If you look closely, there seems to be liquid oozing out of the crack in the door panel on the side of the blacksmith's shop, forming a small puddle on the ground along the threshold.

Zhou Heng squatted down and sniffed, the liquid seemed to smell of wine.

It seemed that the smell of wine covered up the smell of the corpse, Zhou Heng straightened up, and was just about to turn around, when a black-brown finger mark appeared under the deadbolt.

At this moment, Zhou Heng felt a sinking on his shoulders.

Looking sideways, the big man who struck iron had already walked in front of Zhou Heng.

"I said, if you want to find a shop, go to Yaxing, the owner here has been friends with me for many years, what do you mean by squatting like this?"

Zhou Heng hurriedly stood up straight and stepped back with a smile.

"Big brother misunderstood, I just think this place is really good, thinking that if a medical center is opened here, there must be a lot of people coming."

The big man glanced at Zhou Heng up and down, and saw that he said that he was going to open a medical hall, and his attitude was a little better.

"Doctor's office? There are several in front, and the two largest ones are also in the south, where the location is better, but the price of the shop is also expensive, and the smallest one costs 100 taels of silver a year! ”

The corners of Zhou Heng's lips trembled, the annual rent is one hundred and ten taels of silver, which is too expensive.

It seems that you still have to find a position carefully, and the money in your hand is enough for the rent to operate, and it is really a bit big.

However, thinking of the corpse stench, Zhou Heng hurriedly bowed down and said goodbye, and continued to walk towards the south side.

When passing by the Xinglin Medical Center, there were many people around the door, Zhou Hengyi raised his eyebrows, it seems that the business here is not bad, since they are so busy, let's go to the county government to visit first.

Touching the name card in his arms, Zhou Heng walked quickly towards the county office.

When he arrived at the county yamen's room, he handed over the name sticker, and he didn't wait long, He Zhutou came out to greet him in person, Zhou Heng was a little surprised, and hurriedly gave a salute.

"It's really polite to let He Zhutou pick it up in person."

"Zhou Gongzi, please, my county lord has been waiting for you for many days."

Zhou Heng was slightly stunned, what does this mean, is it because the previous autopsy methods were too shocking?

With full of doubts, he followed He Zhutou to the backyard, and Liu Renli, the magistrate of the county, stood in the back hall in civilian clothes, and saw Zhou Heng come in with a smile.

"Gongzi Zhou asked the official to wait, please take a seat!"

Zhou Heng hurriedly clenched his fists, the necessary politeness is still necessary, the person is the magistrate, the supreme governor here, that is the person who holds the power, that is, the party, government, public procuratorate and law in later generations are part-time jobs, the more polite, the more bottomless Zhou Heng's heart is.

But since we want to talk about it in detail, the time must not be short, so let's talk about the smell and blood marks first.

If you find something later, know that you don't report it and don't cause trouble.

"Thank you Lord Liu for your concern, but Zhou Heng has something to tell, maybe he needs to catch the head to take a look!"

Liu Renli was stunned, helped Zhou Heng weakly, and motioned for him to sit down.

"Zhou Gongzi sat down and said, I don't know what happened?"

Zhou Heng glanced at He Zhutou and said:

"In the West Market, there is a blacksmith shop on the north side of the Xinglin Medical Center, there is a huge flag with black letters on a blue background hanging at the door, embroidered with the word Yao Ji, the shop next door to him has no plaque, it is said to be changed to a wine shop, but it has not been opened for half a month, and the landlord is nowhere to be found.

Liu Renli was stunned, his hand holding the teacup shook, and some of the tea was spilled, staring at Zhou Heng and asking:

"Are you sure it's a corpse?"

Zhou Heng nodded, "Although there is a strong smell of alcohol at the door, the smell of corpses is absolutely not wrong, and I saw a bloody fingerprint under the door bolt." ”

When Liu Renli heard this, he looked at He Zhutou.

"He Zhutou, you can take someone over to have a look!"

He Zhutou clasped his fists and said yes, there are few murders in this Qingping County, if what this Zhou Gongzi said is true, this case is definitely not small, and he quickly took someone there.

Liu Renli sighed when he saw that the people were leaving, put down the teacup, wiped his hands, and looked at Zhou Heng and said.

