This is just a receipt for money and goods, "It is hereby reported: I am anxious to give Yuhang County, Yuhang County Fan Yuan Waibo Jiang Yeming Yellow Lotus, reject saprophytic muscle, and the treasure of the doctor." Pen, fun, and pavilion www.biquge.info money of 15,000 yuan received, and there are no regrets! ”

At the bottom is the inscription: "Wang Haijiao, the tenth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of Zhenguan", there is a big cinnabar fingerprint on the three words "Wang Haijiao".

Eleven years have passed since the ninth year of Zhenguan, but this red finger print is as clear as new as the red silk lining the gold-decorated wooden box of gloomy wood. Presumably because of the gloomy wooden box's tight sealing.

Lord Chu said to Gao Jun and Fan Ying, "The deceased is gone!" The identities of the two deceased have been confirmed, and it is always a blessing in misfortune, and the virtuous niece is still mourning! ”

Fan Ying was in a mess at the moment, still sobbing, not knowing what to do.

Gao Jun said, "Master Chu, it stands to reason that the two deceased should be buried as soon as possible, but I don't know the cause of my father-in-law's death...... Do you have a rough idea? ”

If he didn't figure it out, Gao Jun expected that his junior sister would not be reconciled, and Fan Ying kept nodding with tears in her eyes.

Fan Boshan left home at a young age to win fame, and suddenly saw that his brother and sister-in-law were still the same, and his heart was also very sad, and after listening to Gao Jun's words, he replied for Lord Chu, "When the official arrived, Lord Chu had ordered him to do an examination, except for the blunt impact injury on the back of his brother's head, the two of them had no other injuries. ”

"Could it be that someone is trying to kill someone for money?"

Chu Suiliang said, "This is not necessarily, as soon as these two people were found at that time, the old man was afraid that their identities might be related to Lord Fan and Xian's niece, so he ordered Lord Zheng of Qianxian County to investigate in many ways. But except for this gloomy wooden box, yellow lotus beads, and receipts in our hands, we don't have any clues, it's difficult! ”

Fan Boshan also said that there was a related person's name on the receipt, which was Wang Haijiao. But the strange thing is that this receipt clearly records the county and county of the elder brother, but the person who issued the receipt himself is so concise, where can they find it!

Master Chu also said, "Huang Lianzhu is a clue, but how can the owner of such a rare treasure be easily revealed?" Hardly anyone knows that there is such a thing, let alone ask about it! ”

Zheng Zao, the county magistrate, said, "Gao Dudu, this matter has been a long time ago, and there is no way to find out, and the lower officials think that this is a headless unsolved case...... It's hard! It turned out that Lord Chu and Lord Fan were there, and the lower officials still had some fingers. As soon as the two adults left, Xia Guan had no choice. ”

Gao Jun looked at Chu Suiliang, and Lord Chu said, "Before the two of you arrived, the old man and Lord Fan had already received the edict from Chang'an...... The heavy rain in Lingnan is a disaster, and it is said that it is worse than that in Qianzhou. After the rain, Leizhou and Yazhou were separated by the sea, and they actually harmed the rabbit disaster at the same time. ”

Fan Boshan said, "Your Majesty's intention, appoint Master Chu as the main envoy and the official as the deputy envoy, and immediately rush to Lingnan to inspect the disaster after receiving the edict...... Fear...... Brother and sister-in-law can only quickly enter the ground! ”

He said, besides, nephew, you are responsible for a state on the border of Xizhou, because of private matters, I am afraid it is not good to stay abroad for a long time, I intend to bury my brother and sister-in-law ceremoniously as soon as possible, and then take official business as the priority.

Lord Chu also nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Lord Fan's meaning.

His Majesty saw the edict, there is a way that loyalty and filial piety are not perfect, so Chu Suiliang's three-year period of Ding Worry, only less than a year later, he can go back to official business. After that, he can justifiably return to the position of Jingshi without making a mistake.

Lord Chu was also remembered by the emperor in Yuhang, and one set off from Yuhang was always faster than Chang'an, which was enough to see the emperor's anxiety about the disaster in Lingnan. Second, it cannot be said that his righteous deeds for his hometown Tuntian during the Ding Wei period have attracted the attention of the emperor. Third, Gao Jun thought that it was Fan Boshan who was also in Yuhang, and invisibly helped Lord Chu's revival more or less - it happened that the two ministers went together.

