This night, Duan Fei didn't sleep very peacefully because he had something on his mind, but he still got up early in the morning, and according to the method Su Rong taught him, he adjusted his pranayama and luck, and just when he felt some changes faintly, Shi Bin's voice came from outside the small courtyard: "Brother Fei, my lord, get up quickly, there is a murder in Shanggao County!" Peng Xing, the judge of Ruizhou Prefecture, and the county magistrate and county Cheng of Shanggao County came together, please Brother Fei, you will handle the case! ”

Duan Fei reaped his strength and said in his heart: "How can it be so coincidental, could it be that I have also become the legendary plague god detective?" Everywhere you go, people die? ”

Hurriedly changed his clothes and came out, Su Rong had already prepared a basin of water and put it on the shelf in front of his door, Duan Fei washed his face, and Su Rong appeared beside him with the appearance of a handsome little boy, the two of them were like shadows, it was difficult to make people not misunderstand.

Duan Fei opened the door and walked out, and saw that a cadre of officials and a thousand commanders Niu Caiyi were waiting for him in front of the door, as well as Chi Chengchang and Chai Junfu, but the other two guards were still missing.

A group of officials led by Peng Xing, the judge of Ruizhou Prefecture, saluted Duan Fei for a while, Duan Fei hurriedly returned the salute, and then asked, "There is a murder?" What is the general situation? ”

Shanggao County Commander explained: "The corpse was found by fishermen who got up early in the morning to collect their nets, and they set up nets in the Shu River at night to catch fish, and collected the nets in the early morning, thinking that the corpse floated down the river last night and was caught by the fishing nets." ”

"Oh, this case is a bit troublesome......" Duan Fei's gaze looked at Niu Qianzong.

Niu Caiyi said with a smile: "It's okay, Lord Wang has instructed, the slower Lord Duan goes, the better, since there is a murder case in Shanggao County, Lord Duan might as well stay here to help solve the case, even if it is delayed for ten days and half a month." ”

Since this was the case, Duan Fei had no choice but to order Shanggao County: "Take me to the scene to have a look." ”

The group walked out, Duan Fei was a little worried in his heart, the identity of the deceased in this type of case is generally difficult to confirm, it is difficult to find the scene of the crime, and there is no way to find a breakthrough from the interpersonal relationship of the deceased, if the case is not good, it will become a death case, fortunately, the body will be picked up when it floats to Shanggao County, if it drifts to Nanchang, drifts to Poyang Lake, there are so many tributaries, it is impossible to think about it at all.

As soon as everyone left the county office, they heard someone shouting on the side of the street: "Brother Fei, Brother Fei, Lord Duan!" ”

Duan Fei was about to get on the horse, and when he heard the prestige, apart from Shi Bin and Guo Wei, who else in Shanggao County would call him Brother Fei? At a glance, he saw a baby face, and then he found two more acquaintances, Duan Fei couldn't help but wave to them, "Yang Sen!" How did you guys get here? Let them come! ”

The officials got out of the way, Yang Sen and the other two came to Duan Fei excitedly, Duan Fei and Yang Sen hadn't seen each other for almost a month, and the other two hadn't seen each other for two or three months, each gave them a hug, and then grabbed Yang Sen's shoulder and smiled: "Your kid has grown a lot taller, what about your grandfather?" Jiang Jun and Hong Bang, did you come here specifically after receiving my news? It's great, is there anyone else? ”

Yang Sen hurriedly said: "There is no one else, grandpa said that Brother Fei, you have prosperous official luck, and you will have great ambitions in the future, he is old and doesn't want to run around anymore, so he sent me here, saying that he wanted me to follow Brother Fei to exercise, in fact, I think Brother Fei must need me very much, no, I heard about the murder early in the morning, hehe, it's time for me to show my skills." ”

Hong Bang and Jiang Jun are both young catchers that Duan Fei met in the battle of Hai'an Town, Rugao County, before Duan Fei came to Jiangxi, he asked Shi Yufeng to send invitations to several catchers he met at that time, and after a month, two people finally came.

"No matter how big my official is, I am the same Ah Fei as before, and this will not change." Seeing that Hong Bang and Jiang Jun were a little restrained, Duan Fei couldn't help but encourage them, Guo Wei and Shi Bin also greeted them, the sense of restraint between the two was obviously weakened a lot, Duan Fei smiled and said: "Let's brothers go back and talk slowly, are you tired?" If you're not tired, come with me to the murder scene to see? ”

Yang Sen and the three of them all came by boat, although they were dusty, they were not very tired, and they refused to let go of the opportunity to perform, so Duan Fei got on the horse, glanced at Yang Sen and them apologetically, and turned the horse to leave first.

Su Rong patted the horse and followed, and suggested: "My lord, I think it's better to let them all resign from their status as yacha and follow the adults to be long-term, otherwise they will not be able to take special care of them because of their identity, and if the adults are promoted or transferred to other places in the future, it will be a trouble for them to follow." ”

"Long-term?" Duan Fei seemed to have heard of this name, but he didn't know much about its meaning, so Su Rong explained it to him, and Duan Fei suddenly realized that the so-called long follower was a servant who came to be an official with the master, and it was the master's "own family". Their relationship with the lord is not that of superiority and superiority, but of master and servant. Although they are not appointed by the state, they can participate in public affairs by virtue of their personal relationship with the master, and this chief is actually the same as the master, belonging to the supernumerary civil servants, the personal assistants of the chief.

"Oh, I see, you plan to make them people like Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, and Wang Dynasty Mahan, not bad, this suggestion is good." Duan Fei was overjoyed.

"Dynasty Mahan? What kind of character is that? Su Rong was puzzled.

"Uh......" Duan Fei was speechless, and said in his heart: "Could it be that there is no dynasty in the story of Bao Gong at this time, and there are no four of them?" ”

Under Su Rong's questioning, Duan Fei had no choice but to casually tell her the story of Bao Gong and Dynasty Mahan, Su Rong listened to it with relish, and before she finished speaking, she had already left the city, and a river appeared in front of her.

Duan Fei didn't tell Su Rong any more stories, he followed the county order of Shanggao County to the riverbank, and after dismounting, he passed through the crowd of onlookers, and saw a corpse lying on the bank of the river under the protection of two officials.

Duan Fei didn't go to see the corpse, Yang Sen came, let's leave this kind of thing to him, he asked the officer, "Who found the corpse?" Call him in for questioning. ”

Before the official could answer, an old man in ragged clothes next to him had already knelt down, kowtowed to Duan Fei and said, "Master, I picked up the corpse, but I didn't kill anyone, master, the corpse fell into the net along the water, I really didn't kill anyone." ”

Duan Fei only glanced at him and excluded him from the list of suspects, the corpse was stout and tall, it was not this old man who could kill and throw the corpse, not to mention that the murderer would not throw it into his fishing net, this old man looked timid and afraid, he really didn't look like a murderer.

Duan Fei helped the old man up, and said with a pleasant face: "Old man, don't be afraid, no one said that you are a murderer, I just want to ask you something about what happened when you found the body, it is very important to catch the murderer, please be sure to think clearly and tell the truth, and then you can go home." ”

At this time, Peng Xing, the judge of Ruizhou Mansion, shouted: "This adult is the judge of the prosecutor and the envoy of Lord Duan, Lord Duan has solved countless cases, and the murderer is a quasi-child, as long as the person is not killed by you, you don't have to be afraid!" ”

The old man gradually settled down, and Duan Fei immediately began his regular questioning......
