Han Yan raised his face and looked at Duan Changge, and his momentum did not fall behind: "I can naturally prove that I have nothing to do with this half of the people, not only that, but I also know who moved these two bodies here?" ”

"Tell me about it." Duan Changge's eyebrows raised slightly, and when he heard Han Yan say this, he was also interested.

Han Yan looked at the half of the person, and his autumn eyes suddenly deepened: "The deceased has calluses on his hands and is muscular, this person must be extraordinary in martial arts, if you want to kill him, it is not easy to kill him, I just saw that his face was pale and not iron-blue, but his lips were slightly purple, which means that this person's poisoning is not deep and not fatal, the murderer just wants to use poison to weaken his strength and kill him." And before the poison he had used in his body was fully attacked, the man died, and it was impossible to find out what the poison was by the words of the half of his body on the ground. ”

"You mean, the location of his poisoning is in the leg?" Duan Changge's eyes turned, and he immediately understood.

"Yes, the injured location is the first to contact the poison, and the poison can be detected according to the change in the color of the skin and flesh, and the silver needle can be sampled, but the murderer took his legs away, indicating that this poison is known to someone in Guiyang Mansion, or, the murderer will have this unique poison, and he is worried that he will be found out."

"So, you mean the killer took the man's leg?" The deputy general of the silver helmet answered, and then his eyes lit up: "Han Tuiguan has been here all along, and he has no time to take away the deceased's legs, so you are not suspicious?" ”

"Not bad." Han Yanqing Ling Feng's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he opened his lips lightly and said, "As for who moved the corpse here......"

Before Han Yan finished speaking, Duan Changge's eyes slowly swiped towards the half of the people, and as soon as he waved his hand, the deputy general next to him immediately understood, picked up the body of the half of the people and jumped into the pit, and sure enough, it was extremely consistent with the scratches on the material official and the woman.

"Could it be that he is a murderer?" The adjutant touched his chin and speculated.

"Not necessarily." Han Yan said lightly: "What you see with your eyes may not be true, everything has to be investigated before you can draw a conclusion." ”

The lieutenant looked at him with admiration in his eyes.

"It is worthy of being my Ming Dynasty's promoter, and he is really smart." Duan Changge's eyebrows smiled faintly, but before the smile reached the bottom of his eyes, he dispersed on his lips: "But Han Tuiguan still hasn't made it clear how you can appear here in the middle of the night?" ”

Han Yan looked at him and curled his lips slightly: "Since my suspicion has been cleared, how I appear here is not so important, is it?" ”

Han Yan's ambiguous answer made Duan Changge's eyes sink, and he stared at him for a while, and a touch of anger burst from his jade-like eyes, which couldn't help but make Han Yan's heart skip a beat.

But Han Yan's temperament is like this, his mood is invisible, the more afraid he is, the calmer his face is, just like now he is looking directly into Duan Changge's eyes, with a shallow smile on his face.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Duan Changge also lowered his eyes and laughed lowly, his gaze slid over his face, and he raised his arm and turned around to leave.

Han Yan lowered his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but a low voice came from his ear: "What a little pusher, this official remembers you." ”

On the way back, Han Yan was a little apprehensive in his heart, and it must not be a good thing to be remembered by the Dragon and Tiger General.

As for Qiao Chu, Han Yan was a little confused, what was he thinking?

When he returned to Guiyang Mansion, it was already dawn, and he went directly to the Yamen of Guiyang Prefect, and he was received by Li Chengdu, a fellow governor of Guiyang.

Li Chengdu was in his early twenties, but he was arrogant, took the letter of appointment from Han Yan's hand with one hand, raised his head and glanced at him from the corner of his eye, but secretly thought about a young and handsome magistrate.

"Xiaguan Guiyang is the same as Zhi, see Han Tuiguan." When he lowered his body, it was considered a salute.

Han Yan was not annoyed when he looked at his faux pas, and said with a smile: "Master Li, why should I be polite, I am only a product older than you, everyone is a colleague, and Han Yan has to rely on you when he first arrives." ”

Li Chengdu withdrew his hand, looked at Han Yan's easy-going and humble tone, and was also a soft persimmon, and pulled his lips and smiled: "It's not the right time for Lord Han to come, Lord Han returned to his hometown to sweep his mother's grave, I'm afraid it will be some time before I can come back." ”

Han Yan frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "It's okay, then I'll visit later." After a pause, he pondered for a moment and said: "Since Han got off the bus in Guiyang Mansion, he has only seen bloody eyes, dogs barking and chickens, thinking that he will be busy with official business in the Yanei, and he just wants to take up his new role as soon as possible." “

Li Chengdu frowned without a trace, thinking that this young magistrate was so bold that he dared to speak so disrespectfully, and after thinking about it, he laughed sarcastically, but he was a young and vigorous person, and he was honing.

Thinking so, Li Chengdu said lightly: "Okay, then Lord Han will go to the mansion with me, and I will be able to take up my new post in the near future." ”

"Thank you, Master Lee." Han Yan leaned over slightly and said respectfully.

After coming out of the mansion, the sun had already risen overhead, Han Yan took the tooth card and put his fingers in his palm, squinted his eyes slightly, seemed to have figured out a lot of things, hung it on his waist, turned his head and smiled at Li Chengdu: "Lord Li, please, Han still has something to do." ”

After that, he turned around and left, Li Chengdu watched his footsteps hurriedly leave the gate of the prefect's mansion, and couldn't help but wonder what important things would happen to him when he first came to the place where he was unfamiliar, so he raised his legs and followed out, but saw Han Yan walking in the direction of the prison.

