The upright forensic doctor bumped into the drama prince

In the evening of June 21, Zhaoming 28, when the man came out of his home, he was surrounded by three strong men. Although they were dressed in rags just like the man, they had a tough aura that couldn't be concealed, and their eyes sometimes flickered. The fierceness that flashes reveals that their identities are not simple.The four of them didn't speak, and walked towards a remote corner in a tacit understanding.

The bald-headed man at the head said with a playful smile: "Master Xu, I heard that some fat sheep came to your house today. I don't know if it is true or not. What is the way?"

Xu Huaiwen replied blankly: "They are my distant relatives, they are here to visit relatives."

"Distant relatives?" The bald head and the other two looked at each other, and asked with a smile: "Then what kind of relatives are they relatives of Mr. Xu, who are their names, and where do they come from?"

"It's a child of my wife's sister's family. It has the same surname as mine. It's called Xu Lan." Xu Huaiwen looked at the bald head and said, "Cao Gang, they're leaving tomorrow, so don't make up your mind."

"Master Xu, it has been ordered that any foreigner entering Hong County must go through strict investigations, in case some people with ulterior motives know something they shouldn't know, spread rumors everywhere, and spoil our good life. You What do you say?" Even though he said that, his tone was not the slightest respectful.

"Cao Gang, how many things I have done for you in recent years, I have long been a grasshopper on a rope. Don't worry, I don't want to die. Say it again, it is my wife's nephew Xu Lan who comes from Ancheng. Tomorrow I will send them away and promise not to reveal anything." After Xu Huaiwen finished speaking, he pushed Cao Gang away and left.

Cao Gang was pushed staggeringly, the hatred in his eyes flashed, and he said: "Master Xu, do you really think that you are still the magistrate of Hong County, Xu Huaiwen?"

Xu Huaiwen's body froze, and he stopped subconsciously.

Cao Gang stepped forward, raised his hand to poke Xu Huaiwen's chest, and said with a sneer: "Now you are just a wicked ghost who kills his wife and eats his children. Don't put on airs in front of your brothers. If you give yourself face, just go ahead. Don't give it to me." Shameless. If it weren't for the words from above, it would still be useful to keep you, do you think I dare not kill you?"

Xu Huaiwen clenched his fists tightly, his nails full of dirt were embedded in his flesh, but he didn't realize it, his mind was full of the words "kill his wife and eat his son", the heart-pounding pain surged, but he was forced to suppress it down.He raised his head to look at Cao Gang, his eyes were full of light that could bite people, startled Cao Gang, and subconsciously took a step back.

When he came back to his senses and wanted to have an attack, he heard Xu Huaiwen say coldly: "Cao Gang, you also said that I am an evil spirit who not only kills my wife but also eats my son. Then you should know how dark my heart is and how dark my hands are." How poisonous. I don't need to do anything to kill you idiot."

"You're looking for death!" Cao Gang stepped forward angrily, and raised his fist.

Xu Huaiwen didn't change his face, looked straight at Cao Gang, and said, "Cao Gang, do you know why they trapped me here, but didn't let you touch me?"

Cao Gang paused, stared at Xu Huaiwen, and said, "Why?"

"Because I was the number one scholar handpicked by the emperor in the 15th year of Zhaoming, and the magistrate of Hong County, who was appointed by the imperial court, was Gao Jin's tool to deal with the emperor. What are you? Measure how many heads you have." Xu Huaiwen smiled contemptuously, pushed Cao Gang away and walked out.

Seeing the back of Xu Huaiwen walking out, Cao Gang's face flushed red from anger.

Cao Ergou next to him said angrily: "Brother, this Xu is too arrogant, should we just swallow it like this?"

"Swallow your breath, bah!" Cao Gang spat on the ground, and said with a gloomy expression, "I've endured long enough. Today, I will slaughter Xu, together with those fat sheep."

Cao Daniu said worriedly: "But when asked by the higher-ups, what should we say? Xu Da... If what the surname Xu said is true, then our lives will be gone."

Cao Gang looked at Xu Huaiwen's house with a fierce look in his eyes, and said, "Isn't there a ready-made excuse? Let's just say that they came from the capital, joined forces with Xu, and wanted to conspire to expose the affairs of Hong County. Xu Sir, if you don’t listen to advice, we have no choice but to kill him.”

