Chapter 63: Returning from a Snowy Night (6)

Although Li Zheng patted his chest and said that several people were in a hurry, according to him, the man at the head of the man, as soon as he entered the room, his style and eyes directly shocked the person and took a step back. Looking at what he was wearing, although he couldn't tell anything expensive, he still saw that it was a style that only existed in the capital.

People are extravagant, and their appearance is the best, even if they are accompanied by a nursing home, it is not simple to be afraid of their origins.

And the woman who came in immediately did not have the delicate desire and squeamishness that a woman should have. But he has seen a lot of yamen pretentiousness, and most of them are groveling, so he thinks that she looks so indifferent and doesn't care about being a county official?

So, in an instant, he brushed aside Li Zheng's accusationous voice, and asked in a rare smart way: "Childe doesn't look like a wicked person, I don't know where this trip is going?" How can you rest in this ruined village? ”

Today, Xiao Qinglang's clothes were changed to azure Luo shirts, and a smock was added to the outside, and a pair of green bamboo and green leaves embroidered on it could be faintly seen. He approached slowly, looking more and more handsome and noble.

Xu Chu's face was indifferent, she was not good at playing official, not to mention that Xiao Qinglang was here, so she naturally didn't have to worry about some things. Her only purpose is to conduct an autopsy and investigate the case, arrest the murderer as soon as possible, and avenge the deceased.

Thinking like this, she was suddenly stunned for a moment.

Since when did she trust this proud son of heaven so much? In the past, when I conducted an autopsy and investigated the case, even if I would not falsify, I would judge the situation many times. Even the murder cases caused by the struggle in the back house of many rich and noble families, she never dared to accept it easily, for fear of causing trouble.

After all, the reward of the rich and noble is easy to earn but not to spend. If you're not careful, I'm afraid you'll get burned.

But since the case of the young lady of the Qian family in Cangyan County, she hasn't worried so much for a long time. That feeling made her feel calm and relaxed......

"The capital went to Jinzhou, and the ancestors of the family had a book club business, so they had a lot of assets." Xiao Qinglang tightened his delicate sleeves and said coldly, "There is an inspector who is proficient in the work of the ancestors, and the deceased is my guard, so I have to temporarily stay to investigate the case, so as not to let him die unjustly." ”

When his words fell, Huang Dashan's heart was already tight. Although his tone was simple and his speech was mostly casual, he instantly sniffed out the difference in Huang Dashan's ears.

He has always been a lowly member, and even if he is fortunate enough to be an official of the Three Law Divisions, it is difficult to avoid this matter. But if he can really become the inspector of the Sanfa Division, then he is also an official of the Sanpin Imperial Court, and if he really cares, he has to salute.

What's more, if you are a Beijing official, you must have seen a lot of dignitaries, can a person from such a background be rich or not?

Seeing that there was still a fire going to be set up there, he hurriedly attached himself to Huang Dashan and muttered a few words. Then, Huang Dashan, who already had a thought, instantly became more and more respectful.

Even if there is no servility, it is still flattering.

Xiao Qinglang nodded and said no more, but a pair of sharp eyes swept over the few old men who were following him. made the faces of those people change color, and they didn't dare to shout about the murderer anymore, and when they saw Xiao Qinglang looking over, they looked away from their eyes in an extremely unnatural way.

"Did the boy find out?" Huang Dashan and Huang County made the mind turn very quickly, if a murder occurred left and right, the yamen really did not have the available manpower to solve the case. Even if it's a pretend, it's just that I'm used to seeing the corpses of chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, how can I really have the ability to perform autopsies.

Xiao Qinglang glanced at Xu Chu, and then Xu Chu answered: "The autopsy form has been filled out, if the adult needs it, just take it." In addition, this case is quite strange, and it will take time to solve it. ”

"If you believe the people's daughter, then the people's girl and my son-in-law will help you solve the case first and then hurry, what does Huang Xianling think?"

Originally, when he heard Li Zheng and a few people describe the tragic condition of the corpse, he was already worried. Later, when he saw several people who were recognized as murderers in the village, he felt even more ridiculous, and he couldn't make up his mind what to do for a while.

Now that Xu Chu has spoken, isn't it just a big problem?

Since these people are not officials, they will definitely not be able to steal his credit. What's more, under the push of the boat, maybe you can catch the favor of a playboy. Although the playboy is not an official in the court, he can't stand the fact that people have a father who is a prime minister.

Immediately, he responded again and again, got up and suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said, "Then it's tiring." The conditions of the villages here are simple and shabby, why don't you move to the county to rest? ”

Xu Chu glanced at Xiao Qinglang, only to see that he looked at the codex he handed over and did not mean to speak, so he bowed his head slightly and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, just to facilitate the investigation of the case, we will not go to the county office." ”

Then there was a thousand thanks, in order to show that he loves the people like a son, and in order to be able to tie up with the nobles in the capital, Huang Xian Ling also decided to stay overnight with a wave of his hand.

