"I wonder if Envoy Xiao has any important business here?" The county magistrate was very polite to Xiao Jingyun.
Xiao Jingyun glanced at Xiao Cunyu, who immediately understood and said, like a dog, "Brother, I came with you to ask if the identity of the body sent last time has been determined?"
"Corpse?" The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned to look at his subordinate. Seeing him covering his nose, he immediately remembered: "Young Master, are you talking about the rotten corpse? It's not that I'm incompetent, it's just that the face is so rotten that I can't see it clearly, and there are no other characteristics on the body. This person was dug out from a mass grave, so it will be difficult to identify him..."
When Xiao Cunyu heard this, he felt that it was an excuse.
He quickly unfolded his painting: "How can I not see clearly? When it was delivered that day, the face was still fine, it looked like this..."
“…” The old face of the county magistrate twitched twice, as if he smelled the stench coming towards him again.
He was too nosy that day and actually wanted to take a look at the corpse himself. As a result, when he took a look, the hideous flesh paste almost engraved his eyes. He wished he could dig out his eyeballs on the spot to find peace!
After such a long time, I finally forgot about this matter, but I didn't expect to be reminded of it again by the young master of the Xiao family.
"Envoy Xiao, this man is really hard to find." The county magistrate immediately said.
"Is it hard to find or can't be found?" Xiao Cunyu frowned slightly.
The county magistrate was silent for a moment.
Isn't it unnecessary to waste the constable's time when you know you can't find it?
"Please don't make things difficult for me. If the corpse brought by the young master looked a bit like a human, I would not have left it alone. The corpse is badly rotten and difficult to clean and store, so I arranged for burial early..." The county magistrate said politely.
"Where is he buried?" Xiao Jingyun asked.
The constable behind immediately stepped forward and reported the location carefully.
There was no point in staying in the yamen any longer. Seeing Xiao Cunyu remained silent, Xiao Jingyun sighed helplessly and led her away.
"You see, you can't help with this matter. The county magistrate's actions were somewhat inappropriate, but he also has a point. You only say that he was wronged, and you know nothing else. It's too difficult to investigate..."
"Brother, please help me find a few painters to draw more notices based on this one, and I will post them everywhere." Xiao Cunyu still didn't give up.
"You have such a stubborn temper. I don't know who you inherited it from." Xiao Jingyun couldn't help but knock her on the head.
Xiao Cunyu immediately covered his head: "I'm not growing any taller!"
"It's not very high," Xiao Jingyun said with disdain. "You can post the notice, but you can't keep focusing on this kind of thing. Within three days, if no one recognizes the person in the painting, you must completely give up and never mention it again!"
Xiao Cunyu was certainly not happy about this, but he also felt that this seemed to be an opportunity, so he said, "If you find one, big brother, can you find me the bravest servant, the kind who is brave enough to work without fear of corpses?"
Xiao Jingyun had a bad feeling.
In recent days, several servants and maids have been assigned to her courtyard, but she either thinks the servants are too weak or the maids are too timid, and finally drove them all out.
Seeing how he usually dressed up, even his sword was decorated with fancy things, he thought that his brother might like beautiful things, so he bought three batches of beautiful maids for her.
The result was the same, they were all scared away.
"Why are you so brave? Do you want to go to the mass grave to dig up corpses again..." Xiao Jingyun just said it casually, and he got stuck in the middle of his words, "Do you really want to..."
