Chapter 175 Court trial

The government officer sent to follow Dr. Yu yesterday quickly investigated the person clearly and came to report to Gongsun Zhuoyu at noon: "Your Excellency, my subordinates followed him all the way to his residence yesterday and found that he lived with a woman, only separated from him.It’s too far away and I can’t see the face clearly.”

Gongsun Zhuoyu was leaning on the desk, sorting out the case diagram. Hearing this, he asked without raising his head: "What is this person's name, and where does he live? Have you investigated clearly?"

The Yamen servant sorted out a copy of Ding's records and presented it to him: "This person's name is Yu Shengquan. He is twenty-five this year. He is a native of Jiangzhou. He has been working as a doctor in Jisheng Hall and is quite famous."

When Gongsun Zhuoyu heard his name, he paused with his pen. He suddenly thought of the men's scarf embroidered with the word "Quan" in Danqiu's room, and asked thoughtfully: "Has he ever been married?"

The officer didn't know why he asked, but he still said honestly: "According to Ding's book, he is not married and has no brothers or sisters in his family. I just don't know the identity of the woman who lives with him."

As soon as he said this, some of the ideas in Gongsun Zhuoyu's mind came together.

Dan Qiu has always been sick and has been taking medicine at Jishengtang all year round, while Yu Shengquan is a doctor with a straight face and a clean family background.The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. If things go on like this, no one will believe them if nothing happens.

Maybe she ran away from the house and hid in Yu Sheng's family because she didn't want to marry Lei Quan.

And now as long as Dan Qiu is found, the unknown male corpse will be revealed.

Gongsun Zhuoyu stood up directly and threw the brush casually into the pen holder: "Quickly gather the troops and follow me to visit Yu Sheng's family."

The yamen servant immediately took the order to do it. However, who would have thought that as soon as he left the yamen, he would see a dozen murderous men blocking the door.There are those who carry knives, and there are those who carry swords. There is blood on the swords, and it looks like they are not a kind person.

The yamen servant was so frightened by the cold and oppressive aura around them that his legs weakened and he almost lost his balance. He thought to himself that the bandits from Qingfeng Mountain were coming to kill him. He ran inside while peeing in urine, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Sir!Run quickly! Robbers are coming to kill you!!!!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu was sitting in his room when he suddenly heard the sound of a slaughtering pig and was startled.After reacting, he was about to rush out of the room. However, he remembered something and turned back. He pulled out the weapon hanging on the wall of the study room with a clang, raised his sword and rushed out of the study room: "These thieves are so brave, how dare they kill them?"Yamen, please protect the old lady until I go and kill them all, leaving no one behind!"

piece!First!No!Keep!

Gongsun Zhuoyu has been practicing martial arts for many years, but he has never used it anywhere. Now when he heard that the bandits were coming, he was extremely excited. He grabbed the panicked officer and asked, "Where are the bandits?!"

The yamen servant trembled and pointed to the outside of the door and said: "Right at the yamen gate, there are a dozen strong men with tiger backs and waists and fierce looks, full of murderous intent, everyone has a weapon, and they are dripping with blood!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu felt strange when he heard what he said.The bandits on Qingfeng Mountain were said to have about a hundred people. Since they were so bold to attack the county government office, how could they only bring ten people here? Wouldn't they be asking for death?

"I'll go check out the situation. If you dare to spread false news, I won't receive this month's salary!"

After Gongsun Zhuoyu finished speaking, he passed by the panicked maids and servants and quickly ran to the door. As expected, he saw a dozen strong men blocking the front door of the government office.He was about to ask, but who would have thought that the leader looked familiar? After looking at him carefully, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Master?!"

This group of people was Shi Qianqiu and others who went to Jingzhou to inquire about Lei Quan. They were followed by a series of masters, including the second master, the third master and the fourth master.

Shi Qianqiu was wearing a cloth shirt with blood on the skirt and a dusty appearance. At first glance, he looked like a bandit. No wonder the government officer mistook him and said, "Sir!"

Shi Qianqiu got off his horse, stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "I'm back from Jingzhou."

What Gongsun Zhuoyu wanted to know was that you had returned from Jingzhou. Those who didn't know thought you had crawled out of the dead. He hissed incomprehensibly and asked hesitantly: "Masters, you have worked hard.Just why are you dressed like this?”

There is blood on the face, clothes, and sword, and there is a lot of it. We can't go to Jingzhou to kill chickens together, right?

