Tongzhou is relatively close to the capital, and it takes only one day to go fast, so it will arrive in the evening. ※%※%,

Before this, the governor Feng of Tongzhou Prefecture had already received news that Lu Jinping was coming to assist in solving the bizarre death of the Landeng Tianshi, so he took the court assistant out of the city to greet him.

Although Lu Jinping was the subordinate of Governor Feng before, he was already a prince and his official rank was superb, far above Governor Feng, so of course, Governor Feng had to lead him out of the city.

After meeting, Governor Feng was obviously more polite than before, so he bowed from afar. Lu Jinping hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "Why did Governor Feng become so polite?"

Governor Feng hurriedly smiled and said, "Prince, it is a blessing for me to return to Tongzhou again."

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "It's a pity that I did not visit the old place again this time, but came to solve the case. How could the Landeng Tianshi die in the woods? Has he been staying in Tongzhou for a while since I left Tongzhou?"

Governor Feng hurriedly said: "Yes, when the prince left Tongzhou, he seemed to have assigned him something to help Ma Qianzhu reorganize the Chunhualou business. He did his best and did several rituals, and these rituals did have some effect. Since then, there has been no murder case or a bizarre death. Of course, the strange thing that was burned to death by fire has not appeared. With the prestige of the Heavenly Master, the Chunhualou business has gradually improved."

"At this moment, the incident in the capital came. Of course, what makes us happiest is that you are promoted to Prince. Master Randeng Tianshi was also very happy, so he discussed going to the city to visit you. He told me that you would like to be your teacher, but you don't want to. But now you are the prince, I'm afraid that this matter is even more difficult. But no matter how difficult it is, he has to do it. Unexpectedly, he died mysteriously in the woods before he could do it."

"How did he die?"

"Yesterday afternoon, the people from Chunhualou found that he had never come back. It was a little strange. The rich man from Ma sent someone to search for him. At this time, a firewood-fed man ran to the yamen in a panic and reported that he was passing by in the woods and found a corpse, wearing a Taoist robe, and lying in the grass. I sent the captain of the bear to see it. It turned out that he was a Tianshi. He had no external injuries on his body, and his expression was not painful, as if he was asleep."

"After confirming that he was dead, Captain Xiong hurriedly came to report to me. I went there and found that it was true, so I quickly reported to the capital. After all, he was the Heavenly Master of Juxianlou, which was a great deal. At the same time, Bei Zhi sent someone to move his body back to the morgue for storage. I had sent a constable to guard the police and surrounded him and did not allow anyone to enter, so I was waiting for the superiors to send someone to investigate."

"Captain Xiong has no clue in this case. I have no choice but to look forward to someone coming from above. The one I hope most is that you can come, Prince. As expected, you are the one who sent it. Now the case of the mysterious death of the Heavenly Master is solved has hope. To be honest, I hope that it is not a murder case, otherwise the Heavenly Master will be murdered in our Tongzhou, and then I will not be able to bear this responsibility."

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "We don't want him to be murdered, but if he is really murdered, there is nothing we can do. The murderer must be brought to justice."

"Of course. Where is the prince going to start? Should he look at the body first or the scene?"

"The body has been moved to the morgue of the yamen, so let's go and see the scene first."

"The scene is on a hill not far from Chunhua Tower."

So the group drove to the scene behind Chunhua Building.

After Lu Jinping got off the carriage, he saw the rich man Ma with a few girls and Niu ** waiting there. When he saw Lu Jinping getting off the carriage, he quickly smiled and knelt down to salute. Seeing them giving this big gift, Lu Jinping quickly stepped forward and helped him up and said, "No need to be too polite, we are all old friends."

The rich man Ma smiled and said, "Thank you for your love, the villain is so honored."

Lu Jinping said: "What's going on? Let's talk about it first, especially the whereabouts of Master Randeng Tianzeng on the last day. Who is with him?"

Because the body of Master Lan Deng was found on a hill near Chunhua Tower and he lived in Chunhua Tower, it was naturally the detection range that Lu Jinping focused on.

The rich man Ma hurriedly said, "Mr. Lan Deng was fine yesterday morning. He said that after doing another ritual, he should go to the capital to find you, the prince, and begged him to be his disciple. He has always admired your Taoist Dharma, saying that your Taoist Dharma is the real Taoist Dharma, which is unmatched by anyone. After breakfast, he went out and said that there was something, and we didn't dare to send anyone to follow him, and he didn't call anyone. As a result, he never came back after going out. By the evening, there was no trace of him. So we were a little anxious, so we sent people to search everywhere, for fear that he would not come back if he got drunk."

