Chapter 179: The Land Security of the Honest Bajiao

Fu Guibao was talking and wanted to go to the courtyard wall. He seemed to be very interested, but Li Rizhi grabbed him and said, "Are you crazy? This is not Xingyang? This Taoist temple dares to do such a thing, and we must have a backer behind it. We have no foundation here, so we take action rashly. If we are discovered, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Chen Yingying also said, "Yes, have you forgotten that the body was beaten to death. Maybe it was just a peek. It was caught by the people in the Taoist temple and beaten to death. Let's go back first and wait for me to gather a group of subordinates to come here to peek..."

Cheng Zizai said, "Do you want to gather the servants in your family and come with brooms? They all seem to be good at cleaning, but they are not good at fighting!"

Li Rizhi snorted and said, "This is not urgent. Since they are fearless, let them wait!"

After saying that, the four of them immediately returned the same way and ran back to Dedao Court. Although Dedao Court was poor, it was a normal temple after all, and monks were all real monks. They were definitely not as true or false as Jidou Temple.

When they returned to the Dedao Temple, Dibao had already arrived. He was a middle-aged man with a simple appearance. The monk called him Ding Shuzhu. When Li Rizhi asked a moment, a monk told him that Dibao's real name was Ding Huotou, and he was from Dingjia Village not far away.

Ding Chutou squatted by the river. Looking at the corpse, he didn't dare to go down and catch the corpse. Instead, he looked anxious and sighed constantly. It could be seen that he had no good idea. He was honest and sighed when he encountered something.

Ding Chutou said sadly: "It's already this time. It's too late for me to go to the city now. I can't go to the county government to sue the official. I can only go tomorrow morning!"

Li Rizhi walked to Ding Chutou's eyes and said, "Your name is Ding Chutou, are you the land guard here?"

Ding Chutou raised his head, looked at Li Rizhi, nodded, but did not answer. He didn't know what he muttered, so he lowered his head and went to see the corpses in the river, and still sighed constantly.

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "Isn't this local insurance problem a little bit?

At this time, Quan Shufang came over and knew to Li Ri: "Brother Li, I have investigated it just now. This body must have drifted here from the upstream..."

Fu Guibao couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Is this still necessary to investigate? This corpse must have not drifted from downstream!"

Quan Shufang was interrupted by him, but he was not angry. He paused for a moment and nodded, "You are right in this analysis. The result of our analysis is the same, and all ruled out the possibility of drifting downstream. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it should have been soaked in the water for more than five days, and maybe six or seven days may be possible. I just asked, the river flows from the east. Based on more than five days, it should have left the territory of Chang'an..."

Quan Shufang proudly showed off what he had just analyzed to Li Rizhi. Li Rizhi remained silent. He couldn't refute Quan Shufang. He didn't give face to Quanshufang in front of so many people!

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizai had strange expressions on their faces. Chen Yingying opened her mouth but did not speak. None of them made a sound, but just listened silently to the analysis of the whole square.

There were a few scholars next to them. They were all brave and dared to come to see the corpse. However, they were obviously the kind of people who read a lot but had no actual experience at all, so they even felt that the analysis of the whole prescription was correct and nodded quite well.

After analyzing the whole squad, he said, "So, the most urgent and most critical part of the moment is to do a test, take a corpse, well, the cattle and sheep, let it go downstream and see if it will drift here on the fifth day. So can the location of the crime be determined? Although this measurement is a waste of time, it can accurately know the location of the crime, and the case will be almost solved."

After listening to his analysis, Li Rizhi was sure to correct Quan Shufang's statement for a while, but he felt that there was no need. Anyway, when the people in the yamen came, they would not solve the case according to Quan Shufang's statement. Isn't it a good thing for him to think that his method is good and psychologically satisfied?

After looking at Ding Chutou, who was still squatting and worried, Li Rizhi asked: "Student Quan, did you also ask this Ding Dibao and scare him?"

Quan Shufang was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "I didn't scare him. I just analyzed the seriousness of this case for him. Anyway, it would be a waste of time if the case was solved. During this period, as a land guard, he probably wouldn't be able to work in the ground. If it becomes a headless case, he would be even more unlucky. Maybe he would have to pay the funeral expenses of this body. Who told him to be the land guard!"

Li Rizhi shook his head and said, "Isn't this a scare? The funeral cost of this corpse will naturally be borne by the government, and no one will be borne by the local security guard."

After hearing this, Ding Chutou raised his head again, looked at Li Rizhi, and asked stammered: "I really won't let me bury it, it has nothing to do with me!"

Quan Shufang said, "You are the land guard. This corpse was found in the land where you are responsible. Why has nothing to do with you? It has a lot to do with you!"

After hearing this, Ding Chutou suddenly became smarter and said, "Then, what if it weren't discovered in the realm where I was responsible?"

It seems that he wanted to take the corpse off the branches and let the corpse float again, and maybe he could drift to another land of the land guarantee tomorrow.

Li Ri knew: "You should take good care of this corpse, and then go to report to the official tomorrow dawn. Don't think too much. If you lose the corpse, the government may think that you killed the person. The headless case has become a headless case, and some heads are your heads. That's really unlucky!"

