Chapter 6 Seeking Death and Knowing the County
The winter rain is dripping, mixed with the cold wind, cold, cold, and unspeakably uncomfortable.
This rain seemed to have Liu Yanchang's head, and gradually, the entire Ziyang County was shrouded in rain.
Liu Yanchang opened his eyes, finished his practice, wiped a handful of rain from his face, his hair and clothes were also wet, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his body. Fortunately, his physique is different from ordinary people, and he will not catch a cold and fever because of a winter rain.
As for Cui Wan'er, she was even more unaffected by the rain, and she was still immersed in cultivation, as if she had reached a critical moment.
Liu Yanchang didn't dare to disturb and looked up at the sky.
In rainy weather, the dawn time is always much later. Although the sky still looks very gloomy, Liu Yanchang knows that it is definitely not far from dawn, and he must rush back to Wang An's house as soon as possible, so as not to worry his sister.
"Old Liu, Wan'er will take care of you. If she wakes up, tell her not to move around and I'll come back to pick her up. Liu Yanchang said to Juliu, as the saying goes, "eat people with a soft mouth, take people with short hands", he has now got such a big benefit from others, this favor can not be helped, but also has to help.
"Got it!" the giant willow stretched his muscles, and became more verdant and green under the moisture of the rain, which was very eye-catching. You know, in the early winter, which willow tree is not bare, I am afraid that only the willow tree that has become a monster will be evergreen all year round.
The wicker of the giant willow swayed with the cold wind, as if he had received some news from the wind, and said: "Little friend, the magistrate of Ziyang County is now in the Nanshan Inn and needs help, this is a rare fate, you must not miss it!"
Liu Yanchang was stunned for a moment, it seems that this giant willow has the legendary clairvoyance and ears, but this may be a skill unique to grass and tree spirits. As Juliu said, the roots of plants and trees in the world are entangled, connected to each other as a whole, and what they see and hear is shared with each other, which is a bit like the Internet.
After being reminded by Juliu, Liu Yanchang said goodbye and left, and secretly returned to Wang An's house.
After a night of recuperation, Zhu Tongchen finally woke up, but his body was still very weak. Seeing Liu Yanchang coming to visit him, he even sued again and again, scolding himself for having no eyes, black and white, and smashing the jade bracelet given to her by Kou Sanniang.
Liu Yanchang hurriedly stopped: "If Brother Zhu doesn't want it, why don't you send it to the next?" He also wanted to find Kou Sanniang's whereabouts and inquire about the murder case of Shui Mangcao, this jade bracelet is a clue, how can it be damaged casually?
Zhu Tongchen said: "If Brother Liu wants it, take it." I was going to go to the county seat with you, but now I can't. When I have recovered my body and received a vow from Baixian Nunnery, I can only say goodbye again!"
Zhu Tongchen handed over the jade bracelet, and wanted to get up and salute and confess. Liu Yanchang hurriedly stopped: "I wish my brother a good life and cultivation, Ziyang County is not big, we are destined to meet again!"
Liu Yanchang said goodbye to Wang An, drove the carriage, took Liu Qiaoyun to make a detour to the south, and went directly to Juliu Town. First, Cui Wan'er is still practicing with Juliu, and he can't abandon it; second, the icing on the cake is easy, and it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, if you can help him when the magistrate of Ziyang County is in trouble, it will be of great benefit to complete the entrustment of Juliu in the future.
Liu Qiaoyun saw him drive the carriage all the way to the door of the Nanshan Inn, and said puzzledly: "Brother, don't we have to rush today? What are you doing at the inn?"
"It's raining too much today, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, I'm afraid that the horses won't be able to stand it, so I just rest for a day and wait for the rain to stop before leaving!" Liu Yanchang casually made up a reason.
Liu Qiaoyun didn't really want to spend this unjust money, but when he saw the innkeeper coming forward, he said with a smile on his face: "The guest officer, please, the livestock will follow me to the back door and take care of the backyard horse shed!"
She had no choice but to get out of the carriage, and Liu Yanchang pulled the carriage and followed the little maid into the backyard.
The backyard of the inn is very secluded, and as soon as I led the horse into the door, I saw a person hanging from the stable in the yard. A belt was tied to the beam of the stable, and the man hung silently, motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Seeing this, the little servant scolded angrily: "Bad luck, it's really bad luck! Take you in the stable for the night, even if you can afford to look up to you, you are still looking for death in my store!"
Liu Yanchang didn't bother to pay attention to this little guy, threw away the reins in his hand, and rushed towards the stable. His movements were as agile as a tanuki, and he stepped a foot away, suddenly looking like a light skill on the rivers and lakes.
Liu Yanchang stepped across the small courtyard in two steps, got into the stable, grabbed the man's feet and sent him up, withdrew his head from the belt hanging from the beam, and then placed the man on the hay pile.
When Liu Yanchang touched the man's neck, he felt that the major arteries on the neck were still beating slightly, and the temperature of his body had not completely receded, indicating that he was only in a hypoxic coma, and there was still a glimmer of life.
It's early winter, and the dead man will get cold very quickly, and since his body temperature is normal, it means that he has just hanged himself.
Alas, it's just that this man can't think of anything, and he wants to commit suicide······
Liu Yanchang was thinking about it while giving him cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and after a while, he only heard a large number of noisy footsteps coming. Don't think about it, it must be the shopkeeper of Nanshan Inn.
The shopkeeper stepped forward, without saying a word, and scolded Liu Yanchang: "Who are you, how can you destroy the scene casually? Now if someone from the government comes, how can you let me explain it clearly?"
Liu Yanchang ignored him, and only waited for this person's heartbeat to stabilize before he turned around and said coldly: "No matter what, you should put human life first, you want to take your own responsibility, but you disregard the lives of others." You are here in an inn, but you let the guests sleep in the stable, why do you say that this person is so good and decent, why should he commit suicide, is it for you?"
"I don't, you don't want to spew blood!" The shopkeeper was anxious and angry, looking like he had eaten the bitter gall of a pig. He never thought that Liu Yanchang would be beaten upside down, and there was no good thing in the county's fast arresting officials, so he had to break the fortune and avoid disasters again.
Liu Yanchang also wanted to scare and scare him, from a small servant to a shopkeeper, no one cared about this person's life or death. If you really care about it, bend down and take a breath, you will know that this person is not dead at all, so why should you be in a hurry and be frightened with a white face?
Liu Yanchang saw that he was still scratching his ears and cheeks there, thinking about how to settle this matter, and he didn't feel angry. It's just that everyone in the world is like this, it is their nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and no one can change it, so they can only say angrily: "He's not dead yet, you quickly find him a room, and send someone to invite a doctor over!"
"He's not dead yet, it's good that he's not dead!" The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this, how much money can it cost to ask the doctor to see a doctor? If you wait for the official messenger to come, I am afraid that you will have to shed your skin if you don't die, and the officials in Ziyang County are all famous, and they are all greedy tigers and wolves!
After the inn carried the people away, Liu Yanchang found a bag in the hay pile, which contained two sets of shabby robes and casual clothes, which were cleaned despite patches. In addition, there is also a seal ribbon, which is engraved with several seal characters, which are "Quanzhi Ziyang County Seal"!
Liu Yanchang was shocked, the person who hanged himself turned out to be the county magistrate of Ziyang County? How could a county magistrate fall so far and end up hanging himself?
