Hu Bao answered and was about to step forward to test, but was stopped by the man again, only to hear the man: "What do you want to do?" Don't touch my brother. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "We just want to try your brother's life and death, so many people are watching, we won't destroy any evidence." ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen say this, the man let go of Hu Bao and snorted: "In front of everyone's eyes, forgive you for not daring, just try if you want to." With that, he let go of the man lying on the ground who was in the way behind him.

Hu Bao came to the man lying on the ground and squatted down, first probed the man's snort on the ground with his hand, and then reached out and touched the man's neck.

After trying for a while, Hu Bao stood up with a frown, and then came to Zhu Youzhen's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhu Youzhen was surprised: "What? Really dead? ”

At this time, Zhu Youzhen felt that he had thought wrong before, this matter seems to be not as simple as touching porcelain, no one will take his life to touch porcelain, is it someone to blame? Since it was not touching porcelain, Zhu Youzhen couldn't figure out what was going on, and it seemed that this matter could only wait for someone from the government to come to talk about it.

The two carriages of Zhu Youzhen and his entourage were blocked on the road, and there were murders here, and there were many people watching the excitement, so the streets were a little crowded, but fortunately it was night at this time, and there were not so many pedestrians, and people outside the city who were not blocked could not enter, and people in the city could not get out.

After waiting for a long time, some people who were ready to watch the excitement were impatient and dispersed, and after nearly half an hour, someone finally came.

The officials of the first few government offices shouted to the onlookers, "Get out of the way." After the crowd of onlookers gave way to a way, the prefect of Baoding Mansion led a criminal master and a servant to walk in.

If it is just an ordinary criminal case, it only needs a few officials and arresters from the government and punishment room to deal with it, but this case of death can only be handled by the prefect himself.

The prefect first asked him to come forward to inspect the corpse on the ground, and then looked at the few people next to him and asked, "Who is the bitter master and who is the suspect?" ”

The man in his fine clothes hurriedly said, "My lord, it was my brother who was trampled to death by a horse on the ground, and he trampled it to death. As he spoke, the man stretched out his hand and pointed at Gao Han.

The prefect said to several officials: "Bring the suspect back to the government first, and then try it after the official understands the reason for the matter." ”

When the officials heard this, they wanted to step forward and take Gao Han, but Zhu Youzhen stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him: "Slow." ”

Then he looked at the prefect and said, "Since the prefect hasn't understood what happened yet, why do you want to take people?" If I take only one person and say that the man killed the man on the earth, will the adult also take the man? ”

The prefect was a little unhappy when he was called to ask about the case so late, and when he saw a teenager pointing fingers at him, he was even more annoyed, and he said to Zhu Youzhen: "What do you know as a teenager?" The official asks why you need to point fingers? If you talk more, the official will let you be taken together in the name of obstructing the case. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "The adult misunderstood, I am not pointing fingers at the adult's questioning, but I just think this matter is quite strange, so in front of everyone, if the adult takes someone casually, if the wrong person is caught, won't it affect the adult's official reputation?" ”

When the prefect heard this, he looked at the people around him, and there were indeed many people, if he didn't handle it well, I was afraid it would really damage his reputation.

At this time, the prefect no longer mentioned the matter of letting the official take Gao Han away, and instead asked the famous master, "How is it?" What evidence is there? ”

The criminal master shook his head with the corpse in his hand for an autopsy and said, "My lord, this person has no injuries on his body, let alone traces of horses' hooves, and he was not trampled to death by horses. ”

Zhu Youzhen happened to be listening to it at this time, and when he heard this, Zhu Youzhen said: "That's it, Lord Xie handled the case impartially, since this person was not trampled to death by a horse, then this case has nothing to do with us, and we won't bother Lord Prefect to ask about the case, and take his leave." ”

With that, Zhu Youzhen greeted Gao Han and Hu Bao and walked to the carriage outside the crowd.

"Wait." , The person in the fancy clothes before saw that Zhu Youzhen and a few people were leaving, and he was immediately reluctant.

stopped Zhu Youzhen and a few people, and the man said to the prefect: "My lord, my brother originally walked here and screamed and suddenly died, he obviously died under the hooves of that man's horse, how can my lord say that my brother's death has nothing to do with him?" If he hadn't trampled his horse to death, how did my brother die? ”

The criminal master said: "Your brother does not have any external injuries on his body, not to mention the traces of the horse's hooves, how did he die, it has not been investigated and dealt with for the time being, but you can rest assured, this matter will definitely be found out and you will be fair." ”

The man said forcefully: "Even if my brother's death was not trampled to death by a horse, it is inseparable from that person, maybe he was frightened to death by his horse, otherwise how could he die so suddenly?" Let me tell you, my uncle is the British Duke of the Dynasty, and I am the cousin of the British Princess, and if you do not handle this case to my satisfaction, I will tell my uncle that he has dismissed you. ”

Zhu Youzhen was dumbfounded when he heard this, there was someone who pretended to be the cousin of the British Mansion like him.

At this time, Zhang Zhiji also walked out of the carriage, he came to Zhu Youzhen's side and said, "Fifth brother, I just heard someone mention the British Mansion, who is it?" ”

Zhu Youzhen pouted at the man, and then said, "Na, that person claims to be the young master of the British Mansion." ”

Zhang Zhiji was immediately happy after hearing this, and he met another person who pretended to be the young master of the British Mansion, and he couldn't help but ask Zhu Youzhen: "Do you have any brothers who are outcast?" ”

Zhu Youzhen rolled his eyes, he didn't bother to answer such a boring question.

