Reborn as the favorite of the cold-faced general

The stench of the rotting corpse overwhelmed the fragrance of the grass after the rain, and pierced his nose first. Ye Huaiyun subconsciously touched the tip of his nose with his fingers.

A female corpse was lying on its back, and the dense weeds and fallen leaves around it were pushed away. It was seen that most of the skin on the deceased's face had been festered, and his face was completely changed. Only the dilated pupils in the eye sockets could be roughly seen.

Chu Tingyun took two steps forward and squatted beside the corpse, his expression unchanged.After a rough inspection, he said, "Dead for three or four days."

"You still know how to do an autopsy?" Ye Huaiyun was slightly surprised watching his movements.

"Father meeting." Chu Tingyun said: "I learned a little bit."

His adoptive father?But before Ye Huaiyun thought about it, Chu Tingyun continued: "There are obvious welts and bruises on the limbs and back bones, but the fatal wound is on the back of the head. It should be cut with a blunt instrument."

Sure enough, a moment later, a shadow guard found an iron pick not far away.

Just two days after leaving Gyeonggi, Ye Huaiyun frowned uncontrollably when encountering the incident of maliciously dumping corpses in the wild.

"This place is under the jurisdiction of Tongpeng City. Hand over the corpses and objects to the Tongpeng county magistrate." He specifically warned: "Don't reveal your identity."

"Yes!" Several shadow guards took off their robes to wrap the corpse, and rode their horses in the direction of Tongpeng City first.

Since Chu Tingyun had just checked the corpse, Chu Tingyun was washing his hands over and over again with the cold water in his bag, even Ye Huaiyun felt a little wasteful looking at it.

"Let's also rest in Tongpeng City ahead." Ye Huaiyun turned to him.

"Yeah." Chu Tingyun threw away the empty water bag, "Eat by the way."

Ye Huaiyun and him got into the carriage one after the other. The interior of the carriage was a little hotter than under the shade of the trees, and he blushed for no reason.

Seeing that the person next to him was resting against the wall of the carriage again, he picked up the scroll that fell on the floor when the carriage tilted just now from the corner, lightly dusted the dust with his sleeve, and opened it little by little.

Inside the page is a painting. In the painting, there are two men, both of whom are men, overlapping each other in some ambiguous posture, as if they are doing something indescribable.

He subconsciously threw the bamboo slips in his hand, and the sound alarmed Chu Tingyun to look up, "Your Highness doesn't like this book?"

Ye Huaiyun: "..."

If he likes it, there will be a ghost, this person is really getting more and more unrecognizable.

"Everyone in the world knows that His Highness will have three thousand beauties in the future. I'm just a little general, so I have to learn how to please His Highness more, so as to secure his favor." Chu Tingyun tilted his head and looked at him innocently. , clearly speaking nonsense, but the person with flushed cheeks was so stupefied that he couldn't even utter a word of reprimand.

Ye Huaiyun then lowered his head, looked at the upper of his shoes, pretended to be calm, picked up the bamboo slips, wound them into a roll, and stuffed them under the seat.

"General, it's better to read more military books and national policies." Ye Huaiyun swallowed, and finally only choked out this sentence.

Before Chu Tingyun said any other nonsensical words, Ye Huaiyun quickly took out an unknown scroll and put it in front of his face to cover someone's eyes.

As soon as he calmed down, it was the scene under the shade of the tree just now.

For a moment, he actually wanted to kiss her obediently, regardless of everything else.

Perhaps his breathing was a little heavier, Chu Tingyun suddenly said: "Are you hot?"

"What?" Ye Huaiyun's heart was pounding, and he was stunned for a moment before realizing what he meant when he said it was hot.Trying to ignore the uncontrollable scalding heat on his face, he said slowly, "Anyone will feel hot in the summer solstice in May."

"That's right." Chu Tingyun smiled slowly.

Ye Huaiyun bowed his head as if he hadn't heard of it, and really wanted to read a book patiently to divert his attention.

But after looking at it, I realized that the book in my hand was actually a Kyushu anecdote.

What came into view were a few large characters: the ancient demon sword—Xuanyi, both good and evil, the sword energy is like a phoenix nirvana.

