Li Zheng frowned slightly, shouted "Come in", and leaned on the back of the chair and played with his fingers.

Xiao Cui carefully placed the chicken soup in front of Li Zheng, then lowered her head and pushed it away half a step.

"Master, drink while it's hot."

A line of information appeared in Li Zheng's mind in a very timely manner.

[Emotional judgment of the personal maid Xiao Cui: key emotions, panic (fear of second-level performance), nervousness, guilt. Panic level: level 4; Panic value: 22. Nervous level: level 2, nervousness value: 9, guilt level: level 2, guilt value, 10.]

Xiao Cui’s psychological activities are quite exciting. Not only are the emotions diverse at this time, but the three key emotions are also very high. Among them, the fear has risen to "panic"!

After learning about Xiao Cui's psychological activities, when Li Zheng looked at this bowl of chicken soup again, he no longer felt that it was a bowl of delicious food with a full color, fragrance and flavor.

Li Zheng can now 100% conclude that his is definitely a bowl of poisonous chicken soup!

"Xiao Cui, why?" Li Zheng looked up and looked at Xiao Cui with a smile.

Xiao Cui's face changed! She looked at Li Zheng in horror and stuttered, "Old, master, what, what, why?"

Li Zheng smiled slightly, "If you don't bring a spoon, why should I drink it? Why are you so careless?"

"Oh, oh," Xiao Cui gasped, her chest fluctuated violently, but at least she was relieved, "Master, look at Xiao Cui is confused, I'll bring it to the master immediately."

After saying that, Xiao Cui rushed out of the room as if she was running away.

Seeing Xiao Cui leave, Li Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Xiao Cui's emotions just now were like a roller coaster, and several key emotions kept changing. It seemed that he was so panicked.

I don’t know what method Xu Zhijin used to bribe Xiao Cui.

"Oh, it's a pity for a little girl." After Li Zheng said that, he poured out all the chicken soup from the window, put the bowl back in front of him, and picked up a book and sat upright.

Li Zheng can't reveal his intentions yet. He wants to pretend to hide it from Xiao Cui, and he can hide it for a while.

Otherwise, if Xu Zhijin and Wang Yuan know, it is very likely that the account book will not be found!

"Chu Zhi, Liu Dagui, you two should be faster. Xu Zhijin and Wang Yuan have already started!"

………………………………………

Hejin County.

A small county town adjacent to Dahua County is also affiliated to Jiaohe County, located 50 miles northwest of Dahua County.

At this time, more than 30 corpses of all sizes were lying in the county yard of Hejin County.

All of these corpses were covered with straw mats, but even so, through the tattered straw mats, people could still vaguely see these corpses' unrecognizable faces.

The magistrate of Chu County, Hejin County, and the lords covered their noses and looked at the corpses with disgust.

"Captain Zhang, what's going on? Why did so many people die all of a sudden? Who are these people!"

A solid middle-aged man reported, "Sir, I and several police officers received reports from the people, saying that last night, I heard screams in Panjia Village in the suburbs of the county. When we went over to check, we found that Panjia Village seemed to have been massacred, covered with blood everywhere, which was terrible. Then we began to check around."

"At first, we did not find any corpses. But later, when our subordinates passed a dry well, they found a fishy smell coming out, so they were asked to check it out, and they found these corpses, a total of thirty-nine corpses, all of which were already here."

Hejin County is not big, with only a few or a dozen families in a small village, but thirty-nine bodies were found at once, which was equivalent to being slaughtered in the village.

"Don't put it here, just take it to the coroner!" The magistrate Chu almost vomited out and quickly asked someone to pull the bodies away.

The police officers also looked disgusted. They finally pushed the bodies to the county government, but now they are moving these disgusting bodies. It is really disgusting. They are reluctant to take action.

The previous captain stood up again, "Sir, our charity village may not be able to let go of these many people."

It would be nice to have five or six people in a charity village in a small county town. Now there are almost forty corpses at once, so the charity village will definitely not be able to let go.

"Sir, when so many corpses are pushed back, there must be many people who see them. If such a big case is not investigated clearly, it may be difficult to calm the people's hearts." A thin scholar said on the side.

Although this Chu County Magistrate is not a clean official, he is not considered a huge corrupt person. He probably has a little slack in the trial of the case and occasionally gains benefits.

Of course, it’s not that he doesn’t want to be greedy. Hejin County has only more than 6,000 people, which is smaller than Dahua County and has a sparse population. In addition, the people are too poor, so he has no place to be greedy even if he wants to be greedy.

There was not even a county magistrate or a county magistrate in the county. The superior sent him a current official, and even his official title was the county magistrate, which was one level lower than Li Zheng's county magistrate. It is conceivable how embarrassing his situation was.

In short, no matter what the reason is, the magistrate of Chu is not so bad. He really has to investigate such a big thing in the county.

"So, call the coroner here."

Someone has already called the coroner, but it will take some time to go back and forth.

The magistrate of Chu looked at Captain Zhang, "Captain Zhang, have you checked the injuries of these people? What exactly was killed?"

Captain Zhang suddenly stopped talking for a long time, his face full of embarrassment, as if he was organizing language, but he felt it was unlikely, and he could not say anything after repeated several times.

"Captain Zhang, you are a martial arts practitioner at least. You can't tell what kind of injury you are?" Zheng Zhubo was a little impatient.

Captain Zhang frowned, thought for a while, and clasped his fists, "Sir, these people don't seem to be killed by weapons. Each of them is furious and difficult to identify, but his subordinates found a large number of tooth marks on some of them."

"Tooth Seal? Could it be that it was attacked by wild animals?" the magistrate of Chu County inferred.

Captain Zhang shook his head, and the suspicion on his face became stronger and stronger. "It's not a wild beast, but my subordinates actually look more like... like..."

"What do you think? You said, Oh my mom, are you going to kill me?" County Magistrate Chu was almost forced out of his prostate by this Captain Zhang. What happened to Captain Zhang today? He was hesitant. He was not like this usually.

Captain Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "It seems like he was bitten!"

Hearing this answer, the magistrate of Chu County, Zheng Zhubo, and several yamen runners who had never seen the corpse could not help but shrink back and look at the corpses in horror.

They have seen all the dead, and now they are in chaos, and they have seen many dead people.

People have also heard of eating people. Now there are countless hungry people. It’s March again. It’s cold and the ground is freezing. It’s inevitable that someone will starve or die. For those who are too hungry and losing their minds, eating people is not without cause.

But the problem is, these people were not eaten at all!

Since it is not for eating them, is it just simply killing them?

This situation is a bit unreasonable.

The magistrate of Chu swallowed a saliva and said to Captain Zhang, "Zhang, Zhang, Captain Zhang, please pick up a pair of straw mats and take a look."

Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment, pulled out his sword, and picked up the straw mat on the body in front of him.

At this time, the true appearance of the corpse finally appeared in front of everyone in full.

This is a female corpse, with a festered body and a charred skin. The flesh on her face and neck had been torn apart, and the only half of her face was extremely ferocious.

Looking down, it was even more terrible. Half of the body had been hollowed out, revealing a piece of red ribs. The reason why the ribs were red is because they were stained with blood.

The muscles of the limbs of the corpse seem to be very stiff, maintaining a strange posture, and it looks like a mummy.

With a wow sound, Zheng Zhubo couldn't help but spit it out in one mouthful.

Immediately afterwards, the magistrate of Chu County and the yamen runners could not bear it and all vomited out.

This woman's way of death is even more terrifying than Lingchi or Five Horses' Dismemberment!
