Chapter 268: Pry the Foot of the Wall
Don't make a fuss, didn't you hear those guards call that lady Xu? I heard that there is a strange girl who came out of Yunzhou City, and she can also enter the Yin Si to push the case, and that woman is also surnamed Xu."
"I've also heard that the storyteller didn't make a lot of money through those books a few days ago!"
"It is said that she really dissected the corpse, and a few days ago in Jinzhou City, she disemboweled a young lady in public."
The more everyone talked, the more bizarre it became, only to feel a chill rising from the soles of their feet, spreading up their backs, and then shivering.
All kinds of speculation from outsiders were in the dust with Xu Chu's night autopsy. At the same time, it also makes the people who have been tracking them all the way move.
In the room, after Xu Chu washed his hands and took the Su Hexiang round that Xiao Qinglang handed to his mouth, he saw Wei Guang and several guards bowing to him and thanking him.
She hurriedly waved her hand to get people up, and said with a smile, "This thing is also an inch, when that guy dies, I will meet you to feed the horses." In fact, no matter what the results of the autopsy are, according to the strategy of the childe, you can return your innocence with a little temptation. ”
The shopkeeper is not a traitor, not a ruthless person, at most he is used to it. Not to mention Xiao Qinglang, even if Wei Guang pulled out his knife and threatened a few words, maybe he would tell the truth.
Obviously, Wei Guang and the others didn't think so, especially Wei Guang said shamefully, "Even so, our brother was able to get out today thanks to you." This thank you is meant to be said anyway. ”
This time, they didn't have the disdain of those who were stunned when Xu Chu was performing the autopsy. It became a real gratitude, and a blessing.
If he is really dragged to the yamen this time, or there is a conflict with the local government. That delays the prince's trip is not counted, and maybe it will cause trouble on the side.
After letting the guards retreat, Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qinglang, looked at him and said, "When did Gongzi become a waiter in the Criminal Department again?" ”
When Xiao Qinglang heard this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his eyes, which were still calm just now, were also dyed with a slight smile.
"When you go out, you always have to prepare some useful identities in advance." After speaking, he raised his hand and handed the tea he had just poured to Xu Chu, and said with a deep smile, "It just so happens that a few days ago, the servant of the criminal department sent by the capital was taken away, and the token was temporarily sent to me, so I just borrowed it today." ”
Obviously, this news has not spread yet, or he knows that the local area is far away from the capital, and Fang Xianling has no way of knowing the affairs of the officialdom in the capital, so he fooled that person openly.
It's almost summer, so it doesn't seem cool to have the windows open at this time. The breeze is coming, but it makes people feel a little refreshed.
The night was dark, and it wasn't until Aunt Chu cleaned up a bunch of bottles and cans that she came to find Xu Chu to return to the room.
After returning to the room, Aunt Chu checked her pulse as usual, and only nodded after a while and said, "It seems that the prince is very attentive to helping you regulate your body, and the snacks cooked with medicinal porridge and ginger candy have a really good effect on repelling the cold."
When Xu Chu suddenly heard her say this, people became a little uncomfortable. Since she and Xiao Qinglang have made each other's intentions clear, the idea that they didn't want to make it public now seems to have become superfluous.
First of all, Wei Guang and the other guards suddenly became much more respectful to their attitude. Then there are Mingzhu and Hua Wuxi, who often joke and ridicule a few words. Now, even Aunt Chu, who has been buried in medical books all day long, has mentioned it meaningfully
Could it be that their performance is so obvious?
Thinking of this, her face couldn't help but flush a little, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Childe is good to everyone around him." ”
Aunt Chu wiped her hands, turned around and nodded her forehead, and sneered, "Is that just good for you, for others?"
If he was really so gentle and easy to talk, he would pity the jade. How could he get the name of the jade-faced Yama, which makes people love and hate.
Mo said that he was handsome and dignified. Even if he is ugly and ugly, but he is in a high position and has great power, then the ladies who fall in love with him should not know how to go. But on the contrary, most of the women in the capital are secretly obscene, in fact, if the rumor really spreads that Jing'an Wangfu is going to marry the princess, those ladies are only afraid that one will escape faster than the other.
Why, naturally, because of all kinds of bizarre rumors. Also, the person who has been trained by King Jing'an shows up to prove that he is a cold-hearted and cold-hearted person.
Even if there are a few bold ladies who are obsessed, after the prince personally searched the homes of several derelict generals several times, and then stabbed each other in public. Those ladies didn't dare to show up anymore.
After all, it's one thing to hear rumors. can see with your own eyes that the corners of your clothes are stained with blood, and the scene of the jade-faced prince is like a rakshasa for his life, and few people can bear it.
