Chapter 1 Hewei Ancestral Hall
The ninth day of the first month of March.
Longwei County, Hewei Village.
Ancestral hall at the end of the river, at dusk.
The sun rises and the sun rises, and the ancestral hall at the end of the river has already sunk into the night, but today it is a little abnormal, the oil lamp is bright, and three 'uninvited guests' are ushered in, from the 'disaster and strange division' that makes people smell and change.
Compared with the catchers who have been entertaining for three days, these three adults who are also from the county seat seem a little strange.
If it weren't for Zhang Zhukuai's great enthusiasm and the hint of jealousy in his eyes that could not be hidden, it was really unbelievable that the three people who seemed to be dressed casually on the wild monk Youdao actually rushed over from the Yasi who had to make a detour.
A person dressed as a monk, the scar on the smooth and bright head has fallen, it should be the image of a monk with kind eyebrows, but it is a bitter and bitter expression of deep desire and dissatisfaction, living like a man who loses money in a casino, he almost takes a sip, bad luck.
Dressed as a Taoist priest, he looks a little handsome and terrifying, even if he searches the entire Hewei Village, he is afraid that he will not be able to find a more beautiful mother-in-law than him, let alone those rough men.
However, this person is not as elegant as a master, but has a kind of malaise that has been hollowed out by wine-colored wealth, and the bags under his eyes are huge, and he is even a little black.
The last person is dressed normally, but this normal dress, compared to the other two, is a little bit unworthy of the word 'disaster and strange division'.
The appearance is not as handsome as Confucianism, but he is extremely heroic and masculine, which makes people can't help but want to praise, a good man should sigh like this.
With this skin, I expected that he would be a high-ranking official if he was not a general in the future, but he was born in the end, but he was a little like a follower.
As soon as the monk entered the ancestral hall, he was a little scolding and scolding, looking extremely impatient, the Taoist priest looked at Zhang Zhukuai with unspirited eyes, Zhang Zhukuai hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "The three of them came from the county hard, and I didn't want to trouble the three, but this fact is strange, I'm afraid it's ......."
Zhang Zhuhai lowered his voice and told the strange things that had happened in Hewei Village in recent days, but his eyes always fell on the normally dressed heroic man in the back, who looked a little embarrassed.
The Taoist priest understood, and handed over lightly, "A new colleague." ”
Zhang Zhu nodded quickly, and then withdrew his gaze.
The employment scheduling of the disaster department is different from the normal yamen, there is no increase in one person in half a year, and a few people in a month have also heard that there is no need to interact too much, the most important thing is to recognize a familiar face, and do not offend, otherwise, even if you die, you don't know how to live.
If it weren't for the fact that the case in Hewei Village was too weird, Zhang Zhukuai didn't want to have any contact with these three people, so it was originally only a half-day trip, but it took more than a day for these three people to arrive, and he didn't dare to be the slightest dissatisfied.
"The smell of rouge, I'm afraid these three didn't just come from the county to Goolan, right?"
At this time, there were six people in the ancestral hall, in addition to the four who were standing aside to talk about the case, there was also an old man with a cane chattering on the ancestral tablet, and a sturdy man supporting the old man.
What is more eye-catching than these six people is that there are four straw mats in the center of the ancestral hall, the straw mats are moist, bringing out a large pool of water, and on the straw mats, there are four swollen corpses.
The four corpses were pale in complexion, swollen and soaked in clothing, apparently drowning, and the water on the straw mats was caused by dripping from the clothes of the four corpses.
The monk and Taoist priest were not surprised, but the heroic man's eyes widened, as if it was the first time he had seen this situation, in addition to being shocked, he was even a little afraid.
"Old village chief, these three are the masters who rushed over from the Disaster Division, you come to tell the three adults about the specific experience. ”
Zhang Zhu said hello, and the old man came back to his senses, and walked over with a cane supported by a strong man, "I've seen three adults, I don't know three adults, how do you call them?"
"My surname is Lin, you can call me Lin Tianshi. You can call this bald donkey Master Bajie, this is Lord Yan. ”
The Taoist priest who claimed to be Lin Tianshi had no strength to say, and the old village chief of Hewei Village saw them one by one, and then sighed, "If this kind of thing hadn't happened, the old man really didn't want to mention it, but it was an ugly thing in my Hewei Village!"
"This matter starts from the third day of the third month of March, which is the Shangsi Festival. ”
On the third day of the first month of March, this is the traditional festival of big entropy, whenever it comes to this day, the villagers will go to the river and stream to bathe together, called 'Yuanxi', which means to wash away the filth, welcome the auspicious atmosphere, and even the larger villages, county seats, there will be special sacrifices, banquets and other programs.
On this day, the villagers of Hewei are still the same, and many people go to the river to 'bathe', of course, not completely take off their clothes, but just to ask for a sign.
Men splashed water and frolicked in the river, while women and children washed their hands by the river, wetting their clothes at will.
Just when the villagers were having a good time, a few people screamed, and the old village chief was at the scene, and went to meet the voice, but he saw that the villagers had surrounded him, and he panicked at the two corpses that had been recovered.
I thought it was the young lady who was salvaged, and I wanted to blame them for making a fuss, but I didn't expect it to be ......," the old village chief sighed, his shoulders trembled, as if he remembered something terrible, and his back looked even more disgusted.
"Young lady?"
The Bajie monk who was called a bald donkey wondered, listening to the words of the old village chief, this young lady should be the body that was salvaged?
glanced at the hardcover man who supported him, the latter's eyes were already red, and just when the monk Bajie guessed that it should be a singing and crying love story, the old village chief spoke again, "The young lady is the woman who was immersed in the pig cage by us for stealing a man a few days before the Shangshi Festival and sank into the stream. ”
The expression of the monk Bajie was suddenly a little embarrassed, but fortunately he didn't ask, look at it like this, this strong man Bacheng is the master of the grassland above his head.
Lin Daoshi glanced at Zhang and arrested quickly, dipping the pig cage is a lynching, strictly speaking, it can even be arrested and punished, but this kind of thing is repeatedly prohibited, so the yamen mostly turns a blind eye, after all, it is usually done by the whole village, and the law does not blame the public.
And this matter is not under the control of the disaster department.
"The young lady steals people, this is the scandal in our Hewei Village, which made the three adults laugh. ”
The old village chief was a little ashamed, and said with a wry smile: "But even if the young lady is recovered, there should only be a corpse, because when the adulterer was caught, the adulterer escaped." ”
"I was a little surprised when I heard that there were two corpses, and when I saw them later, I was even more frightened and turned pale. ”
"The two corpses were tied up in the pig cage, and the method of binding was exactly the dead knot of the pig cage. Although the corpse is not a young mother, it is also my Hewei villager, but they are not husband and wife. ”
"But after the young lady, we have never caught a rapist, nor have we ever dipped in a pig cage again!"
