Chang Hai, as the county magistrate of the county, no matter how he died, this is a great event, and it is no wonder that Wandu Gui wants to convene a group of subordinate leaders in the official office to discuss.

When Zhao Junsheng came to the meeting hall, there were only a few people in the hall, all of whom were about the same rank as him, he walked in and waved hello to these people, and came to Gong Cao Lin Mu's side and asked in a low voice: "Lin joins the army, why did this Chang Hai suddenly die?" Did he kill or drown? ”

Lin Mu shook his head and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I also just received the news, it is said that the thief King Cao joined the army and is taking the thief to conduct an autopsy in the autopsy room, and the specific situation is not clear!" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't ask again.

After a while, except for the thief Cao who was in charge of investigating the case, Wang Li had not yet come, and the other Cao soldiers had arrived, followed by the Taishou Mansion's engagement, the main Bo, the county lieutenant, and the county Cheng, these Taishou adjutants arrived one after another, and after these people arrived, the thief Cao Wang Li also arrived with two heads and a servant, and Wan Dugui finally walked into the lobby with a few soldiers.

"Subordinates, wait for the general!" All the officials saluted together to Wandu.

Wan Dugui waved his hand, motioned for everyone to be exempt, knelt on the cushion and asked, "How is the case of Chang Hai's death in Suiyang County?" What about Wang Li? ”

Wang Li stood up and bent over and arched his hand: "Humble duty!" General Qiqi, after receiving the news, immediately took two headhunters, a puppet and a large number of catchers to Bishui Lake! One team of catchers blocked the Bishui Lake to prevent idlers from destroying the scene, and the other team of catchers surveyed the surroundings! After investigation, no anomalies were found on the shore of the lake where Chang Hai's body was found, but a large pool of dried blood was found on the side of the road six hundred steps west of Bishui Lake! Chang Hai's body was quickly recovered, and a preliminary autopsy was conducted at the scene, and it was judged that Chang Hai should have drowned! Regarding the autopsy, please give the general a detailed explanation! ”

After standing up and saluting, he said: "General, just now the villain conducted a more detailed examination of the deceased's body in the autopsy room, and found that the deceased's belly was bulging, there were constant foams coming out of his nostrils, and his face and lips were blue and purple, which was consistent with the characteristics of drowning!" The villain also found that the deceased had a strong smell of alcohol in his mouth, and the deceased should have been drunk before drowning, but other than that, the villain did not find any external injuries on the deceased! Based on the corpse spots, the deceased should have been dead for at least a day before they surfaced before they were discovered! ”

Wan Dugui said with a calm face: "You directly tell Ben the conclusion of the autopsy!" ”

"Yes! The deceased drowned after being drunk, and the time of death was about eighteen hours or more, and it is impossible to tell whether he fell into the lake by mistake after being drunk or was forcibly pressed into the water and drowned! ”

Wan Dugui's face showed anger, patted the desk and looked at Wang Li and shouted: "Wang thief Cao, you tell General Ben, what is the cause of Chang Hai's death?" Did he fall into the lake and drown because he was drunk, or was he drunk and was taken to the lake and pressed into the water and drowned? ”

Wang Li sweated on his forehead, bowed and saluted: "Back to the general, it has only been an hour since we received the report from the people, and the subordinates have not been able to give the general an accurate answer!" At present, the two shifts of officials are questioning the people living near the scene of the crime, and they have also sent people to the county government to inquire about the family members of the deceased, hoping to find useful clues as soon as possible! ”

A few days ago, Liu County, Suiyang County, died, and now the county commander Chang Hai is also dead, and they are all a little inexplicable, which makes Wandu return very much.

At this time, a catcher walked into the lobby quickly and whispered in Wang Li's ear for a while, Wang Li waved his hand to let the catcher retreat after hearing it, and then hugged his fist to Wandugui and said: "General, just now the subordinate brothers came with news and found some clues. According to the people of Suiyang County, Chang Hai went out the night before yesterday, and he was still followed by his entourage Chang Wu, this Chang Wu is a person with strong martial arts, who is both Chang Hai's entourage and Chang Hai's guard, but the people of the county government don't know where Chang Hai went the day and night, and they don't know what he went to do, only this Chang Wu knows, but the key is that this Chang Wu is missing! Our brother has found the carriage that Chang Hai rode in the night before yesterday, it was in a carriage shop, our brother has found the shopkeeper of the carriage shop, according to the shopkeeper, this carriage was sold to him by a scoundrel, and our brother quickly caught the scoundrel who sold the carriage, this scoundrel is called Liao Lezi, and he is a ruffian in the area of Youjia Street. According to him, yesterday morning he saw the carriage parked on the side of the street of Youjia Street beside a wasteland, and stayed for a day, and when he came home in the evening, he found that there was no one in the carriage, and the horses pulling the carriage had been grazing, so he became greedy and drove the carriage to the carriage shop to sell it! The subordinate brothers asked the people in the area of Youjia Street, but they didn't get any useful news! ”

