Chapter 263: The Nunnery's Murder
A few days later, he received an official letter from the imperial court officials, correcting Yang Qiuchi's mistakes in time, avoiding unjust killing, and successfully resolving the conflict between Han and Miao. At the same time, he continued to serve as the magistrate of Qingxi County.
Yang Qiuchi understands that if he has made meritorious contributions, he will definitely be rewarded, and he has been promoted to one level, which is not bad. Continuing to serve as the magistrate of Qingxi County, it should be Ming Chengzu who suspected that this Jianwen was still hidden in this primeval forest, so that he could continue to investigate.
On this day, Yang Qiuchi returned to the inner office after being promoted to the hall, and Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei were waiting for him in the living room, and Mrs. Bai proposed to Yang Qiuchi to take Bai Sumei to live in the garden building that Yang Qiuchi sent them to live in Wuchang Mansion.
Yang Qiuchi immediately understood what they meant, Bai Sumei lived in Yang Qiuchi's house before she passed the door, and after a long time, people would gossip. She is now keeping filial piety to her father, which is not a good gossip.
Although Yang Qiuchi was reluctant to let Bai Sumei go, he also understood their thoughts, and called Qin Zhihui and Song Qingyi to sum up, and also felt that Mrs. Bai's thoughts really couldn't be ignored. Everyone felt reasonable, so Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to agree, but fortunately, there were Yang Mu and Feng Xiaoxue in Wuchang Mansion, and they took care of each other.
Since he wanted to send Mrs. Bai and them to Wuchang, Yang Qiuchi decided to send Qin Zhihui as well, this Qingxi County is too barren, what do you want, if you are by the side of Mother Yang in Wuchang Mansion, Qin Zhihui will be well taken care of, and it will also make Mother Yang happy.
As soon as Yang Qiuchi put forward this idea, everyone thought it was good, although Qin Zhihui was reluctant to leave Yang Qiuchi, she also knew that the child in her womb had to temporarily separate from her husband for the sake of the child. Yuechan is Qin Zhihui's personal little maid, of course, she has to go back with her.
After the decision was made, Yang Qiuchi asked Xia Ping to leave five female guards to protect Song Qing, and Xia Ping took the rest to escort Mrs. Bai, Bai Sumei and Qin Zhihui to Wuchang, however, Yang Qiuchi was still not at ease, and assigned Nangong Xiong to escort them with twenty male guards, and personally wrote a letter to Luo Qianhu, asking him to send additional Jinyi guards to protect the garden building where Mrs. Bai and Bai Sumei lived.
Qin Zhihui and Bai Sumei were worried that so many guards were gone, and Yang Qiuchi would be in danger, Yang Qiuchi said that with Song Yun'er's master Liu Ruobing here, he would not be in danger, so the two of them were relieved.
Reluctantly sent them away, this inner office was a lot quieter all of a sudden, Yang Qiuchi was a little unaccustomed to it, so he asked Ke'er and the seven Yang song and dance troupes to play music, sing and dance, and Shuang'er Xue'er and the two siblings danced the Miao dance, which became lively again.
Now there are only Song Qing and Hong Aya who serve in bed, mainly Song Qing, and Hong Aya is only served by Hong Aya during the menstrual period, after all, Hong Aya is just a big girl in the room, and she can't work shifts.
In recent years, there have been several cases of murder and corpse fragmentation, and the heads have been cut off, limbs have been suspended, hands and feet have been broken, and ** have been stripped up, but a long time has passed, the scene has long been destroyed, the corpses have also been buried, and valuable items such as bloody clothes have also been burned.
The files of similar cases have been copied back, and after reading them, Yang Qiuchi has one thing in common: the deceased are all adult women in their twenties and thirties, rich and poor, all of them are married, there are no traces of struggle at the scene, and the joints are twisted and dislocated.
However, the corpse grid is written too simply and vaguely, and there is not much useful information.
Judging from the materials transcribed from these transcriptions, it is at least proved that Yang Qiuchi's judgment is correct, this murderer should have an antisocial personality, it is a series of serial murders, and he will continue to kill in the future.
Yang Qiuchi told Master Jin of his judgment, and asked him to draft an official document and report it to Huguang to be punished, and asked that these cases be combined and investigated, and he would be responsible for it. And pay attention to the occurrence of similar cases in the province at any time, and once it happens, immediately notify yourself to go to the investigation, in order to find clues as soon as possible.
After the official document was reported, it was quickly approved, and the criminal envoy has notified the whole province that these cases of broken corpses will be combined and handed over to Yang Qiuchi, the magistrate of Qingxi County, to solve them, and if similar cases are found again, they will immediately report directly to Yang Qiuchi and protect the scene.
More than a month has passed, but there is no news, Yun Tianqing, the owner of Miao Village, often comes to Yang Qiuchi's yamen to find Yang Qiuchi to drink, he has already sent someone to search the primeval forest within a radius of hundreds of miles, however, this primeval forest is too large, just hide it anywhere, it is not easy to find it at all, besides, Jianwen has been missing for so many years, hidden for a long time, where can he find it with a search.
Song Qing and Hong Aya have never conceived a child, both of them are very depressed, Yang Qiuchi is even more depressed, fortunately, they are both still young, they are only sixteen years old, take your time.
Song Yun'er had arrived at Ningguo Mansion safely, wrote a letter and handed it back to Yang Qiuchi by the female guard, saying that her mother was very ill and that she would accompany her mother for a while and could not come back for the time being.
