Chapter 4 Servants
Middle-earth is vast, and the four great powers of the world stand proudly. Dayan is located in the east, the territory of the Han people, and is prosperous; Yanbei is Rong Di, controlling the grassland, chasing water and grass nomadism, and the folk customs are fierce and fierce; Yanxi is a heavy plateau, with a large country of Tibet, and the people believe in Tantric Buddha; In addition, there is the powerful Uighurs, which are located west of Rongdi and north of Tibet, and do not border Dayan.
In contrast, Nanli is far behind, a small country with a big palm, everyone in the country, the old and the young, women and children are all added together, and there may not be more soldiers than Yan State.
Moreover, Nanli is located in the southwest of Middle Earth, with many mountains and barrens, countless mountains, forests and swamps, although it is also the Han Dynasty, but under the rule of Han, Bai, Miao, Yao, Zhuang and other ethnic groups coexist, there are often disputes. There are still a large number of barbarians and shengfan in the deep mountains and dense forests, all of whom are not under the control of the imperial court, and they do not even recognize the 'country' of Nanli, which is really chaotic. Fortunately, in recent years, Emperor Nanli has governed appropriately and vigorously pacified other ethnic groups, which has gradually achieved results, and the country has been much more stable in recent years......
Nanli Town, Yanziping.
At dawn, the drizzle, the shimmer of light could not penetrate the rain clouds, and the gloomy sky was not depressing, but took advantage of the tranquility of Yanziping.
It was still early, most of the residents were still asleep, and the bluestone paved road lay quietly in the town, enjoying the drizzle alone. Suddenly, two people hurried side by side, running briskly along the long street. Carrying a horizontal knife on his waist, black boots, black robes and black hats, and obliquely inserting peacock feathers on his hat, all dressed up to catch fast, one of them is over forty years old, and his body is blessed; The other skin was so dark that he could barely see his appearance, but judging from his thin figure, he should still be a teenager.
The two errand officials ran straight to a courtyard at the end of the street before stopping, and the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said, "This is it." ”
Xiao Catch immediately grabbed a few steps, ignoring the dreams of others, and banged on the door with all his might! Immediately, I heard only a 'coaxing' sound - the courtyard door was not opened, but the yard was completely 'fried' nests, and at least 30 dogs, 20 ducks, and 15 chickens crowed at the same time, mixed with the crackling of chickens and ducks flapping their wings, and the sound of cats and dogs jumping against the clay pots...... The young man was so startled that he was about to draw a knife, his boss was already surprised, shook his head and smiled: "You newcomer don't know, in You Yan's writers, cats, dogs, chickens and ducks, he has raised more than 100 animals, his surname is weird, and you will pay attention to what you say." ”
Xiao Yu quickly narrowed his eyes: "Raising so many domestic animals, aren't you afraid of disturbing the township?" ”
At this time, a voice sounded in the courtyard, with a smile in his tone, and responded: "When it comes to nuisance in the township, how can cats and dogs compare to poor officials with knives." At the same time, the door shaft squeaked, and the courtyard door opened, revealing a young man in a green shirt, fourteen or fifteen years old, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes.
The young man who opened the door looked at Xiao Yu Kuai twice, and continued: "I haven't seen you before, new here?" ”
Xiao Zhu didn't take off the child's surname, and was teased by the other party before, but at the moment he pouted and ignored him, pretending not to hear.
The middle-aged man coughed and looked at the young man in green shirts: "Yang Yanzi, what about your uncle, there is a difference, hurry up and let him get up and go with us." ”
Yang Lingzi is Song Yang...... Imperial Physician You found the 'right-hearted person', simply left the border of Dayan, took Song Yang into Nanli, and finally settled here, living in a semi-secluded life.
Yanziping is far away from Yan Kingdom, and Taiyi You did not change his name and surname, but he did not show his medical skills again. Soon after settling down, he went to the yamen to get a job as a servant, anyway, he was a doctor, he used to say that he was diagnosing the living, and now he occasionally helps the deceased to perform autopsies, and he does it with ease.
The two are commensurate with their uncles and nephews, and Taiyi You never even thought of giving Song Yang a name, usually calling him 'Xiaobao', and calling him out of goosebumps every time, or Song Yang walked up to his 'uncle' when he was five years old, and 'self-recommended': "I think the name 'Song Yang' is good." Imperial Physician You was taking care of a few self-grown medicinal herbs in the small flower cellar in the backyard at the time, and nodded absentmindedly: "Cheng, then your name will be Song Yang from now on, Xiaobao, bring me the flower hoe." ”
In a flickering fifteen years, Dr. You, who had a stinky face thrown all over the civil and military affairs of the Great Yan Kingdom and the Manchu Dynasty, became a coroner in a remote town; And Song Yang has also grown from a baby in swaddling clothes to a teenager.
