The yamen sent to follow Doctor Yu yesterday quickly investigated the person and came to report Gongsun Zhuoyu at noon: "Master Yi, my subordinate followed him all the way to his place of residence yesterday, and found that he lived with a woman, only separated from him. Too far to see the face."
Gongsun Zhuoyu was lying on the table, sorting out the context of the case, and asked without raising his head, "Who is this person's last name, and where does he live, have you investigated clearly?"
The yamen sorted out a Ding Ji and presented it to him: "This person's name is Yu Shengquan, and he is twenty-five this year. He is a native of Jiangzhou. He has been working as a doctor in Jishengtang, and he is quite famous."
When Gongsun Zhuoyu heard his name, the nib of his pen paused, and he suddenly remembered the man's sweat towel embroidered with the character "Quan" in Danqiu's room, and asked thoughtfully, "Has he ever been married?"
The yamen did not know why he asked this question, but he still said honestly: "According to Ding Ji, he is not married, and he has no brothers or sisters at home, just don't know the identity of the woman who lives with him. "
When he said this, the thoughts in Gongsun Zhuoyu's mind were strung together.
Danqiu has always been ill, and has been taking medicine in Jishengtang all the year round, and Yu Shengquan is a doctor in the medical hall with good eyebrows and a clean family background. Men are unmarried and women are unmarried. If things go on like this, no one will believe anything.
Maybe she ran away from the house and hid in Yu Sheng's family because she didn't want to marry Lei Quan.
And now as long as Dan Qiu is found, the nameless male corpse will also have a look.
Gongsun Zhuoyu got up immediately and threw the brush into the pen holder at will: "Quickly gather the people and go with this official to Yu Sheng's family."
The yamen immediately took orders to do it, but who would have thought that as soon as he left the yamen, he would see a dozen or so murderous men blocking the door. There are those who wear swords, those who wear swords have it, and the blade is still stained with blood, which is really not good.
The yamen was so frightened by the cold and suppressed aura around them that his legs went weak, and he almost lost his footing. He thought to himself that the bandits on Qingfeng Mountain had killed him, and while running inside, he shouted piercingly, "Sir! Run! There are robbers coming!!!!”
Gongsun Zhuoyu was sitting in the room, and he was startled when he heard the pig-killing cry. After reacting, he was about to rush out of the room, but he didn't know what to think, and he turned back, pulled out the weapon hanging on the wall of the study with a clang, and rushed out of the study with his sword: "These thieves are so bold, they dare to kill them. Yamen, please protect the old lady, and wait until this official kills them without leaving a piece of armor!"
piece! First! Do not! Keep!
Gongsun Zhuoyu has been practicing martial arts for many years, but he has not been able to use it. Now that he heard the thieves and thieves coming, he was so excited that he caught the panic-stricken yamen and asked, "Where are the thieves?!"
The yamen shivered and pointed to the outside of the door and said, "Just at the yamen's door, there are a dozen or so strong men with fierce backs and fierce waists, full of murderous aura, and everyone has weapons and blood dripping!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu felt strange when he heard his words. The bandits on Qingfeng Mountain said that there were also a hundred or so people. Since they were bold enough to invade the county government, how could it be possible to bring only ten people
"Wait for this official to check the situation. If you dare to spread false news, you will not receive this month's salary!"
After Gongsun Zhuoyu finished speaking, he swept past the panic-stricken maids and servants, and ran to the door quickly, only to see a dozen or so strong men blocking the gate of the government office. He was about to ask, who would have thought that the leader seemed to be familiar, and after looking at it carefully, he couldn't help but say in surprise, "Master?!"
This group of people are Shi Qianqiu and others who went to Jingzhou to inquire about Lei Quan's news, followed by a series of large and small masters such as the second master, the third master and the fourth master.
Shi Qianqiu was dressed in a cloth shirt, with blood on the front of his clothes, and he looked like a robber at first glance. No wonder the yamen recognized him by mistake: "Sir!"
Shi Qianqiu turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and clasped his fists: "I'm waiting to come back from Jingzhou."
What Gongsun Zhuoyu wanted to know was that you guys came back from Jingzhou, and those who didn't know thought that you had climbed out of the pile of dead people. Just why are you dressed like this?"
