Chapter 193: The County Government Explores the Secret
When Liu Cheng saw the Taoist priest die violently, he believed that what he said was true. He trembled and asked the tenant to report to the county office. But how could the official errand believe the statement of folding longevity. Liu Cheng repeatedly explained that the death of the Taoist priest was due to the curse of heaven for leaking the heavenly secret to his own fortune. The official scolded him for being insane, because there were no clues at the scene, and the autopsy did not show any signs of poisoning or injury. He insisted that it was him who shouted to catch the thief. Without asking any questions, he was sent to the county office.
The magistrate of the county government is a survivor of the blue jade case, who was originally a waiter in the household department, and was later demoted to Dengzhou Mansion, which can be regarded as saving a life. This can be regarded as the last loss of confidence in the Ming Dynasty, and he does not ask the officials to govern, and studies poetry and songs all day long, and Huang Lao's technique.
On this day, I heard about such a bizarre case, but I was interested, and it was rare to be promoted to the court once and try the case in person.
In this trial, the magistrate felt that what Liu Cheng said was quite like that. And he thinks that it is rare for Liucheng to encounter such a miracle. It was determined that the Taoist priest died of natural causes, and the case was hastily closed. even sent someone to send Liucheng back to Liujiaji, and watched him go to Baiyun Temple to become a Taoist monk. He also sent five hundred taels of silver for repairs.
This incident was a household name throughout Dengzhou at the beginning. When we arrived at Liu Huaichun's house, he was unwilling to let such a "family ugliness" be publicized.
So what did that Taoist priest say to Liu Cheng at the beginning? Liu Huaichun said that he didn't know either, and I suspect he didn't dare to say it. And this is what we are most concerned about, his son is now willing to leave his wife and run to Kunyu Mountain to become a monk. Just because of the words of the Taoist priest, and his death.
And Liu Cheng's wife, why did she go crazy? Liu Huaichun's statement is that his daughter-in-law Liu Zhang went to Baiyunguan to look for him because she missed her husband. As a result, I went for three days and three nights, and when I came back, I was already crazy, I didn't know anyone, I didn't remember anything.
How did his daughter-in-law go crazy? Could it be that Baiyun Temple is also a harmful Taoist temple, and there are a group of Taoist priests or monks who pick flowers living in it. Such a temple and Taoist temple, it is rare to meet one, how can it be one after another. This is another suspicious point, I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing when I first arrived in Kunyu Mountain. I think Wuchen and Tianfeng want to know what the Taoist priest calculated at the beginning.
"Old man, you tell Poor Dao about your son's birthday, and Poor Dao also calculates it. "There are really people who are not afraid of death, and Tianfeng actually wants to try it.
"Oh, Dao Chief, I can't help it. Liu Huaichun was about to cry, "What kind of sin have I done, our family has been passed down for three generations, just such a son, as a result, the result is ...... Hey......"
"Do you want to say it, believe it or not, I asked my military friend to arrest you to the government?" Xing Wuyang listened to it on the side, frowning. This old couple looks pitiful, and today another tenant has died in the family, even if we don't publicize it, it is impossible for him to be unaware. When the time comes, it will inevitably be troublesome again.
"I said, I said!" Liu Huaichun was frightened by the wind, so he had to tell him his son Liucheng's birthday.
Tianfeng pinched his fingers and counted for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "What do you guess I have calculated?"
"Don't tell us, we know that if we don't get it right, we will bleed and die on the spot. Fang Tong replied jokingly.
"What a heavenly opportunity. I'm this Liucheng, that is, an ordinary life, nothing special. At best, it was a fate that had no heirs, or it was caused by the feng shui of his family's house. ”
"What's wrong with the feng shui of this house? This is ......" Liu Huaichun didn't seem to believe in the "nonsense" of the heavenly wind, and as soon as he was excited, he said half a sentence.
"But what is it?" Tianfeng asked, his eyes lit up.
"This ...... It's nothing. Liu Huaichun knew that he had made a mistake in his words, so he shut up and stopped talking.
The old man was still hiding something.
"Don't toss the two old men anymore. It's a big night, it's cold, don't freeze your body. Bao'er couldn't stand it anymore, so she said, "Two old people, hurry back to the room to rest, we killed the people, and we will make it clear to the county government when the time comes." Rest assured. ”
"If you want to say, you go and say. "I'm not happy," I don't have time to deal with the government. ”
"I'll just say it, when the time comes, let the catcher arrest you and send you to prison, and wait for the autumn queen to behead. "Bao'er didn't give an inch.
