When Zhao Ting arrived at the Zheng Mansion in a carriage, the two stone carved lions in front of the gate of the Zheng Mansion were already surrounded by people who had good deeds, and they poked their heads out and peeked into the mansion.

At the gate of the mansion, more than a dozen catchers from the county government were holding long knives, and one by one they blocked the door in a line with serious faces, maintaining order at the scene.

"If you want me to say, it's the Zheng family that has done too much, and it's a curse. ”

"Who says it's not, the Zheng family has taken advantage of it over the years, swallowed up many small families in the city, and forced a large number of people to have no way to live......"

The people are always watching the excitement and not thinking it's a big deal.

Seeing that the Zheng Mansion was destroyed and there were no worries, these ordinary people who were oppressed on weekdays and dared not speak out were gloating and discussing one by one.

Zhao Ting stepped down from the carriage, stood aside and listened quietly to a few words, and then walked to the door of the Zheng Mansion.

"Big brother, can you let me in and have a look?"

The catcher who was guarding in front of the door knew Zhao Ting, but he was soft-spoken, and he couldn't be the master, so he wondered: "This ...... The chief catcher said......"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Si had already jumped out, and his index finger was about to poke the bridge of his nose.

"Blind your dog's eyes! You don't want to take a good look at who this is? This is the beloved son of Lord Fu Ling, Young Master Zhao Ting, what is Zhao Shao's identity? You dare to stop it?"

"Forehead ......"

Just as this catcher was hesitating, the chief catcher who had been to the Zhao Mansion last time came over and said, "Let him come in." ”

"Yes. ”

With the permission of the chief catcher, Zhao Ting was able to cross the defense line and enter the Zheng Mansion.

"Hello Uncle Wang. ”

The head catcher received Zhao Ting's greeting, touched his head, and asked, "Why did you kid come here?"

For this question, Zhao Ting had already prepared, and replied with a straight look: "My father, as a government commander, is in charge of the security of a county. And now that there is such a big thing in the county, Ting'er naturally wants to come and see if she can share my father's worries!"

"Okay, you're a filial child," the chief catcher sighed and led him towards the inner courtyard, "Let's go, uncle will take you to the inner courtyard to see your father." ”

Under the leadership of the chief catcher, bypassing a garden and water pavilion, the two soon came to the inner courtyard of the Zheng Mansion.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, Zhao Ting's nose involuntarily burrowed into a bloody breath, which could not be stopped, and he couldn't help frowning when he smelled it.

Outside the Crane Welcome Hall facing the gate of the inner courtyard, there were many adults wearing black official robes standing at this time, and Zhao Ting's father, Zhao Ziqi, was also among them.

He was talking to the "Lord Xu" who had been to Zhao's Mansion last time, as if he was discussing the case.

On the bluestone steps under the welcome hall, a row of corpses was neatly placed at this time.

Men and women, young and old!

And most of them were pale, their eyes were about to split, and their expressions were distorted and not like human shapes, as if they had seen something horrific before they died.

The hearts of all the corpses were without exception cut open a blood hole the size of a bowl, and the inside was empty, and the internal organs were long gone.

The marks around the wound were a bit messy, judging from Zhao Ting's experience, they seemed to have been gnawed by animal teeth.

Animal?

Animal teeth?

That's a little weird!

Zhao Ting thought secretly in his heart.

What animal not only likes to eat human entrails, but also has the ability to kill so many people in one night without alerting the city guards who patrol the night?

He was thinking about it, and Zhao Ziqi over there also noticed him, but he only frowned slightly and didn't speak.

"My lord, the results of the autopsy are out! However, it is somewhat strange that the results of the autopsy show that the people in the Zheng Mansion all died at about three o'clock last night, and the difference between the time of death before and after was only half an hour! In other words, so many people in the mansion were actually killed in just half an hour!"

"In half an hour?"

Zhao Ting heard that the county was reporting the results of the autopsy to the Lord Xu.

"Yes, sir, that's a bit counterintuitive. Supposedly, even if it takes an hour or two to kill all a hundred pigs, right?"

Hearing this, Lord Xu fell silent, and his face was extremely ugly.

After a while, Master Xu asked again, "Didn't Sect Leader Lin live in the Zheng Mansion, did you find him?"

"Lord Hui, I just found it in the east wing of the inner courtyard. Just ......"

"Just what?"

He hesitated for a moment before he said, "It's just that it's dead, and the body of Sect Leader Lin is a little ...... I couldn't bear to look at it directly, but according to the traces left at the scene, it seems that he had fought with the enemy before his death, and was finally killed, and his body was hung upside down on the beams of the house, not only without internal organs, but also with skin peeled off......"

"The whole corpse is blurred with flesh and blood, if it weren't for the token left by Sect Leader Lin, we wouldn't be able to identify who it is at all. ”

"Vomit ......" Thinking of that scene, Lord Xu's face suddenly turned pale, and he retched, "Don't talk about it......"

Hearing that "Lin Jiaotou" was also dead, Zhao Ziqi's face darkened.

He and Na Xu glanced at each other, and both of them looked like water, as if they were aware of some kind of threat hidden around them.

"Who is this "Lin Jiaotou"?" Zhao Ting quietly asked Mr. Wang beside him.

Mr. Wang glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Lin Jiaotou used to be the commander of the imperial court's border army - "Wuwei", not to mention martial arts in Linshan County, even in the entire Xiling County, he couldn't find an opponent. ”

Later, he committed something, was kicked out of the "Wuwei", and returned to his hometown Linshan County, because he owed the old man of Zheng Mansion a favor, so he has been living in Zheng Mansion to pay off his debts. ”

Saying that, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect such a character to die......

Hearing this, Zhao Ting also fell silent.

Stringing together a series of observations and evidence, he is now more than half sure that the Zheng Mansion's murder case is definitely not man-made!

It's just that, how do you mention this Lord Xu and Zhao Ziqi?

If you say it directly, I'm afraid Zhao Ziqi will give him two big mouths to make him sober and sober.

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of a better idea.

And Zhao Ziqi had already discussed fiercely with that Lord Xu at this time.

Listening to what the two said, it seems that they want to ask the county for help!

In addition, in the next period of time, they will strengthen the security patrol in the city, and vigorously investigate the suspicion of those outsiders in the city.

Seeing that the two were discussing business, Zhao Ting also gave up the idea of going up and interjecting.

After all, the two of them are big men in the city, and one of his children, who has not yet been crowned, suddenly ran forward to make suggestions.

People may not only ignore him, but also hate him in their hearts, thinking that he didn't force the count.

Fortunately, Zhao Ting is a very well-known person.

Seeing that he couldn't do anything, he simply signaled to Zhao Ziqi with his eyes and left the Zheng Mansion.
