In the middle of the night, Lu Jinping had not slept peacefully, he was waiting for news from Yunzi and them.

The servants who had gone to look for Yunzi finally came back to report that they had found Miss Yunzi and the others, and informed them that they had returned. Yunzi said that it was too late, so he didn't come to the house to disturb him, and he would come to visit another day.

Lu Jinping didn't sleep and waited for her, thinking that she would come to find her, but he didn't expect that he didn't come, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. But thinking that other girls can be anxious for themselves, and have been looking for themselves for a whole day and a night, this friendship is enough to explain everything, so why care if you don't come to see yourself now?

The next morning, the hunter who had gone to look for the body according to Lu Jinping's instructions came back and told him that there was only one man's body in the woods, no woman's body, but there were some cut ropes under the trees. The catcher had already hired a wagon to bring the body back.

Lu Jinping immediately checked, and sure enough, it was the body of Wang Bagui. In this way, Lu Niang has successfully left, but I don't know if I can return to the top of the mountain alive to find the antidote, maybe die on the road, maybe be saved, who knows.

Although this Lu Niang and he have only known each other for a day and a half, the experience of the two of them showing his mouth to him under the water makes Lu Jinping always can't help but think of it in his spare time. Every now and then, I feel the fragrance of my lips and teeth.

The first thing Lu Jinping did when he went to the government was to notify him to immediately acquit Boss Gao.

Xiong Zhutou and the others were very surprised, and asked Lu Jinping with a smile: "Boss Gao is released, what should I do if this case is turned over in the clouds?" ”

Lu Jinping said: "The cloud flip was not killed by Boss Gao, I knew this at the time, but I just set a trap to let him say something I want to know." In fact, I have already determined by the river that the body turned in the clouds does not have the usual signs of drowning death, and there is all kinds of evidence that he died before entering the water. Of course, in order to prove this, the cause of death should be accurately ascertained. I brought the body back for an autopsy and found that the deceased had actually died of a myocardial infarction. That is, sudden death from disease. Therefore, the cloud flip was not murdered by Boss Gao. ”

Xiong Zhutou and the others nodded again and again, but Xiong Zhutou still had a pimple in his heart, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sir, but there is an obvious blunt force blow injury to the back of the head in that cloud." What you said at the time was a fatal wound, which means that he was murdered. ”

Lu Jinping smiled: "If I don't say that, how can I force Boss Gao to say what I want to know?" -- Actually, there was no obvious reaction to life around the wound of that wound, which proves that the wound was formed after death. Didn't you notice? Isn't the edge of the stone steps of the pier just right to form the kind of trauma that turns the back of the head in the clouds? So I deduced that the wound was just when the person who found the body pulled it up from the water. The back of the corpse's head was just formed by hitting the steps of the dock. ”

………………

――――――――――――――――――

Time flies, the last time Lu Jinping encountered a mysterious person who sent Wang Bagui and his wife to arrest Lu Jinping, after being countered by his generals, a few months have passed, and he is safe and sound, and he has not encountered any danger. And they also had a murder case in the same state, and there was not even a major criminal case, and Lu Jinping also ended up at large.

The days go by quickly. Spring passed quickly, and summer began.

It's just summer. The temperature has risen a lot, and the whole world has entered a steamer, and I dare not walk on the stone slab with my bare feet, but I squatted down a little and looked sideways at the horizon, and I could see the terrifying heat evaporating from the ground.

In order to hide from the sun. Many people took refuge in the shade of trees. In ancient times, there was no air-conditioning fan, only a big pu fan, of course, it was impossible for an official like Lu Jinping to shake the big pu fan. He was holding a folding fan. This is to watch ancient film and television dramas, see officials often use. It's very elegant, and it's easy to hold, so I bought one myself.

It's just that the quality of the folding fan is not very good, and it won't take long for it to break, and it has to be replaced with a new one.

On this afternoon, the red sun was scorching, Lu Jinping sat under the big banyan tree in the back garden, listening to the chirping and singing of the birds in the bird's nest on the tree.

He lay on a bamboo chair, looking at a pond of lotus flowers, under the scorching sun looks a little sluggish, although the rhizome of the lotus is inserted into the cool pool water, but this hot summer day does not even have a trace of wind, the leaves above the head are also still, the lotus leaves against the scorching sun naturally drooping their heads.

Next to Lu Jinping's recliner is a coffee table, on which are some melons and fruits.

Ye Qingqing was holding a big pu fan, and Lu Jinping was snorting and snorting the fan. Although Lu Jinping has an elegant folding fan in his hand, it can't take care of the whole body, or the wind power of Ye Qingqing's big pu fan is refreshing. Unfortunately, even the wind from the big fan is blazing.

