Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 448 In the Rain (1)
The northwest is located in the north of Dai Viet, and the climate is very different from that of Kyoto. In early March, it was still warm and cold, and within a few days, spring blossomed. By the beginning of April in the lunar calendar, Mo Yan had already put on a summer shirt.

Mo Yan is not used to this kind of climate. She is on duty in the Yamen on weekdays, and the underground morgue is full of ice, which is bitingly cold. When she goes out and sees the sun, it becomes scorching and dazzling. The alternation of hot and cold makes her dizzy. .

Mo Yan is already used to the identity of Zhu Erni, a newly married maidservant.This profession is sadder than imagined. There are no bright and bright satin dresses. I wear gray cotton clothes and pants every day to go to the office, and I can't come back until it is dark.

The forensic medical handbook has been basically completed, combined with some modern cases, and the skills learned from Mr. Wang for so long, it is enough to cultivate an excellent work.

In modern times, the distribution of responsibilities in the public security system is very detailed. In addition to the autopsy, Dayue, the assistant also has to cooperate with the police to investigate the scene and look for clues.

A city does not often have homicides, but each city has its subordinate county. If the county magistrate has an unsolved unsolved case, he will ask the prefect for help. The clerks are not as leisurely as imagined, and occasionally they have to travel a long way. .

The case of Wang Laoqi being robbed of prison still did not make any progress, and the Shang Zhifu kept secret about it, because the impact of the robbing of the prison was returning to the original track.

After that, the people of Mingzhou City strengthened the fences and courtyard walls of their homes one after another, presumably because of the indelible shadow left in their hearts by the fleeing bandits.

The few corpses in the morgue were finally claimed. Under the supervision of the yamen, the old lady's children reluctantly buried them. They bought the cheapest thin coffins and shrouds made of coarse cloth with rough stitches.

This is Mo Yan's request. Only after the old lady is buried, her children can receive the pension from the yamen.

The eight children quarreled and fought because of the sharing of coffin boards and shrouds, and then they didn't know what happened, maybe because of the 20 taels of silver they were about to get, they became like a family again.

Mo Yan thought that it would be a good idea to hand over the old lady's body to the village or yamen for burial, but she ignored the importance of relatives at this time. The old lady has sons and daughters, and the children cannot accept this arrangement.

The case of the stepmother killing the stepdaughter was abominable. After the interrogation by Shang Zhifu, the woman was sentenced to be executed in autumn and locked in a cell on the basement floor.

The case came to an end, and Mo Yan got the five-day rest period approved by Shang Zhifu. When she walked out of the yamen, she suddenly felt that the sky outside was very blue.

Turning to a well-known time-honored wine shop, Mo Yan bought a small jar of loose wine that Mr. Wang likes to drink, and bought a roast chicken, and visited Mr. Wang's house.

The relationship between the two is both a teacher and a friend. Mo Yan doesn't have a detailed understanding of ancient autopsy techniques. She has her own set of theories. Although accurate, some methods cannot be accepted by this era.

Combined with the skills bestowed by Mr. Wang, the compilation of forensic medical handbooks is more clear.

She knows that people in this era attach great importance to craftsmanship, especially the ancestral craftsmanship that makes a living by it. Mr. Wang's son did not succeed, and he has always regretted that there is no successor. Mo Yan's appearance made him feel relieved, so he worked very hard. Combined with past case professors, she has benefited a lot.

Mr. Wang was very happy with Mo Yan's arrival. He poured a large bowl of loose wine, squinted his eyes and tasted it. He immediately tasted his favorite brew from a time-honored brand. case.

That was about 30 years ago, before Mr. Wang entered the industry.

There is no one who is too young to do this business. It is an unwritten rule that men can only enter the business after the crown ceremony.

On the one hand, the job is a highly technical job. On the other hand, people are also superstitious. They think that if they work with the dead all day long, they will inevitably encounter lonely ghosts. soul.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think is the scariest case?"

Mo Yan rested her chin and listened carefully.She felt that she was a knowledgeable person, and she had come into contact with all kinds of complicated cases in modern times, and of course there were some creepy ones.

"The horror I'm talking about is actually cruelty."

Mr. Wang poured a whole bowl of wine into his stomach, and the alcohol quickly came up. His face turned red, he put down the drumsticks, wiped the oil on his mouth, his eyes showed memories, and his eyes were filled with pain. , his body trembled slightly, as if this was a past he didn't want to mention.

When Mr. Wang was young, his parents arranged a marriage for him.

It's rare that the other party's family doesn't despise the profession of wu Zuo. He and that girl grew up together, and they agreed with each other that they would get married when he officially took over the job when he reached the crown year.

The childhood sweethearts grew up together, and the relationship is unusual. That girl has a very beautiful name, Liu Xu.

Master Wang's tone was slow, with a smile in his eyes, as if he was recalling the beauty of the year, but after a while, his expression changed and he took a sharp turn for the worse.

I heard that Mr. Wang's wife passed away last year, and the family used to open a paper horse shop to make money from the dead, so they didn't dislike Mr. Wang, it seems that it's not this catkin.

"and then?"

After waiting for a while, Mo Yan didn't see anything, so she asked, and she had a hunch that this case had something to do with Liu Xu.

More than ten years ago, the prefect's yamen in Mingzhou was flooded, and all the files of that year were destroyed. Mo Yan must not be able to find any trace of its existence in the case of more than 30 years.

"Then……"

Mr. Wang took out his handkerchief and wiped away his tears. Although he didn't cause it, his heart still hurts.

The two families are family friends, Liu Xu's father, like his father, is on duty in the yamen, and they always drink together, and their relationship is very close.

Since he was a child, Mr. Wang had been instilled in him by his parents to treat Liu Xu well, because she will be his daughter-in-law in the future, and he will be with him for a lifetime.

Liu Xu is like a woman in the market, virtuous and capable, with big watery eyes and two small dimples when she smiles.

There is a three-year age difference between the two, and they talk about everything on weekdays, and they may not be at the age when they first fell in love. The old man Wang was particularly slow to react to these things.

Later, Liu Xu fell in love with poetry and prose, and fell in love with a scholar in the yamen who was in charge of transcribing classics.

The two often meet in the room where the files are managed by the yamen. In the end, one month when Liu Xu was 15 years old, she panicked when she didn't have her period, and she was sure that she was pregnant.

After the scholar learned about it, he faltered and dodged. He is the youngest Juren in Mingzhou City. He wanted to take advantage of the imperial examination. If he won the Jinshi and was awarded an official position, how could he marry a woman from a small family with no background? ?

When Liu Xu learned about it, she was heartbroken and didn't want to deceive Mr. Wang, so she finally told her parents the truth and quickly married a butcher in the town.
