Chapter 594: What did you think of?
Chapter 595: What did you think of?
No one expected that a person would be buried in this quiet courtyard, but thinking about those men in black last night, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with a murder here.

"Girl, what should I do? Do you want to deal with it? Or report it to the official?" Zhou Ke asked Sheng Xi.

If this person is an accomplice of the man in black, he will probably be dealt with according to what Shen Anhe asked them to do last night.But if it is the owner of this courtyard or other innocent people, then he will have to report it to the official.

Sheng Xi looked at the exposed half of his sleeve and said, "First dig out the person and see if there are any clues. As for how to deal with it, we'll talk about it later."

"Yes!" Zhou Ke responded and said to the others, "Quick, dig!"

As a result, the few people who followed Sheng Xi continued to dig out the body with various tools.

After about two cups of tea, the body was finally dug out. There were slight signs of decay on the body. Considering that it was not yet summer and it was buried underground, Sheng Xi deduced that the person probably died seven days ago.

"Who is this? The clothes here are brocade, right? Ordinary people can't afford them! This man is definitely not the owner of this house!" Zhou Ke looked at the middle-aged man wearing a lining and expressed his judgment.

Sheng Xi didn't say anything, but found a cloth and was about to check it, but was hurriedly stopped by Zhou Ke: "Girl, this is what we do! Just watch it!"

Although they know that their girl is good at martial arts and courageous, they still have to do things like touch the corpse!If his uncle found out, he was afraid that he would have to give a lecture.

Well, although my uncle doesn't seem to care.

Sheng Xi thought of the mystery of those men in black, and thought she would find nothing, but one of them actually found a small letter showing off from the inside of the corpse's underwear!
"Girl, there are words here!" Zhou Ke shouted, then tilted his head to identify the words, "Lin? Is it Lin? Take a look!"

"Yes, it's Lin!" The others nodded after seeing it.

Sheng Xi also came over and confirmed that the character was indeed "Lin".

Embroidering words on the inside of clothes is something only many wealthy people do, and the word "Lin" is mostly a given name rather than a surname.But there are many people named "Lin", and there are also many rich people who can embroider words on their clothes. If you want to find out who this person is by just using such a word, it really shouldn't be too difficult!
Looking at this person's face, he doesn't have much features.

Sheng Xi thought for a while and said to Zhou Ke: "Send someone to ask Li Zheng to see if there is anyone missing from any family?"

"Yes!" Zhou Ke responded and immediately called someone to ask.

After the man left, they continued their search.And soon, the man came back, and the news he brought was "no".

Sheng Xi frowned, her eyes fell on the corpse and she pondered for a moment. Then she suddenly said: "Ke Zhou, take someone to wrap the body so that it is not exposed. Find a way to take it to the county government as soon as possible. I will go first to find Li County magistrate."

Zhou Ke was stunned. He didn't expect that Sheng Xi would choose to report to the official, but he didn't ask much. He nodded immediately. He was just worried that Sheng Xi would be too dangerous alone and asked him if he wanted to bring two more people with him, but Sheng Xi refused.

Sheng Xi took the horse, jumped on it, and hurried to the county seat.

It is necessary to let Li Zhen know about this matter now. I didn't want to trouble him at first, but whether it is the person who was obviously knocked unconscious and buried alive, or the men in black, Shangyang Town is no longer safe now, except for their own protection. , also needs someone to take care of it.

When Sheng Xi arrived, Li Zhen went to the office and was about to go back to the backyard when he suddenly heard someone coming to report that Sheng Xi was looking for him, so he stepped forward to greet him personally.Seeing Sheng Xi dusty and serious, Li Zhen wondered if Sheng Guangzong was causing trouble again?But his face remained calm as he invited Sheng Xi into the back hall.

After someone poured a cup of tea for Sheng Xi, Li Zhen asked everyone else to go down and asked Sheng Xi, "What happened?"

Sheng Xi took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then briefly described what happened last night to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen frowned and said in surprise: "There is such a group of people? I don't even know about it!"

Sheng Xi said: "You don't know what's normal. Those people are secretive. If we hadn't touched my house, we wouldn't have discovered them. And they didn't commit any theft or robbery. The people felt that doing more was better than doing less, so they didn't report. It’s really normal here.”

Li Zhen nodded, but did not deny what Sheng Xi said: "Don't worry, I will call attention to these people to see if they have any accomplices."

Sheng Xi said "hmm" and then told the story about the small courtyard in Shangyang Town.

After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help but press his head, feeling a headache.

Now he is only thinking about how to make the people live a better life. Most of his experiences are related to the economy. After the man in black is the murder case, it is obvious that he must devote his energy to deal with these things!But it doesn't matter if he doesn't smoke. After all, this is a matter within his jurisdiction, and it also concerns the Sheng Xi family.

"You want me to check if there is anyone named Lin among the recently lost people?" Li Zhen said.

Sheng Xi nodded: "Yes, the material of that man's clothes is very good and they fit well. They don't look like other people's clothes. So I wonder if he is a missing wealthy man."

Li Zhen thought for a while and then said: "Just wait a moment, I'll be back as soon as I can!"

And when he came back, he already had a stack of documents in his hand.

He put the documents on the table and said to Sheng Xi: "These are the people who have disappeared within half a year. There are too many prostitutes at this age, and the government is still suppressing and arresting people. There is no way, the county government has limited personnel, and specially mobilized people I went out to track him down but I didn’t have enough energy. Once this person is lost, it’s almost impossible to find him again, so all men, women, and children gathered here. There are a lot of people, and I can’t remember their names, so I can only check them one by one.”

Sheng Xi glanced at the stack of documents and sighed inwardly.Behind every piece of paper is the sorrow of a family, whether modern or ancient.

Although the document is thick, it is quick to check.After some searching, they did find someone with "Lin" in his name, but unfortunately, no matter the background, age, or appearance described in the document, they did not match the person in the small courtyard. .

Seeing that Sheng Xi's brows were frowning, Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "Sheng Xi, don't be anxious. Maybe the time is too short. Some people are not sure whether the person is missing. It is possible to report it later. Or, Maybe that person is from other provinces. Hey, speaking of other provinces..." Li Zhen suddenly thought of something when he said this, but then he laughed at himself, "I must have been looking at these for too long, and I thought everyone was lost. population.”

Sheng Xi saw this and asked curiously: "What did you think of, sir?"

Seeing Sheng Xi's curiosity, Li Zhen didn't hide it and said what he had just thought: "Master Shi, the general judge of Yezhou, came here more than ten days ago. His surname is Shi Xuelin. I don't know." Why did my mind twitch, and I actually thought of that Master Shi."

However, Sheng Xi's heart suddenly skipped a beat after hearing Li Zhen's words. Just then, the Yamen servant came to report that Zhou Ke and others were here!
