The moonlight falls like a curtain of water in the palace, sprinkling this building full of historical charm with a faint silver glow.

The lanterns in front of the palace were hung high, the servants were shouting and drinking in the flower hall in the front yard, and some scribes were still busy with things in the government offices on both sides of the second courtyard, but the depths of the government seemed very quiet.

The lights in the holding room were on, and a young man in civilian clothes was sitting at a desk in the middle of the room, intently flipping through the files, his still childish face looking serious.

Across the desk stood a respectful scribe who looked at the young man, and whenever the young man asked, he would answer respectfully. After a few moments, the scribe saluted and turned away.

After the scribe left, Lin Haoran picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of strong tea. It's just that his mind is still thinking about things, and his brow is still frowning slightly.

Regarding the murder case of Jia Shao's wife Ruan Juan'er, the matter is far from over.

Although it was confirmed that Huang Qi was instructed to commit perjury, it was not enough to clear all the suspicions of the mute woman. The spearhead of the "adulterer" is directly aimed at Jia Bao, but there is no evidence at all, and it is also necessary to collect it.

Lin Haoran has no experience in criminal investigation, but he has been exposed to some criminal investigation TV series in his previous life, and it is important to know the motive for the crime. It's just that this mute woman has no motive for committing the crime, but Jia Bao's motive for committing the crime doesn't seem to be very strong.

Jia Bao only has an only son, Jia Song, and if Ruan Juan'er is pregnant with his flesh and blood, he doesn't seem to have too strong a reason to kill Ruan Juan'er. Especially Ruan Juan'er was about to give birth immediately, and the motive for the crime became even lower.

It's just that the place of death was in Nandu River, when Ruan Juan'er's body floated down from the river, but the spearhead was pointed at Jia Bao.

Normally, Ruan Juan'er should be closely protected at this time, and Ruan Juan'er has no reason to go out to play because of her limited mobility. But it appeared in the suburbs, and it was still in the water or killed in the river.

Regardless of whether Ruan Juan'er ran to the suburbs actively or passively, there was a force that drove her to leave Jiafu, and the pressurer of this force was most likely Jia Bao.

In addition, after Ruan Juan'er's death, Jia Fu's reaction was too fast. took the body away as soon as possible, and found the mute woman who was fishing, Huang Qizhi, which quickly became an "iron case".

Isn't it Jia Bao? What was his motive for killing Ruan Juan'er?

Lin Haoran slowly put down the teacup and thought seriously. Although he thinks that the "adulterer" must be Jia Bao, he is not sure whether Jia Bao is a murderer.

Just thinking about things, Sun Jixiang walked in softly and said that Tang Zhixian was outside asking to see him.

Lin Haoran vaguely guessed what Tang Zhixian came for, today he did not go to the west of the city as promised, the woodcutter did not show up, and the two cases still did not break through.

"The lower official greets Lord Fuzun!" Tang Buyuan came in and saluted, but his tone was cold.

Lin Haoran looked up at this subordinate official, unlike a weak scholar like him, Tang Buyuan's figure appeared to be sturdy, his eyes were bright, and his face was resolute, like a green pine.

Tang Buyuan was a third-class jinshi in the 32nd year of Jiajing, and he performed well during his tenure as a magistrate in Guizhou, and after the three-year period, he was transferred to Haikang County as a magistrate. Although Haikang County is not necessarily very good, it is indeed better than Guizhou, and it is an official position from Liupin.

Compared with Lin Haoran, this resume is naturally not worth mentioning. But being able to get promoted from a fierce place like Guizhou shows that his ability is not bad, and he really needs to be bold to suppress the local Tusi, and the difficulty is not lower than the current Leizhou Mansion.

"Yuchi County, please be seated!" Lin Haoran raised his hand, and his attitude seemed friendly and authentic.

Tang Buyuan's face was still tense, and he sat down and said straight to the point: "Lord Fuzun, you should know that this woodcutter has important clues, and it is very likely that he is the key to solving the case of Cheng Jiao's corpse in Li County, and he can even find out the real culprit of the Chen family's bloody case!" ”

Lin Haoran knew that he was angry, and when he heard these bullet-like words, he didn't rush to reply, but slowly picked up the tea cup on the table.

When the teacup was brought to his hand and he felt the weight of the teacup, he knew that the tea had been drunk, but he still pretended to bring it to his mouth and made a gesture of drinking tea.

After delaying this time, Tang Buyuan also slowly calmed down, knowing that he did not have any qualifications to argue with Lin Haoran, and he had to pay attention to the tone of his speech.

Lin Haoran put down the teacup, looked up at him, and then said lightly: "It's not that this mansion doesn't want to go, but you also saw it today." You are not in Leizhou City, as soon as I left on the front foot, something happened to the government office! ”

"Lord Fuzun, if you are worried about this, tomorrow I will be guarding the county office, and I will not go anywhere, this will be fine, right?" Tang Buyuan seemed to be a straightforward character, even if he put forward an idea.

Lin Haoran was naturally an excuse, looked up at him, but slowly shook his head and said, "This mansion will not go tomorrow!" ”

"Lord Lin, how can you do this!" Tang Buyuan suddenly changed color, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. But it's no wonder that he is angry, the woodcutter is undoubtedly the key to solving the puzzle, but Lin Haoran wants to ignore it.

Lin Haoran looked at his reaction with satisfaction, and smiled faintly at his gaze: "That woodcutter has never seen this mansion at all, you can find a scholar to pretend to be me tomorrow, why do you have to go to this mansion!" ”

If there was no Ruan Juan'er murder case, he would have cared a lot about the woodcutter and would have chosen to go.

It's just that now that there is Ruan Juan'er's murder case as a breakthrough, he doesn't have to go far. Maybe after this case is solved, Jia Bao will be able to be brought down, and then all the mysteries will be solved.

Tang Buyuan's brows frowned slightly, but he mistakenly thought that this young prefect had less motivation to do things, but finally chose to agree.

In fact, he can't object, the boss in front of him is too big. Born in Hanlin Academy, and ordered to open the sea, he is still his top boss, what does he use to argue with others.

Lin Haoran watched Tang Buyuan leave, knowing that this subordinate must be extremely disappointed, but he had his considerations.

Leizhou City seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and he is now in a fog, what he has to do is to get rid of it layer by layer, instead of being like the brute force of the tiger girl, and easily put himself in danger.

It was night, the moon was high, and the whole ancient city was like day.

A black figure walked through the streets and alleys, and soon appeared outside the white walls of a house. He climbed a banyan tree, tied a rope to the branches above, and dangled from the low roof on this side to the high wall opposite.

He looked down from the high wall, a courtyard where the servants were apparently asleep, and a lantern lit at the door of the main room, with the word "Jiang" on it.

Although he had already done a lot of flower picking, his heart was still pounding at the moment.

Just the hurried side, he didn't even see the true face under the scarf, just the mature and attractive figure and the cold eyes, he didn't think about tea and dinner these days. It was hard to come back from outside the city, and he couldn't resist the trip to pick flowers tonight.
