There is nothing strange about a case where only a few teeth can be left to identify the source of the corpse. It is impossible to solve the problem of becoming a headless case that cannot be solved. After all, there are too few clues left.

However, this is the first case he solved after taking office as the Tongzhou Judicial Office. If it ends in failure, it would be really depressing, but what can I do if I feel depressed?

At this time, something that made him relax.

It was a day off. Early in the morning, Lu Jinping was still sleeping in bed. Ye Qingqing had already gotten up and was sweeping the snow in the yard. At this time, the gatekeeper came and reported something with Ye Qingqing with a smile. Ye Qingqing looked unhappy and pouted. After thinking for a long time, the boss still reluctantly entered the room and came to the bedside, lifted the curtain, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the sleeping Lu Jinping, and after a while, he reached out and shook his shoulder, shouted: "Sir! Sir! Wake up!"

After shaking for several times, Lu Jinping opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at her, muttered and turned around and fell asleep again.

Ye Qingqing said, "Stop sleeping, that woman asked you to go hunting, what is the name of Tubo? I'm waiting in the front hall."

Lu Jinping sat up in a panic, and Meng didn't even have time to wipe her saliva, and said, "Is Yunzi here? Where is she?"

Ye Qingqing was even more unhappy and pouted and said, "I told you, the front hall. Look at you being happy like that. What's the point of that Tubo woman? She's willful, willful, and she's protecting her shortcomings, and is rude..."

Lu Jinping had already crawled past her, got out of bed, started to put on clothes, and said with a smile: "What do you say? Friends, what do you care about doing so much? It's not about finding a wife. Besides, when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when the people are careful, there will be no friends. You can't be too smart. Make friends with a rare confusion. Moreover, they are from the Western Regions, but they are different from those literati and poets in the Middle Earth of the Tang Dynasty. I think it's pretty good."

"It's great, it's great, they Tubo will always meet us in war. It's great that you can also go with their envoys." Ye Qingqing stood up to serve him in his clothes, muttering again.

"In my eyes, there are no envoys, only friends. We experienced the life and death earthquake in Huashan together, and we are life and death friends. As for the others, it is not within my consideration."

"Since that's the case, why are you still wearing this robe? She came to you to hunt, why don't you change your short-dressing clothes?"

"Oh? Hunting?" Lu Jinping's eyes brightened even brighter, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Ye Qingqing gave him annoyed look: "I haven't said it earlier? I said it as soon as I came in. You didn't hear it yourself."

"Is that so? Oh, I was sleeping so hard that I probably didn't hear it." Lu Jinping said with a smile.

"It's not that you didn't hear it. When you heard her name, you were so happy that you forgot everything!" Ye Qingqing said with a pouted mouth.

Lu Jinping intimately twisted her tender little face and said, "Okay, can you still be jealous of her?"

"Jealous? What does jealousy mean?" Ye Qingqing looked at him in confusion.

Lu Jinping then remembered that although the word jealous began with the story of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling of the Tang Dynasty, it was not used as a synonym for jealousy between men and women in the Tang Dynasty. So Ye Qingqing didn't know the meaning of the word, so she smiled and said, "It's just that I'm not happy with her."

"That means. Of course I am unhappy, no, of course I am jealous!" Ye Qingqing said seriously. "I am just unhappy that you are with her. Her unruly woman from Tubo in the Western Regions is not worthy of our Lord, and she will never be able to get the emperor's title in the future. Wouldn't the Lord be troublesome? The Lord still expects you to carry forward the Lu family and restore the glory of your ancestors. What if the Lord be unable to get the title, what should I do?"

Lu Jinping was stunned. It seemed that Ye Qingqing didn't know what jealousy meant, nor did she be jealous of Yunzi. Her little head was just who was suitable to be her young grandma's master, rather than being the young grandma herself.

No wonder she was just fourteen years old. In ancient times, women were far less precocious than women in modern society. So unless they were ordered by their parents to get married, they would still be ignorant of their relationship between men and women, so how could they be jealous?

Lu Jinping said: "Don't worry, I just think she is a friend, but I never thought of finding her as my wife."

"Really?" Ye Qingqing suddenly became happy.

Lu Jinping nodded and turned around: "Since you are going out to hunt, then change me to a hunting outfit."

Although Lu Jinping was already a seventh-rank official, he had just become a leader and was concentrating on redeeming the antique furniture from his previous life, so he did not have the money to buy the so-called hunting special clothing. Ye Qingqing quickly found him a set of short-dressing clothing. The Tang Dynasty had already introduced the Hu clothing of the northern nomadic peoples, namely narrow-cuff tight-fitting clothes, commonly known as "short-dressing".

After washing and changing his clothes, Lu Jinping pushed the door open. A gust of cold wind blew, not only shivered, but when he looked up, he saw that the silver-white world in the yard was already thick with snow on the ground. However, the snow on the path leading to the gate had been swept out. It seemed that Ye Qingqing should have swept it, because the maid and the mother-in-law were all in the front yard, and he and Ye Qingqing were the only ones in the inner yard.