In fact, he was also afraid, a homicide, who knows if the murderer will commit the crime. So, even though he took the initiative to stay, he still ordered the servants to follow him every step of the way, and even arranged his sleep very properly.

In contrast, Xiao Qinglang's side is much more casual. Even if there are guards guarding the door, most of them are to prevent people from listening to the corners of the wall and affecting the analysis of the case.

The two sat across from each other on the shabby table, listening to the faint sound of thunderbolts and sparks splashing from the charcoal basin. Outside the house was quiet and peaceful, but in the darkness there was no idea what sin was hidden.

"You've spent a lot of time in the village today, what have you noticed?"

Due to the arrangement of the county order, the He family prepared wine and food and went to the neighbor's house to rest temporarily. The vacated room was naturally for Huang Xian to use for a few people. However, he also realized that after eating, seeing that Xiao Qinglang did not have any intention of staying, he beckoned the official to the main house to rest.

Therefore, at present, in the wing room, only Xu Chu, Xiao Qinglang and Wei Guang are left. Not counting the guards hidden in the shadows above the rooftops, of course.

"There are about 40 families in the village, and every house is not small. Where the sky is fed, there is not a single thatched house in the small village, and most of the houses are on the beams. Xu Chu took a sip of hot tea, squinted his eyes comfortably, and continued, "And our group has walked many places, and we often see old and frail uncles and women and children, but we haven't met a few middle-aged laborers and too many children. ”

Occasionally, it's just the ones I meet when I get up in the morning. However, even so, it is extremely abnormal for a village.

If it is said that all the students in the prime of life have gone out to work, what about the children? It is necessary to know that in today's era, the population is the labor force, especially in the farmyards, and it is a blessing to add to the population. Not like in the previous life, there are very few children in every family.

When you look at a village, the first thing you have to do is see the children running and jumping on the streets......

Xiao Qinglang nodded, and when he saw that the hot tea in Xu Chu's hand was about to run out, he pushed the sour jujube cake in front of him without moving. Then he got up, calmly took the teapot and added it for her, and then frowned and said, "I have asked Wei Yan to bring a secret guard to investigate, this time the travel is limited, and he can't control the situation in the whole village." ”

The warm hot tea into the cup, coupled with the sweet and sour dim sum in front of him, made Xu Chu's stomach gurgle. It's not that she likes to eat, it's really at the dinner table before, Huang Xianling only cares about currying favor with Xiao Qinglang, so that no one at the table has an appetite.

She was hungry left and right, and she was not pretentious, so she reached out and picked up a piece and tasted it slowly.

With the Huang County Order, a few people will naturally not be reluctant to use oil lamps like the night before. At this time, under the dim candle fire in the room, Xiao Qinglang inadvertently swept Xu Chu's slightly moist lips, as well as the tip of his pink tongue slightly exposed by rolling the dim sum, and inexplicably knocked on the tabletop, his eyes were condensed for a moment, and even his eyes suddenly darkened.

"You rest first, and the rest will be talked about tomorrow." Xiao Qinglang got up, and the shadow shrouded Xu Chu's body, but it was not abrupt.

Xu Chu didn't think about it, nodded subconsciously, put down the tea and snacks in his hand, took the candle flame on the table and lit the headlamp that Wei Guang specially took off from the carriage, sent the person to the door and said: "Li Zheng and the others deliberately conceal what they know, if it is not to cover up, it is fear." ”

"It is not a simple matter to make all the governors in the village afraid, and then hide and lie to them all."

This is the biggest gain of the two of them today, maybe the death of the sixth son is just because he found something, and then he was left alone. Then, there must be hidden secrets at the scene of the murder.

Pushing open the wooden door, he saw that the cold wind mixed with the biting cold was coming, and the candle flame in Xu Chu's hand was swaying.

"Go back, I'll have people around the room at night."

In the shadows reflected by the halo, Xu Chu watched the man disappear into the opposite wing, and then slowly suppressed the throbbing in his heart, closed the door and lay down to rest.

In the quiet night, only the cold wind from the mountain pass was howling, and everything was lonely, which made Xu Chu a little tired. Maybe the environment was too quiet, or she was already used to the atmosphere and life of the village, so as soon as she touched the pillow, she fell asleep deeply.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, she heard the faint sound of people walking outside. Then Xiao Qinglang's deep inquiry voice came from the crack in the window. She opened her eyes in confusion, and turned slightly sideways to see a glimmer of light shining through the window paper, and the tall and straight figure.

In the haze, she woke up instantly, and she didn't wonder why she could still sleep soundly when she was handling the case, so she hurriedly dressed and opened the door and went out.

"Another homicide?"

"Yes, the corpse is still at the entrance of the village, and the flesh and blood are blurred. Just now, Huang County Ling had already brought people to block the scene, and Wei Guang also went over to guard it. Xiao Qinglang's eyebrows were full of coldness, and his usually gentle eyes also brought some gloom. He sneered, "It's really addictive." ”
