When it came to the next day, Yue Su was in a hurry to arrest and escorted Zhou to Maojiawa. When passing through Huangming Town, he first sent someone to Bijiati Liu's family.

When the people in the town saw that the county lord had arrived in person, some well-informed people already knew what was going on, and they all talked about it. Many of the lively ones followed the team, wanting to see what Yue Su was going to do.

When I came to the mouth of Bijia Alley, there were already messengers who had entered the Tiliu clan, and the brigade was waiting in place. After a while, Yue Su saw the Liu family coming out of the room, and at the same time shouted loudly, "Isn't this a disaster falling from the sky!" I don't want this life later, go and fight to the death with him, and go to the Nine Springs to reunite with my old man and son. ”

"You old man, you don't know anything, the master is good, redress your son's grievances, but you say so! You have to work hard, the master is in front, hurry up, don't let him wait. The two officers muttered, urging Liu to leave quickly.

The Liu clan stumbled, and before coming to the team, he happened to see Yue Su in a yuan costume, and he felt very familiar when he saw him. Isn't this the carpenter who came to the house before!

Yue Su smiled faintly at the Liu family, and said kindly: "Old lady, let's meet again, do you still recognize me?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Shi was even more sure that the person in front of him was the carpenter, but now he was wearing a yuan suit, and his temperament was much better than that of Na Yue. Liu also forgot to kneel at this time, and cried loudly: "Then I only thought that you were a carpenter and took you home, but I didn't expect to cause this trouble, you made a lot of trouble, harmed my daughter-in-law, and I don't want any of my family products......"

As he spoke, he raised his head and rushed towards Yue Su. How could the errand officer on the side allow him to rush into the master, and immediately two of them came up and held her down.

When Yue Su saw her like this, although he was angry, he also pitied her confusion. His face remained silent, and he said indifferently: "Old lady, this official said that he came to your town for your son's business. Just because he refused to accept his death and was killed by his daughter-in-law, he knew that the official was a clean official, and Tetuomeng came to sue and begged me to redress his grievances on his behalf. I called you here today, not for anything else, but I hate your daughter-in-law who insisted on not admitting it, but said that the official intended to frame him, and if it was not for the opening of the coffin and the autopsy, this matter could not be distinguished. The deceased is your son, and of course you have to be there. ”

When Liu heard this, he was willing to agree, and cried even more, "My son has been dead for a year, why do you want to look at the bones?" On the night he died, I was still at home, and when he was buried, it was also seen by everyone. The grandfather said to redress my son's grievances, my son has no grievances, why did he take my daughter-in-law away? There is no evidence for this, since you are a parent official, you should visit and understand what the reason is to harm people like this! Today, I will explain to you that if I don't release my daughter-in-law back, I would rather die here. Isn't it iniquity to harm the living and seek for my dead? ”

Liu was just crying, Yue Su knew that she was a useless and honest person, so he didn't want to blame her more, so he suppressed his anger and said: "You woman, you are so confused, no wonder after your son died, he wanted to talk to me in a dream." This county is to redress the grievances of your family, if the coffin is opened and the scars are not detected, even I will have to bear a false name. The ghost of the deceased is not convinced, and you refuse to open the coffin today, will this injustice not be avenged? This official is added as a local parent, and he can't know the reason, he would rather be infamous than get out of the way. This coffin is opened, come on! Take her to Maojiawa together! ”

*****************************************************

As soon as he arrived at Maojiawa, Mao Daxi was already waiting at the boundary monument, and after seeing the ceremony, he led the way and went straight to the tomb.

After walking for a short time, I saw the barren smoke and vines in front of me, and the tombstones in an endless line as far as the eye could see. At this time, it was the middle of the day, the sky was originally clear, and suddenly the light was bleak, and a gust of wind rose on the flat ground, rolling up the sand ash, and there was a zhang high, and a black mass was condensed in it, which only blew towards Yue Su's side.

When the servants and the people who came to see the excitement saw this, they were so frightened that their faces turned like earth, and they retreated one after another. Yue Su, who was sitting in the sedan chair, felt that the sedan chair man stepped back and hurriedly opened the sedan curtain.

It's strange to say, as soon as Yue Su appeared, the black wind actually stopped, and it was invisible for a moment. Yue Su couldn't help but be surprised, and said secretly: "Could it be that there are really unjust souls in this world, I just used this as an excuse, but I didn't expect to really encounter it, and I don't know if it's a coincidence." ”

The black wind dissipated, and the courage of the servants slowly recovered, but they did not dare to move forward immediately. Yue Su ordered to fall, came out of the sedan chair, and strode forward, Tong Xuan followed closely behind, and the others had the courage to follow.

