"Brother Wu is not good. A murder occurred in Xiahe Village. County Magistrate Han asked you to take the coroner to have an autopsy!" The young yamen runner rushed into the charity village and saw Lu Wu, and immediately shouted loudly.

"It's so bad that he encountered a murder as soon as he came back!" Lu Wu slapped the table again when he heard this, but the table, which was already overwhelmed, squeaked again, and it was about to fall apart.

The yamen runners in the yamen are generally divided into three types, namely the yang team, the sole class, and the fast class. Among them, the yang team is not permanent. Only when an emergency occurs will the yamen temporarily convene the township and the throne team. The yamen is responsible for standing and serving as a guard of honor for the county magistrates. In other words, when the county magistrates are promoted to the hall in later TV, the group of guys who shout "magnificent" sometimes also serve as executioners.

As for the last fast shift, its responsibilities are the most complicated, such as reconnaissance cases, arresting thieves, patrolling streets and urging rents and taxes, etc., which are equivalent to later police, urban management, taxation, etc., and the fast shift is divided into horse fast and step fast. Because they both have the responsibilities of reconnaissance cases and arresting thieves, they are collectively called constables in later generations. However, strictly speaking, Ma fast focuses more on the responsibilities of police, and Lu Wu is the head of the fast shift's Ma fast shift. Now that a murder occurs, he will naturally be present.

"Have you informed Yang Jizhuo? Let him go for the autopsy as soon as possible. This new Han County Wei is young and energetic, and he is a new Jinshi. We can't afford to offend him!" Lu Wu said and stood up and prepared to go to Xiahe Village.

"Brother Wu, you are not here these days, so I don't know. Yang Jiezu helped someone carry the coffin two days ago, but he was smashed to vomit blood after an accident. Now he can't even get out of bed." The yamen runner who reported the news said with a difficult face. Jiezuzu was barely considered a person in the yamen, but he is usually very free. He would only look for them when encountering autopsy or something. Usually they would do odd jobs, such as helping people with funerals, so as to subsidize their family income.

When Lu Wu heard this, his face darkened. There were two coroners in the yamen. Apart from Yang Coroners, there were only Li Zhang, the gambling father. However, he had been hiding in various casinos for many years because he was owed debts. He still didn't know where he went?

"In this way, go to Kaifeng County and second it to Xu Junyuan!" Lu Wu hesitated for a moment and finally made a decision. Kaifeng Prefecture has several counties under its jurisdiction, Kaifeng and Xiangfu are both Jing counties, and there are also many exchanges between them.

"Run to Kaifeng County? It's too far, and the Han County Magistrate has been waiting in Xiashui Village. I'll take at least one day to go back and forth. What should I do if the Han County Magistrate is angry?" The yamen runner said with a embarrassed expression when he heard Lu Wu's words. After saying that, he looked at Li Zhang. After all, if Li Zhang's father was there, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

"I'll go to Xiashui Village first. You go to the yamen and ride a horse and go back quickly. If County Guard Han blames him, I will take it first!" Lu Wu gritted his teeth and said. He didn't want to offend the County Guard Han. After all, he was a righteous and open Jinshi. His squad seems to be very generous, but in fact his status is very low, and he is not even as good as the clerk in the county government. So if the other party really blames him, he may not be able to take it.

"Uncle Wu, I'll go with you if it doesn't work!" But at this moment, Li Zhang suddenly said with a calm expression. The reason why they brothers and sisters can live in Yizhuang was mainly because of Lu Wu's protection, so he didn't want to make Lu Wu too embarrassed, let alone just checking the body. Li Zhang felt that it should be difficult for him.

"You? Stop making trouble, what do you know, a child?" Lu Wu was stunned at first when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then said impatiently. Although Li Zhang's father was a coroner, he spent most of his time gambling outside and never taught Li Zhang anything related to coroner. Moreover, Li Zhang was so young, so he didn't believe that Li Zhang had this ability at all.

"Uncle Wu, I heard what you meant just now. The County Guard Han had just taken office and was young and energetic. I was probably about to use someone else to establish his authority. We are also very grateful for our family's care. But after all, it has broken the rules in the yamen. If County Guard Han caught the handle, he might really dare to use you. If you really implicate you because of our affairs, I am afraid that Li'er and I will feel guilty for the rest of our lives." Li Zhang said calmly again.

"But you don't know how to do autopsy, and you're so young, what's the point of going?" Lu Wu was a little moved when he heard Li Zhang's words, but then he said a little unbelievable.

"How can I know if I don't try it? After all, I am the son of a coroner. I have learned some things through my eyes." Li Zhang heard that Lu Wu's tone was a little shaken, and he couldn't help but smile confidently.

Although Li Zhang was not a forensic doctor in his previous life, he was also involved with doctors. He mainly worked in medicine. When he first graduated, he felt that he should make a breakthrough in his youth. In addition, he wanted to earn more money, so he was sent to a ghost place in Africa by the company. His salary was not low, but he was earned by his life, especially the turmoil in which he was stationed, and the social environment was extremely harsh. Robbery, gunfire and so on were almost common.

