Yan Su'er's eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly: "On the street here, don't talk about this, the person who took you will send the coffin to the room, no, put it in the ice room first, I can go over later." ”

"Yes, little county lord." Yang San'er's slightly frightened eyes, when he saw Yan Su'er, instantly softened, and commanded a group of servants to push the cumbersome ox cart forward. There were few pedestrians, and Chi Qiu's shock was blown away in the cold rain.

The bullock cart was covered with a thick black canvas, the rubber wheels had been broken, and the bare wooden wheels made a seeping sound on the bluestone slabs, as if they were the ghosts of hell telling something.

"What's going on, what's going on."

"You go back and rest first, and when you're rested, I'll talk to you later."

Chi Qiu laughed miserably: "Do you think I will go back if I don't ask clearly?" What Chi Qiu said was, "Will you go back?" Instead of "Can I go back?" ", Six lives, it must be a big case, Chi Qiu does not have a sense of responsibility as a criminal investigator, but more of the gossip behind this monstrous murder case.

Yes, anyone will be curious about the story inside this coffin, and Yan Su'er also took this errand because of curiosity, to be exact, this is a "private matter".

In the south of Yanhu Lake, Peicheng in the west of Weishan Lake, named after "Pei Ze" in ancient times, is famous all over the world because of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, Liu Bang was actually born in Zhongyangli, Fengyi, Pei County, at the end of Qin, Pei County contains Pei County and Feng County, in the Han Dynasty, it was Pei County, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this area was also called Pei Hou State, referred to as Pei Guo. Unfortunately, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao, the founder of Cao Wei, was a native of Qian County in the west of Peiguo, and he assigned most of the original Pei Guo including the county to the newly built Qian County, the scope of Pei was greatly reduced, and the country was abolished and changed to Pei County, and the governance office was also moved from Xiang County to Pei County, and the current Peicheng is only ten miles away from Weishan Lake, and it is in the middle of Weishan Lake, which is extremely important to the canal channel. The land location is at the junction of the Lord of Yanhu and the Lord of Pengcheng. After the decline of the Duchy of Weilan, this place was repeatedly contested by the lord of Yanhu and the lord of Pengcheng, and finally the Hou State to which Peicheng belonged became the brother-in-law of Yan'er, and Peicheng belonged to Yanhu.

The importance of Peicheng is self-evident, Yanhu City took this as a base, firmly controlled the Weishan Lake water transportation trade route, and from this south, occupied the high-rise city, Weizhuang, Mazhuang, and even occupied Tongshan City close to Pengcheng, almost including the entire Weishan Lake, making it the inner lake of the Yanjia.

It is also because of the importance of Pei County's strategic position to the Yan family, Yan Su'er's father changed the previous princes of Peicheng to Yincheng, and Peicheng was directly governed by Yanhu, and established Peicheng City Dynasty.

Here is a brief explanation, the princes of Peicheng called themselves Peihou State, and the area controlled by Peicheng also included Fengcheng, Mazhuang, Weizhuang and other places, although the main place of governance was in Peicheng, but in fact, Peicheng legally belonged to the Peicheng Boli clan under his jurisdiction. And Yan Quan is only the fourth city guard sent by the Yan family to Peicheng to exercise management power.

At first, Peicheng also belonged to the junction of the place, the banquet family gave Peicheng the city of Dai a very high authority, the management of the army and the government, the first Peicheng city generation is on the horse can charge into battle, the horse can know the world and the government can ministers, long-term encroachment on the lord of Pengcheng, gradually push the border south, the second is the same, and finally the southern line of Yanhu is the main city of Tongshan City, Peicheng gradually became the hinterland, but the first two responsible for the military and political city guards, try their best to compress the authority of the original city lord Li, although the third city guard generation has eased, but Peicheng Li family has gradually become the ordinary nobles of Yanhu, Many people in the clan are mainly engaged in business, and Li Yuan's family is one of them.

The Li family clan who stayed in Peicheng, guarding the family ancestral hall, was even worse than these tribes and concubines, but with the growth of Tongshan City, the policy of integrating the military and government in Peicheng has eased, the burden of labor and the army has been reduced, the economic and trade development has increased, and the wealth of each tribe has increased after doing business, and there is a certain percentage of income to feed back to the clan according to the custom, plus the Li family has always been kind to the lake, when the lord of Peicheng returned to Shun, there was also the Li family in which to persuade him, the folk prestige was quite deep, and the life of the Li family in Peicheng gradually improved, compared to the previous dignitaries, and there was no military power, But it is also a relatively wealthy big family, and it also has a very high status in Pei County.

On the other hand, Yan Qu, this person is the son of the third city guard, although he is the nephew of Yan Su'er, he is older than Yan Su'er. For hundreds of years, the princes of Hejian have been emerging one after another because of the rise of the Shuliu and the rise of the Shujia family, and the previous system of dividing the family and dividing the surname is no longer followed, and even if the Shuliu is entrusted with reuse, it will generally not tear the ground and seal the city, and only appoint the official system of the city government, which is convenient for the lord to change officials at any time.

