Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 7 Don't Eat This Set
Everyone rushed to the government office non-stop, and it was almost noon at this time.

This Governor Xu rushed to the Nanhe County Yamen early in the morning, he had already finished his breakfast, and this time he traveled a long distance (in order to avoid the plague, the ancient yizhuang were all set up in the suburbs), without a moment's rest.The governor who is usually domineering has never suffered such a thing, but due to Ling Changfeng's status, he can't get angry, so he can only groan in his heart.

Ling Changfeng sat in the carriage with Xiaolan and his party, the old god was thinking about something.Xiaolan caressed Xiaoyu lightly, looked up through the curtains, and looked at the depressed and daring expression of Fu Yin riding on horseback, she just thought it was quite interesting.

So he poked Ling Changfeng, and said softly: "Master Changfeng, look at the ashen complexion of Mr. Xu Fuyin, I'm afraid it's not very good at the moment. If you secretly embarrass you later, you have to be more careful."

Ling Changfeng glanced at Xufu Yin, and said: "Don't worry, before the Dali Temple Minister arrives, I will decide the case, and he dare not play any small tricks. Even if the Dali Temple Minister Mencius comes, I will not be afraid." .”

Xiaolan nodded and said worriedly: "It's just that Mencius Yan has a great reputation in the capital. He has always acted domineeringly and swiftly. I'm afraid he won't be like these two in the future. Talking to Mencius in the capital has a reason, it’s easy to hide a spear and it’s hard to guard against it, so it’s better to be careful.” Seeing that Ling Changfeng didn’t take it seriously, Xiaolan said, “Why, young master, have you already thought of a way to deal with it?”

Ling Changfeng looked at Xiaolan's worried expression, leaned over, and whispered in Xiaolan's ear: "I've already thought of a way to deal with it, I will..."

Xiaolan could only feel the breath flowing in her ears, and she couldn't help blushing.After carefully listening to Ling Changfeng's way of coping, he nodded repeatedly and slowly relaxed.And she also has her own set of ways to deal with it. If someone really wants to be malicious, I'm afraid she will have to ask the three-foot soft sword on her waist if she agrees.Xiaolan regained her composure, and started teasing Xiaoyu again.

. . .

A group of people rode horses and carts, and arrived at the gate of the government office.But he only saw a small official guarding him, and the rest did not come out to greet him.Xu Fu Yin suddenly became angry, and asked sharply: "What's going on! Why are you the only one waiting here? Where did the rest of the people go? How dare you disrespect the new special envoy! What should be the crime? Left and right, take down This person!"

The little official was so frightened by Xu Fuyin, how dare he open his mouth to explain, so he knelt down and begged for mercy.

Ling Changfeng knew that Xu Fu Yin's anger was directed at the little official, but the words were directed at himself.Seeing that he was about to embarrass the little official, he said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, please be calm and don't be impatient. Let him speak clearly for the time being."

Xu Fu Yin called the attendant to stop and said: "Tell me what's going on?"

The little official hastily thanked Ling Changfeng and Xu Fu Yin, and replied: "Your Excellency does not know something. When the incense was burned just now, Lord Qing Meng from the Dali Temple in the capital rushed over with a group of attendants. He even opened the gate All the police officers were called to search the scene of the crime. Only the villain was left here to wait for your lords. And let you go immediately after you come back."

When everyone heard that Mencius had arrived, their faces were filled with excitement.

County Magistrate Qin's face was ponderous, he is the smallest official here, anyone can easily manipulate him, he can only take one step at a time.Fuyin Xu had an uncontrollable expression on his face, and he let out a long sigh of relief, thinking that he finally didn't have to worry about this little baby anymore.Ling Changfeng has seen Mencius's vigorous and resolute style of handling things.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu Yin said in a deep voice: "Hmph, since that's the case, let's not pursue it this time." Turning to Ling Changfeng, he said: "Master Ling, let's go there quickly."

Knowing that this was Mencius Yan's warning to everyone, Ling Changfeng didn't accept this, pulled Xiaolan out of the carriage, and said: "So many people have passed by, and it's no good for me to be one more. I'm tired and I have to go back home." Ya combs through the results of the autopsy just now. You decide for yourself." Then he ignored everyone and walked towards Fu Ya.

Xu Fuyin replied: "Since Master Ling won't go, let's go to see Master Meng first." He also specially emphasized the word Master Meng.So with a hungry stomach, he led a group of people to Firework Lane in Nanhe County.

County Magistrate Qin intentionally came to the last place, quickly chased Ling Changfeng and the two, and said, "Your Excellency is resting in the mansion. I will ask the servant at the door to prepare some snacks for you. You and Miss Xiaolan can enjoy it slowly." After finishing, they caught up with the big troops and went to Firework Lane together.

The clerk led the two to the lounge, cupped his hands and said, "My lords, please take a seat. This is oolong tea that has already been brewed. The young one will go and prepare some good snacks for your two lords."

Xiaolan waved her hand and said, "Do you have mung bean cakes? Go and prepare some for me." Ling Changfeng glanced at her and said with a smile, "If you eat any more, you'll have to change your clothes." The latter didn't answer either. If so, just sit on the sandalwood chair and pet the cat.

Ling Changfeng shook his head, sat on the chair and began to recall the results of the autopsy.

Judging from the results of the autopsy, the deceased did not show any signs of fighting, so the murderer probably took advantage of the deceased's unpreparedness in advance, and it was possible that many people committed the crime and subdued him.

Moreover, the fragrance of ink remained on the hands of the deceased, and he was probably writing or reading during his lifetime (the quality of ancient pen and ink was poor, and reading books often made his hands sticky with the fragrance of ink).From this, it can be deduced that Firework Lane may not be the scene of the first crime, and it is most likely in the study of the deceased's home.

According to the results of the autopsy, the deceased most likely died in the middle of the night, and then the murderer wanted to carry the body away, but passing by Fireworks Lane, he happened to see himself and Xiaolan, so he disposed of the body.So it means that the murderer didn't go far at that time!Who is it?
Another one, the boots on the deceased's feet were stained with mud, probably he had been somewhere before he was alive, and he was wearing a brocade robe and boots, probably meeting very important people or doing very important things.

Ling Changfeng slowly gathered these clues in his mind, and with the help of subtle clues, he deduced the incident a little bit clearly. If anyone has seen the incident, they will probably admire his terrifying reasoning ability.

But who could be the suspect?What is the motivation behind it?The case is like the moon in the water, Ling Changfeng can see it from a distance, but can't get close.

Seeing Ling Changfeng in a trance, Xiaolan was eating the mung bean cake that the clerk had already brought, her little feet swaying, and she seemed extremely content.
