Chapter 143 The tragic death of the prefect

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the governor's mansion. As soon as he got off the car, Lin Mo and Liu Ruoshui found that Jiangzhou soldiers were standing in front of the governor's mansion, holding battle knives and wearing armor.

Yuan Chenghong, the governor of Jiangzhou, Zhang Yubo, the governor of Jiangzhou, and Wang Juyi, the Sima of Jiangzhou, also stood in front of the door, staring at Lin Mo and Liu Ruoshui in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking.

Walking in front of Yuan Chenghong and others staring at him, Lin Mo laughed: "What's wrong, Yuanzhou Governor? Looking at Benqing like this, I think that governor Lu was sent by Benqing to kill him?"

Yuan Chenghong's face changed, and there was a little strange look. He originally wanted to question Lin Mo politely, but he didn't expect Lin Mo to throw out this question so bluntly, which made Yuan Chenghong difficult to reply for a moment.

"Sir Shangqing, wasn't it what you sent someone to do?"

Seeing Yuan Chenghong a little embarrassed, Wang Juyi, Sima, standing on the right side of Yuan Chenghong, spoke, with a little bad face and a hint of coldness in his tone.

"Sir, everyone saw it last night. Governor Lu was rude to the girl beside you. Although you were tolerant and generous last night, you probably wouldn't let Governor Lu go according to your usual style of doing things, right?"

Speaking of this, Wang Juyi stopped talking and looked at Lin Mo, waiting for Lin Mo to answer, but after waiting for a while, he saw that Lin Mo did not speak, and seemed to dare not answer his own question.

Wang Juyi immediately took advantage of the situation and sneered, "Secretary, have you heard of one thing? Lord Shangqing, you once pointed at the court officials in the Luanying Hall for the sake of the girl beside you. It is not surprising that you have killed a mere governor Lu for this girl, right?"

After saying that, Wang Juyi didn't say anything anymore, just staring at Lin Mo, with awesome momentum, as if he was a strong man, and he was not afraid of such a powerful man as Lin Mo.

The atmosphere was silent for a long time. Seeing that Wang Juyi stopped talking, Yuan Chenghong and Zhang Yubo both looked at him, as if they were waiting for him to answer Wang Juyi's words.

Lin Mo suddenly had a slight chuckling on his face, looking at Wang Juyi, who was full of momentum and seemed to be standing on the justice side, and said lightly: "Is this Wang Sima finished speaking?"

"It's over!" Wang Juyi nodded and said with another arrogant look: "Although you are extremely noble, Master Shangqing, you are now dead. Xiaguan and others all suspect it is related to you. Please give Xiaguan an explanation."

"Explanation?" Lin Mo looked puzzled: "I wonder what Wang Sima wants me to explain?"

"Of course it's why you sent someone to kill Governor Lu, and how did you kill Governor Lu." Seeing that Lin Mo deliberately pretended to be stupid in front of everyone, Wang Juyi was instantly angry.

Seeing Wang Juyi's appearance at this time and hearing his words, Yuan Chenghong and Zhang Yubo's faces were a little unnatural. Wang Juyi's previous words were nothing wrong, but the last sentence was wrong.

Unfortunately, Wang Juyi now thinks he is reasonable and begins to be arrogant and speaks without any brains.

After a embarrassed smile, Yuan Chenghong wanted to persuade Wang Juyi to calm down, but Lin Mo said first.

Lin Mo smiled slightly and said, "Oh, what Wang Sima said last sentence is implied. You have already determined that it was the one who sent someone to kill me? I don't know what evidence you have?"

Wang Juyi was about to speak, but when he mentioned the evidence, his face suddenly froze and he was speechless in an instant. Evidence? There is no evidence in him, but it was just a guess from him and others.

Seeing Wang Juyi's expression on his face was strange and there was nothing to say, Lin Mo said in a cold tone: "Wang Sima, do you know what the crime is for me to commit a big deal and falsely accusing Shangqing for no reason?"

"I..." Wang Juyi wanted to argue, but he really had no evidence. He thought of the crime of accusing Shangqing for no reason, and he immediately became depressed and his momentum disappeared in an instant.

If you are doing a big deal and accusing Shangqing for no reason, you will have to hit a hundred big shots!

According to Wang Juyi, a literati, his weak body, after a hundred big shots, he would probably lose his life.

Seeing Wang Juyi like this, Yuan Chenghong stopped watching the show and stood up.

He bowed respectfully to Lin Mo, and Yuan Chenghong said in a humble voice: "I would like to forgive my crimes. Wang Sima and Governor Lu have a superior and subordinate relationship, but they are actually friends with good relationships. Now Governor Lu suddenly dies. Wang Sima is too sad, so he makes a statement to contradict you. I also ask you to remember that Wang Sima is for the sake of brotherhood. I also ask you to forgive Wang Sima's faults in the face of His Highness Rong!"

Yuan Chenghong spoke with sincerity and humility, and he used reason to speak out, and even moved out of the Rong King in the imperial capital. How could Lin Mo blame Wang Juyi? Besides, Lin Mo didn't think of letting him go.

But you still have to do a good job of acting in the face.

After sighing, Lin Mo waved his hand and said earnestly: "Since that's the case, let's forget it. Wang Sima and Governor Lu have a close relationship. How can I bear to blame me?"

