The sky is already dark, the moon is dark and the stars are sparse.

In the county magistrate's office, three black shadows took advantage of the night to quietly come under the large wall of the government office. It was Su Ling, Zhang Zhiyue and Du Heng. They first circled around the county magistrate's office and found that the defense of the county magistrate's office was quite slack. Except for the six guards standing guard in front of the main gate, there was no one else.

This is not surprising. The county magistrate often works in the daytime. At night, the county magistrate returns home and takes all the important items such as seals back to his home. The government office has nothing but some ordinary decorations and torture instruments, and there is no small thief who is not open to the eyes to steal these worthless things from the government office, so the garrison is naturally relaxed. In addition, Nanzhang County goes deep into the hinterland of Sikong Xiao Yuanche of the dynasty, so compared to the wars in remote areas, it is still quite peaceful.

But no one expected that Su Ling would kill him in the middle of the night and run back to the government office.

Su Ling looked at the big wall four or five feet high, and bared at Du Hengyi, "Can you go up?"

Du Heng nodded and said, "It's no problem."

Su Ling said again after hearing this: "Don't talk too much, you have no problem with yourself, the problem is that you have to carry me on your back."

Du Heng said speechlessly: "You can think of it. I will carry you over the wall? Do you really think I am a hero in the world?"

Su Ling shrugged her shoulders and said, "What should I do? I can't hit the wall with my body. Just feel a little aggrieved with your strength and squat down!"

Du Heng said to Zhang Zhiyue with grievance: "Brother and sister-in-law, look at him bullying honest people."

Zhang Zhiyue didn't expect that Du Heng would blush with this sentence, and spat at him and said, "You deserve to be bullied..."

Du Heng smiled and squatted down. Su Ling rode on his shoulder. Du Heng stood up and said, "Try it, see if you can grab the wall. If you can hold it, you kick my shoulder hard, climb up by yourself first, I will go up, and then we pull my brother and sister up."

When Su Ling heard this, she thought to herself, thinking you are honest, it seems that a brother and sister called him at the critical moment, brother! OK!

Su Ling stepped on Du Heng's shoulder, stood up tremblingly, and used his hands to pull the wall of the government office. Not to mention, it was really enough, but Su Ling climbed the wall for the first time in his life. He slapped his stomach and took a long time to finally climb up.

Du Heng took a few steps back without any effort, jumped up, and jumped up with both hands.

The two of them then poked their heads out and said to Zhang Zhiyue: "Zhiyue (brother and sister-in-law) It's your turn."

Zhang Zhiyue followed suit and stepped back a few feet, ran away, moved her waist lightly, and her body erected. When she was about to fall, Su Ling and Du Heng pulled her into the big wall with one hand.

The three of them entered the government office. They just started to turn around when they entered. When they came in, they went straight to the main hall when they came during the day. At night, it was dark and the government office was too big, so where could they go to find the morgue.

The three of them were rushing like headless flies. Suddenly the lights flashed in front of them. The three of them hurriedly hid in the dark and looked up. They turned out to be an updater, holding a lantern in one hand and pounding a gong in the other, strolling back and forth, and talking about the dry things in the sky.

Su Ling's eyes lit up and he nodded at Du Heng.

Du Heng muttered a few words and slowly moved towards the updater.

The updater was already drowsy, but suddenly felt a chill of his neck. He looked down at a bright Park knife that was erected on it. He was so scared that he knocked the gong hard. Just as he was about to shout, Du Heng said coldly: "Don't shout, don't struggle, I have something to ask you, I won't hurt you."

The husband was so scared that he said tremblingly: "Good man, please spare me. I have an 80-year-old mother above and…"

Du Hengyi glared and said, "Why are you doing so much? I'll ask you where is the morgue?"

The updater thought that the thief might be stealing something expensive, but he didn't expect that he would ask where the morgue was. He said strangely: "Hero, what's the matter with the morgue? When the coroners came back from transporting the corpses, they had already plundered the corpses inside and out, and there was not even a single copper cob left..."

Du Heng felt that the updater was nagging and scared him, "I'll go to the morgue to eat people!"

The updater said to himself, "Oh, eat people, there are many dead people in the morgue..." Suddenly, he understood, almost shouted, his calves were twitching, and he said tremblingly, "You want to... eat people... then don't eat me. I haven't taken a shower for more than ten years and haven't washed my feet for more than twenty years..."

Du Heng resisted the urge to laugh and said, "Hurry up, where is the morgue?"

The updater pointed to the north and said, "There is a big house with black paint on the north and below, that's..."

