Zuo Baoping explained the situation of tomb robbers very clearly, which actually proves from the side that he knows this industry very well, and he must have sold stolen goods for tomb robbers.

In the era of the Tang Dynasty, of course, even if it was not the Tang Dynasty, the punishment for tomb robbers was very severe.

Not only is the government punishing tomb robbers very large, even the people cannot tolerate this kind of thing, and even in some remote areas, if the people catch the tomb robbers, they are often killed directly, or even buried alive, without reporting to the officials at all.

Of course, it is impossible for the accomplices of the tomb robbers to report to the officials, so the people do not prosecute the officials, and the government often has a positive attitude towards the punishment of the tomb robbers by the people.

Of course, Li Rizhi would not say such a thing, so he would do whatever he needed and act in accordance with the law.

Li Rizhi said: "Then if you want to deduce, it means that the tomb robber Qiao Jindou and his accomplices buried the stolen goods in the Zuo family's pigsty, right?" ”

Zuo Baoping hurriedly nodded and said, "That's how the villain estimated!" ”

Li Rizhi said: "In this way, you take the things that Qiao Jindou collected, and you think they are the stolen goods obtained from the tomb robbery, write a list, and then the official will send someone to your house to look for them, see where these things were dug up, if you can find the stolen grave, check whose family it is, and return those burial goods to others." ”

Zuo Baoping knew that such a thing would definitely happen, it was impossible to say that the stolen goods would not be taken out when they were in their hands, and when the case did not appear, it must have been left by themselves, but now that the case has occurred, and he has also been involved in the case, then this loss, even if he wants to admit it, he can't do it.

Zuo Baoping's father was killed by Zhen Mengde, although no one has ever told him how he was killed, but he also knows very well that he must not go against the government, otherwise his father will be a lesson for him.

Zuo Baoping took out an envelope from his arms, took out a piece of paper from the envelope and handed it to the county commander, he said: "This is a list of stolen goods, the villain is written on it, just because the villain came in a hurry, so those stolen goods are not carried with him, the county magistrate can send someone to the villain's shop, the villain has told his family, if there is a messenger coming, then hand over the prepared stolen goods according to the list, and never dare to hide a little." ”

Li Rizhi nodded, this Zuo Baoping is still quite sensible, if he cooperates well, he can be lightly dismissed.

Then, Li Rizhi asked Shao Shan to lead the way in front, and they went to the woods, which were actually not big, strictly speaking, they should be regarded as two forests, because there was a small river in the woods, or a stream, which divided the woods into two pieces.

It may be that there is a lot of stone in the woods, and the closer you are to the river, the more large, round pebbles there are, and these pebbles are quite good materials if they are used to build houses, at least they don't cost money, and they are free materials.

Shao Shan took Li Rizhi and others to the place where he found Huang Meiyu, which actually did not enter the woods, but was still on the edge of the woods.

Shao Shan is an oil seller, he will not go into the woods with his burden, he just passed by here, and he did not go to Xiaozuo Village to sell oil that day.

Shao Shan pointed to the edge of the woods and said, "The villain is following here, and then that Qiao Jindou ran back and beat the villain." ”

Li Rizhi took a look around, although this is not a lively area where people come and go, but there are often people walking around, so even if there are any traces, they may not be able to be preserved, and even if some suspicious signs are found, it may not be left by Qiao Jindou, but the traces of others.

Li Rizhi led people into the woods, and suddenly, Cheng Zizi shouted: "Look, is that a shoe?" ”

Following the direction of Cheng Zizi's finger, everyone looked and saw an embroidered shoe thrown under a big tree, this embroidered shoe was white, and the pattern was embroidered with black thread, which did not look bright.

Immediately, someone ran over and picked up the embroidered shoe.

Zuo Li Chang looked at the embroidered shoes, and immediately shouted: "Lord County, these shoes, these shoes are the villain's sister-in-law's, she is widowed in my house, so she doesn't wear bright things, these shoes are what she usually wears, and most of her clothes are like this." ”

The color and style of this shoe are consistent with the identity of Huang Meiyu's widow, but this shoe fell here, I'm afraid Huang Meiyu did it on purpose, so that others could find her!

When the two brothers of the Huang family saw the shoe, they became uncomfortable together.

The road in this place is quite difficult to walk, and my sister dropped one of her shoes in order to show the way, so wouldn't it be more difficult for her to walk barefoot, wouldn't she have to suffer a lot.

According to the direction where the shoes pointed, Li Rizhi and the others continued to look forward until they found the small river.

But at this distance they found nothing, nothing else pointing the way.

Li Rizhi and they crossed the river and walked further, but they didn't go far, but they found another shoe, the color and style were exactly the same as the previous one, there is no doubt that Huang Meiyu should also be pointing out the direction to the people looking for her.

Li Rizhi looked ahead, out of this forest, the next village is Zhengyang Village, but Zhengyang Village is relatively remote, and there are fewer fields that can be cultivated, so this village pays less taxes every year, Li Rizhi knew this when he checked the county's account books.

The villagers of Zhengyang Village live relatively scattered, unlike Xiaozuo Village, where the villagers live in one place.

This situation in Zhengyang Village is mainly due to the scattered relationship between the fields, and because of the proximity to the mountains, there are woodcutters and hunters who cut firewood and hunters in Zhengyang Village, these people do not have fixed fields, and they are often not at home during the day, so it is not easy to find such people.

Unless they are waiting in this village until they all go home in the evening, so that they can be questioned by the villagers one by one.

But even if this is the case, it is not necessary to ask all the villagers of Zhengyang Village, because some hunters may not come back at night.

Li Rizhi said to Cheng Zizi: "If you want to inspect Zhengyang Village, I'm afraid you will really waste some time." ”

Cheng Zizi said: "I feel that there is a smell of blood around here, the smell of blood is not very strong, but there must be." ”

Li Rizhi immediately ordered his subordinates to disperse and carefully searched around.

After a while, an errand officer shouted: "Lord Prefectural Commander, there are bloodstains here, a lot of bloodstains, it seems that there was a fight here, and someone was injured." ”

When the two brothers Huang Wen and Huang Wu heard this, they hurriedly ran over there, and saw that there was a large blood stain on the ground full of pebbles, and if this was human blood, then the injured person should have shed a lot of blood.

The two brothers, Huang Wen and Huang Wu, were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled for a while, and the brothers' performance was the same.
