003 Dancing in the Night
The county magistrate of Pingjiang County is named Gu Donglin, a middle-aged man in his thirties, with slightly less hair, some obesity, and he doesn't look very majestic, but few people are not afraid of him.
Early the next morning, Gu Donglin was still warming the quilt with his concubine, when he suddenly heard the sound of someone beating the red drum at the entrance of the county government.
He was a little angry, gently soothed the beautiful concubine who had a little resentment in his eyes, put on his clothes in three or two, opened the door, and the master was already waiting at the door.
Seeing him, Gu Donglin frowned and asked, "Who reported the case?" β
"The one who reported the case was Chen San, the rotten gambler on East Street, he was panicked, and he couldn't speak clearly, just talking nonsense about what people can dance with their bones." The master replied.
"Dancing human bones?" Gu Donglin frowned, "You can deal with this ridiculous thing." That guy was obviously here to mess around, so he didn't send someone to kick him out quickly. β
As he said that, he was about to go back to the room, but Master Wu Xiucai hurriedly grabbed him, "My lord, that guy came with human bones." β
Gu Donglin's footsteps paused, "Really? β
Wu Xiucai nodded with a heavy face.
Gu Donglin realized that the situation might be a little serious, I don't know if it was because Wen Cun was still there last night, he only felt that his back seemed to be crossed by a cold and slender finger, but he shivered in broad daylight, and his voice couldn't help but lower, "Master Wu, what do you think?" β
"Let's try it first." The master responded, and Gu Donglin also nodded.
The two of them walked to the lobby one after the other.
The population of Pingjiang County is not large, and there are generally only some cases of fights and brawls in the county yali, and it is not without homicides, but there are very few, and when this situation is generally encountered, it is directly taken over by Dali Temple.
However, now the steward of Dali Temple loves the Qinglou woman, and the drunkenness all day long has become known to everyone, and the people under him have been transferred to other sub-jurisdictions because of their faces, and now there is only that drunkard left in the entire Dali Temple, let Gu Donglin go to the drunkard to judge the case, it is better to try it in person.
Entering the lobby, Gu Donglin tidied up his clothes, and saw Chen San kneeling in the center of the hall at a glance.
It is really sad for the listeners, and tears for the seeers.
Gu Donglin sat upright, patted the hall in shock, and his voice was strong and powerful, "Is it Chen San in the hall?" β
"Yes, sir."
The killing sticks were displayed one by one, and Chen San didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
"Why are you beating the drums?"
Chen San wiped his tears and hurriedly said, "My lord, I found a murder!" β
Homicide case? Gu Donglin's heart froze, "Say!" β
Chen San swallowed his saliva and said, "This morning, the villain woke up from the corner of East Street and found a human skeleton and a pile of dark coins!" He stretched out his hand and pointed, and Gu Donglin saw a human skeleton full of claw marks in front of him, as well as a piece of paper money.
Seeing the criss-crossed bones with tooth marks, Gu Donglin's heart tightened.
He was about to send someone to present these to take a clear look, but he was panicked when he saw the black hole in the man's skull, so he avoided this link.
He tilted his head to the side, "Master, has there been a case of county citizens missing in Pingjiang County recently?" β
"Nope." Master Wu flipped through a few pages of the case and replied.
"Since no one is missing, we can't see the identity of the deceased from this skeleton, so it's hard to get started. In this way, this case will be written down for the time being, and he will discuss it later when more clues are found. Gu Donglin was about to shoot the shocking wood again, but he saw Chen San in cold sweat, his body trembling, and his face pale.
Gu Donglin frowned and looked fixedly!
The room was full of daylight, Chen San's whole body was soaked in the sunlight that hung into the hall, and what evil had already been killed by ultraviolet rays, but he was obviously frightened in this state!
Gu Donglin was full of doubts in his heart, sighed helplessly, and before he could speak, Chen San took care of himself and said.
"Last night, the villain gambled and lost, drank two taels of wine, thought that what he kicked on the road was a pile of waste paper, but he polished his eyes and found that it was a pile of silver tickets, so he stuffed it into his arms. The villain was blinded by lard at that time, and he didn't know that it was the dead man's money for asking for directions! β
Chen San slapped himself while crying, and continued:
"I was sleeping in the dark and playing on the corner of East Street, and when I was sleeping, I heard a slight movement, and dimly saw a dark figure running up, he looked very painful, as if it was very cold, and it seemed to be very hot, and his mouth just hummed, and without saying a word, he danced."
When he said this, his whole body trembled like chaff, and his tears and snot were mixed together, "I swear I've never seen such a hair-raising dance in my life!" The joints of that man's limbs were out of place, but he was still shaking his limbs desperately! I could feel his movements getting slower, but I didn't dare to stop, because as soon as he stopped, the dogs would pounce on him! β
"Chen San, stay objective, don't add oil and vinegar!" Master Wu reminded.
Although there are only three or two people outside the hall, these ghosts still have to be paid attention to, and it is not good to make people panic.
And like these ruffians, they hate the government the most on weekdays, and few will come to report to the official, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Chen Sanhao is the only one.
The master was a little skeptical, but considering that the impact was not good.
Seeing that the master didn't believe it, Chen San immediately became anxious, "My lord, what I said is true!" β
"Are there any eyewitnesses?"
"No, no!" Chen San shook his head.
"You mean, we have to take your word for it, believing that the human skeleton in front of you was still a living person last night, and that a pile of dark coins on the ground is actually a pile of silver tickets?" The master's eyes widened with anger.
Chen San was stunned by Master Wu's glare, and then howled and cried, "The dead borrow the way!" The dead borrow the way! β
As if he was crazy, he suddenly stood up, and the corners of his mouth went from the bottom to the top, and he slowly grinned an extremely strange smile.
"I took his money and got in his way, I damn it! I really... Damn it! β
As he spoke, he slammed his head into the pillar.
His movements were so fast and sudden that everyone couldn't react at all, and they were about to crash to death on the red beams surrounded by the two people in the lobby, when a figure suddenly flashed, and Chen San's body stopped abruptly in mid-air, slumped to the ground, and was silent.
The man did not die, he was saved.
Gu Donglin breathed a long sigh of relief.
He didn't expect Chen San to be so crazy, if he really crashed to death in the county office, then the name of the head of Pingjiang County would have to hang over others.
If the situation is a little worse, everyone will know about it, and he and Master Wu will have to go to prison.
Before he had time to rejoice, after seeing the person clearly, Gu Donglin's expression froze.
This person was wearing an openwork plain gold, and a lifelike one-horned rhinoceros was tattooed on his repair clothes, and it could be seen from the dress that he was an eight-rank military attachΓ©, one level higher than him.
It wasn't that that that made him care, it was something else.
The person who came had a snow-white complexion, soft skin, red lips and white teeth, and moving eyebrows and eyes, and she was a woman at first glance, and she was also an extremely beautiful woman.
She is equipped with a sword, which is no different from that drunken ghost Zhu Tianshu, and it belongs to Dali Temple!
Gu Donglin found that he was happy too soon.
He had never seen this woman, so he could only show that this woman was newly sent to Dali Temple in Pingjiang County, and it happened to catch up with Chen Sanxun's death.
It's not going to end well now, Gu Donglin originally wanted to turn big things into small things and small things, but the development of things was completely unexpected by him.
"Master Gu, what's going on?" Liu Ruzhi swept his eyebrows and asked.
