Reborn Lord

After a stick of incense, the yamen headed by Hong Guangping led a group of yamen servants, and a group of dazed faces started cleaning the county yamen in a daze with brooms, rags and other things.

After they moved obediently for a while, they suddenly came back to their senses and stood up straight: who are they?where are they now...

Why did they really clean up the county government office so obediently?

"Brother Hong, Hong Hong... isn't it? This little boy... Bah, this fairy..." The yamen servant bald for a while, slapped himself, and then straightened his tongue, but his eyes were so dull that he wanted to cry Wulei: "How can this fairy be the newly appointed magistrate? What should we do? He already knows that we need chili oil tiger stool to deal with him?"

Can they do well in the future?

Hong Guangping also had a confused look on his face. Fortunately, in order to maintain the majesty in front of his brothers, he was tense, but his heart was already full of demons: Is the Taoist leader an adult?

Your lord is the leader of the trail?

He wanted to get the new county magistrate, but the county magistrate became the head of the trail, so he couldn't do it?

Not only can't he do it, but he has to obey the county magistrate?

Hong Guangping: ...Where is he, who is he?Why did he feel that after the previous rain, he felt that everything in this world was different?

"Brother Hong?" Seeing that Hong Guangping didn't speak, the yamen servant couldn't help shouting uneasily.

Hong Guangping finally came back to his senses slowly, and gave him a faint look: "What are you talking about? Work!"

"But, but didn't we agree to do it..."

"What are you doing? Are you itchy? Do you think you've lived too long?" Another yamen servant hurriedly kicked him: "Don't implicate us, think about it, Xian'er... Bah, yes My lord, my lord! If an adult can tell you that it will rain, it will rain, so it’s not a joke to let us die suddenly?"

When the yamen servant said this, the rest of them trembled, and quickly drooped their heads like quails, and began to work hard with their old noses.

Holding a long broom, Hong Guangping always felt: What's wrong?

He stopped, looked up, and saw that under the dead tree of the county government, a long cloth umbrella had been set up at some point, and the newly appointed Lord Lu was sitting at the stone table with his back restlessly flipping through the old papers from the past. file.

It had just rained, and the ground was wet, and there were water-stained leaves on the ground, which were very difficult to clean up. The damp cool wind blew by, and Hong Guangping felt that everything seemed different, which made him feel like a lifetime away. .

However, at this moment, Lu Mo Ning raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Is Hong Yatou just being lazy?"

Hong Guangping shook his head reflexively: "No..." When he realized that he was so cowardly, he couldn't do it, coughed lowly, and assumed the posture of a government official, "My lord, there is no sun here, why do you want this cloth umbrella? "

Could it be that she is afraid of getting sunburned, this is too girly.

All the yamen servants were stunned, and while cleaning obediently, they hung their ears to eavesdrop.

Lu Mo Ning didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of Hong Guangping's words, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said inscrutablely: "Oh? Is there a problem? When did the officer say it was to avoid the sun? I'm afraid there are ten people in the county government office. Haven't cleaned it in the coming year, have you? I'm afraid you will stay up all night. To be close to the people, I naturally want to accompany you. But..."

Everyone trembled for no reason.

Hong Guangping also had an ominous premonition, his throat trembled: "But what?"

Lu Mo Ning said slowly: "Unfortunately, when it was dark, there was still a rain, not long, half an hour, everyone, come on."

After finishing speaking, he continued to flip through the files and drink tea in a leisurely manner, not far away, seven servants in government uniforms looked confused: "..."

Big, big, big, are you sure you are not narrow-minded to retaliate against the phrase "chili oil tiger stool"?

Oh, my lord, don't you let them clean it in the rain... But, will it really rain?

When the sky just turned dark and the raindrops fell, all the yamen servants were already numb, and the brooms and rags in their hands were dancing vigorously, but they were also deeply aware of one problem: offending anyone can not offend the adults, it will be very miserable.

This is the lesson of blood and tears!

