In the early morning in the south of the Yangtze River, the air is moist and smells of fresh bamboo leaves.The sound of birds is bursting, mellow and quiet, refreshing.

Zhao Yuanjian and Lin Heng sat in the room, eating breakfast.As Zhao Yuanjian ate, he bit Lin Heng's lip and sucked the sweet soy milk in his mouth.

Lin Heng thought he couldn't eat breakfast again, and they were about to explode.Wang Zhihe walked in, Lin Heng hurriedly pushed Zhao Yuanjian away.Wang Zhihe hastily covered his sleeves, he wanted to see no evil.

Lin Heng felt ashamed to face people, so he rushed out of the house and sat at the door to listen to their chat.Boring, he grabbed a handful of bamboo leaves and tore them into pieces.

Wang Zhihe saluted Zhao Yuanjian: "Your Excellency, the matter has been settled."

Zhao Yuanjian said enthusiastically: "Please sit down, have you had breakfast? Let's eat together."

Wang Zhihe bowed respectfully: "How dare you eat at the same table with the adults."

Zhao Yuanjian said gently: "Why be so polite, you and I are classmates and friends."

Wang Zhihe looked at him gratefully and said, "Only adults are so approachable."

Zhao Yuanjian smiled and said, "I believe what you said, you are the most honest person I have ever met."

Wang Zhihe said with a smile: "You are absurd, I can't be regarded as an upright person like Master Xu."

Zhao Yuanjian: "When we have time, let's catch up on the past, how about you?"

Wang Zhihe: "I think so too."

Wang Zhihe took out a stack of official documents and handed them to Zhao Yuanjian.Zhao Yuanjian opened it and looked at it for a long time, then said, "Okay, it's done well."

After speaking, they went to the court to go to the court to work.

Lin Heng looked at the thick document, thinking that he had something to hide from me.

They went to court, sat down, and opened the paperwork.Wang Zhihe said, "May I tell you about the Jiangnan officialdom?"

Zhao Yuanjian picked up the brush and said, "We'll talk when we have time. Let's write the official documents of the barracks first, and then go to the Lin Mansion to vent our anger on that person."

Wang Zhihe: "I didn't expect my lord to be so interested in that school boy, so where is he now?"

Zhao Yuanjian didn't speak, and took a brush to write official documents.

Lin Heng remembered that when they first arrived, those officials gave Zhao Yuanjian a wooden box containing jade signs.

Lin Heng began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, but he couldn't find the box that he was afraid of all afternoon.He thought it must be Zhao Yuanjian hiding it.

He walked to the court, ready to quarrel with Zhao Yuanjian, and told Zhao Yuanjian to kill that heart, and he didn't need those ghosts to kill him.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Yuanjian and Wang Zhihe sitting in front of the mirror hanging high, and he was writing official documents with a brush.

Seeing such a solemn scene, Lin Heng endured it and stood aside looking at Zhao Yuanjian.Zhao Yuanjian lowered his head, and a few strands of hair hung down from the official hat and stuck to his forehead.He held his breath and concentrated on writing without distraction.Lin Heng thinks that his man's serious appearance is really sexy.

As the sun set, turning the clouds into red clouds and dragging the shadows for a long time, the two finally finished writing the paperwork.Zhao Yuanjian hurriedly asked Lin Heng to carry the horse.

Zhang Zhifu rushed over sweating profusely, and wanted to kowtow to Zhao Yuanjian.Zhao Yuanjian asked him to excuse himself, and led them out of the courtroom.

Zhao Yuanjian called Lei Lie to follow Lin Heng to protect him.Five people rode horses and led a group of officers and soldiers towards a mansion.

Pedestrians on the street gathered to watch, Zhao Yuanjian was serious, frowned, and sat on the tall horse with full majesty, the common people talked about it, the new magistrate was young and handsome but very dignified.

Zhao Yuanjian urged all the way, and after walking for about an hour, he came to a mansion.

Lin Heng saw the Lin Mansion at a glance. This was the home of his adoptive father and mother.His heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Zhao Yuanjian.

Zhao Yuanjian dismounted from his horse, helped Lin Heng down himself, and whispered in his ear: "This is my gift for you!"

