Except for the face of this person who seemed to have been lifted off, the rest of his body was intact and his clothes were neat.Because of this, he was recognized as a person in this yamen.

Seeing that I had seen it, Liu Renqing pinched his nose and asked someone to lift the corpse down again.Hastily calling for people to open the door to ventilate and diffuse the smell.If it was really so difficult, why did you have to close the doors and windows tightly?I watched coldly as they poured water on the ground, as if something scary had remained there.

In the past, they were all colleagues, and their death is like a lamp going out.

It seems that the people under Mr. Liu's subordinates don't have a good relationship.

"You saw it." Seeing that the hall was bright and bright again, Liu Renqing let go of his hand and coughed, "This man is the government servant in my hall. Before he died, he was holding a piece of paper. I asked someone to see it. This handwriting can only be written by the young master of the Wen family and the little half-immortal of Songcheng. You said, he was so well-behaved that he became like this, and he was still holding the paper you gave him before he died. This matter has nothing to do with you, does it have something to do with heaven? !"

...It has something to do with me, it really has something to do with the sky.

"When did this man die? The county lord can find out where I was and what I was doing during that time. Or do you have any evidence that his death is related to me?"

I said.

"Only a piece of paper?"

The master said loudly: "Of course we checked! Ding Yi, tell me."

"Yes."

"and many more."

Just as Ding Yi was about to speak, he was interrupted by Liu Renqing.I looked towards Liu Renqing, the dark and thin man had always had a gloomy face, but now his face suddenly softened, and he actually became amicable.

"Master Wen. Since death is a conclusion, why bother to delve into the process. If you insist on pointing out one or two things, why is Young Master Wen going out of the city alone instead of celebrating the festive season with everyone?" He slowly and again Said, "That night, someone saw the person who was walking with you, stepped on the lamp and left. Who is this person?"

Liu Ren patted his beard gently, and said kindly, "Little Banxian certainly lives up to her reputation and enjoys helping others. Presumably, getting to know some fox spirits and ghosts is not a problem."

Oh--

It dawned on me.I said, what has to catch me here, it turns out that Huatou is waiting here.I had some calculations in my mind, I beat the fan horizontally, and took two steps forward. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the yamen servants on both sides shrinking back.Going forward, even the master curled up.Oh, interesting.

"Master Yixian said that this person died strangely, and it probably has something to do with me, right?"

"Looking at Song Cheng, there is no one else who thinks about Yin and Xiaoyang, except you." The master choked on me with a downcast face, and once I took a look, he shrank back behind the table.

Liu Renqing's face was ugly, but he was still calm: "What Master said is not bad. Do you have anything else to say, Young Master Wen?"

Have.

Of course there are.

More than one sentence.

"When did he die and how did he die? Has the family been notified?"

This is one of them.

"How long have you been dead? Why are you still covering up until now?"

This is the second.

The third is, "Even I, the so-called person who understands Yin and Xiaoyang, can't tell at a glance that this person died of wild animals, tigers, or robbers." I stared at the county master, and said meaningfully, "How does the county master judge?" , that person died at the hands of a fox ghost?"

"Or, the way this person died is too familiar. Mr. Ling County, he remembered something... the past that he doesn't want to recall." I looked at Liu Renqing's obviously shocked face, and smiled.

People with ghosts in their hearts can't escape the panic in their eyes even if they put on an air.

There was a long silence in the hall.

Liu Renqing let out a long and suppressed breath.He stood up, ordered to leave the hall, waited for everyone in the hall to disperse, Fang gave me a long bow: "I also ask the little banxian to help me."

The dead man was named Zhang Dahai. He liked to drink and visit brothels on weekdays. There was a wife at home, because he had a bad habit and refused to change after repeated persuasion, so he ran away in a fit of anger.Since his wife left, Zhang Dahai has become more and more unruly, happy and at ease.

He lives alone, and no one knows when he will return home.Therefore, when the yamen servants in the same class found out that he hadn't come for a long time, they went to the house to check again, only to find that this person was lying on his back on the ground, dead for an unknown time.But there is a doubt in the middle, the smell of the corpse is so strong, and it has been dead for so long, has no one noticed the smell in the house?