The black snake was lying on Lu Mo Ning's shoulder, and it was rare to sweep away the turbidity of the past: Hahaha, finally someone is like me, offend this narrow-minded person, who will you mess with?

Because of the presence of Lu Mo Ning in charge, and the awe of the previous two "prophecies", one yamen head and six yamen servants met the cat with the mouse, and cleaned the entire yamen completely new.

When the people passed by the next day, they all looked confused and couldn't help but stop and look at the smooth and slippery door plaque. Although the paint was peeled off, this... so clean, could it be that a fairy cast a spell on it?

Can't help but stop and say goodbye.

However, the next moment, Lu Mo Ning, who was dressed in an official robe, stood at the gate of the yamen, like a green onion, followed by six limp people, and a dazed-faced Yatou Hong, Everyone was dumbfounded: Is this still the Seven Hegemons who dominate Jiangqi Town?

Is this still a tyrant in the county government?

Why does it suddenly look like a frosted eggplant, wilting?

And... why is the immortal wearing an official uniform?

This... Isn't this what their county magistrates wore before?

Just when the crowd was halfway through the worship, they saw the unbelievably good-looking fairy speak, his voice was soft and crisp, extremely pleasant, but they felt that they were probably bewitched by the fairy, and they couldn't understand it Now, I just listened to the fairy saying: "Let me introduce you formally. This official is your newly appointed county magistrate Lu Moning. Here are the newly bought gongs and drums. If you have any grievances, just come here, and the county government will accept you to avenge your grievances." , which is one;

Second, I explained again that I just came here and made a big joke for everyone. I am not a fairy, just like you, but an ordinary person.

As for those remarks about predicting rain, it is just a set of predictions. If you are willing, I will teach you the methods of these predictions. In the future, when it will rain and when the weather will be abnormal, everyone can predict one or two things .

There are so many living beings in this world, there is no such thing as ghosts and ghosts, so please don't spread random rumors. "

The reason why Lu Mo Ning said this was because he wanted to take advantage of this incident to appease Hong Guangping, but he didn't want anyone with a heart to use this to deceive everyone.

What's more, he didn't talk nonsense. More than ten years later, an old man summed up a set of prediction methods, which were also very simple. Shrimp jumping in the water is a precursor to rain.

But naturally he was not as accurate as he predicted. He had the convenience of the previous life, but these were enough to convince the people.

"As for the third, I made a bet with Hong Yatou before. If I win, then he will obey my orders. Everyone will testify and hope that Hong Yatou will not renege on his promise and become fat." Lu Moning said At this point, he looked at the confused Hong Guangping, "What does Yatou Hong think?"

Hong Guangping finally knew what was wrong. Feelings...was he cheated?

"My lord, you... knew it would rain in advance? You are..."

Hong Guangping's face was flushed from suffocation, but he was speechless when he opened his mouth. He bet that he wanted to beat him, so he really couldn't blame others.

He stared blankly at Lu Mourning, met the other's clear and bright eyes, and the angry words that came to his mouth seemed to be poured by cold water, smoking smokyly, but he couldn't utter them in a daze.

In the end, he couldn't say what he didn't admit, so he clasped his hands together: "The subordinates should obey their orders and do the work of a dog and a horse."

The other six yamen servants were also stunned: "..."

Their boss was tricked?

Or was it cheated by a little boy?No...all of them were tricked?They worked all night.

But now...

Thinking of the fear of being dominated by the "chili oil tiger stool", they drooped their heads silently: "We are willing to do the work of dogs and horses."

Now they only need to say one sentence silently: Master Lu is a stingy person, Master Lu is a tiger with a smile on his face, and he doesn't show any blood.

they will feel...

Hey, it seems that obedience is not wrong.

what can they doThey can only hold on with a strong smile.

Everyone said the whole process: "..." Still, can it be like this?

As soon as Lu Mo Ning raised his hand, Sang Pei put the gavel in his hand. Lu Mo Ning was dressed in an official robe, and raised his arm, revealing a white wrist. The gongs and drums outside: "Reporting the case to the county government—officially opened!"

