In Jin'an, the old Taoist priest came forward to inspect the body.
Final confirmation.
The two men had indeed died suddenly.
There are no signs of life on his body.
"Could it be that because the two of them were seriously injured by Mr. Jin'an earlier, their spleens were severely ruptured and we couldn't see them?"
"He was seriously injured and died suddenly?"
Li Yanchu looked at the two corpses at his feet, frowned and said guessingly.
But Jin An disagreed with Li Yanchu's statement.
"Don't you think that the timing of these two deaths is a bit strange?"
"You were about to confess, but you died suddenly?"
Jin An pondered: "Perhaps during their autopsies, unexpected findings may be found on them."
However, Jin An and the old Taoist priest conducted a rough autopsy on the two bodies and found nothing unusual.
If not found on the body surface.
Is that inside the body?
When it comes to such bloody things as anatomy, it requires an operator with more professional knowledge.
In the end, Li Yanchu could only be asked to take the body back first.
Before leaving, Jin An asked Li Yanchu to remember to inform him as soon as there were any autopsy results or any progress in the case.
After Li Yanchu left with the people and the body, the old Taoist priest stood in the yard and sighed.
"Little brother, based on my experience in running around in the world for so many years, the death of those two people is not simple. I'm afraid there is someone behind the scenes."
The old Taoist priest spoke solemnly.
Jin An naturally understood the reason.
Now the only thing we can do is to block it with soldiers and let the water and soil cover us up.
He could only place his hope on the efficiency of the government, and hoped that the government could find out the specific identities of the two people as soon as possible.
Only then can he plan for the future.
Jin An still underestimated the nervousness of the local government in Chang County as the temple fair was approaching and the importance they attached to this matter.
The second half of the night is not over yet, and the sky is not yet bright.
Li Yanchu came to the door again with several fellow government officials, but Li Yanchu came with injuries.
"Brother Li, what are you..." Jin An was startled.
Li Yanchu broke the bad news: "Master Jin'an, the body is missing..."
"To be more precise, the body should have been robbed."
Li Yanchu had a bitter smile on his face. The injuries on his body were caused by conflicts with others.
When Li Yan first talked about this corpse robbery, he still had lingering fears.
If they hadn't had military crossbows, the other party would have just robbed the corpses and not wanted to fight. It's unclear whether those who escorted the corpses would have survived.
Li Yanchu clasped his fists and continued: "Mr. Jin An, the body has been taken away. Feng Baotou begged Mr. Jin An if he could go to the Yamen. He said it was a long-term plan and hoped that Mr. Jin An could provide more useful clues."
"Because the temple fair is approaching, Capt. Zhao is stationed at Wenwu Temple, and Capt. Feng needs to be stationed at the Yamen, responsible for arranging public security in Chang County. Capt. Feng is really inseparable and cannot come to visit Mr. Jin An in person. Capt. Feng asked me to do it for him.
He sent a message to the Prince of Jin'an, Haihan."
Jin An is not a small-minded person.
He didn't care about these details. What he cared about was the meaning behind this corpse robbery...
So Jin An nodded and agreed to go to the Yamen with Li Yanchu to meet Feng Baotou.
The old Taoist priest couldn't sleep at this time, and he shamelessly shouted that he would join in the fun, saying that he might be able to offer some advice.
Jin An thought it made sense, so he also brought the old Taoist priest with him.
Of course, it is also to avoid leaving the old Taoist priest alone and being taken advantage of by the other party.
The other party dared to rob even the corpses escorted by the government.
It shows that these people have begun to jump over the wall in order not to reveal their identity and to hide the conspiracy.
When the group of people arrived at the Yamen, because Feng BaTou had already greeted them in advance, the journey was smooth and they met Feng BaTou.
The group actually went directly to Magistrate Zhang's study.
At this time, the lights in Magistrate Zhang's study were brightly lit and the candles were always burning.
"Why did Capt. Feng arrange to meet him in Magistrate Zhang's study?"
Jin An's eyes were thoughtful.
When he walked into the study and saw Capt. Feng and Magistrate Zhang in the study, and they seemed to be discussing something with serious expressions on their faces, Jin An had no surprised expression on his face.
This is Magistrate Zhang’s study.
It is natural for Magistrate Zhang to appear here.
It seems that the matter to be discussed tonight is very important, right?
