Shao Xi really couldn't understand the professionalism of the trade. It was disgusting to think about how he would bite the silver stripped from the corpse like this. If it wasn't for a living, who would be willing to do such a thing? No matter in which era, those living at the bottom are the saddest.
“Where is the silver you stripped off?”
Seeing Shao Xi's question, the man took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it carefully, revealing a piece of blackened silver.
When Shao Xi reached out to pick it up, he could clearly see Wu Zuo's reluctance. It seemed that he originally planned to keep the piece of silver as his own, but now that the adult in front of him wanted to use it for investigating the case, he decided to Had to hand it over.
Shao Xi took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into his hand. Then he asked him, "Do you need to submit a document for the inspection you did today? If you are required to appear in court one day, I will testify, but there will be certain risks, are you willing?"
"The villain is a bastard. The inspection must be completed and submitted in documents. It is also the villain's duty to testify in court. He just mentioned that there is a risk, but he doesn't know what kind of risk it is?"
"If you are promoted to court in this county government office, you can just tell the truth about the results of your inspection. But if one day you are asked to go to the state government office to testify in court, you may offend the officials in the county. By then you will Don’t have any scruples, I will take care of you, and of course I won’t treat you badly.”
After saying that, Shao Xi took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and stuffed it into his hand.
When Wu Zuo saw how generous the adult in front of him was, he quickly agreed: "The villain will obey the adults' arrangements. The villain will do whatever the adults tell him to do. He will definitely live up to the adults' trust."
"The agreement between you and me today is not to be shared with outsiders. If I get your help in the future, I will be deeply grateful."
"The villain understands that all villains obey the arrangements of the adults."
Shao Xi nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left the mortuary.
At this time, many officials were waiting outside the mortuary. When they saw Shao Xi coming out, they all gathered around and asked about the results of the inspection.
"There are still many doubts about this case. I will inform you all of the results after I go back and study the details carefully. It is getting late, so you all should go back and rest! If I need to trouble you all, I will send someone to ask for it. "
When everyone was leaving, Chen Mohuai and Liang Daoqian came up and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Shao has any judgment in his heart at this time?"
"It's just some conjectures. After I go back to discuss with Mr. Wu, I will come to the government office tomorrow to discuss the details with Mr. Chen."
After saying that, without waiting for any further questions, Shao Xi turned around and walked towards the door of the government office. At this time, Liang Daoqian's voice came from behind.
"It must be the thief. If he fails to steal, he kills people and sets fire to cover up the crime. If this person falls into my hands, this thief will definitely die."
Shao Xi stopped, turned around and asked Liang Daoqian with a cold face: "Master Liang seems to hate this thief very much. Hearing Master Liang's tone, he wanted to skin him and cramp him, but Master Liang's home has also been visited by this thief? Or is there something else? reason?"
Liang Daoqian quickly bowed and said, "No, no, no, I just hate this thief who committed murder, set fire, and did all kinds of bad things. It's not what Master Shao suspected."
"Until the truth comes out, no one can arbitrarily convict others. How can we make false claims about human life and heaven?"
After Shao Xi finished speaking, he turned around and left the county governor's office. Liang Daoqian behind him was sweating on his head at this time. He thought to himself that Mr. Shao was young, but his official power was not small despite his cold face.
When Shao Xi returned to the post house, Lao Wu was already waiting for him in the room.
After Shao Xi closed the door, he asked Lao Wu, "How was your inspection over there? Did you find anything unusual?"
Old Wu casually leaned on the chair and said: "Don't ask me how it is there, but tell me, what were you and that girl talking about in the courtyard tonight for a long time?"
"Weren't you in the room at that time? Are you here to ask me now?"
"When I arrived, I happened to see you shaking your head and pretending to recite poetry. Who knows what you said before?"
"Well, I told you this, you can't blame me for being nosy."
Old Wu drooped his eyelids and raised his chin, which meant, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of farts if you have anything to say."
So Shao Xi told Old Wu from beginning to end what he and Ye Ziyuan said in the garden tonight, and then huddled aside and waited for Old Wu to get angry.
Surprisingly, instead of getting angry, Lao Wu laughed, which was very abnormal.
"I have no objection, we will redeem that girl's life and take her on the road with us."
"What?"
In the past, every time Shao Xi wanted to meddle in his own business, Old Wu would always stop him. Did he take the wrong medicine this time?
Shao Xi stepped forward, looked at Old Wu's face carefully, then raised his hand and tried it on Old Wu's forehead, thinking that he didn't even have a fever! So he started looking down in his pocket again.