Following this sound, it seemed that everyone finally came to their senses. They couldn't help but look at Hong Guangping in a daze. Hong Guangping glanced at them: "Master Lu is right, that's what I want to say, and you will come to redress any grievances you have."

After finishing speaking, the first one raised his leg and turned back to the yamen, and the other six followed in a daze, but as soon as they entered, they saw the young man with his back to them, with one hand behind his back, his fair and slender Pointing to the stone chair weighing several hundred kilograms, he nodded: "Sang Pei, the stone chair is not placed in the right place. Put it under the jujube tree to shade it."

Immediately, the seven of them saw the taciturn big man, and walked directly to the stone table, and with a stride, lifted the stone table easily.

After passing the top of his head, he walked steadily to the jujube tree more than a hundred steps away, and put it away steadily.

Wherever he went, he left a series of deep footprints.

The seven people who originally wanted to ask Lu Moning what they did to lie to them, looked at each other silently, and each swallowed the words that came to their lips.

Then Lu Mo Ning turned around, looked at the seven people who were hesitant to speak, and raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

The seven shook their heads in unison: "No!"

Lu Mo Ning's phoenix eyes sank, and the pressure was very heavy: "Then why don't you go on patrol?"

The seven immediately stood up straight: "Yes!"

Turning around, he hurriedly trotted out of the Yamen to patrol.

So, for the next whole day, the people of Jiangqi Town saw that the six government servants who looked like masters, except for Hong Guangping who was sitting at the tea stand thinking about something, all greeted each other with smiles, one by one Asked: "Is there anyone causing trouble? If you have something to do, go to the yamen. All children are welcome, young and old are welcome."

Everyone swallowed: "..."

It seems... really something is different, but why do they feel hairy all over?

It took Lu Mo Ning five days to go through all the past files, some were more than ten years ago, and some were older.

Not surprisingly, however, there have been very few in recent years.

He sorted out the problematic files every ten years, and then sorted out a small pile, and screened them out one by one. In the end, only ten old problematic cases were left, one of which was the most serious case of adultery and homicide, and the rest were not serious. Painless case.

Lu Moning asked Sang Pei to put the case that he had finished reading back into the archive room, and he uncovered the murder case that had been at least 15 years old.

The black snake climbed onto his shoulder at some point, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: ... There is a daughter of the Pei family, who is twenty-eight years old, as beautiful as a flower, tsk, how beautiful is it?Can you look good like Mr. Lu?

Lu Mo Ning glanced at him quietly, the black snake swayed its tail, thought about his vengeful temperament, and silently swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Lu Mo Ning has flipped through this file several times, and knows the case inside well.

This case happened 15 years ago. The Pei family is a small family at the end of West Street in Jiangxi Town. They have a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter is only twenty-eight years old and looks good;

The youngest son is only five or six years old. The head of the Pei family, Pei Xiong, is a hunter. He goes to the mountains to hunt on weekdays.

It was just one day in the beginning of spring 15 years ago, but a neighbor reported that the eldest daughter had committed adultery with a married man. The family of the adulterer was named Shi. Really close contact.

Fifteen years ago, the county magistrate at that time was called Chang Ronghuan. The adults sent over.

After Mr. Chang came, the management in the first two years was really good.

It's just that the merits are not bad, and if you want to really get promoted, you need to wait for a few more years, but at this time, such an incident happened. The reason why it was extremely sensational at the time was because too many people died in this adultery case. It was a sensation.

Back then, Mr. Chang got a report and went to investigate the Pei family and the Shi family, but found no clues, but at this time, he found that the unmarried daughter of the Pei family was actually pregnant.

In this way, it seems that the evidence is conclusive, and it can be regarded as iron proof.

At that time, the crime of adultery was extremely serious, and the punishment was extremely cruel. At that time, Master Chang directly sentenced him according to the iron law of Da Zhao.

