Wen Hao pondered for a moment, and ordered someone to call Zhang Zhixian. He put the case files on the old No. 4 Factory and asked, "Where is the criminal now?" ”

Zhang Zhixian said: "Return to your lordship." The culprit is still in the Yamen cell in the county. Not yet sent to hard labor. ”

And the man sent for him. The officer is going to review the case. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Zhixian hesitated for a moment. Peeked at Du Wenhao, "My lord, is there a problem with this case?" ”

Du Wenhao glanced at him: "What, this official mentioned some prison, do you think you have any doubts?" ”

Zhang Zhixian was so panicked that his hands were swinging: "No, no, the sentencing lord mentions all kinds of prisons, where the responsibilities are, all cases can be reviewed, how dare you judge arbitrarily." It's just this, this case,"

Du Wenhao frowned: "What's wrong with this case?" ”

"This case is being reviewed by the prefect."

Du Wenhao smiled faintly: "What Zhang Zhixian means is that the case is going to be wrong, and it has nothing to do with your county, right?" ”

"No, no!" Zhang Zhixian's hands swayed in a panic, and his white beard trembled, "Don't dare to be lowly, don't dare to be lowly!" I'm going to bring the culprit here, please wait. ”

After that, Zhang Zhixian bowed down and took a few steps back, then turned around, secretly wiped a handful of cold sweat, and hurriedly went out.

It is not far from Leping County. Zhang Zhixian was frightened again, so he came and went quickly. Zhang Zhixian came to Du Wenhao's living room first. Bow down and report: "Raise the sentence, the criminal has arrived."

"Bring it in!"

After the three jailers escorted the criminal into the house, the criminal Dr. Xie had already been told that the criminal officer was going to interrogate him, and when he came in, he saw Du Wenhao sitting in the middle, and Zhang Zhixian was standing next to him, and he knew that this one of them should be the criminal officer, although he looked too young, and knelt down to kowtow.

Du Wenhao asked slowly: "Xicun Township Zhongwang family daughter Wang girl, did you kill her?" ”

"Yes! Ah no, it's not" Dr. Xie kowtowed: "Although it is a disease cured by a villain." But the villain didn't mean it. ”

"The verdict didn't say that you were intentional, otherwise, it would not be a quack doctor who pleaded guilty to manslaughter, but cut off your head according to the crime of intentional homicide!"

"Yes, yes! Still, my lord. The little one is really wronged, Miss Wang's disease is too strange, and she is only shallow in learning, and she said that she is afraid that it will not be cured, but Mrs. Wang said that the first two doctors have not been cured, I heard that my medical skills are okay, and I have to be forced to be treated by a small one, so the small one is brave below, and as a result, the small one is wronged. ”

"Forced to heal? Hey. Did he beat you up with his crutches? Or did I tie you up with ropes? ”

"This," not really, but he snorted and cried, saying that if I refused to save his daughter, his daughter would not live. and his wife and concubine knelt down and begged me, and took a piece of silver as a gift of thanks,"

"That's because you're greedy for money, and you don't take the medicine you can to harm people's lives!"

Doctor Xie cried: "The little one is greedy for money, but the girl's illness is already very critical, what the little one said, it may not be cured, don't blame me if it can't be cured, the old lady Wang also agreed, but it was really cured, and they twisted me to the yamen to punish the small wrong."

Du Wenhao said coldly: "Don't be busy shouting grievances first, listen to this official ask you!" Do you remember what the four symptoms of the sharp girl are? ”

"Remember!"

"Tell me about it!"

"The former doctor is Dr. Li of Higashimura. According to him, at the time of the first diagnosis, the pulse was thin, and the ruler was even more chaotic. Qi reversal sleeplessness, coughing and spitting sticky phlegm, five heart irritability, tongue repair and dry throat. Identified as a fever, treated with light yellow mustard, mung bean skin, licorice shoots, honeysuckle, forsythia, and other light cooling agents. After taking two doses, the pre-symptoms did not decrease, but the headache and cough increased. Dr. Han, a doctor in Nishimura, still distinguished the syndrome as fever, saying that the dose was not enough, and slightly increased or decreased the compatibility of the prescription of the previous doctor, and increased the dose of the light and cool antidote. After taking two more doses, the symptoms not only did not decrease. He vomited and fell unconscious. That's why Old Man Wang sent someone to invite someone to go. ”

Du Wenhao stared and listened carefully, and did not interrupt his speech.