"I'll tell you the truth, I asked someone to inquire, you are treating a noble man in the plum garden, I heard that he was seriously injured, but you saved his leg, and in just a few days, now he can come down and walk normally, and like an ordinary person, there is no lameness."

Zhou Heng looked at Liu Renli with some surprise, there must be a reason for being able to inquire about things in such detail, he obviously knew that the identity of the person in Meiyuan was special, if he was not forced to do so, he would definitely not take this risk.

"That's right, if you have any questions, please be honest!"

Liu Renli clenched his fists, "I definitely didn't mean to listen to Meiyuan, it's just that my only sister has a stubborn disease, a gall on the neck, and it has been more than two years since it was first discovered, not to mention Qingping County, that is, the various big medical halls in Jinan Mansion and the capital, as well as the official medical institutes, no one dares to move." ”

Flesh gall?

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, he knew this name.

It is a name for benign thyroid tumors by the ancients, but the ancients limited disinfection and anesthesia, so the surgical development is still very limited.

Listening to Liu Renli's meaning, I can't find many people, that is, the size of this benign thyroid tumor is definitely not small, and it is the kind that affects normal life.

"It doesn't hurt or itch, it can move up and down with swallowing, but now the flesh gall is relatively huge, which affects activity?"

Liu Renliteng stood up suddenly, grabbed Zhou Heng's hand and nodded vigorously.

"That's it, that's it! The little sister Xiu'er's flesh gall is extremely huge, not to mention low self-esteem, it also affects her mood. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I let people stare at her at any time, I'm afraid that she won't be able to think of finding a short-term view, and everyone who has seen her will treat her as a monster, and some people even spit on her and collided with the gods before she was cursed by this. ”

Zhou Heng groaned slightly, this huge benign thyroid tumor is not a serious disease in the twenty-first century, but it is indeed a big problem here.

If you do this operation alone, there is no blood preparation, no anesthesiologist, no instrument nurse, no sterile operating room, no shadowless lamp and microscope, the whole operation is the same as blind cutting, all based on feel and experience, this is too scary.

Liu Renli saw that Zhou Heng had been bowing his head and frowning, and his hopeful eyes gradually dimmed, Zhou Heng was already his last hope.

"Is Zhou Gongzi ......?"

Zhou Heng glanced up at Liu Renli and smiled at him.

"Don't worry, let me take a look at Sister Ling first, the operation can be done, but there are more things that need to be prepared, not in a moment and a half, don't worry!"

Liu Renli nodded hurriedly, got up and shouted outside the door:

"Come on, come on, come on, please miss!"

Zhou Heng stopped Liu Renli's movements, stood up and looked at the county lord seriously.

"Lord Liu, don't make such a big fanfare, if it's convenient, it's better for the adults to take me to see it alone, so that there is no maid and mother-in-law here, and Ling Mei can relax a little."

Liu Renli thought about it, it was true, every time she saw Xiu'er, she was sullen for the next few days, even when she saw herself, she was forced to smile, and it seemed that she had been patient.

"Okay, let's go straight to the back house!"

The subordinates at the door were sent away, and Liu Renli led Zhou Heng towards the back house, although the courtyard was not large, the flowers and plants and house design behind were quite exquisite.

When she came to the small building in the backyard, a little maid saw Liu Renli from a distance and hurriedly gave a salute.

Liu Renli glanced upstairs, a little worried in his heart, and frowned:

"Get up and talk back, why didn't you serve the young lady in front of you?"

The little girl was so frightened that she quickly knelt down.

"My lord Mingjian, the young lady is grooming, so send the slave and maid out......"

Liu Renli looked clear and waved his sleeves.

"Chun Tao, go and help Miss tidy up, I brought a friend and gave her a look at the symptoms."

The little girl hurriedly ran upstairs, and Liu Renli smiled apologetically at Zhou Heng.

"Zhou Gongzi is more responsible, my sister-in-law is a little afraid of seeing people because ......of this illness, but she has a gentle temper and is also knowledgeable."

Before the words fell, something flew out of the window on the second floor, and Zhou Heng suddenly felt a gust of wind in the back of his head, and jumped sideways with his head to the side, just hiding behind Liu Renli.

Bang, a flower pot happened to fall where Zhou Heng was standing just now, and it fell apart, and the splinters of soil scattered all on Liu Renli's robe.

Then, a low roar came from upstairs: "Get out! ”
