Chapter 80 The Case Made Progress

Lin Xingwei listened under the window for a while. Although she really didn't want to disturb the couple, it was rare for Cao Ruicen to go to bed early tonight, and she couldn't bear this opportunity to talk to third uncle alone.

She went to the door and knocked, "Is third uncle asleep?"

Lin Huaiyue sat up, the warmth and warmth just now was interrupted by Lin Xingwei, and said angrily: "We're going to bed, you have something to come back tomorrow."

"I've heard you talking. Uncle Third opened the door. I have something to say." Lin Xingwei knocked on the door twice more.

Mrs. Pei smiled, put down the comb, stood up and opened the door for Lin Xingwei.

Lin Xingwei was dressed in a white undershirt, and he obviously just got up from the couch.It was cold outside, and she froze under the window again, so she climbed onto third uncle's couch as soon as she entered the door, pulled the quilt from third uncle's body and put it on herself.

Lin Huaiyue was about to tie his hair with a headband, but suddenly his eyes widened in shock from Lin Xingwei's actions, "You little girl, do you still understand the rules?"

Mrs. Pei smiled, closed the door, sat down on the couch, and said angrily, "My daughter, why are you yelling?"

Smiling, Lin Xing took out half of the quilt and covered Lin Huaiyue's lap, and asked, "Will Third Uncle tell me about Tu Lushan?"

Lin Huaiyue had a sullen face, blew his beard and said coldly: "General Wei won't let me tell you!"

Lin Xingwei frowned, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "I reminded my third uncle about the clues of this case. I also brought Wei Mingji to the countryside to investigate the case. I played with A Cen these days and didn't bother to ask about it. You guys Started to lie to me."

Mrs. Pei glanced at the uncle and nephew, did not speak, got up and opened the window to look out, there was no one else in the yard except the patrolling soldiers, and then she sat back on the bed.

Lin Huaiyue sighed helplessly, lowered his voice and said angrily: "That master's identity is unusual. General Wei already has a clue, and he can't reveal it to the public right now. You are by Miss Cao's every day. I dare to tell you this. Is something wrong?"

Lin Xingwei frowned, "Ah Cen is not an outsider..."

Lin Huaiyue widened his eyes and warned: "Don't say it's her, even Tingyu's case and your mother can't reveal it! Even your third aunt doesn't know about it now!"

Mrs. Pei nodded silently, and said in a low voice: "Indeed, your third uncle never said a word to me when he came back from the yamen."

Lin Xingwei stared at Lin Huaiyue, pouted with dissatisfaction.

Lin Huaiyue said again: "If you want to continue to help us, send the Cao family girl away tomorrow, and come to find me in the yamen by yourself. I will show you the files carefully and help me answer some doubts. Now, go back sleep!"

Lin Huaiyue pulled the quilt off Lin Xingwei and put it on Mrs. Pei.He also gave Lin Xingwei a light kick to make her move so they could sleep.

Lin Xingwei hugged Mrs. Pei and kissed her, then slid off the couch, opened the door and ran away. Lin Huaiyue scolded from behind: "It's really not big or small, she can kiss you..."

In the early morning of the second day, Mrs. Pei called Cao Ruicen into the house to embroider female red. Lin Xingwei took the opportunity to go to the front yamen. After reading the files, he realized that Wei Mingji had arrested more than a dozen township officials, and he had recorded hundreds of confessions. .

After Lin Xingwei flipped through the files all morning, his heart sank, he was not in the mood for lunch, and shrank into Lin Huaiyue's study, unwilling to come out to see anyone.

Lin Huaiyue brought the food into the study, accompanied Lin Xingwei, and asked, "How is it? What's your opinion on this matter?"

Seeing Lin Xingwei's gloomy face and not speaking, Lin Huaiyue lowered his voice and said again: "This case is no longer a simple homicide case of occupying land, it has already involved corruption of ink, possession of military weapons, and intentional treason. Even Xiahou County Ling Du can't be alone, how long the third uncle can wear the black gauze, we have to count down the days."

"General Wei's iron-fisted investigation has already reached the capital, and I don't know how many people he will offend." Lin Huaiyue put the rice in front of Lin Xingwei, and said, "It depends on General Wei how big the fish can be caught. It's up to me."

Lin Xingwei sobbed with tears in his eyes, and asked, "Where is Mr. Cao? Will he be implicated?"

Lin Huaiyue took a piece of meat into Lin Xingwei's rice bowl, and said, "The current evidence doesn't implicate Mr. Cao, and King Yingchuan can't hide. The one who wants to buy Tulu Mountain is a captain in King Yingchuan's army. Speaking of which, you should know that his daughter is called Huang Xuan, and she married Taichang Lord Deng's family, which is considered a high marriage, and this time Lord Deng's family will also suffer."

Lin Xingwei nodded, "I remember her, she also helped Chen Xinan find trouble for me."

Lin Huaiyue said again: "There is no one in our family in the court hall, and we don't know many things. Recently, according to General Wei's tone, King Yingchuan asked His Majesty what kind of token he was holding to ask for part of the Yangdi army. Sending more than 1000 Yangzhai soldiers to Yingchuan is another way to buy Ksitigarbha ordnance, and to recruit soldiers and horses, and the King of Yingchuan has a rebellious heart early!"

