It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 397 Bamboo Shadow
Wang Xiu was already trembling, but the shocker landed on his desk, and he was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

"Wang Zhi County is really a talented person!" Yuan Mu 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 cannot be investigated and cleared up, and they are thrown away in a mess. To the Criminal Division!

That being the case, why don't Mr. Wang retire to his hometown after this incident to enjoy the blessings!Here the imperial court will appoint another one! "

Wang Xiu was startled, stood up hastily, made a deep bow to Yuan Mu, bowed himself like a shrimp, scratched his stomach, but couldn't say anything out of his mouth, so he could only bow his waist and dare not raise his head, that's it. Pout there.

Seeing this, Mu Liuyun hurriedly made peace and said, "Your Excellency, please calm down first. This case is indeed a bit tricky. It's no wonder that Mr. Wang can't do what he wants. Fortunately, Mr. Wang is smart and knows that he can't solve the case. It is also worthy of recognition that the gourd stirs the eggplant and the sentence is random.

In my opinion, the last time we stayed at the Liao's house was too short and we checked in a hurry. Now that we are in a predicament and can't find our way, rather than torture Xu Zishi and Lu Yingguang rashly, it is better to go to the Liao's house to have a look. Maybe there is something new to discover? "

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

The expression on Master Liao's face seemed a bit perplexed, but seeing that Yuan Mu had already looked at him, he naturally didn't say anything, and quickly agreed. Yuan Mu asked the Yacha to take Xu and Lu back to the prison. Then he called Mu Liuyun, and brought along a group of Yamen servants 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, which made him very entangled, but after watching for a long time, he found that Yuan Mu didn't bring anyone from the county government with him, so he used this as an excuse and didn't go with him. past.

He hasn't had a good face with Yuan Mu since this morning. Although he didn't dare to say a word, it doesn't mean that he is not angry in his heart, so after thinking about it, he doesn't want to take the initiative to make himself uncomfortable with the past. .

Anyway, this Shangguan lord thinks that he is not pleasing to the eye, and I am afraid that no matter how diligent he is, he will not get a good impression, so it is better to give up.

A group of people came to Liao's house with Master Liao and Mrs. Liao. The servants of Liao's family were shocked when they saw Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun. It is estimated that the shock caused the day before had not been eliminated, even if Mu Liuyun looked smiling today. They were smiling, but it still made them tremble.

Mu Liuyun didn't pay too much attention to these things. After arriving at Liao's house, Yuan Mu gave her full authority to deal with it, and she began to look around in a leisurely manner accompanied by Master Liao.

Compared with the seriousness and nervousness of the previous time, this time Mu Liuyun seemed to be visiting Liao's house, looking here and there, but she couldn't tell what she was focusing on.

Master Liao has been accompanying Mu Liuyun to look here and there, trying to observe Mu Liuyun's intentions quietly, but after watching for a long time, he just couldn't see what the official who promoted the punishment wanted. doing what.

After going around and around, they finally came to the main house of Master 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 of Jiangzhou’s generation is not particularly suitable for the growth of bamboo, the bamboo grows thin and small. Behind that piece of bamboo is a The rockery 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 Master Liao’s study, the smaller one in the middle is a small living room, it is estimated that it is usually used to entertain some female relatives who come to the house, and the one on the right One is a bedroom for two people.

Mu Liuyun took a look, walked to the door of the bedroom, stood not far from the window, and looked around: "The location of Master Liao's bedroom is really wonderful! The window is facing the pillars, looking at the room. At night, if the moon is shining brightly, you should be able to see the bamboo shadows in the house, right?"

"That's right." Although Master Liao didn't have any intention of boasting now, he was not ashamed to respond when people saw the ingenuity he had arranged at the beginning. He nodded and admitted Mu Liuyun's speculation.

"So, that night, when Master Liao and Mrs. Liao saw ghosts, it was this window?" Mu Liuyun asked again.

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

"My lord Wang spoke sloppily before, I wonder if Master Liao can describe the situation that night for me again?" Mu Liuyun asked.

Master Liao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That night, after the two of us woke up, we found a ghost outside the window and crying. My wife was terrified. I was about to go out to have a look when I heard a ghost. Crying and calling for father and mother, my wife thought it was Wen Bo's ghost who had returned, so she didn't allow me to go out, for fear that I would scare him away.

The ghost was crying miserably all the time, my wife asked him what was wrong, his voice sounded trembling, he kept saying he was cold, he kept calling his father and mother, and then disappeared.

At that time, I quickly put on my clothes and chased him out, but I didn't see anything. I also checked the bedside, but found no footprints or anything like that. My wife even believed that Wen Bai's soul had returned, and she was crying badly.

I was skeptical at first, but later I found Wen Bai's body in the wooden box in the study, and I don't know where the Jifu went, so I only wore thin clothes. My wife was sure that it was Wen Bai's dream, I can't say anything to refute. "

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

"The ghost's voice trembled violently. We were both shocked and frightened at the time. I'm not sure if it's the same as Wen Bai's usual voice." Master Liao said vaguely.

"Oh? If that's the case, why do Mr. Liao and Mrs. Liao firmly believe that the ghost is the dead Liao Wenbo?"

"Because when the ghost called us from outside the window, it was exactly the same name as when my son was young." Master Liao said, feeling a little sad, couldn't help but turned his back, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and re-appeared. Restraining his emotions, he said to Mu Liuyun, "When my son was young, he couldn't speak clearly, so when he was called mother, he was called Nang, and when he was called father, he was called differently from others. It was not until he was two or three years old. gradually getting better.

So I was still a little hesitant at first, but when I heard the cry, my wife and I were in a mess, and we couldn't think about anything else! "
