Chapter 129 Chicheng Sign-in
The sacrifice was very complicated and took more than an hour from start to finish.
After the sacrifice, people began to throw things into the river, including fruits, food and sachets.
Yuan Man frowned slightly when he saw this action, but this bad habit has existed since ancient times.
She couldn't bear to watch it, so she decided to go back first.
Just as she walked out of the crowd, a carriage stopped beside her. Hui Chengyuan lifted the curtain and said, "You didn't even tell me you were here."
Yuan Man got on the carriage and asked, "Are you ready to go back? Didn't you say you would go back in the afternoon?"
Yuanbao had never seen Hui Chengyuan dressed like this before, and looked at him with curiosity.
Hui Chengyuan smiled and said, "Yes, but there is still bridge construction and other things to arrange."
"I'll take you back later, and then we need to go to the government office."
"it is good."
……
Yuan Man had just woken up from a nap when Hui Chengyuan came back, "Ali, I need to go to Chicheng. Guo Sen had an accident and died in the Jiedu Mansion."
Yuan Man looked at him in surprise, "Why did he die suddenly?"
Hui Chengyuan shook his head, "I don't know. The cause of death is unknown."
"I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to Mengcheng to eat roasted whole lamb tomorrow."
Yuan Man waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, business is more important, I can go by myself tomorrow."
Hui Chengyuan: “((￣ロ￣llll))”
Why does it seem like it doesn't matter whether he's there or not?
Seeing this, Yuan Man said, "Don't worry, I'll bring two sheep back and we can eat together when you come back."
Wasn't comforted.
Just as Hui Chengyuan was about to leave, the system rang.
[Ding, next check-in point, Chicheng.]
Yuan Man: “…” Hui Chengyuan’s previous expression is her current expression.
He quickly caught up with Hui Chengyuan who was about to mount his horse and said, "I'll go too."
Although Hui Chengyuan was puzzled, he did not ask the reason, but asked: "On horseback or in a carriage?"
"Let's ride a horse. Taking a carriage is too slow." Yuanman had already asked Yuanxi to lead the horse.
Find a silk scarf and tie it around Yuan Man's face to prevent her from choking on the wind when she runs too fast.
Holding the ingot in one hand, he jumped on his horse and said, "Let's go."
Hui Chengyuan looked at Yuanbao in her arms and said, "How about I hold Yuanbao?"
"It's okay. I'll hold you again when I'm tired." After Yuanman said that, he ran out.
Hui Chengyuan immediately rode his horse to chase after him.
The distance from Xizhou to Chicheng is similar to the distance from Xizhou to Mengcheng. At the end of the Shen time, the group entered Chicheng.
[Ding, Chi Cheng can sign in, do you want to sign in? ]
"Sign in."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. The sign-in reward is one million taels of silver, a report on the cause of Guo Sen's death, a small courtyard, a farm, ten farmers, 540 acres of land, and 5,000 cattle. The relevant items have been placed in the backpack, please check them.]
Yuan Man: “…”
Investigation report on the cause of Guo Sen’s death?
The group arrived at the Chicheng government office. Hui Chengyuan had to go see Guo Sen's body, so he asked Yuan Man to go to the back government office to rest first.
Yuan Man glanced at the government office and said, "I have a small courtyard here. Let's live there for the time being."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Okay, then you take Yuanbao over there to rest first, I may not be able to go over until later."
Yuanman nodded.
If she took out the investigation report now, it would be too shocking, so she had to go to the courtyard for a while.
Arriving at the courtyard mentioned by the system, Yuan Man had already gotten used to the system's arrogance.
The house should have just been vacated. It looks very clean and you can move in directly.
Hui Chengyuan was looking at Guo Sen's body with a frown on his face.
"The coroner found nothing?"
A deputy general stood beside him respectfully, "Yes, we have asked Madam Guo and the general's concubines, and the general has been fine these days."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at him, then lowered his eyes and continued to look at Guo Sen's body. From his appearance, if it weren't for his pale face, he looked like he was asleep.
What a coincidence! The Lou family had just collapsed and he was about to investigate the iron mine when he died.
"Your Highness, Madam Guo requests that the cause of the general's death be ascertained as soon as possible so that he can rest in peace."
Hui Chengyuan lifted the white cloth covering Guo Sen, took a look and asked, "Did they not open his stomach to check his internal organs to see if he was poisoned?"
The deputy general shook his head. "Madam Guo forbids the disembowelment. She said that if the general were to be disemboweled, he would no longer be a complete man and would not be able to be reborn."
"And the coroner has already pricked it with a silver needle, and the needle is not black."
Hui Chengyuan covered the white cloth back, turned around and walked out.
When he arrived in front of the government office, he looked at the people walking outside and said, "Please ask Madam Guo to come over."
The deputy general was stunned for a moment, then saluted and left.
Hui Chengyuan looked at his back and narrowed his eyes slightly.
At the same time that Mrs. Guo arrived at the yamen, Yuan Yi also came with the report given by Yuan Man.
"Your Highness, our master gave it to you." After saying this, he left the yamen stealthily.
Hui Chengyuan glanced at Mrs. Guo who was about to come in, and opened the envelope sent by Yuanyi.
When I saw the contents inside, my pupils couldn't help but shrink.
Where did Ari get it from?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Mrs. Guo Chu Xiang glanced at the people sitting in the hall before kneeling in greeting.
Her eyes were slightly red, and she looked like she was about to cry, and she looked extremely pitiful.
"No need to be so polite." Hui Chengyuan put the paper back into the envelope and looked at Chu Xiang.
"This prince needs to open General Guo's body for an autopsy, otherwise we will never know the cause of his death and who killed him."
Chu Xiang immediately cried when she heard this. She shook her head and said, "No, if that happens, how can my husband cross the Naihe Bridge and be reborn?"
Hui Chengyuan snorted coldly, "He can be reincarnated with broken arms and legs, so why can't we just open his body and do an autopsy?"
"Or do you know something that's why you don't allow the coroner to perform an autopsy?"
Chu Xiang knelt down immediately after hearing this, "Your Highness, please don't wrongly accuse me. How could I harm my own husband?"
Hui Chengyuan looked at her sharply, "Then tell me why we can't open the body for an autopsy. Besides, the coroner will only make a small incision to see if there is any poisoning in the internal organs."
"If there is nothing wrong in your heart, why would you refuse again and again?"
Chu Xiang seemed to be panicking, muttering: "This, where do we have such a legend? If the human body is incomplete, it cannot be reincarnated after death."
Hui Chengyuan glared at her, "We kept cutting off his arms and legs. It's common for soldiers to get injured on the battlefield, but when the coroner opened his body and sewed it back together, how could it not be complete?"
"If you continue to try to stop me, my lady, I will have to wonder if you played any role in this."
After saying this, he glanced at the county magistrate next to him.
The county magistrate nodded immediately and placed a consent agreement in front of Chu Xiang. "Mrs. Guo, if you have no other opinions, please sign it."
Chu Xiang glanced at Hui Chengyuan, lowered his eyes to look at the contract spread on the ground, gritted his teeth secretly, picked up the brush and signed his name.
"Very good, Madam Li can go back and wait for news. We will find out the cause of General Guo's death as soon as possible and find the murderer." After Hui Chengyuan finished speaking, he stood up and walked out.
