Chapter 179: The Honest Land Protector

As Fu Guibao spoke, he wanted to go to the courtyard wall, it seemed that he was full of interest, but he was pulled by Li Rizhi and said: "Are you crazy, this is not Xingyang, this Taoist temple dares to do such a thing, there must be a backer behind it, we have no foundation here, and we take the liberty of making a move, if we are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Chen Yingying also said: "Yes, yes, have you forgotten, that corpse was killed, maybe it was to peek, it was caught by the people in the Taoist temple, and it was beaten to death, let's go back first, wait for me to gather a group of subordinates, and then come here to peek......"

Cheng Zizi said, "Did you say that you called those servants of your family and brought brooms?" They all seem to be good at cleaning, but they're not good at fighting! ”

Li Rizhi snorted and said, "This is not in a hurry, since they have nothing to fear, then let them wait!" ”

After that, the four of them immediately returned the same way, and ran back to the Taoist Temple, although the Taoist Institute is relatively poor, but after all, it is a normal temple, and the monks are all real monks.

When they returned to the Taoist Temple, Dibao had already come, it was a middle-aged man who looked very honest on the outside, and the monks called him Ding Shizhu, Li Rizhi asked a little, and a monk told him that Dibao's real name was Ding Hotou, and he was a person from Dingjia Village not far away.

Ding hoe squatted by the river, looking at the corpse, he didn't dare to go down and fish up the corpse, but his face was full of anxiety, and he kept sighing, it can be seen that he has no good way, an honest person, when he encounters something, he is anxious and sighs.

Ding Hotou said with a sad face: "It's already this hour, it's too late to go to the city now, I can't go to the county government to report the official, I can only tomorrow morning!" ”

Li Rizhi walked in front of Ding Hoe and said, "Your name is Ding Hoe, are you the land protector here?" ”

Ding Hotou raised his head, looked at Li Rizhi, hummed, but didn't answer, and didn't know what he muttered, so he lowered his head again and went to see the corpse in the river, still sighing and sighing.

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "This land protection can't be a problem with the brain, right?" ”

At this time, Quan Shufang came over and knew to Li Ri: "Brother Li, I have already investigated just now, and this corpse must have drifted here from the upstream......

Fu Guibao couldn't help but interject: "Do you still need to investigate, this corpse must not have drifted up from downstream!" ”

Quan Shufang was interrupted by him, but he was not angry, paused slightly, and nodded: "You analyze it like this, and you are right, the result of our analysis is the same, and the possibility of drifting from the downstream is ruled out." Looking at the appearance of the corpse, it should have been soaked in the water for more than five days, maybe six or seven days, maybe six or seven days, I just asked, this river flows from the east, according to the time of more than five days, it should be out of the Chang'an boundary......"

Quan Shufang was very proud to show off what he had analyzed just now to Li Rizhi, Li Rizhi was silent, he was always bad at refuting Quan Shufang, in front of so many people, he didn't give face to all his classmates!

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi had strange expressions on their faces, Chen Yingying opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, the three of them didn't make a sound, just silently listened to the analysis of the whole bundle.

There were also a few scholars next to him, they were all bold and dared to come over to see the corpse, but they were also obviously the kind of people who read a lot but had no practical experience at all, so they all felt that Quan Shufang's analysis was very correct, and they nodded quite a bit.

After analyzing it, Quan Shufang said: "So, the top priority now is also the most critical part is to do a test, put a corpse, well, cattle and sheep, let it go downstream, and see if it will drift here on the fifth day, then the location of the crime can be determined, although this measurement is a waste of time, but you can accurately know the location of the crime, and the case can almost be solved." ”

After Li Rizhi listened to his analysis, he was unmistakable for a while, and he had the intention to correct Quanshufang's statement, but he felt that there was no need for this, anyway, the people in the yamen came, and they would not solve the case according to Quanshufang's statement, so that Quanshufang always thought that his method was good and psychologically satisfied, wouldn't it be a good thing for him!

Looking at Ding Dibao, who was still squatting and worried, Li Rizhi asked, "Classmate, you also asked this Ding Dibao and scared him?" ”

Quan Shufang was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "How can I scare him, I just analyzed the seriousness of this case for him, anyway, if this case is solved, it will be a waste of time, and during this time, as a land security, it is estimated that he will not be able to work in the field, if it becomes a headless case, then he is even more unlucky, maybe the funeral expenses of this corpse will all have to be paid by him, who made him a land security!" ”

Li Rizhi shook his head and said, "Isn't this a scare, the funeral expenses of this corpse will naturally be borne by the government, and a local security officer will never be allowed to bear it." ”

Ding Hotou heard this, raised his head again, glanced at Li Rizhi, and stammered and asked, "You really won't let me bury it, this matter has nothing to do with me!" ”

Quan Shufang said: "You are the earth protector, this corpse was found on the territory you are responsible for, how can it have nothing to do with you, it has a lot to do with you!" ”

When Ding Hotou heard this, he suddenly became smart and said, "Then, what if it wasn't found in the realm I was responsible for?" ”

It seems that he wants to take the corpse off the branch and let the corpse drift again, maybe tomorrow he will be able to drift to another place to protect the realm.

Li Ri knew: "You better take a good look at this corpse, and then go to report to the official at dawn tomorrow, don't think about anything, if you lose the body, maybe the government will think that you killed the person, and the headless case has become a case with a head, and the head that is your head is really unlucky!" ”

Dispelling Ding Hoe's crooked brain, Li Rizhi took Fu Guibao and them back to the temple, and the monks in the temple prepared meals for them, but Li Rizhi thought that these meals were made of river water, so he really had no interest in eating, anyway, if he didn't eat a meal, he wouldn't faint from hunger, and none of the four of them ate, not even water, and went into the house to rest.

