Zhao Yi sat in the pavilion blowing the wind.

Father-in-law Chang felt sorry for him, came in with a teacup, and asked cautiously: "Lord Wang, you have been walking back and forth for a day, go and rest early." ”

"Not tired." Zhao Yi said.

"You didn't bring the medicine with you today?"

"Take it."

Father-in-law Chang looked at him, and saw that the tips of his ears and cheeks were slightly red, and he was suddenly startled: "Aren't you sick?" ”

As he spoke, he put his hand on Zhao Yi's forehead.

"Piping hot!" Father-in-law Chang slapped his thigh and shouted, "Fu Yu, go and find the house doctor, the prince has a fever." ”

Fu Yu should be going to find a doctor.

"I'm fine." Zhao Yi returned the teacup to Chang Gonggong, "Don't be surprised. ”

Saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Father-in-law Chang stood in place, wanting to go up and ask, why is your face so hot when you are not sick, but seeing Zhao Yi like this, he didn't dare.

……

On the second day, Song Ning ran back for breakfast, and on the table was the snacks that Zhao Yi rewarded her last night, a total of eight yuan, she ate seven yuan, and wrapped a piece of paper in her arms.

"Husband." Bai Jiaojiao heard the footsteps and ran out with her skirt, "Last night, did the prince come to you?" ”

Song Ning nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

"What is the prince looking for you?"

Song Ning lied to the gods: "I asked him to bring a good one for my father, and he came to tell me that he brought it." ”

"Oh, I see." Bai Jiaojiao grunted down the steps, walked seven or eight steps and remembered, and waved at Song Ning, "I'll go to the peony garden." ”

Saying that, he walked away.

Song Ning reacted at this time, she lied to Bai Jiaojiao.

"The main thing is to blame the prince, I shouldn't have given me a box of pastries in the middle of the night, and I don't have an entry point to explain."

What kind of pastries did she bring with her, causing her to lie, Song Ning muttered and went to the outer courtyard.

Ma Santong was carrying a bag and carrying a flag to go out with Xiaotian, she asked, "You came out of the stall so early today?" ”

"Poor Dao looks at the good weather, and he will definitely make a lot of money today." Ma Santong smiled, "Lord Song, do you still have a treat to dinner?" ”

Song Ning ignored him and waved his hand: "Quickly set up a stall." ”

Ma Santong left, Xiaotian followed Song Ning, she asked, "Where is your little beautiful dog, are you chasing it?" ”

Xiaotian: "Wang. ”

"None? Is it so hard to chase? ”

"Whew."

Song Ning touched its head and said sympathetically: "There's no way to do it, who made you not handsome enough." ”

Xiao Tian drooped his head.

"But it's okay, let's buy ten chicken legs another day, and try to give you a kiss, if it doesn't agree, then it really doesn't like you." Twisted melons are not sweet. ”

Xiaotian: "Wangwang." ”

It's just a melon.

"There is a difference between humans and dogs, you don't understand this."

The two of them were muttering and talking, and suddenly someone rushed out of the slanted flute and shouted, "Lord Song, Lord Song!" ”

"What's wrong?" Song Ning helped the person who rushed over, it was a young man in his twenties, about the same height as Song Ning, fat and dumb, panting.

Song Ning looked at him, and suddenly thought of Dou Hua.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency." The man shouted at Song Ning, "Yes, someone is dead." ”

Song Ning frowned and said, "Dead people, are you sure?" ”

"Sure, there's a lot of people around there. It was a carpenter who worked for the Min Guan's house next door, and he had just been found dead in the stone pile in the corner. ”

Song Ning bowed: "Don't worry, I'll go with you." ”

She said and instructed Xiaotian: "Xiaotian, you go back and call Shen Zhutou and they will take my burden to the place where the crime occurred." ”

Xiao Tianzi slipped away, he wouldn't say where the crime happened, but Shen Wenyu would ask along the street.

"What do you call it?" Song Ning and the man talked as they walked, "Who is the deceased?" ”

The man replied: "The student's name is Cui Jue, and the student's family lives in the T-shaped alley at the end of this alley. The students didn't know who the deceased was, because he worked as a carpenter at the Min Guan's house next door, and he had seen him in and out twice. ”

"Originally, it was not the turn of the student to report to the official, but as soon as I heard that the Min official was going to Longxingda, the student stopped the job and came to you." Cui Jue said.

Song Ning thanked: "Thank you for remembering." ”

"No, this kind of big case must be found by you, an adult, Long Xingda has handled a few unjust cases."

The two talked, walked all the way down the alley, and turned left to see the T-shaped alley that Cui Jue said.

At this moment, there are a lot of people gathered at the mouth of the alley, and you are discussing it word by word.

Cui Jue shouted: "Let it go, let it, the adults are here." ”

Everyone looked back at Song Ning and saluted her one after another.

Song Ning said hello one by one, followed the path guided by everyone, entered a house, and a fat man of about fifty greeted him at the door: "My lord, that wall is very strong, and the villain doesn't know why it fell." ”

"He's a carpenter, and he's doing something in the corner."

