Master Luo Cao

There was a loud bang, the door of the cell was pushed open vigorously, Zhao Siyi's eyes had not been opened in a daze, but someone grabbed him by the collar and dragged him outside the cell. In the popliteal cavity, Zhao Si let out a scream, knelt down on the ground involuntarily, raised his head, the bright light blurred his eyes for a while, and it took him a while to get used to it.

In the brightly lit place, the young magistrate was sitting on a chair, with his dog-legged master standing beside him, both of them stared at him with stern faces.Zhao Si rubbed his nose, grinned and said, "Oh, isn't this the magistrate, how can a busy person like you come to me in the middle of the night when you have time?"

"Why did you look for you?" Kou Luoche said coldly: "Zhao Si, you have been fattening up in the prison for a few days without any harm. Why, have you forgotten why you came here?"

"Mr. Kou can really talk nonsense with his eyes open." Zhao Si picked his nose without looking, then flicked his hand, and said casually: "With the food in your prison, the rats will starve to death. It’s just that I’m strong and strong-willed, and I can carry it... let’s not talk about it, heh,” he raised an eyebrow at Kou Luoche, “Could it be that you came here on purpose this time to acquit me?”

"Acquitted?" Kou Luoche sneered, walked up to Zhao Si and knelt down, reached out and patted his cheek, "Zhao Si, you murdered in public, the evidence is solid, and you still think that you can be acquitted? I am Should I call you naive, or should I call you stupid?"

Zhao Si squinted at Kou Luoche with cold eyes, and said, "Master Kou, don't you want to spray people with blood? The evidence is solid? Where is the evidence?" He sneered, "You can't even find the body, and you dare to say that I killed someone? This group of dog officials is so reckless about human life..." Zhao Si was stunned suddenly, his lips were tightly pursed, and he stared at the direction of the prison door.

There were two yamen servants, one behind the other, carrying a stretcher and walking towards here. On the stretcher lay a man. He was wearing a white robe that doctors often wear, and his face was covered with a white cloth. , the arms hanging on the sides were stiff, obviously it was already a corpse.

Fu Yunshu's voice rang faintly beside his ears, saying: "Zhao Si, guess who that is?"

Zhao Si's complexion changed instantly, the blood on his lips faded away, and sweat dripped down his forehead. He was stiff for a while, then suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Maybe the magistrate wants to tell me , this person is Shen Xun, right?"

Fu Yunshu asked back: "You don't think he is?"

"Shen Xun is not dead...he must not be dead..." Zhao Si with difficulty retracted his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and looked at Fu Yunshu coldly, "Since he is not dead, he will not be a cold corpse. "Suddenly grinned, revealing two sharp canine teeth on the left and right, and said with a smile: "The magistrate of Jiuhe county has been reduced to using this method to deceive me like a local ruffian?"

Fu Yunshu looked at him and remained silent.

"Since you don't know him, then do you know this?" Kou Luoche said, taking out something from his sleeve, a jade pendant tied with a red string, dangling from left to right in front of Zhao Si's eyes.

Zhao Si stared blankly at the jade pendant, as if his soul had been captured suddenly, and all the spirit suddenly lost in his eyes. After a while, he smiled and said, "I don't know it."

Kou Luoche quietly turned his head and looked at Fu Yunshu.Fu Yunshu frowned slightly, and shook his head helplessly.

Zhao Si suddenly laughed, stood up and was about to rush towards the corpse, Kou Luoqiao stretched out his legs and tripped lightly in front of his feet, Zhao Si fell into the mud and stood guard. The yamen servants on one side rushed up immediately, holding Zhao Si firmly from left to right.Zhao Si tried his best to struggle to no avail. He raised his head, his long hair was disheveled, his face was stuck to his face with sweat, and his eyes were already dyed red. Against the backdrop of the dim light, he looked like a maniac, and shouted at the top of his voice, "I don't know this bastard!" Son! Shen Xun! Get up and tell me yourself! I’m fucking in prison here for you, so you’re fine, show me your death, right? Didn’t you say you would hide and hide well? That’s him Mom, how are you?!" Cursing and cursing, he suddenly burst into tears, the naughty boy cried into a wronged child, tears streaming down his face, he lost all his strength for a moment, fell softly to the ground, and said sadly: "Shen Xun, don't die..."

This situation made those who heard it sad and those who saw it cry. Fu Yunshu was tired from running around for the past two days, and he kicked off the quilt last night, and he caught a cold, so he sniffed in conjunction.

Seeing that the opera was almost finished, Kou Luoche strode forward and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse's face.

Zhao Si's crying stopped abruptly.

This person's figure was quite similar to Shen Xun's, and when placed in a dimly lit place, it could almost be mistaken for the real one, but when the covering cloth was lifted, the face underneath was completely different.

Although the crying stopped, the tears were still halfway through. A big snot drooped from Zhao Si's nostrils. He sucked it, but he didn't suck it back. , shouted angrily: "You guys really lied to me?!"

Fu Yunshu said: "Soldiers never tire of cheating."

"Didn't you just want to die and howl to tell Shen Xun not to die?" Kou Luoche said indifferently: "It's not him who died, isn't that what you want?"

