I do fortune-telling in ancient astrology

Lin Xingwei went to her room with a large stack of scrolls, closed the door, and told the maid at the door not to disturb her, and not to call her for dinner, she had to quickly read through these scrolls, and then cooperate with the investigation to catch the real culprit. So hurry up and send away Wei Mingji, the God of Plague.

The scene of the crime was a puddle on the west side of the Tulu Mountain outside Meng County. Not only were there 30 corpses on the surface, but more than [-] decayed corpses were dug out from the pit below the corpses and the nearby fields. Various corpses, the dozens of corpses that Luofu and the others found should not have had time to bury them.

Preliminary investigations revealed that these corpses were from villagers of Hexi Village and Hedong Village near Tulu Mountain. There had been reports of missing villagers from these two villages earlier, and Lin Xingwei had also heard about this matter.

Lin Huaifeng was still worried about this, and Xiahou County Magistrate had been sending people to investigate vigorously recently, but there was no clue at all. He didn't want Lin Xingwei and his party to accidentally find the trace of the missing person.

Lin Xingwei's heart sank. A total of more than [-] people were killed. There must be a greater force behind such a major case. Even if it is investigated, it may involve a lot of involvement. Lin Xingwei was faintly worried about the third uncle and Xiahou county magistrate.

When it was almost time, Lin Xingwei came out of his room with the file in his hands. The lights in Lin Huaiyue's room were still on, and Lin Huaiyue and Mrs. Pei could be heard muttering outside.

Lin Xingwei held the file in both hands and couldn't move it, so he lightly kicked the door, "Third Uncle, are you asleep?"

Mrs. Pei opened the door and let Lin Xingwei in. With a snort, Lin Xingwei placed the file in her arms heavily on the desk.

Lin Huaifeng was still neatly dressed, his beard hadn't been shaved for two days, his face was unshaven, and he looked very decadent. He sat blankly in front of the case and glanced at the case file that Lin Xingwei put in front of him.

Mrs. Pei sat over and said to Lin Xingwei in a low voice: "Ran Ran, your uncle just came back from Mr. Xiahou, you have something to say tomorrow."

Lin Xingwei looked at Lin Huaiyue, smiled and said, "Third uncle, I have read all these files. General Wei wants me to go to the countryside with him to investigate the case tomorrow morning. What my niece wants to say is, third uncle, don't worry, my niece will help you of."

Lin Huaiyue glanced at Lin Xingwei in a daze, and heaved a long sigh, feeling very sad, "I have been the county magistrate of Meng County for 13 years, and I am probably going to end it. More than 50 lives! Just being killed so quietly Killed, what kind of hatred is it..."

Lin Huaiyue was in a hurry and smashed the desk twice.

Mrs. Pei held Lin Huaiyue's hand that smashed the book case, and wept softly: "My lord, don't be like this. The imperial court sent General Wei to come and give an explanation to those dead souls. If you don't serve as an official from now on, the imperial court will punish you." , you have a wife with you, what are you afraid of?"

Lin Xingwei looked at Mrs. Pei wryly, and said, "How can such a big case not be found out? If we actively cooperate with General Wei to investigate the case, it will be a meritorious service. How could the court punish the third uncle? I am afraid that he will be promoted for meritorious service. Woolen cloth."

Mrs. Pei wiped her tears and asked, "Ran Ran, what do you mean? Your third uncle and Lord Xiahou have no clue about such a big case?"

Lin Huaiyue also looked at his niece with light in his eyes.

Lin Xing smiled slightly, "The bigger the case, the more clues there will be. Although there are many clues in the investigation, once they are cleared up, everything will be pointed out. Third Uncle has such melancholy and uncomfortable skills, why don't you tell me about Hexi The general situation of the two villages in Hedong, anyway, you won't be able to sleep tonight."

She turned to Mrs. Pei again, "Third Aunt, is there anything to eat? I haven't eaten lunch or dinner, I'm very hungry."

Mrs. Pei heard that what Lin Xingwei said made sense, so she immediately got up, "Your third uncle didn't eat much, so I'll cook soup and rice for you."

Mrs. Pei hurried out.

Lin Huaiyue got up and took a scroll from the bookshelf, spread it out on the desk, it was the map of Meng County.The two villages of Hedong and Hexi are located at the west foot of Tulu Mountain on the south side of Meng County, on the east and west sides of Shangliao River.

The two villages add up to about 800 households, with a total population of more than [-]. They have been farming on Tulu Mountain for generations. Tulu Mountain is also the largest arable mountain in Meng County, and the land is also the most fertile.

