"Xiao...Xiaohe?" Master Xu, the widower who was following behind Fu Yunlang, the county magistrate, never expected that the person to be inspected this time would turn out to be his most beloved apprentice. The tool box in his hand immediately fell to the ground.
Fu Yunlang turned around when he heard the voice, and saw Xu Wuzuo looking rude, and he couldn't bear it, "Xu Wuzuo, for this autopsy, you should avoid it first, and someone else can take over."
"No!" Xu Wuzuo stared at the tragically dead young apprentice on the ground and sternly rejected Fu Yunlang's proposal.
Then he mechanically bent down and reached for the tool box, but his rough palms couldn't help trembling.
Fu Yunlang's lips moved slightly, and he turned around silently, waiting for Xu Zuo's autopsy results.
At this moment, there was another rush of footsteps at the door.
Fu Yunlang turned around to check and saw Tengxian County Magistrate Hu Ke and Dian Shi Yangzhou walking into the execution room one after another.
"Master Fu, I heard that there was a murder in our yamen. What's going on?" Hu Ke hurriedly crossed the threshold with the hem of his official uniform half lifted, and his gray goatee swayed tremblingly.
Yang Zhou followed behind with a serious expression and didn't say much.
The yamen officer behind Fu Yunlang immediately bowed his hands and bowed to the two officials who were approaching, "To tell you the two adults, Yang He, who was in the execution room, died unexpectedly in the execution room, and now Xu Zuo is conducting an autopsy."
Fu Yunlang nodded slightly towards the county magistrate Hu Ke and said hello briefly.
After Hu Dongcai returned a salute to Fu Yunlang, he turned to look at Hu Dongcai, who was standing aside, and asked sternly, "Hu Dongcai, the murder happened in your torture chamber. Do you know how much responsibility you have for this?"
Hu Dongcai immediately knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and hurriedly defended: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, I have been with the county magistrate all the time, and I have never been back to the torture chamber. During this period, Secretary Wen has been working in the torture chamber alone."
Hearing Hu Dongcai's words, the yamen servant immediately became excited like a chicken. He raised his finger and pointed at Wen Xiaoyun, and hurriedly added the accusation, "Hu County Cheng, we brothers can clearly see this murderous case outside. Chu. First, Wen Xiaojun chased Xiao Yangzi into the execution room with a knife, and then locked the door. Then there was a scream from inside. Although our brothers didn’t know how they got hit, they were just trying to break up the fight. , heard the screams, broke in and took a look, and saw Xiao Yangzi died tragically here.
Let me tell you, little Yangzi was killed by Secretary Wen, and all of us brothers can testify! "
Faced with the impassioned accusation from the yamen servant, Hu Ke did not make a judgment immediately.
He raised his hand to stroke the goatee on his chin, glanced at Fu Yunlang in front of him, and looked at the young body lying in a pool of blood. His eyes finally fell on Wen Xiaoyun, who was leaning on Yin Nuo with his head lowered and barely standing still.
He continued to ask thoughtfully: "That means you only heard the screams and didn't see Secretary Wen kill people with your own eyes?"
The Yamen servant inadvertently glanced at Dian Shi Yangzhou behind him, swallowed unconsciously, and replied: "Returning to your lord, although we didn't see Secretary Wen kill anyone with our own eyes, there is no such thing in this room at all. Others. Just now, he personally admitted that there were many piles of books scattered in this room, which would fall apart if outsiders touched them. Except for the pile that I knocked over when I came in to check, the books piled elsewhere were all in good condition.
Maybe these piles of books were an excuse for him to keep out outsiders. Under the guise of organizing the paperwork in a messy manner, I didn’t let anyone in so I could move the body away when no one was paying attention! "
Yinnuo's nose was almost crooked with anger.
How could they actually pull off such a frame-up and slander that was full of loopholes? !
He opened his mouth to curse back, but his arm was tightly held by Wen Xiaoyun.
Yin Nuo lowered his eyes unconsciously. Although Wen Xiaoyun's head hung low, he still understood her intention.
She was telling him not to act rashly, that everything was determined in her heart.
Yinnuo suppressed his anger and barely endured it.
Yang Zhou, the Dianshi at the back, looked at the layout of the room with complicated expressions, "Two adults, according to my opinion, this case may not be that simple. Even if Secretary Wen wanted to kill someone, he would not choose the Yamen to do it. Let's not talk about it for now. How difficult would it be for others to move the body out if they are so weak? Just talking about the movements during the murder would be difficult to hide from everyone. With Secretary Wen’s mind, he shouldn’t do such a stupid thing.”
"Yang Dianshi!" The yamen officer heard that Yang Zhou denied his accusation immediately, and his eyes immediately turned red. "Everything the young man said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the brothers at the door. . We could clearly see the scene at that time!"
When the yamen servant standing near the door and several yamen servants outside the door heard this, they all shouted loudly to testify for the yamen servant, proving that what the yamen servant said was indeed what they had seen with their own eyes.
Yin Nuo's face in the room suddenly darkened.
Of course he believed that Wen Xiaoyun was innocent, but with so many government officials at the door giving evidence, the possibility of it being completely false was not high.
Thinking of this, Yinnuo's eyes suddenly froze. Could it be——
