Chapter 62 Rumors Are Flying
This is true, and this is something that Yun Yaru has not yet fully understood. However, although there are footprints in these two places, they are not complete, which makes her unable to make a specific judgment for the time being, so she has to copy it back first and make plans.
In this way, the case may become more complicated.
Ye Sicheng... Han Fuxiu... Jing'an Temple... Jingde... These five clues of the threatening letter were unconsciously mixed up.
But why did the murderer commit the crime earlier than the intimidation letter? Moreover, the place where the crime was committed has changed a little, but roughly, it seems that there are still many similarities in the two cases.
"Then do you still want to stay in the Han Mansion?" Mu Zehao couldn't help but yawn.
If he hadn't accompanied Yun Yaru this time, he wouldn't have come to the Han Mansion.
"No need for now, wait until the old coroner re-examination will be discussed." Yun Yaru shook her head, and she was also a little sleepy at this time.
Yun Yaru has a kind attitude, "But, please tell Lord Han later, and this county will go back to the county government first."
"The young man first sent County Magistrate Yun and Mr. Chu out of the mansion, and then went back to reply to the master." The housekeeper of the Han family thought for a while, and then made a gesture of inviting him.
Butler Han has been staying in Yu County, so he didn't know that the young master Chu in front of him was Mu Zehao, the free-spirited king of the Kingdom of Heaven.
...
There were still a few remaining stars in the dark sky, and the earth was shrouded in a layer of veil. A long dark red belt appeared on the narrow dark red belt. Some people had already started to set up stalls to sell breakfast on the street.
As soon as he returned to the county government, Yun Yaru found that Zhan Zhao had returned.
"Sir, I just heard that someone's death looks are somewhat similar to that of Ye Sicheng before." Zhan Zhao nodded.
"Yes, this body was just sent to the coroner's room by the yamen runners, waiting for the old coroner to re-examination of him." Yun Yaru pointed.
When Yun Yaru saw that Zhan Zhao had something to say, she quickly interrupted her. She was really hungry after being busy for so long. "Brother Zhan, let's chat while having breakfast later."
Zhan Zhao didn't say much when he saw this. Soon a few people went to the side hall and had a simple breakfast.
"Brother Zhan, tell me, have you discovered any new clues?"
"Sir, that's not! When I went to Jing'an Temple, I happened to meet the Han Lie-shoulder who was wearing a masked man." Zhan Zhao quickly finished eating the bun in his mouth and then opened his mouth.
"Oh, it seems that you have gained something. Now there is still some time. Brother Zhan might as well tell me briefly."
So Zhan Zhao quickly told Yun Yaru about the incident.
Yun Yaru knew what was going on at this time, and thought to herself that today, it was fortunate that Brother Chu's secret guard was there. It seemed that she still lacked people. Now she just hopes that the system can help her solve her urgent problems.
"It seems that I have to find out about some of the situation last night after I finish my meal." Mu Zehao was a little depressed, but he didn't expect that he would know about this from Zhan Zhao's mouth.
Actually, it’s not Han Lie that he really accompanied Yun Yaru to Han Mansion when he came back. Han Lie had no chance to report like him.
Han Lie didn't know at this time that he had been secretly recorded in the prince's heart.
"You two think that after this case appears, will the things mentioned in the threatening letter happen?" Yun Yaru took a sip of soy milk.
Mu Zehao put down the chopsticks in his hand and thought for a while, "I think the possibility should not be great, but we still need to pay attention. After all, no one knows what the murderer is going to do next."
"Brother Chu, what you said makes sense. It seems that we must solve these two cases before the date indicated in the intimidation letter." Yun Yaru felt a sense of urgency in an instant.
Zhan Zhao also felt that the case was becoming more complicated, but he was still confused. How could these two scholars who were about to take the scientific examination this year die suddenly one after another? Moreover, the deceased had a somewhat hairy smile on his face, and he felt a little weird no matter how he thought about it.
...
Time flies very quickly, and the three of them finished their breakfast shortly after, and the sky completely brightens.
"Sir, it's not good. Now these two cases are spread everywhere." Captain Xiao hurriedly ran towards the place.
"Captain Xiao, don't panic. First drink a glass of water to suppress your shock, and then talk slowly." Yun Yaru hurriedly handed a glass of clear water when she saw Captain Xiao with a anxious look on her face.
At this time, Captain Xiao was not polite. After taking the cup with both hands, he drank all the water in the cup in one breath.
"The case in the Han Mansion will not be spread so soon, right?" Yun Yaru felt something was wrong.
"Yes, when Bei Zhi was buying sauce pancakes outside, he heard someone discussing it there." Captain Xiao was also a little confused.
"I don't think that Lord Han Zuhan and Mrs. Han would allow such a thing to be directly transmitted." Yun Yaru thought for a while.
Mu Zehao agreed with this, "A person who died in the family of these wealthy families, especially those masters in the family, generally will not allow servants to spread the word everywhere."
"Then if you say this, someone must have spread the news of Han Fuxiu's death as soon as possible, otherwise they would not have been aroused so soon." Yun Yaru couldn't help frowning.
"In this case, it may have a very bad impact on our next investigation." Zhan Zhao touched his nose with his fingers.
"Captain Xiao, what did those people discuss specifically?"
