The people around saw a person who was burned to black ashes suddenly stand out from a place of ashes, and they were all amazed, and the girls all turned their heads after screaming.

'Is he?' How could he be fine?' In front of the crowd, Zhang Zhi'an, the son of Zhang Quan, the city guard, muttered in shock after seeing this person. But when he finished speaking, he was the first to run.

'My lord, my lord, you are all right!' Zhang Zhi'an ran to the side of the dark scorpion, took off his coat and draped it over the dark scorpion's body and asked.

'What happened, why did it look like it had been burned by fire?' The dark scorpion took the clothes handed over by Zhang Zhi'an and put them on his body, looked around for a week and asked.

"My lord, last night, there was a fire after the work!" Zhang Zhi'an finished speaking, and suddenly the whole person sat on the ground paralyzed, holding the knees of the dark scorpion with both hands, and began to cry bitterly, "Father, eldest brother, are all buried in the fire!"

The dark scorpion was shocked when he heard this, and after looking around, he said, "I fell asleep when I came back to the house after drinking too much yesterday, and when I woke up, it became like this?"

'My lord, now that my father and eldest brother have died, this earth sacrifice city cannot be left without an owner for a day, and I ask my lord to preside over everything in the earth sacrifice city, and the villain will bury my father and eldest brother. Zhang Zhi'an said that he lay on the ground in pain and cried.

The people around saw Zhang Zhi'an so painful, and they all grieved, although Zhang Quan did not do anything great in the city, but he did not have an oppression of the people, and now this accident is a natural disaster, manpower is irreparable, and the new people do not know their temperament, so thinking about it, the people who followed the fire around were also sad.

At this moment, more than a dozen searching officials led by a middle-aged man with a mustache held a few corpses wrapped in white cloth and put them aside, came to Zhang Zhi'an's side and said, "Commander, now a total of eight corpses have been found, and they can't be separated." ’

After hearing this, Zhang Zhian wiped a handful of snot and tears, and said softly, "Save the body and continue the search." ’

After hearing this, the bearded official responded and got up and continued to lead everyone to start searching, and at the same time, the deputy general of the garrison led some garrisons to Zhang's mansion and stepped forward to Zhang Zhi'an.

'Second son, now that the eldest prince has been killed, please mourn, the earth sacrifice city is an important city in the northern Xinjiang of my Chishui country, and no one can preside over the overall situation. The adjutant general looked at the heartbroken Zhang Zhian and said.

'General Wang, if there is anything you need to obey the orders of Lord Dark in the future, Lord Dark is a special envoy sent by Lord Xiangfu. After hearing this, Zhang Zhian looked at the dark scorpion and said.

'Hey, how is this earth sacrifice city, your Zhang family father and son are more familiar than anyone else, everything in this earth sacrifice city will be presided over by you in the future, I came this time to read out the position of the new city guard of the earth sacrifice city, and now your loving father and eldest brother have an accident, then the position of the city guard of this earth sacrifice city will be taken by you Zhang Zhi'an. The dark scorpion looked at Zhang Zhi'an, who was in great pain, and said.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi'an suddenly came to his senses, and he couldn't care about the tears in the corners of his eyes and the snot at the tip of his nose, and knelt down and said, "My lord, how can the villain be able to take on such a big task, and I hope that the adult is deciding others, and the villain can't." ’

After hearing this, the dark scorpion bent down to help Zhang Zhi'an up, and then said, "The second prince doesn't have to be so modest, this is the decision of Lord Xiangfu, you obey the order, and the rest will be handed over to you, you and preside over all the big and small things in the city, I don't think it's so simple to have a fire last night, send a few people to me, I want to investigate this matter, and I can't let Lord Zhang and the eldest prince die in vain!"

After hearing this, Zhang Zhian kowtowed three times in a row, and then said, "Lord Xie, my lord must be my master!"

"Lord Zhang, please get up quickly, you are now the city guard of this earth sacrifice city, you can't kneel to me, in terms of official position, you are older than me." After hearing this, the dark scorpion helped Zhang Zhian up.

'Someone, find Zhang Xiangcheng. Zhang Zhi'an, who was helped up, said to a family member beside him.

After a while, the middle-aged yacha with the mustache at first trotted over.

'Zhang Xiangcheng, from today onwards, you will be the commander of the Yacha of the Earth Sacrifice City, and from today onwards, you will bring a few Yacha to obey the dispatch of Lord Dark. Zhang Zhi'an saw that the eight-character Hu Yacha named Zhang Xiangcheng came over, so he instructed him.

'Yes, my lord!' said Zhang Xiangcheng, who had a bearded beard, bowed his head.

"Okay, Lord Zhang, you better go and appease the people in the city first, and take care of all the matters in the earth sacrifice city, here I am, although, hey, but in any case, the state affairs are important, and please take the overall situation first." The dark scorpion looked at Zhang Zhi'an, and said with a heavy face.

Then I'll leave it to my lords. After hearing this, Zhang Zhi'an and the dark scorpion bowed their hands, said a word to each other, and then turned around with the garrison to comfort the surrounding people and go home to rest, and then walked towards the city.

