Benefits always make people feel intoxicated.

After receiving miraculous results on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shuntian Government Office immediately proposed to postpone the Lantern Festival for two days. Naturally, this move received strong support from merchants.

Although many people did not understand why the Shuntian government office suddenly behaved like this, they were happy with it. After all, they could continue to enjoy the bright fireworks all over the sky for free.

However, happiness only belongs to the people of Beijing. Officials in the capital will return to their posts the next day after the Mid-Autumn Festival and quickly get involved in daily affairs.

Shuntianfu Yamen, in the court hall.

As the news of the interrogation of Yang Kuan by Yin Lin Haoran of Shuntian Prefecture came out, a group of idle scholars and common people flocked to the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture, and soon the place was packed to the rafters.

"I heard that Huniu really captured the man, but I thought it was just a rumor!"

"We are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally we have a Shuntian governor who truly makes decisions for the people."

"Can you please tell me, is the female prisoner whose head was changed here? Is it serious that the head change was done?"

"I heard that the Shuntian government sent people to Puzhou, Shanxi to arrest people, but with the momentum of the Yang family in Puzhou, I'm afraid they will return without success!"

…

In order to occupy a better position, the people kept pushing forward in the hall, but they were not making any noise at all. They were talking to people they knew well.

Amidst the noise, Lin Haoran, wearing a third-grade crimson official robe, appeared in the court, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, and many scholars seemed to see their idol.

"quiet!"

Lin Haoran came to the hall and sat down. He had a plaque of justice and strictness on his head and his back was against the crescent screen of the sea. He looked majestic. He held the gavel tree and slapped it hard. He looked at the noisy people in the hall and said in his tone.

Without the slightest emotion, it was as if the selfless Bao Longtu of the past was already possessed.

"mighty!"

Twelve tall Yamen were lined up on both sides, tacitly pounding the water and fire sticks in their hands, and making powerful sounds from their mouths, demonstrating the majesty of the court.

More than a hundred common people and scholars in the hall endured the numbing sound, closed their mouths one after another and stopped pushing forward. They looked at the court in awe and stared at the high-ranking Shuntian Prefect.

"Bring someone to commit the crime!"

Lin Haoran saw the silence in the hall and immediately gave another order.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two officers escorting Yang Kuan to the court. The Shuntian Mansion Prison did not give Mr. Yang a small stove. Yang Kuan was wearing a yellow prison uniform and he did not look like the handsome young man at all.

.

Yang Junyan stood in the crowd of onlookers, and when he saw Yang Kuan's desolate appearance, he sighed secretly in his heart.

However, this time he came not just to watch, but to check the progress of the case. If there was still room for maneuver in the case, the Yang family would not stand by and watch, but would lend a helping hand to Yang Kuan.

Now there is no substantial evidence on Lin Haoran's side. Even if the key witness Wang is still far away in Puzhou, Shanxi, as long as Yang Kuan can withstand the torture without speaking, the Yang family can still keep him safe and sound.

Lin Haoran was well aware of the difficulty of the problem, so he squinted his face, looked at Yang Kuan who was being brought into the hall, and asked with apparent knowledge: "Who is in the hall? Tell me your name!"

"Yang Kuan was born in Puzhou, Shanxi, and has met Mr. Fu Yin!" Yang Kuan cupped his hands towards Lin Haoran and said without kneeling down.

Huh?

When the people in the hall listened to Yang Kuan's self-introduction, they were surprised to know that Yang Kuan was actually a scholar.

But after thinking about it, everyone felt relieved. After all, Puzhou, Shanxi Province is located in the north. It is not too difficult to make a living with Yang Kuan's family status.

Lin Haoran knew this a long time ago, and looked indifferent on his face as he said, "Chen Gui sued you for kidnapping his wife Wang. Is this true?"

Chen Gui was already standing in the courtroom, looking at Yang Kuan with sorrow and indignation.

Yang Kuan raised his head and looked at Lin Haoran, and said with dignity and dignity: "My lord, I understand that students are also people who read the books of saints and sages, and they will definitely not be able to do such unscrupulous things!"

Listening to what Yang Kuan said so righteously, Chen Gui anxiously choked out a sentence: "You... are in vain to be a scholar!"

"Quiet! I am investigating a case. If you dare to disturb me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Lin Haoran saw that he was not a source of quarrel, and immediately scolded him with a stern face.

"Student, you know your mistake!" Zhang Guixi, a true scholar, said respectfully.

After Lin Haoran settled Chen Gui, he turned his attention to Yang Kuan and said, "Yang Kuan, why did your concubine Xia Hua look the same as Chen Gui's wife Wang overnight?"

"That's the head that Emperor Dongyue bought in exchange for his concubine Xia Hua!" Yang Kuan had already prepared a plan and answered immediately.

this……

When the people in the hall heard this answer, they immediately started talking again. The previous rumors were one thing, but now hearing the person involved reveal it was another thing. There are really ridiculous things in the world.

As for the "head-changing theory", there is no market for it in Beijing, and most people think that Yang Kuan is talking nonsense.

Lin Haoran saw that everyone in the hall was not making too much noise, but remained silent. At the same time, he did not angrily respond to Yang Kuan's answer, but continued to ask calmly: "Why did Emperor Dongyue change the head of your concubine Xia Hua?"

Huh?

Yang Kuan was already prepared to be angrily scolded by Lin Haoran, but when he heard Lin Haoran ask such a calm question, his face showed a trace of surprise, but he quickly returned to his original state and said: "That's... because the Wang family is better than the concubines."

Summer flowers are more beautiful! As the saying goes: everyone has a love for beauty!"

Lin Haoran looked puzzled and asked: "As far as I know, Xia Hua is one of the red cards of the Four Seasons Tower, and you spent a lot of money to ransom her body. She should have good looks, why would she give up her face?"

?Even if she wants to get a better head, wouldn’t the head of this courtesan from the capital be even more beautiful?”

When the people in the hall heard this analysis, especially those who believed in the "head-changing theory", they suddenly found that what Lin Haoran said was very reasonable. They immediately nodded in approval and looked at Yang Kuan in confusion.

"It's not that I want to change my concubine's summer flowers, but that after I saw Wang's beauty, I felt unkind for a while, so I made this wish!" Yang Kuan rolled his eyes and immediately said seriously.

Lin Haoran nodded lightly, but continued to ask: "Xia Hua is from Shuntian Prefecture. She must believe in Guanyin. Why did she suddenly change her belief in Dongyue Emperor? This Dongyue Emperor seems to be the one you Shanxi people prefer to believe in.

A god?"

"Yes, my concubine Xia Hua believes in Guanyin, but this wish was not made by her, but by the student who has always believed in Emperor Dongyue. The student personally went to the temple to beg Emperor Dongyue!" Yang Kuan answered eloquently.

Lin Haoran took out a breath and said with relief: "So, the matter has come to light!"
