I am the county magistrate in Daming

There was a murder just now, and now there is a person lying at the door who doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, anyone will be afraid.

The other porter was more courageous, and ran over through the early morning fog, stretching out his hand to push the people on the ground.

"Ho!" He gasped, looked at his companion and said, "It's cold."

"Then what are you talking about? Hurry up and tell the master!!"

Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou hid behind the corner, keeping an eye on the situation at the gate of the Wu Mansion.

After a while, Wu Can came out with Wu Shengye's support.

"Father, you're still alive." Wu Shengye was not afraid, and stepped forward to sniff the man on the ground. "It seems that he is a fleeing man. He stayed outside all night and froze."

"Ahem..." Wu Can coughed, pointed at the man and said, "Take it into the mansion and find a doctor."

Wu Shengye disapproved of Wu Can's actions, frowned and said, "Father, the government..."

"I told you to carry it in!!" Wu Can coughed harder.

Wu Shengye quickly lowered his head and said, "Yes, father calm down and take care of yourself."

Mu Qingtian turned her head and whispered, "It's done."

The person lying on the ground was not an outsider, but Qian Duoduo who came with him.The water in Wu's house was deep, and Mu Qingtian had an intuition that he couldn't find anything if he asked directly, so he thought of a way to let Duoduo sneak into the mansion first to find out information.

Zhu Jingshou nodded, and the two retreated out of the corner through the thick fog, and returned to the Anji county government office.

"Do you want to ask me, how do you know that Wu Can will definitely take Duoduo into the mansion?" Mu Qingtian quickly walked a few steps and stopped in front of Zhu Jingshou, turned around and said.

Zhu Jingshou laughed, stepped forward and hooked Mu Qingtian's little finger, and asked, "Am I being so obvious?"

"Master Mu has sharp eyes!"

"Yes Yes."

Since Duoduo is going to be an undercover agent, how can he get into the Wu family smoothly without being suspected?

"Come to the door rashly and say that you want to work, there is a high probability that Wu Can will not accept it."

"But it's different for a dying person." Mu Qingtian shook his head triumphantly.

Along the way, they inquired, apart from the chaotic relationship between the Wu family, everyone mentioned "goodness" about Wu Can.If such a unified caliber is not maintained intentionally, it will definitely not be achieved.

Wu Can considers himself a "good man", but he is still rigid and abides by the rules.Just like what Wu Shengye said, the matter with the government has not been resolved, and it is simply not suitable for anyone with unknown background to enter the government now.

But Duoduo didn't fall on the street or in the ruined temple, but in front of the Wu Mansion.Even if Wu Can didn't want to accept it, he had to accept it.The image of a "good man" who has been operating for many years cannot be destroyed once.

"So that's it." Zhu Jingshou figured out the joints, and lovingly hooked Gou Mu Qingtian's wrist.

"Qingqing is too smart."

Mu Qingtian was a little embarrassed by Zhu Jingshou's praise, but instead held his hand and said, "It's a small matter."

"Now we'll wait for Duoduo to bring back some news. Let's interrogate the three servants who found the human legs first."

Although the body was found in Wu's mansion, none of the Wu family knew about it.An Bai first arrested Wu Can and the two young masters of the Wu family for interrogation, but nothing came out of it.Later, rumors of "the silkworm god killed people" arose, and everyone said that Wu Can was wronged.Under pressure, An Bai could only let him go.

But the human legs were found on a boat driven by three servants, and they couldn't deny it.And after the interrogation, all three of them identified each other as the murderer, so they have been imprisoned until now.

An Bai purposely got up early in the morning, cheering up and preparing to cooperate with Mu Qingtian in the interrogation and handling of the case. Unexpectedly, when he walked to the imperial envoy's courtyard, there was no one there.

He casually stopped a servant and asked, "Where did the imperial envoy go?"

The boy replied: "My lord and the lord have gone out, but I don't know what they are going to do."

An Bai was a little crazy.They have already arrived in Anji County, shouldn't they investigate the case quickly?Going out so early in the morning, where to go shopping?

On the way back, the morning market just opened.Mu Qingtian also ate a small wonton by the way, and then walked to the county government leisurely.Zhu Jingshou was responsible for carrying things behind him, there were hot buns just out of the oven, and lotus leaf chicken... In short, he bought all the food that Mu Qingtian could buy in the morning market.

