Criminal investigation in ancient times

It turned out that five years ago, this southern Xinjiang woman came north alone to find medicine.This woman originally knew some voodoo techniques, but generally she would not dare to come forward.Unexpectedly, they accidentally fell into the tricks of those merchants and were defiled by them. When the merchants saw the woman passed out, they hurried away in fright, leaving the woman lying naked on the bed.

That day Xiao Er knocked on the door of the guest room before going to the lobby to eat as usual, but when she knocked on the woman's room, she found that the door was not locked.I called a few times and saw that there was no response inside, thinking that there was nothing inside, and suddenly became greedy and planned to steal some money.Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room and saw the woman lying naked on the bed, he would suddenly become lustful again.

As a result, the woman woke up from a coma, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that the little girl was raping her. She was ashamed and angry and pinched her long fingernails on the little girl, saying, "I want you to remember my face forever!" Said Stop biting his tongue to kill himself, and spit half of his tongue on Xiaoer's body.

Xiao Er was so frightened that he ran out without even lifting his pants, bumping into others, if anyone saw him like this, he would inevitably be imprisoned.It was only when he fled back to his own room that he realized that if he was pursued, wouldn't he be sentenced to death? !There are old and young in my family, how can I go to prison to eat prison food?Scared by this thought, he ran back in a hurry, went into the deceased's room and recited "Amitabha" silently in his heart, begging her to forgive him, then wiped the blood on the ground, moved the woman to the bed, and covered the quilt.By the way, search for the valuables in the room, including the turtledove grass.

At first he didn't know what it was for, but when he took it to the pharmacy and asked, it turned out to be poison. He was so scared that he almost threw it away. He felt that it was a pity that the poison was so rare, so he kept it hidden in his residence.

Later, just like the shopkeeper said, the two partnered to build it in the wall. I didn't expect it to be discovered after so many years.

And Xiao Er was caught by the woman temporarily, and the woman had turtledove poison in her nails. After the scratch, he was slightly poisoned, but he didn't know it. His head still couldn't calm down, he always thought that the ghost was haunting him after the woman died.

That day when he heard the big man tell the story in the inn, he fixed his eyes and saw that the big man was one of the businessmen who went north five years ago!He was so frightened that he was at a loss what to do, afraid that no one would know, so he put the turtledove poison in the big man's meal.

At night, he hid the prepared ponytail on the beam of the house. As long as the big man turned off the lights and lay on the bed, he could see the ponytail hanging down like long hair...

Sure enough, the big man ate the poisonous food and became poisoned at night. When he was sleeping, he saw the long hair and thought of the ghost. He screamed and ran out of the window. The faster they moved, Zhang Rui, even a layman, understood that the turtledove grass could create illusions, so the big man thought that he had been chasing him all the way to the outside of the city, and finally died of poison...

The case was clear, but unexpectedly, an old case from five years ago was brought up. The two cases were solved simultaneously, but the poor woman bit her tongue and committed suicide. Xiaoer was sentenced to hang for rape and murder.

Hearing Zhang Rui's sentencing, the second child actually smiled, with a look of relief on his face, and was taken away by the yamen servant.

Zhou Yin said: "I didn't expect it to be caused by poison, I thought there was really..."

Zhang Rui: "What's there? A beautiful mountain spirit?"

Zhou Yin said: "There are demons and ghosts." The two looked at each other and laughed.

The magistrate of Zhaoshui felt relieved, and thought, is the magistrate really unusual!The murder case was solved in just a few days, and if it was normal, he might have been fooled by this little girl.But this turned up the old case five years ago. At that time, I was not the magistrate of Zhaoshui County, so it shouldn't be counted on me!

One day later, Zhang Rui and the others decided to bid farewell to Zhaoshui and continue their journey.Before leaving, Zhang Rui gave Gong Yuan the policies on taxation and planting potatoes and cotton, and urged him to get this matter done, otherwise the assessment would definitely be a bad one.

Gong Yuan hurriedly responded in his heart and said: "If this matter is done, maybe you can let the elders take a look at it, and we must not make any more mistakes!"

***

The carriage got on the road, Zhan Qing drove one, He Ming drove one, and Duan Xiaobai was still swaying on the horse behind.

The weather was fine early in the morning, Zhang Rui opened the car curtain to take a few breaths of fresh air and said in his heart: Compared with the modern, unpolluted fresh air, this ancient air is simply different, and everything feels much more relaxed.Patou saw Duan Xiaobai riding a horse outside very comfortably, turned to Zhou Yin and said: "My lord, you can also ride a horse."

