Guard Liu's prince sniffed, "Last night, he said he had made an appointment with someone to drink at Shangtuqiao. He was a guard in the palace and made many friends, so we didn't find it strange. But we didn't want to be late. Later, passers-by came to report that my brother had drunk too much, his feet slipped and his head was knocked on the stone. When he was discovered, he had already died."

This winter is particularly cold, and it snows heavily every few days. Even if the sun is out, it is also unhappy and not much warmth.

There is indeed a lingering ice on some paths, especially around the water, which is even more so.

Jiang Yanzhi alone knew that there would be no three people left this winter when he was walking like this.

"Is it hit the back of the head?"

Jiang Yanzhi looked at Guard Liu in the coffin. Although there was a wound on his forehead, it was not too deep. It should not be a fatal injury, so the wound should be behind and was blocked by his hair.

Liu Dalang, the brother of Guard Liu, nodded, "The three kings are as expected. When I went to carry him back, he was lying on a sharp stone."

Jiang Yanzhi frowned and stretched out his hand to point to the coffin, "If it hurts the back of his head, how could there be any injury on his face?"

He said, stretching out his fat and fat hand, grabbed Guard Liu's hand in the coffin, and looked carefully, "It's strange, but there are no scratches on his hands."

Min Weixiu looked at Jiang Yanzhi seriously and smiled. He was brave and was not afraid of these corpses or anything else.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a woman around him muttering, "The three kings are really kind-hearted. Look, he was almost crying when he held Liu Erlang's hand. Liu Erlang is so blessed. If he didn't die, then he would follow the three kings who were not delicious and drink spicy food and would rise to the top! What a pity!"

Min Weixiu's mouth twitched and moved closer to Jiang Yanzhi.

Liu Dalang, who was standing beside him, had changed his color. He suddenly remembered Jiang Yanzhi's official position. This guy was first in Kaifeng Prefecture and then in Dali Temple, so he specifically decided to make a case.

"Three kings, but my brother died unjustly?"

Jiang Yanzhi touched his beard that did not exist, "At first glance, it seems a bit strange. Where is his shoes? Take me to take a look."

Liu Dalang nodded and led Jiang Yanzhi to the inner room. When Min Weixiu saw it, he hurriedly followed him. After a while, he picked up a pair of shoes and handed them to Jiang Yanzhi, "It's this pair. Because of the New Year, my brother and sister just sewed him new shoes."

Jiang Yanzhi took the shoes and frowned, "Look, there is no slip at the bottom of the shoes... When you changed her clothes, did you notice that there were any scars on his body, whether it was abrasion or bruises?"

Liu Dalang thought carefully, "There is bruised on his knees! There seems to be no obvious scars in the next place."

Jiang Yanzhi sighed, "Shief Liu was killed, not killed by a fall."

Liu Dalang was shocked, "What do you say!"

Jiang Yanzhi looked at the yard of his house and found that there was obviously an ice-cold place. After thinking about it, he carried a quilt from the inner room and spread it on the ground, "Lu Bing, come and demonstrate."

An Xixun looked at Lu Bing who was walking past her with gloating pleasure. Haha, this guard was so miserable!

Lu Bing stood there expressionlessly, first with his back facing the quilt, slipped under his feet, and then lay back. Because he wanted to demonstrate, he moved very slowly. He first hit the ground with his elbow and then his head hit the ground.

Jiang Yanzhi pointed to Lu Bing who was lying on the quilt, "I saw it. When a person fell down, his feet were out of control, so he wanted to protect himself with his hands the most. Whether he fell back or forward, he would subconsciously put his hands on the ground. Of course, you can say that he slipped too fast and before he could use his hands, he fell to his head directly. This is possible."

"However, in this case, there will be severe slip marks on the sole plate."

"If a person is not dead and walks, the slip marks will disappear soon. But Guard Liu fell to death. He knew that if you go lifting, his feet have not been touched by the ground, so there should be slip marks on it, but he has no. What does this mean? He probably didn't slide to it."

"And, you said he was lying on a big rock at that time, so what happened to the wound on his forehead and his knee?"

Jiang Yanzhi said, and shouted Lu Bing again.

Lu Bing stood up helplessly and slid forward again. This time he first hit the ground with his knees, and then quickly supported himself with his hands.

"Slide forward, one slides quickly and the whole person pounces down directly, then there should be various bruises on the body, not concentrated on the knees. The other, like Lu Bing just demonstrated, it doesn't slide so hard that the knees knees first, but in this case, there will be scars on his hands and he will not kowtow again."

"I have seen it in the mourning hall just now, and there are no scars on Guard Liu's hands. Isn't that very strange?"

Jiang Yanzhi said, looking at Liu Dalang who was dumbfounded, "So I infer that he didn't slip at all. On the way back after drinking, someone attacked him from behind. The back of his head was hit hard for the first time. He was very injured and fell to the ground without having time to turn around. He was hit again for the second time and fell down."

Of course, the second blow was just Jiang Yanzhi's speculation. The specific one had to look at the back of the corpse before confirming it.

But Guard Liu must have killed him, not accidentally.

"So his hands had no scars, and his forehead hit the ground, and there were scars on his face."

"Don't you find it strange? It's obviously knocked to the back of the head, why are there any injuries on the forehead and face?"

"Do you know who he went to drink with that day and night? What's his way recently?"

Liu Dalang's face changed and hesitated.

Min Weixiu walked around the room. This should be Liu Erlang's bedroom. She looked around and suddenly her eyes lit up, "An Xi An Xi, I seem to have seen this brocade box somewhere."

An Xi stretched her neck and looked at it, "Xiao Niang, this is a box in Xu Ji Yin Building. This kind of box is used to hold bracelets. A bracelet is about fifty taels. Looking at the pattern of the box, it is a new look of Xu Ji's New Year. Before, our mansion prepared a dowry for the third bedroom. Xu Ji took the picture album to visit the door. Xiao Niang must have seen it at that time."

Min Weixiu said "Oh". After she was reborn, she was not very obsessed with dressing up. An Xi remembered this kind of thing.

Jiang Yanzhi looked at Liu Dalang, and Liu Dalang said with some embarrassment, "My brother has indeed made a fortune recently. He is a guard in the palace, and there are some ways. Many people ask him to do things and usually take some money to go home. Not long ago, my mother fell seriously ill, and we two brothers were in a mess and finally saved her life."

He said, pointing to the house, "It's the New Year, but there is no rice in the house. Don't mention the beginning of spring, my son and my second brother's children will study."

When Liu Dalang said this, he smiled bitterly, "You may say that our family is not many, and it is close to the Imperial College, so you can rent it to students who study, but this house is not owned by us. This is the family property of the Liu family. This entire street belongs to Liu Guojiu's family, which means that we can only survive with the light of the word Liu."

"I have no ability, I can only make ends meet. I rely on my second brother on weekdays. Suddenly one day, about the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, my brother came back with money."
