Chapter 183: Homicide
The teacup in Song Ci's hand fell to the ground, smashed it, the tea flew sideways, and he was stunned in the curtain.
Hundreds of tragic deaths? This.... What's going on? For.... Why is this the case? This is obviously not an accident, but intentional homicide, after all, hundreds of people can be killed, presumably the murderer is not one!
"Xiao Xiangyue, are you sure you belong to the truth, you didn't lie to Song?"
"My lord, when has this been, how can we lie to you? These folks are still outside the barracks at the moment, if you don't believe it, you can ask. ”
Song Ci immediately walked out, and before he came to the door, he really saw someone kneeling outside and shouting grievances, which was very miserable.
Youyang: "Lord Song, Song Tixing, something big happened in our Lanzhu County, last night a village was almost slaughtered, and more than 100 people died in the old and young, this kind of situation is the first time in hundreds of years."
Song Ci already knew that this matter would not seem to be false, but it was undoubtedly true, and the anger in his heart was ignited again, and he couldn't wait to find out the murderer immediately.
The people were crying very sadly, and some of their relatives had died in accidents, if it weren't for some reason, they would have died together a long time ago.
Song Ci looked at them, his five organs suddenly ached, and he felt that he had been mixed together, his face was suffocated, and he was almost carried to the ground.
His right hand clutched his chest, as if he was forcibly enduring the blessing of pain
"Folks, can you tell Song what is going on? For.. What.... Why are these people so vicious? The viciousness of the attack is outrageous.
Everyone cried very sadly, Qin Yue and Xiaoxiang went to comfort them, but there was no effect, they still cried loudly.
This scene is unbearable to watch.
"Folks, since this is the case, then you take Song to have a look, see what is going on, Song swears that he must find a law for you."
They hummed, and on the way back, Song Ci also led some soldiers to follow behind, twenty miles away, because they were in a hurry, they had arrived in less than two hours.
As soon as he arrived in the village, hundreds of corpses had been placed in the center of the village, very neatly placed, and white cloth had been placed on his body, which was a rule left many years ago, and Song Ci didn't know what it was.
There are dozens of other locals next to it, they are villagers five miles away, and they happened to pass by the cluster today, so they spread ten or ten hundreds, and soon caused a sensation in Lanzhu County, and even the local magistrate rushed over.
He came to Song Ci's side and said: "Lord Song, such a scene, Mo is my Lanzhu County, even if it is Guangnan East Road, it is very rare, this matter is not simple, could it be the so-called anti-thief?"
Song Ci kept scanning the surrounding environment, and soon got a clue that the main purpose of the thieves was the imperial court, and they would not easily kill the people, but just plunder some livestock.
His mind soon got an answer, could it be.... Could it be this person? Song Ci didn't want to believe it, if Jia Rudao casually bullied and oppressed the people, it would be fine, but these hundreds....
"Lord Zhixian, you are old, Song took over this case, you can go back, just take care of the affairs in the county, and at the same time Song hopes that you can temporarily suppress this matter, so as not to cause panic?"
"Ahh But Lord Song, Xiaguan means one more person and one more helper, Xiaguan still thinks that he should come out to assist Lord Song, although Xiaguan does not know as much as adults, but it is still good to be an errand runner. ”
Song Ci received the kindness of the county, but it was better to meddle in this matter himself.
"Lord Zhixian, your kindness Song has received it, since this is the case, then Song will give you a task, which is to pay attention to whether there are people of unknown origin gathered around Lanzhu County, especially a large number of teams."
The magistrate took the order and walked out.
Song Ci squatted down and lifted the white cloth of the deceased, the wounds on their bodies were all the same, all in the chest, the wounds were very similar, all from a kind of weapon, some were fatal with a knife, and some were stabbed several times one after another.
Moreover, these people have no wounds elsewhere, so it can be seen that they did not have a battle with the murderer before they died, and the things inside and outside the house were completely arranged, and the time of death should have been last night, and the murderer attacked in the middle of the night.
From octogenarians to seven or eight-year-old dolls, they have not escaped this catastrophe, and the murderer is so vicious that it is outrageous.
Some people cried: "Lord Song, you and we... What are we going to do? Since you came to our Lanzhu County, the law and order is good, there are no thieves, and there are not many murders, and the people have lived very well in the past ten years, but just last night, who could have known that this kind of thing could happen?"
Song Ci's heart hurts, he doesn't know how to answer the other party, he is ashamed that something like this happened, then there seems to be only one murderer at this moment, and that is Jia Yidao.
He arrived early this morning, perhaps overnight, and seemed to have clashed with the locals, so tragedy struck.
