Chapter 11: A Dead Body

As soon as the sky was bright, some candidates had already taken the test to the Gongyuan Academy, and the gate of the Gongyuan in the east of the city gradually became lively.

The west of the city is also gradually bustling, some vendors have begun to set up stalls, and some women carry clothes to the river to make laundry......

Suddenly, a turquoise thing floated on the riverside, and someone picked it up with a long pole: "Ah! It's personal. ”

Then someone immediately jumped into the water and fished him up.

People have been whitened.

The official who had just left the house and had not yet reached the yamen spat and exclaimed: "Bad luck." ”

But he hurried to the river.

"It looks like a scholar, don't you come from the Yingke Building." Someone exclaimed.

When the official heard this, he immediately retracted his heart, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, if the candidate had an accident when the Gongyuan was opened, it would be a big matter, but it was not that their yamen could control it.

Immediately let colleagues report to Dali Temple.

When the people of Dali Temple heard that the candidate fell into the river and lost his life, they yawned and swallowed it raw.

Soon the people from Dali Temple also arrived.

Liu Xinglei, the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple, took over the matter, and the first thing he did was to summon the manager of the Yingke Building to recognize the person.

When the steward of Yingke Building saw the corpse, his face was surprised, and then he shook his head and felt deeply sorry, came out of the mortuary, and said to Liu Xinglei:

"Lord Hui, this person's name is Wei Xiaowei, a person from Nancheng County, Jiangzhou, who is one of today's candidates, living in the Yingke Building in the west of the spring, going out at the beginning of last night, and returning at the end of the ugly time, because of drunkenness and trouble, and injured several candidates at the same time, the small one expelled him from the Yingke Building according to the law, and he never wanted to say goodbye was already a yin and yang separation."

"How is this person's literary style on weekdays?" Liu Xinglei asked.

The steward of the Yingke Building thought about it for a while and replied: "How many poems did he make in the building, can you read them?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Xinglei responded lightly, "He often goes out on weekdays?" ”

"Yes, he often went out when he first came to Yingkelou, so when he went out last night, the villain didn't ask much, who knew that he was going to drink." There was some disdain in the eyes of the steward of the Yingke Building.

Liu Xinglei looked past the steward of the Yingke Building and looked at the work that came out from behind.

He stepped forward with the box, recounted what he had tested, and said: "There are no fatal wounds on the body except for some minor external injuries on the chest, and there is no doubt that he fell into the water and drowned." ”

Liu Xinglei nodded and asked the two of them to go down and make a record.

Looking into the distance, the Gongyuan opened today, and the scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam were all full of anxiety and anxious waiting, but this person did the opposite, during this period, he did not want to forge ahead, his playthings were demoralized, and he dared to drink and slack.

If you don't have the heart to take the imperial examination, how could you jump into the river and commit suicide because you were expelled from the Yingke Building.

"It seems that he was drunk and fell into the river and drowned." Colleague Lu Xiang put one hand on Liu Xinglei's shoulder and said with a smile, "Life accidents are always caught off guard, you will feel sorry when you first arrive in office, and it's like that after a long time, relax." ”

The case is closed.

Xiaoliu reported the matter to Mama Qi as soon as possible.

Mama Qi happened to put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and said with a smile: "It's been a busy night, it's hard work, hurry up and come over to eat." ”

Mama Qi watched Xiao Liu eat, with doting in her eyes, and moved the bowl of chicken soup on the side to Xiao Liu: "This is stewed for you by my mother, eat more, see that you have lost a lot of weight in the past two days." ”

"Okay." Xiao Liu drank it happily, and then went into the house to sleep.

Mama Qi looked at the empty bowl of chicken soup and smiled with satisfaction.
