Outside the yamen, Li Yi received a lot of gratitude from Liu He before waiting for Chu Ping to come out.
Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Li Yi couldn't help but wonder: "Bad news?"
Logically speaking, Diao Nan was dismissed from his post, and the position of the captain should fall on Chu Ping. Could there be anyone else who can compete with Chu Ping?
Cheng Yaojin came out halfway?
Chu Ping shook his head, he pursed his lips and whispered: "Good brother, are you interested in coming to the yamen to be a captain?"
Li Yi was slightly stunned, and after a moment of waking up, "It's not... After the county magistrate summoned you, he asked you about me and wanted me to be that captain, right?"
Chu Ping smiled bitterly and nodded: "It's true that I can't hide it from you. When the county magistrate saw that you were like a god to decide the case, he wanted to take you under his command. He was willing to spend a lot of money and directly took the position of captain."
Li Yi was so amused and crying, and he collaborated... Is that Cheng Yaojin me?
Chu Ping sighed: "You are convinced by this captain. Although our brothers have not made friends for a long time,..."
"Get it, stop!" Li Yi stopped Chu Ping's words and rolled his eyes, "I didn't say I wanted to agree."
Chu Ping was stunned and he said curiously: "Why don't you agree? As long as you become the captain, which one in Pingji County can't respect you three points? There will be money and power in one step."
Li Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I am not here."
It’s a joke, although the captain can have money and power, his social status among the common people is quite high. But this is a low-key career after all, and it is far less than the glory of the police in later generations, and even his descendants are not allowed to take the imperial examination.
Although Li Yi came from later generations, he thought that he would not be able to go back and would sooner or later marry here to get married. In that case, he would have to do something for his descendants.
What professional treatment is the best in the Song Dynasty? Of course, he is a literati! Although he does not have the ability to participate in the imperial examination, he must not block the road of his descendants!
So, this captain is absolutely impossible to do!
Seeing that Li Yi was determined, Chu Ping said, "Forget it. Good brother, since you have decided, I won't persuade you more. I will be the headmaster in the future. If you regret it again, it will be too late."
Li Yi laughed loudly, put his arms around Chu Ping's shoulder and snorted: "You and I are brothers. What is the difference between being a captain and me as a captain? When we solve this case, will the captain be on your head?"
Chu Ping was inexplicably moved and said that Li Yi did not act as a captain to give up his position, but he didn't know that Li Yi was thinking of a brother who acted as a captain, and his actions would be much more convenient in the future...
...
The two of them stood arm around and came all the way from the yamen to Xicheng. They were going to Xicheng to find the daughter of Gan Luzhu and asked her to go to the yamen to have an autopsy.
"Uncle Gan's daughter's name is Gan Ci, I have met her once." Chu Ping took Li Yi to a tile house and knocked on the door, "Sister Gan, Sister Gan, are you at home?"
After a while, a soft "come, come" came from the room, and then a "creak" sounded, and the door was opened from the inside.
Li Yi looked up and saw a woman with a thin appearance standing behind the door with her body covered in her hair.
The woman's appearance is not ugly, it's just a bit ordinary. She can't tell if she looks up and you'll know that she has a nose and two eyes, but after she lowers her head, she can't remember her appearance again.
Having said that, her facial features are actually quite gentle, like a woman from the Jiangnan water town. However, because her face is sallow and her gray-black clothes cover her figure, her appearance and temperament have been reduced by several levels.
In short, this girl Gan Ci gave Li Yi the first impression of her - Tu.
"Are you... Chu Ping?" Gan Ci asked hesitantly.
"I am Chu Ping." Chu Ping hesitated more than her, "Are you... Sister Gan?"
Gan Ci nodded slightly, like a cautious little squirrel. She looked at Li Yi next to Chu Ping: "Well, are you here to find me?"
Chu Ping sighed a little, "Yes. That... Sister Gan, why are you so much haggard?"
Chu Ping vaguely remembered that Gan Ci should be a beautiful girl in his memory. Now, she is a yellow-faced woman...
Gan Ci shook her head slightly without explaining. She looked at Li Yi and Chu Ping and asked, "What are you asking for me?"
Li Yi said from the side: "There is a lawsuit in the yamen that is to be dealt with. Our Feng County Master asked Miss Gan to go for an autopsy."
"A autopsy?" Gan Ci was stunned, and then slowly said, "I can't go."
"Oh? Why is this?" Chu Ping was a little surprised. "Didn't Sister Gan want to go to the yamen to take over as Uncle Gan's coroner's position? The county magistrate has always refused. Now is the opportunity."
Gan Ci felt a little embarrassed: "It's not that I don't want to take over... but I have a trouble now that I have to deal with it."
"That's it..." Chu Ping felt a little regretful. If this were the case, who else in Pingji County could know how to perform a autopsy? I'm afraid I couldn't find a second one for a while.
Li Yi stepped forward and said, "I don't know what trouble Miss Gan has. If we can help the girl cook, the girl might go to the yamen with us?"
Chu Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, yes, Sister Gan has any trouble, why not tell us."
Gan Ci pursed her lips, thought for a while, and sighed in a low voice: "Okay, come with me, and there are many people who have many ideas."
This tile house is not big, only Gan Ci lives alone. There are not many decorations inside the house, and it looks deserted and like a snow cave.
After Gan Ci poured a cup of ordinary tea for Chu Ping and Li Yi, she began to talk about her troubles.
