Zhao Ergou was a fisherman on the Xinyang River, and in his mouth, Wang Mang and the others quickly understood what was happening here.

Half a day ago, Zhao Ergou came to the river to fish as usual, but as soon as the fishing net went down, he felt that he had caught something, with Zhao Ergou's experience, there was definitely no fish in the net, and he didn't care, so he used his skills to shake the fishing net and threw the things in the fishing net down the river.

Originally, Zhao Ergou thought that this was the end of the matter, but who would have thought that for a moment, a corpse appeared directly in the water, and Zhao Ergou was almost scared to death at that time.

Zhao Ergou realized that the matter was a bit serious, so he even crawled to inform Sun Wuhan, and after Sun Wuhan arrived, he asked Zhao Ergou to salvage all the bodies.

Zhao Ergou was still a little shocked on his face, looked at Lu Yuan, and kowtowed vigorously: "Master, this matter has nothing to do with the little one, and the little one doesn't know anything." ”

Lu Yuan waved his hand, motioned to the official to pull Zhao Ergou down, and then looked at Wang Mang and said, "Brother Wang, what do you think?"

"Judging by the level of decomposition of the corpses, this has been happening for a while. Wang Mang pondered for a moment, combined with the findings of the post-mortem over there: "If the reasoning is correct, it was rumored in the city that when the Lu family was far away from Xinyang City, the Lu family had been wiped out, and even thrown into the river. ”

"Then why do these corpses still float up? Could it be that they floated down from the upstream?" Lu Yuan frowned and said, "Listening to Zhao Ergou's meaning just now, this kind of thing often happens in the river. ”

"Probably not. Wang Mang shook his head and said, "I think it should be that the corpse is decomposed, swollen, and can no longer sink into the water, so it floated up under the buoyancy of the river." ”

"That's what Lord Wang said. At this time, he said: "But not completely, from the autopsy, the corpse has a rope under its feet, and there are bruises on its ankles, which should have been tied to a heavy object and sunk at that time, but the rope was of some inferior quality, and it was soaked in water and rotted, so as soon as the rope was broken, the swollen corpse floated up." ”

"Can you be sure?" Wang Mang's eyes flashed.

He was a little displeased and said, "You can't question my professionalism!"

Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "I'm just looking for you to confirm, what kind of attitude do you have!"

In the end, Lu Yuan was a county official, and he didn't dare to give too much face this time, but he still snorted, turned around and went back to busy himself.

Wang Mang knew that those who did this business, dealing with dead people every day, had a weird temperament, so he didn't care about this kind of behavior, but looked at Lu Yuan and said, "It seems that this matter is really an accident?"

"It must have been an accident. Lu Yuan also nodded.

The officials on the side couldn't figure out what the two adults were talking about, they all looked at the two of them in confusion, and Lu Yuan said again at this time: "Then what are you going to do?"

"Don't use the target sent to the door, it's too wasteful!" Wang Mang said with a smile.

That's exactly what I mean. Lu Yuan nodded, turned around, his face turned cold, and said: "Come on, bring me the main affairs of the four major families of Zhao, Qian, Sun and Li in Xinyang, I have something to look for them." ”

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan with a shocked face, and they couldn't figure out what the county magistrate was crazy about, and he was about to arrest all the heads of the four major families of Zhao Qian, Sun and Li with his mouth open, which was unimaginable in the eyes of everyone.

But in the end, there was the premise that Lu Yuan put Zhao Si, Qian Guangda and others in prison, although everyone was shocked, but in the end, several officials took a group of people back to the city to find the heads of the four major families.

Soon, when Wang Mang and the others returned to the county government, the heads of the four major families were also brought over, and the four heads had gloomy faces, and scolded Lu Yuan in their hearts for not knowing how to lift, but in the end they were afraid that Lu Yuan would go crazy, so they were put in prison together, and finally they all pinched their noses to see Lu Yuan.

"This official asks you, a few days ago, a few days ago, there were a few foreign affairs children of your four major families in Xinyang who entangled the Du Hong family, a wealthy businessman in the city, where have these people gone now?" Lu Yuan asked directly as soon as he saw the four major principals.

The four principals looked at each other, what happened outside the city had not yet reached the city, the four principals couldn't figure out what Lu Yuan wanted to do, the dead people glanced at each other, and finally Zhao Ming of the Zhao family spoke: "Lord Qiqi, Lord Lu, the people you said have all gone home to visit relatives, and they should be in Nanyang at present, I don't know what you are looking for them?"

"What's the matter? Big deal!" Lu Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Regardless of whether a few of them really go back or fake to go back, this official limits you to send people to the county government within two days, otherwise this matter will fall on a few of you." ”

"Lord Lu, what happened, we have to understand, right?" Li Xiaobai's face was gloomy, their Li family suffered the most serious losses in this turmoil, closing more than 20 restaurants, and none of them have been able to open until now, all of them are sealed by the county government, and all of them lose money every day.

"What happened, you will naturally know after you go out, and you don't need to say it to the official when the time comes, you also know the seriousness of the matter. Lu Yuan snorted and stretched out two fingers: "Two days, just two days!"

The four main things came and went faster, Lu Yuan didn't say a word, and directly drove the four people out, the four of them were furious, how could they say that they were also the representatives of the four major families in Xinyang, where had they ever been so angry.

After leaving the county office, the four of them glanced at each other, and Zhao Ming said, "Everyone, let's ask what happened first, right?"

Soon, Du Hong's family of four was wiped out, and the matter in the river of sunken corpses reached the ears of the four principals, the four principals, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Li Yibai slapped the table and scolded: "I said that bastard, how could he suddenly take leave, it turned out that he had committed such a big thing!

Human life is at stake, and the case of destroying the door is a major case that the imperial court must supervise, after all, from ancient times to the present, it has paid attention to the opening of the net, and this kind of thing of killing people and children is despicable at any time.

The four of them didn't think that the few people in their own family had nothing to do with this matter, first, Lu Yuan dared to say this, there must be evidence, and second, the four of them, as representatives of the four major families in Xinyang, had a lot of resources in their hands, and the actions of those foreign affairs children during this time were clearly transmitted to the ears of the four principals, and then from the time when those people left, and from the methods of those people, the four principals thought that they were all related to those people with their toes.

Zhao Ming's brows furrowed deeply, he had more information, and he knew that the main family had sent two sons to deal with the Xinyang incident, and such a thing happened at this juncture, it was simply ......

Zhao Ming didn't dare to imagine what would happen if the matter reached the ears of the two sons, but this matter couldn't be hidden, and finally looked at the other three and said: "This matter is no longer something we can call the shots, send the news back to Nanyang!"
