Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Yin Lian, who came to report, thought that Lord Long would probably ask him to send someone to deal with it, but his voice at this moment was obviously full of anger and horror.

Affected by this, the weather in the sky within a considerable range of the North Sea has become more severe, and it has caused heavy rains on the ocean and land.

Later that day, Guan Xinrui, who had had dinner, was sorting out files and writing documents in the study room of the county government official residence. Beside him were the clerks and servants of the county government assisting him.

Naturally, a murder case cannot be settled so quickly. The files can be processed first and the documents can be written first. The key is that the presentation of the dragon scale cannot be delayed.

After writing this, Guan Xinrui looked at the policeman standing aside.

"Does Fu Changyu have any objections?"

The officer quickly answered.

"He is also a weakling. He has suffered a lot. How dare he have any objections? He is even more afraid that we will really label him as the murderer. He just wants to leave Haiyu County as soon as possible."

Guan Xinrui glanced at the police officer.

"What's wrong with a soft head? In other words, he knows the current affairs and avoids the pain of flesh and blood. Since he knows things like this, it's easy to entertain him."

"Yes! When will you let him go?"

Guan Xinrui smiled.

"It's only been two days. Let's tell him that the county is still chasing the murderer. For the sake of his safety, it is inconvenient to let him go. We will talk about it in ten days."

The messenger also smiled and nodded.

"I understand, little one!"

The actual situation is that except for the county government, which is much more heavily guarded, the rest of the city can be as it should be. Of course, even the so-called security of the county government is only relative, and is still in vain in the eyes of some people.

The civil servants on the side looked at their noses and mouths without saying a word.

Guan Xinrui finished writing the last few words, checked them over and frowned again, then used a pen to draw two long lines on the document he had just written, forming a cross, which also meant that the document was invalid.

"Sir, why is this?"

"It's nothing. You guys go down and I can collect my thoughts."

The clerk and the servant looked at each other, then bowed together and took the order to exit the study. Outside, it was raining heavily, and occasionally there would be flashes of lightning and a few distant thunders.

Guan Xinrui was the only one left in the study. He opened a wooden box on the desk, untied the black cloth, and admired the beautiful scales inside. Then he changed his mind and picked up the pen again.

The document this time is not as simple as a slight modification to the one that was crossed out before. It can be said that it has nothing to do with it.

"What was obtained from the murder" directly became "auspiciousness appears in the sea".

It was still regarded as fishermen's earnings, and Long Lin accidentally came to the county government office. As for the murder case, he didn't mention it at all.

Guan Xinrui looked calm with a hint of a smile. His superiors wouldn't care if there was a murder case written in the document. On the contrary, it would only add to the filth.

This time, there was no need to consult the files and ask the officials. Guan Xinrui wrote much faster. After a while, the article was completed smoothly. He blew it gently and pressed it with a paperweight on the corner of the table to dry the ink. Guan Xinrui was very satisfied.

At this time, a government servant hurriedly ran in from outside.

"My lord, my lord—the people who went to sea are back—"

The yamen servant ran all the way without an umbrella. Although there was a corridor to shelter from the rain, he couldn't help but wet his clothes in an unsheltered place. He ran into the study room while shouting, and Guan Xinrui couldn't help but stand up.

"Where? What's the result?"

"We should be at the front hall of the Yamen. Your Excellency ordered us to report the news as soon as possible, so I came here before I had time to ask!"

Guan Xinrui nodded.

"Wait for me at the door first, and I'll tidy up."

Seeing the government servant leaving, Guan Xinrui collected the dragon scales and hid the wooden box before going out.

At this moment, the yamen servant picked up the umbrella at the door and opened it to protect Guan Xinrui from the rain, and quickly walked forward with him.

In the front hall of the Yamen, a group of officials were dripping with water, and more people were helping. Some were busy bringing cloth towels, while others helped to take off their clothes.

"I said you are really desperate, going to sea in this weather??" "Yes, and you don't know how to hold an umbrella or wear a raincoat?"

"This sea will never come out again! It will freeze me to death."

"Ah Qiu." "Ah Qiu."

The clothes on the officials' bodies seemed to be stuck together, making them even more heavy. It was difficult to take them off by myself, and some of them were shivering constantly.

"Oh, the lord is here!"

Guan Xinrui arrived, and the leading officer hurriedly straightened up and stepped forward. He was also the only one who did not take off his clothes immediately in order to report in front of the county magistrate.

The current appearance of the colleagues in the Yamen lobby was also decided upon when they returned.

Guan Xinrui entered the front hall and was slightly startled when he saw this scene. Each one of them looked like they were fished out of the water.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. I wonder what the result will be of this trip to sea?"

The leading officer hurried forward.

"Sir, we fished for a long time at the location pointed by the fisherman and found nothing. Not to mention dragon scales, we didn't even catch a few fish. The fishermen in the village said that the Dragon King was angry today, and the weather was getting worse and worse. , The sea is getting more and more dangerous. We, we will come back as soon as possible."

