Two days later, the village suddenly became nervous, because the county magistrate came to investigate the death of Zhou Sheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The village chief, the village chief and Yang Sanlao were all present, standing at the entrance of the village waiting for the arrival of the county order, obviously this time Zhou Sheng's death brought a great shock to Fuzhou City, and even the county order appeared in person.
The county order was Zhang Youke's cousin Feng Lu, and Gao Zhong and Yang Sanlao had met once.
Feng Lu came to bring enough people this time, more than 20 people in the third room, three people, and one master, the most noticeable thing is a middle-aged man who followed Feng Lu, his face was full of scars, and he had the air of a soldier, and he was born as a soldier at first glance.
After Feng Lu arrived in the village, he didn't say a word, but called the three elders and his party to go to the Zhou family's house to investigate, and called Gao Wei by the way, and later he would dig up Zhou Sheng's body and hand it over to him for an autopsy.
Seeing Gao Wei go out, Gao Zhong and Gao Shangwu also followed, following behind Gao Wei.
The village has not been an official for a long time, especially the county order level of the big man, less than a cup of tea Kung Fu Zhou family old house is gathered a large number of people, they three layers inside and three layers outside the Zhou family house, like a cordon.
When they arrived at the scene, the squad officer entered the ruins after the fire without saying a word, and began to rummage through them, and they worked in groups of three to inspect them in detail.
After a fire, the entire Zhou family house has already been burned beyond recognition, the ground is full of coke, and the weather in the southwest is humid, the coke is all wet, and it is scattered into several pieces at a slight touch, although no one came to the scene, but now it is destroyed and cannot be identified.
"I heard that the fire in Xiucai's house this week was caused by thunder on dry land, and the lightning struck his house?"
Feng Lu glanced at the people around him and asked.
At this moment, standing beside Feng Lu, in addition to the man with scars on his face, there were also Yang Sanlao, the village chief, the village Zheng and Gao Wei.
"I heard the sound, it was very big, it was like thunder! At that time, everyone made a fire and cooked at home, and where did I have the heart to listen to the sound of that thing. But the old people in the village said that it was thunder! ā
The village chief said to Feng Lu.
"That's right, it should be thunder, but there are people in the village who say that something has fallen from the sky, so it's complicated."
Muramasa nodded and agreed.
"Old Wu, what do you think of being born in the army?"
Feng Lu had an idea in his heart when he heard this, and asked the middle-aged man beside him.
"Artillery, heavy artillery!"
The man named Lao Wu had a deep voice and spoke very briefly, as if he was very sorry to speak.
"Artillery? You're kidding, there is no smell of gunpowder at this scene, and second, the southwest is not like a plain, and the artillery is heavy and large, and it is impossible to transport it up the mountain. ā
Feng Lu shook his head, the southwest is not like the plain, this artillery is too heavy, there are many small roads in the southwest, and there are many roads up and down the mountain, and a cannon is too cumbersome, and it is not suitable for shuttling in the mountains at all.
And after a few days of volatilization, the smell of gunpowder at the scene has all dissipated, and there is no smell left.
"If it's not artillery, it's a natural disaster!"
Old Wu frowned for a moment, and then responded.
"I know what you're trying to say, you suspect that someone here can build artillery, but although we in the southwest are weird and biased, we don't know much about that thing. That thing can't be made by the imperial court now, let alone this southwest boundary! ā
Looking at Lao Wu, Feng Lu had a smile on his face.
As he spoke, suddenly Feng Lu turned his head and looked at Gao Wei not far away: "Gao Wei, I heard that you are from a foreign country, and there is a conflict between your family and this Zhou family, could it be that you made a cannon that blew up the two members of this Zhou family?" ā
Hearing this, Gao Weidang panicked: "Master, you can't make this joke, I'm an honest peasant, how could I make that thing!" ā
"I'm just joking," Feng Lu didn't look at Gao Wei, but turned his gaze to the side of the officer: "What did you find?" ā
"Tell you, the scene is not burning, and because of the humid weather, the scene is no longer in shape. Except for being able to tell that the fire should have been burned from the outside, the rest could not be judged! ā
The officials are sophisticated, but they are also difficult to face such a scene: "But this fire is really weird, everything is burned to pieces, I have never seen such a fire." ā
It stands to reason that there should be something left after the fire, but after this fire there was nothing but some piece of coke.
"That's really strange," Feng Lu frowned: "Let's go, take us to see Zhou Xiucai's body, and we'll open the coffin for an autopsy." ā
"Okay, sir, please come here!"
Gao Wei walked in front and began to lead the way for Feng Lu and the others.
Zhou Xiucai was buried by Gao Wei in a field not far from his home, and after Gao Wei pointed to the mound where Zhou Xiucai was buried, several squad officials began to dig Zhou Xiucai's grave with hoes.
Gao Wei didn't sell it very carefully, so a few servant-level hoes dug up a straw mat, and the straw mat was not even bundled, so it was directly brought into the soil, and after digging it out, the straw mat was opened directly.
"How bad is this person, he didn't even have a coffin after he died!"
Feng Lu shook his head when he saw this scene, and then stepped forward with his work.
When the people in the village saw this scene, they felt that it was nothing, all of this was what Zhou Xiucai deserved, and there were many people who secretly gave him a thumbs up for Gao Wei's approach.
When he walked over and saw the corpse, Feng Lu had a sad face: "It's all burned like this?" ā
Unlike ordinary corpses, Zhou Sheng's body did not smell of corpses when he was dug up, not even the smell, because what was displayed in front of Feng Lu was a piece of coke, a piece of humanoid coke.
"Can you find out the cause of death?"
Turning his face, Feng Lu asked the three servants on the side.
They glanced at each other, and then one of them shook his hands and said, "The villain can only do his best!" ā
Seeing such an answer, Feng Lu could only nod and signal that they could start.
The three servants soon came to Zhou Sheng's corpse and began to test it according to the usual method.
Quack!
Quack!
Quack!
But as soon as he touched the corpse, three crisp voices followed, and the faces of the three servants immediately turned pale.
One of the three of them checked their heads, but the fragile head fell directly, and the other two checked their chests, but they only touched them lightly, and the entire ribcage collapsed directly.
This is good, Zhou Sheng died directly without a whole body.
