Chapter 257 Uncle, do you want to do something big with me?
Two days later, at the Lingnan City Government Office.
In the lobby, Lingnan Governor Lin Keyong had a solemn expression on his face.
Two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, were kneeling in the hall. They were wearing short clothes and smelled strongly of mutton.
The woman's eyes were frighteningly red and swollen, as if she had been crying for several days in a row.
The coroner Mu Liancheng was wearing a pair of white cloth gloves and was searching for something on the body parked at the door.
Because of this, a disgusting stench filled the lobby. Link frowned and waved his hand in front of his nose from time to time, trying to dispel the unpleasant smell.
Half an incense stick later, the coroner Mu Liancheng turned around with his hands covered in dark red sticky blood. He clasped his fists and said to Link in the hall:
"Sir, after verification by my subordinates, Erhe from Laocaichangzhuang was indeed murdered!"
"only……"
Link leaned forward and asked, "Stop talking so much! What are you keeping me in suspense for? Come on!"
Mu Liancheng lowered his voice and said word by word:
"Zhuang Erhe's body was covered in teeth marks, the fatal wound being in his neck, where his throat was bitten off!"
"These tooth marks are... human, and Zhuang Erhe was devoured of five or six pounds of flesh and blood..."
Hearing this, the woman in the hall suddenly burst into tears, crying out heartbreakingly:
"My son, who the hell killed my son?"
Lin Keyong has been an official for at least twenty years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a bizarre and horrifying murder case as today's.
"Snapped!"
As soon as the gavel sounded, the woman stopped crying and sobbed while wiping away a few tears.
"Silence, the old man and his wife from the hall are asking you, does your son have any grudges against anyone?"
Old Man Zhuang raised his head with a sad look:
"Please be clear, my lord. My Erhe has always been honest and kind, and has never made enemies. If you don't believe me, you can ask the inspectors of the old vegetable market. They all know it!"
Link rolled his eyes and glanced at the lawyer on his right who was recording the court hearing:
"Master, in your opinion..."
Upon hearing this, the master put down his pen and raised his head, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Sir, don't forget that this year we will be selecting the top ten places of virtue and education in Beili. In addition to receiving a golden plaque from His Majesty, we will also receive a reward from the government office..."
"Therefore, in my humble opinion, this matter must not be leaked. If rumors of supernatural powers spread among the people, it will be detrimental to the government office and will bring shame to you, my Lord!"
When Link heard this, he immediately sat up straight:
"Yes, yes, that's what Master reminded me of!"
"Last time, we didn't get selected as a place for virtuous education. We can't fail to be selected this year... uh..."
"Mu Liancheng, come forward."
Upon hearing this, the coroner Mu Liancheng clasped his fists and saluted, then prepared to go to Lin Keyong.
"Wait, wait... Wait, throw those gloves of yours to me! They're splattering with blood, and it makes me sick just looking at them!"
Mu Liancheng quickly took off his gloves, put them aside, and then carefully walked to Linkong.
Link covered his nose with one hand, looked at Mu Liancheng with some disdain, and then whispered:
"You just said that Zhuang Erhe, who died, was bitten to death by someone?"
Mu Liancheng nodded: "That's right, my lord..."
Link raised his leg and kicked Mu Liancheng on the thigh: "Keep your voice down!"
Mu Liancheng was startled and quickly lowered his voice: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
"Your Excellency, Zhuang Erhe was indeed bitten to death. Not only that, most of his belly and face were eaten!"
Link frowned and said, "Listen to me and change your autopsy file..."
"Let's change it to this: he encountered a vicious dog in the middle of the night... um... he fought with it and accidentally fell, injuring the back of his head and died. And then... he was bitten a few times by the vicious dog!"
"Yes, yes, yes, change it as I say! Go!"
Mu Liancheng looked at Lin Keyong in surprise, unable to understand why he distorted the facts.
But he didn't expect Link to slap him on the head again: "What are you looking at? I have the right to interpret the laws and regulations. Don't forget that I am the one who pays your salary!"
"Go and correct it quickly, word for word, or I'll fine you half a year's salary!"
Mu Liancheng hesitated for a moment, wanting to argue, but Link kicked him again:
"What are you doing? If you affect the rewards and bonuses of our colleagues in Lingnan Prefecture, you will be in trouble!"
Mu Liancheng felt helpless, but he could not handle it alone and could only respond submissively:
"My subordinate understands, sir, please rest assured!"
A cup of tea passed in the blink of an eye. Mu Liancheng revised the files, and the legal advisor drafted the official document and had it printed by the government office.
At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang were still kneeling on the ground with tears on their faces, looking at the plaque in the lobby that read "A Bright Mirror Hanging High."
"This case has been heard. Zhuang Erhe, the son of the owner of the beef offal stall at the old vegetable market on Tianhe West Street in Lingnan City, was injured by a vicious dog at midnight two days ago.
While fighting with the dog, Zhuang Erhe accidentally fell and injured the back of his head, resulting in his death. He was then bitten on the face and abdomen by the vicious dog.
Coroner Mu Liancheng, Chief Constable Xing Yusheng, family members, please quickly collect the body and leave the courtroom!
When Mr. and Mrs. Zhuang heard that their son's murder case had been concluded so hastily, they immediately burst into tears:
"My Lord... my son died unjustly. There have never been any stray dogs in the old vegetable market. Even if there were, they would have been caught and stewed. How could he have been bitten by a dog?"
"Sir, please do me a favor and give my son justice!"
Link twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, and the gavel in his hand rang again:
"Snapped!"
"The case has been concluded. Collect the body immediately and return home. Do not disturb the court. If you do, I will charge you with provoking a disturbance!"
"Captain Xing, take your men and clear them out!"
……
Wen family.
There were only four scouts left in the cage in the backyard, including the unfortunate scout leader.
Wen Yanzhao was playing with a bloody, warm insect in his hand. The insect was more than an inch long and lay obediently on his finger.
"Zhao'er, this is already the third day. Why do I only see you taking blood but not applying medicine?"
He leaned on the stool while warming the pot of wine and asked with his arms folded.
Wen Yanzhao stared at the insect in his hand with full confidence:
"Don't worry, wait until this thing in my hand has had enough blood, and then I'll give them the medicine naturally."
"Oh, right, uncle! Why is Su Xin and his Beida Camp retreating instead of advancing? Didn't the scout leader say yesterday that Tianqi City has sent another decree urging Su Xin to besiege our Wen family?"
He hummed as he warmed the pot of wine and said:
"He deserves it too!"
"Even if our Wen family didn't have a little poisoner like you, I alone, with my warm pot of wine, would be enough to scare off tens of thousands of his soldiers!"
"They're still besieging the Wen family. I think Su Xin is a man who knows the current situation. He knows that you're back and it's difficult to deal with, so he naturally withdrew his troops. Is there any need to ask?"
Wen Yanzhao put the bug into his sleeve, moved to the side of the wine pot, and said cunningly:
"Uncle, after the medicine man trial is completed, do you want to go with me to Qiandong City to see Auntie?"
Wen Jujiu leaned sideways, clearly showing interest.
"Why, after helping your uncle take over the four southwestern states, what bad ideas do you have?"
Wen Yanzhao snapped his fingers and said confidently:
"Four states? What are four states..."
"My ambition is the vast sea of stars. I want to make the entire Beili... no, the entire world become what I envision!"
"Uncle, do you want to do something big with me?"
"I'll give you the entire Yonghe poison, and I'll get you an immortal relic. Then we, uncle and nephew, will become bigger and stronger and achieve greater glory!"
