Because he didn't find the cause of Lin Kai's death, Wen Yuan knew that Feng Xian'er had flaws everywhere, and watched her cry enchantingly, but he couldn't help her, so he could only be forced to agree to her return home.

The only thing he can do at the moment is to detain the body of his best friend and take it to the county government to prevent the gangsters from destroying the corpse, and at the same time said to Feng Xian'er: "The sky is dark and I can't see clearly, and I will test it again at noon tomorrow." ”

"That's fine," Feng Xian'er sighed and nodded, but when she left, she didn't forget to wipe away her tears, and told Wen Yuan step by step, "The slave wants her husband to be buried as soon as possible, and Rong Langjun must remember to return it tomorrow." ”

"Naturally!" Wen Yuan made a straight face, almost squeezed out these two words from between his teeth, and he wanted to cut this wicked woman with a thousand knives on the spot.

At this time, Liu Zixu heard that Lin Kai had an accident and hurried to the river, and when he saw his friend Tie Qing's face, he was lying on the shore alone, and couldn't help but cry when he pounced on it.

"Hurry up and go to the coffin shop, pick up a good coffin and send a pair of coffins at any price!" Liu Zixu cried twice and suddenly raised his head, beckoned to his child servant, and ordered him to go to the West Market to buy a coffin, wanting to restrain Lin Kai.

Feng Xian'er, who was about to leave with her front feet, heard this, hurriedly reversed herself, walked to Liu Zixu with small broken steps, and curtsied her knees and said in a coquettish voice: "Thank you Liu Langjun for your righteous help, and the slave family is grateful." ”

With a good appearance, a slender figure and a touching demeanor, I saw pity, so Liu Zixu couldn't help but take a step back, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Sister-in-law of the Lin family is not polite, it should be, it should be!" "How could you see him go naked and not lend a hand?

Seeing this, Wen Yuan stood aside a little embarrassed, he came much earlier than Liu Zixu, but he was full of thoughts about solving the case and didn't think about the coffin at all, when he heard him mention the coffin shop in the West Market, he was about to say that he was also a part, and he slapped his hand on the shriveled purse before he remembered that he was powerless and had no money!

When he got married, although the dowry and banquet were purchased by his adoptive father, he also tossed and decorated the house, bought some gadgets, and almost spent all his savings, and the rest of the money was left for Yan Bing to make a family.

At this moment, Wen Yuan only hopes that his little wife will be able to do something, sort out the gifts and gifts received at the wedding, and be able to live a good life, and he has already started a family in his early twenties, if he wants to go to his adoptive father to ask for money again, Wen Yuan really can't open his mouth.

Although General Duan treats the two brothers really well, he never withholds them materially, and he can even be said to be quite arrogant, no matter how good he is, he gets along with each other like the elders in the next room, and he is not always coquettish and dependent on him like his father. In the days to come, you still have to rely on yourself to work hard.

Wen Yuan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, thought about family matters and began to ponder Lin Kai's case again, and only after about half an hour did he send Liu Zixu away and bring Lin Kai's body to the county government to settle properly.

When he was about to return home, the county lieutenant Guo Rugang suddenly dragged the county commander Lu Shujian from the back office and rushed over, waving his hand and shouting Wen Yuan's words: "Moist, moist!" Let's stay! ”

"Brother Rugang, what's the matter?" Wen Yuan looked back and asked. Guo Rugang, who was in the prime of life, was able to pull Lu Shujian, a thin and sick old man who was over half a hundred years old, and he was out of breath, so there must be something urgent.

"Brother Runze, why did you come to the county government when you were newly married?" Guo Rugang ran forward with a fat body, but he didn't answer the question, stroked his mustache and panted while laughing, "How can there be anything important in this blue sky and white day?" Even if there is, it is better to turn a big thing into a small matter, An Ansheng went home to accompany his younger siblings? ”

The implication of this is that he wants to give up meddling in Lin Kai's affairs? Wen Yuan looked at Guo Rugang, who was dignified but full of straw, and said righteously: "To be an official, you must be the master of the people, so that you can be prosperous for the king's worries." ”

"You-!" Guo Rugang, who was ridiculed for not being the master of the people and couldn't worry about the king, was suddenly choked up.

In fact, Wen Yuan originally had a holiday with Guo Rugang, but he didn't know about this straw bag. A few years ago, he was originally the magistrate of Chang'an County, and when he was about to be promoted in the last year of his term, because of the wrong judgment of Yanbing's grandfather's death, he mistakenly arrested Aunt Pan and let go of the "real murderer" Shu Xingsheng.

