After Hwarang got a few names from Tong Le, he went to the Lintong County Office.

When they came to Lintong County Yamen, Hua Lang asked Zhang Duan to take someone to investigate these people to see if they had visited Tong Le before Chenshi in the morning the day after Lu Yibai was killed.

It didn't take long for this matter. After about a stick of incense, those yamen servants rushed back. After they told Hwa Lang what they had heard, Hwa Lang frowned, because these people really went to Visiting Tong Le means that it is indeed impossible for Tong Le to kill Lu Yibai.

It is impossible for Tong Le to kill Lu Yibai, and Hwarang believes that Murong Tong's killing is related to Lu Yibai's killing, which makes it difficult for him. Could it be that there is no connection between the killing of the two?

Hwarang pondered for a long time, but couldn't figure out what happened here. It stands to reason that there are many people who have the motive to kill Murong Tong, but they can't find any solid evidence. Moreover, Murong Tong died of poisoning, and these motivated people have no chance to poison him. .

After much deliberation, Hua Lang felt that he would rush back to Longxu County early tomorrow morning to ask Deng Cuiyun about the secret recipe for making tea in Dayaju.

After resting in Lintong County for one night, they rushed to Longxu County early the next morning, but as soon as they entered the gate of Longxu County, they saw a group of yamen servants coming to see them. They seemed to be going out, but when they saw Hua Lang and the others, they stopped suddenly, and said anxiously: "Young man, a murder occurred in our Longxu County last night, our magistrate has nothing to do, let us I went to Lintong County to invite you, but I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

As soon as he heard of the homicide, Hwarang stopped talking and asked the yamen servant to lead the way, and asked the yamen servant to explain the murder case on the way.

The deceased was Zheng Shijie from Longxu County, Zheng Yuanwai. This morning, he sent someone to serve him and found that the door of the room was wide open, and Zheng Shijie's body was lying on the bed, bleeding everywhere.

After knowing this, Hwarang asked some more about the deceased, and the servant also said something, the deceased Zheng Shijie had a lot of spare money in his family, and although he was almost 50 years old, he was romantic and often haunted brothels and other places. The women in his family were almost played by him.

After hearing this, Wen Meng was a little angry, and said: "Such a man dies as soon as he dies, investigate what he is doing."

The yamen servant was a little embarrassed, and said after a long time: "But this is a murder case after all, if we don't investigate it clearly, our county magistrate will not be able to explain it to the higher authorities!"

At this time, Hwarang also said: "As long as a person has not committed a fatal mistake, other people should not take his life casually. This is disrespect for life. It is better to investigate this matter."

Not long after, everyone came to Zheng's mansion. At this time, Zheng's mansion was completely deserted, and there were cries everywhere. Song Gongqing was a little surprised when he saw Hualang and others coming quickly, but he didn't ask. I'm afraid the case is quite difficult!"

Hwarang didn't say much, he just said, "Let me take a look at the corpse first!"

Song Gongqing nodded again and again, and then led Hwarang and the others into the murder scene, which was also Zheng Shijie's bedroom. At this time, Zheng Shijie's body was still lying on the bed, and the clothes on his body were very messy. As he approached, he found dried blood on the bed, as well as on the clothes. Hwarang ordered someone to take off the clothes of the deceased, and then went to examine the wound. The wound was on the back, not very big, it should be something like a dagger.

After Hwa Lang finished checking, he asked the housekeeper, "Did someone come to visit your master last night?"

The butler shook his head repeatedly and said, "No."

"Then when was the last time you saw your master?"

"It's about Xu time!"

Hua Lang nodded slightly, and asked again: "Did someone serve your master last night?"

Hwarang's question was cryptic, but he believed that the housekeeper must be able to understand.

The butler thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, the master didn't find anyone to serve him last night, but he suddenly got sexually ill in the middle of the night, and I don't know if he went to find someone to serve him alone."

"Then have you ever counted the number of people in the mansion, is there a small number of people?"

The butler nodded and said, "I counted, and there are not many people missing!"

After asking these questions, Hwarang looked at Song Gongqing and said, "Judging from the wounds on the deceased, he should have been killed at Haishi. It was already late at Haishi, but he was wearing clothes, which made people suspicious, so At first I thought he was waiting for someone, so I didn't go to sleep, but after I took off the clothes and checked the wound, I found that the wound was on the back, which meant that someone attacked him from behind, but if it was from behind, the dead man's clothes The bloodstains are a bit weird, there are some in the front, and there are also in the back, but there is no hole in the back where the dagger is pierced."

After Hua Lang finished speaking, Song Gongqing suddenly understood, and said, "Young Master Hua, you mean that the deceased was undressed at that time, and the murderer suddenly stabbed him from behind?"

Hwarang nodded: "It is very likely that the murderer was in Zheng Shijie's crotch at the time. When Zheng Shijie was enjoying himself, she suddenly pulled out a dagger and killed him, and then put clothes on him to confuse everyone's attention."

"So, the deceased is a woman, and it is very likely that she is a servant of Zheng's mansion?" Song Gongqing was a little surprised.

At this moment, Hwarang nodded and said to the housekeeper, "Call all the female servants in your mansion, regardless of their age or appearance."

After the butler took the order, he hurried down, and at this moment, Wen Meng asked, "Are the old and ugly ones called too?"

Hwarang nodded: "The deceased is a hungry ghost, and he is almost 50 years old. Those old people may have sexual contact with the deceased when he was young, so it is good to ask."

"What about the ugly ones?"

Asked by Wen Meng, Hwarang felt a little helpless, and said, "It's inevitable that a hungry ghost will be perverted. Maybe he's more interested in ugly girls?"

Wen Meng stuck out her tongue and said, "What a pervert, it's best to die."

At this time, there was no one from the Zheng family in the house, so when Wen Meng said this, everyone just smiled lightly.

Not long after, the steward of Zheng's mansion came hurriedly, followed by a group of women. Among these women, there were young, old, and of course beautiful and ugly. Just when Hualang was about to ask, the butler had some questions. He said eagerly: "Young man, I went to call someone just now, and I sent... and found that there is one person missing, she... she ran away!"

Everyone was taken aback, but Hwarang asked quickly, "Who is the one who ran away?"

"It's a maid named Yingqiong. She has been in our house for almost half a year. She looks very cute. Could it be her who is the murderer?"