Lin Heng stared at him blankly, Zhao Yuanjian took his hand and walked towards the door step by step.Lin Heng followed him with fear and doubt, and he felt that every step he took was so difficult.

A team of officers and soldiers entered first, waiting for Zhao Yuan to inspect them.The moment Lin Heng walked through the gate, memories flooded his mind.

Adoptive father Lin Xuan and adoptive mother Wu Yuxiang have three sons, one of whom is Lin Heng.

At that time, adoptive father Lin Xuan escorted many silks and satins to deliver goods to the north.Logically speaking, the round-trip journey only takes one month, but after two months, the adoptive father did not come back.

Lin Xuan's younger brother, Erye Lin, sent someone to look for him, but they couldn't find even a hair.

Wu Yuxiang, the adoptive mother, later received a blackmail letter from bandits in Xinanshan, Qingzhou Prefecture, but the date for the payment of the money had passed.

Lin Erye quickly drove Wu Yuxiang out of Lin's mansion, embezzling the family property.Wu Yuxiang only had a few thousand acres of land left in the East Village, so she moved to live in the East Village with her children.

A few days later, the former Housekeeper Li of the Lin Mansion came to visit.Wu Yuxiang cooked a few home-cooked dishes, arranged the meals, and invited the butler to sit down.

But the housekeeper seemed to be preoccupied and absent-minded.When he poured the wine, it spilled over the glass.

Wu Yuniang asked, "Uncle Li has something on his mind."

The housekeeper: "Madam, don't you think this matter is strange?"

Wu Yuniang's heart trembled: "Uncle Li, what do you mean, my Lin Xuan died unexpectedly?"

The housekeeper said: "The uncle disappeared at that time. I was ordered by my wife to report the matter to the second master's mansion. I was too drunk at the mansion and passed out. I got up from the guest room in the middle of the night to relieve myself. I couldn't find the latrine for a while. I went to the wrong place. On the way, I walked to the second master's bedroom. I heard the second master said that Lin Xuan had been killed by me."

The housekeeper left after eating, and Wu Yuxiang thought to himself: If Second Master Lin can kill his own brother, how could he let our mothers go.

Wu Yuxiang packed up the package, took Yinliang and three children and was about to leave, when Lin Erye came with his servants.

Lin Erye instigated the servants to beat Wu Yuxiang and the children unconscious.Take out two land deeds for transfer, and a few deeds of sale.

Second Master Lin grabbed the hands of Wu Yuxiang and the children, stuck red ink pad on them, and buckled them on the land deed and the deed of sale.Then he told the kidnapper to buy as remote as possible.

Yazi sold them to the icy and snowy Liaodong.

The servants in Lin's mansion were all busy. The new chief envoy was coming to Lin's mansion as a guest. Er Ye Lin was very happy and thought it was something worthy of honor. He invited all the relatives of the Lin family to the mansion and waited for the arrival of the adults.There was a big banquet in the mansion, and the Lin family members gathered in the mansion, chatting lively.

Erye Lin was very happy when he saw a group of officers and soldiers coming in, he hurried out to greet him, and Zhao Yuanjian walked in.

Second Master Lin stepped forward and kowtowed: "Master Zhao, you are so radiant when you come to the humble house."

Lin Heng looked at this very familiar face, wishing to tear his body apart.

Zhao Yuanjian led Lin Heng to the center of the courtyard and sat down on the upper table.He held Lin Heng's hand tightly under the tablecloth, he was afraid that Lin Heng would be impulsive.

Zhao Yuanjian said: "All relatives of the Lin family should sit down."

The young and old of the Lin family quieted down and sat around the banquet.

Second Master Lin was about to sit next to Zhao Yuanjian, when Wang Zhihe shouted, "How can a person who is to be punished sit next to your lord?"

Second Master Lin was startled when he heard this, he wondered if the matter had been revealed?

At this time, a young man walked in from the side door. He was wearing shabby clothes and coughing continuously.He paid homage to Zhao Yuanjian a few times.Lin Heng looked at it for a long time, and recognized that it was his adoptive father's biological son and his eldest brother.

Zhao Yuanjian pointed at him and said, "This is Lin Xuan's eldest son."

