"There, one hand floats, right in the middle." Ji Liu closed his eyes and pointed to the lake with his hand, his voice trembling slightly.

In an incoherent state, Ji Liu still made the position clear, she sat on the ground, and even the sound of the roots of her teeth colliding up and down was extremely clear in her mind, and the appearance of the corpse seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she couldn't shake it off, she couldn't control her thoughts, and immediately her back molars flashed with a touch of coldness.

Ji followed and squatted on the ground, stroking her back. He buried his head, the expression on his face in the dark night was not real, if he said that he was not afraid of the dead body, he did not glance at the lake the whole time, if he said he was afraid, his hand to appease Ji Liu was as steady as Mount Tai, and even the frequency between the rubbing was almost the same.

And Sheng Li on the side, at this time he frowned and looked at the lake, he didn't want the people who came out of the Sheng family's big house to see the tragic situation here, in case someone had no intention of returning to the Sheng Mansion, and someone else had the intention to reach the ears of the head of the Sheng family, he would inevitably be called back for questioning, so Sheng Li commanded to the guards who followed: "You two, one of you goes to the county government to find Master Wen and ask him to send someone over." The other escorted the family back and did not let them come here, lest they be frightened. ”

The two guards were obviously specially trained, and when they saw the corpses in the lake, they only raised their eyebrows, not as if they were frightened, and they bowed down and replied, "Yes, little master." ”

After they took the Sheng Mansion Mansion away as instructed, Sheng Li found a wooden pole to remove the lotus lanterns gathered on the lake. With his movements, a prone and swollen corpse slowly came into view. The bulging upper body of the corpse was like a buoy on a fishing rod, floating on the surface of the lake, frightening the surrounding people from time to time to exclaim.

Sheng Li's impact was far greater than that of the people who had already been far away from the shore, and he frowned for a moment and closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had already turned around and walked towards Ji Liu.

Ji Liu was comforted by Ji, and the surface had regained her composure, what remained in her eyes was Sheng Li walking back quickly after turning the surface of the lake, but what occupied her mind was the ghost that crawled out of the lake last night.

She was distracted, and faced the figure that was getting closer and closer, and said, "My lord, it's ......."

The voice was extremely low, like a mosquito disturbing people's dreams on a summer sleep, only by her recent Ji Mou could hear it.

Ji quickly raised his hand to cover her mouth, blocking her next words, and then said to Sheng Li, who was already standing in front of her: "We're fine, adults don't have to care." ”

He glanced at Ji Liu's half of his face covered by his big hand suspiciously, then nodded at Ji Mou, and didn't care about it anymore, just retreated to the shore of the lake, put on a pensive posture, and didn't allow anyone to approach.

Ji Liu also calmed down after Ji covered her mouth, and it wasn't until Sheng Li left that she took Ji Mou's hand down and listened to the admonition: "Zi is silent, strange and confused." ”

Let's not say that this matter has nothing to do with her, let's just talk about what she just said, that is, to attribute the murder to the ghosts, and many people on the scene at the Hundred Flowers Festival made people panic, and she must be reprimanded.

Her eyes fell to the ground, and she stood quietly behind Ji until a crisp cry came from the shore of the lake.

"Reiko!"

Wen Yuecheng, the prince of Zhaofeng County, followed by a group of officials, trotted to the vicinity of Sheng Li, he and Sheng Li stood side by side, slightly inferior in height, but this face was not like Sheng Li hiding, the tender white face still had milk fat, and the age was estimated to be about the same as Sheng Li.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ji Liu would not have been able to contact such a person with the county master.

"Come a few people, go down and salvage the corpse," Wen Yuecheng tightened his cheeks, and said in a clear voice: "Be careful, don't destroy the corpse." ”

After he kept calm and gave orders to the officials, he moved closer to Sheng Li, and the hand behind his back tightly pinched the hem of Sheng Li's clothes.

"I've only been in Zhaofeng County to be the county lord for less than half a year, and this is the first time I've held the Hundred Flowers Festival," Wen Yuecheng said bitterly in Sheng Li's ear: "Why did you come across this kind of thing?" Can't you let Lord Ben eat and wait for death, and deal with some trivial things? ”

Sheng Li heard his complaints, tilted his head slightly, and the black mask looked very weird under the light of the red lantern. He lowered his head and stared at the bun face in front of him, and he really couldn't understand how someone could study hard for ten years and once get the title of the gold list, just to eat and wait for death.

"Tut-tut, it's so pitiful, it's all soaked," Wen Yuecheng didn't notice the disdain in Sheng Li's eyes at all, and he said to himself: "This kind of corpse, Lord Ben has only seen it in books before. Now it seems that the book is still described in the best way, which is really disgusting. ”

Before Sheng Li could think about his words, a smile quietly rose on his face: "Finally give Lord Ben a chance, I must make this group of old slippery heads obedient!" ”

The young man in front of him was two years older than Sheng Li, and the previous county master of Zhaofeng County was old, handed over his resignation to the boss, and returned to his hometown.

If you want to talk about him, he is also a legend.

Fifteen years ago, the Emperor of Jingguo boldly used newcomers who had no personal connections, and set up a school dedicated to the common people, named Sansi.

Sansi College enrollment, every six years.

Every three years, people from all over the world can participate in the small literary examination, and the emperor selects the best 50 students to enter the academy to study, and is taught by the academicians of the National Academy of Sciences, which is specially established.

