Chapter 112: The Second Deceased
[I can't catch up with two chapters today, and three chapters will be completed tomorrow.]
PS: In addition, the people who question me of lying, when I used to make up for it the next day, I just have to say it directly, and I can use it to lie? Besides, it makes sense to take the number of power outages in the city and the number of power outages in a poor county and village in my county? 】
August 16 of the 10th year of Guangde.
A sudden heavy rain in the second half of the night completely extinguished the grievances of the servants for days - those who were still complaining that 'the old man moved his mouth and broke his leg below' now changed his words and praised Sun Shaozong, saying that he was prepared for a rainy day and prepared things like a god.
If it weren't for Sun Shaozong's application to start construction ahead of schedule, even if the servants braved the rain to repair it now, I am afraid they might not be able to catch up.
In contrast, failing to survive the Mid-Autumn Festival in peace and stability is naturally not a big deal.
But I didn't know that Sun Shaozong was also very lucky in his heart, he just saw that the tribute courtyard was too dilapidated, for fear that it would be too late to renovate it, so he made the decision to start construction in advance.
However, the servants breathed a sigh of relief, but he and Jia Yucun couldn't rest yet, so they rushed to the Gongyuan in the rain early in the morning, leading people to carefully check the situation in the examination room, so as not to make any trouble when the Ministry of Rites sent someone to accept it tomorrow.
Fortunately, the situation at the scene is okay, although it is indispensable to leak rain in the room, but it is basically attached to the wall cracks, which will not affect the normal use - after all, they are all built with thin wooden boards, and the requirements cannot be too high.
After the inspection, Sun Shaozong was in a temporary thatched hut, discussing with Jia Yucun the order of day and night duty, but saw several officials hurrying over.
"Master Qiyu Mansion, Master Tongju, the pontoon bridge has been built over there in Hebei, and the victims have already crossed the river early this morning, Lord Yin of the Mansion shouted to the two masters to return to the mansion to discuss matters!"
Get~
Now it's even more lively.
Jia Yucun smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but twist his beard and said, "Brother, now even I am beginning to wonder if you can be a prophet." ”
At the beginning, all the bridges on the Yongding River were washed away by the flood, and the water did not recede, so it was difficult for ordinary boats to cross, so the victims were blocked on the south bank, and it was not Shuntianfu's turn to worry.
But once these victims cross the river, it is the duty of the Shuntian Mansion to send most of the servants to maintain order, lest these 'mud legs' who have nothing affect the good life of the people in Beijing.
In this way, if you want to brave the rain to repair the Gongyuan, it will definitely be useless to rely on Shuntianfu alone, so you have to ask for help from above, and then be scolded a few words of 'short-sightedness' and 'mending the dead'.
That's why Jia Yucun has such a saying.
Sun Shaozong smiled, but he didn't bother to explain anything.
The two of them each returned to Yamen by car, and Jia Yucun, the mansion, was naturally one of the protagonists of the singing.
And Sun Shaozong, as a general sentence, is now serving as the patrol envoy of Qiuqiu, dealing with the victims or something, but it really has nothing to do with him.
In the inner hall of the back ya, there was a person who had no match, listening to the people in the hall shirking each other's responsibilities, and by the way, scolding the Hebei officials for being shameless, and deliberately indulging the victims to cross the river.
Seeing it, someone was about to accuse the victims of being unwilling to starve to death obediently, and they had to make trouble for the imperial court, but suddenly saw a green-robed petty official, looking outside the hall.
When Wang Qian, the commander of Daxing County, and Su Xingfang, the new county magistrate, saw it, they all got up and confessed, and hurriedly went out of the inner hall.
Originally, Sun Shaozong didn't care about this matter, but after a while, Su Xingfang quietly turned back again, came to Sun Shaozong's side and said: "Lord Sun, I have something with Wang Xianling, I want to ask you about it, you see ......?"
Sun Shaozong's heart moved, and he blurted out: "But the murderer who left the blood word 'God Broken' hurt people's lives again?" ”
Generally, such fanatics who take the initiative to provoke the 'law enforcement agencies' often choose to commit crimes in succession before they fail to achieve their goals.
