Xu Jing couldn't help but glance at the young man in front of her.

This new county commander not only looks down on women, but also stammers with low self-esteem and sensitivity.

No wonder Xiao Yi had to pave the way for her before he left, this new county order was a bad one at first glance.

Xiao Yi looked at the man in front of him with slightly cold eyes, but he didn't accuse him of what he said, but said: "Deng Youwei, in the twelfth year of Tianxi, passed the imperial examination, and then stayed in Xijing, waiting for the ministry to be ordained.

However, for three whole years after that, the officials did not grant you a single official and a half position, but the same Jinshi as you were all working in various yamen, do you know why? ”

Deng Youwei was stunned for a moment, his face turned even redder, and he said with an annoyed and disappointed face: "Xia, Xiaguan has always admired Xiao Shilang very much, thinking that Xiao Shilang will be different from those people......

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled sarcastically: "So, do you think that the officials have never given you an official position because they look down on you as a stammer?" ”

Deng Youwei's cheek muscles were tense, and his eyes were full of humiliation and unwillingness, obviously thinking so.

Xiao Yi suddenly, his voice sank, and said: "Deng Youwei, you have read the sage books for so many years, and you know the saying that heroes don't ask where they come from, if the imperial court really looked down on you as a stammer, they would not have let people with disabilities take the imperial examination in the first place."

Since the founding of the Great Chu State, the Holy Lord has always been eager to seek talents, as long as there are talented people, regardless of background, past, and wealth, they are all talents needed by the Holy Lord.

Do you think that the officials did not grant you an official position because you were stammering, but they questioned the good intentions of the Holy Emperor to set up the imperial examination? ”

Deng Youwei's face was staggered, pale, and he hurriedly said: "Xia, Xiaguan is not ......"

Xiao Yi didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued to say coldly: "I know that you are not such a person, but you are blinded by your physical defects and inferiority, and you can't see your real problems and real advantages.

Deng Youwei, I can tell you clearly, as early as a year ago, I noticed that when other people were trying to get acquainted with the powerful and flattering, you disdained to be in the company of those people, but you often went to the major yamen to inspect the situation, went deep into the people to understand all kinds of people's livelihood and suffering, and wrote two articles on how to improve the work of various yamen and better meet the needs of the people.

I and the saint have personally seen those two articles, and you will come to Anping County to serve as the county magistrate this time, which is also the result of my recommendation to the ministry. ”

Deng Youwei looked at Xiao Yi with a shocked expression, obviously it was the first time he had heard about it.

"The reason why the Ministry of Officials has not granted you an official position for three years is because you are not familiar with the officialdom and are sophisticated, high and arrogant, but being upright and upright is not a big problem, it should be said that the imperial court needs more officials who care about the people like you, but if you can't survive in the officialdom, no matter how much ambition you have, it's just empty talk."

Xiao Yi said lightly: "But I think that because of your temperament, I can give you a chance, so I recommended you to the officials, you said that I looked down on you and deliberately humiliated you, but I can't afford such a crime." ”

Deng Youwei had a pale face, fell to his knees with a pop, and said in a trembling voice with his forehead: "Yes, it is the ignorance of the lower officials......

Xiao Yi looked at him condescendingly, and the words he said were heartfelt, "I recommend Xu Niangzi to you, which is no different from recommending you to the officials."

The Holy Chosen One can ignore your origin, past, and wealth, but just because she is a woman, you preconceived contempt for her, thinking that I brought to humiliate you, how is your behavior different from those who look down on you just because you are a stammer? ”

Deng Youwei trembled all over and was completely speechless.

Yes, he grew up hating people who laughed at him and looked down on him just because he was a stutterer.

But how is his behavior different from those people?

It's just that what women do is really unheard of and unseen! Does that woman really have that ability?

Xu Jing looked at the man beside him with some surprise, and for the first time really felt that this man was a well-known young talent in Dachu, and an important minister of the imperial court who held a heavy position at a young age.

Such a person has been staying in Anping County, and he is indeed a talent.

The center of power in the imperial city closest to the lord of the world is where he can display his talents.

