Chapter 111: Mu Yuan Sits in the Hall (II)
"Dog!" Mu Yuan was furious when he heard this, threw another wooden card, and shouted: "I'm dragging it out to fight until he knows what's wrong." ”
"My lord, my lord!" The fat prefect suddenly shouted when he heard this, he really couldn't stand it, if he was fighting, he would have to take his own life.
Chu Xunyu also felt inappropriate, so he whispered: "It's over, it's over, if you continue to fight, you will die, but he is a mortal, and he can't take a few hits." ”
Mu Yuan shook his head helplessly: "That's the case, okay, you have the right to fight this time and write it down, and you will count it later." ”
The fat prefect was like being amnestied, and hurriedly knelt down: "Lord Xie, Lord Xie." ”
But Mu Yuan still refused to let him go, and shouted: "Come on, look at the seat, Governor Zhu sits down and talks." ”
After speaking, the master hurriedly moved a chair over and helped the fat prefect to sit down, the fat prefect was excited and hurriedly sat down, but as soon as his butt touched the chair, it was like touching the fire, and he immediately jumped up.
"En, Governor Zhu, this official gave you a seat, why don't you sit down? Are you despising this official?" Mu Yuan asked knowingly, and took him into an army.
"This ......" The fat prefect was sweating profusely, to sit or not to sit? If he didn't sit, he would probably be dragged out again and given a good beating, so he had to grit his teeth and sit down against the sharp pain in his buttocks.
"Oh, Governor Zhu, the official looked at your face with a very painful expression, but what is the discomfort?" Mu Yuan couldn't help laughing, and forced him to ask him again.
"Don't dare, don't dare. The fat prefect had a hard time, so he had to shake his head, "It's not uncomfortable, it's just, it's just that the adult Tianwei will let the lower officials bow their heads and bow their heads." ”
"Well, okay then, I'll tell you why I hit you. Mu Yuan nodded, "The official beat you, and the beating was not wronged, because the person kneeling in the hall, the case he committed is still suspicious, and the death penalty should not be light, you acted hastily and disregarded people's lives, so the official wants to beat you." ”
"This ......," the fat prefect replied suspiciously, "My lord, the evidence in this case is conclusive, why do you have any doubts?" ”
"Well, this official asks you, what is the evidence you are talking about?"
"Oh, this, here, present the evidence. The fat prefect waved his hand, and after a while, someone below took the small stone axe, and the blood stains on it were still there, and the three of them recognized at a glance that it was indeed something that was difficult to lose.
"Your Excellency, please see. The fat prefect pointed to the small stone axe, "The axe is small, but the blade is sharp, and there are blood stains on it, which is consistent with the wound on the back of the deceased's neck, and this person named Gao Wei was present at the time, and was caught by the family members of the high-ranking family, and there are human and material evidence, how can you say that you are wronged?"
"Oh, as far as I know, Gao Wei and the deceased are related to each other, and they have a very good relationship, so why did he kill someone? ”
"Hehe, my lord, that's right. The fat prefect looked triumphant, as if all the pain just now was gone, "It is precisely because the two are relatives that after Gao Wei came here, he saw that the other party's family had a big business, so he was red at the money in the family, so he thought of an idea to kill his life, isn't this an obvious motive." ”
"Fart!" Mu Yuan was afraid of shock, "It's nonsense, the suspicion of this case is like lice on a bald man's head, it is also obvious, you are so stupid to let the outlaws get by, how stupid you are." ”
"Ah, suspicious?" the fat prefect was shocked, "Please also ask your Excellency to make it clear, to make it clear." ”
"Well, listen up. Mu Yuan shook his head and said, "You said that Gao Wei killed people and was arrested on the spot, but I want to ask, since he killed someone, why didn't he run away, but stood in a pool of blood and waited for the family to come and get it?
"This ......," the fat prefect thought for a while, "as far as the lower officials know, he disturbed a woman in the Yuanwai Mansion and screamed, which attracted others on the spot. ”
"Nonsense! Think about it, there is still a weak woman in the room, who has no power to restrain the chicken, if he really killed people at that time, why did he leave a living mouth and attract outsiders? It's not good to kill people directly? Don't you think that he came in later and bumped into him, and he was saving people in a pool of blood?"
