Chapter 10: Country Holmes
In his previous life, Shen Ze was a small township civil servant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are few things in the township, and he is very bored every day, in addition to drinking tea and farting with his colleagues, Shen Ze likes all kinds of reasoning and suspense novels.
Not to mention, I have read too many mystery novels, and Shen Ze's reasoning level is also increasing day by day.
Back then, Shen Ze successfully found out the real cause of the death of the old man's sow based on careful on-site investigation and rigorous logical reasoning.
According to the slightest clue of the lost location of Zhao Laosan's goat, he successfully found the lost goat.
Shen Ze was once famous, and was praised as "Country Holmes" by colleagues and fellow villagers.
When Shen Ze was eating melons and watching from the side, he carefully looked at the death of the corpse, and then carefully observed the Qian Yuanwai, as if he really saw something.
Of course, Shen Ze would never tell Zhang Zhixian, a faint official, about his reasoning. Seeing Zhang Zhixian embarrassed was a happy thing for Shen Ze.
Who told you to create unjust, false and wrongful cases, who told you to be so handsome, you deserve to be unlucky!
It is undeniable that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are very good-looking, and that Zhang Zhixian is forty years old, and he still looks so personable, Shen Ze is very jealous!
Gao Ying has been beside Shen Ze all the time, she just saw Shen Ze carefully observing the corpse and the fat man, with a look of suddenly understanding something, and seeing his gloating appearance, she seemed to have made up her mind to see Zhang Zhixian lively, with her temperament of liking righteousness and bravery, she couldn't help but be annoyed!
"If you don't do what is righteous, the gentleman is ashamed!"
"I'm a villain, not a gentleman!"
"Uh...... You're so honest! ”
"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is often related!"
"Aren't you a villain? Why are you so open? ”
"Can I say I'm misnounning?"
“……”
Gao Ying was speechless, it seemed that she had always been inferior in the battle between her mouths.
However, Shen Ze seems to have forgotten that Gao Ying is a very skilled heroine, and heroines generally like to use their hands more than their mouths.
Gao Ying and Shen Ze didn't take advantage of the confrontation, so they started directly. She pushed Shen Ze out, and then said loudly to Zhang Zhixian: "Uncle Zhang, this scholar said that he knows how this person died!" ”
Everyone's eyes shot at Shen Ze in unison.
Shen Ze sweated, I have to say that Shen Ze didn't like the feeling of being watched.
"your mother~, what are you? What do you have to say that you know how my brother died? Tell you, my father has done the imperial history of the capital, hum! When Qian Yuan saw such a person coming out of the cold, he couldn't help but be furious, and pointed at Shen Ze's nose and scolded. Of course, it is indispensable to move out his father by the way to intimidate Shen Ze, which means: This idle matter is not something you can manage.
Shen Ze couldn't help but sneer: Your father's mother~ can you bite the official, can you bite me? I'm not an official! Besides, your father's imperial history is the old emperor's calendar in the Chenghua period, and he still shows off his fart. I'm afraid that the more I hold the old emperor's calendar, the more it shows that I am very bad now!
"Fatty, just talk when you talk, don't spray the spit stars in my face, okay? I hate bad breath people the most! ”
It feels very bad to be scolded by someone pointing at your nose, especially being scolded by someone with bad breath. Shen Ze glanced fiercely at the culprit who caused him to be scolded, and Gao Ying returned Shen Ze with a smug smile.
"You, you ......" Qian Yuanwai pointed at Shen Ze, his cheeks were bloody, but he couldn't say a word. Obviously, when encountering Shen Ze, who is not afraid of his identity, Qian Yuanwai didn't know what to do for a while.
Zhang Zhixian was entangled and coerced by Qian Yuanwai for a while, and he really couldn't find out the cause of Qian Yuanwai's death, and when he was at a loss, when he heard Gao Ying's words, he couldn't help but grasp the straw that saved his life.
"Brother Qian, what's the point of letting this scholar take a look? Maybe we can really find out the cause of Brother Ling's death! ”
"Hmph", Qian Yuanwai flicked his sleeves angrily at Zhang Zhixian.
"Shen Gongzi, please take a look!" The tone of the magistrate is very easy-going and polite, and he does not have the momentum of yesterday in the court, and a word can determine how much money a person will ruin.
Shen Ze was helpless, the county lord was so polite, if he didn't make a move, it seemed that there would be no good fruit to eat.
Shen Ze had no choice but to step forward to investigate.
However, Shen Ze is still very interested in solving this case. It is undeniable that it is a very rewarding thing to find out the cause of things through one's own observation and logical reasoning.
It's a pity that he, the country Sherlock Holmes, has never had a chance in later generations, so he can only try his skills in finding the cause of the sow's death and finding the lost goat. Now that he has the opportunity to show his strengths, Shen Ze is a little inexplicably excited in his heart!
At that moment, Shen Ze first asked for the county government's servant, and looked at the corpse in his hand.
In addition to the name and place of origin of the deceased, the corpse of this era is very simple, with a slightly chubby body, a slightly black face, a bloated abdomen, and no signs of poisoning, and a few simple words of record, which are really worthless.
After looking at the corpse, Shen Ze squatted down and opened the deceased's mouth to look at it, then opened his eyelids and glanced at it, then pressed the abdomen of the corpse, and then carefully looked at the deceased's clothes, and basically confirmed his guess just now.