"Thank you, Lord Shangqing, tolerate Wang Sima!" Yuan Chenghong and Zhang Yubo bowed together, and then Yuan Chenghong looked at Wang Juyi again and said coldly: "Wang Sima, hurry up and apologize to Lord Shangqing."

Wang Juyi was unwilling to accept it, but at the moment, Yuan Chenghong spoke, and he had to bow his head to admit his mistake. He had to bow to Lin Mo with a humble face and said, "Please forgive me for your mistakes."

Lin Mo stepped forward, helped Wang Juyi up to bow his body, and said with a happy look: "Wang Sima doesn't need to do this. You are all for your brotherhood. I will not blame you."

"Thank you, Lord Shangqing!" Wang Juyi hurriedly thanked.

Seeing such a funny scene, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help it anymore. She hid behind Lin Mo, covered her stomach, and showed a bright smile, but she didn't make a laugh.

This adult is so smart that he took the initiative all at once, making Wang Juyi and others dare not attack again, and he also looked grateful and respectful on his face.

At the beginning, Wang Juyi and others were in the favorable position. After all, their own adults were really suspected of murder, but after a few words of showing weakness, the situation turned around and he stood on the favorable position.

Feeling Liu Ruoshui hiding behind her back and laughing, Lin Mo also wanted to be with Xiao, but he didn't dare to laugh. At this moment, he was facing Yuan Chenghong and others, and was waiting for a serious expression.

After coughing twice, Lin Mo said seriously: "I know there is a suspicion, but in order to prove my innocence, I also asked the Yuanzhou Mu to take Benqing to the scene of the crime. I will do my best to solve the case."

"Yes, the lower officials obey the order."

"Thank you to lead the way in front of Yuanzhou's master."

When Yuan Chenghong led Zhang Yubo and Wang Juyi and left, Liu Ruoshui walked to Lin Mo again, covering his mouth, looking interesting as if he was holding back his smile.

Lin Mo gave her helpless look. It was clearly the disaster caused by this girl. Now, as the person involved, she hid behind her back and smiled. Lin Mo only felt bitter in her heart.

...

Following Yuan Chenghong and the other two into the governor's mansion, they walked through the lengthy corridor, and arrived at the quieter backyard. Finally, they stopped in front of a room with an open door.

After stopping, Yuan Chenghong turned around and looked at Lin Mo, and said respectfully: "Sir Shangqing, Governor Lu died in this room. I'm sorry to solve the case."

"No, I should."

When he entered the room, Lin Mo took a few simple glances and found that the scene was full of footprints and the door was also damaged. Needless to think about it, the scene of the incident had been artificially damaged.

Looking at the messy scene, Lin Mo asked: "Master Yuanzhou, what's going on at this scene? Why is it so messy? Not only are the footprints on the ground, but there are also signs of damage to the door."

Yuan Chenghong sighed: "Your Highness, you don't know anything. According to the people in the governor's mansion, when Governor Lu died, the doors and windows were tightly clamped from the inside. The women in the mansion didn't understand, so they sent people to break the door and a bunch of people rushed in, which destroyed the crime scene. The officials also had a special headache."

Lin Mo looked at the destruction marks of the door again. It was indeed caused by external forces to knock the door open from outside. The footprints were big and small, and were mixed with at least five women's footprints.

"When Lu Xingliang died, the doors and windows were closed from the inside. In other words, this was a murder case in the secret room, a murder case in the secret room, which was interesting."

Listening to Yuan Chenghong's words and looking at the crime scene that was almost destroyed, Lin Mo murmured in his heart, with a faint smile on his face, which made people feel inexplicably frightened.

I walked to the bed and saw a lot of blood near the pillow, some of which splattered on the bed curtain. This must be the first crime scene, but how could there be so much blood?

Seeing Lin Mo walking to the bed, staring at the bed, as if he was immersed in his mind. Driven by curiosity, Liu Ruoshui also walked to the bed. When he saw a lot of blood on the bed, his face immediately turned pale.

Fortunately, Liu Ruoshui had killed someone before and cut the old eunuch into eight pieces. Therefore, he did not run out of the house with his small mouth like those women, covering his small mouth and vomiting.

Seeing that Liu Ruoshui was just pale and didn't feel nauseous, Yuan Chenghong and the other two were shocked. It was indeed not easy to be a woman who could become Lin Mo's woman. Seeing such a bloody scene, she was still relatively calm. She looked weak and beautiful on the outside, but in fact she was a cruel person who had killed her.

Thorny flowers!

A question about the case arose in his heart. After pondering for a while, Lin Mo immediately asked Yuan Chenghong to confirm his thoughts: "Governor Yuanzhou, is this governor Lu on this bed?"

"That's exactly what Master Shangqing said." Yuan Chenghong nodded.

He was still trying to ask, but he saw that Liu Ruoshui had run to her side at some point, with a pale face. He hurriedly took her into his arms and said with concern: "Ruoshui, are you okay?"

"Sir, Ruoshui is fine."

Seeing that the paleness on Liu Ruoshui's face gradually dissipated, Lin Mo then felt relieved and asked about the case: "Master of Yuanzhou, I don't understand why there is so much blood on this bed? Is there more than one person who died?"

Yuan Chenghong shook his head: "Return to the words of Lord Shangqing, no, only Governor Lu died, but Governor Lu's head was chopped off by the murderer."