"The county lord must not have told you this, anyway, at that time, the prince beheaded a wicked official with a knife, and there was a bloody shade in front of the vegetable market at that time, and it never dried up for two days." When Aunt Chu talked about those things, she couldn't help but be excited, but she didn't know whether it was unintentional or intentional. Later, when I participated in the palace banquet, seven or eight daughters who were raised in the boudoir in a row were shocked and fainted to death when they saw the prince. Since then, the prince has rarely attended palace banquets. ”
Xu Chu really heard of these things for the first time. After being on the same road with Xiao Qinglang for several months, she once thought that he had always been a personable person. But I didn't expect that the means were really so shocking to everyone.
But if he thinks about it carefully, if he didn't have this mind and means, how could he be involved in prison at such a young age? You must know that the world's criminal prison affairs are not those who are firm in mind and have extraordinary means who can be deterred.
Thinking of this, Xu Chu suddenly felt a strange sense of pride in his heart. Once she listened to Xiao Qinglang talk about the past, she felt sorry for him, but she felt that his past had too many ups and downs. But now that I think about it, it's really as he said, I'm glad that I had experienced, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have experienced such a righteous heart.
Aunt Chu couldn't help but be a little surprised when she saw that Xu Chu was silent, but she didn't show any frightened expression on her face. She thought for a moment and asked, "Xiao Chu, do you know how many lives the prince has on his hands?" ”
Xu Chu raised his eyes, his eyes were clear, and said, "Then Aunt Chu thinks they should be killed?" ”
Aunt Chu was stunned by her question, obviously not knowing the meaning of her words. However, thinking that most of those people were people who committed the most heinous crimes, she still nodded and said, "Naturally, they should be killed, the people are corrupt, and the people are corrupted, so that people are ruined, and even the victims are helpless, of course they should be killed." ”
When Xu Chu saw her say this, he immediately smiled, "Since you should be killed, why hesitate?" He killed hundreds of wicked people and saved tens of millions of people, I think normal people should applaud. ”
This statement is so fresh that Aunt Chu couldn't help but look at Xu Chu a few more times, and finally sighed and said seriously, "But, do you know that there are as many people in the world who want to kill the prince as there are people who want him to live." ”
In other words, there may be more people who will kill him than those who can save him.
Xu Chu leaned back in the chair, showed a pleasant smile, and said fearlessly, "And the eldest lady is the one who is willing to save him, right?" ”
Just like her, she is willing to accompany him, go through dangers, and support him all the way.
The night was quiet, Xu was accompanied by someone, or there was a conversation before going to bed, but Xu Chu was not troubled by nightmares. There was no trace of a dream, until the sky was bright, and there were intermittent sounds of selling and Zhang Luo outside.
On the second day, Fang Zhuangheng came to the inn early in the morning. This time, he came with a dossier and a confession.
After seeing Xiao Qinglang, he hesitated and asked, "My lord, I don't know Miss Xu who performed the autopsy last night, but she is still here?" ”
Xiao Qinglang glanced at him, and saw that although he was old, when Long Zhong could mention Xu Chu, his eyes inevitably lit up, and he couldn't help frowning and said, "She wants to go back to Beijing with me, Master Fang doesn't have to bother with her." ”
Fang Zhuang Yin saw that he said so bluntly, so he touched his cuffs with some shame and said, "It's the lower official who is abrupt." It's just that several of the servants in this county are old, and most of the young ones are like Zheng Butcher, so I want to ask the adults if they can temporarily lend that girl to this county for a period of time."
If it were in normal times, he would naturally not be like this. No matter how strong Xu Chu's ability is, she is still a woman, and a woman should do what a woman should do.
But now the county is not in charge, and he sent Xu Chu's autopsy sheet to a few old servants early this morning, and several old servants praised it one after another, and even said that this person's ability to perform autopsies was better than theirs.
To be honest, he didn't believe it, at most he only felt that Xu Chu was bold, or he had some opportunity to know some post-mortem skin. However, as several old servants explained, he felt more and more incredible.
After thinking about it for a few hours, I finally wanted to come and inquire while a few people had not left the county.
At this time, there was a noise outside, followed by Aunt Chu's admonition and Xu Chu's low response. Obviously, the two of them also got dressed up and left the room.
Xiao Qinglang's eyes swept over the window, and saw a figure coming slowly, so he looked at Fang Zhuang Heng and said, "This matter has been recorded by the official, and a servant will be dispatched later." It's just that in the future, the autopsy must be detailed, and you, as the chief judge, also need to examine it yourself. ”
Along the way, he saw a lot of post-mortems in various places, and he was also deeply aware of the drawbacks caused by the fact that the officials of the local county government now know little about the autopsy.
Regard the work as lowly, and the work and food are also very meager, and many of the self-righteous people disdain it. Subsequently, some people have been manipulated on the autopsy list for the sake of petty profits, so that people in the world often encounter "mistaken scars, upside down, and so on; If you encounter a serious case, you will be dumbfounded".
This is a real injustice to those who have been wronged.
