Chapter 22: The Attic

Joy from the sky!

It is said that the position of judicial participation in the army in Orange County has been vacant for a long time, although the position is only an adjutant, and the grade is not high, but there are many responsibilities, catching thieves and thieves, collecting taxes and maintaining stability, which kind of lack of people.

Now things are backlogged on Lei County Ling of Orange County, and he himself has no talent, so he can barely cope with it on weekdays.

But now, there have been three homicides, all of which were taken from the head of a young woman after she was defiled and killed. Now the whole county is full of rumors, and the trouble is boiling.

He had already sent a report to the above, but now there was not half a shadow to be seen.

I'm worried.

The news brought by Fei Jishi is really happy from the sky!

"Mr. Fei, I have long heard that the new Su Sima is a disciple of Di Gong, and I didn't expect that the people around him also have such skills." Lei Xian Ling laughed.

But he heard the origin of Fei Jishi, and thought that Zheng Chaoming was also Su Wuming's guest.

Fei Jishi shook his head and said, "Then Zheng Xiaozi's name is not small, you haven't heard of Zheng Chaoming's name?" ”

"Zheng Chaoming?" Lei Xianling's face was thoughtful, and he was secretly pondering in his heart.

"County order, Zheng Chaoming is my newly rising poetry and literary talent in Nanzhou." Ye Xiancheng hurriedly whispered a reminder in his ear.

"Oh, I said it sounds familiar, but it turns out to be Zheng Dacai." Lei Xianling said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zheng Caizi to be a civil and military all-rounder." ”

Seeing that the two of them were chattering, Fei Jishi said impatiently: "Okay, let's go quickly, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go."

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Nanzhou Sima's face still has to be given, Lei County Ling hurriedly took a group of catchers and went towards the Hall of All Beings.

A moment later.

Inside the Hall of All Beings.

Qi Zuo and Zhai Liang, who came in a hurry, were checking Liang Sanqi's injuries, and exchanged words in a low voice from time to time.

Lei Xian Ling naturally didn't go to see the thief, and was sitting in the living room of the Hall of All Beings at this time, drinking tea and chatting with Zheng Chaoming and others.

Lei Xianling has an excellent sense of Zheng Chaoming, firstly, Zheng Chaoming has helped him a lot, and secondly, Zheng Chaoming is a person valued by the history of Nanzhou Thorn, and he has a great relationship with Nanzhou Sima, so he is extremely polite to Zheng Chaoming.

At this time, Ye Xiancheng came in to report.

"County order, the case has been cleared."

"This thief's name is Liang Sanqi, it turned out to be a snitch, and now the potential sentient beings are pretending to be ghosts and doing three cases, he has already admitted it, but he doesn't want to explain where the head is."

Lei County ordered that he would like to care about the ins and outs, as long as the case is closed, he said at the moment: "Okay, you go and deal with it, and give an explanation to the people." ”

Ye Xiancheng hurriedly retreated, took the general catcher, and took Liang Sanqi away.

Zheng Chaoming saw that this Lei County order was still not leaving, so in desperation, he could only talk to him awkwardly.

After a long time, this guy left.

Fei Jishi collapsed and said, "This guy is finally gone." ”

"yes, this guy can really talk." Zheng Chaoming sighed, he is worthy of being an official, and his words are good.

"It's noon, and I don't know where my brother's grave is." As he spoke, Fei Jishi shouted outside the door: "Zhai Liang, Zhai Liang." ”

Qinghong was the first to walk in, and there was a lot of chaos in the crowd, so she stayed in her room after the question.

Zhai Liang trotted in and bowed to Fei Jishi: "Fei Lao, you call me." ”

"Say it."

Zhai Liang's face was embarrassed, he glanced at Qinghong and Zheng Chaoming, in his eyes, these two people were outsiders after all, and they couldn't tell them the secret.

Zheng Chaoming naturally knew about the matter, and he immediately got up and greeted Qinghong and said, "Qinghong, let's go out." ”

Fei Jishi stood up and said angrily: "I said Zhai Liang, what do you mean by this, what can't you say?" ”

Zhai Liang's face was very embarrassed, he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

Fei Jishi looked at Zhai Liang's appearance and became more and more angry.

Seeing this, Zheng Chaoming suddenly had a new idea in his heart, so he spoke: "But the location of the tomb is a little unspeakable. ”

But why did he say this, Zheng Chaoming still didn't think about how to deal with Meng Donglao, although his willingness to study medicine was good, but he did kill four people directly or indirectly.

On the one hand, he wanted to let Meng Donglao go, and he also wanted to support him to continue his research; On the other hand, there are some hurdles in his heart, but some of them can't be overcome.

That's four lives!

Although this is the Tang Dynasty, the lives of ordinary people seem to be like mustard.

Tangled.

But at that moment, Zheng Chaoming made a decision, the people are gone, the past cannot be admonished, and those who come can still be chased.

After listening to Zheng Chaoming's words, Fei Jishi was full of doubts in his heart, and instantly thought of something, and said angrily: "Zhai Liang, where did you bury my senior brother!" ”

Seeing that Zhai Liang didn't say anything, Zheng Chaoming continued to speak: "I see that the backyard is very yin, so it won't be there." ”

When Zhai Liang heard this, his heart was bitter, and he could only say: "That's it, it's in the attic of the back house." ”

"What!"

"Ahh

Qinghong was startled, no wonder the back house was so deserted, and the attic looked eerie during the day.

"You actually buried your senior brother in the house! You are crazy! "Fei Jishi was furious when he heard this, what thing could do such a thing!

He didn't know that thousands of years later, someone would buy a building and put boxes, and there would be boxes in every small room in every building.

With that, Fei Jishi hurriedly ran towards the back house.

Seeing this, Zhai Liang hurriedly chased after him.

Zheng Chaoming looked at Qinghong and asked, "Qinghong, you can stay here." ”

Qinghong naturally didn't want to go to see the tomb, it was still the tomb in the house, and said with a somewhat unsightly face: "I'll stay here and wait for you, you go and go back quickly." ”

Zheng Chaoming came to the back house, didn't see Fei Jishi and the others, walked into the attic, saw that the secret door had been opened, and walked in immediately.

Fei Jishi was holding the statue of his mentor and crying, scolding Meng Dong for his unfilial piety from time to time.

Zhai Liang could only stay silently aside, and it was not his turn to intervene in the affairs of the previous generation.

Zheng Chao Mingnian swept through the attic, but found no new secret door, and he began to explore the underground again.

There is indeed a skeleton in the coffin in the tomb, but this is not Meng Donglao's, and if you look down, it is a secret door, behind the small passage, it suddenly opens up.

An underground dark room, no smaller than the attic, was full of all kinds of medical equipment, and an old man with white hair and white robes was holding a skull and observing.

"It seems that this is old Meng Dong." Zheng Chaoming glanced at the figure paintings hanging on the wall behind the tomb, which were seven or eight points like the old man in the dark room.

At this time, Fei Jishi seemed to be scolded, he stroked the tombstone, and sighed: "Senior brother, senior brother, hey, I didn't expect that we would say goodbye back then, but we would say goodbye forever." ”

Zheng Chaoming walked around the outer wall of the attic at this time, probing the courtyard, and finally let him find another entrance, which was an abandoned firewood house, just under the firewood pile.

"Zheng Chaoming, what are you looking for?" Fei Jishi finally noticed Zheng Chaoming's small movements, so he restrained his sadness and said.

Zheng Chaoming didn't answer, but looked at Zhai Liang, and suddenly said, "This cemetery is not Meng Donglao's!" ”

"What!"

"Impossible!"