"grown ups!!!"

An Bai couldn't hold back, and was about to go out to find Mu Qingtian, when he saw the man took a piece of rice cake, gnawed it and walked towards the county government office.

No hiccups! !

The rice cake was very sticky, and An Bai's voice was loud and anxious, which made Mu Qingtian choke with fright.

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Mu Qingtian's neck was almost red from coughing, but the rice cake was still stuck in his throat and couldn't get out.He clutched his neck in pain and tried hard to breathe, but it was all in vain.

An Bai didn't expect his voice to be so powerful, so he hurried over to help.Before his hand touched Mu Qingtian, it was opened by Zhu Jingshou who was full of frost.

"My lord, my lord..." An Bai stepped back in fear.

Zhu Jingshou ignored An Bai, helped Mu Qingtian stand up straight, passed his hands under his armpits, and made a fist two inches above his navel with one hand, and kept rushing forward.

"vomit--"

Not long after, Mu Qingtian spat out the rice cakes, along with the wontons he ate this morning.At the end of the vomiting, there was nothing to vomit, even the yellow acid water was vomited out.

Zhu Jingshou looked at the soup on the ground, his heart ached so much, and he didn't care about the dirt, so he carried Mu Qingtian back to his room, leaving Anbai stunned.

His Highness Prince Qing, is he such a kind person?

Mu Qingtian was lying on the bed, with his hands drooping on the edge of the bed, and said with a mournful face, "My wonton..."

Zhu Jingshou cleaned his hands beside him, he couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, he took a towel and came over to wipe Mu Qingtian's face.

"It's a pity, we've already tasted it."

Mu Qingtian was indignant.

"I kindly brought a copy back to County Magistrate An!"

Zhu Jingshou blinked and said, "Why don't you give it to him?"

"No more!"

I don't know which sentence or which action touched Zhu Selang's heart again, he put the towel on the shelf next to him, and walked slowly towards Mu Qingtian.

Mu Huhu instinctively sensed the danger, hugged the quilt tightly and rolled into the bed.

Zhu Jingshou chuckled: "So Qingqing can't wait."

He put down the bed curtain, opened his arms and completely blocked Mu Qingtian's escape route.

"At first I wanted to let Qingqing digest, but now it's just right."

"Beast!! Let go!"

The two people here are happy, while An Bai is sitting on pins and needles over there, so he has to go to the door of Mu Qingtian's room to plead guilty.What kind of ability does Mu Qingtian have to win the favor of the prince, and it also attracted Mr. Wang's special attention.

The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, and wanted to see how Mu Qingtian would solve the "silkworm god murder" case.

Mu Qingtian was tossed and tossed by Zhu Jingshou, and then fell asleep directly, and only woke up at noon—waking up to the smell.

With a smile, Zhu Jingshou took a plate of roast chicken and put it under Mu Qingtian's nose, and kept fanning it maliciously.

Hmm, Mu Qingtian's nose twitched.

The shameless King Qing continued his efforts, tearing off a small piece of skinned flesh with his teeth, and slowly brought it to Mu Qingtian's mouth.

Mu Qingtian rubbed his eyes and sat up, looked at Zhu Jingshou who seemed to be sad sitting on the edge of the bed, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Why are you covering your mouth?"

"It's okay." Zhu Jingshou almost squeezed out the words through his teeth.

Self-inflicted evil, can not live.It's not that he doesn't know how good Mu Qingtian's teeth are, isn't the lesson from biting his tongue last time not enough! !

"Huh? Why does my mouth smell like roast chicken?" Mu Qingtian pouted, then his face changed, and he poohed several times.

"Is this roast chicken undercooked! It still smells like blood!!!"

Zhu Jing couldn't hold his breath, the hungry wolf went down the mountain, threw Mu Qingtian down and kissed his lips hard.Pain and happiness.

Mu Qingtian, who later learned the truth of the matter, sneered at His Royal Highness King Qing.

After lunch, An Bai didn't dare to come over to feel uncomfortable, thinking that Mu Qingtian would also want to investigate the case, holding the county annals and preparing to go to the study to continue editing, but when he passed by the lobby, he heard someone calling him.

