One person kowtowed, "Sir, you are wronged! The little people were indeed on duty last night, but they withdrew at the hour of the hour. Before the hour of the hour, we did our best and found nothing unusual."
Tang Tianyuan sneered, "You mean that the mountain is only sealed during the day, not at night?"
"The demons and ghosts all came out at night, can't seal it, can't seal it..."
Another person also hurriedly echoed, "It's true! Because when the mountain was first closed, the brothers who were on duty at night always disappeared mysteriously, and there were not many connected, so no one dared to work at night. At that time, the county magistrate ordered , we only need to increase the value at three o'clock in the ugly hour, and the value at the next hour at the end of the hour, and the time at night is reserved for the gods of all walks of life, and everyone does not interfere with each other."
Tang Tianyuan was calm on the surface, but he was disdainful in his heart. Pretend to be a ghost. If someone in the mountains was mining and refining gold, they would always need food and drink. Most of the former magistrates deliberately set aside time to communicate with the people in the mountains. In the middle of the night, it is a haunted place, and no one is going to hang out, which is convenient for them.
He can think of this, so can Tan Lingyin and Zhou Zhengdao.
Tan Lingyin's gold mine was picked up when he visited Tianmu Mountain at night. At that time, she hadn't suspected that there was any gold mine or not, but she just thought the county magistrate was too ignorant. Although she often pretended to be a god to cheat food and drink, she didn't believe in ghosts and gods herself, and when she visited Tianmu Mountain at night, she wanted to see what "ghosts" were in it, so that she could act for the heavens. Qingchen accompanied her to sneak into Tianmu Mountain that day, the mountain was very dark, and her eyes were not good, so Qingchen led a tour around the mountain, but she didn't see any ghosts.
It stands to reason that with Tan Lingyin's eyes, she might not be able to pick up gold nuggets at night, not to mention gold nuggets, but it was just such a coincidence. She didn't know when, when a small pebble slipped into her shoe, she shook her feet, and the pebble got into the space between her toes, and she didn't panic for a while. Tan Lingyin was too lazy to take off her shoes and shake it, so she continued to walk, she became sleepy while walking, and later Qingchen carried her back. The next morning, when she put on her shoes, she found that it was not a pebble at all, but a gold mine.
Since then, she has come up with a complete story based on a small gold mine.
Speaking of which, Tang Tianyuan asked the two to go back after he understood. Here, the three magnates of the county government got together to discuss the case. The three of them tacitly agreed that they did not mention the contact in the middle of the night, but only discussed the murder case. Zhou Zhengdao said that the murderer must have entered the mountain to throw the body after Chen Shi, Tan Lingyin said that the murder scene should be not far from Tianmu Mountain, and Tang Tianyuan said that what you said was all nonsense.
As lunch was approaching, Zhao Xiaoliu hurried over to tell Tang Tianyuan that the girl's identity was confirmed. It was Qi Hui, the young lady of the Qi family's family in this county. The servants of the Qi family were already crying in the morgue. On the way to the county office.
Tang Tianyuan didn't even bother to eat, and hurriedly went to the torture room. At the door, Tang Tianyuan saw Tan Lingyin. She was holding a big bun in one hand, and while eating, she looked into the morgue, and she was very unbearable, but the movement of eating the bun did not slow down at all.
There were bursts of cries from the morgue, men and women.
"You really can eat it." Tang Tianyuan said.
Tan Lingyin swallowed the buns in his mouth, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are all natural creations, all afflictions are bodhi, and the pure land is born from mud dung."
Such Zen-interesting words spit out of her mouth, giving people a sense of division.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, and a group of people came in. Several men and women, surrounded by a middle-aged man and woman, came in a hurry. When the man saw Tang Tianyuan, he knew how to salute, while the woman left them behind and ran into the morgue, followed by a loud cry from the morgue.
When the man heard the cry, God also grieved.
This should be the parents of the deceased. Tang Tianyuan asked Qi to enter the morgue and meet his daughter.