There was blood on his face, clothes, and sword, and there was still a lot of blood, so we couldn't go to Jingzhou to kill chickens collectively, right
Before Shi Qianqiu could speak, the second master with the strongest physique unloaded a heavy black cloth bag from the horse's back, slammed it on the ground, shook countless smoke and dust, and said in a rough voice: "Sir Moti, it's really bad luck. , I waited to visit Jingzhou, but Lei Quan's family said that he did not return home."
Gongsun Zhuoyu asked tentatively, "Then what?"
The second master kicked the black cloth bag: "I was afraid that the adults would be in a hurry, so I took the short road on the mountain. Who would have thought that when we spent the night in the dense forest at night, this big tiger would come out to eat us, and I was in a hurry. , and killed it."
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "..."
Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't speak, he slowly lifted the hem of his robe, lay on the ground and untied the cloth bag. A strong bloody smell came from the shop, which made him almost faint. A grown-up tiger.
Oh my god, this is animal protection.
Gongsun Zhuoyu looked shocked: "Second master, you just killed it like this?"
The martial arts practiced by the second master has some origins from the Jingangmen lineage. He has a copper skin and iron bones and is full of punch. It is an exaggeration to say that he is invulnerable to swords and guns, but it is not far from the same.
The second master glanced at Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Who said I killed it alone, your master also stabbed several swords."
Shi Qianqiu folded his arms and stepped up the stone steps: "Don't worry, adults, the eyes are stabbed, and the fur is not damaged. When the time comes, you can take it off to make a jacket, make wine with tiger whip, make tiger bone medicine, and stew the tiger meat directly to eat."
Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the tiger's chest and abdomen, and the internal organs were already broken. He opened his mouth and looked at it again, but saw black blood, and said slowly, "...Why is this tiger still poisoned?"
Master San has always been crazy, and he has acquired a suit of poison in the Western Regions. Hearing the words, he stroked his long beard quite proudly: "Of course it was me, so don't eat this meat sir... If you really want to eat it, you can't do anything, after eating it. Just detox."
Shi Qianqiu has always been less talkative, and he only said four words when he heard the words: "Violent waste."
Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't know what to say anymore. The big tigers in Mizi Forest that cannibalized countless people died like this? ! He slowly got up from the ground, and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Killing a tiger wouldn't have caused the dozen or so of them to be covered in blood.
Gongsun Zhuoyu was inexplicably disturbed: "How many masters... did they only kill tigers?"
The second master was walking inside, when he heard the words, he snorted angrily: "The bandits on Qingfeng Mountain plundered on the road, but they had no eyes to recognize Mount Tai, and they snatched our head, how could we have money for him! A group of stragglers wandered bravely, Cleaned up easily."
In fact, when the bandits saw how old they were, they thought they were the kind of dad and uncle who couldn't walk on the road.
With a thud, Gongsun Zhuoyu immediately knelt down.
Shi Qianqiu quickly supported him: "Sir, what's wrong with you?!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "..."
Nothing, just a little shocked...
Gongsun Zhuoyu grabbed Shi Qianqiu's arm, barely stood up from the ground, smelled the blood on their bodies, and roughly estimated the number of deaths: "All killed?"
Shi Qianqiu said: "Kill half, run half."
Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't know if he should feel lucky for the bandits, it took him a long time to digest this shocking news. When I came back to my senses, while calling for people to carry the tiger away, I said to Shi Qianqiu and others: "It's hard work... It's hard work, all the masters are fighting tigers and thieves, go take a bath and change clothes, I ordered people to prepare food and drink, and wash the dust for everyone. "
Shi Qianqiu asked: "What about you, Sir?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Me? I'm going to collect the corpses for those bandits..."
Shi Qianqiu noticed that his mood was wrong: "The adults seem to be unhappy, except for these two major harms for the people, it is a good thing."
"It's a good thing," Gongsun Zhuoyu sighed, "Now that the three evils in Jiangzhou have eliminated the two evils, I am the only one left..."
Is this the legendary feeling of loneliness in high places
When this incident happened, Gongsun Zhuoyu could only send a team of yamen up the mountain to check the situation, and he took another team of yamen to Yu Sheng's family. This kind of battle is rarely seen in Jiangzhou, and the people are inevitably discussing in a low voice.
"What happened, why are there so many yamen?"
"I heard that a few days ago, someone found a red-clothed corpse in the ancient well in the prefectural garden. Lord Gongsun is investigating the case in order to appeal for a maid."
"It's true, I saw him go to the brothel yesterday."
"Don't worry, we ordinary people will just watch the fun."
