Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

The efficiency of Shuntian Mansion was extremely high, and Bai Jin sent the dossier to the Jun Mansion that night, explaining all the secret doubts for him along the way.

Seeing his blissful face, Jun Ziyou knew that good things were going to happen to him recently, so he exchanged some pleasantries before talking about the case, "I came to Shuntian Mansion for business before, so I didn't have time to ask about Master Bai's recent situation, how is it going?"

Bai Jin didn't hide his smile, thanked the maid who brought the fruit plate, and first toasted Junziyou with tea instead of wine, "To tell the truth, sir, I actually got a daughter three days ago, and I was happy for several days Didn't even fall asleep."

Hearing that he had such a happy event, Jun Ziyou's eyes sparkled, and before thanking him, he patted him on the back hard, "My boy, I didn't even know we were married, so you must invite me to have a drink at Lingqian's hundred-day banquet." Wedding wine."

"Naturally. In fact, I have been married for almost three years. The eldest son of the family will run all over the street. The second child is a girl, but I am so happy. Not to mention both children, the eldest son will also protect the younger sister in the future, so there is no need to worry about the younger sister. It's a happy event for my daughter to be bullied and wronged outside." But soon Bai Jin remembered Jun Ziyou's experience, and was afraid that he was destined to have no heirs. On the outside, my husband and I are brothers and sisters, my child belongs to him, if you like it, tomorrow I will ask my wife to bring the eldest and second child to give you a treat."

"Farewell, I can't bear it in such a cold day, children are more likely to get sick, I should take time to visit your house. Closer to home, about the mysterious coffin case..."

"It's strange, sir, a little girl was mixed into the coffins of this group of old men. She was only six or seven years old, and she was poisoned. Apart from shock, it's more embarrassing."

The gentleman shook his head, took out "Wild Things" from under the table, flipped through a few pages, and pushed it in front of Bai Jin.

"This book was left by a close friend of my father. In addition to the little-known folk tales, it also records some secrets of the palace. One of the stories tells that there was a nine-year-old girl named Li Jingxun in the Sui Dynasty. , died at an early age, and her parents were distraught, so they built a magnificent tomb for her and buried her in a sarcophagus. It is inferred that her identity is the granddaughter of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. So is it possible that this little girl who died of poisoning has an unusual identity?"

"So it seems... the rest of the people, could it be..."

"On this point, I don't dare to jump to conclusions, so I would like to ask Mr. Bai to talk about the results of the autopsy on the remaining bodies."

Bai Jin dug out the file, picked out a few important pages, and handed it to Jun Ziyou, "Except for the white marble sarcophagus and the little girl's coffin that were first sent to the capital, the rest are all made of wood. The water-proof and moisture-proof effect of the bottom is much worse, and the remains are only completely preserved. Among them, the wooden coffin sent to the capital immediately after the white marble sarcophagus has shown signs of decay, and the remains have also decayed. Only a decayed skeleton remains. Judging by the degree of tooth wear and bone quality, it was a middle-aged man in his 60s who was not poisoned, so it is presumed that he died of natural causes."

Junziyou looked at the record of this in the dossier and the diagram drawn by Jane, and expressed doubts that were not easy to detect, "Since the body is decomposed and only the skeleton is left, it should be difficult to determine the real cause of death. It is only the skeleton. There were no traces of internal and external injuries or poisoning on the body, so it would be rash to conclude that it was a natural death."

As he spoke, he turned to the next page and saw a small character marked by Wu, "It turns out that the leg bones of the corpse are much thinner than those of a normal-shaped person. From this, it can be speculated that the deceased had been bedridden for a long time and seldom walked. Did you make such an inference based on your age? In my opinion, this assistant must be young, and he is not yet sure of his own abilities."

"Sir, you are right. In fact, the Ministry of Criminal Justice sent less than [-] officers this time. They are still children. They have been learning the way of inspection from Ye Shangshu's confidant. It’s troublesome, so I pushed him.”

Jun Ziyou rubbed the pages of the dossier, his fingertips skimmed over every word, and he felt a little curiosity and interest in this young man with good handwriting. The next day, he sent Lu Chuan to the Ministry of Punishment to invite I invited this young man named Xia Cha, and prepared tea and fruit snacks to invite people to enjoy the scenery together.

Xia Cha seemed a little at a loss, as if she had never seen such a scene before, she wanted to decline politely at first, but she couldn't stand Lu Chuan's soft and hard paws and Bai Jin's persuasion, even though she was completely unwilling in her heart, she still bit the bullet and went .

Fortunately, a gentleman is easy to approach, not as difficult to get along with as he thought, and he is not as arrogant and domineering as a favored person, which made Xia Cha feel relieved.

The place where Junziyou invites people to enjoy the scenery is his own back garden. Although it is not as grand as Prince Jin’s Mansion, although the sparrow is small and complete, the rockery and flower ponds are all taken care of by him himself. Even in the cold winter months, there is no charm. .

