Cangzhou 3
Zhuo Shiniang's expression was calm, and she did not have any arrogance or pride, "The lowly position is a child of the Tang Dynasty, and it is appropriate to protect the family and defend the country and solve the case and arrest the murderer, and I can't stand the word strange woman."
The handsome man's eyes were even more appreciative, and he said with a smile: "You Aya is well-known for being brave and good at fighting, and you are a famous general in my Tang Dynasty.
Zhuo Shiniang frowned, a little uncomfortable being praised, and immediately brought the topic to this case. "My lord, the 'Mountain Bird Station' is located on the border of Puzhou, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but if there is a murder, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Puzhou Thorn History Mansion and the county order of Yuxiang County.
I heard that Zhuo Shiniang is known as the cold-faced jade Shura, and at first sight, it was indeed the case.
…… This is barely patient to push him!
"Zhuo joined the army, since it was a murder, it was naturally a matter of the Criminal Department." The handsome man's eyes flashed with a smile, and he straightened his expression, and took out the silverfish bag from his bosom as evidence. "Below, Pei Xingzhen of the Criminal Department."
Zhuo Shiniang's cold and beautiful eyes finally fluctuated faintly. "—Pei Shilang?"
"Zhuo Senjun has also heard of Pei?"
Zhuo Shiniang frowned again, but still bowed respectfully. "See Pei Shilang for his humble duties, Pei Shilang is the official of the Criminal Department, so he naturally has the right and responsibility to stay and investigate the case."
"Humble Nan Jiyun, see Pei Shilang!"
"Humble Hu Da, see Master Pei!"
"See, see Master Pei'......"
Everyone hurriedly rushed to salute, but they really never dreamed that their small and remote "Mountain Bird Station" would come to two big people at once, especially Pei Shilang......
Even the post soldiers in these small places have heard that the Pei family is the prime minister of all dynasties and has the highest number of scholars...... The adult in front of him is extremely beautiful, with a graceful demeanor, and at a glance, he knows that he is a famous and noble son in the capital, standing high on the top of the mountain among the clouds, and they can't afford to offend these officials and people.
Nan Jiyun thought that Shicai's tone was so bad, and he couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for himself.
Pei Xingzhen waved his hand, "Handling the case is the most important, do you know the deceased?"
Several of the cooks swallowed their saliva and quickly shook their heads.
"The villain doesn't recognize it."
"This person is very raw, the villain has never seen it."
Nan Jiyun looked at the face of the deceased on the ground, as if there was a trace of hesitation.
Pei Xingzhen noticed. "Nan Jiyun, do you know him?"
"Back to your lordship," Nan Jiyun said hesitantly, "this person...... It seems familiar, but I can't remember when I've seen it."
"Think again."
"Why?"
Hu Dagui shrank aside, his eyes flickering slightly.
"Hu Da, what about you?"
Hu jumped up in shock and stammered, "Humble duty...... I don't remember it."
Pei Xingzhen's phoenix eyes were deep and sharp, and he seemed to be smiling rather than smiling. "So coincidentally? It's all familiar, but I can't remember it?"
At this moment, the obese middle-aged post man Luo Fan hurriedly arrived, sweating profusely. "Master Pei, I heard that something happened in the back kitchen......
Pei Xingzhen looked at Luo Yicheng. "If someone dies, the official wants to see the coupon book of the post station for these two months."
All those who enter and leave the post house must be recorded.
Luo Yicheng said yes again and again. "Oh, yes, the lower official will order someone to get it."
"Xuanji, you accompany me."
Among the two young fierce guards, the man with thick eyebrows, high nose and deep contours and dark and blue eyes respectfully accepted the order, and then said to Luo Yicheng, "Yicheng, please."
Luo Yicheng's face was a little nervous, "Don't bother your lord, the lower officials can call someone to fetch it at will...... Hu Da, you can run—"
"Whoa." Hu Da was suddenly named and hurriedly responded.
However, just when Hu Da's steps were in a hurry and walked out, Xuanji also quietly followed.
The guards under Master Pei's command went to get the coupon book together, which shows that they don't trust themselves...... Luo Yicheng wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Pei Xingzhen.
Luo Yicheng could only rub his hands and said uneasily: "Master Pei, it was only because the subordinates were not strictly guarded that outsiders were allowed to enter the post station......
"Luo Yicheng hasn't seen this person either?"
Luo Yicheng was so flustered and frightened that he only dared to glance at the dead man on the ground in a hurry, "That, that's nature. Don't hide it from Master Pei, the "Mountain Bird Station" is located in a remote area, and there are not enough people, and in the past, there were also those homeless people or bastards who came in and wanted to steal cakes or food, but the lower officials still punished them several times before they could barely control it, who knew that the heavy rain in the past few days had caused these people to drill the leak."
Zhuo Shiniang, who had been silently inspecting the corpse on the side, suddenly spoke. "It's not what you say."
Luo Yicheng didn't expect a girl to slap him in the face so directly, he wanted to get angry but didn't dare, so he had to ask with his neck. "What is the point of joining the army?"
Zhuo Shiniang was unaware of his grievances, and pointed out them directly. "The deceased has a tiger's mouth and a callouse in his palm, but it is not sharpened by a long training weapon, but it looks like a trace left by riding a horse for a long time and pulling the reins."
"In addition, this man is sturdy, his middle coat is made of silk cloth, ironed to fit his body, and although his face is weathered, there is no bitter groove all over the color, and he is obviously well-fed and well-fed, so he is not a homeless or a bastard as you allude to."
Luo Yicheng blushed, and he could only reluctantly excuse himself. "The lower official doesn't know anything about criminal cases, and there have never been life lawsuits in the post station in the past, so this is a dizzy nonsense, and Zhuo Senjun can listen to it at will."
"It's a murder case, please think twice before you speak, so as not to mislead the case." Zhuo Shiniang lowered her head and used a small iron ladle to take out the yellow and white foreign objects between the deceased's fingers, and said calmly.
Her tone was frank and without any emotion, but Luo Yicheng was stuck in her abdomen in one breath, and it was easy to touch her nose and admit it
"Xiaguan...... The lower officials should keep it in mind in the future."
The corners of Pei Xingzhen's mouth raised slightly, he could naturally see that this Zhuo Niangzi was talking about things, but it was such a straightforward word, which made the old fritter post say that he was suffering.
These posters are accustomed to talking to people and talking about ghosts, and they are as smooth as loaches, and they are most sycophants, but today they met Zhuo Niangzi, a person who is business-oriented and one-eyed, and it is enough to choke.
Pei Xingzhen asked the cooks, "Who found the deceased first?"
A few cooks, you look at me, I look at you, and hurriedly said
"Adults, after the small people prepare for the morning meal, they will still leave one person to watch the stove, but today there is not enough firewood, this thief is God...... Ahem, it rained for several days, and the little men went to the cellar of the back storehouse to find some old firewood."
"And then?"
"Who knew that I finally picked and searched a car and came back, and I was about to scoop a ladle of water to drink, but I found that the cylinder head was missing...... When I looked down, I saw that there was a ...... in it Dead man—vomit—"