"Hey! Magistrate An! Is the official who found the human leg still there?"

An Bai turned his head in surprise, and stared at Mu Qingtian in shock.

... As for?

Zhu Jingshou's possessiveness is getting stronger and stronger. He used to be able to bear Mu Qingtian's contact with others, but now he can't even stand others looking at Mu Qingtian.

He walked in front of An Bai calmly, blocked Mu Qingtian behind him, and looked down at An Bai condescendingly.

An Bai met Zhu Jingshou's cold gaze, and quickly lowered his head in fright, and said, "Yes, yes, still, do you want to interrogate now?"

Mu Qingtian probed from behind, he probed to the left, Zhu Jingshou followed and stepped to the left, so angry that he poked Zhu Jingshou's tailbone hard with his fingers.

"Turn around." Zhu Jingshou suddenly said seriously.

"Yes." Seeing that King Qing had been looking at him, An Bai was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around, thinking that there was something important.

Who knew that Zhu Jingshou took the opportunity to fish Mu Qingtian over, whispered in his ear, "If you poke again, you will be executed on the spot."

"Okay, turn around."

An Bai turned back tremblingly.Um?Is it too hot? Why is Master Mu's face so red?

"Yes, I would like to ask him about his situation that day."

"Yes." An Bai was very excited, "Your Majesty, go and call someone over now, and ask the prince and your lord to stay in the lobby for a while."

He strode towards the office of Li Dian, and vaguely heard what the two behind him were talking about.

"Obviously I was the one talking, but they insisted on adding 'Prince' to the front..."

"Then...you want to..."

An Bai rubbed his ears.

It must be because I have been too tired recently, and I have auditory hallucinations.

The Li Dian who discovered the human leg made a great contribution, and was promoted to the head of the Li Dian not long ago. Unlike ordinary Li Dian, he still needs to patrol the city, so he was easy to find.

"Who is in the hall?" Mu Qingtian changed into the uniform of the imperial envoy and slapped the gavel.

"Responding to my lord, Chen Feng, a grassroots man, is the chief official of the Anji county government."

Because there is no grade below the main book, Chen Feng can only call himself a grassroots.

Mu Qingtian saw that this person had straight eyebrows, awe-inspiring uprightness, and neither humble nor overbearing words, and he immediately liked him.He nodded and said, "Get up."

"Thank you sir."

Although Chen Feng looks big and thick and has a beard, but in fact he has a delicate heart, he is meticulous in doing things, and he is as careful as a hair.Because of this, he could see the clues of the cabin from the waterline.

"This officer wants to know the situation before and after the ship where the human leg was found that day. You must come truthfully."

"Yes."

At that time, he was still an ordinary official, responsible for dispatching and inspecting merchant ships passing through the wharf.

The weather was good that day. It rained a little the night before, but in the morning it was clear and cloudless.There was water vapor on the river, Chen Feng estimated the water level, determined the size of the boats allowed to launch today, and posted it on the bulletin board.

The county government has strict management on the wharf, and daily departure and return must be carried out within the specified time.In summer, Maozheng sails, and Youzheng anchors; in winter, it sails at the beginning of Chenchu, and Shenmo anchors.No matter what season it is, the officials on duty at the wharf must set up their positions half an hour in advance, measure the water level and make a ship schedule.

If a merchant ship needs to deliver goods outside the scheduled time, it must report to the government.In addition, the specifications and cargo of the ships that come and go every day are recorded in the hands of the officials.

Not long after Maozheng set sail, three servants from the Wu Mansion came.

Ordinary small households do not have boats, so they either lease the boats from the government or rent the boats from the boatmen at the wharf.Although these ships have to pay, there is no restriction on navigation, and they will never violate the rules.

The Wu family is a big family in Anji County and owns its own cargo ship.They also have a good relationship with the government, so they always park their boats near the government ships to prevent them from being stolen by bad guys.

When Chen Feng saw his old acquaintances, he said hello to the Wu family's family members, and asked them to set sail after going through the registration process.

This time, the Wu family was going to the other side to buy mulberry leaves. The amount was not small, and they bought the largest amount directly.

Time passed slowly, and the water vapor that was supposed to dissipate after the sun rose did not dissipate, but gradually gathered and thickened, completely covering the situation on the river.

