Bang!

There was a thunderous explosion, lightning pierced the sky, and landed on a big tree on the outskirts of Chang'an, splitting the tree to black!

On the Chunmingmen Street of Chang'an City, the pedestrians who sheltered from the rain took refuge under the eaves of the fang wall to avoid the rain, and then looked at the mighty funeral procession of hundreds of people, beating gongs and drums to swagger through the market.

There was a solemn whiteness everywhere!

As the saying goes, the rain hits the coffin for ten years, and the rain sprinkles the grave out of the nobles. Whether or not to send a funeral on this rainy day is actually very particular. When the coffin was carried, the coffin was wet with rain and was unlucky, but after the burial, it rained again, and it became particularly auspicious.

The pros and cons of the rainy funeral can be described as "one mind". The family who sent the funeral covered the coffin tightly and buried it in this rainy day, hoping that the family would have a "great nobleman".

Before it was time to get off duty, Zheng Shuqing, who quietly skipped home from Dali Temple to fish, held a green bamboo umbrella and watched the funeral procession pass by near the Vermilion Bird Gate. Then he asked the young servant who had come to take him back to his house, "Whose funeral is this?" ”

"Hui Ah Lang, it's Mrs. Qin's."

The servant smiled mysteriously and replied with a look of cheapness.

"Mrs. Qin? Which lady? ”

Zheng Shuqing was stunned for a moment, and he didn't come back to his senses yet.

He is now a Dali Siqing, and there are really not many women who can enter his eyes and hold the title of "Mrs". After he finished speaking, he remembered who the woman was in the mouth of the servant.

"Which one else can it be, it's any handsome young man, the lady of Qin Guo who can sleep with her, Yang's family, Yang's family."

The servant replied in a flirtatious tone.

"Speak well! This official is kind to you on weekdays, and you even kick your nose in the face! ”

Zheng Shuqing scolded, this personal servant has been talking nonsense there, and he hasn't reached the point for a long time! Does he care about Mrs. Qin's style of life?

He's not good at that!

Of course, Zheng Shuqing didn't say that he didn't like women, but Mrs. Qin Guo had played with Brother Ji, and becoming a "fellow believer" with the Son of Heaven was a disaster many times. Such a woman, staying away, is the best choice. Do not provoke and do not offend.

But Zheng Shuqing has also heard that this Mrs. Qin not only likes handsome young men, but also has ambiguous affairs with many officials in the DPRK and China!

Most of those officials also adhered to the idea that "I will sleep with the woman who has slept with the Son of Heaven, then I will be equal to about half the Son of Heaven", and they have a private relationship with Mrs. Qin Guo.

In this case, it is the same as the kind of person who attends the birthday banquet of the Son of Heaven and feels that he is in the same circle as the Son of Heaven.

"Ah Lang, this kind of thing, the slave heard it, and he didn't dare to talk about it."

The servant said with an aggrieved face, and showed a desire to suffocate if he didn't speak, which made people want to beat him up when they saw it.

"It's okay, you tell me quietly."

Zheng Shuqing patted him on the shoulder and whispered, suddenly interested.

The government affairs of Dali Temple are really boring, dealing with those files all the time, and the whole person is moldy. As soon as he heard the servant's words, Zheng Shuqing knew that there was "no inside story" here!

"Ah Lang, I heard that this Mrs. Qin Guo is a bit of that with Master Huizhen of the White Horse Temple...... Not a very general relationship, the lower body kind. ”

The young servant said excitedly, making a lewd gesture. The cacophony of heavy rain obscures the possibility of eavesdropping, and it's a great place to speak privately even though you're outdoors.

"And then?"

Zheng Shuqing asked with a puzzled face, he didn't know what these two people were doing, he just didn't understand what Mrs. Qin's death had to do with that Master Huizhen.

"Ah Lang, this is not then, but a month ago, Master Huizhen passed away in the White Horse Temple. At that time, the slave didn't follow Ah Lang to the White Horse Temple to pray for good fortune, and the slave wandered around the White Horse Temple when he had nothing to do, and he heard someone whispering in the temple, saying that Master Huizhen died in his prime, but he actually had a disease.

Someone in the temple saw him taking a bath, and his whole body was covered in rotten sores.

Ah Lang said that this Mrs. Qin Guo is probably over thirty years old, will she also have rotten sores all over her body, and she will be sick with Master Huizhen? ”

The servant said with a curious look of inquiry.

"Well, indeed, it's not impossible."

Zheng Shuqing replied casually, and somehow, he suddenly remembered that Fang Chongyong was here.

