March 3rd Shangsi Festival is coming soon, and it is a day to wait for the provincial examination to be released in the spring exam. Lin'an City is becoming more and more noisy. In the sunny day, the crowds of people are everywhere by the West Lake, and there is no place for you.

The spring has just been bright for a few days, and it has been raining again recently. God is like a girl who has been in love with her, very sentimental, which has attracted the pink walls and black tiles of the prosperous ancient capital. The temples and eyebrows of passers-by are also sentimental, and the wet and moist everywhere.

It is rare to stop the rain tonight, and a crimson moon appears in the slight clouds. It lies beside the ink clouds, and looks like a lady in a dark skirt playing the piano, slender and moist, comforting the world in a cool way.

Under the faint moon, two thin figures walked slowly between the alleys. The people came were all 18 or 19 years old, wearing a blue soapy dress in the public door, whispering and laughing, while behind them were the noisy and lively sounds of shops and taverns on the Yu Street not far away.

The newly appointed magistrate of Qiantang Wang County was a Jinshi. A few years ago, Ding You had been replaced by his father three years ago because of his death, but he had no choice but to wait for the book of the Ministry of Personnel. Later, Ding You's tenure was forced to make a living and was recommended to go to the Ministry of Justice's Office to find a teaching position. It was probably because the magistrate Wang County was very hard at the Office of the Minister of Justice's Office to rectify the sons and nephews of the Minister of Justice's family, and he actually got the eyes of the Minister of Justice. Later, he worked hard for him to make up for the misfortune in the capital.

In order to repay the favor of his favor, the new county magistrate Wang naturally took office as a new official, and he worked diligently with the county magistrate, chief clerk and yamen runners to handle internal affairs. He always took a long time to leave the work before everyone was allowed to go home. Although there was no overtime pay, everyone did not dare to leave privately, and it was inevitable that they would pretend to stay until the moon was on the willows before they scattered.

"Zhao Chonghuan, the boys were scared by your trick of cutting off the firewood from the cauldron just now!" Wei Huai, who was taller, said excitedly. He was a handsome young man with a handsome face, like a three-month-old green tung, full of vitality and graceful greenness.

Zhao Chonghuan, who was walking side by side, smiled faintly when he heard this.

He is moderate in shape, ordinary in appearance, wide forehead and a slim nose, and even ugly. Standing in the crowd, he is as inconspicuous as a piece of duckweed in the West Lake.

However, this young man had a pair of dark eyes that could not hide his light. The Milky Way was suspended, and the light was overflowing, clear and transparent, like the east wind hiding its eyebrows, mist and rain falling, and a smile never disappointed the beauty. No matter how you look at these eyes, it seems that God has pressed the wrong place, and it is really impossible to match this strange face.

Just now, when I passed by the neighborhood of Beiwazi, a group of teenagers were playing horses. One of them was probably losing too much, and his face was so sad that it was even wrinkled than the pickled salted candied fruit. The others were laughing and bullying him, and even forced him to drink the dirty water in the gutter beside him.

It happened that the two of them saw it, and naturally they roared when they saw the injustice. Unexpectedly, the young hippie scoundrels were used to it, and the nobles at the emperor had countless knowledge of them. They did not take them seriously at all.

Those people's contempt and their unrestrained words made Wei Huai feel angry and he yelled to compete with them.

Of course, after a fever, he quickly realized that his horse-driving level was really not up to the top, but he was confident and prepared for any trouble - because there was an expert behind him.

He had known Zhao Chonghuan for more than half a year. Because the yamen runners like to play with various skills in their spare time, he naturally knew that Zhao Chonghuan was also proficient in various skills, especially the art of fighting horses, and was invincible in the Qiantang County Yamen. A group of people in the yamen were convinced by him, and everyone joked that he was "beating horses and Zhao Zhao".

What is particularly commendable is that every time a guy loses money to him, Zhao Chonghuan never puts the money to his private pocket, and always puts the money at the head of the public office Liu, saying that it is for everyone to spend money in the future. Every time this happens, the colleagues who lose money have nothing to say. Of course, over time, everyone will not dare to play against him again, but they are afraid of losing to the point of pawning clothes and making them shirtless and ugly.

Horse-beating is actually a kind of chess play, which was extremely popular in the Song Dynasty. Li Yian, a famous female poet in the previous dynasty, wrote a special article "Fu of Horse-beating", calling it "the upper class of the small path" and an elegant play that even ladies in the boudoir are very popular.

