The river that flows through Zhenyang County is called "Ruyang River", which is another name for Rushui, and it is said that it was a magnificent river in ancient times, with a huge water body and magnificent waves, so "Ruyang River" is also called "Ruhai".

Tang Shixian Li Bai has poems as evidence, looking south at Lutai, looking at Ruhai at the pole, Yunyan reflecting Yuyu, and there is a good way.

The folk proverb clouds, open the dragon gate, and withdraw the Ruyang River.

Although the water of the Ruyang River at this time has long since lost the magnificent waves of the ancient times, the drop here is large, so this section of the river in Zhenyang County is relatively turbulent, and the river surface is wider.

At this time, there are many wooden boats dragging fishing nets back and forth on the Ruyang River, and there are many red cloth strips hanging on the bow of the boats, and many water ghosts jump into the water and dive underwater, as if they are looking for something.

A busy (rè) scene.

There is an ancient temple on the side of the Ruyang River, called "Rujiang Temple".

Rujiang Temple is built by the mountains and rivers, and standing on it, you can have an unobstructed view of the river surface and the river bank.

"Li Tuiguan, aren't you dizzy? Don't go to sleep? Yan Si said to Li Sanjian, who was standing on top of Rujiang Temple.

Li Sanjian was standing on top of Rujiang Temple at this time, looking at the people recruited by the county order of Zhenyang County in a daze.

To see people in life and to see corpses in death, Li Sanjian made up his mind to salvage Bi Lin's body from the river, and use this as a breakthrough to find the evidence of the crimes of Zhou Fanggeng and others.

Since the purpose of Li Sanjian's trip to Caizhou has been discovered by Zhou Fanggeng and others, and at the same time, Zhou Fanggeng and others have already jumped over the wall and killed people, then at this time, the two sides have already "officially started a war".

And there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened, at this time the two sides have reached the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken, and at the same time (qíng) At this time, Li Sanjian has no way to retreat, if he takes a step back, Li Sanjian will be killed alive (bī) by Zhou Fanggeng and others.

At this time, Li Sanjian had once again learned Zhou Fanggeng's ability, a mere official, he was able to drive a dignified official in the government to kill people like this, it was simply too capable, it was simply too frustrating, it was doing everything, and treating human life like a mustard, which made people extremely angry.

Previously, Li Sanjian still despised Zhou Fanggeng a little, but at this time, Li Sanjian had already picked up his contempt for Zhou Fanggeng and was determined to win this battle.

"I'm not tired." Yan Si opened his mouth to speak, waking Li Sanjian up from his contemplation, turned his head to look at Yan Si and said, "Not only am I not tired or dizzy, but I am unusually awake at this time." ”

"Hey, does that work?" Yan Si sighed and asked, "What if this nonsense surnamed Xu and Bi Yuanwai didn't die in the river at all?" ”

"No," Li Sanjian replied with great confidence: "I have ordered Yao Yu and the others to carefully check their group, there is no Bi Lin among them, and it is impossible for a big living person to hide in it without revealing a trace of horses' feet." ”

"What if you kill him halfway through, and then cover up his body and destroy it?" Yan Si thought for a moment and then asked.

"It's possible." Li Sanjian then glanced at Yan Si again and smiled: "Aren't you a master of 'corpse hunting'?" Can't you smell the place where the corpses are hidden? In a short period of time, the official expected that they would not be able to kill people and hide the corpses without revealing a trace of horses, so the officials concluded that what Xu Shiqing said was true, and they must have thrown the corpses into the river after the killing. If this matter is done by the official, it will also be the same, using the river water (dàng) (dàng) to cover up his heinous crime. ”

You're the master of 'corpse hunting', so you're not

What kind of smell of dead people, Yan Si said secretly in his heart, Master, I'm looking for a treasure, okay? Who is well-fed and would be interested in a corpse?

However, although Yan Si had a lot of criticism of Li Sanjian in his heart, he still agreed with Li Sanjian's analysis.

I didn't expect this person to be young, younger than himself, and he was so thoughtful, and he really deserved to be the best in the world, and he was worthy of his name, Yan Si said secretly in his heart.

"But... Promote the official and the public. Yan Si then asked: "The river is so wide, the river is so turbulent, after a corpse enters the river, it is like corn entering the water, who knows where it goes?" Isn't this kind of salvage like looking for a needle in a haystack? ”

In case there is a strange fish at the bottom of the river, just wait for the food, the corpse enters the river, and the strange fish swallows it in one bite, see where you can find it? Yan Si said secretly in his heart.

"If you look for a needle in a haystack, you have to fish." Li Sanjian looked at Jiang Mian and said, "We just want to do our best and have a clear conscience, as for what the result is, it's not something we should think about (qíng)." ”

Do your best and have a clear conscience, Yan Si was silent when he heard this, silently thinking about Li Sanjian's words.

。。。。。。。。

"Found it, Li Tuiguan, found it... Got it... Zhenyang County made Di Xiang dance with joy, almost with a run, and walked up to Rujiang Temple, shouting loudly as he walked.

Zhenyang County Commander Di Xiang gave the same Jin Shi Out (shēn), just transferred from the county lieutenant to the county order for one year, in the middle of this year, Di Xiang is the government of the industry, the governance of Zhenyang County is smooth, as long as the two years are completed, if someone in the court recommends, then Di Xiang can be transferred to the official of the state capital, that is, it can be described as Shi Tu Tan (dàng).