Although we are angry, we also know that it is almost the same time to toss for so long. Curiosity is curiosity, we still have business. Such anecdotes are everywhere in China. In modern times, if there is a record in historical materials, it is called an "unsolved case".
"Brother Mu, there must be something strange here, and it is by no means so simple. While disposing of the tenant's corpse, Wuchen said to me, "You just happened to run into a crazy woman, and you almost killed yourself." Why don't they want us to see that madman so much?"
Because I killed the people, they unanimously decided that I should bury the bodies. Just be dustless and kind, give me a hand.
When I thought about it, the scene just now was indeed a bit thrilling, and I almost capsized in the gutter, "Also, this tenant came up indiscriminately and greeted him to death." According to Old Man Liu's words, there is no need to be so vicious. The daughter-in-law is crazy, and she is locked in the firewood room all day long to prevent people from approaching, and it is not a glorious thing to spread it. By the way, what about the crazy woman?"
"Still locked in the firewood room, locked, Fang Tong with the key. ”
After such a toss, I felt sleepy again. I went back to the kang and fell asleep again. I don't know how long I slept, but a shaking woke me up.
When I opened my eyes, I saw two yacha standing by the kang, holding steel knives in their hands and staring at me nervously. Fortunately, I slept in kimono, otherwise I would have to wear clothes, and I would have the feeling of "catching rape in bed".
"Do what?" I put on my boots and stood on the ground. I was the only one in the room with two servants, and the others didn't know where to go.
"You killed the tenants in Old Man Liu's house?"
"yes, I killed it. But if you don't have evidence, you don't have the right to arrest me. "I didn't take these two little officials seriously, and went to the door, I had to see where the few of them went.
"What a crazy tone!" Suddenly there was a bright knife on his neck, and at a glance he knew that the quality was very poor, far from the knife used by the soldiers in the army, and the official who drew the knife stopped me, "Since you have confessed to the murder, what evidence do you need! Moreover, the tenant family and Liu Laohan and his wife are both witnesses! You just wait to go back and sentence." ”
When I was in Jinan, I knew that now that Zhu Di and Emperor Hui Zhu Yunwen are at war, even if the prisoners who are sentenced to death are generally changed to the army. In order to cope with the war, they need fresh troops.
"Don't use knives and guns, it's not good to get hurt. I gave him a cold look, "Have you ever killed anyone? If not, don't scare people here." ”
I could see from the officer's eyes that he didn't dare to kill, not even the courage to stab me. Usually be a prestige and a blessing, and have a virtue with the city management.
I walked into the yard and there was no dust and they weren't there. Liu Huaichun and the remaining tenant are still there, but they don't seem to have recovered from last night's shock. The servant who was holding me with his knife also took the knife back and followed me. I guess he must be very shameless.
"What about them?" I asked Liu Huaichun.
"The two Taoist masters have gone to Baiyun Temple. The official and the other master didn't know where they went, so they all left early in the morning. ”
"What about the three women?"
"Still resting in the house. ”
After listening to this, I walked to the door of the house where Bao'er and the others lived. I was going to push the door and enter, but after thinking about it, I knocked on the door anyway.
"Who?" was Zhang Lele's voice.
"I, Mu Wu. ”
"Come in. ”
I pushed the door in, and the two officials behind me also wanted to follow, but I stopped them.
"Don't go in, you're all women, and you're going to gouge out your eyes when you see them. ”
"If we don't follow up, what if you run through some secret passage?"
"If I want to run, do I need to find some secret passages? "With that, I closed the door.
"What's wrong?" As soon as I entered the house, Xiaodi and Bao'er, who were still asleep, also woke up.
"It's okay, I'm going to go to the county office, the four of them, the two Taoist priests went to Baiyun Temple again, and I don't know where the remaining two went. What are you three going to do with me? Come with me to the county government or stay here?"
I'm worried about the safety of the three of them, in case there is no male to take care of them, something will be in trouble. Although Xiaodi knows how to do kung fu, she is a woman after all. Indecisive and ruthless when necessary.
As a result, the three women shook their heads in unison, they were tired from climbing Kunyu Mountain yesterday, and they didn't want to go anywhere now. Even if it was a sedan chair carried by eight people, they were so bored that they panicked.
"What are you doing in the county office?" asked Zhang Lele.