Song Yang closed the courtyard door, stuck an inconspicuous blade of grass in the lock while he was on his back, and then said to the middle-aged catcher: "I'll go with you." "In the past, Dr. You Taiyi would bring Song Yang with him when he went out for an autopsy, and the latter seemed to be very talented in this line of work, and he studied quickly, but in the last two years, there is no need for 'uncle' to go out of the idle case, and it is enough for Song Yang to go to the inquest alone. And the town is peaceful, there has never been a 'non-idle' case in decades, all the surnames are born and old, sick and dead, and died normally, and the work is just to go out to the scene to verify, which is very easy.
As he spoke, Song Yang made a 'please lead the way' gesture to the two catchers.
Unexpectedly, this time, the middle-aged catcher frowned: "Yang Yanzi, let's call your uncle, this case is not ordinary, and many people have died." ”
Song Yang was slightly stunned: "It's the neighborhood that died?" Seeing that he shook his head and denied it, Song Yang's expression was relieved, and then he continued: "It's not that my uncle is reluctant to get up, it's that he is not at home." I went out two days ago and haven't come back yet. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Zhu quickly said: "He is also an errand official, how can he leave the jurisdiction without reporting to the yamen!" As he spoke, he shook the horizontal knife on his waist, and he wanted to immediately arrest the dereliction of duty You Chengzuo.
Song Yang immediately nodded vigorously, with a serious expression: "Yes, yes, you are right, I will talk about him when he comes back." After speaking, he turned his head to look at the middle-aged catcher: "Pantouer, let's go." ”
The middle-aged officer is the head of the third class of Yanziping, surnamed Pan. Panzi is not a Han surname, but a Yao surname, no need to ask, Pantouer is also a Yao person.
Yanziping is located in the west of Nanli, mainly Han and Yao, but the Yao people here are all 'Pingdi Yao', with a mild surname, and the Han people have lived together for more than ten generations, and they have long been integrated and lived in harmony.
Uncle is not at home, no matter how anxious he is, it is useless, he can only ask his nephew to come out, Pantou no longer talks nonsense, and takes Song Yang to rush to the scene of the crime, Xiao Yu quickly followed behind Song Yang, hurried for a while and asked him curiously: "Why don't you ask, what is the case?" ”
Song Yang replied truthfully: "You'll know later, why bother asking." What's more, if you ask now, it is inevitable that you will have preconceived ideas and will affect your judgment. ”
Xiao Yu didn't expect him to have his own reasoning, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "It seems to be the same thing, don't be in a hurry later!" ”
Song Yang didn't bother to pay attention to him and didn't respond. Xiao Catch is fast but unrelenting, and he keeps teaching a lesson in an old-fashioned manner: "This case is serious, I can't help you mess around, when you get to the place, you can be smarter, you can test it, and if you can't check it, you can flash it aside, don't ruin the evidence, don't help but add to the chaos!" If you don't succeed and say it directly, I will ask the adults to ask the state government for help and send capable people down, but I am afraid that I will delay the time by coming and going, so I will let you go and see it first......"
Song Yang was annoyed by him, stared at the other party sideways, and then seemed to have found something, with a little surprise in his eyes: "Your face ......"
Xiao Yu was taken aback: "What's wrong with my face?" ”
"Washed away by the rain for a while, your face doesn't seem to be as dark as it was just now." Song Yang spread his hands, and his voice was obviously lowered, as if muttering to himself, but he could be heard clearly by Xiao Zhukuai: "Will the face also fade?" First time seeing. Don't dye it anymore, right? What's it called... Disguised? ”
Xiao Zhukuai's expression changed, he was a little weak and a little annoyed, but he finally closed his mouth, snorted, and stopped paying attention to Song Yang.
------------------
Take a long breath, in this chapter, the story belonging to Song Yang has just begun, and the first three chapters can only be regarded as wedges strictly speaking...... I wrote three chapters and almost 10,000 words for an introduction, and the beans are also wonderful. But seriously, as far as I'm concerned, I still like the first three chapters very much, and I really spent a lot of effort to write it, and I'm very satisfied with myself, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it out to see you~