It is reasonable to say that these folk anecdotes cannot be true, but Ye Huaiyun suddenly remembered that on the battlefield in the past, when Chu Tingyun drew his sword and swept across thousands of troops, the sword light was crimson, and that day when Fang ended up going to Northwest Proton, the unsheathed long sword had The phoenix totem is looming.

Could it be... Chu Tingyun's sword is the rumored demon sword Xuanyi?

"Your Highness, we've arrived in Tongpeng City." While muttering to himself, the shadow guard drove outside and said.

Only then did Ye Huaiyun come to his senses, flattened the book and closed it, and got out of the carriage.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the closer to the imperial capital, the more prosperous it is. Tongpeng City is only a hundred and eight miles away from Gyeonggi.

At noon in Pinellia after pouring rain at night, the sky is clear and the air is clear. Instead of the scorching heat, it is humid and cool. The shouts of vendors on the street are lingering, pedestrians are bustling, and fireworks are everywhere.

Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun found a place to drink tea in a tea shed by the side of the road, and the steaming hot tea formed a layer of mist in front of their eyes.

Donggong Yingwei, who came first to report the case to the county magistrate, had been waiting for a long time. At this moment, someone walked into the tea shed and reported back to Ye Huaiyun: "According to His Highness's instructions, my subordinates have handed over the female corpse to the Yamen."

"Yeah." Ye Huaiyun nodded and asked, "What did the county magistrate say?"

Yingwei said: "The county magistrate said that he knows the whole story of this matter, so there is no need to file a special case."

"Know?" Ye Huaiyun was suspicious, pointed to a chair beside him and said, "Sit down and talk."

According to the magistrate of Tongpeng County, not long ago, the daughter of the Pan family in the south of the city eloped out of the city with a farmer named Zhong Gui.

As the saying goes, bad things spread thousands of miles, especially the indecent incident of elopement between an innocent girl and a man with a wife and son at home. It was spread all over Tongpeng City within two days, and it almost became the most talked about by the people after dinner. one of the topics.

And the female corpse they found in the forest was the daughter of the Pan family—Pan Xiuxiu. The result of the autopsy in the county government office was the same as what Chu Tingyun said at the time. The back of the head was seriously injured by an iron hoe and died. Therefore, Wang Xiangshan, magistrate of Tongpeng County, felt that Zhong Gui must have killed him.

"No." Chu Tingyun interrupted quickly.

Ye Huaiyun asked him: "What's wrong?"

"I can't say it, it's just my intuition." Chu Tingyun shook the tea bowl lightly with his left hand, and the words he uttered from his thin lips rarely hesitated, "Are you familiar with the county magistrate Wang Xiangshan's work as an official?"

"So-so." Ye Huaiyun thought for a while, then added: "It's about the same as Ding Jishui, governor of Zhiyang County."

"Addicted to writing notebooks?" Chu Tingyun blurted out.

Ye Huaiyun couldn't help laughing, "Gu means that he has no merits or faults just like Ding Jishui."

"Still claiming to be lonely outside?" Chu Tingyun rested his chin on one hand and looked at him intently.

Ye Huaiyun changed his words slightly: "Me."

If Wang Xiangshan, magistrate of Tongpeng County, is a clear judge of the case, Ye Huaiyun has no time to intervene too much, but this person treats the murder case so perfunctorily, naturally he has no reason to sit idly by.

Ye Huaiyun immediately took Chu Tingyun to the yamen, and the people walking beside him commented gloatingly: "This Wang Xiangshan is really unlucky to be bumped into such a big one by you. Case, the county magistrate's official career has come to an end."

"Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom—" Donggong Yingwei beat the grievance drum in front of the Tongpeng County Yamen until it pierced through the clouds and cracked stones.

Every time the drumstick was struck, a thick layer of dust would rise from the drum surface, causing Chu Tingyun to pull Ye Huaiyun's wrist and take two steps back.

"Why are you guys again?" The deafening sound of drumming startled the lazy or idle government servants collectively.

"We want to report the crime!" The shadow guard straightened his back, thinking that this time his master, who is more than [-] people, and General Chu, who can kill people with a look, are here, so he should be more confident.

The yamen servant was a little impatient, "Didn't you report it just now?"

