Chapter 28 Yuhang County Lieutenant, Chu Xiuran

The number one red-clothed emissary in the Tianxia Pavilion was eating the buttered pancakes, lamenting that the people's ability to communicate was indeed powerful, and within a day, he had already become the number one in the Tianxia Pavilion.

"Where can I see the number one red-clothed emissary in Tianxia Pavilion?" Bai Yujing couldn't help asking.

Xiao Er thought for a moment, "Why did you see him? He's an embroiderer. If you don't make sure you don't like it, you will be arrested and interrogated for ten days and a half months."

Bai Yujing said: "This kind of powerful person, if you don't see him, wouldn't it be a trip to Yuhang County?"

Xiaoer nodded and said: "Then you should go to the county captain Chu, and you should also go to the county captain Chu when the red envoy comes. After all, only the red envoy can take care of things that have broken the sky. These days, the county captain Chu But he was very busy, I heard that Prince Jing summoned him last night, and I don't know what he did, hey, look! That's not the county captain of Chu!"

Bai Yujing followed Xiao Er's fingers, and saw that Qinglong Gate had been opened at the gate of the county government office, and a man in official uniform came out from inside. This man looked to be in his early twenties, and his clothes were quite Wrinkled, walked very hastily, and his face was sallow, and he looked like he hadn't had a good rest for many days.

After paying the bill, Bai Yujing immediately jumped up and followed.

Lieutenant Chu's pace was not fast, and his feet were swaying, which was enough to show that he didn't have much effort on his body. After walking a few steps, he found a small restaurant and sat down. He ordered a couple of drinks and a salted duck. A bowl of tribute powder was eaten.

The Chu county lieutenant's forehead was covered with dark clouds. He sighed and ate while he was eating. The salted duck was no longer fragrant, and the tribute noodles were no longer delicious. Forehead, it seems that without this hand, it could fall into the bowl.

Bai Yujing couldn't bear to see Lieutenant Chu looking as if he was about to die, knowing that he was very busy with the affairs of the past few days, and the pressure from above might be even greater, so he walked up and sat in the seat in front of him, comforting him. Said: "Are you going to die?"

Lieutenant Chu County has been so intoxicated these past few days that he has already exhausted his energy and thought. Now he drank a few sips of wine and became even more drunk. His heart was as dead ashes. When he looked at Bai Yujing, his eyes turned red and he burst into tears.

Bai Yujing almost laughed out loud, but hurriedly held his breath to hold back his laughter, and said in a dark voice, "My lord, why are you so worried? Why don't you just say it out and let me... enlighten you."

The Chu county lieutenant's face was full of snot, but he didn't know it. He wiped his face with his sleeve carelessly, and sighed, "I can't live!"

puff……

I almost couldn't help it.

Fortunately, Lieutenant Chu didn't realize that Bai Yujing quickly coughed to relieve the embarrassment. After coughing several times in a row, he pretended to ask, "Did I owe a gambling debt? Or did my wife run away with me?"

Speaking is skillful, Bai Yujing also learned it from Pei Santian, the prefect of Jingzhou. If you want to ask a question, you have to start with emotions, ask some irrelevant questions to confuse the other party, and finally get the essentials in two steps and three steps .

Lieutenant Chu cried loudly again, and his face, which looked fair and pure, was even more pitiful. He said in a trembling voice, "Not only did I owe the debt, but the woman I was engaged to ran away with someone, and the dog I raised was also misunderstood. He ate something and died, before... woo woo woo, there was a murder case in Yuhang County a few days ago, and now some people scold me when they see me, and even come from the capital to sit in a three-hour carriage to scold me Yes, I... can't live anymore."

Bai Yujing's whole body was shaking. Fortunately, he grabbed his face with his hands and did not show a smile. Captain Chu bowed his head and confessed again, which did not cause embarrassment, but he still couldn't help laughing.

He is really miserable.

Bai Yujing took more than 30 deep breaths before calming down, forced to cry and said with a mournful face: "What does the murder have to do with you?"

The Chu county lieutenant lowered his head and slammed his fist on the table, "I am the county lieutenant of Yuhang County. I am in charge of law and order and arresting robbers. The murder case is naturally related to me, but...but this time the murder case It's clearly out of my control!"

He complained: "Tell me, I am a mortal, how can I manage the affairs of ghosts and snakes? So I reported it. Fortunately, the county magistrate was very kind to me and helped me to participate. However, the Ministry of Punishment said that there was something wrong and could not come. Dali Temple said I was busy with business and had no time to go on a business trip, so I finally got assigned to the Embroidered Clothes Envoy according to the responsibilities, but it has been five days. I got the news today that the Purple Clothes Envoy who was sent went to Mobei to find some pear flower three o'clock civet for the princess! A red-clothed emissary was sent to me."

If you say that, I will run away too!

Bai Yujing threatened in his heart.

Lieutenant Chu continued: "The envoy in red is enough, but who knows when he will come? It will take at least ten days and a half months to come back from Mobei. If he catches the civet by then, won't he go to the capital to claim credit?" It will take another ten days and a half months, when I think about coming to my Yuhang County, I guess I have already been killed by monsters!"

monster?
This also makes sense.

If it was an ordinary murder case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple would naturally be unable to evade it, let alone the embroiderers. Only those cases that ordinary people could not solve could fall into the hands of martial or Taoist cultivators.