Doctor Xie looked gloomy and continued: "When the villain arrived, he examined it in detail and thought that Miss Wang's body was yin deficiency, and yin deficiency was hot, and it was argued as a sign of deficiency and heat. After taking the medicine, Miss Wang's whole body trembled. The lips were purple, the face was pale, and then he was dazed, and the villain hurriedly returned to the yang to save the rebellion, but he didn't expect that he still had no skills to return to the sky.

Du Wenhao carefully inquired about the evidence and the compatibility of the medicine, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and ordered that the person be taken back to the yamen to continue to be detained, and not to be transferred to labor for the time being.

After the people were sent away, Master Shen asked, "My lord, is there any eyebrows in this case?"

Du Wenhao smiled bitterly: "This case is indeed a bit strange, if I can understand it clearly just by listening, it will be a fairy." I still have to investigate this case in detail, and only after I find out what the problem is. ”

"Well, what are we going to do then?"

"Go and call Zhang Zhixian and ask him to send someone to invite the two doctors and the people from the deceased Wang's family, and I will verify them one by one."

At this moment, in the drizzle, Zhang Tianning stood beside Liao Guibing with a humble face, and whispered about Du Wenhao's review of Dr. Xie's case.

Liao Guibing's face was expressionless, his hands were behind his back, and he was holding two pebbles that had been touched black and shiny in his palms, turning back and forth in his palms, and he stood like a stone statue on the side of the road. Looking at the misty distant mountains, I didn't even blink my eyes.

Zhang Tianning saw Liao Guibing's stone Buddha-like appearance, he didn't dare to say more, and waited quietly.

After a long while, Liao Guibing said slowly: "This official has thought about it carefully, there should be no problem with this case, if he wants to investigate, let him investigate!" ”

Zhang Tianning hurriedly took half a step forward, lowered his voice and said, "It's not that I'm worried about the case itself. The one surnamed Xie will be released if he is released, and the lowly post is worried about the Wang family."

Liao Guibing's body shook lightly involuntarily, and he nodded slowly: "Hmm."

Seeing Liao Guibing's expression, Zhang Tianning knew that he was to the point, and hurriedly continued: "If the sentencing lord wants to review this case in detail, he will definitely ask the Wang family, it is better to "

Liao Guibing said softly: "Take precautions!" ”

Zhang Tianning immediately understood, bowed down and said: "The lowly position understood and paused, and continued: "Lord Liao, according to what the lowly position has seen, the Punishment Lord has been aiming at the beautiful girl all day long, and the women around him are more beautiful than the other, and the young ones have four ladies, otherwise, let's do what they like, find a few beautiful girls to send him, and keep him happy."

"No!" Liao Guibing said slowly: "This official originally thought that this master had just stayed in the palace for a long time and wanted to come out and go around, judging from the events of the past few days, this young man is not simple, let's not be self-defeating!" ”

Zhang Tianning smiled dryly: "Yes, yes!" ”

The two were talking. I saw Master Shen coming out of the house from a distance. The two hurriedly greeted and bowed: "What does the master command?" ”

"The Lord has an order, please send someone to call the two doctors in Dr. Xie's case and the people from the Wang family of the bitter master, and the adults have something to ask."

Liao Guibing glanced at Zhang Tianning: "Lord Zhixian, drive Zhuo to send someone to invite." ”

Zhang Tianning smiled bitterly and rubbed his hands and said: "Oh, it's really unfortunate, after the case, those two Lang Zhong were afraid of taking responsibility, so they absconded and disappeared." After the tragic death of the daughter of the Wang family, the Wang family had no intention of staying at the original site, for fear of seeing things and thinking about people's hearts, so they sold their fields and real estate, moved out of the county, and heard that they wanted to return to their ancestral hometown of Beijing. The exact location is not known. ”

Master Shen was slightly stunned, nodded and said, "This is really unfortunate. The old man went back and replied to the lord, this case really can't be investigated in detail. ”

Master Shen arched his hand and went back to the house.

Liao Guibing and Zhang Tianning looked at each other and smiled, walked to the side of the road with their hands behind their backs, and enjoyed the drizzly dusk scenery again.

Early the next morning. Du Wenhao took the women to continue the tour. Liao Guibing and Zhang Tianning wanted to accompany them, but Du Wenhao politely declined. Zhang Tianning sent two more errand officers who accompanied him last time to follow.

It's very hot, and since you want to enjoy the scenery, you can't sit in a sedan chair. Take a stroll. I walked for most of the hour. Ke Yao felt tired again, looked around, walked to the side and sat down on the stone in the shade of the tree, took out a champa and fanned the wind.

Du Wenhao smiled and said, "What? Tired? ”

"Of course. I've been climbing mountains and climbing hurdles for the past few days, so it's strange that I'm not tired.

