Looking closely, liquid seemed to seep out of the gap between the door panels on the side of the blacksmith shop, forming a small puddle on the ground along the threshold.

Zhou Heng squatted down and sniffed it, and the liquid seemed to smell a little wine.

It seemed that the smell of wine covered the stinking of the corpse. Zhou Heng stood up and was about to turn around when a black brown finger mark appeared on it.

At this moment, Zhou Heng felt a sank on his shoulders.

When he turned his head, he saw that the iron-thundering man had already walked towards Zhou Heng.

"I said, if you want to find a shop, go to Yashang. The owner here is friends with me for many years. What does it mean to squat like this?"

Zhou Heng quickly stood up straight and retreated with a smile.

"Brother misunderstood. I just think this foot is really good. I think if a clinic is opened here, there will definitely be a lot of people coming."

The big man looked at Zhou Heng up and down, and saw that he said he wanted to open a clinic, his attitude was better.

"The clinic? There are several in front of it, and the two largest ones are also on the south side. The location is better, but the price of the shop is also expensive, and the smallest one costs 100 taels of silver a year!"

Zhou Heng's lips trembled, and the rent for a year was 100 taels of silver, which was too expensive.

It seems that you still have to find the location carefully. The money you have in your hands is enough for the rent but not enough for the operation, which is really a bit overwhelming.

However, thinking of the smell of the corpse, Zhou Heng hurriedly bowed and continued to walk to the south.

When passing by Xinglin Medical Center, there were many people around the door. Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the business here was pretty good. Since they were so busy, let’s go to the county government first to visit.

Touching the famous post in his arms, Zhou Heng quickly walked towards the county government.

When he arrived at the county government office, he handed over the famous post. Before long, Captain He came out to greet him in person. Zhou Heng was a little surprised and quickly bowed.

"I'm so kind to ask Captain He to pick him up in person."

"Please come from Master Zhou, my county master has been waiting for you for many days."

Zhou Heng was slightly stunned. What does this mean? Could it be that the previous autopsy methods were too shocking?

With confusion, he followed Captain He to the backyard. The magistrate Liu Renli stood in the back hall in casual clothes, and saw Zhou Heng coming in with a smile.

"Young Master Zhou made me wait for a long time, please sit down!"

Zhou Heng hurriedly held his fists, and it was necessary to be polite. He was the magistrate and the highest commander here was the one who held great power. He was part-time jobs in the party, government, public security, procuratorial and judicial departments in later generations. The more polite he was, the more unsure Zhou Heng was.

However, since we need to talk about it in detail, the time will definitely not be short. We should first talk about the smell and blood marks.

If you find something later, know that you can investigate and not report it, don’t cause trouble.

"Thank you, Lord Liu, but Zhou Heng has something to report to you. Maybe he needs to take a look!"

Liu Renli was stunned, and Xu helped Zhou Heng for a moment, signaling him to sit down.

"Mr. Zhou sat down and said, "I don't know what happened?"

Zhou Heng glanced at Captain He and said:

"In Xicheng City, there is a blacksmith shop on the north side of Xinglin Medical Center. There is a huge blue-bottomed black-lined flag hanging at the door, with the word Yao Ji embroidered on it. There is no plaque on the shop next to him. It is said that it will be changed to a wine shop. However, it has not been opened for half a month and the landlord has nowhere to be found. When I passed by, I walked closer to the shop and found a faint stench of corpse stinking out of the shop."

Liu Renli was stunned, and his hand holding the teacup shook, and some tea was sprinkled out, staring at Zhou Heng and asking:

"Are you sure it's corpse smell?"

Zhou Heng nodded, "Although there is a strong smell of alcohol at the door, the corpse smell is definitely not wrong. In addition, I saw a blood fingerprint under the door bolt."

When Liu Renli heard this, he looked at Captain He.

"Captain He, please take someone over and take a look!"

Captain He clasped his fists and said that there were few murders in Qingping County. If what Mr. Zhou said was true, the case would definitely be small. Hurry up and take people there.

When Liu Renli saw that someone had left, he sighed, put down the teacup, wiped his hands and looked at Zhou Heng and said.

