Uncle He first tiptoed to confirm the closed courtyard door, and then muttered in a low voice: "This Yan Xiaoliu, who never closes the door during the day on weekdays, has done a good deed today, why did he hide as soon as the gate was closed, it's really a strange thing." ”

Hearing this, Fang Ming retracted his right leg that had walked into the courtyard and retreated to the outside of the courtyard. Although this temporary change was urgent, it didn't seem to be very wise, which directly caused Friday and Wu Liu, who were following behind, to have no time to react and crashed straight into it.

"Ouch! Why did you stop?"

"It's okay, fifth brother, are you okay, my lord?"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just remembered something. Uncle He is old, and he has worked tirelessly to report to the official today, and he should be rewarded. Fang Ming said, taking out five taels of silver from his arms. "Fang Ming didn't bring much, just five taels, and I hope that Uncle He won't dislike it. ”

As soon as Fang Ming finished speaking, the crowd that had been silent for a moment instantly boiled.

"Ahh......hh

"Five taels of silver, that's enough for me to spend half a year......"

"Why don't you think I'm so lucky?"

"Hey, you don't have this luck? You didn't see the hard work of He Lao getting up early and selling early......

"Hey! It's such a reason~ If you want this silver, then you have to be able to afford it! There are few people in the entire Jinxi County who can get up earlier than He Lao......"

"Then why is it the crime scene that Yan Xiaoliu first discovered......

"This ......"

......

Hearing the envy in the crowd, Uncle He was very useless, he trembled his hands, and politely refused: "No! The scene of this crime was not discovered by the old man first, and the report was only done out of the duty of the neighbors, so the old man couldn't be punished for nothing......"

But before Uncle He finished speaking, Fang Ming greeted him, he held He Lao's hand and said, "Money is said to be money, but compared to justice, it is worthless." Today's five taels of silver, obtained is the meaning of 'immeasurable benevolence and righteousness', you must accept it. ”

"Immeasurable benevolence...... I can't refuse that old man......"

Fang Ming handed the silver to Feng Jiu and instructed, "Feng Jiu, Chen Shi, after a while, you will accompany He Lao to the money village and deposit the silver under He Lao's ticket number." Good people and good deeds deserve to be rewarded, but they can't let the thieves worry about it, otherwise it won't hurt Uncle He. ”

Feng Jiu took the silver with a smile, his face full of honesty: "Hey!

A few shouts rang out from the crowd.

"Hey, in the end, it's the master of the Qing Dynasty, and what he thinks about is thoughtful. ”

"He Lao is mighty, Lord is mighty!"

......

"The villagers have won the award, although Fang Ming is only ordered by the master to go down the mountain to temporarily take the position of the magistrate. But in any case, please rest assured, the younger generation will not fail in its mission: to find out the cause of death in Shaozhi County as soon as possible, and to find out the cause of death of Tiehan's daughter-in-law. Give you a fair return, and give Jinxi a fair deal!"

"We believe in you, sir. ”

"We believe in the imperial court and the sacred mountain. Adults, you can rest assured to check! The villagers all support you. ”

......

After some greetings, Fang Ming walked into the courtyard. This was followed by the first order before admission. "Zheng Qi, Wang Ba, please also ask the two to guard the door. ”

Fang Ming's attitude changed from kind to serious, so that everyone immediately transitioned into this case.

"Zheng Qi, Wang Ba, take the order!" After the two finished speaking, they stood on both sides of the gate. It's like a seal with "Standing Forbidden" on the door, blocking all idle people.

As Fang Ming and the others walked into the courtyard, the simple and gorgeous decoration in the courtyard really surprised everyone.

This courtyard with a horizontal and vertical ten steps square is not even in the middle of the entire Jinxi County, and it is really not spacious. But the dream of the decoration in the courtyard is definitely one of the best in Jinxi County.

In the middle of the courtyard is a small lake, in which several water lilies float like a streamer, dividing the whole yard into two parts, north and south.

The south side is planted with all kinds of flowers, which coincides with the sunny day at the beginning of summer, and the flowers are delicate, and the courtyard is very beautiful.

The ground on the north side is covered with moss, a pavilion is located on the delicate moss ground, the pavilion is carved from white stone, and the pink yarn in the pavilion is hung, like a slim girl, noble and cold.

Connecting the two areas to the north and south is a stone bridge over the lake. The texture of the stone bridge is the same as that of the stone pavilion, and the white color is attractive. Maybe it's because of my love for steamed buns, people can't help but want to take a bite.

