Chapter 11 The coffin is opened for an autopsy
Early the next morning, Xiao Er prepared breakfast and asked everyone to go down to eat. As soon as I went upstairs, I found that the two sons and young ladies had already washed up and sat at the table chatting.
Xiao Er notified everyone, and always felt that the three of them were a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange. He muttered a few words, turned and went downstairs.
"I said, 'Shall we do this?'
Yan Xi looked at Lian Hua and said with a little uneasiness.
"What's wrong, we're just a small punishment. A surprise for the county magistrate. Besides, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. If the county master dares to do it, he must have the consciousness of being done. ”
was said by Lian Hua like this, and the little guilt in Yan Xi's heart suddenly disappeared.
Yun Zhu sat on the side and didn't say a word.
Yan Xi, "That's it, that's it." Now wait for Wu Qing to come, and let's go to Wu Mansion to find out. ”
"Tao Yao and Tao Zhuo haven't woken up yet?" Lian Hua asked when he saw that the hour was not early.
Yan Xi swallowed a mouthful of water and coughed uncontrollably.
Yun Zhu slapped Yan Xi on the back a few times to smooth her down. Seeing this, Lian Hua was amazed in his eyes, this Yun Zhu couldn't see it, it was different for the girl he liked.
"I ...... I've taken them all into the ruins. ”
The ruins of the gods are the places where the gods store things, and they can contain all things in the world. On weekdays, when there is something or the two children are too noisy, Yan Xi is used to collecting Taoyao and Taozhuo in the ruins. It is convenient and clean, too.
Last night, the matter was urgent, Yan Xi didn't think much about it, and habitually put them into the ruins. I was busy with other things just now, and my mind was blank, and I didn't think about the two of them at all.
When the person was released, the two little girls cried pear blossoms with rain, one threw herself into Lianhua's arms, and the other went to Yunzhu's side. As a result, when he saw Yun Zhu's cold eyes, he retreated to Lian Hua's side with red eyes.
Tao Yao, "Brother Lianhua, God is really too bad. Shut us up inside and don't let us out. We almost can't see you, Brother Lianhua. ”
"I thought that God would lock us up for hundreds of years like last time, and he would only think of us when he had no money to rummage through the cabinets." ”
In front of Yun Zhu and Lian Hua, being ruthlessly accused by Tao Yao and Tao Zhuo, Yan Xi couldn't help but blush. It was really a misunderstanding, if it weren't for the accident, she wouldn't have trapped the two of them inside for so long.
Besides, on weekdays, at most ten days, she won't let them out.
"In front of the two immortals, don't talk nonsense. ”
Yan Xi didn't dare to let the two of them continue talking, and if she continued, her old bottom was exposed by them.
What majesty will she have in the fairy world in the future?
"Brother Lianhua, God murdered us. Woo, woo, woo......"
After speaking, the two of them were aggrieved and cried again.
Yan Xi couldn't bear it, and his eyes were over.
"Stop, cry again, and I'll lock you up again." Don't cry or make a fuss, I'm letting you out. ”
Lian Hua and Yun Zhu didn't speak, and the two children were isolated, pouting, and didn't dare to cry anymore.
"Don't want to cry?" Yan Xi has raised two little white-eyed wolves for so many years, and he still doesn't know their thoughts. On weekdays, she was much more than that, and she didn't see them shed a single tear. Now, just looking at Lian Hua treating them well, she is still a true monarch in the fairy world, she doesn't read the face of a monk and a Buddha, and she won't blame Lian Hua. That's why she cried in front of Lian Hua and complained that she was not a god.
However, they misjudged Lian Huaming's ability to reason, between her, the god, and the two children, which is more important, he will make the most rational choice.
"Don't cry anymore. Tao Zhuo wiped her tears and raised her head proudly.
Yan Xi, "If you don't cry, go wash up." After breakfast, I went out to run errands. ”
The two children glanced at Yan Xi hatefully, turned around and walked out with a shaky pill head.
"No, I'm talking about God. You're like that on weekdays...... Teach them?" Lian Hua pointed to the backs of the two children, looking incredulous.