Zhou Yin nodded, "Children of the royal family have to learn riding and archery since they were young. Although I am not in good health now, I have always been very good at riding and archery. When my father was alive, he once said that I have the talent of a general."

Zhang Rui sat back in the car and raised his eyebrows and smiled at him: "Can General Zhou teach me how to ride a horse in his free time?"

"If you want to learn, I might as well teach you now." He stood up and said to Duan Xiaobai, "Xiao Bai, get in the carriage and lend us the horse."

Duan Xiaobai nodded, clamped the horse's stomach, and the horse trotted to the side of the carriage.One jumped into the carriage and sat beside Zhan Qing, and handed the reins to Zhou Yin.

Zhan Qing stopped the carriage, and Zhou Yin jumped out of the driveway: "Come on, while we have time, I will teach you."

Zhang Rui jumped down from the carriage with a flushed face, "You really want to teach me?"

Zhou Yin: "Yeah, why, are you afraid?"

Zhang Ruidao: "I'm not afraid, but I'm not afraid. Come on." Walking to the side of the horse, he stretched out his hand to touch the horse's body, swallowed and said, "Brother Ma, you have to be strong, don't throw me off!"

Stretching on the saddle and stepping on the stirrups, he jumped onto the horse.

Zhou Yin: "Not bad! I thought you couldn't even ride a horse."

Zhang Rui raised his eyebrows: "You underestimate me."

Zhou Yin pulled the saddle and got on the horse and sat behind him.The warm body is pressed against each other, and both of them are tense.The horse snorted and circled.

Zhang Rui pulled the rein and clamped the horse's belly tightly in fright.Zhou Yin hurriedly wrapped his arms around his waist and said, "Relax, your grip is too tight."

Zhang Rui blushed: "..."

Zhou Yin: "Hey, I said don't pinch the horse's belly..."

Zhang Rui nodded and his legs relaxed, Zhou Yin took the rein from his hand and patted the horse's butt lightly, and the horse trotted up to catch up with the carriage in front.

Duan Xiaobai and Zhan Qing in the car couldn't help shaking their heads and laughing at Erma's nervous appearance.

Zhan Qing sighed and said, "It's the first time I've seen the prince like this. Ever since I met Mr. Zhang, the whole prince has changed."

Duan Xiaobai smiled and took out the small bamboo flute from his waist and played it, a cheerful flute was blown away.

Zhang Rui completely relaxed and leaned on Zhou Yin's body and said: "When I came to Tongzhou on the road, one day the weather was like this, there were unknown wild flowers blooming on the road, and Xiao Bai also played a flute, I suddenly thought You, thinking how wonderful it would be to be able to do this with you one day, I never thought it would happen so soon."

Zhou Yin was moved when he heard that, he tightened his waist and put his hands on his ear and kissed lightly: "Yin Sansheng is lucky to meet you, you don't know that I have thought that if you like me, I will tie you back In the mansion, no matter what you do, I will not let you leave."

Zhang Rui joked, "My lord is so powerful."

Zhou Yin hurriedly said: "Hey, just think about it, even if you are imprisoned in the palace, you will be different from ordinary people without your wings."

Zhang Rui: "By the way, there is one thing that has been bothering me."

Zhou Yin: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Rui: "Why have you passed the weak crown years and haven't married yet? Is it... you don't like women or, cough... your health is not good?"

Zhou Yin's complexion turned black and he said: "You are not healthy?" He stretched out his hand and pinched his waist, exhaling hot breath in his ear, "Or do you want to try it? Then he kissed his neck from behind."

Zhang Rui blushed and said stiffly, "Hey, you... don't move around, be careful that we fall down later."

Zhou Yin couldn't help "puchi" laughing, lying on his back and said, "Your body is almost stiff like a log."

***

After walking sixty or seventy miles from Zhaoshui County, they passed a town. Because they were not in a hurry, everyone decided to rest in the town for a night and then continue on their way tomorrow.

It was only when I first entered the town that I realized that the town was very deserted. People who came and went saw the carriage hiding far away, and wished they could take a detour, which surprised Zhang Rui and the others.

Zhan Qing asked an old man on the side of the street, and when he heard that the accent was from a foreign country, he waved his hands and said he didn't know, and left in a hurry, covering his mouth and nose.

Zhan Qing: "My lord, it's so strange here, why do you hide when you see it?"

Zhou Yin said: "Go and see an inn."

The group searched for a long time and finally found a simple and small inn. The waiter in the inn was cleaning the table. When he saw a few people coming in, he was startled and said, "A few... do you want to stay in the inn? Hit the tip?"

