Xiong Dajing drank wine last night, quarreled with Xiong Yaohua a few words, coughed up blood and injured his lungs, and he fell ill. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info lying alone on the bed, his face was gray and black, and his whole body was as hot as coals.

At breakfast, Xiong Yaohua informed the two adults of the situation.

Lin Fanghe thought for a while and said, "Then let's not leave for the time being, and rest for two more days." It just so happened that Tang Yu and I went to the barracks today to examine Zhu Yichen's corpse - Lord Fang and Hou Jiannai, the envoy of the prison army, are fellow villagers, have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, and have a deep friendship, and they also want to visit——"

Fang Qinyu nodded yes.

Xiong Yaohua interjected: "So I will stay in the inn and take care of my uncle." ”

Lin Fanghe agreed, and instructed the shopkeeper Xiao: "I will have to trouble Miss Xiao in a while, go to the town to ask for a doctor." Come back and give the old gentleman a good pulse. ”

"Okay. Shopkeeper Xiao agreed.

After breakfast, Tang Yu left twenty taels of silver for Shopkeeper Xiao, and then took out a few horses. The three of them turned on their horses and went straight to the military village.

The military village of Weisu is in the north of a town nine miles away from the county seat of Wu County.

Along the way, I saw that the carriages and horses were gathered, and the people were densely populated.

When they came to the gate of the military village, Lin Fanghe and a few people dismounted and walked up the stairs along a steep mountain road. Master Fang and Tang Yu followed closely. Halfway up the climb, Tang Yu couldn't help but look up, the most dangerous choke point in the high place was the gate of the military village. The fort tower is towering, and the iron cannons on the wall are staring down at it.

On the edge of the tall pheasant moat, an officer in armor patrolled.

A few people arrived in front of the gate, but the soldier had already gotten off the fort, quickly walked in front of him, and said respectfully: "This road is bumpy, and the two adults have worked hard to come. The humble duty is here to welcome you. ”

But it was Gu Ming, the Chinese army who met at the dock that day.

Gu Ming turned around and ordered a few words to the soldiers on duty, and when the sergeant heard that a guest was coming to visit General Liang, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led a few people into the village.

A few people entered the gate and climbed four or five steps, only to hear a loud bang behind them, and the soldiers on duty had closed the iron gate and hung up a heavy lock.

Lin Fanghe and a few people followed the soldiers up the stone stairs and came to the head of a yahall.

The soldier went to the brass rings of the two vermilion mallets and tapped them lightly, and the door opened, and out came two tall and stout military academies.

The sergeant reported: "These people want to see the chief soldier Liang......"

When the military academy heard about it, he immediately led Lin Fanghe and Tang Yu to the main hall of the yahall. Fang Qinyu was led by another soldier to visit Hou Jian, the military envoy.

When the general Liang heard that someone was visiting, he hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Zuo Shilang is coming, and the small village is shining." I'm afraid that the place is too small to stop, and the end will be waiting here for a long time. ”

Lin Fanghe smiled: "Why be polite." ”

"Wronged two. General Liang smiled all over his face, and ordered the military academy that led the way, "You two have the right to step down, and I will entertain the adults here." ”

The two stout cadets stepped back.

The two walked into the main hall and sat down.

The servant offered tea and respectfully withdrew.

Liang Zongbing was wearing a robe and sat upright on the Taishi chair. Raising his hand to greet him, he asked, "Lord Lin is here, don't you have something important to do?" ”

Lin Fanghe had met him a few times, and knew that the general soldier had a violent temperament and didn't like to twist and turn, so he got straight to the point and said: "General Liang, there was an incident of a criminal hanging himself on the battleship. The leader of the bandits, Zhu Yichen, died, I wonder if you have heard about it?"

"I've heard of that. General Liang's sharp eyes swept the two people present, and said briskly, "In my opinion, a thief will die if he dies." If he doesn't commit suicide and die, he will inevitably be stabbed in the neck in the future...... Why, adults are interested in this?"

Lin Fanghe muttered: "The lower officials have been exposed to many cases, and it is easy to develop a habit over time. It is to pay attention to observation and obsessed with details. I saw that Zhu Yichen's face was pale, and there seemed to be blood oozing from his nostrils and eyes, which did not fit the symptoms of suicide and death......"

Liang Zongbing slapped his thigh and laughed: "My lord, there is still such leisure and leisure? He is full of evil, and he commits suicide in fear of crime, what else is there to investigate? You didn't see the death of the flying general, and it was even more miserable, and he was hit by more than a dozen bullets." One of them hit the center of the eyebrow, and the flesh was blurry—"

Lin Fanghe frowned, and said, "Water bandits are also people." In this country's laws and regulations, which official regulations are not strictly formulated? Rao is like this, and the gangsters and traitors are still doing everything possible to find flaws and exploit loopholes. I am disturbed that this matter will not be implemented......"

General Liang shook his head: "Strictly speaking, this kind of thing should be solved by the military camp itself." Isn't it, even if you are a Beijing official, you have no right to interfere with and intervene in the official affairs of the military village?"

Lin Fanghe glanced at him and said with a smile: "The general may not know something, I went to Beijing this time and was ordered to investigate the case, and I have obtained the permission of the current emperor." Give the oracle and have the right to act cheaply. If you don't believe it, you can ask the governor of Suzhou or Bingbeidao, or directly ask the Wuwei general Yin Liufang......"

Mr. Liang sighed, nodded and said, "Why bother? I don't believe Lord Lin." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, walked out of the gate, and said to the guarded military academy: "Take this adult to see Shi Bingcao and examine the body of a prisoner." ”

The military academy promised.

led Lin Fanghe and Tang Yu out of the government hall and came to a stone house. There were four sergeants guarding the door of this house, and when they saw that it was the chief soldier's cronies, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The military academy stepped forward and tore off the seal on the door, pushed the door open, and said, "This is the place where the corpse is temporarily parked, you two can take a look at it." ”

Lin Fanghe stepped into the threshold and slid his eyes to collect the furnishings in the room.

There are three wooden beds parked by the window in the middle of the room.

The beds are covered with white sheets.

Tang Yu also immediately walked over, stood in front of Lin Fanghe, bent down, and stretched out his hand to uncover the cloth sheet of the first wooden bed, and below was a soldier with a black face and black beard. The abdomen was exposed, and a wolf's tooth arrow was inserted. Covered in blood, he had been dead for a long time. Both hands were still gripping the shaft of the arrow.

Lin Fanghe shook his head.

Tang Yu put down the white cloth and walked to the second bed. Lifted the sheet, frowned, the corpse behind it was even more terrifying, not only a leg was amputated from under the knee, but even half of the head was missing!

Purple blood coagulates, and muscles and flesh are hideous.

When the two of them turned their heads to look at the third plank bed, they were stunned. Although this bed is covered with a white cloth, it is frank and empty, not to mention the dead, I am afraid that there are not even a few hairs!

Lin Fanghe immediately summoned the soldiers who were guarding and asked one after another: "There should be a corpse here, a person surnamed Zhu who was just brought in yesterday? )
