The sun began to set in the west, and Xiao Wu came back.
The moment he came back, he brought the magistrate of Qingshen County.
There were not only the magistrate of Qingshen County, but also the head catcher of Qingshen County and two government officials.
The magistrate of Qingshen County did not know the identities of Yang Wuhui and Zhan Yirong, but he recognized Gu Jieqing at a glance.
He quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty, Feng Wujiu, pays homage to Mr. Gu!"
Gu Jieqing was already at the fifth rank, two ranks higher than the magistrate of Qingshen County.
It is said that the first level of officialdom can kill people, let alone the second level of officialdom.
Gu Jieqing frowned and said, "County Magistrate Feng, I asked Xiao Wu to tell you to bring more people. Why did you add the three of them and there were four people here!"
Feng Wujiu smiled bitterly and replied: "Master Qi, it's not because I don't want to bring more people! This is the most people I can bring within my ability."
Hearing such an answer, Yang Wuhui couldn't help but look over.
At this time, Xiao Wu couldn't help but stood up and said: "Boss, this Qingshen County is really surprising! There are only five people in the county government including the arrester. If two of them have to guard the county government, there is nothing we can do. coming."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Wuhui roughly understood what was going on.
But Gu Jieqing didn't understand. He looked at Magistrate Qingshen and said, "Magistrate Feng, why do you have so few yamen servants in your yamen? Could it be that everyone else is on strike?"
Feng Wujiu explained with some shame: "Master Gu, it's not because other people are on strike. It's because our Qingshen County is already small and the people are relatively poor. The superiors don't attach much importance to Qingshen County. So the county government can only If we can afford to support so many people, it must be that the lower officials are unwilling to recruit more government servants!"
The catcher next to him also explained: "Mr. Gu, what my lord said is true. Although we are not officials, we are eating royal food after all. That is really enviable, and there are countless people who want it. He broke his head and came in. But the county government was able to give us so much money, it’s really no wonder the county magistrate.”
Yang Wuhui also said: "Master Gu, Qingshen County has indeed been extremely poor since ancient times, but what we saw today also confirms the saying that a hundred hearings is better than a first sight. So what they should say is true, Master Gu. Don’t worry about it.”
When Gu Jieqing heard this, he could only give up.
Feng Wujiu, on the other hand, looked at Yang Wuhui with some curiosity. After all, who was Gu Jieqing? Even a county magistrate in a remote place knew that the living king of hell in the Imperial City Department would actually be friends with this young man. It was really a ghost. .
Feng Wujiu said: "May I ask who this is?"
Yang Wuhui replied: "In Xia Xichong County, the county magistrate has not yet arrived!"
As soon as these words came out, Feng Wujiu and the people behind him were stunned.
Feng Wujiu said in disbelief: "Xichong County?"
Yang Wuhui nodded: "It's Xichong County!"
Feng Wujiu's lips moved and he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.
This is not surprising to Yang Wuhui, because the previous Xichong County Magistrate has been missing for such a long time, and even his body has not been found. Now that there is a new County Magistrate, Feng Wujiu cannot afford to think too much.
At this time, Gu Jieqing also said: "We'd better carry the body up first!"
After hearing this, Feng Wujiu remembered what he wanted to do.
Looking at the well in front of him, Feng Wujiu said: "This well was built by people from Gejia Village. The body could be in the well!"
Yang Wuhui told Feng Wujiu how he and others found the body. Feng Wujiu also showed a surprised expression after hearing this, and then asked the people he brought to follow Yang Wuhui's instructions and fish out the body.
It was just the stench emanating from the corpse. Even they had not seen corpses before. The moment they came out of the well, they still started retching.
The body after being salvaged was not complete.
There is no way to keep the body intact unless the water in this well is drained.
But if you want to clean this well, the tools at this time will definitely not work. Even if you have the tools, you don't know how many days it will take to clean the well.
Yang Wuhui took out his tools, put on a towel, and approached the body.
Even with the face towel, he still got smoked.
After checking for a while, Yang Wuhui said: "This person is a woman, about thirty years old, and died about more than a month ago. The way of death was that she was strangled to death and then tied to a stone and sunk in water. , because there were strangulation marks on the neck and no wounds elsewhere.”
Feng Wujiu looked at Yang Wuhui, a little surprised.
He didn't expect that he would have such an ability. He originally thought of taking the body back to the Yamen and having his wife do the autopsy, but he didn't expect that the incoming magistrate of Xichong County would have such an ability!
Yang Wuhui looked at the head catcher in Qingshen County and said, "I just heard Master Feng say that this well was built by people from Gejia Village. In this case, I would also like you to take someone to Gejia Village to investigate. Gejia Village is the nearest Is there a woman in her thirties who is missing?"
Zhang Shun glanced at Feng Wujiu, and Feng Wujiu immediately said: "Don't do what Mr. Yang ordered!"
Zhang Shun nodded and left with a yamen servant.
Gu Jieqing asked curiously: "Are you suspicious that this woman is from Gejia Village?"
Yang Wuhui replied: "Since the murderer thinks that a hundred kilograms of stone tied to a person can sink a person to the bottom of a well, then he will definitely not go to great lengths to transport it to a very far place. Then the murderer may be This woman is familiar with people, and they are most likely from Gejia Village."
After hearing this, Feng Wujiu nodded in agreement.
Then he said: "Master Yang, what should we do next?"
Yang Wuhui said: "I may have to trouble Master Feng. I suddenly encountered a murder case. I may need to use Master Feng's territory to try the case. I hope Master Feng will not feel that I have overstepped."
Feng Wujiu immediately replied: "It doesn't matter, since Mr. Yang is willing to hear the case, that's what I want."
Yang Wuhui smiled, and then asked someone to take the body with them to Qingshen County.
After arriving in Qingshen County, Yang Wuhui realized why there were only a few government officials in Qingshen County and why Qingshen County was so depressed.
This Qingshen County doesn't look like a county, it's just a bigger town!
Even Zhan Yirong and Gu Jieqing were stunned by this.
It turns out that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books. Qingshen County is so poor.
However, it is also the hometown of famous people, so it is hard to accept this appearance.
As for Yang Wuhui, he was only slightly surprised, and then returned to normal.
The southwest is not as good as the Central Plains, whether it is economic or other aspects.
But here, the environment is very good, which is worthy of praise.
Feng Wujiu also began to arrange for people to take Yang Wuhui and others to rest.
Yang Wuhui naturally told Feng Wujiu to let him know if his head catcher came back.
Feng Wujiu naturally agreed, because he was not good at solving crimes.
And if the case is solved, he will still have credit.