"This ......" the fat prefect was right to think about it, but said unwillingly, "Then what about the wound? The wound is anastomosis, this is ironclad evidence." ”
"Wound anastomosis?" Mu Yuan sneered, "How can you know that the wound is anastomosis with your naked eyes?"
"Among the yamen, the corpse has been examined by the servant, and it is indeed consistent. ”
"Oh, well, I've got a servant with me here, and you're going to bring the body to the court, and I'm going to do the autopsy myself. Mu Yuan pointed to Chu Xunyu beside him and announced the decision to re-examine the autopsy.
"Okay, good, the adult will personally examine the autopsy, come and carry the corpse. The fat prefect hurriedly asked people to carry the corpse.
After a while, the four officials carried a corpse covered with a white cloth to the lobby, and Mu Yuan saw this and whispered: "Ye Langzhong, it's your turn to show your might." ”
When Chu Xunyu heard it, he couldn't help but glance at him, regretting in his heart, how could he let him pretend to be an official, he already knew that it was better to give the gold medal to Wangchen than this kid talking nonsense. But after thinking about it, it was already like this, and I couldn't go back, so I had to go down the lobby and walk into the corpse.
"Huh, my lord, isn't he lifting people? Why is he doing it again?" The master on the side was curious, muttered in a low voice, and went to ask the fat prefect.
"Although he is a person, he is proficient in pharmacology and works part-time. Although the voice was small, it couldn't hide Chu Xunyu's ears, and replied lightly.
Slowly walked into the corpse, lifted the white cloth, and saw an old man who was nearly a year old, and there was indeed a wound on the back of his neck, like an axe blade cut, but Chu Xunyu was a cultivator, and the autopsy was for the demons, but it was not so easy to fool. So he took out a silver needle from his sleeve and pierced it into the throat of the deceased to see if there were any signs of poisoning.
Generally speaking, all the monsters in this world will habitually use their own conditions, such as poison into essence, taking people's lives, will be poisoned, fierce beasts to gain the Tao, killing methods, must be raw and biting, and so on, few give up their innate advantages. Now there are not many scratching marks on the corpse in front of me, so the first thing that comes to mind must be poisoning, silent, one of the best ways to take a person's life, piercing the silver needle into the pharynx, there is no abnormality, and there is no abnormal movement in all parts of the abdomen, which is really strange.
Chu Xunyu has been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has never seen such a stupid monster, did he really take an axe to cut people after spending a long time? It is not true to think about it, so he turned his head and asked Gao Wei, who had been kneeling beside him: "Brother Gao, have you noticed anything abnormal?"
Gao Wei raised his head, thought for a long time, shook his head, looked at the corpse of the fourth uncle, and felt sad: "There is nothing abnormal, it is that the fourth uncle's body is lighter than before, and there is no longer that thick figure." ”
"What?" Chu Xunyu felt doubtful, now after a few days, the blood stains in his body have dried up, and it is normal to be a little lighter, but Gao Wei's words seemed to be meaningful, and he immediately chased after him, and asked again: "Brother Gao, you can be clear, what did you say lightly?"
"No, I mean, when I was holding the fourth uncle in the blood that night, I felt a little lighter, I don't know if it was my delusion. ”
"Oh?" Chu Xunyu felt that he was touching the door, there must be an article, so he turned around and looked at the corpse again, everything was the same all over his body, his internal organs, limbs and torso were all intact, what made him lighter?
The right hand inadvertently touched the head of the corpse, knocked the head to the side and tilted it, it felt like something was wrong, and quickly weighed it with the palm of his hand, good guy, understood. Immediately turned around and took the small stone axe not far away, and smashed the head of the corpse under the horror of everyone. The next moment, everyone was stunned, it turned out that the fourth uncle's brain was completely empty, and there was no trace of the brain.