It's just that after the case was judged, the Pei family and the Shi family knelt in front of the county government office and begged for orders, saying that there was absolutely no such thing, that Pei's daughter was raped three months ago, and she was not the result of adultery. I reported the case, but I didn't expect such remarks to come out.

But when Mr. Chang asked the Pei family to tell who did it, they couldn't tell the reason.

Lord Chang insisted on upholding the original sentence, just because the daughter of the Pei family was pregnant and could wait for the child to be born before executing the sentence, but never thought that the daughter of the Pei family was so sad in the cell that she had a miscarriage, and the torture was directly sentenced to half a month Afterwards, this daughter of the Pei family was unwilling to suffer this torture, and directly hanged herself in the cell to prove her innocence.

The head of the Shi family, Shi Dali, had just passed his thirties, he was in the prime of life, but he committed suicide along with him, and proved his innocence.

After Shi Dali died, this hadn't caused much impact. Unexpectedly, the orphans and widows left by the Shi family brought their children to burn down the Pei family because they blamed the Pei family for hurting her.

Then one big and one young hanged themselves at the gate of the county yamen, their white filial piety still on their bodies, and they wrote a "grievance" written in blood, which shook the entire Jiangxi Town and caused a sensation.

Mr. Chang hastily closed the case, probably because he couldn't stand Jiangqi Town, so he paid his superiors with money, and was directly transferred to another place.

It was Hong Guangping's father who was the head of the county government back then, and he felt something was wrong at the time.

This Shi Dali was in his prime, since the daughter of the Pei family committed suicide in order to prove her innocence, the higher-ups would definitely investigate, but he, a man, even learned how to hang himself.

At that time, according to Hong Guangping's father, Hong Laoyatou, he felt that this was not right no matter how it looked, and wanted to investigate, but he did not expect the case of Pei's family being burned down by Shi's family.

Old Yatou Hong felt that it was even more wrong. He felt that even if the Shi Yu family really wanted to go with her husband, he would definitely not take the young child with him, let alone take the child to burn the house, which is too much cruel.

Later, he stopped Mr. Chang who was promoted, but the other party ignored him, and he didn't want to get into this troubled water, so he resolutely took office.

Old Yatou Hong felt that so many lives could not be killed in vain, so he planned to leapfrog the report, but was killed by a stone falling from the mountain on the way to Fucheng.

Hong Guangping felt that all of this was Chang Ronghuan's fault. If he hadn't been afraid of things, and the officials hadn't helped him to be promoted, Jiangqi Town wouldn't have been neglected, his father wouldn't have taken the risk of reporting to the higher levels, and his father wouldn't have died.

Therefore, he put the blood debt on the county magistrate of Jiangxi Town, thinking that none of the officials is a good person, and they will get cold feet and run away when things come to an end.

When he later became the head of the yamen, he was prejudiced against the county magistrates, and he came to drive one away, and Jiangqi Town became the most difficult place to manage.

When Black Snake saw the end of the file, he was also stunned: Eight people died?That's all?

Lu Mo Ning hummed: "15 years ago, because of an adultery case, eight people died in the end. But in the end, this case ended up so unsolved, don't you think it's strange?"

In particular, Lu Mo Ning had never seen this case in his last life, or it was forgotten for too long, but every county magistrate who came here later did not check and mention it, so when he sorted out the files and saw it, , more and more shocked.

Old Yatou Hong's analysis was good back then. Da Zhao's Iron Law is indeed torture for adultery, but it is only for women. Although men will also be sentenced to death, it will definitely not make people unable to resist and would rather commit suicide first.

What's more, Shi Dali still has a wife and children, otherwise he would have left so early, leaving behind such a pair of orphans and widows.

In this case, Shi Dali's death is a doubtful point;

The second doubtful point is the case of Shi Yu's family setting fire to destroy his family. According to the autopsy report, Shi Yu's age is about 26, his body length is [-] feet [-], and he is more than a head shorter than him.