"I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. When it was almost dark, I got news that someone found the body of the Tianshi on the hillside of the back mountain. The people from the yamen had already gone. We were panicked and rushed to come quickly. We didn't let us see it nearby, but we just blocked us under the hillside."

"However, after dark, they lifted the body of Master Lan Deng from the small hillside, and then we saw it, far away. Alas, if he hadn't done rituals for me, my business in Chunhualou would not have been getting better every day. I was just thinking of thanking him for being grateful to him, but I didn't expect that he would leave us like this. God really had no eyes..."

Speaking of the latter, the rich man Ma choked and sobbed.

Lu Jinping patted his shoulder and said, "If you have a good business, then do it well. I'll investigate the case first. Let's talk later."

"Yes." The rich man Ma quickly put his tears in his eyes and retreated aside.

Lu Jinping ordered Ye Qingqing and Meihua Neiwei to stay where he was. His forensic survey box was kept by Ye Qingqing. He took it and carried it in his hand, and walked up to the hill.

When Captain Xiong, who was in charge of the alert, was almost laughing when he saw him, he quickly bowed and arched. Captain Xiong pressed down the rope so that Lu Jinping could step over the rope.

Lu Jinping stepped over the rope, and Captain Bear followed behind and pointed at the front: "The body is there."

A few steps away, he pointed to where the body was lying.

Lu Jinping began to observe the surrounding situation. The grove was relatively dense, and besides the pine trees, it was also covered with thorns. According to the bear captain, the Master Lan Deng fell directly into the thorn bush, facing up to the sky, pressing one hand on his chest and the other hand on his stomach, curled up his legs slightly and said, "No other obvious scars were found on his body except for the thorns that were scratched by the thorns. There were no traces of fighting around him."

Lu Jinping looked carefully and found that it was indeed difficult to get up on this small hill. Why did the Tianshi die here? It was really strange.

Because there is no road on this, and Xiaoshangang is not a scenic spot, few people come here, but it is just a stone hill. So why did Master Lan Deng come here? Why did he die here?

Lu Jinping carefully searched the location of the body and the surrounding situation little by little, hoping to find some suspicious traces or residual trace evidence. But what was disappointing was that nothing was found. Because the ground was covered with grass, there was no soil or even no footprints left.

Lu Jinping finished the search and said to Captain Xiong: "After this matter is over, you go to the capital with me. We cooperated well. I will transfer you to Jingzhao Mansion in Beijing and still be the captain. What do you think?"

Captain Xiong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will definitely follow the prince to the death."

Lu Jinping went down to Xiaoshangang and did not say anything more to the rich man below. Accompanied by Governor Feng, he went straight to the yamen.

When Lu Jinping left, the water in Tongzhou had not completely receded. It had faded at this moment, but the disaster after the flood could be clearly seen in the city. The mark left by the flood, which was more than one person on both sides of the house, was clearly visible. The silt on the street had been cleaned up, but it still emitted a stinking smell.

After arriving at the yamen, there were still traces of floods on the yamen walls. Lu Jinping pointed to the trace, sniffed, and said to Governor Feng: "After the flood, there will be a plague. Have you taken measures?"

Governor Feng was a little surprised and looked at Lu Jinping and said, "Do you still need to prevent the plague? How to prevent it?"

"After this flood, there are a lot of garbage, some drowned animals and human corpses, if not buried in time, it is likely to cause a plague epidemic, and many people will die. Hurry up and find someone to bury or cremate the dead animals, including people, and find a place to bury or cremate the garbage, especially where the city gathers. There is also silt, and then find a doctor to spray some disinfectant everywhere to prevent the plague."

Governor Feng said: "We are doing this to clean up garbage and landfills, and there is no big problem. We have never heard of this disinfectant before. I am afraid that the doctor of the pharmacy shop will not know how to configure it!"

Lu Jinping said: "I have a prescription, I'll write it to you. You can quickly ask someone to buy it at the pharmacy in the city and immediately give it a torment. After cooking, spray it all over the city, especially in places where there are many people, toilets, etc. These filthy things can easily cause plague. Don't you smell a rotten smell in the air? This is the precursor of the plague. You must do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late to do it after the plague starts."

When the governor Feng heard this, he agreed repeatedly, and quickly took the medicine list respectfully and handed it to the servants beside him, asking him to hand it over to the medical officer in the yamen as soon as possible, and immediately purchase medicinal materials and make medicines as soon as possible according to the prescription, and spray and disinfect the whole city according to the prince's instructions.
