Zhao Jingyun knelt down and looked at Zhang Yuan's body. Zhang Yuan's clothes were in tatters. From head to toe, there were almost signs of being whipped. His abdomen and lower body were whipped extremely hard.
At a glance, one can tell that the perpetrator intends to torture Zhang Yuan, and is especially resentful of him... as a man, he is responsible for reproducing offspring.
This just corresponds to Ah Shu’s death.
The people in the village are good at riding horses, and almost all adult men have riding whips hanging around their waists. Everyone knows this.
All this was arranged by the Liu family.
Even though Zhao Jingyun thought he didn't know the inside story, when he saw Zhang Yuan like this, he would also infer that Zhaizi was involved.
Zhang Yuan's two feet were broken, and his toes had long been ulcerated, and even the bones were exposed. This was to prevent Zhang Yuan from moving his body.
There were many small wounds on the legs, and the skin and flesh were torn off with sharp tools. The knees were hit by something heavy and are now a bloody mess.
"grown ups."
The old man from the government office arrived. He saluted Zhao Jingyun and immediately took out the tools to conduct an autopsy.
With Wu Zuo at his side to help, Zhao Jingyun soon learned the cause of Zhang Yuan's death.
"What Zhang Yuan is holding in his palm is his own ribs."
Wu Zuo opened Zhang Yuan's hand, took out a sharp bone, and then opened Zhang Yuan's right chest and abdomen to find the broken rib.
Two bones can fit together.
Zhao Jingyun couldn't help but ask: "He took this out himself?"
Wu Zuo nodded: "The rib was broken first, and then the broken part pierced the flesh and blood. Zhang Xiucai broke a piece and held it in his hand."
"Sir, please see, the scratches on Zhang Xiucai's fingers are consistent with the sharp edges of the broken ribs."
Zhao Jingyun frowned.
Wu Zuo continued: "The wound on Zhang Yuan's neck was the cause of his death, and the wound was cut from the ribs in his hand."
Wu Zuo carefully placed the broken ribs and the rib fragments taken out of Zhang Yuan's neck wound on the white cloth. These will become evidence in the autopsy in the future.
These few things alone can prove that Zhang Yuan committed suicide.
"Stop looking." A voice sounded from Zhao Luoyang's mind.
Zhao Luoyang pursed her lips. She had seen many dead people on the road. She had even killed someone with her own hands, but she still couldn't bear to see Zhang Yuan's body.
My stomach was churning.
Because Zhang Yuanwei was so miserable that he didn't have an inch of good skin or flesh on his body.
It seemed that the most cruel methods were used on him, and no harsher measures were used, just to keep him alive.
Before, she thought that Zhang Yuan's half-open eyes were just a sign of his death, but after careful inspection, she realized that one of his eyes had been gouged out.
She didn't know Zhang Yuan at first, but she had read the books annotated by Zhang Yuan before, and some of them were modified and copied by Zhang Yuan himself after reading them.
The handwriting was straight and powerful, yet broad and beautiful. Seeing the words seemed like seeing a person. In her mind, Zhang Yuan should have some grace, but she didn't expect... to end up like this.
Zhang Yuan is young and has a bright future.
If he is what the owner of the pen and ink shop said, he is literary and kind, and he sells books just to help more people study...
It will always be a pity when a good person dies in vain.
Thinking like this, Zhao Luoyang was inevitably in a depressed mood, and Shi Jiu in the system obviously felt this...
"It's okay," Zhao Luoyang said to Shi Jiu, "I'll take another look."
"The same goes for looking at the autopsy documents later," Shi Jiu said, "I've seen everything I can see. Some places need to be taken back to the government office to be cleaned up before being examined."
Shi Jiu was right. There were bloodstains and stains everywhere on Zhang Yuan's body, and many wounds could not be seen clearly.
Zhao Luoyang took a step back, looking away from Zhang Yuan's corpse, and saw Bai Yuwei and Cha Shuo standing by in a daze.
Both of them looked bad.
Cha Shuo is a man, and he was hostile to Zhang Yuan before. He seems to be doing better now, but Bai Yuwei is different. She is wiping the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously been crying for a long time.
Bai Yuwei was familiar with Zhang Yuan, so she obviously couldn't accept seeing such a scene. Ah Shu was also dead, but compared with Zhang Yuan, Ah Shu was much more respectable.
Zhao Luoyang walked over and grabbed Bai Yuwei: "Sister Awei, let's go outside!"
The officer is already checking the situation in the house. Going out now will not hinder the government office's work. It will also allow Bai Yuwei to calm down. Otherwise, if this continues, Bai Yuwei will collapse first.
"Okay." Bai Yuwei's voice was trembling. The more she looked at it, the more she couldn't believe it. That person turned out to be Zhang Yuan. This scene might always stay in her mind.
