Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

Taking into account the feelings of Ning Daren and his wife, Xiao Beicheng ordered Wen Chu to take Wu Zuo to the backyard to open the coffin for an autopsy.Ning Daren was always worried that his eldest son was the murderer of Ning Yuanbao, so he was restless. Even with King Jin's deduction, he was still fidgeting and kept pacing in front of the court.

Watching him go around and around, Steward Liu felt a little dizzy, took the tandoor for making tea from the charcoal fire, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, what are your plans?"

"This king knows that even if you do an autopsy, you won't be able to find out the results. What you are looking for is an answer."

Hearing this, people were confused, including Wen Chu, they could only bite the bullet and wait.

After more than half an hour, the people from the government office finally came to send a message, and they whispered something in Xiao Beicheng's ear.

"Is that so?"

These words made Ning Daren a little flustered, he stepped forward quickly, squeezed his eyes, licked his dry lips, speechless.

Xiao Beicheng put down the teacup and motioned for Ning Daren to sit down, but the latter stood up as soon as his ass touched the mat, the man was a little dissatisfied, "Is there any nails on the stool? You can sit if you are told to sit , what are you talking about?"

"My lord, my lord, I... am still afraid."

"You shouldn't be afraid, you should reflect on yourself, why didn't you have to confirm the child's life and death, and asked someone to be buried in a hurry."

Now Ning Daren's legs went limp, and he almost slumped on the chair, his hands were trembling and he wanted to grab Xiao Beicheng's hand, but the man cleverly dodged it.

"My lord, what do you mean..."

"Just now people from the government office came to report that Ning Yuanbao's body showed no signs of corruption, so it can be seen..."

"Isn't Yuan Bao dead? My lord, is Yuan Bao still alive!!"

Xiao Beicheng swallowed the curse that was already on his lips, slapped the table angrily, and finally made Ning Daren shut up. In order not to irritate the bereaved parents, he restrained his emotions and did not attack.

"Ning Yuanbao is indeed dead. When he opened the coffin, he was lying inside with a grim face. The silk lining was torn. His fingernails were broken, and the blood had dried up. His eyes were wide open, and his lips were purple. , died of suffocation."

Speaking of this, he paused, to give Ning Daren time to accept the reality.

"The body showed no signs of decay because he had breathed in it, exhausting the air in the coffin, enough to show that he was alive after being placed in the coffin, and woke up and tried to struggle without being noticed His reaction ultimately led to tragedy."

Ning Daren's eyes were lost when he heard the words, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't say a word.

Steward Liu and Wen Chu were also silent after hearing this, not knowing whether they should pity the child who had suffered an accident or condemn the confused parents.

After a while, Ning Daren finally came back to his senses, he roared and beat the table, and after being stopped, he tore his clothes hysterically, pushed everyone away indiscriminately, threw himself on the ground and kicked the things around him, causing him to be covered in dust. crazy.

He screamed in a different tone, until his voice was hoarse and he had no more strength to vent, and finally cried out, hitting his head heavily on the ground, regretting that he wanted to die.

"Stop him."

Xiao Beicheng also felt sad for Ning Yuanbao's death, and hated his parents who killed him because of ignorance, but when he saw Ning Daren who was in pain, his heart softened.

How can there be parents who want to kill their own children? No wonder Ning Yuanbao or Ning Daren and his wife are responsible for such a tragedy. The most unforgivable thing is the behind-the-scenes pushers.

Steward Liu sighed, shook his head helplessly, and wanted to pour out the grief and anger in his heart with weak tea, but his trembling hands couldn't even hold the cup, and with a crisp sound, the warm soup was spilled all over the table.

"My lord, why did you tell him the truth? At his age, after experiencing the pain of bereavement, he has to accept the despair that he killed his son himself. He is very pitiful..."

"Ning Daren is very pitiful, but what about Ning Yuanbao? After the catastrophe, Yusheng suddenly woke up, but was sealed in a dark and narrow space where he couldn't see his fingers. He struggled, cried, and slapped the coffin for help, but no one found him. Still alive, finally running out of air, suffocating desperately in panic... He is only seven years old, and he has encountered such a thing at such a young age, isn't he pitiful?"

Saying so, Xiao Beicheng got up and stood in front of Ning Daren who was crying hoarsely, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "People have to pay the price for their mistakes, blindly pampering is just reaping the consequences and hurting an innocent person." In life, we should learn from the pain and reflect on ourselves.”

"My lord..."

"If you could have believed in Ning Yinding, you would not have buried Ning Yuanbao early in order to hide the so-called evidence. Perhaps after waiting a day, half a day, or even a few hours, he would wake up. Ning Yuanbao is innocent. It's not like Ning Yinding, born in Ning's family is their luck, but it's also the greatest misfortune. Foolishness hurts people..."

Xiao Beicheng closed his eyes and sighed, unwilling to stay any longer, he turned and left.

Before leaving, he looked back at the plaque with the word "Ningfu" written on it, feeling quite touched in his heart.

"From now on, this 'An Ning' will never have anything to do with the Ning family."

