Although it is ridiculous to say, among all the things in the world, only the internal organs of pigs are most similar to people. That night, the leader of the caravan knocked on the door of the tax collector's house, obtained a list of all the pig raisers, pig sellers, and butchers within thirty miles of the surrounding area, and sent a dozen men to check it overnight.

At dawn, the men sent out to inquire about the news returned to the inn one after another. After collecting the news, there was no sign of a large collection of pigs. And within three days, all the butchers around Hanzhong City had only slaughtered twenty pigs, which together was less than half of the dead people in the store.

Since the numbers are not right, it means that it is not like what Ji Jiao said, someone exchanged a pig's heart for a person's heart. Although many people died, as long as it wasn't such a strange thing, the caravan leader's heart would be a little more stable.

After dawn, all the people in the caravan were taken to the inn where the murder occurred by the government's messengers. After waiting for a long time, the Hanzhong county guard rushed over in an official sedan chair. Originally, there was no need for the county guard to run such a murder in person, but he usually ate too much of the Surabaya, and he also knew that the Surabaya raised half of the court (the other half was the queen Jia's family), and it was not a small county guard who could deal with it. Now that all the people in their warehouse have died overnight, if they don't find out, once the two owners of the Surabaya think that he has something strange in them, they can't figure out that the next time there is a place that will not be left behind, it will be his official office.

The county guard's surname is Zhou, and he is a short and fat man in his thirties. After getting off the sedan chair, he was disgusted by the bloody smell of the courtyard. Zhou Junshou took out a silk handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose, frowned, and was surrounded by the officials and entered the warehouse.

Under the explanation of the leader of the errands, Zhou Junshou took a rough turn in the warehouse. The dead people from last night had already been placed in the warehouse, and Lord Zhou did not dare to go in to check it. Then he immediately exited the warehouse, sat down in the pergola that had already been erected, and called all the caravan that had discovered the murder last night. Ask them if they saw anything deliberate last night.

The leader of the caravan and the men who rushed in first last night told the county keeper everything they had seen. After finishing speaking, the staff of the county guard walked to Lord Zhou's side and whispered a few words in the ear of his own adult. After the staff finished speaking, Zhou Junshou snorted and said, "Nonsense! How can something like a corpse sheet be changed when it is said to be changed? What do you eat? Is the timing of the crime also wrong? ”

The staff said with a smiling face: "He deals with dead people every day, and it is inevitable that he will have to drink two more cups at night to strengthen his courage." I may have drunk a few more glasses last night, and I was dazzled by the changes on the corpse. The old man saw that he was usually quite reliable, so he gave this guy another chance. ”

As he spoke, the staff had already put another corpse sheet in front of Zhou Junshou with a smile. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhou was furious when he saw this corpse sheet. "Smack!" slapped the table, pointed to the corpse sheet and said, "You still intercede for him?" See for yourself...... Last night's corpse sheet said that people died for half a day, and now he has changed people to die for more than ten days? Also the internal organs are festering! Tell me, is he talking in human terms? ”

When the staff and Lord Zhou were talking, the leader of the caravan couldn't help but say: "My lord, the corpse list says that people have been dead for more than ten days?" No way! I saw it with my own eyes last night, and the man in the warehouse had just died. The corpse is not decomposed, and it is by no means the appearance of being dead for more than ten days......"

"Presumptuous! I talk to adults, what do you say as a little grass dweller? "In front of so many people, the staff was taught a lesson by the county keeper. His face was interrupted by the caravan leader when his face was ugly, and he immediately threw this breath on the caravan leader.

When the staff wanted to reprimand, they were pulled back by their own master: "What you said, why can't people say it?" The steward of the Surabaya, you say! This official is in charge of you. What did you see last night? 1510 said......"

The leader of the caravan called Ji Jiao over, saying that the monk had already checked four corpses in advance last night. He could see clearly on the side, the internal organs inside were fresh, and they were definitely not festering, and then he let Ji Jiao say it again.

Except for the part where the pig's heart changed people's hearts, the former master of the Heavenly Mansion did not say anything, and the rest was said one by one. However, the staff still did not give up, and after sneering, they said to the beggar-like man who claimed to be a monk: "Before the official arrived, you actually did the corpse privately. Do you want to destroy any evidence? You claim to be a monk, how do you know what happens to a person's internal organs after death? ”

The current landlord didn't seem to be angry anymore, he shook his head lightly, and then said to the staff: "The monk runs the innate qi, and he always knows the changes in the internal organs and qi veins in the body after the qi runs. When I was a child, I followed my teachers to see how the internal organs of the living differed from those of the dead......"

After saying a few words, Ji Jiao turned to Lord Zhou and said, "My lord, please let me go and check the changes in the corpse." See what's different from last night......"

Originally, this was not in accordance with the rules, but Zhou Junshou thought that Ji Jiao was a monk of the Surabaya. They are doing the best job of the autopsy, at least they can get themselves out, and don't rely on themselves if the Surabaya retaliates. When the adult Zhou ignored the staff, he said to Ji Gao: "You can go and investigate this monk, and the official is in charge of you." The head of the squad gives the monk a corpse slip and asks him to fill out a copy as well. ”

With the words of the county guard, no one dares to stop Ji Jiao at the moment. At that moment, the landlord and the caravan leader were taken to the warehouse, where they saw dozens of corpses covered with reed mats. Before he could check that a strong rancid smell had already escaped, the officers and soldiers who led them let the two of them into the warehouse, and then went out alone and vomited.

Find one at random, the corpse is already festering and does not look good. Ignoring the superficial rout, he looked directly at the internal organs inside the wound. Sure enough, as the staff had just said, the internal organs of the abdomen had liquefied. It is impossible to distinguish what is what, let alone the small difference between the human heart and the pig's heart.

Two corpses were inspected in a row, and they were both highly decomposed. Then I found a corpse that I had checked last night, and it was completely different. The wound in the abdomen was opened, and the festering internal organs juice flowed out on its own. After seeing the changes in these corpses, Ji Jiao walked around the warehouse again, and then said to the caravan leader: "Master, we came in here last night, did you see any changes?" ”

"The grass at the gate died overnight...... "The leader of the caravan traveled from south to north, and without this bit of eyesight, he would not be able to sit in his current position. After sighing, he continued to say to Ji Gao: "Is this coming for the Surabaya, or is it for the people in the warehouse?" ”

"Coming to people's hearts......" Ji Jian sighed, and drew a strange rune on the corpse sheet with his finger dipped in corpse water. Then he fastened the corpse sheet to the head of the dead corpse next to him, and almost the moment the corpse sheet touched the dead man, the paper began to decay rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it was covered with green hairs, and then the paper turned yellow and black at an incredible rate. It was just a few breaths, and it turned into a black-brown crumpled piece of paper that looked disgusting.......

After seeing the change in the corpse sheet, Ji Jiao closed his eyes a little tangled. After a pause, the landlord reopened his eyes, took a deep breath, and followed the caravan leader out of the warehouse. No matter what the leader asked him, Ji Jian shook his head and did not answer.

In front of Zhou Junshou, Ji Jiao made an excuse to lose the corpse sheet. It's just that the appearance of the dead body is described with his mouth, which has changed greatly from last night. He said the same as the new corpse list was described. This Lord Zhou doesn't like it very much, as long as you Surabaya people admit the corpse sheet, it's fine.

After talking about the changes in the corpse, Ji Jiao hesitated for a moment and glanced at Qiu Fang's carriage that was still on it. Then he said to Zhou Junshou again: "My lord, there may be something evil in Hanzhong City recently. Please be sure to keep the gates in order after dark, and no one is allowed to enter......"