These 50 students, after three years of study, participated in the big literary examination, and finally left the top three to enter the court as officials. In the three years after entering the college, there have been many small tests, countless people have given up and dismissed, and there are less than ten people who can really go to the big literary examination.

Wen Yuecheng was the second batch of people to be recruited, and even one of the ten people who went to the final literary exam.

According to his own vigorous proclamation: "On the day of the big literary examination, above the court, the emperor personally invigilated the examination. In the solemn atmosphere of the main hall, he wrote like a god help, and after the emperor saw his answer sheet, he praised the article on the spot for its excellent style, and the content was based on the people's livelihood, which can be regarded as a good appearance in the world. However, he was dedicated to asking for the people's life and was unwilling to restrain the court, so he asked to see the emperor many times, hoping to arrange for him to be close to the people and do things for the people. The emperor had no choice but to let him go, so he came to Zhaofeng County and took the position of the county lord. ”

Seven days after Wen Yuecheng took office in Zhaofeng County, he directly posted a public announcement to expand the manpower of the county government, and Sheng Li participated in the competition without telling his family.

Because of his perennial martial arts practice and fitness, coupled with the upbringing of the Sheng family, Sheng Li easily entered the county government and worked with him.

The two have been doing things together for half a year, and the words that came out of Sheng Li's mouth to Wen Yuecheng went from believing at the beginning, to numbness, to not believing at all, and also suffered a lot of heart-rending pain.

"They have been following the county lord in front of them for too long, and they have developed some bad habits," Sheng Li guessed that Wen Yuecheng was taking revenge for the neglect of him by these people before, so he could only follow his hair: "Just beat it." ”

"Huh." Wen Yuecheng snorted coldly and didn't speak again, squinting at the servants who were salvaging the corpses in the lake.

As the body was slowly moved closer to the shore, the men were getting heavier on their hands and feet in order to carry it ashore.

At the same time, Ji Liugang let go of the fear in her heart, couldn't resist her curiosity and turned her gaze, and suddenly, she looked at the swollen corpse, which exploded directly from the abdomen, and the nearby officials were sprayed uncontrollably.

The smell of the corpse and the sour rot of vomiting instantly filled the air, and Ji Liu subconsciously blocked the handkerchief on Ji Mou's nose, but he couldn't help it at all, and spit out two mouthfuls of sour water. The people who were still surrounding the side to watch the excitement were disgusted and couldn't walk, swallowed two mouthfuls and spit out.

Ji Liu glanced up at Sheng Li, and the unreal expression under the mask came out of his eyes.

Sluggish. used the method of emptying his mind to maintain the cold arrogance of the son of the family. His eyes seemed to be looking at the corpse, and it was as if he had fallen asleep with them open.

But......

"Damn, it's disgusting," Wen Yuecheng beside him didn't have such good self-control, and even spit out the rice balls he ate before going out: "What did this person eat before he died?" It's so green, it's ......."

He vomited so much that he was dazed, and the sheng li next to him was like a person who had nothing to do, which made Wen Yuecheng unwilling, he pointed to his vomit and said, "Xiao Lizi, you see, the rice balls I ate at night are still filled with sesame seeds." ”

Ji Liu guessed from the reactions of the surrounding people that Sheng Li was definitely not the only one who heard this sentence, and the vomiting sound that had just been suppressed rose one after another.

Both of them are new officials, where have novices seen such a scene, the desire churning in Sheng Li's stomach is not much better than that of Wen Yuecheng, from beginning to end, he is just pretending to be calm.

But Sheng Li made a mistake, he underestimated the horror of Wenyue City, this guy's brain was knocked out like the exploding corpse.

Sheng Li really couldn't control it, he didn't want any family face rules, he kicked Wen Yuecheng's waist, at this time, only by letting him be in close contact with the corpse could he relieve the vomiting in Sheng Li's throat.

This kick disgusted one of the officials, who was already stained with a fishy smell on the side of the corpse, and Wen Yuecheng's upside-down body was extremely powerful, and he was stunned to fall next to the corpse's thigh. If it weren't for his quick reaction with his hand, he pressed the ground in time and supported his body, otherwise this thigh would have to explode like just now, spraying him all over the face.

Sheng Li saw that he didn't succeed, and he didn't dare to take a deep breath, so he could only hold his breath and gritted his teeth at Wen Yuecheng and said, "Don't let people carry the body back, call the pretend." ”

Wen Yuecheng originally wanted to use the power of the grand ceremony to punish the fallen officer, who would have thought that he accidentally touched the green liquid contaminated on the officer's body, and directly rolled his eyes and said to the person who brought it: "If you hear it, don't carry it away." ”

With that, he took the lead in raising his legs and walked ahead of everyone. Ji Liu couldn't stop muttering when he heard him walking: "This clothes must be thrown away, no, burn it!" Ahhh ”

With him making such a fuss, it made Ji Liu feel much more at ease, she watched Sheng Li leave a few officials to clean up the shore, and reminded the people that this is the place where the crime occurred, and no one is allowed to approach at will before solving the case.

She grinned, as if the two of them were a good match too!

A good flower festival ended like this, and Ji Liu couldn't see the fireworks display, and he felt a little regretful. It's just that this kind of thing happened, and she can only consider herself unlucky.

On the second day, she got up early and went to the boundaries of the goods to see if there was a delivery vehicle to bring them back.

Uncle Niu could only leave a letter for him in Chen's shop, so as not to make him wait meaninglessly.
