Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 5 Sad entry.

The New Year is approaching, and the whole Tianchang County is lively.

Every household has posted Spring Festival couplets, and the sound of firecrackers is endless. At night, every household lights up, and then visits everywhere. The New Year is a time for neighbors to exchange feelings, and it is also a time for everyone to relax and have fun.

But at this time, Hwarang was accompanying Wen Meng to pay New Year's greetings to Wen Yidao, and Yin Wucuo had already rushed back to Huainan. Even though he was such a homeless person, the mood of going home during the Chinese New Year was uncontrollable.

Wen Yidao seemed very happy. This year's Chinese New Year, Wen's mansion was much more lively than usual. In addition to friends from all corners of the country who came to pay New Year's greetings, Bao Zheng brought Gongsun Ce and a group of yamen servants. The reason was that Bao Heizi and Wen Meng were sworn brothers and sisters. .

Wen Yidao, who has always disliked dealing with the government, made an exception and drank a large jar of wine with Bao Zheng, because although he is from the Jianghu, he likes upright officials, and he prefers upright officials who are related to him.

Wenfu is lively, and Tianchang County is also lively.

And on the night of New Year's Eve, it was snowing again in the south of the Yangtze River.

This may be the last snow in Jiangnan winter.

The snow is falling heavily, one after another, and I don't know how many bones will be frozen to death.

But this has nothing to do with Hwarang and others, not because he has no intention of caring for the poor, but because he simply doesn't have the ability to care. The ancients said that the rich would help the world, and the poor would take care of themselves alone. Although Hwarang is not poor today, he can Not to mention rich, he is powerless to help the people.

Hualang can't do something, but Bao Zheng has to do something. He is the parent official of Tianchang County. The poor people sent all kinds of necessities, and gathered some refugees who had no place to live and no food to eat, opened porridge sheds and built thatched huts for them.

These things are not very difficult, and they are not even humane, because this is what Bao Zheng should do, but it is these simple actions that move the people of Tianchang County very much, because these things are very important to Bao Zheng. It's nothing, but not every official can do it, but for the common people, this can allow them to survive the severe winter, which is life-saving for them.

To solve the case, only one or two people were saved, and only one or two people were thanked, but what Bao Zheng did was something that could save all people.

Therefore, the results obtained are also different.

The New Year is coming amidst such excitement and joy.

But what people didn't expect was that sadness entered the game.

After the night of the [-]th, and the first day of the new year, every family stopped their work. They chatted and played with each other, and bought delicious food to improve their lives. But at this time, two young people walked with an old man's corpse. On the bustling street, after seeing the corpse, the people on the street were afraid at first, and then they all asked with great interest, who was the deceased and how did he die.

But the two young men were not in the mood to answer the questions of these boring people, because they were both very sad, and they were in a hurry to dispose of the corpse.

Hua Lang and Wen Meng Hua Wan'er were wandering in the street, and then saw this scene. After seeing this scene, Wen Meng suddenly sighed: "It was cold last night, I'm afraid another person died of freezing!"

Hua Wan'er shook her head and asked, "How can Sister Wen be sure that he died of freezing? Isn't there any other possibility, such as being murdered!"

Hearing the word murder, Hwarang was shocked. I don't know if it was because of his profession, or because he really felt something strange.

Wen Meng and Hua Wan'er were still arguing, but the debate was fruitless, and finally pointed the finger at Hua Lang, who saw this, shrugged his shoulders, and said: "Whether he died of freezing, let's go over and find out! "

Saying this, Hua Lang led Wen Meng and Hua Wan'er to stop the two young men. Seeing someone blocking the way, the young men didn't dare to make trouble. Hualang stopped him again and asked, "My two brothers, what is the relationship between you and the person you carried, and how did he die?"

When the two young men saw that Hwarang was so troublesome, they were a little annoyed, and said, "It's none of your business, get out of the way!"

But Hua Lang didn't move away, Hua Lang just smiled and said: "If you don't tell me, I have every reason to suspect that you killed someone and then buried the body. If you sue Mr. Bao, how many boards will you suffer first?" But it is certain!"

When the two of them heard what Hwarang said, they were a little scared. At this moment, one of them said, "The deceased is our father. He froze to death last night. We are going to bury him!"

"So hasty." Hwarang was a little surprised. In ancient times, filial piety was important. When an elder died in the family, it was considered filial piety only after a grand burial. But looking at the two people in front of him, it seemed that they were going to bury the dead hastily. No doubt.

The two young men didn't seem to be wary of Hwarang and the others, they just said: "The family is poor and can't afford a coffin. If we were rich, our father wouldn't be frozen to death. If you have nothing to do, please make way." Let's bury my father quickly!"

Listening to his words, it was indeed reasonable, but when Hwarang glanced at the deceased, he was even more suspicious, saying: "I'm afraid not, I suspect that the deceased did not freeze to death, but was murdered!"

After hearing this, Hua Wan'er immediately became excited, looked at Wen Meng and said, "Sister Wen, what do you say now!"

Wen Meng was a little anxious for a while, touched Hua Lang with her hand, and said, "Give me a reason!"

At this time, many people had gathered around the corpse, and they were discussing privately, wanting to see what Hwarang could say.

Hwarang saw everyone like this, so he smiled lightly and said: "The person who died of freezing has a sallow complexion, saliva in the mouth, hard teeth, and a stiff body, but now this corpse has an open mouth and no saliva. The foam is flowing out." Having said this, Hwarang looked around and said, "Bring wine and vinegar!"

Everyone was looking at the excitement and heard that Hwarang asked for wine and vinegar, so without thinking too much, one person hurried to a nearby shop to buy it. Hwarang took the wine and vinegar and washed the deceased's face continuously. After general washing, the face of the deceased did not show any changes.

When everyone was astonished, Hwarang continued: "People who freeze to death, wash with wine vinegar, there is little heat, their cheeks will be flushed, and their faces are like hibiscus. But everyone saw just now, the face of the dead There is no change in the body, which means that the deceased did not freeze to death, but was probably murdered!"

Hearing these words, everyone was very surprised, and the surrounding people involuntarily surrounded the two young men,
