Chapter 102: Open coffin autopsy
The yacha picked up the shovel and rushed up, Leng Yue's palms were sweaty, Lian Hao told her that one side of the tombstone for consecutive years was engraved with his brother's epitaph, and the other side was just in case, engraved his own, Wan Baofang's appearance, even the old man has been in a trance, so they came to Han County in advance before the Qingming Festival, and shoveled off the side of the tomb of Lian Nian on the tablet and replaced it with the tomb of Lian Hao.
Lian Hao stood there quietly, motionless, he didn't seem to care about the mistakes and omissions he left behind, as if all this was the same for him.
Leng Yue scolded in his heart, you want to die, don't drag them down.
"Oops." Leng Yue was hit by He Xu, his body was sideways, and he happened to hit the tombstone, and when the yacha was digging the tomb, the tombstone was already loose, and it happened that he was hit by Leng Yue like this, but it didn't fall.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Ji saw all this in his eyes, and after Leng Yue fell, he stepped forward to help her up.
He Xu didn't expect that his eagerness would knock Xiaoji's good looks into wrestling, he was stunned for a while, and apologized after reacting: "I'm really sorry, the official was a little anxious just now, and he didn't see the little lady." β
"Defenseless." Leng Yue waved his hand and got up from the monument with the power of Xiaoji.
"Dig now! Dig fast! What's there to see. He Xu reprimanded the errand who was doing things, turned a deaf ear to Leng Yue's words, and never looked at Leng Yue from beginning to end.
He didn't even pay attention to Xiao Ji, let alone a little village woman, if he hadn't seen Xiao Ji's face, what if he hit her with a county order, and he needed to apologize to her?
"You ......" Xiao Ji was about to rush forward to question He Xu, but Leng Yue grabbed him, shook his head at him, and signaled him to forget it.
Xiao Jiqi's sleeves flicked, this He Xu's official frame is really big.
"Dig it, dig it!" The officials cleaned up the soil on the coffin and asked Lord He, "Do you want to open the coffin now?" β
"If you don't open the coffin now, do you have to light incense and burn paper before opening it?" He Xu glared at the yacha who spoke.
Master Chen tilted his head to the side, and he should have burned incense for the deceased before opening the coffin for the autopsy, but when he saw that Lord He's face was not good, and he had done something wrong, he didn't remind him.
Xiao Ji snorted coldly, this kind of person who has no common sense is also worthy of being a parent official?
"Open the coffin!"
"Wait......"
An angry shout overshadowed He Xu's order.
"Dad, why did you bring Jin'er Xiu'er too?" Leng Yue heard the prestige, and saw Lian Laohan holding Jin'er Xiu'er with one hand, and hurriedly greeted him.
"Mother." When Jin'er saw Leng Yue, she threw herself into Leng Yue's arms and cried sadly, and asked Leng Yue intermittently: "Mother, I received a letter saying that my mother is dead, is it true?" β
"Jin'er ......" Leng Yue's throat was like a thorn stuck, uncomfortably tight, and he turned his face and glared at Lian Hao fiercely.
Xiu'er stepped forward, hugged Leng Yue's neck and made love, and said coquettishly in a milky child's voice: "Mother, I miss you so much, you are not there, Xiu'er is hungry and thin." β
Leng Yue couldn't cry or laugh, Jin'er was mature and sensible, Xiu'er was innocent and naΓ―ve, which of these two children made her love a lot.
Lian Lao Han looked at the coffin that was dug up by the official messenger and asked Lord He: "When the lord opens the coffin, shouldn't I put incense on my Hao'er?" He died because of you. β
When He Xu heard this, he immediately burst into thunder, pointed at Lian Laohan and said angrily: "Lian old man, if it weren't for your age, based on what you just said, this official would be enough to arrest you and go to prison." β
"So that's how Lord He decided the case?" Xiao Ji originally wanted not to meddle in the case on He Xu's territory, but he really couldn't stand He Xu's style, and said coldly: "Could it be that Uncle Lian is wrong?" When the government opened the coffin for an autopsy, it should have given incense to the deceased, so why was it wrong for the uncle? Lord He wants to arrest him and put him in prison? β
"......" He Xu was questioned by Xiao Ji, and he was suddenly speechless, and his eyes fell on Master Chen, who nodded lightly at him.
He Xu was transferred to Han County as the county magistrate, and he has always been very little in charge, and many cases were handed over to Master Chen to handle, so that he actually 'forgot' to incense the deceased before opening the coffin for the autopsy.
It seems that you really can't be angry with Master Chen, it's really not good to be without him, now you can catch Xiaoji, why don't you be involved in a copy by him?
"What are you doing? It's fragrant! He Xu could only roar at Master Chen with a fire in his belly, you are a good Xiaoji, you actually reprimanded him in front of the public, and did not give him any face, okay, when the corpse of the year after year is dug up, he will definitely want him to look good.
Master Chen was fortunately prepared, otherwise Lord He would not have been able to take out the incense if he asked him, and Lord He would not have removed him from his post on the spot?
"I'll do it myself." Even the old man snatched the incense in Master Chen's hand, lit it, and inserted it into the soil next to him after worshipping, Master Chen wanted to remind the old man that the incense should be inserted in front of the grave.
"Even the old man, can you open the coffin now?" Lord He raised his chin and said proudly.
Even the old man bowed to He Xu, his tone softened, and said, "Your Excellency, it's okay." β
"Open the coffin." He Xu was disturbed by these people, and he was very angry.