Chen Feng encountered this kind of situation before, and quickly ran out of the thatched cottage, put up a "heavy fog" sign, and limited the number of ships sailing.

Some people will say that Anji County has formulated so many rules without considering the situation of merchants at all.

It would be a big mistake to think this way, the rules were formulated precisely to protect merchants.At first, there was no dock in Anji County, and each family could transport as much as they wanted. At the busiest time, there were nearly [-] boats on the river!

Collisions with boats happened frequently, and the people on board basically couldn't swim back to the shore after falling into the water, and all of them were buried at the bottom of the river.

After An Bai became the magistrate of Anji County, he ordered the construction of the wharf.Since then, there have been no incidents of ship wrecks and fatalities due to collisions.

About an hour after the sign was hung, Chen Feng looked at the hourglass and found that almost two hours had passed since the Wu family's ship set sail.Logically, they should have returned half an hour ago, and now they have returned to the pier safely.

He looked worriedly at the thick fog on the river, hoping that nothing would happen.

Another stick of incense time passed, and the three of the Wu family hadn't come back yet.Just in case, Chen Feng put on his coir raincoat, boarded a boat specially used for officials and went up the river.The fog was too heavy, and he could only judge a rough orientation.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to vaguely see a shaky black spot coming towards him in the distance.

Chen Feng speeded up his paddling, but the closer he got, the more he felt something was wrong.The water ring from outside is too small, as if pressed by a heavy ship.

The guards didn't expect Chen Feng to row over, and before he could speak, one of them apologized.

"My lord, I'm sorry, we were really delayed on the road, please bear with me."

Chen Feng slowly turned the bow of his own boat, and went side by side with Wu's boat.He frowned and compared the waterlines of the two boats, and found that there was indeed something wrong with Wu's boat.

He didn't say anything, but asked insincerely, "Have you bought the mulberry leaves?"

"That's right, I went to several stores to buy them all." The servant picked up his jacket and fanned it.

Chen Feng said with a smile: "Master Wu is a very kind person. I think the mulberry farmers will give more if they sell mulberry leaves."

"Hey, my master said that we can't take advantage of Sang Nong, we must let us buy it at the original price."

The servant sitting close to the cabin kept silent, just looking at the river.

Chen Feng put away his smile when he heard the words, and said sternly, "If that's the case, why do your ships have such a deep draft!"

The three servants were taken aback. They were chatting just now, why did they suddenly change their faces?

Chen Feng pointed to their boat and said: "The government expressly stipulates that the draft of a boat must not exceed the line drawn."

"You are so brave!"

The servants panicked, and all knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that they definitely did not intend to violate the rules.

"My lord!" The servant who spoke first raised his head, "Let me tell you the truth, our delay today is also related to this matter."

It turned out that when they were halfway back to the voyage, a golden carp suddenly jumped out of the lake and landed on their boat.The carp was so huge that it was as long as a human arm!

The face of the servant who had been silent all this time changed suddenly, and he slapped the chatty servant severely.

They didn't expect to encounter such a good thing, it was a stroke of luck.One of them suggested waiting where they were, to see if they could catch a few more, so that they could have a good meal.

The other two were persuaded, so they parked the boat in the middle of the river and kept hitting the water with their oars to attract the carp.

How could they tell Chen Feng the truth at the very beginning.It's just that now I really can't hide it anymore, so I said it.

Chen Feng frowned, apparently not believing the servant's words.

How much can a carp weigh, or is it a golden fish?I'm afraid it wasn't a story they made up to escape the punishment of the government!

In order to confirm the truth of the matter, Chen Feng insisted on boarding the boat to check.

The cabin was indeed full of mulberry leaves, and there was a carp of incomparable size lying on the mulberry leaves.Seeing that there was no abnormality, Chen Feng was about to back out when he suddenly found a little blood on the gap in Class A.

He went into the cabin to check the carp and found that there was no wound on the fish.The Wu family's boat is not a fishing boat, so there will definitely not be bloodstains.Since it does not belong to the fish, nor does it belong to the servant, then...

Chen Feng opened the first class of the cabin, and a rotten smell came to his face - human legs! !

"You mean, the human legs are hidden under the deck?" Mu Qingtian asked.