"Fart!" Zhao Si scolded, "It's none of my business whether his surname Shen dies or not?"

"Zhao Si, it's too late to change your words now." Fu Yunshu tapped the knuckles of his right index finger on the table and made a crisp sound of "Du". He asked calmly, "Where is Shen Xun hiding?"

Zhao Si rolled his eyes again and again, and simply lay down on the ground, pretending to be dead, "I don't know."

Fu Yunshu smiled lightly, and said: "It doesn't matter whether you know it or not, since we know that Shen Xun is not dead, there is always a way to teach him."

Kou Luoche said: "First, I will torture you until you are bloody and inhuman, and then you are dragged to parade in the street, telling all the people in the county that if Shen Xun doesn't show up before noon, Zhao Xuanfu will be dragged to the court." Beheaded at the vegetable market for public display." After a pause, he smiled and said, "Zhao Si, do you think Shen Xun will show up?"

Zhao Si was not moved by it, and said calmly: "If he doesn't appear, I will die alone. If he appears, we will die together. In this way, it is better for him not to appear."

Fu Yunshu said: "Although it is abhorrent to despise the government and fool the people, how to convict it is only a matter of the county."

Zhao Si's eyes rolled around, and he looked at Fu Yunshu with interest, "Oh? What do you mean by Mr. Fu's words?"

"If you confess where Shen Xun is, this matter can still be brought back to life. Shen Xun has been kind to me and has practiced medicine for many years. If there is a reason for the incident, you can deal with it lightly." Fu Yunshu said: "If you don't know what to do, you have to resist it. Then once Shen Xun is arrested, both of you will be married..."

"Pairing both?" Zhao Sifei was not afraid, but his eyes lit up, and asked, "You want us to be married together? Where are you going?"

"One is going to Ximo and the other is going to Nanling. Since you are right in front of you, I will give you a cheap offer and let you choose first." Kou Luoche sneered, "Tell me, Zhao Si, do you want to go to Ximo?" , or Nanling?"

Zhao Si was shocked all over, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it...forget it..."

The sound of clappers passed through the high walls and deep courtyards. There were no watchmen in Jiuhe County. The work of watchmen has always been done by the night watchmen. At this moment, Yang Ye's voice came from afar, "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the fire... Fourth watch arrive!"

"It's already four o'clock, and the time in this county is limited." Fu Yunshu looked at Zhao Si quietly for a while, and said, "I only give you a quarter of an hour to think about whether you should recruit or not."

Zhao Sidao: "It doesn't take a quarter of an hour." He got up from the ground, dusted off the dust on his body, and bowed respectfully to Fu Yunshu, "Zhao Xuanfu only needs a promise from the adults."

Fu Yunshu asked, "What promise do you want?"

"My lord must know why Shen Xun faked his death. He really has difficulties." Zhao Sidao: "I came up with this idea, and I also smashed the bricks. From the beginning to the end, I was the one who defended him. Yes, when Shen Xun is brought to justice, I hope my lord will not blame him... I will bear the responsibility for all the crimes."

Fu Yunshu was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes."

Zhao Sichang breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands towards Fu Yunshu, bowed deeply, and said, "My lord, Shen Xun should be in the mass grave now."

In addition to the unknown corpses all over the ground, the mass graves are also rich in boulder lotus.This herb can be used as medicine to clear away heat and detoxify.The effect of dispelling wind and reducing phlegm, the father of the Shen family discovered this treasure, and bought a small house nearby to store the boulder lotus and other medicinal materials collected from the mass graves. After the death of the father of the Shen family, , This room was left to Shen Xun.After Shen Xunjue's death, naturally he couldn't go back to his hometown, and he was in danger of being kidnapped by bandits if he fled outside the county, and he couldn't live in the inn. There was no one around the mass grave, and this old house was abandoned for many years , is the perfect hiding place.

He woke up from the state of suspended animation, escaped from the morgue, and when he passed the mass grave, he happened to meet Zhang Tiezhu who was hiding in the grass for convenience.

Fortunately, Zhang Tiezhu was timid and fainted on the spot. He taught him to escape and successfully hid in the house. He hid for several days without anyone knowing.

Fu Yunshu and Kou Luoche rode their horses to the mass grave overnight, and led the servants to surround the whole house.Walking to the door, Fu Yunshu got off his horse, paced back and forth for a long time, sighed faintly, and said, "I should have thought of it earlier."

Kou Luoche said: "Fortunately, it's not too late to know now."

Fu Yunshu nodded with a smile, took a step forward, raised his hand and knocked on the door three times, and said, "Excuse me late at night, is Dr. Shen Xun here?"

The door opened without any hesitation.Shen Xun's face was calm, and he was neatly dressed. Standing behind the door, he seemed to have expected it. The government officials on both sides were defending with knives, but he turned a blind eye to it. He smiled familiarly at Kou Luoqi, and his eyes fell on Fu Yunshu again. After looking it over, he nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It seems that you are recovering well, Mr. Fu."

"Thank you, Dr. Shen." Fu Yunshu bowed to him, then politely raised his hand behind him, and said, "Please."
