So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

When the housekeeper saw Xiao Yueshan, he felt that he had talked too much and must not scare the lady, so he quickly stopped talking and said, "Mr. Shou, the judge of Fengtian Prefecture, has reported it to Mr. Liang, the prefect. I'm afraid it's a big case and wants to report it to the Dali Temple. Please go and take a look in person."

Shou Junwu, the Tongpan of Fengtian Prefecture, was a close friend whom Ji Shu met when he was exiled to Suzhou, a cold frontier province, when the situation was most difficult.

Shou Junwu is the youngest son of Duke Dingguo. He has been spoiled since childhood and got tired of the wealth and splendor of the capital, so he ran to the border to travel.

He was born into a top wealthy family, but he loved investigating and solving cases the most. He was free and unrestrained. Ji Shu cleared up many of his doubts, and when he learned about Ji Lian's past, he admired him even more. From then on, he always regarded himself as Ji Shu's student.

It seems that this case is indeed a bit tricky, and Shou Junwu couldn't help but ask him to come over to help.

Ji Shu thought about it and invited Zhou Yao to go to the scene to check it out. Xiao Yueshan also wanted to go with him. But Ji Shu was afraid that she would be scared, so he only agreed to let her wear a long veil and sit in the carriage before going with him.

There were veils and carriages, would there be any difference between going and not going? She was speechless... But it was better than not letting her go, so she agreed to Ji Shu's request.

When they arrived at Yonghe Lane, Shou Junwu and his men had already secured the scene, and the coroners from Fengtian Prefecture were cleaning up the body parts and bones inside the stone wall.

The stench made Xiao Yueshan want to vomit, but she was afraid that if she acted too much, she would be sent home by Ji Shu. She could only bite the bullet, clench her hands, endure the nausea, and sit in the carriage to adjust her mentality.

After Zhou Yao's experience in Jiangzhou, this kind of scene no longer frightened him. He got out of the car with Ji Shu to check the scene.

As soon as Shou Junwu saw Ji Shu, he quickly stepped forward and said loudly, "Teacher, you are finally here!"

He looked around and whispered, "You may not know that the stone wall where the body is hidden is the pigsty of this family. The stench of pigs and corpses is really disgusting to me."

Although Shou Junwu likes solving cases, he is very amateur. Duke Dingguo and his wife are reluctant to let their son take risks. How unlucky it is to deal with the dead! The wife of Duke Dingguo couldn't help but pray when she thought about it.

Seeing that he could not persuade his youngest son, Duke Dingguo consoled himself by saying that his son just liked solving cases, which was much better than the other playboys from aristocratic families who liked to flirt with cats and dogs and indulge in wine and women. So he wrote a letter to ask for an imperial decree to give his son a position as a magistrate at the doorstep.

The public security in the capital has always been very good. Usually, there are only some muddled lawsuits involving petty thefts, quarrels and fights. Even if there are major cases, it is not his turn to handle them. He will just wait until his son has satisfied his addiction to being a "honest judge".

"Who is this?" When Shou Junwu saw Zhou Yao, he actually bowed first, without any airs of a duke's son.

"This is my elder brother's grandson, Zhou Yao, the Censor of Xijiang Province. Yao'er, this is Lord Shou Junwushou, the Tongpan of Fengtian Prefecture." Ji Shu briefly introduced the two and then plunged into the intense investigation work.

"You are Zhou Yao!" Shou Junwu put his arm around Zhou Yao's shoulders in a familiar manner. "I heard from my father about your impassioned speech at the morning court! I really admire you!

I'll treat you some other day, and we'll go to the newly opened elegant pavilion 'Drunk in the Flower Shade', the music there is the best! I'll call a few good friends to get together, and ask Brother Zhou to tell us about Jiangzhou in detail, so that we can broaden our horizons!"

Shou Junwu had requested the position of Tongpan of Fengtian Prefecture with great care. It just happened to be a fifth rank position, which meant he didn't have to attend court every day. He didn't like being constrained by nature, and it would be very annoying for him to get up before dawn every day to listen to those old men reporting trivial matters.

"No, no, Teacher Ji is your great uncle, and I am Teacher Ji's apprentice. So you should call me uncle-master!" Shou Junwu said to himself.

"But when we are brothers, we still have our own opinions!" He smiled like a heartless golden retriever.

Zhou Yao could not accept Shou Junwu's excessive enthusiasm, nor did he like his novelty of treating the tragic scene of millions of corpses in Jiangzhou as a spectacle.

He did not accept Shou Junwu's invitation. He took the scarf handed to him by the yamen runner, tied it on his face, and walked towards the knocked down stone wall.

Broken bricks and stones were scattered all over the ground. The coroners had already picked out the large pieces of bones and sorted them out. Several people were further cleaning up the broken bodies and bones in the ruins.

Shou Junwu wanted to suppress his nausea and go with Ji Shu and Zhou Yao to look for clues. But he hesitated for a long time and didn't have the courage to go closer. Just staying there for a while was enough to give him nightmares for several days. Since Teacher Ji is here, let's leave it to him...

Ji Shu and a group of coroners finished cleaning up the victim's remains. The veteran coroner had already separated the bones at the scene.

A rough count showed at least four dead bodies, one of whom looked like a young man, with black bones all over his body, obviously poisoned. There was also a woman of similar age, and two older men and women.

The bones of the four people were badly broken, making it difficult to tell the cause of death. Even distinguishing and sorting them out took a lot of time.

Even though the stench of corpses was overwhelming and the bones were horrifying, the onlookers were still enthusiastic and came out to watch the fun.

It is only thanks to the high reward offered by Zhao Lingji after Song Pu was assassinated that the body was able to see the light of day.

In order to get rich overnight, the common people tore down walls and tiles everywhere. The more deserted temples and dilapidated houses were, the more people searched for them. Some people even opened their own cowsheds and pigpens, wishing that the thief was hiding in their own homes.

It rained a few days ago, and after nearby residents searched for it, the foundation of the stone wall became somewhat loose.

It was a sunny day today. Ma Laosan, who lived next door to Li Laoliu, wanted to climb up to his house to see if there were any Tibetans on the roof. Unexpectedly, he stepped on empty air and fell down, pushing down the stone wall of Li Laoliu's pigpen, which revealed the white bones trapped in the wall.

The area around Yonghe Lane was inhabited by traders. The owner of this house was Li Laoliu, a butcher. He often bought pigs to slaughter and sell at home, so he had a pigpen at home to facilitate the turnover of the purchased fat pigs.

The bailiffs had already detained Li Laoliu's family. He cried out that he was innocent and said he knew nothing about it. His wife and children were sobbing beside him.

Li Laosan was a big man with a dark body and a whisker. He was kneeling on the ground and begging, looking a bit pitiful and a bit funny.

Ma Lao San, who lived next door, was a fresh fishmonger who was equally strong. He fell from the roof and knocked down the wall, only to suffer some superficial injuries. Although the two were not in the same business, they did not get along well.

Ma Laosan stood with his hands on his waist, loudly refuting Li Laoliu's accusation: "What are you accusing? Master, I think it was Li Laoliu who did it! We have been neighbors for many years, and we know each other well! Only his family moved to our Yonghe Lane last year! I have always seen him with shifty eyes, he must have killed someone and sold the human flesh as pork!"

Ji Shu, Zhou Yao, and Xiao Yueshan all keenly noticed this "last year", and a name emerged in the minds of the three people - Deng Wenkai!
