The wind outside the window destroys the leaves, the clouds are cloudy and rainy, the candles in the window are bright, and a tiger skin fat cat sneaks in the corner, swinging all over the body, shaking off the wetness.

The household department sent someone to bring charcoal, and the scribe was making the brazier early in the morning, and after an hour, the house was already very warm.

Shun Yu sat around the table to transcribe the case file, the early years of the case file mostly with north paper, its lines are horizontal, the quality is loose and thick, not subject to ink, dipped in pine smoke ink, the ink color is blue, the words of the book are originally light, and over the years Hua Zhao washed, some handwriting is blurred and missing, you need to read through the whole article, up and down comparison, before you can interpret.

Nowadays, the southern paper with vertical and tight lines is dipped in pine ink, and the ink is blue and purple, and the pen needs to be fast, otherwise the whole article is scorched and black, and it is difficult to enter the eyes.

Listening to the scribe talk about the past supervisors, he thought it was boring and trivial, and complained frequently, while Shun Yu was the opposite, many cases were strange and strange, and the punishment was fair and clear, and he was full of interest to read, and he did not think it was bitter.

She put down her pen, picked up the cup to eat tea, and glanced at the cabinets around her, all the case files here are registered and numbered in the order of year and month, and the storage department will be concentrated here within two years, and the three years will be handed over to the Jinyaomen General Treasury for storage.

Shun Yu was a little disappointed, it has been more than six years since Tianfu was full of beheadings, and the case file is probably no longer here.

Suddenly, the curtain of the door sounded, and Wan Sheng led a person in, it was Su Qiming, the right secretary, who came to retrieve the file of an unsolved murder case three years ago.

Su Qiming saw Shun Yu, came over to greet him with a smile, and complained that Zhang Baixian and Su Mo were dull and their brains were not as bright as hers.

Shun Yu pursed his lips and smiled, got up and poured him boiling tea, and said: "How can the old case from three years ago be here, adults should go to the general treasury to ask for it!" ”

Su Qiming Wansheng pouted, and said: "All the big cases within ten years are all in his possession." ”

Shun Yu saw Wansheng's robe, took a key from his waist, walked to a stuffy cupboard, and opened the copper ingots lock ........

"The big case in the mouth of the big people must be full of beheadings or officials greedy for ink, etc., how can a mere murder case be regarded as a big case." Shun Yu asked very casually, but his heart was inexplicably abrupt.

Su Qiming took a sip of tea and deliberately sold Guanzi: "This case involves the queen's distant relatives, so it is inconvenient to tell you in detail." ”

Wansheng wrapped the case file tightly with oiled paper, put it in a document box, and took the file list.

Su Qiming put down the bowl, took out the chapter from the sleeve cage and pressed the seal, at this time, he heard the chaotic footsteps outside, and the secretary Wang Tong hurriedly ran in, stepped on the tail of the fat cat, heard a mournful roar, and rushed out of the curtain.

Wang Tong stepped forward and grabbed Su Qiming and left, and said, "Lord Yang is anxious to order you to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with him, but you can find me well, but you are gossiping here." “

Su Qiming withdrew his hand, burst into his forehead, and said unhappily: "Which dog of yours sees me idle?" Here let me take the file, immediately send it to the Yamen of Taiping County, ten miles away, and open the hall tomorrow, and let me go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate over there, and let people live? “

Then he said to the king: "You send the file for me." “

Wang Tong hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "I still have other errands to do, you let Lord Yang assign someone to go for you." “

Su Qiming picked up the document box and beat him: "You are a nine-grade official, you can't kill you if you are busy." About the sesame mung bean, you asked me to ask Lord Yang, but you want to see me laugh, and your heart is very bad! “

Wang Tong was beaten and said, "Let's go!" Cease! Cease! If I say it casually, you will be suspicious, and you will be less close to you in the future, the words have been brought, and you can do it yourself. So saying, he lifted the curtain and walked away.

Su Qiming panted and looked at Wansheng.

Wan Sheng was a little embarrassed, thought about it and said with a smile: "My lord knows that I am not allowed to walk around, but I can assign a scribe to send it for you." “

Su Qiming hesitated for a moment, this matter is not big, but it is not small, in case something goes wrong, it is also amazing.

swept all the scribes, and before they met their eyes, their eyes fell on Shunyu's body, and then they made up their minds and said, "Let Feng Shunyu go." “

...................................

Shun Yu rode a carriage to Taiping County, ten miles away.

Out of the city gate, but see an official road stretching forward, the left and right sides of the sparse pine trees, the branches are bare and leafless, occasionally see the nest discarded by the birds, the gray sky, the thick clouds and the oppressive flow, full of bleak and cool scenes.

A gust of wind swept up the sedan curtain, and the dampness and coldness on the face made Shun Yu shiver.

There is a long bridge with a high arch in front of it, made of bluestone slabs, and you can see that the top is covered with green moss marks, Shun Yu felt that the car was driving a little fast, and poked his head out and called the coachman loudly to ask him to slow down.

The coachman wore a big hat on his head and a thick coat, and he did not know whether he had heard that he had gone wrong, or if he was anxious to see the sky, but he threw a whip at the horse's back, and the horse was in pain, and galloped with his hooves raised.

Shun Yu only felt that the ground was moving and shaking, and he grabbed the edge of the car and didn't let go, so he didn't get out of the car by the bumps.

When I got off the bridge in a thrilling way, I had to put down my heart that was in my throat, and I suddenly heard a "click", which was deafening.

Shun Yu was stunned, a little overwhelmed, took a breath to calm himself down, simply put the document box into his arms, held up the green cloth oil umbrella, and cautiously jumped out of the carriage.

The coachman was bending down to inspect the wheel, and Shun Yu also looked at it, and his heart was instantly cold, he must have rushed down the bridge too violently, and ran over some sharp objects, and the beam of the wheel broke in two, and fell to the side, which was no longer feasible.

Shun Yu looked back and forth at the official road, and never saw a carriage and horse rubbing shoulders for a long time, such bad weather, if it wasn't for an emergency, who would want to come out to find guilt.

The coachman was also at a loss, thinking about walking up to her, and proposed: "Not far ahead is Tianning Temple, the master might as well go to find the monks there to rescue, I will wait here." “

Shun Yu thought for a while, raised his eyes and saw the sky, it was dark and gloomy, the bean raindrops kept falling, and there was no other way, so he had to simply tell the coachman a few words, and went towards Tianning Temple alone.

Tianning Temple is a century-old ancient temple, famous for the relics in the temple tower, and the incense is very prosperous.

Shun Yu walked up along the slippery stone steps, the clothes were soaking through a large piece, and the feet were getting colder and colder, and finally saw the tall ancient acacia two trees in front of him, among which the mountain gate was clamped, and the book "built Tianning Temple" was written in several big characters.

In his heart, he secretly felt suspicious, even if the weather was bad, there was not a single pilgrim, not even the monks.

Gritting his teeth and finally in front of the mountain gate, Shun Yu couldn't care about much, he tried his best to push the closed red door, listened to the simple and hoarse sound of "Ka Squeak", an octagonal relics pagoda appeared in front of him, the lights offered inside were like flying fireflies, reflecting the double dragon coiled on the tower, more and more powerful and solemn.

Suddenly, a tall guard rushed out of nowhere, his palm clenched the hilt of the knife, frowned at her, and shouted: "There are distinguished guests here in Tianning Temple today, it is forbidden to wait for idle miscellaneous people to enter, you go back quickly!" ”