He had visually inspected the beams outside the county office before, and they were at least nine feet long, and even with the addition of stools, it would be much worse. It was absolutely impossible for her to hang herself up;

What's more, there is still a doubt three...

After listening to Lu Moning's analysis, Black Snake couldn't help asking: What is the third doubt?

Lu Mo Ning said slowly: "Look here, 'The Pei family and the Shi family knelt in front of the county government office and begged for orders, saying that there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, that the Pei family's daughter was raped three months ago, not adultery Sheng Sheng, they had already planned to report the case, but they didn't expect such remarks to come out'."

Black Snake: What?What's wrong with this?

Lu Mo Ning said: "The Pei family said back then that Pei's daughter was raped and became pregnant. This possibility is not impossible, but no one investigated it. If it is true, it has been concealed for more than three months. Why? Will it suddenly explode here?"

Black Snake was startled: why?

Lu Mo Ning's pupils were heavy: "Look at the sentence 'They were planning to report the case, but they didn't expect to make such remarks', is it possible that the person who raped Mrs. Pei knew they were going to report the case, and intentionally Send this neighbor to slander? In order to eliminate the evidence earlier? Pei's daughter is dead, and there is no proof of her death. How can it be such a coincidence that the child is gone, and this neighbor just happened to see them committing adultery? When Shi Yu and Pei Liu are both present Under such circumstances, how did these two people secretly give birth to embarrassment?"

Black Snake: Why didn't the magistrate of Nachang see it?Eight lives!

Lu Mo Ning's eyes darkened: "In this case, even if the person died, this pot of dirty water won't let them go underground forever."

Black Snake: What are you going to do?

Lu Mo Ning took a deep breath: "Retry the case."

It's easy to say, but Lu Mo Ning is very clear about how difficult it is to retry a case that happened 15 years ago. First of all, he has to prove that there is indeed a grievance in this case, and he has to find evidence first.

We also need to find the witnesses from that year, as well as the Lord Changrong Huanchang.

Early the next morning, Lu Mo Ning went out to look at the deserted yamen. Several yamen servants saw Lu Mo Ning immediately stood up and said in unison: "Hello, my lord!"

Lu Mo Ning hummed, and looked at Hong Guangping: "Hong Yatou, come with me, I have something to ask you."

Seeing Lu Mourning's serious face, Hong Guangping was in a trance, he clenched the saber around his waist, and followed him.

But when he heard what Lu Mo Ning asked after a stick of incense, he frowned tightly: "Which case do you want to investigate?"

Lu Mo Ning said: "Hong Yatou, you heard clearly, 15 years ago, the case of Pei's daughter's adultery."

Hong Guangping had blue veins throbbing on his forehead, he gritted his teeth: "No."

Lu Mo Ning said: "This is an order. This officer intends to retry the case. As the head of the county government, you must cooperate with this officer."

Hong Guangping sneered: "It's a big deal that this yatou Laozi is wrong!"

He put the saber at his waist on the table, and there was a bang, which scared the yamen servants outside to stand up: What's the matter?What's going on here?

Lu Mo Ning was not afraid, and said calmly: "Even if you are wrong, you can't escape. A few days ago, you were Hong Yatou, who made the bet with your own mouth in front of the entire Jiangxi Town people. The official obeys orders."

"You...you were the one who tricked me!" Hong Guangping gritted his teeth with a dark face, and his fists were creaking. Sang Pei was already in front of him, but was swung back by Lu Moning.

Lu Mo Ning: "Hong Yatou, I don't want to force you. Whether this case can be retried, you first need to be willing to help me, otherwise, there is no way to start."

Hong Guangping took a deep breath, and turned around suddenly: "If you want me to help you investigate this case, don't think about it!"

It's just that when his hand was touching the door, Lu Mo Ning's voice came from behind: "Hong Yatou, old Yatou Hong was full of righteousness back then, did he really just try to gain a reputation by trying to stand out? He didn't. He just didn't want Jiang Qizhen, and he didn't want to have an unjust case under his nose. In this case, eight people died. That was eight lives, including two children who were only five or six years old. This was probably his only Do you want this case, this obsession to become his eternal regret?"

