Criminal investigation in ancient times

As the days went by, Luo Yu missed An Yunshu more and more, holding the child every day to wash his face with tears, and begging An Yunsheng several times, but he beat him out.

An Yunsheng tugged at her hair and said, "You are my wife, no matter if I can do it or not in this life, you can only be my wife." Luo Yu hated him!But he was afraid that An Yunsheng would attack An Yunshu again, so he had to give up.

After Sun Zhan's death, the matter of salt merchants in Jiangzhou was handed over to An Yunsheng. An Yunsheng went to Jiangzhou for more than a month.Luo Yu finally found an opportunity, and took advantage of the time to secretly bribe the guards to meet An Yunshu.

But An Yunshu was very indifferent to her, Luo Yu was not discouraged, he carried his son to see him every day, and asked his son to call him Daddy.Slowly Di An Yunshu softened, after all, he was his own flesh and blood, occasionally hugging the child and chatting with Luo Yu.This period of time was the happiest time in Luo Yu's life, but the time of happiness is always short. An Yunsheng came back from Jiangzhou...

Knowing from Xia Ma's mouth that the two got together while he was not in Di Gongfu, An Yunsheng was furious, and hung An Yunshu on the Di locust tree in the courtyard that night, first with a whip, and then with a red fire The hook scalds his work until Ma Tangdi is beaten to death.

Luo Yu rushed forward like crazy, An Yunsheng smiled and said: "Don't you just love him?! You see that I don't look down on me, do you? Is it! Then how about I let him be like me?"

Luo Yu cried and watched as her husband was scalded by the thing, and both of them passed out...

Luo Yu woke up with only one thought left, kill him, kill him... kill him!kill him! ! !

Luo Yu: "Then I strangled him to death with my hair while he was asleep."

After hearing this, Zhang Yaozhi sighed and said, "Then how did you hang An Yun Shengdi's body on the tree?"

Luo Yu said with a smile: "Of course I have my brother to help me, that child told me to do this, he helped me hang up the corpse, let him have a taste of this feeling... Hahaha~ Sure enough, he helped me hang it up... Shu Lang, Shu Lang, Linglong dice An Hongdou, lovesickness to the bone...know...do you?" Black blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

The yamen servant said in surprise: "Da Ma! She has taken poison!"

Zhang Yaozhi said: "Call the imperial doctor quickly! Who do you think Di Nama is?!"

Luo Yu lay on the ground twitching all over and stopped talking, staring at the side without blinking.

An Yunshu's body was stiff, and when he turned around, tears were streaming down his face, he crawled towards her with his stumped legs, hugged her into his arms, and wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, but more and more blood flowed out.

An Yunshu tremblingly said: "Yu'er, why are you bothering?"

Luo Yu: "Shu Lang...you...you never...call...call me...wife, call me... now, okay?"

An Yunshu closed his eyes and two lines of tears flowed down his face and opened his mouth, "Yu'er...my wife, Yu'er is my wife!"

Luo Yu coughed, and a mouthful of dirty blood flowed out from his mouth. When the doctor came, Ma had no pulse.The doctor shook his head at Zhang Yaozhi and said, "It can't be done."

An Yunshu hugged Luo Yu tightly, feeling unbearable heartache, biting his lower lip to bleed, breathing heavily, but still unable to breathe.Zhang Dama couldn't stand it anymore, he waved his hand and said, "Bury Ma, this case is closed."

Although the case was closed, Zhang Yaozhi still lingered about that matter. Who helped her kill An Yunsheng to Di...

***

As the weather gets warmer, people in Tongzhou have already started planting in spring, most of which are drought-resistant wheat.The ancient di wheat is different from the modern high-yielding di wheat species. In addition, the land is barren, and one mu of land can harvest [-] catties. This is still a good time. If there is a drought, there will be no harvest.This year is a good year. There have been a few timely rains in the past few days, and the common people must be much better off.

Zhang Rui just got up in the morning, changed into his normal clothes to freshen up, opened the door and went out to see that Hu Zi was bullying Qing Luo.

Huzi: "Hey, you said that a jar of di wine brewed by your master can sell for 1000 taels? Just bragging, 1000 taels can buy the entire Di wine cellar in Tongzhou City."