"Yes." Chen Feng affirmed, "It was through the bloodstains that the grass people judged that there was something under the deck, so they found that human leg."

"After the ship docked, the lower officials also sent people to check, and found inconspicuous bloodstains from the bow to the deck." An Bai added, "Some of them have been washed away by the river, so they can't be seen clearly."

Mu Qingtian fell into thought.

The discovery of human legs below decks suggests that this is definitely not a coincidence.The murderer deliberately wanted to hide the human leg, so he pried open the deck and hid it in a place that ordinary people would not check.

But why did he go to the trouble of cutting off the legs of the corpse?

"My lord, this is the record book for that day." An Bai presented the booklet written by Chen Feng, but Zhu Jingshou stopped it before it was sent to Mu Qingtian.

"Chen Feng." Mu Qingtian didn't look at the roster first, "Did the members of the Wu family tell you why they came to buy mulberry leaves?"

"That's not true. They only said they were going to buy mulberry leaves." Chen Feng apologized.

"Okay." Mu Qingtian was not surprised, and after Zhu Jingshou finished flipping through the booklet, he took it over and opened it for a look.

"My lord." An Bai said in a timely manner, "The reason why the servant went to buy mulberry leaves, the lower official knows."

Mu Qingtian was a little surprised and said, "You know?"

An Bai had interrogated Wu Can in advance and obtained a lot of information, but none of them could be connected.It's not that he is incompetent, at least he has already asked all the questions that should be asked, saving Mu Qingtian a lot of time.

"Wu Can said that there are too many silkworms in the house and the supply of mulberry leaves is insufficient."

"And 'Silkworm God Kills' also started from here."

Some servants testified for Wu Can, because there were too many silkworms in the Wu family, and the mulberry leaves could not keep up, so Wu Can ordered the servants of the silkworm farm to secretly process more than a dozen baskets of silkworms to reduce the demand for mulberry leaves. .

"But after processing, there were still not enough mulberry leaves, so Wu Can sent people to the other side to buy mulberry leaves."

"The common people believe in the Canhua Empress, so they feel that Wu Can kills the silkworm and brought retribution." An Bai said cautiously.

Mu Qingtian couldn't help laughing out loud.

This murderer, I'm afraid that he hasn't done enough, afraid that others will not know that he is a murderer.

Now he also understands the reason for killing and dismembering the body.

"Why are you laughing, my lord?" An Bai and Chen Feng were both at a loss.

"It's nothing, I just think that the murderer is a little clever."

An Bai stood up abruptly, stared at Mu Qingtian firmly, and said word by word: "Does your lord know who the murderer is?"

Impossible, he didn't know who the murderer was after more than a month of investigation, how could Mu Qingtian judge the murderer after listening to Chen Feng and him!

"Almost." Mu Qingtian didn't finish his sentence, "I still need evidence."

evidence?An Bai almost showed disdain on his face.

After going on for a long time, Mu Qingtian was completely imagining, without even evidence, can he conclude that a person is the murderer?It's too child's play!

"Okay, the official has already understood the specific situation, so I will withdraw."

Chen Feng respectfully saluted Mu Qingtian and Zhu Jingshou, and left the lobby first.An Bai wanted to say something more, but because of Zhu Jingshou's presence, he couldn't say anything in the end, so he could only leave angrily.

How could the imperial court send such an idiot to investigate such a serious case!

In the next few days, Mu Qingtian returned to the state of eating, drinking and having fun, and did not mention the three servants in the prison for interrogation, and hung out with Zhu Jingshou all day long.

Zhu Jingshou didn't figure out who the murderer was, he asked once, but Mu Qingtian was so mysterious that he didn't want to tell him.Seeing Mu Qingtian's confident appearance, Zhu Jingshou let him go.He has experienced the intelligence of his own princess, so he must not underestimate it.

In the evening, Xiao San brought a lot of news.

The author has something to say: Cough, an hour ahead is also ahead of time! (Unreasonable and strong)

If you are interested, you can learn more about Silkworm God Killing, and then guess who the murderer is after my adaptation.

small theater:

Mu Qingtian: How did you buy so many carrots?

Zhu Jingshou: Grind your teeth.

Mu Qingtian:?I am not a rabbit.

Zhu Jingshou: Then why are your teeth so sharp?
