Chapter 61: Not Burning
Before Han Mu came back, Xue County Wei really couldn't see anything wrong with the Chen family's fire, in fact, he didn't see anything wrong until he went to Yizhuang.
So he decided it was an accident at the time.
Since it was an accident, it was naturally impossible to conduct an autopsy, and the body was placed in Yizhuang at that time, and it was managed by the messenger who guarded Yizhuang.
"At about noon, not long after the adults went to Chen's house, Chen Shi went to Yizhuang to bring out the body, and buried it after the burial." At this time, the county lieutenant Xue had already determined that there was a problem with the case, "Although Mr. Chen has no family, he has been in Yixian for many years and has many friends. ”
"Even if he dies suddenly, he should hold a funeral, and he should invite some monks and Taoists to spend it over, but Chen Shi hurriedly buried the person."
Han Mu asked, "Is it buried?" ”
I'm afraid it's not so easy to bury it and dig it up.
"No, almost," Xue County Lieutenant said: "I couldn't find Chen Shi everywhere, and I went to Yizhuang for an autopsy and couldn't find the body, so I immediately found it and stopped him before he buried it." ”
In fact, half of the burial was already done, but they were lucky enough to find someone before they were completely buried and brought the coffin out again.
When they arrived outside the city, it was getting dark, and they had to light torches.
Chen Shi, a servant of the Chen family, was escorted and knelt aside, and there was a big pit next to it, and a coffin was placed on the edge of the pit.
Han Mu glanced at Chen Shi and stepped forward to look at the coffin.
The servant pushed the coffin board away.
Han Mu leaned in to take a look, only glanced at it and then turned around and covered Gu Junruo's eyes, "Don't look at it." ”
Gu Junruo tore off his hand, "I've seen dead people." ”
He killed someone in front of her yesterday.
Han Mu: "This dead man is different. ”
But Gu Junruo still stepped forward to take a look, and for some reason, she had a feeling that this Mr. Chen was very strange, and this case was very important.
Mr. Chen was burned to death, and he was completely invisible.
Gu Junruo was mentally prepared, but when he really saw the burned corpse in the coffin, he couldn't help but turn white.
Han Mu pulled her aside: "It's all said, don't look at it." ”
He beckoned to him and asked him to come forward for an autopsy.
He asked people to carry the body out, and a piece of linen cloth was spread on the ground, and Han Mu pulled Gu Junruo aside, "If you are really bored, try Chen Shi." ”
Before the words fell, He Ziyou, who was curious to come up to see the corpse, rolled his eyes, threw himself aside, and vomited wildly.
Han Mu looked back with a disgusted expression, "Look at your little bit of breath, you can vomit when you see a dead person." ”
He Ziyou hugged the tree trunk with a pale face, and looked at him with wet eyes, "I have seen a lot of people who are heavy on color and light on friends, but it is rare to see people like you who are heavy on color and light on friends." ”
Han Mu looked at him with disdain, "Are you embarrassed to compare the guts of a big man and a woman?" ”
Gu Junruo had already come to his senses and asked Chen Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, "Why do you want to bury your master so quickly?" ”
Chen Shidao: "I want my master to be buried as soon as possible." ”
"It's so urgent, I can't wait for a day, there was a fire last night, and I will be buried today, and I don't even have time to mourn my relatives and friends?"
"My lord doesn't like these customs etiquette," Chen Shi said: "If my lord knows, he will be willing to enter the earth as soon as possible." ”
Gu Junruo's face was pale, "Really?" ”
He had already done a preliminary examination, and he was surprised: "My lord, Mr. Chen was not burned to death. ”
"What?" Everyone turned their heads to look at each other.
"He died before the fire, but how he died still needs to be re-examined, and it is inconvenient here, so he needs to go back to the county office." ”
Han Mu asked Chen Shi, "Did you hear it, let's say, how did your master die?" ”
Chen Shi said with a pale face: "I, I don't know." ”
Seeing that he refused to speak, Han Mu sighed, waved his hand, and said, "Then go back to the county office and check it carefully for me, hmph, there is a time when you speak." ”
County Lieutenant Xue hurriedly said, "My lord, I'm afraid the city gate has been closed at this time. ”
Han Mu: "Then open it again, this is the West City Gate, not the East City Gate, can there still be enemy countries detaining customs from here?" ”
Lieutenant Xue immediately stopped talking, anyway, the city gate was wide open before, there was no way, everyone was so hungry that they couldn't move, and no one went to guard the city gate.
It was also during this time that there was food, and the city gate officer arranged for the soldiers to guard the city again.
Han Mu is the county order, and Yixian has the final say, and then he can call it away.
Generally speaking, even if it is a county order, it is not possible to call open the city gate after nightfall for no reason, but the situation in Yixian County is special, and the city gate was open for a long time before.
Now the guards of the city gate, up to the city gate officials, down to the guards are all raised by Han Mu, so as soon as he called, the people on the city tower opened the city gate after confirming that it was really their county order.
After everyone went in, Han Mu also called someone to teach him a lesson, "If I tell you to open it, you will open it, do you know that this is to be punished in the army?" ”
Gate Officers and Soldiers: ......
Xue Xianwei et al.: ......
"Forget it, you are a first-time offender, I won't punish you this time, remember next time, except for me, only Mrs. can knock on the city gate, and no one else will open it, do you know?"
Gu Junruo: ......
The city gate official responded with a confused face.
Han Mu was satisfied.
Gu Junruo said helplessly: "Follow the rules." ”
Han Mu added: "Yes, according to the rules, except for me and my wife. ”
Gu Junruo turned around and left, "Let's go." ”
Back at the county office, Han Mu asked Chen Shi to be locked in prison, handed over the body to the servant, and then threw his hands back to the backyard.
Back in the backyard, he and He Ziyou collapsed directly on the chair, today is really tired and hungry, Han Mu sighed, waved his hand and said, "Come on, hurry up and eat, I'm starving." ”
However, Gu Junruo was still sitting upright, she lowered her eyes and thought, and raised her eyes after a moment, "Tomorrow we will take a look at all the bridges in the county." ”
"Are you leaving?" Han Mu slumped in his chair and didn't move, "Can't the county magistrate stay in the county office all the time to handle official business?" ”
Gu Junruo: "If you can sit still." ”
Han Mu really couldn't sit still, so he was silent.
Han Mu was physically tired, but Yao Boqing in Jiangling was tired.
He only arrived in Jiangling this evening, and he didn't wait for the interrogation, so he wanted to ask Ding Xianling to have a meal to inquire about the specific situation, but who knew that Ding Xianling didn't see him, and even the gift he sent in was withdrawn.
In the end, he spent a lot of money to find out some information from a servant: "...... A total of eighteen people died, all of whom came to assassinate Han County Order, such a serious case, do you say Ding County Order can be careless? ”
Yao Boqing didn't expect it to be so serious, and hurriedly asked, "Then how can you suspect going to my house?" My family and Han County have no grievances and no hatred......"
The official said meaningfully: "But Han County Commander didn't say that, he said, except for the Yongping Marquis Mansion in the capital, then he only offended your Yao family, so you see, our adults can only ask you for questions." ”
Yao Boqing's face turned blue.
