Master Yu said meaningfully: "It doesn't have to be a pervert, and it doesn't necessarily mean that he wants to expose his corpse."
"What is that for?"
"I want people to find this corpse." Lord Yu asked people to measure these footprints carefully, and then checked the surrounding area, then measured the snow pit, and rummaged through it before giving up.
He didn't find anything, but he measured the thickness of the snow, beckoned the five people standing beside him, and asked with a smile, "Look at how thick the snow is, it hasn't melted since the beginning of winter." ?”
A middle-aged man looked down and said, "This is a shady place. It is backed by the sun, and it can melt a little under the sun. This place is difficult. It will probably not melt until the temperature rises in spring."
Master Yu asked: "How many times has it snowed this month?"
"Four games, it only fell for more than an hour last night. In fact, it didn't take long. The last snow was heavy. It first fell for most of the day, and then it fell all night, crushing several houses in the village. What about the house?"
Magistrate Luo came up and coughed twice, those people immediately lowered their heads and dared not speak.
County Magistrate Luo squeezed a smile and said to Master Yu: "Master Yu, this year is not good, and the lower officials have already written a letter to report the snow disaster."
Master Yu nodded with a smile, instead of pulling the five people to question, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go back to the county government office to sign and post, and let your chief come and take you back."
Seeing that the five people became nervous, Lord Yu smiled and said: "This matter has nothing to do with you, but because you are the ones who discovered the corpse, you need to sign and sign. If we have other questions to ask later, we will come to you of."
After Master Yu finished speaking, someone took the five of them back to the yamen and waited for the head of the yamen to collect them.
The county magistrate Luo couldn't help saying: "Master Yu, their village is not far from Luoyang City, why bother to ask their chief to go there again, if there is any problem after that, just ask someone to go to the village to call someone, they dare not refuse Come."
Master Yu laughed and said, "It's better to follow the procedure, they always have to sign the confession."
But the confession has been recorded on the spot, so you can sign it now.
County Magistrate Luo was reluctant to have Lord Yu contact the local village head, but Lord Yu had already turned around and asked for the body and five witnesses to be taken back to the county government office.
Master Yu got into the carriage, exhaled, and whispered to the clerk, "This person is not capable enough."
The clerk laughed and said, "I checked his evaluation before the official came. The year before last, he was inferior, but last year he was average. It can be seen that he is still acceptable."
Master Yu snorted softly, then sat up straight instantly, "You just said what was his evaluation the year before last?"
"inferior."
Master Yu frowned, "Luoyang County is an upper county, where there are fertile fields, rich merchants, spacious streets, and many shops. It is one of the most important cities in the Central Plains. Don't worry about population growth. Natural disasters can basically be resisted. How did he do it?" Got an inferior rating?"
The clerk didn't know. He thought at the time that since he was going to Luoyang to investigate the case, he would search the information of the Luoyang county magistrate. When he went to the Ministry of Officials to check, he saw a low and a medium. As for the reason...
The clerk seriously recalled it, and said uncertainly: "There seems to be a drought in Luoyang the year before last?"
"It's just a minor drought, it's not a major drought." Daren Yu said, "I have to go to the Governor's Mansion in Luozhou when I go back."
"Isn't Governor He already seriously ill and just waiting for the new officials to take over?"
"He became seriously ill this year, do you still remember what happened last year and the year before?"
Speaking of this matter, Master Yu became angry, and Inspector He resigned in May, but the court has not yet found anyone to succeed Luozhou Inspector.
It's all the fault of Prince Gong, with him standing in the way, even though Luozhou is Shangzhou, everyone doesn't like to come here to take office.
I was afraid that I would accidentally become the second former governor of Yizhou.
No one knows if the now quiet King Gong really gave up, if not, he secretly imitated King Yizhou to plan a rebellion, how about it
At that time, it will be the fate of the former governor to join forces with others, and it will be Bai Qi's fate to join forces with others.
Master Yu shook his head, got rid of all these messy things in his mind, followed the car that pulled the corpse back to the county office, and went to see Wu Zuo for an autopsy first.
He said to Wu: "Look at the back of his neck, is there any blow wound?"
Wu Zuo stripped the person clean and turned it over, shaking his head and said: "No, but there are bruises on the wrists, dragging injuries on the rear feet and the back of the calf, it should be caused by being dragged before he died."
"Then look at the head."
Wu Zuo went to check his head, and said after a while: "There is an injury."
Master Yu stepped forward to look, Wu Zuo said: "It's a blow wound, but it's not fatal, right?"
"Can it make people unconscious?"
"It's okay," Wu Zuo glanced at the red corpse spots on his body, and said, "Did he freeze to death after being knocked out and thrown on the road?"
"No, he was knocked unconscious and thrown into a snowdrift to freeze to death."
Wu Zuo shuddered. In the current weather, people might freeze to death if they stayed outside overnight, not to mention throwing them in snowdrifts. If they didn’t freeze to death, they might suffocate to death.
"He has been buried in a foot of snow, count how long he has been dead."
"yes."
Master Yu went out, but he didn't stay in the county office, but left a guard behind and said: "Look around, see if there is Li Zheng coming to lead them, and check whether their identities are correct."
Then he left, he went back to find Master Xia who was still settling accounts, and said to him: "We have to visit Governor He."
Master Xia frowned and said: "Although Governor He is still holding the job of Governor, he has already ignored the affairs. Didn't we just meet the chief history of the Governor's Mansion yesterday?"
Master Yu said: "We are visiting a doctor this time."
Believe in him to be a ghost, but Master Xia still got up.
Imperial Physician Lu also stood up, and he quietly said: "Visiting the sick, is there anyone more suitable than our imperial physician?"
Imperial Physician Xiao Tan also said: "Prefect He is ill, His Majesty sent Imperial Physician Shi to visit twice, we have his pulse case in our imperial hospital."
Master Yu sympathized with them after reading the account books for a long time, nodded and said: "All right, let's go together."
Governor He was dying of illness, and he wanted to go back to his hometown, but the emperor couldn't find someone to replace him, so he could only hold on to this breath to survive.
But he has been bedridden for a long time, and the affairs of the governor's mansion are basically handed over to Chang Shi.
The servants of the He family brought the four of them into the main courtyard. If it weren't for the two imperial physicians accompanying them, the wife of the He family might not be willing for them to come in to see them.
With the help of Imperial Physicians Lu and Xiao Tan, Lord Yu and Lord Xia successfully met Governor He who was lying on the hospital bed.
Governor He reluctantly raised his eyelids to look at them.
Imperial Physician Lu took his pulse, and Imperial Physician Xiao Tan prescribed a prescription for him, but they were not very optimistic about his condition.
Governor He didn't pay much attention to the prescription, no one knew his condition better than him, so he didn't care about the prescription at all, he just asked them breathlessly, "Do you have anything to ask me?"
Although he was too sick to get out of bed, Luoyang came to an angel, and he heard the report why he came.
