Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 137 Evidence that suddenly appeared!
The people in the yamen will deal with Lin Lang's body. After the matter is over, everyone leaves one after another.

Yan Yun went to the main hall with Zhou Jifeng.

Su Rao went back to the Jialan Courtyard by herself, ordered someone to boil some hot water, washed and changed clothes before going to meet up.

I don't know if it was the news of the autopsy. Along the way, the monks looked at her with a little curiosity in awe, and some inexplicable meanings.

"girl."

The dark guards were guarding outside the hall, seeing her cupping his fists and saluting, he let her go straight away.

When Su Rao pushed the door and entered, the two people standing in front of the golden Buddha statue turned around at the same time. Seeing her, Zhou Ji Feng rarely raised his eyebrows coldly, and looked away a little uncomfortably.

"You came just in time."

Yan Yun said, "I found the account book."

"Actually found it?"

Su Rao was a little surprised. After such a long time, from the second day to the fifth day, the murderer was anxious to get something, so he must have tried his best to search for it. The Sutra Pavilion is so big, it is enough to turn it upside down.

How could it be their turn?

Hearing this, Yan Yun's lips curled slightly, and he handed her the item in his hand. Su Rao took it, and flipped through it casually in his hand. Here, the time when each account was handed over and the amount were recorded in great detail.

The first one was recorded three years ago.

It almost coincided with the time when they found out that the private mine was opened and the village was slaughtered.

"There is Song Daiyan's private seal on the place where the signature is signed, so it can't be wrong, but this..."

Su Bai's fingertips touched another scarlet seal, Su Rao slightly frowned.

Another special pattern.

This kind of thing is always private, and it is not easy to show it to others, and it is more troublesome to check. Fortunately, with Han Sheng's "Second Highness", they are not completely clueless.

Zhou Jifeng has probably learned about the private mine case and the situation in Shanglin County during this time, and he is very worried. Seeing that Yan Yun handed over such important evidence to a woman without hesitation, the veins on his forehead twitched. , subconsciously speak up.

However, when the words came to his lips, he thought about it and swallowed it back.

"The account books have fallen into our hands, and it will be a matter of time before we find out the mastermind."

Yan Yun's voice was clear, and he glanced at the disheveled old county magistrate Zhou, and suddenly said softly, "There is another important matter right now."

"what?"

Su Rao looked up at him.

"Guess why the account book wasn't taken away by the murderer?"

There was a moment of silence in the hall, Su Rao looked into Shang Yan Yun's cold and deep eyes, and asked tentatively: "Could it be... before that, the account books fell into the hands of other people?"

"Ah."

"Is it Master Huizhi?"

He was ordered to guard the Buddhist scriptures pavilion. Speaking of his familiarity with that place, no one could compare to him, so he was the most suspicious.

Thinking of this, Su Rao looked at Yan Yun anxiously, "Am I right?"

"Correct!"

The smile in Yan Yun's eyes melted, and he looked at the old county magistrate Zhou beside him, who was full of sighs and emotions.

He said: "How does Lord Zhou feel?"

Zhou Jifeng's complexion changed, and finally he shook his head with a wry smile: "After all, you are the eldest son, you have unique insight, and I am ashamed of myself as an official."

After the two talked about the case, when talking about this girl, Yan Yun praised her very much, saying that if she is a man, she must have the ability to be a marquis and worship a minister, he certainly doesn't believe it.

But now it seems that she is indeed much stronger than those in the court today.

"You guys... what are you talking about?"

Su Rao vaguely felt that the weird conversation between the two had something to do with her.

Before Yan Yun could answer, Zhou Jifeng said first, "It's nothing."

"You little girl shouldn't ask, don't ask."

After Lin Lang's incident, he recognized her ability, but when he thought of those words that poked his lung tube, it was difficult for the old county magistrate to show a good face to her.

This girl has a surly temperament and is extremely arrogant.

If he boasted two or three more words, his tail might be raised to the sky, so he wouldn't make her proud.

That face was always stern, but Su Rao could tell that he had lost all anger, and said with a good-natured smile: "What Mr. Zhou said is that you have offended me a lot earlier, and your lord has a lot of people, so you probably won't be the same as me." The little girl cares about it, right?"

"My little girl apologizes to you here."

Su Rao clasped her hands in a bow, and bowed upright.

Zhou Jifeng was a little surprised that she lowered her posture like this. After looking at her for a moment, the last trace of resentment in his heart disappeared, and his stern expression finally loosened.

He stroked his gray beard, turned his eyes away and said angrily: "You have said that, if the old man wants to argue with you again, wouldn't it appear that I have no guts?"

"You little girl, you are not very old, you are really full of evil intentions."

"Seniors praise you, but juniors are ashamed."

Su Rao smiled.

Zhou Jifeng laughed angrily at her, "You are thick-skinned."

Not long ago, he was blowing his beard and staring at him, and contradicted him mercilessly. This will be so well-behaved and like a kitten with its claws back, it will make people hit the cotton with a fist, and there is no way to contribute.

He has always been majestic, and the younger members of the family see him like a mouse meets a cat, more than being in awe but not getting close.

He never thought that he would meet such a little girl one day.

There are no rules, he likes to show his teeth and claws, but it makes him feel fresh and gratified...

The two have only now settled their suspicions.

Yan Yun remained silent at the side, he knew she could handle it well, and interfering rashly would be a bad thing.

Sure enough, it finally ended with the old county magistrate regaining his smile.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly improved.

"Then what happened to Master Huizhi?"

Su Rao asked.

"He handed over the account book by himself. He said it was discovered by accident a few days ago. Seeing that the amount contained in it was too large, and it was related to Song Daiyan, the prefect of the county, so he put it away."

Speaking of business, the few people refrained from joking.

Hearing what Yan Yun said, she couldn't help but wonder, "He knows Song Daiyan?"

Lin Lang should have concealed her identity by living in seclusion here, and it was even more impossible for Song Daiyan to appear in a grandiose manner.

"When the Song Mansion held the ceremony, he went there with Master Huishan and met Song Daiyan in the mansion."

Yan Yun said in a calm manner, "Later, when Song Daiyan secretly went to the mountain to have a private meeting with Lin Lang, he saw him from afar."

"That's even stranger."

Su Rao weighed the account book in her hand, and a faint light flashed in her eyes, "He dared to touch this thing even though he knew it was related to Song Daiyan, isn't he just asking for trouble?"

"I ordered Zhu Yan to question him."

"How did he say?"

"When he handed over the account books, he put forward a condition."

Yan Yun's voice paused slightly, and under the puzzled eyes of Su Rao and the old county magistrate Zhou, he said slowly, "He wants us to investigate an old case."

"What old case?"

"For four years, the flood in Yunzhou spread to nearly twelve counties."

After a word fell, the hall was dead silent for a moment.

Su Rao and Zhou Jifeng looked at each other, and the latter asked puzzledly: "Isn't that a natural disaster? Is there anything to investigate?"
