CHAPTER XLV

"In addition, twenty years ago, the murderer was involved in disembowelment. This clue can be checked in many nearby pharmacies and medical centers in the past year, compared to when a large number of medicinal materials for hemostasis, anti-inflammatory and childbirth were sold, but there was no record of seeking medical treatment. ”

In just one inquest, not only did he save three women who had not been killed, but he even speculated about the murderer's motive for committing the murder, and even guessed his approximate identity.

"Wei Guang, order. In addition, let people find the picture and file of the bandits who escaped in the Liulin Village extermination case some time ago. After listening to Xu Chu's analysis, Xiao Qinglang directly ordered in a deep voice. And Wei Guang, who had just stood still and was confused, didn't dare to question it, turned around and went to run errands again.

After solving the autopsy work under the osmanthus tree in the dark room and the inn, Xu Chu asked people to pack a few hollow skulls and transport them back to the yamen together. Then, she asked people to prepare plaster and other items to be used when they returned.

When Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang looked at each other again, the night would end. Tired all night, Xu Chu was already tired, only Xiao Qinglang was still handsome and seemed to be treated favorably by God.

"This king has asked people to prepare a carriage, you can rest temporarily, and this king will accompany you back to the village later." Xiao Qinglang leaned forward slightly, saw Xu Chu stumbling under his feet, and hurriedly helped him without a trace.

Xu Chu looked up suddenly, but saw Xiao Qinglang chuckling lightly. Under the candlelight, the dark room was silent, and she jumped over Xiao Qinglang's broad shoulders and saw that the slender shadow on the wall was gradually elongated.

Xiao Mingzhu, who has always been soft-handed, also recovered her energy a little at this time, not to mention that when she heard Xu Chu's god-like speculation, her eyes had already lit up. As for the covered bones, they didn't seem so terrifying.

"Sister Xu is going home? I'm going too, I want to see how Sister Xu grew up, and she is so good at pushing cases. Xiao Mingzhu didn't know about Xu Chu's father, so she naturally didn't know the inside story, she just thought she was just going home, so she naturally waved her hand excitedly and said that she wanted to participate. There are also women who can perform autopsies, even in the mouths of storytellers in the capital, I have never heard of them......"

"County Lord......"

"Call me Mingzhu, the county lord and the county lord are so rusty." Xiao Mingzhu kept protesting.

"Okay, Mingzhu, I'll go back this time for more than one day, or as little as five or six hours, just to go back and see if my father at home goes back. You've spent the whole day and all night trying to do the autopsy, so why don't you go back to the city and rest first. ”

"Sister Xu, didn't you also stay up all night?"

Xu Chu saw that she shouldn't make her own proposal, so she couldn't help but look at Xiao Qinglang, with a plea in her eyes. However, Xiao Qinglang did not speak, as if he was indifferent.

In fact, when Xu Chu opened his mouth, he knew that those words to Xiao Mingzhu may not be for himself. After all, he had just been assassinated, and he had guards with him, if he really accompanied her home with great fanfare, not to mention what impact it would cause, I was afraid that I would have to delay the journey, or be in danger again.

And how could he let Xu Chu leave alone? In case of escaping bandits, how should she, a woman, deal with it?

Xu Chu glanced at the two of them helplessly, and saw that one of them was standing with his hands in his hands and waiting for her to speak, but the other was dancing with his eyebrows, and he knew in his heart that if he didn't go down, he was afraid that he would have to be entangled for a while.

The moonlight was soft, and the four fields were silent, except for the sound of the carriage, it was the sound of Wei Guang who was driving from time to time. Horses gallop in the night, like clouds and shooting stars. Leaving the hustle and bustle of the state city, leaving aside the weirdness and madness of the Furong Inn, all that is left is loneliness and Xu Chu's heart.

After all, Xiao Mingzhu is a golden branch and jade leaf, and it is not easy to endure being close to the corpse and Xu Chu without caring about those strange tastes. Last night, because of Xu Chu's evil deeds, she was uneasy for fear that Xu Chu would make a mistake, and later accompanied Xu Chu to conduct an autopsy, and now she has left that gloomy place, she is almost not in a drop of water and extremely sleepy.

So she obviously wanted to talk to Xu Chu strongly, and wanted to ask Xu Chu who she had learned so many things from, and then how she could see the clues in the previous Five Elements murder case. However, after asking, before Xu Chu could answer, she leaned over and fell asleep directly on the desk used to process official documents in Xiao Qinglang's carriage.

"Sister Xu...... Ghost Fire ......" she muttered, and then there was no sound in and off.

And Xiao Qinglang, who was holding the file in his hand, and Xu Chu, who was pursing his lips and thinking deeply, couldn't help but look at each other, and then smiled.

Xu Chu saw that she was not sleeping peacefully, so he took off the cloak he had just received from Xiao Qinglang and covered her, and then leaned against the wall of the carriage and let go of his eyes as the carriage galloped.