The officer who followed patted his head and said with a smile: "Master." Why don't you and a few grandmothers wait here, and the little one will bring the carriage and everyone will ride a horse? ”

Ke Yao clapped his hands and said, "Okay, good!" Go now, go now".

Xue Xiu'er smiled bitterly: "No." It's all gone so far, you let them go back to lead the horse, so how long will we wait? ”

The messenger said again and again: "We walked slowly just now, but now the little one is running and riding back, very soon!" ”

Lin Qingdai smiled: "Riding a horse? You can't see a lot of the scenery. ”

Ke Yao said: "I don't care, I can't walk anyway." Brother Yi, you let them go! ”

Du Wenhao looked at her flushed pretty face, and said to the errand with a smile: "Okay, you go and lead the horse, let's wait for you slowly." ”

"Okay, little ones will go right away, soon."

Pang Yuqin said: "Don't worry, don't worry on such a hot day." Beware of heat stroke. ”

"Thank you, little one, let's go!"

The two servants ran away, and soon disappeared.

Du Wenhao smiled at Ke Yao and said: "Look at your eyes in the blink of an eye, you know that you have ghosts, let's just break them up, what do you want to do?" ”

Ke Yao stood up and patted his buttocks: "I don't like them following." It's like you want to spy on us, this Jingjiang Mansion is weird, let's have a private visit to Weifu to find out what's going on, okay?

Du Wenhao looked around at the women: "What do you think?" ”

Xue Jiao'er said: "What is there to visit, is there anything to ask directly?" ”

"No way!" Ke Yao said to Pang Yuqin: "If they are really good officials, they shouldn't let so many ordinary people live in dire straits, and they don't dare to watch them sell their sons and daughters and land!" ”

Lin Qingdai: "Yes, I also think it's weird, this Lord Liao follows us all day long, we just want to understand the suffering of the people, and it's impossible." ”

Du Wenhao and Master Shen looked at each other and smiled, and Master Shen said, "Grandma don't worry, the adults are already confident." ”

"Really?" Ke Yao asked with a pretty face.

Du Wenhao smiled and waved his hand; "Let's go, wait while walking, I didn't see this scenery so fascinating

The group continued to walk forward.

It won't be long. Two messengers hurried back on horseback, dragging a few horses behind them.

An errand officer named Zhao Si led the horse to Ke Yao, flattered him and said, "Miss Ke, come, get on the horse!" ”

Ke Yao gave him a blank look: "Don't sit!" ”

"Ah, isn't the girl tired?"

"I'm tired, but the girl doesn't want to sit, can't she?" As he spoke, he caught up with Du Wenhao with his hands behind his back and continued to walk forward slowly.

The two errand soldiers were confused, so they had to lead the horses and follow.

At this time, there was a rumbling thunder in the sky, and the officer looked up, smashed it twice, and said with a happy face: "It seems that it is going to rain." ”

As we walked slowly, we enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the road, and the dark clouds obscured the sun, and the weather suddenly became gloomy.

Ke Yao said to himself: "This ghost weather, what's the meaning of rain!" ”

Zhao Si replied: Miss doesn't know, our Yangdi is a beautiful scenery when the weather is fine, if it is a rainy day. Then you can really witness the landscape of Yangdi smoke and rain. ”

Ke Yao nodded: "This errand brother is."

Zhao Si smiled honestly and narrowed his eyes into a gap, and said: The small one is from Leping County, that is, the county seat under the jurisdiction of Lord Zhang, so he is very familiar with Yang Di. ”

Ke Yao asked casually: "Then the eldest brother is still quite capable, and the county government errand is also considered the glory of the family, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Si smiled bitterly: "I won't tell you, this field is not easy to grow now, and I also entered the county government at the beginning of this year after I paid money to an acquaintance, hehe." ”

Ke Yao saw that Zhao Si was speaking cautiously, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are married."

Zhao Si scratched his head and said with a smile: "It's done, it's a distant relative of mine." ”

Ke Yao said with his hands behind his back and said in an old-fashioned manner: "That's good, a man must first start a family and then start a business!" ”

Zhao Si: What Miss said is that my woman is also surnamed Ke. ”

Ke Yao was very surprised: "Yes, that doesn't necessarily mean that I am still related."