Before Shi Qianqiu could say anything, the second master, who was the strongest, unloaded a heavy black cloth bag from his horse, smashed it on the ground with a thud, causing countless smoke and dust, and said in a rough voice: "Don't mention it, sir, it's really unlucky., I went to Jingzhou to investigate, but Lei Quan’s family said he had not returned home.”

Gongsun Zhuoyu asked tentatively: "Then what?"

The second master kicked the black bag and said, "I was afraid that you would be anxious, so I took a shortcut on the mountain. Who would have thought that when we spent the night in the dense forest, this big tiger would pounce out and want to eat us. I was so angry for a moment., and beat it to death."

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "..."

Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't say anything. He slowly lifted up the hem of his robe, lay on the ground and untied the cloth bag. A strong smell of blood came from the shop, making him almost faint. When he took a closer look, it turned out to be...An adult tiger.

Oh my god, this is a protected animal.

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked shocked: "Second Master, you just beat it to death?"

The martial arts practiced by the second master are closely related to the Vajra Sect lineage. He is dressed in copper skin and iron bones, and his fists are very powerful. It would be an exaggeration to say that he is invulnerable, but it is not far away.

The second master glanced at Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Who said I was the one who killed him? Your senior master also stabbed him several times."

Shi Qianqiu crossed his arms and walked up the stone steps: "Don't worry, sir, it's the eyes that were stabbed, and the fur is not damaged. You can peel it off and make a coat, soak the tiger penis in wine, make medicine with the tiger bones, and stew the tiger meat directly for eating."

Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the tiger's chest and abdomen and found that its internal organs were broken.He opened his mouth again and looked at it, only to see black blood. He slowly said with a pat: "...Why is this tiger still poisoned?"

The third master has always been crazy and has learned the poisonous skills of the Western Regions. Hearing this, he stroked his long beard quite proudly: "Of course it was me. Don't eat this meat... If you really want to eat it, it's okay. Eat it."Just detoxify it after it’s finished.”

Shi Qianqiu has always been a man of few words. When he heard this, he only said four words: "A waste of natural resources."

Gongsun Zhuoyu no longer knew what to say. The big tiger in the dense forest that ate countless people died like this?!He stood up from the ground slowly, and suddenly realized something was wrong. Killing the tiger wouldn't make a dozen of them covered in blood.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was inexplicably uneasy: "Did these masters... only kill tigers?"

The second master was walking inside when he heard this and snorted angrily: "The bandits on Qingfeng Mountain were plundering on the road. They had no eyes for Mount Tai, and they actually robbed us. How can we give him money? A group of stragglers, thenCleaned up easily."

In fact, when the bandits saw how old they were, they thought they were fathers and uncles who couldn't walk, so they led people to block the road and rob them. Who would have thought that they were all martial arts masters.

With a pop, Gongsun Zhuoyu knelt down directly.

Shi Qianqiu quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands: "Sir, what's wrong with you?!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "..."

Nothing, just a little shocked...

Gongsun Zhuoyu grabbed Shi Qianqiu's arm and reluctantly stood up from the ground. He smelled the blood on their bodies and roughly estimated the number of dead: "Kill them all?"

Shi Qianqiu said: "Half of them were killed and half of them ran away."

Gongsun Zhuoyu no longer knew whether he should feel lucky for those bandits. It took him a long time to barely digest the shocking news.After coming back to his senses, he called for people to carry the tiger away, and said to Shi Qianqiu and others: "Thank you... Thank you, masters, you have hunted tigers and killed thieves. Go and take a bath and change clothes. I will order people to prepare wine and food to help everyone wash away the dust.".”

Shi Qianqiu asked: "What about you, sir?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu: "Me? I'll go collect the bodies from those bandits..."

Shi Qianqiu noticed that his mood was not right: "My lord seems unhappy. It is a good thing to eliminate these two serious harms for the people."

"It's a good thing," Gongsun Zhuoyu sighed, "Now two of the three evils in Jiangzhou are gone, and I am the only one left..."

Is this the legendary feeling of loneliness that comes from being at a high place?

When this incident happened, Gongsun Zhuoyu could only send a team of government officials up the mountain to check the situation, while he took another team of government officials to Yu Sheng's family.This kind of battle is rare in Jiangzhou, so the people inevitably discuss it in low voices.

"What happened? Why are so many government officials here?"

"I heard that a few days ago, someone found a red corpse in the ancient well of the prefecture's garden. Lord Gongsun is investigating the case in order to redress the injustice of a maidservant."

