Chapter 205 Sadness Enters the Game.

The New Year is approaching, and the whole Tianchang County is lively.

Every household has pasted the Spring Festival couplets, the sound of firecrackers is endless, whenever it is night, every household is lit up, and then everywhere to visit the door, the New Year, this is the time for neighbors to exchange feelings, but also when everyone relaxes and has fun.

At this time, Hua Lang was accompanying Wen Meng to pay a New Year's greeting to Wen, Yin Wuxian had already rushed back to Huainan, even if he was a person who liked to flow Lang, but during the New Year, the mood of going home was difficult to suppress.

Wen Yidao looked very happy, this year's New Year, Wen's mansion is much more lively than usual, in addition to friends from the rivers and lakes who came to pay New Year's greetings, Bao Zheng also came with Gongsun Ce and a group of officials, and the reason is that he Bao Heizi and Wen Meng are brothers and sisters.

Wen Yidao, who has always disliked dealing with the government, made an exception and drank a large jar of wine with Bao Zheng, because although he is a Jianghu person, he likes Qing officials, and he prefers Qing officials who have a relationship with him.

Wenfu is lively, and Tianchang County is also lively.

And on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it snowed again in Jiangnan.

This is probably the last snow in the winter in Jiangnan.

The snow is very heavy, and it is blowing one after another, and I don't know how many frozen bones will be frozen.

But this has nothing to do with Hua Lang and others, not because he has no intention of caring for the poor people, but he simply does not have the ability to care, the ancients are rich and help the world, and the poor are alone, although Hua Lang is not poor today, but he is not rich, and he is powerless to help the people.

Hua Lang can't do something, but Bao Zheng has to do something, he is the parent official of Tianchang County, he has the responsibility to do something for the people, so before the snow fell, he began to send people to send all kinds of necessities to the poor people who could not keep out the cold and clothing, and gathered some homeless people who had no place to live and no food, opened porridge sheds for them, and built straw houses.

These things are not very difficult, and they are not even enough for outsiders, because this is what Bao Zheng should do, but these simple behaviors make the people of Tianchang County very moved, because these things are nothing to Bao Zheng, but not every official can do it, and for the people, this can let them survive the cold winter, which is life-saving for them.

Solving the case, only one or two people were saved, and the gratitude received was only one or two people, but what Bao Zheng did was something that could save all people.

So, the results are also different.

The New Year is coming in this excitement and joy.

But what people didn't expect was sadness.

On the night of the thirtieth day, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, every family stopped their work, they chatted and played with each other, bought delicious food to improve their lives, but at this time, two young people carried the corpse of an old man walking on the lively street, and the people on the street saw the corpse, first they were afraid, and then they were full of interest to ask, who was the deceased and how he died.

But the two young men had no intention of answering the questions of the bored people, for they were both sad, and they were in a hurry to dispose of the bodies.

Hua Lang and Wen Meng Hua Wan'er were wandering on the street, and then saw this scene, after seeing this scene, Wen Meng suddenly sighed: "It was cold last night, I'm afraid one person froze to death again." ”

Hua Wan'er shook her head and asked, "How can Sister Wen be sure that he froze to death, is there no other possibility, such as being murdered?" ”

Hearing the word murder, Hua Lang was shocked, I don't know if it was because of his profession or because he really felt something wrong.

Wen Meng and Hua Wan'er were still arguing, but the argument was fruitless, and finally pointed the finger at Hua Lang, Hua Lang saw this, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Whether it was frozen to death or not, let's go over and see if we will know the way." ”

Saying this, Hua Lang led Wen Meng and Hua Wan'er to stop the two young people, and the young man saw that someone was blocking the road, but he didn't dare to make trouble, so he wanted to make a detour, but just as they were about to make a detour, Hua Lang stopped him again and asked, "May I ask the two brothers, what is the relationship between the person you are carrying, and how did he die?" ”

When the two young men saw that Hua Lang had so many things, they were a little annoyed and said, "What's the matter with you, get out of the way!" ”

But Hua Lang didn't get out of the way, Hua Lang just smiled slightly, and said: "If you don't say it, I have every reason to suspect that you killed someone, and then you want to bury the body. ”

When the two of them heard Hua Lang say this, they were immediately a little frightened, and at this time, one of them said: "The deceased is our father, who froze to death last night, and we are going to bury him." ”

"So sloppy?" Hua Lang was a little surprised, in ancient times, filial piety was heavy, and the elders died in the family, and they were all filial piety only if they had to be buried in a grand funeral, but looking at the two people in front of them, it seemed that they were preparing to bury the deceased hastily, which had to make people suspicious.

The two young people didn't seem to be wary of Hualang and the others, but said: "The family is poor and can't afford to buy a coffin, if we have money, our father will not be frozen to death, if there is nothing to do, please give way, we will bury my father quickly." ”

Listening to his words, it was indeed reasonable, but when Hua Lang glanced at the deceased, he was even more suspicious, and said: "I'm afraid not, I suspect that the deceased did not freeze to death, but was murdered." ”

When Hua Wan'er heard this, she immediately became excited, looked at Wen Meng and said, "Sister Wen, what do you say now?" ”

Wen Meng was a little anxious for a while, touched Hualang with his hand, and said, "You give a reason!" ”

At this time, there were already many people around the corpse, and they were talking in private, wanting to see what this flower lang could say.

Hua Lang saw that everyone was like this, so he smiled faintly and said: "The person who froze to death has a yellowish complexion, saliva foam in his mouth, his teeth are very hard, and his body is stiff, but now this corpse is open in his mouth, and there is no saliva flowing out. When Hua Lang said this, he glanced around and said, "Bring wine vinegar." ”

Everyone was looking at the excitement and heard that Hua Lang wanted wine vinegar, so he didn't think much about it, and one of them hurriedly went to a nearby shop to buy it, Hua Lang took the wine vinegar and kept washing it on the deceased's face, but after such cleaning, there was no change in the deceased's face.

Just when everyone was surprised, Hua Lang continued: "People who freeze to death are washed with wine vinegar and have little heat, and their cheeks will be red, and their faces will be like hibiscus, but everyone has seen just now that the deceased's face has not changed at all, which means that the deceased did not freeze to death, I am afraid that he was murdered." ”

Hearing this, everyone was very surprised, and the onlookers involuntarily surrounded the two young people.
