Eight big men carried the coffin, and at this moment walked vertically along the street to the front, to be sent to the barren mountain in front of them for burial.

Song Ci didn't know why the deceased died, he didn't know if it was illness, or some other reason, but when he saw that there were many officials next to him, he also walked over.

"Old man, I want to ask, how old is this deceased? Why did you die?

The old man sighed: "Hey, it's a long story short, anyway, it's not a normal death." "Not a natural death? Wouldn't that be a homicide?" Song Ci frowned, he didn't know, why did he always encounter this kind of thing?

It's the will of the lord, and....

The funeral procession went farther and farther, and soon disappeared from sight, in order to find out the truth, Song Ci immediately went to stop it, as long as it was not a normal death, it was murder, and it was necessary for him to take a look.

The funeral procession was stopped, and they were furious, as if they were going to eat people, because this was not an auspicious thing, and they would be unlucky.

The parents of the deceased did not follow, and in terms of customs, this is not allowed, and the leader was a rather dignified middle-aged man, who was furious at the moment: "Where did you come from, barbarian, go away, or I will hurt you later."

Song Ci arched his hand and said: "Big brother, slow down, Song just heard that this deceased is not a normal death, or will you let me see?"

"Let you see? People are ready to be transported out, can you still open the coffin for you to see? Childe, I don't think you're an ordinary person, you see this kind of thing as appropriate?"

The team in the rear has been blocked, complaining constantly, and eight people have also put the coffin on Lin, chatting and resting at the moment.

There was everything nearby, Song Ci arched his hand and said: "Big brother, if you don't show me the situation, I'm afraid that the deceased will die unjustly, and his grievances will be gone, and you can also watch it?"

The middle-aged man sighed, he couldn't make the decision in this matter.

Song Ci continued: "Otherwise, you call the family of the deceased, no matter what the reason is, Song Mou has to ask for clarification today."

The middle-aged man was about to speak, and in the back, two old men had already come, they saw the strangeness at the moment, and it was necessary to come and ask for an understanding.

Song Ci went to say hello, but before she could say anything, the old woman had a handful of snot and tears, and the old tears were all over the place.

"Where are the barbarians? Why don't you look at what's going on at the moment? Why are you still not allowed to go out of the funeral when people are dead?"

"No matter how powerful you are, you can't do without it!"

Song Ci felt that the content in these words was very sufficient, there must be something hidden in it, how could he miss it?

He arched his hand and said: "The two old men, Song's name is Song Ci, and they are the punishment of the Great Song Dynasty...

"Song Ci?" Everyone exclaimed, isn't this the criminal officer of the Great Song Dynasty Criminal Department? Why are you here? Is this true or false?

The old man looked at each other in a daze, very excited, causing his hands to tremble slightly.

"Your Excellency,..... Are you really Song Ci, the criminal officer of the Criminal Department?" After getting Song Ci's answer, he exclaimed: "Ah, old man, I actually met Song Ci and Lord Song, old woman, the death of the child, someone finally took care of it."

The two knelt on the ground, and Song Ci helped them up, "Old man, it is indeed Song Ci below, although he has been a magistrate before, and he has also been a general of the anti-gold resistance, but Song has always thought that his main business is to raise criminal officers, today, I just happened to arrive in Lanzhu County, otherwise I am afraid that no one will ever know what is going on in this case." ”

The people next to him also exclaimed, the word Song Ci is a famous Song Dynasty, from the octogenarian to the three-year-old doll who is still babbling.

The two people who came with a handful of snot and tears, pulled Song Ci to the side of the road, heartbroken, and they were all about to follow in their footsteps.

"Lord Song, my kid died unjustly, he was obviously doing chores in the teahouse, and he only had less than one tael of silver a month..... But who knows if you can die unexpectedly?

Song Ci asked, "In the teahouse, isn't that a place to drink tea and chat?" Why are there still murders? Old man, if you know something, how about you tell me?"

Everyone chatted for a while, and the funeral procession couldn't go out at the moment, because it was involved in other events, Song Ci had to arrange to bring it back.

At the deceased's house, Song Ci said: "Old man, let's go, you just, when the owner of the teahouse comes to inform you, you can't die for no reason, this is not reasonable."

The old man sighed and said: "I can't hide it, he directly told us that the person fell from downstairs and died, the second floor is more than ten meters high from the first floor, and at the same time, it is a stone floor."

Fell to your death? Song Ci didn't believe it for the time being, he had to go to the scene to investigate, and no one knew what was going on.

At the same time, the coffin had to be opened for an autopsy.

"So, since the person died in their restaurant, can the inn have compensation? Can't you just send people back?"

