Zhangwu River is the mother river of Zhangwu County, but also the origin of Zhangwu County, although Zhangwu County is located in the Central Plains, located in the mountains, the larger river is only Zhangwu River.

"How can there be so many onlookers here?" As soon as Di Renjie arrived at the scene of the corpse, he saw the people of Zhangwu County surrounding the scene.

Seeing this, Liu Zhutou shouted while escorting Di Renjie in the direction of the corpse: "The county lord is here, let the villagers give way!" ”

As soon as the people heard that it was the new acting magistrate who had arrived, they retreated to the side and got out of the way. Di Renjie, under the escort of Liu Zhutou, walked quickly to the range of the corpse.

Suddenly, I saw a person next to the corpse holding a brush and recording something. He approached suspiciously, and when he saw that it was Shuqi, he said unhappily: "Hey! The kid is capable, and he dares to conduct an autopsy alone without my orders?"

Shuqi didn't look up, and the pen in his hand didn't stop, he said half-jokingly: "Young master, I am like gold, jade like jade, and I will see the carpenter." When I first arrived in Zhangwu County, I heard that the master here had something to do, so I made a cameo. ”

"I see!" Di Renjie half-squatted beside Shuqi and asked in a low voice, "Did the deceased drown?" ”

Shu Qi glanced back and said slowly: "From the outside, it is indeed drowned, young master, please look at his lips, from time to time there will be more water in his stomach discharged." But I still have to cut open his belly so that we can find out the real cause of his death then. ”

Di Renjie moved his gaze to the face of the deceased again, and he asked with a little surprise: "How is this deceased already unrecognizable?" ”

Shu Qi smiled: "This is obvious, it may be that the murderer did it on purpose, in order not to let us know the true identity of the deceased." ”

Di Renjie couldn't help but put the thumb of his left hand in his mouth, and thought in his heart: "If the face of the deceased is really deliberately done by the murderer, then this cannot be the first scene of the murder, but if this is not the first scene, the murderer has already destroyed the face of the deceased, you should be relieved, but why bother to move the body here, what does the murderer want to hide?" ”

"Your Excellency!"

As soon as Di Renjie turned around, he didn't know when Master Luo was standing behind him, and saw him bow down and salute him.

"Master Luo is also here, I wonder what Master thinks about this matter?"

Master Luo arched his hand and said solemnly: "My lord, according to the villain's humble opinion, we should find out the true identity of this person as soon as possible, we may have solved the first mystery, use this as the entrance, and then follow the vine to find the murderer." ”

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Master Luo's idea coincides with mine, in this way, you immediately have someone post a notice to identify the body in the county, I hope someone can recognize this person!" ”

"Okay, the villain will arrange it!"

Di Renjie looked at Master Luo's distant back, and there seemed to be something wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"Young master, what are you talking about next to you, such a whisper, won't you be talking behind people's backs?" Shu Qi pouted, pointed his finger at Di Renjie and said loudly.

"Hugh is talking nonsense, by the way, how is the corpse, is there any new discovery?" Di Renjie spoke a little nervously, his eyes were a little unnatural, and he deliberately diverted the conversation.

Shu Qi let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "There is no progress, the corpse has been soaked in water for too long, I don't think even if I open my stomach for an autopsy, there will be no new findings." There is not a single scar on the deceased's body, and there is no trace of a fight on the shore, so to put it mildly, this corpse seems to appear in our Zhangwu County out of thin air. ”

Di Renjie waved his hand to signal Shu Qi not to continue, for fear of causing panic among the surrounding crowd, he turned to Liu Zhutou in the distance and said, "Liu Zhutou, you find a few people to carry this corpse back to the yamen first, and take some errand soldiers with me to the upper reaches of the Zhangwu River early tomorrow morning to have a look." ”

The next morning, it rained a gentle drizzle, which was the first rain in Zhangwu County since the beginning of autumn, Di Renjie rode with everyone and galloped quickly on the narrow mountain road. The horses' hooves splashed mud flowers and sprayed on the weeds around them. Suddenly, the rain became heavier and heavier, Liu Zhu quickly held a horse whip in his hand, pointed to a Guanyu in the distance and said: "My lord, this rain is getting heavier and heavier, let's go to the Guanyu in front of us to take shelter first, and it's not too late to hurry when the rain stops!" ”

Di Renjie wiped the rain sliding down his cheeks with his hands, looked at the thick dark clouds in the sky, and said: "Okay, I think this rain will also fall for a few hours, let's go to Guanyu to avoid the rain first, and then wait for the rain to stop before hurrying!" ”

As soon as Di Renjie's words fell, he raised his horsewhip, waved the horses under him, and rushed towards Guanyu in front.

On the top of the mountain, there is a Taoist temple, with brilliant glazed tiles, vermilion walls, and majestic gatehouses. On the door, the three red gold characters of "Jinsha View" are eye-catching.

Liu Zhu quickly stepped forward and knocked on the mountain gate, and after a while, the corner door opened a gap, and a head poked out of it to look around, it turned out to be a little Taoist monk. Seeing that there were people outside, I must have been a little timid in my heart when I saw the clothes and dressed, and I retracted my head and wanted to cover the door.

Liu Zhu quickly grabbed the door knocker, fought with one arm, and pushed the corner door open, and the monks behind the door were bounced out for a long time.

"What are you going to do, do you want to rob the ancient temple?" A Taoist priest shouted in horror.

"My lord, please inside!" Liu Zhuai was the first to enter the Taoist temple, and Di Renjie followed with the local soldiers.

"Little Taoist, this official is the order of this Zhangwu County, today I was going to go to the upper reaches of the Zhangwu River to find a case, unfortunately it rained on the way, I want to borrow the Guibao Temple to avoid for a while, and I will give more incense money after leaving." Di Renjie explained politely.

"Oh, I see! It's just that my family is visiting friends, and we have no right to call the shots. But it's already like this, and it's okay to come in and rest. One of the older Taoist priests said.

"Thank you, then beg for mercy!" Di Renjie took advantage of the situation and took his subordinates into the Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is also relatively generous, the front and rear two-story halls, enshrined in the three Qings, the Jade Emperor, all kinds of immortals. They were sent to a side hall in the hall, where the Taoist priest offered freshly brewed tea, a few plates of dried fruits, and a few people ate and drank to relieve their clammy and cold bodies.

Di Renjie's eyes roamed around this side hall, and several huge portraits in the room attracted him. One is Zhang Tianshi, the other is Lu Zu Dongbin, and the last one is a portrait of a Taoist priest, dressed in a sauce purple robe, with a jade hairpin in a horizontal bun, a long face, horizontal eyebrows, and handsome appearance.

Di Renjie counted which way of immortals this painting was, why hadn't he seen it!

At this moment, Xiao Lao Dao walked into the side hall with a large pot of steamed steamed buns: "Donors, this is the leftover rations of our Taoist temple this morning, and we specially steamed them to satisfy their hunger." ”

Di Renjie asked curiously: "This little Taoist, I know a few portraits hanging in this hall, but I really don't know the portrait hanging on the west wall, can you teach a lesson or two?" ”

"Oh! Of course, the donor didn't know it, but the painting on this painting was my family's viewer. ”

"Oh! It turned out to be the Viewer, but I don't know what your family is called? ”

"His old name is true, and the people in the rivers and lakes gave him an old mixed number--- Sandong real person."
