Without waiting for Li County's order to speak, Wu County Lieutenant stepped forward first, threw a loud whip, and shouted to drive away the lively idlers, "Idlers avoid!" Li Xianzun is here! ”

The officials followed the whip and shouted, and suddenly they were majestic and displayed with the wind.

Li Xianling looked very satisfied, and kept taking care of the officials, "The villagers are ignorant, just disperse, don't be frightened." ”

Guo Sheng stepped on the horse, stood up on the horse, and looked for Zhao Hongqing in the crowd.

Zhao Hongqing stood in the middle of the crowd, more than ten feet away from the empty place in the middle where the corpse was dumped, hanging his hands and shoulders, looking frightened and depressed.

Approaching the empty circle, Zhao Hongqing's stepmother Meng Shi was holding her mother-in-law and was crying one after another.

Bao Zheng had already trotted up to catch up, kowtowed in front of Li Xianling's horse, got up and pointed to the empty circle, "County Zun, the corpse is there, I have already recognized it, it is Zhao Hongqing's daughter-in-law Zheng Grandma Zheng in the town, alas, it is really pitiful to die." ”

Li Xianling and others got off the horse, Wu County Lieutenant retreated slowly, although he was a county lieutenant, but he hated dead people or something, and then entered Layue, this kind of unlucky thing, it is better to stay away, he needs good luck most for a while, but he doesn't want to be washed away by a dead man.

Guo Sheng followed Li County's order, took the pretend, and went straight to the location of the corpse of Baozheng's finger.

When Bao Zheng called the two Shouyi Zhuang people who came to help, they saw Li Xian Ling and others coming, and hurriedly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and hurriedly retreated.

The corpse that had been thrown in the field for almost two days and two nights was already a little swollen, one eye was pecked by something, something was constantly wriggling in the hole of carrion, and the tongue that was spit out was rotten, gathering a thick layer of insects and ants.

Li County Ling rushed to the front, and when he saw such a head and face, he snorted violently, Guo Sheng knew Li County Order, and he had been on guard for a long time, so he hurriedly pushed him and turned around, Li County Ling squirted out yellow water and breakfast, and finally did not spray on the female corpse, and spit out the body of Wu County Lieutenant who was following behind.

"Wait for the county lord to rinse his mouth over there, and the county lieutenant, wait for him to wash and change his clothes." Guo Sheng calmly ordered the two officials, motioned to the servants and Baozheng to follow, walked to the corpse in a few steps, and squatted down to take a closer look.

He took out two pieces of clean white cloth, handed them to Guo Sheng first, and then took out two more pieces, wrapped his mouth, nose and one hand, Guo Sheng used the white cloth to pad his hands, gently pushed the head of the corpse up, looked at it carefully, and motioned to him to see, "Look at it like this, I'm afraid it's been two days since I died, my tongue spit out, and there are strangulation marks under my neck, which is hanging." ”

He nodded again and again, and the hanging, which was obvious at a glance.

Guo Sheng carefully looked at the head, and then looked down from the head, every inch was carefully examined, signaled to Shouyi Zhuang and the man, turned the corpse over, and pointed to the back of the corpse's neck, although it was already a little swollen, but it was still very obvious strangulation marks, "The strangulation marks are crossed, this is strangled by someone, look here, the traces are extremely deep, I am afraid that it is a man, and most women do not have such strength." ”

He kept nodding, this Mr. Guo was even more professional than him.

Guo Sheng looked at it again, untied the white cloth wrapped around his hand, handed it to the servant, and signaled that he was optimistic.

Bao Zheng beckoned a few people, put the corpse on a wooden plank, and waited for Hou Li County's order on how to dispose of it.

Li Xianling couldn't come back from the soul that was startled at that glance, rinsed his mouth, no matter what, he didn't dare to go any further, and from time to time he glanced at Guo Sheng, who was calm and calm, looking at the corpse like a flower, and felt for the first time that he, Master Guo, seemed to have some ability, at least he was bold enough.

County Lieutenant Wu consciously knew in his heart, but he didn't want to touch the bad luck, no matter what, he refused to go forward, wet half of his clothes, two steps behind Li County's order, tightly wrinkled his brows, a contemplative look, but he wandered out of the world, imagining what he would do if he became a county commander, and who should be allowed to do his position as a county lieutenant......

Guo Sheng walked to Li Xianling's side and said in a low voice: "It's been about two days since I died, I was hanged from behind, there were no other external injuries, the person who hanged Zheng was very clean and neat, and his hands were extremely strong, he should be a man." Find a place and ask your family to come and ask? ”

"Good, good!" Li Xianling kept nodding, the fright just now disrupted his assumptions, it was still a little messy at this time, and the matter of inferring the truth according to clues was even more chaotic.

The county lieutenant of Wu only looked at him and didn't speak, Guo Sheng ignored him, called Baozheng, and ordered to carry the body of the Zheng family back to the Zhao family first, and then find a suitable place to call the Zhao family over, and the county respected to ask questions.

Bao Zheng was very neat, took Li Xianling and others, entered the tea shop in the town closest to this side, cleared the idlers, and brought Zhao Hongqing and his stepmother Meng in.

Seeing that Zhao Hongqing kept looking at him as soon as he came in, County Lieutenant Wu was annoyed, so he simply excused himself that his clothes were soaked, and the cold was too strong, so he was afraid that he was sick, so he simply went back first.

Seeing him leave, the corners of Guo Sheng's mouth seemed to be picked up, and he was still thinking about how to break him apart, just right.

Li County Linggao sat on the head, looked at Zhao Hongqing, and then looked at Meng's family, and suddenly remembered the incident that Wu County Lieutenant told him that day, Zhao Hongqing because his daughter-in-law always burns incense everywhere, spending money and not going home, suing for rampant obscenity, this Zhao Hongqing, is it that Zhao Hongqing?

Li Xianling remembered it and asked, "Your name is Zhao Hongqing?" Did you go to the county government and hand over a complaint, saying that obscenity is rampant in this county, just because your daughter-in-law burned incense everywhere and you got angry? ”

Guo Sheng almost lost his breath when he heard Li County's order ask this sentence.

Zhao Hongqing's frightened eyes widened, he softened on the ground, and shook his head desperately, "No...... Yes, under ...... Xiaomin ...... It's not a small people...... It's not ......"

Meng Shi covered his face and cried, "I beg the eldest lord to be the master, the daughter-in-law of the people's wife has always been virtuous, because she has been married for three years and has not come out, Hongqing him...... begged the eldest master to be the master, Hongqing missed his hand for a while......"

Guo Sheng was stunned and looked straight at Meng, there are really a lot of demons and monsters in this small Xikou town!

"And so it was!" Li Xianling was smart at this time, sighed, and pointed at Zhao Hongqing who was about to speak, Guo Sheng really couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his voice: "County Zun!" Let me ask a few words, this case is complicated, and human lives are at stake, so we must not ignore it. ”

When Li Xianling heard the words "human life is a matter of heaven", he immediately became cautious, hesitated, and gestured to Guo Sheng a little reluctantly, feeling annoyed in his heart, he knew that he should bring Master Chen over, this Guo Sheng, young and gentle......

"Zhao Hongqing, your daughter-in-law has been dead for two days, and I only found out this morning that your daughter-in-law has not been at home in the past two days, have you been looking for it?" Guo Sheng squatted in front of Zhao Hongqing and asked in a gentle voice.
