Song Beiyun

Chapter 271: On January 1 of the second year, the rain, frost and leaves were red in February flowers

Song Beiyun is very good at setting up an imaginary enemy. No matter who comes up, he will set it as an enemy first, and then start to think of a way to simulate his behavior pattern, and use this behavior pattern to analyze how to deal with it. .

Generally speaking, the world itself is not able to withstand scrutiny, and Song Beiyun spends his spare time doing some strange things, such as "alchemy" and imaginary enemy wars.

So when something that might happen is about to appear, Xiaoyu is always surprised and asks why Mr. Song always knows the direction of things like a prophet, but it is not the case.

When one thing happens, it creates so many points of divergence that cause things to go in different directions.So as long as you simulate the approximate content of the most likely events on the main line, and then fine-tune them according to the actual situation, you will naturally become a wise and prophetic person in the eyes of others.

This is actually not difficult, but most of the time, because there is no solution, it can only be put on hold temporarily.For example, Song Beiyun has a thousand and one ways to solve the Jin Kingdom, Liao Kingdom, and grasslands, but the method belongs to the method, and the strength does not allow it.

"Anyway, as long as they don't kill me on the spot, I have a solution." Song Beiyun said to Miao Yan while braiding Qiaoqiao's hair: "Anyway, if you hide at home, everything will be fine."

"Is there no vassal king in Nanchang?"

"No, King Fu is in Fuzhou, King Rui is in Wuhan, King An is in Ningbo, and King Kang is in Nanning. There are no feudal kings in Nanchang."

Miao Yan groaned, and sat up: "So you have planned so much, but you don't even know if someone from the White Lotus Sect will trouble you over there?"

"What if there is?" Song Beiyun laughed: "Don't panic, after all, you have to be prepared. You also know that my cousin is very rebellious."

"You're already considered regional discrimination." Miao Yan shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's rest. I'm about to get motion sickness."

In the next few days, it’s like traveling. From Nanjing to Nanchang, the road is more than 1000 miles. It’s not bad if you can walk more than [-] miles a day. Play, stay in the official post at night, and set off the next day depending on your mood.

After a five-day journey, after changing horses twice in the middle, we finally came to the foot of the world-famous Lushan Mountain, facing the misty Poyang Lake, standing on a high place and looking down, it was refreshing.

"Wow..." Miao Yan stood by the lake where the end could not be seen at a glance: "This is the first time I have seen Poyang Lake. It turns out that it is really the same as the sea."

"That's right, the largest freshwater lake in the country." Song Beiyun smiled and acted as a temporary tour guide: "We are standing at the Hanpokou of Lushan Mountain. The weather is fine today, and we can directly see Poyang Lake. Further on is Xingzi County Yes, the tea cakes in Xingzi County are super delicious."

"I want to eat tea cakes!" Qiaoqiao turned her head and said, "Go, go!"

"Okay." Song Beiyun looked back at Xiaoyu who was sitting on the side looking at Yunshan Bihu in a daze: "Xiaoyu, let's go down the mountain and go to the county to eat something. We won't stay at the post today, go to the county Find a place to rest and recuperate, it’s almost here anyway, let’s play for two more days, as long as you arrive before the New Year’s Eve.”

Going down from Hanpokou, the mountain road is also rugged. Miaoyan was okay when going up the mountain, but going down the mountain was a bit uncomfortable. It was no match for a child like Qiaoqiao who was used to being wild in the mountains since childhood. In the end, Song Beiyun had to carry it all the way down the mountain. under.

After walking more than ten miles down the mountain, we arrived at Xingzi. Song Beiyun originally planned to play around, but he didn't expect to pass up his identity card when he first entered the county. The banquet invitation post was handed up.

"Look." Song Beiyun threw the notebook in front of Miaoyan and Qiaoqiao who were eating cakes: "This person is afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong, and I am only a broken sixth grade, so I hurried up here. Don't eat it , go to the banquet tonight."

"Does the lower official just need to hand over a certificate to invite the upper official?" Qiaoqiao said with displeasure, "A mere seventh-rank county magistrate has great official authority."

"He came in person, but I said I didn't have time and the journey was tiring, so I didn't want to go. However, the reason why he invited me to the banquet was very honest. It was his great-grandfather's centenary birthday today, and he wanted to invite me to the banquet. I was thinking about it, since the centenary of my great-grandfather’s birthday is already in use, so let’s go then.”

Song Beiyun's words made Miao Yan laugh aloud, she drank the tea in the cup and patted the dregs on her hands: "This is a bribery under a clever pretense."

"Oh, you can't say that. How can a scholar's business be called bribery?" Song Beiyun waved his hand and said, "I heard from him that today he still wants to invite me to appreciate a pair of lake clam pearls. He said they were as big as a child's fist. It's the Black Pearl."

