Chapter 3: The Snow-White Female Corpse
Du Ruo was praised and flattered by those people all the way to a spacious house, and then a lot of snacks and good tea were served, and a rich and kind person actually mentioned kissing her directly!
And, it's still to propose to his daughter in the boudoir!
Du Ruo was anxious to explain, but he couldn't interject at all, and he was so anxious that he turned around, but fortunately, a distinguished guest who was in the house at that time had sharp eyes and saw that Du Ruo was a girl dressed as a man, so he helped her successfully break the siege.
Later, Du Ruo also learned from other people's mouths that there was a tradition of "catching sons-in-law under the list" in the capital, and every time the palace test was released, the rich and noble families in the city would send people to guard the place where the list was released.
At that time, Du Ruo was also faintly surprised, after all, she went to the exam all the way, except for her acquaintances, no one saw her daughter's body, only a handsome scholar with a slightly thin body.
On that day, the distinguished guest of the staff family saw through the truth at a glance, and he could really be called a torch.
What I didn't expect was that this person turned out to be the captain of the light car stationed in Songzhou.
Ye Yuanzhou arched his hand and smiled: "Du Sima doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture." The last incident can still be regarded as a joke by mistake, I don't know why Sima is in danger this time?
Could it be that before he took office, Sima was targeted by the enemy at the boundary of Songzhou? ”
When asked about this, Du Ruo put away Fang Cai's politeness, and the expression on his face became grim.
She shook her head at Ye Yuanzhou, and said with a straight face: "Du Ruo has just arrived, and the domestic servants who accompanied him are still halfway there, and there are no half acquaintances in this Songzhou territory, let alone the enemy.
That day, I was just listening to Dr. Tea in a teahouse for a while, using some refreshments, and then I went out of the teahouse, and I didn't go far, when I passed an alley, I smelled a strange fragrance, and then I woke up again, and I was put in a sedan chair, and carried to the wilderness. ”
Du Ruo roughly talked to Ye Yuanzhou about how he woke up that day and how he got out, and then asked: "Listening to the meaning revealed between the words of the person carrying the sedan chair, they should already be familiar with this kind of work, and I don't know how many women have been kidnapped."
I wonder if Ye Duwei has heard of any disappearances in Songzhou since he was stationed in Songzhou? ”
"I've never heard of that." After listening to Du Ruo's story, Ye Yuanzhou's expression looked extremely solemn at the moment, "Du Sima said, you were carried by someone in a sedan chair that day?" ”
Du Ruo nodded, Ye Yuanzhou frowned, thoughtful.
"What does Captain Ye know?" Seeing this, Du Ruo hurriedly asked.
She asked, but she didn't have much hope in her heart.
The founding of the country was started by military generals, and since Emperor Taizong, I don't know if it is because of this experience of his own family, successive emperors have become more and more jealous of military generals, and finally formed the current atmosphere of emphasizing literature and light martial arts, and the Chinese courtiers of the court are in charge.
Don't look at Ye Yuanzhou, the captain of the light car, is a military general on the fourth grade, but in fact, he doesn't have much power in his hands, not so much an official position, but a honorable officer, which is essentially not much different from the title of "Mrs. Command".
It's just a "high hat" with money but no real power.
How much can such a "vase" meddle in local affairs?
Ye Yuanzhou shook his head: "I haven't heard of this kind of thing before, but I just heard that Du Sima was kidnapped in a sedan chair, so I thought that these gangsters should be specially kidnapped young women."
Then I remembered that about half a year ago, there was a strange case of an evil family in Pingcheng County, which is attached to the county of Songzhou Prefecture.
Someone stumbled upon a female corpse in the woods outside the city, unusually thin, her skin was pale and blue, bloodless, and even her hair and eyebrows were all snow-white.
The villagers were shocked, thinking that they had encountered some monster, and they made a fuss, alarming the soldiers of the garrison of my Folding Mansion.
At that time, I was also taken aback when I saw the corpse, but after it was handed over to the state government yamen, I heard that after I had examined the corpse, I said that it was no different from ordinary people except that it looked strange and terrifying on the outside. ”
Du Ruo also felt very strange when he heard his description: "This is indeed an unheard of strange thing, but why did Ye Duwei mention such a case?" ”
At first, the woman couldn't find her way out, because she was so thin that she barely had the appearance that a person should have.
I heard that the daughter of the family went out to wash clothes more than a year ago, and then disappeared, and the people in the village couldn't find it with help, so I had to give up.
At that time, the neighbors thought that the woman had a private relationship with someone and eloped, but they never thought that after more than a year, they would become like that. ”
Du Ruo was taken aback, this kind of strange thing had indeed been unheard of before, let alone seen before, it did sound extremely weird.
The man who carried the sedan chair that night did mention that they had made up enough before, but because a woman died suddenly, they took themselves back to make up for the head.
From this point of view, Ye Yuanzhou thought of that strange case from the sedan chair, which makes sense, and whether there is some kind of connection between the two is indeed worth exploring.
"I don't know if this strange case has been decided by the state government yamen?" Du Ruo thought about it and asked Ye Yuanzhou.
Ye Yuanzhou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, it is still unresolved."
Lord Yang of Benzhou Thorn Shi, who is also Du Sima's future official, is generous and benevolent, but he is old, and it is estimated that he will be a senior in a few years, and he will return to his hometown to retire, so it is inevitable that he will lack a little energy to do things......"
Du Ruo understood what he meant, and although Ye Yuanzhou's words were euphemistic, she also learned about the temper and temperament of her own Shangguan, Lord Yang of Benzhou.
Good and inactive.
So she smiled and said, "Thank you Ye Duwei for the order!" Since this is the case, then after I take office, I should naturally share more for Yang Tingshi!
When the time comes, if you really check it, maybe there is anything else that needs to be bothered by Ye Duwei, Du Ruo has thanked you in advance! ”
Du Ruo had already calculated an account in her heart at this time, she thought that she was also a person who couldn't rub sand in her eyes, and this time she was lucky to get out of the hands of those wicked people, but she still had palpitations when she thought about it, as a state Sima, she must not allow this kind of villain to get away with it.
It's just that in the area of Songzhou, she is not familiar with the place, and when it comes to her Sima, she is actually not much different from Ye Yuanzhou's captain, and they are all official positions with greater glory than real power.
It's all about one place, and it's the hardest thing to kick the first three kicks.
At the moment, this Ye Duwei can be regarded as a coincidence to help him twice, and he looks like a cold and upright person.
In any case, making such a friend for yourself first will also benefit you in the future.
