Great Lawyer

Chapter 352 Strange Knot ([-])
"Where's Taoist Mao?" Du Jiuyan didn't see him when he left the inn. Du Jiuyan was surprised, "Isn't he here to catch ghosts? Let him lead the way and find someone."

King Gui replied: "Catch up on sleep in the inn, saying that last night was too hard and I didn't sleep well."

Du Jiuyan was speechless.

Chen Lang and Tian Mao came out of the shed together, and Chen Lang said: "I'll take Little Radish and the others back to Xiahe Town, it might rain again, it's not safe to stay here."

"Let Gu Qingshan and Qiao Mo accompany you back home." King Gui greeted, and Gu Qingshan and Qiao Mo should go to prepare the carriage.

Chen Lang returned to town with his three children.

Du Jiuyan and King Gui went down along the polder ridge.If the water level receded, the polder ridge should be very high, and the two of them went to the downstream work shed in a leisurely manner.

It's very close, even at night, there is at most a cup of tea.

"It's so wide, it's not easy to fall." Du Jiuyan stopped in front of the work shed, and waved to a woman who was cooking with a fire.

The woman was a little scared, wiped her hands while walking, and saluted, "My lords."

"Are you here to cook and wash their clothes? What do you call them?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"My surname is Yao, and my man's surname is Li. His name is Li Shuang. He is in the water. You called him up for questioning just now. His leg hurts these days and he walks very lamely." Yao said.

Du Jiuyan knew which one it was.

"Twenty of them came out to do things, and no one was around to take care of them, so I followed them out, washing their clothes and cooking for them every day. Li Tou also gave me wages, eighty Wen a day, and I could earn money by working for a few months. A lot of money."

Yao said and laughed, "My grandson has studied this year, but he is smart. He said that he must study hard, and he will also take the exam to become a high-ranking official and be filial to us."

"You're really promising, you'll definitely pass the exam." Du Jiuyan asked with a smile, "Is your Foreman Li a good drinker? Do you often get drunk?"

Yao thought for a while, "I don't know about this, my lord, wait a minute, I'll ask." She quickly got off the ridge and yelled at the water, the water was too loud and Du Jiuyan didn't listen clear.

After a while, Mrs. Yao climbed up again, "They said that the boss can drink a pot of dry food for nothing at a time, and he can still work as usual after drinking, and nothing will hinder him."

"Not drunk?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"He must be a little drunk. Who can drink a jar of wine without getting dizzy, but he is not that drunk." Yao Shi said: "If he falls asleep drunk, he will probably have another two big bowls."

Du Jiuyan and King Gui looked at each other, and King Gui said, "Go do your work."

"Yes!" Mrs. Yao ran back, grabbed two roasted sweet potatoes after a while, and blew while walking, "Masters, the sweet potatoes I just roasted are delicious, here you go."

Saying that, hand over the sweet potato.

The sweet potatoes were roasted on the stove, and there was still mud on them, but they could indeed smell a burst of aroma.

King Gui looked at Du Jiuyan, and Du Jiuyan looked at him.

"Thank you." Du Jiuyan took it over, "It's delicious, let's eat it right away."

Yao shi was very happy, "There are still some on the stove, I'll bring them to you if the food is good."

Du Jiuyan thanked him and handed one to King Gui.

The two of them walked forward with a sweet potato in their hands. King Gui looked down at the hot sweet potato and said with distaste, "How do I remember that this thing is raised for pigs?"

"My lord, don't you claim to have lived a hard life, have you never eaten sweet potatoes?" Du Jiuyan said.

King Gui said: "No matter how hard it is, I am still a prince, how can I still go to grab food from pigs in such a poor way?"

Du Jiuyan pouted and pulled him, "Come here." She squatted on the edge of the polder by herself, "Come, my lord, please squat down!"

King Gui squatted down.

The two of them squatted facing the water. Du Jiuyan tore off the skin of the sweet potato, revealing the yellowish flesh. The aroma was tangy and appetizing. She took a bite, "It's very sweet."

King Gui changed into a comfortable position, peeled off the gag and smashed it in his mouth, "It's not bad. It seems that the treatment of pigs is also good."

"My lord, Jiuyan," Jiao San came back from the downstream, and saw two people squatting with their legs crossed, holding a pile of yellow things in their hands. It's sweet potatoes."

"Say it again." King Gui stared at Jiao San, "What were you thinking when you thought it wasn't a sweet potato?"

Jiao San cupped his hands, "My lord, I still have work to do, so let's get busy."

Saying that, slipped away with oil on the soles of his feet.

King Gui threw the sweet potato skins on the ground and said with a sneer, "Han Dang, give Yao Shi money and buy all the sweet potatoes in her hand. There will be nothing else for tonight's meal except sweet potatoes."

"Master," Han Dang whispered, "I, I didn't say anything. Or, just buy it for Jiao San?"

King Gui cast a glance at him.

Han Dang buys sweet potatoes disheartened.

"My lord," Du Jiuyan washed his hands in the river, looked at the turbulent water, and said in a low voice, "there are not many trees and weeds on the surface of the river, and the chance of being entangled in the bottom of the water is not high. At the bottom of the river, it will pay the surface of the water in about a few days."

"Two or three days." King Gui said.

Then there are three days now, logically speaking, it should be about to surface.

