Outside the Baihua Building, Wei Jun was already waiting here, and when he saw Cao Wei coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "There is a corpse in Hedong......"

"Floating corpses?"

Cao Wei asked excitedly, "Is it swollen all over the body, the eyes are protruding, and the corpse is facing up or the back up?" I guess it's the back up, right? ”

Wei Jun wiped a handful of cold sweat and said, "The corpse is floating face up......"

"It's the backstroke! Okay, Ben-sama knows, let's go home and eat. ”

Wei Jun hurriedly grabbed Cao Wei and said, "My lord, the Qinhuai River is the jurisdiction of our hundred households. ”

Cao Wei said: "Then what is the matter with Lord Guanben, the government should investigate and solve the case, we must have a chance, we can't take a mouse and meddle in things......"

A lieutenant next to him reminded in a low voice, "My lord, that's a dog with a mouse." ”

Cao Wei was silent for a moment, looked at the captain and said, "What is the name of this brother?" ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "Mark Lei Wu." ”

"Okay, Lei Wu, your case of silver this month has been halved, and you dare to scold Lord Ben for being a dog, and your head was kicked by a donkey......"

Wei Jun saw that his lord was getting farther and farther away, and hurriedly said: "My lord, without further ado, let's hurry over and take a look, Lord Qianhu has already gone." ”

Cao Wei sighed, stared at Wei Jun and said, "Wei Jun, tell me, can't Lord Ben stay out of this case?" Otherwise, if you take a month's leave for Lord Ben, you will say that I have Hualiu disease in the Qinglou and am bedridden! ”

"My lord, Jinyiwei has the responsibility to co-organize......"

Cao Wei sighed heavily: "I understand, sometimes if you don't cause trouble, trouble will find you, I just want to have a peaceful birthday for a few days, but I have been working hard, not only for the family's livelihood, but also for official business." ”

"The adults are tired...... Wei Jun wanted to slap himself in the mouth after speaking, he had never seen the hundred households who did not go to the hundred households at home for five days to sign the detention, the hundred households who patrolled the streets halfway and then went home to sleep, the hundred households who did not show up when the silver was issued, the new brothers in the hundred households had not seen this hundred households, and in a few days this hundred households adults would become a legend in the hundred households. If that's not idleness, then how can it be idle?

…………

The east of the river is the lower reaches of the Qinhuai River, when Cao Wei came here, there was already a circle of people on the bank, and the captain of the Jinyi Guard isolated irrelevant people, and the sharp-eyed captain saw Cao Wei walking towards this side, and immediately dredged out a passage.

Cao Wei walked through the crowd, pretending to be an autopsy, Ren Hao and a middle-aged man wearing an embroidered cloud goose complement official uniform were talking on the shore, this man had a Chinese face, a long beard, a look of righteous indignation, and he didn't know what he was talking to Ren Hao, Ren Hao stood aside with a solemn face, and did not speak.

Wei Jun said in Cao Wei's ear: "That is Lord Yang Hongyang, the prefect of Nanjing, who was born as a civil official, and has always been at odds with our Jinyi Guard......"

Cao Wei walked to the corpse, turned around, and then walked up to the corpse and asked, "What did you find?" ”

He put down the deceased's eyeballs and arched his hand to Cao Wei: "My lord, there is no sludge in the deceased's mouth and nostrils, there are no wounds on the body, although his face is swollen and white by the river, it is dark and black, his eyes are bloodshot, and his nails are black, so ......"

"So he didn't drown, he died of poisoning, right?"

"My lord."

"Eyeballs help people put them on......"

He was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

Ren Hao turned his head and saw Cao Wei coming, arched his hand to Yang Hong, then walked towards Cao Wei, came to Cao Wei, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Cao, the situation is not good, the deceased's hands are calloused, especially at the tiger's mouth on his right hand, he is obviously a person who has been using the knife for many years, and there is a lotus flower tattooed on his chest......"

"White Lotus ......" Cao Wei was just about to call out, but Ren Hao hurriedly stepped forward to cover his mouth and whispered: "Don't make a noise about this matter." ”

The White Lotus Religion is the most bizarre religion in Chinese history: the Yuan Dynasty was against the Yuan, the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Ming, and the Qing Dynasty was against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty! In which dynasty is against which dynasty, I don't know why this sect is so strange, maybe the leaders of the past generations are psychopaths, only born to oppose the imperial court.

Legend has it that all kinds of evil masters in the White Lotus Sect hid among them, and as soon as they made a move, they caused a big mess. Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, had established the Ming Dynasty with the help of the White Lotus Sect in the early days, but after becoming the emperor, he gave the White Lotus Sect a knife backhand, and since then the White Lotus Sect and the Ming Dynasty have fallen in love and killed each other.

During the Hongwu and Yongle years, there were many armed riots of the White Lotus cultists in Sichuan, Hubei, Ganlu and other places, and some even dared to build the emperor, but they were all suppressed. The White Lotus Sect is a confidant of the imperial court, and even the Hongzhi Emperor, who rules the world with benevolence and righteousness, has never relented when suppressing the White Lotus Sect.

Cao Wei took Ren Hao's hand, took a deep breath, and said, "Did my brother not wash his hands when he went to the toilet?" ”

"A certain family doesn't have the habit of washing their hands at home."

Cao Wei hurriedly found a bucket of water on the side of the road and began to wash his face, focusing on the part that Ren Hao had covered just now, washing it over and over again, washing it very carefully, and finally he didn't even let go of his chin, Ren Hao silently watched him behind him, his cheeks twitching.

After a pillar of incense, Cao Wei walked in front of Ren Hao again, and said in a low voice: "Brother, how did the scourge of the White Lotus Sect escape?" ”

Ren Hao looked at Cao Wei in a daze, and only came back to his senses when he heard about the White Lotus Sect, and said with a serious expression: "The situation is serious, I'm afraid this matter can't be covered up, this time at least we have to turn Nanjing City over." ”

"Brother, what does that Lord Yang mean by snorting coldly at us before leaving? Could it be that you owe him money and don't pay it back? ”

"Ahh

Ren Hao said disdainfully: "This Nanjing prefect is full of benevolence and morality, but he has already accepted five concubines, the youngest is only sixteen years old, which is really a tyrannical thing." If you have merit, you will take it to yourself, and if you are in trouble, you will push it out, do you know what he just said to Lao Tzu? He said that it is the duty of our Jinyi Guards to arrest the bandits, and the duty of their government is to protect the people's health and appease the people! ”

Cao Wei spat heavily on the ground and said fiercely: "His grandmother's!" ”

"Hmmm! His grandma's! ”

"But brother, the younger brother knows where the dead brother came from."

Ren Hao's eyes lit up, and he held Cao Wei's hand tightly and said, "Brother Xian, what did you find?" ”

Cao Wei hurriedly pulled out his hand and said, "Brother Xian just took a look, some of the yellow mud on the deceased's shoes has not been washed away by the river, there are several places around Nanjing City that produce yellow mud, but there is only one ...... upstream of the Qinhuai River."

"Thousand Peaks Mountain!" Ren Hao exclaimed: "Brother Xian, my brother will immediately gather his brothers and rush to Qianfeng Mountain, if you can catch the bandits, you will have made a great contribution." ”

"My brother laughed, but if you have merit, can you convert it into silver taels for me, my brother can't open the pot at home these days."

Ren Hao pointed at Cao Weidao with his finger, looking like he hated iron but not steel: "Promoted and rich, only if you are promoted first, can you get rich later, are you afraid that no one will send silver over if you have power?" ”

"I love money."
