The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 44 Zhang Long Zhao Hu
A large number of people surrounded the Changle County Yamen, shouting inside.

He stepped into the hall, but was stopped by two guards.

The guards in Chang'an County were dressed in blue and black, and the people inside could recognize where the red and black Zheng Nian came from at a glance.

"Crossing the court, do you know what crime it is!" The adult on the stage put a bowl of tea in his mouth, took a sip of tea, spit out a mouthful, and said casually.

Zheng Nian cupped his hands, "Please punish me for my lowly position."

Seeing that Zheng Nian didn't kneel, the magistrate of Changle County said coldly, "When confronting in court, you have to hit the door first, come on."

Two rows of strong soldiers came over, holding water and fire ruthless sticks, and said to Zheng Nian, "Please, sir."

Zheng Nian saw a lot of money on the stool beside her, bloodstains were faintly appearing on her ten fingers at this moment, she choked up and said, "Boss..."

"Don't worry, since I'm here, no one will bully you." Zheng Nian lay on the bench.

The people here more or less know about Zheng Nian, not only because of his aunt's reputation, but Zheng Nian's rioting in Xinghualou is also an anecdote, so he was merciful. .

Everyone is doing errands, and there is no need for anyone to embarrass anyone.

Zheng Nian also understands that anyone who disturbs the court will be beaten no matter what they are doing. This is for the people outside to see, and it is not really what they want, it is just a deterrent.

Qi protects the body, Zheng Nian has nothing to do.

"Who is in the hall?" the county magistrate asked.

"Villain Zheng Nian, Chang'an County policeman, I have seen Mr. Mu." Zheng Nian bowed respectfully.

The county magistrate of Changle County is surnamed Mu, and his single name has the word Qiu.He is an enrolling student, about the same age as Zheng Nian, and he is studying in the same academy, but he has no friendship.

Mu Qiu nodded, "What is disturbing the hall!"

"Come to be a lawyer." Zheng Nian said, "Today I heard that the girl Qian Haoduo killed her husband, now come to plead for her."

"Oh? The implication is that Zheng Butou thinks that Carpenter Sun was not killed by her?" Mu Qiu frowned.

"Exactly." Zheng Nian said.

"However, Carpenter Sun died at home last night. There was no sign of outsiders breaking in, and all the money was there. As far as I know, Carpenter Sun was a kind person and had no enemies on weekdays. Now that he died suddenly, the only change is this one." The woman married into the family a few days ago. And the two are already married, but last night she was sleeping soundly in the side room, which is extremely weird." Mu Qiu said.

Zheng Nian bowed, "Your Excellency's words are very true, but one of the humble positions is unknown, can you ask Your Excellency?"

Mu Qiu spread his hands, "But it doesn't matter."

"The deceased, Carpenter Sun, had his head cut off?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Exactly." Mu Qiu was taken aback.

"Where is the head?" Zheng Nian asked.

"This..." Mu Qiu frowned, "The whereabouts of the head are still unknown, but the body has been identified by me, so there is no doubt that it is me."

"Can I confront you?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Yes." Mu Qiu picked up the Gaiwan Cha and waved to Zuo Zuo beside him.

The young Wu Zuo came forward and saluted first, and then said, "Catcher, according to my investigation, there are wounds on the hands, sawdust and calluses, so it is determined that he is a carpenter, and his height and build are all the same as that of the clothes in the house." It fits just right. The shoe size is the same, so that's why I inferred this result."

Zheng Nian nodded, "When was the dead body?"

"A moment of ugliness."

"That's a coincidence." Zheng Nian smiled slightly.

Mu Qiu frowned, "Catcher Zheng might as well say it clearly."

"I also have a corpse here. It is also ugly, and it is also a carpenter. It also matches the size of the clothes and shoes at home." After Zheng Nian finished speaking, he looked back.

Xu Zhu led six young servants from Chang'an County into the lobby carrying a corpse covered in a white cloth.

"Bring it up!" Mu Qiu shouted.

Zheng Nian cupped his hands, "Please check."

Mu Qiu gave Wu Zuo a look.

Wu Zuo immediately went to investigate.

Zheng Nian said, "My lord, this man is Carpenter Chen, who worked in Chang'an County in the outer city, and died at home today. Like Carpenter Sun, he is unmarried and alone."

"Huh?" Mu Qiu was puzzled, "Carpenter Sun has a wife, and there is a lot of money at the bottom, how could you not know?"

Zheng Nian smiled slightly, "Master, when he was promoted today, did you know that Carpenter Sun has a wife?"

"I don't know." Mu Qiu said.

"Several people who are looking for messengers are patrolling the streets in the folk squares every day. I would like to ask, do you know?"

The heads of Kuai Zhuangzao's third shift all shook their heads.

"Exactly." Zheng Nian said, "The two married on that day was only a verbal agreement, there was no official marriage, and there was no ceremony, so the neighbors in the neighborhood didn't know about it."

While talking, Wu Zuo came over and reported, "Master, the corpse is indeed as Zheng Butou said."

Mu Qiu looked at Zheng Nian suspiciously, "What does it mean that the unidentified matchmaker is getting married?"

"Explain, the person who killed him didn't know that he had a wife. If he knew, what your lord saw today was the corpses of their husband and wife!" Zheng Nian said.

Mu Qiu was shocked, "How do you say that?"

"My lord, to be honest, there was a case in Chang'an County a few days ago..." Zheng Nian explained the three cases of headless corpses clearly, and finally added, "Now the murderer has not been found, and the method of committing the crime is exactly the same. Withdrawal, it involves a lot, please think twice, my lord."

Zheng Nian turned his head and pointed at the corpse and said, "The two died in each other's home. Someone exchanged all the clothes, shoes and socks in Carpenter Sun's and Carpenter Chen's homes. They are single and poor. There are not many of these things. A cart It can be done."

"Then why bother so much?" Mu Qiu asked while digesting what Zheng Nian said just now.

"I don't have a clue yet. Now the disaster happened because of me. If I solved the case as soon as possible, the people would not have suffered such disasters. It was my fault. My lord, please raise your hand and let me and Mrs. Qian go out." Zheng Nian said.

"Zheng Nian, you have entered the ninth rank. I think you and I are officials in the same dynasty. I can let you go today, but although this person is not suspected of the previous two unresolved cases, today's incident is closely related to her. She definitely won't be able to leave." Mu Qiu said.

Zheng Nian stared at Mu Qiu, "My lord, Mrs. Qian is as close as a brother and sister to me. She is actually my right-hand man, and even the official of the Chang'an County Yamen. If I have her, I will get twice the result with half the effort."

"Do more with less? What do you mean, you want to take over this case?" Mu Qiu asked.

"It's not that I want to take over." Zheng Nian said with a suspicious smile, "It's just to share your worries."

Mu Qiu felt better when he heard this, "Okay, I can give you the man, but I have to bring my man."

"It's so good." Zheng Nian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Long Zhao Hu." Mu Qiu said.

"The humble job is here!" Two tall men walked out sideways.

"The two of you can help out a little while following you," Mu Chou instructed.

Zheng Nian was taken aback when he heard the name, and then said in a promise, "Thank you, Bao... oh...Master Mu."
