The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 11 The Trial of Zhou Dong
Your Excellency is mighty, turn the screen and sit down.

The standing class in the hall was loud and mighty, while Zheng Nian stood aside.

He was surrounded by a lot of things, so it was difficult to deal with it, and now he was still thinking about the case of His Royal Highness, and his heart was in a mess.

"Who's next?" Xin Delong was full of anger, and made a decision to ask.

Zhou Dong, who was kneeling below, hurriedly reported his name, "Little Zhou Dong...has met an adult!"

"What!" Xin Delong's evaluation came so suddenly that Zheng Nian was a little surprised.

"Who did you kill?"

The angles are tricky too.

Zhou Dong was stunned, "I didn't kill anyone! My lord!"

Xin Delong didn't care what he said, and immediately threw the order on the ground in front of him, "People are bitter bugs, they can't beat them, twenty big boards!"

The two yamen servants immediately walked to Zhou Dong's side with the water and fire ruthless sticks, swung the sticks and hit the ground for a full twenty sticks before giving up.

Zhou Dongren was numb, lying on the ground panting, unable to stand up.

"Zhou Dongshi!" The magistrate of Chang'an County said angrily, "It's not true!"

"My lord... recruit... I recruit!"

Ordinary people can't hold twenty big boards at all, Zhou Dong was naturally frightened by the beating, he lay on the ground trembling and said, "My lord, I'm recruiting."

"Say!" Xin Delong looked joyful.

"Caomin just likes mature women and young women. The tailor's daughter-in-law is full of charm. The place that should be big is big, and the place that should be small is small. She walks with twists and turns. Naturally, she is a favorite of Caomin. He often crawls on him. Peeking through the door frame or roof of the house..."

"Where is it big!" Xin Delong asked sharply.

Zhou Dong was sweating profusely, clasping his hands in claws on his chest.

Zheng Nian hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "My lord, it's not important."

Xin Delong nodded blankly, "Continue!"

Zhou Dong lay on the ground again, "At the fourth watch last night, Caomin got up early and climbed up the room as usual, and as a result...then saw that...that scene!"

"Later, I walked in through the main entrance and saw the..."

Speaking of this, Zheng Nian thought of what Zhou Dong said at the door of the house where the accident happened, so he asked Xin Delong for instructions first, and the adults allowed him to speak before asking, "Will you see the blood on the bed?" Who is it?"

"At that time... I actually saw Zhang Fu and his wife..." Zhou Dong recalled.

"Are you sure it's the two of them?" Zheng Nian asked.

Zhou Dong recalled it subconsciously, and then slowly said, "What does this poor man mean? With the moonlight, he can naturally see that it is Zhang Fu. If the person on the side is not his wife, who else can it be?"

"See Zhang Fu's face?"

"Of course I saw it." Zhou Dong nodded, very sure.

Zheng Nian walked to the master's side and said in a low voice, "The two people in the room have no heads, only bodies."

"Zhou Dongshi! You fart, we almost went to the scene to investigate, but we didn't find the head of the corpse, only two cavity! You said you could see Zhang Fu, talking nonsense!" Xin Delong decided, "It's not true! "

Zhou Dong had never seen this world before, even imagining it was enough to scare him, he pissed his pants in court, "My lord wronged me, my lord! I just have some hobbies, but I really don't have the guts to kill people!"

Xin Delong is still torturing Zhou Dong, but Zheng Nian has come to a conclusion.

Zhou Dong is definitely not suspected, but he is still inseparable from the case, Zheng Nian always feels that he is not telling the truth.

At this point, there is not much progress in the case, and Zhou Dong can only be temporarily detained in prison.

"Where's Wu Zuo? How is the experience of the corpse?" Xin Delong asked.

Zheng Nian came over, "My lord, there is no difference between your work and the old man. I'm afraid the old man's health is not good, so don't run around. I went for an autopsy, and the cause of death was the same for both of them. They were killed with a stab in the abdomen. According to what Zhou Dong said, It must have been cut after death."

