The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 56 Preparation
While all the adults were in a good mood, the official prestige was over, and the atmosphere was dignified and dull for a while, so many yamen servants lowered their heads and sweated coldly.

Zeng Yuzuo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands, "Sir, it's the villain who didn't teach his apprentice well. It's a good thing that she is willing to use her brain to think of new ways to investigate the autopsy and solve the case, but she is still young, inexperienced, and ill-considered..."

"Zeng Zuozuo, thank you for your hard work." The county magistrate's only Zuzuo, no matter how the county magistrate would blame him for this twilight old man.

"This officer knows that you cherish this apprentice, and I heard that she is a rare talent. She learned some autopsy skills by reading autopsy books written by her predecessors. I think she is young and frivolous. It is also for her good to beat her, and this official will not care about her, a little girl."

"Thank you, Magistrate Haihan!"

In addition to being fortunate, Zeng Yuzuo gave a deep bow, turned around and pulled Chen Yuan to urge, "Silly boy, come and thank you for your generosity!"

These Shangguans have their own way of talking, they don't even look at what is written on the board that Chen Yuan is holding. Chen Yuan is grateful to Zeng Yuzuo to intercede on his behalf, but this matter should not be reduced to this point.

In the final analysis, it was the inability to speak to defend himself that caused all this.

Just when Chen Yuan was being pulled to bow by Zeng Yuzuo, Liu Yanchun, who was standing silently behind the people, stood up, "My lord, Senior Sister told me before that she can extract fingerprints from murder weapons."

"What?" This time, the person who was most shocked was Zeng Zuozuo. Joy climbed up his folds covered with wind and frost. He didn't even bother to apologize to his apprentice, and looked at her earnestly, "Teacher, you really can The fingerprints on the murder weapon were extracted?"

Chen Yuan nodded firmly.

Zeng Chi also has his own pursuits after being a writer all his life. If this method is really realized, I don’t know how much it will reduce unjust, false and wrongful convictions. She is not a big talker, the little old man is willing to vouch for her, and I ask the adults to give her a chance to verify the method of her fingerprint extraction, if this method can be verified, it will be a great achievement!"

With Zeng Chi as security, Li Fei is also a little more confident. Li Fei is his subordinate. If she can succeed, it will be beneficial to him. Even if she fails, it will not be worse than the current result.

"Lord Magistrate, anyway, you have to wait for the evidence and testimony to be collected before proceeding. During this period, it is better to let Li Fei try her method."

Director Xiao also said, "We won't lose anything anyway."

Wei Xiancheng, who had the most opinions, looked at his colleagues who pinned their hopes on the dumb girl with the eyes of a fool.

The magistrate, who didn't want to cause trouble at first, only felt like a thorn in his heart. This Wei county magistrate was too ignorant of everyone. Did he treat his magistrate as a fool in the past?
Someone took the ladder, and Guan Zhixian thought about it in his heart, but he just went down the pole. If such a thing is done, it can save the face of the Wei County Chancellor.

Thinking like this, Guan Zhixian kept his words intact, "Since you recommend Li Fei, as the county magistrate, you also want to make some efforts for the prison. If you succeed, it's good, and if you fail, it's not shameful. It shouldn't be based on success or failure. Hero, Li Fei has this idea, and the yamen should support it."

Everyone bowed their heads in unison, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Chen Yuan also gave a salute, thankful that she had figured out how to act according to the regulations in the county government during this time, and now she has proposed a method to compare fingerprints.

If you hadn't communicated with the adults first, and then went up and said this method when you were promoted to the court, I'm afraid you would be charged with disturbing the court, and in addition, you would be cursed by the people who heard it.

No one is more concerned about this matter than the county magistrate in charge of the prison. After getting the approval of the magistrate, he couldn't wait to ask, "How many days will it take to verify this law?"

Chen Yuan has also collected some minerals such as kelp and magnets these days, but the extraction tools are relatively primitive, and she did not dare to ask for it. She wrote, "It will take three to five days."

"What utensils and materials are needed."

Chen Yuan wrote about several kinds of ores that she couldn't find and pearls that she couldn't buy at all. She also wrote about tools such as hammers, stone mills, donkeys, two jars of liquor, and bamboo.

Not only Lieutenant Ge, everyone looked puzzled, but no one asked why these things.

"Okay, the county government can provide you with these things." Although the things you want are very strange, but fortunately these things are not expensive, the psychological burden of the county magistrate is even smaller, "However, why do you still need to be at the head of the class? He has to investigate the case recently, so I'm afraid he won't have time to help you for three or five days."

After thinking about it, Chen Yuan wrote on the paper, "Yu Bantou has a lot of strength and will be clever."

"That doesn't have to be the head of the class." Zeng Yuzuo explained, facing everyone's doubtful eyes, "Shui Sheng's strength is also very strong."

Zeng Shuisheng, this name came to mind in the minds of the four adults, oh, this is the guy who fainted, who went through the back door and became a yamen based on Zeng Zuo's relationship.

Such a person can't help when investigating a murder case, it is better to let him do the hard work.

"Then let Shui Sheng help Li Fei."

The matter was thus settled.

Yu Quan did not bring the yamen to Yizhuang, but returned directly to the yamen, so Chen Yuan did not see him.

However, Chen Yuan still wrote a letter and entrusted it to Bantou Yu.

The four adults also got into the sedan chair and returned to the county office.

From the beginning, Chen Yuan didn't plan to hide the method of extracting fingerprints. She didn't invent it originally, and she could not do it by taking it as her own to improve her fame and fortune.

It was originally intended to popularize this method, so that all of Nanli's writers could learn it, so that they could use this method to solve crimes without her presence. This was Chen Yuan's wish.

Therefore, when making magnetic powder and using kelp to extract iodine, they did not avoid the yamen sent by the magistrate, and asked everyone to help. Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high, but it was made in two days.

After knowing that she had made everything, the four adults rode to Yizhuang overnight.

The entire Yizhuang was guarded like an iron barrel by the yamen, and they valued this verification more nervously than Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan did not break their minds. If this method is accomplished, it will be dedicated to the emperor, and all the participants may have their names in history, which will be helpful to their future.

At this moment, what Wang Qi is not Wang Qi is not important in their eyes at all.

Chen Yuan did not first experiment with the murder weapon in Wang Qi's case, but took more than a dozen different materials, large and small, and placed them on the table.

There are daggers, jade pendants, inkstones, guqin, bluestone slabs, wooden sticks, white porcelain tea cups, glazed cups, large stones on the side of the road, rice paper, leather waistbands...

Then they wiped clean in front of everyone.

After calling a few more people, they went up to pick up the utensils with their bare hands, and then put them down.

Some people are just playing, some people are watching a play, and some people are waiting to see Chen Yuan humiliated, they just feel like she is pretending to be a family.