Qing Luo frowned and said: "Why should I brag, Master Di Jiu is originally worth 1000 taels of silver, and there are so many that I can't buy it even if I want to buy it."

Huzi waved his hands and said, "Hey, yo, 1000 taels of silver are all wine. Why did your master throw you away when you are so rich? I'm afraid he will make you poor? Hahaha."

Tibedi was fine, but as soon as his master threw him away, Qing Luo's eyes turned red, and he turned and left.

Huzi laughed wantonly from behind and mocked him for bragging.

I saw Qing Luo pick up the big brick on the ground, shine it on Hu Zi Di's face, and then slapped it down... Although he was young and weak, but he also hit Hu Zi Di's nose to bleed, and his face turned blue.

Zhang Rui couldn't help laughing and walked forward to pull the two couples apart and said, "Hu Zi, you are not allowed to bully Qing Luo again."

Huzi pointed at his own nose and said, "I bullied him?! Look at him beating me up."

Zhang Ruidao: "It's not that you laughed at him first, besides, his master Di Jiu really...uh... sells a jar of 1000 taels of silver." Suddenly remembering what he did in Fengxuan, his face turned red.

Hu Zi snorted, held his nose and ran towards the backyard.

Qing Luo looked at him worriedly and said, "He... is he okay? I didn't think... I didn't want to bleed him."

Zhang Rui patted his head and said, "It's okay, that kid is skinny, if he bullies you again, you can fight back and show him."

"Puchi..." Zhou Yin just happened to see this scene and laughed out loud.

Zhang Rui raised his eyebrows and walked over, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhou Yin leaned close to his ear and whispered: "Aren't you really afraid that Qing Luo will win over him by telling you about your pants peeing?"

Zhang Rui: "..." Turn around and leave.

Zhou Yin reached out and grabbed his sleeve, and accidentally pulled his clothes away, revealing the white Dixie clothes inside.

Zhou Yin: "Uh...me." He swallowed.

Zhang Rui rolled his eyes, tidied up his clothes and said from the bottom of his heart: Wait for another two years, I will definitely do you.

In a few days, I will go to several counties under Di to conduct inspections. This is a routine matter for every prefect.Of course, there are many magistrates who are not willing to go to the county for this trip, and just let their subordinates go down, meaning that it is over.

Of course, Zhang Rui can't do this. First, he wants to promote potatoes and cotton. Although this season has passed the season for planting these two crops, he might try it next year.

Some time ago, the emperor had sent a new Di Dutong to come, and he added the Tongzhou Di Bing Talisman by the way.The new Didu's surname is Fu, and his name is Fuxing. He is a five-year-old and three-year-old man. He doesn't know which god he offended, so he was transferred to Tongzhou to fill the vacancy.

Zhang Rui also took the opportunity to mention the taxation of Tongzhou to the emperor. After the review of the Ministry of Households, it was decided to reduce the taxation of Tongzhou from one bucket of grain per mu of land to two buckets of grain per mu of land in the next three years.It is precisely through this bucket of grain tax that the drought-resistant and high-yield crops such as cotton and potatoes are promoted. Farmers who grow potatoes can pay a bucket of grain less for everything, and the same is true for cotton.Crop seeds are drawn from them to exchange Di tax for Di in other places.

Even though farmers are encouraged to plant on a large scale, only a few dare to try to grow them. For generations, old farmers cannot accept new things for a while.But there are also some people who are greedy for this bucket of grain and plant these two crops in the barren land with low grain production. They did not expect that the income in the autumn harvest will be surprisingly good!

The Tongzhou official road was also reorganized, and a post station was built on the road for Dima carriages to rest and eat.Many merchants were eager to try. When the first merchant came back safely, everyone rushed in. In half a year, Tongzhou changed from a "ghost town" of economic depression to an economic hub again.The common people know that the new prefect Di compiled a lot of limericks to praise Zhang Rui for the benefit of Tongzhou, and even many merchants provided Zhang Rui with longevity tablets... This is all a later story.