I have to say that the opinions of these two are reasonable, public before private. Gao Jun thought, even if it was himself, although he had asked for a vacation with Chang'an, it was not appropriate to stay outside for a long time.

But when Fan Ying heard this, the tears that had just stopped couldn't help but gush out again, this time she couldn't control her crying, and finally fell on her father's body, and no one could pull it up.

Gao Jun understood her thoughts, if there were two dry bones lying in front of her, it would be fine.

But it is clear that the two relatives seem to be asleep, and the moment they broke up is the same as when they were young. But the situation is natural, and soon they will be buried in the ground, and the cause of death has to be put down permanently, so that the unclear will only make her sad and leave deep regret.

Fan Boshan and Chu Suiliang looked at Gao Jun inquiringly at the same time, just waiting for him to nod, the first-class coffin used for the burial had actually been prepared a long time ago.

"Senior brother......" Fan Ying choked up. She couldn't stop it, but she was unwilling.

Gao Jun didn't say anything about it, but looked at the wooden bed covered by the cloth in the west and asked, "Two adults, Lord Zheng, I don't know who those are?" ”

Zheng Xianling said, "It is also a dry skeleton found when digging a ditch, and it is 80 steps away from the burial place of Mrs. Fan's parents, which is even more of a headless unsolved case!" I want to come even further! ”

Gao Jun walked over, stretched out his hand to uncover the green cloth, and a headless white bone appeared in front of him. The only thing that is unusual is that the man's right knee is mutilated, and there are traces of broken leg bones.

Gao Jun's heart moved, and he covered the green cloth again, "Two adults, in fact, we can always do some more strength, because the clues are not only what Lord Zheng said." ”

Chu Suiliang said, "Oh?! That's great, if you have to delay for three or five days to clear everyone's doubts, the old man and Master Fan can still be the winners! ”

Fan Ying finally stopped sobbing and raised her teary eyes to look at her senior brother.

Gao Jun said, "That's nature, no matter how long the days are, I will also have inconvenience." But it is always necessary to do the best, and as for the clear and unclear results, it has to be up to God's will. ”

Zheng Zao's county commander also asked a little eagerly, "Could it be that the Gao Du Governor has made new discoveries in a short period of time?" The lower officials are ashamed! I'd love to hear about it, too! ”

Gao Jun said, the only clues that seem to have clues in this matter are Huang Lianzhu, receipts, and Wang Haijiao. Looking down, there is still some extension. For example, this white bone looks very old, but I am not sure that it has nothing to do with the death of the two elders - three people on both sides, eighty steps away, this skeleton is not protected by the Yellow Lotus Bead, so it is not surprising that it has rotted to this point.

But it is not certain that it is related to the death of the elder. However, there are two abnormalities on this stump, which is very curious. ”

He said that the head of the remnant bone was gone, but faint burn marks could still be seen at the base of the neck bone. Linked to the date on the receipt, June is the thunderstorm season. It is also very possible that this person appeared here at the same time as the two deceased elders and let the thunder strike.

What is the difference between hope? Zheng Xianling didn't speak, thinking that the high governor of Xizhou was a bit far-fetched.

"Another strange ...... Is it the leg bone of its right leg? Zheng County ordered, "But how can a person with a lame leg murder Fan Yuanwai, who is physically sound and in the prime of life...... And there are also other ladies with them? ”

Master Chu also said, "We once went to Fan Yuanwai's hometown to inquire, and when Yuanwai and his wife left home, they didn't follow with a lame leg. It's just that the couple left in a car. ”

Xizhou Governor said, "Then we have one more clue: Originally, I suspected that the two elders were killed by boat, because they were buried in the old channel of the Zixi River, separated by a swamp three miles away from the official road of Tianmu Mountain, if they took a car, how could they fall so far?" But isn't it strange that Master Chu said that the two elders left by car? ”

Fan Boshan nodded, remembering Gao Jun's words, and then asked, "The right leg of this broken bone is disabled, and it is normal, so what's so different?" ”
