Chapter 188 The Law on the Restructuring of Prefectures and Counties

Yan Kuan put down the small wooden mallet, took out a pair of scissors from the wooden box, and cut the few remaining clothes and fabrics on Liu Er's corpse, the entire twisted back of the corpse was presented in front of everyone, Zhou Chengling covered his mouth and turned pale, if it weren't for Old Lady Song here, he was afraid that he would have vomited, this corpse was the most physically uncomfortable dead person he had ever seen.

It's okay not to untie the clothes, it's like a person with a very flexible body sleeping in an indecent posture, this unbuttoning of the clothes, the irregular back and the bone stubble from the waist bone are exposed, and the old man Song is also frowning, he didn't expect Liu Er to be injured like this, and he insisted until he came over, and he wanted to tell himself something.

Yan Kuan was used to seeing dead people, but he still pursed his lips slightly, he exhaled without leaving a trace, and sighed: "I suffered him, the wound was an hour ago, but the person died before two incense sticks, how much pain did he experience in the middle......

Having said that, the duty will continue, he pressed his fingers on Liu Er's soft back, the bones in his back had long been twisted and broken, Yan Kuan pressed it with his hand, and he could feel the organs behind him, he nodded secretly, took out a small bottle from the wooden box, dripped the colorless and odorless liquid inside on Liu Er's back, and then wiped it with his hand.

Yan Kuan was about to come up with another fire fold, and after roasting it back and forth on Liu Er's back, he retreated, and the liquid dried up quickly, at this time, Yan Kuan was like a trick, and a lot of purple spots appeared on the back of the corpse.

"This ...... What is it? ”

Song Fuyou was afraid that he would be dazzled and misunderstood, so he looked again, but was pulled back by Yan Kuan almost rudely, "Old lady Song, be careful, this thing is poisonous, wait for a moment for the purple spots to turn white before you can get close." ”

Song Fuyou nodded.

Sure enough, within a single cup of tea, wisps of white smoke emitted wisps of white smoke from the purple spots, and three or four small white holes appeared on Liu Er's back.

Seeing this, Yan Kuan took off his finger sleeve and threw it away, and said, "This person was murdered!" ”

Song Fuyou's face froze, "Are you sure?" ”

Lord Cheng Ling also spoke at this time: "Yan Yanzuo's skills are strong, and all the strange cases in Zhongzhou have been solved by him, he said this, there should be a basis, Yan Kuan, how can you tell that this person was murdered?" ”

Yan Kuan betrayed Guanzi, and he asked rhetorically: "Old lady Song, have you offended anyone?" ”

"The old man only showed up recently, and the rest of the time he lived in seclusion, and he couldn't offend anyone, even if he did, he should be my unsuccessful son."

Yan Kuan nodded, knowing in his heart that this Liu Er looked so young, it was possible that he had a conflict with others because of his youthfulness, but as a groom, he was not allowed to quarrel with others in terms of duty, the reason was very simple, the groom of the big family was all-weather, even if he didn't get out of the carriage, he had to stay by the stable.

This groom named Liu Er should have prevented a disaster for someone in the Song Mansion.

Yan Kuan said: "Please treat this young man's family well, as for the murderer, I will find it for Liu Er." ”

Needless to say, Song Fuyou will also be well-greeted, this groom is equivalent to dying for the Song Mansion, and the Song Mansion can't treat human life as a child's play if it doesn't get into favors.

Yan Kuan straightened his clothes, and shook the corpse, "Since I know the cause of your death, I will definitely try my best to rehabilitate you." ”

Lord Cheng Ling suddenly grabbed Yan Kuan at this time, and he smiled, "You haven't seen such a big wound on the back, how can you conclude that it is murder?" It's never too late to see. ”

Yan Kuan shook his head, "This wound is a knife wound at first glance, as for the 'silver light' that Old Lady Song said and the white spots on the back, it was caused by the wound of the hidden weapon." ”

Lord Cheng Ling nodded, and whispered in Yan Kuan's ear, "You also know that it is a secret weapon. ”

Yan Kuan turned his head violently, shocked in his heart!

