Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

Chapter 40: The Case of Pouring Night Incense in Yunze County
The hands of this burly man with a black face hanging down on both sides of his body are covered with calluses. He is obviously a person who often holds a knife, and it is a heavy knife. In addition, this man has a strong evil spirit on his body. The combination of the two makes his identity unclear. It's not difficult to guess.

Li Lianhua tilted her head, put her hand upright near her mouth, palm facing outward, and whispered to Li Lianpeng:

"Brother Li, are you afraid that this person is an executioner?"

Although he was very quiet and his movements were very small, everyone present still heard him.

Just because the people watching nearby dispersed, the two of them were recognized by the supervisors and surrounded them. They were only six or seven steps away from Yang Yunchun and others.

Yang Yunchun and Shi Shui couldn't help turning their heads to look at him, and said in unison: "Executioner?"

He immediately looked at the black-faced man.

Seeing that the officials from the imperial court ignored his request and his identity was casually revealed, the black-faced man could only sigh and said to Yang Yunchun:

"I've met my lord, the villain Geng Yongping, who was once a swordsman in Yunze County."

The swordsman, also known as the executioner, is responsible for sending prisoners who have been sentenced to death to their separate ways in Daxi.

After he introduced himself, he hesitated and introduced the fat woman in his arms who was sobbing constantly and did not dare to raise her head.

"This is Jing's wife, Liu Ruyi."

After Geng Yongping introduced it, he glanced at Li Lianhua not far away and said: "The villain and his wife were just passing by before. My wife likes to eat meat buns from Zhao Laoer's bun shop not far ahead. Every morning I I have to accompany her to buy two cages."

He frowned and looked at the body of the manure picker on the ground, "We were walking well on the road, but suddenly my wife was hit from behind. When we turned around and saw the manure picker, he fell to the ground and died."

Yang Yunchun looked at the young vendor who answered the conversation before.
The vendor met his gaze and nodded quickly.
"Ah, yes, yes, I was there at the time and saw everything. In addition, what Brother Geng said is true. Every day we see him and his wife going to Zhao Laoer's bun shop to buy buns. They buy a lot..."

Yang Yunchun hesitated and looked at Shi Shui.

Shi Shui looked at Geng Yongping and the woman in his arms who seemed unaware of the changes in the people around him with a scrutinizing gaze, and said coldly:

"Bring it to the county government first."

……

Yunze County, county government.

Under the plaque with the words "Justice and Strictness" written on it, Yang Yunchun, a big horse with a golden sword, is sitting in the first place.

Beside him, Jin Wentao, the parent official of Yunze County, half-hunched over, with a flattering look on his face,

"Master Yang, this Geng Yongping was indeed a swordsman in our county government, but he quit three years ago and went home to marry this Geng Liu..."

Yang Yunchun, as the number one expert in Da Nei, a sword-wielding guard in Daxi Palace, deputy envoy of the Supervision Department, and a third-rank official, is comparable to the seventh-rank county magistrate of Yunze County, a remote county far away from the imperial capital. , there is really a big difference between the heaven and the earth, the official ranks.

Not to mention, Yang Yunchun also holds the Imperial Dragon Order, which gives him the power to supervise and supervise the imperial officials of the second rank and even the first rank.

After listening to Jin Wentao's words, Yang Yunchun nodded, looked at the people standing in the hall, and asked:

"Just now, some of you said that two dung pickers in Yunze County have died mysteriously in one year?"

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads and did not answer, Yang Yunchun frowned and pointed casually,
"You, you answer."

Seeing the young man in the hall who was older than the county magistrate and came from the imperial capital pointing at him, the young vendor who had spoken several times before could only tremble and say:

"Return, return to your lord, this is indeed the case..."

This vendor seemed to have read a book before, and he spoke in a refined manner in front of everyone.

"Since the beginning of this spring, when Old Liu Tou from Changchunfang died of illness..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the vendor explained what he knew.It turns out that being a dung picker in Yunze County is not a despicable job like other places, but is actually a highly respected profession.