Yan Xisheng looked at Yun Zhu and Lian Hua without love, "It's not easy to be a god, and raising a child is even more like jumping into the fire pit." It made the two of them laugh. ”
Lian Hua snorted, "Indeed, I think Yun Zhu Shangxian should empathize." ”
Yun Zhu ignored Lianhua's provocative words and continued to drink tea in silence.
Lian Hua: ......
The food in the inn is good, even people like Yan Xi who haven't eaten for a long time feel light and delicious, so they can't help but eat more. The two children sat on one side and ate a lot, until they couldn't eat anymore, so they couldn't stop.
When Wu Qing arrived at the inn, everyone had just finished eating.
Yun Zhu greeted Wu Qing, "Wu Gongzi, are you here?"
"Yun Gongzi, I'm really sorry, there is something delayed on the road. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
At this time, a few talkers walked into the inn.
"I heard no. Last night, the county magistrate was stripped of his pants and hung on the city tower all night. ”
Who did this, and who was so bold that even the county magistrate dared to offend?"
"I heard that there were more than a dozen masked men in black, but it is strange to say that those men in black hung the county lord behind the city wall, and they did not escape. Instead, I stood under the castle tower all night, and when I passed by this morning, I was still standing under the castle tower. ”
"Ha, ha, ha...... Unexpectedly. Unexpectedly, our dignified county lord will also be retributed, which is really an eye-opener. ”
"Who says it's not. ”
......
As soon as there was a sound, the atmosphere of the entire inn couldn't help but liven up.
When Yan Xi and the others walked out of the inn to the street, the news that the county lord was hung on the city wall was almost well known.
Wu Qing heard a common person talk about the county master, and he was very puzzled. "Who has such a great ability to bring the county master out of the mansion. Still hanging on the wall without realizing it?"
Yan Xi's heart was weak for a while, but there was no expression on his face.
"I don't know what kind of master it is. ”
Yesterday night, Lian Hua restrained the people, but the three of them couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.
After thinking for a long time, Lian Hua raised his eyebrows, full of evil intentions. Yan Xi couldn't help but sympathize with the man in black.
As a result, Lian Hua cast a spell on the man in black, asking them to return the same way and toss the county master. There was a scandal that spread all over Wencheng early this morning.
According to the county magistrate's face-loving personality, for more than a dozen black-clothed people who have seen his jokes, he must not let it go easily. Yan Xi felt that she was not a good person, and she was still happy to see this kind of dog-eat-dog and murder with a knife.
"Master?" Wu Qing said.
Lian Hua stepped forward, "In short, as long as Wu Gongzi knows that this matter is a county order, he deserves it. ”
All the way to Wu's house, the white silk is full of hanging, and the funeral has not passed. Two stone lions at the door. Glaring at the eyes, the vermilion gate and the finely carved eaves highlight the extraordinary identity of the owner.
Yun Zhu stepped into the door first and glanced at the general situation in the house. "Wu Gongzi, may I ask if Wu Lao and Mother Wu are buried?"
Wu Qing's face was gloomy, "Not yet." It's just that it has been raining lightly recently, and there is still the county master to investigate, so no burial was arranged. ”
After hearing this, Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, otherwise they would have to throw the grave of other people's fathers and mothers, which is always a little disrespectful.
When he arrived at the mourning hall, Wu Qing ordered someone to open the coffin lid. Because it was summer, the corpse had not been buried for a long time, and a breath of rotting flesh came to the face, and everyone subconsciously covered their mouths and noses.
Yan Xi glanced at Lian Hua and asked her to take Tao Yao and Tao Zhuo out. Lian Hua understood, pretended to go out to play, and took the two children away.
Although the old man was burned by fire, fortunately, Wu Qing found someone to extinguish the fire in time and kept his general appearance, only with slight burns on his body.
The corpse in the coffin began to decompose, and the face was covered with dark corpse spots, and the stench came to the face.
Yan Xi quietly observed the corpses of the two old men, his lips were purple, and his eyes were obviously dark with poisoning.