Zhang Ruidao: "Let's stay in the hotel and serve some food and wine by the way."

Xiao Er was stunned for a while and said, "How many masters are from other places?"

Zhang Rui nodded and said, "Tongzhou City."

Xiaoer patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, he didn't come from Changxing County."

Changxing County?Aren't they going to Di County? "What happened in that county that made the whole town look like it's afraid to disappear?"

Xiaoer put down the rag in his hand and said, "Don't you know? There is a disease in Changxing County, it's already dead!"

Zhang Rui was taken aback and said, "Then why is there no news from other places?"

Xiaoer said: "It's normal that there is no news from other places. The Changxing county magistrate sealed off the city, preventing anyone infected with the epidemic from leaving the city or entering the city. We know it's because a few people in the town work in Changxing County. He escaped to tell us, but unfortunately these people did not survive, all of them died of the disease, and even his family members were also infected with the disease. Now the town is in danger of being infected, so I advise you guys It's better for the guest officer to leave as soon as possible, otherwise the disease will not last long, and even the Daluo Jinxian can't cure it if it gets infected." After saying that, he put the rag on his shoulder and walked back.

He Mingdao: "Elder, listen to what this Xiao Er said, the epidemic is so severe, why didn't the magistrate of Changxing report it?"

Zhang Rui thought of the magistrate of Changxing County named Wang Yun, why he was so lofty and pedantic, he was afraid that the epidemic could be hidden and dealt with, but unexpectedly it developed out of control.

Zhan Qing: "What should we do now?" Zhou Yin looked at Zhang Rui, and Zhang Rui said: "First, go to the house of the one who is infected with the disease." Zhou Yin hesitated to speak.

Zhang Ruidao: "Don't worry, everyone wrap your mouth and nose with cloth scarves later, don't touch anything in that room, Xiao Bai, go and find out where the sick man's home is?" Duan Xiaobai nodded and went out.

Most of the ancient epidemic diseases were influenza, leprosy or smallpox, but the level of ancient medicine was too low to cure them, so they could only prevent those who were not infected.

After a while, Duan Xiaobai came back and said, "I asked if anyone got the disease, it's just..."

Zhang Rui: "What's wrong?"

Duan Xiaobai: "Then seven or eight members of the family have contracted the disease, and they have not seen this family for several days."

Zhang Rui said with a solemn expression: "He Ming, get ready to soak the cloth towel in medicine, we'll go in and have a look later, and wait outside."

Zhou Yin said: "No way! Either let me go together, or no one is allowed to go."

Zhang Rui comforted: "Don't worry, I'll go in and have a look and then come out. There are too many together, what if I get infected?"

Zhou Yin said: "Then I will go in with you, and there will be no more than me."

Zhan Qing said: "I want to protect the prince's safety."

Duan Xiaobai: "Ah... I know how to do light work."

Lin Xiaoze said weakly, "I won't touch anything."

Zhang Rui: "..."

He Ming patted Lin Xiaoze on the shoulder and said, "You still don't want to go in."

Lin Xiaoze tugged at his sleeve and said, "I don't trust you."

He Ming smiled: "It's nothing, don't you know what we are capable of?"

Zhang Rui coughed lightly and said: "Well, He Ming, go and prepare the detoxifying and heat-clearing medicinal juice and bring it there. The four of us will go in. Xiao Bai, you and Xiao Ze will meet us outside. If you find something abnormal, come back immediately. Don't act on your own!"

They all nodded, and packed their things near the evening, wrapped their faces with cloth towels stained with medicine juice, put on homemade gloves, and armed themselves and headed towards the house that was infected with the disease.

Duan Xiaobai led everyone to the door of the house, and a foul smell came from inside.I saw that the gate was closed tightly, and the neighbors next to me had already moved away for fear of being infected with the disease.

Lin Xiaoze tightly covered his mouth and nose and said, "What kind of smell is this, it smells so bad."

He Ming said: "Go to the carriage with Brother Duan and stay there."

Lin Xiaoze hesitated for a moment and nodded, followed Duan Xiaobai to leave the door after ten steps.

Zhang Rui went to the door and knocked on the door, but there was no sound inside.The door was tightly inserted from the inside, and it couldn't be opened from the outside. Zhou Yin asked Zhan Qing to jump up the wall and into the yard to open the door.

But after going in for a long time, there was no sound at all, and the door was never opened. Zhang Rui was a little anxious, and knocked from the outside: "Zhan Qing? Zhan Qing! Open the door!"

After a while, Zhan Qing's voice came from inside and said, "What's the matter... There are two corpses at the door..."