Zhao Si: "Then how can you have a relationship with you, you are a young lady from a big family who landed with a golden key." ”

Ke Yao smiled: "As the saying goes: The emperor still has two poor relatives, not to mention that I am not a young lady from a big family." Like my brother, I am a homeless person who wanders the world. ”

Zhao Si hurriedly said: "Miss said it was funny." ”

Ke Yao asked again: "Is your daughter-in-law pregnant?" ”

Zhao Sihe nodded twice: "Yes, I was born this winter, and I have thought of the name, called Dongsheng." ”

"Not bad." Ke Yao thought about it, and took out a delicate pendant from the purse around his waist, which was a smiling jade Buddha. Although it was small, it looked good, and handed the pendant to Zhao Si.

Zhao Si was stunned for a moment: "Girl, this is?" ”

Ke Yao raised his hand: "Take it." ”

Zhao Si looked at Du Wenhao timidly, and Du Wenhao smiled and said, "If you give it to you, you will take it, this is her heart." ”

Ke Yao said: "That's it, take it, I have the same surname as your daughter-in-law, there are not many people with the surname Ke in the whole world, and it is difficult for me to send things to others, if you don't want it, you will dislike me."

After hearing this, Zhao Si quickly took it and bowed deeply to Ke Yao: "Thank you, Miss, that person will accept it." ”

Ke Yao was happy: "That's right." I'm glad to take it. ”

Zhao Si carefully put the pendant in his arms, and then said to Ke Yao: Miss is so young and beautiful, Master Du will definitely tell Miss a particularly good family matter. ”

Pang Yuqin snickered on the side, but Ke Yao said indifferently: "I don't want to get married, if anyone dares to say kiss to me, I will be anxious with whom." ”

Everyone laughed, and said without accepting the money: "Miss Ke Yao is just too angry, in fact, she can become a mother early if she marries when she is young." ”

Everyone knows that the money is not collected in the drama Ke Yao, Ke Yao really quietly, stomped his feet and said angrily: "You just laugh at others, be careful that I am angry and take revenge on you." ”

Qian Bu Xu laughed: "At my age, I'm really not afraid of the girl's revenge." ”

Ke Yao: "I also sold you like the people I saw a few days ago." ”

Pang Yuqin said with a smile: "Look, you don't have good things to say in the last few words, how can you talk to Uncle Qian like this?" ”

Qian Bu smiled and said: "Old and decrepit, can eat but can't move, what do people buy to do?" When the Bodhisattva is offering? Hehehe"

Ke Yao glared at him, turned his head and asked Zhao Sidao, "Hey! Fourth Brother Zhao, you say, at his age, how much silver can he sell in your Jingjiang Mansion? ”

Zhao Si said with a smile: "Our Jingjiang Mansion" has no human sales. ”

"Isn't it!" Ke Yao said with a look of surprise: "A few days ago, we saw someone selling his daughter, but unfortunately there are already a lot of us in our group, and it is inconvenient to bring it again, by the way, little brother, why don't I buy it for you to serve your wife?" ”

Zhao Si hurriedly waved his hand and said: Miss, this joke can't be made, my father said, this is not good, although life has been difficult these years, but you can't do this kind of unconscionable thing. ”

Du Wenhao smiled: "I can't see that Zhao Si is still a kind-hearted person. ”

Zhao Si smiled stupidly: "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Ke Yao asked again: "Do you have any children and daughters in Leping County?" ”

Zhao Si hesitated slightly. Dao: The little one, "The little one really didn't see it." ”

In the evening, they returned to their accommodations.

At this time, there was still a light rain in the sky. Dinner was arranged at a farmhouse.

Liao Guibing personally gave Du Wenhao a red oil bamboo umbrella, most of the umbrella was covered by Du Wenhao, his shoulders and head were wet, but Du Wenhao didn't know, pointed to the courtyard in front of him and said to Liao Guibing: "Lord Liao, what kind of place is this?" ”

Liao Guibing explained: "This is a small inn built by a farmer in Yangdi. The inn of Yangdi is a little different from other places, most of the local people are expanding on the location of their own houses, and they can also live when there are no guests on weekdays, but Lord Du can rest assured, the inn is divided into front yard and backyard, and we have checked the safety aspect, you can rest assured. ”

Ke Yao said with a smile: "On the way, my brother praised you, saying that Lord Liao had nothing to worry about when he was doing things." ”

Liao Guibing's eyebrows moved, shook off the rain, and bowed down with a smile: "I haven't done my humble job yet."

The two slowly walked under the eaves. Du Wenhao turned his head sideways, as if he had just seen it, and said in surprise: "Ouch, Lord Liao, you gave me all the umbrellas to block the rain, look at yourself." Drenched on one head and one shoulder, all wet! ”

"It's okay, it's okay! Hehe, the lowly job is feeling the heat, by relieving the heat, hehehe"
