When he came in, he walked to the tea table on the right side of Di Ying, put the case box on the table, and then Cheng Ting sat on the first chair at the bottom.
Di Ying put down the tea cup, opened the first case box, took out the case box and looked through it carefully.
The hall was very quiet, only the slight sound he made when turning the pages could be heard.
Cheng Ting sat on a chair, resting his hands on his knees and lowering his gaze, looking only at the ground. Like clay sculptures and wood carvings. He seemed to be unaware of the constant glances directed at him by the short guard beside Di Ying.
Liu Liu was seriously considering the possibility of fighting with the opponent.
I felt like there was no chance of winning, so I included Shi Shi.
Everyone in the room was thinking about their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was strange, but not out of the ordinary.
After all, Di Ying was the only one who had never been a soldier.
After Di Ying finished flipping through the two boxes of cases, he stood up and asked Cheng Ting, "Where is Pu Zan's body?"
Cheng Ting was stunned for a moment when he heard the question, and asked strangely: "No, no, it's a junior general. How do you know he's a junior officer?"
Di Ying stopped asking and signaled Peng Liang to pick up An Zong and walk out.
Cheng Ting tilted his head and looked at the folding line at the corner of the room.
He, Cheng Ting, did not deal with military generals and civil servants, and he had no good impression of those high-ranking officials in the court.
The reason why I was so polite to Di Ying was because I heard that Di Ying was a good official.
Now that he saw that Di Ying didn't talk nonsense to him, his favorable impression of Di Ying rose by one point, but dropped by two points.
Two points down: he couldn't guess what Di Ying wanted to do.
He said disdainfully in his heart: He is indeed a bunch of civil servants, the kind who can make ninety turns with just one intestine. They are annoying.
"Sir, why doesn't Cheng Ting know the whereabouts of Pu Zan's body? Is he too arrogant and rude? We soldiers and generals are straight, but that doesn't mean we are ungrateful people?"
After Di Ying and the others walked out of the county government office without anyone to see them off, Liu Liu couldn't help but speak angrily.
Di Ying laughed and replied nonchalantly: "The case has been settled. Pu Zan's body will naturally be collected by his family. I just asked one more question just in case things did not go according to normal procedures.
And he thought I was asking where exactly Park Chan’s body was buried.
Of course he didn't know.
If he doesn't know, I know that the procedure has not changed. "
Liu Liu: "...Sir, I was stunned by you."
Di Ying: "Hahaha, I guess as soldiers and generals, you have to have a specific concept of everything, right? It's okay, just different habits."
Liu Liu's head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Yes, it must be Ding, Ding, and Mao. If it is not specific, it is easy to go wrong. If you get the task wrong, your head will have to be moved. But after following you, my lord, I have changed a little bit.
Speaking of this... Sir, your concepts are always too broad and often leave us confused. Fortunately, you won't be punished if I make a mistake, so I'm not as nervous as when I followed you in the beginning. "
Di Ying smiled and nodded, admitting: "It's my fault. But you still have to get used to me."
Liu Liu: "...I know."
After bowing his head and answering, he patted his head again and said, "I can follow your thoughts this time. Are you going to examine Pu Zan's body? Shall we leave for Yangliu Village now?"
Liu Liu was the one who inquired about this case, so he naturally knew that Pu Zan and Tu Liang were both villagers of Yangliuzhuang.
Di Ying nodded appreciatively.
Then he patted Wu Yun's head and signaled to speed up.
…
In Yangliu Village, the villagers who were chatting under the big willow tree in the village after tea and dinner were also discussing Tu Liang's murder case.
"He is really a murderer. How many days have he been back? And he killed someone again. It's true that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit."
"That's right, we should stay away from his family from now on, so as not to cause trouble again for no reason."
"That's true. If one murderer comes out of his family, he will probably produce a second or third one. It's not like you haven't seen it before: the second boy in his family looks at us like he's being scratched with a knife. Yes, it’s too bad.”
"Not only that, but there is also his father, Old Man Tu. He used to be friendly with us, but now when he sees us, he seems to be like the enemy who killed his father."
"Aunt Tu is so cruel. How kind-hearted was she before? Now when we pass by her house, she can point at us and scold us for half the night."
"Tch, listen, is this what you are saying? Why don't you think about what you have done before you accuse someone of being cruel?"
"Hey, you man, what have we done? Please speak clearly!"
"Oh, you didn't do anything, you just talked meanly. Tu Liang is at fault, and his family is right. Why do you speak so harshly to his family members every time? Are you only allowed to speak, and no one is allowed to stare? "
"Go away, what do you know? Good bamboo can't produce bad bamboo shoots. If his parents produce bad bamboo shoots, it proves that they are not good bamboos. Let's talk about what's wrong, what's wrong? Are we allowed to tell them or not?"
"Get out of here, all of you. You will talk about how good people were in the past, and then turn around and say that people are not good at bamboo. What the hell. Get away, don't pollute the big willow tree."
"..."
While they were arguing, they saw three fast horses rushing into the village, carrying three noble people on their backs.
The villagers who said that the Tu family was evil immediately said excitedly: "Look, is that someone from the government came again? Just look at it, they must be going to arrest people from the Tu family."
The villagers looked at the similar posture, so they stopped raising any objections.
Even those who spoke for the Tu family before kept their mouths shut.
But the three nobles on horseback passed by in a flash, leaving them with a look of shame on their faces, and headed straight for the end of the village.
"Hey! You ran the wrong way. The Tu family is at the beginning of the village, not at the end. Come back!"
When the villagers who were excited before saw that they were running in the wrong direction, they stretched out their arms and shouted without caring about the dust that flew into their mouths.
The three of them went there but didn't stop.
Not even a pause.
The villagers looked at each other, and then... rushed to follow.
The mouth hasn't stopped yet.
"What happened to our Yangliu Village this year? Has anything happened to any other family?"
"That's right, it's so evil, why is it endless?"
"Hurry and see if someone dies in another house."
"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense, maybe it's just a shame?"
"Ha! What you said is not as good as what I said."
"..."
As he spoke, the villagers all ran to the end of the village.
When I saw the three horses before, they actually stopped at the gate of the Pu family's courtyard.
Curiosity suddenly aroused again.
Someone whispered: "Pu, someone in the Pu family died again?"
None of the villagers responded to his words, but they all crowded together in front of the open courtyard door of the Pu family with such doubts.
But I heard one of the nobles say to Old Man Pu: "We are from the government. Where is Pu Zan buried? Take us there. We need to open the grave and conduct an autopsy."