"It snowed last night?" Lu Jinping looked at the silver-covered yard in amazement and asked happily.

"Yes, I got off in the middle of the night and stopped until dawn."

"It's so great!" Lu Jinping exclaimed. He was born in the south through time and rarely saw snow, let alone saw such a half-foot-thick snow.

"Yes, looking at the gloomy sky, it might be snowing today. It's better to go there another day, otherwise it will snow, let alone hunting, I'm afraid I can't even see the road."

"It's okay, it's because it snows heavily, so animals have nowhere to hide. Maybe it's a good time to hunt. By the way, you have good martial arts skills, how about your ability to shoot archery?"

Ye Qingqing felt a little embarrassed: "I have never practiced archery, I have only practiced sleeve arrows. At most, I can shoot one foot away. No matter how far I am, there is no lethality."

"It doesn't matter, Yunzi and the others should be able to shoot arrows. They came from Tubo, and riding horses and archery on the grassland is a basic skill. Moreover, in Huashan, I saw Yunzi using a soft whip called "Guduo". It can throw out a stone and hit it far away. Judging from the strength, it's probably not worse than a bow or arrow."

"That's useless. At most, it's just for chasing cattle and sheep when grazing."

Lu Jinping didn't say much to her. Knowing that she had a prejudice against Yunzi, he stepped out and walked through the courtyard to the gate of the inner house. He saw the maid and mother-in-law in the front yard sweeping the snow on the floor with a big broom. When he saw him coming out, he quickly laughed and called "Sir!" at the same time, standing in a stern manner, waiting for him to come over.

Lu Jinping nodded and showed up. When he arrived at the flower hall, he saw Yunzi and his brother Yunjiu discussing hunting happily. Seeing Lu Jinping coming in, Yunzi quickly stood up and said, "Sir! We promised last time, let's find time to hunt. It just so happened that you can't rest today. It's another heavy snow. It's a good time to hunt. There is nowhere to hide in the snow and wild beasts. So I came to hunt you. Let's go!"

Lu Jinping said, "Okay, but I have never hunted before. But no, it depends on you."

"Don't worry, hunting is simple. I'll teach you. It'll be there soon."

"Okay, do you want me to bring some people with me?"

"No, these people in your house are basically useless, and hunting is of no use at all. Just follow me. The ten Tubo warriors I brought are all good at picking one in a hundred. And they are very good at hunting. Just take them with you."

Ye Qingqing raised his eyebrows: "I want to go too! I will go wherever the lord goes!"

Yunzi looked at her sideways and wanted to say no. But he also knew that this was Lu Jinping's personal maid, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary. If they were stopped, they were afraid that Lu Jinping would be unhappy and did not say anything.

Lu Jinping said: "Okay, wherever I go, I will go wherever I kiss Xiao Qingqing."

After hearing what Lu Jinping said, Ye Qingqing smiled proudly and made a face at Yunzi. Yunzi pretended not to see it.

Lu Jinping was afraid that the two women would squat, so he quickly changed the topic and asked Yunzi: "Where is your master? Will he go?"

"My master doesn't go. He is not interested in hunting and says that monks do not kill animals."

"That's true. Let's go."

After agreeing, Lu Jinping immediately ordered the preparation of horses, prepared dry food and drinking water, brought Ye Qingqing with him, and led the horse out. He saw that there were already ten Tubo warriors outside the gate, each wearing strong suits, very majestic. Two of them had two majestic falcons on their shoulders. The curved pointed mouths and cold eyes made people shudder.

He then got on his horse and rode his horse toward the outside of the city.

They went to Xishan, where the jungle was not too dense and the grassland had a wide view, which was more suitable for horseback hunting. Both places may hide two preys from the jungle and grassland.

After riding his horse for an hour, he arrived at the hunting ground that Yunzi was optimistic about.

Ten warriors began to ride horses to drive away the prey hidden in the jungle and grasslands. In ancient times, there was no sense of animal protection, and the weapons of hunting were behind. There was no way to hunt animals on a large scale, so this era was considered a paradise for wild animals. Just by driving them away, a lot of prey was quickly driven out, including big elk, yellow sheep, foxes, small hares, pheasants, etc. It was particularly conspicuous to look in the snowfield.

Yunjiu pulled out his bow and shot arrows continuously. He was really shot without any mistakes, and in a moment he shot down seven or eight prey.

Lu Jinping couldn't help but smacked his tongue. Seeing this boy's stout figure, he thought he was just a hard skill. He didn't expect that the bow and arrow were so skillful and accurate. No wonder the Tubo army and the Tang army were almost equally matched. His bravery and good fighting can be seen from Yunjiu.

Ye Qingqing stopped doing it and said with a small mouth: "I said I came to hunt together. I knew that our Lord Sir could not hunt, but I just spent my own fun. What's the point? If I had known, we wouldn't have come! You guys will play by yourself!"

Yunzi felt a little embarrassed and smiled apologetically, staring at his brother Yunjiu: "I have agreed to accompany the Lord to hunt. You have finished fighting. What will Lord to fight?"