Yun Zhu on the side obviously also discovered this problem, and frowned slightly.
Wu Qing saw that the expressions of the two were wrong, and took two steps forward to ask.
"Did you two find anything?"
Yan Xi took one last look at the corpse, made sure that it was correct, and turned his head to Wu Qing with a relieved smile.
"Wu Gongzi doesn't have to worry, the truth is about to be revealed, and he just needs to confirm some things at the end. ”
Yun Zhu and Yan Xi walked out of the mourning hall and went to find the other three people who were wandering. Wu Qing is in charge of the aftermath.
"Yun Zhu has made any discoveries?" Yan Xi said as he walked.
"Hmm. ”
"It seems that I still have a very tacit understanding with Yun Zhu. However, there are still a few things that need to be investigated before the fog can be cleared. ”
In the distant yard, a few crape myrtle flowers are planted, the branches are luxuriant, the flower branches are waving in the wind, and the petals rain from time to time.
Lian Hua was holding Tao Yao in her arms, and the little girl was screaming and muttering, stretching out her little short hand to fold the flowers. Taozhuo grabbed Lian Hua's robe with envy and looked up at her sister.
"Taoyao, slow down, be careful of falling. Lian Hua hugged Tao Yao, for fear that someone would accidentally fall from his arms.
"Taozhuo, you wait for your sister to fold flowers for you. Tao Yao desperately reached up, and finally reached a branch, broke it off and let Lian Hua hand it to Tao Zhuo.
Momozhuo got the flower and laughed happily.
"The ability is the same, so why hurt each other?"
Yan Xi approached, and Lian Hua put Tao Yao on the ground.
Tao Yao saw that it was Yan Xi, and hurriedly hid the flowers in her hand behind her back.
"Take it out, I'm not blind. ”
Tao Yao listened to Yan Xi's words and knew that it was useless to resist, so she reluctantly took out the flowers behind her. It's a very beautiful branch, but the petals on it have almost been removed by her, and only a few petals are scattered.
"God, this branch is for you. Tao Yao lowered her head and handed the crape myrtle flower to Yan Xi, and said resignedly.
"Give it to me? Aren't you still angry with me in the morning, but now you're not angry?
"You!" the little girl was guessed in her mind, and she was angry and wanted to take the flowers back, but Yan Xi hooligan reached out and snatched it first.
"That's it, since it's Taoyao's heart, I'll accept it. ”
Tao Zhuo saw the relationship between her sister and the gods, and snickered twice. The two of them are like this, a little proud, a big hooligan, and they don't feel tired after arguing for thousands of years.
"Sister Yan, this is for you. Tao Zhuo handed the flower in his hand to Yan Xi.
Just because in the mortal world, they can't call Yan Xi to God like in the fairy world, Yan Xi asked them to call her sister.
"Well, it's still Taozhuo sensible. Yan Xi took the flower with a smile, and looked at Lian Hua with a sharp expression. "But...... This bad idea came up with Lian Hua, right? ”
"Yan Xi has good eyesight, and sure enough, Lian Hua is showing off. ”
Yan Xi waved his hand, "No, Lian Hua's idea is very good, it's just that he chose the wrong object." In my opinion, Tao Yao is not the kind of person who gives in easily. ”
The little girl was angry.
Out of Wu's mansion, several people went straight to the county government prison.
In the county yali, it should be said that there are not many people in the entire Wencheng who don't know about Yan Xi's bet with the county master.
When the official saw Yan Xi coming, because of the command of the county order, and the extraordinary momentum of several people, he did not dare to slack off, so he respectfully asked people to go in to see Mu Ci.
A gloomy cell with the smell of decay.
Mu Ci sat on the ground, clasped his hands around himself, his eyes looking straight ahead, not sad or happy, empty and afraid.
"Mu Ci, I'm Yan Xi, the person who saved you on the execution ground that day. ”
Yan Xi looked at Mu Ci sitting in the corner through the cell door and spoke gently.
It's a pity that Mu Ci doesn't know whether he heard it or not. There was no opening from beginning to end.