Yan Que's father's governance in Peicheng was quite popular, but he died on the embankment due to the treatment of water disease in office, Yan Quan took over his father's will, went to the dam to fight the disaster, and led the people of Peicheng to tide over the crisis, Peicheng people wrote to the people, hoping that he could inherit his father's business and continue to manage Peicheng, plus Tongshan City was already quite large-scale at that time, and the garrison moved south, Yan Su'er's father then received the military power of Peicheng City Guard and transferred it to the Tongshan Military Camp, and appointed Yan Quan as the temporary representative of Peicheng City.

Yan Quan is also conscientious, a few years later, the city generation turned positive, and became a veritable Peicheng Zhishou (the post of the city guard belongs to the military and political management, the Zhishou is equivalent to the county order, the official system between the rivers is more complicated, and the princes are different, repeated), and now they have been doing it in Peicheng for nearly ten years. Under his rule, Peicheng prospered, opened mines and built roads, and prospered in commerce and trade, and his achievements in Peicheng and Yanhu had a good reputation.

This Yan Quen governs Peicheng, before and after more than ten years, the night does not necessarily close the house, the road is not left behind or can, that is to say, Peicheng is in good order, three years ago a fire, Yan Quen also took this opportunity to improve the building structure of Peicheng City, the houses rebuilt on the old site are mostly stone houses and brick houses, and the formulation of the "Folk House Examination" can be called a great progress in planning and design.

Why is this a private affair? In fact, we have to start with the original story of this matter.

A few days ago, an uninvited guest came to the Jinxiangyuan of the banquet---- Li Guo of the Li family in Peicheng, that is, the head of the Li family's family mentioned above.

According to him, two years ago, the Li family was suddenly caught in a fire, his wife and three children and two maidservants were burned alive, this case Li Guo lost his wife and children, the ancestral house ancestral hall was burned, he was definitely a bitter master, suddenly came to Jinxiangyuan, identified himself, Yan Yu'er's heart was soft, and he met him, it turned out that Li Guo was in a trance since the fire two years ago, a little crazy, and insisted that this Yan Qu was the arsonist back then, the reason was that he coveted his wife's beauty, intended to take advantage of his wife's beauty, and broke into the house while he was not at home, in order to cover up the crime, A fire destroyed the corpse.

Yan Su'er knows Yan Qu, the nephew, how can he also be a capable minister, with a good skin, young and a guard, what kind of woman can't be found? Will you like Li Guo's mother-in-law? You must know that Li Guo is also forty years old this year, and his mother-in-law is definitely not young. Even if it is a beautiful country, it will not let Yan Quan fight for his future and reputation, and he has to break into the house to commit murder.

But I couldn't stand Li Guo's pleading, Yan Su'er went to check the file of the Peicheng fire case that year, and there is no doubt that Mrs. Li Guo was reading in the study, accidentally caught fire, Mrs. was really in the study, and the maid in the wing room next to her woke up and planned to put out the fire, and died by the door of the study, and the children who were not taken care of were burned to death on the bed, the only regret is that there is no record of autopsy, in fact, this is not a dereliction of duty, at this time in the river, the autopsy is an unacceptable thing, and most of them have not undergone relevant training. General homicides are nothing more than visual inspections, and a small number of homicides will only be autopsied at the request of the case-handling personnel, and almost no one will think of an autopsy for this kind of death by fire and drowning.

Yan Su'er brought some new forensic concepts in Jiangnan, although they were incompatible with the local situation in Hejian, but they also brought a new thinking to Yanhu City.

Besides, this is still a small county lord, so the small county lord as a female servant has already spread throughout Yanhu, this kind of rumor, on the positive side, can be regarded as popularizing a "forensic common sense" for the people of Yanhu, on the negative side, more people like to discuss how to deal with the "little county lord" when he encounters a male corpse?

Yan Su'er returned to the city for half a year, and there were very few cases that required her autopsy, most of the murder cases were mostly "knives and knives, you live or die" killings, and the murderers almost didn't use tricks, even if it was murder, case handlers such as Ding Zhangqi and Ding Wei could also find clues through other clues and quickly solve the case.

Li Guo felt the expectation from it, and whether he was now suffering from the magic barrier because of the loss of his wife and child, or other reasons, he came to the door to invite Yan'er out of the mountain to find out the cause of death, the small county lord was unwilling to participate, but the autopsy agreed by relatives was very few, and he couldn't bear Li Guo's plea, so he privately agreed to Li Guo.

According to the legal system of Yanhu, the fire case belongs to the category of knowledge and observance, and it belongs to the dereliction of duty of the people's education.

Yan Su'er decided to accept this errand privately, this matter is a private matter of the Li family, because because of the fault of Li Guo's mother-in-law, the Li family was extinct, and their grave did not enter the Li family cemetery, Yan Su'er sent Yang San'er to Peicheng with Li, Li Guo raised the grave on the grounds of moving his own grave, Yang San'er hired a small boat to transport the corpse at night, and unknowingly transported the body to Yanhu City for a private autopsy, which is why there is today's scene.