The similarity between the backgammons in the Tang Dynasty is a game of striking for the first place. The instruments include chess pieces and chess boards. Players each have several chess pieces, and the chess pieces are called "horse". The horse is divided into two types according to the number of chess pieces, one is the Guansai horse, and the other is the horse, each with the diagram. The rules are not complicated. Generally, starting from the starting point, throwing dice, and chess according to the points. The one who first completes all the chess pieces to the end point is the winner. However, how to get your chess pieces to be completed first is a difficult process. Both sides need to use the horse to set up a formation, set up a game, attack, defense, pass through the barriers, etc., and finally plan the enemy's achievements and judge the winner.

"I just can't bear to see those kids bullying people!" Zhao Chonghuan said distractedly.

His voice is also clear and pleasant, close to the neutral tone. He teaches people to tell the sounds that he should be a handsome young man who is elegant and free from dust. However, the reality is not satisfactory. Fortunately, God gave him a charming beauty to make up for the omissions he made in creating his appearance.

"It's time to kill their spirits, see if they dare to bully others!" Wei Huai said angrily, and then he smiled, "Why did you build a nest to seduce them and ask them to make money? I didn't even understand. I thought you would lose!"

"Greed!"

Zhao Chonghuan looked at the deep alley ahead without looking at it, and said neatly: "Give them some sweetness, just like a fish biting bait, I am reluctant to let it go!"

He used his fictional defeat to lure the other party to bet all the bets, even his sack and straight jacket. In order to meet their hard work of taking off their clothes, he naturally killed them without leaving any armor. Finally, in the arrogance of Wei Huai laughing, several people wearing underwear stood in shame, angry, and helplessly standing in the fangkou.

Wei Huai was full of admiration. The young man next to him was about the same age as him, but he was obviously more cunning and sophisticated than him, and was much more stable and moderate. His colleagues in the yamen thought that Zhao Chonghuan was like a pond, with light reflected on his face, but no one could touch the bottom.

Both of them were county corps servants who entered the exam last fall.

Wei Huai was loved by his colleagues because he was the same clan as Wei Shun, a righteous man who rescued the remains of King Yue. He was diligent and clever. Although he was a novice, he would do his best to do his best in his official duties. Later, he was appreciated by Master He, so he promoted him to be his own follower, which was the fastest promoted service during the same period.

Zhao Chonghuan also applied for the exam at the same time. He seemed to have more ability and potential than him, but he was willing to always be a small deputy behind Captain Liu.

What makes everyone incredible is Zhao Chonghuan's passion for the charity room, which is really comparable to the men's love for Zhang Tai, and is in sharp contrast to the other people's attitude of trying hard to avoid the charity room.

He often came uninvited to follow the old coroner Master Qin to observe whenever he had free time. Later, Master Qin accidentally entrusts him to record a test verb and finds that his writing is really good and fast, and the recording content is more detailed and rigorous, far better than the two apprentices he accepted. Later, the old coroner would ask him to record whenever the autopsy was examined.

Of course, Master Qin admired his cleverness, diligence and studious, so he taught him all the details of the autopsy one by one without any hiding, which made the two disciples jealous and congested.

What Zhao Chonghuanling County Office servants really admired was a murder case that happened in the county seat recently.

It is said that Qiantang County is the first county in Lin'an Prefecture. It has six wings and fifty-two fangs in the city, and sixty-two fangs outside the country. It has a wide jurisdiction.

There is a place outside Guo called Yanzhili. One day, a long time reported to the official that two villagers in Lihua Village died in the back mountain.

The magistrate Wang then ordered Captain Liu to take Qin Corps and a group of servants to investigate and investigate the autopsy, and Zhao Chonghuan naturally followed him to the scene. The scene was on Niujia Mountain behind Lihua Village.

It is said that the two deceased were neighbors, named Li Agen and Zhou Shuisheng respectively. They were entrusted by Li Agen's uncle to go to the village to clear the land and plant millet on Niujia Mountain. They originally agreed to go down the mountain to get food once every three days, but after staying again, Uncle Li went to check it out. When he arrived at the hut on the mountain, he was frightened and found that the two had already died. Uncle Li was so scared that he stumbled all the way to report to the official.

After Captain Liu and Master Qin, Zhao Chonghuan and his team arrived at the ground, they found Zhou Shuisheng lying on the ground, dying outside the hut where the two of them were resting, while Li Agen was lying on his back in a pool of black blood on the hut ground, and had already died. The blood was scattered, and blood was spread all the way from the inside of the hut to the outside of the hut. There were traces of fighting in the hut, and a chopping knife that chopped wood was covered with blood, landing on Li Agen. There was a black pottery wine jar containing yellow wine on the small folding table of the hut, which had been dumped. There were two celadon wine bowls falling on the mud floor next to it, both of which were broken. On the simple bamboo couch in the hut, the grass at the bottom was messy.

