Cangzhou 2

Hu Da was stunned. "I'm not...... Are you idle?"

Nan Jiyun was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a faint scream in the post house behind him, and the sound of rain sounded faintly

"Murder! Dead!"

Hu Da and Nan Jiyun glanced at each other in shock, and rushed back in the rain without thinking......

The two of them rushed to the stove where the sound came, but they were stunned to find that there were two fierce guards guarding the door, and when they saw them dressed as soldiers, they still stretched out their arms to block people.

"Stay!" The young fierce guard drank coldly.

"Who are you? How is it here? What's going on?" Nan Jiyun was shocked and angry. "Who shouted for the killing?"

"Xuanfu, let them in." A low, languid voice sounded.

"Why?"

Nan Jiyun frowned and strode in, not forgetting to pull Hu Da, who was cowering, and reprimanded: "We are the post soldiers of the Mountain Bird Station, and it is our duty to guard the post station, so be tough!"

Hu Da had a bitter face, he didn't care whether he was tough or not, he just thought that An An was divided into duties and stood guard to be this post soldier, and received this salary that he couldn't eat enough but couldn't starve to death, so it was best not to fall on him in anything.

But who knew that there was a death in the post station......

On a rainy day, the day was cloudy, and several lanterns and oil lamps were lit in the stove room, which illuminated the room very brightly, and the contents were clearly visible at a glance.

"Dead Man...... ...... in the water tank"

"God......

The frightened cooks turned pale and vomited, and they were far away from the big water tank by the window, as if they were eager to escape from the door.

When Nan Jiyun heard that there was a dead person in the tank, his heart jumped suddenly, and his feet were a little weak, and he didn't want to refute it. "What nonsense? Dazzled, right? How can there be a dead man in a good tank?"

"It's true, I don't know how long it took me...... ...... vomit."

The most conspicuous and calm in the stove room was a tall and handsome man in a black robe, and a cold and glamorous girl in a bearded suit who was only three steps away from him.

One of them is handsome and strong, the other is beautiful and heroic, standing in one place like a beautiful couple, but judging by their manners and demeanor, they are two strangers who have never known each other.

Nan Jiyun looked at the big water tank, a chill ran down his spine, and in order to strengthen his courage, he instinctively shouted at the two strangers. "——There is a death in the stove room, it is not a place for people to watch the excitement, and if it is irrelevant, don't you go back to the room quickly?"

The handsome man in the robe raised his eyebrows slightly, and his delicate phoenix eyes smiled before he spoke, with an indescribable dignity and calmness. "Are you the postman on duty today? What's your name?"

Nan Jiyun was stunned, a little annoyed. "I asked you first—"

Before the handsome man could speak, he had already bent down to preliminarily inspect the deceased who was curled up in the water, and the cold and glamorous bearded girl glanced at it, and said lightly: "The golden belt treasure is like a flower, and it is matched with seven things...... Although he was not dressed in a scarlet robe and had a silverfish bag tied around his waist, he was expected to be an adult of the fourth rank of the dynasty."

The handsome man smiled, "Girl's good eyesight."

In order to travel in a low-key manner, the carved treasure flower gold belt he chose around his waist was already the most inconspicuous, and the seven things were the most common, and even the peddlers' pawns could get it...... I never thought that in just a few glances, she could immediately peek through the mystery.

This girl is really not ordinary.

As soon as the girl's sentence "the adult of the four grades of the dynasty" came out, everyone was stunned.

Everyone hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed their hands. "I've seen adults."

"All up." The handsome man waved his hand and came to the girl with great interest, and watched her cautiously pull her out of the water tank and fall to the ground, so he naturally reached out to help. "Carefully!"

"There is labor."

The deceased was curled up like a fetus, his head and black boots were wet, his eyes were suddenly opened, and his face was faintly red and black, which was extremely terrifying.

The cooks were so frightened that they desperately dodged back, holding their mouths to death, and finally they couldn't stop the sour water churning in their stomachs, and they rushed out of the door one by one and vomited violently, and it took a long time to barely crawl back again......

The two postmen held back, but their faces were extremely ugly.

The girl's eyes fell on the face of the deceased and everywhere in the body, and she frowned slightly.

"How?" He noticed something unusual.

"This man didn't drown."

"How?"

"Although the deceased did not see blood coming out of his mouth and nose because he was immersed in water, his eyes were open and his face was covered with blood, and he was so stuffed that he was forced to die of his breath."

As soon as the words of the cold girl came out, everyone changed color.

…… was suffocated to death by a mouth and nose, that is someone committing murder?

"But he doesn't know how long he's been dead in the tank, so why didn't he drown?" Nan Jiyun was terrified, and he didn't want to believe that there was a murderer in the post station they were guarding no matter what!

"If you drown before death, your mouth should be closed, your eyes open and close, your hands clenched into fists, your face is red, your mouth and nose are foaming and blood, and your abdomen is distended and beating."

The girl skillfully took out a pair of sheepskin gloves and a white handkerchief from her pouch, tied her mouth and nose, and gently touched and examined the neck, chest, abdomen, and palms of the deceased. "Because he was not dead at that time, people wanted to fight for their lives, and the qi and veins choked back and forth into the intestines, and the water entered the intestines......

The handsome man's eyes flashed. "What else?"

"If the deceased is suffocated and drowned by someone who is vigorously pressed into the water tank, in addition to the traces mentioned by the right person, the person will struggle violently to resist under the driving force of survival instinct, and there will also be scars or bruises left by rubbing the water tank or the edge of the water tank on the palms, chest and abdomen, and even the nails may turn up, and the flesh and blood will blur."

She took out a small roll of parchment from the seemingly inexhaustible pouch, and when she opened it, there were more than a dozen intricately crafted objects, and selected them, and examined the nose and throat of the deceased...... Glancing at the water tank without any scratches or bloody fingerprints, he said

"But although his ten fingers have light bruises, they are generally intact, so it can be seen that the man was dead before he was thrown into the water tank."

Everyone looked at this cold and beautiful girl who looked at the corpse in amazement and fear, as if she was drinking water, but how could there be a woman in this world?

The handsome man also asked. "You're a puppet?"

"Puzhou Judicial Army." The glamorous girl finally raised her eyes to look at him, her expression calm as before. "Humble Zhuo Shi Niang, see your lordship."

"You're Zhuo Shiniang?" The handsome man nodded, a glint of admiration in his eyes. "I've heard of you."

The glamorous girl frowned.

The handsome man smiled and counted them. "Zhuo Shi Niang, the daughter of Zhuo Sheng, the former commander of Zhechong Mansion, was in the fourth year of Zhenguan, and went to the battlefield with her father at the age of twelve in the Battle of Yinshan, and attacked Yinshan at night with the commander Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, and broke the Eastern Turks...... Six years later, she joined Puzhou as a judicial officer and joined the army, and solved seven major cases in three years, which is a rare woman in the world."

Everyone looked at this slender, cold and heroic girl, and never thought that she would be the Mulan-like heroine who amazed the world back then.
