When night fell, the Leizhou Mansion was lit up.

Lin Haoran sat in the lottery room, quietly flipping through the map of the entire western Guangdong.

With the transfer of Dianbai County and Wuchuan County to the jurisdiction of Leizhou Prefecture, Leizhou Prefecture has five counties, and it has been faintly located above Gaozhou Mansion and has become the first capital in western Guangdong.

In particular, Leizhou Mansion is connected to Gaozhou Mansion in the north, Lianzhou Mansion in the west, and Qiongzhou Mansion across the sea, which is in the center of the entire western Guangdong, and has the geographical advantage of becoming a regional center.

The five counties under the rule of Leizhou Prefecture are all bordered by the sea, and while facing great opportunities for maritime trade, they are also subject to piracy.

In particular, Leizhou Bay in the east of Leizhou City, here is like a cloth bag terrain, and Jinzhou Island is like a nail at the mouth of the cloth bag, and the most famous pirate group in the whole western Guangdong is entrenched on Jinzhou Island.

If Leizhou City wants to develop into a port city, it must find a way to pull out this poisonous fang. Otherwise, Leizhou Port is destined to not develop, and no matter how many goods sail out, it will eventually be looted.

It was when he was worried that Sun Jixiang walked in lightly and said that the people from the county government had brought the woodcutter here.

Lin Haoran put away the map, nodded slightly, and asked Sun Jixiang to bring the woodcutter in.

The woodcutter was dressed in coarse cloth and was not tall, but his body appeared to be very strong, his appearance was simple, his skin was dark, his palms were full of calluses, and his eyes revealed a hint of fear.

"Grass people Li Er pays a visit to Lord Fuzun!" When the woodcutter Li Er saw Lin Haoran, he knelt down and bowed.

"Get up, please!" Lin Haoran looked at the woodcutter who came in and said gently. Strictly speaking, he is also a woodcutter, and he knows that it is not easy to make a living, so he has a natural liking for woodcutters.

"Thank you, sir!" The woodcutter Li Erbi saluted respectfully, and then got up from the ground.

Lin Haoran looked at the woodcutter calmly, not understanding why he had to see him to reveal the truth, and asked straight to the point: "What did you see that day?" ”

Why did Li Xiancheng suddenly come to the west of the city? Who did you see or do on the hill west of the city? All of this is still a mystery. It's just that this mystery seems to be able to be solved tonight.

"Lord Fuzun, can you keep Xiao safe?" Li Er looked at Lin Haoran and asked with begging eyes.

Lin Haoran picked up the tea cup on the table and pretended to be careless: "Hasn't Jia Bao been imprisoned?" ”

"Little ...... What the villain saw that day was not Jia Bao, but ...... Someone else! Li Er swallowed and spit, looked at Lin Haoran and said softly.

"Oh?" Lin Haoran stopped tasting tea and looked up at the woodcutter in surprise.

Previously, he believed that Jia Bao was the murderer behind the Li County Chengjiao corpse case and the Chen family's murder case, but as time went by, this conclusion was actually shaken.

It's just that he doesn't understand in his heart that in the entire Leizhou City, who else will have such great ability. You must know that the second-ranked bully is less than one-tenth of Jia Bao's strength, and he does not have the ability to destroy the Chen family.

"What the villain sees is...... An officer! Li Er swallowed and foamed again, and his voice was a little lower.

Lin Haoran put the tea in his mouth, but he didn't hear the word "official" clearly, but he hesitated for a few seconds before reacting, and immediately raised his head in horror and asked, "Who is it?" ”

In such a moment, he felt that the woodcutter's words were credible, and explained why the woodcutter would not say anything until he saw him.

The Li County Cheng Jiao corpse case may have nothing to do with the Chen family's murder case, he has always guessed wrong, this is actually only a case, and the murderer is a person in the officialdom.

Seeing that Li Er's face showed embarrassment, Lin Haoran immediately put down a guarantee and said: "This official can guarantee that no matter who is involved in the end, he will definitely protect you." ”

"Thank you, sir!" The woodcutter Li Er thanked him, but he was afraid that the wall would have ears, so he took the initiative to approach the desk and whispered: "What the villain saw that day was Haikang County......"

Sun Jixiang stood next to him, in fact, he also wanted to know which official it was and why he would poison Li Xiancheng. It's just that Li Er's voice was a little quieter, and even he didn't hear who the official was.

Don't say that Sun Jixiang didn't hear clearly, Lin Haoran couldn't hear it clearly, and in the face of that honest face, he also took the initiative to stretch out his ears, wondering who was so bold.

Hey?

Lin Haoran suddenly burst into flames, and smelled an extremely dangerous aura.

But at this moment, the woodcutter Li Er suddenly stretched out his calloused hand, grabbed Lin Haoran's clothes across the desk, and at the same time pulled out a dagger from his body, with an evil smile on his face.

It was too late, it was too late, Lin Haoran didn't let him get shy, looked at the wicked woodcutter in horror, and desperately fled, shouting for help while hiding towards the bookshelf.

It's just that behind the bookshelf is the wall, where does he have any way to escape, and he directly becomes a turtle in the urn.

No......

Sun Jixiang was also dumbfounded, but everything was changing too fast, and he couldn't react at all.

"Who sent you?" Lin Haoran leaned back on the desk and asked unwillingly.

"Hades will tell you!" The woodcutter Li Er stared at Lin Haoran like a hunting lion, and immediately climbed onto the desk, his legs suddenly exerted force, and his body pounced towards Lin Haoran like a peng spreading its wings.

Lin Haoran watched the woodcutter pounce on him, and his brain was completely enlightened.

This woodcutter has been a trap from beginning to end, and there is no clue about the Li County Chengjiao corpse case at all, but the purpose is to get rid of him, the prefect. As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly found that the water in Leizhou City was much deeper than he imagined, and he would lose his life if he was not careful.

Die!

The woodcutter's eyes showed a fierce light, and he raised his dagger, wanting to get rid of Lin Haoran before the rescuers arrived. And he really didn't testify, let alone see any officials, not even woodcutters, he had only one mission: to kill the new prefect.

Thinking that the most powerful scholar in the world, the champion Lang who was given the Great Ming Wenkui plaque by the Holy Lord, was about to die under his own knife, Li Er felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart.

But at this moment, a sharp Japanese knife rose from the ground, and the blade slashed at the waist of the woodcutter.

In the woodcutter's frightened gaze, a slender figure appeared like a ghost, and with a "poof", she made a deep knife mark, and blood splattered.

How so?

The woodcutter wanted to avoid it, but found that he couldn't exert his strength at all, and only felt that his waist was about to be cut off. Immediately, his body was heavily planted on the ground, and the whole person was immediately unable to move, and even smelled the breath of death.

It's just that his eyes widened, and until this time he didn't know what was wrong with this seamless plan? How did the prefect know that he was wrong, and he also took precautions in advance.
