Chapter 48 Chapter 22

Di Gong picked the charcoal in the brazier with a steel fire stick, let the flames rise, then pulled a chair and sat down, stretched out his hand to the brazier and rubbed it constantly. Suddenly the door of the yamen was pushed open, and Mrs. Di looked up and saw Mrs. Guo coming in.He said politely: "Mrs. Guo, please forgive me. You probably have heard that the official has already submitted his resignation and the black hat has been taken off. He may be put on a shackle and taken to the Criminal Department of the capital for trial someday. What do you need to tell me now? You can go straight to Tao Gan, or the house secretary."

Mrs. Guo lowered her eyebrows and lowered her hands, silent.After a while, she parted her cherry lips and said: "We heard that Master Di is going to resign, and we are very sad. My husband asked me to come and express my gratitude to Master Di." "Thank you? I should express my gratitude to Mr. Guo. I have not been in Beizhou for a long time, but I am grateful to your husband for a lot of help." "So, what about me? Master doesn't need my help?" "Your help?—I am deeply grateful that you have kept the women's prison in order, but now I am a sinner myself—"

Duke Di suddenly had a strange feeling flashing through his heart, and he hurriedly asked: "How can you help me as a woman?" Mrs. Guo pursed her lips and said, "Most of you men are careless, how do you know women's schemes? No wonder Mr. Di can't see through Chen Baozhen's tricks!" Di Gong asked in surprise: "Mrs. Guo, did you see through Lu Chen's mechanism?" "No." Mrs. Guo said. "But I think there is a thread that I might as well pick up with the master." Di Gong was overjoyed, his pale cheeks flushed instantly.Shouted: "Say it! Say it!"

Mrs. Guo wrapped her big scarlet cloak around her body, and said slowly: "In addition to cooking, drinking and serving our husbands at home, we women also have to mend, starch and wash spiked leather boots. Master knows how distressing it is to nail boots." Is it? Sometimes I hold a nail in my hand and wish I could..." "I can't wait to nail my enemy's head!" Di Gong exclaimed. "That's exactly what I mean, sir. The nails are long and thin, and go through a man's nostrils into a brain without any effort and without leaving a trace. No one will ever know why. "

Dee's eyes sparkled with hope. "Mrs. Guo! You saved me. Yes, I am not a god. An Neng can see through this mechanism! No wonder Mrs. Lu Chen is afraid of opening the coffin for autopsy. This also explains why your husband's autopsy found nothing. He saw the corpse with eyes protruding, but only looking for scars from the back of the head. This woman's heart is not only very vicious, but also very delicate." Mrs. Guo's face was pale, she smiled faintly at Di Gong, and said, "Master is so happy, I can say goodbye." Di Gong said excitedly: "According to Mrs. Guo's advice. If you turn the clouds to see the sun, wait for Lu Chen's case to be confirmed, and then come to thank you for your kindness at another time."

After Mrs. Guo left.Di Gong immediately summoned Tao Gan and Wurong_Qiaotai into the yamen.The three looked depressed and listless.But he saw that Di Gong was beaming with joy, and his face was shining red. Di Gongdao: "I have seen through Lu Chen's criminal organization. Immediately carry out the second coffin autopsy! You go to the north gate and carry Lu Ming's body to the yamen. The people don't know what's going on at the moment, so it's inconvenient to do it in the cemetery Autopsy. After the corpse is moved into the Yamen, a notice can be issued to announce the second autopsy to the whole city, and the people are welcome to come to the lobby to watch. I guess the people must be dissatisfied at first, but curiosity will restrain their ignorant recklessness. Waiting for the autopsy Well, if the inside information is found out, we will stand firm, not only will the common people not oppose us, but even the cunning Lu Chen family will have to plead guilty and submit to the law."

The three relatives withdrew from the yamen house and immediately prepared to transport the corpse. Di Gong asked himself: "If the second autopsy fails again, will I, Di Renjie, still have a place to die?"