However, to the surprise of Zhu Youzhen and the others, the prefect of Baoding Mansion really believed it, and he actually bowed his hand to the man and said: "It turned out to be the young master of the British Mansion, it is really disrespectful and disrespectful, and what the young master said is also reasonable." Saying this, Zhu Fu looked at Zhu Youzhen and said, "In this case, you can't go." ”

Zhu Youzhen listened to the prefect's words, and secretly cursed in his heart, he walked up to the criminal master and asked, "What is the cause of death of this person on the ground?" ”

The criminal master knew that the person would definitely not be scared to death, but as the master of the prefect, he couldn't debunk the prefect's words in person, he looked at Zhu Youzhen and replied: "The cause of death has not been investigated, and no injuries have been found on the deceased's body, and there are no signs of poisoning." ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Can you lend me a look at the corpse?" ”

The prefect just wanted to reprimand, but the master of the criminal name had already handed the corpse to Zhu Youzhen, and the prefect held back the words of reprimand.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the corpse in his hand, what was written on it was very simple, in addition to his name and hometown, he was of medium height, slightly fat, bloated like a bulge, no obvious scars on his body, no signs of poisoning, and so on.

Zhu Youzhen handed the corpse back to the famous master, and then squatted down and opened the deceased's mouth to look at it, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help frowning, and used his hand to disperse the smell in front of him.

He turned back to the man who claimed to be the brother of the deceased and asked, "Where did you eat at night?" The taste is so strong? ”

The man said, "Why do you ask this?" You are not from the government, so what does it matter to you where we go and what we eat? ”

Zhu Youzhen ignored it and studied the corpse on the ground again.

Zhang Zhiji also endured his nausea and walked over, squatted beside Zhu Youzhen and whispered: "Fifth brother, why are you tinkering with this?" You don't feel disgusting, just tell them your identity and leave quickly. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "Remember, there has been no prince and little grandfather since I left the capital this way, even if I arrive in Suzhou, I am not allowed to expose it until I return to the capital, otherwise you will go back now, otherwise I will not be able to save you if I am assassinated again." ”

Zhang Zhiji nodded reluctantly when he heard this, and then quickly walked away from the corpse.

Zhu Youzhen groped around the deceased's body, and then took out a few things from the deceased's arms, a cloth banner with four big characters written on the face of "Immortals Guiding the Way", as well as a secret book of "Rulai Divine Palm", a scroll of "Lanting Preface" old-fashioned scrolls, he first put a few things on the ground, and then picked up the deceased is hands to look at it and then put it down.

Then Zhu Youzhen lifted the deceased's clothes, first looked at his clothes from top to bottom, from the inside out, and finally gently pressed on the deceased's swollen stomach a few times.

After doing all this, Zhu Youzhen clapped his hands and stood up, and said to the prefect of Baoding Mansion: "My lord, I will check again, this person has eaten too much to die." ”

Zhu Youzhen's words said that the prefect and the famous master and the government were stunned, this statement is too child's play.

But when the onlookers heard this, they couldn't help but burst out laughing, they had only heard of people starving to death in the past few years, but today they heard that some people were dying.

The deceased's brother listened to Zhu Youzhen's words, and then listened to the laughter of the onlookers, and immediately rushed to Zhu Youzhen and pointed at Zhu Youzhen and said angrily: "Nonsense, you dare to slander my brother like this, believe it or not, I let my uncle ...... the British public."

Without waiting for the man to finish speaking, Zhu Youzhen waved his hand in front of him while "Bah, bah", and he interrupted the man: "You can talk as you speak, can you not spew saliva?" What did you two eat at night? How can it be so stinky in the mouth? Then he said, what are you going to do with your uncle, the British duke, to do me? Have you also removed me from my job? But I'm not an official, am I? So what to do? Kill me? ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's question, the man "You, you ......" for a long time, but he couldn't continue.

Zhu Youzhen then questioned the man: "Do you know which alley the British Mansion is in?" Do you know where the British government is heading? Do you know how many cousins you have? Do you know what your cousin's name is? You don't know anything and dare to claim to be a cousin of the British public? ”

After asking, Zhu Youzhen turned around and smiled slightly towards the prefect of Baoding Mansion: "My lord, you see, this person is a liar at all." ”

When the prefect of Baoding saw that the person who claimed to be the young master of the British Mansion, he didn't know anything, and he was dumbfounded by the young man's question, that is, he didn't even talk nonsense, so he knew that he had been deceived by this person before.

Seeing that the ugliness of being played in front of so many people was revealed, the prefect was immediately furious, and said to the official beside him: "This person pretended to be a British relative, cheated, and deceived me." ”

Several officials of the government immediately stepped forward to lock the man, and the man immediately begged for mercy: "My lord, the villain is only in a hurry to pretend to be a relative of the British government, the villain is a bitter master, my brother is still lying on the ground, the villain lied in order to help the adult solve the case as soon as possible, this is just a small joke made by the villain and everyone, it can't be true, you must not be really your lord." ”