Li Chengdu raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the quiet prefect's compound, and the corners of his mouth hooked a trace of mockery, so showy, it seems that this prefect's yamen will not stop in the future.

Han Yan came to the prison again, there was still a dead air inside, the head of the cell in charge was holding his head in the forbidden room and was looking at the "Tiger Head Prison" on the door blankly, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Han Yan's slightly smiling eyebrows, his heart became more and more disturbed, and he waved his hand and scolded: "Go and go, is the cell a place where you often come?" ”

Han Yan took two steps forward, got closer to the cell head, stared at him and curled his lips: "Who said I can't come to the cell often?" ”

The cell leader was furious at this time, seeing that Han Yan was so ignorant, he lifted the knife on his waist and shouted: "You guy! ”

It's just that before he finished speaking, he saw the tooth tag hanging on Han Yan's waist, on which the words "Han Yan, Guiyang Mansion Governor" were neatly written, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Why is the cell boss so angry early in the morning, could it be that something big happened in the prison?" Han Yan looked at him, a smile streaming from the corner of his lips.

The cell leader turned pale under Han Yan's gaze, like a needle, and he was so overwhelmed that he knelt on the ground all of a sudden.

"Han Tuiguan spared his life, and the little official didn't know why, but he just felt that he had seen a ghost, and Qiao Chu somehow disappeared in a cup of tea."

"A cup of tea?" Han Yan suddenly frowned: "How do you remember the hour so clearly?" ”

The cell leader's body trembled more and more, his face turned red, and suddenly turned pale.

"Little official, little official......"

The cell boss couldn't say a complete word, but Han Yan's heart was clear: "He gave you benefits." ”

The cell boss lay his head on the ground, and his fingertips trembled indistinctly: "The adult spares his life, the little official was confused for a while, he just asked me for another spoon, I thought about it, and it was nothing, so I promised him." ”

"Again?" Han Yan's pupils shrank, and he raised his legs and walked towards the cell and said, "Go and see." ”

Han Yan remembered that when he came yesterday, the cell head also opened these two doors, and today he saw the door: "These two doors, one is open to the left and the other is to the right, if the prisoner escapes without knowing the inside, he often goes out of the first door, but he can't open the second door, and it is easy to lock himself inside." ”

The cell boss nodded behind him: "My lord is really careful, the key to the prison door is only in my hands, and Qiao Chu never walked out of the door." ”

Han Yan didn't speak, the two came to the door of Qiao Chu's prison, there were three people guarding the door, and when they saw Han Yan, they all looked panicked, Han Yan waved his hand and said, "Open the prison door, I want to check." ”

"Hurry up, listen to Lord Han." The cell boss kicked the jailer in a hurry.

The jailer didn't dare to slack off, and immediately opened the cell door, Han Yan walked in with his legs raised, there were no windows in this cell, and the walls were thick and solid, Qiao Chu had an official position, so he was locked in the innermost prison alone, but how did this Qiao Chu leave?

"How did you find out he had escaped from prison?" Han Yan turned his head to look at the cell boss and asked.

The cell head swallowed his saliva, his face turned red, and he didn't know how to speak, but he caught a glimpse of Han Yan's face sinking, and immediately knelt on the ground in horror: "It's all to blame for the greed of the little official, and after going back, I couldn't help but secretly look at the silver wrapped in the handkerchief, but I didn't expect that there were only two copper coins there, and the rest was all mud. ”

"That spoon ......," Han Yan squinted and pondered.

"Yes, I'm also curious, what did he ask me for a spoon, if he wanted to escape from prison, he would have escaped, if I had found out earlier that the silver was fake, he might not have been able to escape." The cell boss was also puzzled.

"Does he often ask you for a spoon?" Han Yan asked suddenly.

"It's strange to say, this Qiao Chu doesn't use chopsticks to eat, he likes to use spoons, and he often uses them."

Han Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and the bottom of his eyes also shot out of his eyes: "Is he on the ground every time he eats?" ”

"Yes, yes, not only that, but he usually lies on the ground, maybe he dislikes it, after all, it's just a rag on a pile of hay."

"I know how he got out." While speaking, Han Yan was already lying next to the hay and staring at the bed for a moment, in this dim light, his eyes could see very clearly, but in an instant, he twisted his eyebrows and said, "No, but how are things shipped out?" ”

The cell boss behind him looked at Han Yan and seemed to be talking to himself, and he was a little confused for a while, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Han Yan turning his head and looking straight at him, the cell boss looked frightened, and heard him ask himself: "Qiao Chu usually mines in the mountains with the prisoners?" ”

"Yes, that's how Lord Han knows?"

"That's right." Han Yan stood up and asked, "Is there anyone who has been released from prison today?" ”

"Yes, there is a man in the ordinary cell who has committed theft, and he is released from prison today." The cell boss had some admiration for Han Yan, and he didn't know the prophet, could it really be the tiger head prison grandpa who appeared and came to help him.

"He didn't leave at all, it was Qiao Chu who walked."

"How is that possible?" The cell boss looked suspicious.

"There are a lot of prisoners in ordinary cells, you can't see one more, they are all wearing the same prison uniforms, and they are not human in the prison, you can't tell who walked out of the cell door, not to mention that it is in the stall where the prisoner is lost, you naturally put your mind on Qiao Chu's escape, where do you still care about a thief."

"But, but." The cell boss was still incredulous: "How did he get to an ordinary cell?" ”