Tan Lingyin touched her chin, looked at the howling men and women, and whispered beside Tang Tianyuan, "Something's wrong."
Tang Tianyuan replied in a low voice, "You see something wrong too? Tell me." He bent down slightly and brought his ears closer, so that he could easily hear her whisper.
"Look, the girl's parents are not short of food and clothing, how can a daughter dress like a village girl? This is unreasonable; since she is a young lady from a big family, she should be raised in a deep boudoir, and there is always someone close by to serve, the murderer. Usually there is no chance of committing a crime. Unless she runs away by herself."
"Oh?"
"So, she must have run away from marriage."
Tang Tianyuan disagreed, "You don't even know whether she has a marriage contract, so it is too arbitrary to assert that she is running away from marriage."
"You don't understand this, right?" Tan Lingyin flicked Tang Tianyuan's shoulder. Because the two were too close, Tang Tianyuan didn't have time to escape. She went on to say, "Is there anything you have to do at night? Unless she wants to leave the house for a long time. This escape marriage must be chosen after dinner and before the city gate is closed, so that the family finds out the next day. When she disappeared, she had already been out of the city for one night, and then she had run far. Also, you can't dress too well when escaping from marriage. First, it will attract too much attention. Second, it is easy to show off your wealth if you dress too well, or you will be robbed. ."
Tang Tianyuan found that there was nothing serious in this Miaomiaosheng's mind, and he disdainfully said, "It's like you escaped marriage."
"Of course I didn't escape, how could I escape marriage," Tan Lingyin said, pushing Tang Tianyuan impatiently, "Don't get so close to me."
"That's right, there is no man in this world who would be so inconceivable to enter into a marriage contract with you."
The two of them ran away from marriage on the left and escaped from marriage on the right. When they said that their voices became louder and were heard by the other members of Qi, they immediately became furious, "You guys are not going to ruin my daughter's name!"
Tan Lingyin quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I said nonsense."
Tang Tianyuan stepped forward and said, "My condolences to the two of you. The inspection of the torture chamber has ended. You can now bury Ling Qianjin to reassure your soul. This officer will investigate thoroughly as soon as possible, and we must find out the real murderer and give you one. statement."
The two couples were about to kneel to thank them, and Tang Tianyuan quickly helped them up.
At this time, another person came in from outside, stumbled and pulled the eyes of everyone in the morgue to him.
Tan Lingyin saw that this man was eighteen or nineteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face was sweaty when he ran in. He didn't care about anyone and rushed straight to the corpse in the room. When he saw the corpse's face, his eyes were red in shock and he was shaking all over.
Tan Lingyin scratched her chin and looked at the man in surprise. Isn't this the girl's fiancé? She turned her head to look at the county magistrate, and found that his face was inscrutable.
Well, when people don't know what to do, they can usually pretend to be an expert in the world. Tan Lingyin nodded. This method has been tried and tested.
☆、Chapter 10
The young man who suddenly came in seemed very unwelcome, and Madam Qi pointed at him and scolded, "Have you not done enough harm to my daughter, what are you doing here?!"
"A-Fu, A-Xiang, you drag him out!" Qi Yuanwai ordered.
The two servants came to take the young man away, but the latter held Qi Hui's hand desperately and refused to leave, pulling the corpse to the point of sitting up, unable to break it.
Tang Tianyuan calmly watched the farce in front of him for a while, and instructed, "Come here, bring the couple outside Qi and Miss Qi's personal maid and this man into the detention center for interrogation."
King Li greeted several yamen, and together they took away the people who were supposed to be with him, and the room was almost empty. Tan Lingyin asked Tang Tianyuan secretly, "How do you know her personal maid is here?"
"It's natural to let someone familiar with the matter of recognizing a corpse come."
