The county magistrate arrived at the scene of the crime under the leadership of the lieutenant chief, and when he walked into the house, he was greeted by a strong fishy smell, and a corpse was lying in the hall. After the county commander walked in, he carefully observed the corpse, and there were scratches between his neck, and the wound was very deep and obvious, and it was the abdomen. Listening to the report of the chief that the door was not locked, it was opened with a slight push, so it can be concluded that an acquaintance committed the crime, and called for an autopsy, and the deceased had dark skin, obviously poisoned. So I made such an assumption, hypothetizing that there are two kinds, the first is that the murderer first poisoned it and then tore it, so there were traces of scratches; The second hypothesis is to tear and then poison, obviously the second hypothesis can be ruled out, so who is the murderer? The murderer must have been a woman, as can be judged from the marks of the deceased's scratches. Just as the county magistrate was in the middle of thinking, a government official suddenly stepped in and said, "My lord, my lord." ”

The county magistrate turned to the official and said, "What happened?" Say it. ”

"There are a lot of ordinary people gathered in the county hall, and they are all here to report the case."

The county order ordered the officials to guard the scene, and dismissed the onlookers to go out and run to the county office, and saw all the people gathered in the lobby. When these people saw the county order enter, they all came forward and said: "My lord, we want to report the case, we want to report the case, and I can't hear what they want to express clearly?"

"You are all standing, choose one that can explain the case, please detail the process."

The people stood in a row, looked at the young man standing in the middle, and said, "You will say, or you will say." ”

The young man stepped forward to face the magistrate sitting in the hall, and then the scribe sat down at the desk to record the incident. The young man said: "My lord, the wife of the grass people has not come back since she entered the temple to offer incense, and it has been three days now. ”

"Are you all the same?"

"Yes, we're all the same, it's all some pregnant women who have disappeared."

"What? A woman who is pregnant," the prefectural magistrate was surprised when he heard this.

In the high mountains near Fengdu, there is a red temple, which is really a hidden temple in the deep mountains. Because of this, the incense has always been very good, but now it is very deserted, and some officers and soldiers rushed into the mountain temple under the leadership of the people, and the result was empty. The county order stepped into the temple, and the temple was empty and there was no one there, so where did all these people go to such an empty temple? Presumably, the prefectural magistrate is also struggling with this matter. The county magistrate stood in the temple and ordered his officials to search around, but there was no one in the backyard and the front yard, and the case was interrupted. The county magistrate returned to the county government to report the case, and asked the imperial court to send a minister to investigate the case.

At this time, the court was silent, and King Ba hurriedly said: "When it comes to the critical time, you all retreat, and keep saying that you are worried about the king, what do you say the court is raising you for?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends a person to you, and you can solve this case," a Wenchen stood up and made his debut.

"Who?"

"Gongzi Qi, Gongzi Qi is in Pakistan to judge strange cases, reform is all-encompassing, this case can only be solved by Gongzi Qi."

King Ba sat on top of the main hall and said, "You mean big brother." ”

After the court discussion, King Ba walked through the corridor and came to the door of Gongziqi's room, and said, "Big brother." ”

"Please come in," King Ba pushed open the door, Gongzi Qi sat in front of the desk and wrote a book, looked at King Ba standing in front of the desk, Gongzi Qi walked forward and knelt down, looked at King Ba in front of him and said, "Your Majesty,"

"Big brother is exempt," King Ba helped Gongzi Qi to sit on the desk in the middle, and Gongzi Qi sat next to him. Gongzi Qi looked at King Ba and said, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Big brother, something big has happened in Pakistan, such as a number of homicides near the hidden capital, and the innocent disappearance of pregnant women, which is a twist and turn of various local officials, and it has almost affected the entire Pakistan country."

"This is a big case that endangers the peace of the people, how do those officials in the imperial court react to this?"

"They are all helpless, and some officials have recommended you to me."

"Well, the old minister will set off tomorrow to visit the people, and I believe there will be something to gain."

Gongzi Qi disguised himself as a scholar and walked out of the royal city with a servant. Standing under the city gate and looking up at the sky, the breeze blew the beard on his chest, Gongzi Qi stroked the beard and sideburns on his chest, the sideburns on both sides were so pale, and the white headscarf fell on his back, at this time Gongzi Qi looked a lot older, no longer the heroic posture he had when he was young. Gongzi Qi walked in front, and the servant walked behind, and walked down this mountain road. The mountain road stretches for dozens of miles, and a family is found to live temporarily.

The servant stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it was an old man who opened the door, looked at Gongzi Qi standing in front of him, and said, "Who are you?" ”

Gongzi Qi stepped forward and looked at the old man and said, "We are people who are traveling, and we are passing by and seeing that it is getting late, and we want to stay here for a night." ”

"Alright, please come in."

Gongzi Qi followed the old man in, entered the room and looked around, and said, "Old man, are you living a good life now?" ”

"Our people live a very good life, and there is a prince in the court, Qi Ke, who is a living bodhisattva of our people, who has set up porridge sheds, distributed grain seeds, and reduced our taxes to relieve our ordinary people."

"The common people are the food and clothing parents of the officials, and the officials are not filial if they do not think about the people."

"Please sit down," Gongzi Qi looked at the stool behind him, sat down and looked at the old man and said, "Old man, please sit down." ”

The old man sat opposite Gongzi Qi at this time, looked at Gongzi Qi and said, "You are a foreigner." ”

"Yes, contemptible Korean Han Qi, how can the old man be alone?"

"Son-in-law doesn't know, his wife has passed away a long time ago, and he only has a daughter-in-law. One day, the daughter-in-law went to the temple to offer incense and never came back, "The old man was teary-eyed.

The servant standing behind him said, "Old man, you don't have to worry if you have a son." ”

"Childe doesn't know, I heard that there is a ghost clan that recruits disciples to build a temple, and the daughter-in-law of the grass people entered this temple and disappeared."
