The next day, at dawn, at dawn.

There was a sleepy-eyed vendor in the city of Huazhou who sold old breakfast soup, but he still yawned and carried a flat pole out to set up a stall to sell, and when he passed the corner of the mansion of the prefect of Honshu, he was about to cough up a mouthful of thick phlegm according to his daily custom, and spit towards the official residence. But in the haze, the vendor vaguely felt that something was wrong, the gate and wall of He Taishou's official residence seemed to be painted with vermilion, and the originally closed door of the mansion was also half open, and there seemed to be something hanging above the eaves.

At this time, the sky was still very dark, and the vendor could not tell the difference. Curious, he squinted his lantern to take a closer look. When the vendor walked into the twenty or so steps, and finally saw clearly what He Taishou's mansion was painted on, and what was hanging on the door of the mansion, he screamed in shock! The merchant sat down on the ground in horror, and the old soup carried by the flat shoulder was also poured into the ground.

Because the vendor could see that the wall at the entrance of the mansion was covered with blood, and there was a bloody human head in front of the mansion, and a few lines of big characters were written on the gate of the mansion with blood!

Although this vendor was illiterate, he saw that the human head with frightened and distorted facial features on his face was none other than the notorious prefect He Taishou of the Huazhou Territory!

"Oh my lord! This scares people to death! The trader was so frightened that he got up, and was about to run to the government office to report to the official, when he was shocked to think: Hugh said that this dog official is usually a dog beast who is greedy and cruel to the people, bullying and dominating the market, and now he has been cut off by someone, but this is also a murder case that the state government official should try, so who should investigate this case?

.............

The assassination of He Taishou's own mansion caused a sensation when he landed in Huazhou, and the people in the market talked about it in the streets, and most of the people applauded. Since the gang of thieves dared to assassinate the state officials, most of the heads and servants in the government were also killed that night, who knows when they will not touch their own house?

As for the lines of blood written at the door of He Taishou's mansion, it is written that the one who killed this dog official was a good man in the green forest on the boundary of Yongxing Military Road, because among a group of righteous brothers, there were miserable people who were killed by He Taishou......

And the information left by the group of "green forest heroes", most of the people in the city are also willing to believe it, because except for He Taishou, most of the people who were killed that night were fierce and evil officials who often ran rampant and bullied in the market, or the dogs and arrogant nurses in the He Mansion, and the rest of the men, helpers, maids, and maids were either knocked out or tied up with the three-room concubines of He Taishou, and their lives were not ruined. It should have been long ago that the whole door of this house was killed.

In fact, after Xiao Tang killed He Taishou, he really planned to leave the handwriting of "Murderer, Iron-faced Pig Quan Yu is also", and then he only slightly summed it up, and his appearance in the Huazhou boundary had already been killed by the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the "Quan Yu", the co-owner of several mountains in the green forest, also came and went thousands of miles to and from that He Taishou's dog...... Isn't this a clear way to lead the true identity of the mysterious hero in the green forest to himself? The content of the blood words left behind did not reveal at all the people in the green forest who killed He Taishou.

Even so, there will still be some people who are suspicious of Xiao Tang's head.

It's just that now the officials in the Huazhou Mansion don't have the heart and energy to investigate what the relationship between Xiao Tang and He Taishou was killed, because since the people in the city learned that the dog official who harmed the good people had finally suffered retribution, two women first came forward to sue him, accusing He Taishou of forcibly taking and robbing, tarnishing the innocence of the woman of the good family, and designing to frame the good people. Now that He Taishou, who suppressed the people under his rule, has died, and now someone has taken the lead in exposing the officials, and a large number of people in the city have gone to the government to denounce the dog officials for harming the people.

Now the Yongxing Army Road Xian Division has not sent officials to control the situation, and now they have missing the backbone of He Taishou, and the forbidden army in the Huazhou Command and Envoy Division, who has always been a powerful and prosperous person, has not dared to show up these days like a fed of frightened quails. The officials in the government were also afraid that it would not be long before the increasingly angry people would pull out these indiscriminate officials who had also followed He Taishou to fight for the tiger and beat them to death.

