Song Yang didn't expect that after running for half an hour, he hadn't arrived at the place where the crime occurred.

It has been more than 20 miles from the town to the suburbs, and the head of the pan has not stopped yet, Song Yang couldn't help but ask: "Haven't you arrived yet?" ”

"There are still ten miles to go, and the adults and the third class of brothers have already arrived in the morning, so we have to hurry." Pantou replied while gasping.

Song Yang was speechless: "So far? ”

Pantou'er's face was full of chagrin: "Who said it wasn't!" If those people die three miles further south, it will not be our land, and how can there be this drudgery. ”

Running to the present, Pantou was panting and his hat was crooked, and Song Yang was also sweating profusely and complaining bitterly. Only the little catcher was fast, his face was as usual, his breath was long, his steps were light, and each step was a distance of one zhang, and it seemed that if it weren't for the two 'cumbersome', he could have run faster.

Although he didn't show any signs of exhaustion, Xiao Yu Kuai still wondered to the head of the pan and asked, "Where is the horse?" Where are the horses in the yamen? "He had just been transferred to his post two days ago, and he was still very vague about the situation in the local yamen.

Pantouer stretched out three fingers: "Little Yamen, there are three horses in total, one was ridden away by the eldest master, one was ridden by the fourth to the state capital to deliver the letter, and the last one was ...... Not a few years younger than me, it swayed on its own. Whoever wants to 'damage public property' should ride it. ”

Song Yang laughed when he heard it, but Xiao Yukuai sank his face: "There are only three official horses in Yanziping?" It is clearly written in the Nanli Law that the yamen at the town and county level are equipped with at least nine horses, but what about the other six horses? ”

The corners of Pantou'er's mouth twitched, ignoring him, and only said: "Hurry up, don't let the adults wait for a long time." ”

After running ten miles of farmland, the three of them were in the wilderness, and after crossing a mountain beam, Pantouer stretched out his hand and pointed to an inn-like house in the distance: "That's it!" ”

Xiao Zhukuai said before that there was something wrong, in fact, he, like Song Yang, was called out of the bed and rushed over, only knowing that something was wrong but not knowing what happened. At this moment, he looked at the house in front of him and narrowed his eyes: "In the wilderness, there are almost no people, and there are still people who open an inn here... Either annihilation or theft, I think it's more like a den of thieves. ”

Song Yang smiled: "It's an inn, there are no thieves, you can't go wrong." I also came here a few times when I was a kid. However, this shop is not for the living, it is a Yin family inn, a place for corpse chasers to settle down. "Nanli has a 'mountain stream barbarian', good at driving corpses, day and night, every time he comes out, he will find a place to stay, in the deep mountains and dense forests, there are often such Yin inns, not doing business for the living, only for the corpse for 'convenience'.

Pan Touer said: "Coincidentally, a foreigner passed by last night, and said that this is an inn, and went in to stay in a daze, but he was scared half to death on the spot, and ran to the town overnight to report to the official...... He had already been questioned, and when he entered the inn, the case should have just come out, and the blood on the ground had not yet coagulated, and was flowing everywhere. ”

As they spoke, the three of them ran a few steps quickly and came to the Yin Family Inn. The county magistrate of Yanziping had already arrived.

The county magistrate's surname is Zhou, he has no talent at all, and he is a completely confused official, but he also has one benefit: he usually has no official authority. earns the income of the imperial court, has the opportunity to deduct some public funds, and mixes around in a good way, and always smiles in peacetime. But this time there was a big case in the jurisdiction, he couldn't laugh anymore, glared at Song Yang and asked, "What about your uncle?" Why not? ”

"I went out and haven't come back yet."

"Be bold! The official must not punish him for the crime of leaving his post without permission. Mrs. Zhou was so angry that he scolded a few words before he was angry, and then reached out and patted Song Yang's shoulder: "You go in and test." If you can really find useful clues and help solve the case, this official will spare your uncle even if you will be punished. ”

"Don't, one by one, it's better for the eldest lord to figure it out, if I can really make meritorious contributions, you will reward me, as for the uncle, you should punish him if you always punish him." Song Yang smiled easily and turned to walk towards the house.

The layout of the Yin family stack is special, and it is divided into two entrances. The first entrance is empty and is only used as a place for sacrificing spirits, and there are no people and mortuaries, and the second entrance is divided into two floors, the upper floor is an ordinary big house, with beds and records, and it is a place for corpse chasers to rest; The lower level is a cellar covered with incense ashes, which is dedicated to storing corpses.

Song Yang strode into the Yin Family Inn, the room was clean and clean, and there were no victims, but the incense candles of the sacrifice, the faint smell of corpses, the thick blood, all kinds of smells were mixed together, and they came to the nose! Xiao Yukuai, who followed behind Song Yang and had been aggressive, exclaimed 'ouch' as soon as he stepped in, like a quail with an arrow, turned his head and fled and vomited.

