Chapter 24: A Case Investigation

At this time, the mark on Chen Qian's face suddenly flashed.

Chen Xiaotian didn't know what the two girls were talking to in a low voice along the way.

Chen Xiaotian took the lead.

After walking for about an hour, there was a three-way crossing, and there was a stone at the entrance and exit of the road, and the left stone was written Tianle County, which was five miles away. The stone block on the fork in the middle of the road reads Jiangcheng. The stone on the right reads Tiannan and Tianhe.

Chen Xiaotian took them directly to the left road. Although he wanted to go to Jiangcheng, in the past, he would think of several good choices and the best choice before every semi-important thing, and then hand over the copper money in his hand to make the final choice, but every time he could go to his own path with his own subjective will, for example, a year ago he thought about it in his ancestral house, and he was inspired to go fishing, and he was lucky to catch a golden turtle.

。。。

Chen Xiaotian is the child of a simple family in Tianle County, Jiangcheng, it is really unfortunate that his ancestor was a farmer, just a farmer, I don't know which generation, there was a genius boy, he saved the family that was about to fall into a desperate situation. He suddenly found that the orange peel that no one usually pays attention to can be eaten, and it is very delicious, so that ancestor made a kind of food that can be carried around, although it can not satisfy hunger, but it improves people's appetite, no, he has money, and then moved to Jiangcheng, and opened a number of shops, his descendants also followed, to Chen Xiaotian's generation is already the fourth generation, he is Chen Xiaotian's great-grandfather, Chen Jiu, because his family is ranked Jiu, and the family is not a scholarly family, and it is already good to have a name.

This kind of food was even more popular in the south of the Yangtze River when Chen Xiaotian's grandfather was there. The good times didn't last long, and in his father's generation, the market had been occupied by other imitations.

As the saying goes, there are no more than three generations of wealth. Chen Xiaotian has two uncles, his father is the third, and the inherited family property is also rich. Their uncles have all gone on to other businesses. His uncle did nothing but let the fields out and waited to collect the rent. The second uncle is proficient in the art of feng shui and makes a living by helping people see feng shui. Chen Xiaotian's father was a hard-working man, and he ran the food shop that his grandfather left down while educating his son.

Chen Xiaotian's family has moved back to Tianle County.

Opposite his house is the Li family, I heard that his ancestors planted plums, and made a kind of food later, which was also popular for a while, and then declined.

The head of the Li family, Li Zimu, is a very strict person, at least that's what Chen Xiaotian thinks. When Chen Xiaotian was a child, he and his daughter Li Juan were playing in the water tank while playing with the water, and a hand slipped, pushing Li Juan to the ground. Li Zimu knew about it and gave him a whip fiercely.

Since then, Chen Xiaotian has a shadow in his heart, he is afraid of whips.

。。。

Far away, let's turn the lens of time and space back to Chen Xiaotian's side.

Chen Xiaotian rode a black horse and walked behind, and the coachman drove the carriage in front. Chen Qian and Zhang Xiu were so jolted by the carriage that they almost spit out the bile water. Chen Qian shouted, "Coachman, be steady." ”

The coachman said, "Very well, Miss Qian'er. ”

Her little face turned green, because Zhang Xiu was also wearing the same uniform as Chen Qian. She turned her head and said to Chen Xiaotian, "Childe, how long will it take, this official road is really lazy, and the court will not allocate funds to repair it." ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "Tianle County is relatively poor, and there are no special products, so that's it." ”

Chen Qian said, "That's right." ”

。。。

Chen Xiaotian looked at the surrounding Qingshan and felt very calm in his heart. After walking through a pothole, the road behind is very steady.

When passing by a narrow mountain road, Chen Xiaotian, who was keen, suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood, floating from the mountain on the side, and he suddenly had an urgency. (High Energy Alert, Underage Girls, Please be accompanied by your parents or sisters.) )

"Phew", Chen Xiaotian stopped his horse. When the coachman saw Chen Xiaotian stop his horse, he also parked the carriage on the side of the road.

Chen Xiaotian got off the horse, came to the carriage and said, "I'll get down first." ”

Chen Qian and Zhang Xiu said, "It's convenient for us to go down." ”

The coachman said, "Go as you go, I'll be waiting for you here." ”

Chen Xiaotian and Chen Qian and Zhang Xiu are the two maidservants. Go up the hill on one side.

The three of them walked in three directions for a while.

Chen Xiaotian took off his pants and began to release water. Just as he was halfway through his pee, his urine suddenly poured over his head. "My mother." , Chen Xiaotian's hand shook and he held back all the urine.

It turned out that when Chen Xiaotian was urinating, he suddenly found three male corpses, which were already decomposed, and only bones were left. Judging by what they are wearing, they should be the newly appointed county officials, because they have their waterproof bags next to them, which are new luxury accessories in the past two years, and are generally only used for valuable items.

