Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 63 The Secret of the Kong Family
Three days later, someone rushed to the county government office to report: "It's not good, the county magistrate! A corpse floated over the moat!"

This is a big sensational case, the body floated out of the river, this is like an explosion in the always peaceful city of Xianyang.

Mr. Wang hurried through the government office, and personally led his servants to the edge of the moat. The people had already stood in a row along the river, and the officers and soldiers had no choice but to say: "Your Excellency handles the case, idlers give way!"

Mr. Wang came down to the river under the escort of the officers and soldiers. When he saw the corpse lying in the river, he felt chills in his heart.

"Quick," Master Wang commanded in a trembling voice, "Hurry up and pick up the corpse, and let him do an autopsy!"

Because he knew in advance that there was a murder case, Wu Zuo had already been on standby in advance. He had been working in Xianyang for more than half a year, and he hadn't done a single job.Today is his first time working.

But Wu Zuo is Wu Zuo, and the craftsmanship was not lost after all. After the corpse was picked up, Wu Zuo took out the tools and started the autopsy on the spot.

Originally, Mr. Wang wanted to drag the corpse back to the county government, but his subordinates reminded that it is not easy to find out the problem with this kind of corpse soaked in water. If there is a delay, nothing will be found.

Mr. Wang had no choice but to spread a straw mat on the ground, and put the corpse temporarily.

The people around were scrambling to see the autopsy process, and the yamen servants kept gesturing for the people to back off, so busy that they were ashamed.

Wu Zuo reported while inspecting: "The deceased was a male, seven feet seven inches in length, and the time of death was about...about a few days ago."

Mr. Wang felt a little bad when he heard that the corpse was found, and then he heard what Wu Zuo said. This description seems to be a bit like the missing Mr. Su Ye that Miss Kong was looking for?
Mr. Wang was so heartbroken, the people onlookers were not even vegetarians, and the matter of the Kong family’s search for someone has been raging all over the city these days. right on.

Some people began to discuss in private: "Do you think it is Miss Kong's gentleman?"

Now that the two have admitted that they have a marriage contract, there is nothing wrong with calling him a gentleman.

This kind of speculation was immediately echoed by everyone. After all, everything is so coincidental. There have been no murders in Xianyang City for many years. A few days ago, the Kong family was looking for someone with great fanfare. In the blink of an eye, they really found the body. I don’t believe who is on it That.

Lord Wang coughed: "Can you identify this person?"

In fact, it was useless to ask, Wu Zuo shook his head: "This person has been soaking in the water for too long, and his face is so damaged that he can't see it. I'm afraid we can only post a notice to find someone."

Let's see which family has lost its population. Xianyang is so big that it can always be found.

Master Wang thought for a while about the handsome appearance of that Suye son, Fengshen, and then looked at the horrific corpse in front of him, he couldn't help feeling that the world is really impermanent.

In his heart, he completely felt that this corpse could not be thought of by others except Suye, and there was no second person in Xianyang to report the crime.

The notices were immediately posted all over the streets and alleys. Mr. Wang also sent a message to Kong Linglong "intimately", saying that an unknown corpse was found. If Miss Kong is interested, she may be able to come and identify it.

Yu'er's face turned pale on the spot, what's more, the person who sent the message specifically said that although he couldn't recognize the face, but judging from the appearance, he was somewhat similar to Mr. Su Ye.

Kong Linglong clenched her sleeve tightly, and said to the messenger: "Take me to the county government office."

Whether it is life or death, she must see is believing.

Yu'er was so sad that she wanted to shed tears along the way, seeing that the young lady kept her face pale and kept silent, she knew that she could make the young lady look like this, and she must have been very shocked in her heart.I remember that when Mr. Kong passed away, the young lady would not cry or make noise, nor would she speak...

Mr. Wang didn't expect Kong Linglong to come so soon, and he was stunned. He expected that Miss Kong would be hit a bit when she heard the news, and it might take a few days.But he didn't expect Kong Linglong to have such a temperament, and he had to see clearly if he recognized it, no matter how long it took, what could he avoid.

Lord Wang accompanied Kong Linglong all the way to the place where the corpse was parked in the mind of his parents and officials, and he still wanted to accompany him there, but Kong Linglong said: "My lord has a heart, and please allow Linglong to stay by herself."

It is not easy for Mr. Wang to stay here, and he said to Kong Linglong with pity: "Life and death are impermanent, miss is good at it."

After speaking, he floated out.

Kong Linglong wanted Yu'er to go out as well, but Yu'er choked up and said, "Miss, you can let this servant accompany you."

Kong Linglong didn't say a word, and those assistants also received Mr. Wang's eyes, and went out to make room for Miss Kong.I also thought to myself that this lady is really extraordinary, she is not afraid of being with a dead person.

Kong Linglong herself was a person who died once, looking at the corpse covered in white cloth, she felt a sudden excitement.

She pushed away Yu'er's hand that wanted to support her, walked slowly, trembling, and lifted the white cloth.