Lu Jinping didn't care about his image for a long time, so he didn't wear an official robe, and he also designed a pair of flat-legged pants by himself, and asked Ye Qingqing to find a tailor to sew and wear on his body. This kind of pants belonged to fancy clothes in the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty did not have such a style of pants, and it was not elegant, even if the croppers worked in the field, they were not very particular. He was also wearing a pair of trousers on a hot day, but Lu Jinping made this strange style of pants, which made Ye Qingqing laugh at him for several days. But he didn't care, so he put on a bamboo chair in the back garden to enjoy the coolness.

Lu Jinping also designed a miniskirt for Ye Qingqing, but unfortunately, Ye Qingqing refused to wear it.

Lu Jinping wanted to turn the pond into a swimming pool, but he felt that he had wasted the lotus flowers in this pool, so he gave up after thinking about it for a long time.

Of course, Ye Qingqing has a way to let him enjoy the coolness, there is a big wooden barrel in his bedroom, Ye Qingqing asked the old mother and servant to lift the cold well water from the well water three times a day, pour it into the big wooden barrel, and then Lu Jinping stripped naked and took a cold bath in it, which is equivalent to swimming in the swimming pool. It still seems to be very pleasant.

With Ye Qingqing by his side, Lu Jinping was in a good mood, he didn't want to read, he just wanted to enjoy this moment of tranquility. Although there is nothing big in these days, there are always things that keep him busy with things that keep his feet on the ground, and he finally has a quiet moment, so why bother to work hard.

When he saw the porter hurrying in, he knew that his leisure time was only temporarily expired. ――Why is it that every time you enjoy your own life, trouble comes one after another?

The porter ran over and said to Lu Jinping with a smile: "Sir, the yamen sent the master to come over and say that there was a murder in Xiniu Village outside the city. ”

Lu Jinping sighed, stood up, and said to Ye Qingqing: "Get ready, let's go." ”

Lu Jinping is in a hurry to rush out to run errands when he is idle at home, Ye Qingqing is already commonplace, so he is not in a hurry, and he methodically waits for Lu Jinping to change his official robe with his personal maid Su Sanmei, and then carries his forensic investigation box on his back. The coachman had already prepared the carriage, Lu Jinping immediately got into the car, Ye Qingqing followed, and drove to the yamen.

After arriving at the Yamen, the bear catcher of the Yamen had already led the horse with the catcher and was waiting for him at the Yamen.

After Lu Jinping got out of the car, Xiong Zhutou hurriedly stepped forward and briefly said what had happened: "Sir, the village leader of Xiniu Village sent someone to report that a widow in their village died in the latrine, naked underneath, and must have been raped and killed, so I came to report to the official." ”

Lu Jinping nodded slowly, and ordered to be dispatched immediately, until the body was found, he would not express any tendentious opinions, so as not to mislead his subordinates.

A group of people rode on horseback in a carriage and went out of the city to Xiniu Village. Fortunately, the village was not far from the city of Tongzhou, and they arrived in the evening.

Muramasa took them straight to the scene of the murder.

The scene where the body was found was in a large vegetable field and a latrine at the entrance of the village, and the body had been lifted out and placed on the grass next to it. He used a worn-out mattress under him, and another mattress covered his entire body, exposing only one pair of feet, and wearing a pair of embroidered shoes.

The whole village came to see the excitement, surrounded by three floors inside and three layers outside. Until Lu Jinping arrived with a team of arresters, those villagers were reluctant to leave, Lu Jinping frowned, and had to order Xiong Zhutou to drive away all the people who were watching the excitement, so as not to affect the investigation.

Finally pushed away the onlookers around the scene, revealing a large open space, Lu Jinping, accompanied by Ye Qingqing, walked in with a square step and shaking a folding fan.

Lu Jinping has been an official for almost half a year, and he now knows that being an official in ancient times is completely different from being an official in modern times, and now officials in society pay attention to going deep into the masses and being willing to be a son of a cow, and few dare to be high-profile, but in ancient times, this is pomp and circumstance, it is the requirement of officialdom, you must do this, otherwise you will not be an official.

So although Lu Jinping was in a hurry to rush to the scene to check, these pomp and circumstance had to be done, so when he paced to the corpse, he put away the folding fan and handed it to Ye Qingqing next to him.

The corpse was wrapped in a straw mat, and next to it was an old man and an old woman, whimpering and crying. Mura Zheng followed Lu Jinping and introduced: "Sir, they are the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the widow of the deceased, the widow's man died in an accident a few years ago and left no children. I didn't expect to die here today. ”

Lu Jinping asked, "Who found the body first?" ”

The village was busy saying, "It was her parents-in-law who found out." Speaking of this, the village was busy greeting the old couple who were sitting next to the corpse and crying, saying: "The lord of the Tongzhou Mansion has come to investigate the case, hurry up, don't cry, the lord has something to ask you." ”

Only then did the old man and the old woman stop crying, and raised their teary eyes to look at Lu Jinping. (To be continued......)