"It's tasteless at first. Except for the horrible death, it's no different from ordinary people." Liu Renqing explained, "The guards in the yamen discovered the abnormality this morning."

Then I don't know who came up with a ghost idea and tricked me here.

I said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, what are you going to do with it?"

Liu Renqing twitched, unwilling to speak.If he doesn't say anything, I can probably think that for such a person who died in an abnormal way and has no relatives, if there is no accident, he will probably just bury the person and deal with it.The world is so big, if one or two people die, if they don't report it, no one will know.

This is the county magistrate of Songcheng.

"Since the old man decided not to ask questions, he just buried the person. Couldn't the old man give a reasonable explanation for this strange smell?" I sneered, with a sarcasm in my voice, "I'm afraid no one will come to look for it. .”

Liu Renqing wiped the sweat from his brow: "Of course murder cases should be handled with caution. But this kind of situation, even the six doors can't handle it. I'm afraid only Young Master Wen can see a thing or two."

was talking.

The dog head master rushed over in a hurry and rolled to my feet.But instead of looking for me, he hugged Liu Renqing's leg tremblingly: "Old old man..."

"What are you doing!" Liu Renqing pushed him away desperately, "Didn't you see me talking to Young Master Wen!"

The dog head master cried and said: "Again, he died again."

"what?"

I was startled, snapped my fan shut, and lifted him up by his collar: "Where is it?"

Probably because my gaze was too scary, the dog-headed master stuttered for a long time before he uttered a word: "River."

River.

Xiting River.

I threw him away, thought it was wrong, and lifted him up: "Take me there."

Many people have gathered by the Xiting River.

It was evening and dusk, everyone was hurrying on the road at this moment, and there were no girls and scholars throwing handkerchiefs at each other by the river, and the Xiting River was the quietest time.It was a child playing in the water.A stone floated down, but a human head floated up, and he turned and ran away in fright.

"Dead! Help!"

This attracted everyone.

Another yamen servant.I frowned.The person next to him suddenly said: "Isn't this Wang Er?" When Wang Er and Ding Yi invited me back to the Yamen, I observed them carefully. There was blood on his hem.

Now the body is soaked in water, the color is hard to discern, but the hole is still there.Liu Renqing ordered people to carry the body back to confirm his identity, and was busy dismissing the whispering people around him.

Wang Er was with Ding Yi before, how could he die so quickly?

Like Zhang Dahai before, his face was also bloody.

The setting sun shone on the Xiting River, and with the fact that a corpse had just been fished out of it, the fine Tongtian River instantly became inaccessible as if it had been stained red with blood.Songcheng is more or less a small place with simple folk customs, not to mention that it does not close its doors at night, but in my impression, there has never been a murder case of this kind...

"I guess it was revenge."

"He deserves it."

"How about, let's go to Lord Chenghuang to pay respects."

Just as I was thinking wildly, suddenly a few small voices came into my ears.I calmed down and followed the prestige, but just in time to see a familiar figure flashing past in the crowd.Um?But before he had time to think about it, that feeling disappeared.I leaned over with my fan to get close to him: "You deserve what you say."

"So it's Little Banxian. Little Banxian, you have to pray for the big guy."

When a few people saw it was me, they immediately surrounded me, saying something.

I couldn't even understand half a word of the mixed conversation, so I quickly stopped them, "Speak slowly."

"Wen Jingchang."

Before he finished listening, he heard a faint scolding.

The few people in front of me are still spreading knowledge with me. If the situation is not good, let's sneak up first and don't run too fast.I can't even catch it.Tsk, I am a little annoyed, I have the illusion that the meat that reaches my mouth is flying away.

"Big brother."

Annoyance be annoyance, people still want to cry.

As expected, Wen Yi brought Wen Wu Yun over in a hurry.Liu Renqing was closer to Young Master Wen than I was, and pushed me aside with a push of his buttocks, and greeted me by himself, and called "Big Brother" first after me.After the words came out of his mouth, he let out a yell, realized that he was wrong, and said with an old face: "Master Wen, when did you return to Songcheng? Why don't you tell me, so that you can clean up the dust."

Wen Wuyun glanced at him indifferently: "Songcheng is my home, do I need to report to the magistrate when I go home?"
