In the past, Lin Haoran would go back to his room to change clothes after retiring from court. But today, he did not hesitate at all and went directly to the back house, intending to go back to his room and change out of his official robes.

He just walked to the courtyard of the back house, but he didn't see the figure that made his heart beat. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. It was like going to the park to see goldfish, but when he got to the pond, he didn't see anything.

The courtyard seemed very lively, and Hu Niu was playing the game of kicking stones. This game was taught to her by Lin Haoran. First, she drew a word "field" on the ground, and then kicked the stones according to the regulations.

Huniu did not wear her unicorn suit, but wore a light red double-breasted skirt, with a beautiful hair style and a beautiful hairpin on it. Her cheeks were red and she looked very cute.

Although she looks fleshy, she maintains a good balance, her beating steps are not large, and her strength is well controlled. Because of this, she can kick the stones to the desired position every time, and she is far ahead.

.

Huniu focused all her attention on the game, her big beautiful eyes staring at the stone, and didn't notice Lin Haoran's appearance at all.

Besides Ali, there was also the mute girl playing with Huniu.

After the baby was recovered, the mute woman's suspicion was completely cleared. Not only was she not guilty, but she was considered a meritorious person and was released today without going through a court hearing.

Huniu was an enthusiastic girl, and she brought the mute girl back to the back house. After washing up, a slim girl appeared in front of everyone, but her mental state was not very good.

But it's no wonder, the death row in this era is really a place where people can be directly tortured to death. Fortunately, it is the crisp autumn season. If it were summer or winter, it might directly kill people.

After Hu Niu made a mistake, it was the mute girl's turn to play the game.

Although the mute girl had just come into contact with this game, she played the game well, but with a little more force. The first time she touched the stone, she almost kicked it out of bounds. However, her way of handling the stone was simple and efficient. From that edge position

Kick to the middle of the next square.

Obviously, this mute woman has a very high IQ.

This seemed to be demonstrated in the last court session. When both Lin Haoran and Sun Jixiang were at a loss, she was the first to discover the fact that Huang Qi was deaf, thus confirming that Huang Qi had perjured himself.

For such a person, Lin Haoran was naturally very curious about her identity. Especially for this mute woman to be able to take out a baby from a dead body, which required not only skills, but also some courage, and a kind heart.

It's just that the mute didn't speak, and had no intention of confessing his identity, and it was hard for him to force him to question her. Besides, she didn't choose to speak out to prove her innocence last time in court, so she might really be a mute.

"Brother, have you finished the case?" Huniu turned her head and asked with bright eyes.

"The trial is over!" Lin Haoran looked at the sweat stains on her forehead and smiled helplessly. He finally saw this wild girl at home today, but instead of staying there, he played games until he was sweating profusely.

"How's the trial going?" Huniu asked again, her eyes full of expectation.

But she didn't know whether it was because of an accidental mistake or because her attention was drawn to her, that the mute woman kicked the stone out of bounds. However, after the mistake, she was not depressed, nor did she look at Lin Haoran, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Lin Haoran did not hide anything, so he told the results and told the fact that Jia Bao had been imprisoned.

Huniu seemed to have expected this result, or she no longer paid attention to the matter, so she devoted herself to the game again. In fact, it is no wonder that her motivation was just to reverse the case of the mute woman.

After crossing the courtyard, Lin Haoran walked towards the main house, but he couldn't help but glance at the side room. But at this moment, a figure walked out, and his heart immediately lifted. It turned out that the person who walked out was her personal maid.

Since there were still some official matters to be handled, Lin Haoran returned to the signing room after changing his clothes.

After all, he is the head of a government. In addition to Leizhou City, Dianbai, Wuchuan, Suixi and Xuwen below are all under his jurisdiction. Although he does not have to personally manage specific affairs, he still has the responsibility of supervising or correcting them.

Lin Haoran was sitting at the desk in the back room, sipping the tea that Sun Jixiang had just brought, while looking at the population, land, money and grain files of Leizhou Prefecture for the past ten years.

The population data of Leizhou Prefecture showed a gratifying growth trend, but the land and money and food made him frown, especially the land which was actually declining.

After further research, he found that the reduced land was the military settlement, which faced a major drawback of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, after learning that there were Leizhou Guards and Shendian Guards in Leizhou Prefecture, he guessed that Leizhou Prefecture would definitely be occupied by military settlements.

troubled by problems.

Naturally, he would not foolishly think about reorganizing the military camps and digging a grave for himself. Instead, he was worried that the annexation of the military camps would be too serious, which would reduce the combat effectiveness of Leizhou Guards and Shendian Guards, which would in turn affect his ability to eliminate pirates and bandits.

Follow-up plan.

If he doesn't even have the strength to annihilate the nearby pirate groups, then how can he open the sea?

However, he also understands that there are indeed various problems here in Leizhou Mansion, but if they can be handled properly, why can't some bad things be turned into good things?

In the evening, good news suddenly came that the woodcutter had been brought back.

The woodcutter had indeed never met Lin Haoran. He only knew that Lin Haoran was very young and talented, so he mistakenly mistook the young scholar from the Academy for Lin Haoran.

But when the woodcutter knew the truth, he became furious and almost ran away from him on the way back. Although the man was captured, the woodcutter said that he would not reveal the truth until he saw the Lord Fu Zun.

Lin Haoran naturally agreed, and asked impatiently: "Where is the woodcutter?"

Although he could find enough evidence to testify against Jia Bao in the case of Yao Juaner's murder, he has yet to find a breakthrough in those two major cases. If the woodcutter can provide important clues, it will undoubtedly save a lot of energy.

and time.

If he can solve these two major cases with lightning speed, he will not only win the support of the people of Leizhou, but this will also become a glorious milestone in his official career.

"It's over at the county government office!" Dai Beihe reported back.

Lin Haoran felt relieved when he knew that he was at the county government office. The woodcutter probably wouldn't be able to escape. He went back to his house to have dinner first and planned to summon the woodcutter in the evening.
Chapter completed!
