Zhou Xin said slowly: "The matter was reported to the county government, and the county Huang County ordered the trial of the case, but when he conducted an autopsy, he found that the wound on the chest of the corpse was white and fleshy, and there was no blood shade, which was the trace of blood clotting, although there was a knife on the clothes, there was no trace of blood. According to Mr. Cheng, is this strange thing?"

Cheng Sansi raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Xin, and asked, "Huang County Order, but is it the county commander in front of the door who condescended to see him?"

Zhou Xinying said: "Exactly." ”

Cheng Sansi asked again: "I heard that this Huangxian Ling is the tall foot of Lord Zhou, and he usually likes to study the art of interrogating cases and breaking prisons, especially for the Song Dynasty's "Collection of Grievances", which can almost be memorized?"

Zhou Xindao: "That's right. ”

Cheng Sansi said: "It is recorded in the "Collection of Records of Clearing Grievances" that all blade wounds before death have blood juice, and the wounds are shaded with blood, and the wounds are full of blood and bright flowers. If the wound is cut with a blade, the flesh will be dry and white, and there will be no blood. After Guyin's death, his blood was not good, and he was white in the color of his flesh. ”

Zhou Xin said: "This is exactly what is recorded in the book, and Huang County's order also examines the body based on this, so as to determine that the family of Changgong faked the wound after Changgong's death, in an attempt to falsely accuse the rich and extort money. ”

Cheng Sansi nodded and said, "In this way, there is nothing wrong with it, what do you think is the doubt?"

Zhou Xin said: "Looking at the autopsy, there are no mistakes or omissions, but what makes Zhou suspicious is the confession of a servant in this rich family. The domestic servant claimed that before the case, he had inadvertently made a mistake and mentioned to the man the scandal between his wife and the long-term worker. ”

"Mr. Cheng, please think about it, since the man has learned about this ugly thing, he must be angry and investigate this matter thoroughly. But his face remained the same, and he only did not believe it, and did not even say a word of evil. On the contrary, two days later, he suddenly invited the long-term worker to drink for no reason, and the long-term worker died suddenly at the banquet. How could this be such a coincidence?"

"It makes sense to say that this man is deeply thoughtful, the city is very deep, and he kills people to vent his anger because of his resentment, but the knife wound on the corpse clearly does not look like it was caused before his death, and this assumption is overturned. ”

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, those who make false accusations should sit back, and now the family members of the long-term workers have been imprisoned, and they will be charged to the army as soon as the approval of the criminal department arrives. Life is at stake, Zhou felt that this case was quite suspicious, but he couldn't find fault with it, thinking that Mr. Cheng happened to be in this county, so he took the liberty to come to seek advice. ”

He bowed deeply to Cheng Sansi and said, "For the unjust souls of the dead, for the sake of the living who are not wronged, please also ask Mr. Cheng to give advice." ”

Cheng Sansi listened to his story, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "To talk about it, the record of the "Collection of Grievances" on which the Huangxian order is based is naturally not wrong, but ......."

At this time, a voice like a silver bell sounded, and continued: "However, it is not impossible to make the wounds caused before death as white and flesh as those caused after death, and there is no shade of blood. ”

It was Cheng Sansi's daughter who spoke, Cheng Nianzhen.

When Zhou Xin heard this, he was not excited, and asked eagerly: "Oh, what can I do?"

Cheng Nianzhen thought about it and didn't answer, but asked instead, "Where is the body now?"

Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Cheng Sansi.

Such a beautiful little girl like a flower and jade suddenly mentioned the corpse and avoided it by such an ordinary woman

It's a bit of a surprise to be afraid of what you can't do.

Cheng Sansi smiled and sighed: "My baby daughter, who has been with me since she was a child, is used to seeing birth, old age, sickness and death, and is also an expert in autopsy and autopsy. ”

Zhou Xinyan was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Because the body is evidence of false accusation, it has to wait for the approval of the Criminal Department, so it has not been processed yet, and it is currently parked in the county office." ”

Cheng Nianzhen nodded and said: "This is very good, only by personally examining the body can we confirm the conjecture in the little woman's heart." ”

At this time, Zhang Fatzi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly sat up, glared at Cheng Nianzhen and said, "What?

Cheng Nianzhen glanced at him and said, "I'm just finding out the truth and helping those innocent people who have been wronged, so why don't I help anyone?"

Zhang Fatzi said hurriedly: "But ......"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Sansi on the side slapped him on the shoulder: "But what? But your injuries are not all healed, and you still have the leisure to take care of other people's affairs! Do you think you are like the big black man at the door, with thick skin and rough flesh, and your injuries are getting better quickly? Why don't you lie down obediently for the old man!"

Although Zhang Fatzi is not in shape, but in the face of the world-famous miracle doctor Cheng Sansi who treats his injuries, he didn't dare to disobey at all, stuck out his tongue, and quickly lay down according to his words.

Cheng Nianzhen turned his head to Zhou Xin and said: "Lord Zhou, it is getting dark at this moment, saving people is like fighting a fire, so let's hurry up and go to the county office to check the body." ”

Zhou Xin nodded again and again, and the two walked out of the room.

