The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 108

No matter how much Mrs. Jiang tried to ensure that what she said was true, everyone just responded in a perfunctory way, and hoped that this issue would be exposed quickly so that she would not continue to say something disrespectful to the deceased.

In June, no matter how big the sun is in Lingnan during the day, it is extremely cool at night. The white mist in the mountains and forests looks a bit fairy under the night light, but it is a miasma-killing forest that outsiders dare not venture into.

Only at night, the woods where no one dares to trespass becomes a paradise for all kinds of small animals, and the constant chirping of insects, birds and apes scares the night walkers so much that they dare not breathe out.

Sensing the tense atmosphere of everyone, Mrs. Jiang finally shut up.

The yamen servants carried the lanterns of Yizhuang to clear the way, and there were six coffins passing by, and the bandits didn't dare to come out to try their luck.

Chen Yuan took the opportunity to close her eyes to rest, and when Zeng Shuisheng woke her up, she could already see Yizhuang.

At the gate of Yizhuang, two luminous white lanterns swing with the wind, as if they are guiding the direction of the lonely ghosts.

The long fire dragon stopped at the gate, and hurried forward, knocking on the gate of Yizhuang.

It didn't take long for Uncle Zhuang to open the door. He glanced at the tired crowd outside. Perhaps he had seen too much life and death in Yizhuang, and his eyes under the messy hair were very indifferent.

There was no trace of curiosity or pity for the six new black coffins.

With a rough voice, he said, "Come in."

No matter how anxious they were to get to Yizhuang along the way, when they really entered the gloomy and cold Yizhuang, the boys in Xiyuan Village just wanted to put down the coffin and run away.

The lobby of the Yizhuang has been cleaned up, leaving the place for six coffins to be parked and sacrificed.

When the young man from Xiyuan Village put the coffins one by one, Uncle Zhuang spread paper money around the coffin like a magic stick, chanting words that Chen Yuan couldn't understand.

After the six coffins were all parked, Uncle Zhuang lit three sticks of incense and put them on the incense burner in front of the shrine, and said to the young man in Xiyuan Village with his hands tied, "You burn incense sticks, make a bow, and go home on your own after you have done your best. "

Following his example, the young men of Xiyuan Village took three sticks of incense and lit them, and put them on the incense burner sincerely. After bowing to the dead one by one, they left Yizhuang in a swarm.

Even though there were so many people pouring into the Yizhuang just now, it didn't add much excitement to the Yizhuang, because no one dared to make a noise in the Yizhuang, for fear of waking up the sleeping ghosts.

Now that they have left, Yizhuang has only returned to its usual desertedness.

If everyone doesn't take the initiative to speak, the taciturn Uncle Zhuang won't talk to anyone.

Ma Li wanted to confess, but saw that Uncle Zhuang had already opened a coffin and looked inside, "..."

"Uncle Zhuang, the six members of this family died very badly, you have to help them clean up, hey."

Uncle Zhuang nodded silently.

"I'll ride back to the county office immediately and call the coroner. The yizhuang will be busy all night today. Arrange a room here first, and put the old lady Jiang in." Mentioning the old lady Jiang, the horsepower was fierce. Pursing his lips, he looked back at the white-haired old lady who neither wanted to enter the lobby nor dared to leave too far.

In the criminal law, the autopsy must be done as early as possible. Uncle Zhuang understands this truth and is not impatient. "Yizhuang is empty and there are few people. I can't watch her all the time."

"I will let someone protect her." According to Ma Ma's previous thinking, Mrs. Jiang should be taken to the county government for interrogation, and the county government is safer.

But now, he strongly agrees with Team Leader Yu's idea that the old lady should stay in Yizhuang, and it would be better for her to tell ghosts what she said, so as not to make the county government a mess.

"Okay." Uncle Zhuang limped towards the door and said to Mrs. Jiang, "Come with me."

The old man can't stand the toss. Mrs. Jiang talked about it with great enthusiasm for a long time before, but now she has already faded away. She knows that Uncle Zhuang took her to rest. Follow Uncle Zhuang.

In order to avoid the murderers who might sneak into the coffin transport team, so many yamen servants were sent to escort them. Now that the young people in Xiyuan Village have left cleanly, there is no need for all the yamen servants to stay in Yizhuang.

Ma Li's eyes swept over his colleagues one by one, he and Sun Aniu would not be able to stay, and it was not very good to only keep the brothers from the Zaoban and Zhuangban.

"Brothers, A Niu and I can't take it any longer. I always feel itchy and smelly all over my body, as if I was accidentally stained by maggots from the corpse. We must hurry home and take a bath and burn incense." Ma Li didn't lie either. He scratched his arms and back for a while.

He is not the head of the squad, so he can't directly give orders to the other squads, so he can only beg his brother to show kindness with a sad face, "I asked Shui Sheng to stay and protect Mrs. Jiang, you see, which brother is good, stay and help You don’t need to do anything else, just guard the door, and when we return to the county office, the coroner will bring someone over and we can leave.”

Wu Lei from the Zhuang class put his arm around Jiang Cheng, "The brothers from the Zao class are good at guarding the gate."

Yan Xiaoliu and Zheng Huai were a little annoyed, but they refused to take the job on themselves, and glared at Zhuangban with the same hatred, "We are also guarding the gate of the county government to clear the way for the county magistrate, and your Zhuangban has no specifics Tolerance, where you need to make up, stay at the entrance of the Yizhuang lobby, and you will be fine."

Kuaiban, Zaoban, and Zhuangban are all yamen servants, but Kuaiban has done a lot of hard work in arresting prisoners. Zaoban is closer to the county magistrate, and the Zhuangban is mostly doing odd jobs, which seems a bit marginal.

Seeing the four people in the second class quarreling, Ma Li looked at the sky and sighed, but he didn't want to hurt the peace of the brothers because of himself, "Everyone calm down, brothers, don't quarrel over this matter, forget it, let me guard it, Hurry up and go back to the county office, anyway, it's only a short while."

The only contradiction disappeared, and the four of them stopped talking immediately.

Sun A Niu couldn't bear the faction of these four people, and said to Ma Li, "Brother Ma, you go back, my sister-in-law is still waiting for you at home, I am alone, I will guard."

Thinking of his daughter-in-law at home, Mali didn't refuse in the end, and patted Sun Aniu on the shoulder, "Brother, I'll treat you to a drink some other day!"

"That's necessary." Sun Aniu replied with a smile. Brothers should help each other, and brother Mali also takes good care of him on weekdays.

As soon as the yamen servants left, the Yizhuang became even more deserted. Sun Aniu closed the gate of the Yizhuang, pulled the latch, yawned, and stood guard at the gate.

At this time, Chen Yuan had already fallen asleep in the room provided by Yizhuang for Wu Zuo after a simple wash.

I don't know which adult will be sent to be the coroner today. It will take an hour or two for the yamen servants to wake up the adult and pack up and rush over. She can't do the autopsy without sleeping.

Why don't you sleep?
Sleeping hazily, suddenly heard a scream, resounding shrillly throughout Yizhuang, frightened Chen Yuan woke up from her sleep.

"Ghost!"

"Help, help, Sanpao, I didn't kill you, you are a dead ghost, you have a wronged person and a debtor, go find your killer! What do you want me for!"