The duty of the servant is like this, the dead can't speak, but the servant can speak for them, but he also has to do what he can, this deceased was killed by all kinds of secret weapons, who did he offend, can he use such a hand to assassinate a little groom?

Thinking about it another way, it was Song Ling'er who was sitting in the car at that time, if the carriage was out of control and no one came to the rescue, it would be Song Ling'er who died, and this murder was not for a groom, but for the entire Song Mansion.

The action of the Lord of the City Commander could not be more obvious, that is, let Yan Kuan do what he can, this may be a fight between their magnates, if one of them is provoked, it is estimated that a big disaster will come, and a little horseman can become a victim, not to mention Yan Kuan, a small official who is not good.

Song Fuyou's face was cloudy, and he asked: "Lord Yan, do you mean to say that from all kinds of signs from Liu Er, what happened this time was not as simple as an accident, but a man-made homicide, and it could be a conspiracy with ulterior motives against the Song Mansion?" ”

Yan Kuan nodded, he silently put away the autopsy equipment, and lit three sticks of incense in front of Liu Er, he said: "In fact, there are silver needles under these white spots on the back, presumably the silver light that the maid in the old lady's mouth said is caused by the silver needles flying, I have a rough review of the scene in my mind according to the injuries of the deceased and these wounds, it may be that the horses were artificially frightened and began to panic, the deceased wanted to try his best to control the carriage, but he didn't want the reins to break, as for why it broke for no reason, the petty official did not know, I just feel that no matter how bad a groom is, he can control the reins. ”

Song Fuyou nodded, what Yan Kuan said was true, Liu Er seems to be young, but he is actually very good at driving, otherwise he would not have been sent to Song Ling'er as a groom.

"You go on."

Yan Kuan said in a beaming manner: "Just when the reins were about to hit the deceased's chest, the first hidden weapon flew over, but this first hidden weapon did not hit the person, but hit the carriage, causing the reins to break, and the person who issued the secret weapon may see that this horseman has good skills, and the only way to stop him is to break the reins." If the deceased chose to jump out of the car to escape by himself at that time, he would have broken a few bones at most, but Liu Er had to make amends in that case, which completely angered that person, or that gang, and then the second secret weapon came. This second hidden weapon is a blunt weapon, it may be an inconspicuous stone and wood block or something, but in the hands of a master, these things can be fatal, the deceased was hit in the chest by a blunt object, the center of gravity was unstable and fell off the carriage, and then led to this tragedy! ”

Song Fuyou sighed, he set his eyes on Liu Er's miserable body, this young groom did what he should do, although it was insignificant for the overall situation, but this intention was good, at that time he may have thought that he would die, and even the idea of escape would appear in his mind, in the end he still glanced at the young lady in the carriage, tried his best to control the carriage, and finally was seriously injured and died.

"And."

Yan Kuan's words hadn't finished yet, he touched his chin and thought, "There is also a third wave of hidden weapons, which are those silver needles, but I can't think of it, Liu Er has already been knocked out of the carriage, why do you need to make up a few more silver needles, look at the size of the white spots, the silver needles should be the same as ordinary needles and threads, and I haven't found any toxins." ”

Shopkeeper He said at this time: "Didn't you just ask us to back down and say that it is poisonous?" ”

"That's my autopsy instrument, called Ghost Drop, can find out any thin and unsmelly wound, but there is a point, it needs to be roasted with fire, but when Ghost Drop encounters Gao Gongsun, it will emit a paralyzing toxin, this toxin comes out quickly, and there is no obstacle to aspiration, but if you smoke too much, it is very likely that you will never wake up again."

After Yan Kuan finished explaining, he said to Song Fuyou: "Old man Song, the tools here are not complete, I can't do a deeper autopsy, can Brother Liu's body be borrowed from me to go back to the Yamen for examination?" will definitely give Brother Liu a revelation of the truth. ”

Song Fuyou frowned, not to mention the loss of his life during the New Year, he couldn't go to the ground in time to settle down, and he had to go to the yamen to be abused, he shook his head, "The truth has been revealed, that is, someone wants to harm my Song family." ”

"But Brother Liu, he ......"