The coffin was pushed open, and what was printed in everyone's eyes was a set of tattered soldiers' uniforms, and even the old man's tears welled up, holding the coffin and complaining: "My Hao'er died on the battlefield, more than two years, Lord He has not returned my son's bones so far, only gave this set of military uniforms to let my old man set up this clothed mound, don't you feel ashamed of my family?" β
When Xiao Ji saw the soldier's uniform in the coffin, he was even more sure that Lian Jiaqi was wronged, and sneered: "This official remembers that when Lord He went to Zhongshan County to see this official last time, he told the official that Lian Hao was the vanguard of General Yang, and this military uniform was not a pioneer preparation, right?" β
ββ¦β¦β
How did he forget about it?
He Xu's head turned quickly, "How does this official know, what General Yang gives to this official, this official will give it to the families of the victims, if Lord Xiao has any questions, you can ask General Yang." β
Anyway, General Yang is Liu Xiang's person, does Xiao Ji dare to really ask?
"Really?" Xiao Ji pulled the corners of his mouth with disdain, and said downhole: "You are the parent official of Han County, and the Lian family was handed over in Han County under your jurisdiction back then, and it must have been written in the household book that Lian Hao was a pioneer when Lord He handed over, why didn't you remind General Yang when General Yang gave you soldier uniforms?" β
"This ......" He Xu found that it was not a wise move to throw the pot to General Yang, and he couldn't guarantee that General Yang would also be run to the emperor by the Xiao family to participate in a book, if he even implicated General Yang with a crime of lax management of the army, then Liu Xiang would not be angry? When the time comes, don't talk about being promoted and making a fortune, it would be good to be able to save your life, thinking of this, He Xu coughed a few times to hide his uneasiness, and said: "General Yang should have given the clothes of the pioneer of the official, maybe there were too many people who died that year, when the official asked the subordinate to do it, the subordinate was confused and sent the wrong clothes, right?" Master Chen, did you get your clothes wrong? β
Master Chen had a bitter face, which was he mistaken, it was when Lord He went to collect the corpses of the people who died in the battle with the household registration of Han County, Lord He was drunk at General Yang's place, and he came back alone on the second day, and the corpses that died in the war were not transported back, and later the families of the victims asked the adults to ask for the bodies of their families, and the adults remembered that they were afraid that the people would be angry and difficult to suppress, so they lied that many corpses were scattered, and General Yang was still checking their identities and sent them back.
Later, the families of the victims came to the county government to make trouble a few times, and Lord He was not very annoyed, so he found a few sets of military uniforms and gave them them, and then there was a great drought in Han County, and many people who could not survive fled one after another, and the matter passed.
Lord He wants to bring down the Xiao family, and he doesn't do his homework beforehand, let him carry this black cauldron, why is his life so bitter?
"Yes, sir! It could be that the villain was mistaken. Master Chen reluctantly admitted his mistake.
"Why are you so!" Master He pointed at Master Chen, pretending to be angry and couldn't say a word, and walked away.
Master Chen watched Master He leave, feeling aggrieved in his heart, and ordered the Yacha to deal with the aftermath, and he ran away.
endured the extremely uncomfortable body and poured a glass of water for Lord He, and flattered: "My lord, drink saliva to dissipate your anger." β
"I ......" Master He grabbed the teacup, or he thought of Master Chen's goodness, he really wanted to throw the cup in Master Chen's face.
"You, it's really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, what are you doing with Lian Hao's benefits to kill Wan Baofang, Lian Hao is in the army and escaped, this matter can make a big fuss, pull the Xiao family off the horse, you also saw it, how much Xiao Ji cares about the little lady of the Lian family, my lord, I finally used her to lure Xiao Ji here, just wait for Xiao Ji to make a mistake, nail Xiao Ji to death for personal gain and drag down his father Xiao Heng, you are good, kill Wan Bao Fang, who will accuse Lian Hao of not being a year now?"
He Xu angrily paced back and forth in the room, "The tomb, it is estimated that Lian Hao has already designed it, this evidence is in vain, if Wan Baofang is here, she and Lian Nian have lived for five years, even if there is no grave for Lian Nian as evidence, Wan Baofang can also accuse Lian Hao from the details, once the accusation is true, I will be able to cross the Xiao family and make steady progress, and you can also follow the light, now it's okay, as soon as the person dies, Xiao Ji will take my handle, if I let Xiao Ji participate in a book, I have to peel your skin." β
Master Chen didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere of being trained by Master He, he knew that he was wrong, and hung his head and said weakly: "I let that Lian Hao get drunk at the time, so I didn't think about it so much!" β
"Aren't you usually quite shrewd?" It's good that Master Chen didn't defend himself, but as soon as he defended, He Xu kicked him angrily, "Say, how much silver did he give you?" Let you make this low-level mistake. β
Master Chen didn't dare to report the full number, and only stretched out three fingers.
"It's so! Thirty taels of silver will let you kill the plaintiff, you really can do it. He Xu slapped the table and was furious: "Hand over the thirty taels of silver." β
Master Chen took out the silver from his body aggrieved, it was really unlucky, he was looking for spring flowers and autumn moon in the flower boat, and he didn't want the two **** to treat him comfortably last time, but when he looked for them again, he refused to do so, beat them a few times, and the person fell to the ground and died, causing him to pay his mother twenty taels of silver, and now he wants to confiscate thirty taels, it really hurts.
"Adult, the little one listened to what the jailer in the prison said, what did Wan Baofang shout before he died: Nianzi, I came to accompany you with this sentence, I don't know if I can sue Lian Hao for not Lian Nian?" Master Chen looked at the silver on the table and said.
"What did you say?" He Xu stood up suddenly.
