Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

It was night, and everything was silent, and the whole Mengyang could only hear the watchman beating the watchman and singing loudly: "Everyone who has a family, I will be enshrined in the holy order; abide by the law, and protect everyone's property; be strict with gambling, There are criminals sitting together."

In Zhaojia Village outside the city, Zhao Ergou and his younger brother Li Tieniu sneaked in the bamboo forest.Li Tieniu chased away the mosquitoes around him, although it was already autumn, there were no shortage of mosquitoes, especially in the bamboo forest, the people who bit them were covered in bruises.

Li Tieniu found that he couldn't be chased away, so he simply put the bamboo rat on his head, and asked Zhao Ergou angrily, "Brother, when will we find that bamboo rat after searching so much?"

Zhao Ergou was startled by him when he turned his head, and knocked the bamboo off with a slap, and the bamboo rolled away far away. At this time, a gust of wind blew the bamboo directly into the depths of the bamboo forest.Zhao Ergou was furious again: "You idiot! That bamboo basket is for bamboo rats, who will cover your head! The voice is so loud in the middle of the night! I want to scare away my money bag !"

Li Tieniu responded, muttering in his heart that your voice is louder than mine.

This Zhao Ergou was originally from Zhaojia Village. His parents died early when he was a child, and his brother and sister-in-law treated him harshly, so he simply fooled around by himself, stumbling around until he was eighteen or nineteen years old.Although he has no money or land, he has recruited a few younger brothers in the village with some cleverness, so he can survive anyway, and Li Tieniu is his number one confidant.

During this period of time, due to the upsurge of eating bamboo rats in the city, the price of bamboo rats has risen one after another, and everyone is catching them to exchange for money.

But there were only so many bamboo rats, and many of them had been captured by Wen Yu and others before, so most of them had to return empty-handed.

But Zhao Ergou had a brain, he felt that this thing was naturally timid, and if you searched for it in a crowd during the day, you would definitely not find it, so he brought people to the bamboo forest at night to catch it.But I hate that Li Tieniu is so stupid that he knows how to make trouble for himself.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ergou kicked Li Tieniu again: "Why are you still standing there, go find the basket!"

Li Tieniu agreed, turned around and walked deep into the bamboo forest.

After walking for a long time, Zhao Ergou saw that he was silent for a long time, and shouted impatiently: "If you find your mother, get back! Do you still want me to invite you?"

There was still no sound in the distance, Zhao Ergou didn't think much, and walked towards the place where Li Tieniu was going, cursing and swearing.I thought that I would have to screen the younger brother's quality in the future, and I definitely don't want this stupid, lazy and slippery one.

As he was walking, Zhao Ergou suddenly felt something was wrong. Is the journey a little longer?

The pale moonlight shone on the bamboo forest, and the bamboo's projections hit the ground, as if female ghosts were waving at him, and the surroundings were as quiet as death, except for the heart-piercing chirping of a few autumn cicadas.

Zhao Ergou thought of the ghosts and ghosts told by the old people in the village before, his hairs stood on end, and his whole body shivered.He was hesitating whether to go back, when he saw Li Tieniu's figure.

Zhao Ergou was furious, he stepped forward in three steps and gave Li Tieniu a pestle.He scolded: "You lazy bastard! I told you to pick up something and walk so far! Are you deaf! Didn't you hear me calling you?"

At this moment, Li Tieniu seemed to be frozen, standing there motionless.Zhao Ergou became even angrier, because he ignored his own words!Just as he was about to continue beating and scolding him, Li Tieniu raised his hand and pointed forward tremblingly.

Zhao Ergou looked at him, and suddenly felt that his blood was frozen, and his crotch was wet and he urinated directly in his pants.

In the dim moonlight, a man stood upside down, his limbs were tied to a tree, and he was split in half with a knife from his crotch to his head.The blood from the internal organs flowed all over the place, staining the surrounding area bright red, and the stench attracted a lot of mosquitoes and flies.

Zhao Ergou and the two were so frightened that they fell to the ground, their legs were limp and they crawled for a long time without getting up.

Early the next morning, Wen Yu had just gotten up and finished washing, and was interrupted just after breakfast.

Deng Wulai reported that a murder case had occurred outside the city, and asked him to check it out as soon as possible.

Wen Yu was surprised. It stands to reason that things like homicide should be done according to the procedure. Usually, they would report to him and then the police would go to the scene quickly, record the details of the case and report to him. Why is it so urgent this time?So he asked Deng Wu.

Deng Wu showed embarrassment: "This case is quite special. The person who died was...Deputy Inspector Jiang..."

"What Jiang Lei is dead!" Wen Yu turned pale with shock.

