Chapter 392: The Rules of the Game
The reason why Huang Wen didn't know was because he had never seen such a strange thing, which could make the appearance of the corpse not damaged at all, and take away the human heart.
This is the first time in more than a decade that such a thing has happened to the autopsy.
Even Yang Chen couldn't figure out the reason for this.
Huang Wen dissected the bodies of the other two children and found that they also had no hearts.
"There must be a ghost." Zhao Yuanwai said in horror: "If it wasn't for the evil ghost asking for his life, how could this be? ”
When Zhao Yuanwai's wife heard these ghosts, she was suddenly a little scared, she pulled Zhao Yuanwai's clothes and said, "Xianggong, why don't we go and invite a Taoist priest to come over tomorrow to do the trick?" ”
"It's fine." Zhao Yuanwai hurriedly agreed.
After inspecting the bodies of several children of Zhao Yuanwai's family, Cheng Meng rushed back to the yamen with the officials.
However, Huang Wen was dismissed by Lord Wu, and he was not good at going to the yamen with him, so he left and went home in advance.
After returning to the Yamen, Lord Wu summoned Cheng Meng and Yang Chen to the mansion alone.
Lord Wu leaned on a rattan chair, holding a bunch of grapes in his hand, and a concubine next to him stuffed them into his mouth one by one.
Cheng Meng felt a little embarrassed, standing there, not knowing what to do.
"I said Cheng Meng." Lord Wu finally spoke: "How long have you been working in the Yamen?" ”
Cheng Meng thought about it seriously and replied, "It's been almost forty years." ”
"Forty years?" Lord Wu's hand wandered around the concubine's body wantonly: "I really didn't expect you to do it for so long." ”
Cheng Meng was very curious, why did Lord Wu suddenly ask himself this question, did he want to add some money to himself?
"You've been doing it for so long, why can't you figure out the rules of officialdom?" Lord Wu said suddenly.
"Oh? I don't know what rules there are in this officialdom? Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Young man, there was no place for you to talk here, but Nian Zai Cheng Meng has also done a lot of things for the yamen, you are his grandson-in-law, and the official is too lazy to care about you." Lord Wu said: "This rule, I might as well mention you directly, I am the adult of our county government, this place, I am responsible, if something happens, who do I have to be responsible for?" ”
"Isn't it the people of this side?" Yang Chen asked.
"Let's just say that you are not sensible young man." Lord Wu snorted: "The people of this side, can they decide your promotion?" The only one who can decide your promotion is our city lord. ”
"I still don't understand what Lord Wu means." Yang Chen said.
"We just need to have an explanation in front of the city lord." After Lord Wu ate the bunch of grapes, he said: "You can't catch this murderer at all, and those suspicious people outside who enter the city, you can catch one of them, what are you going to do with that Zhao Yuanwai?" He wants a murderer, you just go to the prison and catch a dozen and throw it to him, what can he do? ”
"Isn't this just just casually wronging people?" Yang Chen asked.
"Wronged?" Lord Wu couldn't help laughing: "When the Dong'a people attacked Xuzhou, how many refugees came to our side?" How much trouble have these people caused to us? Now it is the general who ran from the capital to drive away the Dong'a people, and these refugees have only gone back, otherwise these people will inevitably make trouble. ”
Cheng Meng said helplessly: "My lord, but we can't just wronged these refugees, right?" ”
"Cheng Zhutou, are those refugees still human?" Lord Wu said: "They are already homeless, let them live in this world, it is a kind of pain, it is better to arrest them, treat them as murderers, and pay the errand as soon as possible, I will continue to sit on my county government, you can be your head catcher with peace of mind, anyway, your family has no children, and the murderer can't kill your head." ”
"Bastard!" Cheng Meng suddenly said angrily: "Lord Wu, I respect you as the county magistrate, but I didn't expect that you would despise human life so much, if you just do this, the real murderer will always be at large, and there will only be more and more children who will die in the hands of that murderer." ”
"Cheng Zhutou, pay attention to your identity." Master Wu said dissatisfiedly: "If you can't do the job of catching heads, then I can give you a vacation to rest." ”
"It turns out that Lord Wu is such an official." Yang Chen laughed.
"Young man, if you don't get to my position, you will never understand." Lord Wu snorted: "It's strange that your life is not good, if you are my boss, then you decide how to play the rules of the game, then I have to do it, but it's a pity, I'm afraid you won't be my boss for the rest of your life, right?" ”
"Grandpa, let's go, if you do things for this kind of person, you will only become an accomplice to the scourge of the people." Yang Chen said lightly: "In this case, what else is this head-catching position?" ”
Cheng Meng sighed and said, "It's okay, I'm also old, it's time to retire." Saying that, Cheng Meng pulled out the saber hanging from his waist, which startled Master Wu, and he asked nervously, "Cheng Meng, what are you going to do?" Don't mess around, you've been hunting heads for so long, don't know the law and break the law. ”
"Don't worry, I, Cheng Meng, will never do these things that know the law and break the law." Cheng Meng slapped the saber on the chair and said, "This knife, return it to you." After saying that, he walked out angrily.
"Huh......" Lord Wu patted his chest, Cheng Meng's action just now really startled him: "It's good to go, my distant relative just doesn't want to do it, but I can let him be the head catcher, and he will be more obedient in the future." ”
"Lord Wu is really thoughtful for his family." Yang Chen laughed.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Lord Wu was startled, he saw Cheng Meng leaving in a hurry, and thought that this Yang Chen had also gone out.
"I want to ask Lord Wu a word." Yang Chen said: "When my grandfather raised the knife just now, you will also be afraid, your life is also life, the life of those refugees is not life?" ”
"How can those lowly people compare with me?" Master Wu shouted: "It's just insulting me." ”
"Where are you noble?" Yang Chen asked rhetorically.
"This official is noble everywhere." Wu Da said angrily: "But I advise you to go back and take a good look at your grandfather, if he does something irrational, maybe he will also become a murderer of children." ”
"Definitely." Yang Chen slowly turned around and walked outside.
Looking at Yang Chen's back, Lord Wu sneered: "This kid is interesting. ”
"Lord Wu." Yang Chen suddenly turned his head again.
"Dry ...... Do? Lord Wu said angrily.
"If the rules of the game were set by me, you might ......" Yang Chen shrugged his shoulders: "I don't have to play." (To be continued.) )
