Chapter 115: New Year's Gift

"Stinky boy, you're tired of being alive! Mouth-open! Fortunately, there are a lot of our lords, otherwise do you think you can go home alive to reunite the year? Lin Sheng smiled coldly: "Even I haven't seen the true face of Lord Xiang, do you still want to be curious about who he is?" It's a pipe dream. ”

"I ......" I admit that I have lost, and I am a little unfavorable to speak for a while: "I ...... I didn't think about it, I just thought it was ...... His martial arts are really high! ”

"That's it. Otherwise, wouldn't Mu You have found out earlier? Lin Sheng became proud: "Mu You may have suspected my identity for a long time, but he didn't dare to pierce the layer of window paper at me, I'm afraid he hasn't figured out who the person above me is, I'm afraid that the line will be broken!" Hahaha!

Li Jianghu, don't expect to find out our identity and ask Mu You for credit. It's not been a year or two since we arrived in Xiangzhou City, and some people like to dig their own graves in the end? ”

Lin Sheng's eyes were suddenly as cold as ice bars, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and then said: "You went to the county government to help with the autopsy, and you are also familiar with Zhang Xiaoquan, you have time to ask him, how many corpses have he examined in the past ten years, can he guarantee that he has not encountered anything weird?" It's just that our people are careless and don't pay attention to the details. ”

Autopsy? Don't pay attention to details?

Don't......

I suddenly thought of the cases created by the White Cloud Fairy, the deceased were all killed accidentally, and the real cause of death was murder.

What does Lin Sheng mean is that they have secretly killed many people who do not follow their rules in the past ten years, and then covered them up by other means?

I looked at Lin Sheng in surprise, only to see him smile slightly: "It's okay if you don't believe it, for the New Year, I'll give you a big gift tomorrow to let you know our sincerity!" ”

"What gift?" I blurted out, and a bad thought flashed in my heart, what the hell is this guy doing?

"Tomorrow's gift, tomorrow's talk! Happy New Year to you in advance! Hahahaha! Lin Sheng laughed and left, extremely arrogant.

I swallowed deeply, and the little joy I had had had long since been wiped out. I thought that I could still dominate and find out the "Xiangzhu" sooner or later, but I didn't expect him to be a guy who couldn't see the head and the end.

……

Sleepless, I got up and looked at the empty courtyard, which was pitch black. I wonder what secrets are hidden in this silent night......

"Left, a little higher. All right! ”

Wang Jiajia's excited voice sounded at the door. I hurriedly put on my clothes and went to see, and it turned out that they were hanging lanterns and peach charms.

"Brother Jianghu, are you up? In the past, I ate two pieces of pastry and prepared a big meal at noon. Wang Jiajia shouted.

"A-Niang...... Master...... Early. ”

"Hey." Wang Fatzi smiled at me and unfolded the couplet that Li Dongsheng sent me: "Jianghu, are you sure you want to post this?" ”

"Wealth is like spring, and there is a lot of pride, and the blessing is like the sea, and the family is auspicious. Well, that's it, of course, to be posted. ”

"Hehe, Aya...... Aya said that everyone is not interested in posting this, for fear that others will laugh at it. Wang Jiajia explained, handing the lantern to Wang Fatzi.

"It's just a few auspicious words, isn't it just like a peach charm, praying for peace and wealth, what's so funny? Maybe others see us sticking up to be festive, and they will be happy to post couplets in the New Year. ”

"Li Jianghu, hurry, something happened!"

Before the couplet could be pasted, an official hurriedly ran and shouted. I recognized him as a person from the county government, and yesterday he took the vinegar for Xiao Mu in the lobby, and later when Xu County ordered someone to carry away Shen Zhong's body, he seemed to call him Gao something......

Hey, I can't remember this memory for a while.

What did you come to?

So, I hurriedly greeted: "Gao Catch fast, I don't know what happened when I came?" ”

"You're welcome. Hey, it's really bad luck for the New Year, somehow, the Lu family's flour shop in the city suddenly ran out of water, burned a person to death, and even the Lu shopkeeper was injured. ”

"What? This...... How can you suddenly go out of the water? ”

Gao Yu waved his hand quickly: "I don't know about this, Xu County's order is investigating." I'll send you to help with the autopsy. Let's go. ”

"Autopsy? Right now? "I was taken by surprise.

"No, no, no, this can't be done, how can this be a big New Year...... He is not a member of the county government, isn't the county government a man? A-Niang directly refused.

"Xu County Ling said, don't let Brother Li go in vain, hehe, a hundred dollars of hard work."

"It's not a question of whether it's money or not......" Ah Niang is still not happy.

I suddenly thought of the big gift that Lin Sheng said he was going to give, and I don't know if this is it. So he comforted A-Niang: "It's okay, I'll take a look, and I'll be back soon." ”

"Brother Jianghu," Wang Jiajia chased into the house: "I see that your face was not very good last night, is something wrong?" ”

I took out the black triangular handkerchief that Mu Niangzi gave me for the autopsy from the box, and smiled faintly: "It's okay, I can handle it." ”

"Why don't you go directly to Xiao Mu and ask him to arrest Lin Sheng?"

I waved my hand: "Now is not the time. ”

"That ......"

"Li Jianghu, hurry up!" Gao Yu urged quickly.

"Alright, let's go!" I ran out and soon followed him to the scene.

The open fire in the flour shop had been extinguished, and a few pockets were still slightly emitting black smoke, and a servant made up a bucket of water, and in an instant there was a white flower on the ground.

