Chapter 8 A Good Man
The Qing Lisi Department's yamen was under the imperial city. When Lin Xiu was about to walk to the gate of the Qing Lisi Department, he was stopped by the yamen runners at the door.
"Who is the one who comes to Qinglisi? What's the matter?"
Sun Dali put his hands on his hips and said with his power: "Is your dog's eyes blind? Even your adults don't recognize you?"
At this time, another yamen runner hurriedly smiled and said, "He is new and has never seen Lord Lin. Please don't blame Lord Lin. Please..."
Although the position of Qing official secretary was not high, he was just a ninth-rank official who had just entered the market, but the official was an official, and it was not something that the minor officials like them could afford to offend.
Lin Xiu did not argue with the yamen runner, and agreed with Sun Dali to pick him up, and walked straight into the gate of the Qing Lisi.
After Lin Xiu walked in, the new yamen runner asked curiously: "Who is that person? I have been to the Qinglisi for a month, why have I never seen him before?"
Another yamen runner shook his head and whispered: "A relative who comes in with money, but strangely, he almost never came to the yamen before, so why did he come today..."
When you walk into the courtyard of the Qing Lisi, you are facing the lobby of the Qing Lisi and the place where the case is opened.
On both sides, there are several functional departments within the Qing Lishu Department. After Lin Xiu saw the plaque of the "Calendar Library", he walked through the corridor on one side and walked into the gate of the Calendar Library.
The document library is very leisurely on weekdays, and three other clerks are chatting and joking. When they see someone coming in, they look up and see Lin Xiu, and they all look surprised.
They knew Lin Xiu, and Chief Chen had given special instructions at that time, asking them to take care of him more often. However, after this person came a few times, they never saw him again. There was a wind blowing in him today.
The three of them smiled at Lin Xiu, saying hello, and then continued to chat.
Lin Xiu nodded politely and swept the room. In addition to rows of bookshelves, there were four tables in this room, three of which were very clean, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it were also very neat, and the last table was filled with debris. It was obvious that the table belonged to Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu walked to the table, sorted out the debris, fed a basin of water, wiped the entire table, then sat on a chair, and took out a book to read it.
His eyes fell on the book, but his mind was not there.
Awakening people like him who are not talented will not pay attention to it. Apart from receiving a monthly allowance and free access to the library, they can ask for advice and teach if they have any questions.
And the Academic Academy doesn't care what they do on weekdays.
For Lin Xiu, the biggest advantage of entering the Academic Art Academy is that he can get in touch with people of various abilities. He has to find ways to make more friends. Only after getting familiar with each other can he have the opportunity to keep physical contact with the other party for a long time.
This matter needs to be discussed for a long time. At present, Lin Xiu still has to hold Zhao Lingyin's thighs tightly, and his practice cannot be separated from her.
As for the Qing Lisi, there is usually nothing to do. Lin Xiu just needs to check in occasionally and not be fired. This also has an explanation for Ping Anbo and his wife.
Lin Xiu was planning his future, and the three documents in the room automatically ignored him, but he was surprised, why after Lin Xiu came, the document library that was still sultry just now suddenly became cooler...
Lin Xiu sat in the chair for half an hour, and while there was still time, he planned to go to the Age of Abnormal Arts to try his luck.
He walked out of the case warehouse gate and came to the yard of the Qing Lisi. He glanced at him and found that there were many figures surrounding the lobby gate, and outside the yamen, there were also shadows.
With a gossip heart, Lin Xiu moved his footsteps and came over.
In the lobby of the Qing Lisi, the yamen runners stood in two rows, and in the middle, there was a straw mat with white cloth covered with a pair of feet exposed under the white cloth.
A young man in luxurious clothes sat on a chair with his legs raised, looked at the straw mat on the ground, and said, "She hanged herself. Why did you ask me to come here?"
Looking at the young man with a arrogant attitude and no panic, the Qing Lisi Department doctor sitting above suddenly felt a headache. He rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Someone saw that Wang entered your mansion yesterday, and she hanged her to death at home today. Do you have any explanation for this?"
The young man shook his head and said, "She entered my house yesterday, but she took my money and volunteered to go to the mansion to accompany me. After the matter was done, she went back and she hanged her to death at her own house. What does it have to do with me?"
The Qing Lisi Langzhong said: "Since she is voluntarily, why do she have to hang herself?"
The young man said unhappily: "What is the saying of the adult? She hanged her and what does it have to do with me? Maybe she can't think about anything else, who knows..."
The court fell silent for a moment.
At this time, an old man kneeling next to the straw mat cried and said, "Sir, this is not like this, it is not like this. The little girl has always been clean. How could she do that with others? I hope that the adult will give her a clean girl and a fair girl!"
The Qing Lisi Department doctor was silent for a moment and slowly spoke: "Wang hanged himself and died, which cannot prove that it has a direct relationship with Qin Cong. In this case, the Qing Lisi Department will investigate again..."