It should be an emergency, and the three unlucky ones failed to reach Tianle County or other state capitals. Chen Xiaotian looked at the bag and felt that he was full. He quickly put back on his pants, took the waterproof bag, bowed, and turned to run. Zhang Xiu and Chen Qian saw a man running over.

Chen Qian shouted, "Childe, don't come here." ”

Zhang Xiu also shouted.

Chen Xiaotian said with a pale face, "Hurry up, it's not clean here, hurry up." ”

Chen Qian and Zhang Xiu quickly solved it and ran over.

Looking at Chen Xiaotian, whose head was wet, he said, "What's wrong." ”

Chen Xiaotian said in a panic, "Quick, go back to the carriage." I'll tell you later. ”

The three fled back to the carriage. Chen Xiaotian touched the head of the black horse, and after talking to it, the black horse obediently ran to the front.

Chen Xiaotian, Chen Qian and Zhang Xiu got into the carriage.

Chen Xiaotian had palpitations and said to the coachman, "Let's go." ”

。。。

on the carriage.

The two girls held hands, a little scared.

Chen Qian began to speak, "What happened just now?" How to let the son urinate his own head. ”

Chen Xiaotian looked at the two maids with two balls tied on their heads and said, "Childe just saw three terrifying corpses, which scared me to pee. The corpse was almost bone. ”

Zhang Xiu and Chen Qian listened, and the two hugged each other in fear.

Chen Xiaotian said with a pale face, "I'm scared to death." ”

As he spoke, he was about to hug the second daughter.

The second girl glared at him, and he made a look of wanting to hug him, and returned to his place.

He took out the waterproof bag he had just picked up from the corpse.

Chen Qian looked at the bag and asked, "This is?" ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "Waterproof bag." ”

Zhang Xiu said, "Yes, the little maid heard about this thing, only officials or local tyrants have the money to buy it." ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "Yes. ”

Chen Qian said, "Open it and take a look." ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "That's exactly what I mean. Think of it as compensation. ”

Chen Xiaotian opened the bag, and the three of them were looking forward to it.

Inside was an official document, and six sets of clothes, all of which were official uniforms, and 100 taels of silver.

Chen Xiaotian, Chen Qian, and Zhang Xiu were all stunned. With this hundred taels, Zhang Xiu can do himself. Chen Qian can also be free.

Chen Xiaotian silently put all the silver into his purse. said lightly, "Yours is Childe, and I was quite frightened just now, so Childe helped you collect it." ”

Chen Qian and Zhang Xiu both blushed for him, but now that he is the master, it is not easy for him to earn anything as a servant.

Chen Xiaotian picked up the official document and the letter in a letter and read it again.

Chen Qian said, "What is written?" ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "This is the appointment document of a new official, explaining their identities and being responsible for the trial and investigation of the next criminal prison case in Jiangcheng." and execution. There is also an anonymous letter about the imminent execution of a murderer. This book records the cases he experienced, and wrote about how to solve the case and how to find clues. There are also all kinds of bad guys who use them to hide from the world. On the last page, he suspected that there was something suspicious about the murder of Wang Yuer in Tiannan County, please go and verify. ”

Chen Qian whispered, "Can we disguise ourselves as them, so that we can live a life of officialdom." ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "Pretending to be an official of the court is to behead you, but the murder case of the adulterer ** above is only three days away from execution, and I am very interested." After the case was done, we walked away. It shouldn't be detected. ”

Zhang Xiu hugged Chen Qian tightly and asked, "What case?" ”

Chen Xiaotian spit out the key points and said, "Wang Yuer and Shi Jiren's murder case." ”

Zhang Xiu whispered, "The little maid has heard of this case. I heard that it was a case in Tiannan County, where her husband was farming in the fields and was poisoned by the fish soup she and Xianghao sang. It is estimated that he will be sentenced to death by hanging three days later. ”

Chen Xiaotian said calmly, "I also heard a little rumor, I have never been in charge of things, and now the three of them came here to verify this matter and became officials, and they are destined to fall here, I should help him fulfill their last wishes, and this hundred taels should be regarded as funds." ”

Zhang Xiu's face turned pale and said, "If we are found out, we may be killed?" Isn't Childe afraid? ”

Chen Qian blushed and said, "Childe, Qian'er wants to see your chivalrous heroism again." It's a good choice to make. If I die, I will accept my fate, and I believe that my brother will save me. ”

Chen Xiaotian said, "Okay, what about Zhang Xiu?" This mission will be life-threatening, and if you don't do it, you will be in a different place. You can think clearly, if you don't go, I will charge you a rent of one or two, and pay it monthly, with one cent of interest. ”

Zhang Xiu said firmly, "The little maid is so poor that now she is only left with a crippled body, and now she is homeless, she can do something for her son, and it is not a pity for the little maid to die." As long as death is above board. ”

Chen Xiaotian nodded and said, "Very good, you won't die, I didn't save you, go to Tiannan County." ”

Chen Xiaotian said loudly, "Brother, don't go to Tianle County, turn around and go to Tiannan County." ”
