Chapter Ninety-Three: County Officials

"Gong Zheng! Zheng Gong! Murder in the town to the west! ”

"What!" Hearing the report from his subordinates, the young county official slammed the table and stood up, raising his eyebrows, "Lead the way!" Send someone to keep up with me! ”

"Yes!" The young and strong official clenched his fists and took his life......

Early in the morning, the Wang family next door knocked on the wooden door of the couple's house.

"Knock knock!"

Just knocked lightly, but Wang found that the wooden door moved slightly.

"How big is it, why don't you close the door?" Wang muttered quietly, and did not see outside, pushed the door into the house, and at the same time called out, "I'll come inβ€”"

Just as she entered the door, her voice was stuck in her throat, and the whole smile instantly solidified - the Zhou family and his wife fell to the ground in each other's arms, although there was a smile on the corner of their mouth, but this was even more terrifying against the backdrop of dried blood at the corner of their mouth at the same time!

"Ahhh

Wang opened his throat and shouted tremblingly, crawled out of the door, and asked other neighbors in the village for help, "Murder!" Kill! ”

As if it were just a matter of moments, as soon as the lazy bed people heard the sound, they hurriedly put on their clothes and rushed out of the house.

"What's going on?" The husband of the Wang family, who bore the brunt, was the man who often went out with the honest strong man.

"Zhou Da and his sister are dead!" Wang seemed to be looking for the backbone of the heart, hiding behind her husband, only sticking out his head and pointing to the door of the Zhou family tremblingly.

Hearing this, everyone was gossiping, making a fuss, no idea, and didn't dare to take a step closer, and in the end, the man of the Wang family was more steady, clenching his fists, his body trembled slightly, but he shouted with a gloomy face, "Shut up!" ”

With his head lowered, no one could see what kind of expression he had, and the tone of the man of the Wang family was still calm, so that people could not hear any anxiety; Only the Wang family's body subconsciously shook and after a while, he stretched out his hands and grabbed her husband's cold hand tightly.

"All the way people immediately went to the village to look for the Tuesday of the off-duty, and the people all the way immediately reported to the official, and the others were here to guard, don't let the children come!"

"That's right!" At this point, the man's face suddenly changed, he raised his head suddenly, grabbed the mother-in-law hiding behind him, and shouted out loudly, "What about Tian Tian? ”

"Tian Tian went to Tuesday's house a few days ago and didn't come back~" That Wang sobbed, "Fortunately, the hard-working baby is not here~"

"What are you crying about!" The man was obviously relieved, and then shouted into the distance, "Find someone on Tuesday to be smart, don't let the female doll know!" ”

"Got it, Brother Wang!" Someone in the distance responded with their heads held high.

"Fuck off, kids!" Turning around and glimpsing the crowd desperately squeezing in with a few children, Brother Wang frowned and shouted angrily, immediately scaring away all the children......

And the first to arrive was the honest man's younger brother Tuesday -

"Big brother and sister-in-law!" In the distance, everyone could hear the man's heart-rending roar!

From far to near.

When the strong man ran closer, he dragged Brother Wang'er, his hideous face was cracking, and his eyes widened and he shouted, "What's the matter!?" ”

Brother Wang didn't answer, just turned his face away and motioned for him to enter the house.

Turning his head, the man froze, and his hands loosened him weakly, as if there was a thousand pounds of weight on his shoulders, but he slowly moved into the house step by step.

"Big brother! Sister-in-law! ”

Brother Wang, who followed in, hugged him and suddenly went crazy, "Calm down!" Calm down! The county lord will be here later! ”

"How calm am I!" Who knew that Tuesday, who heard this, turned around sharply and punched Brother Wang fiercely: "That's my brother!" My dear brother! Her daughter is still asleep in my house! How do I tell her! How do I tell her! ”

He roared, reaching out for another punch!