At the beginning, Wen Yuan, who was only sixteen years old, ordered people to make noise in the public court to set things right, but now five or six years have passed, and when he sees Guo Rugang's position regressing but his brain has not grown at all, he can't help but laugh sarcastically.

Although Guo Rugang didn't know the previous situation, he was still uncomfortable when he saw Wen Yuan, and he was even more angry when he sarcastically appeared.

A few years ago, he was assigned to the frontier to be a county magistrate, and the days were really miserable, and he finally returned to the capital to be the county lieutenant of Chang'an, and he originally thought that he was familiar with the road and could squat for three years as a springboard, but who knew that he met Shuhou's son-in-law and became his colleague, not only the official position was half a level higher than his own, but also interfered in the internal affairs of the county lieutenant, and ran out blindly to take the case, which is unbearable!

He was even more angry when he thought about this, and then raised the paper in his hand and said: "This is the corpse grid that the criminal scribe just filled in, the man surnamed Lin Mingkai clearly has no external injuries, he has no father or mother, and his wife and bitter master have not sued, so what can I do if I say that he was drowned?" ”

"There are no external injuries, but there is no sign of drowning, as for his wife'......," Wen Yuan sneered lightly, "It is not known whether it is a bitter lord or not." ”

"Why don't you eat oil and salt? The murderer must be caught within 30 days of the murder, otherwise all of us in Chang'an County will be held accountable! Guo Rugang stomped his feet in vomit, a pair of copper bell eyes became wider and wider, and he really wanted to stretch out his fat paws and pull Wen Yuan's collar and shake it.

After enduring and enduring him, he put down his hand, bowed and said with a wry smile: "Seeing that the year-end assessment is approaching, Brother Rong, is it okay to raise your noble hand?" ”

Seeing Guo Rugang's sweating appearance, Wen Yuan was unmoved, only slowly shook his head and pointed to the place where he stopped and said coldly: "Who can avenge him after we raise our hands?" ”

"But why are you sure that he was killed and died? Can't it be that you drank too much and were already drunk to death before jumping into the river? Guo Rugang frowned and looked at the county order that had been vaguely closed by him, and begged, "What do you mean?" Let's talk about it. ”

Lu Shujian is a good gentleman, because he never offends people because he does things steadily, he got the position of Chang'an County Commander as if he had picked up a leak, and when he saw that the two of them were gradually angry, he quickly grabbed one of them with one hand and persuaded him: "They are all colleagues, don't be angry, be angry and make money!" According to the old decay, this matter can be passed. ”

"Rong doesn't ask for money, but he just wants peace of mind." Wen Yuan shook off Lu Shujian's thin hand like a withered branch after hearing this, and there was a bit of a sense of disagreement and inconspiracy.

"Hey, Runze, you misunderstood, that's not what the old man meant! Lin Dalang's case is really difficult to handle, can you take a step back a little and not file a case for secret investigation for the time being? Lu Xianling hurriedly shook his head, denying that he was asking for money, and it was not good to hear this word go out.

"Since you all think that Lin Kai's matter is controversial, then put it aside for the time being." Wen Yuan simply took a step back at this time - if he doesn't mention it today, he won't believe that he won't be able to find evidence tomorrow.

After speaking, he saw Guo Rugang showing a smug smile, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable, and after a little consideration, he opened his mouth and gave the other party a heavy hammer: "I plan to immediately write a complaint to report to the official for myself." Last night, newlywed, someone beat up a person who robbed the wedding dress and broke into the new house and stabbed a maidservant, and robbed a peony to save beads and a gold hairpin, which was worth about 50 yuan, and the next day Lin Kai's house found the wedding dress but the gold hairpin was nowhere to be found - reported the robbery case, and was charged with theft and resisting arrest, and Lin Kai's 'drowning' was combined for inspection. ”

If you want to investigate Lin Kai's case, it will definitely involve the matter of his wedding night, so it is better to confess it first, so as not to be dragged out by the county lieutenant of the straw bag for some reason.

Before Wen Yuan finished speaking, he saw Guo Rugang's eyes glaring like cowbells, revealing an expression of disbelief and even distress.

The robbery case is similar to the murder case, and the case must be closed within 30 days, and the amount of money is huge and the first offender is enough to be hanged. If the case can't be solved, the absolute officials of Chang'an County will not be able to do well from top to bottom.

However, because of the principle of avoiding the bitter master of the case, Rong Wenyuan can stand by and not participate in the investigation and pursuit of the culprit.

