Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 5
"Yes, yes, yes," Jincai said in a panic, "it's like this: Yesterday, the head of our family was going to give birth. The shopkeeper asked the younger one to find Mrs. Wen early in the morning. Unexpectedly, the wind and snow have been heavy these two days, and Mrs. Wen nearby He refused to go out for life and death. There was no other way, so the younger one went to the medical clinic to inquire again. But even after running for more than ten homes, he still couldn’t get a doctor because of the heavy snow. Even if his lips were worn out, no one was willing to follow. The drug researcher couldn't see it, so he secretly told the younger one that there is a stable woman in Zhangjiapuzi who has good craftsmanship. As long as the salary is paid enough, Sanhe can go too. When the younger one heard this, he hurried to Zhangjiapuzi. When I found the old woman, I promised three taels of silver, and the old woman readily agreed. The younger one didn't dare to delay, so I picked up the old woman and hurried back. The wind and snow on the road were too heavy, so I couldn't keep my eyes open. When we arrived at the inn , it was already dark. The old shopkeeper greeted the woman, and invited her into the inner room. The little one was tired and went to sleep. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, this tragedy happened... No In addition, I beg the officials to take more trouble, so that we can avenge our boss! The little one is here, kowtow to the officials!"

As he said that, Jincai fell to his knees in tears and kowtowed to the messenger.

That Wu Zuo nodded, and said: "It's rare for you to be so loyal, let's lead the way!"

Jincai wiped his tears and got up, leading the officials to the inner hall.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he smelled a smell of blood, Wu Zuo frowned, and stepped in.This guy was doing an autopsy and was used to seeing common murders.But when he saw the scene inside the house at first glance, he was so horrified that his hair stood on end.The hands that had touched countless stinking corpses trembled involuntarily, and the bean-sized cold sweat kept spilling out of his forehead.He hurriedly opened the hanging box, took out a bottle of pills, and took it hastily.This bottle of pills is called "Dingshen Pill", and it is prepared by a master's secret recipe.This Dingshen Pill clears the mind and refreshes the mind, and is specially designed to suppress the filth and poison of corpses, so you should always keep it by your side and never leave it.

After taking the calming pill, Wu Zuo was not as flustered as before.He bent down and began to pick up the bones for autopsy.

Flesh and blood flew all over the ground, and brains splattered everywhere.The woman's corpse was missing one eyeball, and the other was half-shrunken, with veins hanging on her face.The skull was cut open, the fracture was very neat, and it was not known what kind of sharp weapon was injured.Several deep blood holes were poked in the left collarbone fossa.There are also purple and black bruises on the shoulder of the right arm.The half-dried blood coagulated on the exposed bone stubble, which was particularly glaring.

Wu Zuo came to the kang again and lifted the blanket covering the woman.The woman's hands and feet were stiff, and she was already out of breath.Looking at his death, it is very terrifying.The lower body of the corpse was torn, the abdomen collapsed, and a section of the umbilical cord was dragged out of the body.The wound between the buttocks seemed to have been plowed, and the flesh on both sides was turned outward...

The cause of death of these two people is very different, Wu Zuo dare not open the corpse rashly.I had no choice but to put away the testing equipment and make another plan.

The officials deliberated and decided to temporarily store the corpse and transport it back to the government office for further decision.The shopkeeper Nian Wang couldn't afford to be frightened, so he allowed him to wait for a day, and he will come to the court for questioning tomorrow morning.

When the body was carried out, the surrounding women screamed in fright.Not long after, the haunting story of Yuelai Inn spread like wildfire, spreading all over the streets and alleys in a blink of an eye.For a while, the city was full of wind and rain, and panic...

How frightened others are, let's not express it for the time being.It is only said that after a whole day and night, although the shopkeeper Wang's eyes were swollen, his mind has recovered a lot.

In the early morning of the next day, Shuntian Mansion came to pick him up.Jincai rushed to meet him, brought the harnessed mule cart from the door, and helped old shopkeeper Wang onto it.After Mr. Wang sat down firmly, Jincai flicked his whip, and together with the messengers, he came to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.