Yue Su didn't know where Bi Hu's grave was, and when he went to the tomb first, he called Mao Daxi to lead the way, and he led the way to Bi Hu's grave.

Seeing that Bi Hu's name is engraved on the tombstone, it is expected to be good. Let Mao Daxi confirm again, confirm that it is correct, and order him to draw a charge. Then he called Liu and Zhou, and said: "This county has always been the master of the people and the people, and has never had the idea of favoritism. Today, it is said that the coffin is opened for an autopsy, and it is a last resort, and I know that this coffin will open the coffin, and the bones will suffer in every way. Zhou, you and he are married, whether it is murder or not, you should also pay homage at this time, and you have fulfilled your affection before death. ”

Seeing Yue Su talking like this, and seeing his son's body turned over and exposed, Liu Shi was sad for a while, and couldn't help crying, grabbing Zhou's arm, "My son, my Bi family is so corrupt!" The death of my son is already a misfortune for the family, and I will create this disaster after I die. ”

On the other hand, Zhou's said loudly: "I don't think you have to cry, usually at home, you can't allow me to be quiet, innocently bring people back, provoke this incident, and it's useless to cry now." I have to open the coffin and uncover the examination, and when he can't detect the injuries, even if he is a local parent, I will have to appeal at the next level. The emperor legislated and asked him to punish and destroy evil spirits, but he didn't let him harm people! Tell me to worship, and I will worship. ”

After that, he pushed his mother-in-law aside, walked to the grave by himself, and bowed twice, not only did he not look sad, but he exuded the silver atmosphere, and scolded Mao Daxi: "You old dog, you talk a lot, please him in front of him at this time, and after the inspection, you can't go." Do it, grandma has worshipped! ”

Mao Daxi was scolded by her, she was really innocent and aggrieved, because she was a bitter family, she didn't dare to argue with her in front of her husband's grave, so she had to turn around.

Although Yue Su said that he wanted to avenge Bi Hu, he couldn't be very sure after all. deliberately let the Zhou family go to worship, just to see if she was really crying or fake sadness. Zhou is the wife of the deceased, and according to common sense, when the coffin is opened, it should be grieved. Who wants to have no sorrow at all, but to show a vicious image? This time, Yue Su had no doubts, and concluded that it must be murder, and immediately ordered the earthworkers to excavate.

After Mao Daxi received the order, he led a group of guys, picked up the guy and shoveled it up, and within half an hour, the coffin had been revealed. At this time, the servants had already set up the reed shed, and the earthenmen brushed off the floating soil on the coffin and carried it to the bottom of the reed shed.

When Liu saw that the coffin was dug up, he cried early and died, and fainted. Yue Su had to ask someone to help her aside, and then ordered the messenger to go over with Ma Lu to open the coffin. Everyone was ordered to step forward, only to lift off the lid of the coffin, take a look inside, and couldn't help but take a few steps backwards together, one by one they were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and shook their lips, and some said in a lost voice: "This is really strange, even if the death is unknown, it will not be more than a year, and the two eyes are still so open." Isn't it too scary to look at the situation! ”

Yue Su heard this, and walked to the coffin in a few steps, and Tong Zhou followed closely with the handle of the knife in his hand. The two of them looked into the coffin, and saw that the corpse's eyes were similar to walnuts, exposed to the outside, and there was no light at all, but it was really shocking to see that dead gray appearance.

When he was a policeman in his previous life, Yue Su had also seen many dead bodies, but none of them were so scary. Tong Xuan couldn't help but be a little afraid, but the adults were on the side, so he could only grit his teeth and stiffen.

Yue Su gasped, took a step back, and said, "Come on, carry the body out and let it be carefully examined." ”

"Yes."

A few officers who had never seen a corpse and were bold agreed, walked forward, looked inside, and were so frightened that they fell backwards, and then knelt on the ground, "My lord, the corpse is not dispersed, I dare not turn it over!" ”

In this year, feudal superstition is still firmly in the hearts of the people, except for those who have rolled on the battlefield, who dares to turn over this kind of corpse that is still dead and still dead thrown out of the soil. For the people at that time, if they were disrespectful to this kind of corpse, they would be possessed by evil spirits.