Hong Guangping wanted to raise his hand to open the door, as long as he opened it, he could leave.

But his body seemed to be frozen there, unable to move.

Lu Mo Ning lifted the doubts about the case he wrote by hand, and pushed it over: "This is written by the official, there may be discrepancies, and it needs to be verified one by one, but what is certain is that this case was definitely not the case back then. It's simple. Your father, maybe...it wasn't that simple and died in a landslide."

Several things connected together, such as suicide, burning down the house, hanging to death, and finally Hong Laoyatou's smashing to death, maybe there is no doubt about any one of them, but the combination of several things is so coincidental that people have to Suspect.

Lu Moning's words made Hong Guangping turn around abruptly, unbelievable: "Is this true?"

Lu Mo Ning said: "No, but if you don't investigate... your father will die in vain."

If there is no investigation, this case will always remain an unsolved case, which is probably not what Old Yatou Hong wants to see.

Hong Guangping strode over suddenly, and Sang Pei watched his movements vigilantly like a wolf, seeing that he had only taken the list before withdrawing his hand.

Hong Guangping looked at the past from top to bottom, ten lines at a glance. After reading it, he tightened his grip suddenly: "If I help you, can you really solve this case?"

Lu Mo Ning shook his head: "I'm not sure, but...it depends on human effort."

If you don't do it, there is really no hope at all.

Hong Guangping wiped his face hard, and took a deep look at Lu Moning: "Okay, I'll help you!"

Hong Guangping agreed so easily, which made Black Snake extremely puzzled: You just said a few words, why did he agree so quickly?

Lu Mo Ning looked up: "Are you sure it's just a few words?"

The black snake wagged its tail: Otherwise?

Lu Moning said: "Attacking people and attacking people's hearts. Although Hong Guangping is authoritarian and domineering, he is not a bad person. He just has a prejudice against officials. It doesn't mean that he really doesn't want to avenge his father or fulfill his father's last wish. It's just that no one If he dares to attack, he doesn't believe it. Since you want him to believe it, then show evidence. Although those points are just a few words, they are enough to convince him. I did read it and thought about it..."

Black Snake was puzzled: Is that all right?How does he know whether these suspicious points are your nonsense?

Lu Mo Ning glanced at him: "Since old Yatou Hong dared to leapfrog his superiors and report the case, if he didn't have any evidence, how dare he?"

But these evidences are gone, but it doesn't mean that no one really knows about it, and Hong Guangping, as the only descendant of Hong Lao Yatou, probably knew about it back then.

He was just taking a gamble, but he didn't expect to win the bet. It seems... the old Yatou Hong did find something back then.

Hong Guangping probably went back home, and when he came back again, he had a few more pieces of yellowed rice paper in his hand, his face was still dark and his thin lips were coldly drawn, but he could see the ups and downs in his emotions, and he didn't make a sound. But it pushed the rice paper to Lu Moning.

Lu Mo Ning was puzzled: "This is?"

Hong Guangping: "What you want."

With a thought, Lu Mo Ning opened it, and the handwriting on it was extremely scribbled, as if someone had copied it in a hurry.

The handwriting is extremely well preserved, but the paper is old and yellowed, probably it has been stored for several years.

After seeing clearly what was written on it, Lu Mo Ning sat up straight: "This is the autopsy list of the members of the Shi Yu family back then? But I checked the files, and there are a few..."

Hong Guangping gritted his teeth: "Chang Ronghuan changed the autopsy report. He was afraid that his official position would be lost and his promotion would be delayed, so he closed the case hastily! If it wasn't for him, why did my father make such a trip back then? He copied it down in a hurry. , This is the real autopsy report, Shi Yu's neck has a pinch mark, which is indeed as suspicious as what the lord wrote, she did not commit suicide, but was first strangled and then hanged."

