"Some time ago, someone came to me and said they wanted to buy a few ownerless female corpses. They said they would not take the bodies away, but just make an incision in the stomach and sew it up to practice the art of suturing."
Yu Fuling and Yu Jiao looked at each other after hearing Chou Ge'er's words. They both had the same idea. Someone actually used a corpse to practice Yu Jiao's surgery of cutting open a stomach.
Chou Ge'er was unaware of the two's reactions. After all, this matter was really shocking to ordinary people, so it was normal for them to have some abnormal expressions.
Ugly Brother went on to say, "The charity cemetery often has maids who were beaten to death by wealthy families, as well as women who were tortured to death in brothels. These are ownerless bodies with no relatives to bury them. They think mass graves are unlucky, so they send them to the charity cemetery, and I drag them to the mass graves and bury them wherever I want."
Yu Fuling was dumbfounded. "You agreed to let people practice suturing with these corpses? This is too disrespectful to the dead!"
Ugly Boy sneered, "When you die, there is nothing left. There are no ghosts or gods in this world. What's so disrespectful about this? It's just some high-sounding words from the living."
Yu Fuling wanted to refute, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know what to say. After all, the relatives of those ownerless bodies didn't want to give them a proper burial. If she, an irrelevant person, said anything here, it would seem like she was pretending to be a good person with a heart of saint.
"If someone offers me money, I'd be a fool not to accept it. Anyway, I often do repair work on the dead." Ugly Brother continued, "I'll take the money and send a message to that person when I find a female corpse without an owner. They will go to the charity cemetery in the middle of the night when no one is around to practice the art of opening and suturing the abdomen. But something went wrong not long ago."
At this point, Chou Ge'er stopped, licked his cracked lips, and gave me some water to drink.
Yu Jiao poured him a cup of tea. At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped and the guard's voice came in, "We are from the residence of Lord Liu."
When Chou Ge'er heard the noise, he fell silent and subconsciously shrank into the corner of the carriage.
Yu Jiao opened the car curtain a little and looked outside.
The carriage had arrived at the city gate. The tall blue brick city wall was about four meters high, with blue bricks stacked on top of each other. Next to the arched city gate stood the armored city guards, holding red tasseled spears, and were checking the people entering the city one by one.
It was now Yu Jiao's turn to ride. The city guards recognized Liu Ziqi. Gu Yun was the commander of the Five City Army. The city guards knew that Gu Yun had always been close to the eldest son of the Liu family. They had also seen Liu Ziqi before, so they saluted and said, "My subordinates are not very good at seeing. It turns out to be the eldest son of Liu."
He turned around and waved his hand to signal the guard to let it pass without checking the carriage.
Liu Ziqi nodded slightly, turned around to look at the carriage, gently squeezed the horse's belly, and slowly entered the city gate.
Yu Jiao was about to lower the curtain when she found a notice posted next to the city gate. Although the portrait drawn on the notice was very sloppily, his ugly appearance was exactly like the ugly boy in the car.
With a quick glance, I only saw a few words on the notice: The government offices in the capital are pursuing the fugitive!
Yu Jiao loosened her hand, the curtain fell, and the carriage left the city gate. The road inside the city was a wide stone road, and there were many shops of all kinds along the streets and alleys. The air was mixed with bursts of fragrance, the scent of cosmetics from girls' homes, the aroma of wine and food wafting from restaurants, and the aroma of tea from teahouses.
The hustle and bustle of the city is far beyond the reach of a state capital.
Yu Fuling was not distracted by the excitement outside. She anxiously asked Chou Ge'er, "What went wrong? Tell me quickly."
Just as Chou Ge'er was about to speak, Yu Jiao frowned and looked at him and said, "Are you the fugitive that the police want to catch?"
Ugly Brother was speechless and nodded, "Listen to my explanation..."
Yu Jiao interrupted him. Although she was very interested in this scalpel that looked like it showed signs of age, she was most annoyed by the trouble. If Chou Ge'er just had some personal grudges with someone and was in danger of being killed, it would be fine, but he was involved in a lawsuit and was wanted by the government. She could not take on such trouble from the government.
"Get out of the car." Before Chou Ge'er could finish his words, Yu Jiao said directly, "The government wants to arrest you, but I can't protect you. Since you are guilty, you'd better turn yourself in to the government."
Seeing Yu Jiao lifting the curtain to ask the driver to stop, Chou Ge'er got a little anxious. He pressed the curtain and said, "Listen to me, I didn't do anything serious. The government arrested me because the news of the corpse being disemboweled in the charity cemetery spread. If you let me get off the car now, you're sending me to my death."
Ugly boy told everything like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
"The incident I just mentioned is that a few days ago, someone sent a female corpse to the charity cemetery. The female corpse was four months pregnant. I heard from the servant who sent the corpse to the charity cemetery that the female corpse was a maid in the family. She had no relatives or friends in the capital, and secretly got pregnant with a servant. The mistress found out and was annoyed that she was causing chaos in the inner house and corrupting the morals. She was afraid that if the news was made public, it would affect the reputation of the young lady in the family, so she fed her arsenic and poisoned her to death."
