Chang'an County Ling suddenly felt that his heart suddenly stopped, dead man? At this time, he actually gave him a murder! Today is the day of the Zen ceremony, who has such a big enmity with himself, and gives himself an army at such a time, if the emperor knows about this, then the dragon power will not be sent to him soon?

The Chang'an County Commander's face was as dead as ashes, and he asked softly and uncertainly, "Are you sure there are really dead people?" Isn't it a false case deliberately reported by someone with a heart? ”

The county replied in a low voice: "The lower official has personally gone to the scene to inspect it, and there are indeed eleven corpses. ”

"What? Eleven? ”

Chang'an County Commander's heart is even more uneasy, eleven corpses, eleven lives, eleven homicides, is this... Is this a sin created in the previous life, less than a year after taking office, there have been so many murders, the most before were small cases of theft, and now there are eleven murders in one day, is this God going to make up for the previous murders that did not happen in one day?

The county commander of Chang'an was also sweating profusely at this moment, sweating more than the county Cheng who ran all the way, he felt that his heartbeat was much faster, and his hands were trembling and trembling.

He cautiously glanced at the emperor, and then looked at the surrounding situation, everyone was listening carefully, no one paid attention to his situation here, his heart eased a little, and after calming down, he quietly left the crowd with the county and ran all the way down.

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he didn't have any news, so he got into the carriage and went straight to Chang'an City.

"When did the murder take place?"

The county replied, "About an hour ago." ”

"More than an hour?"

Chang'an County Ling Meiyu frowned more and more, and muttered: "Eleven murders occurred at the same time in one hour, and this... ”

He turned his head and asked the county again: "Eleven corpses are all in one place?" ”

The county shook his head and said: "Scattered in eleven places, there is a corpse in almost every other Fang City, but these Fang Markets are relatively concentrated, only two of the eleven Fang Markets are separated by a Fang City, and there are no fatalities in this Fang City, and there are homicides in other connected Fang Cities." ”

Chang'an County Order's brows tightened, and he stroked his beard and habitually analyzed: "It's not in one place, it's the same person again, who has such good skills, can kill several people in a short time, and the distance in the middle is still so long... Only the same group of people can kill several people in a short period of time, and they all killed people more than an hour ago, and it seems that they have agreed to do so, but why did they kill people? What is the purpose? ”

He paused when he thought of this, and then asked, "Who are the dead?" ”

The county man frowned and said: "They are all ordinary people, and it is very strange to say, these are honest ordinary people, I don't know why the wicked people will attack them, these people usually have no grievances with others." ”

"Ordinary people?"

Chang'an County Commander asked himself rhetorically, he didn't know how to analyze it, he couldn't understand what the purpose of these people was, they would attack an ordinary person, and they would kill the other party's life at once, what a big hatred this is, strange, strange.

He pondered for a while but didn't come up with a reason, and sighed and said, "Let's tell the official about the details of the matter first." ”

Then he lay down and quietly listened to the report of the county Cheng: "About half an hour after the lord left, someone from the yamen came to beat the drum, and after the lower official met the person who beat the drum and asked the reason, he learned that the woman's husband died for no reason, she said that her husband was going to go to Yashan to participate in the ceremony of sealing the Zen, her husband went out happily, and was killed not long after, she didn't know at the time, it was the neighbor who heard a wail outside, and came out to see that her husband had fallen in a pool of blood, Then the neighbor hurriedly ran to tell her that she couldn't make up her mind at that time, and at the suggestion of the neighbors around her, she ran to report the crime, hoping that we would solve the case and catch the murderer to avenge her husband.

She was crying very fiercely, and after listening to a few words of comfort to her, he took a group of people to the scene to check, and just arrived at the yamen, the lower officials saw someone crying and running over, and they also came to report the case, saying that the situation was basically similar to the case reported by the first woman, and it didn't take long for people to come to report the case one after another, and a total of 20 people came before and after, and some people came together.