But the problem is that Di Xiang is suffering from no one in the court, and there is no way to ask for help.

However, there was some turning point in this matter (qíng), that is, the matter of Li Sanjian, the official of the Kaifeng Prefecture.

Li Sanjian (yù) fished out the corpse to find evidence, so he had to write to Caizhou Prefecture and Zhenyang County for help, and Caizhou Zhizhou saw that the Kaifeng Prefecture government pushed the official for help, so he also made a Shunshui person (qíng) and handed over the matter to Zhenyang County.

Di Xiang heard that the Kaifeng Mansion was about to die in Zhenyang County, and at the same time there were Caizhou and Kaifeng Mansions, so he did not dare to slack off, and recruited a large number of Zhenyang County residents, especially water ghosts with better water (xìng), to salvage the corpses along the Ruyang River.

Li Sanjian is the champion and first of the new department, and he was promoted to the doctor of the six-rank left dynasty at a young age, not only as a minister of the new emperor Zhao Ji's palace, but also as a favored by Zhao Ji, so Di Xiang had some thoughts.

If you do this well, you can ask Li Sanjian, or even worship under Li Sanjian, then Li Sanjian will have the opportunity to mention himself only in the emperor's premise in the future, not too much, just mention it slightly, then Di Xiang's career will be unusually smooth.

You must know that a county order like Di Xiang from the eighth rank cannot face the king at all.

Therefore, Di Xiang worked very hard in this matter, personally commanded the people, and was busy for a whole day and night to finally find Bi Lin's body, which can be said to be worth the effort, not in vain.

"Found it? Quick, quick, follow me and see. Closing his eyes, Li Sanjian, who had been resting for an hour, woke up from his dream, put on his clothes and walked out.

Shan Kui, Yan Si and the others also hurriedly followed Li Sanjian towards the river beach.

"How did you find it? Can you confirm that it is Biling's body? Li Sanjian asked as he walked.

"Reply to Li Tuiguan's words." Di Xiang struggled to keep up with Li Sanjian, who was walking quickly, and replied, "It's an old (yīn) Yang crossover

The person found that there were tattoos on the face of this corpse, and the lower officials carefully checked it, and it was not long after the tattoo. ”

(yīn) Yang cross-border people are corpse diggers, which are an ancient profession that begs for a living by the water all year round.

"What's the stab?" Li Sanjian asked again.

"(jiān) commits two words." Di Xiang replied.

It should be right, Li Sanjian said secretly in his heart, but further inspection is needed.

"Good work." Li Sanjian nodded and said: "If this matter can be revealed, the Di County Order is indispensable, and this official will definitely play the Ming Sheng, with the Jia County Order and the people of Zhenyang County." ”

"This is what the lower officials should do, how dare they take credit?" Di Xiang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked Li Sanjian.

。。。。。。。。

After the body was scooped up, it was covered with a white cloth, and there were some incense candles, paper money and other objects placed by the Yang cross-border people around it.

Yao Yu and Xu Biao took the government officials and Zhenyang County officials to surround the corpses, and did not allow idle people to approach.

When Li Sanjian arrived, he could only identify it as a floating corpse that had been soaked for a long time from a pair of miserable white hands exposed under the white cloth.

"Did the county government bring it?" Li Sanjian glanced at the corpse, frowned and asked Di Xiangdao.

In order to further confirm the (shēn) part of this floating corpse, a detailed autopsy is required.

There are also coroners and coroners in the Kaifeng Mansion, but when Li Sanjian went to Caizhou from Kaifeng Mansion, where would he have expected this kind of thing to happen (qíng)? Even if Li Sanjian is not a prophet, he is a little worried about the coroners and servants of the government, in case they also collude with Zhou Fanggeng, wouldn't it be a big deal?

At this time, Li Sanjian had to be cautious so as not to make any further mistakes.

"The lower official brought it, and Li Tuiguan ordered it." Di Xiang responded.

Li Sanjian nodded and said, "Go to the autopsy, be careful, don't miss anything." ”

In addition to confirming the (shēn) portion of the corpse, Li Sanjian also wanted to know whether Bi Lin was killed by him or, as Xu Shiqing said, was chased in a hurry, so he jumped into the river and drowned.

If he kills, then Li Sanjian can use this as a breakthrough to find evidence of the crimes of Zhou Fanggeng and others.

"Yan Si, you go too." Li Sanjian then instructed Yan Sidao.

Among the people brought by Li Sanjian, only Yan Si often dealt with dead corpses, so Li Sanjian thought that Yan Si should be able to see some clues.

"The little one obeys." Yan Si answered, and then walked to the corpse with Qi Zuo.

Although Yan Si respectfully agreed, he was extremely unhappy in his heart.

I often deal with dead bodies, but for the sake of treasure hunting, this is different from investigating the case and autopsy, how can it be confused?

"The deceased is great, and he has offended the outside of the staff, please forgive the sins." Li Sanjian then bowed heavily to the corpse.

Outside of the membership, I know that you have died unjustly, and I make an oath here, one day (rì), to clear your wrongs and clear your injustices. Li Sanjian thought silently.

At this time, Li Sanjian felt extremely guilty in his heart.

If it weren't for Li Sanjian, without Li Sanjian to pursue the case, Bi Lin might still be serving in the military camp of Zhenyang County, Caizhou.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Li Sanjian indirectly killed Bi Lin.

Li Sanjian is extremely remorseful, regretting what he is for, he has to hold on to this case?