After Song Yun'er left, Liu Ruobing always kept a distance from Yang Qiuchi, nothing would appear in front of Yang Qiuchi at all, and she would not let Yang Qiuchi enter her room, Yang Qiuchi wanted to use this opportunity to increase the relationship between the two, but she didn't expect this result, and she was even more depressed.
Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping led the escort team to protect Madame Bai, Bai Sumei, Qin Zhihui and the little maid Yuechan, and after arriving at Wuchang Mansion safely, they had already returned, bringing back a letter from Feng Xiaoxue, reporting that Madame Bai and Bai Sumei had lived in a small garden building. Luo Qianhu sent a team of female brocade guards to protect them.
Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue were overjoyed when they knew that Qin Zhihui was pregnant with a child, and taking care of Qin Zhihui was like taking care of a national treasure giant panda. Mother Yang and Feng Xiaoxue already knew about marrying Bai Sumei, the two families often walked around, took care of each other, and the business was in charge of the shopkeepers from all over the country, and the accounts were very clear, so Yang Qiuchi was relieved.
The day has entered June, Qingxi County is in a ravine, the weather is humid and sultry, this is the first summer of Yang Qiuchi to cross to the Ming Dynasty, there is no air conditioning fan, I really don't know how to spend the summer.
At noon that day, it was so hot that Hong Aya put a recliner made of bamboo under a big locust tree in the inner government for Yang Qiuchi, and Yang Qiuchi only wore a big coat and trouser fork (Yang Qiuchi taught Hong Aya to make it), and lay on the recliner to enjoy the coolness. Red Aya fanned him behind him, which was very pleasant.
At this time, I heard the drums in the lobby of the yamen, which was a complaint. Today is not a notice, but urgent cases such as murders are not subject to the restriction of announcements, and they can be told to the county lord to accept them at any time.
Yang Qiuchi was shocked, could it be that there was a murder?
After a while, the porter Zhang's mother hurriedly ran in to report that a nun from a nunnery on a nearby hill had come to report that a murder had occurred in the nunnery.
Yang Qiuchi smiled bitterly, why did even the nunnery have a murder case, what kind of world is this. When I heard Zhang's mother say that the ** of the murdered nun was cut off, I was taken aback, could it be that the serial killer who killed people and broke the corpse finally did it again?
Although it was very stuffy, you still had to wear an official robe when you went out of the scene.
Under the service of Hong Aya, Yang Qiuchi put on an official robe, took a forensic physical evidence investigation box, and set off in an official sedan chair with his attendants, masters, and yamen officials, surrounded by the escort team and the fast arresting officer.
Liu Ruobing was dressed in white and rode his jujube red horse to follow Yang Qiuchi's official sedan chair. Liu Ruobing rarely talks to Yang Qiuchi, nor does he meet Yang Qiuchi, now the opportunity is rare, Yang Qiuchi provokes the sedan curtain to chat with Liu Ruobing, but it is often Yang Qiuchi who says ten words, and Liu Ruobing rarely says a word, and the tone is light. Yang Qiuchi was very uncomfortable, so he had to shut up.
This nunnery is on a hill in Qingxi County, this mountain is called Yizhi Peak, and the nunnery is close to the peak. Coming to the bottom of the mountain, Yang Qiuchi raised his eyes and looked, no wonder this mountain peak is called Yizhi Peak, it is really like a finger pointing straight to the sky, and the mountain is very steep.
It is impossible to ride a horse and sit in a sedan chair, so you can only walk up the mountain.
It took two hours to climb from the foot of the mountain to the nunnery at the top of the mountain, and Yang Qiuchi was so tired that he was sweating profusely and panting.
Even Nangong Xiong and other guards were panting like cows and sweating like rain, but Liu Ruobing's face did not change and his heart did not beat, and he didn't have anything to do.
The abbot of this nunnery is named Jingci, in his sixties, a little fat, kind and kind, I heard that the county lord was investigating the case, and hurriedly greeted him. But Yang Qiuchi didn't have time to pay attention to her, and sat on the stone steps in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of the nunnery, panting as if pulling the bellows.
Seeing Yang Qiuchi's appearance, Liu Ruobing smiled faintly: "You really should practice some martial arts, if nothing else, it will be convenient to go out to handle cases in the future." ”
Yang Qiuchi gasped and said: "Yes, senior, I said last time that you would teach me martial arts, but after Yun'er left, you ignored me, and I didn't teach you if I wanted to." ”
Liu Ruobing's silver bell-like voice said lightly: "Wait for Yun'er to come back, let her teach you." ”
Yang Qiuchi took a few breaths, shook his head and said, "I don't do it, Yun'er is your apprentice, if she teaches me again, then I won't be your apprentice?" I don't do it! ”
"What a disciple! I just asked her to show you some ways to strengthen your body, and I didn't accept you as an apprentice, if you want to accept an apprentice, she is not qualified enough. ”
Yang Qiuchi tricked: "I don't want her to teach, I want you to teach, senior, you teach me personally, I must learn well." He smiled and blinked, "If you personally instruct me in martial arts, I will study hard, and in the future, maybe the blue is better than the blue!" ”
"My martial arts are not suitable for men to learn, and I have to practice hard since I was a child, you are only practicing now, and there is no hope that you can become an atmosphere."
