In Jieting, ten miles away from Zhenba County, the county government official Bingbi was leading a group of Zaoli to welcome two constables who were given the "God's Captain Token". It was almost noon, and although it was November, the sun was still very fierce. The people standing there were already tilted. Seeing their tired appearance, they obviously had been standing here and waiting since the morning. When Lu Yaoyang and the "ruthless" carriage arrived, everyone cheered. Some people took out suona, drums, drums, and drums to show their welcome.

The surname of Master Bingbi of Zhenba County is Tang. He is in his forties. He is short and has a fat body. From a distance, he looks like an oval ball. His face is always smiling. You can't see your eyes when you smile. Master Tang stepped forward and greeted Lu Yaoyang, "Wuqing" and welcomed the two of them into the county government.

The entire county government office is divided into three places. The first one is the largest one is the lobby of the county government office. There are also Zaoliyao runners on both sides and the room for rest on duty. The second one is the largest hall for meeting guests and office work. There is a row of wing rooms on both sides. The three masters invited by the former County Magistrate Zhang live here. The last one is the place where the county magistrate and his family live.

Master Tang first introduced all the rooms and functions of the first entry. Then when he arrived at the second entry, Master Tang said, "Originally, the boss hired three masters. In addition to me, Master Bingbi, there was also Master Qian and Master Ming Zheng. But they were afraid of being implicated and had already returned to their hometown."

Lu Yaoyang smiled and said, "Then aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Master Tang squeezed into a pile of fat faces, which was very funny. He said, "I have no choice but to leave someone to complete the handover. When the handover with the new county magistrate is completed, I can retire successfully."

Lu Yaoyang said nothing, Master Tang continued: "The boss's family is right behind. Alas, the boss's family has left a wife and a concubine, and two boys and three girls. How should this family live?"

Lu Yaoyang said in a deep voice: "Go and see his family."

Master Tang nodded and said, "The case is not yet finalized, so they still live in the backyard. When the new county magistrate arrives, they must return to their original hometown."

Master Tang said while bringing Lu Yaoyang and Wuqing into the last yard. The two women received the news and were gathering in the reception room of the backyard with five children in a panic. Lu Yaoyang looked at them carefully. One of them was in his thirties and looked very haggard. Next to her was a woman in her early 20s who was holding her. It was obviously the concubine of Zhang County Magistrate Zhang, and her face was still covered with tears, which was a bit charming. The eldest of the five children behind him was about 15, and the youngest was held in his hand. As usual, Lu Yaoyang asked a few questions each and walked out of the reception room.

Lu Yaoyang said to Master Tang who was following him: "I want to see the body of County Magistrate Zhang and the room where the crime occurred."

County Magistrate Tang looked embarrassed. Na Na said, "You have to see the room where the crime happened. No problem. It has been closed since the body was found. But the body cannot be seen."

Lu Yaoyang stopped and said coldly: "Why can't you look at the corpse?"

Master Tang said slowly, "The body has been parked in the charity village for too long. Although it has been November now, it will still smell bad. The dead are the most important, and it cannot be buried in peace. The whole county is uneasy. This is also the request of the family of Zhang County Magistrate, and we have to do so."

Lu Yaoyang nodded and did not express his opinion on this. The three of them came to a room with seals. Master Tang stepped forward and carefully removed the seal and pushed open the door. Perhaps no one came to take care of it for a long time, and a stream of dust rushed over. Lu Yaoyang fanned his hand and stepped into the room. Master Tang stood outside consciously.

Lu Yaoyang looked at the messy room. He collected the scene with a collector and pushed "Wuqing" out of the room.

Master Tang closed the door and pasted the seal again. Lu Yaoyang said to him: "I want to see the records left by the coroner when the county magistrate Zhang died. By the way, he went to worship the county magistrate Zhang."

Master Tang nodded quickly and said, "The record of the coroner has been prepared long ago. I'll get it."

Seeing Master Tang’s chubby body rolling and running further and further away, Lu Yaoyang turned around and came to the 'ruthless' face, squatted and asked, "Do you see anything?"

"Wuqing" is still not used to Lu Yaoyang squatting in front of him like this, putting his face close to him and talking to him. He leaned back slightly and said, "There is no problem with the family of Zhang County Magistrate Zhang. It's just that the master is suspicious, and he encouraged the family of Zhang County Magistrate Zhang to bury Zhang County Magistrate early. I think this master is hiding very deeply, and all I see is just a fur. Why not, if you test him a few words, I can get more news."

Lu Yaoyang calmed for a moment and said, "I think it's better to observe it secretly. I finally had a living mouth, and I don't want to alarm the snake. You can observe him more often. If he doesn't know many clues, we can also track down the people who are in contact with him. This kind of gain is much greater than just grabbing him directly. Anyway, he can't run away, look."

"Wuqing" also felt that Lu Yaoyang was right, so he nodded. At this time, Master Tang ran over with the coroner's record text. While he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with his sleeves. "Two sirs, this is the record of coroner,"

Lu Yaoyang handed the manuscript to 'Wuqing', and 'Wuqing' went over and said to Lu Yaoyang: "The coroner's identification of the hang marks in the shape of a "v": the lowest part is the deepest, rising to both sides gradually shallow, and finally disappears, with only one trace. The tongue is exposed, there is no obvious blood in the mouth. There is no other scar on the body, and there is no sign of poisoning. It can be judged as suicide."

Lu Yaoyang thought for a while and nodded, "Let's go to the grave to take a look."

Master Tang led Lu Yaoyang and Wuqing to climb a hill: "The boss was buried here."

Lu Yaoyang observed around and found that this place was a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. The mountains and rivers were surrounded by hills covered with green grass. Lu Yaoyang used a collector to collect the body of Zhang County Magistrate Zhang. Then he pretended to worship and he would come to the county government.

Master Tang led the two to a wing room in the county government courtyard and said, "There are 5 rooms here. In the past, the three of us masters all lived here. There are two more rooms, one is a warehouse. In the last room of this row of wing room, there is another room we use as a study room, and we are in the first room of this row of wing room." He said, pointing to the two connected wing rooms in the middle and said, "There has been empty after they left. If you don't dislike it, live here." After saying that, he pointed to one of the two wing rooms next to the two wing rooms and said, "I live in this room. If you have any questions, call me immediately."

Lu Yaoyang pointed to the row of wing rooms opposite and asked, "What are those rows of wing rooms for?"