Hundreds of people have died, dozens of families are gone, and this Lanzhu County, which originally had hope for the imperial court, is afraid that it will change again!
Song Ci came to the village with his hands behind his back and kept checking, Qin Yue said to these people: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, our Lord Song is like a god in judging the case, after all, it takes time to investigate the case, why don't you give him a few days to try?"
They nodded their heads, and that's all there was to it at the moment.
An old woman cried: "It's not just killing, these people don't even let go of vegetables, the dozens of acres of white radishes planted by the old body were stolen yesterday, and this is about to be sold, and we lost a few taels of silver at once, my lord, we are really wronged."
"White radish? Homicide?" Song Ci thought fiercely, Jia Rudao sent dozens of boxes of white radishes to himself, could it be that he brought them from the cluster? At that time, there was still soil on the radish that had not dried up, and if they had brought it from Lin'an, even if they had marched for half a month, it would not have been like this.
At the same time, if Emperor Lizong rewarded himself with radish, why didn't he clean it? Thousands of miles to send turnips, Song Ci didn't believe that he was angry, and this matter was almost certain.
Qin Yue and the others obviously also knew, they had followed Song Ci for twenty years, and now they also have a lot of experience in solving cases, and everyone already has the same murderer in their minds, Jia Rudao!
"Folks, since people are dead, they have no power to return, Song is not an immortal, you can't let them be resurrected, you still mourn, but is there in the village?"
"My lord, Li Zheng also died in this massacre, and all six members of his family died,..... It's sad, and I hope that the adults can execute the murderer immediately after they catch it, and give justice to our village. ”
No, Song Ci also meant this, and ordered Yue to take out a hundred taels of silver, and then handed it over.
"Folks, people must die like soil, and they can't be exposed outside for a long time, this one hundred taels of silver, Song will hand it over to you, after all, burial also requires a lot of consumption."
An old man took it, he was the last prestige elder within a radius of ten miles nearby, and Song Ci believed in her.
"At the same time, this eldest sister just now, most of your Luodi has been stolen, can you take Song over to have a look? Maybe there's a lot of evidence to be found here, isn't it?"
The woman nodded, led Song Ci to the front, and soon left the village and came to the land. Under her inform, Song Ci entered the land and found that there were large turnips that had been trampled on, there were many footprints, and the soles of the shoes were exactly the same, which were from the same style and the same person.
Many turnips were destroyed, the big ones were plucked, some were destroyed, and the losses were very bad.
All kinds of evidence on the surface of this matter is completely Jia Yidao's so-called, there will be no one else besides him, Song Ci's heart is dripping blood, as a relative of the emperor, he doesn't do things for the people, and he even does such an unreasonable thing, I am really sorry for the emperor, sorry for the queen mother.
Hundreds of casualties are enough to make Jia Yidao beheaded, he is like this in his twenties, I am afraid that it will become a big disaster in the future, this is already doomed.
How difficult it is for these people to farm the land, this kind of practice is inappropriate, it is very inappropriate, people let it be punished, if the truth is known, the people of the Great Song Dynasty should change again!
After taking a look at it, the truth of the matter had been determined, Song Ci also walked out and asked, "Eldest sister, I don't know when your radish was stolen, do you remember?"
She didn't think about it, "My lord, I came to take a look yesterday morning, and it wasn't stolen at that time, but when I came to see it this morning, I found that it had become like this, and at the same time, I also learned that there were villagers killed nearby.
Song Ci can't come up with the truth, at least not at the moment, otherwise it will cause a huge discussion, which is not good news for Song Lai.
"Eldest sister, I can't give you an answer to this matter, at least until there is no absolute truth, but your loss Song is willing to compensate you, month, give this eldest sister ten taels of silver, it is not easy for the old man to farm the land, and he will live on this silver for a year."
Qin Yue did so, gave the silver, sent the old woman away, and then said: "My lord, this matter can already be determined to be done by this Jia Yidao, we ..... Is there a way we can take him down?"
Everyone is looking forward to it, and this matter has aroused public indignation, and it cannot be convincing if it is not removed.
But Song Cicai knew very well how difficult it was to bring down this Jia Nidao, it was very difficult, even if he added Lu You, he couldn't do it.
He was very helpless, feeling that his heart disease was getting worse, and Song Ci knew that if he continued, he might not be able to hold on for a few years.
"Xiao Xiangyue, you send someone back to find Lu Sheng or Ren You, and transfer a thousand people to Song, today, we will walk along this road to Lin'an, I want to see what else this Jia Nidao has done."
