Datang Coroner

Chapter 455 is an acquaintance

Fu Shiyi slept until the afternoon, and when he woke up, he found that his aunt had arrived.

It's just that this time is different from the past - as soon as I got up and washed, I shrank back to the bed in pain.

Yan Niang boiled a bowl of thick ginger syrup and served it, she couldn't help worrying: "Why is it so powerful?"

Fu Shiyi pressed his stomach, sweating profusely: "I don't know. Maybe it's because I ate too much cold food. It hurts like this sometimes in the past. It doesn't matter, just get over it."

Yanniang fed her sugar water: "I'll go to the other side of the yamen and tell you, please ask for leave."

Fu Shiyi guessed that he couldn't do it anymore, so he nodded obediently.

It's just that it's hard to say why I asked for leave, I just said it was sick.

As soon as Yan Niang came back from the yamen, she saw Li Changbo's carriage slowly parked in front of her house.

She quickly stepped forward: "The young lady is sick today, and she is already on leave. Look, magistrate Li—"

"Ill?" Li Changbo frowned for a moment, and then asked, "Why are you so sick?"

Yanniang was vague: "I'm just sick. But it's not too serious, and I'll be fine after two days of rest."

Li Changbo thought for a moment, didn't ask any more questions, and just took Fang Liang to the Yamen by himself.

But when he arrived at the yamen, he told Fang Liang: "I'll make a prescription, you go get the medicine and send it to Miss Fu."

Fang Liang wondered: "You don't know what kind of illness Miss Fu has—"

Li Changbo looked determined: "Go."

Fang Liang could only follow orders.But I couldn't stop muttering in my heart: When did our lord change his career to become a doctor?Where did you learn the magic operator?

When Li Changbo arrived at the yamen, the first thing he did was to ask the portrait about missing people.

Not to mention, I really asked.

It was recognized by a student in the academy.

Li Haidao: "They are from the same village, they are all from Xiazhou. And they are all local prominent families, with rich families. It has been two years since he came here to study and take scientific examinations. Half a year ago, he received a letter from a friend, saying that his fellow villager also wanted to come to Chang'an. See you at that time. Calculate the time, it will be about the same."

"I sent someone out along the official road, and there should be a reply."

Li Changbo raised his eyebrows, "Where is that student?"

"My surname is Xu Mingzhou. I'm also in the Yamen now." Li Hai said concisely.

Li Changbo gave him an approving look, and then went to see Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou was not yet crowned, thin and elegant, his eyes were red at this time, obviously very sad.

Seeing Li Changbo, Xu Zhou quickly stood up and saluted.

After Li Changbo returned the gift, he asked him to sit down and asked about the deceased: "What's his name? How is the situation at home?"

"His name is Qin Kuang, and we are all from Xiazhou. His family is a prominent family, with both officials and businesses, and is very wealthy. There are only two sons in his family. He is an old man, and his family loves him very much. He has been loved since he was a child. The best master studied and practiced martial arts. It was just because he was reluctant to study in Chang'an alone, so he couldn't come to Chang'an with him. He mentioned Chang'an repeatedly in his letters, and he was very envious. I think he may have come here secretly without telling his family. When Xu Zhou said this, he sighed.

"He cares for his family, and he has a rebellious heart. I also persuaded him in the past."

"But I never thought of..."

Xu Zhou pressed the corners of his eyes with his sleeve again, and smiled apologetically, "Magistrate Li laughed.

Li Changbo nodded slightly, and asked inadvertently, "Have you been in the academy these days? Have you ever been out of the city?"

Xu Zhou shook his head: "No."

"Do you have his letter?" Li Changbo asked again.

Xu Zhou nodded: "It's still there. The bad guy has asked someone to pick it up. My book boy accompanied him."

"What's the address of Qin Kuang's home? I'm afraid I have to trouble you to write it down so that we can send a letter to inform you." Li Changbo stared at Xu Zhou, speaking politely.

Xu Zhou didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and he didn't seem to be aware of Li Changbo's interrogation, so he just nodded.

"Since he is a prominent family member, why doesn't Qin Kuang have a bookboy accompanying him?" Li Changbo asked Xu Zhou while Xu Zhou was writing his address.

After Xu Zhou finished writing and put down his pen, he shook his head: "I don't know. After all, we haven't seen each other for two years. I don't know everything about his current situation."

After saying this, Xu Zhou bowed deeply to Li Changbo again: "Magistrate Li, I need to trouble you to find out the truth about this matter, so that Qin Kuang's grievances can be cleared up. His family is not here. , you tell me. Anyway, he is a fellow villager and friend, and I am no different from his family."

Li Changbo stared at Xu Zhou for a long time, then smiled slightly: "Mr. Xu has a kind heart."

Xu Zhou's eyes turned red: "It was originally agreed that I would take him to recite poems and fight wine when he comes, but now it's empty talk—I just hope that he can rest in peace."

Qin Kuang's letter was quickly retrieved.

Li Changbo read it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Moreover, after reading the letter, he also found that Qin Kuang was indeed a simple-minded person who was somewhat rebellious towards his family.

Maybe it's an old man, so it's inevitable that there is a lot of love and care.So that there are too many constraints.So Qin Kuang couldn't go his way in many things.

In the last letter, Qin Kuang also said that he was not willing to be forced by his family to get married.He also talked about the prosperity of Chang'an, and said that he planned to visit Chang'an.

Li Changbo read the letter and looked at Xie Shuangfan.

Xie Shuangfan stroked his beard: "Isn't this simple? Obviously, he was dissatisfied with the arrangement at home, so he ran out by himself. An ignorant child always does such stupid things. It not only worries the family, but also troubles others."

Li Changbo secretly glanced at Xu Zhou.

Xu Zhou looked embarrassed - but he didn't mean to refute.

With a slight cough, Li Changbo changed the topic back: "So maybe he really doesn't have a book boy with him."

Xie Shuangfan rubbed the center of his brows: "And he didn't even have a single valuable thing left on him, so it's very likely that Cai Lubai was exposed, and people were motivated by seeing Cai."

Although Li Changbo didn't admit it, he felt that this was very possible.

There was no doubt about Xu Zhou, so Li Changbo quickly let Xu Zhou go.

After Xu Zhou left, Li Changbo looked at Xie Shuangfan: "Uncle Xie thinks this case is just for money? It doesn't make sense. From Xiazhou to Chang'an, the road so far ahead is safe and sound--the accident happened only at the border of Chang'an." .”

Xie Shuangfan stroked his beard and pondered: "It is true that Xu Zhou has never been out of the city, nor have the people around him. Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, who can tell what is going on in the world?"

Li Changbo rubbed the center of his brows: "But no matter what, the murderer must be found out. Judging from what Miss Fu found out, although the time of death and the cause of death are also certain, it is still difficult to find the real murderer." .”

"Have those two farmers questioned carefully? Did they gain anything?"

Xie Shuangfan shook his head: "No gain, I asked several times, but the words are the same. Maybe someone really buried the body there on purpose. But why is it buried in such a conspicuous place——"
