Could it be that Fang Cai was dazzled, but Fang Cai's smile was extraordinarily real, she could never be wrong, and where did the two knocking sounds come from?

Bai Hanyan reached out and closed the coffin lid, pulled her lips and chuckled, she never believed in ghosts and gods, there must be a secret here!

Duan Changge sneered at her, but sarcastically mocked her for being timid, but refused to admit it.

Bai Hanyan could only think of another way.

On the second day, Bai Hanyan went to find the old man in Wuxiang County.

Although the man was old, he was also very shrewd, seeing that she had come to ask Lord Cheng about the cause of death, he obviously had bad intentions, sitting on a rocking chair in the courtyard, fanning his fan, and ignoring her with the steaming tea on the desk.

Bai Hanyan raised his eyes to look at his low mud house, the slightly open door, two wooden boxes hanging on the wooden beams, and a few shabby clothes hanging on the clothesline on the side, lowered his eyebrows and pursed his lips and smiled, took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve and put them on the small table, and said with a light smile: "The old man has been working in the county government for a lifetime." ”

The old man snorted disdainfully and closed his eyes and rocked in his chair.

Bai Hanyan said with a smile: "The monthly salary of the servant is not high, and your son is also a servant?" ”

The old man opened his eyes and looked at her suspiciously, and exclaimed, "How do you know?" ”

Bai Hanyan looked at the courtyard of his house with a chuckle, and said: "The clothes drying on the rope in your house are all worn by men, one is tall and one is short, and there is only one kang at home, which means that the old man has lost his wife, only one son, living with his son at night, and there are two autopsy kits hanging on the beams, one new and one old, not the son inherits the father's business, what else will it be?" ”

The old man glanced at her with strange eyes and said, "The little baby is very smart, who are you and what do you want?" ”

Bai Hanyan leaned over the old man: "It's the kid who is abrupt, the kid is a servant of Guiyang Mansion, and he came here to visit relatives, but I heard that the county magistrate has always loved the people, but he suddenly hanged himself, so I wanted to see if there was anyone who needed help." ”

When the old man heard that it was Guiyang Mansion's work, he raised his eyebrows, his expression did not change, but he sneered: "What about Guiyang Mansion's work, the monthly salary is only a star and a half higher than ours, our lord hanged himself, what can I help." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at the old man's temper, flicked his sleeves and said: "Our Guiyang Mansion is going to urgently recruit a puppet recently, and it just so happens that Cheng County Ling died, I wanted to go to this county government to see if there is any eye-catching trickery, since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to stay longer." ”

As soon as the old man heard this, he stood up, grabbed Bai Hanyan, who was about to leave, his face was immediately full of smiles, his tone changed, and he whispered to her: "It turned out to be a noble person from Guiyang Mansion, the little old man has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, my son is a useful person, maybe he can help you a lot, the house is shabby, sit down, sit down." ”

After that, he sat on the rocking chair with Bai Hanyan, raised his hand to pour tea for her, stood aside and said, "The prince just said to go and see the county master hang himself, hey, you don't need to go." ”

"Why?" Bai Hanyan turned his head to look at him.

The old man slapped his thigh and said in a low voice: "I guess the county lord's family will not let him see it anymore, the county lord is indeed hanging, but it's just ......"

The old man paused, sighed and said slowly: "The body of the county lord was called to me after two hours of death, I think his family just asked me to go through the motions, and only let me go to the autopsy, and even my son was not allowed to take a look, so I went to see, there is something wrong with the body of the county lord." ”

"Questions?" Bai Hanyan's eyes lit up slightly, but he smiled without a trace, lowered his head and drank tea: "Hanged himself, but his eyes and mouth are not closed, and there is even incontinence, what can be the problem?" ”

"Corpse spots, corpse spots!!" The old man's eyes widened, and he approached her and said, "If he was hanged, his body would be suspended in the air, and the first place where the corpse spots appeared should be the legs, but when I went to take off my pants to check the legs, the legs were not all on the chest at all, and they were a large piece." ”

Bai Hanyan frowned, when she went to check that night, she did not take off Cheng Xiao's pants, after all, she is a woman, and she is always a little taboo against men.

"At that time, the county lord's family really lost his temper, and the little old man was scared to death." The old man couldn't help but feel palpitations when he thought of the man's face.

"Who's that family?" Bai Hanyan twisted his eyebrows, Cheng Xiao's wife is dead, the child has not yet been born, which family member is there?

"It seems to be his nephew, but it's a powerful one." The old man tilted his head to recall the man's face.

Bai Hanyan didn't think much about it, and hurriedly asked, "Then why does the county master only have corpse spots on his chest?" ”

"I don't know about this, but I feel that there is also a problem with the corpse spots on the county master's chest." When the old man recalled it, he only felt weird and shuddered.

"Oh, what's the problem?" Bai Hanyan took a sip of tea,* asked.

"The corpse spot was already a large patch, I was surprised at the time, and I wanted to touch it with my hands, but the county lord's family didn't let me, so I only let me look at it twice, saying that it was self-hanging, and if it was no problem, let me go first."

