LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 31
Song Zhen looked back at the clerk hiding nearby. The two young men quickly shrank back, saying in their hearts, "You can't see me, you can't see me!"
They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Song Zhen left their sight.
But the next second, the guy glared at them again.
Di Renjie also followed his gaze and looked at the two of them.
"Di Fa Cao, my wife is about to give birth, I, I want to go back to see her."
[Wife: The name for wives by farmers in the Tang Dynasty. ]
"My wife is about to give birth too." Another clerk said quickly.
Di Renjie frowned: "Are your wives the same woman?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes." The two shook their heads like rattles, "No, no."
"Why don't you come over quickly?"
The two clerks covered their mouths and noses tightly, and trembled with their legs close to the well.
"Go down and fish out the body."
"Ah?" No, brother, are you serious?
Is it too late for me to resign now?
Song Zhen, who was standing by, took the torch from the groom and leaned down to take a look.
Because the well was too deep, he couldn't see what was inside at all, but it smelled bad.
"Is it a human or an animal?"
"I don't know." Song Zhen shook his head.
Now there was only one way, he had to go down and salvage the body to identify it.
However, these two cowards were unwilling to go down.
Song Zhen put on the homemade mask he brought with him and gave one to Di Renjie.
He asked Miss Xia He to help make it, and there were lotus flowers embroidered by her on the surface.
It's not that medical masks can't prevent anything, at most they can remove odors. But they can be used, as long as you spray some Western perfume every once in a while.
"Forget it, I'll go down." Song Zhen took off his coat and was about to jump down while pinching his nose.
At this time, a rough voice came from outside.
"Sir, why are you here?"
"?" Song Zhen turned around and saw the honest man.
The honest man's name was Tian Qi, and his occupation was butchering pigs.
The clerks at the door saw that Tian Qi knew the two big guys, so they let him go.
Tian Qi ran over excitedly with a butcher knife, and Song Zhen quickly jumped back.
"You, put the knife down first and talk properly."
"Oh." Tian Qi smiled innocently, and he directly inserted the butcher knife into his crotch.
"?" Good guy, aren't you afraid of practicing the Sunflower Manual on the spot?
"Sir, did you encounter any difficulties?" Tian Qi naturally smelled the familiar smell, but he didn't mind.
He fled all the way from Yongqiu County to Fengqiu County a few years ago. All his family members starved to death. At that time, the whole village was full of corpses everywhere, and the stench was even worse. He was used to it.
Then, when he was fleeing, he picked up a little girl on the road, and because he felt sorry for her, he kept her with him.
Then, the little girl was taken in by Miss Xia He. As a grown man, he was embarrassed to live in the mansion, so he built a hut outside the city with other men to make do.
Because he was strong and brave, he didn't have any taboos, so he helped people kill pigs and sheep every day to earn some pocket money.
Although Tian Qi was simple, he was not stupid. He saw something wrong on Song Zhen's face.
"Is there something at the bottom of the well?"
"Yes, there is a body."
"Then I'll go down and help the official fish it out."
Song Zhen looked at it and nodded. At present, it seemed that this was the only way.
Before going down the well, he deliberately reminded: "Remember, keep your mouth and nose shut."
After Tian Qi tied the rope, he patted his head and said, "I know, Langguan."
With a plop--
Tian Qi didn't say anything and jumped in directly.
"Hiss--this Tian Qi is really brave." Song Zhen couldn't help but sigh.
After a while, a voice came from the well.
"Langguan, found it!"
Di Renjie quickly called the clerks over: "Quick, pull him out."
Including the clerks who blocked people in front of the door, there were five in total. They tried their best but still couldn't pull him up.
"Liwei, do you have food?"
It was a bit difficult to pull Tian Qi, a Henan man who was 1.9 meters tall and 200 kilograms.
Song Zhen quickly waved to the onlookers and shouted: "Quick, come on, some real men."
Ancient farmers were generally very simple and honest. They didn't even think about it and ran over to help.
"One, two, one! One, two, one! Use force!"
Hah——
Tian Qi didn't come out, but the head of the corpse, half rotten flesh and half white bones, came out first.
Damn!
The clerks and enthusiastic people were so scared that they loosened the rope and fled.
Fortunately, Tian Qi's other hand had already climbed to the edge of the well.
"Did I tell you to tie up the corpse with a rope? I didn't tell you to carry him out!"
Tian Qi touched his head stupidly.In answer, he just smiled.
The owner of this house was terrified. When the hell did a dead body appear in the well?
He couldn't help retching when he thought about drinking corpse water for so many days.
It was so disgusting!
The owner asked the servants to arrange for Tian Qi to take a bath and change him into new clothes.
Song Zhen stared at the corpse on the ground, his brows were very solemn.
Because it was soaked in water for many days, it basically didn't look normal. 70% of the body was rotten and the bones were exposed.
But why do I always feel that this corpse is a little familiar?
......
Lu, the governor, was in the carriage and whistled happily.
Damn, I finally left that Fengqiu County! He felt refreshed.
Early this morning, before dawn, he took a car and ran away.
A few days ago, the dissection of the Hu corpse made him unable to eat for a week, and he had nightmares. As soon as he closed his eyes, the Hu people stared at him with wide eyes.
He had lost a lot of weight. The most annoying thing was that Song Zhen was still laughing and saying, "Isn't it good to lose weight?"
You big-headed ghost!
When he thought of the big-headed ghost, Governor Lu couldn't help but tremble all over.
The carriage was getting farther and farther away from Fengqiu County. Lu Yang's mood flew straight to the moon, and so many dreams were flying freely.
At this moment, the carriage braked suddenly, and Governor Lu fell to the ground.
He adjusted his crooked official hat and shouted, "What's going on?"
"Alang, someone from the government is here." (The Tang Dynasty did not call the male host "master").
Lu Yang frowned and pushed aside the carriage curtain. Seeing that it was a small clerk, he asked majestically, "You are so impatient. I have told you so many times that you should not panic when encountering things. Stay calm. Stay calm, understand?"
The clerk panted and said, "Lu, Lu, another murder case has occurred in Fengqiu County. Please go back."
"......"
"Lu, did you hear it?"
"......"
"Lu, the message has been delivered. I am leaving first." Seeing that Lu Yang's face was not very good, the clerk hurriedly ran away.
That's it! ! !
Lu Yang could not remain calm. He stomped his feet heavily! Then a painful expression appeared on his face.
He wanted to vomit blood. He had just run away with great difficulty, and he had to go back again!
What the hell? Why are there murders every day?
Lu Yang couldn't help but think of someone. Since Song Zhen was released from prison, someone died every once in a while.
In the past two and a half years, the number of deaths in Fengqiu County was not as high as it is now.
"Could this kid be a plague god?" Lu Yang curled his lips.
He heard that there is a kind of person who will kill people wherever he goes. It's very unlucky!
"No, no, we have to send this plague god away quickly." Lu Yang couldn't stand it! He wanted to write a letter to the higher-ups!
Urgent! Urgent! It's urgent!
Please, quickly restore Song Zhen's status as a good citizen.
If it goes on like this, my old bones really can't stand it.
Complaints aside, the work that should be done still has to be done honestly. There is no way, who made him the governor?
"Turn around and go back to Fengqiu County."