When the summer tea arrived, Jun Ziyou was setting a pot of clear snow on the clay stove to boil water. He sat barefoot under the porch, with the frozen flower pond under his feet. Half of them are suspended above the water in the form of stilts. It must be a unique style to enjoy the cool and beautiful scenery here in summer.

Seeing him coming, Jun Ziyou warmly invited him to sit next to him, pushed his favorite dried apricot towards him, and poured him another cup of tea.

Xia Cha's face was blushing, and she didn't dare to accept his kindness easily, for fear of losing the etiquette of being a guest, and for fear that her refusal would appear ignorant and annoying.

Seeing him, Jun Ziyou seemed to see himself when he first met King Jin. He pulled a blanket to cover his legs and said with a smile, "Don't be cautious. I'm different from those old men who fight each other in the officialdom. As long as there are more rules, it’s good to speak freely.”

"But you... used to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

"You also said it was in the past, now I'm just an idler, just helping Shuntian Mansion, don't take me too seriously."

After he said this, Xia Cha gradually let go of his vigilance, and drank his tea as a reward, "You... You must have come to me because of that case."

"That's right. Master Bai came to my house yesterday to explain the case. Since his wife gave birth not long ago, and he couldn't be left alone to take care of him, I asked him to go back earlier. But after reading the file, I still have a few questions in my mind. It’s not good to trouble him again, so I invite you to drink tea.”

Xia Cha lowered her head, "I... I'm just a gangster, and I don't understand the case..."

"No, the key to the case lies in the results of your autopsy. I studied the file yesterday, and found that the condition of the fourth body has a lot to say." As he spoke, he took out the file and approached Xia Cha, ordering the queen The reader became even more apprehensive, and stepped back.

Jun Ziyou pulled the man closer, wishing he could tie him up with a hemp rope, "Don't be shy, little beauty..."

This sentence made Xia Cha panic, so that he didn't even listen to half a word of what he said next, and it was Jun Ziyou who patted him again before he recovered.

"First, sir!"

"I'm so preoccupied because I want someone's girl to go, no matter what, let me tell you again. The male body in the second wooden coffin can basically be confirmed to have died of natural causes. The neck bone of the third male body was broken, and the skin and flesh have rotted." , It was preliminarily determined to be a homicide, and he was killed by twisting his neck. And this fourth one is interesting, although it was buried in a single coffin of the same specification, but it contained the remains of two men."

Xia Cha is an introverted young man, but when he mentioned work, he soon perked up, without stammering or hesitating, and nodded vigorously, "Mr. is right, I did eat when I saw the situation in the coffin." I was surprised, because an inner coffin of this shape can usually only accommodate one person lying on its back, if another person is to be squeezed in, it will have to be pressed on No.1's body."

I don't know where Xia Cha got the courage to grab Jun Ziyou's hand, sticking his whole body to him, and regardless of his status, he just hugged that person, making him stiff.

"However, these two people were buried hugging each other like this, lying face to face in the coffin together, and when the coffin was opened, their remains were very well preserved, their faces were lifelike, and their skin elasticity was still there, as if they were asleep .”

After he finished speaking, he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and hurriedly pushed Jun Ziyou away.

The force lost its weight for a while, and Jun Ziyou was pushed out by him, and fell on the cold wooden floor, his old waist hurt from the knock.

"First, sir, are you okay!"

Jun Ziyou is also a sentimental person, he can't get up when he lies down, turns over, and yawns lazily, "So, two of the remains are male?"

Xia Cha bit her lip and nodded, and looked at Jun Ziyou timidly, to be precise, one step behind him, looking a little flustered.

The man thought he was too nervous, and stuffed a dried apricot into his mouth, "Have you found out the cause of death?"

"The two remains are well preserved. One of the deceased is as thin as a stick, with a sallow complexion and dry and dull hair. It is obvious that he has been ill for a long time and should have died of illness. The other deceased has no external injuries and does not seem to be seriously ill. , I can only speculate from his slightly purple face that he died of suffocation, so..."

Having said that, Xia Cha stopped talking, and backed away anxiously. Such a reaction revived the gentleman, and sat up in a jerk, pulling him to ask: "So what? You want to say that he was imprisoned?" Was he suffocated to death in the coffin, right? He was a martyr and killed by others, right?"

Xia Cha was too frightened to speak, but kept silent.

But at this time, a pair of hands came out from behind, wrapped around Junziyou's waist, and hugged him in his arms, "Where is the reason why someone is locked in the coffin of the owner of the tomb? If you were buried alive, how would you treat him?" Is the culprit who killed himself so affectionate?"

Xiao Beicheng, who came uninvited, wrapped him in his arms, rubbed his cold hands, and warmed his palms.

Jun Ziyou knew that what he said was right.

Only lovers with deep affection voluntarily can be buried together after death.

Until death, I would like to hold you to sleep and accompany you through the long years of loneliness and silence.

Affectionate in this life, will live up to the afterlife.