Everyone thoroughly appreciated the beautiful scenery of this courtyard inside and out, and their hearts were tempered several times between the fairy palace and the underworld, and their eyes gradually returned to clarity.

Soon, Fang Ming issued a second order: "Friday, Wu Liu, please carefully inspect the courtyard and courtyard walls, especially fresh footprints and scratches......

"Friday, Wu Liu, obey!" After the two finished speaking, they checked one by one.

......

In the end, only Fang Ming and Zhu Li were left to walk towards the main house. As the two approached, a strange smell of fat powder wafted out of the room.

"This is ......," Zhu Li subconsciously muttered.

Fang Ming frowned and sniffed the air carefully. "It's peach blossom-flavored rouge, chestnut blossom-flavored semen, and middle-aged man's sweat-smelling ......"

"And ...... The smell of girl's sweat, very slight. "Compared with the investigation of the case, Master Zhu Li is really more than a little stronger. He was like a teacher, carefully correcting Fang Ming's mistakes.

"Hehe, thank you, Uncle Zhu. Fang Ming turned around and smiled, and then the two of them walked straight into the house one after the other.

The door to the house was not closed, and it was a little dim when I first entered, but I could get used to it in the blink of an eye.

The two of them looked around, and both noticed that there was something strange about the room. Because the decoration of the whole room is very old-fashioned, from the overall tone to every piece of furniture, it looks like a sixty-year-old man is living, but the decoration in the later period is too pink and elegant.

pale pink curtains, beam curtains, bed decorations; large vases, small vases, and tea sets of plum blossoms on a white background; a screen with red apricots painted on the wall; and the peach blossom embroidery that is half embroidered on the table, all revealing the little woman's heart of the head of the house.

Fang Ming took two steps inside, looked around, and caught a glimpse of a woman with a pale face and unclothed body lying on the pink flower bed in the northeast corner of the room.

The floor next to the bed was also littered with a pink profane garment and a torn light leno skirt.

Fang Ming stepped forward to check the cause of the deceased's death. Zhu Li stood aside and was in charge of monitoring the records.

"The deceased was a woman, about twenty years old. It should be Zhao Tiehan's daughter-in-law, and her real identity needs to be identified again. ”

"The deceased's jaw was stiff, white foam overflowed from his mouth, and there was no pungent odor, so it was initially inferred that he died of poisoning. There are slight strangulation marks on the neck and faint corpse spots, which are not inferred to be the direct cause of death. There were also a small number of corpse spots on the limbs and wrists, and the time of death was preliminarily estimated to be around the time of last night. ”

"The lower body is swollen, bleeding locally, there is a large amount of chestnut-smelling liquid in the tiger's mouth, and he may have suffered prolonged inhuman torture before death or ......"

......

Fang Ming carefully analyzed the cause of the deceased's death, and did not expect the corpse to appear to find out the murderer, but also tried to accurately and comprehensively restore everything that the deceased experienced before his death.

When the autopsy was about to end, Feng Jiu and Chen Shi came in from outside: "Your Excellency...... My lord, I have deposited the silver in the bank, and in the name of Uncle He, I can use it at will without a certificate......"

"Well, is Uncle He here too?"

"Well, He Lao is outside the door, I didn't let him in, for fear of disturbing the scene. ”

"Have you noticed Yan Xiaoliu's family?" Fang Ming asked in a low voice.

"I saw it, but I didn't open the door. Feng Chen and the others replied in a low voice tacitly.

"Well, hard work. ”

"Whatever the adults say, it will be ......" Feng Jiu said half of his words, and then there was no follow-up.

Fang Ming and Zhu Li looked for prestige and found Feng Jiu and Chen Shi staring directly at the embroidery bed.

"What a beautiful ......"

"It's as ...... as the fairy in the painting"

Fang Ming saw that the two of them were like losing their souls, so he couldn't help but look at the bed, and he actually blushed his cheeks.

"Hmph, what are you doing? Get out of here. Zhu Li is nearly half a hundred years old, he is an upright person, and when he saw the two of them being so rude, he immediately scolded him unabashedly.

"Uh~ sin, sin...... Come on, Uncle Zhu, let's go out, hehe!" Feng Jiu laughed twice, pushed Chen Shi and walked out.

But he didn't take a few steps, but he was stopped by Fang Ming again: "Wait a minute, you go out and bring He Lao in, and by the way, ask the villagers outside, if Zhao Tiehan and his wife have any relatives, if so, bring them together." ”

When Feng and Chen heard that they could come back, they immediately responded.
