The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

When the four of Xiao Rui came to Songyang County’s government office, they saw that the county government office was deserted and there were no guards, and the county government appeared very desolate. The mottled government door and the cracked ground even hung "Song". Cracks appeared on the plaques of "Yangxian Ya".

Songyang County is not an upper county, but it is also more prosperous than the poor Xia County. The county government is the face of the entire county. This shows that the county magistrate is too incompetent.

Li Yuanfang stepped forward and knocked on the door, banged...he beat the door for a while, but no one responded. It's still in the sky and it's not a vacation. What about the county magistrate? Where's the government officer? Are they all dead?

"Drumming!" Xiao Rui was a little angry.

Li Yuanfang immediately beat the drums to complain about grievances, dong dong... the drum sounded quickly, and finally someone was called.

A government officer opened the door and was about to swear. Li Yuanfang had taken the lead in taking out the official seal of the supervisory official and shouted to him: "My lord is the supervisory official from Kyoto. He was ordered to inspect the prefectures in Hangzhou, and your county magistrate. Where's your lord?"

The government officer swearing to his lips, hurriedly stopped, and then respectfully said: "Return to your lord, magistrate, he...he rested in the back house and spent the night in the back house, so..."

Xiao Rui stepped forward and asked, "Is Xie Mu today?"

"My lord, it's not..." Ya Ya replied with a shiver.

Xiao Rui didn't want to embarrass him, so he said: "Go to pass the pass."

"Yes, yes!" The government officer hurriedly ran into the county office. After a while, a middle-aged magistrate with a pot belly ran out.

Regardless of the shabby county government, the Songyang county magistrate is very rich. He saw at a glance that Xiao Rui’s clothes and manners were good, and he was from a superior, and he hurriedly worshipped: "Xiaguan Songyang County magistrate Wu Biao pays homage to the adults! The adults come here to let Songyang County’s Pengxu flourish. My lord, please enter the office and rest!"

Xiao Rui coldly hummed: "Master Wu, this official was ordered to monitor Hangzhou. When I first arrived in Songyang County, I saw a mess in Guixian. The people were in a hurry. Your government was also poorly managed. Moreover, during official business hours, Master Wu is still resting in the back house. It seems that Master Wu lives very well."

Wu Biao hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead. He never expected that this juncture came to supervise Yushi. If he didn't handle it well this time, his staff assessment this year would be inferior, and he might be demoted.

"My lord, during this period of time, there have been shocking changes in Songyang County. Last night, the official took the hunter to catch the ghost, and he did not return to the county office until early in the morning. So I was sleepy and tired. I couldn't help it, so I took a rest. Yes." Wu Biao explained: "I would like to ask the adults to observe and forgive the official this time."

"Catch ghosts?" Xiao Rui was taken aback, feeling more and more interesting.

Xiao Rui continued to ask: "Catch ghosts? Fool! Master Wu is a scholar, so I don't speak strangely and powerlessly. There is no such thing as ghosts in this world. Even you are like this. No wonder the people are more panicked!"

Wu Biao hurriedly wiped his forehead with cold sweat, and said in panic: "My lord, it is not the subordinates who believe it, but the situation forced the subordinates to believe. Let's not hide it from your lord, there have been three incidents in Songyang County in less than a month. Human homicides, and each of them was not done by a living person."

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia looked at each other and found it more interesting. It seemed that they had encountered a strange case.

"My lord, please go to the government office to rest, and the good deeds of the official are no big or small, and tell the truth." Wu Biao saw the curiosity in Xiao Rui's eyes and quickly invited him in.

Xiao Rui nodded, followed him into the government office, and sat down in a hall. Wu Biao ordered people to have tea, and then said, "My lord, the officer is negligent. I forgot to ask the adult's name?"

"My official Fahai." Xiao Rui continued to use a pseudonym: "Tell me about the three murders. Why didn't they do it by living people?"

Wu Biao hurriedly recounted: "Returning to Master Fa, more than 20 days ago, a person died in the Yao's house at the east end of the county seat. The deceased was the master of the Yao family. He died tragically in his study room. His head was chopped off and disappeared. Fly, and the windows and doors of the study room where the tragic death was killed were all knocked out from the inside, and there was no trace of damage. In addition, there was no tunnel in the study room, no dark room, and no Tibetans were found in the room. It was a rare secret room. There is no clue to the death case."

After speaking, Wu Biao swallowed, and the scene of that day still appeared in his mind.

Master Yao sat at the desk, his body was already stiff, his head on his neck was missing, and blood was sprayed on the entire wall and desk, his death was tragic.

Xiao Rui motioned for him to continue.

Wu Biao added: "After the first murder, on the seventh night, Master Yao's body broke open in the coffin and flew out. Then he ran to the Ming Clerk School in the west of the city and tore off the master Song Fuzi's double. Arms, and then lifted up into the sky with two arms. The headless corpse flew away under the gaze of many people. The officer sent someone to inspect the coffin and found that there were scratches in the coffin. It seems that it was caused by Master Yao's fraudulent corpse scratching. Although the Xiaguan did not see the headless corpse flying up with his own eyes, there were a total of five witnesses, all of whom were students of the Shushu School. They were born innocent and would not lie."

"Flying corpse?" Xiao Rui was a little surprised. If it was said that murder in the secret room was normal, then the Feitian corpse would be a bit nonsense.

"What about the third death?" Xiao Rui asked again.