Cao Ergou smiled obsequiously and said, "Brother Gao, I have long disliked this Xu, so we have seized the opportunity. I heard that the people who entered the village today are all well-dressed, with a It looks like a fat sheep, this time we might get a big ticket."

"Let's do it cleanly later, the skins on them are pretty good, you can do some handicrafts. Leave that young master to me, and you are not allowed to move."

Cao Ergou swallowed his saliva, greed flashed in his eyes, and said: "Of course I will leave the good ones to the eldest brother, and then just reward us with soup."

When Xu Huaiwen returned to the house, Ji Linglan was cooking porridge. There was a big pot of white rice porridge with some vegetables and diced meat. As soon as he entered the yard, he could smell the tangy aroma.Looking at the smoke from the kitchen, Xu Huaiwen's eyes felt sour. He had lived in purgatory for so long that he had almost forgotten the breath of the living.

Ji Linglan has been paying attention to Xu Huaiwen since he entered the door. Seeing that his eyes were red, he frowned slightly, stood up and walked towards Xu Huaiwen, and asked with concern: "Uncle, are you okay?"

Xu Huaiwen looked at Ji Linglan in front of him, and felt even more uncomfortable. If his son was still alive, he would be his age.He unconsciously reached out and touched the top of Ji Linglan's hair, tears rolled in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, he stuffed the things in his hand to Ji Linglan, and walked into the main room in a little embarrassment, "Boom" The door was closed with a bang.

Ji Linglan couldn't recover, looked at Fu Nanling at the side, and said, "What... what happened?"

Fu Nanling walked forward with a serious face, stretched out his hand to touch the same spot, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "There is something dirty, I will help you take it off."

Liu Xi suddenly descended from the sky, walked up to Fu Nanling and whispered something in Fu Nanling's ear, a cold light flashed in Fu Nanling's eyes, and he glanced indifferently in the direction of the main room.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan asked aloud, "A Ling, what happened?"

Fu Nanling glanced at Liu Xi, and Liu Xi understood what Ji Linglan was holding.

"Alan, I'm a little tired. Let Liu Xi cook the food. Come and help me beat my legs."

Ji Linglan was startled, then said, "Yes, young master."

Ji Linglan followed Fu Nanling into the guest room, Ji Linglan closed the door casually, and asked in a low voice: "A Ling, did Brother Liu find something?"

Fu Nanling nodded, and said: "Zero Qi said that this house is the old house of Xu Huaiwen, magistrate of Hong County, and the slovenly and skinny man in front of us is the number one scholar appointed by the emperor in Zhaoming 15th year. Xu Huaiwen, the county magistrate of Hong County, who was granted the title, Mr. Xu."

"Magistrate of Hong County?" Ji Linglan opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then asked, "Then how did he end up here?"

"Hong County is the hardest-hit area. My father ordered people to help the disaster. I sent Tang He, the minister of the household department, and Xu Zhen, the commander of the imperial guards, to escort the relief money and food. The reason why I can be so relieved is because I trust the magistrate of Hong County. He He was hand-picked by his father and heavily relied on by his father. He is equivalent to a disciple of the son of heaven. His father meant to let him go out for a few years, and then he was transferred back to the capital to be appointed to an important position. I really didn't expect him to collude with Gao Jin in order to survive. "

Fu Nanling's tone was full of anger, and the aura of a person who had been in the upper class for a long time naturally exuded from his body, which made Ji Linglan a little dazed.

Seeing Ji Linglan's expression, Fu Nanling realized something was wrong, and quickly switched modes, saying: "Alan, this person must not be a good guy, you are kind-hearted, don't be fooled by him."

Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling who changed his face in seconds, and suddenly felt both sweet and funny. This child really cared about him, so he was willing to hide his nature and show his liking side. "A Ling, you don't have to be like this, just be yourself. I said that as long as you don't let me down, and don't let the world down, I won't let you down."

Fu Nanling stepped forward and grabbed Ji Linglan's sleeve, and said pitifully: "Alan, in that place of intrigue, I had to wrap myself in a thick shell and be a high-ranking prince. But with you, I just want to be Ah Ling easily."

"It's up to you." Ji Linglan shook her head helplessly, no longer entangled in that topic, and said: "Since Xu Huaiwen is the magistrate of Hong County, he should have a clear understanding of the situation of the original disaster relief, and his previous attitude, we Thinking that we can ask the facts we want to know from him."

