Chapter 032: Burying the Body.

However, when the officials of Tianchang County posted portraits of the deceased everywhere in the city to find insiders, Bao Zheng, Hua Lang, and Wen Meng hurried back to the county office.

When they returned to the county office, Bai Butong, the chief bookkeeper, was sorting out the files of Tianchang County in recent years, so that Bao Zheng could re-try it, and the original county order Zhou Siping was tidying up in his room, and he was going to leave here to follow Gonggong Zhang and his daughter into the palace after a while, and the matter of dealing with Hualang was blown up, although he was angry and angry, but he was also very helpless, and he only swore in his heart that he would teach Hualang a lesson after his daughter gained power.

Thursday Ping and Bai Butong were doing their own thing, but Bao Zheng and the others didn't care at all, because they were going to interrogate the two thieves caught today, because they were likely to be the masterminds of the murder on the outskirts of the city.

After coming to the prison, a stench came to his face, and the sound of mosquitoes and flies was endless, for a moment, Xiao is Bao Zheng's dark face, which was also slightly red at this time, Bao Zheng saw that this prison was not a place for people to stay at all, and his heart was suddenly furious, even if it was a prisoner, it was a person, at least ** should always have it.

They couldn't stand the smell of the prison and the mosquitoes and flies, so they had to let the two jailers interrogate the two thieves outside the prison, and after the two thieves were brought out by the jailers, they saw the sunshine and the sky, and their hearts were suddenly relieved, and after they took a long breath, they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Seeing them like this, Bao Zheng didn't appreciate it, but said coldly: "Wait for the thieves, report your name quickly." ”

The two thieves were shouted by Bao Zheng like this, and they suddenly lost their anger and had to answer.

"Under the fat three."

"Small, skinny...... Skinny four. ”

Seeing that the names of the two of them were so appropriate, Bao Zheng immediately continued to ask: "Fat three, thin four, quickly tell you about the evil deeds of killing people and taking people's money, otherwise don't blame Lord Ben for turning his face and being ruthless." ”

When the fat three and thin four heard this, they hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord is wronged, we really didn't kill anyone, those silver taels were really picked up by us." ”

Seeing this, Bao Zheng shouted: "Nonsense, a thousand taels of silver, who will throw it on the side of the road for you to pick up, there is such a good thing in the world, the corpse in the suburbs has been found by us, what else do you have to say?" ”

As soon as they heard that the people from the county government had found the body, the fat three and the thin four suddenly panicked, and after a long time, the fat three looked at Bao Zheng and said, "My lord, spare my life, so ...... We didn't kill that man, we passed by the east side of the trail last night, and we found the body and the money bag next to the body, and we were greedy, so we took the money bag for ourselves and buried the body, we really didn't kill the person. ”

At this time, the thin four also hurriedly echoed: "No...... That's right, I ...... We just took ...... Money bag, no ...... Didn't kill anyone. ”

This seemed to make some sense, Bao Zheng smiled coldly, and scolded: "There is such a thing in the world, if the person is not killed by the two of you, then the murderer who killed him doesn't know if there is money in the baggage, why didn't he take the money together, why did he just kill people?" ”

As soon as Bao Zheng said this, the two thieves didn't know what Lu Dao said, the matter was very strange, why didn't the murderer take away the money of the deceased, more than a thousand taels of silver, only a fool would not take it.

The two thieves didn't say much, but insisted that they didn't kill anyone, even if Bao Zheng threatened them to hit the board, they also refused to let go, and finally had no choice but to send them into the cell.

After the jailer sent the fat three and thin four into the cell, Bao Zheng looked at Hua Lang, who had been standing aside, and asked, "Brother Hua is very smart, I don't know if you can see the strangeness?" ”

Hua Lang smiled faintly: "If you want to verify whether what these two people said is true, it's very simple, send people to inquire around Tianchang County, when these two people stayed, and you can know the truth and falsehood by asking." ”

After listening to Hua Lang's words, Bao Zheng immediately understood, judging from the degree of decomposition of the corpse, the deceased had been dead for at least three days, if the two thieves had not come to Tianchang County three days ago, then they could not be the murderers, but they buried the dead.

Thinking like this, Bao Zheng immediately sent people to various inns to investigate the situation, and then, he went to check the files and files sorted out by Bai Butong, Hualang and Wen Meng saw that Bao Zheng had just come to Tianchang County, and there were many things to take care of, so they no longer bothered him, and after saying a few polite words, they left the county office.

After leaving the county office, Wen Meng had a deeper view of Hua Lang, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that you, a scholar, would actually judge the case and inspect the body, yes, you learned it from there?" ”

Hua Lang naturally couldn't say that he had learned it in his previous life, he looked at Wen Meng and said with a smile: "Guess? ”

Wen Mengming's eyes opened slightly, and he said disdainfully: "If you don't say it, you won't say it, let me guess, this woman doesn't bother to guess!" ”

Seeing that Wen Meng was so delicate, Hua Lang hurriedly smiled and said: "In the next scholar, these things are naturally learned from books, isn't there a cloud in the ancient saying, there is a golden house in the book, Yan Ruyu in the book, and ...... in the book."

Hua Lang said this, Wen Meng suddenly interrupted: "Okay, okay, there is everything in the book, everything in the book, I don't believe that your ability to solve the case and perform the autopsy is all learned from the book." ”

At this point, Wen Meng didn't really want to find out where Hua Lang learned the skills of case solving and autopsy, and her interest suddenly shifted to the murder that happened today.

"You don't think those two thieves are murderers?"

Hua Lang wiped his sweat and sighed: "Whether the two of them are murderers or not depends on the results of Bao Zheng's investigation, and I can't conclude before the results." ”

Speaking of Bao Zheng, Wen Meng suddenly thought of some questions, so he hurriedly asked: "How do I feel that today's things are strange, did you know early in the morning that Bao Zheng was going to come to our Tianchang County to be the county magistrate, so you befriended him, and hinted that he and I became brother and sister?" ”

Today's events are indeed in Hua Lang's calculations, but there are a few things that he can't determine and calculate, such as the two villains who suddenly appeared, the murder on the outskirts of the city, but no matter what, things are still going according to Hua Lang's intentions, befriending Bao Zheng, going to the county office, telling Zhang Gonggong some facts he doesn't know, and helping Wen Meng get rid of the fate of entering the palace.

It's just that although the matter is as Wen Meng said, Hua Lang can't admit it, and hurriedly smiled: "I have this kind of ability, if I know that Bao Zheng is the county order of Tianchang County, then wouldn't I have become a flower half-immortal!" ”

Wen Meng snorted and said, "I guess you don't have this kind of ability. ”