He walked slowly towards the posthouse, and Steward Liu followed up, and asked in a muffled voice, "My lord, is this case closed?"

"Not yet. There are still doubts about Ning Yuanbao's sudden onset of illness while swimming in the lake. This king thinks that he was caused by taking medicine, but it's hard to make a conclusion since we haven't caught the fox tail who is behind the scenes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Chu stopped the two of them, and ran up out of breath, bent over and supported his knees, panting heavily, "Oh, my lord, you are walking too fast. Listen. There are already some clues about what you asked the subordinate officials to investigate before."

As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of paper that still had body heat from his arms, and handed them to Xiao Beicheng.

"About the female corpse in the deserted house, the lower officials have found three most likely persons. The difficulty is in confirming the identity, and I ask the prince to make a decision."

On the paper he handed over, three portraits were drawn respectively, and the identity and appearance characteristics were marked in small characters below.The paper pages were a little dirty, and some were damaged. It looked like a missing person notice peeled off the notice board.

"It's a pity that the deceased's face was beyond recognition, and he couldn't tell what he looked like, otherwise he would have been able to tell a thing or two from the portrait." Wen Chu wiped his sweat, and explained to others: "These three women have similar looks, and Wu Zuo also I can't see a way to do it, so I can only infer it from his identity. The first person is the daughter of Liu Yuan's family in the east of the city. Because he didn't follow the marriage given by his parents, he left home two months ago. Now there is no news, Liu Yuanwai has already reported to the officials, the servants and the government office are all helping to find the person, but they have not been found..."

"next."

"Hey? I haven't finished talking about this, the prince won't look at it anymore?"

Xiao Beicheng rolled his eyes, and pushed away Wen Chu, whose eyes were getting closer and closer, "Before I arrived in Jiangling, I met her when I was having tea in a nearby town. She is alive and well. Nonsense."

"Well, look at the second one, my lord. She is a nun who is practicing with hair in Changle Nunnery. I heard that she is good at using short swords and has excellent martial arts. It should not be her. Wu Zuo said that the deceased had no external injuries. It's so powerful, it's unlikely to be killed by others. If the lower officials are this group of criminals, they must look for those women who look weak and weak."

"You're right, and the autopsy results submitted by Wu Zuo didn't say that the deceased had obvious calluses on his hands. Perhaps he couldn't stand the clear rules of Buddhism and went out to wander the rivers and lakes."

"Then it might be the third one, the girl who played the pipa in the Chu Pavilion. No one reported her disappearance earlier, and the government didn't know about it. In the past half a month, a maiko who has a good relationship with her Only then did I find the government, saying that my good sister hadn’t appeared for a long time.”

"Is it missing for a long time but no one cares about it?"

"That's right, my lord, the clerk who was working below specifically asked her why it took so long to report to the official. The maiko said that the pipa girl fell in love with a distinguished guest who came to the Chu Pavilion to listen to the music at first sight before she disappeared, so she eloped with her. She was the only one who knew about it, and she didn't dare to reveal the secret. After a while, when the agreed time came, she didn't receive a reply from Pipa Girl, so she felt something was wrong."

Xiao Beicheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Steward Liu, "Yu Qing, how do you play the pipa."

The man made a gesture of holding the pipa, stroking the strings with his left hand and plucking the strings with his right hand.

"It is plucked by sticking the polished tortoiseshell shell on the nail."

"It didn't damage my nails, so there was no evidence on the body to prove that she was a Pipa girl. This king thinks that we can investigate from the direction that the deceased is a Pipa girl, and ask more details from the maiko. We also need to find the man who eloped with her, which is very likely to be an opportunity for us to find this criminal gang. Using the yin marriage as a lead... I have done something outrageous, and I am really not afraid of ghosts calling at the door in the middle of the night."

Wen Chu obeyed his orders, and after the person left, Steward Liu suddenly remembered something, and reminded him: "My lord, do you still remember the last case you solved three years ago when you were a young minister?"

"You mean the murder of a famous actress?"

"Exactly. At that time, Mr. found out that the deceased Lin Muqi was related to the robbery case. He seemed to want to say something to you, but you were upset at the time, so you refused, and Mr. suppressed the words. Thinking about it now, no matter what Gusu tomb robbing gang, or this group of desperadoes who made their fortunes through shady marriages, who do not hesitate to kill people, all they do is business related to the dead, so there is no relationship between them..."

After hearing this, Xiao Beicheng stopped in his tracks.

He had never connected the two cases before. Thinking about it carefully, there is one more thing in common between the two cases, that is, they both involved Jun Ziyou. It is hard to believe that it is a coincidence.

So what role does Jun Ziyou play in the robbery case and the yin marriage case?

"Yu Qing, if the person behind the scenes is not seeking the gold and silver treasures sealed in the mausoleum, but for another purpose... What do you think it will be?"

"This is a big matter, and I dare not speak out of my feelings."

"Hearing what you said, I know that you and this king are planning to go together."

They have been misled, they have been in the illusion of calm without knowing it, and they have completely forgotten that Junziyou has another identity.

...It is the guilty minister, or the son of Lin Xici, the remnant of the previous dynasty, Lin Fengchi.
