Longde County.

There were beds in the morgue that were only one person wide.

There were three naked female corpses lying on the bed.

The coroner pried open the woman's eyes and saw that the pupils were dilated, the white eyeballs were turbid, and were covered with yellow spots.

"Time of death: within ten hours." The coroner said, and wrote it down with a brush on a book beside him.

He pried open the woman's mouth again.

"My lord, there is something."

"Take it out and let me see it."

The smell in the morgue was not pleasant, and Zheng Yanjin covered his nose with a handkerchief.

The coroner used two fingers to pick out the thing, and a round bead appeared in the palm of his hand.

He wiped the beads clean with a cloth and then handed them to Zheng Yanjin.

The blood-red beads are made of bloodstone, and if you look closely, you can see some runes engraved on them.

But Zheng Yanjin didn't know him.

He pinched the blood bead and said, "See if there is any in the other two bodies."

"Yes." The coroner agreed, and sure enough, he took out the same blood beads from the mouths of the other two corpses.

Zheng Yanjin wrapped the blood beads in a handkerchief.

"Go on, check the cause of death."

The coroner continued, frowning when he saw the abdomen.

"Sir, all three victims were pregnant. The murderer cut out the babies from their bellies. He even took out all the internal organs from their bellies."

"Cause of death: Caesarean section."

Zheng Yanjin had a puzzled look on his face.

If it was for the baby in the dead woman's belly, she would never take out all the internal organs. What was the purpose of the murderer doing this? "Can the identity of the dead be determined within a day?" Zheng Yanjin asked.

The coroner was in a dilemma.

Although household registration describes a person's appearance and age.

Kelongde County is neither big nor small.

There are tens of thousands of households! One day is too short to check.

"I'll try my best." The coroner nodded.

Zheng Yanjin took the blood bead and prepared to go to the temple to investigate the runes and origins of the blood bead.

There are no temples in Longde County, while the nearest one is in Shunyi County.

Guiyin Temple.

"Master Jingsi, take a look at this." Zheng Yanjin took out the handkerchief and unfolded it.

Master Jingsi was an accomplished monk from Guiyin Temple, and was very famous in Shunyi County and even in the capital.

He was wearing a monk's robe and had his hands folded together.

"Amitabha."

Only then did he pick up the blood bead and take a closer look.

He didn't say much, but stood up.

"I will go with Master Zheng."

…

Qingshan Village.

Ever since a body was found in the East River last time, the Sioux chief has banned villagers from approaching the East River.

Maodan's father Sulicheng also came back from the county.

Perhaps it was because of the Sioux chief’s preaching that he came back and never left.

Wang Erniu's shop was becoming more and more popular. Sometimes he could not handle it alone, so he specially recruited Su Licheng to help.

The happiest person was Maodan, because his father was with him.

"Su Ke, you answer this question." Liu Quanzheng knocked on the wooden table with a ruler.

Maodan, who was still grinning foolishly, scratched his head and stood up.

He looked at Su Yun for help.

[Don't look at me, it's useless.] Su Yun's eyes indicated that she could do nothing to help.

After hearing Su Yun's thoughts, Liu Quanzheng said with a stern face.

"Zuko, go home and read this article twenty times."

"Yes." Zuko lowered his head.

"School is over." As soon as Liu Quanzheng said that, the kids ran away.

Just as Su Yun was about to pull Wang Lin away, Liu Quanzheng stopped her.

"Su Yun, go home and practice calligraphy. Look at your handwriting and see if it looks like dog's crawling. Don't tell anyone that I taught you when you leave the house."

Wang Lin was afraid of being dragged to practice together, so he silently pulled Su Yun's hand down.

"Yun'er, go home first. I'll come to play with you when I have time." After she said that, she ran out of the house.

[Sister, are you leaving just like that?] Su Yun's hands were still in the same position as before.

Liu Quanzheng grabbed Su Yun's collar and dragged her home.

Su family.

As soon as the two came back, Li came over with the letter.