However, Captain Liu found that the property carried by the two deceased was there, and the preliminary judgment was not for the robbery of money.

Qin Junzu took his apprentice to lay cloth and umbrella for on-site inspection. After some investigation, he found that Zhou Shuisheng, who was lying outside, had broken neck bones and had blade scars on his head and face. Li Agen also had knife wounds under his left neck and behind his right head.

At that time, Captain Liu concluded after inspecting the scene: "The two people are carrying all their property, so the possibility of robbery and killing can be basically ruled out! Seeing that the two people were drinking, it is very likely that they were disagreeing and clashing after drinking, so they fought with weapons."

After examining the body, Qin Junzhu basically agreed with Constable Liu's inference: "Both were injured by sharp blades, and the shape of the wounds was similar to that of this chopping knife. Zhou Shuisheng's fatal injury was broken in the back neck, while Li Agen died of bleeding from the artery under the left neck. Judging from the shape of the wound, the murderer should use his right hand."

Captain Liu asked Uncle Li and others about the relationship, living habits, etc., and then the servants searched the huts and found nothing suspicious. Finally, Captain Liu concluded that the two of them died of fighting each other. Zhou Shuisheng was first injured and died, and then Li Agen committed suicide because of the crime.

Just when everyone was very happy that the case was settled so smoothly, Zhao Chonghuan was still fiddling at the skull of the corpse that emitted a strange smell from Li Agen, and from time to time he picked up the knife and tested the left and right to test the gestures.

Seeing that he was like this, the two apprentices of Qin Jixiu deliberately sarcastically: "The master has finished testing, do you have any other insights?"

Zhao Chonghuan ignored them, but after testing the physical evidence of the injury, he looked around the inside of the hut and landed his eyes on the small pile of celadon fragments. Then he squatted down silently and finished the broken celadon wine bowl one by one with sticky mud.

After a while, he suddenly held up a piece of porcelain and asked in confusion: "Captain Liu, after these two bowls are finished, there is an extra piece of fragments coming out. I don't know where it came from-"

Everyone was stunned when they were relaxing and could not help but look at each other - no one thought of trying to squeeze the broken porcelain bowl.

However, the yamen runners are very clever in gambling and fighting horses, and naturally they are not stupid. After thinking about it, they immediately understood Zhao Chonghuan's meaning: There are only two broken bowls here, but a piece of fragments is added after the complete puzzle. What does this mean? It can only mean that the third bowl has appeared on the folding table.

After all, Captain Liu is an old constable and kind-hearted person. After realizing the abnormality, he did not deliberately avoid the reminder of the new boy for the sake of face. He organized everyone to search near the hut again.

Soon, in the bamboo forest not far away, several pieces of celadon fragments hidden in the fallen leaves and ash soil were found. In line with this fragment, it happened to be a complete wine bowl, and the smell of rice wine was vaguely left.

Such tiny details made everyone realize that there might be a third person who has appeared here.

A few days later, one person was indeed captured and confessed that he fought against the two because of hatred.

In this case, the county government treats Zhao Chonghuan, a low-class servant who has just arrived for half a year, and even the county magistrate Wang praised him in particular, saying, "He has a great talent."

Wei Huai once asked Zhao Chonghuan why he thought of putting on the porcelain bowl, but he said lightly: "Pure boring!"

This sentence was revealed and Wei Huai was shocked.

In fact, afterwards, Qin Corps also asked Zhao Chonghuan the same question. He only said: "The two bowls were too fine and the mud was soft, not like they were caused by accidental falls! Moreover, the blood on Zhou Shuisheng's hand and sleeves did not appear to be the splash that should have occurred when hurting people, so it was obvious that the injury behind Li Agen's right head was not done by Zhou Shuisheng. If Li Agen committed suicide for fear of guilt, he would not need to kill the back of his head with his hands! Then this injury would be strange!"

The young man said something that made the old coroner nod and praised, and he sighed that he was indeed old and his observation was becoming less and less sensitive.

Later, Qin Corps wanted to officially accept Zhao Chonghuan as his apprentice, but he refused it politely, saying that he had worshipped Saint Confucius when he was young, and in order to respect the saint, it was difficult to worship other people as his disciples.

Qin Corps had to give up.