This day, Zhang Rui and Zhou Yin were sitting in the carriage, Zhan Qing was driving in front, Duan Xiaobai was riding behind the carriage, and the four of them came to the nearest Dizhaoshui County.

Gong Yuan, the magistrate of Zhaoshui County, had received the news a long time ago and waited at the entrance of the city early in the morning. Zhang Rui and the others were stopped as soon as they entered the city.

Gong Yuan asked Zhan Qing: "This is Zhang Dama in the car." Zhan Qing nodded.Gong Yuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "I'm going to pay my respects to the magistrate."

Zhang Rui lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped down from the carriage and said, "Excuse me, Gong Dama, please wait a long time, you are interested."

Gong Yuan was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Don't dare, the next official should be Di." The county magistrate Di had to point Zhang Rui to give him an excellent grade in the three-year assessment, so of course he had to be "conscientious".

A group of people went to the county magistrate Di's office. The county magistrate had already ordered food and wine in the restaurant.Even Di Zhouyin, who seldom eats out on weekdays, ate a few mouthfuls.

Gong Yuan didn't know Zhou Yindi's identity, but he still had some winks, seeing that he was driving with Zhang Rui in the same car, and his demeanor was noble, so he must not be an ordinary couple, and he respected the two couples as much.

After dinner, he wanted to arrange a place for a few of them to live in Di, but was rejected by Zhang Rui: "I came to Zhaoshui County for assessment, and to understand the people's sentiments, what's the point of just staying in your mansion? "

Gong Yuan hastily said yes, but his heart was full of energy. The people of Di in the county must live up to it, and don't make any troubles, otherwise he might lose his Diwu hat!

In the afternoon, Zhang Rui and the others came out from the magistrate's mansion and walked along the roadside.

Zhou Yin: "Suddenly I feel that this small county is not bad, the folk customs are simple, and it is quieter than Kyoto."

Zhang Rui said with a smile: "Then how about finding a place like this to live in seclusion when we are old?"

Zhou Yin raised his eyebrows: "That's it, if you are greedy for power, I will tie you up too."

Zhang Rui couldn't help laughing, greedy for power?There was a storm in the court, and I didn't know when I was caught in the whirlpool, and it was too late for me to hide, so how could I be greedy.It's not bad to be a small county magistrate, to manage the common people, enjoy poems and paintings with old friends in spare time, and settle cases when there are cases, wouldn't it be pleasant.

Zhaoshui County is considered to have the best geographical location among several counties in Tongzhou, and the flat land is more suitable for farming, so the people's living conditions are generally much better than other counties.

A few friends found an inn, because the business road was reopened, so there were many passing merchants in the inn.The merchants who came and went chatted loudly, each talking about the weird things they encountered.

Zhou Yin listened for a while and asked, "Is it really as they said Di?"

Zhang Ruidao: "Of course, if you go to the north, there will be snow that does not melt all year round. If you go to the south, there are four seasons in summer without spring, autumn and winter. If you go to the east, you will see the endless sea, and if you go to the west, you will be blocked by a high mountain."

Zhou Yin said: "I have read all these in Kyushu Chronicles."

Zhang Rui wanted to say that he had been there, but only in his previous life.

One of the men from the north, Di, had a particularly loud voice, talking about Di was an affair.

"A group of fourteen of us went to the south to sell medicines. On the way, we met a beautiful woman. The color of that woman was so beautiful that I would never forget it for the rest of my life. She had curved brows with willow leaves and a cherry mouth. Anyone who saw her wanted to look at her more. Two eyes."

Everyone booed: "Have you made out with that little lady?"

The big man laughed and said: "We are serious merchants, how dare we do such beastly things. Although we love this little lady Di's appearance, I don't dare to be presumptuous. The little lady said that she would go along with us, hoping to follow the caravan. Our shopkeeper At that time, Di's eyes were straight, and his head was as dizzy as if he was pounding garlic."

The corner of Zhou Yin's mouth twitched and said softly: "Nonsense."

Zhang Rui couldn't help laughing and said, "Listen to what he said about Di."

The big man: "The little lady followed our caravan and started to go. She was fine at first, and the little lady would occasionally cook some meals for us. Oh, the food is not to mention delicious. It is three times more delicious than Diwenxianglou in Kyoto. point!"