Thinking about it like this, even Mr. Lu Shujian wanted to jump his foot and bite him twice, but he was afraid of the power of his adoptive father, General Duan, so he didn't dare to be angry and speak out, so he only sighed and asked, "Is it really necessary?" ”

"A certain has been a classmate with Lin Kai for five years, how can he see him die unjustly and ignore it? Lu County ordered and rest assured, this matter will be investigated in person, and it will never make it difficult for you. After Wen Yuan answered, he immediately turned sideways and beckoned to a black-faced man hiding behind a pillar not far away, "Zhang Sanlang, go home with a certain person, I'm tired." ”

After saying that, he took someone home, and then ignored the two colleagues who were so angry that they couldn't do anything about him.

This third is the criminal scribe in the Chang'an County Ya, he just saw the three top bosses arguing and cowering, standing not far away and not daring to approach, and because they blocked the door, he couldn't go home and could only stay up, and happened to be caught.

Wen Yuan took Zhang San back to record Nuan Xiang's injuries and the messy appearance of the destruction of the new house, and invited him to have a sumptuous dinner together, so he had to rest with Yan Bing in the east wing.

The two changed their bedclothes, and lay down hand in hand on the couch in the inner room with a warm smoked cage, and whispered to make an intimate conversation before going to bed.

Wen Yuan didn't want Yan Bing to be upset by the affairs of the yamen, so he only asked her if Li Shan served her properly and whether she had sorted out the wedding gift.

"Li Shan has given me everything that should be given to me, but to calculate your family background and sort out the wedding gifts, it is far from enough to work in just one afternoon." Yan Bing smiled and shook her head.

Later, he mentioned that some of the calligraphy and painting treasures in the congratulatory gift should be taken to a familiar shop to replace similar items next to it, so that his family would not have to break the bank to buy another item when giving gifts.

Wen Yuan agreed again and again and praised it, and said with a light smile: "This is a good idea, when you finish it, I will show it to me, I will circle some special items or important guests for you, and you don't have to deal with it." ”

He thought that the topic was over, and the two of them could close their eyes and rest, but who knows, Yan Bing took the initiative to ask: "Is there an eyebrow about Brother Lin?" ”

"No, I still haven't found any traces in the end." Wen Yuan sighed softly, and his tone was full of infinite regret.

Originally, it was supposed to be the time for the young couple to rest, but she was in the mood for the news, suddenly lifted the futon and jumped up from the couch, looked at the half-lying husband and said seriously: "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work." ”

"Tell me about it." Wen Yuan suddenly sobered up a lot when he heard this, so he simply got up, waiting to listen to Yan Bing's next words with a concerned expression.

I saw her put on a cotton coat, ran to the window, in front of the desk, and took out the peony pearl gold hairpin from the makeup box - the same pair as the one snatched by the gangsters, and compared the length of the hairpin handle with a serious face, and then looked up and asked Wen Yuan: "Is this four inches?" ”

"Well, it's four inches, what's wrong?" Wen Yuan was confused by her question, and he didn't know why his wife was involved in this topic.

"I used to read a novel in which a woman killed someone with a six-inch-long hat needle, and there was no wound but a little blood," Yan Bing said, gesturing on Wen Yuan's head, "just like that, a long needle poked through the ear and stirred in the brain. This hairpin is about four inches long, is it feasible? ”

"Feasible!" Wen Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he secretly planned to check it early tomorrow morning. He didn't care about his wife's gestures, but said strangely, "Hat pin? ”

Being looked at by Wen Yuan with a puzzled gaze, Yan Bing was shocked to realize that she had said the wrong thing-hat needle, this is an ancient European thing! Wen Yuan naturally didn't know.

She hurriedly smiled and explained: "Oh, it is said that overseas women like to wear fancy hats and jewelry for hats, which look similar to our gold hairpins here. ”

Overseas? Wen Yuan's doubts were even stronger, the two of them studied together when they were young, and they should have read more books that they never forgot to read, why hadn't he seen any miscellaneous talk about overseas women?

Yan Bing saw that his face was full of doubts and couldn't think of anything else for a while, so she simply got back into the futon, took his hand and said coquettishly: "Don't care what books I read, just say that this idea is good?" ”

"Excellent! I have mentioned many details that I need to pay attention to during tomorrow's inspection. Wen Yuan replied without hesitation - the ears, throat, and lower parts all need to be carefully examined again.

Yan Bing only thought that her husband had been diverted from the topic by her, and she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know that Wen Yuan had already quietly probed her pulse by shaking hands while answering.

The rush and beating of the pulse had made it clear to him that his wife had a very unusual little secret.