"Silver? Also compensate, I, Lord Song, it would be nice if they were so good, my son is only in his thirties, although he has not started a family, but it is also a human life, you just die like this, who can be willing? Not only that, but let us give three taels of silver as compensation?"!

"You give them money? Why is that?" Song Ci exclaimed, Qin Yue and the others also felt incredible.

People don't get money when they die, but they have to lose money, under the Great Song Dynasty, there seems to be no such law!

Even if it is the emperor, even if it is a relative of the emperor, I am afraid that he will not dare to be arrogant.

The old man cried: "Who knows, at that time, the yamen was all here, and my son deliberately fell down and died in order to cheat the silver, so the magistrate decided to let us compensate three taels of silver as compensation, otherwise we would take the body away."

At this moment, Song Ci was angry, these people are really bold, they are really opposed; , if you don't take the Great Song Dynasty Law Order in your eyes, even Cao, Tang and Wu will not dare to be presumptuous.

Song Ci, who originally had a little expectation for the cluster, was completely discouraged at the moment, just like Lu You, Guangnan East Road was full of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, very presumptuous.

If this case is not thoroughly investigated, how can we be worthy of the Queen Mother, how can we be worthy of the emperor, and how can we be worthy of the post of director of the Criminal Department?

Song Ci said: "Old man, don't worry, since Song has come to this Lanzhu County, how can he leave like this at this moment?" I can assure you that no matter how deep the water is and how big his hand is, if this matter is not resolved, Song will never leave half a step.

"It's just that Song needs to open this coffin for an autopsy now, I don't know if you will agree?"

The two glanced at each other, and in order to investigate the real murderer, they could only agree at this moment.

"Lord Song, you are our parent official of the Great Song, if you do an autopsy, then the autopsy is, and if we don't agree, we won't be able to find the murderer!"

Song Ci nodded and instructed the local people to help pry open the coffin, and there was only a young man in his early thirties inside, his face was full of wounds, and the blood stains had been wiped dry.

Although he changed his shroud, he still looked weak, his eyes were closed, and his arms were full of wounds.

The more Song Ci looked, the more angry he became, he lifted his clothes and saw that he pressed left and right on his chest with his hand, breaking several ribs, even his back, where the skin and flesh were open, it was very miserable.

Not only that, but there are also many wounds on the top of the head, blood stains the black hair red, and slowly open it to see, there is a ten-centimeter wound inside, and the skull can be seen, which should be a fatal wound here.

After watching it for a long time, Song Ci had already dared to determine what was going on, and there was no doubt at the moment.

"Old man, send your son away, after all, people will die in the ground, and they can't let him stay in the outside world for a long time, right?"

They nodded sadly, their emotions were very complicated, the sound of firecrackers rang out again, and then the coffin was carried away, and the funeral procession finally left.

The old man couldn't cry, he had never been so sad, he was willing to die for himself, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and he really didn't want to see it.

Song Ci said: "Old man, can you tell Song, what is the name of this teahouse?" Where is the location?"

The old woman opened her mouth at this moment, "Lord Hui, if you continue to walk five miles south, you can see where there is a guest who has come to the teahouse, this is this one, according to their shopkeeper has a good relationship with the magistrate, every day, there is a steady stream of guests inside."

Song Ci expressed his understanding that as long as there is a site, then things will be much easier.

After chatting for a while, everyone left in a hurry, walked towards the teahouse, and walked for about half an hour, and finally found this teahouse.

There are two floors, and there are constantly guests coming and going, but the area is very large, which can accommodate hundreds of people to use tea at the same time, as for what other services are inside, Song Ci doesn't know.

Xiaoxiang said: "My lord, I always feel that the death of the deceased may be inseparable from here, whether it is what they call it or not, they should bear a certain responsibility."

"It's not just responsible, look at this magnificent building, how spectacular, Song suspects that they deliberately pushed the building to death, but they didn't dare to 100%, as for why, then I don't know, let's go, since you're here, let's go in and drink tea."

They walked in, and under the reception of Two, they were arranged a position against the window, located on the second floor, and it was almost full.

There are all kinds of people on the road, but there are no poor people, and even if there are, they are just here to work.

Song Ci shouted three cups of tea, and after the second was delivered, he gave the poor money, a bowl of one or two silver, which was very expensive, and Song Ci panicked in his heart.

Xiaoxiang said with a smile: "My lord, this time it's a big loss, you and your wife didn't invite us to dinner, hehe, this time you finally didn't run away."

"Yes, yes, oh, my lord, look at it, now that we have finally eaten your food, you can see for yourself, are you distressed now?"