The Ding hoe was really honest, and he was afraid that the government would investigate it, so he really squatted by the river honestly, guarding the corpse all night, Li Rizhi got up early, and the fish belly was just white in the east, so he went to the river, and saw that there was only Ding Hoe alone by the river, so he immediately walked over.

Li Rizhi wanted to ask Ding Hotou something about Jidou Guan, there was Quanshu Fang they were present last night, he was not good at asking, there was no one else at this time, and it was just the most suitable for him to ask.

Ding Hoe leaned against a tree in a daze, Li Rizhi came to him and patted him gently, Ding Hoe was excited, sobered up, and saw that it was Li Rizhi, although he didn't recognize this scholar, but he was very annoyed by Quan Shufang yesterday, so when he saw Li Rizhi, his attitude was not so friendly.

Li Rizhi didn't care, his attitude was friendly, it was one way to ask, and if his attitude was not friendly, it was not another way to ask, it was the same for him.

Li Ri knew: "Your name is Ding Hoe, isn't it, and you rent the field where you accumulate beans?" ”

Ding Hoe hummed angrily, glanced at Li Rizhi with slanted eyes, and said, "Yes, so what!" Are you going to ask me again which state is five days away from here? I really don't know, I haven't been away from home for more than five days at all, where do I know which state it is, you don't bother me! ”

Li Rizhi shook his head slightly, and said: "I'm not here to ask you this, I'm here to ask you, since you have rented the field of Jidouguan, why do you bully them those female monks, they are all female Taoist monks, even if you don't take care of them, you can't bully them, your character is too bad!" ”

Ding Hoe was stunned for a moment, then became furious, jumped up, and said angrily: "You lie, I haven't bullied them, except for signing a contract to pay rent, I have avoided Jidouguan and walked, I didn't even see them, how could I bully them, you are slandering me, I will beat you!" ”

Ding Hotou raised his fist and wanted to hit Li Rizhi, but Li Rizhi was afraid of him, and he also jumped up, he was much taller than Ding Hotou, and he was much stronger, especially with a glare, Ding Hoe was scared to retreat!

Feeling that one person couldn't beat Li Rizhi, Ding Hoe said angrily: "You wait, I'll call someone to go, you wait, don't run!" ”

Saying that, he was going to find someone, he was a local land security, if he wanted to find someone to beat Li Rizhi, it must be quite easy, he couldn't call one hundred and eighty people, but if he called ten or twenty people, there should be no problem at all.

Li Rizhi laughed and said, "Okay, you go, I'll take this corpse away when you leave, and then say that you destroyed the corpse, I can recognize Peng County's order, and see how he cleans you up then!" ”

Ding Hoe was stunned for a moment, he wanted to beat Li Rizhi again, and he was afraid that if he went to call someone now, the corpse was moved by Li Rizhi, and the result was that he didn't go, and he didn't go, and in a fit of anger, he actually squatted down again, but he just turned his head and didn't look at Li Rizhi, that's all.

It's no wonder that the monks in the Taoist courtyard say that Ding Hoe is honest, he is not only honest, but he already has some pockets, showing the honest and deceitful characteristics of the lowest people in the Tang Dynasty to the fullest.

However, if such an honest person is bullied and breaks out, it will be very scary!

Li Rizhi coughed and said, "Haven't you bullied the female Taoist priest in Jidou Temple?" Then I heard from them that you, the land protector, have dishonest eyes and always glance at them? ”

Ding hoe hurriedly said: "What, how can there be, I never dare to look at them more, besides, where do they care about men looking at them, others don't know, but I know!" ”

Li Rizhi smiled slightly, thinking, "I knew you would definitely know something." ”

Pretending not to believe it, Li Rizhi said again: "You said that the immortals who seek children in their views are not spiritual, are you saying this!" ”

Li Rizhi thinks that an honest person like Ding Hoetou, if he knows any rumors, he may not care about it, but if he talks to acquaintances in private, it will definitely happen, at least he will definitely tell his family, and he can't guarantee whether the family's mouth will be kept secret.

Sure enough, Ding Hotou's face suddenly showed a panicked look, and he stammered: "I, I, I didn't say it, don't say it, then, that's none of my business!" ”

Li Ri knew: "There are often beautiful women in the Jidouguan, and there are young men in and out, these words, you dare to say that you didn't say it, if it wasn't what you said, then why don't you dare to get close to the Jidouguan, it's because you're afraid that those young men will beat you!" ”

Ding hoe was even more panicked, he did not deny that he was afraid of being beaten, but of course he did not admit it, judging from the situation that he wanted to call someone to beat Li Rizhi just now, he must have had a conflict with Guanli because of the young man's affairs, after all, he is a land protector, and even if he doesn't want to take care of some things, he has to ask.

But he couldn't afford to provoke the young man in Jidouguan, and he must have suffered a small loss, so he didn't dare to go again, and he also said some gossip in private, otherwise Li Rizhi asked about these words, he only needed to despise Guanli, or simply not answer, there was no need to panic at all.

As soon as Li Rizhi saw his expression, he knew that he had expected it right, and he was thinking about forcing it again and letting Ding Hoe say a little more about it, but at this time, the whole bundle came.

This man is not the right time to come!