The dark scorpion watched Zhang Zhi'an arrange the surrounding things steadily, and nodded after watching it disappear from sight, and then turned around to see the eight-character beard and several yacha behind him looking at him, and then said, "Surround the Zhang Mansion, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and I can't burn a city guard and garrison general as soon as I arrive, if this matter is not investigated, I will not be able to escape!"

If the adult has any command, the villain will do his best. After listening to the dark scorpion's words, the eight-character beard Zhang Xiangcheng arched his hand and said.

'Bring those bodies up, and I'll do an autopsy.' The scorpion nodded, then commanded.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiangcheng took a few officials to swing the bodies behind him one by one, and when the dark scorpion saw it, he came forward to take a look, the entire corpse had been burned beyond recognition, and it was impossible to tell who was who, if it wasn't for the timely firefighting, I am afraid that these corpses would have been burned into a pile of ashes.

"Based on your experience, was last night's fire a fire or man-made?" asked the dark scorpion after looking at all the corpses.

Zhang Xiangcheng shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, and said, "I have seen the dead one by one, and none of them are poisoned or struggling to death in the fire, they all inhaled a lot of smoke first and caused themselves to faint to death, and then died in the fire, and the villain preliminarily concluded that it was not man-made." ’

'Oh?' The dark scorpion squinted at Zhang Xiangcheng after hearing this, and said, "Although from the preliminary point of view of the corpses, it is true that none of the corpses were poisoned, or there was a violent struggle in the fire, and I can see this, if it were someone else, it would really be regarded as a normal fire." ’

Hearing the dark scorpion say this, Zhang Xiangcheng looked at the dark scorpion, and then said, "Listening to what the adults said, it seems that there is a mystery in this case, the villain is clumsy and clumsy, and he asked the adults to make it clear." ’

As far as I could see, there were two corpses that were a little strange, one of them was very peaceful, but one of his hands was so tightly held that his nails pierced the flesh, and it seemed that this man was awake when he died, but for some reason he endured great pain to create the illusion of death in his sleep, because the back of his neck had shrunk into a ball, which was obviously caused by the great pain he endured before he died, and the other body was the most normal of death, without a trace of physical reaction, which was the strangest of all。 The dark scorpion said this, paused, and looked at Zhang Xiangcheng.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiangcheng also looked at the dark scorpion, thought about it, and then said with a change in his face, "My lord, do you want to say that this person was already dead before he was about to be burned to death?"

'Hmm' Hearing Zhang Xiangcheng's answer, the dark scorpion nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Although the other people were killed in a coma, their bodies were more or less affected by the pain of the fire, but this corpse did not change at all, that is, it was directly burned like this, and all parts of the body did not become convulsive because of the fire, which can indicate that it was dead before it was burned, and this corpse belonged to the city guard Lord Zhang." ’

After hearing this, Zhang Xiangcheng's whole face suddenly changed greatly, he turned his head to look at the few corpses in the field, and then said viciously to his subordinates, "What do you think, no one has an adult who looks so carefully!"

It's useless to say this now, this fire, I am sure that it is man-made, and the person who set the fire is an irresistible person of Lord Zhang. The dark scorpion said, looked at the few people present, and said, "At present, I am afraid that I am the only person who can make Lord Zhang so afraid and willing, because he is afraid of the complementary Lord behind me." ’

Hearing the dark scorpion say this, the faces of several yacha present suddenly became very weird, and Zhang Xiangcheng was the most weird, and took a step forward and said, "My lord, although your analysis is correct, but there is one thing you missed, you have no motive to kill him, what can you do if you kill the city guard?"

Hearing the dark scorpion say this, several officials suddenly nodded their heads as if they had cleared the clouds.

What if Master Zhang and his two sons were all buried in the fire? And you have all seen that in the entire fire, only I survived, and the suspicion is the greatest, so let me be imprisoned first. After saying that, the dark scorpion sat down on the ground and raised his hands to wait for the yacha to arrest him.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiangcheng hurriedly took a few people to kneel, and said, "Don't joke about the adults, the villain can't bear it, the whole case looks at the whole case, the adults have no motive at all, the second son is on duty last night, and the deputy general is on duty tonight, if the adult really wants to sit in the position of the city guard, he can do it tonight, why leave the second son." ’

'Listening to what you say, it does make sense, so in this way, the first one that can make Master Zhang willing to die may not be there, so let me talk about the second one. The dark scorpion said this, looking at the few officials present.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiangcheng asked, "But please tell me." ’

And he committed a heinous crime, and he had already said it all, so that Master Zhang had to die to prove his crime, but he didn't expect that he would be counted by the other party from the beginning. The dark scorpion looked at Zhang Xiangcheng word by word and said.

After Zhang Xiangcheng heard this, his whole eyes widened, and his lips trembled uncontrollably, "This, this, this, how is this possible!"

The people present all looked uncertain when they saw Zhang Xiangcheng so lost and depressed, only the dark scorpion looked at the other party without any expression, and then said. The fire was first started in my house, and I had a secret letter from the Lord in my arms, which was opened, so I concluded that this person was the first to set fire to kill me, but I didn't expect that I liked to move when I was drunk, and there was a dozen iron boxes in the room, I didn't know why I got into the big box, and he ran to Mr. Zhang's room to tell the matter, saying that he had killed me by mistake, and he had to pretend to be on fire as a last resort, and was ready to resign overnight！’