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he didn't look at Deng Youwei, who was still kneeling on the ground, turned to the woman on the side and said, "The deceased is over there, if the has no objection, let's start the autopsy." ”

Xu Jing immediately put away some scattered thoughts, nodded and said, "Okay, I don't know if Xiao Shilang can help me bring something for the autopsy?" ”

In modern autopsy, in order to facilitate the inspection and analysis of various signs on the corpse, the corpse is generally moved back to the professional dissection room for dissection.

But in ancient times, there was no need to be so particular, and the autopsy was conducted directly at the scene of the crime, and the details of the scene were analyzed together, and maybe more problems could be found.

When Xiao Yi heard this, he looked at Meng Anhe, and Meng Anhe immediately said: "Bring it, bring it!" I said why Xiao Shilang asked me to bring everything from the for the autopsy this morning, I had already planned to ask the to come over to help! ”

As he spoke, he handed Xu Jing a plain bag that he was carrying.

Xu Jing opened it and saw that her usual tools were all inside, and she couldn't help but raise her lips with satisfaction, looked at Chen Hu and said, "Chen Hu, prepare for an autopsy." ”

Chen Hu immediately responded excitedly, and very skillfully spread two pieces of white cloth next to the deceased, one of which was used for Xu Jing's usual tools, and the other was empty, which was used to temporarily put various things.

Immediately afterwards, he lit up the atractylodes and soaphorns, and suddenly, the stench of the crime scene was dispelled a lot.

During Chen Hu's preparation, Xu Jing had already put on gloves and a face towel, and then stood up by himself, jumped twice like a rabbit and walked to the side of the corpse, slowly squatting down.

Because she acted too suddenly, Xiao Yi didn't react, and watched her jump over.

But I saw that the deceased had been removed from the hole in the tree and laid flat on a makeshift wooden bed made of improvised wooden planks on the ground.

The deceased, as Xiao Yat said, was naked, and had already shown a serious view of giants, his limbs were covered with a network of corrupt meridians, and his lower body was blurred with flesh and blood, which was unbearable.

Fortunately, although it is located in the mountains and forests, because it is close to the village where people live, there are few wild beasts nearby, so the body of the deceased is fortunate not to be bitten by wild beasts and is intact.

In the eyes and ears of the corpse, there were already clumps of white fly eggs, and there were many white wriggling maggots crawling on the face that was severely deformed and could not see the original appearance.

Originally, there were many flies around the corpse, but when the prefectural officials first arrived, they had already been expelled by fire, and since the atractylodes and soaphorns were ignited, many flies around the corpse have also been expelled.

Rao is like this, the corpse on the ground still makes many officers feel uncomfortable, and when they see Xu Jing leaning over with a calm face, they can't help but be slightly stunned.

When I saw her touch the corpse directly, my eyes were about to pop out.

Xu Jing had already entered the state of work, and said lightly: "The deceased woman, about five feet tall (160cm), has many scars and bruises on her body, most of which are pre-mortem injuries, indicating that the deceased had fierce resistance before being killed, the zombie has been completely relieved, and maggots have appeared on the body, and the longest maggot is about ...... long."

She picked up one of the longest insects with tweezers, and motioned to Chen Hu on the side to measure its length with a soft ruler.

Chen Hu looked at the fat insect who was struggling under Xu Jing's tweezers, and then looked at Xu Jing's eyes without any emotion, Rao had already cooperated with Xu Jing to examine the corpse several times, but he still couldn't help twitching the corner of his eyes.

He took a deep breath, quickly picked up a soft ruler and quickly measured it, and said, "The insect is about 0.5 inches (16 mm) long." ”

Xu Jing nodded and said, "It is preliminarily inferred that the deceased died about four days ago. ”

Entomology can indeed be used to determine the time of death of the deceased, but because the development rate of flies is affected by its species and environment, it is necessary to obtain eggs from the deceased, simulate the scene environment for culture, and then compare them with the insects found from the deceased at the time of the crime.

Xu Jing can only calculate an approximate time of death based on the similar situation in the past.

But this was enough to shock Deng Youwei and the other errand officers.

You must know that when Wu Cheng did the autopsy, he said that because the corpse was too seriously decomposed, he could not determine the specific time of death, and could only roughly estimate that the deceased died two or three days ago.

And as soon as this spoke, she gave a number that was much more accurate, and said, this is just a preliminary inference?!
