Chapter 291 The Shen Family Has a Corpse ([-])
"That's what the servants of their family shouted out. All the dead were men. How could the family bear it? There were wives and children crying, and outsiders heard it. It spread like this. Dian Shi personally took people to check it out. Although the corpses were transferred , but the smell of corpses in the house is still there, and when I finally found the corpses, they had been dead for several days, and one person was shot in the chest and died of excessive blood loss.”

"What?!" Bai Qing got up abruptly, he couldn't sit still when it came to the matter of the gunfire wounding people, "the yamen is short of manpower now, prepare horses and bring all the people, you follow me to the yamen."

"Yes."

Soldiers always act vigorously and resolutely. When it was time to drink tea, Bai Qing led his people to set off and arrived at the county government office as quickly as possible.

The yamen was also suffering from this sudden and big case. Although Shen Conglin was called to the yamen, he kept calling for grievances, claiming that he didn't know anything. The Shen family even hired a lawyer, and the yamen was as noisy as a busy street.

The county lord saw Bai Qing who brought people here as if he saw a savior. In order to collect evidence and witnesses that were not good for Shen, a large number of people in the yamen were sent out, leaving only those who had to be on duty, the two who had just returned. The first team was called back from home to work before taking a break. Suddenly, such a big incident happened to the Shen family. The yamen was severely understaffed. done in time.

"Your Excellency Qian came too timely, can you borrow some more people to help the lower officials in case of emergency?"

"Okay, I have brought three teams, 30 people, you arrange it, if there are not enough people, then tell me."

"Thank you sir."

All the manpower brought by Bai Qing was dispatched to Dian Shi's subordinates. The current Dian Shi was brought up by the head arrester. He was familiar with every link and step in handling the case. He recruited twenty soldiers and arranged for two arresters to lead a few The soldiers were divided into several groups in this way, the soldiers ran errands to maintain order, the police quickly looked for details, and the rearranged manpower was scattered in the Shen's mansion, which was finally somewhat organized.

The remaining ten soldiers were dedicated to guarding the Shen family who were concentrated under house arrest in the main courtyard where the former patriarch lived. From the old lady and the first wife and children, concubines and concubine children, and the children of the Shen family who went to school in the county, one counted as one. Shut them all in a yard, and ignored them even though they were crying and making noise.

After reinforcing the yamen in time, Bai Qing went to the back to search for the autopsy. He was mainly interested in the person who died from the firearm, and they were familiar with the wounds caused by the firearm as soldiers.

"Lord Qian Zong." Wu Zuo bent down to salute in trepidation.

"Any preliminary results? Any apparent cause of death?"

"My lord, only one of these people died of excessive blood loss caused by the gunshot wound, and the others all died of freezing."

"Frozen to death? Did they die outside?"

"Yes, they were all covered with quicklime. The lime burned their eyes, nose and mouth, and they were deliberately left outside in the cold, so they froze to death."

"Can people freeze to death in this weather?"

"My lord, although the local area belongs to the south, there are people who freeze to death every winter. Except for beggars, the frail old people and children at home have difficulty in winter."

"Then, are those who died weak and sick?"

"No, they are all strong men, but their clothes are thin, and some are even disheveled. This is very strange, as if..." Wu Zuo hesitated.

"Like what? Just say it."

"This kind of disheveled clothes, it seems that they were driven outside before they could put on their coats, and then a group of people were thrown with quicklime all over their heads, and were blinded and unable to save themselves due to serious injuries, and were thrown outside to die slowly.
