Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Corpse of a Barren Mountain Man
Ran Yan didn't know where Su Fu threw the mat, so he had to hold his expression and pretend not to know.
Xing Niang said, "How can it be less, didn't you forget to shop?" Now it's autumn, and I'm carefully freezing the lady. ”
Evening Green muttered, "No, there are only three mats in total, and I laid two ......"
Fortunately, several people didn't mean to hold on to the matter, and Wanlu found a new one to spread on the couch.
After washing, Xiao Man put the food on the table, Ran Yan ate some casually because of his depression, and sent everyone out, and Wu Zi took the half cup of water and poured it down, and studied Su Fu's **.
I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door, and there was a voice from the evening green outside, "Lady, something is wrong." ”
Ran Yan frowned, paused with his hand, and said, "Come in." ”
The door was slammed open, and the evening green rushed in like a whirlwind with the smell of rain, "Lady, the back mountain is dead, it's a young man"
"Well, and then what?" Ran Yan asked in a flat voice. She is used to seeing life and death, and thinks that people are alive and dead, but usually, don't say that a person died in the back mountain, that is, a bunch of people died, and she didn't think there was anything to make a fuss about.
Wan Lu hurriedly said, "The slave maid heard Xiaoman say, the lady saw Mr. Sang in the back mountain the day before yesterday?" I heard from the villagers at the foot of the mountain that Lang Jun was wearing a wide-sleeved round-necked robe, and he was very handsome......"
Ran Yan's hand holding the cup tightened, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there someone from the official mansion who doesn't skip words?"
"I'm here, I heard that Liu Tingshi personally brought someone over." Although Wan Lu regretted that Sang Chen was "from a humble background" and was not worthy of her mother, she had always had a good impression of him, and he was also an acquaintance, so as soon as she heard about it, she came back in a panic and told Ran Yan.
Ran Yan pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to think about it, judging from the words of the villagers, since she can see that she is handsome, it means that she has not been dead for long, and now that the weather is getting colder, one to two days after death, you should still be able to see the appearance clearly, and there will be no very terrible ** phenomenon, and she happened to have seen Sang Chen in the back mountain the day before yesterday, when he was alone......
"Where is the body now?" Ran Yan asked.
Wan Lu looked at Ran Yan's solemn expression, and became more and more anxious, "It's still in the back mountain, Liu Tingshi is personally investigating." ”
"You go and see if there are any outsiders around now, and by the way, see if you can see the corpse with your own eyes, if it's not Sangchen, you don't have to be nosy, just come back, if it's him...... Or if he couldn't see the body, he privately asked Liu Tingshi if he could let me perform an autopsy. If he agrees, you ask him to evacuate the crowd, and if he doesn't, come back. Ran Yan finished explaining all the words in one go.
Evening Green answered and hurried out.
Ran Yan was a little uneasy in her heart, since the incident with Qin Yunlin, she was very afraid that one day she would see the corpse of a familiar person on the operating table again, even though Sang Chen was just a person who had crossed paths a few times to her.
After less than a moment, Ran Yan was a little restless, his hand was tightly holding the water cup, his knuckles were white, as if he was about to break, his eyes were staring at a white and lovely hosta flower outside the window, trying his best to soothe it, but he unconsciously tensed all his nerves.
She kept comforting herself, the mountain road is difficult to walk on rainy days, and the evening green must take a long time to return, so she must be calm and patient......
The wind passed through the doors and windows, and Ran Yan suddenly woke up, finding that the sweat on his forehead had slid down his sideburns, and his clothes were already soaked.
Ran Yan collapsed on the table as if he had lost his strength, gasping for breath, as if he was frightened every time he dreamed back at midnight.
"What's wrong with the lady?" As soon as Xing Niang entered the house, she saw Ran Yan's pale face as white as paper and covered with sweat, and thought that her old disease had recurred, so she rushed over in horror and wiped her forehead, and said hurriedly, "Lady, you wait for a while, the old slave will call the doctor immediately."
Ran Yan grabbed her, "It's okay, I just thought of last night's dream." ”
Xing Niang looked at her carefully and made sure that she was really fine, so she let go of her hanging heart, held her hand, and said softly, "Lady don't have to bear anything alone, talk to the old slave, maybe it will be better." ”
She wouldn't have said it before, and she wouldn't say it now.
Xing Niang saw that she was silent, sighed and said, "But the lady was frightened when she saw those corpses?" The lady used to be timid, and in order to make a living, she even had to do that kind of work...... Lady, you can't do these things privately in the future, if there is a shortage of anything, there is Shilang who can help us, but I can't help it, there are always old slaves and late green them. ”
Ran Yan said slowly, "It is said that the dead are great, but they can serve the deceased, why is the status so low?" In fact, people don't think that dead people deserve respect, but they are afraid, so they hypocritically use respect to cover up fear. ”
"That being said...... Xing Niang felt that what Ran Yan said was very reasonable, but she still didn't feel how noble it was, and fiddling with the dead was always unlucky.
"You go get busy first, I want to be quiet for a while." Ran Yan said.
Xing Niang remembered that Fang Cai heard Wanlu shouting about the dead man, so she came over to ask, and as soon as she entered the house, she was diverted, but looking at Ran Yan's description, she didn't want to ask anything, so she got up and went out lightly.
The aroma of hosta flowers gradually soothed Ran Yanxin's anxiety, she took out several herbs and crushed them, soaked them in distilled water, and lowered her eyes to carefully observe the changes of the medicine in the water, so as to relieve her mood.
About two moments later, Wanlu returned, her skirt wet from the rain and clinging to her legs, and her hair was slightly disheveled. "Lady, Liu Tingshi didn't let the slave and maid see the corpse, he had already evacuated the crowd and said that you can go to the autopsy."
Ran Yan had already guessed this result, Liu Pinrang let the old fox not miss the slightest opportunity to solve the case, however, there have been many major cases in Suzhou recently, even if the case is solved in time, Liu Pinrang may be impeached for a crime of unfavorable control. Ran Yan gave him more than half of his belongings, so he naturally didn't want this money to go down the drain.
Liu Pin was born in a poor family, not only to maintain his reputation for honesty, but also not to let the family seize the handle, otherwise he will not be able to keep his assassination history for long when the time comes. There are very few people who can receive money, and there are even fewer people like Ran Yan who are so generous. She can be sure that if there is a new history of assassination with a background, it will definitely not be so easy to buy Liu Pinrang, firstly, the money taken out may not be able to be seen by others, and secondly, if you are not careful, you will be counter-controlled.
Whatever the reason, Ran Yan had to do everything he could to help him.
"Let's go, let's see." Ran Yan motioned for Evening Green to bring the toolbox.
The two of them were ready, and when they walked to the door, they saw Ge Lan and Xing Niang.
"Ge Lan can also go out for a walk with me." Ran Yan glanced at her and said lightly.
Ge Lan owed, took out the umbrella from the house, and followed Ran Yan and Wan Lu out of the yard together, Xing Niang looked at the backs of the three of them, stopped talking, sighed, and turned back to the house.
