He shouted: "Light the fire!"
The yamen runners did not dare to move.
"Master, this matter... this matter is too weird!"
"Yes, how about...how about just forgetting about it? The case hasn't been judged yet, let's just burn the body here. If the person has been wronged, we...we..."
"There are more than 20 people in the Hong family..."
……
Seeing their reactions, Gong Lianxue and Xiang Nanyu couldn't help but snicker.
The lawyer scolded: "You bunch of idiots, you dare not do anything just because of a gust of wind? Are you qualified to be a yamen runner like this?"
The yamen runners exchanged glances, but no one spoke.
Of course, no one lit the fire.
This time, the lawyer could no longer threaten, so he tried to appease her.
"According to the rules of our government, the body should be placed in the morgue for seven days. After confirming that no one has claimed the body, it should be buried in a mass grave or cremated, right? The Hong family was wiped out, so how could anyone come to claim the body? What's the difference between burning it now and in the future?"
The lawyer's face changed to a good one, and the yamen runners dared to speak.
"Maybe there are distant relatives..."
"Besides, if you want to burn it, don't do it in the street. The military manual says that doing so will harm the harmony of nature."
"Master, how about burial?"
……
The lawyer was depressed.
If the prefect allowed burial, he would have done it long ago.
The problem now is that the superiors have requested that the bodies be burned as soon as possible, and have even ordered that there should be no delay.
Therefore, they did not have the time to move the matter out of the city.
In order to prevent fire, the master ordered the body to be moved to the door of the morgue before burning, which was considered disobeying orders.
If the governor knew that I didn't follow his orders 100%...
"Gu..."
He couldn't help but swallow.
"You don't burn it, do you?"
No one answered.
"Okay, I'll burn it."
"promise!"
When the yamen runner heard the lawyer say that he wanted to burn it himself, he immediately handed him the torch and very considerately helped him light the fire.
Master: ￣□￣｜｜
Damn it, these little bastards, just wait for me!
This matter is over, you are in trouble!
He prayed in his heart: "Hong family, this matter is not my fault, you should blame the master. If you want to kill him, he lives in the innermost courtyard of Xinglin Lane. The concubine he likes to sleep with is the third wife. The third wife lives in the second wing room from north to south on the west side. If you want to find him, you can probably pull him off the bed in that room tonight. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, don't look for me... don't look for me... don't look for me..."
The master slowly approached the pile of corpses holding a torch.
Gong Lianxue raised her eyebrows at Xiang Nanyu.
This is a silent question: "Will you come or should I come?"
Xiang Nanyu smiled, lowered his head and looked for it. Suddenly, he kicked his left foot and a small stone flew up.
then,
Clang——
The sword came out of its sheath.
The hilt of the sword hit the stone squarely, and the stone flew out like a cannonball, straight toward the torch in the master's hand.
The plan was that it would fly past the cloth on the torch and extinguish the flame.
However, things backfired,
A stone of similar size flew in from nowhere.
thump—
There was a muffled sound.
Xiang Nanyu and Gong Lianxue attacked almost at the same time.
The former ran towards the direction where the second stone came from, while the latter drew out his whip, swung it fiercely, and blew out the torch with a strong wind.
The master didn't realize that the torch in his hand had gone out, so he closed his eyes and threw the "wooden stick" into the fire.
1 second……
2 second……
10 second……
I don’t know how much time passed, but I still didn’t feel the heat coming towards me.
He slowly opened his eyes.
The next moment, he fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed to the bodies of the Hong family members, and shouted, "Don't look for me! Don't look for me! Don't look for me! Don't look for me! Don't look for me!"
On the other side, Xiang Nanyu returned to Gong Lianxue and shook his head seriously.
"When I arrived, the man was gone."
"How many grades?"
“It’s not lower than me, but it doesn’t feel higher than me either.”
"Tsk..."
Gong Lianxue glanced at the master who was still kowtowing and didn't say much.
It's the end of the month
It's the end of the month, so if you have tickets, please clear them out. The update plan for next month is still to guarantee two updates at least, and add more updates based on the rewards and monthly tickets.
Chapter 202 Scare
In front of the mortuary,
The yamen runners felt that the night wind blowing on their cheeks was cold and gloomy.
The hot and humid air in Bozhou was like the breath coming out of the mouth of some indescribable thing, as if it could wake up the corpses lying there at any time.
"This...hiss...is it true..."
"The Hong family has been wronged!"
"Don't burn it, let's just move back."
……
They were so frightened that their faces turned black. They went over to help the master up.
Unexpectedly, mixed with the stench of the corpse, there was also a faint smell of fishy smell.
The master was so scared that he peed his pants.
Seeing this, the fear of the yamen runners was diluted. They glanced away and tried their best not to laugh.
Sure enough, a straw bag is a straw bag.
But we can't blame the elderly. After all, they are so old and their urinary system has been tested. Frequent urination, urgency and incomplete urination are normal diseases.
Someone whispered, "What to do with the body?"
The master was silent.
"..."
"Then we move back?"
"..."
"We moved. We really moved."
"..."
Seeing the legal advisor looking dumbfounded, the yamen runners were in a dilemma.
Just then, footsteps were heard at the corner of the street.
They cast their gazes away.
I saw Judge Sun Wei walking towards this side, accompanied by a young man. The young man had a thin and long knife on his waist, which looked like a scholar's sword.
The yamen runners weighed their whistle sticks and thought that the sword was just a decoration.
Sun Wei came over.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you move the body out of the morgue? Don't you know that the air outside is hot and humid, and the body will rot easily?"
Spreading lime outside the morgue can absorb moisture and prevent mosquitoes, snakes, and rats.
The guards quickly surrounded Sun Wei.
They recounted what had just happened in one breath, focusing on describing how the torches went out twice, making it sound so miraculous that it seemed as if the ghosts of the Hong family were right beside them.
Li Qingcha: “…”
It sounds like a monk did it...
She looked around.
At the west end of the street, two little heads popped out from the corner of the wall. They were Xiang Nanyu and Gong Lianxue.
The two of them winked at Li Qingcha cutely.
Call ~
Li Qingcha let out a long sigh.
Turns out it was the two of them, so there was no need to worry.
She looked at the corpse and asked Sun Wei in a low voice: "Sir, according to our Daxia Law, is it a serious crime to burn a corpse at will?"
This is actually a knowing question to some extent.
Before this, Li Qingcha had read the "Daxia Law" twice and knew that it was a crime to dispose of corpses at will, but he had forgotten the specific punishment.
When the master heard this, he stopped lying on the ground in a daze.
"Who are you? How dare you question the government's work?"
"Here... let me show you this."
Li Qingcha took out the tooth cards.
Everyone in Bozhou Prefecture, anyone with a name or surname, had heard the news that the Seventh Prince was coming, and that the head coach of the Young Phoenix Camp would come first to scout the area.
The master was paralyzed instantly.
Even if he had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to challenge the person who was entrusted with the emperor's order.
He said, "It turned out to be Mr. Li."
Li Qingcha: “…”
Being addressed as "sir" by an old man gave her goose bumps.
The master swallowed his saliva.
"It's like this. In July, when the weather turns hot, the bodies will inevitably rot if left in the mortuary, which can easily breed plague, so the master ordered us to burn the bodies."
