When Su Mu opened his eyes the next day, the sky was already bright. He only vaguely remembered yesterday that he went upstairs and asked the waiter to bring water for a simple wash, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.Aside from being a little sore, I feel refreshed.

He rubbed his arms and went out the door, and when he stepped over the threshold, he saw Mo Shu standing at the door holding a sword.

Seeing the concerned look in Mo Shu's eyes, Su Mu felt a warm feeling in his heart. For a young man in the 21st century who advocates equality for all, Mo Shu is a friend rather than a servant.The general care is also more moving.

"I'm fine, but my arms are still a little sore." He smiled and patted Mo Shu's shoulder, "It's you, you don't feel tired coming to my door in your own room.Facing the wall, you can hear the movement if something happens."

Mo Shu remained silent. Although he didn't shake his head, Su Mu knew that what he said was in vain.

Mo Shu seemed to be very concerned about the fact that little Marquis was in danger because of his mistakes at that time. Su Mu tried to persuade him several times, but it was not very effective, so he had to give up.Mo Shu can listen to it better.

Su Mu leaned over the railing and looked at the bustling crowd coming down the ground, and asked curiously, "Is it time for dinner?" After speaking, he realized something was wrong, turned around and asked Mo Shu, "Where are Liu Shaoqing and the others?",Won't……"

It's not because you dislike me for being too burdensome, let's go first.

Su Mu suddenly became listless. Although he was too useless yesterday, it is right for Liu Shaoqing's personality to leave first, but - he has worked very hard not to be that burdensome.

Just when he was thinking more and more depressed, Mo Shu's hand shook in front of him, and then began to write in his palm.

"He—they—went—" Su Mu recognized each word, and now he can proficiently read the characters written in ink, "County government office?"

"What are you doing at the county government office?" Su Mu was at a loss, "Is there anything Liu Shaoqing needs to do in Bishui County?"

Mo Shu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and Su Mu had no choice but to give up. Maybe Dali Temple sent them other missions, but it's still important for him to fill his stomach.

Knowing that he was not left behind, Su Mu was in a good mood. He ran downstairs and ordered a table of sumptuous dishes. He only ate some white rice yesterday, and his stomach was growling before he opened his eyes this morning.sharp.While pulling the ink book to make people sit down, he couldn't wait to move his chopsticks, but suddenly a person came up behind him, and he almost dropped his chopsticks in fright.

"But I'm starving to death! Little Marquis, you definitely wouldn't mind eating with one more person, would you?" Lu Lingjue yelled and moved to the edge of the table, "You don't even know, I wanted to go back to sleep this morning,But I didn’t want Liu Shaoqing to just call me up, and said that if I happened to go to the county government to look at the case files of Bishui County in recent years, to see if there were any unjust, false or wrongly decided cases—”

Satisfied, he picked up a piece of fried pork with chopsticks, sighed, and continued: "I didn't expect that there was a case recently. The magistrate of the county just fell into the water after breaking up.Weird place."

Seeing Lu Lingjue pause there suggestively, Su Mu continued to ask, "What's so weird?"

Lu Lingjue approached mysteriously and said: "The deceased was a lady who was pregnant with Liujia, but after her death - she gave birth to a stillborn child."

posthumous childbirth.

Su Mu silently thought that this phenomenon is not difficult to explain theoretically, but for people in this era, it is considered a supernatural phenomenon.

Lu Lingjue didn't wait for the reaction she wanted, she pursed her mouth, feeling a little disappointed, she sat back on her seat and continued to stuff her mouth to eat, then said: "The corpse looks oozing, the family seems to have come to remind me several times, Liu Shaoqing thinksI still need to take a closer look before making a conclusion, so I stayed in the county government and let me come back for dinner."

Su Mu was very interested in the last sentence: "Liu Shaoqing treats you well, why didn't you let you work overtime together?"

Even though Lu Lingjue still doesn't quite understand the exact meaning of the word overtime, she still figured out the meaning of Su Mu through the first half of the sentence, and explained with a smile: "Don't look at Liu Shaoqing's boss who usually doesn't like to smile, but it's not that fierceIt's true that you don't like to laugh or talk, but compared to our other young minister, tsk tsk."

He frowned and tried to speak, but he still couldn't come up with a definite answer in the end, so he could only say: "Anyway, let me choose, and I'm still willing to follow Liu Shaoqing."

Su Mu thought back on how he got along with Liu Xiaoran, and he also felt deeply.When we met for the first time before, was influenced by the little girls chatting, and always felt that Liu Xiaoran looked unkind and like a piece of ice in the cold winter, but later could see that his indifference was not out of malice, but justSimply no other emotions arose.

"Then Liu Shaoqing doesn't need to eat? It's already this hour."

Lu Lingjue swallowed, and the old god said on the ground: "Who is Liu Shaoqing? He doesn't need to eat or rest. Let me tell you, once before, those people from the Criminal Department sent a pile of case files like a hill, and Li ShangshuHe also specified that Liu Shaoqing should have a look at it in person, making it clear that he was bullying him. Liu Shaoqing didn't say a word, and from that day on, he stayed in the room from morning till night to approve the case file.There were seven problematic cases, and it was the Ministry of Criminal Justice's turn to go bald. In those few days, let alone eating, he didn't seem to have any rest, he was really a man of iron."

