Chapter 274

With such a heavy rain, it is impossible to go back, but in the small courtyard of the Lin family, there are bedding and clothes, but there is no food.

Mother Lin was frowning, and was thinking about waiting for the rain to calm down, so she put on her coir raincoat and went to Aunt Lin's place to buy some rice and vegetables, when suddenly she heard a rapid knock on the door.

Mother Lin stood up, feeling a little puzzled: "Why are there still people coming at this time?"

Confused, she still sent Lin Yudong to open the door with an umbrella, and then she heard Lin Yudong shout loudly: "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Lin Muchu looked at the door. This person was Lin Jinbao. He was wearing a coir raincoat and said as he walked:
"It's raining heavily. I'm thinking about coming over to see if you guys have gone back. If you haven't, I can tell you to go over for dinner."

After hearing this, Mother Lin felt a little relieved, and said that her son-in-law was half a son, so she didn't have any politeness at this moment, and directly agreed.

"Sure, let's see if the rain will be lighter later, if it is, we will go over."

Lin Jinbao took off his coir raincoat, and then wiped the rainwater off his face with his sleeves, his mouth nearly grinning to his ears.

"Mom, I have a happy event to tell you."

Mother Lin was slightly startled, and the next second she heard Lin Jinbao say, "Wan'er is here."

Mother Lin opened her mouth wide in astonishment, and it took a long time to recover, her face full of smiles.

"It's a happy event, a great happy event!"

My own daughter can be regarded as the end of all hardships. She married a good family and became pregnant again.

Mother Lin was very excited. Seeing that the rain had subsided, she didn't wait for Li Yushu and the others to put on her coir raincoat, and hurriedly dragged Lin Jinbao away.

Father Lin and Lin Yudong couldn't hold back, they shook their heads helplessly, went into the house and took some oil-paper umbrellas out.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the curved crescent moon was exposed. The bright moonlight spread down, and the water droplets fell on the water beach on the ground, causing little ripples.

Holding umbrellas, they avoided the puddles on the road and walked slowly towards Lin Jinbao's house.

Lin Wan'er was pregnant, and the last pimple in Xu's heart disappeared. When she met the Lin family, it was like meeting her mother's family, and she smiled extraordinarily amiably.

Especially the two brothers Lin Hao and Lin Run, Xu's eyes lit up. For some reason, Xu always felt that Lin Wan'er's baby was brought by these two boys.

Lin Yudong and the others didn't have a deep impression of Mrs. Xu, but Mother Lin, seeing Mrs. Xu being so courteous, she felt uncomfortable in everything.

It's just that she has short hands to grab people and a soft mouth to eat people. Mother Lin resisted the uneasiness in her heart, and didn't say a single irony in a daze.

When Mrs. Xu watched Lin Jinbao send them away, she couldn't help muttering: "It's weird, this Lin Huiniang doesn't hate me?"

Lin Changsheng listened and shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly it started to rain again at night, and the rain became heavier, and the rain water slapped on the eaves, making a crackling sound.

Fortunately, thick quilts are prepared at home, even if the cold wind sneaks in and cunningly occupies every corner of the house, the Lin family can sleep very peacefully.

It was only the next morning that he was woken up by the sound of gongs.

Li Yushu frowned slightly, and subconsciously covered her ears, but the voice did not weaken at all. She opened her eyes and sat up quite agitatedly.

The clothes were placed beside the bed. Li Yushu put on the clothes and shoes, and gently comforted the two children who were also woken up. After seeing them falling asleep again, she went out.

As soon as the door was opened, Mother Lin came in from the gate, all dressed up, with a serious expression on her face.

Li Yushu frowned and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"

Mother Lin let out a long sigh, and was about to speak, but saw the doors of the first room and the third room pushed open.

Mother Lin pursed her lips. Only Lin Yudong and Lin Yuxi came out and said, "Someone died in the village..."

It rained heavily last night, and the dry well in the village was flooded. A child went to play in the morning, and saw something floating on the well from a distance. Curious, he went over to have a look.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, the whole person is scared out of his wits, and there is actually a piece of arm on the water.

The child was so frightened that he cried loudly. When the people around heard the movement, they searched for it one after another. When they saw the arm, their faces turned pale with fright.

People were killed in full view, and Lin Zhiyuan didn't dare to hide it, so he immediately sent someone to report to Jianghe County in an ox cart.

The former magistrate of Xu County in Jianghe County has been promoted to the magistrate of Changlin Mansion, and he took office in the first month, and the current magistrate only arrived last month.

His surname is Wang and his first name is Yiwen. He was the second place last year. He has not been affected by the intrigues of the officialdom. When he learns that a murder has occurred, he rushes here without stopping.

General Lin gave a rough talk, and then someone knocked on the gate of the Lin family's courtyard.

"Is anyone at home? Open the door quickly, the magistrate is here."

Mother Lin was slightly startled, and quickly asked Lin Yudong to open the door.

The official positions of Lin Yudong, Lin Yuxi and Lin's father are actually higher than that of the county magistrate.

This meeting opened the door, and the yamen servant at the side introduced it in a low voice. After hearing this, Wang Yiwen hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed.

"My lord pays my respects."

Lin Yudong was slightly stunned, and after realizing it, he quickly raised his hand to help Wang Yiwen: "Your magistrate is polite, I don't know why you are here?"

Wang Yiwen looked respectful: "I learned that there was a murder case in this village, and now the yamen servants are salvaging the corpse in the well.

I'm just idle, so I walked around. I heard that Zhou Taibao mentioned your house, so I wanted to come over and ask, have you noticed anything unusual in recent days? "

Lin Yudong frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "Your Excellency, I don't know, our family lives in Jianghe County on weekdays, and we just came back yesterday for this Qingming ancestor worship.

This abnormality was indeed not found. "

"You just came back yesterday?"

Wang Yiwen was slightly startled, recalling what Zhou Taibao had said, Zhou Taibao seemed to have said that the Lin family had a residence in Jianghe County.

It's just that I was in a hurry to solve the case, so I subconsciously threw this passage into the back of my mind.

He smiled apologetically, rather embarrassed: "I'm really sorry for bothering you."

Lin Yudong waved his hand disapprovingly: "No problem, but can I go back to Jianghe County?"

Wang Yiwen shook his head in embarrassment: "The identity of this corpse has not been found out, so..."

Wang Yiwen didn't say what happened next, but Lin Yudong understood it. To put it bluntly, the murder case has not been solved, so he can't leave if he wants to.

He expressed his understanding: "No problem, we just wait at home."

Wang Yiwen took a long breath, with a little gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, my lord, I won't bother you, I will leave."

The Lin family are all officials older than him, so if he insisted on leaving, he would not be able to stop him.

Lin Yudong smiled without saying a word, and watched Wang Yiwen leave, then he closed the door, only after entering for a while, the door was knocked again.

Lin Yudong frowned, went out again and opened the door, it was Zhou Taibao who came.

He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Well, I heard that the county magistrate is here, he didn't say anything bad, did he?"