It turned out that Gan Ci's father arranged a marriage for her a long time ago, but the man had not come to her for a long time. Gan Ci thought that the man had forgotten about this or was unwilling to admit it.
After all, it is not a glorious thing to marry a coroner orphan.
But unexpectedly, just a few days ago, the man came to the door to negotiate and mentioned the marriage again.
Gan Ci had no intention of getting married, but that marriage was the last of his father's will. Although she was a good girl, she had no sorrow or joy, she could only admit it.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! But when she told the man that she had the ambition to do coroner, the man changed color.
It turns out that coroners are just like constables, and coroners are even more powerful than constables. Especially for their daughter's family, who have been with dead people all day long and have corpses and corpses, it is difficult for people to accept it.
How can any man in this world tolerate this?
So after careful consideration, the man left three riddles to express his meaning and left.
Gan Ci is not smart and cannot solve the three riddles. He is having a headache at this time.
Li Yi sounded funny: "I don't know what the riddle is?"
Gan Ci pursed her lips and took three notes. The first one reads ten words: Boya hopes for his son, and first knows the meaning of the piano.
Most people are familiar with the stories of Boya and Ziqi.
Boya is Yu Boya; Ziqi is Zhong Ziqi. Boya is good at playing, and Zhong Ziqi is good at appreciating.
When Boya was playing the piano, he thought of the mountains in his mind. Zhong Ziqi said, "Okay! It's like the towering Mount Tai standing in front of me!"
When Boya was playing the piano, he thought of the flowing water in his heart, and Zhong Ziqi said, "Okay, the sound of this piano flows through my heart like a rushing river!"
No matter how Boya plays, Zhong Ziqi can always think of what Boya thinks. This is the origin of "meeting soulmates with flowing mountains and flowing waters".
The story is widely circulated, even if it is as rough as Chu Ping, he knows it. So he smiled at the riddle and said, "Can the man meant to attract Sister Gan as a soulmate?"
Gan Ci shook her head: "If this is the case, he would not dislike the fact that I wanted to do something for the coroner."
Gan Ci was very upset, and the man also showed his intentions for her, but he clearly didn't understand him and was hard for a soulmate...
Chu Ping scratched his head and felt dizzy. These broken words were clearly a story, so how could it be considered a riddle? It was too difficult!
Li Yi, who was sitting quietly beside him, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed and said, "I understand!"
Gan Ci didn't have much hope for Li Yi. When she saw Li Yi following Chu Ping, she thought he was Chu Ping's subordinate. She thought that even Chu Ping could not guess, let alone this "submit".
She was about to find an excuse to see the guests, but Li Yi said clearly and affirmatively: "'First meeting' is the first time we met. Ziqi's surname is Zhong, and he knew Qin (love). Isn't it meant to be 'love at first sight'? Haha, congratulations to Miss Gan."
Gan Ci thought about it for a while, and Jianshui's eyes lit up instantly. Thinking that the man was indeed satisfied when he first met her, her face turned red: "So, that's what it means."
Li Yi saw that her little daughter looked very strange. She unexpectedly added a bit of beauty when she was shy and blushed, especially her eyes with mist, which contained three-point charm in her gentleness, which actually made her seductive temptation.
If a local girl could clean up her clothes, she would have looked much better... Li Yi thought so.
"Boya is eager to see the son, and first knows the meaning of the piano. At first sight, Zhong, love, love at first sight! It's so wonderful!" Chu Ping shouted, and he patted his head regretfully, "It's so simple, I almost guessed it!"
Li Yi couldn't help but give him a blank look. Now it's simple. Isn't you the one who was confused just now?
Chu Ping couldn't guess the first riddle, and he felt itchy in his heart. He quickly asked Gan Ci, "Sister Gan, where is this second riddle?"
Gan Ci also recovered from her shyness. She spread the second note with seven words on it: Xizi Ah Man’s illness is different.
After reading it twice, Chu Ping's eyes were still shining, and the fire was turned off. He grabbed his ears and his hair, and suddenly he felt that these seven big words became a little strange.
Seeing this, Li Yi teased and said, "This question is much simpler than the previous question. I wonder if our Captain Chu can guess it?"
Although Chu Ping was teased, the "head-captain" made him feel uncomfortable with pores. He snorted and breathed out from his nostrils: "I can't guess it, you can guess it?"
Li Yi shook his eyebrows: "Why not have a gamble? Who can guess who will get two taels of silver?"
Chu Ping had a "good" word stuck in his throat. He knew that Li Yi Conghui was not willing to put it on: "If you guess it, tell it quickly, don't delay Sister Gan's affairs!"
Li Yi sighed, the world is getting worse and it is hard for fools to cheat.
He was too lazy to keep his cover, so he said bluntly: "Xizi, the beauty Xishi, who had heart disease since childhood and often had heart pain; while Ah Man refers to the hero Cao Cao, who also had illnesses and suffered from headaches. Xizi Ah Man's illness is different. If you connect it, you will have four words "Heart-sickness and Head".
"Hearting, terrible?" Chu Ping's eyes lit up again, "It's wonderful! It's wonderful!"
Gan Ci also thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was exactly this, and she looked at Li Yi with admiration for the second time.
But when she thinks about herself again, her face looks ugly.
"Love at first sight" is the man's attitude towards him, but what does this "heartbreak" mean?