Gongsun Zhuoyu led the people all the way to Yu Shengquan's house. The white wall is padded with blue tiles, and an apricot flower is planted in it, which is quite quiet.
The yamen received a gesture from Gongsun Zhuoyu's eyes, and he stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door: "Can Yu Sheng be at home?"
It was quiet inside, without any movement.
The yamen had to knock again: "Is Yu Sheng all at home?!"
Still nothing.
Gongsun Zhuoyu was impatient, frowning and said, "Kick it directly, if it breaks, it's yours."
Hearing this, the yamen had to bang on the door, but before his foot touched the door, the door was opened with a creak from the inside, and it was Yu Shengquan who opened the door. I saw him wearing home-made clothes, and his hair was a little messy, as if he had just woken up from a nap: "Who is it?"
The yamen said in a cold voice, "It's naturally a yamen person, why haven't they opened the door for so long?!"
At first glance, Yu Shengquan saw so many arrests with knives, he seemed a little frightened, he took a step back unconsciously, and said with a terrified expression: "The little man ate too much wine yesterday, and fell asleep last night, and now he wakes up, he really didn't hear the official knock. Door."
After speaking, he hesitated and asked, "I don't know why the official is looking for the villain?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu led people directly into his house, looked left and right, as if he was strolling around his yard: "Have you ever lived here with a woman?"
Yu Shengquan shook his head: "Sir, the villain has always lived alone, and his parents are in his hometown."
He was lying, trying to hide the identity of the woman.
Gongsun Zhuoyu went in to have a look again, but saw that the bedding in the inner room was really messy, and sat on the bedside carelessly and said, "Then do you know Dan Qiu?"
Yu Shengquan paused before saying, "I know, the villain is a doctor from Jishengtang, and Miss Danqiu often goes there to see a doctor."
Gongsun Zhuoyu asked with a half-smile, "You two are in love with each other?"
Yu Shengquan hurriedly explained: "Sir, why did you say this, Miss Danqiu and I are just casual acquaintances."
Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the bed and said, "If you lie again, this officer will have to put you in jail and fight thirty big boards first."
Yu Shengquan was stunned when he heard the words, but he heard him say: "You don't smell of alcohol, you didn't drink alcohol yesterday, and the bedclothes are messy, but there is no temperature, which means that no one has slept. Since the official entered the door, you have already sprinkled a lot. A lie."
Gongsun Zhuoyu finished speaking, got up and walked around for two laps, then opened the closet to check, tugged inside it twice, pulled out a few sets of women's shirts and skirts and threw them on the bed: "If there are no women living here, why are there dresses? It's Dr. Yu that you wear it yourself, it's too small."
Yu Sheng didn't know how to respond, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly, his expression tense.
Gongsun Zhuoyu searched for clues everywhere, sniffed lightly, and walked into the kitchen following the smell of medicine in the air. He saw a pot of medicine frying on the stove, and a small bowl of black medicinal juice on the low table next to him.
I touched the side of the bowl with my hand, and it was still warm.
Yu Shengquan hurriedly chased after him: "Sir, I'm feeling a cold, this is the medicine to cure the disease."
Gongsun Zhuoyu said: "Really, but why does this official think that this is a medicine for heartache?"
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.
Gongsun Zhuoyu saw that Yu Sheng's body was stiff, and smiled maliciously: "Doctor Yu, why should you lie, as long as you find an old doctor to identify the dregs, you will know what kind of medicine it is, let's just say it, Where is Miss Danqiu hiding?"
Yu Sheng clenched his teeth tightly, but didn't say, "The villain doesn't understand what the adults are talking about."
At this moment, the yamen who searched came over and said, "Sir, I have searched everything inside and outside the house. No Tibetans were found, and no secret passages were found."
If there are no Tibetans, they must have run away. There is no back door in this small courtyard, and if you want to go out, you can only climb over the wall.
When Gongsun Zhuoyu heard the words, he walked to the outside and patrolled around the wall. Finally, he found gray footprints on a tile, and there was an imperceptible blue silk thread next to it, which was hooked from the clothes: "She Run over the wall."
The yamen said anxiously: "Sir, this subordinate will go after him!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu doesn't like to waste effort, he is always good at using the least effort to get the greatest return, and he has to find the right direction to chase: "The medicine is still warm, which means that he has just left. Besides, Danqiu has heartache. I'm frail and sick, so I can't run very far. You leave the two of you to watch Yu Shengquan, and the rest come with me."