"Enough!" Who knew that Brother Wang also had two hands, raised his hand and grabbed the fist that came over, and then roared with a hideous face, "That's your brother, but it's also my brother!" He's holding my sister! My dear sister! ”

He shook the fist in his hand and clenched his fists, but his body was still trembling uncontrollably, and a few tears seemed to slip from his cracked eyes.

Hearing his roar, Tuesday calmed down, silently walked to the door and half-squatted, brushing his face and silently wiping away his tears.

For a moment, only suppressed sobs remained in the cramped grass hut.

Until I don't know what to do, the people gathered outside the door spontaneously gave way - the county magistrate finally arrived!

"Tuesday? Why are you here? As soon as he entered the house, the county official Zheng Gong saw the red-eyed Tuesday squatting by the door.

"Master~" seems to see the backbone of the main heart, the seven-foot man suddenly burst into tears, the seven-foot-tall man in front of the public, snot along with tears, eyes are glued together by crying and spitting, like a child lost in the wilderness, crying like no one next to him!

"This is my brother'......"

With just one sentence, he couldn't make a sound, and his whole body curled up in a ball, and the irresistible pain came to his heart again; Brother Wang also turned his face and gritted his teeth, and he didn't know that blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth; For a while, there was a sigh in the house, which was naturally mixed with a little suppressed sobbing.

And when Zheng Gong heard this, he suddenly understood the familiarity that suddenly came to his heart when his subordinates gave detailed instructions, but at this time he could only purse his lips, slowly half-squatted in front of the confused and helpless man, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then turned his head, closed his eyes and shouted, "Servant, clear the field; it, autopsy! ”

Hearing the order, a half-hundred-year-old man stepped forward and gently turned the heads of the two deceased; And behind him, followed by a plainly dressed old man, with a pen and paper in his hand, ready to record at any time.

"The deceased was a couple of middle-aged men and women, with black blood stains on the corners of their mouths, and the cause of death was preliminarily judged to be poisoning!"

"There are no obvious injuries on the limbs, and murder with a murder weapon is preliminarily ruled out!"

"The deceased are all smiling, suspected of suicide!"

"Impossible!" As soon as these words came out, the sluggish Tuesday on the side immediately retorted, "Their daughter is just ten years old, how can it be a suicide!" ”

"Did you have a quarrel before?" Then Zheng Gong was not annoyed, and asked in a deep voice.

"The eldest brother is honest, the sister-in-law is virtuous, and they never quarrel with each other!" Tuesday was stunned, turned his head, and couldn't help choking up again, "God has no eyes!" ”

"Suicide is preliminarily ruled out, and the work continues!"

"Yes!"

Looking at their mouths, the corners of their eyes jumped slightly, and then quietly put them down, and then gently lifted the hand of the corpse with a rash and pinched it.

"With both hands in fists, the time of death is probably in the middle of the day!"

"The limbs are a little stiff, so the time of death is about an hour away!"

"That's all for the first time!"

After speaking, the servant stood up, and tapped his fingers on the paper handed to him by the master book.

"Note: The window is closed, and there are slight marks on the door bolt, which are suspected to be knife marks, and it is preliminarily estimated that the murderer opened the door; The deceased and his wife were neatly dressed, the house was neat, the furniture was in good orderβ€”"

Suddenly, the county magistrate who squatted down and flipped the sleeve of the strong man's corpse was stunned, and under the direct gaze of everyone, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve!

Unfolding the origami, the young county official's face changed greatly, and then he tore off the paper and held it in his hand, and flicked his sleeves with a cold face, "Come on, bring the body back!" ”

After saying that, he strode away, leaving behind the thoughtful crowd......

After dusk, in the study room of the county's Yahou Hall, a young man dressed as a scholar held a book, but he couldn't read it!

"Da Lang, let's rest early~"

With a "squeak", the old study door was gently pushed open, and the booklet walked in with a hot cup of tea.

