The next day, Chang'an County Ya.

At this time, the county magistrate had not slept all night, and he would be hell if he could sleep in a big case with hundreds of lives.

The incident of the mine being poisoned has been rumored in Chang'an.

The pressure on the prefectural ordinance has also begun to increase.

Now there are nearly 1,000 family members of the deceased outside the county yamen.

I thought that the men in the family were recruited by the mine to work under the prince, and what was waiting for them was great benefits, wealth and prosperity.

Who would have thought that such bad news would come out a few days after the good days.

Fortunately, Li Shimin had already sent someone to spread the news before:

At this time, someone deliberately poisoned him, and the prince just knocked him down because he was unlucky.

Otherwise, Li Chengyang's reputation will really stink.

This group of family members is also quite reasonable, and the official government of Datang has always been so reasonable.

If you have a grievance, you will generally be redressed, even if the people you want to sue are those sons and sons.

Therefore, the family members just waited quietly in front of the county yamen, hoping that the government would find out the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible.

The county order was already in a hurry to hit the back of the head, and everyone was sent out, but there was no gain.

The modus operandi is extremely rich, and it is definitely a veteran.

None of the people related to this case can be found now, and it is estimated that there is more luck than luck.

The county order secretly looked at the crowd outside through the crack in the door, and did not dare to go out.

It's not that I'm afraid of being beaten and scolded, that's better.

What he fears most is being asked how the case is going.

What else, there is not a single hair, and he, the county magistrate, rarely encounters such a case.

Looking at the crowd outside in disappointment, the county order felt uncomfortable.

"Found it, found it", a hurried voice sounded from behind the prefectural order.

The county commander jumped three feet high, and he turned around in the air and saw the person clearly.

"How did you get in, did you find any clues?" ，

The county magistrate didn't care about teaching the official in front of him, and the official's words had completely attracted his attention.

"The small one came in from the back door, the front door couldn't pass, and in the morning people came to report the case, and a family outside Chang'an City was on fire.

Four people were burned, and the small one went to see it, and the deceased may have something to do with the case."

"Let's go, what are you waiting for, let's go out through the back door", the county order immediately waved his hand, and the official uniform was too late to change and hurriedly pulled the official out of the door.

A few miles away from Chang'an, a thatched house.

It had been burned to ashes now, and there were few inhabitants here, so by the time someone else found it, the people had already been burned to char.

The prefectural commander walked into the house that was still smoking, covered his nose and walked around inside.

Roughly what can be seen are three objects that appear to be pedestrians, and the rest are not found.

The fire must have burned out not long ago, and there is still a lot of smoke and sporadic sparks.

The county magistrate walked out and walked around the house, but still found nothing.

Looking at the carbides in the house, he could roughly guess that this was the kidnapped greengrocer's family.

Two of the three humanoids are sitting on the ground, their hands unnaturally placed behind their backs, apparently tied.

There was also a person lying on the ground, presumably the murderer, or someone related to the murderer.

Now that it has been determined that there is a cat in this, it is by no means an ordinary fire case, and the county order immediately ordered:

"Go to a few people, one to inform Dali Temple, and let them send a servant to come to the autopsy,

Another one went to the palace to inform His Majesty and tell His Majesty that we had found out.

Finally, I'm going to tell the prince and see what he thinks."

The people around him took the order and left, and the county magistrate was not idle, and continued to wander around.

Li Chengyang was helping Xiao'er to walk, and after a night's rest, Xiao'er finally refreshed her spirit again.

"Young master, don't be like this, it's not good for others to see it", Xiao'er leaned on Li Chengyang's face full of discomfort.

Li Chengyang smiled: "What's the matter, I'm holding my mother-in-law's waist, what else can they say."

Xiao'er's face was flushed, and she said coquettishly: "Who is your mother-in-law, ashamed to death."

couldn't bear Xiao'er's various requests, Li Chengyang could only let go of his hand and let Xiao'er walk a few steps slowly.

Looking at the intact smile, my heart is satisfied.

As long as the person is fine, if the smile is gone, Li Chengyang is not sure what he will do.

If he really doesn't care about it, at least don't think about half of the Tang Dynasty, and don't even think about the family Mao.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and Datang was finally safe again.

However, the mastermind behind the scenes, Li Chengyang clenched his fists tightly.

There is no way, and he doesn't want to get away with it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, someone outside is looking for you, saying that there is a breakthrough in the case, and asking if you want to take a look."

The guards came to report, and Li Chengyang immediately came to the spirit.

Xiao'er pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction and walked back to the room slowly.

Before entering the door, he smiled at Li Chengyang: "Your Highness, go and come back quickly."

Li Chengyang also replied with a bright smile, and just walked out of the East Palace with a big smile.

Li Shi also rushed to the news after receiving the news, and brought Chitu with him.

Li Chengyang got on the red rabbit and ordered the officials waiting outside: "Let's go, lead the way."

Soon, the three of them arrived at the scene of the crime outside Chang'an City.

The prefectural order was still circling around the houses, shaking his head and sighing for a while, and then continuing to the next circle.

Because Li Chengyang came on horseback, he was the only one here at this time, except for the county order.