Miao Yan's eyes lit up at that moment: "That must be very beautiful."

"It should be pretty." Song Beiyun said with a smile.

Miaoyan rolled her eyeballs and pulled Qiaoqiao up: "Let's go, change clothes."

"Oh? Didn't you say that you are offering bribes under a clever name?"

"Scholar's business, how can it be called bribery." Miao Yan rolled his eyes: "I'm afraid you are not stupid because of reading."

After tidying up, Song Beiyun took the two gorgeous girls down to the county magistrate's courtyard under the leadership of the county magistrate's subordinates. When he got there, he found that it was already decorated with lights and brightly lit.

"Master Song! There is a long way to go."

As soon as he entered the door, a man of about 35 years old greeted him. He smiled and cupped his hands to Song Beiyun and said, "Master Song is willing to come, but this official has a bright face, full of brilliance."

"Master Wu, you are being polite. Today, when you first arrive in Xingzi County, you will be entertained by Master Wu. Song is not very frightened."

"Don't dare, don't dare..."

Politeness and pleasantries, anyway, the set in the officialdom is complete, and everyone seems to be smiling and beaming.

"The two are Mrs. Song, right?" After exchanging greetings, Mr. Wu turned his head to look at Miaoyan and Qiaoqiao: "Oh, I don't know if the two ladies came here together. They are not polite. It's Mrs. Wu who came here. Please wait a moment, ladies."

Not long after, a maid came out of the house, she had a tray in her hand, on which two things were covered with red silk cloth, County Magistrate Wu took the tray, lifted the silk cloth on top, and it was black inside. White pearls the size of two fists are placed on top.

The black pearl is so clear and deep, with a glossy surface, that people fall in love with it at the first sight.And the white one looks ordinary at first glance, but if you take a closer look, it is radiant and colorful, and it is really the best thing.

"Two Mrs. Song, Mr. Wu didn't mention that it was my fault, so I hope that the two wives will not blame me. This small gift is not a respect, and I hope the two wives will accept it."

This thing is absolutely tribute-level, even Song Beiyun was a little stunned, after all, it was such a heavy gift, thinking about it, I am afraid that the county magistrate of Wu is definitely not as simple as simply treating guests to dinner.

"Master Wu is too polite, this is absolutely unacceptable."

"Mr. Song, don't look down on this subordinate official. I only have these items. I am ashamed to say it." He cupped his hands and said, "I hope Mr. Song and the two wives will accept it with a smile."

Song Beiyun glanced back and nodded lightly, then Miaoyan looked at Qiaoqiao and motioned for her to choose first, and Qiaoqiao asked Miaoyan to choose first.The two gave way, and finally Qiaoqiao chose the black pearl first, while Miaoyan happily chose the bright and transparent white pearl.

Seeing that the two of them finished the selection, Song Beiyun cupped his hands: "But thank you, Mr. Wu. Since Mr. Wu is so sincere, but I don't know what to ask for. Feel free to ask Mr. Wu, as long as you can do what you can."

Hearing that Song Beiyun was so straight to the point, Master Wu took a deep breath, as if relieved, he cupped his hands at Song Beiyun again: "Master Song, can I borrow a step?"

Song Beiyun nodded with a smile, then looked back.

"Two ladies, please wait a moment. Come on, bring the two ladies to the table for dinner!"

Song Beiyun didn't think there was anything wrong with the bribery in the Great Song Dynasty, and they couldn't even say it was bribery, because it is the custom here that people will laugh at people who give money directly, and they will be said to be "like a businessman". It's just a humiliation.

So they usually play with something called elegance, Wu Daozi's paintings, rare tea, beautiful handicrafts, and even some strange stones and strange trees.These elegant objects entered the hands of Shangguan, and after a few days, a businessman would come to collect them. For example, a subordinate gave Shangguan a piece of tile, which was worth a big buck at most, but the businessman came and pointed at him. Watts can be worth one hundred thousand guan.

This is called elegance!

How much are these two pearls?It is priceless. My child caught two mussels in the river. Coincidentally, there were two pearls in them. After playing with them for a while, I found them boring and gave them to friends with similar interests. What is it worth, right? .

As for how much those merchants are willing to spend to collect it, that is uncertain, but that is only a matter for merchants. No matter how powerful the king's laws are, people are not allowed to buy and sell things, and people are not allowed to accept gifts?Wouldn't that be rude?It is very different from the teachings of Confucius.

Walking into the inner room, Lord Wu suddenly made a deep bow to Song Beiyun and bowed down: "Master Song, save me!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Song Beiyun quickly stretched out his hand to support him: "Why did you play such a big game when you came up? You want me to save you, but you are also telling me what happened."