This was a very obvious comforting statement. When the old man heard this, his face turned pale, as if he had been drained of his whole body's strength. He collapsed on the ground and murmured: "I'm wronged, my little girl is wronged..."
At this time, the young man sitting on the chair slowly stood up, hugged the Qing Lisi Doctor, and said, "There is nothing else, I'll go back first..."
"Slow down."
He had just taken two steps when a voice came from outside the door.
The crowd outside the Qinglisi lobby made way for a passage, and a figure slowly walked in. He first hugged the Qinglisi Department Doctor, and then said, "Sir, Wang did not hang himself, but was killed."
Before the Qing Lisi's Office spoke, he pointed to the corpse under the white cloth and said, "If a person hangs himself, his feet will hang down due to weakness. The stiff feet of this corpse means that she is very likely to have died before hanging, and there is a certain time. In addition, those who hang themselves will have their tongue tips and their faces will be exposed, but if they die first and then hanging, her tongue will be hunched in her mouth, and her face will mostly be pale rather than purple. Whether the deceased hangs himself or is killed after hanging the corpse, just open the white cloth..."
After Lin Xiu finished speaking, the young man not far ahead of him shrank without any notice.
The Qing official department doctor who was about to announce his retirement looked at Lin Xiu deeply, then asked the coroner in the corner, "Is what he said true?"
The coroner was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Sir, that's true."
The Qing official department doctor pointed to a yamen runner and said, "Release the white cloth."
"yes!"
After the yamen runner responded, he quickly walked to the straw mat, lifted the white cloth, revealing the face of the next woman. The woman had a beautiful face, but her face was a little pale, and she lay there quietly, making people feel pity.
Her face was pale and her tongue was not stretched out.
"Sure enough!"
"So, was this woman killed by someone and pretended to be hanged?"
"Isn't that Lin Wenshu? Why does he understand better than the coroner in the yamen..."
...
In the court, the Qing Lisi Department doctor took a deep breath and said slowly: "There are many suspicions in this case. Mr. Qin, you cannot get rid of the suspicion for the time being. I am afraid you will be wronged for a while."
The young man didn't care and smiled and said, "It's okay, I believe that the adults will give me justice."
The Qing official department doctor tapped the Jie Tangmu and said, "This case still needs to be investigated in depth, and Qin Cong will be temporarily detained and withdrawn from the house."
A young man named Qin Cong walked out of the lobby accompanied by two yamen runners and looked back at Lin Xiu, with deep meaning in his eyes.
As soon as Lin Xiu walked out of the lobby, he pulled him over with one hand and pulled him straight to the document library.
A middle-aged man in an official uniform frowned and looked at Lin Xiu and said, "At this time, what can you do? Do you think the coroner cannot test her to see if she is alive or dead? Do you think the doctor doesn't know that this case is strange, and everyone doesn't know, you are just smart?"
Although Lin Xiu did not know the man in front of him, he quickly guessed the other party's identity.
In the Qing Lishu Department, only his father's old friend, the chief in charge of the documentary essay, and Lin Xiu's clerical errands were obtained through him.
Lin Xiu pretended not to understand and asked with a puzzled look: "Uncle Chen, since you know that the woman was killed by someone, why don't you say it?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Things are not as simple as you imagined. Qin Cong is the son of first-class Bo Qin Wu. Even the doctor cannot afford to offend the Qin family, let alone you. If you are disturbed by you, Qin Cong will be in prison, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Qin family will hate you..."
Lin Xiu suddenly realized, then said with a panic look on his face: "Uncle Chen, what should I do now?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry too much. It should not be difficult for the Qin family to settle this matter. Although your Lin family has declined, they are still powerful and powerful. I think they dare not do anything to you. But you must also remember that if you encounter such a thing in the future, don't get involved."
Lin Xiu was taught: "I understand, thank you for the reminder of Uncle Chen."
Director Chen waved his hand and said, "It's good that you know. If something happens to you here, I can't explain it to your father."
After giving Lin Xiu some advice, Chief Chen left here.
Lin Xiu sat back to his seat and breathed a sigh of relief.
Where is the Qing Lishu? The official yamen that Wangdu specializes in investigating cases. The yamen staff and officials here are so vicious. They have no reason not to know what Lin Xiu knows.
When Lin Xiu stood outside the lobby, he realized that the Qing Lisi was very afraid of the young man.
It is best not to get involved in this kind of thing.
But when he saw the woman's body erected in the lobby and the old man collapsed on the ground, his expression helpless and desperate, Lin Xiu still felt soft-hearted.
Although I am not satisfied with my life, I am not satisfied with the sufferings of the world.
He was such a person in his previous life.
So every time he donated money to the disaster area, he was enthusiastic. Seeing that the children in the mountainous areas were so poor that they couldn't even afford to read books, he would donate a truckload of textbooks to send them. On a whim, he would give all the money he carried to the beggars on the roadside and buy all the oranges that the elderly set up stalls in the cold wind in the middle of the night, although he didn't like to eat oranges very much.