Besides, except for this case that is obviously aimed at Sun Shaozong, Daxing County doesn't need to ask him for advice on other things.
Su Xingfang bowed slightly, and praised: "The adult really deserves his reputation, I just want to ask about the 'blood character' case, and I also ask the adult to give advice." ”
It is said that generally this kind of case will be named after the content of the blood character, but in order to avoid Sun Shaozong, the official, the whole of Daxing County is called the 'blood character case', and the word 'divine judgment' is never mentioned.
Since people said it so politely, Sun Shaozong naturally would not refuse, and besides, he was originally interested in this case, but he couldn't leave for the time being.
So he got up and confessed, and followed Su Xingfang out of the inner hall.
When I got to the door, I saw Wang Qian, the commander of Daxing County, and the green-robed petty official who was probing his brain before, talking in the corridor not far away - to be precise, Wang Qian was scolding the green-robed official.
Because of the heavy rain, Sun Shaozong didn't hear what he was scolding clearly, but when he got closer, he saw that he still had a black face, so he guessed that this 'son-in-law of the Zhen family' didn't want to get involved in the case.
As a deputy, he can surpass Wang Qian to be the master of the house, it seems that this Su Xingfang is not simple.
"Master Sun."
"Wang County Order."
Although they are also six products, Wang Qian is much older in terms of power, but Sun Shaozong is the official in the government after all.
Therefore, when Wang Qian reluctantly bowed, he returned the salute and asked straight to the point: "But I don't know who the murderer killed this time?" ”
"Well...... this"
Wang Qian turned his head and glared at the green-robed junior official, "Why don't you tell Master Sun about the latest case!" ”
"The lowly Ding Renlu has seen the general judge."
The green-robed petty official also stepped forward to salute, and then informed Sun Shaozong of the latest progress of the case.
However, it is said that the influx of Hebei disaster victims into the boundary of Shuntianfu has caused a lot of noise in the city, but there are also many people who cheer for it - such as the people in the city, the brothels in the green buildings, and the singles who can't afford to ask for wives on weekdays.
After all, after the catastrophe, it is most common to sell children and daughters, and it is common for those who really can't get over the hurdles to sell their wives and daughters together.
Chen San'er, a lame man in the east of the city, is a member of this single army.
So when he heard the news, he hurriedly took the copper money from his family and prepared to go to the rice store to buy some grain to save - after all, for the victims, food is much better than copper money, and it is also conducive to preserving its value.
said that Chen San'er hurriedly went out of the house with the money, and hurried to the nearest rice shop in the rain all the way, but who knew that he encountered a corpse on the way!
At that time, Chen San'er was so frightened that he didn't care about buying any rice, so he hurriedly went to Baozheng to report it.
"The deceased was a splash, because he had the strength of two arms, and he was ruthless, and he was also a little famous in the vicinity."
"The cause of death was pierced through the heart with a sharp weapon, and based on the shape of the wound, it is inferred that the murder weapon should have been a single knife."
"At the beginning, I didn't think about the 'blood character' case, but when I did the autopsy, I found that the blood stains on the lining of the clothes were faintly distinguishable."
"Although it was soaked in the rain, the handwriting was no longer legible, but I was waiting to figure out that it should be related to the 'blood letter' case."
When Sun Shaozong heard this, he suddenly asked, "When was that drunkard killed?" On the evening of the ninth day of the new year, or on the morning of the tenth day of the new year? ”
"This ...... According to the analysis, he died around the time of the ugly, it should be the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month. Ding Renlu said, and said with some embarrassment: "As for the splash skin that died this time, because I was soaked in the rain for a long time, I can't infer when he died for the time being."
"In that case, there shouldn't be anything wrong with that."
Sun Shaozong said in a deep voice: "But all such fanatics who take the initiative to provoke the government will often set some goals for themselves, such as ...... Kill someone every five days! ”
"Since he wants to provoke the government, he will naturally leave a clear mark.
"And the mark on that splash skin is obviously written by the murderer when he was a child, that is, before it rained."
"So so!"
Wang Qian's face became deeper and deeper, and he said angrily: "Could it be that the guy will continue to kill people until August 20th?!" ”
