    Chapter 202 Gongsun Jiji feels wronged

    Even if Gongsun Zhuoyu does autopsy and handles cases, he has never encountered such an evil thing.He was rarely startled, and after realizing it, he ran out in a hurry. Who would have thought that he would collide with Wen Zhongqing who was chasing after him.

    "Ouch!"

    Wen Zhongqing, who was not as skilled in martial arts as Gongsun Zhuoyu, was knocked to the ground and thrown backwards, with stars in his eyes.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu broke out in a cold sweat. When he saw Wen Zhongqing, he picked him up from the ground, pointed inside and asked, "What is there in that room?!"

    Wen Zhongqing was confused and subconsciously looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a female corpse lying on the ground with her mouth wide open, smiling miserably to herself. She turned pale with fright and screamed: "There isGhost ah ah ah ah ah!”

    He screamed and rolled back, and his voice directly attracted the yamen on duty. A group of people immediately ran over from the front hall and surrounded the bedroom. The swords on his waist were unsheathed.

    "What happened?"

    "Where did the Yamen come from?"

    Everyone looked around in confusion, but when they saw the female corpse lying under the nave, their voices suddenly stopped and fell into a deathly silence.

    The unitary hour has passed, and the government officials should have gone home after their duties, but now they had no choice but to gather in the court hall.There were candles burning on the candlesticks, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the normally solemn lobby even more ghostly.

    There were no people watching the excitement outside.

    A cold female corpse was kneeling in the hall.

    Her figure seemed to be fixed by something, and she kept kneeling on her knees, clasping her hands together, and looking up at the sky.The corners of the mouth formed a strange arc due to the excessive tear.Her face was covered with bruises and her expression was horrified and distorted. After the wax solidified, her mouth was stretched wide, and a length of the wick was exposed.

    A woman is like a human candle, as long as the wick is lit, it will begin to burn.

    It is said that if you look up three feet above your head, there is a god, but she looked around and could not see where she came from.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu couldn't even sit on the chair. It seemed like there were nails and it was uncomfortable no matter how he sat.He habitually wanted to shoot the gavel, but realized something was wrong and threw it back. He pointed at Wen Zhongqing and said, "You, you, you...turn her around, don't face me."

    Wen Zhongqing was very frightened. He kept shaking his head and waving his hands: "Big, big... Sir, this subordinate is scared."

    "You bastard," Gongsun Zhuoyu glared and slammed the table angrily, "I haven't even asked you where this body came from, but you became scared first!"

    Wen Zhongqing's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground with a pop: "Sir, I really don't know where this body came from. This woman has never been seen in the entire Jingzhao Mansion."

    The officer on the side also nodded: "Yes, sir, my subordinates have never seen this woman. Could it be that someone deliberately killed her and then threw her here as a provocation?"

    Only Ye Wuhen can do this kind of provocation to the government, but he is still on death row and is seriously injured. He will be beheaded next month.Furthermore, he is a chivalrous man and should not attack a weak woman.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu still felt panicked, so he simply walked down from the courtroom and glanced at Wen Zhongqing: "Where is Wu Zuo?"

    This corpse was no ordinary evil body, and he didn't really want to examine it himself.

    Wen Zhongqing swallowed and said with difficulty: "Sir, his wife is about to give birth. She disappeared as soon as the Youshi period came. I'm afraid she won't be able to find her again."

    Amitabha.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu thought to himself that he really hit a ghost today, who could be so idle and throw corpses everywhere.He rolled up his sleeves, extremely annoyed, frowned and ordered Wen Zhongqing: "Go and get all the things for the autopsy."

    Wen Zhongqing was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu glared at him: "If you don't go, I'll let you do the autopsy!"

    Wen Zhongqing did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately ordered someone to fetch the two men who performed the autopsy.A bunch of government officials gathered around and witnessed Gongsun Zhuoyu putting on cloth gloves and then playing with the body with an expression as though he was dead.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu touched the back of the female corpse's head, followed the spine, and finally touched a hard object. He ordered someone to hold a candle to take a look, and then he discovered the clue.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu pushed back the hair of the female corpse and used tweezers to operate it. Hearing a soft clang sound, he actually pulled out a steel nail from the back of the neck. The woman's head finally stopped being stiff and tilted upward, and hung slightly.But his mouth was still open.

    Everyone was shocked when they saw this. Who could be so vicious, and his methods were too cruel.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu endured the discomfort and continued to examine, and finally found nails in the joints of the limbs of the body. However, it had been too long since the body had been dead, and it was difficult to bend the body back to its normal posture after the nails were pulled out.

    Wen Zhongqing was taking notes beside him, scared and curious: "Sir, how did this woman die?"

    Gongsun Zhuoyu pressed the woman's chest and abdomen, and it became hard and swollen: "Maybe she was poured with wax oil and scalded to death."

    He tried to remove the wax block from the woman's mouth, but gave up when he thought it might tear the mouth wound.

    Gongsun Zhuoyu said to Wen Zhongqing: "Put up this woman's portrait tomorrow and check her identity first. It's getting late. Let's go back to our homes. We will continue the investigation tomorrow."

    After saying this, he took off his gloves and ran to the well in the backyard to get water and wash his hands.When everyone saw the dark sky outside, they were frightened and left the government office in twos and threes, as if running for their lives.

    Wen Zhongqing was forced to stay here for portraits.He gritted his teeth and glanced at the corpse, then turned his head horribly, pulled out the rice paper from the table with a trembling voice, and dipped his pen in ink.Take a look at the woman and draw a stroke. Take a look and draw a stroke.