"Uncle Zheng!" Hearing the voice of the old man, the young man immediately put down the book and walked forward quickly to take the tea, and said with a half-complaint, "Didn't you say that you won't do these things in the future~"

"When people are old, they should exercise and exercise, otherwise they won't be able to walk~" The old man walked to the desk with a smile, "Da Lang is a little uncomfortable today?" ”

"Nope!" The young man's dark eyes flickered, and then he denied, "I'm just a little tired~"

"Is it because of Zhou Da's case?" The old man shook his head and continued to ask.

No old man is a character who is easy to fool, especially a subordinate who has been observing words and emotions for more than ten years!

"Yes!" For this old housekeeper of the Zheng family, who is the famous servant and real father who raised himself to become an adult, the young man can't afford to hide it.

"If Da Lang has any doubts, you can talk to him~" The old man was not surprised by the young master's truth, on the contrary, he reminded the young master slightly.

"Serving?" The young man muttered, his eyes getting brighter and brighter, "Someone!" Call it here! ”

"Foolish! ......The young man was tossing back and forth in the study, his speech quickening, but he was getting more and more excited.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

But the tea is done, and the work is led by people.

"I ask you!" The young man stared straight at the half-hundred-year-old man, and shouted, "Check the corpse today, you can find something wrong!" ”

"No!" The old man lowered his eyebrows and replied calmly.

"Nonsense!" The young man shook his clothes violently and shouted angrily: "That poison is not unusual, even the official knows it, how can you not know it as a puppet!" ”

"Since the master already knows, why do you want to ask the villain~" The guy still lowered his head and looked unfazed.

"Humph! What a worthy old man of officialdom! The young man sneered twice, full of officialdom, "The royal unique poison official naturally knows, but he just asks why you don't reciprocate!" ”

He is just speculating, but it needs to be verified, and it's not just poison!

"Since Da Lang already knows that the royal family is at stake, why should he risk his life?" The man still kept his face unchanged, but persuaded him.

The old man on the side, his body couldn't help trembling, but he still didn't make a sound.

"Humph!" The boy smirked disdainfully, "Because those are two lives!" ”

"It's just two lives~" The pretence is still the tone of not dying.

"Isn't two lives nothing!?" Listening to his indifferent tone, the young man's face was slightly hideous, and his bearing was obviously not enough to calm the resentment in his heart.

"It's just two lives, the old man has too many debts, and he doesn't mind anymore~" He seemed to sigh, then turned around, and left without caring about the county magistrate behind him.

"You! You! The young man finally couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and his chest rose and fell angrily, and he shouted, "You are a villain!" The dead won't look for you, and they will look for you on Tuesday! ”

"No matter how powerful Tuesday is, no matter how capable you are, how about the royal family?" He opened the door and stood up and spit out a sentence, "I've experienced this kind of thing a lot, and the villain has become numb~"

"But the official's heart is not numb!" The young man laughed angrily, "My blood is still hot!" My heart is still red! My eyes are still open! ”

"My heart will still tremble for them! Tremble for Tuesday! Tremble for that little girl! ”

The boy hammered his chest and roared, "I'm still a living person! ”

"So what?" The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, but the tone that made the young man unhappy still did not change, "Did the people of the royal family move?" ”

In a word, the angry young man cooled down instantly, like an iron block that had been calcined in the fire was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water!

It's bone-chilling!

"It's just that I was young back then~" He shook his head and chuckled twice, then stopped walking and left the study.

And the young man just watched the old man who was lying on his back gradually disappear from his sight, but he couldn't say anything.

"Squeak!"

On the side, the old man, who had been silent, also got up slowly, walked out of the room and gently closed the door of the study.

Shortly after the old man left, a servant hurried in and handed over a letter to the young man......

At this time, Li Chengqian, who could finally get along with his wife alone, just quietly hugged his wife in the carriage, and his mind flew elsewhere-

On that day, when he left Xiangzhou and returned to Beijing, Ding Yuan quietly told himself that according to the confessions of those remnants, a small part of the remnants were able to escape......
