Du Mingcheng sighed: "It seems that you have made up your mind and are unwilling to confess."
Okay, I'm not going to make it difficult, but there's another thing that you can do for me. ”"What?"
Long Xingtu secretly breathed a sigh of relief."
It is rumored that Zhong Wushan knows the affairs of the world, and the official is entrusted by the Marquis of Anguo Mansion to ask the old-timers about Xia Zhihuai's only daughter Xia Xin, but the old-timers are silent.This matter is very important, if the orphans of the Xia family are still alive, it will play an important role in rehabilitating the Xia family's unjust case!
Therefore, the official has no choice but to ask you to help persuade the old-timers, and ask the old-timers to extend a righteous hand, and the official and the Hou Mansion promise that they will never drag down the old-timers!
”Du Mingcheng's praying eyes made Long Xingtu's heart flutter with a trace of panic, and she quietly suppressed this wave of shock, pretending to be surprised, "Wasn't the Xia family beheaded by the whole family?"
Where did the orphans come from?
”"According to what Second Master Li said, Hou Ye has always believed that Xia Xin is not dead, and the body that was beheaded that day, although it looks like Xia Xin, and even said that there is no flaw, but Xia Xin was bitten by a wild dog when he was a child, leaving a scar the size of a fingernail, and the corpse is intact."
Du Mingcheng told the truth that since he wanted to ask Zhong Wushan for help, there was no reason to hide it.Long Xingtu's hands and feet were cold, no wonder Li Yanbai was sure that she was Xia Xin, it turned out that their whole family thought that Xia Xin was still alive!
Fortunately, she is gone, otherwise it is only a matter of time before Li Yanzhou, and even Hou Ye and Mrs. know her identity!"
Star Map!"
Du Mingcheng looked at her demeanor and mistakenly thought that she was unwilling, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "When you agreed to participate in Xia Zhihuai's case, you were one of us, so you have the obligation to help us find Xia Xin!"
”"My lord, I have a question.If Xia Xin is alive in the world, and you find her again, first of all, she will bear the sin of bullying the king, right?
And none of the people involved in saving her back then could survive!
”Long Xingtu spoke slowly and hit the nail on the head.Du Mingcheng bowed: "Yes, we have already thought about this question.Naturally, this is a secret, and we will not make it public until we have received the edict of the present saint. ”However, the Dragon Star Chart only believes in the security that comes with holding one's life into one's own hands.She was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that my master has been to Wuyang County.I don't know where I am at the moment?
”Du Mingcheng said: "The old-timers visited the people around Wuyang County, but their whereabouts were uncertain, sometimes they came back in one or two days, sometimes three or four days. ”Long Xingtu nodded, "Okay then."
When Master returns, I will try to persuade him, but I can't guarantee that Master will listen to me. ”"If the weight of your apprentice is not enough, then what about adding Zhongli and Zhong Chu?
Will it ......"
"No. ”"Why?""
Master favors me, and my words are usually more effective than their brothers and sisters.But Master has his own opinions, and it is very difficult to change what he decides. ”Du Mingcheng was speechless.The dragon star map is about to slip away.As soon as she turned around, Du Mingcheng suddenly grabbed her arm, "Why isn't there a letter from the second master?"
”"Huh?
How would I know?
”Long Xingtu was stunned.Du Mingcheng looked at her, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, how can I ignore you with Second Master Li's temperament?"
”Long Xingtu discovered for the first time that Du Mingcheng also had the potential to gossip, and she said patiently: "My lord, you think too much, right?"
Since General Li and Prince Xian have already asked, why should Second Master Li do the same thing?
Besides, I am a little master, how can He De ......"
"You give up the official and don't do it, but there is a reason for the second master?"
”Du Mingcheng suddenly threw out a bold guess.Long Xingtu's face turned pale for a moment, and then he slowly lowered his voice: "My lord, any choice I make has nothing to do with others, just out of my own considerations.Between me and adults, I want to talk only about business, not about privacy.If you can't do it, I can leave Wuyang County immediately. ”Du Mingcheng admitted defeat, and apologized again before softening the Dragon Star Diagram.She said with a straight face: "Talk about business."
In the cellar of the Tongfu Inn, a second body was found, and all of them have been transported back to the morgue. ”"Two dead?"
Du Mingcheng was surprised, "Is it also a pile of bones?"
”"It's not."
Long Xingtu shook his head and kindly reminded, "Prepare your senses, this is a corpse that is more terrifying than white bones.If the adults can't stand it, don't look at it for the time being, after the autopsy of Dr.
Zhu and me, the handling will be better, and the adults will take a look. ”When Du Mingcheng heard this, he felt a thrill in his heart, and when he looked at the serious expression of the Dragon Star Diagram, he knew that what he said was true.But as a county magistrate, he must see the state of the body before the autopsy with his own eyes to meet the trial regulations.After struggling for a moment, he finally felt relieved and said, "It's okay, the official can hold it."
Let's go, go to the morgue. ”Long Xingtu raised his eyebrows, "Okay, with me, adults relax their hearts." ”The two of them stepped out of the study.The front and back mansions are brightly lit.Everywhere Long Xingtu could see, there seemed to be someone who was smiling and calling her name affectionately: Xingtu.She lowered her eyelids, and the sourness on the tip of her nose spread all the way to her heart.At the beginning, if Du Mingcheng had told her earlier that Second Master Li was not Li Yanbai, today's situation would be another ending.The morgue has not been unusual.The catchers and servants, who were always on first-level alert, finally breathed a sigh of relief when Long Xingtu and Du Mingcheng came over."
Master Long, it's quiet inside, and there is no movement for the time being. ”Long Xingtu explained carefully: "Inform Zhu Yanzuo that the autopsy will be performed after the sun rises tomorrow morning, and bring all the things needed for the bone examination."
In addition, he instructed the kitchen to prepare charcoal ash in advance, and mix the wine trough, white plum, green onion, salt and pepper together and grind them to make cakes. ”"Yes!"
Catch them and write them down one by one.Du Mingcheng stared at the two locks reinforced on the door of the morgue, combined with the situation of the heavy guards, and the report that the arrest was meaningful, he was full of suspicion, "The corpse in the cellar is not white bones, could it be that it has not yet decomposed after death?"
But even so, what's so scary?
”Long Xingtu tightened his fists and said slowly: "It's not just dead, but a dried corpse that has endured for many years after death, also called a zombie."
According to ancient books, zombies can turn into red, black, and white dried corpses.And the zombie in the cellar is the red dry corpse. ”Du Mingcheng's legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground, "stiff......
Corpse?
This thing, it's ......
How did it come about?
”Long Xingtu said: "According to folklore, zombies have no soul and no soul, immortal and immortal, free from the Three Realms, and first appeared in the year of the Flood Monster Beast, called Ying Gou, Hou Qing, Drought Fish, General, and there is also a saying that the earliest was in the Yanhuang period, a daughter of the Yellow Emperor, because of the curse of Chi You, became a zombie.There are also rumors that the Taoist has the method of refining the form of Taiyin, and the corpse will be buried for hundreds of years, and it will be resurrected after the expiration of the period, that is, the resurrection of zombies.But these are all random compilations, and they are not enough to be believed. ”
