I'm going to go to Grandma Gu to get money to rent a donkey cart!

Mo Wenxiaodao, who was abandoned by Lan Ting vigorously and resolutely in the Taishi Mansion, suddenly had such an ambition, but unfortunately he did not have such courage, so he had to rent a car out of his own pocket in frustration, and started the first trip to the outer city of Kyoto. Why can't I follow Zhuang Yuanlang to the Shuntian Mansion? There are so many servants in the Taishi's Mansion, can you just send Tang Tongzuo to Chai Hu Pu to meet? I need to waste this money in vain! ”

The person who followed Lan Ting today is Qiao Zhuang, although he does not take the autopsy as his career, but in view of the fact that there are still inextricable links between the doctor and the doctor, Dr. Qiao is also very interested in going to watch, but he is skeptical about Mo Wenxiaodao's integrity, although he is accompanying Lan Ting to Shuntian Mansion at this time, he can't help but mutter: "Why is the uncle so trustworthy and can't help asking?" In my opinion, Chai Sheng is indeed a real person, but in the ten sentences of Mo Wen, seven and a half are boasting, and the other two are half twisted and twisted, and there may be half a bucket of water, does the uncle really believe that he is strong in Taoism? Uncle never believed in the gossip of these gods and ghosts. ”

"Don't forget that during the Fenyang period, if the murder of Wang Jiugui's family was not for this little Taoist, how did we know that the Bai family was murdered, but I am afraid that even the Zhou family was poisoned and killed, and in the end it will end in death, although I don't believe in the ghosts and gods, I can't find evidence of the Xiaodaochang's lies, and the fact I see is that the Bai family is indeed wronged, so this time, I would rather believe it."

The reason was too strong, but Qiao Zhuang was sneered: "It's me who is obsessed, just looking at the appearance of the words, but ignoring the things that have been confirmed." ”

"But maybe your opinion of the little Taoist is not all prejudice, maybe there is another master behind him." Lan Tinghu said again.

"Oh?" Qiao Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said, "There are other masters? Could it be that Chai Sheng is deeply hidden? ”

"Perhaps." Lan Ting smiled incomprehensibly.

Shuntian Mansion is located in the north of the Imperial City on the Gulou Street, where there are not only the most concentrated and prosperous commercial markets in the inner city of Kyoto, but also densely packed with many high-ranking officials and noble mansions, such as the Qin Palace, the Qi Palace, are also concentrated in this area, from the Taishi Mansion does not need to waste too long time, but here is of course far away from the Chai Hu Pu located in the outer city, so in order to save time, Lan Ting simply rode lightly with Qiao Zhuang, not according to the time of the official travel sedan chair, in order not to be too eye-catching, Lan Ting did not wear official uniforms, Therefore, when he arrived at the yamen, he was inevitably handed over the name card to accept the interrogation, but fortunately, at this time, the name of the new section champion was very loud, so the officials guarding the door heard that Zhao Xiushu had come to see Shi Tuiguan, and he did not dare to delay with a pretentious attitude, and immediately led Lan Ting to the yamen.

Although Shuntianfu Yin is the chief, but he is in charge of the Gyeonggi criminal name Qian Gu, not to mention, he is also responsible for the priest Xiannong's god, Fengtianzi farming and hunting, supervising the township test, supplying examination equipment, etc., the work is very busy, so he generally does not personally execute the sentence, let alone inspect the scene, and now the Shuntianfu Yin Shi Defang has not healed from his injuries, and the emperor specially ordered him to recuperate at home, and he should not sit in the yamen today, so Lan Ting plans to directly visit Shi Yuanhe, the official who is in charge of the punishment.

Speaking of which, this is Shi Buqun's uncle, and he has also been instructed by Master Zhao in the examination, so Lan Ting has known each other for a long time.

Lan Ting usually called him "Uncle Shi Shi".

However, Shi Tuiguan is not much older than Shi Buqun, only he entered the office early, and has served in the Hanlin Academy and Guozijian respectively, so he should take the path of Qinggui promotion like most of the children of the scholar family who were born in Jinshi, but Shi Yuanhe himself applied for current affairs experience, and he was still a new official for a short time, and he had not handled a life lawsuit.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that there was a very likely serious case of extermination in Chai Hupu, the magistrate rolled up his sleeves and walked away, talking as he walked.

Lan Ting just briefly recounted the case, and did not use Mo Wen's words about the unjust souls harming the world as a reason, but fortunately, Shi Yuanhe did not dwell on these details, and was immersed in the excitement of possibly handling the first murder case, and even after a while, Qiao Zhuang, who had left an opinion on his back and carried the medicine box, also accompanied him, and his eyes widened in surprise: "Could it be that Qiao Langjun still wants to try to use the Danqing technique to bring people back from the dead?" ”

The Zhao and Shi families were originally world friends, and the old lady of the Shi family was seriously ill that year, and she made a special trip to invite Qiao Zhuang to go for diagnosis and treatment, so Shi Yuanhe knew that although Qiao Zhuang was a servant of the Taishi Mansion, he was taught by Gao Taiyi and was well versed in Xinglin medical skills, so he was always commensurate with Lang Jun and did not treat him as a servant.

Just didn't turn the corner, Qiao Zhuang didn't accompany him this time, not to save the life and help the wounded.

Qiao Zhuang couldn't help coughing in embarrassment, and Lan Ting explained on his behalf: "I just guess that there may be something strange about this case, but it still needs to be confirmed after the scene and the body ......"

