The murder case in Linxi City was finally solved, and just as Hua Lang and the others were about to leave, a holy decree suddenly came from the capital.

The person who came to deliver the decree was a eunuch, and the person who received the decree was Hanalang.

When the holy decree was transmitted to Linxi City, Tong Zhuo, Hua Lang and others hurriedly went to receive the decree, Tong Zhuo was very excited, thinking that the capital knew about his political achievements here and decided to reward him, but after the holy decree was promulgated, he found that this was not the case.

It turned out that the content of the holy decree was very simple, just to ask Hua Lang to wait in Linxi City, wait until the imperial court sent an envoy to the Liao State to arrive, and then go to the Liao State with the envoy.

The reason why the Great Song Dynasty wanted to send an envoy to the Liao State was because after a major war between the Liao State and the Western Xia, it was extremely close to consumption, and the domestic resentment was boiling, and the Liao Xingzong had no choice but to temporarily recuperate, and their Liao State was located in the northwest, and it was not easy to recuperate, so they thought about trading with the Great Song Dynasty, but some of the rules needed for trade were not well explained, so the imperial court decided to send people to the Great Liao.

Da Song is a person who doesn't like to fight, as long as they can not fight, reparations and relatives, etc., they are all acceptable, even if they have won the war, it is just to not suffer too much during the peace talks.

Except for Taizu Shang Nengwu, the others of the Great Song Dynasty did not like to fight very much, so although the Song Dynasty was the most prosperous dynasty in China, it was the weakest externally.

Now that the emperor has made a will, Hua Lang has to obey, after receiving the decree and thanking him, Hua Lang hurriedly invited the father-in-law to take a seat, and after ordering someone to watch the tea, he hurriedly asked: "Father-in-law, I don't know who the envoy to Da Liao is?" ”

The father-in-law chuckled lightly and said, "After the envoy comes, the playboy will naturally understand, and the miscellaneous family won't say much here." ”

Seeing that this dead eunuch actually sold off to him, Hua Lang suddenly smiled and said, "In this way, I know who the envoy is." ”

Saying this, the father-in-law was a little surprised, and Wen Meng and Yin Wuxian were even more surprised.

At this time, Hua Lang smiled indifferently and said: "I don't have much contact with the officials in the court, and the name of the envoy is not a secret to me, my father-in-law refuses to say it, it must be that the envoy does not let my father-in-law say, and the envoy will definitely not have a holiday with my Hualang, and I am afraid that the only one who can do this kind of behavior is the iron-faced and selfless Lord Bao Zhengbao." ”

After Hua Lang finished speaking, the father-in-law was surprised, and then laughed again and again: "The miscellaneous family is in front of the playboy, but some of the classes have an axe, I forgot, the playboy is a detective who solves the case like a god, admire, admire!" ”

At this time, Hualang and the others were very happy and excited, and they had been separated from Bao Zheng for many years, but they didn't expect to meet in this place, which was really exciting.

After the two sides stabilized, Hua Lang asked again, "I wonder when Lord Bao will be able to arrive?" ”

"They set off with the miscellaneous family, but the entourage is too large, so it will be seven or eight days later than me, the dude can prepare well during this time, but after meeting Master Bao, don't say that I leaked his affairs."

Hua Lang smiled again and again: "Father-in-law, don't worry, everything is counted, and besides, Lord Bao won't be blamed for this, right?" ”

The two sides are happy, Hua Lang is even more excited because he wants to meet Bao Zheng and others, these days are not celebrities to buy local products here on the street, or buy some good things that Bao Zheng may not have seen, old friends reunite after a long absence, do not give some gifts meaning, how can it work?

Everyone was busy in excitement, and at this time, Linxi City discovered a horrific thing, an old woman was hacked to death with a knife, and was hacked to death in her own home.

The nature of this thing is so bad, it's not the same as murder, it's just naked killing.

After Tong Zhuo learned of this, he immediately panicked, in a few days the Kaifeng Mansion Yabao Zhengbao will come to his Linxi City, if he finds out that such a bad murder incident has happened in Linxi City, I am afraid that his dream of wanting to be promoted will become a bubble.

So after receiving the murder case, Tong Zhuo hurriedly came to find Hua Lang, although he had not yet gone to the scene of the crime, but he felt that it was better to invite Hua Lang first, and then say, with Hua Lang, he would definitely be able to solve the case, and even if the case was not solved before Lord Bao came, with the relationship between Hua Lang and Bao Zheng, at least he could be saved.

After Hua Lang heard that this kind of thing had happened in Linxi City, he was very shocked, so he hurriedly took someone to the scene of the murder.

The murder scene was in a family on a somewhat secluded street, the deceased was a woman about 60 years old, the body was lying in the courtyard at this time, the deceased had three or five stab wounds on the neck and chest, the blood was still flowing, and the smell of blood was unpleasant.

Judging from the current situation, the deceased should have been killed in about an hour, after Hua Lang carefully examined the body, he found that the fatal wound was in the neck of the deceased, and the cause of death was not much to check, and considering that the deceased had just fled not far away, he hurriedly called the deceased's family and asked about the murderer's situation.

The deceased had only one wife in the family, and the wife was crying at this time and almost lost her breath, but when the murder occurred, he was playing chess with his friends outside, so he didn't know the situation at that time, and although there was a noise at that time, there were too few people in this place, there was no witness, and when the murderer fled, no one saw the murderer.

Originally, this was a very hopeless thing, but after questioning the old man, Hua Lang found that this murder was easy to investigate, and it was clear who the murderer was, and all they had to do was catch the murderer.

It turned out that according to the old man, he and the deceased had two daughters, the eldest daughter has been married, the second daughter is twenty this year, which is the appropriate age, two months ago, and Zhou Jing of Zhoujia Village outside the city was engaged, that Zhou Jing was twenty-three years old, is a farmer, although simple, but very diligent, he and his wife are very satisfied with him, after the two sides are engaged, that Zhou Jing raised five money from relatives and friends as a dowry, in this place, five money has been a lot.

This money, he and his wife both received it at that time, although it was not much, but it was not too reluctant, as long as Zhou Jing could be good to his daughter.

But who would have thought that something would happen later, I don't know where Zhou Jing heard it, saying that his daughter was a water-based poplar woman, and she often messed with other wild men, and after Zhou Jing heard this, he wanted to repent of the marriage and asked them to return the money to him.