Everyone laughed and said: "You brag about that, have you been to Wenxianglou?"

The big man said: "I'm just making a metaphor, you just listen to me."

Everyone around was silent and listened to the man continue talking.

"It's strange that something happened. After a few days, every night in the caravan, one of the caravans would suddenly disappear. It was only discovered the next day by me. When I found out, my body was so shriveled that I couldn't die anymore."

Big man: "At first we thought it was some kind of beast that killed the caravan brothers. Three brothers died in a row. Everyone was startled and frightened. Then we realized that something was provoked that killed the caravan brothers. Later we We discussed it at night, and the two sisters took turns to watch it. As a result, guess what you saw at night?"

Everyone guessed: "It's that little lady!" "Did you squeeze dry? Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.

The big man said: "Oh, what is that little lady? It's actually a mountain spirit that has turned into a dimple shape! When she appeared at night and wanted to drink her blood, fortunately, I gave her a little boy's urine, and the mountain spirit immediately ran away crying and howling. gone."

The guy beside him joked: "You didn't want to pee out of fear and run Ma Xun away, did you?" Di Ma burst into laughter in the lobby.

The big man blushed and said, "Go to Di, if you see that mountain spirit, you will be scared to death."

Zhang Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "It's all nonsense, let's go upstairs."

Zhou Yin: "How do you know it's nonsense? What if it's really a mountain spirit that harms you?"

Zhang Ruidao: "There is no such thing as a mountain spirit."

Zhou Yin: "How do you know if you haven't seen it?"

Zhang Rui wanted to say that feudal superstitions are not credible, but he didn't know how to say it, so he nodded, "Yes, maybe there will be, maybe it will be the beautiful little lady Di, who will die like a ghost under the peony flowers."

Zhou Yin raised his eyebrows: "What if the mountain spirit is an old and ugly monster?"

Zhang Rui: "..." Goodbye.

Seeing him rushing upstairs and ignoring him, Zhou Yin raised the corners of his mouth happily, as if he had discovered a new joy.

The inn rooms are tight, there are only two Tianzihao Di rooms left, and the rest of them are Dizihaodi. It was originally planned that Zhang Rui and Duan Xiaobai would have one room, and Zhou Yin and Zhan Qing would have one, but Zhou Yin frowned after hearing this. Suo hesitated for a while and said: "It's better for me and Zhang Rui to share one room, and you two to share one room. Anyway, the two rooms are next to each other. If there is anything, you can hear me calling here. At worst, there are hidden guards."

Duan Xiaobai and Zhan Qing didn't have any objections, and the two of them just happened to be able to discuss martial arts, while Zhang Rui went into the room with a blushing face and said nothing.

The two twins didn't talk when they entered the room, Zhang Rui leaned against the head of the bed and closed his eyes to rest.Zhou Yin picked up a script book on the desk and read it.

The sky darkened quickly, Zhou Yin put down the book, pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "You still talk to me?"

Zhang Rui opened his eyes and said in surprise, "How do you know I'm not asleep?"

Zhou Yin: "Guess Di."

Zhang Rui rolled his eyes and said from the bottom of his heart: Why didn't he see that he had so many intentions before.

Zhou Yin got up and walked to the bed, put his hands on Zhang Rui's sides, and put his face in front of him, a faint wave of medicine wanted to spread and envelop him in his arms.Zhang Rui closed his eyes and felt his heart beating faster and faster.

"Open your eyes." A hoarse voice whispered in Zhang Rui's ear.

Zhang Rui opened his eyes slightly, looking at the face close at hand, his deep eyes seemed to be sucked in.

The two twins looked at each other like this, as if they were competing for something, who could not help but kissed each other first, the scorching breath came over their faces, their lips overlapped, and they rubbed each other.It has to be said that Zhou Yin is really a good student. He performed super-level this time after the previous two experiences. He only put his brother-in-law Di on the bed, his eyes blurred.

Zhang Rui was scorched all over by his relatives, not to be outdone, he hooked his neck, took him to the bed, turned over and pressed him on top, the two bodies were close together, the roar of each other's heartbeat was deafening.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.
