"Walking?" Zhu Mingyang saw Li Chunfeng's smile and his face was confused. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Do you really think that this Liu Yan will be in awe of you because you helped His Majesty find a miracle doctor? Or is your five-grade Yongzhou Sima a deterrent? Li Chunfeng looked at Zhu Mingyang with a smile on his face.
"Isn't it?" Zhu Mingyang thought for a moment and asked rhetorically.
"I have been an official in the same dynasty as Liu Yan for many years, I know him too well, he is an old fox. There is a human life case at the feet of the Son of Heaven, presumably this Liu Yan's life is not easy, if my guess is right, Liu Yan is being forced to close the case, but this Liu Yan is not the kind of foolish official, just find a scapegoat to top the bag. Therefore, since Gongzi has taken over this Huayuan case, and the two cases are related, Liu Yan can't wait for you to take over. Li Chunfeng seriously told Zhu Mingyang some of Liu Yan's situation.
"I see! No wonder he was so in awe of me! Zhu Mingyang suddenly realized.
Zhu Mingyang hadn't come to this Ganye Temple for a long time, and he couldn't help but chat with Li Chunfeng for a while. Until noon, Zhu Mingyang bought a few jars of good wine from the street and used the fast meal with Li Chunfeng and the workers, regardless of the rules in the temple's pure land. After a while, after three rounds of drinking, everyone's faces were covered with a hint of rosy.
Just as everyone was in the mood for wine, at this time, a servant suddenly walked in from outside the door and looked around, and finally locked his eyes on Zhu Mingyang's body. But when he saw the official walking next to Zhu Mingyang, he put his head in Zhu Mingyang's ear and muttered a few words. Zhu Mingyang stood up with a hint of surprise on his face.
"Brothers, Zhu has something to deal with, that's all for today, and I'll talk about it tomorrow!" Zhu Mingyang made a gesture and turned around and left Ganye Temple, Li Chunfeng watched Zhu Mingyang leave, and shook his head helplessly.
Zhu Mingyang out of the Ganye Temple under the leadership of the official shuttle in the downtown area, I don't know how long he walked, there was a river in front of him, and the embankment on both sides of the river was lined with locust trees. Under the locust tree, a group of officials surrounded a corpse, Xu Yue'er, dressed in red, stood by the river and searched around, while Cuicui squatted on the ground and looked at the corpse.
"This ......," Zhu Mingyang asked the official who led the way as soon as he approached the corpse.
"Lord Zhu, according to your instructions, we searched carefully along the bloodstains of last night, and found that the blood marks disappeared when they reached this embankment, and just as we were about to report to you, a ferryman in the river found a corpse in the river, and we salvaged it." The official who led the way told Zhu Mingyang the ins and outs of the matter.
"Hmmm! Very good, well done! But how did you get them here! Zhu Mingyang pointed to Cuicui and Xu Yue'er next to him.
"My lord, I ......" The official who led the way looked aggrieved and lowered his head.
"Brother Zhu, we came by ourselves!" Before the official finished speaking, Cuicui took over the conversation.
"How can you come to such a place, this corpse is horrible and disgusting, and girls are better at home!" Zhu Mingyang said with concern.
"Brother Zhu, Cuicui has grown up, as long as she is with Brother Zhu, Cuicui is not afraid of anything. Besides, Cuicui has been studying the medical skills taught to me by Sun's predecessors recently, and I want me to solve the case with Brother Zhu, maybe it will help! As for why Sister Xu came, you should know very well! After Cuicui finished speaking, she continued to rummage with the corpse, Zhu Mingyang shook her head, and suddenly this weak woman had grown up a lot.
"Humph!" Xu Yue'er saw that Zhu Mingyang was still arrogant, like an unruly horse, and Zhu Mingyang understood that Xu Yue'er came for hatred.
"What is this river called?" Zhu Mingyang didn't bother Xu Yue'er and Cuicui, but turned his head and asked the official who led the way.
"Go back to your lordship, this is Weihe!" The official replied in a low voice.
"Weihe? Cuicui, what did you find? Zhu Mingyang asked Cuicui on the ground.
"Brother Zhu, come and see!" Cuicui beckoned to Zhu Mingyang, and Zhu Mingyang walked over and squatted down.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Mingyang looked at Cuicui and asked suspiciously.
But seeing Cuicui breaking the head of the corpse and facing Zhu Mingyang, Zhu Mingyang moved his gaze to the corpse. Zhu Mingyang was taken aback by this.
"It's him, I should have thought it was him!" Although the corpse was a little swollen from the blisters, Zhu Mingyang could still tell from the vague outline that this corpse was Jiang Zhutou with Master Du.
"Brother Zhu, this body was killed on the shore, and the fatal wound was a knife wound. Not drowned in the river. You can see that his abdomen is not swollen, which means that there is no water in his stomach, and there are no water substances such as sediment and aquatic plants in his mouth and nose, and the wound of the knife wound is very wide, so there is a lot of bleeding. Cuicui said to Zhu Mingyang gently.
"Sure enough, it was still a knife wound. Knife wound ......" mentioned the knife wound Zhu Mingyang fell into contemplation again, he thought of Xu Yue'er last night when she walked out of the room with a steel knife, and Xu Yue'er was mostly wearing a black night coat when she went out at night, plus the black shadow appeared in Zhu's mansion last night, all the evidence was to Xu Yue'er.
"Xu Yue'er! I ask you, where were you when I went out last night? And where did that steel knife you held last night come from? Zhu Mingyang showed a serious expression and asked two questions in a row.
"What do you mean? Do you suspect me of being a murderer? Xu Yue'er's face showed dissatisfaction.
"Answer my question first, before the murderer appears, everyone is suspected!" Zhu Mingyang's eyes showed a hint of determination, although he didn't want to associate this matter with Xu Yue'er.
"Humph! Why should I tell you. Xu Yue'er sneered and left without looking back. Looking at Xu Yue'er's distant back, Zhu Mingyang looked dazed.
"Brother Zhu, come and see!" At this time, Cuicui on the ground screamed again, as if she had discovered something.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Mingyang leaned his head over, but saw Cuicui tear Jiang Zhutou's clothes, and several scars appeared on Jiang Zhutou's chest.
"It's a scar, but it's a strange scar. You see, although the scar is very long, it is very thin, and it is not like an ordinary knife wound, and what is even more strange is that the wound of this knife wound is actually curved. Cuicui pointed to the scar on Jiang Zhutou's body and said gently. Zhu Mingyang looked at the scar and thought of the same arc-shaped scar on Master Du's body.
"Huh! Look, my lord. Suddenly, a servant not far away exclaimed!
Zhu Mingyang hurriedly ran over. But behold, a horizontal fold was written on the ground with blood. Although the blood stains have dried up, it can still be seen that it is an unfinished Chinese character. "What the hell does this mean!" Zhu Mingyang looked at the Chinese characters on the ground and fell into deep thought......