Eleven Fang City, eleven murders, Xia Guan was very strange at the time, immediately took someone to check, a little investigation, did not find anything abnormal, these deceased were relatively honest and honest before their deaths, and the relationship with the neighbors was also good, not like a vendetta, Xia Guan was very puzzled, he couldn't make a decision, so he had to find an adult to go out. ”

Chang'an County Commander was still leaning lazily, at this moment he was a little calmer, and the whole person calmed down, when he heard this, he asked lightly: "In addition to the fact that these dead died at the same hour, do they have anything else in common?" ”

Xian Cheng thought for a while and said, "There is one thing in common, that is, they are all going to go to Yashan to participate in the Zen Sealing Ceremony... My lord, could it be that other people also want this place, and after the red eyes, they took away this opportunity to go to Yashan, the representative brands on these deceased have been taken away, everyone knows that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be lucky enough to participate in this ceremony, not only to see the true face of the emperor, but also to have a direct dialogue with the emperor, this kind of honor for ordinary people, can also be left in the family tree, at least in the future in front of the neighbors can also brag once・・・・・・"

"Unlikely."

Chang'an County Ling shook his head slightly, and his brows became more and more frowned: "If it is just ordinary neighbors in order to snatch the opportunity to participate in the Zen Sealing Ceremony, it should not be such a coincidence, the time will not be so coincidental, and the location will not be so coincidental, it will be a few times in a row This kind of thing happened, if it is really according to what you said, this kind of thing should be more random and lazy, and it is impossible to be more regular and premeditated like now." ”

"There's ・・・・・・ in this"

The magistrate of Chang'an County sighed: "I'm afraid there is a big conspiracy, but... Who will kill those innocent people for this conspiracy?" They're just going to the ceremony, they're just ・・・・・・"

"They all have representative signs・・・・・・"

He thought for a while, and then continued to analyze: "These representative signs were taken by those murderers, which means that they will participate in the Zen Ceremony on behalf of these people, they are among those people at the moment, and the murderer should be on the top of Yashan Mountain!" ”

"Turn back! Go to Agsan! ”

The Chang'an County Commander shouted, the coachman turned around, whipped the horse, and the carriage drove away on the way back, the county Cheng looked at the Chang'an County Commander with admiration, and said with great joy: "My lord is really wise, the location of the murderer has been determined in a short period of time, admire, the lower official is really admired!" ”

There was not much joy on the face of the Chang'an County Commander, he still looked sad, not to mention how to report to the above even if these cases were successfully solved, the current situation alone is not optimistic, even if it is guessed that the murderer is on the top of Yashan Mountain, but how to identify the murderer? How to find out who the real murderer is, these are enough to give him a headache, and he can't arrest all the people who participated in the ceremony and ask them.

Now he regrets a little why he didn't register when he first selected these representatives, but when he thinks about it carefully, he feels that he has no regrets, even if he registers, it is just a person's name, and as for what this person looks like, he still doesn't know, not to mention the background, ordinary people are just like that・・・・・・

"Huh? Arrest them all, ask them one by one, the people who participated in the ceremony are basically the head of the fang, call up their information, check the background one by one, for example, who is he in the family, how many people are in the family, his status in the family, if he is the head of the fang, then how many people are in the fang market under his jurisdiction, who are in the fang market, who are his neighbors, how many children are in the neighbors, what are the nicknames... ”

After thinking like this, Chang'an County suddenly felt that it was still possible to find out the murderer behind the scenes, but... Another question arises, how to arrest these people, there is not so much time now, the emperor is opening the Zen ceremony, and at this moment he suddenly rushed to the emperor and said that he wanted to arrest these representatives of the people and go back to investigate the case, you said the emperor would agree? If Long Yan is angry, won't his head fall to the ground?

Alas, even if there is a way, it is still impossible to solve the case at this moment・・・・・・

"My lord, since these people are not the opportunity to participate in the ceremony for the sake of honor, as the lower official just said, what is the purpose of it, my lord, have you thought about it for so long and figured out the reason?"