Deng Wu looked sad. They had worked together in the process of suppressing bandits. Jiang Lei was witty and humorous, and he had a natural smile.Compared with the grumpy Wang Huike and the taciturn Xu Jing, his popularity is much better.Not only the inspection department, but also many people in the county government called him brothers and sisters.

"People from the inspection department are probably already here. After all, brother Jiang has an official position, and his death is quite miserable. When the subordinates received the news, they rushed to find the lord."

After hearing this, Wen Yu hurriedly led people to the scene. Although he was prepared in his heart, he was still shocked by the tragic scene.Forcibly suppressing the desire to vomit, Wen Yu stepped forward heavily.

Wu Zuo was collecting the corpses. Jiang Lei's limbs were tied too tightly. In addition, the murderer tied knots and tied them to death. In the end, he couldn't untie the rope and had to cut off the rope with a knife.

Wen Yu asked them to keep a part of the rope to see if they could research something.

At this time, dozens of people from the inspection department had already said that the scene was surrounded, and no one spoke.Wang Huike's eyes were full of tears, and the eyes of the others were also red.

Only Xu Jing still stood there expressionless, his eyes were so low that it was impossible to see his emotions, but Wen Yu felt that he must be very sad at this moment.

Xu Jing looked up at Wen Yu, saw the worry in his eyes, then froze slightly, and nodded to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu walked towards him and said, "Master Xu...you..."

Xu Jing interrupted him calmly: "Master Xie Wen is concerned. There is nothing wrong with being a subordinate. People cannot be resurrected after death. I just troubled Mr. Wen to track down the real culprit. If there is a need for an inspection department, we must be obliged to do so."

Wang Huike also bowed to Wen Yu beside him: "Lord County Magistrate, I was offended by the ignorance of the subordinate officials before, please don't remember the villain's mistakes, as long as I help my brother avenge, I will do whatever you want! "

Wen Yu recalled every detail of getting along with Jiang Lei, and couldn't help but be infected by them, feeling sour in his heart, and replied: "Don't worry, as long as I am in power in Mengyang for one day, I will definitely arrest the real culprit to comfort Mr. Jiang's spirit in heaven!"

Another case of killing an official occurred in Mengyang. Although the deputy inspector was only a small official under the ninth rank, he still had to report it to the higher authorities.Wen Yu wrote a note and sent someone to submit it, and then sat on a chair to sort out the case.

The people who found the body were two idlers from the countryside. According to the two of them, they ran to the depths of the bamboo forest to catch bamboo rats.

Now the two were terrified, and Wen Yu detained them in the county government for the convenience of questioning.It is said that they are detained, but in fact they are just not allowed to run around. The case has not been sorted out yet. As witnesses, accidents may happen to them.

The body is now stored in the morgue of the Yamen.Wen Yu asked specifically. Although Jiang Lei is a native of Mengyang, his parents died early. He grew up eating a variety of meals. He has no relatives. He did not marry a wife and had children. The inspection department is also responsible for the matter.

Thinking of this, Wen Yu felt that he couldn't wait any longer. Wu Zuo came to him before and told him that the body should be stitched up before it can be buried, but he was worried about destroying the evidence, so he had to solve the case immediately.So he ordered someone to bring Zhao Ergou and Li Tieniu here for interrogation.

The yamen servant obeyed the order and brought the two of them. Zhao Ergou even changed into new clothes. The previous one was already stained with blood and urine, and he couldn't even wear it.

It was the first time for them to see such a big official. In their hearts, Wen Yu was no different from Mengyang's local emperor, and they were too frightened to speak out.

Wen Yu saw that the two of them were a bit reserved, so he planned to ease the atmosphere first, and asked them about their age, place of residence, and some trivial matters in life.

Gradually, seeing Wen Yu's kind attitude, the two of them gradually relaxed, and Zhao Ergou was able to speak to Wen Yu on his own initiative.

Wen Yu saw that the two of them were both handsome, one lively and the other calm, and heard that the two of them hadn't started a business yet, so she couldn't help feeling sorry, so she advised: "I think you are young and powerful, and you have some abilities. A lot of waste is waiting to be done, and jobs are being recruited everywhere, you might as well go to the city to find a job, rather than wasting your time all day long."

Li Tieniu, the second dog of Zhao, was moved when he saw that Wen Yu, the parent and official, cared so much about him, and replied: "What your lord said is that Meng Yang can become like this, it is all thanks to your lord. To be honest, if there is no lord, now I'm afraid I've fallen into the grass and become a bandit."

Then he was a little embarrassed: "To tell you the truth, my brother and I plan to start a small business in the city after this incident. Even if we don't earn much money, it's better than just dawdling around all day."

Wen Yu nodded gratifiedly, and then asked: "Then, Zhao Ergou, please tell me the whole process of discovering the body, and try not to miss the details." Zhao Ergou and Zhao Ergou responded, recalling what happened that night .