When that guy returned to Chang'an from Shazhou, Zheng Shuqing wanted to give his beautiful maid to the other party to warm the bed. Men, how can they think that they have too many concubines, concubines are just goods.

As a result, that guy kept saying that unknown women are not safe, men should clean themselves, messing around is easy to get sick and have sores all over the body, and it is you who will suffer when the time comes.

At that time, Zheng Shuqing listened casually, and he just mentioned it, and the two chatted while drinking, but they didn't care. Now that he thinks about it, Zheng Shuqing suddenly realized that Fang Chongyong was not talking nonsense?

This Hui Zhen, but the famous "flower monk" in Chang'an, has an unspeakable erosive relationship with many Chang'an ladies. He and Mrs. Qin Guo can be said to be half a catty and eight taels, and they are both fierce people.

Could it be that some noble lady passed on this rotten sore disease to Hui Zhen, and Hui Zhen passed it on to Mrs. Qin Guo?

Zheng Shuqing fell into deep thought, and his face gradually became serious, and he no longer regarded this matter as a joke.

Sun Simiao mentioned this "rotten sore" in "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions", and there are many medical books that say that this disease has something to do with men and women. To say that these are all coincidences, is that also too much of a coincidence?

Hui Zhen had an affair with Lady Qin, and Lady Qin had an affair with a saint. The first two are already dead, so will the saint ...... Got this disease too?

Zheng Shuqing suddenly fell into an ice cave, and his body was cold!

He didn't care about taking shelter from the rain near the Suzaku Gate, so he hurried home. However, Zheng Shuqing was surprised to find that Gao Lishi was actually sitting upright in the hall of his house, his face was calm and unsmiling, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept Gao Nei waiting! The lower official did not expect the high chamberlain to visit, guilty of sin! ”

As soon as he saw Gao Lishi, Zheng Shuqing hurriedly stepped forward to confess, he knew from this posture that it would be good for the other party to come to him.

"Zheng Zhengqing, when you are on duty, go out, so that our family can find a meal. I can't find you, our family has to come to your house and wait, don't you mind our uninvited guest, right? ”

Colliers asked.

"Alas, where is this a high servant, the saint's entrustment is not forgotten for a moment. Xia Guan's health is not good today, so he went home early to rest, and there will be no shortage of files that should be done. ”

Zheng Shuqing had a flattering smile on his face, and his posture was extremely low, and he was a saint in one mouth.

Gao Lishi himself didn't come to find fault on purpose, so he glanced at Zheng Shuqing. The latter understood, and hurriedly said: "This is not the place to talk, please go inside the high housekeeper, and talk about it in the study." ”

The two came to the study and sat down, Gao Lishi looked at Zheng Shuqing, who was a little nervous and even at a loss, and slowly spoke: "The sage has great trust in Zheng Zhengqing, not only his character, but also the prudence of being an official. ”

His words were in a fog, Zheng Shuqing had no choice but to salute with his hands crossed: "Thank you for the saint's love, and it is difficult for Weichen to repay in case." ”

"Huh? That's not what he said, how could it be difficult to repay in case, isn't Zheng Zhengqing's opportunity to serve the saint now? ”

Colliers said slowly.

"If Gao Neishou has something to say, he may as well say it bluntly, Weichen is willing to smear the saint's liver and brain, and he will not hesitate to do so!"

Zheng Shuqing immediately expressed his loyalty and said.

Subconsciously looking around, Gao Lishi slowly came over and said: "Forget it, Zheng Zhengqing will go to the cemetery in the south of the city with our family now, and then stop a certain burial team and open the coffin for autopsy!" It's inconvenient for our family to show up, so you can handle this matter. Those who do not agree to open the coffin can go directly to Dali Temple Prison, no matter who it is or how big the official position is. ”

"This kind of thing ......"

Zheng Shuqing immediately realized why Colliers couldn't do this in person.

Not only because his appearance is easily reminiscent of the Son of Heaven, but also because Zheng Shuqing himself is the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, a person who specializes in investigating cases, and he is investigating big cases!

He handled this matter in the name of investigating the case, which was a "matter within his authority," and no one could find fault with it.

As for what reason to find to investigate the case, I'm sorry, I have no comment. Dali Temple Zhengqing is only responsible for the sage, and even the prime minister can theoretically ignore it, and there is no direct correspondence between the two powers.

What is the identity of a melon-eating crowd who dares to question the official position of Dali Temple Zhengqing in Sanpin?

Those who obstruct the handling of the case will be dealt with by the same party, and there is no need to explain to you what case to handle.

