Chapter 32: Helan Again
Without waiting for her to refuse, Pei Yuan said with a smile: "This case will be handed over to Mrs. Lu to be responsible, and it can be regarded as an assessment of Mrs. Lu's entry!" ”
No wonder Pei Yuan is so difficult for Lu Qinghuan, when the empress of the dynasty attaches more importance to officials who do practical things than to the theoretical school, if Lu Qinghuan can solve a few cases, it will be of great benefit to her in politics in the future.
It's a pity that Lu Qinghuan couldn't see through Pei Yuan's good intentions at this time, thinking that he was doubting his ability, so he scolded him very depressed.
Twisted his eyebrows and glared at Pei Yuan, turned around and walked out, asked Wang Erniu about Helan Xuanyi's whereabouts, and led the rosary to the outside of Xiao Mansion.
Walking to the corridor, Lu Qinghuan caught a glimpse of several people rushing over from the opposite verandah, the first one was beautiful, with peach eyes and pink cheeks, dressed as a woman, wearing a plain moon-white trimmed bearded sleeve placket and thin jacket, which made it more elegant and dusty. Immediately beside her was a close-looking girl, with a slightly darker complexion than the woman's, more delicate features, and a brightly colored garment that could not be seen to be of the highest quality.
The rest of the people were all dressed as servants, and Lu Qinghuan just swept over at random and did not observe carefully.
The woman looked sad, with tears on her face and red and swollen eyes. The two walked opposite each other, and soon ran into each other, and Lu Qinghuan hurriedly stepped aside and let them pass first.
The woman walked in a hurry, and when she walked to Lu Qinghuan's side, a small object rolled out of her sleeve and happened to fall on the sole of her feet. Lu Qinghuan picked up the object and looked at it, it turned out to be a cute clay doll, only half the size of a palm, but the workmanship was exquisite, cute and cute. She stopped the woman who didn't know, "This lady, your things have ...... fall."
The woman turned around when she heard the sound, saw the clay doll in Lu Qinghuan's hand, her face changed slightly, she stretched out her hand to take it, nodded to Lu Qinghuan and thanked her, and then led everyone to Xiao Dalang's study in a hurry.
It seems that this woman must be the Xia family who went back to her parents' house yesterday! Looking at Xia's thin back, Lu Qinghuan couldn't help sighing, widowed at such a young age, it seems that this Xia is also a woman with a hard life.
Thinking about the autopsy, Lu Qinghuan didn't dare to delay more, took the rosary in a carriage, and walked towards Helan Xuanyi's residence.
After Helan Xuanyi left Mingshan, he found a private house to live temporarily, although it was simple, but it was not bad compared to the draft house, and this private house was remote and sparsely populated, which was very much to his liking.
Lu Qinghuan, who rarely went out, led the rosary around the alley several times, and was stunned that he couldn't find the door of Helan Xuanyi's house, if it weren't for the kind guidance of the street vendors, Lu Qinghuan even felt that he might not be able to find it even if he found it.
After many twists and turns, he finally saw the dilapidated door panel that the vendor said, Lu Qinghuan knocked on the door, and listened to it for a while, but there was no sound inside, and he couldn't help but be depressed, could it be that Helan was not at home?
Lu Qinghuan raised his hand, intending to knock it again, who knew that as soon as the fist fell, the door panel opened with a "squeak", and the hand that had not had time to regain momentum suddenly pounded Helan Xuanyi's body.
"......" Lu Qinghuan was suddenly a little embarrassed, she really didn't mean it.
Helan Xuanyi lowered her eyes, glanced at her chest that was a little stuffy and was beaten by Lu Qinghuan, and then glanced at her embarrassed, and said expressionlessly: "Lu Niangzi, what's the matter?" ”
"Helan ......" Lu Qinghuan is a cheerful person, if she asks for something, she will say it directly, but she also knows that Helan doesn't seem to like autopsy, and if she speaks, it will be a little difficult for a strong person.
After such a hesitation, the words he had thought of before were completely forgotten.
Lu Qinghuan learned from the tolerance of the county government that Helan Xuanyi was not a servant of the government, but a rural traveling doctor, who had helped the county order to examine the corpse several times, and the last autopsy of the Sacred Heart Nunnery was not related to him, but he didn't know why he took the initiative to find the Lin County Order to ask for an autopsy.
Later, Pei Yuan wanted to invite him to the Imperial History Platform, but he was mercilessly refused, which shows that he is not a person who chases fame and fortune and likes to provoke right and wrong.
For himself, Helan Xuanyi rescued him three or four times, without asking for anything in return, he can already be regarded as benevolent and righteous, but he still wants to be strong, presumably he has long been unbearable!
Lu Qinghuan has an upright temperament and doesn't like to force others, but when he finally got here, he didn't say his purpose, and he seemed a little unwilling......
As if seeing through Lu Qinghuan's entanglement, Helan Xuanyi glanced at her, and then said lightly: "But do you need an autopsy?" ”
Lu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, before she could speak, Helan Xuanyi guessed what she meant, is it so obvious?
Seeing that Lu Qinghuan was puzzled, Helan Xuanyi explained unprecedentedly: "Lu Niangzi, once a person dies, the body will naturally produce a smell, if someone touches this corpse, the body will be more or less contaminated with the smell of the corpse." Although the corpse qi on Lu Niangzi's body was light, Helan could still smell it. ”
Helan Xuanyi's words made Lu Qinghuan even more embarrassed, she didn't expect that she was contaminated with the smell of corpses but didn't know it, it was really embarrassing......
However, just by the almost inaudible corpse qi on her body, you can guess her intentions, which shows that Pei Yuan values him for a reason.
Since this is the case, it is not her Lu Qinghuan's style to twist again.
"Since Helan knows my intentions, I wonder if I can help with this?"
Helan Xuanyi based on medical skills, he has developed a set of autopsy methods, which are similar to the forensic autopsy techniques of later generations, although they are not as good as the help of instruments in later generations, but they are very accurate. With his action, Lu Qinghuan is not worried that the case cannot be solved.
Of course, Pei Yuan also knew Helan Xuanyi's ability, although he was also very sorry for letting him engage in the work of servants, but Yu Shitai often had to deal with various cases, and it would be of great benefit if there was a skilled servant to help.
On that day, he went to visit Helan Xuanyi in person, but in the end he was rejected, Pei Yuan believed that it was not that Helan Xuanyi looked down on this business, but because he didn't want to go back to Chang'an.
For him, Chang'an is not only a place of memory, but also a place of sadness.
asked Lu Qinghuan to invite Helan Xuanyi, of course, Pei Yuan expected that he would not refuse her lightly, not for anything else, just because he was in a trance for a moment when he looked at her.
Pei Yuan's ability to control people's hearts is more exquisite than his skill in solving cases, and he believes that this judgment will not be wrong.
Within an hour, when Lu Qinghuan led Helan Xuanyi into Xiao Dalang's study, Pei Yuan knew that this time he had guessed correctly again.
He smiled lightly, put the teacup in his hand on the table, then stood up and greeted him personally, and saluted respectfully to Helan Xuanyi: "Disturbing Shu Ming, it's really a sin!" ”
"Pei Erlang, this is the last time."
Calling him Pei Erlang is naturally to show that this autopsy is just a friend helping each other, not being afraid of his identity.