"Ah Lan, just now Ling Qi followed him all the way when he was going out, and found that he had met some fierce and strong men just after he went out. He must have no good intentions. He must be thinking about how to plot against us. Are you Do you also say, 'You must not have the heart to harm others, and you must not have the heart to guard against others'? Don't always think of people's good, so you will suffer a loss one day."

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "But just now I read the deep sorrow from his eyes, the emotion is very strong, it doesn't seem to be fake, I don't think he has any malicious intentions. Forget it, anyway, after nightfall, we will leave , What is his purpose and why he ended up in such a field, we can only find out later."

This time Fu Nanling did not object, after all compared to the truth, Ji Linglan's safety came first.Anyway, I have already learned that this place is strange, as long as I send someone to visit unannounced later, I will find out the truth.

"You wait, I'll go see if the porridge is ready." Ji Linglan turned and left the guest room.

Fu Nanling stood at the door, looking in the direction of the main room thoughtfully.

Ji Linglan looked at the ingredients that Xu Huaiwen brought back, made a dish of twice-cooked pork and a dish of tofu with fish head, and walked towards the main room with them.

"Alan." Liu Xi called Ji Linglan to stop, and reminded him disapprovingly: "His purpose is impure, it's better not to get too close."

Ji Linglan smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, brother Liu, I know what's in my heart. Besides, you are still here, he won't do anything to me. Although I don't think he will harm us, just in case, except for that Don’t eat the porridge, don’t eat other dishes, please warm up the dry food we brought, brother Liu, so we can make a living for now.”

"Alan, if master knows, he will definitely not agree." Liu Xi frowned helplessly.

"I know, it's not about taking advantage of him to go to the toilet, let's kill him first and play later." Ji Linglan assured: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I have the means to protect myself, otherwise I won't slip under Mr. Lu's nose Walk twice."

Liu Xi was taken aback, seeing that Ji Linglan had made up her mind, she had no choice but to agree, and said, "Alan, you hold a lot of weight in Master's heart. If something happens to you, I can't guarantee what kind of crazy Master will do. actions, so you must ensure your own safety."

"Okay." Ji Linglan said apologetically, "Brother Liu will have to support me later, don't let Ah Ling mess around."

Looking at Ji Linglan's back, Liu Xi smiled wryly, and murmured: "How can I stand this..."

"Dong dong dong", Ji Linglan came to the front of the main room and knocked on the door. He heard footsteps in the room, and then the door was opened, and Xu Huaiwen appeared at the door, smelling of alcohol, almost choked Ji Ling Lan made a somersault.

Looking at Ji Linglan at the door, Xu Huaiwen was a little surprised, then looked at the dish in his hand, his numb eyes flashed with warmth, let him open the door and said, "Come in."

Hearing the footsteps coming from the yard, Ji Linglan didn't have time to think, and hurried in. Fu Nanling, who came back from the toilet, only had time to see his back.

Fu Nanling frowned instantly, looked at Liu Xi lightly, and said, "What's going on?"

Liu Xi quickly bowed his body and said, "Master, forgive me, but my subordinates really can't stop me."

Fu Nanling raised his feet and walked towards the main room, but was blocked by Liu Xi, saying: "Master, Ah Lan said that he has the power to protect himself, and also said to let the master wait in the room, and he will return in a while."

"You dare to stop me?" Fu Nanling's tone turned cold instantly.

Liu Xi took a deep breath, and said without daring to raise his head: "Master, Alan told my subordinates that if the master messes around, I will ignore you."

Fu Nanling froze, and said angrily: "Then why are you still standing here, why don't you hurry up to protect him, if he hurts half a vellus hair, I will not spare you!"

Liu Xi couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "Yes, this subordinate will go right away."

He bowed to the edge of the courtyard wall, jumped up and climbed onto the courtyard wall, and reached the roof of the main house in a few ups and downs.Seeing this, Fu Nanling snorted coldly, and turned into the guest room.Gauss looked at Fu Nanling's back, and couldn't help wiping his cold sweat secretly. Just now, Liu Xi's actions almost scared him to death, but whatever their master wants to do, even the emperor can't stop him. Today, only Ji Linglan In a word, he changed his mind, and Gao Si had to admire him, and he had to re-examine Ji Linglan's position in Fu Nanling's heart.