    And here, Minister Hong had just come out of the palace and suddenly heard that Gongsun Zhuoyu had captured his precious son. His expression immediately changed. He got on the carriage and ordered his servants to rush to Jingzhao Mansion. Who would have thought that he would be caught halfway?People stopped.

    The driver hurriedly reined in the reins and let out a sigh. Seeing a luxuriously decorated carriage parked in front of him, he subconsciously looked inside the curtain and said, "Master, the road ahead is blocked."

    Hong Shilang frowned, thinking about Hong Wentao in his heart, and his tone became anxious and impatient: "Tell him to get out of the way quickly."

    The coachman hesitated: "Sir, it seems he is Deputy Envoy Wu of the Jinglu Department..."

    As the deputy envoy of the Jinglu Department, Wu Yue often walks around, and his face is somewhat recognizable.He was sitting on the shaft of the carriage with his sword in his arms, staring at the carriage driver with a pair of dark eyes, his expression as calm as ever.

    "Wow——"

    When Shilang Hong heard the word Jinglusi, he suddenly lifted the curtain. He raised his eyes and took a closer look. He saw that it was Wu Yue who was driving in the carriage opposite, and his heart skipped a beat.

    Wu Yue was a close confidant of Du Lingchun. He was sitting outside driving the car, so it was self-evident who was sitting inside.

    Hong Shilang raised his voice slightly and asked, "May I ask who you are, Mr. Du?"

    The words fell, but no one answered quietly.

    Seeing this, Minister Hong hesitated for a moment, but he had no choice but to get out of the carriage, trotted all the way to the other party's carriage, held his hands through the curtain, and asked with a smile: "May I ask, are you Mr. Du?"

    The carriage finally made some movement.But the curtain was slowly lifted up by a slender hand, revealing a slightly feminine face, which was Du Lingchun.He closed his eyes lightly and said hello without any emotion: "Master Hong, what a coincidence, where are you going?"

    Hong Shilang didn't understand the key for a while, so he answered vaguely: "There is something urgent, I have to go to Jingzhao Mansion."

    Du Lingchun was stunned, and then asked: "What's the emergency?"

    Those who can reach high positions in the officialdom are all talented people.Hong Shilang thought that Gongsun Zhuoyu was promoted by Du Lingchun. Could it be that the other party was intercepting him here to support him?Faintly unsure, he could only smile and say: "The dog is innocent and has been involved in a lawsuit, so I rushed over to have a look."

    Du Lingchun raised his slender eyebrows, lowered his eyes, and said casually: "It is said that it is the father's fault if he fails to educate his children. Although Mr. Hong loves his son very much, he should not spoil him too much, otherwise it will spread to His Majesty's ears.Being impeached by the official censor, wouldn't it harm your son?"

    After speaking, he said calmly: "Young man, it's better to suffer some hardships."

    Du Lingchun lowered the curtain and told Wu Yue: "It's getting late, let's go."

    Wu Yue raised his whip and whipped it, making a sharp sound in mid-air, and drove away in the carriage.Shilang Tuliu Hong stood there, frowning, secretly thinking about the meaning of Du Lingchun's words.

    Seeing this, the coachman asked aloud: "Master, are you still going to Jingzhao Mansion?"

    Hong Shilang fluttered his sleeves and sighed heavily: "I'm not going, I'm going back home!"

    Du Lingchun was clearly here to support Gongsun Zhuoyu. He couldn't bring up his whole family for a rebellious son. Besides, the noble man was pregnant with dragon descendants and was struggling in the palace. Why should he offend the Du siblings.It's just that the old lady at home dotes on her grandson, so I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble.

    The carriage gradually drove away. Wu Yue looked back and said through the curtain: "Company, they left."

    Du Lingchun sat inside, without raising his eyelids, and said, "I know."

    Hong Shilang is a smart man, so naturally he can't have a conflict with him.Furthermore, Hong Wentao was imprisoned and tortured to death, but was released within a few days.

    Wu Yue asked: "Sir, are you going back home?"

    After hearing this, Du Lingchun placed the tea cup heavily on the low table at hand, and said with difficulty in distinguishing between joy and anger: "Go to Jingzhao Mansion."

    Gongsun Zhuoyu caused such a big mess on his first day in office.The Hong family is easy to get along with. If he hadn't secretly sent someone to pay attention, I'm afraid that tomorrow's impeachment memorial would be full of imperial papers.

    The previous Jingzhao Yin resigned and was dismissed after he was tired of sitting on his butt. If Gongsun Zhuoyu was fired on the second day after taking office, wouldn't it be a joke?

    Coincidentally, when Gongsun Zhuoyu walked out of the gate of the government office, he happened to see a familiar carriage parked at the door. He guessed it was Du Lingchun, and immediately opened the curtain and sat in. His voice was surprised: "Company?"

    Du Lingchun sat inside, raised his eyelids after hearing this, and said in a bad tone: "It turns out to be Mr. Gongsun. How do you feel about the new official taking office today?"

    Every time he calls Gongsun Zhuoyu Lord Gongsun, he must be acting strangely.

    But Gongsun Zhuoyu was so frightened by the corpse today that he couldn't react. Hearing this, he really thought Du Lingchun was caring about him, so he immediately buried his face in his arms with tears in his eyes: "Company."

    Rub, rub, rub, rub.

    Du Lingchun couldn't resist, he pushed twice but couldn't push away. He looked embarrassed and scolded him in a low voice: "Gongsun Zhuoyu, I haven't caused you any trouble, but you are crying and feeling aggrieved!"

    The author has something to say: Gongsun Zhuoyu: QAQ, people are afraid