After Gongsun Zhuoyu finished speaking, he led the person directly to the outer wall, but saw that it was an alleyway with two directions, one left and one right.
The yamen said: "Sir, we are divided into two groups."
Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his head. When the suspect fled, he would instinctively avoid the government: "The road on the left goes straight through the yamen, and she will run to the right."
After hearing the words, everyone followed the order and chased to the right. Unexpectedly, they didn't go far, and there was another fork in the road ahead. The road is wide and lively in the south, and there are many winding streets and alleys in the north.
The yamen said: "Sir, it is easy to hide in the north, she should have run to the north."
Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't say a word, thinking that he was hiding in the city, and he must hide in a place with many people. Although there are many streets and alleys in the north, but all directions are accessible, if you are not careful, you will be blocked: "No, go to the south. "
He remembered that a strand of thread hooked on the tile by the wall was blue, and instructed the yamen, "Pay attention to women wearing blue clothes."
Danqiu suffers from heartache and is bound to be short of breath. Before running for a long time, he will rest and stop to find a place to hide. Gongsun Zhuoyu noticed that there was a teahouse not far away, and the terrain was very high, so he ran up and looked down at the street from the outside.
Most of the people on the street walked slowly, and if someone suddenly sprinted, it would be obvious.
Gongsun Zhuoyu was a shameless person anyway. He stepped on the railing, rolled up his sleeves, and brewed for a long time. Suddenly, he suddenly shouted down: "Danqiu, run quickly, the yamen is chasing after him!"
His voice was so loud that all the people below stopped and looked up. Gongsun Zhuoyu noticed a blue figure flashing by the side of the road, and was running quickly into the distance, his eyes narrowed, and he jumped down to the second floor in the exclamation of everyone—
"Miss Danqiu, you made it hard for me to find you."
Dan Qiu was running almost exhausted, and was dodging in fear at the roadside tea stall, when she suddenly heard someone tell her to run quickly, and she actually exposed herself under the confusion of mind. In the blink of an eye, a smiling young man was standing in front of him.
Dan Qiu was dressed in a blue shirt, and was petite and thin, with a bit of Daiyu's weakness. She clearly recognized Gongsun Zhuoyu, and while covering her mouth with a handkerchief coughed low, she retreated in panic. Gongsun Zhuoyu is like a bully who bullies good women.
Dan Qiu bit her lower lip tightly, her pretty face turning bloody: "How did you find me?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his finger and pointed upstairs: "Girl, you are condescending, so you can see clearly. Also, you are seriously ill and there is no one to help you, so you can't escape this Jiangzhou city."
Seeing that he was blocking his way, Dan Qiu's face suddenly turned gray, and he clenched his fingertips silently. There were tears in his eyes, as if he was about to cry, but for some reason, he held it back.
Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't know what to do with the girl. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the yamen to come over with someone: "Sir."
Gongsun Zhuoyu hummed, raised his chin slightly, and gestured towards the other side: "This person is Dan Qiu, grab him."
They made such a big noise, many people were watching, but after watching the lively for a long time, a group of eight-foot-tall men only caught a weak woman who was unable to hold a chicken, and there was also Yu Shengquan of Jishengtang. Doctor Yu.
A doctor who saves the world and saves people, and a faint-hearted official who corrupts money and bends the law, he knows with his mind who the people will turn to.
A commoner who had been treated by Yu Shengquan couldn't help but say, "Why do you arrest Doctor Yu! Even the government can't bully people like this!"
As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion around.
"Yeah, Doctor Yu treats sickness and saves people. How can you break the law? Why do you arrest Doctor Yu!"
"There must be an explanation!"
Seeing the people's grievances, the yamen said to Gongsun Zhuoyu a little embarrassedly: "Sir, they are all ignorant people, don't bother with them."
Gongsun Zhuoyu has long practiced to be invulnerable to all poisons. He shook his sleeves and robes, bowed his hands to the people around him, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan Gongsun Zhuoyu, who is the magistrate of Jiangzhou, recently there was a case involving the sinking of a corpse in an ancient well. The culprit has now been caught, and if you have any doubts, you can go to the hearing together."
After he finished speaking, he whispered to the people next to him: "Go, invite Du Sigong and Su Daofu, the old king."
The author has something to say: Su Daofu: Who is the old man scolding
Gongsun Zhuoyu: scold you, scold you, scold you