Yunze County has a special location. It has always been a mixed bag of people. There are many people from all kinds of rivers and lakes. Where there are many people from rivers and lakes, there will always be disputes from time to time. When there are disputes, there will be fights, and when there are fights, there will be deaths and injuries. This is always the case for people from rivers and lakes.

As for the dung pickers, because of their special profession, they are not only responsible for cleaning the latrines of various households in the city, but also work part-time with the watchmen to collect the corpses of people who died violently on the streets due to vendettas at night and clean up the blood stains.

There are three charity villages in Yunze County, which are dedicated to placing the corpses of these Jianghu people with unknown origins.

If someone claims it and pays the mortuary money, it will be taken away.

If no one claims it, after seven days, someone from Yizhuang will use a bullock cart to pull the body to a deserted slope outside the city before dark and bury it.

The dung pickers are nominally dung pickers, but in fact they have another identity, the Tiaolang family. I don’t know which dynasty or generation the name was used for. In short, they are responsible for cleaning the streets.

Therefore, the dung pickers in Yunze County are not something ordinary people can do.There are fewer people doing it. People who are willing to work in this industry can’t help but respect them from the bottom of their hearts.

According to this vendor, there are only about [-] dung pickers in Yunze County, who serve tens of thousands of people in the city, and also deal with those who were hacked to death with knives, stabbed to death with swords, strangled with ropes, and beaten. When it comes to death, the corpse of a person in the world will definitely not look good.

The young dung picker who died suddenly in the street today was one of the three dung pickers in Changchunfang. His surname was Yan Qinglang, and he was 20 years old.

Before him, two dung men had died in public at the morning market in Changchunfang. The interval between each of them was no more than three months. There was quite a commotion at that time, but they were dismissed by the county government as sudden illness. Because, I was prevaricated.

After Yang Yunchun heard what the vendor said, he suddenly asked: "Is there a widower in the county government now?"

County Magistrate Jin Wentao nodded heavily, "Yes, yes. I just came back from solving the case in Qingyi Town two days ago."

After saying that, he turned towards the county adjutant not far away, the left hand in his left and right hands, that is, the county chief registrar who had a different division of labor from the county chief:
"Master Wang, go see if Qiu Lingshi is in the back hall and ask him to come out and see you."

Master Wang was a thin middle-aged man with a mustache, slightly bulging eyes, and a haggard face. After hearing this, he said yes and turned around to leave the main hall.

Within a moment, Master Wang came back, and behind him, a fat man with a pleasant appearance walked in quickly.

When he saw the people in the hall, he immediately prostrated himself.
"The villain Qiu Hexin has met the adults!"

Yang Yunchun said calmly:

"Get up."

Yang Yunchun was full of official authority at this time, and he had obviously done this kind of thing more than once. In Li Lianpeng's memory, he followed Shi Shui, the head of the Baichuan Academy, when he solved the case. He always called "Shi Shui girl" and spoke softly. Yang Yunchun and Deputy Ambassador Yang were completely different.

Li Lianpeng, Li Lianhua and Su Xiaoyong were all in the main hall listening to the trial of Deputy Ambassador Yang Yunchun.

This was exactly what Shi Shui, the master of Baichuan Academy, meant. This Li Lianpeng behaved strangely and was not like ordinary people in the world, and such people were often the most dangerous.

This is Shi Shui's experience gained from participating in solving strange and murderous crimes in Jianghu for many years.

Therefore, when the other party asked to attend, Shi Shui immediately motioned to Yang Yunchun to come with him.

She wanted to look at him as much as possible!
As everyone knows, the reason why Li Lianpeng came here was because of Su Xiaoyong, who acted as a temporary widower.

This girl really likes to join in the fun.

The silver needle was inserted into the person's neck and then taken out, and he confidently concluded that the person died of poisoning.

Li Lianpeng was afraid that the girl with a conspicuous bag would suffer, so she followed him.

In addition, this was also what Li Lianhua meant. He felt that this case was not simple and might be related to the cases involving Miao Yuhu and Chen Jinlin.