Su Mu gave a slight pause to the hand holding the vegetables, and besides admiration, there were some different emotions.

He knows that Liu Xiaoran is a workaholic, but there are people who really don't need to eat and rest.

"Xiao Er, do you have any small snacks that you can take away here? Make one for me." Su Mu called the Xiao Er next to him, then turned around and asked Lu Lingjue, "Do you Liu Shaoqing have any snacks?"What are the taboos or... what do you like to eat?"

Lu Lingjue looked at the sky and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"He eats in the same way. He never shows whether he likes to eat or not. He should like to eat."

After receiving the order, Xiao Er went down to pack up all the snacks in the shop, feeling very happy.

The guest officer was so generous that he even used a piece of silver to buy some snacks.

So before Su Mu finished his meal, Xiao Er came over with a bunch of oiled paper bags.

"Guest officer, these are all famous foods in our store. The peach blossom cakes are made of real peach petals, wrapped in red beans, and they are fragrant and sweet. And the crystal cakes are crispy, and the tongue is cool.It is also very comfortable to eat. Ah, and this lotus cake..."

Xiao Er chattered about the introduction, Su Mu didn't interrupt, and listened carefully, while Lu Lingjue, who was on the side, had already stared at the dim sum bag with straight eyes, as if someone else had just eaten that table of food.

When Xiao Er stepped back, Su Mu shared some of the snacks with Lu Lingjue. Before he could speak, Mo Shu shook his head silently. Su Mu didn't force him, and held the rest of the snacks in his arms.

"Lu Sizhi, why don't we go to the county government office to see Liu Shaoqing, it's almost noon, and we can send him some snacks to repay the favor he trusted me before."

Lu Lingjue had just eaten a table of good food and got some dim sum. Naturally, she said yes, patted on her clothes and stood up: "Oh, little Marquis, don't call me that, it's weird. Well, I mean Chen Chu,You can just call me this, and my friends around me usually call me that."

Su Mu was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated to answer after a while: "Then...my word is Yu Zhi, you—"

"Yu Zhi, then I'll call you that." After eating this meal, Lu Lingjue felt that Su Mu was really a good friend, so she hooked Su Mu's shoulder and said, "It's much more cordial this way.Calling you Little Marquis every day is also strange."

Su Mu laughed and nodded.

This is the first time someone other than my mother calls herself something other than "little Marquis", and it does sound a lot closer.

Liu Xiaoran in the county yamen was supervising the foremen invited by County Magistrate Wu to examine the body again, while County Magistrate Wu, who was over half a hundred years old and bald, was shivering beside him.The female corpse had already begun to rot, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air. In addition, this corpse gave birth to a stillborn baby not long ago, which made him feel even more weird. If it weren't for the Shaoqing of Dali Temple standing here, he would have died a long time ago.Just let go.

"Master Liu...Master Liu, there is nothing unusual about this corpse, can the family bring it back—"

"My lord! Look what we brought you!"

The county magistrate hadn't finished his trembling words when Lu Lingjue's voice interrupted him. Liu Xiaoran, who was following the corpse carefully, frowned when she heard it, and turned her head to see what this living treasure Lu Lingjue was doing again., and saw Su Mu beside him, who was holding a lot of oiled paper bags in his hands.

"Liu Shaoqing, we packed some snacks for you from the store, would you like to eat some first?"

Su Mu smiled and said that the afternoon sun was at its strongest, covering his body vaguely, and even the ruby on his golden hair crown was shining brightly.

"Wait first." He coughed lightly, turned around and continued to face the corpse, but there was a rippling in his heart that couldn't be concealed.

Su Mu threw all the cakes to Lu Lingjue's arms first, and then carefully moved to the door and poked his head out.

As a future forensic doctor, he can't say that he likes corpses very much, but he does occasionally become curious. After all, everyone wants to see what the things in books look like in reality.

Liu Xiaoran only felt that suddenly there was another person beside her, and when she turned her head slightly, she saw Su Mu who was carefully observing the corpse.

Su Mu leaned over slightly, still looking a little unaccustomed to the rancid smell in the room, frowning slightly, the bangs hanging on his cheeks barely covered his eyes, but still vaguelyYou can see thick eyelashes behind.

His expression was focused and dignified, and he didn't realize that Liu Xiaoran was looking at him at all.

Liu Xiaoran pondered for a moment, but still acquiesced in his unruly actions.

Su Mu concentrated on walking around the corpse, even consciously stopped what he was doing, and stood aside respectfully.

Not long after, Su Mu was stunned.

There were faint traces on the neck of the corpse, although he couldn't see it clearly, but he cared about it very much.

"Excuse me, is there a red oil-paper umbrella in the county government office?" He raised his head and looked at the county magistrate who was beside him.

The magistrate, surnamed Wu, rubbed his hands and asked Liu Xiaoran weakly: "May I ask who this young master is?"

Liu Xiaoran raised her head to look at Su Mu, and replied, "You just go and prepare."