But the dog official back then was afraid that the news would affect his promotion, so he suppressed it and closed the case in a hurry.

"Back then, my father didn't want these eight people to die unjustly, so he didn't hesitate... It's a pity that he still couldn't get justice for them, and lost his life for nothing."

He was young at the time, how could he not hate, how could he not resent?

What's more, after Hong's old yatou died, his mother was washing clothes for others in order to support him, and her body collapsed. Before he became a yatou and let her live a good life, she was gone.

Therefore, from the moment he became the yatou, he hated all the officials...

But what he didn't expect was that officials were also different.

Lu Mo Ning said: "I will pay them back and give your father justice."

Hong Guangping took a deep look at Lu Mo Ning, and suddenly knelt down on one knee: "Lord Lu, my subordinates already know about the Tongzhou Mansion, since you are able to venture into the dangerous situation and enter the Jiang's Villa to rescue the owner of the Jiang Villa, then you must It's different from those officials, the subordinates trust you and are willing to... go through fire and water, and do whatever they want!"

This time, he was really convinced. If he was cheated before, he was forced, but he was really relieved when he got the news on the way back.

Maybe... everything could be different.

Lu Mo Ning did not expect the news to spread so quickly: "How did you know?"

Hong Guangping said: "Tongzhou Prefecture sent people to publicize your achievements along the way. The subordinates got the news first. The people from Tongzhou Prefecture may arrive later, and they also brought awards from the new prefecture."

Lu Moning didn't expect the other party to move so fast. It seems that Master Lin intends to support him, otherwise, he would not have mentioned what he did.

Hong Guangping continued: "My lord, that's all my subordinates know. This was left by my father in a hurry, but it's not so easy to overturn the case. What's more, the neighbor who first reported the case back then disappeared after the accident. There is no evidence of death, these alone are not enough."

Lu Mo Ning hummed: "I know."

First of all, the neighbor who reported the case, the coroner who made the autopsy, and Mr. Changrong Huanchang all had to be there one by one, but it might not be easy for these three.

Lu Mo Ning sent Hong Guangping to find the easiest old master first.

Hong Guangping complied, and sure enough, the reward from Tongzhou Prefecture had also arrived.

Lu Moning personally went to greet the people who came, and the reward was 100 taels of silver, so Lu Moning accepted it calmly.

The black snake on his shoulder couldn't help but said: Don't you literati always dislike these silver and white things?

Lu Mo Ning glanced at him with a lot of meaning in his eyes: Why don't I take the money I got by my ability?

Black Snake: So, it's half of me.

Anyway, he also ran errands, no, ran snakes.

Lu Moning: ...No.

Black Snake: Why?

Lu Mo Ning: It was written in black and white, and only rewarded to Lu Mo Ning, Mr. Lu.

Hei Snake looked at his slender jade-like fingers pointing at those words, and felt that he couldn't take his eyes back, but when he realized what the other party meant, he spit out the snake letter and gritted his teeth: Why don't you change your name to Lu? Treacherous.

Lu Moning: Then wait until you change it first.

Black Snake: What should I change?

Lu Mo Ning glanced at his slender snake body, and said with his lips: "Black bug."

blacksnake:……

Lu Mo Ning accepted the silver taels in a very good mood. The master who came to pass on saw this, his eyes lit up, he smiled, took out a letter from his arms, and pushed it to Lu Mo Ning: "Lord Lu , now that your reputation has spread all over the territory of Tongzhou, isn't this...our new Lord Zhizhou has something to ask you for."

"Oh? I don't know when?" Lu Mo Ning glanced at the envelope, but did not open it.

"Your Excellency, you really don't want to look at it?" The master was surprised, just now, didn't Master Lu really like these silver things?

Lu Mo Ning leaned back, with a relaxed posture, he looks good, even if he does such a movement, it will not make people feel that there is anything wrong: "Let's talk first, otherwise, in case Lu Mou can do it It’s not easy to handle other things.”

The master smiled: "I'm afraid only you, my lord, can do this."