"Frog," Du Jiuyan greeted the frogs in the distance, "ride along the river and tell the chiefs of the villages to let the villagers pay attention to the water surface."

Frog should be, go on horseback.

After searching for an afternoon, until the next afternoon, there was no news, including the villagers and fishermen along the river, and no one found a corpse floating on the water.

And nearby counties, there is no news.

"I can't find it, maybe I won't find it." Everyone sat in the shed, Jiao San frowned and said: "On the fourth day, if it falls into the water, it will definitely surface."

King Gui looked back at the river and said, "Fire!"

"Fill?" Tian Mao's first reaction, "Does your lord mean to go into the water to fish for the corpse?"

King Gui nodded.

"The river is so wide, I don't know where it's going, it's not easy to fish!" Tian Mao said.

King Gui glanced at him.

"Then...then let those craftsmen fish, only they have the best water quality." Tian Mao didn't dare to object, and immediately changed his answer.

King Gui nodded.

In the afternoon, nineteen craftsmen and two young catchers with good water skills went into the water quickly. Each of them had a hemp rope tied around their waist, and each of them was separated by a distance of one foot. They entered and exited the water.

King Gui sat on the polder ridge.

The wind picked up, it began to rain lightly, and the sky gradually darkened.

Suddenly, someone in the water in the distance exclaimed, shouting: "Come here quickly, there is something here."

The person who shouted was three or four feet away from the work shed.

Everyone ran over there, torches were lit on the shore, and a dozen people sank to the bottom to find something.

Du Jiuyan stood on the shore, looking at everyone's expressions.

"It's a man!" The man in the water shouted, "It's a man!"

After a while, the body in the water was dragged up.

The corpse was wearing a black brown suit, no shoes on the feet, and a bag on its back. It was swollen and swollen, and its face was so pale that it was beyond recognition. It looked very terrifying.

King Gui went to look for Du Jiuyan, thinking that she would be afraid, but she had already stepped forward, wearing the gloves given to her by the corpse doctor, and was studying the knot tied on the chest of the deceased.

"This knot is very tight. It's the first time I've seen it." Du Jiuyan and Shi Changyang said, "Can you draw it?"

Shi Changyang said: "Not sure."

"Give it to me." Du Jiuyan took off his gloves, held Shi Changyang's planner on the wooden board, outlined the knot in a dozen strokes, and returned the drawing board to Shi Changyang. She untied her belt and tried it on herself. try.

Can't tie it up.

"What's wrong?" King Gui asked.

"I'll talk to you later," Du Jiuyan tied back his belt, and started to cut off the burden on Li Er's body.

Keep the knot and cut it off the side.

"It's Li Tou!" Someone among the craftsmen shouted, "He wore this dress on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."

"He's right. Although the face is swollen beyond recognition, you can still see it. He's right."

"Head Li," someone cried.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Silver!" Du Jiuyan unwrapped the huge bundle, which contained silver ingots.

After counting, one or two is not missing.

"He brought this bag to collect the money that day." Tian Mao and the others said, "It must be Li Er."

"Sure enough, he slipped and drowned in the water." Tian Mao said.

Neither King Gui nor Du Jiuyan answered.King Gui asked the corpse, "Did you drown?"

"There is sand and sand in the nose, it looks like it should be." After finishing speaking, the Corpse University looked at Du Jiuyan, asking if the corpse could be dissected.

Du Jiuyan said: "Wait another day, you should think of other ways first."

The purpose of the autopsy is to find out the cause of death. If the cause of death can be determined, it can be avoided naturally.

"Okay," the corpse said in a low voice, "judging from the situation in the nose, it should be drowning."

When a person is drowning, he can breathe, and some things such as water plants and sediment will be left in the nose. If the trachea can be cut, it will be seen more clearly.

But if the person went into the water after death, the situation is completely different.

"Carry it to the shed first, and watch it after dawn." King Gui said, "Everyone, go back and rest."

Everyone worked together to carry Li Er's body back.

King Gui went to Yinshou's workshop with Du Jiuyan, the lame son, Jiao San and Shi Da.

Gu Qingshan and Qiao Mo stayed outside.

"Jiuyan, you have been looking at the knot just now, is there something wrong?" Jiao San asked.

"Look." Du Jiuyan took out the bundle that Li Er had cut, laid it on the ground, and took off his gloves to show everyone, "The knot is tied in a very special way. It looks like a loose button, but as long as it is untied If not, it becomes a dead button."

"I asked, Li Er is not left-handed, so if he made the burden himself, the direction should be the opposite."

The direction of tying the rope by yourself is different from that of others.

"You mean, the burden on his body was put on by someone else?" Jiao San asked.

"Yes! Someone tied it for him." Du Jiuyan said: "There is another key point. If you weigh 200 taels of silver, it is estimated to weigh more than ten catties. It is enough for him to sink to the bottom of the water and float on his back." time."

Everyone was surprised, and the lame man said, "He killed him?"

　Chicken head rice is also a traditional Chinese medicine, the name is Gorgon.It has the effect of invigorating the spleen.It grows in the water, and like the lotus root, it is pulled out of the mud along the pole. It is covered with thorns. It feels like a chestnut when peeled, but it looks like a pomegranate when opened.Haha, it is a very strange plant.