Wu Biao sighed and said: "On the seventh day after Master Song died, the missing Master Yao's body appeared. This time it was the tragic death of treasurer Sun in the medicine shop in the south of the city. Master Yao's body suddenly entangled treasurer Sun, and the two of them were out of thin air. There was a flame, and under the gaze of shopkeeper Sun, the two were burned alive. With the occurrence of these three murders, everyone in Songyang County was in danger and was enveloped in fear. Many people could escape. Go out for refuge for the time being, and those who haven't escaped will also hide in their homes."

With a sigh, Wu Biao said: "There will be terrible things happening next. In the middle of the night, you can often hear the sound of iron chains mopping the floor from the county town, accompanied by the neigh of evil spirits. Last night, a witness was in the north of the city. When the ghosts were discovered, the officials took the arrest and arrested them quickly. Unfortunately, they waited until the early hours of the morning, but they didn’t get any results. My lord, the officials are ineffective in governing Songyang County, and I feel deeply guilty. There is more than enough power!"

Speaking of the end, Wu Biao couldn't hide the pain in his heart, and even shed tears.

Xiao Rui didn't hold him accountable first. At this time, he became more curious about these three murders, coupled with the task, and said: "Master Wu, do you have a case file? In addition, the officer needs detailed information about the deceased. Since the officer is here, I also want to do something. Although the case described by Master Wu is probably the work of ghosts, it is wicked, but I don’t believe in ghosts, and I think it’s true that someone pretends to be ghosts!"

Wu Biao was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "It is a great honor to have the support of an adult. Please rest assured, adults, I will order the county chief to send in the case file and all the materials, and send the chief to listen to the adult's dispatch. If the adult can pay it back Songyang County is clean, and even the lower officials are willing to lose this top black yarn!"

He longed for Xiao Rui to participate, because if he couldn't find out, he still had the face to test himself? Maybe you can get through this level.

Next, Wu Biao arranged Xiao Rui's four to live in the guest room. At the same time, Songyang County's Kuai Dutou also sent all the files and information for an autopsy.

Xiao Rui did not rush to read the file, but asked Xiang Guo Jia, "Feng Xiao, what do you think of the three murders in Songyang County? Do you believe it was done by ghosts?"

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "The murder of ghosts is purely fictitious. I naturally don't believe it. As His Royal Highness said just now, is it the ghost or someone pretending to be a ghost? The murder in this little Songyang County is not simple, it must be. other reasons."

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's go back to the detectives this time, so we can check the tricks in it, how about?"

"Good!" Guo Jia also showed interest, and the two immediately began to look through the dossier.

The first homicide was the death of Master Yao at the Yaozhai in the east of the city.

According to the contents of the dossier, he died in his study 23 days ago. According to the son of the deceased, Master Yao said that he had important things to deal with the day before, and he locked himself in the study. In, no one is allowed to disturb. Until the afternoon of the next day, Master Yao never came back, and he didn't even eat a bite of rice.

Finally, his son felt strange and knocked on the door to ask, but there was no sound in the room, and then he smelled blood in the room before he broke the door forcibly and saw his father's death.

Later, the county magistrate, government officials, and arresters rushed to the scene and sealed off the scene. He did an autopsy and quickly questioned everyone in the mansion, but no suspicious persons were found.

Although this murder case was strange, it did not arouse too many people's vigilance at the time.

It wasn't until Master Yao from Yizhuang cheated his corpse and killed Master Song from the school that the people of Songyang County were panicked and confused.

Next, the two continued to check the files and reports of the two remaining tragic deaths, but the content was mediocre, and there was no strong evidence. As Wu Biao said, it seemed that the murderers were all pointing at the ghost.

Simply, under the guidance of Dutou, the four came to Yao's house first.

Yao's house was very deserted, only Master Yao's son and a few guards were still there, and the others were sent out of Songyang County. After entering the Yao’s house, Xiao Rui became curious, because the scale of this Yao’s house is not inferior to that of the Jin family, which was a wealthy businessman, and the furnishings and furniture in the house are not simple, such as those in Songyang County. There is such a big family in the county seat?

"What is your father's business?" Xiao Rui asked.

The Young Master Yao actually shook his head and said, "Return to my lord, my father was doing business outside when he was young, and he made some money. Later, he lamented that his business was not good, so he returned here. It has been seven or eight years since he came back. What exactly is his business? , The villain is not clear."

Xiao Rui nodded. After returning for seven or eight years, he can still support such a large family business. It seems that his previous business will definitely not be small, and he made a lot of money. It seems that the deceased Master Yao is very tricky.

Guo Jia went to inspect the scene of the crime. Although the arrest and Wu Zuo had already checked, Guo Jia believed that there must be important clues that they had neglected.

Among them, Guo Jia carefully checked the doors and windows.

The door is pinned with a wooden bolt~www.ltnovel.com~ From the outside, with a knife or a sharp blade, it is impossible to remove the wooden bolt from the propelling slot, and the same is true for the windows. Just like a skilled person can move it, there will be traces on the pegs, but not on the door.

Guo Jia inspected the doors and windows, and the doors and windows remained the same as they were at the time of the crime. After careful inspection, there was nothing unusual.

Because the door was kicked open, the cork has been broken in half, but Guo Jia discovered that the cork broke near the front instead of the middle and rear. What does this mean? It means that the bolts only used the front to pin the door. If the old man puts the bolts on himself, according to human nature, he will push all the bolts in easily.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Jia also found traces of burnt on the bottom of the cork. After closing the door, there was still some black ash-like powder on the ground where the cork was facing downwards. The shallower one seemed to be the person who had entered. Stepped on the sole and took it away, so only a little bit near the gap in the door rail remained.

If it were before the change, Guo Jia couldn't see the clue, but since he followed Xiao Rui, he had seen a lot of things and had a broader knowledge.

Burnt marks, black ash-like powder...

It seems that the murderer is not simple!