Song Ning looked at the other party and asked, "What do you call it?" ”

"Ah, the villain panicked, and became incoherent. The villain Min Anbang, please say hello to the adults. ”

"This house was newly bought by the villain, and now a carpenter has been hired to come home and make furniture."

"Things are almost done, it's almost over in the next two days, but I didn't expect this to happen."

"Please be aware of it."

He said his matter impatiently, and Song Ning asked, "What is the name of the deceased, where is he from, have you informed his family?" ”

"His name is Ye Yong, he lives in the fruit village outside the West City Gate, he works as a carpenter in the city all the year round, his skills are good, and many people know him."

"Inform the family...... The villain forgot about this, so should he notify now? ”

Song Ning bowed his head and explained: "Let the person who is in charge of the family come over." ”

"Yes, yes, the villain will invite someone to go."

The courtyard of the Min family is not large, from the entrance to the end, there are a total of two courtyards. The front is the hugging of the building and the outer courtyard, and the inner courtyard is dragged by the cover courtyard through a hanging flower door, and then the back is the inverted seat.

And the dead died in the partition wall of the courtyard.

The wall is made of gray bricks, and the corners of the walls are toppled in large sections.

The deceased was dragged out at this moment and lay next to this mess of bricks.

The deceased was wearing a gray brown suit, black cloth shoes, and a jacket with black patches on the pockets of his upper body.

The deceased had dried blood on his face and a visual wound on his forehead.

In addition to the accident, the deceased's face was covered with brick ash and smashed subcutaneous hemorrhage.

At this moment, there were three middle-aged men standing around, all of them with pale faces and panic.

Song Ning went up and felt his pulse and confirmed that he was dead.

"Who first found out, and what time was it?" Song Ning asked.

"It was Zhang Derun who found it."

A short and fat middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted, "Say hello to the adults, it was the villain who first found out, and it was three o'clock at the time." ”

"Tell me about what you saw at the time." Song Ning stood on the edge of the bricks and inspected the surrounding environment.

Zhang Derun replied: "Yesterday we made a wardrobe in the cover courtyard. He said, pointing to the house in front of him, "Today, as soon as the villain entered the courtyard, he saw that the wall had fallen down here, and he wondered how the wall had fallen. ”

"When I ran over and looked, I saw a pair of shoes sticking out of the bricks."

The villain was so frightened that he turned around and ran, just when he bumped into Tao San coming in. He was a little bolder in the villain, and the two of them worked together to remove some of the bricks, only to see the faces of the people below. ”

Song Ning looked at Tao San.

Tao San nodded and said, "When the villain came in, I happened to see him running outside, screaming as he ran." ”

Another person named Ma Er also chimed in: "When the villain came in, they were moving bricks, and then I knew that Ye Yong was dead." ”

"You moved out together?"

"Yes, the three of us came out of the bricks."

"Was there anything you noticed at the scene?" Song Ning asked.

The three of them looked at each other, and Zhang Derun replied: "The villain didn't pay attention to anything, and there was really nothing else." ”

Tao San also thought for a while: "It's similar to now, we haven't touched anything else except moving bricks." ”

"Good work." Song Ning squatted down and rummaged through the deceased's pocket, which contained nothing but a folded carpenter's ruler.

She set the ruler aside and unbuttoned the deceased's shirt.

There were several minor bleeding spots from bricks on his chest and arms, and there were no other fatal injuries.

There is a two-inch tear in the hairline of the forehead, and the blood on the face flows from here, which is a wound caused before death.

Turning the deceased's head sideways, it was found that the deceased had been hit in the back of the head, and his hand was visibly dented to the touch.

The deceased's cornea was slightly cloudy, his whole body was stiff, and the corpse spots on his back melted into large patches, and the time of death was about two and a half to three hours, and he died around ugly hours last night.

Song Ning did not move the deceased again.

"Is this brick wall also new?" She tried to push it, but even though it was a ruined wall, it was still strong.

"It's a new brick, I heard Min Guanren mention it, it was built when the bricklayer came in to do things last month." Zhang Derun explained to Song Ning.

Song Ning asked, "Isn't this wall built badly?" How many of you didn't notice that the wall was a dangerous wall? ”

"It's a sturdy wall." Zhang Derun explained to Song Ning, "The mud and glutinous rice here are used very much, and the bricks are also willing to be used, they are all flat walls, and the wall lines are also very positive, so it stands to reason that they should not be poured." ”

"Look at the foundation of the wall down there, it's also dug deep, and it shouldn't collapse for no reason."

"What if it falls, what will happen in your experience?"

The three of them had no scruples, and Tao San opened his mouth and said, "People pushed it." ”

Cui Jue, who was shouting to her at the scene, coughed and said, "If you are not sure, don't talk nonsense with adults." ”

Tao San didn't feel that he was talking nonsense: "That's true, it didn't rain or wind last night, and the good wall fell, it must have been pushed by someone." ”

Cui Jue was right to think about it, and didn't speak.

Song Ning nodded.

"Did the deceased live here all along?"

Tao San replied: "No, he said yesterday that he didn't want to go home, so he stayed here." ”

Song Ning was about to speak, Min Anbang ran in with three people, and the old woman cried and shouted, "Where is my son?" ”

Song Ning looked at the three of them.