Before he finished explaining, he saw Shi Yuanhe slap his head with a palm: "I just said that I forgot something and didn't bring my work!" ”

"The chief of the chai hu shop reported a fire accident, and we are just suspicious now, if we go out to Shuntianfu, we have to go through the motions and waste a lot of time, it is better to go to Yizhuang with the court to investigate, if you really find a suspicious point, it is not too late to officially file by Shuntianfu." Lan Ting and Chun Gui really had a good heart, and they thought that if this case was really strange, it would be the key to immediately inspect the body before it was decomposed and dealt with by Yizhuang, but the official office had its own procedures for handling the case, and it could not be delayed in an emergency.

Shi Yuanhe's eyes widened again: "I only know that Qiao Langjun has superb medical skills, but I don't know that Qiao Langjun is also proficient in inquest of corpses." ”

This time, Qiao Zhuang hurriedly explained to himself: "The villain went with him, and he just wanted to observe and learn. ”

Lan Ting hurriedly hurried up to finish speaking: "I have a relative and friend, I happen to know an old man, and he has asked him to go to Chai Hu Shop, maybe he will arrive with our heels, but Uncle Shi had better call a few officials from the torture hall, in case the investigation of the corpse found clues and immediately need to seal the place of the crime, the tragedy of a family of four, but the chief took it upon himself to close the case with an accidental fire, it is difficult to guarantee that he has been bribed and bought by the murderer, and then he heard that it has alarmed Shuntianfu, and he can't guarantee that he will destroy the scene." ”

It has been two days since the incident, in fact, maybe someone has already moved on the scene, and Lan Ting is only doing this with the feeling of luck and making amends.

Shi Yuanhe patted his head and turned a corner, grabbed a servant and asked him to call someone quickly.

The servants followed the officials to go out, unlike the troublesome procedures such as the need to file for the record, Lan Ting and Qiao Zhuang had just ridden the horses, and the personnel had already been gathered, but Shi Yuanhe worked hard for a long time but couldn't get on the horse, Lan Ting heard him drink the previous officials to use as a back, and only then did he come back to his senses This uncle may not be able to ride a horse at all, and he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh

"Uncle Shi doesn't know how to ride, even if he gets on a horse, he can't sit steadily, so it's better to ride a car." ”

It's no wonder that Uncle Shi Shi invited himself to practice and hone himself, in addition to being familiar with the scriptures and history, I am afraid that he really doesn't even know the market price of oil, salt, firewood and rice, it is really hard to imagine that such an official will follow the path of promotion until he enters the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister, in addition to empty talk, what role can he have in misleading the country and the people Of course, Lan Ting's slander is not aimed at Uncle Shi Shi, at least Uncle Shi knows his own shortcomings and is working hard to improve, isn't it?

The corpse that was sent to Yizhuang by the chief of the armor is theoretically not allowed to be approached by idle people, and it needs to be reported to the official office to issue a document before it can be processed, but since the official has come to inspect it, no one in Yizhuang's miscellaneous servants dares to stop it, Shi Shishu strode into the meteor in his official uniform, stumbled on the threshold, and fell in public with his face facing the loess with his back to the sky, and when Lan Ting caught up, he had already stood up neatly, and continued to rush in despite the fact that a bunch of servants were holding back laughter.

But Uncle Shi, who was eager to solve the case, overestimated his endurance, and when he saw the four corpses that had already emitted a stench, his knees were weak and he almost fell directly on the corpses.

This time, Lan Ting supported him in time.

However, Uncle Shi Shi was quite dedicated, although he felt that his internal organs were turning upside down, and his legs and feet were as hard as noodles, he still hung on the shoulders of the two servants and insisted on witnessing the whole process of the autopsy.

It wasn't until he went to inspect the crime scene in Lane 13 that Uncle Shi finally didn't have to walk on other people's shoulders, and he regained a little bit of the official authority of the official. But on closer inspection, it is still not difficult to find that this adult's face is as pale as paper, his forehead is drenched in sweat, and he seems to vomit three times when he says a word, which is very similar to the symptoms of heat stroke.

The onlookers found that the young descendants who accompanied the magistrate were handsome and elegant, but with a glance of idle clouds and breeze, the power could suppress the noise for three points.

The chief of Chai Hupu was not alarmed, although the onlookers were surprised, they did not dare to make a fuss, but what Lan Ting did not expect was that this road came smoothly, and when he investigated the scene, he was blocked.

It was Fan Da's left neighbor who stopped them, and in order to be brave, he also pulled his big yellow dog.

Coincidentally, this person is also known as rhubarb by the neighbors.

"This is my family's house, and the adults are surrounding this place, do you want to occupy the people's property?"

Shi Tuiguan was just able to stand firmly, and he was dizzy in his mind when he was asked this question: "Your house? Didn't you say that Fan Da's whole family was lost in the fire? How can there be a survivor? Who are you? ”

"What is my relationship with the surname Fan? But this house now belongs to me, and it happens that all the neighbors are here today, and I can tell this that the big guy can be a witness for me. ”

Shi Tuiguan bowed his head and said, "Oh, your house is leased to Fan Da, right?" ”

Lan Ting really couldn't listen to it anymore, and interjected: "According to investigation, the Fan family died of arson, this is the official Shi of Shuntian Mansion, today I came to investigate the scene to inquire about the case, since you claim that the place where the crime occurred belongs to you now, the relevant personnel of this criminal case, according to the law, first hand over your household post to the official for registration and verification, and you must also go to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion for interrogation." ”

As soon as Lan Ting's words fell, there was a lot of noise around him as if a long series of artillery battles had been lit.