In addition to the harsh social environment, the local natural environment is also harsh, and various infectious diseases are emerging one after another. This is also the reason why Li Zhang and his company conduct business in the local area. Li Zhang could not trust the local doctor's level and coupled with the business needs, he also learned a lot of medical knowledge by himself. If his colleagues around him have headaches, fever or injuries, they usually ask him to deal with it.

What is even more worth mentioning is that Li Zhang is still a detective fan. He has read almost all forensic novels and TV. Of course, the novels and TV cannot be taken seriously, but at least he has popularized a lot of forensic knowledge. In addition, he has taught himself a lot of medical knowledge, so he feels that it should be no problem for him to act as a coroner, especially the technology of coronering in the Song Dynasty was very primitive. Song Ci was a native of the Southern Song Dynasty and had not even appeared in "Xiyi Lu", and Li Zhang also read "Xiyi Lu", and he felt that his level should not be worse than that of Song Ci, an ancient man.

Although Lu Wu still doubted Li Zhang's ability, he knew that Li Zhang's analysis was right. County Magistrate Han had just taken office and was about to find someone to establish his authority during this period. Moreover, as a county Magistrate, the other party was in charge of public security and robbery. It was his immediate boss. It was easy to deal with such a small team leader.

Just as Lu Wu was hesitating, another yamen runs over and shouts when he sees him: "Brother Wu, County Magistrate Han urges you to bring the coroner over quickly. Today, I must have a autopsy!"

When Lu Wu heard the words of the yamen runner, his face darkened. There were only two coroners in the yamen. Moreover, Yang coroners were seriously injured and vomited blood. County Magistrate Han could not have known it, but he urged him to bring the coroners over, obviously wanting to get along with him. After all, everyone in the yamen knew that Li Zhang's family was protected by him. It seemed that the other party really wanted to attack him.

"Okay, Dalang, come with me, let's go and meet this Han County Captain!" Lu Wu finally gritted his teeth and made a decision. He didn't want to cause trouble, but if the other party really treats him as a soft persimmon, he would be polite. After all, he has not been in vain for years. As for Li Zhang who can complete the autopsy, it is naturally the best thing. If it cannot be completed, then he will just touch the other party. Even if he is in the team, he will still give the other party some color!

Seeing Lu Wu agreeing, Li Zhang finally showed a happy expression. However, when he heard the title of "Dalang", his face collapsed, because this title easily reminds people of the "Dalang" named Wu. However, he also knew that "Dalang" was a common name for the eldest son of the family by elders or peers, and he happened to be the eldest son of the family, so it was not wrong to call him Dalang.

Li Zhang had difficulty in legs and feet, so Lu Wu asked a yamen runner to carry him on his back. Li Zhang also told Li Er to take good care of his home at home, and then he left the house with Lu Wu and the others. At the same time, he also left Bianhe Town for the first time.

Xiashui Village is not far away, just in the southeast corner of Bianhe Town, where there is a tributary of the Bianhe River, which makes irrigation very convenient. So several villages are formed along the river, and Xiashui Village is located at the lowest point. The village is not big, with only dozens of families. Originally, it was just a quiet small village, but today it broke the peace of the village due to a murder.

While walking, Lu Wu asked the yamen runners who reported the news about the murder case. Li Zhang also listened quietly. According to the yamen runners who reported the news, the deceased was a villager from Xiashui Village. The other party was named Liu Da. He was originally doing business outside and only returned home yesterday, but today he was suddenly found dead in the woods behind the village and was hanged.

In the yamen, they usually don’t care about things like killing. After all, the ancient government ruled the grassroots level relatively weakly. As long as no one reported the case, no one would pay attention to it even if someone died.

But the deceased's younger brother did not believe that his elder brother would commit suicide, because according to him, when his elder brother came back yesterday, he drank with him, and he also happily told himself that he had earned a lot of money from doing business outside, and even asked him to find someone to renovate his house in his hometown. As a result, the other party committed suicide after only one night, which was obviously unreasonable, so he ran to the county government to report the case.

Originally, a murder case that was not known to be suicide or homicide did not require Han County Magistrate to go there personally, but this was the first murder case he had taken office. So after receiving the report, Han County Magistrate immediately took the people to Xiashui Village for personal inspection, and now he is waiting for Lu Wu to take the coroner to take the autopsy.

After a while, Li Zhang and Lu Wu finally arrived at Xiashui Village. There were many villagers gathered outside the woods behind the village, and there were several yamen runners mixed in. However, Li Zhang felt a little anxious when he saw this. Because there was no cordon or something like that at the scene, the villagers could also go in and out at will. It was estimated that the scene had been destroyed long ago, which made him doubt the criminal investigation work in the Song Dynasty. He didn't even have this basic common sense. How did the people in the yamen solve the case?