Master Wu took a deep breath, invited Master Song to sit on the chair, and then thumped his thigh heavily: "There are still a few days to report on the work, but there is still a major case in our county that has not been solved, and all the clues are still there. It is complete, but it is impossible to convict. This is the life of the lower official. Mr. Song, you are in charge of the Imperial City Department. The lower official has heard of your reputation for a long time. Now I want to ask Mr. Song to help the lower official. Lord Song's kindness, I will never forget it."

Song Beiyun rubbed his chin: "Don't you know that I'm actually a civil servant? I don't handle cases much."

"Master Song...":

"Okay, you can show me the file of the case tomorrow, but say yes, I will only give you three days at most, and I will leave after three days."

"Your Majesty, please remember Master Song's kindness!"

Chapter 272, January 1th, 20

In the early morning of the second day, Song Beiyun was invited to the county government office. The files of that case were all laid out on the counter table. There was not much content, but I don't know why there was such an indeterminate situation.

However, since he had received other people's things, it was natural to help them solve their problems. Accompanied by Mr. Wu, Song Beiyun quickly began to study the dossier.

"The case in September of the first year of Baoqing?"

After flipping through the file, Song Beiyun turned to look at Mr. Wu: "Why are the cases from last month accumulated until now?"

"Master Song... the lower officials deserve to die, I really don't know how to judge."

Song Beiyun was too lazy to listen to his justification, so he went straight to read the dossier, and the more he read the dossier, the more Song Beiyun broke out in a cold sweat. At the end, he almost jumped out and pointed at County Magistrate Wu and called "the dog thief of Qinghe County".

Let's just say how horrified Song Beiyun was by this case.First of all, the story begins with a woman in Xingzi County who was drying clothes at home one day, and accidentally dropped a stick...

The following plot is very homely, the window-opening stick hits a well-known local rich man, but that rich man has the same hobbies as Cao thief.

Afterwards, the two hooked up, but after all, this kind of thing can't be covered with paper, and rumors spread over time.

And this woman's husband is in the tea business in Xingzi County. He is honest and honest, and even a little simple and stupid. What does his appearance... use the words in this file to describe it as "a face as ugly as a beast, with ears covering his face, The hands are as long as the waist".

Imagine how ugly a person with a pair of pig ears and short hands like a Tyrannosaurus rex can be...

When it was revealed that this man's wife had committed adultery with another family, he went to question him. Logically speaking, what was the adultery in the Song Dynasty counted as?Let the man pay some money, go to the government to file for a divorce, and from then on, it will be fine for each other to be safe.

But this cheating woman is like a female driver in a car accident, she stepped on the accelerator and just when his man was about to drag her to the door to find the adulterer to explain, she actually used the hoe at home to kill her husband. I fainted.Then he cut his man into several pieces with a saw.

Up to this point in the plot, there is actually nothing wrong with it. It is just an ordinary criminal case. It is only natural to kill and pay for life, but the subsequent development has an unexpected turning point.

After the murder, the woman disappeared mysteriously, and then the woman's body was found in the mountains not far from the county seat. People said that she committed suicide in fear of crime, but some people said that she did not commit suicide but was killed by homicide.

Because she still held a lock in her hand, which was from the belt of her adulterer, but the adulterer was not in Xingzi County on the day the body was found in the mountain, and the man was a scholar and could not torture, so the case has been pending.

"It's bad luck for those who celebrate Chinese New Year."

Song Beiyun got up: "Take me to see the corpse, the case is not closed, the corpse should still be there, right?"

"Yes, yes, what Mr. Song said is that it is still in the mortuary, but...the corpse fell off the cliff and died. It is bloody and bloody, but it cannot be identified."

Song Beiyun walked out with his hands behind his back: "You lead the way. As long as it proves that she died before falling off the cliff, can it be determined that it was the adulterer?"

"At least the punishment can be used."

"Okay." Song Beiyun said as he walked out: "Let that adulterer come with me, and say that I want to clear him up."

Nowadays, there is no formal formation system for criminal officials, and Wu Zuo is not a forensic doctor, so they have no way to determine how the corpse died.It was not until the appearance of another Master Song more than 100 years later that the ancestor of forensic medicine was born seriously. Now, due to various reasons, it is impossible to judge the situation of the deceased, which has led to many unjust, false and wrong cases.

In the final analysis, the verdict of this case depends on whether the woman committed suicide or homicide, and suicide and homicide are extremely easy to judge.

Falling from a high mountain to a cliff, bloody and bloody.In fact, the easiest thing is to judge whether there is a life reaction in the wound. If there is a life reaction, the person fell to death, and if there is no life reaction, he died before the fall.

