No one expected that there would be someone buried in this quiet courtyard, but thinking about the men in black last night, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the murders here.

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

If this man was the accomplice of the man in black, he would probably have to be dealt with as Chen Anhe told them last night. But if it was the owner of the yard or other innocent people, he would have to report to the official.

Sheng Xi looked at the half-sleeved sleeve and said, "Dig out the person first and see if there are any clues. As for how to deal with it, I will talk about it later."

"Yes!" Zhou Ke was supposed to be so, so he said to the others, "Hurry up, dig!"

So, the few people who followed Sheng Xi took various tools and continued to dig out the corpse.

After about two cups of tea, the body was finally dug out, and there were slight signs of decay on its body. I thought that it had not yet entered the summer and was buried underground. Sheng Xi inferred that this person should have died about seven days ago.

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

Sheng Xi didn't say anything, but found a cloth towel to check it out, but was stopped by Zhou Ke: "Girl, we'll do this kind of thing! Just look at it!"

Although they knew that their girls were good at kung fu and brave, they should do it like touching the body! If the son-in-law found out, he was afraid that he would be able to preach.

Well, although my son-in-law 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 found a small letter showing off from the inside of the corpse!

"Girl, there are words here!" Zhou Ke shouted, then tilted his head to identify the words, "Lin? Is it Lin? Look!"

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

Sheng Xi also came over and confirmed that the word "Lin".

Embroidering a font inside a clothes is something that many rich families will do, and the word "Lin" is mostly a name rather than a surname. However, there are many rich families who can embroider a font inside a clothes. It is really not too difficult to find out who this person is with just one word!

Looking at this person's face again, there is not much characteristic.

Sheng Xi thought for a while and said to Zhou Ke: "Send someone to ask Li Zheng to see if anyone has a missing person?"

"Yes!" Zhou Ke said so, and immediately called someone to ask.

After the man left, they continued to search. Soon, the man came back, but the news he brought was "No".

Sheng Xi frowned and her eyes fell on the corpse for a moment of contemplation. Then she suddenly said, "Zhou Ke, take someone to wrap the body, don't expose it, find a way to take it to the county government as soon as possible. I will go to find County Magistrate Li first."

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

Sheng Xi led the horse, jumped onto the horse, and rushed to the county town with a quick horse.

It is necessary for Li Zhen to know about this matter at the moment. He originally didn't want to trouble him, but whether it was the person who was obviously knocked out and buried alive or the men in black, Shangyang Town is no longer safe now. In addition to protecting themselves, someone also needs to take care of him.

When Sheng Xi arrived, Li Zhen was in trouble at the yard. He was about to go back to the backyard when he suddenly heard someone coming to report Sheng Xi to look for him. He came forward to greet him in person. Seeing Sheng Xi was exhausted and serious, Li Zhen thought to himself, could it be that Sheng Guangzong was coming to make trouble again? But his face was silent and 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 drank a sip of tea and moistened her throat, and then briefly described the incident last night to Li Zhen.

When Li Zhen heard this, he frowned and said in surprise: "There is such a group of people? I don't even know here!"

Sheng Xize said: "It is normal for adults to know that those people act secretly. If they had not touched my home, we would not have discovered them. Moreover, they did not do theft and looting. The people think that it is better to do less than more things. It is normal not to report to you."

Li Zhen nodded, not denying Sheng Xi's words: "Don't worry, I will ask people to pay attention to these people to see if they have any other accomplices."

Sheng Xi said "um" and then told her about the courtyard of Shangyang Town.

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

Now he is only thinking about how to make the people live a good life. Most of his energy is on the economy. After the man in black, he will have a murder case. This is obviously a matter for him to take care of these things! But it is not enough not to get it. After all, this is a matter within his jurisdiction, and it is also related to Sheng Xi's family.

"Do you want me to check if there are any people who have been lost recently called Lin?" Li Zhen said.

Sheng Xi nodded: "Yes, that man's clothes are very well-material and fit, not like the clothes he wears. So I wonder if he was the master of a missing wealthy family."

Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "You wait a moment, I'll come!"

And when he comes back, he already has 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 flowers in this age, and the government has suppressed and arrested them repeatedly. There is no way, the county government has limited personnel, so it is difficult to send people out to investigate but not enough. Once this person is lost, it is almost impossible to find it again, so men, women, and young people gather here. There are a lot of people, and I can't remember the names clearly, so I can only check them one by one."

Sheng Xi looked at the stack of documents and sighed in her heart. Behind each piece of paper is the sorrow of a family, whether modern or ancient.

Although the documents were thick, they were really quick to check. After searching, they did find a name with "Lin" in their name, but unfortunately, no matter whether it is background, age, or appearance described in the documents, they did not match the people in the small courtyard.

Seeing Sheng Xi frowning, Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "Sheng Xi, don't worry, maybe it's too short, some people are not sure if the person has lost it, and it's possible to report it later. Or, it's possible that the person is from another province. Hey, when it comes to another province..." Li Zhen suddenly thought of something when he said this, but then he laughed at himself, "I must have seen that these time have been too long, and he actually treats everyone as missing people."

Seeing this, Sheng Xi asked curiously: "What did sir think of?"

Seeing Sheng Xi was curious, Li Zhen did not hide it from it, and said the thought that had just passed by: "More than ten days ago, Lord Shi, the Tongzong of Yezhou, came here. The man's surname was Shi Xuelin. I don't know why I sucked my mind, but I actually thought of Lord Shi."
