The courtyard was half an acre in size. It was mid-spring and there were blooming flowers. They walked through the corridor and came under the dripping eaves. A man came out to welcome them in and led them into the hall.

Chen Lu looked at the decoration of the hall. Although it was not too elegant, it was not too elegant. He knew that this was no ordinary mud-legged man. He was probably a scholar or a low-level official who had become an official.

Chen Lu walked straight in, regardless of whether he was the host or guest, or whether he was sitting in the upper or lower seat. He sat down there and told the mute to sit in the upper seat.

The man glanced at it and didn't argue. He just said: "The guest will be here later. I'll go and ask for the gentleman."

These servants left a good impression on Chen Lu. They were not the ones who made bad noises, but were more restrained and polite. Chen Lu's doubts increased a bit, maybe he really blamed others wrongly.

After a while, an old man in his fifties walked in slowly. He stood up dumbly and Chen Lu pushed him down on the chair.

The clerk pretended not to see it and said, "I've kept the guests waiting for a long time." As he said this, he looked for a seat and saw two people, Chen and Lu, one sitting at the head seat and the other sitting at the head. They asked the servant who led in

He glared.

The servant immediately brought a chair and placed it in a row so that it was impossible to distinguish the chair at the top from the chair at the bottom.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the officer had no choice but to say again: "My surname is Yang. May I ask what your orders are to this official?"

Chen Lu had a sullen face and shouted angrily: "Bold!"

Yang Yuanwai shivered and said, "I wonder what fault this little citizen has? Please give me your instructions."

"My old man is the deputy envoy of the Celestial Empire. Why don't you bow to me when you see me? Why do you dare to treat me as an equal?"

Yang Yuanwai knew that someone had taken advantage of him, and became discouraged. He stood up, bowed, and sat down.

"Do you know this person?" Chen Lu went straight to the point.

"We know Tian Weng's servant Mute. They say he is missing and the government is looking for him."

The mute stood up again, and gestured with his teeth and claws for a while.

Yang Yuanwai ignored him and continued: "I am the head of the pavilion here. Yesterday, when it was getting dark, someone came to report that the mute killed the owner, burned the house, and fled with the money. I have already done some legal questioning to get the money back for Tian Weng.

justice."

Chen Lu sneered and said: "From what I heard, Mr. Yang is actually a good person with a clear distinction between good and evil. I ask you, have you ever dreamed about your silly son recently?"

Member Yang suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Lu suspiciously.

This place is far away from the government, and people have rarely seen officials. Yang Yuan looked at Chen Lu, and he didn't look like an official in any way. Hearing him ask this question, he became even more suspicious: "What do you mean? My son's business is yours."

how do you know?"

Chen Lu also stood up and said with a smile: "You are rude again. What are you and yours? I don't care about you anymore. Sit down and be quiet. You can't even think about what I know."

I dare not even think about it. I can’t hide the news from all over the world. Your stupid son gave you a dream a few days ago. He is doing well in Shuifu and does not want to be reborn. Is this possible? "

Yang Yuanwai had just sat down and stood up again. To be precise, he jumped up and looked at Chen Lu. Sure enough, he guessed right. This was really not an official, but a god. He knelt down with a plop and said, "The god is here."

Come on, please accept my obeisance."

"Stop, stop, don't bow. I can't bear it. I'm not the bullshit god you say. I also know some things that you are interested in."

At this moment, someone called "Master" from next door. Chen Lu noticed that the mute's hands were clenched and his veins were bulging. Yang Yuanwai said: "Please stay with me, I'll be back as soon as I go." After that, he walked out.

The mute stood up and made gestures in front of Chen Lu for a while.

Chen Lu nodded and told the mute that he understood. The man who shouted just now was the murderer. He was the chief steward of Yang Mansion. It was Tian Weng's house that he led the team to. The mute was also familiar with him. The left side of this man's face was

There is a large red mole.

They were waiting when some people rushed in, armed with swords and sticks. Some were dealers, some were not. The mute servant immediately stood up and stood in front of Chen Lu.

Chen Lu sighed in his heart that the mute could be regarded as a righteous servant. He still doubted him, but was confused by the apparent kindness of the Yang family. Chen Lu pulled the mute aside and looked at these people calmly.

Yang Yuanwai walked in and said, "Someone here knows you. You go to Guitan. Bi Laosi, come here."

As he spoke, a man came out, a man in his fifties with a pale complexion. Chen Lu had the impression that this man was the man who was waiting to drive away the corpse that day, and must be Bi Laosi.

Bi Laosi said: "That day you and Tian Weng went to Ghost Beach together. We were all there. Tian Weng used magic to fish people out and then rushed back. It only took four days on the road. We made a net profit of one

More than a hundred taels of gold, do you know this?"

Chen Lu still sat there grandly and said with a smile: "Finally someone came to question me. I am honored to tell you that you have never spoken to me like this before. Never before. You are the best person in the world. I usually

Have you ever heard of a saying?"

Bi Laosi said: "I have never heard of it, and I don't want to hear it. Master Yang said that you are a fake official and a real robber. You have been following Tian Weng. After Tian Weng got home, you and the mute Li cooperated to kill Tian Weng and rob him.

He got the gold, set a fire to extinguish the traces, and came here again to pretend to be an official and blackmail our Mr. Yang."

Chen Lu still smiled and said: "You are half right. Someone killed Tian Weng and set a fire. It was not me, old man. I was thinking, who was it? Now that I think about it, is it you? Yang

Member, is it you?"

Chen Lu understood in this series of conversations that the corpse chasers must have participated in this murder, and the water and oil must have been brought back from the Western Regions. Well, take your life.

Yang Yuanwai shouted: "Fake official, we and Tian Weng have always been friendly. It's just that you took advantage of wealth and committed murder and arson, but you yourself fell into the trap. Tell me, what do you want to do in my house? Do you really want to blackmail me?"

Chen Lu pointed at him and said: "Idiot, idiot, fortunately you are just a pavilion chief. If you become an official, not many people may suffer. We killed people, set fires, robbed gold, and then went to the pavilion chief's house.

Here you go. Why are you here? I still want to ask you, do you want to share the stolen goods with you? Haha."

Yang Yuanwai's face turned gray and white, and asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Chen Lu smiled, pointed at him, and said: "Innocent, naive, naive, naive and cute. What are you doing? Of course it's to catch the murderer."

Yuan Wai Yang already knew his purpose and said: "The thief calls for catching the thief. Take him down and send him to the Hundred Household Office."