"To be honest, I've asked someone to ask. You are a noble man in Meiyuan. I heard that he was seriously injured, but you saved his leg. In just a few days, you can get down to walk normally now, and like an ordinary person, there is no lame."

Zhou Heng looked at Liu Renli unexpectedly. There must be a reason for being able to inquire about the matter in such detail. He knew that the person in Meiyuan had a special identity, and if he had not forced him to do so, he would never take this risk.

"That's true. If Lord Liu has any questions, please tell me!"

Liu Renli clasped his fists, "I definitely didn't mean to inquire about Meiyuan. It's just that my only sister has a stubborn disease. She has a flesh gall on her neck. It's been more than two years since she was first discovered. Not to mention Qingping County, there are major medical clinics in Jinan Prefecture and Beijing, and official medical centers, and no one dares to move."

Meat gall?

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, and he knew the name.

It is a term used by the ancients to refer to benign thyroid tumors. It was just the restrictions on disinfection and anesthesia by the ancients, so the surgical operation is still very limited.

According to Liu Renli's opinion, I couldn't find many people, that is, this benign thyroid tumor is definitely small, and it is the kind that affects normal life.

"It doesn't hurt or itchy, it can move up and down as you swallow, but now the gall is relatively large, which affects your activity?"

Liu Renliteng stood up, grabbed Zhou Heng's hand and nodded vigorously.

"That's it, that's it! The little sister Xiu'er's flesh gall is extremely huge. Not only does she feel inferior, it also affects her mood. I am not afraid of you making jokes, but I am always staring at her at any time, for fear that she will not be able to find a short-sighted view. People who have seen her regard her as a monster, and some even spit on her and hit the gods before being cursed."

Zhou Heng pondered for a moment. This huge benign thyroid tumor was not a serious disease in the 21st century, but it was indeed a big problem here.

I am alone. If I do this surgery, there is no blood preparation, no anesthesiologist, no equipment nurse, no sterile operating room, no shadowless lamp and microscope. The whole operation is like blind cutting, all depends on the feel and experience. This is too terrifying.

Seeing that Zhou Heng kept lowering his head and frowned, Liu Renli's hopeful eyes gradually dimmed, and Zhou Heng was his last hope.

"Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Heng looked up at Liu Renli and smiled slightly at him.

"Don't be anxious. Let me take a look at Ling Mei first. The surgery can be done, but there are many things to prepare, and it cannot be prepared in a short while. Don't be anxious!"

Liu Renli nodded quickly, got up and shouted outside the door:

"Come, come and invite the lady!"

Zhou Heng stopped Liu Renli's actions, stood up and looked at the county lord seriously.

"Mr. Liu should not be so generous. If it is convenient, it is better for me to take me to see it alone. This way, without a maid and an old lady, the girl can relax."

Liu Renli thought that this is true. Every time she treated Xiu'er, she was depressed in the next few days. Even when she saw her, she forced herself to smile. It seemed that she had been patient.

"Okay, let's go directly to the back house!"

The servant at the door was sent away, and Liu Renli led Zhou Heng to the back house. Although the courtyard was not big, the flowers and houses behind were designed quite exquisitely.

When he arrived at the small building in the backyard, a little maid saw Liu Renli from afar and quickly saluted.

Liu Renli glanced upstairs, felt a little worried, and frowned:

"Get up and reply, why didn't you serve the lady near you?"

The little girl was so scared that she trembled and quickly fell to her knees.

"My lord is clear and the lady is washing, so she sent out the slaves."

Liu Renli looked clear and waved her sleeves.

"Chuntao, go and help the lady sort it out. I brought a friend to show her the symptoms."

The little girl ran upstairs quickly, and Liu Renli smiled apologetically at Zhou Heng.

"Mr. Zhou is very responsible. My girl is a little afraid of seeing strangers because of this disease, but she has a gentle temper and is well-educated."

Before he finished speaking, something flew out from the window on the second floor. Zhou Heng suddenly felt a gust of wind on the back of his head, and he hugged his head and jumped horizontally to the side, just hiding behind Liu Renli.

Bang, a flowerpot fell just where Zhou Heng was standing just now, and it fell into pieces, and all the splashed earth chips were scattered on Liu Renli's robe.

Then, a low roar came from the upper floor: "Get out!"
