When the three squads of government officials gathered, County Magistrate Chen and County Lieutenant Xu also rode their carriages and horses, surrounded by a group of officers, and headed toward Caidian Town in a mighty manner.
By the time Lu Li was "inspiring" Zhu Mingjiang and the surrounding passengers, a team of dozens of people from the county government happened to arrive at the hotel.
So as soon as he entered the door, County Magistrate Chen heard what Lu Li said.
"Hahaha, what you said is true. Doing whatever you want without breaking the rules is the best principle in the world."
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside the door. Lu Li was a little confused. Then he saw County Magistrate Chen and others in official uniforms walking in from the front hall of the hotel and into the backyard.
He looked at County Magistrate Chen, whose beard and hair were half white, and saw the officers crowding around him. He could guess in his heart that this must be a big official, but he didn't know which official from the county government he was.
When Lu Li looked at County Magistrate Chen, Magistrate Chen was also sizing up the "immortal" in front of him.
What he saw was a young man about 20 years old, wearing a green shirt and wide robe. He looked majestic but handsome, and his eyes were like stars. Although he was sitting at the stone table, he had an air of dignity. People's hearts are broken, don't dare to despise them.
"He is truly an immortal in the world." County Magistrate Chen sighed in his heart.
Although he was not sure that Lu Li was an immortal at this time, after seeing the other person's appearance, he felt that he was not an ordinary person and did not dare to look directly at him again, lest he would cause dissatisfaction with the other person.
County Magistrate Chen straightened his clothes, then raised his hands with a solemn expression and said, "I, Chen Changdu, am the Magistrate of Xinyang County. What do you call me sir?"
Lu Li took advantage of the situation and stood up. He also cupped his hands and replied, "I'm here, Lu Li. I'm all alone."
Seeing that Lu Li was free and easy but polite, County Magistrate Chen couldn't help but smile and nodded secretly in his heart. It seemed that this "immortal" was easy to deal with.
Before coming to the hotel, County Magistrate Chen had been worried that it would be difficult to get in touch with the immortals he had never met, because according to folklore, most of those extraordinary people had various weird tempers, were withdrawn, and were not easy to get along with.
Now that I saw it, I breathed a sigh of relief.
For a time, County Magistrate Chen couldn't help but have a great impression of Lu Li in front of him.
"It turns out to be Mr. Lu." County Magistrate Chen nodded and smiled at first, then straightened his face and asked solemnly: "This morning, the waiter from this inn came to report a murder, saying that a murder occurred in the store, and many people died. What's more, there was a disaster. The bandits broke into the house, but I fought them off. I wonder if this is true?"
Lu Li did not deny it, and nodded directly: "Of course it is true."
County Magistrate Chen¡¯s face hardened, he took a deep breath, and then said: ¡°Then where is the body? I want to see it.¡±
As he spoke, he looked around. The courtyard was empty and he didn't see any corpses.
Lu Li shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. I have to ask the store first."
County Magistrate Chen frowned, then turned towards the courtyard and shouted: "Where is the owner of this shop?"
Coincidentally, at this time, the old shopkeeper who went to order a coffin also came back. When he saw so many servants surrounding his hotel backyard, especially when he saw County Magistrate Chen at the front, his heart skipped a beat. He knew the county. order.
Although I knew that such a big thing had happened, the county government would definitely send someone, but I didn¡¯t expect so many people to come, including the county magistrate.
Now when I heard the summons from the county magistrate, I quickly wiped the sweat from my forehead, rushed up, and replied: "Come on, come on, the little man Cai Gui, I have met the county master."
Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, he saw that the other man's face was a little pale. He knew that the other man was worried about what happened in the store. Feeling his age, he softened his face and asked in a gentle voice: "Cai Gui, I want to ask you, what is the travel time for you?" Where is the body in the store now?¡±
Lu Li, who was standing next to him, realized that the name of the old shopkeeper in front of him was Cai Gui. It was a really interesting name that fit his identity very well.
I just don¡¯t know what those guests will think when they find out.
While Lu Li was slandering, the shop owner Cai Laowen hurriedly replied: "All those corpses were put in the mourning hall by the old man, and now they are placed in the same room with the corpse no, the body of the old man's daughter-in-law."
Old man Cai originally wanted to say he was a walking corpse, but when he saw County Magistrate Chen frowning slightly, he immediately changed his mind.
"Walking corpse?" When he heard the word again, County Magistrate Chen's eyelids twitched slightly, and then he glanced at Lu Li, who had an extraordinary temperament in front of him, but he already believed in his heart that there was really a walking corpse causing trouble.
But no matter how he guessed it, as a scholar, especially a court official, the three views and responsibilities he had developed since childhood made him feel a little repelled from the bottom of his heart.
However, County Magistrate Chen did not show it, but simply ignored it.Regarding the question of corpses, he directly said: "Take me with you quickly to investigate."
"Okay, okay, sir, please come with me."
Old man Cai smiled flatteringly, and then led the way.
Passing through the corridor in front of the courtyard, Cai Laowen soon led Magistrate Chen and a group of government officials to a remote corner of the courtyard. There was a large room there, which was the mourning hall where the body of his daughter-in-law was kept. The former residence of several coachmen.
When the door was opened, a burning smell came out from the house, making everyone frown.
"My lord, the environment inside is dirty. Why don't you wait outside first, and I will take people in to check. After I see the results, I will report back to your lord." There was a man who looked like a headhunter next to him and said to County Magistrate Chen.
County Magistrate Chen endured the stench. Although he felt nauseated, he shook his head and said, "No, I'm not the kind of person who can't endure hardship. I can still bear the stench."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the room.
When people nearby saw it, they could only follow him.
A group of people walked in and looked up to see a row of straw mats spread on the floor in the room. On the straw mats, there were seven corpses neatly arranged, all of which were not covered with white cloth. It was convenient to investigate the situation at this time. .
¡°Wu Zuo, go up and see the cause of their death.¡± County Magistrate Chen said to the person beside him.
This is a middle-aged man about forty years old, with an old face, exuding a cold temperament, and an imperceptible rancid smell coming from his body. This is the work of Xinyang County.
At this time, Wuzuo heard the words of the county magistrate, walked forward, hit the first corpse, squatted down, and began to reach out to check various traces on the corpse.
While the autopsy was being conducted, County Magistrate Chen and the people around him were not idle. They all got closer and looked at the surface conditions of each corpse.
The bodies of the four coachmen and the bandit leader were a little better, but the bodies of the bandit who was burned to death by the fireball and the female corpse were horrifying.
The people watching from a distance were like this. The autopsy was being carried out below, and they were also afraid in their hearts.
?? In fact, most of the work in various counties is inherited by the family. If the father is a workman, his son will often take over the work of the workman when he grows up.
So the man in Xinyang County in front of me has been in contact with corpses since he was a child. It can be said that he grew up with corpses. He no longer has the fear of corpses that ordinary people have.
But now, looking at the five corpses that had become emaciated because their essence had been sucked away by the female corpse.
There was also the body that was burnt to charcoal by the fire and covered in pitch black.
And the body of the female corpse was burned all over, with holes all over her body, exuding a strong stench.
This kind of weird cause of death and the state of death were something he had never seen before.
An invisible sense of fear lingered in Zuo Zuo's heart, making him dare not continue to look at it. After hastily confirming the causes of death of several people, he stood up and stayed away from the corpses as if fleeing.