After getting out of the car, Jincai helped Mr. Wang, the shopkeeper, and was led into the main hall by an official.

In the main hall, there are two rows of yamen servants, holding hall sticks, majestic and majestic.The person sitting in danger in the middle is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.I saw him with a loyal face, a long beard on his chin, an upright spirit, and a prestige without anger.On the lacquered screen behind him are paintings of seawater river cliffs and the rising sun.On the top of the head is a plaque, with four gilt characters of "Suqing Jidian" hanging high.The Fu Yin said "Ascension to the hall", and the servants on both sides shouted "Mighty".

Old shopkeeper Wang's eyes were hot, and he fell to his knees involuntarily. "I beg Master Qingtian to be the master... Cao Min's daughter-in-law... died unjustly..."

"The old man is crying," Fu Yin slapped the gavel, "I will tell you the whole story, and come with me!"

Jincai knelt at the side, and whispered to persuade: "Shopkeeper, don't cry now, explain the matter clearly, so that my lord can make the decision for us..."

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and wiped away tears from the corners of his eyes: "My lord, this matter is hard to explain... Last night, my daughter-in-law gave birth and traveled all over the forty-nine cities before I invited someone to pick her up. I didn't think about my daughter-in-law. She actually gave birth to a monster, killed her biological mother, and ate Wen Po...Maybe I didn't say anything to the grassroots..."

Fu Yin frowned, and shouted: "In the courtroom, how can you talk nonsense?! This is so bright, how can you be a monster? Could it be that you are old and dim-witted, and mistaken the murderer for a ghost?"

"No, no, no!" Seeing that Fu Yin was annoyed, Old Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly said, "My lord, it's really not nonsense, there are indeed monsters! That terrible scene... Caomin will never forget it in his life... Sigh... ...Thinking about it now, Cao Min's daughter-in-law really seems to be pregnant with ghosts..."

Fu Yin secretly thought: This old man looks dull and honest, he doesn't seem to be talking nonsense to deceive others.But he kept saying that there was a ghost, could there be something else hidden in it?

Thinking of this, Fu Yin cleared his throat, and said: "This government has kept its palm prints for several years. It has been self-denying and devoted to the public, and there is no way to solve the case. Now that the lawsuit can be judged, the ghosts and gods can be solved! If there are really ghosts and ghosts, the government will do its best. I will also help you Make the decision! You don’t have to panic, explain the clues in detail, then there will be justice!”

"Thank you in advance, my lord!" Old shopkeeper Wang kowtowed, showing embarrassment, "Caomin has a merciless request... I hope my lord will forgive me..."

"speak!"

"Because this matter is related to the family tradition and reputation, the grassroots are bold, please stand back from the left and right, so that you can speak..."

Fu Yin hesitated for a while, and then said: "Forget it, it's up to you. After listening, we will make a theory!"

After finishing speaking, Fu Yin waved his hand and asked all the yamen servants to retire, leaving only the clerks with knives and pens to record the cases.

Seeing that the old shopkeeper Wang was not young, Fu Yin ordered Zhang Yuzi to be fetched and asked him to sit and answer.

Mr. Wang, the old shopkeeper, kowtowed to thank him, and with the help of Jincai, he sat down on the twig.Before he could speak, a person suddenly broke into the room.With sharp eyes, Jincai immediately recognized that it was the master from yesterday.

That Wu Zuo went straight to Fu Yin and whispered in a low voice.Fu Yin pondered for a while, then nodded his head.Seeing this, Wu Zuo bowed to the governor, and then hastily retreated.

After Wu Zuo left, Fu Yin said to the hall: "Old man of the Wang family, please sit here. There will be another trial later, and you can tell the whole story!"

Before the shopkeeper Wang could speak, Fu Yin and the scribe had disappeared in the back hall, only Jin Cai and him were left staring at each other in the huge courtroom.
