Chapter 89: Not upright
"The Governor spent a long time but failed to arrest the right person. It is said that the case has now been handed over to Mr. Chen and Mr. Lu. The Governor came back so popular that he fell asleep without even eating dinner!"

Yu Linlang sneered, "With all his brains, he still wants to catch the right person right away? He doesn't have that intelligence!"

"No! Even the management plan for the hungry people needs to be taught step by step by Master Lu, and you still want to learn how to handle cases? You have no self-awareness!" Jiu Jin rolled his eyes.

Liufen made up the bed for his young lady, and said with a curious look on his face, "Didn't you say that Xu Zhengnan was chasing after Miss Chen so much that he went to Chen Ji Mi Pu every two days to express his feelings? Why are you still with me in the restaurant? The singer can't figure it out?"

"It's so funny how lonely men can be." Qiqian sneered, "Miss Chen will be here soon, but over there she's not willing to be alone and find a singing girl to chat with her, tsk tsk, what a scumbag."

"Speaking of deep love and infatuation, bah, that's all a lie."

The window creaked, and Ba Liang came in from the outside. He approached with a mysterious look on his face, "I asked around, and what do you know? Scholar Xu took himself out in order to make up for his mistakes. He did everything outside."

"It's true to pursue Miss Chen, but it only lasts for twenty years. Xu Zhengnan said that if he hadn't been interested in Miss Chen's wealth, he wouldn't have swallowed his anger and pursued such a dissolute and lascivious young lady."

Ba Liang's face was burning with the fire of gossip, he came forward and whispered to everyone, "He said, despite the fact that Miss Chen is serious on the outside and studying at Shuyun Women's Academy, in fact she is a very playful woman in private."

"Scholar Xu said that there were more than two people in Hengshan Academy who were secretly in love with Miss Chen. He also said that Miss Chen liked to seduce married women. There was a scholar in front of him who was played by Miss Chen and his family was ruined."

Yu Linlang and others were stunned, feeling like they had eaten a big melon!

Jiu Jin took a long time before Na Na said, "This Miss Chen is amazing."

Whether Miss Chen is powerful or not has nothing to do with Yu Linlang. She got up after a good sleep and planned to pack up and go back to Nanshan.

I left in a hurry yesterday and only had time to send a brief message to Xiaozhu. I guess the lazy guy was hiding out in the forest again.

Yu Linlang planned to go back and continue to supervise the little fat pig's cultivation, but Wei Ling drove a carriage to find her early in the morning.

After hearing the servant's report, Yu Linlang thought she was hallucinating for a while.

When he went out and saw Mr. Wei jumping out of the car and hurriedly waving to him, Yu Linlang slowly walked towards her.

"Yesterday, we sent people to Xinshui Street overnight to investigate. We searched for traces and asked many vendors before confirming the identity of the old man."

"Many people on the street saw the Chen family's servants beating the old man that day. They said that the old man had vomited blood and was already unconscious when he was carried away."

"So this old man probably won't be able to keep up with Nanshan to bring trouble to Miss Chen. But for the purpose of rigorous investigation, we still plan to go to the old man's home to have a look."

"Since we are on the way with Miss Yu, why not go together?" Wei Ling looked at Yu Linlang with a smile, "The old man's house is not far outside the city. I will check it out on the way, and then I will send Miss Yu back to Shuyun Academy."

Miss Yu looked at her expressionlessly and reluctantly nodded.

Wei Ling happily invited Miss Yu to get in the car and entertained her with cakes, tea and fruits.

"The suspect you caught..." "Oh, Miss Yu was talking about Scholar Xu." Wei Ling curled her lips, "It has been found that the case has nothing to do with him, and he was released this morning. But this person's character It’s very problematic, and Hengshan Academy probably won’t keep him.”

Wei Ling handed Yu Linlang a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Actually, the deceased is deceased, so we can't talk about right and wrong behind her back. But this Miss Chen, the more we investigate, the more problematic she becomes. The ladies from famous families in the boudoir are very different."

"Yesterday, we also investigated another suspect based on the clues provided by Miss Chen's personal maid."

Wei Ling briefly recounted the conflict between Miss Chen and the beggar, and couldn't help but shake her head, "Ms. Chen's temperament also means that everything will turn into rain, and she will bite the beggar to death to seek revenge on her daughter."

"As a result, we went to the prison to investigate and found that the beggar was detained from two years ago to the end of the year because he could not afford two taels of silver to redeem himself. He has not yet been released from prison."

"It's quite pitiful to say that the reason was that the child in his family was dying and wanted to eat a mouthful of hot rice before he died. As a result, he went to Chenji Rice Shop and the beggar found that the price of rice had increased to fifteen cents a liter. He was miserable. I beg Miss Chen, hoping that I can buy a liter of rice with my only thirteen cents."

"Then the maid said that she bumped into Miss Chen. Not only did Miss Chen not give him a grain of rice, she also asked the waiter to beat him up and throw him away."

"When the beggar returned to the ruined temple, he found that his sick child had died." Wei Ling sighed deeply, "The beggar was angry with Miss Chen and squatted in front of Chen Jimi's shop for a long time. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he finally waited for Chen Xinlian. He was taken to jail until we found him yesterday."

"This Miss Chen is spoiled and domineering. She has a lot of bad things, and the more she investigates, the more troublesome she becomes."

"Miss Yu, do you think it is necessary to continue investigating this case if the deceased was a bad person?"

"Then what is the purpose of your investigation?" Yu Linlang said quietly and put down the cup.

"It's to find out the truth." Wei Ling hesitated before speaking.

"In order to find out the truth, we must determine the motive, process, and means of committing the crime on the basis of the relevant cases. We must thoroughly investigate everything down to the smallest detail. You are a gangster, and your position must be neutral. You are a bystander. We need to look at the entire case with a third eye."

"Once you take on your own emotions, you are derelict in your duty. No matter what, only by finding out the truth of the case can you know the whole story so that you can protect the real victim."

Wei Ling's eyes widened and she clenched her fists, "Miss Yu, I understand. I will never give up on the goal of finding out the truth no matter what."

"I think with Miss Yu's temperament, she will definitely become a good friend of my master. If you go to the capital in the future, I will introduce my master to you!"

Yulin Langxin said I thank you and your whole family!

Wei Ling opened the car curtain and let the morning breeze blow into the car. She breathed in and shrugged comfortably, "Mr. Chen made the decision to let the beggar out last night."

"And your father, Jade Governor, is really angry. Those jailers have been secretly accepting money from family members, filling their own pockets and being greedy. Some civilians who committed petty crimes were caught in prison, and were originally only sentenced to seven days in prison. After the expiration of the results, , you will be released only if you give money to the jailer, otherwise you will be kept in prison."

"This matter passed through Mr. Lu's hands and will probably be reported to Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment later." Wei Ling couldn't help laughing, "Didn't you see your father's expression yesterday..."
