Chapter 43 County Magistrate Zhang panicked
Liu Xu was planning to leave at first, but after hearing Xu Bai's words, she stopped and looked around suspiciously.
"What else?"
Xu Bai stretched out his hands and gestured: "The next time you hide your identity, remember to wrap a piece of cloth on your chest, otherwise it will be easy to expose."
As soon as the words fell, a page flew by and stuck obliquely in the corner of the wall.
Xu Bai had disappeared, only Liu Xu stood where he was, clenching his teeth.
She beckoned, and the pages in the corner returned to the book.
"I thought I was a chivalrous man, but I didn't expect to be a prodigal son!"
She took a sip and left the street.
Before leaving, Liu Xu lowered her head, looked at the magnificence in front of her, and remembered what she said before.
"Perhaps what he said is right, the next time you disguise yourself, you have to find a way..."
As Liu Xu left, the street finally became deserted, and no one appeared except for a few meowing cats.
…
The next day.
Magistrate Zhang is in a good mood recently.
In fact, he has always been in a good mood, but recently his mood has gotten better.
Ever since he came out of the academy on Nanhua Road, he was admitted to fame again, and he felt that his future was out of control.
Although he was finally assigned to Sheng County, which is located in a remote place, but here he can cover the sky with one hand.
The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. This sentence is absolutely correct to describe him.
Many people are reluctant to go to remote places to be officials, but he is different.
The more remote the place, the more difficult it is for the person in the capital to take care of it. Here, it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
Back then, when he came to Sheng County, various rich businessmen in Sheng County fawned on him, which really made him a lot of money.
read?
Read shit.
He is very self-aware, the eighth-grade scholar is already his limit, and there is no hope for him to go further.
Rather than struggling, enjoy yourself.
I thought that the following days would be smooth and rainy.
But some time ago, Lin Fu seemed to have some problems with him.
To be precise, it's not that I have any objections, but that it's not beneficial to associate with him.
Among the wealthy businessmen in Sheng County, the Lin family is considered one of the best, and they come to him every month to make offerings.
But after a long time, I always feel that he can't play much role.
Actually, Magistrate Zhang also felt very wronged about this matter.
No one offended Lin Fu in the first place, and Lin Fu himself had nothing to ask him for, so of course he couldn't help.
Seeing that the relationship between the two parties is becoming more and more dull, Magistrate Zhang has been thinking about how to smooth this relationship.
Coincidentally, the previous murder happened.
County magistrate Zhang took measures from it, and it was really smoothed out.
"Now, the Lin family understands everything I do, and also understands that my relationship cannot be broken." County magistrate Zhang thought, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
As for the three lives...
There are no immortals these days.
The memory of the common people is short. After a few months, the turmoil of this incident will be smoothed out. Just find a prisoner to be the young master of the Lin family, and everything will be calm.
Could it be that the emperor could find him?
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Zhang became more and more happy, and even walked a lot more briskly, humming a tune in his mouth.
"My lord, it's bad!"
At this time, the yamen servant outside the door suddenly ran in, with unconcealable panic in his eyes, and was knocked on the threshold when he passed the threshold, and fell to the ground.
The yamen servant was taken aback by Magistrate Zhang's face, and quickly got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, and pretended to be calm.
"What's the matter?" County magistrate Zhang picked up the tea on the table, raised his head and took a sip.
Good tea!
If he hadn't been promoted to the county and was an official in other places, how could he drink such good tea?
"Young master of the Lin family... Lin Fenghua is dead!" The yamen servant hurriedly said: "My lord, you said that if there is any case, let us investigate it first, so as not to delay your sleep, so we first sent a police officer there, and after investigation, we found that it was..."
"What is it?" County magistrate Zhang raised his eyelids, but he hadn't realized who it was.
"It's because Lin Fenghua played red rope with the oiran of Chunyu Pavilion...too excited...to death..." The yamen servant became stumbling when he mentioned this.
After watching Yamen servants for so many years, this is the first time I have seen this kind of death.
"So that's how it is..." Magistrate Zhang took another sip of tea, the cup in his hand stopped suddenly, and finally realized: "Who are you saying is dead?"
"Lin...Lin Fenghua..." the yamen servant lowered his head, hesitating.
"Slap!"
The teacup fell to the ground with a crisp shattering sound.
"Let's go! Go to Lin's Mansion!" County Magistrate Zhang hurriedly got up and went to Lin's Mansion.
This is one of his steady meal tickets, and it can't be messed up.
…
Lin Mansion was full of mourning.
The gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman fell to her knees and cried.
There was a table next to it, and Lin Fenghua's body was lying on the table, covered with a white cloth.
By the table, the gorgeous woman in Chunyu Pavilion was **** with a rope.
"My lord, you can make the decision for us. This woman killed my child." Father Lin pointed at the oiran of Chunyu Pavilion and said through gritted teeth.
"My lord, he died of overexcitement. It has nothing to do with me. He did it all by himself." The oiran was already scared to death. Hearing Father Lin's accusation, he quickly explained.
County Magistrate Zhang's face was extremely ugly. He turned his head to look at the people watching, and said to the yamen servant next to him: "Evacuate the people first, and don't let them watch."
When the government officials heard the words, they quickly followed suit and coaxed away the onlookers.
After the onlookers were coaxed away, County Magistrate Zhang waved his hand and said, "Put the oiran in prison and deal with it another day."
Two yamen servants stepped forward and escorted the dejected oiran away.
"My lord, you said... choose another day to deal with it?" Although Lin Fu, the master of the Lin family, was sad, he understood the meaning.
"Your son died of excessive excitement, but it was not the fault of the oiran. I will lock her up for a few days." County Magistrate Zhang said flatly.
Lin Fu was taken aback for a moment, with a look of surprise on his face.
"The Spring Rain Pavilion was opened by the Nine Princesses of the capital, and it spreads all over the place. Don't you know that, without conclusive evidence, I can't convict you." County Magistrate Zhang said again.
Lin Fu was already sluggish, and could only nod subconsciously.
Princess Nine, he knows.
It is said that Princess Nine is very unpopular in Beijing, so she opened a place of love and moon, and the emperor didn't care.
But... isn't she a frustrated princess?
Lin Fu couldn't understand, his eyes were red: "It's just an oiran..."
"Don't mention this matter again, I'm leaving first." County Magistrate Zhang waved his sleeves, interrupted Lin Fu's words, turned and left.
He left very decisively, and he was completely different from before he came.
Lin Fenghua died, County Magistrate Zhang estimated that Lin Fu would no longer curry favor with him, and wanted him to convict the oiran, so he felt that there was no need to make friends.
So as not to catch fire.
Frustrated princess?
Hehehe...
Only they understand that on the surface the ninth princess is a frustrated princess, but secretly, she is the right-hand man of His Majesty the Emperor.
As for why it is a right-hand man.
This matter has to be discussed from the current status quo of the Great Chu Kingdom.
I know that some book friends are in a hurry, but the county magistrate is not small in Sheng County, so he will solve it step by step.