When he was about to leave the room, Zhou Xin turned around, and his eyes happened to meet the gaze of Zhang Fatzi lying on the bed.

Although Zhang Fatzi didn't speak, his eyes still revealed deep hostility towards Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin sighed deeply and said to Zhang Fatzi: "Zhang Gongzi, I know you don't like Zhou someone, but please speak from your heart, Zhang Gongzi, you are so worried about Zhou's impeachment of Lord Xia Yuanji back then, is it really for the sake of those victims?"

He asked word by word: "If Xia Yuan Guitar was not the father of your brother-in-law Xia, would you still care so much about this matter and be so hostile to Zhou?"

After speaking, Zhou Xintou walked out of the room without looking back and walked out.

In the room, the fat man was lying on the bed and felt uneasy.

Yes, if Xia Yuanji wasn't the father of Xia, the righteous boss of their "Four Youths in Beijing", would he still stand on the side of Lord Xia without hesitation and hate Zhou Xin?

Perhaps, from the very beginning, he has unconsciously stood up because of this identity, which really has nothing to do with his hearsay, those so-called victims who died in vain.

It seems that after all, people are still emotional animals, and feelings determine your position and starting point, not entirely by rational thinking.

And this Zhou Xin does look like a good official who is dedicated to the public and the people.

Perhaps, he thought he was just a sanctimonious hypocrite who was just a fame and reputation, and only thought about his reputation and official reputation, but he actually misunderstood him?

Zhang Fatzi couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt for Zhou Xin in his heart.

But soon, that guilt turned into a wave of resentment.

This Zhou Xin, as expected, is worthy of being a spokesperson, and he is good at maneuvering

People who are right and wrong, eloquence is really good!

Just when Zhang Fatzi was still feeling indignant in his heart, Zhou Xin and Miss Cheng had already walked out of the door of the inn.

At this time, it was already dark, and the people who were watching the excitement around had already dispersed, only Huang Xian Ling and a few catchers around him still had a bitter face, stupidly waiting in front of the door of the inn.

Zhou Xin couldn't help but smile in his heart when he saw this student with a bitter face, so he ordered them to hurry back to the county office first, and prepare to inspect the body of the long-term worker again.

Huang Xian Ling stood stupidly in front of the inn for a long time, seeing that the teacher had entered the inn and not coming out for a long time, he didn't dare to leave without permission, and his heart was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Now I suddenly saw my teacher come out, and told me to go back to the county office to prepare for another autopsy, although I didn't understand why they had to insect the body again, but I was finally able to leave the door of this damn inn, and my heart was naturally still a hundred willing.

Seeing Huang County order them leave in a hurry, Zhou Xin came back to his senses and said to Cheng Nianzhen: "There is the official's sedan chair at the street in front, Miss Cheng still invites them to get on the sedan chair, and we will rush back to the county office." ”

Although the emperor advocated frugality, almost all officials in the capital did not take a sedan chair when they went out, and most of them used horse-drawn carriages to travel, but it was in the capital, under the nose of the Son of Heaven, it was still necessary for officials to pretend to do superficial work.

But once out of the capital and in the locality, it is still necessary for the officials to go out and take a sedan chair, which is a symbol of an official's face and status.

Although Zhou Xin does not approve of these, since he has become an official in the local area, he is inevitably vulgar, and he naturally has to take the official sedan chair when he goes out.

He let Miss Cheng get on the sedan chair and walk, which was originally a good intention, but unexpectedly, Miss Cheng rolled her eyes at him and said: "Do you think that this girl is one of those daughters who is hidden in the deep boudoir, pampered, and weak?"

With that, he walked in the direction of the county office.

Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment, thinking that although this miracle doctor Cheng Sansi has the best medical skills in the world, his strange temper is also famous, and his ordinary behavior is often unexpected, and he can't be measured by common sense.

Now it seems that if there is a father, there must be a daughter, and this Cheng girl is also quite fatherly, and her speech and demeanor are so unexpected, which is very different from ordinary women.

Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, hurriedly followed, simply stopped sitting in the official sedan chair, and walked together in the direction of the county office.

At this time, it was already dark, and the road leading to the county government was not a lively place, and there were not many pedestrians during the day, and at night there were no people passing by, and it was deserted.

The moonlight was not very bright tonight, and it was a little dark all around.

Zhou Xin has always been a stiff and rigid person, there is a difference between men and women, and he is not good at talking to the young girl rashly along the way, but he really can't think of any topic, so the two of them just buried their heads and walked without saying a word.

Suddenly, the two of them stopped in unison, because they both clearly saw three men in black standing in the middle of the road in front of them!

The three of them were dressed in night clothes, and their heads and faces were covered by a black cloth, and the blackness almost blended with the darkness around them, and it was difficult to distinguish them without looking closely.

The reason why Zhou Xin and Cheng Nianzhen were able to see them at a glance was not because of their good eyes, but because the three black-clothed people were holding a bright steel knife in their hands!