When Guan Xinrui saw the situation of these officials, although he was not a fisherman, he could imagine some situations and knew that this kind of weather was indeed dangerous at sea.

"Have you checked Li Laosan's house to see if there are any dragon scales left?"

The messenger nodded.

"After searching, nothing was found. I also told the people in Bailang Village that if anyone catches the dragon scales, they need to hand it over to the county government. If they sell it privately, they will be detained!"

"Um"

Guan Xinrui looked at the guards around him and then at the others.

"Okay, let's change clothes and take them to warm up."

While talking, Guan Xinrui handed over a small ingot of silver, which could be regarded as a private reward, and the servant on the side quickly took it.

"Thank you, sir."

"If you work hard, I won't treat you badly!"

"Yes, I understand, little one!"

At this moment, outside the county magistrate's study in the official residence behind the county government, a figure turned over and landed in the rain. He looked around and then immediately opened the study, and then closed it immediately after entering.

This man was the murderer of the murder. He had never seen dragon scales at the time of the crime, but he had seen Guan Xinrui and Liu Yuanwai admiring dragon scales the night before, and what they saw was lingering in his heart.

The man didn't want to take away the dragon scales, but he couldn't help but want to take another look, as if there were more magical secrets in the brilliance of the dragon scales.

This person passed by the desk and couldn't help but glance at the documents on the table a few more times. Then he read them roughly, and couldn't help but smile on his masked face.

The way the county magistrate wrote it, it seemed that the murder case was not going to be investigated.

The man no longer paid much attention to the documents on the table, but began to search carefully in the study room, but he did not find it in a hurry. Instead, he soon heard the sound of footsteps and was shocked.

Back so soon?

After hesitating for a moment, the man had no choice but to jump onto the rafter with a slight leap.

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open, but it was not Guan Xinrui who came in, but Mrs. Guan and her personal maid.

"Madam, the master is not in the study."

Mrs. Guan came in with her maid, but the former noticed the wet footprints on the ground and thought that someone must have come in from outside and called her husband away.

Mrs. Guan originally left first, but she still walked around the study. When she walked to the desk, she naturally saw the documents on the table. However, the first thing she noticed was the crossed-out discarded document, and then she looked at it again. The one written by Xiang Xin.

After comparing the two documents, Mrs. Guan could not help but frown and changed her mind.

"Just wait for him here!"

"yes!"

The man on the beam also frowned. The two women actually sat in the study and refused to leave. At this moment, he glanced at several bookcases and seemed to have discovered something. At the top of the corner, there were several books blocking the way. In front, there is a small wooden box stored inside.

It's there!

"Qiao'er, do you think my husband and my father are doing this right?"

"Here, ma'am, how could Qiao'er know so much?"

"Hey, I heard that the Zhou family also has a dragon scale. My husband is going to come directly to buy it. If the Zhou family doesn't comply, I'm afraid they will get into trouble."

Mrs. Guan seemed to be a woman with ideas, but after all, she just had ideas, and she couldn't help but sigh when she spoke.

When the man on the beam heard this, his heart moved and he was slightly startled.

Yes, the Zhou family also has a dragon scale. Why do I have to look at this one? What kind of devil am I possessed? Why do I come to the county government again at this moment?

As soon as this thought came out, the man seemed to calm down a lot. But at this moment, he suddenly trembled slightly and subconsciously looked at the corner of the bookcase over there. He actually saw the wooden box hiding the dragon scales, which seemed to be overflowing. Water comes.

The man shook his head, and what he had just seen seemed to be gone again. There was just a ticking sound that seemed to be absent, but the two women speaking below seemed not to notice it at all.

Cold, cold, a strange cold feeling made the martial arts man Liang Shang feel slightly chilly, and then the chill reached his heart, making his scalp numb.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a lot of water overflowing from the wooden box in the corner of the desk. The color of the water began to turn slightly red. A woman with disheveled hair seemed to be reflected in the water, but there was no one on the water.

The woman in the water just stared in one direction in the study, where the two women were, or to be precise, where Mrs. Guan was.

The man couldn't help but closed his eyes and opened them again. Everything seemed to be an illusion. The wooden box was still a wooden box, and there was not so much blood-stained water in the study.

"Qiao'er. Do you feel it's a little cold here?"

Mrs. Guan couldn't help but rub her arms together, while the maid beside her looked in the direction of the study door.

"Madam, it's raining heavily today and it's naturally cold. You should wear more clothes!"

"makes sense!"

The man on the beam felt like his hair was standing on his head. He seemed to have noticed something. Although this dragon scale was a treasure, it seemed to be quite evil.

Was what he just saw really an illusion? Based on what Mrs. Guan said, the man thought it might not be the case.

What exactly was the voice entrusted to me in the dream that day? It couldn't be something bad.