Seeing that his subordinates didn't dare to step forward when they were killed, Yue Su could only smile helplessly and walked to the coffin again. Looking at the round eyes, he muttered to himself: "Bi Hu, today this official is here to avenge your grievances, if you have a spirit, quickly close your eyes, so that everyone can come closer, no matter what, your case will be tried clearly." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, things turned out to be so coincidental, and the corpse's eyes slowly closed. The boy on the side was dumbfounded, "Adult...... Close...... Closed ......"

Yue Su bowed deeply to the body, and then said, "Someone! Lift the body out! ”

Several errand officers who were kneeling on the ground were surprised when they heard Tong Xuan say that it was closed, and ran over to see that it was really closed, and they were even more amazed. "How...... How did it really close...... It seems that there is really a ...... wrong."

The people standing in the back had heard that the corpse had been dead for a year after its death, but now when they heard what the servants said, they all thought that they had been wronged, otherwise how could it be so effective.

Those few tolerances moved together, carried out Bi Hu's body, walked in front of Yue Su, and said: "My lord, the corpse has been in the ground for a long time, and it will be difficult to open the examination carefully." You must wash it before you can act in accordance with the law, please show it to you. ”

Don't look at Yue Su is not a forensic doctor, but he also knows this truth, but when he came to the Ming Dynasty, he followed the customs of the locals, and knew that his relatives would be in pain when the body was washed. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "This official also knows this truth, but seeing that his clothes are not rotten, his limbs are still complete, and he can still be examined, he will avoid the pain of washing the dead." ”

Yue Su said this, and he couldn't disobey it, and walked to the corpse to start the inquest. I took off my clothes gently, and the skin on my body was rotten, and many rags were stuck to it. Xiang Yue Su was truthful, and Yue Su had no choice but to order Mao Daxi to go to the house near Zuo to borrow an iron pot and boil water on the spot.

When the water boils, the corpse is scrubbed, soju is taken, sprayed on the body, and covered with a reuse cloth.

At this time, there was already a sea of people outside the reed shed, and the women were all huddled together, looking at the maid for inspection. I saw that he started from the head and face, step by step to the lower abdomen, and still did not see him report the scars, and everyone was full of doubts. Then he and the messenger turned the body over, turned its back up, and examined it from top to bottom, but it was still the same as before, and no injuries were reported. Yue Su was also a little anxious now, walked to the side of his body, stared carefully, and checked his legs and feet again, but there was still no scar.

"Adult, the villain has been on an errand for many years, and the law has always been tested on the positive and negative sides, and there is no injury in these two places, so he signed it into the abdomen with silver to see if it was poisonous. The deceased is now unharmed, please show me. ”

Yue Su bowed his head slightly, and was just about to be approved, but the Zhou family not far away rushed over, grabbed the puppet, and reprimanded loudly: "My husband has been dead for a year, and the grandfather is innocent and falsely accused, saying that his death is unknown, and the coffin is opened for examination, and now he is uninjured, and he wants to put silver into his abdomen, isn't it deliberately prevaricating and trying to harm people!" Obviously he died of a violent illness, but the dog official didn't say that someone was murdering, if he was really poisoned and died, and there was poisonous gas in his abdomen, he should have an attack for a year, how could he be that there was no injury and no poison in the whole body, and the whole abdomen was poisonous? He doesn't know the reason, you have been taught, why do you want the dead to suffer for the tiger! After saying that, he was pulling and crying.

"Bastard! Don't pull her away yet! Seeing her making such nonsense, Yue Su immediately shouted. Immediately, an errand officer stepped forward and held Zhou down. Yue Su said again: "This official has a word first, if the deceased is not injured, he would rather bear the false accusation." Historically, the autopsy has been carried out without injury to the outer body and the inner abdomen, this is the law, why do you twist the tolerance, wantonly sprinkle, don't you know the royal law? ”

Zhou raised his head, smiled at Yue Su charmingly, and said: "I don't think the master has to be so serious, although there is no injury at the moment, if the master stops, it will not hurt his face twice." If you have to go against the deceased, and there is still no poison after the examination, I am afraid that the crime you have framed will not be able to cover up. ”

"Humph!" Yue Su snorted coldly and said: "This county can't detect the scars, so he admits to this false accusation, how can he take human life as a child's play, but want to cover it up!" Pull her aside, pretend, and continue to examine! ”

The messenger immediately pulled Zhou out of the reed shed, took the order, scooped a bowl of hot water, poured it into the corpse's mouth, gently rubbed it from his chest, and spit it out from his mouth three or two times, then took out the silver stick, pierced it through the throat, paused for a while, and pulled it out to see.