Finally, there was a Confucian official in the palace who patted his head, and thought that the holy decree of Qin Feng was about to send incense to Xiyue, and he would be able to pass through the Taiwei Su Yuanjing in Huazhou on the same day.

Nasu Yuanjing is also the captain of the palace in front of the division, although not as powerful as Gao Yu who is in charge of the power of the soldiers and horses of the Bianliang Forbidden Army in Tokyo, but he is also a senior official of the imperial history and the central government, and now he is under the imperial decree of the official family to talk about Xiyue Huashan to worship the gods and pray for the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, and Huazhou, which is near the left of Huashan, has made such a scene, it is said that he can invite such a high-ranking official to preside over the overall situation, so as to be able to control the situation.

Of course, the helpless officials in the Huazhou Mansion also thought of respectfully hearing that Xiao Tang, who was also close to Huashan and was about to return to the house, came to appease the people for the time being. But they also knew very well that Xiao Tang's trip to Huazhou was to work against He Taishou, and these officials and scribes who had followed He Taishou for a long time were not clean in their hands and feet, if He Taishou's assassination really had something to do with Xiao Tang...... Isn't that a moth to a fire, and it's going to hit the knife edge that others have sharpened a long time ago?

So, as soon as the official ship arrived at Su Yuanjing, which was not far from the border of Huazhou, he was begged and begged by the officials in the Huazhou Mansion, and he was invited to the Huazhou Mansion in a daze.

If Su Yuanjing is a generous person and a kind man, although Zhao Ji is a faint gentleman who is greedy for pleasure, he would rather dislike the official family, but also reflect to Zhao Ji and tell the people about their suffering. When he learned that the prefect of Huazhou was assassinated by the strongman of the green forest, and that there was even a civil uprising in the city, he was unequivocal, and immediately sent his entourage Yu Hou Junjian to rectify the order of the market in Huazhou City, and successively met the people who came to denounce He Taishou's evil deeds, and sorted out clues to find out who assassinated He Taishou.

And now that He Taishou has been killed by Xiao Tang, there is no need for any Cai Dangmen, and even the personal relationships he relies on gold and silver in the officialdom. The civil and military officials in the Huazhou Mansion all knew that He Taishou had done everything he could to imprison a woman from a good family to prostitute herself, frame her family, and use her power to bully civilians, and a series of ugly and evil deeds would soon be exposed to the world.

Therefore, at this juncture, all the officials in the Huazhou Mansion also reported to Su Yuanjing like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, exposing He Taishou's lawless and obscene deeds in private, whether they had anything to do with it or not, they poured dirty water on He Taishou's dead man, only saying that they didn't know anything before, and it was only after Huazhou aroused public anger that they knew that He Taishou was such a well-dressed beast.

After Su Yuanjing integrated the confessions of the officials and people in Huazhou, and ordered the internal detention department of the government to take out the files of the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases that He Taishou had previously decided, he already knew very well why He Taishou was assassinated, and what kind of stupid national worm he was before. Su Yuanjing was immediately so angry that his face turned pale, and he scolded in his heart that he was really like a traitorous official such as Cai Jing, and the protégé he taught was such a brute who corrupted the country!

But since it is a murder, it is also necessary to find out who the culprit is, and Su Yuanjing immediately thought of Xiao Tang. I heard that Xiao Tang was an old friend some time ago, and he wanted to save his daughter who was imprisoned by He Taishou and led the crowd to break into the prefect's mansion, and the news was also in a uproar in Huazhou at that time. Since Xiao Tang has been praised as a Ren Xia and knows a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, although there are words about the blood of the strongman in the green forest of Yongxing Military Road and the desire to kill officials and eliminate harm, how can this murder case be separated from that Xiao Tang?

And just as Su Yuanjing frowned and pondered, thinking about how to report to the imperial court, his subordinate Yu Hou came to report to him: "Su Taiwei, Marshal Xiao Tang Xiao has arrived at the mansion and has come to see him." ”