"Gao Neishi, it's not that the lower officials don't want to do this thing, but the contemptible people don't know how to perform an autopsy, what if something happens wrong when the time comes."

Zheng Shuqing defended with a tangled face, trying to pretend that he didn't know about these things at all. In fact, he had already guessed the truth of the matter.

All, all.

"You don't need an autopsy, you just need to look at the characteristics of the corpse, and you can do it with eyes. Zheng Zhengqing wrote them down, made them into a dossier, and handed them over to our family directly. ”

Gao Lishi said with a gloomy face, and he didn't give Zheng Shuqing a chance to refuse at all! Having said that, if Zheng Shuqing dares to refuse, he will die in an accident.

"Understood, the lower officials must do it well. Is there anything else Gao Nei inquires? The lower officials did it together. ”

Zheng Shuqing nodded slightly, and asked very intimately.

"Mrs. Qiuguo's mansion, Zheng Zhengqing will find a way to search it. Well, you have to find a way to search her body, check her body, her body...... Is it similar to the characteristics of Mrs. Qin's corpse?

Zheng Zhengqing, don't ask too much, then you will know what our family means. ”

Seeing that Zheng Shuqing was very good, Gao Lishi hinted very explicitly, and almost opened the mystery.

This is actually a matter of indifference, because since the case was handed over to Zheng Shuqing to investigate, the latter must be a deep insider, and it is impossible to hide it from him.

"Please rest assured, the lower official's mouth is very strict, and no one will say it. Even if the right minister wants to kill Xiaguan's entire family, Xiaguan will not spit out half a word to the outside world. ”

Zheng Shuqing hurriedly said loyally.

Gao Lishi was pleased with his humble attitude, then nodded slightly and said, "Let's go without further ado." Our family has prepared a team of divine forces for Zheng Zhengqing, and whoever dares to be stubborn can be killed directly. ”

"Understood, please rest assured."

Zheng Shuqing suppressed the fear in his heart and said, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

……

The rain gradually subsided, and somewhere in the cemetery in the south of Chang'an City, a beautiful female corpse lay quietly on the ground, letting the raindrops fall on it. On the fair skin, there are irregular markings one after another. Hands, arms, thighs, chests, and even faces, all the same.

Under the firelight, Zheng Shuqing's face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

Although this is expected and reasonable, when the mystery is officially solved, I can't help but shudder and fear.

This feeling is similar to the fact that their children have disappeared at home for more than ten years without explanation, and parents have long judged in their hearts that their children are unlikely to be alive, but they still fantasize that they are still alive. The moment the mystery is revealed, it is the moment when the parents are hysterical or relieved.

Zheng Shuqing wanted to cry now, but he couldn't cry, he knew that he was in big trouble.

I also know that Datang is in big trouble!

"Inform the family members of Mrs. Qin Guo to bury the body, the official has already checked and has not found any clues."

Zheng Shuqing confessed to the head of the Shence army who was watching the excitement on the side, and then walked towards the Chang'an City Gate.

Sure enough, Gao Lishi was dressed in a white brocade robe, an ordinary small businessman, and had been waiting at the city gate for a long time. As soon as they met, Colliers asked in a deep voice, "How?" ”

"Nothing unusual, except for a few markings on the skin......"

Zheng Shuqing pulled up his sleeves, exposed his arms, and drew circles on his arms with his fingers.

"Understood."

Colliers nodded slightly.

If he didn't know what the answer was, then Zheng Shuqing's words were like chickens and ducks, and he didn't describe what he meant at all.

If Colliers had a preset answer in mind, then he only needed one action from Zheng Shuqing to get a confirmation of "yes" or "no". From this point of view, Zheng Shuqing has said too much.

"Mrs. Qiuguo's side, the lower officials will verify it as soon as possible."

Zheng Shuqing said in a low voice, now that he knows the mystery, there is no need for Gao Lishi to remind him otherwise.

"As soon as possible, our family will go back to their lives."

Colliers nodded slightly, not saying anything more. Zheng Shuqing is a smart person who knows what can and cannot be done.

Returning home in despair, Zheng Shuqing came to the study, asked the maid to make tea, and drank three bowls in a row, only then did he calm down.

Why did Colliers pay so much attention to the death of Mrs. Qin?

I'm afraid the answer is in Xingqing Palace, it is the death of Mrs. Qin Guo, which made the person in Xingqing Palace understand something!

Will Chang'an City set off a storm because of this incident?

Zheng Shuqing took a deep breath, and his face became extremely gloomy.

He suddenly found that he seemed to be in danger of being killed, and he had to prepare for it!
