Chapter 41, the dead body under the rockery
It turned out that the gate of this Zhuangzi was only covered, and there was no bolt inside.
There was such a big movement at the gate, and there was still no response inside.
"Go in and search!" Fang Zhutou ordered his subordinates to bring a few servants.
"Yes, sir." Several officials received the order, dispersed, and looked around in this village.
Shen Muxia inspected them, and walked towards the best house built in Zhuangzi.
This no matter in that era, if you want to find someone with a higher status, you will go to a good house.
Taiping County is at the foot of the Yellow Mountain, the scenery is still very pleasant, there are many Zhuangzi in the vicinity, if it is just farming, there is really no big output.
There are a lot of them used to let the masters recuperate.
Therefore, in these villages, each family has a few relatively good courtyards for the masters to live in.
It was noon at this moment, but it was quiet in this village, and there was not even a single figure
Where have all the people gone?
The scenery in Zhuangzi is indeed good, especially in autumn, the sky is high and refreshing, and the scenery is pleasant.
He and Xia inspected the inspection, and along the way, they probably walked nearly a hundred steps and saw a pavilion in Zhuangzi.
The location of this pavilion is very high, you can see it from a distance, and it is very exquisitely built.
In the pavilion, you can faintly see a table and chairs for four people.
However, there was no one to be found.
There is an artificially carved rockery on one side of the pavilion, and there is a pool under the rockery, and the water on the rockery is slowly left from below.
The water is clear and the bottom is faintly visible.
In addition to this rockery, the other three sides of the pavilion are surrounded by flowers.
The red flowers in full bloom in autumn are lazily enjoying the last tenderness of autumn in the wind.
But that's not the point, the point is that a priest found a corpse in the flowers under this pavilion.
Before this corpse died, it may have been standing in front of the pavilion talking to someone, when it was suddenly attacked by the other party.
The one who fell on his back still had a look of horror and disbelief on his face.
The cause of death was: a stab to the heart.
The man fell into the flowers, pressing them out of a hollow, and it was only then that he caught the attention of the searching officials.
Shen Mu squatted down, ready to check the body's signs after death.
Seeing this, the big tiger hurriedly jumped up and said, "Boss, are you going to turn this corpse's back over?" ”
Dahu always felt that since a few days ago, the kitten deduced that the boss had a bloody disaster, and what happened in the past few days really made him dizzy.
Before, he didn't think much of it, but after today's incident in the courtyard of the government prison, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a certain distance between him and Mu Ge'er.
His mind couldn't keep up with this playmate he had known since childhood.
Although he used to think that Brother Mu was more stubborn and sometimes had more ideas, he didn't know that Brother Mu was so bold that he dared to say anything and do anything.
He had a hunch that such a Mu Ge'er might not be willing to stay in a small place like Taiping County and become a gangster on the street when he couldn't study, but he had greater ambitions.
Before today, he really never thought that one day in the future he might have the opportunity to get out of this small Taiping County and go to Fucheng and Nanjing City.
But now, he suddenly found that he had developed a strong yearning for those places.
I want to see what kind of places those dignitaries gather, and what kind of life those people are living.
……
Although he couldn't understand what happened today, he knew that if Brother Mu was developed in the future, he could also get some scenery as a good partner.
Therefore, from now on, he must redouble his favor in front of Mu Ge'er.
In this way, in front of the little white kitten and the cow egg, he has more face.
"Well, peel off the corpse's cloak a bit, and I'll take a look." Seeing that the big tiger wanted to help, Shen Mu didn't stop it.
Although the blood stain from the only wound on this corpse's body had dried up, this purple-black blood stain still made him frown.
The big tiger family kills pigs, and it is commonplace to treat things like blood.
Besides, Dahu seems to be really interested in autopsy, and he has followed Xu Chengzuo in the county on weekdays.
I also know a little about the autopsy.
It's just that he is a cheap person in Daming, and Dahu may have been just interested in it before, but he didn't have a career appeal in this regard.
Now, since he plans to cultivate Dahu as his own team, there should be a division of labor according to their interests.
Although his goal at this stage is to enter the Jinyi Guard and become a member of it, he believes that no matter how bad his luck is, he no longer has a family background to rely on, how can he get mixed into the position of the Jinyi Guard he sees today in the future.
At that time, it is impossible for him to do everything himself, which requires the big tigers who can be trusted to take charge alone.
Dahu used a flower branch to remove the corpse's coat, and Shen Mu saw the corpse spots on the corpse.
Judging from the corpse spots, the corpse had been dead for at least five or six hours.
According to the time, this body should have been killed last night.
Judging from the clothing of the corpse, this person was not very rich and noble before his death, but more like an entourage of guards, with calluses on his fingers that had been sharpened by martial arts.
But in the past few years, the living situation has improved, and it has become a little pampered, not only the body is a little fat, but the hair quality on the bun should also be regularly cared for, unlike the messy and dry like ordinary people.
When Shen Mu was already inspecting the body, Xia Patrol and a few officials surrounded him.
Because Xu Chengzuo had already inspected the corpses of Feng Da and Mei Gongzi's master and servant this morning, this time Xu Yanzuo did not come to Mei's Zhuangzi with Shen Muxia to inspect them.
So when Shen Mu inspected the corpse, Xia inspected them, and they didn't stop them, but watched from the side.
At this time, after seeing Shen Mu inspect the body and stand up, Xia Inspector said, "Fang Zhutou, who is this, have you ever seen it?" ”
"Back to the adult, most of the Zhuangzi in the south of the city are located outside the city, and it is the Zhuangzi of many nobles, these nobles generally have slaves to accompany them, and those of us who are on errands are afraid of colliding with people who should not be rushed, rarely come here, like the person who died in front of him, is really a fresh face. I really haven't seen the old side. ”
"Well, since I haven't seen it, I'll take it back first. This Zhuangzi won't be just this one dead man, right? How's your search? ”
"Lord Inspector, Fang Zhutou, over there...... Over there...... There were still a few dead people in the yard. A servant trotted in return with a panting.
"What? How many dead people are there? He's a damn, what's going on lately, there are so many dead people? ”
Xia Patrol was originally a straightforward character, and after being inspected, it was quite smooth, but there were too many things that happened in the past few days, which gave him a headache.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to Shen Mu and said, "Virtuous nephew, what do you think?" ”
