Chapter 199: Return to Lu Mansion

Two more murders occurred. Lin Mo didn't care about the scenery on the street and led Liu Ruoshui to the governor's mansion, and Yuan Chenghong also took the business quickly.

Three officials died in succession, including Qin Liangzhu, who was the military's recorder. If this case is not solved as soon as possible, once the imperial capital is alarmed, it will definitely add a lot of trouble. Lin Mo does not want to stay in Jiangzhou for a few more days.

Sitting in the carriage to the governor's mansion, Liu Ruoshui lowered her head and her brows were locked, thinking about something, and the eyes in the moving eyes were even more round and round.

At first, Liu Ruoshui thought it was Lin Mo who did it, but two more Jiangzhou officials died one after another, Qin Liangzhu and Wu Tiande, and these two had nothing to do with him and others.

What's going on?

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Mo also frowned and thought about the case. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he showed a sudden enlightenment. Then he looked at Liu Ruoshui, but found that the girl was also frowning and thinking, so he asked.

"Ruoshui, what are you thinking? You're so enchanting?"

Hearing Lin Mo's voice, Liu Ruoshui raised his head and asked his doubts: "Sir, who did this? Why did two more die?"

Lin Mo did not answer directly, but asked back: "What do you think Ruoshui?"

"Ruoshui doesn't know!" Liu Ruoshui shook his head and said, "At first I thought Lu Xingliang was killed by you, Lord, in order to avenge those poor dancers, the result is, the result..."

"It wasn't me in the end!" Lin Mo followed up the words Liu Ruoshui was unable to say behind: "Later, Han Yuanzhi's death came out, and Han Yuanzhi had no grudges with us, so my suspicion was ruled out by you."

Liu Ruoshui nodded: "Yes, I heard about the grudge between Lu Xingliang and Han Yuanzhi in Xiangyun Pavilion today. I thought it was Han Yuanzhi who did it, but now Han Yuanzhi is dead, so who is the murderer?"

Who is the murderer? Hearing this question, Lin Mo was silent for a while, and then after a very evil arc was raised on the corner of his mouth, he said lightly: "Who knows?"

Five years ago, Han Yuanzhi was still a scholar who had accomplished nothing but was quite talented. He was a friend of Lu Xingliang. At that time, Lu Xingliang was also a sixth-rank chief historian in Jiangzhou.

One day, someone organized a night banquet at Xiangyun Pavilion, with seven or eight people attending, Lu Xingliang and Han Yuanzhi were also among them, in addition to the two, the current Jiang Prefectural Chief Zhang Yubo and Jiangzhou Sima Wang Juyi were also among them.

At that banquet, Lu Xingliang fell in love with the appearance of Mrs. Lu Qi, who was the leading brand in Xiangyun Pavilion at the time. But when the two girls of Qingyu Girls said that Han Yuanzhi fell in love with Zhao Yunlian.

But although Han Yuanzhi is quite talented, he has no power and no power after all. He is just a little money at home. How could he be the opponent of Han Yuanzhi, who is the chief minister of Jiang Zhuang? Han Yuanzhi relied on the power in his hand to take Zhao Yulian into the seventh wife.

Later, perhaps Lu Xingliang felt sorry for Gu Lian and Han Yuanzhi for many years, so he redeemed Qin Manli, who was the top leader in Xiangyun Pavilion, and asked him to be Han Yuanzhi's concubine and gave Han Yuanzhi an official position of ninth rank record.

He stole my woman, found a new woman to stuff it in, and gave himself an official position. This was a naked insult to Han Yuanzhi, but Han Yuanzhi had to continue.

Lu Xingliang made a statement back then. If Han Yuanzhi did not continue his official position and Qin Manli, he would not forgive him. Then he would have to use some means to force others.

As for the specific methods, no one knows except Lu Xingliang and Han Yuanzhi, who are the parties involved, but according to the speculation of Qingyu and Lu Ying, Lu Xingliang wants to do that to Zhao Yunlian in front of Han Yuanzhi.

They rode their carriage to the governor's mansion. Under the leadership of a lieutenant under Yuan Chenghong, Lin Mo and his four men went straight into the governor's mansion and finally arrived in the lobby.

When he joined hands with Liu Ruoshui to the lobby, Lin Mo saw that Mrs. Lu Er, Xue Hanyan was leading Mrs. Lu Wu, Zhao Suqing, Mrs. Lu Jiu, Qiu Lianlian and Mrs. Lu Shi, Jiang Fengwan stood in the lobby to greet him.

At this moment, there was a faint red light on Xue Hanyan's cheeks, sweeping away the haze on her brows before. Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but guess that Yuan Chenghong should have been moistened very much.

At this moment, Lin Mo began to feel a little distressed about Lu Xingliang again.

Lu Xingliang stole Han Yuanzhi's woman. As soon as he died, his woman was given to him by Yuan Chenghong, whom he regarded as a good friend. This may be the so-called karma.

Seeing Lin Mo coming, Xue Hanyan, who was even smiling at the eyebrows, hurriedly led the three girls Zhao Qiujiang to step forward, bowed to Lin Mo, and said in unison: "I'm not here to meet the Lord Shangqing."

"No need to be polite!" Lin Mo raised his hand.