After dispelling Ding Chutou's wits, Li Rizhi took Fu Guibao and the others back to the temple. The monks in the temple prepared food for them. However, when Li Rizhi thought that these foods were made of river water, he was really not interested in eating them. Anyway, he would not faint from hunger if he didn't eat them for a meal. None of the four of them ate them and didn't even drink water. They went into the house to rest.

Ding Hut was really too honest and afraid that the government would pursue it. He actually squatted by the river and guarded the body all night. Li Rizhi got up early and just now the fish belly turned pale in the east, so he arrived by the river. Seeing that Ding Hutou was the only one by the river, he immediately walked over.

Li Rizhi wanted to ask Ding Chutou about Jidouguan. Last night, Quan Shufang was present and he was not easy to ask. At this time, there was no one else, which was the best for him to ask.

Ding Chutou leaned against a tree in a daze. Li Rizhi arrived in front of him and patted him gently. Ding Chutou was shocked and woke up. He saw that it was Li Rizhi. Although he did not recognize this scholar, he was very annoyed by the questioning of all the time yesterday, so when he saw Li Rizhi, his attitude was not so friendly.

Li Rizhi didn't care. He was a friendly attitude, which was a way of asking questions. If he was not friendly, it was not another way of asking questions. It was the same for him.

Li Ri knew: "Your name is Ding Chutou, are you? Are you renting the fields of Jidouguan?"

Ding Chutou nodded and looked at Li Rizhi with a slanted eyes and said, "Yes, so what! Are you going to ask me which state it is five days away from here? I really don't know. I haven't left home for more than five days. Wherever I go, I know which state it is. Don't bother me!"

Li Rizhi shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not here to ask you this, I'm here to ask you, since you rented the land of Jidou Temple, why do you bully those females? They are all female Taoist priests who have become monks. Even if you don't take care of them, you can't bully them. Your character is too bad!"

Ding Chutou was stunned at first, then furious, jumped up, and said angrily: "You are lying, I have never bullied them. Apart from signing a contract to pay rent, I avoid Jidouguan. I didn't even see them, so how could I bully them? You are slandering me, I will beat you up!"

Ding Chutou raised his fist and wanted to hit Li Rizhi, but Li Rizhi was afraid of him, so he jumped up. He was much taller and much stronger than Ding Chutou, especially when he glared at him, he was so scared that he retreated repeatedly!

It felt like a person could not beat Li Rizhi, so Ding Chutou said angrily: "Wait, I'll ask someone to go, you wait, don't run away!"

As he said that, he was going to find someone. He was a local local guard. If he wanted to find someone to beat Li Rizhi, it would be quite easy. He couldn't call a hundred or eighty people, but calling a dozen or twenty people should have no problem at all.

Li Rizhi laughed and said, "Okay, go, I'll get this corpse away when you leave, and then say that you destroyed the corpse. I recognize the magistrate Peng and see how he dealt with you then!"

Ding Chutou was stunned. He wanted to beat Li Rizhi again, but he was afraid that he would call people now. Li Rizhi would tamper with his body, but he would not leave, nor would he not leave. In anger, he squatted down again, but turned his head and refused to look at Li Rizhi, that's all.

No wonder the monks in the Taoist temple said that Ding Chutou was honest and honest. He was not just honest but a little cowardly, and showed the honest and deceptive characteristics of the lowest-level people in the Tang Dynasty to the fullest.

However, if such honest people are bullied violently and start to break out, it will be very scary!

Li Rizhi coughed and said, "Have you ever bullied the female Taoist priests in Jidou Temple? Then I heard them say that your local Bao is not honest and always glances at them?"

Ding Chutou said anxiously: "No, there is no, I never dare to look at them too much. Besides, they don't care about men looking at them. Others don't know, but I know!"

Li Rizhi smiled slightly and thought to himself: "I knew you would definitely know something."

Pretending to be disbelief, Li Rizhi said again: "You said that the gods who pray for their children in their temple are not effective. Did you say this?"

Li Rizhi believed that if someone as honest as Ding Chutou knew about the news, he might not care about it, but if he talked to acquaintances in private, there would be certainly a case. At least he would definitely tell his family members, and he could not guarantee whether the family members' mouths would be kept secret.

Sure enough, a look of panic appeared on Ding Chutou's face, and he stuttered: "I, I, I, I have never said it, let alone say it, that's nothing to do with me!"

Li Ri knew: "There are often beautiful women and young men coming and going in and out in Jidou Temple. You dare to say these words are not what you said. If it is not what you said, then why don't you dare to get close to Jidou Temple? You are afraid that those young men will beat you!"

Ding Chutou was even more panicked. He did not deny that he was afraid of being beaten, but of course he did not admit it. However, judging from the fact that he wanted to ask someone to beat Li Rizhi just now, he must have had conflicts with Guanli because of the young man's affairs. After all, he is a local guard, and even if he doesn't want to care about some things, he still has to ask about them.

But he couldn't afford to offend the young men in Jidou Temple, and he must have suffered a little loss, so he didn't dare to go there anymore, and he even said some gossip in private. Otherwise, when Li Rizhi asked about these words, he just needed to despise the people in the temple, or simply not answering, and there was no need to panic.

When Li Rizhi saw his expression, he knew that he had expected it right. He was thinking of forcing him to force him to tell Ding Chutou something more, but at this time he was completely in the process.

This person is really not the time!