"If it is two hours after death, the corpse spot should be removed on the leg first, and it is impossible to appear a large patch on the chest, unless, the county lord has been dead for a long time." Bai Hanyan said lightly.

The old man immediately jumped up, went to cover Bai Hanyan's mouth and said: "Don't you dare to say that, don't you dare to say this, this county lord wrote an official document yesterday, and I really saw it." ”

"What are you doing when you go to the county office?" Bai Hanyan twisted his eyebrows.

"The county lord told me to go."

"What did he tell you to do?"

"Nothing?" The old man looked sad and sighed: "I just asked some basic knowledge about the autopsy, and he thinks that I am old, dizzy, and easy to forget, so I can't do it." ”

After that, he reached out and touched a handful of tears: "My son has only been working for a few days, and I haven't taken him out of the apprenticeship yet, so I can't lose this job." ”

As if sensing that he had leaked his mouth, the old man hurriedly covered his mouth, slapped himself a few mouths and said: "This mouth can really be bad, son, my son is a useful person, you must recommend him to be the puppet of Guiyang Mansion." ”

Bai Hanyan meditated on the words of the old man, and seeing him with such a demeanor, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, I will take him." ”

After that, he raised his legs and left, and the old man cried with joy when he boarded.

Bai Hanyan was in an extremely unstable mood, there were too many mysteries on Cheng Xiao, what secrets were hidden in him?

"Childe, Childe!"

Bai Hanyan was startled to find someone calling her, and when she looked back, she saw the old man trotting all the way, she hurriedly greeted her, and said, "Old man, do you have anything else?" ”

The old man ran out of breath and gasped: "By the way, I also experienced a strange story, I saw that you were more curious about this strange thing, so I told you." ”

Bai Hanyan smiled and said, "Old man, what's the strange news?" But the enforcer of the underworld? ”

The old man immediately glanced behind him in horror, leaned closer to her and whispered, "It's more terrifying than that." ”

"Oh?"

"It was three days ago in the night, I was about to rest, but was woken up by a knock on the door, my son opened the door, but saw a man break in, that person I recognize, it is the prefect Wang Jin's family in the Wang's shop, the prefect went home to sweep his mother's tomb for four months, the little guy came to me and said to me, his old lady, as well as the same brother, brother and sister, all hanged."

"What?" Bai Hanyan's heart was shocked, and he felt a chill down his spine: "Are you sure it was three days ago?" ”

"Yes, I didn't believe it at first, but he dragged me to the autopsy, and he said it in a good way, with a nose and eyes, saying that his master was hanged on the beam, his wife was hanged at the feet of the master, and his younger brother and sister were hanged from the window."

Bai Hanyan's body trembled, but she didn't feel that she took a few steps back, and the old man thought she was afraid, so he laughed and said, "You little baby is not very bold." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at the old man, and tried his best to stabilize his mind and said, "You, have you seen the corpse?" ”

"Nope."

"No?" Bai Hanyan's voice suddenly raised a tone.

The old man nodded and said: "It's true, it's the little guy who is dazzled, when I go, the old man is sitting in the house and cleaning up the softness, and he wants to go back to Guiyang overnight." ”

"You said you saw them?" Bai Hanyan was even more frightened.

"Yes, I saw it, the little guy was also strange, he said that he clearly saw that the old lady was hanged, but at this time he saw the shadow on his window and saw it really."

Bai Hanyan immediately caught the deep meaning of his words: "You said that you saw their shadows on the window, but you haven't seen them in person?" ”

"What's the difference?" The old man looked suspicious: "Could it be that people and shadows can be separated?" ”

Bai Hanyan pursed his lips and was silent, pondered for a moment and then asked, "That little guy said that he saw four people hang themselves to death, not five?" ”

The old man was confused by Bai Hanyan's question, folded his hands and counted them, and said, "It is indeed four, Lord Wang and his wife, and his younger brother and wife, it is indeed four." ”

Bai Hanyan's hands trembled, he couldn't help but tremble, suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked, "That little guy said that it was his wife who died at the feet of Lord Wang, and his younger brothers and sisters who died under the window?" ”

The old man looked at her suspiciously at this time, and said: "I said little baby, why do you ask such a strange question, husband and wife hang themselves in one place, it is difficult to hang themselves separately with other men, and I also said that it is the little guy who is dazzled, dazzled, and the master is not dead at all." ”

After that, looking at her shocked face, she waved her hand and sneered: "What Guiyang Mansion is doing, I think it is obviously sick." ”

With that, he lifted his leg and left.

Bai Hanyan looked at the back of the old man, his heart was terrified, and he couldn't help but tremble.

She didn't believe that the little guy was dazzled, he would rather believe that Wang Jin and the others were killed a day earlier.

She hurriedly ran to the inn to tell Duan Changge all this.

With a bang, she pushed open Duan Changge's door and saw that he had just finished bathing and was wearing only a pair of obscene pants.

Duan Changge stared at her unhappily, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Han Yan, your courage has been getting bigger and bigger these days. ”

Bai Hanyan didn't care much at this time, and hurriedly took his clothes and put them on him, saying while wearing: "Quickly get dressed, let's go to Wang's shop!" ”

"Wangjiapu, Han Yan, how do you think that one is one out?"