"Your Highness, you are here, just right, you are here with long eyes", the county commander saw Li Chengyang coming, and hurriedly greeted him.

Li Chengyang turned over and dismounted: "What's wrong, have you found any clues?"

The county commander shook his head in embarrassment: "The lower officials are incompetent, and they have walked around dozens of times, and they can't find any traces."

Li Chengyang nodded at Li Shi and motioned for her to take a look.

Li Shi also took a closer look.

After a while, Li Shi walked back and took Li Chengyang to a small path at the door:

"Young master, look, this is a little different."

The county commander and Li Chengyang squatted down at the same time, carefully staring at the traces on the ground.

The county commander frowned: "Isn't this just an ordinary footprint, it's no different, I've seen it several times."

Li Chengyang didn't see why, and looked up at Li Shi, hoping to get an answer.

Li Shi pointed to a clearly defined footprint on the ground and said:

"The family has been here for many years, and the dirt road has been trampled on a solid road.

Ordinary people walking on it will not leave deep traces, and if you don't believe that the young master and the county order can look at their footprints."

The two looked down, and sure enough, the footprints of the county order were very shallow, and Li Chengyang's was almost invisible, there was no heavy rain this year, and the land was very hard.

Leaving such clear footprints in such a hard place, or, the person who walks is fat and heavy,

Either that, the person walking is carrying something particularly heavy, or in other words, that person is carrying a person on his back.

The county magistrate looked at Li Shi with admiration, worthy of being the person next to the prince, just after he came, he found out the clues that he couldn't find alive or dead.

"What does this mean?" , Li Chengyang asked.

Li Shi thought for a while and shook his head: "It doesn't prove anything, it just confirms the speculation of the previous county order,

The people inside were indeed kidnapped, and the rest were of no use."

Li Chengyang nodded, this is enough, as long as it is determined that the people in it are related to this case, it is a good start.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look," Li Chengyang ordered.

Entering the door, Li Shi covered his nose and frowned and said, "There are four people in total, three big and one small,

It should be a family tied up over there, and it looks like they were burned alive.

The person lying in the hall must have committed suicide first, and then burned to the surface."

"Four people", the county magistrate muttered to himself: "Isn't there only three traces".

Li Shi pointed to the person who was tied up over there: "Do you find something strange between those two people?"

The county magistrate took a closer look and found that there was a difference.

Between the two of them, it seems that something is connected.

But obviously the distance between the two people is not small, and there will definitely be no physical contact.

"And what's in between?" , the county magistrate trembled and pointed to the thing in the middle.

"It's a child, a child, the body is not fully developed, and when it was burned by the fire, it became like this", Li Shi said with a frown.

The county commander's face turned red: "This brute is really ruthless, and the official will be on the bar with him today."

Li Chengyang looked sideways at the county order, how can this person still have such a big arrogance?

I don't know how he will react when he knows that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Wang family.

Li Chengyang is now 90% sure of who did it.

He was familiar with the way the dead man behaved.

It is the style of the rest of the secret guards except Li Yi in the dark guards.

There is no bottom, no rules, no ruthlessness, they live to die.

The person in front of him is completely in line with the image of the dead man.

And it's not an ordinary dead soldier, it's just the kind of tool man who has been specially cultivated.

If they are dead people who are halfway home, they always have some bottom lines of their own in their hearts.

For example, if Li Shi asks her to do this kind of thing, she can't do it.

Despite her highest talent, she retains her humanity because she was picked up by the Dark Guard and has been in the society for ten years.

Therefore, this dead soldier lying on the ground must be like a dark guard, cultivated since childhood.

They don't come into contact with people, they don't know good or bad, they don't have humanity.

Only such a person would not hesitate to burn a child alive.

The people who have the ability to cultivate this kind of dead soldier have already eliminated 95% of the people in Datang.

The rest are cutting down some people from the Tiance Mansion, that is, Lao Cheng and them.

In the removal of those who have no intersection with Li Chengyang, there are few left.

Then the rest is impossible and possible.

Wang's family! It's the Wang family again.

Li Chengyang's teeth creaked.

"Let's find it, even if we destroy this place, we must find the evidence we want",

Li Chengyang commanded, walked out of the door, and squatted on the ground inch by inch, looking for possible clues.

As long as he found a little clue, he rushed to the door to seek revenge on the Wang family.

After a while, the people from Dali Temple arrived, and a group of people led two servants to rush over.

In a short time, four unrecognizable corpses were placed in the courtyard, and the two servants were constantly discussing something together.

Li Chengyang leaned in and listened, it was still the same as what Li Shi said.

Three were burned alive, and one committed suicide and died.

The rest are gone.

Everything on the murderer's body was reduced to ashes, not even anything to identify himself.

Li Chengyang sighed and prepared to continue looking for clues.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance.

When I looked up, I met a pair of familiar eyes.

Wang Lin sat in the repaired carriage and looked at Li Chengyang with a smile on his face.

Li Chengyang's brows furrowed, ignoring him.

Wang Lin laughed, turned his head and left with the doglegs around him.

The piercing laughter made Li Chengyang raise his head suddenly, and his eyes had turned red.