Therefore, the two villages in Hexi and Hedong are also richer than other villages, and they pay more taxes than other villages.

Lin Xingwei rolled his eyes, "There are many people coveting such a good place, right?"

Lin Huaiyue said: "In the past, there was a family relocation due to marriage. There were many conflicts in these two villages. Some newlyweds not only married themselves, but also wanted to bring their natal father and brothers with them in an attempt to occupy the husband's land. Over the past few years, due to the improvement of the county government’s management methods, such a thing has never happened again.”

Mrs. Pei and the maid came in with soup and rice, Lin Huaiyue rolled up the atlas, the uncle and nephew chatted while eating, Mrs. Pei silently sat beside him.

Lin Xingwei blew on the boiling hot soup, took a sip, and suddenly felt his internal organs warm, and asked: "It's such a good place, even the common people are racking their brains to invade it, so no big shot wants to get it." ?”

Lin Huaiyue stopped his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and clicked his tongue, "Yes, there are people who want to buy a large number of fields facing south on Tulu Mountain this spring. The south is sunny and the crops are growing well. Most farmers are unwilling to sell. The bid was too low. At that time, Feng Hou and the two pavilion chiefs approached me to discuss the matter with Xiahou County Magistrate, and wanted the county government to come forward to persuade the farmers to sell these fields. Fortunately, Xiahou County Magistrate was upright and the people disagreed. He never agreed to the matter, so let it go."

"Uncle, do you still remember the name of the person who wanted to buy the land?" Lin Xingwei asked slowly while eating his meal very politely.

Lin Huaiyue shook his head, "I'm afraid I have to ask Feng Hou and the two pavilion chiefs about this matter. The county magistrate Xiahou and I have never met the person who wants to buy the land. I heard that his surname is Huang, and he works in the capital. What exactly is he doing?" Yes, I don’t know.”

Lin Xing grinned slightly, and said, "Then I'll ask Uncle Trouble to ask them about this tomorrow."

"Sure, sure, you have to ask if you don't tell me. You have reminded me that this is a big matter, and you must ask clearly about any matter big or small in the two villages of Hexi and Hedong." Lin Huaiyue stretched his brows and gulped down the soup. After eating, he raised an empty bowl and asked Mrs. Pei, "Is there any more? I want more."

"Yes, I know that your uncle and nephew didn't eat today, so you cooked too much on purpose and kept it in the pot."

Mrs. Pei took the empty bowl and handed it to the maidservant to fill it, and pinched Lin Xingwei's tender face in relief, and said: "As the saying goes, those who are obsessed with the authorities are the ones who are obsessed with it, but the onlookers are the ones who are clear. The words mentioned the key, such a big case must not be handled by ordinary people, it must be powerful behind it, and all clues about Tu Lushan must not be let go."

Lin Xing smiled so much that his brows and eyes were narrowed, he ate up the soup and rice, put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and bowed to his uncle and aunt, and said: "Tomorrow I will go to the countryside with General Wei, so I will go to bed first, and my uncle and aunt will also be early." Get some sleep."

Lin Xingwei left Lin Huaiyue and Mrs. Pei's room. It was already past midnight, and she fell asleep without washing up.

Mrs. Pei smiled secretly, and said: "Of the three children in our family, I think the most promising girl is Ran Ran. I didn't think before that she seemed to be a different person in the past year. She said and acted with reason."

Lin Huaiyue also said: "She probably can't be called 'Xingwei' anymore, she has to be called 'Xingliang'. Even Lord Xiahou is full of praise for her political suggestions."

"It's better to be taught by my sister-in-law."

……

Before Pingdan, Lin Xingwei was woken up by Wei Mingji. Lin Xingwei was going to go to the countryside in a carriage, so he could take a nap on the way, but Wei Mingji thought the carriage was slow, so he asked Lin Xingwei to replace it with a fast horse.

People in Shangdufu not only have to wear masks, but this horse is no exception. With the shiny silver mask on the horse's face, one doesn't know if the horse is comfortable or not.

Lin Xingwei patted on his mask of being afraid of horses, hating this black horse like ink, his heavy head did not want to ride on it.

Wei Mingji looked at the hesitant Lin Xingwei with a cold face, and said coldly: "Everyone is ready to go, are you going to hold us all back?"

Lin Xing glanced at him slightly, and whispered, "I don't have to go either." Reluctantly stepping on the pedals, he stepped onto the horse's back.

Wei Mingji snorted coldly, and said: "You have to remember, you are not sharing my worries for me, but for your third uncle, or actively cooperate."