Lin Erye was so shocked that he was sweating coldly, his face was pale, and his eyes kept rolling back and forth, but he tried to stay calm.All the relatives of the Lin family were shocked. They didn't know what happened.

Zhao Yuanjian said: "Prefect Zhang, Prefect Wang, I invite you here to testify for the Lin family."

Zhao Yuanjian looked at Second Master Lin.There was a threat in his words, and he sternly reprimanded: "You conspired to take away your brother's property, are you pleading guilty?"

Zhao Yuanjian's voice was like thunder to Lin Erye.Lin Erye argued: "What crime do I have? My elder brother went out to handle goods and met a bandit. The bandit wrote us a letter asking us to pay the ransom, but before we could pay the ransom, the bandit killed my elder brother."

Wang Zhihe quickly recorded at the side.Zhao Yuanjian frowned: "You don't cry when you see the coffin." He looked at the yamen servant: "Bring witness Li San."

Two yamen servants brought a person who surprised Lin Erye, and he saw a familiar person.

Li San's high-pitched voice sounded, and said: "The little man Li San kowtowed to the lord."

Zhao Yuanjian stared at Li San and asked sharply, "Have you seen Second Master Lin?"

Seeing Zhao Yuanjian being so serious, Li San was a little scared.He said respectfully: "My villain, I have met him. I am the shopkeeper of Xinan Village Restaurant in Qingzhou Prefecture. I met him ten years ago."

Second Master Lin sneered: "You are talking nonsense, I have never met you, let alone ten years ago, I am afraid your memory may have problems!"

Zhao Yuanjian slapped the table with a gavel, and said, "Slap your mouth! If you talk again, you will be tortured!"

A yamen servant came over and slapped Lin Erye, Lin Heng felt relieved when he saw it.

Li San continued: "I am the brother of the bandit leader in Xinan Mountain. I did meet him ten years ago.

The reason why I remember it so clearly is because the area around Xinan Mountain is sparsely populated, and there are no guests at Haishi.My restaurant was closed for half a day, but someone knocked on the door.

I opened the door and saw four people, so I asked them to come in and rest.I found that the five of them were wearing the clothes of bandits from the Xinan Mountains, but they didn't recognize me.Which bandit on the mountain can not recognize me, I am the elder brother of the leader, I think there is a ghost here.

I eavesdropped on their door, and I found out their plan, explaining that they were going to kill people in the woods of the Xinan Mountain Village. "

Li San thought at the time that they were wearing bandit clothes, and they were trying to frame my younger brother.Erye Lin wrote a blackmail letter, signed by the bandit from Xinan Mountain.

He handed over to one of the young men to send it to the Lin family tomorrow morning.Li San gave the young man laxatives and told him to run to the toilet to relieve himself.

Li San took the opportunity to copy a copy of the letter.Keep the original letter and put the copy in his backpack.The address of this letter is Jiangnan, and it says that the ransom will be paid the day after tomorrow.

Li San hurriedly sent the original letter to Xinan Mountain, and his younger brother Li Qiang went down the mountain overnight after receiving the letter.

Li Qiang said: "I don't know who this group of people are. It would be fine if they killed ordinary people, but if they were high-ranking officials, it would be bad. I can't be framed." '

But they were still a step too late, the sky was already dawn.When they arrived, Lin Xuan had already been killed in the mountain at the west end of the cottage. He had been hacked dozens of times, his flesh was mutilated, and the murderer was extremely cruel.Li San and Li Qiang searched the grassland and woods for a long time to see if there were any traces left by the murderer.

Li Qiang picked up a piece of jade under the body of the deceased and put it away as evidence.

They walked to the woods again, and there were three corpses of the killer brought by Lin Erye.Li San thought it was a murder.Li Qiang took the letter and jade away, thinking that someone would seek revenge in the future, so he could have evidence.

Lin Heng clenched his fists tightly, he couldn't wait for a moment, he wanted to rush over and kill this second master Lin.

Zhao Yuanjian whispered: "Calm down, it's not over yet."

Some quarrels broke out among the relatives of the Lin family, some believed and some did not.

Second Master Lin blushed, and he shouted: "This is a false accusation, a false accusation! The bandit leader must be trying to shirk his responsibility."