Ji Linglan put the dishes in her hand on the table and opened the window to let the smell of alcohol and sweat that filled the room disperse.

Ji Linglan said casually: "Uncle, who is the smell in your house trying to kill?"

Xu Huaiwen didn't speak, but walked to the table, picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it, his eyes turned red again.His wife's specialty dish is twice-cooked pork. Every time she cooked it, she would watch him eat it, but she only ate green vegetables. Later, when she had a child, she watched the father and son eat it.Although he became the county magistrate, he never let her live a good life until she died...

Seeing Xu Huaiwen burst into tears, Ji Linglan panicked for a moment, and said, "Uncle, what are you doing? Even if Ah Lan's cooking is not delicious, you don't have to cry."

Xu Huaiwen still didn't speak, and ate the twice-cooked pork bite after bite. He didn't put down his chopsticks until he finished eating the whole plate, and chewed vigorously.Silent crying turned into sobs, and then into wailing, and the suffocating pain accumulated in the bottom of my heart finally found an outlet to vent.

Ji Linglan didn't know how to comfort him, she sat quietly by the side, looking at him with complicated eyes.Although he didn't know what Xu Huaiwen had experienced, he could feel Xu Huaiwen's heart-piercing pain, which made him feel acid in his heart, and his eyes were red with no hope.

"Uncle, can you tell me what happened to you?" Ji Linglan decided to take a gamble that Xu Huaiwen was not what they imagined.

Xu Huaiwen froze and remained silent for a while, before wiping away tears with his sleeves, he said, "Your name is Alan? How old are you this year?"

"Yes, my name is Alan, I am fourteen this year."

"Fourteen? It doesn't look like it."

"I lost my parents when I was very young, and I have been begging for a living. The young master brought me back to the mansion, so I am a little shorter." Ji Linglan has always had some resentment about her height, even though she has been able to keep up with her nutrition recently. Nor does it happen overnight.

"you……"

Xu Huaiwen's eyes lit up, then slowly dimmed until they were completely silent.

Ji Linglan asked tentatively: "Uncle, have you ever had children?"

Xu Huaiwen nodded sadly, and said: "Yes, if he has a spirit in the sky, he will definitely blame me and hate me, scolding the sky for being unfair, why did he let him be born under my knees."

"Uncle, I don't know what happened, and I don't know how to comfort you, but I can feel your love for him. If you did something to hurt him, there must be your reasons." That kind of heartfelt The pain she felt couldn't be faked, and Ji Linglan could clearly feel it.

"Difficulties? Silly boy, how can you be sure that I have any difficulties?" Just because of Ji Linglan's words, Xu Huaiwen's eyes were red again. After so many years, no one can understand his pain, but today he never A child found comfort in his mouth.

"Oh, I don't know how to say it. Anyway, I don't think you are a bad person." I don't know if he has been with Fu Nanling for a long time, and he has also learned to pretend to be crazy.

The turbulent emotions in my heart were calmed down by Ji Linglan's interruption. Xu Huaiwen sighed heavily and said, "My child, if you knew what I did, you wouldn't think I'm a good person."

"Uncle, if you don't think I'm annoying, just tell me, you always hold it in your heart, sooner or later you will have a heart attack."

Xu Huaiwen asked instead, "Alan, what does your master do?"

Ji Linglan frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Before going out, my master specifically told us not to tell the outside world, so I can't say it, and I will be punished if I say it."

Xu Huaiwen nodded, and then asked: "Are you really looking for relatives when you come to Hong County?"

"The young master said yes, that's it. We are slaves, just listen."

Xu Huaiwen looked at Ji Linglan silently, and said again after a while: "Alan, there is something I want to entrust to you. I wonder if you will help me?"

Ji Linglan's heart tightened, but her face remained calm, instead she said in embarrassment: "Uncle, the young master said that we will leave early tomorrow morning, he is not used to living here. I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you. "

"No waste of time, I just want you to help me take out something, if there is a chance, give it to Ma Changchun, the magistrate of Ancheng."

Ji Linglan looked at Xu Huaiwen pretending to be curious, and asked, "Things? Is it important?"

"Is Alan literate?"

Ji Linglan nodded, smiled shyly, and said: "The young master has taught it before, but Ah Lan is a bit stupid and doesn't know much."