If he died before the fall, then the adulterer is seriously suspected, and if he died after the fall, there will be two situations, suicide and homicide.If you commit suicide, you can wash away the adulterer's suspicion of murder to a certain extent, but if the homicide is to push the person down, you need to go to the scene to investigate, but this is very troublesome, and you can only use some special methods to induce criminal suspects up.

When they came to the mortuary, Song Beiyun ordered someone to open the coffin, and there was indeed a female corpse lying inside. The face was no longer clear, the whole face was rotten, and the neck was broken, leaving only a layer of skin hanging there. .

"It's a bit miserable."

Song Beiyun clicked his tongue, and then ordered someone to carry the corpse out and put it on a wooden board, while he walked around the corpse several times, wrapped his fingers in oiled paper, and began to poke at the corpse's wounds.

Because it had not been long since the crime happened, and the weather was cold, and Xingzi County was so cold that it was close to Lushan Mountain, so the corpse was relatively well preserved, and there was no special change except for the spots and rigor.

"Hmm..." Song Beiyun inspected the corpse and threw away the oiled paper in his hand: "Where's that person? He hasn't come yet?"

"Here we come." County Magistrate Wu said quickly, "It won't take a while."

Soon, a scholar in Tsing Yi came in. When he saw the corpse on the table, he couldn't help but frowned, and turned his head away quickly not to look in that direction.

"Do you know the woman on stage?"

"I know... She and I had skin-to-skin contact, but I didn't know she was so cruel and merciless at the time. After her murder was revealed, I broke off contact with her."

The scholar spoke clearly and clearly, and he looked as if he was really fine.

Song Beiyun laughed lightly: "Excuse me, take off your shirt."

The scholar was stunned: "Why!"

"Take it off if you tell me." Song Beiyun frowned: "Don't force me to do it, take it off by yourself."

"I have a reputation!"

Song Beiyun slapped the Imperial City Commander on the table next to the female corpse: "You won't take it off!"

Huangcheng Division... Seeing this sign, everyone knows how ruthless the Huangcheng Division is these days. According to the businessman in the county, this Huangcheng Division hung tens of thousands of heads on the city gate overnight. There is a posture that those who obey will prosper and those who oppose will perish.

Seeing the vicious Song Beiyun, the scholar gritted his teeth but still took off his coat.

"Continue to take off until you take off."

"My lord, it's freezing here..."

"Take off!"

The scholar was helpless, resentful in his heart but there was nothing he could do, he just obediently took off his clothes, while Song Beiyun started to look back and forth around him, then suddenly pointed to the bruise on his waist and asked: "What is this? "

"It was a slippery road a few days ago. I fell on the porch and hit it."

Song Beiyun smiled and said, "Isn't it right? This Jue."

"Why did your lord say that?"

Song Beiyun crossed his arms: "This bruise should be caused by a girl who was struggling to die."

"My lord, you can't just talk about your innocence. Even if you are a Beijing official, I can sue you if I have a reputation."

"Okay! What a complaint." Song Beiyun stepped forward and patted his face: "I will let you increase your knowledge before entering again, and remember to be more knowledgeable in your next life."

Song Beiyun walked to the female corpse: "Come here, light the stove!"

Several charcoal stoves were lit, and the temperature in the room soon began to rise, and as the temperature rose, the female corpse gradually softened. After the female corpse was completely softened, he stepped forward and pressed his hand on the corpse. On the chest, after a few times, blood sprayed from the female corpse's trachea, but the blood was not like blood, but more like water.

Then Song Beiyun turned over the female corpse again, pointing to the corpse spots on her back: "There is water in the lung ducts, the corpse spots are light red, and there is no life reaction at the wound. The internal organs ruptured after falling from a high place, but there was no congestion in the abdominal cavity, and the base of the tongue was broken. Her It's the cause of death... not falling off a cliff."

As he spoke, Song Beiyun dragged a yamen servant over, brought a basin and placed it on a table about one meter away, then he lightly grabbed the yamen servant's neck with both hands, and pressed his head into the basin.After letting the yamen servant maintain that position, he grabbed the yamen servant's hand and scratched at him, but with so many winter clothes on, only the soft flesh around his waist could be easily caught.

"Handling the dead is extremely heavy, so you won't let go when you grab it, and the soft flesh around your waist will naturally have bruises." Song Beiyun patted his waist: "Look, is the height right? She grabbed The tassels around your waist, you were flustered at the time, so naturally you didn't pay much attention. Afterwards, you lied that you were going out to play for a few days, and at night you sneaked back to the mansion, took the corpse to the mountain and threw it down, thinking that the clothes were perfect. "
