It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 170 Depression
The five county magistrates all died of such strange reasons, and four or five years have passed since the incident. It is impossible for the five lives to be all accidents. However, after the initial inspection and re-inspection, no one raised any Doubtful.

Either there is someone who has the ability to make the obviously abnormal autopsy conclusion normal, not only conceal it, but also deceive it, and handle this series of things seamlessly without any flaws.

Either the method of committing the crime was too secretive, and nothing could be found out according to the usual autopsy and investigation.

But no matter how hands and eyes are in the sky, apart from the son of heaven, the son of the prince of the county like Yuan Mu is already considered the closest person to "heaven". Now he wants to help him check these together, which means that he just feels something is wrong, but not Know the tricks behind it.

In this way, the second possibility becomes larger.

No matter how clever the method is, it is definitely not something that one or two people can do to assassinate the court officials, or five in a row. There may be extensive involvement behind it, so Yuan Mu wants to find a helper with a clean background for himself.

Mu Liuyun took the booklet and read it over and over again, pondering as he read it, until the carriage stopped, Yuan Mu and others got into the carriage one after another, preparing to eat something and take a rest, and found that Mu Liuyun was so long. I never drank a sip of water during that time, so I just held the booklet and read it intently.

Yuan Mu sat over, took the booklet out of her hand, and put it aside, Mu Liuyun was startled, and then realized that the car had stopped, and there were a few more people in the car.

"There is no need to rush this matter for a while, it needs to be discussed in the future, so there is no need to worry too much about it." He said to Mu Liuyun.

With Jiang Jin present, Mu Liuyun didn't say anything, nodded quickly, took back those thoughts just now, drank tea and talked with them as if nothing had happened, and ate some cakes to fill their empty stomachs.

It's not that she is worried about Jiang Jin, it's just that the things Yuan Mu wants to investigate are obviously not simple. As an outsider who can't help much in the first place, the less Jiang Jin knows about these things, the safer.

Jiang Jin was still a little apprehensive about Mu Liuyun's trip this time before he set off, but after driving all morning, Mu Liuyun sat alone in the carriage and read the brochure Yuan Mu gave her, while Yuan Mu rode all the time. The horse walked in front, which made him a little relieved. Seeing that Mu Liuyun deliberately didn't mention the task Yuan Mu had arranged for her in front of him, he also tacitly didn't ask.

It's no wonder that he was worried, thinking that they were just studying in the academy together at the beginning, when he found out that Mu Liuyun was actually a daughter, he was frightened and horrified.

Later, thinking that the two of them had a deep friendship and were close friends who could get along with each other, he insisted on chewing up the secret and swallowed it down.

Later, Mu Liuyun went to join the army as a manager, which frightened him again, and he couldn't stop him even if he tried to stop him. In the past few years, he hadn't felt particularly at ease about her job.

Jiang Jin thinks that Mu Liuyun is a smart person. Since it is already a big secret that women disguise themselves as men, they should keep a low profile and not attract the attention of others, but Mu Liuyun has a unique and bold style of acting. Few people didn't know that she was a weirdo who liked to play with dead people's bones, let alone the women she rescued and took in at home.

Jiang Jin felt that, as Mu Liuyun's friend for many years, she felt so shocking about her behaviors of dressing up as a man and joining the army as a manager, and doing autopsies and sometimes investigating cases. Will he be as open-minded as he said to Mu Liuyun?

It was precisely because of this worry that when Mrs. Mu asked him to discuss it, he readily agreed to follow Mu Liuyun and the others this time.

As a result, this morning, it seemed that Yuan Mu paid more attention to protecting Mu Liuyun's private space than himself. There were a few times when she was nestled in the car and did not move for a long time. He wanted to pick up the curtain to see what was going on in the car, but he found out and stopped him. He found an excuse to interrupt him, and stopped him.

At noon, Jian simply ate some cakes and drank some water on the way, and continued on their way in the afternoon. At night, they arrived at a county town, entered the city before closing the city gate, and found an inn to stay in. The next morning, we set off again as soon as it was light.

After driving for three days in a row, before lunch time on the fourth day, they finally arrived at Yuyong County under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, which was also the county where Bai Dong's autopsy was performed 18 years ago.

Yuan Mu had already made arrangements to leave Shangsi and the coachman in the post station closest to Yuyong County, and hired a pony carriage for Mu Liuyun to take, and then headed towards Yuyong County.

It stands to reason that at noon this time is the busiest time in the counties, and the gates of the city should be bustling with people coming and going, whether they are visiting relatives or doing business, there must be crowds of people, but the gates of Yuyong County look particularly depressed .

The dilapidated gatehouse looked as if it hadn't been repaired for a long time. The gray-black stone bricks were covered with moss marks from every summer in the past, and the patches were black and dirty.

Beside the city gate stood two listless gatekeepers. One was leaning against the city wall, with his helmet half covering his face, as if he was dozing off. paddling on the ground.

The people who passed by the gate of this city also looked ashen, and it didn't feel like they were going to enter the county town, but rather like they were going to pass through the gate of hell.

"Could it be that this is not the most prosperous city gate in Yuyong County? How could it be so deserted?" Jiang Jin had never been here before, so he was a little puzzled to see such a situation.

Yuan Mu looked solemn, looked at the listless guards in front of the city, and raised his hand to signal, Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi first rode their horses and walked in front, and the rest followed behind, quickly entered the city, and did not continue to stay outside the city gate.

After entering the city, the situation inside the county town is not much better than it looks outside the city. The roads along the way are broken, and the pedestrians on the side of the road are listless and dejected. After walking for a while, there are no vendors setting up stalls. When they went to the restaurants, inns, and other shops on the roadside, they almost didn't realize that this was the most prosperous area in Yuyong County.

"Look for an inn to stay, eat something, and then let's go to the county government office." Yuan Mu looked around and said.