Yunjiu quickly put away the bow and arrow, smiled silly and said to Lu Jinping: "Sorry, I forgot when I hunt. I won't fight anymore, Sir, come!"

"I don't know. Just watch you fight, it's quite fun." Lu Jinping said with a smile.

"It's really fun to fight by yourself. Come on, I'll teach you!" After that, he ordered the follower to take a bow and said, "Sir, this bow is relatively soft. You probably can't do your strength. If you can't pull the hard skills, just use this bow." After that, he handed it to Lu Jinping.

Lu Jinping took it. He imitated Yunzi and pulled the bow. He felt that it was okay. He could use all his strength to pull it.

Yunzi began to teach him how to pull the bow and shoot arrows, and while saying it, he signaled. After Lu Jinping learned for half an hour, he could already shoot the arrows skillfully in the direction he wanted to shoot. Although he could not judge the amplitude and advance amount, the general direction was accurate. However, Lu Jinping did not shoot a single prey that was chased by the warrior.

It’s easy to understand that these animals are running fast, not dead targets. If you want to shoot fast moving prey, you can’t do it by practicing archery for half an hour.

Yunzi saw that he was a little discouraged. His eyes rolled and said, "This way, I will let the prey run slower, you chase after you and shoot. Chase from behind and shoot straight, so that you can be more confident."

After saying that, Yunzi raised his hand, and there was a half-fold soft whip in his hand. It was the bone flower that Tubo shepherds often used to grazing. He took out a round stone the size of a pigeon egg from the embroidery bag on his waist and placed it in the middle of the soft whip. He swung it a few times in the air and flew out towards a running stag in the distance. The stone drew an arc and accurately hit the front hip of the buck.

The bucks rushed forward and rolled a few times on the snow. They got up with difficulty and ran forward, but fell down again, stumbled forward. The speed was much slower.

Yunzi hurriedly said to Lu Jinping: "Hurry! Hurry up and catch up and shoot it to death with an arrow!"

Lu Jinping chased after the horse, and the buck obviously felt the danger approaching, but its front leg was injured and it was difficult to run. Lu Jinping chased after the horse, and had already reached the back of the buck and pulled the bow with an arrow and aimed at the buck's back.

The two were almost next to each other, and Lu Jinping thought that if he couldn't even hit the shot like this, he would be really useless.

However, just as he was about to shoot the arrow, the stag seemed to know that the deadline was coming, so she stopped running away and crawled on the ground, looking back at Lu Jinping, her eyes full of sadness and pain, and even tears in her eyes could be seen.

Lu Jinping froze, and his horse stopped automatically and stood next to the buck. Lu Jinping kept pulling the bow and aiming it at the buck, but he did not shoot an arrow for a long time.

At this moment, the buck seemed to see Lu Jinping's unbearableness, and seemed to see the vitality in it. He stood up with difficulty and limped forward.

Yunzi was very surprised, and rode his horse over, arrived next to Lu Jinping, and said, "Why don't you shoot arrows? Shoot quickly. Haven't you learned it yet?"

Lu Jinping sighed, let go of the longbow, handed it to Yunzi, and said, "It's quite pitiful, why do you have to hurt a life?"

"You, your elm-head, come out to hunt, and you still feel sorry for these wild beasts. What else can you do to fight?"

Ye Qingqing, who was following behind, immediately glared and said, "Our lord is kind-hearted and cannot bear to kill. This is a good thing. Whoever is like you, shouldn't get happiness from hunting and killing!"

Yunzi ignored her, just looked at Lu Jinping, and looked very strange, saying, "You don't kill? Then why are you still eating beef and mutton?"

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "It's not that I don't kill. I just thought it was quite pitiful, so I didn't shoot it to death. This is not the same as killing."

Yunzi turned his head and looked at the buck who had limped away and said, "Its front leg has been seriously injured by me. If you don't kill it, you are afraid that it will not be able to escape the hunting of the jackals, tigers and leopards, and will die sooner or later!"

"That's not something I'm considering. It seems that I'm not born a good hunter. You'd better play by yourself. I'll just watch it."

Yunzi said, "It's obviously just for you to come out to play. If you don't play now, just us hunting, what's the point." Her eyes rolled a few times, "Or why don't we go hunting, let's race horses?"

"Horse racing? OK. But my horsemanship is not very good."

"It's okay, I'll ask you to run an arrow first and then chase you. Let's target the small hill over there to see who will run there first."

When Lu Jinping heard that she wanted to run away an arrow before chasing him, he immediately aroused his competitive spirit and said, "Okay! Since that's the case, let's take a look!"

After that, before Yunzi could answer, he beat a horse and whipped it, and ran towards the hill.

This is a relatively flat snow field. Although the snow is deep, the horse's hooves are flying and they still run faster. In a blink of an eye, an arrow ran out. Yunzi laughed: "Okay, I'm chasing you!"

Immediately rode my horse and chased me.

The two horses ran forward one in front and the other behind, and the distance gradually shortened.