When mentioning the token, Lin Xingwei suddenly thought of the secret order Pei. Wei Mingji asked for the secret order Pei from the Hou Mansion and handed it over to Chen Xinan, so it was for today.

She wiped away her tears and asked, "Tulu Mountain is not a hidden place. Why did King Yingchuan buy weapons here?"

Lin Huaiyue sneered, "Who knows what these people are thinking? Maybe because it's dark under the lights, the most dangerous place is the safest? Meng County is close to the capital, and there are a lot of weapons hidden in Meng County, which are convenient for rebellion Pick."

Lin Xingwei said: "Then why do they still want to kill people? The land here is not good, they can go to find other places. Once such a big murder is broken, won't their secret be revealed?"

Lin Huaiyue smiled, "Meng County is flat, what other good place can they find besides Tulu Mountain? General Wei went up the mountain to investigate, and there is a big hole that was washed out by a mountain torrent near the place where the body was found. The hole has been dug deeply. The diversion canal was dug again, and a moisture-proof tarpaulin was laid, if it hadn’t been for the murder, the weapons might have been hidden in it at this moment.”

Lin Huaiyue tapped the side of Lin Xingwei's bowl with chopsticks, "Eat quickly, you won't be able to implicate your future father right now. The whole Cao family is fine, so put your heart in your stomach."

He glanced coldly at Lin Xingwei, who had lost his soul, and said angrily: "You have the kung fu to worry about the Cao family, so you should worry about uncle and me. Not only will you be out of office soon, you might also be sent to prison for questioning. crime."

Lin Xingwei suppressed his tears, tilted his head to look at Lin Huaiyue, and said calmly, "Third uncle has become General Wei's tail these days, so he's afraid of being convicted? I'm afraid he will be rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the end."

Lin Huaiyue clicked his tongue, telling her to keep a low profile.Lin Xing glanced at him slightly, lowered his head and started eating.

She acted angry and regarded the food as her enemy. Lin Huaiyue hadn't eaten half of it yet, and Lin Xingwei had already emptied the dishes.

No one should touch her Cao family, if something happens to the Cao family and she loses her husband Cao Yi, she will definitely go shopping with Wei Mingji.

After eating enough, Lin Xingwei went to the yamen again, and carefully read the files. She didn't believe what the third uncle said, so she wanted to go through all the files carefully to see if there was any connection with the Cao family. Wei Mingji wanted to drag the Cao family into trouble, so she had a plan to avenge the Cao family.

Lin Xingwei lit a lamp to boil oil, and saw that in the middle of the night, none of these township officials, including the county magistrate Xiahou's own confession, involved the Cao family, Lin Xingwei breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope her worries are unnecessary. The Cao family is rooted in Miaohong, Mr. Cao has a high position and authority, and the sons-in-law of the Cao family have a bright future. If the Cao family wants to rebel, they must be out of their minds.

Even if Wei Mingji wanted to destroy the relationship between her and Cao Yi, put his idea on the Cao family, and intentionally slander and frame the Cao family, it was unlikely to succeed.

Lin Xingwei yawned big, stretched a lot, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and planned to go back to sleep.There was a sudden noise outside, mixed with shouts, and the room was also warm, like a brazier.

Lin Xingwei woke up three minutes, got up and walked out, the dossier room was locked from the outside, she tried to yell and push the door, but no one paid attention.The situation was not right, she turned and ran to the window, there were already countless tongues of fire blazing outside.

She tried to open the window. In order to keep the file room secret, the windows were sealed, leaving only two vents the size of a cat hole, and the thick smoke from outside was coming in through those two vents.

In a panic, Lin Xingwei took out a handkerchief, soaked it with tea, and covered his mouth and nose.At this moment, it was impossible to knock on the door and escape, so I had to find a safe place to huddle, and rescue her after the people outside put out the fire.

The desk was too short for her to hide it. In the corner was a large wooden box containing countless volumes. The wooden box was painted to prevent fire.

She quickly vacated all the volumes, dragged the wooden box to a slightly open place and turned it upside down, and got in with the teapot to ensure that she would not be suffocated to death by the thick smoke before the fire outside was extinguished.

No matter how well Lin Xingwei protected himself, he couldn't resist the fire. Thick smoke came in from the gap at the bottom of the box, making Lin Xingwei unable to open his eyes, his nose was stinging, and his face was burning very painfully.

The wet handkerchief is too thin to resist the smoke.Lin Xingwei used all his strength to tear off a piece of lapel at the waist, folded it into several folds in a panic, and covered his mouth and nose with soaked tea.

She wanted to shout, to warn those outside that someone was trapped in the room.But she didn't dare, yelling would only inhale more poisonous smoke and make her die faster.She had no choice but to kneel down, put her face on the ground, and silently prayed that the firefighters outside would be faster and save her before she suffocated to death.

There was the sound of breaking the lock at the door, and someone called her name...

"Lin Xingwei! Lin Xingwei! Are you in there?"