The county Cheng's inquiry pulled the Chang'an County Order back from his thoughts, and when he was thinking about it just now, the County Cheng was also thinking, but the County Cheng couldn't think of a reason for thinking about it for a long time, so he pushed the question to the Chang'an County Order.

The Chang'an County Commander frowned and muttered: "Purpose, I want to think about it, since they are not for fame or profit, it is for greater hatred, do they want to target certain officials of the imperial court?" Or do they have a personal vendetta with some officials, or the murderer behind the murder has a big vendetta with some officials? But ・・・・・・"

He thought about it, and his brows became more and more frowned: "If they want to take revenge, why don't they go to those officials' homes to take revenge, why do they go to Yashan in every possible way, are they going to deal with more difficult officials, they can't even go home, are they trying to deal with ・・・・・・?"

"Not good! Fast! Fast! Fast! ”

The county asked suspiciously: "My lord, what's wrong, what possibility have you thought of?" ”

The Chang'an County Commander's face was as pale: "This official suspects that those people want to be unfavorable to the emperor!" ”

"Huh?!" The county was also taken aback, and his face gradually became difficult to look at.

Chang'an County Ling's face gradually turned pale, thinking that if he really guessed like himself, then he would not be able to escape Tang Lu's investigation and assassinate the emperor? It was a capital crime, although he did not participate in it, but the assassin appeared in front of the emperor as a common person under his jurisdiction, and the emperor investigated it, and the Chang'an County Decree could not escape the blame.

It's really fucking unlucky, this kind of thing happens in Chang'an County, which he governs, if a few appear in Wannian County, he also has a companion, maybe the two county orders can discuss countermeasures, and now he is alone, who will find a way to go.

At this moment, the Chang'an County Commander only hopes that he can catch up with those assassins to reach the top of the mountain, as long as he can stop this matter, no matter what means those people take, he will have a chance to make amends, perhaps...... There will be a reward, after all, it is the emperor's life that is saved

When the Chang'an County Commander was both worried and full of hope, he hurried to Yashan, and the ceremony of sealing Zen held in Yashan was nearing the end, and it was already time for those who asked questions on behalf of the people.

Boss Li was waiting for these people to put forward their hardships, and other officials were also waiting, but after waiting for a long time, none of the nearly one hundred and fifty people stepped forward to speak, and none of these people wanted to go up to mention the hardships around them, because they felt that they were living well, and they were quite satisfied with the imperial court. What more could you ask for if it's so good.

Seeing that none of the people dared to step forward, the officials of the Ministry of Rites couldn't hold their breath after waiting for a long time, and they all buried their heads in the matter.

He secretly glanced at Boss Li, and saw that the emperor was displeased, so frightened that the officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly showed the emperor's intentions, and then he looked down expectantly, when there was a commotion in the crowd, the frowning brows of the officials of the Ministry of Rites finally relaxed, and finally someone understood the practice, gave him face, and also gave Boss Li a step down.

He secretly glanced at Boss Li again, and found that the emperor had regained the happy look he had just now, and his heart was finally relaxed, facing the eleven people who were already standing in front of the crowd, and said loudly: "If you have any problems or need to be solved by the imperial court, just say it, and the emperor will pay attention to it."

Boss Li looked approvingly at the eleven people below, these people are brave people, and it is not simple for those who dare to stand up and make demands to the emperor, not to mention what these people will ask, the courage to stand up alone is worthy of praise, Boss Li decided that for this kind of Li people, to agree to their requests, he did not believe that he could still be asked by a few people.

The reason why Boss Li appreciates these people, of course, is not because of the courage of these people, but mainly because someone echoed his words, since he has released his words, if no one dares to come forward to ask questions in the end, then where will he, the boss of the Tang Dynasty, put his face? I was excited to give you some benefits, but in the end, none of you appreciated it, which doesn't give face to the Tang boss. (To be continued.) )
