

It's just that now Jia Bao and that Zhao Baihu are so inch-inch, they still dare to fight Tiger Girl, where will he continue to care about the overall situation, he just wants to kill all these people.

Dai Beihe was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, please think twice!" ”

Lin Haoran naturally knew what he meant, that woodcutter was too important, and he was the key to solving the mystery of the two major cases. It's just that in his heart at the moment, nothing is more important than Tiger Girl.

Drive!

Lin Haoran did not return slowly in a sedan chair, but took Tiezhu and others to ride directly towards the West City Gate.

The defense of Leizhou City is in charge of Leizhou Guard, and the general banner Duan Continent has just completed the autumn harvest with its military households, which was transferred by 100 households to guard the West City Gate.

It's just that the sergeants under its command complained for days, this hard work had just been done, and they had not been idle for a few days, so they were sent here to guard the city again. Although there is an entrance fee to the city, according to the rules, the money cannot go into their pockets at all, at most to improve the food.

Duan Dalu's eyes were also worried, they were so dispatched because he offended Shangguan. It's just that what worries him is not that he does more work than others, but that his military households can't be trained at all, and they will definitely become cannon fodder on the battlefield.

However, he has no power to change the status quo. He is just a hereditary small flag, and he didn't get acquainted with any big people at all, but the officials he offended were not small, and the days were dark at all.

Hey?

Duan Dalu's thoughts were interrupted, and he heard several hurried fast horses coming towards this side, and was about to give the order to stop these people, but he saw that the leader was a young man wearing a five-rank official uniform.

Thinking of the honor guard of Fang Cai Fuzun passing by, the identity of this person is also about to come out. Today's imperial court is a civil official, even if it is his own commander, he has to be polite when he sees the palace, this is a mountain-like existence.

"Which of you is in charge?" Lin Haoran came to the city gate and stopped, and his gaze finally fell on Duan Dalu.

Duan Dalu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he always felt that there was a big opportunity in front of him, so he nervously arched his hand and said: "Tell Your Excellency, I am Duan Dalu of the Leizhou Wei General Banner!" ”

"Duan Zongqi, this official orders you as the prefect of Leizhou! The government is besieged by anti-thieves, you quickly order troops and follow me to suppress the bandits! Lin Haoran's eyes looked at Duan Dalu fiercely, and said in a deep voice.

Duan Dalu gritted his teeth and said loudly: "The last general obeys the order!" ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, leaving only two remnants of the soldiers to guard here, and the soldiers above all beckoned down, and followed the new prefect who was in the ascendant to "suppress the bandits".

In fact, he is not a fool and knows what the so-called anti-thief is all about. It's just that he knows that if he wants to hug this thick thigh, he can only say less and do more.

The mansion was close to the west city gate, and Lin Haoran soon saw the Leizhou mansion, where dozens of strong men were already surrounded, but the gate of the mansion was closed.

These people were very arrogant, and they even found a log and hit the gate of the palace.

"Stop!"

When Lin Haoran saw this scene, a wave of anger surged in his heart. This bully Jia Bao is so arrogant that he dares to besiege the government like this, which is clearly lawless.

But he didn't know whether to ignore Lin Haoran, or to give Lin Haoran a dismount, after Jia San saw Lin Haoran appear, he immediately led a few strong men to pounce.

Duan Dalu held the steel knife in his hand, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at the right-hand man next to him, and immediately greeted him. But he knew that if he wanted to hug the thigh of the new prefect, then he had to show something.

I have to say that Jia San and the others are also powerful characters, but they still lack the confidence they usually have after all, especially Lin Haoran suddenly said: "These are all rebellions, and those who resist will kill me!" ”

Burst!

Duan Dalu did not relent, and immediately slashed at Jia San, and immediately blood poured into it.

But I don't know if the leader was slashed, or frightened by this bloody scene, the chaotic scene suddenly came to an abrupt end.

Everyone was staring at Jia San who was injured and wailing, but they didn't know what to do. In particular, they found that this doll prefect was not the soft egg they imagined, but very much like a ruthless stubble.

"Lord Prefect, what a majesty! The soldiers at the city gate have been transferred, aren't you afraid of being convicted of a transgression? It was then that a lean young man stepped forward.

"Who are you?" When Lin Haoran heard this, he faintly guessed the identity of the other party.

"I am Zhao Sanjiang of Haikang Thousand Households and Hundred Households!" Zhao Baihu said with a proud face.

"Duan Zongqi obeyed the order and took down this traitor to this official!" In Zhao Baihu's proud gaze, Lin Haoran's fingers slowly pointed at him, and he ordered in a deep voice.

What the?

Zhao Baihu thought that he had misheard, and looked up at Lin Haoran in disbelief, the doll prefect who was extremely despised by Jia Bao.