"It's true, I saw him visiting a brothel yesterday."

"Whatever, we ordinary people just watch the fun."

Gongsun Zhuoyu led the people all the way to Yu Shengquan's home.The white wall is covered with green tiles, and an apricot flower is planted half way out, which is quite peaceful.

The yamen servant received Gongsun Zhuoyu's look and knocked hard on the wooden door: "Is Mr. Yu at home?"

It was quiet inside, without any movement.

The yamen servant had no choice but to knock again: "Is Yu Sheng at home?!"

Still no movement.

Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't have any patience, he frowned and said, "Just kick him. If he gets kicked badly, it's your fault."

Hearing this, the yamen officer had no choice but to knock on the door. However, before his feet even touched the door panel, the door creaked open from the inside. The person who opened the door was Yu Shengquan.He was wearing homely clothes and his hair was a little disheveled, as if he had just woken up from a nap: "Who is it?"

The yamen servant said coldly: "Of course you are from the yamen, why didn't you open the door for so long?!"

At first sight, Yu Shengquan seemed a little frightened when he saw so many policemen with knives. He took a step back unconsciously and said with a fearful expression: "I ate too much wine yesterday and fell asleep last night. I just woke up now. I really didn't hear the official knocking on the door."Door."

After saying that, he hesitated and asked: "I wonder what the official has to do with the villain?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu led people directly into his house, looking left and right as if he was visiting his own yard: "Have any women lived here before?"

Yu Shengquan shook his head: "Sir, I have been living alone, and my parents are both in my hometown."

He was lying, trying to hide the woman's identity.

Gongsun Zhuoyu walked in and took a look again, but saw that the bedding in the inner room was indeed messy. He sat beside the bed and said, "Then do you know Danqiu?"

Yu Sheng paused for a moment before saying, "I know you. I am a doctor from Jishengtang. Miss Danqiu often goes there to see a doctor."

Gongsun Zhuoyu asked with a half-smile, "Are you two in love?"

Yu Shengquan quickly explained: "Why do you say this, sir? Miss Danqiu and I are just casual acquaintances."

Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the bed: "If you lie again, I will have to put you in jail and give you thirty beatings."

Yu Shengquan was startled when he heard the words, but he heard him say: "You don't smell of alcohol, and you didn't drink alcohol yesterday. Although the quilt on the bed is messy, it is not warm, which means you haven't slept with anyone. You have spread a lot since I came in.What a lie."

After Gongsun Zhuoyu finished speaking, he stood up and wandered around twice. Then he opened the wardrobe and checked it. He pulled out a few sets of women's clothes and threw them on the bed: "If there are no women living here, why are there clothes? Is it possible?"Dr. Yu, it’s too small for you to wear it yourself.”

Yu Sheng didn't know how to respond. The hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched tightly and his face was tense.

Gongsun Zhuoyu looked for clues everywhere, sniffed lightly, and followed the smell of medicine in the air into the kitchen. He saw a jar of medicine frying on the stove, and a small bowl of black medicine juice on the low table next to it.

I touched the edge of the bowl with my hand and it was still warm.

Yu Shengquan hurriedly chased after him: "Sir, I feel cold here. This is the medicine to cure your illness."

Gongsun Zhuoyu said: "Really? But why do I think this is a medicine to treat heartache?"

As soon as these words came out, the room was filled with silence.

Gongsun Zhuoyu saw that Yu Sheng's body was stiff and he smiled maliciously: "Doctor Yu, why do you need to lie? If you ask an old doctor to identify the residue of the medicine, you can know what kind of medicine it is for. Let's be honest.Where is Miss Danqiu hiding?"

Yu Sheng gritted his teeth and refused to say, "I don't understand what the adults are talking about."

At this moment, the search officer came over and said, "Sir, I have searched everything inside and outside the house, and no hidden person was found, and no secret passage was found."

If there is no hidden person, then he must have escaped.There is no back door to this small courtyard, so you have to climb over the wall to get out.

After hearing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu walked outside and inspected the wall. Finally, he found gray footprints on a tile, and there was an invisible blue silk thread next to it, which was hooked from the clothes: "SheHe jumped over the wall and ran away.”

The yamen servant said anxiously: "Sir, my subordinates are going to chase you now!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu doesn't like to waste his efforts. He is always good at using the least effort to get the maximum reward. He has to find the right direction to pursue: "The medicine is still warm, which means that he has just left not long ago. Besides, Danqiu has heartache.He is weak and sick and cannot run very far. Leave two of you to watch over Yu Shengquan, and the rest will follow me."