Su Yuansheng asked someone to deliver two letters, one to the entire Su family and one to Su Yun alone.

[Huh? Just for me? ]

Su Yun took it, opened it, and read it carefully.

Su Yuansheng returned to Wansong Academy to study again. Feng Ting'er and Chen Sisi were not affected by the past, but studied very seriously.

The new principal of Wansong Academy values ​​the two of them very much.

And there is a vague suggestion of recommending women to take the imperial examinations.

In addition to these, there is another interesting thing.

It is said that Bai Qingqing from the Bai family was betrothed to a poor scholar, and the wedding date was set for the end of May.

But Bai Qingqing blocked the door of Chen's house every day and said bluntly that she wanted to marry Chen Xiu.

At this point, the Chen family and the Bai family had a falling out and were no longer on good terms.

Finally, it tells the story of Su Xiyue disappearing. Wang Baoyi went to report to the police, but Su Xiyue was not with the eldest prince.

The eldest prince said that the person was kidnapped by a group of men in black.

After reading it, Su Yun added Su Xiyue to the locator.

But it showed that the other party was still in the capital, and his location was actually in Manchunyuan.

[This Manchunyuan is the property of the Fifth Prince. 666, has the Fifth Prince succeeded in taking over the throne and snatched the male lead's spot? ]

"Practice calligraphy." Liu Quanzheng reminded.

Only then did Su Yun put away the letter.

"Grandma, I'll practice my calligraphy first and write back to Brother Yuansheng later. Tomorrow morning we'll go to the county together to find someone to send the letter to."

"Okay." Li smiled.

The next morning.

Su Yun has always gotten up early to practice martial arts.

Li also got up early. After eating a little, they got on Su Shulin's ox cart and headed for the county town.

After arriving at the county, Li held two letters.

One letter was replied by Su Huaiyi, and the other was replied by Su Yun herself.

Li found a postman and delivered the letter.

He also spent an extra tael of silver to ask the postman to deliver the egg-wrapped pork.

[Although my grandma didn't say it, she still missed Brother Yuansheng. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten up early to make omelette and spent an extra ounce of silver.]

Su Yun nodded behind him.

She knew how stingy the old lady was. She was a typical example of someone with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Li knocked on Su Yun's head.

"Grandma, what are you doing?" Su Yun covered her head.

Li walked ahead without explaining anything.

Su Yun was a little confused.

[Is my breast in menopause? 】

Li paused. Although she didn't understand what was said, she felt that it was not a good thing.

But since this was just a thought in her mind, she took a deep breath and said nothing.

“Hehe~”

Zheng Yanjin laughed out loud. He and Master Jingsi had just returned from Shunyi County.

Su Yun turned around.

I saw Zheng Yanjin riding a horse with a dizzy old monk on the back of the horse.

[Eh~ This is the first time I see someone fainting on a horse. I hope he won’t vomit! ]

Zheng Yanjin thought to himself that it was not good, but it was too late. Master Jingsi vomited all over him.

Zheng Yanjin's face darkened:...

He knew that meeting Su Yun would be bad news.

Last time, he said that he had a green grassland on his head and raised children and wives for others, which made Chen Xiu laugh at him.

This time, he finally got the chance to see Su Yun make fun of him, but ended up making a fool of himself instead.

[This old monk's vomiting was quite accurate. There was none on himself, but it was all on Mr. Zheng.]

Su Yun took two steps back, feeling a little disgusted.

Zheng Yanjin: That’s not necessary!

"Master Zheng, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

"Nothing."

Zheng Yanjin was wearing casual clothes today. He tore off the dirty hem and rolled it up.

The two men got off their horses.

Zheng Yanjin held the dirty hem in one hand and led the horse with the other.

Jingsi clasped his hands together and walked towards Su Yun.

"Amitabha, I see that you have a full forehead and a round forehead, which is a sign of a noble person. But you are entangled by black energy, and I am afraid that you will be attacked by it."