"See. Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, reacted immediately, and then said proudly to the fat prefect, "What else do you have to say?"
The fat prefect didn't care about the disgust, with disgusted eyes, stood up, looked at the corpse for a long time, and replied in horror: "Shangguan really has a magic eye like a torch, and the lower official admires it, but which madman did this? ”
"Ahh......h
At this time, Wangchen, who had been silent, finally spoke, and replied calmly: "It's inconvenient to say about this matter, because our Lord Shilang came here from Yingtian to investigate the case thoroughly by secret order. ”
"Oh, yes, yes. When the prefect heard this, it turned out that the imperial court wanted to track it down, and it seemed that he didn't have to worry about it, "Please also ask your Excellency to decide." ”
"Yes, good. Mu Yuan nodded, "After many investigations by the official, Gao Wei is really a wronged person, but he can't get out of it, okay, release Gao Wei immediately, but Gao Wei these days, you must always stay around the official, the official has something to ask you, and you must always supervise you, if you really kill someone, the official will be the first to do you, do you understand?
Then, the three of them took Gao Wei away smoothly, and repeatedly warned the fat prefect that they should pay a private visit to the people, not to disturb the people, and the prefect must not send someone to follow him, otherwise he will be charged, so frightened that the fat prefect nodded again and again, and even said that he didn't dare.
Watching their group slowly disappear at the gate of the mansion, the fat prefect couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and finally sent away these uncles, it seems that he still doesn't have much to do, so he went back to the mansion to recuperate. But it didn't take long for him to rush into the house in the evening, and he saw the master rushing into the house in a hurry, and he shouted, "My lord, my lord! ”
"What are you yelling about, what a big thing, a big thing has passed, I think you are a big thing. The fat prefect lay on the bed and reprimanded dissatisfiedly.
"No, no. The master hurriedly waved his hand, "Ying Tian is here again, and he is the servant of the ministry." ”
"Ah? No, the squire from the military department has just left, and the squire from the ministry has come again? Could it be that he has joined the official book?" The fat prefect was shocked, and hurriedly jumped up, changed his clothes and went out to greet him.
When I came to the lobby, I saw a group of people dressed in formal clothes in the hall, among which stood a man in official uniform with a black face, with a serious face, and the people next to him were holding seals and gold medals, without checking, they knew that they were genuine goods, but the most surprising thing was that the one sitting in the center of the lobby was actually a handsome young man, with sharp edges and corners, white robes, fair skin, and very deep eyes, but he turned his head to look at the white clouds outside the window, and felt that he had already traveled to the outside world, and he didn't care about anything.
The fat prefect endured the pain in his buttocks, and was about to kneel down to worship, the black-faced man was quite curious, and took the initiative to ask: "I am the right attendant of the Ming Dynasty, surnamed Wang, Zhu Governor, you have a painful face, do you seem to be injured?"
"Lord Hui, Xia Guan has just been beaten. ”
"Bastard!" Wang Shilang suddenly pulled down his black face and reprimanded: "It's ridiculous, you are an official of the imperial court, and you manage the people, how can there be a mob that dares to beat you? How do you govern the people?"
"No, no. The fat prefect hurriedly explained, "It wasn't the mob who beat it, it was the soldier who beat it." ”
"Ah, the soldier's squire, which soldier's waiter?"
"I forgot the name, I only remember that it seems to be surnamed Chu. ”
"What's your surname? "What's your surname?" said Master Wang, "One of the left and right servants of the military department is surnamed Li and the other is surnamed Zhang, and they all stayed in Yingtian to obey orders, how can they have the surname Chu? ”
"No, I'm not mistaken, and the gold medal is proof of that. ”
"No, I've never heard of a Chu Shilang, you won't ......" Lord Wang was puzzled.
At this moment, the handsome and handsome young man in the hall suddenly turned his head, made a sad voice, and interjected incredibly and asked, "Is that Chu Shilang you are talking about, is he a casual young man who has a hippie smile all day long and does not do his job?
"Oh?" said Wang Shilang curiously, "What, the immortal master knows this person?"