After Gongsun Zhuoyu finished speaking, he led the people directly to the outer wall, only to see an alleyway with two directions, one left and one right.

The officer said: "Sir, our troops are divided into two groups."

Gongsun Zhuoyu shook his head. When the suspect ran away, he would instinctively avoid the government: "Go straight on the left and pass the Yamen. She will run to the right."

After hearing this, everyone took the order and chased to the right. Unexpectedly, before they had gone very far, there was another fork in the road ahead.The road on the south side is wide and lively, and on the north side there are many winding streets.

The officer said, "Sir, it's easy to hide in the north. She must have run north."

Gongsun Zhuoyu said nothing, thinking that Da Yin was hiding in the city. If he wanted to hide, he must hide in a crowded place. Although there were many streets and alleys in the north, they were accessible from all directions. If you are not careful, you will be blocked: "No, go to the south."

He remembered that a strand of thread hooked on the tiles on the wall was blue, and told the yamen servant: "Pay special attention to the woman wearing blue clothes."

Danqiu suffers from heartache and is bound to be short of breath. He cannot run for long and has to rest and find a place to hide.Gongsun Zhuoyu found a teahouse not far away. It was on a very high ground. He ran up to it and looked down at the street from the outside.

Most of the people on the street walk slowly. If someone suddenly sprints, it will be obvious.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was a shameless person anyway. He stepped on the railing, rolled up his sleeves, and pondered for a long time. Suddenly, he suddenly shouted down: "Danqiu, run, the government officials are coming!"

His voice was so loud that for a moment the people below stopped and looked up.Gongsun Zhuoyu noticed a blue figure flashing across the roadside, running quickly into the distance. With a stern look, he jumped down from the second floor amidst everyone's exclamations -

"Miss Danqiu, you have given me such a hard time looking for you."

Danqiu ran almost to exhaustion and was hiding in fear at a roadside tea stall. Suddenly she heard someone telling her to run quickly. In her confusion, she actually exposed herself.In the blink of an eye, a smiling young man stood in front of him.

Danqiu is dressed in a blue cloth shirt. She is petite and thin, and has a bit of Daiyu's frail and weak figure.She obviously recognized Gongsun Zhuoyu, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and coughing, while retreating in panic.Gongsun Zhuoyu seems to be a bully who bullies women from good families.

Dan Qiu bit her lower lip tightly, her pretty face turning pale: "How did you find me?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu raised his finger and pointed upstairs: "Girl, from a high position, you can see more clearly. Also, you are seriously ill and there is no one to help you, so you will definitely not be able to escape from Jiangzhou City."

When Dan Qiu saw him blocking the way, his face suddenly turned gray and he clenched his fingertips silently.His eyes were filled with tears, as if he was about to cry, but for some reason, he held back.

Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't know what to do with the girl. Fortunately, not long after, the Yamen servant came over with someone: "Sir."

Gongsun Zhuoyu hummed, raised his chin slightly, and gestured to the other side: "This person is Dan Qiu, arrest him."

They made such a big noise, and many people were watching. But after watching the excitement for a long time, a group of eight-foot-tall men only captured a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, and Yu Shengquan from Jisheng HallDoctor Yu.

A doctor who helps the world and saves people, and a corrupt official who is corrupt and perverting the law, they all use their brains to know who the people will prefer.

One of the people who had been treated by Yu Shengquan couldn't help but said: "Why are you arresting Doctor Yu! Even the government can't bully people like this!"

As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion around him.

"Yes, how could it be illegal for Doctor Yu to treat illnesses and save people? Why do you arrest Doctor Yu!"

"I have to give an explanation!"

Seeing the widespread resentment among the people, the yamen officer said to Gongsun Zhuoyu, a little embarrassed: "Sir, these are ignorant common people. Don't argue with them."

Gongsun Zhuoyu had long been trained to be invulnerable to all poisons. He shook his sleeves and robe, bowed his hands to the people around him, and said with a smile: "I am a lower official, Gongsun Zhuoyu, who is the county magistrate of Jiangzhou. There was a case of corpses being buried in an ancient well recently.The culprit has been caught, if you have any questions, you can go together for the trial."

After he finished speaking, he whispered to the people beside him: "Go and invite that old bastard Du Si Gong and Su Daofu over."

The author has something to say: Su Daofu: Who is the old bastard scolding?

Gongsun Zhuoyu: scold you, scold you, scold you, scold you
