Chapter 138: Murderous Intent
The problem of food was solved, and Song Qingyou began to think about other plants, but as a genius doctor, she had no problem doing surgery, and growing vegetables was a black eye, thinking about consulting the farmers in Kushui County, but found that they didn't know many vegetables, so they could only look forward to planting and sighing.
In the space, Song Qingyou looked at the magical vending machine in front of him, holding a silver ingot in his hand, and said to himself: "Vending machine, vending machine, can you give me a book of agricultural knowledge." With that, he put the silver ingot in.
The vending machine screen kept flashing white light, and all kinds of things that were out of the era were swept one by one, and with the increase in Song Qingyou's redemption times, many new things were unlocked, many of which she had never seen In the end, the light was finally fixed on a pair of dolls.
Taking out the doll from the pick-up port, Song Qingyou carefully looked at the attached manual: the stand-in doll can be incarnated into the appearance of the owner, and the effective time is 24 hours.
It's a very magical thing, which makes Song Qingyou have mixed feelings - the joy is that with this thing, if there is any accident in the future, he will be more sure, and the worry is that agricultural knowledge is urgently needed.
Just thinking about whether to do it again, Song Qingyou vaguely heard Xiao Qishu calling her.
Xiao Qishu knocked on the door, "Are you there?" ”
Song Qingyou opened the door and raised his eyes to see several officials standing behind Xiao Qishu, one of whom was Fang Cheng's number one dogleg.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Qishu pointed to the two behind him and said, "Fang Cheng said that he found the murderer of arson, and you can be regarded as a victim, so he sent an official to find you and ask you to identify it." ”
Caught so quickly? Song Qingyou was surprised that Fang Cheng's efficiency was so high this time, just if there was nothing to do, let's go and see.
Song Qingyou and Xiao Qishu followed the official messenger to the yamen, and when they entered the door, they saw a young man with a sharp beak kneeling in the middle, his hands tied behind him with ropes.
"Your Majesty Raise Your Head!" Fang Cheng shouted.
The young man was frightened and shuddered, and looked up with difficulty, it was a face that Song Qingyou had never seen at all.
"Do you know that arson is a felony, and if you burn a granary, the crime is one more degree!"
"I ...... I ...... "The young man couldn't say a word for a long time."
Song Qingyou felt wrong and asked, "Where are you from?" ”
Without Fangcheng's intimidating youth, he was finally able to speak, and replied, "Feng County." ”
"Bold!" Fang Cheng suddenly pulled out his official knife and pointed at the young man, "Lying about your household registration is also punishable!" ”
Where has the young man seen this formation, and he kowtowed and said, "The villain doesn't dare!" The villain doesn't dare! ”
Feng County, like Kushui County, is a barren land, Song Qingyou has met a lot of Feng County homeless people along the way from the exile in the capital, all of them are indeed the same as this young man, the cheeks are yellow and thin, and the accent is the same.
Song Qingyou understood, Fang Cheng was looking for a scapegoat casually.
Fang Cheng continued to extract a confession: "Do you have any objections to the case of arson and burning down the granary in the middle of the night? Without waiting for the young man to speak, he summoned the civil official on the side, handed the recorded confession to the young man, and asked him to sign it.
"Wait!" Song Qingyou snatched the confession, "This person is clearly not a citizen of Kushui County, maybe you don't even know where the granary is, why did you hastily convict him!" ”
Fang Cheng pretended not to understand Song Qingyou's doubts, insisted on the conviction, and said: "The prisoner himself has already confessed his guilt, how can he be hastily convicted!" ”
"No way!" The last thing Song Qingyou can see as a doctor is that he doesn't take human life seriously, and argues with reason: "Fang Cheng, you are in such a hurry to close the case, could it be said that arson has something to do with you?" Here you thief shout thief catch thief! ”
"You talk nonsense!" Fang Cheng is in a hurry, the county lord will come back in a few days, if he can't find the murderer who burned the granary, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be punished for a crime of lax management.
Song Qingyou slightly remembered Xiao Qishu's words before, and in an instant, he understood the reason, and squinted his eyes, "Fang Cheng, are you afraid that the county master will come back and treat you for offending, so you are in such a hurry to close the case." ”
Fang Cheng, who was poked in the center of thought, began to jump to his feet, "Nonsense! How can you spew blood! ”
"Oh?" Song Qingyou smiled, "Then you dare to wait for the county master to come back for another trial!" ”
When I heard that the arsonist was caught, many people came to see the excitement, and now everyone was watching Fangcheng and there was no way to reverse black and white, so he had to order him to be imprisoned and wait for the county magistrate to come back for a retrial.
After all, the young man's life was saved temporarily, and it was imminent to find the real murderer.
"This damn Song Qingyou!"
Fang Cheng began to be furious when he got home, and after smashing a set of teacups on the table, he was still angry, and kept cursing.
"The old man is angry." Xiao Ningning took a new pair of cups, brewed the defeated tea and handed it to Fang Cheng, and asked, "What did Song Qingyou's untouchable do?" ”
Fang Cheng, who smelled the fragrance of tea, finally came to his senses, gritted his teeth and said: "I finally found a scapegoat, but that slut did a good thing for me!" Now that the murderer who burned the granary has not been found, seeing that the county master has returned, he will have to be taught a lesson again. ”
Xiao Ningning filled the teacup again, and said seemingly unintentionally, "Wouldn't it be nice if the county master didn't come back?" ”
Another ten days have passed, and during this time, Song Qingyou has been constantly adjusting his medication, and the last few old people in Kushui County who have been sick because of the plague have also completely recovered their health.
The old granary site that burned down was also completely cleaned and new ones were built, and although there were losses, fortunately, some of the later ripening ones filled the vacancies, and on the whole everyone was happy.
Fang Cheng also received the document of the county order, and there were still two days to go before he could enter the boundary of Kushui County, which meant that he was going to meet him, and this move was in the heart of Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng came to Yamen a day in advance, ordered a trustworthy confidant, and was ready to go to meet the county master.
Kushui County has been in the office for many years, but because of the mistake of standing in line in the early years, the official position has not been promoted, but this time he was suddenly called into Beijing, although the emperor only said a few words, but it was enough for him to be happy.
Not to mention that the news of the famine in Kushui County and the control of the plague came to the emperor in Beijing after it was another reward, and it was only after coming back this time to understand the ins and outs of the matter clearly, it was finally come out.
Before stepping into the boundary of Kushui County, the county master saw Fang Cheng and the others who had been waiting for a long time.
When the county order carriage approached, Fang Cheng bowed and saluted: "My lord has worked hard all the way, it is better to rest here for a while before leaving." ”
Naturally, the county magistrate was not in a hurry when he returned to his own territory, and seeing that it was not too early, he agreed to come down without thinking about it.
Fang Cheng waved his hand, and the henchmen behind him immediately lit a fire on the spot and started cooking, and after eating the white rice, the county commander's heart was even more happy, why not be promoted in the long run.