Du Heng really thought he was nagging, so he knocked his hand on the back of his head, and the updater suddenly fainted.

Du Heng came back and told Su Ling and Zhang Zhiyue that the three of them would not hesitate anymore and headed towards the morgue in the north.

As expected, there was no light in the morgue, and even the inspectors felt unlucky and did not come here.

Su Ling and the other two felt approaching, gently opened the door, and flashed in.

As soon as he entered, he felt a strong smell of corpse odor spreading over. Zhang Zhiyue couldn't stand it first, and her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her face turned pale, and she was about to vomit.

Su Ling said with concern: "Zhiyue, why don't you go outside and wait."

Zhang Zhiyue couldn't speak, but she shook her head stubbornly.

With a stinging sound, Du Heng tore the bag that was originally wrapped in Park Dao into several pieces, picked up two pieces and stuffed them into his nose, and handed them to Su Ling and Zhang Zhiyue. They hurriedly stuffed their noses, and Fang Jue's stench was not so strong.

Du Heng touched the darkness a few times and found a candle, took out the fire stick and lit it. With the faint candlelight, the three of them could see the morgue clearly.

No wonder the corpse smell in the morgue is unbearable. It turns out that there are three corpses lying on the corpse bed in the middle of the morgue. The two corpses are already highly decayed, and even men or women can’t tell whether they are men or women. There are a few green-headed flies buzzing around the corpse. The stench comes from the two corpses.

Zhang Zhiyue had never seen this before. She almost screamed out in fear. She hurriedly covered her mouth, but there was still a look of horror on her pretty face.

Although Su Ling also felt a little scary, she was even more disgusting. She held Zhang Zhiyue's hand and said, "I'm not afraid, they have all died for a long time, I'm there."

Zhang Zhiyue nodded.

The corpse lying on the innermost corpse bed was very complete, and there was no smell of corpse. Zhang Zhiyue pulled Su Ling's neck of the clothes and whispered: "Su Ling, that's Deng Xuan."

The three of them quickly came to Deng Xuan's approach and began to carefully check it.

Du Heng was an amateur, so he could only stare at the dead ghost Deng Xuan with big eyes, and said while facing him: "You look so pure and innocent, it's a pity to die."

Zhang Zhiyue and Su Ling possessed themselves and observed carefully. Perhaps it was the nature of a doctor. Zhang Zhiyue was no longer afraid. She stretched out her hand to touch Deng Xuan's eyelids and observed carefully.

Su Ling frowned. Zhang Zhiyue's onion finger touched the body was something he didn't want to see. He thought to himself, it seemed that it would be a problem to invent and make a glove.

Zhang Zhiyue looked at it for a while and whispered: "There are signs of poisoning when looking at his eyes, but his face doesn't look like it. It's really strange. Unfortunately, there is no knife. If so, I will separate his throat and see if it's black inside."

Du Heng shook the bright Dapu knife in his hand and said, "There is a knife, there is a knife!"

Zhang Zhiyue almost laughed and said, "I'm cutting the throat, not chopping off other people's heads. Such a big knife..." Suddenly, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's better than not." After that, he took the big Pu knife in Du Heng's hand and gestured back and forth on Deng Xuan's throat. It was not a little bit big, so it was really hard to start.

After Zhang Zhiyue competed for a while, she held her breath and focused, gently stimulating Deng Xuan's throat with the tip of the Park Knife, and actually slowly made a hole.

The three of them looked carefully, and it would be fine if they didn't look at it. After watching it, Zhang Zhiyue suddenly felt extremely disappointed.

Deng Xuan's throat was of normal color, and there was no sign of poisoning and blackening.

The three of them stood there and felt a little helpless.

Zhang Zhiyue was a little lost and said, "Is it really my grandfather who prescribed the wrong medicine?"

Su Ling shook his head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! We must have missed the key points and then searched for them."

After saying that, Zhang Zhiyue and Su Ling attached themselves again and searched Deng Xuan's Corpse Mountain. Even Du Heng lowered his head and started searching carefully.

After searching for it for a while, the morgue was already stuffy and the smell of corpse became more and more intense, so the three of them could not stay any longer. Du Heng was holding a candle in his hand, and the candle was peeled off and accidentally dripped on Du Heng's hand. A burning feeling made Du Heng almost scream. The hand holding the candle shook, and the candlelight shook a few times.

As the candlelight shook, Su Ling suddenly saw a strange mark on Deng Xuan's waist.

"Here!" Su Ling did not hesitate anymore, and snatched the candle. The candle liquid sprinkled several drops on Du Heng's hand. Du Heng suddenly felt sweaty in pain, and his face turned red and he didn't dare to scream. He looked quite funny.