"Old man Song said that the truth is revealed, Yan Kuan, don't commit occupational diseases again, you want to dissect others at every turn, you have said that you are in the soil for peace, your body is skinned, and you are your parents, are you worthy of Liu Er's family in doing this, just bury it well, what shopkeeper are you right?"

Lord Cheng Ling directly interrupted Yan Kuan, and asked the pharmacy shopkeeper with a smile.

The shopkeeper sneered, and a big head nodded as if it were pecking rice at the chicken.

Yan Kuan sighed, "That's what Old Lady Song mean?" ”

Song Fuyou patted Yan Kuan's shoulder, "It's good that you can do this, at least let the Song family know that someone wants to murder the Song family, come here, send a hundred taels of gold to Lord Yan's house as a New Year gift, and give another hundred taels of gold to Shopkeeper He, there is a lot of trouble today." ”

The handyman who had gone to the yamen to report the news at the beginning nodded and turned to leave.

Yan Kuan shook his head and said nothing, carried the wooden box and went out, Shopkeeper He rubbed his hands excitedly, one hundred taels of gold, this is equivalent to two years without paying rent.

Song Fuyou went out with Zhongzhou Chengling.

Shopkeeper He spontaneously took a clean white cloth to cover Liu Er's body, and a few catchers quickly carried the body to the yamen, next to the yamen there is a special Yizhuang where the corpse is parked, and it is not afraid of decay in cold weather, just wait until Liu Er's family comes to claim it.

Old Man Song said in the ear of Lord Cheng Ling: "There will be a thousand taels of gold to be presented later, don't talk about this matter, you are also optimistic that Yan Kuan will not make any moves." ”

Lord Cheng Ling's heart trembled, and he coughed lightly, "Now that this court is strictly hidden, Old Man Song must not know the law and break the law, and bribery is a big crime." ”

"If you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows? Don't take it out in a big way, the Lord of the City Order is also nearly fifty years old this year, and when you return to your hometown, the old man will give you another thousand taels of gold, which will be regarded as a congratulatory gift between friends. ”

Zhongzhou Chengling's legs trembled and he almost fell, but Song Fuyou quickly helped him and looked at him with a smile.

Cheng Ling said: "I understand the reason, but wouldn't it be better to protect the Song Mansion by releasing the news, and there is a high probability that the people from the General's Mansion will also be involved, wouldn't it be beautiful to kill two birds with one stone?" ”

"This is the matter of the Song Mansion, since they are here, they can't blame the old man for being ruthless and unjust, I have already guessed who is making the blame, and I don't let you ask, it's also for your good."

Chengling is a five-grade parent official, and it is a place in Zhongzhou, where a stick can kill a county official, it is not big or small, it is very embarrassing, and there are economic envoys and Taishou in the officialdom, and there are also wealthy forces like Song Mansion in the lower ranks, and he can't afford to offend such a person.

Not to mention those who dare to provoke this group of big forces, maybe one day they will be like this young groom, and they will lose their lives and not be worth it.

It's better to collect the money and stay at home honestly, don't worry about so many idle things, so that you are good and I am good, you can do things smoothly, and I can sleep peacefully with the silver, the best of both worlds.

Sometimes the Zhongzhou city commander is thinking, this bribery is really useful, you are busy with you, I enjoy my mutual non-interference, as long as you don't go too far, it's okay to challenge the official authority.

Lord Cheng Ling pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, two thousand taels of gold before and after, enough for brocade clothes and jade food in this life, he said: "Then the old lady Song can go ahead, I will try to press you as much as possible, if someone unfortunately dies, you can't let other people find out." ”

Song Fuyou glanced sideways at this Zhongzhou City Order, there was a lot more relaxation between his eyebrows, and talking to a reasonable person was simple and simple, he nodded and patted the back of Lord City Order, I don't know what it means.
