Wang Xiu was already trembling with fear, but when the tree landed on his desk, he was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"Wang Zhixian is really a talented person!" Yuan Mu half-squinted his eyes, and his voice was cold, as if squeezed out from between his teeth, "The cases that happened in the county under his jurisdiction are not investigated and cleared up, and they are a complete mess.

Go to the Criminal Division!

In this case, why don't Lord Wang take up his official position and return to his hometown to enjoy peace and happiness after this matter is over? The court here will make another appointment!"

Wang Xiu trembled with fright, quickly stood up, bowed deeply to Yuan Mu, bowed herself like a shrimp, and couldn't say anything in her mouth. She could only bow her waist and dare not raise her head, that's all.

Stick it there.

Seeing this, Mu Liuyun hurriedly made peace: "Sir, please calm down first. This case is indeed a bit difficult. It's no wonder that Mr. Wang is not able to do what he wants. Fortunately, Mr. Wang is smart and knows that cases that he cannot solve will be reported to the Criminal Division.

Stirring the eggplant with a gourd and making a random judgment are also worthy of recognition.

In my opinion, the last time we were at the Liao family was too short and the inspection was hasty. Since we are now in a dilemma and can't find the direction, instead of rashly torturing Xu Zishi and Lu Yingguang, it is better to go to the Liao family again and take a look.

Maybe there are some new discoveries?”

Yuan Mu was silent for a while, seemingly considering Mu Liuyun's suggestion. Finally, he nodded and looked at Master Liao.

The expression on Mr. Liao's face looked a bit confused, but seeing that Yuan Mu was looking at him, he naturally didn't say anything and quickly agreed. Yuan Mu asked the Yamen to escort Xu and Lu back to the prison.

Then he called Mu Liuyun and brought along all the officials from the Criminal Division, preparing to go with Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao.

From the beginning to the end, no one mentioned whether Wang Xiu wanted to go with him or not, which made him very confused. However, after looking at it for a long time, he found that Yuan Mu did not bring anyone from the county government with him, so he used this as an excuse to not go with him.

past.

He hasn't had a good look with Yuan Mu since this morning. Although he didn't dare to express his anger, it didn't mean that he wasn't angry inside. So after thinking about it, he didn't want to take the initiative to make trouble with the past.

.

After all, this Lord Shangguan doesn't like me. No matter how diligent I am, I'm afraid I won't get a good impression, so I might as well give up.

A group of people followed Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao to the Liao family. The servants of the Liao family were startled when they saw Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun. It is estimated that the shock caused the day before has not been eliminated, even though Mu Liuyun looked smiling today.

Even though he looked smiling, he still made them tremble.

Mu Liuyun didn't pay much attention to this. After arriving at Liao's house, Yuan Mu gave her full authority to deal with it as she pleased, and she began to look around leisurely with Mr. Liao's company.

Compared with the seriousness and nervousness of the previous time, this time Mu Liuyun was as if she was visiting the Liao family. She looked here and there, but she couldn't tell what she was focusing on.

Mr. Liao kept accompanying Mu Liuyun here and there, quietly trying to observe Mu Liuyun's intentions. However, after watching for a long time, he just couldn't figure out what the judge from the Criminal Division wanted.

do what.

After wandering around, they finally came to the main house of Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao in the inner courtyard.

The small yard in front of the main house is also very elegantly arranged. A small piece of bamboo is planted in the yard. Although the environment in Jiangzhou is not particularly suitable for bamboo growth, the bamboos grow thin. Behind the piece of bamboo, there is a

The rockery stones can be regarded as adding a bit of interest to the sparse bamboo.

There are three rooms in this courtyard. The largest one on the left is Mr. Liao's study. The smaller one in the middle is a small living room. I guess it is usually used to entertain female guests and relatives who come to the house. The one on the right is

One room is a bedroom for two people.

Mu Liuyun took a look, walked to the bedroom door, stood not far from the window, and looked around: "Master Liao, the location of this bedroom is really wonderful! The window is facing the pillars, looking at the house

At night, if the moonlight is bright, you should be able to see the bamboo shadows in the house, right?"

"That's right." Although Mr. Liao had no intention of boasting now, he was too embarrassed to answer Mu Liuyun's conjecture when someone saw the ingenuity of his original arrangement.

"So, that night, when Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao saw the ghost, it was also this window?" Mu Liuyun asked again.

Mr. Liao was stunned: "Yes, it is this window."

"Mr. Wang's words were sloppy before. I wonder if Mr. Liao can describe the situation that night for me again?" Mu Liuyun asked.

Mr. Liao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "That night, after we were woken up, we found a ghost figure outside the window and a cry. My wife was very frightened. I was about to go out to take a look when I heard the ghost figure.

Crying and calling her father and mother, my wife thought it was Wen Bai's ghost who had returned, and she wouldn't let me go out, fearing that I would scare him away.

The ghost kept crying miserably, so my wife asked him what was wrong. His voice sounded trembling, he kept saying he was cold, and he called him father and mother again, and then he disappeared.

At that time, I quickly put on my clothes and chased him out, but saw nothing. I even checked the bedside and found no footprints. My wife was even more convinced that Wen Bai's soul had returned, and she cried uncontrollably.

I was doubtful at first, but then Wen Bai's body was found in the wooden box in the study. Ji Fu didn't know where he went, and he was only wearing thin clothes. My wife was convinced that it was Wen Bai's dream report.

I can’t say anything to refute it.”

"That ghost's voice sounds exactly the same as Liao Wenbai's?" Mu Liuyun asked curiously.

"The ghost's voice was so trembling that we both were frightened and frightened at the time. I'm not very sure whether it was the same as Wen Bai's usual voice." Mr. Liao said vaguely.

"Oh? If that's the case, why do Mr. Liao and his wife believe that the ghost is the dead Liao Wenbai?"

"It's just because when the ghost called us outside the window, the name was exactly the same as when my son was young." Mr. Liao said, feeling a little sad and couldn't help but turn away, wiped his tears with his sleeves, and started again

Gathering up his emotions, he said to Mu Liuyun, "When my son was young, he couldn't speak very clearly, so when he called his mother, he called him nang, and when he called his father, he called him different from others. When he was two or three years old, he couldn't speak clearly.

Getting better gradually.