The disfigured face was the first thing to be seen when the corpse was exposed, Yu'er still screamed in fright, the person who sent the message had already stated that the corpse could not recognize the face, Kong Linglong continued to calmly, and retreated the white cloth to the arm.

Then she glanced at the corpse's wrist.

When Kong Linglong walked out, she didn't have any expression on her face, and Mrs. Wang hurried up to meet her: "Miss Kong, look?"

Without saying a word, Kong Linglong went straight out of the county office and got into the carriage.Yu'er, who was accompanying her, kept her mouth tightly shut, and she didn't reveal anything to the surrounding county government officials.

Mr. Wang is in a hurry. Seeing that Kong Linglong's carriage is about to leave, is this person Su Ye? Can you give me an accurate answer?

I saw Yu'er lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said solemnly: "My lord, our lady said, please be sure to track down the murderer behind this."

After saying this, Yu'er put down the curtain, and the carriage left the county government office without stopping.

Master Wang suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help sighing, "It must be, Miss Kong is so sad that she can't speak."

The surrounding yamen servants also showed sighing expressions.

After getting off the carriage and entering Kong's residence, Yu'er couldn't hide her excitement: "Miss, is that really not Mr. Su Ye?"

Although there was no joy on Kong Linglong's face, she also lost the solemnity she had before. She said softly, "I have seen Suye's hands, which are thin and callous-free, and I know that he can only hold a painting and a brush. That person in the county government office There is a thick layer of calluses on the palm, so it looks like a practicing family."

Lian Jiazi?Yu'er was terrified, knowing martial arts and still dying so badly?

Kong Linglong glanced at her slowly: "Ordinary people with ordinary hair will not get involved in the struggle. The more people in the martial arts, the easier it is to see blood."

No matter what Suye is fine, Yu'er still feels that the big rock has fallen: "Fortunately it's not Mr. Suye..."

Kong Linglong lowered her eyes, even if the corpse was not Su Ye, Su Ye's life and death are still uncertain, which is not something to be happy about.

Outside Kong's house, the man in black and Su Ye, who had been following Kong Linglong's master and servant, stood under the shade of a tree, and the man in black said: "Look at Miss Kong's appearance, whether you have recognized the corpse as the young master. "

Suye kept staring at the gate of Kong Zhai, as if the figure that had already entered was still imprinted in his eyes.

To what the man in black said, he just smiled lightly: "No, she didn't think it was me."

Living under the same roof for so many days, Kong Linglong knew Suye, and Suye also knew Kong Linglong.Just like when Kong Linglong went out, that pale face suddenly caused Suye a little pain.Without denying that moment, he wanted to go out and let her see him.

After returning, although Kong Linglong's face was still expressionless, her expression still changed, which made Suye heave a sigh of relief.

The man in black suddenly thought: "Actually, this is a good opportunity for the young master to leave Xianyang, just to let everyone know that Mr. Su Ye in Xianyang City is dead, and the young master escaped without any trace."

This is thanks to the Liu family.

Su Ye ignored the man in black, and glanced at him: "Get this matter done as soon as possible, and I will return to Kong's house within three days."

The man in black knew that he was talking in vain again, so he was sensible and stopped talking.

Yu'er was greatly relieved when the corpse on the river proved to be not Su Ye, but Kong Linglong felt more depressed than before.Because she knew very well that Xianyang is indeed a place with calm seas, and the sudden appearance of a dead body is absolutely impossible to be a coincidence, not to mention that during the time when Suye disappeared, let alone her two lifetimes, even she who was a little innocent in her previous life would not be a coincidence. It may be believed that there is no connection between them.

Now that someone has died, how will Suye's situation be?

In the middle of the night, Kong Linglong stood up alone and came to the candlestick again. Her hand was stretched out and retracted several times, and then she held it tightly.

"I really have a predestined relationship with Ms. Kong." On the day they met, Suye's solemn smile flashed through Kong Linglong's mind.

She immediately lost her temper.

In the courtyard, the man in black looked at the thing that Kong Linglong took out from the secret room in disbelief, and finally couldn't hide his excitement and said: "Young master! That is the alchemy book you are looking for this trip! It really is At Kong's house!"

Su Ye's face was pale, and she also looked at the thing that Kong Linglong was holding in her hand in disbelief, which was related to the fate of the Kong family.Did she really take it out, just for him?

By the candlelight, Kong Linglong looked at the Dan book with a faint face. In this life, she really didn't want to owe anyone's life. Once this thing was taken out, it would immediately change the fate of the Kong family, and the Kong family would never be able to live again. The merchants living in Xianyang, even if they are of low status, have unmatched peace and freedom.

No emperor hopes that there will be something more powerful than him in this world, even if there is, it cannot be left in his hands.

Kong Linglong grasped the Danshu tightly.

Outside the courtyard, the man in black said excitedly: "Young master, this opportunity is not to be missed. Please give me an order, and my subordinates will go and grab it immediately!"

With his skill, it is no problem to take something from a woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

But there was only a cold voice in his ear: "Forget what you saw just now, the Kong family, there has never been any alchemy book."