Xu Huaiwen got up, walked to the bedroom, and walked out quickly, with an extra book in his hand, handed it to Ji Linglan, and said, "Do you recognize the words on this book?"

Ji Linglan took the book and looked at it, then smiled and said, "My young master has read this book, it's called "National Policy"."

"Alan, what I entrust is this book. You have to keep it safe. When you return to Ancheng, you must hand it to Ma Changchun, the prefect of Ancheng. Can you do it?"

Ji Linglan said with a bitter face: "But I'm just a servant, how can I meet the magistrate?"

"Alan, when you go to the magistrate's yamen, you say that you were entrusted by 'Yanzhi' to come to Mr. Ma, and he will meet you."

"That's it, then I'll help uncle. It's just that this book is no different from the young master's. If you keep this one, I'll ask the young master to buy another one and send it to you."

"Stupid child, it is naturally different. This book is the reason why I am still alive. As long as I take it out and appear in front of the world, then I will die and rest in peace." Xu Huaiwen reached out and took the book , a complex light flashed in his eyes, unable to calm down for a long time, he said, "In order to keep it, I killed my wife, ate my son, and turned into a complete evil spirit."

Ji Linglan's eyes widened in shock, and she said incredulously, "Uncle, you...what do you mean?"

With a "bang", the door was pushed open, Fu Nanling walked in from the outside, and Gauss followed closely beside him.

"Master..." Ji Linglan called out helplessly.

Fu Nanling was so guilty that he didn't dare to look at Ji Linglan, but looked at Xu Huaiwen, and said, "Master Xu, don't bother Ah Lan, just give me the things."

Xu Huaiwen looked at Fu Nanling and frowned slightly, and said, "Who are you?"

Gao Si moved the only chair in the room over, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and spread it on it, Fu Nanling sat down with peace of mind, and said bluntly: "I am from Kyoto, and the purpose is to secretly investigate Gao Jin's corruption. case."

Xu Huaiwen's eyes lit up, then he looked at Ji Linglan and said, "Alan, didn't you say that you are from Ancheng?"

Ji Linglan felt like being slapped in the face in public, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes in her heart, and said: "Master Xu, I'm sorry, you also know that Gao Jin is powerful, and my master's unannounced visit is really helpless, so I just I would think of such a reason. Alan is truly ashamed for betraying Master Xu's trust."

Xu Huaiwen's eyes fell on Fu Nanling, and he said, "Which part of the court is this young master looking for?"

"My surname is Fu, and I rank third." Fu Nanling is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and no one would believe him if he said he held an important position in the imperial court.

Xu Huaiwen was shocked when he heard the words, and then said excitedly: "Young Master, forgive me, can I let you see your ID card?"

"Presumptuous!" Gauss yelled loudly, "Having blasphemed His Highness, do you know that it is already a capital offense?"

Xu Huaiwen quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Highness, I just want to confirm His Highness's identity. If there is any offense, I will accept the death penalty. I just ask Your Highness to let you understand."

Fu Nanling took out his ID card, flashed it in front of Xu Huaiwen, and said, "You can see it clearly."

On the milky white jade pendant with dragon patterns, there is a large character '陵', which is an identity token that only royals can have. Xu Huaiwen was fortunate to have seen it once.He prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowed respectfully and said: "Officer Xu Huaiwen sees His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Fu Nanling took the token back into his arms, and asked calmly: "Since you are called a criminal, then tell me, what crime did you commit, and why did the majestic seventh-rank court order an official end up like this?"

"Your Highness..."

Fu Nanling interrupted Xu Huaiwen, saying: "It's such a dangerous place when you're away from home, you should call me 'Young Master'."

"Yes, yes, young master, this place is not safe, you must leave immediately. There is Gao Jin's eyeliner here, and any outsiders who enter Hong County will be strictly checked for identity, and many people have been killed by his minions." Xu Huaiwen He offered the "National Policy" with both hands, and said: "This book is actually an account book, which records the evidence of Gao Jin's embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and the real number of people who starved to death in Hong County. The way to decipher it is On the cover of this book."

Fu Nanling took the book from Xu Huaiwen's hand, and without waiting for him to ask carefully, he saw Liu Xi flying in from the window, saying: "Master, many people have come outside and they have surrounded the courtyard, we must deal with it early."

The author has something to say: the hand hurts, alas!

Today's lottery is drawn, and the winners leave a message, how much they fancy, I am also lucky.
