"Headless corpse case, lord, there was another headless corpse case in the west of the city last night."

"In the early hours of the morning, the county government came to report that a decomposing corpse was found in a well in the north of the city......

"In the grove south of the city, several corpses that were burned alive by fire appeared for no reason......

"Oops, it's messy, it's messy......"

In the yamen of the Criminal Department, all the officials of the Criminal Department arrived early in the morning.

Generally speaking, there is nothing major about it, and it is impossible for all the officials to come, but in just one night, several vicious incidents occurred in the entire capital in a row, and the people in the capital were panicked, which also made the people of the Yamen of the Criminal Department feel a lot of pressure, and they were all like ants on a hot pot.

In the court, Zhao Yi, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, told Li Lang about several cases that had occurred in the capital and near the capital from last night to the present, and the whole person was stupid after finishing speaking.

It's really too much of a coincidence, and all the cases happened together as if they had been discussed in advance.

What a coincidence.

Zhao Yi's spittle flew sideways, and the officials present were all frightened.

Li Lang frowned, thinking of a vicious murder incident he encountered at the entrance of the alley in the morning, and felt that these cases were not so simple.

He asked, "Lord Zhao, have the murderers in these cases not been caught?" ”

Zhao Yi nodded, "If the lower officials catch them, there is no need to bother the prince here." ”

Li Lang asked again: "Is there no clue at all?" ”

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I'm really in a hurry to get off the official." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the full hall of officials and shouted, "What are you still standing here doing, don't you let me go down to investigate the case." ”

A cadre of officials only promised, and after bowing their hands to Zhao Yi and Li Lang, they walked down quickly.

Li Lang thought for a while and said, "If you don't do this first, I also encountered a murder case in the morning, Lord Zhao, why don't you want to try me for this?" ”

Zhao Yi looked at him unexpectedly: "What? On the way to the Ministry of Punishment, was the prince attacked? ”

Li Lang shook his hand: "It's not that I was attacked, but that I caught the three murderers who broke into the house." ”

As he spoke, he asked Bai Ruyu to escort the three ruffians up.

Seeing this, Zhao Yi stepped onto the public case.

Li Lang followed him and sat aside.

When the middle-aged woman also came to church.

Zhao Yicai slapped the shocked wood hard.

He shouted, "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

The middle-aged woman said: "Zhang Rongshi, a civil woman, is the plaintiff in this case. ”

Zhao Yi glanced at Zhang Rong's family, then looked at the three ruffians beside her, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

From left to right, the ruffians said one by one:

"Villain Zhang San."

"Villain Niu Er."

"Villain King Five."

"We are all residents of Pingxifang."

Zhao Yi nodded and asked, "Then why did you kill Zhang Rong's husband and her children?" ”

"This ......"

The three of them were divided and refused to tell the truth.

Zhang Rongshi on the other side said: "My lord, my husband has always been honest and duty-bound, never quarreled with others, and there is no enemy in our family. ”

Zhao Yi thought for a while and shouted: "Come on, if you are punished, the official will not believe it, and under the punishment, there are still people who do not confess." ”

At this moment, one of the arresters under the case suddenly stepped forward and said, "Lord Qiyu, the villain has observed these three people for a long time, and it can be determined that they are not from Pingxifang. ”

"What? Is there such a thing? ”

Zhao Yi showed a look of disbelief, he looked at the three ruffians under the case: "You, who are you?" ”

"The four surnames have come back for revenge, and you all have to die."

"The four surnames have come back for revenge, and you all have to die."

"The four surnames have come back for revenge, and you all have to die."

"Poof......

As soon as Zhao Yi's words fell, the three ruffians under the case suddenly sang an incomprehensible ballad.

Then one by one, as if they had taken some kind of medicine beforehand, they bled to death together.

Damn, what's going on?

It's not a common sense at all.

In the court, everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Lang, who was on the side of the public case, clenched his fists and remembered what Miao Renfeng had hidden from him.

"Ahh

Zhang Rongshi was the first to call out.

At this shout, everyone in the court woke up.

Zhao Yi immediately stood up and shouted, "Call the doctor over!" ”

Soon, the doctor from the yamen came.

He knelt on the three people who had bled to death by seven orifices, studied and pondered for a long time, and then replied to Zhao Yi: "My lord, they have eaten a poison that attacks on time, if they can't return to the person who gave them the poison on time, they will attack at the set time and die of poison." ”

"What?"

Zhao Yi's expression was extremely shocked.

Seeing this, Li Lang thought of an extremely terrible thing, and he said to Zhao Yi: "Lord Zhao, according to what the doctor in the case said, someone must have instigated these three murderers who pretended to be ruffians to deliberately commit murder everywhere and harm innocent people. ”

Zhao Yi nodded and agreed incomprehensibly.

Li Lang continued: "The cases you told me just now broke out overnight, and I suspect that they are all related to the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Awesome.

Zhao Yi raised his thumb and said, "What the prince said is true, but they are all dead, how to catch this mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Hearing this, Li Lang also fell into deep thought, and then said, "Lord Zhao, please come with me to the back hall......"

"Yes."

Some things can't be said on the surface, as soon as Zhao Yi heard Li Lang's words, he understood what the other party meant.

When they arrived together in the back hall.

Li Lang asked, "Lord Zhao, let me ask you, how are the two people I detained last night?" ”

The prince's business is my business.

Zhao Yi has always been concerned about the fact that Miao Renfeng and Sa Chong were locked up together last night, and he said: "Back to the prince, Na Sachong's bones are really hard, it's been a night, and he hasn't let out a fart, but that Miao Renfeng is different, before the lower official saw you, he personally went to the cell, does the prince know what kind of voice came from the cell where they were held?" ”

Li Lang shook his head, he only remembered that before leaving, he asked the jailer who guarded the door not to make any sound, even if he gave food to the Miao people, he couldn't talk to him, he couldn't even let out a fart, and if the other party deliberately provoked trouble, he had to endure it in his stomach.

Zhao Yi said: "That Miao Renfeng, don't look at the bones so hard before entering, once no one cares about him and lets him live in a dark environment, he will almost go crazy."

Whenever someone passed by the door of his cell, he asked:

Brother Guancha, what time is it?

Brother Guancha, you can talk to me.

Brother Guancha, I'll make you ......"

"Alas, he's going crazy."

Hearing this, Li Lang shook his head and said: "It's only one night, it's not enough, continue to close, Lord Zhao, this person is definitely helpful for us to catch the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands."

Zhao Yi said, but looked at Li Lang with a frightened face, His Royal Highness King Xiang is really terrifying, more terrible than the devil......