"Hey! Is there something wrong with you? Why are you fussing over nothing?"
"Let me see if I have enough medicine. Did you take my medicine by mistake?"
"Damn boy, you just took the wrong medicine."
"Weren't you the most opposed to me meddling in my own business before? What went wrong today? When things go wrong, there must be a monster. What do you think you are planning?"
"What kind of idea can I have? I just think that girl is not bad. If I can follow you and take care of you in the future, how many years can I keep you with me as an old man? I think this girl is not bad. If I stay with you one day, I will Now that I’m gone, I can go on the road with peace of mind.”
"Old Wu, don't you plan to live to be a hundred years old?"
"Why live so long? Do you want to make you angry with me for a few more years?"
At this point, Shao Xi remembered that ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. Old Wu was almost seventy years old, and he would fall behind him every time he tried his body skills. Compared with the time when he held himself and ran away outside the thatched hut, he was no longer able to do so. Same thing.
"Old guy, don't worry! No matter how old you live, I will always be here. I will take care of you until you die."
"Bah, bah, bah! I haven't reached the point where I can't move anymore and need you to take care of me. What can I do with you if I am living well now?"
Shao Xi hesitated for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, there is another troublesome thing that I don't know how to deal with."
"Is it about the girl's identity?"
"Holy crap, how do you know everything? Are you, an old fox, eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Old Wu rolled his eyes at Shao Xi, "Do you think I am a young boy like you who just came out of the world? I have been in the world for so many years. If I couldn't see this, I wouldn't be alive today. You have to learn There are still many things.”
Shao Xi suddenly became interested, moved a chair and sat next to Lao Wu, and asked excitedly: "Tell me, tell me, how did you see it? When did you see it?"
"All the things I have taught you over the years have been in vain. When you see a beautiful girl, you forget everything?"
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, how did you see it?"
"Do you still remember when I taught you three how to judge a person's martial arts times?"
"You gave an example. The dancers in Goulan generally practice martial arts and body skills, which are inferior martial arts!"
Old Wu raised his hand and touched the back of Shao Xi's head, "Are you a pig? The moment I took the Cuiyu Sword from you the night before and dodged to the center of the hall, it was obvious that I had practiced mental skills to be so fast. The speed, coupled with the posture of her sword dancing, shows that she has also practiced techniques, which is enough to prove that she practices superior martial arts."
"You can tell who she is just from this, why don't I believe it?"
"Of course it cannot be based on this alone. I admit that this girl is a woman of integrity, but it is difficult for a woman in the Goulan to refuse a favored customer's offer to redeem herself. Her ability to refuse proves that she has her own plans to make money. road."
"That's it? No more?" Shao Xi curled his lips.
"It's tonight again. Only a ghost can believe that you two met by chance. Did you chase the person to that place and then disappear, and then you met her?"
Shao Xi nodded in agreement: "You and I are the same on this point. I don't believe that I met her by chance tonight, but I have another way of judgment of my own."
This time it was Old Wu who was more interested, "Tell me how you figured out her identity?"
"Do you still remember the poem she wrote during the sword dance that night? If the word 'kite' in her name is just a coincidence, then she has clearly told me her identity in that poem."
"I don't understand poetry. Those of you who have read books like to engage in this kind of guessing-like thing."
"What she recited that day was a Tibetan poem. The four words in the middle of the four sentences of her seven-character quatrain were connected to the four words 'flying kite under the moon'."
"Maybe it's a coincidence again!" Old Wu said with some disapproval.
"It's not a coincidence. I changed her poem in the same way tonight, and she understood it. It proves that her poem was intended to hint to me about her identity. It just depends on whether I can understand the deeper meaning. Then It was her way of testing me."
"Any more?"
"Yes, before I hinted to her that I knew her identity tonight, she used the excuse of keeping it as a memory and asked me for a piece of clothing that I had shaved off from her clothes with my sword energy before she left. She didn't know that I I can already smell her unique fragrance on the clothes."
"So, that night you also suspected her identity based on her martial arts performance?"
"Of course! Otherwise, wouldn't your teaching be in vain? But sometimes people have to pretend to be confused, at least to save you face, right?"
Lao Wu instantly felt that his sense of superiority just now was no longer good. It turned out that this kid was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, pretending to be confused in front of him.
"It seems that you asked the government office to deploy manned guards throughout the city with great fanfare tonight just to make her retreat."
"That's right, that's probably the purpose of why you took the initiative to ask us to participate in this matter, right?"
"You little fox!"
"You old fox!"
The two looked at each other and smiled.