Shen Ze got up and saluted Zhang Zhixian and said, "County Zun, according to the students, this person is afraid that he has eaten too much and will die!" ”
As soon as Shen Ze's words came out, the people who were watching around the melon were in an uproar and discussed.
"Put your mother's ~ bullshit, Lao Tzu will kill you!" Qian Yuan's appearance was like a battle, and when he heard Shen Ze's words, he suddenly exploded, his face was red, his eyes were spitting fire, and he looked like he wanted to step forward desperately.
When Shen Ze saw this posture, he couldn't help but be startled.
The hero didn't eat the loss in front of him, he hurriedly took a few steps back to avoid the critical range outside the money officer, but he didn't show weakness at all in his mouth: "Fatty, I think if your brother is not killed, he must be killed by your brother!" ”
Shen Ze saw the excessive reaction of Qian Yuan, but he was more sure of his judgment. Although Qian Yuan has a terrifying posture outside, he is obviously fierce and inward.
"How could I hurt my brother?" Qian Yuanwai listened to Shen Ze's words, and couldn't help but be stunned, and his momentum was also weak.
"Then why do you keep obstructing me from finding out the cause of your brother's death!"
"I ...... Where am I getting in the way? Qian Yuan said with a white face.
Zhang Zhixian saw that the two were entangled, and hurriedly came out to play a round: "Brother Qian, let's listen to what he says, if he doesn't say it right, it's not too late to have another attack!" ”
Qian Yuanwai listened to Zhang Zhixian's words, flashed to the side and looked at Shen Ze with cold eyes, intending to hear what Shen Ze had to say. If Shen Ze said it wrong, he didn't plan to be good.
Damn, the county respects you ~ It's too inauthentic, Shen Ze is very depressed, I'm here to help you, okay? What do you mean that if you say it incorrectly, it's not too late to attack me again? You're obviously trying to divert the target of hatred.
Looking at this posture, if he hadn't come up with dry goods, this fat man probably wouldn't have given up with us!
Fortunately, Shen Ze was still quite confident in his judgment, and at that moment he arched his hand towards Zhang Zhixian and said: "Lord County, according to the students, I am afraid that this Qian man has already fallen into the middle of the road, and even food and clothing have become a problem. If the student's expectations are not bad, the brother of Qian Yuanwai is afraid that he will meet some old acquaintance today, so he invited the two to have a banquet at the restaurant on the bank of the Nanyang River. Qian Yuanwai's brother must have not seen oil meat for a long time, and at first glance, he saw a lot of oil and meat, coupled with overeating, his stomach must be unbearable.
The brother outside the money clerk took care of his face, so he had to forcibly endure it at that time and not let himself spit it out. As soon as I got out of the restaurant, I immediately wanted to find a place where no one was there and vomited. So he walked quickly, and this acceleration made things worse. When I got here, my stomach was so big that the food finally cracked, and the stomach acid, uh, that is, bitter bile, seeped into the internal organs, and I died violently here! ”
"Put your mother's fart~ a bunch of nonsense, how can Lao Tzu be in the middle of the road?! How could my brother die because of a restaurant?! ”
Shen Ze looked at Qian Yuan, and said with some pity: "The two wrenches on your brother's hand, as well as the three gold rings and one jade ring on your hand, are all fakes!" If what you say is true, we can now ask the old courtier of the pawnshop to identify it. And I saw just now that your brother's inner clothes have many patches, which are already very worn, only the outer robe is decent, but the creases have turned white. This must be the only decent dress left, which is only worn when going out, and is usually folded and reluctant to wear. And your robe is the same, if you lift your robe, I'm afraid that your inner clothes will also have a lot of patches!
And you keep saying that your father once made the imperial history of the capital, then your house must be not small, but I asked the villagers just now, no one knows where your family is in Qingzhou City? Others only often hear your brother brag about your father's identity in the tea shop, and only then do they know that your father has been the imperial history of the capital. In my estimation, I'm afraid that your house has already been sold by you! ”
Listening to Shen Ze's words, the melon-eating people around couldn't help whispering, and everyone asked each other, as if no one really knew where the money clerk's family was? !
Shen Ze paused, and then said: "If you still don't admit it, then let the county magistrate's servant open your brother's body on the spot and check it." I can assure him that his stomach must have been several times larger than the average person, and the stomach lining had burst. If you don't believe me, you can find an old man who has accumulated years to identify it, or go to a mass grave to find an ownerless corpse to compare. If I'm wrong, I'm scolded! ”
Qian Yuanwai listened to Shen Ze's reasoning, his cheeks were red, and he couldn't say a word, obviously acquiescing to Shen Ze's words in line with the facts.
Shen Ze continued: "Outside the Qian Yuan, it is March now, the weather is gradually getting warmer, and the corpses are easy to decompose, so it is always chilling for my brother's violent corpses on the streets. Please also ask the staff to mourn, and quickly collect the corpse of Brother Ling, so that he can be buried as soon as possible! ”
Saying that, Shen Ze saluted Zhang Zhixian again: "County Zun, it's always bad for someone in the county to die violently on the street, I don't know if the county can export the thin coffin and help restrain it!" ”
Zhang Zhixian shook his beard and said: "It should be like this!" As he spoke, he turned to the leaders of the fast catchers behind him and said, "Li Xiangrong, you quickly take a few people to order a coffin and help the money clerk collect his brother's corpse!" ”
Qian Yuanwai was like a defeated quail at this time, and he only said that he was right, and he no longer had the arrogant appearance just now.