There was a night wind blowing up the car curtain, and through the curtain, Xu Chu saw a full moon, and under the shadow of the moon, people could vaguely see the road ahead. In the haze, she remembered the nightmare that made her panic again, like an omen, which made her feel more and more restless.

Inside the carriage, the candlelight swayed gently with the breeze, and the sparse light shrouded Xu Chu, who was leaning against the wall of the carriage and gradually falling asleep. Quietly, only the sound of the wind and the grinding of clothes.

The file in Xiao Qinglang's hand was placed on his lap at some point, and in the silence, he looked at the woman who frowned even when she was asleep.

If she hadn't seen her autopsy skills with her own eyes, she would not have believed that there would be such a bold and careful person in the world. is obviously a woman, but what she does is beyond the reach of many seven-foot children.

is like a pearl, Rao is he cherishes this niece, and is even willing to create convenience for her to access the prison. But she also knew that she was probably just going to be able to join in the fun. Sometimes, many things are not just like and be curious, whether it is an autopsy or a case, in addition to the diamond-like heart and quality, but also have excellent skills.

Suddenly, the carriage bumped a few times, and seeing that Xu Chu, who was sleeping unsteadily against the wall of the carriage, his head drooped, Xiao Qinglang hurriedly propped his body forward and put his arm on her side. Sure enough, she just moved her brow and didn't wake up.

The specially renovated carriages and horses of the Jing'an Palace, plus two rare sweat and blood horses, but in two hours, the group walked to the village.

The dawn is approaching, and the dawn is about to break. The sound of roosters and dogs barking sounded one after another, and then many people were seen pushing open the creaking wooden doors, shouting and getting busy.

Late autumn is the happiest season for the farmers in the farmyard. After being busy for more than half a year, I am looking forward to a bumper harvest at this time. Therefore, early in the morning, groups of men and women went out to the fields together.

It's just that when many people pass by the Xu family, they will speed up their pace with bad luck. Mo said that he was surprised by the Xu family's sudden luxurious carriage, but he didn't even look at it with disdain.

The hurried people fled in front of Xu's house, and although a few enthusiastic women craned their necks to explore a few times, they could not resist the persuasion of others who said that the dead family could have something good.

Xiao Qinglang squinted and pretended to sleep, but from time to time he would also glance outside, and the expressions of those villagers were naturally in full view. When he came before, it was already night, so he didn't personally experience the rejection of the Xu family by the people in the village. But now......

As a lowly member, Da Zhou has been dealing with the dead and injured for many years, and is regarded as ominous. But what if it didn't?

Prison affairs are more important than the big opening, the great opening is not more important than the first love, and the first love is not more important than the test. Cover the power of life and death, and the opportunity to bend and stretch, so it is decided. Inexplicably, Xiao Qinglang remembered what the ancients Song Ci said in Xu Chu's mouth that day, but her expression was indifferent at that time, but her voice was loud.

Thinking about it now, he was still shocked.

Even if she said this through the mouth of the ancients, it was enough to beat many court officials who could only fight or prevaricate.

Xiao Qinglang lowered his eyes, looked at Xu Chu, who was leaning on him, and moved slightly, as if he had the intention of waking up, so he reluctantly leaned the person against the wall of the carriage, and then got up and stepped out of the carriage.

There are some things, even if he can't figure it out, but it doesn't prevent him from taking it to heart. It's like, before you think it clearly, you must not let Xu Chu be frightened and escape......

When Xu Chu opened his eyes, it was already early in the morning. She sat up straight in a daze, the pure black cloak on her shoulders slowly sliding down. She looked at the slender figure outside the car with a pause, and pursed her lips.

The morning light fell from the east and hit Xiao Qinglang, but it dazzled Xu Chu's eyes.

She could tell that this cloak was not the one she had put on Mingzhu last night.

It's just that no matter how entangled she was in her heart, Xiao Mingzhu's chatter came from outside, a curious and crisp voice, as if she was greeting someone.

"Hey, third uncle, those people are all dodging, as if we are some kind of wicked people." Xiao Mingzhu never thought about what he represented in the village. It was a person who had no land, and his status was not as good as any of the good beings in the village, and he was even more disliked by the village.

Xiao Qinglang's eyes were dark for a moment, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Probably because there are few outsiders in the village." After a pause, he added, "One day, they will get acquainted." ”

His words fell, and his eyes turned to Xu Chu, who was about to get out of the car. One day, he will no longer be a lowly member, but will become the same existence as all the yamen dukes.

Xu Chu's feet froze, and he immediately chuckled, but he didn't know what he was laughing at.

The fallen leaves in the yard had been covered with a thick layer of dust, and a few rains had washed away the thatch on the roof, so that many things were soaked by the rain. And on the stove, it was still the scene when she left, and even the herbs that had not had time to be put away withered on the board as they were......

"There is news from Jinzhou, and I have never seen Xu Qizuo appear." Xiao Qinglang walked to Xu Chu's side and said in a low voice. "I've had people continue to search for it."

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xu Chu lowered his eyes, as if he hadn't noticed the change in Xiao Qinglang's title. It made Xiao Qinglang quite distressed.