"Reporting to the Lord, the people can tell that they are a bit evil now, saying that there is a ghost, which makes Ye Sicheng and Han Fuxiu die without realizing it. Otherwise, they would not have thought of why the person died and there was a smile on their faces."
"Isn't this a nonsense?" Mu Zehao couldn't help but swear.
"This is a bit evil, why is it connected with the ghost?" Zhan Zhao was a little puzzled.
"Captain Xiao, have you checked? Did Ye Sicheng and Han Fuxiu know each other during their lifetime?"
"After returning to the adults, I sent the yamen runners to Qingyang Academy to inquire. Although they were both students there, it seemed that they were not very familiar with each other."
"Han Fuxiu had ever made enemies in Qingyang Academy, or had any disputes with others?"
"It's strange to say that the scholars Ye Sicheng and Han Fuxiu are both popular. They have never heard of any disputes with others in the academy, let alone making enemies. Moreover, the teachers in the academy were shocked after hearing about this."
Hearing what Captain Xiao said, Yun Yaru couldn't help but reach out and pressed her temple hard. This was because the cause of the two people's death was not found at all.
Yun Yaru was a little confused. Why did two scholars who were usually well-known in popularity die one after another? Is it really related to Jingde she met in Jing'an Temple before?
But if it is related, why did they kill two scholars who are powerless? It would not have anything to do with this imperial examination? But as the parent official of Yu County, why did she not get any news at all?
There are also those who suddenly appeared in Yu County. What is their real purpose in coming to Yu County?
The more Yun Yaru thought about it, the more she felt her head was a little dizzy, and she had to let Hongye make a cup of strong tea for herself to drink.
"Brother Yun sees your spirit, it wouldn't be too late to take a break and then investigate the case." Mu Zehao noticed that Yun Yaru's expression was wrong and said quickly.
"It's okay, I'll drink more strong tea later, I believe there should be no big problem." Yun Yaru shook her head.
Since Yun Yaru said so, although Mu Zehao still felt a little distressed, he did not persuade her again.
"You guys go out with me!" Yun Yaru thought for a while, but stood up and walked out.
"Brother Yun, I have something to deal with, so I won't go!" Mu Zehao looked at Yun Yaru.
Yun Yaru nodded, then turned to the gate of the county government. At this time, the sky had already started to light up. The shopkeepers and the shopkeepers on both sides of the street greeted Yun Yaru warmly, "Mr. Yun, I came out very early today."
"Oh, sir, the Caomin family's children are also preparing to take the imperial examination this year. I wonder if there will be any accident?"
"Don't panic, fellow villagers. This county will do its best to find the murderer so that the two dead will remain peaceful." Yun Yaru waved to them.
Mr. Guo, who was making a baked cake, heard this and quickly put down his work, "Sir, if this happens, I'm afraid those scholars will flee from our Yu County."
"Dad Guo, who did you listen to this?" Yun Yaru was a little confused.
So Mr. Guo told the rumors he heard when he entered the city this morning. At this time, Yun Yaru also noticed something was wrong, but she didn't know why anyone hurt the innocent scholars?
"Sir, you may not know that when Xiaomin passed by Qingyang Academy, he found that there were suddenly more servants outside." The thin old fifth man who was selling noodles on the side also spoke at this time.
"Yes, my wife heard from people that these two young scholars were entangled by female ghosts, so they died outside for no reason." Aunt Tao, who was selling buns beside her.
"Aunt Tao is right. If it weren't for being entangled by the female ghost, why did they die and still have a satisfied smile on their faces?" A young man with a guy who looked like a guy suddenly spoke.
"Sir, you have to check it out carefully, otherwise the young young people in our county will not dare to go out." The thin old fifth person selling noodles looked at Yun Yaru.
Yun Yaru felt that some people did not want to see the peace in Yuxian County, which made people kill the scholar, causing chaos so that she could make her lose her hands and feet when dealing with things.
"Is it her stepmother, Princess Chaoyang, or the mastermind behind the killing of her brother?" Yun Yaru thought for a while, and then felt something was wrong. After all, Yuxian is so far away, they shouldn't have found her so quickly.
Thinking of this, Yun Yaru decided to take her group back to the county government.
"Sir, the murderer behind this may not be simple." Seeing this, Zhan Zhao guessed the intention of those people to do so.
"Yes, sir, this is not intentionally provoking the prestige of our county government. This person is punished." Captain Xiao also thought of the reason at this time, and his face became even more indignant.
He knew that since the new Yun County Magistrate took office, several cases have been solved one after another, making the lives of the people finally smooth.
If someone really thinks this way, Captain Xiao is a little reluctant to imagine what will happen in Yu County in the future. He believes that the yamen runners in the county yamen are just as unwilling to see them like him.
...
"Butler Han, does Lord Han want you to tell the county?" Yun Yaru was puzzled when she saw the Butler Han's Mansion standing at the county government gate.
"Mr. Yun, don't misunderstand it. This is not the old slave who heard the nanny from Caimai come back early in the morning. The death of my second son has been spread. The master asked the old slave to come over and ask if the magistrate Yun has mastered any new clues?" Butler Han said with a respectful tone on the surface, but in fact he was not optimistic about Yun Yaru.
"Old fox!" Yun Yaru couldn't help but complain in her heart, but there was no change on her face on the surface.
