The villagers who were taking a cool nap under the trees on the shore woke up from their sleep in fright when they heard Wen Shilang's shout, and they didn't bother to pick up the straw hats that fell from their faces to the ground, and ran towards the river.

Wen Shilang lay on the shallows by the river and pointed in the direction of Zhou Xianling, and said breathlessly: "Zhou Xianling has fallen into the water, go and save him!" ”

Everyone looked in the direction of Wen Shilang's finger, and sure enough, they saw something floating on the water, still floating forward with the current.

"Poof" a few times, and several men with good water characteristics plunged into the river one by one.

Zhou Xianling was quickly carried to the water's edge, his whole body was white from blisters, and some villagers sniffed, and then shook their heads.

There was a clever person who pulled his legs and ran to the county office, such a big thing is not something they can afford, and they can't afford to save the county master's life if they delay it.

Wen Qiran arrived quickly and found that someone had invited the nearest Zhang Langzhong, Zhang Langzhong probed Zhou County's snort, sighed, Wen Qiran's face changed, and then looked at the swollen Zhou County, it seemed that it was difficult for the gods to save him.

Wen Qiniang also quietly followed, first, she was worried about Wen Shilang, and secondly, she also wanted to see if Zhou Xianling was still saved, maybe she could use modern methods to save him, but when she saw Zhou Xianling, she dispelled her original thoughts, because she saw that Zhou Xianling's corpse had appeared faint corpse spots, which meant that Zhou Xianling had been dead for more than an hour, and the corpse in the water would slow down the formation of corpse spots, according to Wen Qiniang's judgment, Zhou Xianling had been dead for at least more than two hours, and it was difficult to return to the sky.

Zhou County's body was transported back to the county office, and Mrs. Zhou cried into tears, which moved everyone present and burst into tears.

"Miscellaneous people and so on." Wen Qiran gave an order with a black face and drove away the onlookers, and his head was swollen from the noise.

Wen Qiran glanced at Mrs. Zhou, opened her mouth but didn't say anything, and Wen Qiniang was supporting Mrs. Zhou, whispering to comfort her, and Wen Qiran didn't drive her away, after all, it is more suitable to persuade between women and women.

Secretly relieved, Wen Qiniang found that Wen Shilang had been taken away by Zhou's mother, this little guy was bold, he was not even afraid of the corpse, he wanted to stay and investigate the case with his father, he forgot the lesson of the last time, and was naturally rejected by Wen Qiran.

"Chuan Lu Dazhuan came over for an autopsy." Wen Qiran said to the servant.

Wen Qiran's face was full of suspicion, and he asked Mrs. Zhou, "Can Zhou County Order recognize water?" ”

"Master, he doesn't know water, he was originally a Tianjin Wei person." Mrs. Zhou's crying pear blossoms bring rain roads.

It seems that it is not an exaggeration for a person who does not know the nature of water to fall into the river and drown, Wen Qiran turned to everyone and asked, "Did any of you see Zhou Zhixian going out?" What was the last time and place you saw it? ”

All the officials looked at each other, and then they all shook their heads, the most difficult time to see Zhou Zhixian was yesterday when they were on duty, and they haven't seen Zhou Zhixian today, they have long been accustomed to Zhou Zhixian's frequent disappearances, and in the past few months, they have almost regarded Wen County as "Wen Zhixian", so no one realized that they wanted to go to see where Zhou Zhixian went.

"Mrs. Zhou, when did you see Zhou Zhixian the most?" Wen Qiran turned to Mrs. Zhou and asked, without the slightest emotion in his eyes.

"The concubine went to Jiming Mountain early this morning to worship the Buddha, and it was not three minutes before I came back, so I went to the couch and crooked, I didn't think about it," Mrs. Zhou said, and she couldn't cry anymore.

Everyone was silent, and no one knew why Zhou County Ling wanted to go to the river alone, and how he fell into the river.

"Xiaguan Lu Dazhuan to meet Lord Wen." A sudden rough voice startled everyone, and they saw a stout man walk in, with a fat face, two small eyes, a rosacea nose shining brightly, and a pig-killing knife pinned to his waist, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a pig-killing man.

Wen Qiran waved his hand and said, "Let's see what the cause of death in Zhou Zhixian is." ”

Wen Qiniang was stunned, could it be that it was fashionable in ancient times to let the pig killer come for an autopsy? The pig-killing knife wouldn't be used to dissect corpses, and a picture of Lu Dazhuan smiling and brandishing the pig-killing knife with flesh and blood immediately appeared in his mind

I saw that Lu Dazhuan circled around the corpse a few times, opened his eyes, ears, mouth and nose, looked at it, sniffed a few times, Wen Qiniang shook his head, what can be seen from this

After examining his limbs, Lu Dazhuan came to a conclusion: Zhou Xianling had no wounds on his body and was drowned.

Wen Qi Niang's eyes were black, and she almost fainted in anger, this is the ancient way of inspecting corpses? This is too careless of human life!

Even if Wen Qiniang closed her eyes, she could see that Zhou County's order was definitely not drowned, the drowning person usually had foam around his mouth and nose, and there were water, grass, mud and sand in his hands, etc., while Zhou County's hands were empty, and there was no foam on his mouth and nose, obviously he fell into the water after death, in this case, he killed mostly, and it is not ruled out that he fell into the water after accidental death, but it was definitely not drowned, this Lu Dazhuo simply insulted the identity of the servant.

"Master, you died so miserably! Why don't you wait for me to go with me, how can you let the concubine live in the future. Mrs. Zhou began to cry again.

Something flashed in Wen Qiniang's mind, but she couldn't catch it for a while, and now she couldn't take care of it, the most important thing was how to let Wen Qiran know that Zhou County's order was not drowned, if it was really him who killed him, wouldn't he let the murderer get away with it?

Now the weather is hot, Zhou County's corpse has emitted a faint corpse smell, Wen Qiran's face is sinking like water, this matter must be reported to the court in the morning, and Zhou County's death must be dealt with as soon as possible, the weather is hot, and the corpse is decomposing very quickly.

Wen Qiniang saw Wen Qiran's concerns: "Father, I don't think it's appropriate to make such a hasty conclusion on this matter, maybe Zhou County's order is a hidden illness, I think it's better to find a clever Lang Zhong to take a look and make a decision, and the court can answer it when asked." ”

This excuse was just blurted out by Wen Qiniang in a hurry, she just wanted to delay time, and then find a chance to check Zhou Xianling's body, she didn't say that she thought it was possible that he killed her, there are many people, maybe the murderer is here, and it is not appropriate to startle the snake without evidence.

Wen Qiran thought for a while, and it seemed reasonable to think about it, but he hastily said that he fell into the water and died, it seemed that he was not cautious enough, he was on the cusp, if he affected his family because of this incident, the gains outweighed the losses, Qi Niang's words reminded him to deal with it calmly.

"Carry Lord Zhou's body into the ice cellar for preservation first." Wen Qiran said to the servant.

For a moment, Wen Qiniang felt a chill behind her, and when she looked back, she didn't see anything.
