Ma Ying waited in the compound until the early hours of the morning, never closing his eyes all night, but as the sky got brighter and brighter, his heart became heavier and heavier. After a full five hundred elite subordinates actually went to the Shen family, there was no news.

An ominous premonition struck Ma Ying, and he came to the window to look at the sky, the rising sun exuded golden sunlight, shining on his body, but Ma Ying did not feel any temperature.

On the contrary, his heart was cold at the moment, and none of the five hundred elite subordinates had escaped back to report the news, obviously, he underestimated the hidden strength of the Shen family.

A moment later, one of his subordinates hurriedly came to report that the people outside were spreading the news that the Shen family had been exterminated overnight.

After Ma Ying heard the news, he immediately changed into his regular clothes, and then went to the Shen Mansion with two of his subordinates to check.

The county commander received news early in the morning that the whole city was under complete martial law at this moment, and a thousand officers and soldiers were guarding the entire Shen Mansion. The county order, accompanied by the chief catcher, entered Shen's house to check the situation.

From the front yard to the back yard, everything in the Shen Mansion was completely destroyed. There was no breath of life in the house, only corpses all over the ground.

The county magistrate stopped in the front yard, and the smell of blood in the air made him very unwell. The destruction of the Shen family made him even more in a trance, and the heavy blow made him unable to take a single step, and the whole person fell into dementia.

The chief catcher didn't dare to disturb him, and after ordering someone to take care of the county order, he took dozens of catchers into the Shen Mansion to check.

After a long time, the chief catcher turned back and said to the county commander: "My lord, all the people in the mansion from the subordinates to the mansion have been killed, and even the ......." ”

The chief catcher didn't dare to say any more, he had already seen the county commander's face begin to darken, if he continued, I was afraid that the county commander would not be able to withstand the blow, and something would happen.

The county order was indeed on the verge of collapse at this moment, and after reezing for a long time, he coldly ordered: "Tell the truth!" ”

A trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the chief catcher, and finally he said truthfully: "Even the chickens and dogs in the house were not spared, and they were all slaughtered!" ”

A heavy gasp came from the chest of the county commander, and the county commander, who looked like a madman, asked coldly again: "Have you ever found out who the murderer is?" ”

The chief catcher was holding two embroidered spring knives in his hands at the moment, with a little fear on his face, and said uncertainly: "All those black-clothed people in the mansion use this kind of knife. ”

The two embroidered spring knives were placed in front of the county commander, and the fear on the face of the chief catcher became deeper and deeper, if he didn't guess wrong. The murderer of the Shen Mansion was none other than the famous Jinyiwei.

But at this moment, the head catcher also has doubts in his heart, he is also a local, and he knows the Shen family well. To say that the Shen family will offend Jinyiwei, this is absolutely impossible.

It's just that everything in front of him points to Jin Yiwei, and he really doesn't understand what is going on inside?

The county magistrate didn't recognize the embroidered spring knife, he still had a cold face, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and roared: "So, who do you think the murderer will be?" ”

The chief catcher didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and blurted out: "Jinyiwei!" ”

After hearing this, the county magistrate really fell silent, but soon he spoke again: "Are you sure? ”

The chief catcher nodded very firmly and said, "If this is not the murderer's means to make trouble, then the identity of these black-clothed people is undoubtedly Jinyiwei." The imperial court only Jinyi Wei is equipped with this kind of embroidered spring knife, and other people dare to use it are a big taboo. ”

"Why? Why did my Shen family never have any holiday with Jinyiwei, but they wanted to make such a ruthless move to destroy my Shen family? The county magistrate muttered to himself, as if he were crazy.

Such a heavy blow is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear, especially when they don't know the truth, they are destroyed by the brocade guards for no reason.

The chief catcher didn't seem to be able to bear the county order to go crazy like this again, and hurriedly said: "My lord, we searched around the mansion just now, but we didn't find the bodies of Patriarch Shen Qing and his second uncle. Could it be that they are still alive at the moment? ”

Hearing this, the county magistrate immediately regained his clarity, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure you didn't see the bodies of the two of them?" ”

The chief catcher nodded affirmatively: "It's true that they haven't been found, but it doesn't rule out that they were caught, or they encountered accidents elsewhere!" ”

The county order, which was still a little hopeful just now, was hit again in an instant, but this time he didn't give up on himself. Instead, he roared loudly and immediately led people to look for the two of them, and they wanted to see the corpse when they died, and they wanted to see the person alive.

In the face of the county order that would collapse at any time, the chief catcher did not dare to hesitate, and after receiving the order, he immediately set out with all the catchers and began to search the whole city.

In the backyard of Mao's Mansion, Shen Qing and his second uncle were taken here by two Dongjiang Army soldiers to hide temporarily after they escaped from Shen Mansion last night.

The two of them spent the whole night in fear, and it was not until dawn that the two of them looked forward to the return of Xu Fuju and Chengzuo.

But after asking, I learned that the Shen Mansion was slaughtered from top to bottom. In other words, at present, there are only two people left in front of the entire Shen family, and only the county order is left.

The two of them fell into an ice cave after learning the news, and at the same time realized the seriousness of the matter. After a brief discussion, Shen Qing and his second uncle both asked to meet Mao Wenlong.

Xu Fuzuo and Cheng Zuo were very happy, and immediately arranged for someone to send the two to the farm to meet Mao Wenlong.

The murderer who killed the Shen family was the object that Shen Qing could not take revenge on, and now his life was difficult to protect himself. Whether it was for the Shen family or for his own life, Shen Qing felt the need to seek refuge from Mao Wenlong.

In such a situation in front of him, the only person he can rely on is Mao Wenlong. But he was also very worried at the moment, after all, this time it was Jinyiwei who arrived, even if Mao Wenlong supported his own troops, Shen Qing couldn't be sure that Mao Wenlong would fight Jinyiwei in order to help him.

Not long after Shen Qing and the others left the city, the murder of the Shen Mansion spread in the city, and the chief catcher also staggered with Shen Qing and them, and failed to find the two in the city.

In the end, when Xu Fuzuo and Cheng Zuo learned that the county order was looking for someone, they sent someone to inform Shen Qing and his second uncle of their movements.

The prefectural magistrate cheered up a little when he learned that the two were still alive. He soon disguised himself and followed the two Yejiabao soldiers who went to report the news out of the city to meet Mao Wenlong.

Shencheng was still shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and teams of officers and soldiers could be seen searching all the houses or inns in the streets and alleys of the city.

Anyone who is suspicious has been arrested indiscriminately and put in prison. The people were stirred up to mourn and complain, but they dared not speak out.

After Ma Ying and his two subordinates determined that the guards of the Shen Mansion were not very strict, the three of them immediately climbed over the wall and entered the Shen Mansion to investigate.
