Chapter 48 There is a homicide

The system never responded for no reason, and Liu Sheng just thought he heard it wrong.

Liu Sheng didn't take this matter to heart, he fished as usual, greeted everyone in the county government and left as usual.

Standing at the entrance of the county government office, Liu Sheng stretched out boredly, with a bit of sleepiness on his face, "The county government office has only a few things to do all day long, but... that's fine, I can get my salary while I'm a son-in-law!"

"walk home!"

When Liu Sheng returned home as usual, Princess Changle had already returned.

Princess Changle who returned to the mansion was very happy, which made Liu Sheng a little puzzled.

Princess Changle didn't hide it either, she explained:

"I went to Enci Temple today and met a Taoist priest!"

Question marks were all over Liu Sheng's forehead, "My lady, Enci Temple is a temple, right? Don't Taoist priests live in Taoist temples?"

"I haven't finished yet!" Princess Changle's interest remained undiminished. After all, she was also surprised at the time, "When I went to Enci Temple and came out, I met an old Taoist at the gate who was telling fortunes!"

"Then, he made a fortune for me, saying that Mr. Xiang, you are destined to be a marquis and worship your minister. The two of us will have many sons and blessings in the future, and a house full of children and grandchildren!"

Hearing this, Liu Sheng smiled dumbly, feeling guilty in his heart.

He is also not sure about the Taoist priests of this era. After all, there are such awesome people as Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, but Datang is so big, it is impossible to meet one of them by such a coincidence, right?

Liu Sheng laughed and shook his head, how could it be possible, the city of Chang'an alone is so big, how could it be possible to meet a fortune-teller at random with these two divine fortune tellers.

Still going to set up a stall at the gate of Enci Temple?Isn't this a signboard for smashing Buddhism!
However, seeing Princess Changle so happy, Liu Sheng naturally didn't expose the trick of the "liar". After all, in the eyes of others, any person on the street is the fate of the Marquis and Prime Minister.

Liu Sheng just breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the other party didn't say that he had the destiny to be an emperor, otherwise, he would really be eating the public meal of Datang.

"Wait...?" Liu Sheng suddenly stopped, grasping the point, "Lady, why are you going to Enci Temple? I remember that you don't seem to believe in Buddhism?"

Princess Changle smiled shyly and said with a smile:
"I'm going to pray to Avalokitesvara, but it seems that Taoism is more effective."

Women, they always like to believe what they want to believe.

Liu Sheng scratched his head, this kind of thing can be met but not sought after, it will come naturally when the time comes, if the time is not up, will he still have to die of exhaustion?
In this area, even in later generations, one still has to look at metaphysics.

Besides, he is not good at archery, and the sight is not enough, so he really can't do anything.

And although he could wait, Princess Changle obviously couldn't wait.

"Master, tonight I made a great tonic soup for you!" Princess Changle said with a smile, with deep meaning in her eyes, Liu Sheng involuntarily touched his back.

Reluctantly, when night came, the cattle in the son-in-law's mansion began to plow the land again.

……

early morning.

Chang'an County Government.

As the county magistrate, Liu Sheng did not continue to fish in the back hall, but sat solemnly behind his case with a serious expression.

Could it be that Liu Sheng suddenly changed his mind and decided to change his past and become the county magistrate?
Actually, no.

But...

This morning, before Liu Sheng warmed up his buttocks on the recliner in the back hall, someone came to report to the police.

This time it was not a trivial matter, but a murder case.

Surprised, Liu Sheng didn't dare to delay, so he immediately called everyone in the lobby to ask for details.

He has served as the county magistrate for some days, and during this period of time, there has been no incident, and even trivial matters have decreased a lot, but none of the murders have occurred.

Therefore, this was the first murder case he encountered as a county magistrate.

The person who reported the case was Zhang Dabao, a villager from Nanping Village, belonging to a village on the outskirts of Chang'an County.

Zhang Dabao is a farmer. Although he looks dark, he looks smooth, not honest.

"Zhang Dabao, tell me about the incident in detail!" Liu Sheng rang the gavel while everyone was whispering, and looked at Zhang Dabao.

Looking at the faces of the people, they were obviously shocked by this case. After all, Chang'an County belongs to Chang'an City. Although there are many troubles under the emperor's feet, they have nothing to do with the people at the bottom.

Therefore, murders are not common.

Following Liu Sheng's inquiry, everyone in the county government also fell silent, and looked at Zhang Dabao standing in the lobby.

Looking at this posture, Zhang Dabao didn't dare to hide it, so he quickly told the story:

"When I went to work in the field this morning, I passed a crooked tree at the end of the village and saw a dead body!"

"At that time, I was taken aback and didn't dare to look at anything, so I hurried to the county government to report the case to the official!"

"That corpse has nothing to do with me, please check it out, sir!"

Liu Sheng nodded secretly, the beginning of a very common case.

He didn't realize that there was anything wrong with it at all, so he changed his location and went to the crime scene first!

After asking some details, Liu Sheng hurriedly took people to the place where the murder occurred.

The outskirts of Chang'an County were not far from the county government office. In fact, it was only a few minutes before Liu Sheng brought the county government officials to Nanping Village.

When they arrived at the entrance of Nanping Village, everyone in the village also got up.

The villagers gathered together, with panic and anxiety on their faces. If the murderer was not found, maybe the murderer would continue to kill.

Liu Sheng is well aware of this truth, but first of all, he must appease the emotions of the people, and not let the panic spread, lest there will be mistakes.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Sheng arrived here, he first appeased the villagers, so that the villagers could feel at ease and not panic too much.

"Folks, don't panic, I will definitely catch the murderer!" Liu Shengguan said comfortingly.

"Master County Magistrate, villain..."

Seeing that the county magistrate came in person, Cunzheng hurriedly stood up, but before he could say a few words, Liu Sheng hurriedly said to him:
"Where is the end of the village, hurry up and take me there!"

The facts of the case are the most important thing now, Liu Sheng would not listen to the other party's nonsense that shirks responsibility.

Where did the villager dare to delay, he immediately called the villagers to get out of the way, and led the way ahead.

When passing by the crowd, Liu Sheng suddenly had a little panic in the eyes of a man among them.

There is something wrong with this person!

Liu Sheng secretly remembered the man's appearance, but Liu Sheng did not startle the snake, but ordered someone to guard at the entrance of the village.

Soon, Liu Sheng and others came to the end of Nanping Village under the leadership of Village Zheng.

On a crooked-neck tree by the woods at the end of the village, a woman was hung from the tree, shaking slightly with the wind.

The scene became weird for a while.
