Chapter 30 Yuhang County Rabbit Essence
The county is not big, when the two returned to the hall, they didn't meet a single person.

Bai Yujing looked at this dilapidated county house and asked, "Is there anyone else here except you? Where's your yamen servant?"

Chu Xiuran sighed and said, "Stop talking, the last county lieutenant is now the county magistrate, he has already taken away all his subordinates, and there is no one left here."

Bai Yujing asked: "What about the other people? There should be some cleaning staff? Or something else?"

Chu Xiuran smiled, "I'm also surprised. When I came here for a month, there was no one here, so I went to find Magistrate Feng, but Magistrate Feng told me that I had to find these people myself. I asked him again, my monthly salary is only six hundred cash, which is not enough for one or two taels of silver. I can buy a bucket of rice with ten cash, and I can hardly survive by myself. How can I hire people? Hire government servants? Guess what he said?"

Bai Yujing hummed, "How do you say?"

"He didn't say anything, and just let me go home and think about it myself." Chu Xiuran patted his knees and smiled, "How could I not know what he meant? How can an official who is not greedy these days have money?"

Bai Yujing said: "Then you are greedy."

Chu Xiuran chuckled, "I think so too, but why am I greedy?"

Bai Yujing was taken aback: "Are you asking me? I don't have any experience in being an official."

Chu Xiuran spread his hands: "I have no experience, and no one gives me money, let alone a girl, and I don't know how to be greedy."

Bai Yujing hissed, "The county lieutenant has a lot of power, you can check the tile houses in Yuhang County, and check those shops."

Chu Xiuran said: "The owner of the shop can invite me to eat for free. Is there any extra penny? I can't stand on the street and ask him for it? Check Vashe? How to check? I will check it alone? Don't think about it, power It's all in the hands of the county magistrate and the county magistrate above, as for me, I just want to be able to pass three years steadily and enter the capital, but now it seems that it is not possible."

Bai Yujing said: "How is it impossible?"

Chu Xiuran whispered: "Do you know that our magistrate Feng Kaiyuan Feng has been working in Yuhang County for 18 years, and countless county magistrates and magistrates under him have left, but he doesn't even move?" move."

Bai Yujing was stunned, no one knew who Feng Kaiyuan had offended, let alone what kind of court interest group was behind him.

He thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about the case."

In fact, there is nothing to talk about, Chu Xiuran knows about the same as Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing asked, "Where was the body found?"

Chu Xiuran said: "These three corpses were discovered by a fisherman, and yesterday's two female corpses, one was discovered at home, and the other was on the way of the carriage on the day of the wedding. If it is an investigation... do you think we Where should I go first?"

Bai Yujing fell into deep thought.

Chu Xiuran leaned on the chair, with his hands folded in his cuffs, with a smile that was not a smile, and thought: "This kid has two brushes, and he can see the strangeness of the corpse, but it's because of his courage. , I am timid but careful.”

"For example, if a fool investigates these three places, he must investigate the road where the carriage drove on the day of the wedding. This place is where the incident happened and has the most clues. In fact, it is not. When I went, there was nothing there. I took a trip, and I saw his appearance, that is, he has some research on the soles of human feet, and he is not a great talent like me. When he said to go here later, I directly said that I have been there, and there is nothing. It’s also good to establish in this kid’s heart the prestige that I just fell to the ground.”

After thinking for a while, Bai Yujing said, "Let's go and find the fisherman."

"Haha, I already... um? A fisherman?" Chu Xiuran was stunned, "Why a fisherman?"

Bai Yujing said: "Why not a fisherman? Didn't you say that the fisherman discovered it?"

Chu Xiuran said: "It was the fisherman who discovered it, but...why did you go to the fisherman first? Didn't you go to the nearest crime scene first?"

Bai Yujing said: "Have you ever killed anyone?"

Chu Xiuran shook his head.

Bai Yujing said: "If you don't want others to know that you killed someone, then you must make the crime scene perfect. If your murder is seen by others, it is an accident, so we can first go to the accident to find clues. Wouldn't it be faster to look for traces in Perfection later?"

Chu Xiuran stared at him for a while, and was suddenly a little surprised: "He... seems to be right, how should I refute him to show my wisdom? I... I..."

"Ah!" Chu Xiuran said, "I have thought of this a long time ago, and I just tested you."

Bai Yujing chuckled, "You can definitely think of it, anyone can think of it."

Chu Xiuran walked out with Bai Yujing with a smile on his face, but he was very angry in his heart, and almost twisted his right hand with his left hand in his cuff.

……

There are four rivers in Yuhang County, namely Dongtiao River, Xitang River, and Yuhangtang River in the northwest, four Hangzhou Ponds in the southeast, and only one Hangzhou Pond in the southeast. .