Seeing that the silver skewer did not turn black, it pierced the abdomen of the corpse again, and the color remained unchanged after being pulled out.

"Your Excellency, my subordinates have completed the inspection and have not found any injuries. The subordinates are still young, and they also ask the adults to order the old man to do another inspection. ”

Yue Su looked carefully on the side, knowing that he was not negligent, but now he was in a hurry, and said helplessly: "This county's move, although Meng Lang is felt, the deceased came to manifest himself. Just now his eyes are closed, which is proof of this. If he hadn't been unjustly killed, how could he have been so effective? Then he rushed to Zhou and said: "At this time, there are no scars, the county should ask for guilt, but the deceased has already suffered, and he can no longer throw his body into the wilderness, abandon it here, and bury it in the coffin first!" ”

How could the Zhou family outside be so resigned, and cried loudly: "I said that I died of illness before, and you, the dog official, have to open an examination, but now there are no scars, and you want to restrain yourself, so do you do it as an official?" I am a widow, how can you do this thing if you said you arrested me innocently yesterday and disregarded human life today? Since the coffin is opened, it can no longer be buried, and we and other people cannot be deceived like this. I can't detect the injury, and I won't stop with you for insulting the officer! ”

After speaking, he actually broke away from the hands of the messenger and rushed towards Yue Su. Liu had already woken up at this time, and when he saw his daughter-in-law like this, he also rushed over to find Yue Su Sapo, and the two were together, crying nonstop. The messenger hurriedly blocked the two, and many people saw that Yue Su was embarrassed and knew that he was a good official, so they all said: "Your woman is too unreasonable, the lord opened the coffin for an autopsy, just to seek justice for Bi Hu." Your husband has already suffered from washing, can he really let him die in the wilderness, I think it is useless for you to mess around like this, it is better to bury your husband first. ”

Many errands rushed to put Bi Hu into the coffin and then buried him. At this moment, a few catchers ran towards this side, and the first person shouted loudly, "My lord, the news has arrived!" After shouting, the crowd split up and rushed in.

Yue Su followed the voice and looked, and when he saw that it was the golden cicada, he hurriedly beckoned him to come over. Jin Chan walked up to Yue Su and said, "My lord, I just got the news of Tie Qiu, and I said ......"

Unable to finish his words, Yue Su coughed and said, "This is not the place to talk, wait until you return to the Ya." ”

Seeing that Bi Hu's body had been buried, Yue Su ordered the withdrawal of the yamen, and then glanced at the Zhou family and the Liu family, and made a little calculation in his heart, and still asked the messenger to escort the Zhou family back to the county office.

******************************************************

The people returned to the county seat, and on the way, Jin Chan relayed the news of Tieqiu's return to Yue Su.

It turned out that Tieqiu took an errand officer to visit all the way in disguise, and when he stayed in the hotel a few days ago, he got a message from several passing merchants. One of the merchants selling goods from the north said that he had met a young man in his twenties on the official road in the west, pushing a small cart with two huge packages on it. Because the merchant was talking to his companion, he didn't pay attention to it, and the car of the two happened to collide, and the young man's car was small, and the axle of the car was broken, and the package fell to the ground. At that time, I thought that the youth would be angry, either beating or scolding, but I didn't know that I just put away the package without saying a word, and hurriedly loaded the axles. He didn't say anything, put it in his bag, got into the car and pumped it, and rushed forward in a hurry.

Tie Qiu knew that the deceased was a merchant who was peddling smuggling, and it was always right to chase him down the road, so after dinner, he hurried after the errand and the servants. Coincidentally, in less than two days, I bumped into it on the road. The young man was in a hurry with a cart and accidentally crashed into the rice field, which caused more than a dozen bankers. Those men were determined to compensate the young man, and threatened to ask for a package of goods, but the young man was willing to give it, and he started to do it twice. Unexpectedly, the young man was so powerful that he knocked over more than a dozen croppers with three punches and two kicks. Tie Qiu looked carefully, worried that he would not be defeated, but he startled the snake, and immediately asked the messenger to come back to report the news, and he followed along the way, leaving marks along the way, and the golden cicada would definitely be able to recognize it.

Now that the Shilitun case has eyebrows, Yue Su is happy in his heart, and plans to start with Jin Chan tomorrow morning and go to chase the murderer. It is expected that with the three of them joining forces, even if the murderer is skilled, he will be arrested.

The sedan chair came to the gate of the county office, and before Yue Su came down, he suddenly heard a woman crying loudly. "Wronged! My lord! ”