Zhao Luoyang and Bai Yuwei walked out, and Huaiguang followed them immediately.
Leave this place to Zhao Jingyun, and he will protect the Zhao family girls.
Zhao Luoyang and Shi Jiu said: "I was just thinking that Zhang Yuan should have been tortured for some time. He has become like this but has not died... is he thinking about Ah Shu?"
There are too many details in the whole thing to consider in detail.
One is huddled in a broken vat, hoping that he will go back to save her.
The other endured those tortures just because he cared about her safety.
Both men eventually died.
Uncle Liu said that Zhang Yuan was infatuated with Bai Yushu and had separated from them a long time ago. Could it be that the whole thing was... The Liu family arrested Bai Yushu, and Zhang Yuan had people set a fire and finally rescued Bai Yushu.
, he hid Bai Yushu, but he failed to escape and fell into the hands of Uncle Liu.
Shi Jiu said: "Zhang Yuan wanted to live, until he heard a few words and inferred the truth. In the end, he decided to fight against the Liu family by dying. He protected the village with his life, and he will feel at ease when he leaves at the last moment!"
These words gave Zhao Luoyang comfort.
"Thanks."
Bai Yuwei's voice suddenly came, and Zhao Luoyang came back to his senses and looked at Bai Yuwei.
Bai Yuwei said: "If you hadn't discovered something fishy and sent the news to the government office, our village would have been involved. Cha Shuo would definitely have died."
When the tall Cha Shuo heard this, he looked at Zhao Luoyang in surprise. He didn't expect that the government office could rush over because of this...short and thin girl in front of him.
"Thank you...this..." Cha Shuo coughed and did not continue. He just bowed and saluted Zhao Luoyang in a polite manner, "I owe you my life. If you need me in the future, just ask.
,Except for dealing with the village...I agree to everything else."
Cha Shuo speaks straightforwardly, but has a very cheerful personality.
Bai Yuwei nodded and said, "You should thank the Zhao family girl properly."
Zha Shuo didn't know what to say, so he could only bow to Zhao Luoyang again...
Zhao Luoyang said: "Brother Cha, get up quickly."
Zhao Luoyang did not refuse Cha Shuo's promise of "repaying her in the future". She did these things without intending to ask Cha Shuo to repay her, but who knows if this promise will be useful in the future?
Shi Jiu suddenly smiled in his mind.
Zhao Luoyang said: "What's wrong?"
Shi Jiu said: "You didn't say you didn't want him to repay you."
Zhao Luoyang said: "Even to pray to the gods, I have to light three sticks of incense. The gods don't care whether it can be done or not. I still have the character card task to complete. I will not be polite to him when necessary."
Shi Jiu said: "Okay."
This is how Zhao Luoyang should be, happy and frank, this is her temperament.
Bai Yuwei looked a little depressed, and Zhao Luoyang comforted her in a low voice: "Master Zhao will find out what happened to Sister A Shu, don't worry... Zhang Xiucai... will also figure it out."
"Well," Bai Yuwei's chest seemed to be pressed by a big stone, "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect it to be like this."
After speaking, Bai Yuwei asked Zhao Luoyang: "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid," Zhao Luoyang said, "that's why I dragged Sister Awei out. But on the way to the relocation, I also saw people who died of the epidemic, and... bandits killed people..."
Bai Yuwei said: "Don't be afraid. If anyone dares to harm you because of this matter, the village will definitely not let him go. If the people of our village dare to promise this, I will take you there when I go back and report to the elders."
Let’s take a look at the village.”
Speaking of this, Bai Yuwei asked again: "Do you want to go?" After all, many people do not want to interact with people in the village, and even compare the village to those bandits.
Zhao Luoyang responded: "I want to."
Bai Yuwei's face showed a slightly relaxed expression, but it was soon shrouded in gloom again.
Without letting them wait long, Zhao Jingyun strode out of the house. He glanced at Cha Shuo and said, "You guys come back to the office with me. I have to ask you carefully about some things."
After saying that, Zhao Jingyun went to see Bai Yuwei again: "I have ordered people to go to Liu's house to arrest the person. You can also go back to the village to report everything. However, this case needs to be heard by the government office, and the village is not allowed to act privately."
"Once I find out that something like Cha Shuo happened, I will definitely be severely punished according to the law."
Bai Yuwei responded and bowed to Zhao Jingyun. She must return to the village immediately.
When Bai Yuwei left, Zhao Jingyun walked towards Zhao Luoyang: "Wang Huai will take you back to Fengxia Village."
In other words, she can no longer see the Liu family?
Zhao Luoyang was a little disappointed, but she had another way to hear the government office interrogating the Liu family. As soon as she thought about it, she was about to call Shi Jiu, but the recorder already appeared in her hand.