Song Yang took out a box of green ointment from the small leather bag he was carrying on his waist and threw it to Xiao Zhukuai: "Rub some under your nose to get rid of the smell of corpses." Xiao Yu quickly used it as he said, only to feel a cool breath quickly wandering away along his nose, and the strange smell in the Yin family stack was immediately washed away a lot, from the mind to the heart and lungs.

Xiao Zhu quickly re-entered the Yin Family Inn, returned the ointment to Song Yang, thanked him, and then wondered, "Don't you use it yourself?" ”

Song Yang replied: "It's okay to use some ordinary errands. In such a big case, my nose may be useful, and I can't be caught by the smell of ointment. As he spoke, the two walked through the front hall and stepped into the second entrance, and as soon as they entered the room, the two of them gasped at the same time! Even though they knew that there was a bloody case here, and they were prepared, they were still frozen.

A stone house in Nuoda was shockingly dark red.

The floor, the walls, and the roof were all splashed with plasma. There were no bodies in the house, only broken bones and minced flesh...... Countless corpse parts were only the size of fists, scattered everywhere in a mess, and it was impossible to tell what part and which organ was, and it was impossible to tell how many people were martyred.

Song Yang's eyes turned, and he walked back and forth in the big house, and after a while, he rolled up his trouser legs and cuffs, walked to the corner of the big house, lifted the plank leading to the corpse cellar, and looked down.

The cellar was empty, and there was not a single thing left.

The corpse chasers were dead in a room, but the corpses they were carrying were not here...... Song Yang frowned, returned to the center of the big room, took out a pair of black scaly gloves from his bag, put them on, squatted down and began to gather the corpse pieces. Xiao Yu quickly endured his nausea and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Put the broken corpses together, verify the identity, and you have to know how many people are 'mixed' together." Song Yang's tone was calm: "That's what I did." ”

Xiao Yu quickly jumped out of the corners of his eyes, gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth, and finally walked into the scene ruthlessly, and he wanted to help Song Yang 'puzzle' together, Song Yang shook his head with a smile: "You don't need to help, this kind of thing is more convenient for one person, but it is easy for the two of them to make a mess, just wait outside." ”

In fact, from Master Zhou, Pan Tou'er, to ordinary officials, none of them were willing to spend a moment more in this room, and they all stayed outside the Yin Family Stack under the banner of 'looking for clues to the murderer'. Xiao Yu will not be blamed if he goes out quickly, but his surname is stubborn and he has a strong sense of responsibility, he shook his head when he heard this, and stopped helping Song Yang pick up the corpse, but he refused to go out.

After a while, the other servants searched all around the Yin Family Inn, but found nothing. Song Yang did a meticulous work, and he couldn't get the result for a while, the county magistrate was impatient, and he really didn't want to delay any longer in this unlucky place, so he said, 'There are still many officials in the town who need to be dealt with by the official', and he wants to go back first.

There is no point in many officials staying here, and they will go home with the eldest master, but at least they have to leave an errand official to accompany Song Yang, and the head of the pan is hesitant to leave who is good, and the little catcher quickly volunteered, which made the head of the pan worry a lot.

There was a lot of noise for a while, and the county lord sighed and led the team back to Yanziping.

According to the etiquette of the official office, Xiao Yu quickly sent away a group of colleagues, and when he returned to the big house where the case occurred, his face was full of disdain: "I don't understand what the big man is worried about, this kind of case has no head and no brains, and it is unavoidable, and it has nothing to do with the effectiveness of local governance." When the imperial court considers the performance of local officials, it will not include such cases. ”

Song Yang did not delay his speech, and said casually: "It's about 'Shanxi Man', it's strange if the master doesn't worry." ”

Xiao Yu was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

Looking at the world, only 'Shanximan' is proficient in the way of driving corpses. All the corpse chasers are their clansmen, and the barbarians who know this secret art have no low status in the clan.

In the past 100 years, the Nanli court has sent troops to encircle and suppress many times, but the "Shanxi Man" is extremely brave and abnormal, and it is entrenched in the deep mountains, and it is always helpless. It was not until recent years that the imperial court changed from suppression to pacification, and they stopped making trouble.

After a few introductions, Song Yang paused for a moment and continued: "The corpse chasers who died here, a cursory look at it, there are always more than a dozen... With so many clansmen dying tragically, Shanximan will definitely make trouble. The headless murder case is not included in the consideration of political performance, but the pacification of the barbarians is not good, and it will definitely ruin the future of the county master. What's more...", his tone was slightly heavier: "If you can't find and hand over the murderer, Shanximan will not let go of Yanziping first." ”

Xiao Yu quickly rolled his eyes: "They dare!" Fight and fight, I'm dignified, can I still be afraid of a bunch of barbarians! "His complexion and appearance are really flattering, but his eyes are extremely smart and high-spirited.

Song Yang took a look at the sun and ignored this tasteless remark.

Xiao Yu quickly stared at the reckless mountain in the distance and said a few cruel words, with the meaning of 'If the barbarians come to attack, I will be enough alone'......
