Wu Shiqi's mind was racing, and his mind was rapidly filtering through various possibilities.
The Zhong family is a very special existence. They have been raising and breeding dogs for Zhenfu Si three hundred years ago. Every hound used by Zhenfu Si in every state in Yu State comes from the Zhong family compound.

In addition, the Zhong family will also sell a small amount of special dogs to the outside world, such as tall and powerful guard dogs that can tear apart jackals, and palm-sized, lively and cute ornamental dogs, which are very popular at home and abroad.
With this "extra money", the Zhong family can earn at least hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. However, this long-standing family still follows tradition and squeezes the whole family into the old mansion of Hepingfang in the southwest of the city.<

There are several families like the Zhong family. They are hidden deep in the Zhenfu Division and specialize in one or a few affairs. Through low profile and loyalty, they can gain long-term shelter. They are like vines attached to a towering tree.

If it was really the Zhong family's hunting dog, it died in the street for no reason...
Wu Shiqi's face remained calm, and he quietly waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to speak, while he responded to what the official said.
"Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise, half the people in the village would have drunk the bad water."
The official of the square complained nonchalantly and called the residents in the square to come over and take turns to fetch water with buckets. They first fished out the sewage from the well, and then used fishing nets to pull the bottom of the well to prevent rotten flesh, bones and other residues.
.
"By the way, there is also this dog corpse."
He slapped his forehead and said to the two young men in the workshop: "Zhang Wulang and Qian Liulang, please transport this dog corpse to the butcher Wang in Huaizhenfang. His big furnace is specially used to deal with people who have died of illness."
Big beast, pay him some money to help burn this thing..."

"Wait a minute."
Wu Qiqi interrupted and said with a smile: "This dog corpse is regarded as evidence, let us take it back to the government office."
Fangzheng asked in confusion: "Evidence?"
Wu Shiqi explained: "Well, according to the pamphlet published by the Imperial Medical Office, the carcasses of animals that died of illness are considered as sources of plague pollution. Throwing corpses into wells is also considered as spreading the disease, which is no different from poisoning."
"Yes, yes, yes, we need to investigate carefully to see if it was the guy who was worse than a pig or a dog who did it."
Fang Zheng nodded repeatedly, enthusiastically greeted the neighbors, found two large pieces of waterproof tarpaulin, and helped wrap the rotting dog corpse into a package.
Wu Shiqi was afraid that the smell would not be blocked, so he wrapped it several times with cloth, then took the package and went straight to Wannian County Government.
It was almost evening. Magistrate Wannian had finished handling official duties for the day and was about to go home when Wu Shiqi interrupted him and took him to the backyard of the county government office to explain the cause of the matter.
"..."
After hearing Wu Shiqi's statement, Wannian County Magistrate frowned and whispered: "Are you sure that is the Zhong family's dog?"
"Nine times out of ten, yes."
Wu Shiqi nodded, "When I was patrolling the streets a few years ago, I saw the girls of the Zhong family going out in Furong Garden. They were leading this kind of dog at the time. Their hair was specially braided and their hair was trimmed.
Cherish the exception."
Wannian County Magistrate paced back and forth, he hesitated several times, and sighed: "Why do you think you are doing this? Just send the lost things to the other house. If you can't inform the town and Fusi, why bother bringing them with you?"
Come back to the government office."
"In extraordinary times, we have to be on guard."
Wu Qiqi answered calmly. The Zhong family is originally a branch of the Zhenfu Division. To inform the Zhenfu Division, wouldn't it mean to let the heroes investigate the heroes and let the heroes investigate the heroes?
"...Okay."
Perhaps because of Wu Shiqi's persuasion, the county magistrate finally nodded and said, "Go and ask Wu Zuo to come."
Wu Shiqi called for the county government official Wu Zuo. After a while, Lao Wu Zuo, wearing a butcher's coat, walked out of the autopsy room with a confused look on his face.
The county magistrate asked: "What is the result?"
"He died for about three days. Attacked by... a ferocious beast?"
Wu Zuo took off his coat, "The wound was broken and messy, but it was formed into one piece. It looked like something had bitten off the abdominal cavity. But even a liger doesn't have such a big mouth."
Wu Zuo paused and said, "Could it have been bitten by a pig-popping dragon?"
Wu Shiqi and the county magistrate looked at each other,
Pig Po Dragon? Where did the crocodile come from in Chang'an?
Wait, there really is. There is a royal garden to the east of Daming Palace...

Dang Dang Dang.
The Haotian bell rang at the right time. Song Shaoyuan, who was wearing official uniform, twisted his sore shoulders and continued to write on the book.
This is the Dali Temple government office, and his current identity is the chief registrar of Dali Temple.
"Song Dalang is still busy?"
A middle-aged man with a goatee pushed open the door and walked into the house. He rubbed his hands and said with a somewhat embarrassed and flattering smile: "Why don't you go home to be with your wife and daughter first? Just leave the rest of the paperwork to me.
”
"It's Master Liu. No, no, no, there isn't much left."
When Song Shaoyuan saw the person coming, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. The person was on the same level as him and was a master bookkeeper from the seventh rank, but his daily interactions always showed a sense of flattery. He even came to his home to give a gift a few days ago - a gift
Jade longevity lock for babies.
"Then I'll make a pot of tea."
Master Liu still refused to leave. He was making tea, pouring water, and grinding ink, and finally sat at the table, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"Can I help Master Liu with anything?"
When Song Shaoyuan saw what he was doing, he simply put down his pen. Chief Bookkeeper Liu was not a bad person, he was serious about his work and skilled in business, but his personality was a bit straight forward. He could not even ask for gifts or flatter people well, so he could not be promoted for so many years.
"Uh..." Master Liu didn't expect Song Shaoyuan's question to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment and then said calmly: "That's it, my second son is seventeen this year. Didn't he take the imperial medical examination? In the end, he got the same score as others.
, because the rolled noodles were not as good-looking as the other ones, they were dismissed. It was the same last year, and it was just one point worse. My mother-in-law and I were so worried, seeing him eating at home and having trouble sleeping and eating..."<
/p>
As the hospital grew bigger and bigger, the number of new students in the Imperial Medical Office became more and more valuable. In Chang'an, it was second only to the Academy and the Imperial College.
"This..."
Song Shaoyuan originally wanted to politely refuse, but when he saw Master Liu's embarrassed and flattering expression, he inexplicably thought of his mother helping him to enroll in Zhenzhou Prefecture School. He felt soft in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll go ask for you."
.But there is no guarantee that it will work."
Master Liu suddenly turned from worry to joy, stood up excitedly, and couldn't stop bowing to say thank you.
Song Shaoyuan had no choice but to stand up and support the other party. Just as he was about to say something not to be publicized, he heard a noise coming from outside the hospital, and several Dali Temple government officials hurriedly ran towards the prison.
Song Shaoyuan and Master Liu also went out to follow them, and when they arrived at the underground prison, they found that it was noisy and chaotic inside.
A prisoner wearing prison uniform and shackled was lying in the corridor of the prison, his eyes were white, his limbs were twitching and he was vomiting.
The jailers formed a circle around him and did not dare to come forward to rescue him - not only because they did not know how to save him, but also because of their status as prisoners.
This person is one of the Haotian believers who causes the most troubles, and he is the subject of strict supervision at the top.