After Xue Hanyan and the four girls got up and sat down, Xue Hanyan apologized: "Sorry, Lord Shangqing, it should be the eldest lady who came to greet you, but the eldest lady went back to the meditation hall to practice Buddhism in peace and meditation, so she had to come."

"It's okay! It's okay!" After politely speaking, Lin Mo directly talked about the right thing: "Second Madam, I have important things to do this time, and I hope you can help me."

"That's natural. I'm not aware of the sacrificial concubine and I hope you can find out the real murderer who killed our master as soon as possible. Avenge our master's revenge, and will naturally help you with all your heart."

But when Xue Hanyan said these words should have been sad, she was filled with smiles at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and even had a charming smell, and there was no sign of any sadness at all.

But ironically, Lu Xingliang is dead, and Xue Hanyan and other women should be wearing plain clothes and mourning clothes, but the girls have to dress up very beautifully, obviously they have been carefully dressed up.

This made Lin Mo feel mixed emotions in his heart.

Concealing the feelings in his heart, Lin Mo said: "When I interrogated yesterday, I forgot the seventh lady of the mansion, Zhao Yunlian. I don't know if the second lady knows where she is. Can I take Benqing to see it? I can ask some questions."

"Of course it's OK." As he said that, Xue Hanyan stood up and reached out to signal, "I'll ask you to follow the concubine. I'll take you to see the seventh lady."

"In this way, I'll bother the second wife."

After saying that, Lin Mo also stood up, turned his head, but found that Liu Ruoshui had no intention of getting up at all, and was still sitting in place as steady as Mount Tai, and said, "Ruoshui is leaving, let's go and meet Mrs. Lu Qi."

Liu Ruoshui had no calligraphy and paintings. He first looked at Lin Mo with a steady look, then was silent for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said, "No, Ruoshui was tired and hungry before, so Ruoshui would not go."

Without waiting for Lin Mo to speak, Jiang Fengwan suddenly stood up and ordered Youqin and Xuansu who were accompanying him, "You two go and prepare meals for Miss Ruoshui." Hearing Jiang Fengwan's voice, Lin Mo suddenly understood something. He first glanced at Jiang Fengwan, who was smiling in his eyes, and subconsciously touched the back of his head with his right hand, and smiled embarrassedly at Liu Ruoshui.

"It's okay, sir, just go. It's getting late now. Ruoshui is waiting for you while eating in the dining room. Sir, after questioning Mrs. Lu Qi, come to the dining room to find Ruoshui." Liu Ruoshui said with a smile on his face.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Mo nodded and left Xifeng to protect Liu Ruoshui. He followed Xue Hanyan, left the lobby, and went straight to the backyard.

Looking at Lin Mo's leaving back, until Lin Mo's figure disappeared for a long time, Liu Ruoshui withdrew his gaze, sighed long, and said, "Hey, Xifeng, you said I did this, right?"

Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Madam Ruoshui, my subordinates dare not judge whether you did the right thing, but please believe that the sect leader loves the most seriously, and it must be you."

Liu Ruoshui looked at Xifeng in confusion, as if he had figured out something, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Then maybe I did the right thing, okay, let's go to the dining room to wait for the adults!"

"yes!"

Zhang in the backyard of the governor's mansion followed Lin Mo slowly walked behind Xue Hanyan, while Lin Mo was following the three girls Jiang Fengwan, while Qiu Yun walked at the end as if he was wandering around.

"Ouch--"

Xue Hanyan, who was walking in the front, suddenly screamed, stopped, covered her stomach, showed pain, and almost got together with her nose and eyebrows.

"What's wrong, second lady?" Lin Mo asked in concern.

He turned around with his stomach covered, Xue Hanyan showed pain, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, please forgive me. I dare not be uncomfortable in my body. I am afraid I can't take you to see Zhao Yunlian."

He looked at Xue Hanyan with a meaningful look of pain on his face, and Lin Mo said lightly: "It's okay, since the second wife is uncomfortable, then go back to the room to rest."

First, he thought quietly, and Xue Hanyan endured the pain and bowed to Lin Mo and said, "I'm sorry, thank you for your kindness. Sister Feng Wan and the others know where Zhao Yunlian is. The three of them will take you to see you."

"Go, have a good rest and drink more hot water."

"Thank you, Lord Shangqing, for your concern. So, that's the little concubine, I'll take the blame first." Xue Hanyan gave a bow again, and with the help of her maid, she left with a not-so-smooth step.

As soon as Xue Hanyan left, Lin Mo realized that the atmosphere behind him had become something wrong. Jiang Fengwan and Qiu Lianlian behind him also waved their hands and waved their maids with their attendants.

Later, perhaps due to some concern, Zhao Suqing even withdrew her maid with her.

Lin Mo hurriedly looked for Qiu Yun's figure again, but there was no trace of Qiu Yun's figure. I don't know when he disappeared, nor where he disappeared, but I must have followed him secretly.

He continued to move under his feet. Just as Lin Mo was about to withdraw his sight of looking for Qiu Yun, Jiang Fengwan suddenly walked to Lin Mo's side, with a charming smile in his eyes, and his posture seemed to want to eat Lin Mo in one bite.

He blinked Lin Mo's confusing eyes lightly, Jiang Fengwan held up the proud curve and said in a sweet voice: "Sir, I want to ask you for help if I have something to do. I wonder if you can be kind to help me?"