Tan Lingyin nodded and followed Tang Tianyuan out of the morgue. The sun was shining brightly outside, scorching all the rough and scorched wood. Tang Tianyuan propped up his folding fan to shade the sun. He looked down and saw Tan Lingyin beside him squinting and squinting. He was unkind and gloated. .
Tan Lingyin looked up and saw the inscription on his fan, and immediately came to the god, "Good word."
Tang Tianyuan took down the folding fan, "Do you know calligraphy?"
"Sir, I said that I am omnipotent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, why don't you believe me." Tan Lingyin said, hooking her fingers, and Tang Tianyuan handed her the folding fan.
Tan Lingyin pointed to the four big characters on the folding fan "Shang Shan Ruo Shui" and said, "It looks like a beautiful man."
Tang Tianyuan was shocked, "Why do you see it?"
"Because the signature is Tang Tianyuan."
"..."
Tang Tianyuan stretched out his hand to grab the folding fan. He was really out of his mind to think that Miao Miaosheng had taste.
Tan Lingyin hid with a folding fan, "Don't, don't, I was just joking, this word does have its beauty."
Tang Tianyuan stopped, "Tell me about it."
Tan Lingyin walked under the shade of the tree, opened the folding fan again, and said, "Light as a cicada's wings, heavy as a collapsing cloud, crazy as a frightened snake, stable as Mount Tai... These are all between four characters. But it is difficult. A person learns too much, it is easy to lose his heart, fall into the cliché of makeup and flower decoration or learning to walk in Handan, but this Tang Tianyuan has his own realm. I think, although this Tang Tianyuan is gentle on the surface, he is actually a dashing man. A person who is indulgent. People can pretend, but words can't. You can see his words, in addition to being awe-inspiring, there is a little bit of both righteousness and evil. Also, when he wrote this word, he probably didn't think so. Great, a little manic..."
"Enough." Tang Tianyuan interrupted her.
"Eh? I'm sorry," Tan Lingyin scratched the back of her head, "When I talk about calligraphy, it's easy to become a chatterer."
Tang Tianyuan was silent. It is rare to meet a confidant in life. It is a good thing for someone to understand him. He really doesn't mind having a confidante, but he really cares that this confidante is a wonderful life.
Tan Lingyin saw that the county magistrate's face was not very good, she was a little strange, "I said something wrong... I said, my lord, you are not jealous of Tang Tianyuan, are you? It's useless, everyone has their own fate, even if you are jealous There is no way."
"I'm not jealous of him."
"Then, my lord, are you and Tang Tianyuan good friends?" This may be true, otherwise he wouldn't be holding the folding fan inscribed by Tang Tianyuan.
Tang Tianyuan shook his head.
"Then do you know him?"
Shaking his head again.
"Ah, so this folding fan was bought. I thought you knew Tang Tianyuan."
Tang Tianyuan frowned, what's with the contemptuous tone inside and outside the words...
Tan Lingyin turned the folding fan in various ways, "Sir, how much did you pay for this folding fan? Can you give it to me?"
Tang Tianyuan was dazzled for a while, and he was puzzled, "What do you want it for?"
"This is the folding fan inscribed by Tang Tianyuan."
Tang Tianyuan sneered, "You don't secretly admire Tang Tianyuan, do you?"
"That's not bad, so what if I just miss him? A girl in the world, who doesn't want to marry Tang Tianyuan? I don't need to spend any money if I think about it."
She said so bluntly, but Tang Tianyuan was embarrassed, turned his face and blamed, "You are so shameless, you are a woman in vain."
Tan Lingyin pleaded, "My lord, for the sake of me being a bull and a horse for you, will you give it to me? Please!"
For the first time, Tang Tianyuan saw Tan Lingyin keep her posture so low, just like a fan. Anyway, this fan is not worth a lot of money in his eyes, a big man doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing, so he waved his hand lightly, "As long as you promise not to miss Tang Tianyuan in the future, I will give this folding fan to me. for you."
"Okay, I promise, in my eyes, Tang Tianyuan will be a cloud, a dung, and a dung beetle!"
