Chapter 27: The Unknown Male Corpse (2)
Di Renjie listened to the little old man's mixed call to his house to watch the master, so he couldn't hang out loud, and he didn't ask much about the crooked name that he thought was weird.
The rain continued to fall outside, hitting the courtyard like steel balls, making a crackling sound, and at this moment only Di Renjie and Liu Zhutou were left in the hall.
"My lord, I don't know if the villain should talk about it?" Liu Zhukuai asked.
Di Renjie looked up and saw him with an embarrassed look, and felt strange in his heart, so he waved his hand and smiled: "What's not to say, isn't it true that your brother treats Di as an outsider?" ”
Liu Zhukuai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "After the villain and a few brothers transported the body back to the yamen yesterday, it was placed in the morgue of the yamen. It seems that at dawn, the villain went to the warehouse to change a new waist knife, and when he passed by the morgue, he saw Master Luo running out of it in a panic. The little one didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel very suspicious. ”
Di Renjie pondered for a while, Master Luo...... is such a mysterious character, I was a little resistant when I first saw him. After thinking about it, he said slowly: "How is Master Luo's opinion in Zhangwu County over the years?" ”
Liu Zhukuai shook his head, and said with a somewhat lost expression: "In the past three or four years in Zhangwu County, Master Luo has not offended a single person, nor has he helped a single person. ”
"So strange, is there really such a wise person in the world? By the way, what did Master Luo do before he became an errand in the Yanei? Di Renjie was unconsciously particularly interested in this Master Luo, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
Liu Zhukuai was slightly stunned, and did not speak for a while. After a long time, he spoke: "Although the villain entered the yamen a few years earlier than Master Luo, he is not very clear about everything about him, only that when he went to Zhangwu County to take office, it was the county master who carried him in an eight-person sedan chair!" ”
"Eight-person sedan chair? It seems that Master Luo's background is not small! Di Renjie had a strange thought in his heart at this time, Master Luo had been in Zhangwu County for several years, and he had neither contributed nor made mistakes, is there really a person in the world with such a balanced character? And most importantly, why did he run out of the morgue in a panic, what was he going to do in the morgue, did he know the true identity of the deceased?
What surprised Di Renjie was this God, he never expected that the rain would get heavier and heavier, and the momentum had not stopped. Looking at the pouring rain in the courtyard, he shook his head helplessly and muttered with a wry smile: "I didn't expect God to help me, this rain will fall like this again, I don't think I will find anything even if I rush to the upper reaches of the Zhangwu River, is this case just stopped?" ”
Just as Di Renjie was deep in thought, an eager sound of horses' hooves outside the audience interrupted his train of thought. He raised his head, and soon a person walked in outside the corner door, equipped with a large dagger knife, but the person's face, Di Renjie recognized at a glance, it was the scholar Shuqi.
Shuqi hurriedly walked into the pavilion and said, "Little Shuqi knocks on the young master!" ”
"You?" Di Renjie looked at Shuqi with some doubts, and asked in a surprised tone: "I didn't order you to guard the county government, why did you do this?" ”
Shuqi hurriedly said: "My lord, the little one has something important to report, that is, to inform the adult, someone has come to identify the corpse!" ”
"Recognize the corpse!" Di Renjie was so happy that he immediately stood up from the wooden bench, walked back and forth in the hall, kept rubbing his hands, and said excitedly: "Great, someone finally came to identify the body." Let's hurry back to the county office, maybe there will be new developments in the case, let's go now! ”
After bidding farewell to the little old man and offering a tael of silver incense money, when Di Renjie and the others rushed back to the county office, the rain just stopped. The sunlight shines obliquely on the roof of the county office, because the water traces have not dried, reflecting a lot of light, colorful, not beautiful.
"My lord, the people of the Yin family are still waiting in the county hall, please go and have a look with the little one." Master Luo had been waiting for Di Renjie at the gate of the county government for a long time, and when he saw their group dismounting, he stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Yin Mansion?" Di Renjie immediately stopped, turned his head and asked, "But the richest man in Zhangwu County, Yin Mansion?" ”
"Exactly, Mrs. Tai of the Yin Mansion is still crying in the lobby, hey, Mrs. Tai is in her forties to have the youngest son of Young Master Yin, I didn't expect that now the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which is really embarrassing!"
Di Renjie didn't speak, and walked quickly towards the lobby. His expression at this time was very solemn, because of the word "Yin Mansion", this Yin Mansion can only be regarded as an ordinary wealth in Zhangwu County, but Mrs. Yin is not an ordinary old lady of a big family, it is said that his ancestors accompanied Taizu Taizong to fight the world and made immortal achievements.
"Old Madam Yin, the junior Di Renjie has seen the old lady!" With that, he walked slowly to Mrs. Yin's side and saluted respectfully.
Mrs. Yin slowly opened her eyes, and her bloodshot eyes, which were already swollen from crying, looked at Di Renjie gloomily. His lips squirmed, but he didn't speak. At this moment, someone accosted him:
"My lord, my mother has lost her beloved son, please forgive me for the offense just now."
Di Renjie looked at it, it turned out to be a woman about thirty years old, with a slight appearance, dressed in plain clothes, and the cuffs were already stained with tears, presumably this person must be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yin Mansion and the sister-in-law of Yin Gongzi.
Di Renjie bowed and said, "I don't know what Mrs. is called?" ”
"Slave Yang ......"
"Oooh! I said Mrs., although I am temporarily acting as the magistrate, but under the rule of this official, there is such a thing that has lost all conscience, and this official is really shameless to face Mrs., shameless to face Mrs. Tai! ”
"Don't blame yourself for being bad, my sister-in-law is better than my mother, blame me for loving Ping'er too much, so this kind of thing happened!" Saying that, the Yang family couldn't help crying, and Mrs. Yin Jiatai cried even more sadly.
Di Renjie sighed secretly in his heart: "It seems that the words left by the ancients are not false at all!" It's sad to lose a child in old age! ”
"My lord, can we bring back Ping'er's body, we want to bury Ping'er well, I don't know if the adult can be reasonable?" Yang said silently.
This...... Di Renjie was stunned. The case has not been solved, the murderer has not been caught, and with Young Master Yin's body, it can continue to go down, once it is buried, it will be difficult to do the rest of the matter. But seeing the two poor women of the Yin family, it is not easy to postpone it. Di Renjie's eyes fell on Shuqi, and he looked at him again and again, but what he said in his mouth sounded:
"Good! The official made an exception, and the lady brought back the body of Young Master Ping, so that he could be buried thickly! ”
But one of them quit and shouted: "I see who dares to touch Young Master Yin's corpse, it's not okay to beat me!" ”