"Oh... Thank you for your hard work, I will reward you with three taels of silver!" Xin Delong directly threw the broken silver onto the table.

Zheng Nian took it, thought about it, and asked, "My lord, Jingzhaoyin's official position is currently vacant, and the officials from above are expected to take a long time. Can't we just run around with a dumb person here?"

"How do you say that?" Xin Delong looked up and asked.

"The meaning of humble job is to recruit a few more people so that the master can rest and find a job and a few errands to do." Zheng Nian said.

"Small matter, you go and handle it." Xin Delong waved his hand, "Investigate this case quickly, maybe one day Jin Yiwei will arrive, when the case is uncovered by Jin Yiwei, it will be troublesome to punish you and me for a crime of ineffectiveness."

"Understandable."

Zheng Nian walked out of the room and went straight to the corpse room.

It seems that this place has not been so lively for a long time. The old man is eating, and the little girl in an apron is picking up vegetables, and the four corpses are neatly placed on the table.

"That, that... that's Lord Qian, and the one beside... next to... is his granddaughter! There's a lot of money!" Xu Zhu introduced.

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl quickly touched her hands on the apron and stood up, "Boss."

The head of the fast catcher was in charge of the third class of yamen servants in Chang'an County. Apart from the master and master, Zheng Nian was the biggest official in the county yamen, and the people below were not too loud.

"How much money?" Zheng Nian asked.

"You are so much!" Qian Haoduo smiled, a rosy color appeared on the apple skin, and the slightly plateau red cheeks were cute.

"Boss..." Master Qian followed suit.

"Don't." Zheng Nian walked to the table, "You eat yours, I just came to see the corpse."

Is it traditional for forensic doctors to eat next to dead bodies?Or do you really have to eat with this taste?

"Go help the boss! I don't have any vision at all!" Master Qian said.

The granddaughter, Qian Haoduo, was all smiles, "Boss, which one do you want to see? I'll tell you."

"Let's take a look." Zheng Nian stood beside the two headless corpses.

"These two are headless corpses. I just brought them back today. Grandpa didn't look at them. I saw them. They died of excessive blood loss. He was killed on the spot." Qian Haoduo was as proficient as a delivery anchor introducing products while eating corn bread.

"Eighteen knives?" Zheng Nian immediately removed the shroud, turned the corpse over, and saw many wounds.

"Yes." Qian Haoduo put his hands on the two cuts, "Boss, look at these two places, they were pierced by scissors, and the rest were cut by kitchen knives."

"Chopper?" Zheng Nian found it more and more bizarre the more he looked at it.

Qian Haoduo nodded, "The knife wound on the male corpse is a butcher's knife. The blade is very sharp. It should be the same knife that cut off their heads."

Judging from the number of ways to enter the knife, it is not like the robbery I speculated before, but more like revenge. Where does this hatred come from?
It seems that we can only start with the lives of the two.

"Do you still want to see the other two?" Qian Haoduo asked, pointing to the corpses of the woman and the fake son who fell from the brothel, "The body of the big sister was poisoned to death, and this person was burned after being killed." The body was transported to prison."

"No need." Zheng Nian has no interest in the two corpses for the time being. "Just put it here. I will come to ask you when I have something to do. Many times you are Grandpa Qian's granddaughter? Why are you interested in corpses?"

"Father and mother left early. Grandpa has been raising me. I watched him observe the corpse every day. I also learned some skills. Now I am the one who looks at the corpse." Qian Haoduo returned to his seat, "On weekdays Cook some food for grandpa too, boss, do you want some?"

"No need." Zheng Nian thought for a moment, walked to Master Qian, took out a tael of silver and put it on the table, "This girl will help me in the future? What do you think, sir?"

"Boss... I will do whatever you order, it doesn't have to be..." Even though he said so, Master Qian still put the one tael of silver into his sleeve.

Zheng Nian smiled foolishly and walked out of the room.