Wan Dugui frowned and said, "So, if he kills, Chang Hai's entourage Chang Wu is very suspicious?" If it was a natural drowning, then where did this Chang Wu go? It seems that whether this case can be investigated, we have to find Chang Wu! ”

Wang Li said: "Yes, general! The subordinates believed that a large pool of blood found near Bishui Lake should be related to the case, but no relevant clues and evidence were found, because the nearest residents around Bishui Lake were also more than 300 steps away from the lake, and no one saw or heard anything at all! ”

Wan Du Gui said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, a county Cheng died, and now another county order has died, is it possible that General Ben will also die in a few days?" Passing on the order of the general, he sent a sea fishing official document to arrest Chang Wu, and he must be found! This case must continue to be investigated, and more manpower will be added to find clues! ”

"Yes, General!"

Wan Dugui nodded and said to the officials: "Before the conclusion of this case is reached, don't talk about it casually, so as not to cause panic to the officials and people!" Okay, put aside this case for the time being, I have something to explain to you today, and within two months, you will have to sort out all the official affairs and official documents that you have handled; Officials and officials must be on duty; If the premises of the department are dilapidated and need to be repaired, they should be repaired immediately; Two months later, General Ben will inspect all the government offices under his jurisdiction, and if any problems are found, General Ben will punish the crime, do you understand? ”

Zhao Junsheng saluted with the other officials and said in a loud voice: "Understood! ”

After getting off duty in the afternoon, Zhao Junsheng first went to check the workshops of the garment factory, and learned that the progress of each workshop was steadily rising, and he would soon be on the right track, and explained some details and precautions to the foremen of each workshop, and then returned to the garment shop.

Zhao Junsheng found that Hua Mulan, who had returned to Huajiabao yesterday afternoon, gave Hua Arc a massage in the backyard, he walked over and greeted Hua Arc and Hua Yuan first, and asked Mulan: "Mulan, are you okay at home?" ”

Hua Mulan smiled: "It's okay, there is a steward to take care of, I will come over again when I see that there is nothing wrong!" ”

After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she naturally changed the topic and asked, "By the way, I just heard from my neighbor that Suiyang County Ling Changhai died, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Junsheng glanced at Hua Mulan and found that although she was well disguised, she was still a little unnatural, and he said, "Hmm! There is such a thing, he died in the blue water lake, and was discovered by a scholar this morning! In the morning, General Wan called all the officials who were in good ranks over to discuss the matter, and listened to the pretend, saying that he had been dead for two days, and it was not yet known whether he drowned by natural drowning, or if he was drowned in the water. Also, Chang Hai's entourage Chang Wu has disappeared, and he has become the object of suspicion from the government! ”

Zhao Junsheng's words seem to be said casually, but in fact, there is a lot of information hidden, the purpose is to make Mulan feel at ease. In fact, he couldn't figure out one thing, how did she know that Chang Hai would go to Tianxianglou that night? Could it be that she has already investigated Chang Hai's whereabouts a lot, or has she been sending people to investigate Chang Hai's whereabouts?

Hua Mulan was also puzzled at this time, Chang Hai's attendant Chang Wu had obviously been killed by her, why was the body missing? Did Chang Hai roll into the lake and drown by himself, or was he pressed into the water by others and drowned? If Chang Wu's body had been taken away, and Chang Hai had been pressed into the water and drowned, then a fourth person had been present the night before, and this person should have known everything about her.

Mulan shuddered suddenly.

At this time, Bao Ding Ma Er walked to the backyard and shouted to Zhao Junsheng: "Uncle, a military master came to Taishou Mansion, saying that General Wan invited Uncle to come over!" ”

Hua Mulan was a little unhappy and said, "It's all worth it and you still talk about business?" Why don't you say something when you're on duty? ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a smile: "When you enter the official mansion yamen, you can't help yourself!" Okay, you can eat dinner first, don't wait for me! ”

"Wait, I'll bring you a piece of bread to eat on the way!"

After Hua Mulan finished speaking, she ran to the kitchen and took a hot cake to Zhao Junsheng, and explained: "Come back early, don't go out with other officials to fool around!" ”

Zhao Junsheng found that Hua Mulan was getting more and more into the role of his wife, and he was very happy in his heart, and agreed with a smile: "Don't worry!" ”

After leaving the garment shop, Zhao Junsheng rode a horse to the Taishou Mansion, wondering in his heart that he didn't know what Wandugui had asked him to do, and it seemed that he would not know until he saw Wandugui.