Even Magistrate Zhang, the largest local official in Chang County, stayed up all night, specially waiting for him and the old Taoist priest... Jin'an's eyes were full of thought.
Because the temple fair started right after dawn and time was tight, a lot of red tape and etiquette were omitted in the middle.
After County Magistrate Zhang retired from the other government officials and only he, Feng Baotou, Jin An, and the old Taoist priest were left in the study, he began to ask Feng Baotou, who was still bandaged and still injured, to introduce the situation.
This is not the first time that Jin An and Magistrate Zhang have met, but for some reason, sitting together with Magistrate Zhang this time makes him more nervous than the first time?
Is it because of Miss Zhang Lingyun?
Or is it because of Shopkeeper Zhang’s relationship?
After all, this County Magistrate Zhang seems to be a cautious person. Now that he knows about Zhang Lingyun, Shopkeeper Zhang, and his relationship, will he kill someone and silence them?
For example, is this a Hongmen Banquet?
The more Jin An thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.
Thinking of Zhang Lingyun, Jin An realized at this moment that he was obsessed with martial arts practice and had not seen Miss Zhang Lingyun for a long time...
Speaking of Zhang Lingyun, huh?
When Jin An sat down next to Magistrate Zhang, he was secretly surprised.
Magistrate Zhang smells a little good.
I remember that the first time I was hosted by Magistrate Zhang for a banquet, I didn’t smell any aroma from Magistrate Zhang’s body?
This aroma is so familiar...
Is it a bit like the powdery smell of Red Moon Rouge?
The reason why Jin An is so sensitive to the scent of Red Moon Rouge is because he once bought a box of the most expensive rouge for Zhang Lingyun——
Red Moon Rouge!
This is the rouge exclusively used by the nobles of the northern capital!
"It seems that County Magistrate Zhang is also a maniac who dotes on his wife. He is willing to buy Red Moon Rouge for the magistrate's wife."
"And the reason why County Magistrate Zhang still has the scent of red moon rouge on his body is because he saw something urgent and just got up from the bed of the county magistrate's wife..."
Jin An, who sat down at the desk, secretly speculated in his heart.
When several people sat down, Magistrate Zhang nodded to Feng Baotou, and then Feng Baotou began to solemnly introduce the details.
"It is not difficult to investigate the identities of Wang De and Sun Yuanliang. Although there was a small chaos in the process, someone robbed the bodies. But the Yamen servants in the Yamen often deal with the underworld. According to the oral characteristics of the brothers who came back, it is still very difficult to investigate.
The specific identities of the two people were quickly identified."
As soon as Feng Baotou opened his mouth, Jin An and the old Taoist priest were surprised.
Feng Captou apologized to Jin An: "Because there was a corpse robbery incident, in order to protect the safety of Li Yanchu and others, this matter was investigated in secret."
"I hope Mr. Jin'an won't blame Li Yanchu, because even Li Yanchu doesn't know about this yet."
"In order to keep it confidential to the greatest extent possible, so as to prevent the other party from jumping over the wall again, this matter is currently only known to me, Magistrate Zhang, and a few trustworthy people."
"Feng Mou and County Magistrate Zhang have discussed that the temple fair will be held after dawn, which will inevitably lead to a long night and many dreams. In order to find out what these people are plotting as soon as possible, they plan to mobilize troops and horses overnight and attack directly at the door to prevent these people hiding in Chang.
The thieves in the county were left with a chance to react."
"But because Feng was injured and had not recovered, and Capt. Zhao had to keep an eye on Wenwu Temple all the time, the Yamen really couldn't recruit other experts... Therefore, Feng recommended Mr. Jin'an to County Magistrate Zhang
You, Feng, shamelessly implore Mr. Jin An to lend a helping hand to the Yamen and join the Yamen brothers in encircling and attacking the Qingshui Gang headquarters."
"If Mr. Jin'an is the master of suppressing the formation and Feng is confident, this matter will definitely be accomplished!"
At this time, Magistrate Zhang stood up and bowed: "I hope Mr. Jin'an can take action again to save the people of Chang County from dire straits."
"To be honest, after discussions with Capt. Feng, as well as various clues, I feel that the Qingshui Gang's conspiracy this time may be related to the case of Li Dashan's private possession of gunpowder. Tomorrow's most lively temple fair of the year