Zhang Zhiyue looked along the place where Su Ling pointed and also found the strange mark.

On the left side of Deng Xuan's waist, there were a little black and swollen. There were two small red dots side by side on the black and blue skin. The small red dots penetrated deep into the skin, like two small holes. There was still nearly two inches of distance between the two small red dots.

"What is this?" Su Ling asked in confusion. But he dared to be sure. Although he didn't know what this was, the cause of Deng Xuan's death was definitely related to these two strange little red dots.

Zhang Zhiyue reached out and touched the two small red dots gently. A rather turbid viscous liquid flowed out from it. Zhang Zhiyue put her hand in front of her nose and smelled it. Suddenly she realized it and said word by word: "I know why Deng Xuan died. He was not dead, but murder!"

As he said that, he took a strong breath, staring at the two holes like small red dots with a good look and said, "This is left by being bitten by a poisonous snake. I just smelled the smell. Combined with the description of his father Deng Wu, he was bitten by the silver ring snake, and it was the venom of the silver ring snake that killed him."

Su Ling shuddered when she heard this, "What, silver... silver ring snake, the fourth poisonous species in the world?! It is several times more poisonous than its close relative, the Golden Ring Snake. Who is so cruel?"

Zhang Zhiyue said in surprise: "Su Ling, why do you know so much about the Silver Ring Snake? Have you ever seen it?"

Su Ling scratched her head, and couldn't say that he loved Chadhi's mother when he was fine, so she had to say, "Well, of course, it was my hometown master who once told me."

If everything is not explained, it is recommended to the ups and downs, and this method is really good.

Zhang Zhiyue did not doubt that he was there, and then said: "No wonder those coroners did not find out the real cause of death. They were originally from the upper branch and lower sects. Nanzhang County is located in the north, and most of them are in the central and southwest of the Great Jin Dynasty, so most of them do not recognize it. In addition, those who were bitten by the silver ring snake could not feel the pain of being bitten at first. The two small red holes were not obvious at first, and they would only appear slowly after a while. This was only so obvious after Deng Xuan had been here for a long time. The snake bit his waist, so the upper body, the throat and esophagus, and the joints were not abnormal, but it was indeed poisoned and died of death as if he had taken the wrong medicine."

Zhang Zhiyue's eyes circulated and she said word by word: "What is certain now is that my grandfather is indeed framed, and the person who is in this situation..."

Su Ling said slowly: "It's not Deng Fang, but it also has a great relationship with Deng Fang!"

Without hesitation, he grabbed Zhang Zhiyue's hand and turned to Du Heng and said, "Let's go to Deng Wu's house and bring him to the government office to complain. We have fought this lawsuit!"

The three of them followed the method when they came in and climbed over the large wall of the government office and disappeared into the night.

............

Zhang Zhiyue and Zhang Shennong came to Deng Wu's home, and naturally they were familiar with the road. They left the main city. At the outermost point, to the east of a lake pond near the outskirts of the city, a thatched hut came into the eyes of the three of them alone.

It is Deng Wu's home.

Zhang Zhiyue took the lead. She couldn't wait to save her grandfather, so she wanted to see Deng Wu quickly.

Du Heng was about to follow him, but Su Ling suddenly stopped, staring at the thatched hut near him with a burning look, slowly said, "No..."

Zhang Zhiyue and Du Heng quickly stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Su Ling, something is wrong."

Su Ling grabbed Zhang Zhiyue and said, "Zhiyue, I ask you if there are any animals like chickens, ducks and dogs that Deng Wu's family can raise?"

Zhang Zhiyue said: "There is a dog and about two or three ducks, because there is a lake and pond in front of his house."

Su Ling's expression became quite serious, and he said word by word: "The three of us are already close to Deng Wu's house, why don't we see dogs barking? There is also this duck, no matter day and night, it's hot summer now, why didn't we see a duck when we passed by the lake and pond? Isn't that strange?"

Zhang Zhiyue Bingxue was smart and had already heard the meaning of Su Ling's words. She said with a stern expression: "Is it...what should Su Ling do? Should we turn our heads and leave?"

Du Heng seemed to feel it was unusual, and he looked at Su Ling with no words.

Su Ling looked at the lonely thatched hut in front of him coldly. The surroundings were extremely quiet, except for the low whimpering sound of the wind, as if the unjustly Deng Xuan was crying.

The thatched hut was pitch black and there was no light. If it weren't for the yellow color of the thatch itself, it would have been swallowed up by the darkness.

Su Ling said with a heart of heart: "Since you have reached this point, go in!"