Lu Mo Ning raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

Master: "My lord, have you heard about the case that happened in Ningzhou Prefecture in the past few months?"

"Ningzhou Prefecture?" Lu Mo Ning frowned, "What case?"

The master was quite surprised, but thinking about it, the other party came from the capital, so I'm afraid he really didn't know: "This time, my master Zhizhou just asked for the new Zhizhou, and it happened that his subordinates were there, so I ran this trip. .”

"Master Zhizhou of your family? Is it the Zhizhou of Ningzhou Prefecture?" Lu Mo Ning said.

"That's not it... My lord and the new Tongzhou prefect are classmates. This time, there is really no way. I heard about the Tongzhou prefecture. No, the younger one went there by himself." Master frowned, " My lord really can't do anything about it, it's only been a few months, and six or seven of them have died, and if they continue to die, I'm afraid... my lord's black hat will be lost."

"Is there such a thing? Six or seven people died? What case?" Lu Mo Ning frowned and sat up straight.

The master also shook his head: "Our master hasn't found out the specific situation, but accidents happen every once in a while. Judging from the method, it seems to be done by one person... My master is also a good official who asks for orders and does practical things for the people. If it wasn't for the fear of another accident among the common people, I definitely wouldn't beg your lord to come here."

Lu Mo Ning said: "This officer is just a coincidence, how can such a murder case be solved?"

The master smiled and said, "Aren't you humble, sir? Who doesn't know that you know that there is something wrong with the owner's wife just by looking at it, and you can predict rain with a single sentence. Now your reputation is so wicked."

This master probably got an order to quickly flatter Lu Mo Ning.

Lu Mo Ning didn't want to interfere with the affairs of other state capitals. First, he was just a seventh-rank county magistrate. He jumped over to investigate the case. If the investigation was completed, that's all. As a state magistrate, he can't manage the territory under his jurisdiction well, so what's the use of him?

Lu Mo Ning stood up directly: "Sang Pei, see off the guests. I'm afraid Lu can't help this matter, this official please come back."

After all, just walk away.

The master was in a hurry, but was blocked by Sang Pei's tall figure: "Master Lu! Don't, just look at the envelope, I guarantee that you will be moved after reading it. As long as you can settle this matter, we will Master Chang said that he will never let you make this trip in vain."

Lu Mo Ning had already reached the threshold of the county government lobby and suddenly stopped.

Don't blame him for thinking too much, he is now thinking about the case of Pei's daughter, and he is extremely sensitive to the surname Chang.

He turned around and waved his hands, and Sang Pei obediently backed away.

The master was already in despair, but when he saw Lu Moning turned around, he was delighted: "Master Lu, have you changed your mind?"

Lu Moning answered the question inappropriately: "Master Chang? What is the full name of the prefect of Ningzhou Prefecture?"

The master gave Lu Mo Ning a strange look: Why do you suddenly want to know their full names?

But now that there is a need for others, this master has a very good attitude: "Master Lu said so, our master and your lord are still in the same family, and our lord was also the county magistrate in this Jiangxi Town many years ago."

As soon as the master said this, Hong Guangping, who had just entered the lobby and wanted to report something, suddenly stopped when he heard this sentence, raised his head, and looked at the master with a dark face.

The master didn't notice the difference yet, and said, "Your Majesty Lu has just arrived in Jiangqi Town, so he probably doesn't remember him. Our name is Chang Ronghuan. We served as county magistrate in Jiangxi Town for two years more than ten years ago. Well, isn’t it my family? My lord, you have to help me this time, otherwise... Hey, who is it? What are you doing?”

Suddenly, Hong Guangping pulled the master up by the back of his neck, raised his hand, and was about to throw him out.

Lu Moning glanced at Sang Pei.

Sang Pei stepped forward immediately, and with a force of his hand, directly rescued the master from Hong Guangping's grasp.

Lu Mo Ning looked at the master who was still in shock, and suddenly grinned, which surprised the master.