The rich in Yuhang County are only rich in the upper class. Most of the people in the lower class can only make a living by fishing. Only a few young, strong and good-looking girls and boys can find jobs in commercial firms.

It was fishermen from Yuhang County who discovered the bodies of the three children.

"This fisherman's name is Zhang Falu. He is over 50 years old. There is no one else in his family, but he is the only one." Chu Xiuran said as he walked, "His family members were all drowned in floods a few years ago."

Bai Yujing sighed.

The world is impermanent, and the way of heaven is unfair.

The world is impermanent and the people pay for it, and the injustice of nature is hard work.

There are not many houses on the river now, but most of those who have some money have moved to live in the city, and the rest are some poor families.

Chu Xiuran was familiar with the way, and led Bai Yujing through the alley, "I also came to ask him at that time, but he hesitated and couldn't say a complete sentence, but he just said something about the poor child."

Bai Yujing said: "There is nothing else?"

Chu Xiuran thought about it, "Well... what did you say? Let me think about it... He said, oh yes, he said that it was raining at the time, and that one child was wearing clothes while the other two were not. But the clothes were under the rocks and he took them off to save the kid."

Bai Yujing said: "Is there any more?"

Chu Xiuran said, "It's gone."

Speaking of this, Chu Xiuran pointed to a dilapidated door and said, "You can just ask him?"

Walking over, the county lieutenant had just patted on the door, and the door had already opened before he called for the exit.

A pungent smell of blood came out immediately, and Bai Yujing immediately took a step forward and grabbed Chu Xiuran's shoulder, and threw him back suddenly, and he was out of the scabbard!

fight!
The sword sounded.

Can Hong immediately filed out from the room and went straight outside, Bai Yujing immediately turned around and chased out, only to find that the red aura went directly into the water along the coast and disappeared.

Chu Xiuran sat on the ground, sweating profusely, out of breath, and said, "What... what's going on?"

Bai Yujing ignored him, stepped into the room, and saw a corpse that had been dead for a long time.

At this moment, his arms were about to move, he reached out his hand to touch, it was a cloth bag containing asparagus, he took out the cloth bag, untied the upper fastening, the asparagus popped out of his head and said: "Hero, what happened?" Is it? Why is there such a strong burst of evil spirit?"

Bai Yujing frowned and said, "Monster Qi?"

Dragon Beard Grass opened two big eyes and said: "Yes! Monster Qi! And it's very strong. I haven't seen such monster gas in Hanging Mountain for many years."

Bai Yujing took a deep breath, walked to the side of the corpse, took a closer look, and said in a deep voice, "I'm still working on the case, I'll tell you when I get back later."

Long Xucao nodded obediently, got into the bag, Bai Yujing tied the bag, and then started to play with the corpse.

Chu Xiuran, who was trembling outside the door, walked in slowly, "What was that just now?"

Bai Yujing was worried about talking about monsters, and the county captain might turn around and go home directly, crying with his head in his arms, and simply said: "It's nothing."

Chu Xiuran persisted and pointed to the outside, "Nothing? Didn't you see that big lump of red rushing out?"

Bai Yujing said: "It's a person, a person with very sharp actions."

Chu Xiuran looked at Bai Yujing: "Ah? Then... Will he hear what we said?"

Bai Yujing suddenly remembered about the stone, stood up immediately and said, "You come for the autopsy, I'll find someone!"

After saying that, he jumped out of the room, rushed to the vicinity of the river, took out the bag in his arms and asked, "Can you find that evil spirit?"

Dragon Beard Grass said: "The south is still in the south, it has stopped."

Bai Yujing immediately strode over to the small waterfall. Asparagus shouted: "It's here, it's under the water! That! That stone!"

Sure enough.

Bai Yujing immediately opened the Nine Luminaries Palace of the Inner Palace, jumped up high, went straight to the opposite bank, and slashed down with the edge of Jinghong's sword.

when!
Bai Yujing's complexion changed drastically.

This is the first time Jinghong Sword has been blocked.

He backed away immediately and took a closer look, the red air ball came out of the water, it was actually a rabbit!
The rabbit bared its teeth at Bai Yujing in anger, turned around and hid in the water and slipped away.

Bai Yujing wanted to chase again, but he heard Long Xucao say: "Hero, don't chase, this rabbit is not a friendly person, there are monsters around!"

Naturally, Bai Yujing didn't move any more, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of monster is that? Why can it block my sword?"

Long Xucao said: "I have never seen it, there is no such monster on Hanging Mountain."

Bai Yujing sighed, and when his eyes flashed back again, he saw something floating on the stone. He took a closer look and found that it was a rabbit's foot, and a piece of clothes was tightly buckled on the two feet.
