"This Lin'an City seems to be prosperous, but not far from the city to the south, there is a mass grave. The court didn't know about it, but they all turned one eye open, closed one eye, and let him go. After all, in these years, there are dirty things everywhere. ”

Qiao Guanbai said, becoming serious, "The mass grave is not just thrown there to feed the dogs, most of them are dug a pit and buried shallowly." If the poor people bury their relatives, there is a wooden plaque as a monument. ”

"Most of the people who died in vain like this have no trace. However, after running around that place a lot, it became very familiar, and the Li family had no way to find four people from the sea of corpses and bones. But my wife can. ”

"It's not that I'm bragging for her, you just point at it, she can tell men, women and children, what year it comes. Their ancestors have been doing work in this realm for generations, and they have passed down a book of mass graves from generation to generation, and they all remember those unjust souls! ”

Chen Wangshu was amazed when he heard it, "So even if the official didn't go to Xiaoguanlou, then the sister-in-law would find that there were suddenly a few more corpses on the mass grave." ”

Qiao Guanbai nodded, "The one who did the work, that Yizhuang and the mass grave, just like their family, there are four new guys in the family, why don't you notice?" ”

"Following the clues given by the Li family, we went to investigate. Of these four, one is the main ...... The rest of the people happened to get involved. ”

Chen Wangshu was not surprised, "Well, there is indeed one who wants to marry Li Yuzhao." ”

"This person's name is Zhang Chao, a staff member of the Tongping Palace, Zhang Or, from the same Zhangjia Village. After Zhang Chao's scientific expedition, he stayed in Lin'an Mansion and lived in Zhang He's house. ”

After Zhang or Jinbang was named, he married a rich wife and couldn't hold his head up at home. Zhang Chao is dirty, relying on his youth, and secretly wants to pry or corner. ”

Zhang Or gave him an idea and told him to target Li Yuzhao. Li Yuzhao is a girl from the Zhang family, and she is quite respected, if Zhang Chao can marry her, then the relationship between the Li family and Princess Ping will be even closer. ”

Yan Jue frowned, "Zhang Chao thought that he was a great achievement, and he curry favor in front of King Ping, but as everyone knows, they think that in-laws are nothing, and the rising tide is too bad, if he is allowed to marry the daughter of the Li family, the two families will have a disagreement." ”

"It's better for King Ping to be his own and accept Li Yuzhao as a side concubine. They had already thought about it and wanted Zhang Chao to die. ”

Qiao Guanbai nodded, "That's right." Zhang Chaoxin was bold but small, and he had a bit of righteousness in the rivers and lakes, so he called a few fellow villagers who came together to pretend to save Li Yuzhao, so that he had the matter of killing him with one blow and four kills. ”

"So, this case, you have already found out?" Yan Jue asked.

"It wasn't a complicated case. Xiao Guanlou was still selling the wine brewed by Mrs. Li, but he didn't eat the dead. When the dead man died, he bled from all seven orifices, and it was terrible. Apparently they thought that they were going to dispose of the corpse immediately, and they didn't use any more advanced methods. ”

"When my lady had not yet performed an autopsy, she could see at a glance that it was probably arsenic. Arsenic is not casual, Pingwangfu doesn't want to have anything to do with it, it's the shopkeeper of the small Guan Building, who went to the pharmacy to get it.

I caught him, and after three or two strikes, he recruited him. ”

Chen Wangshu gave a thumbs up, "That's not it, if it weren't for a capable person like my sister-in-law, if I found the four corpses, the Li family would not be able to wash them even if they jumped into the Yellow River." ”

Without a corpse, how can it be proved that the four were poisoned by arsenic? I don't know if it's arsenic, so there's nothing to follow......

Even if it proves that the shopkeeper bought arsenic, so what, don't Xing poisonous rats in restaurants?

At this time, the door creaked open, Chen Changge's face was pale, and he walked in with vain steps, obviously even vomiting up the overnight meal.

Immediately behind him was the little second brother in the teahouse, they served the dishes one by one, and after a while, a table full of them was spread.

Chen Wangshu glanced at Chen Changge with disdain, "Sit down quickly, drink some hot soup first, look at you, you are embarrassed." So what's there to be afraid of? Anyway, when you were in Tokyo City, you already remembered. ”

"Haven't you seen the corpses all over the field, and there is blood everywhere? Later, when I went south, when I opened my eyes, there was one less person beside me, and it was terrifying everywhere from here to there. ”

"You guts, but the longer you go, the more you go back. Yan Jue, you have dried plums on you, give him a piece. ”

Yan Jue took out a bag of food from his sleeve pocket and threw it to Chen Changge.

Chen Wangshu is greedy, and Yan Jue has always carried these on him in case of emergency.

Chen Changge glanced at Chen Wangshu with a complicated expression, picked up the dried plum and put it in his mouth, this dried plum added a lot of licorice, and put it in his mouth, bitter, with a hint of sweetness.

It's about, like his life.

"Got it, sister. Master Joe, is the case over? ”

Qiao Guanbai smiled, "I didn't say it, the key points you found were specially left for you to talk about." ”

Chen Changge was stunned for a moment, first a little surprised, and then nodded obediently, which was completely different from the appearance of opening his teeth and dancing in front of Chen Wangshu.

"My brother-in-law came to the government today, but for the sake of military salary? Speaking of which, in this case, we did find a little clue. ”

Chen Changge said, his expression became serious, "Zhang Chao has no ability, he is just an ordinary scholar, how can he save Li Yuzhao from the bandits?" Don't talk about the four of them, they beat Zhuge Liang. ”

"As long as they have the ability of Mr. Kong Ming's goose feather fan, they will not lose their name in Sun Mountain. Those bandits were also pretended to be people in the rivers and lakes who had been bought early on. ”

"Those people, with a bit of Shu accent, say that they are from the rivers and lakes, but they are more like ghost troops."

Chen Wangshu frowned, "Ghost Army? ”

When Yan Jue heard this, he explained, "I came to Anfu today because we received a secret letter from Yushitai. To be precise, it was a secret letter submitted by the third uncle. ”

"I talked about the Ghost Army. Our Dachen is now surrounded by strong enemies, and the Northern Qi is eyeing it and wants to attack it at any time, so the military service is heavier than ever. ”

Yan Jue said, smiling mockingly, "Obviously, it is important to emphasize literature and ignore martial arts, and high-ranking officials and nobles are eager for their children to read sage books, but ordinary people are overwhelmed by military service." In the same Great Chen Dynasty, it is as if they were born in two worlds. ”

"In addition to the garrison at the border pass, there are troops deployed in various places. But because of the courage of the border soldiers, Daqi has not been able to advance an inch for ten years. The nearby states and counties trained their troops, and they slacked off. ”

"There are many places where many people are conscripted into service, but they don't want to support them. The general took the salaries and released the group. They can't rush home, they are deserters, they can only wander outside, and when the time comes. Go home again. ”

"It's in charge of the army, it's called the Ghost Army."