The shadow guard pulled out his voice and replied: "This time it is my son who wants to report the crime!"

Because the sound of beating the drums just now was so earth-shattering, it attracted many people around, and there was a regulation in the Dachen Law that there should be no prevarication and rejection when beating drums to report the crime, so the yamen servant had to reluctantly bring this group of people who had reported the crime for the second time. In court.

"Who is your son?" County magistrate Wang Xiangshan asked while sitting in the hall, obviously overhearing their conversation with the yamen servant.

Several shadow guards stood side by side in a row, making way for the center. At first glance, they were more powerful than the Yamen servants knocking water and fire sticks on both sides.

Wang Xiangshan inexplicably felt a little tight in his chest, and it was the first time he saw such a manly person standing in the courtroom.And the following facts proved that his chest tightness was just the beginning.

"It's me!" Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun walked forward side by side.

Wang Xiangshan asked again: "Who are you?"

"It's their son." Chu Tingyun answered the words logically.

Wang Xiangshan: "..."

Ye Huaiyun was almost amused by him, and seeing the serious and innocent face of the person beside him, he managed to hold back his smile, coughed twice and said, "The two of us are businessmen passing through Tongpeng City. I found a female corpse that was maliciously covered up, and I hope Mr. Wang can investigate the case impartially."

After being an official for so many years, although Wang Xiangshan has done nothing, he still has good eyesight.

At this time, seeing that the two people in front of them were imposing and elegant, their attitude eased a lot, "The official of this case has already made it clear to these people that Pan Xiuxiu was killed by Zhong Gui, so there is no need to file a special case for investigation. "

"How sure is Mr. Wang?" Chu Tingyun asked him back with his arms folded.

"Ten percent." Wang Xiangshan returned very quickly.

"Well, let me ask you." Chu Tingyun paced up and down in a corner of the court and said, "The elopement of a man and a woman can at least show that the two of them have a deep relationship. If this is the case, why does the man kill the woman?"

Wang Xiangshan didn't change his face, "It may be that there was a dispute between them."

"Maybe?" Chu Tingyun glanced at him with disgust without concealing his eyes, "That's not [-]%."

"This..." Wang Xiangshan choked suddenly.

But Chu Tingyun obviously didn't intend to let him go so easily, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Lord Wang said just now that the two have eloped for ten days, except for the four days after the death of the deceased, there are still six days left. It stands to reason that they should have stayed away long ago." Tongpeng City, why did the corpse appear ten miles outside the city?"

"This..." Wang Xiangshan couldn't answer again.

Seeing his embarrassment, Chu Tingyun finally showed kindness and did not embarrass him anymore. He just stepped on the steps with one foot and propped his hand on the table, forcing the dignified magistrate to keep leaning back, "Wang Your Excellency still refuses to file a case?"

Wang Xiangshan laughed dryly, but couldn't even utter a word, so he had to pick up his pen and ink, copy a document for filing the case, and hand it to Chu Tingyun.

He also couldn't explain why he nodded and bowed to these two small businessmen, knowing that he was the county magistrate with a salary of hundreds of thousands of shi, but the people in front of him gave him an unknown sense of oppression.

"That's very good." Chu Tingyun took the document, although the corners of his mouth were hooked, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all.

After he walked to Ye Huaiyun's side and shook his hand, he bent his eyebrows and smiled sincerely, "Why are you in a daze?"

"It's okay, let's go." Ye Huaiyun responded with a clear voice.

On the way back, Ye Huaiyun was absent-minded.

Since he just entered the court, he has been staring at Chu Tingyun's detailed analysis and pressing step by step. He has seen that appearance too many times in his previous life.Every movement, every look, is as familiar as a seal carved into the bone.

He finally took a deep breath and asked, "Chu Tingyun, do you believe in rebirth?"

[The author has something to say: Because General Chu is also reborn, he was a civil servant in his previous life, so his intuition for the case is very high and accurate. Ye Huaiyun mainly suspected it based on this.

The second, third and fourth volumes are each a big case. After this chapter enters the second volume, there will be a lot of plots to solve the case... One thing to say, this case has four stars instead of five stars. It's a bit like a script kill. By the end of the last chapter of the second volume, I will use the most concise language to explain it uniformly.