However, Bai Yujing didn't understand why the law and order of Yuhang County, where the Shaoyang Dynasty was so powerful, was not as good as that of Fenyang City?Could it be that the monster also knows to run to crowded places?Or is it because the more people there are, the more grievances and grievances there will be, and the more ghosts who died in vain?
Who can know this?
Bai Yujing has been bold since he was a child, and he has fought many monsters. His rich experience in life is the experience of fighting monsters. dealing with people.

He asked, "Monster? Are there still monsters in this world?"

Captain Chu suddenly raised his head to look at him, as if he saw a monster, "Brother, you have a sword on your left and a knife on your right, tell me you haven't seen a monster?"

Bai Yujing was secretly delighted, but still had the aura of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers on his face, and said, "I've traveled the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and I've never seen a monster with a knife or a sword. Where is that monster? Take me to see it! "

The Chu county lieutenant half opened his mouth and said, "Have you been out of your village in the past ten years?"

Bai Yujing was shocked and said: "What are you talking about! Of course I have been out. I walked all the way from north to south by myself. It's unreasonable. You take me there quickly, I can't wait any longer!"

Lieutenant Chu County sighed, feeling quite helpless at this moment, he was an official elected by his clan, but Yuhang County was too far away from his southwestern clan, and the officials in the court didn't know many, so he couldn't make it here by himself. After a few days, I have started to think about quitting, but there are too many things, and I can't get rid of it, so I have to bite the bullet.

Right now, there is no one available, no friends around, and the higher authorities are urging the case to be solved quickly, and the Embroidery Envoy is nowhere in sight.The name of Lord County Lieutenant sounds good, but now he is the only one who knows how pitiful he is, so he raised his head and said, "Go, go, go! I will let you see today, what is a demon?" !"

It doesn't matter whether he is a demon or not. Bai Yujing is here to investigate the case, so he naturally has to devote himself to the case. In this case, his identity and what he does are also unimportant.

This is also a good opportunity to get to know Shaoyang officialdom.

After the two of them finished eating, they walked out of the restaurant. Lieutenant Chu touched his wine pot and said sadly, "Young man, what's your name?"

Bai Yujing said truthfully: "Bai Yujing, may I ask your lord's name?"

Chuxian Wei said: "My surname is Chu, don't be an adult or not, I am annoyed when I hear the word "adult" now, just call me Chu Xiuran."

Bai Yujing nodded, "Good, Mr. Chu."

Chu Xiuran said: "Don't call me Master Chu!"

Bai Yujing thought for a while and said, "Yes, Captain Chu."

Chu Xiuran supported his forehead, "Forget it, let me do it, let me tell you first, if you see something messy, don't come to me to find out, right?"

Bai Yujing was somewhat excited and asked, "Where are we going?"

Chu Xiuran said: "This case is quite special. In order to facilitate handover with the embroiderer, we put all the corpses in the yard behind the county hall."

Bai Yujing stretched out his hand and said, "Lead the way, Lord County Captain."

The county office is behind the county government office. It is a separate courtyard. On weekdays, it is where Chu Xiuran handles cases, investigates cases, and works. Recently, he seldom comes back. The reason is very simple.

The county is haunted.

Chu Xiuran also murmured in his heart: "Hey, I don't have much to look forward to now. If I can spend a day's leisure, I can just spend a day's idle time. Who knows if this kid has any skills? Anyway, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch. Don't worry if there are too many, no county lieutenant would think that there are too many corpses in the house, if he dies, he will die, and he can wait until the embroidered clothes envoy arrives."

Chu Xiuran relaxed a lot, and prayed secretly: "Lingling, Lingling, don't follow me. If you ghosts like this kid, take him away."

The two arrived at the backyard of the county house. There are three big houses here. Chu Xiuran pointed out, "There are many corpses in these three houses. The dead bodies are all there, just go and see."

Bai Yujing asked, "Where is Wu Zuo?"

Chu Xiuran said: "There is no money in the house, so I didn't invite you."

Bai Yujing said: "Ah? Then you don't do autopsies on weekdays?"

Chu Xiuran rubbed his chest and said, "I'll test it myself."

Bai Yujing was stunned and said: "Yo, I can't see that you are still so powerful."

Chu Xiuran managed to squeeze out a little smile and said, "That's right, I've learned a little bit of medical skills, which can save me a lot of money. Okay, it's getting late now, you can take advantage of the yang energy at noon Heavy, hurry in."

Bai Yujing said: "What did you ask me to do?"

Chu Xiuran was stunned, "Didn't you come to catch monsters?"

Bai Yujing pointed to the big village and said, "Aren't you going in with me?"

Chu Xiuran quickly waved his hand and said, "I won't go in again. During my autopsy yesterday afternoon, that buddy sat up."

Bai Yujing exclaimed happily: "Is there such a thing? Come, come, let's go in together!"

Chu Xiuran immediately grabbed the door frame by the side, and shouted: "If you want to go, go, catch the monster and show me later, if you don't go, let's go for a drink, will it work?"

Bai Yujing gave him a helpless look, "Then don't go too far."

Chu Xiuran sighed: "This is my home, where can I go? You go, I will watch you at the door."

Bai Yujing smiled happily, and strode towards the central courtyard.