"How can this make a living?" Shopkeeper Lu sat on the ground with a discouraged face and wailed, letting Du Xiuzhen wrap his right arm around him.

"I said yesterday that it would be closed, you don't listen, and you have to do business for half a day, which is good, it's all over!" A woman next to her was crying and complaining, it was the proprietress who was the hostess.

"Li Jianghu, please inside!" Gao Yu quickly stretched out his hand towards the inner courtyard.

I followed him, and saw dozens of servants gathered around, and on the ground in the middle, there were corpses, covered with white cloths.

Five steps away from the corpse, Xu Xian Ling was leaning sideways to listen to Zhang Xiaoquan's report on the autopsy, while Lin Sheng was recording carefully.

"Ming Mansion, Li Jianghu brought it."

I hurriedly saluted: "Li pays a visit to the Ming Mansion." ”

Xu Xianling's face was full of tiredness, and he pointed at the corpse: "Inspection!" ”

"Yes."

I replied, and saw Lin Sheng throw a shallow smile at me, and he leaned close to my ear and whispered: "Li Jianghu, you have to investigate carefully, the Ming Mansion suspects that this person was murdered." ”

Murder!

I was shocked, is this Lin Sheng's gift?

I lifted the cover, looked at the blackened corpse, and thought of what Wang Fatzi had taught to judge whether a person was smoked alive by fire, burned to death, or murdered first, and the most direct thing was to see if there was soot in his respiratory tract.

I opened his mouth and looked at his nose again, and it was obvious that there was soot, but his clothes were dirty but intact, and there were no signs of fire, so the man must have been smoked to death.

"Dare to ask Mingfu, where was the body found?" I asked.

"You, tell him again."

Xu Xian Ling waved to the side, and a person who looked like a small man took two steps forward and pointed towards a room: "It's the room next to the warehouse." Somehow, the treasury suddenly caught fire, and the shopkeeper ordered us to carry water to rescue, and finally suppressed the flames, but I found that Feng Liulang was missing. looked around and found that he was in the next room, fell to the ground, and did not respond, so he quickly went to report to the police. ”

I clasped my fists at Xu Xianling and said, "The deceased has soot in his mouth and nose, and he should have been smoked to death." ”

"Hmm." Xu Xian Ling pursed his lips: "Is Shopkeeper Lu okay?" ”

The little servant looked at the front room: "The shopkeeper saw that the storehouse was on fire, and he was anxious for a while, so he rushed to put out the fire, and was hit in the arm by the collapsed tiles. Dr. Du has already bandaged it, so it should be fine. ”

"That's good. The weather is dry, so be careful of the candles, especially your flour, which are combustible. Xu Xian Ling walked out: "Shopkeeper Lu, Feng Liulang's death, although you did not directly harm it, you also have an unshirkable responsibility." bury him well, take care of his family, and accept the punishment of the county government. Your flour shop should also be renovated well, and it can only be operated again after the county government inspection is qualified. ”

"Yes, what the Ming Mansion taught me is that Lu knows that he is wrong!"

"Li Jianghu, go to the county government to find me." Xu Xian Ling dropped a sentence, got into a sedan chair and left.

"Li Jianghu!" Du Xiuzhen slapped me on the shoulder.

I thought that receiving the reward was not a big deal, so I stopped: "Doctor Du." ”

"Xiaohu, you go back first. Tell me Ayer and I'll go back right away. Du Xiuzhen opened the guy who was carrying the medicine box and looked around vigilantly: "Is anyone spying on you?" ”

"I don't know."

"They're starting to get sick, be careful."

I pulled her around the corner: "What did you say?" ”

"It's not what I said, Brother Mu said, those fine works lurking in Xiangzhou City are about to start acting."

"Xiao Mu? Have you seen him lately? I looked nervously down the street: "I didn't even have a chance to talk to him yesterday at the county office. ”

"It's okay, if Brother Mu is in a hurry, he will definitely take the initiative to find a way to find you."

I saw that she mentioned Xiao Mu's happy expression, and couldn't help but smile: "How are you now?" Reconciled? ”

"Reconciliation? Brother Mu and I didn't quarrel again. ”

"That'...... Last time I remembered as if someone had come back from Xiao Mu and was heartbroken...... I don't know what's going on? ”

"That's because I don't know yet, so I'm sad." Du Xiuzhen frowned: "Now, I want to open it myself, in fact...... Brother Mu...... How so? He didn't actually hate me, he just ...... Hey, forget it, don't talk about it. ”

I was anxious: "Did you talk like that?" Halfway through the words, it pours people's appetite? ”

"I ...... I was also uncomfortable and wanted to find someone to talk to, but ...... I don't want to give away his secrets. Du Xiuzhen's face was full of embarrassment, and she was so anxious that she almost jumped up.

"Then forget it, I still have to go to the county government to get paid, so I'll go first."

"Hey, wait." Du Xiuzhen grabbed me: "You are also a friend of Brother Mu, then I will tell you, but you have to swear that you must keep it secret!" ”

"Say."

"You swear first!"

"I swear I will never divulge secrets." I raised three fingers to the sky.

"Words count! In fact...... Ay! ”

I didn't want to hear it anymore and turned away: "Forget it, I'm leaving!" ”

"Hey, hey," Du Xiuzhen stopped me again: "Actually...... Brother Mu...... It's not just that he doesn't like me...... Rather, he ...... to all women None of that feeling. ”
