"The villain is the town's land security, this is the first chief of this village, dare to ask the military master what is the matter with us?"

Under the gaze of everyone in the courtyard, a mustachioed man who was at the forefront of the few rich-looking men bowed to Li Yuntian, first reported his home, and then pointed to a fat middle-aged man with a big belly beside him and said, his words were full of doubts.

The bearded man is the land protector of the town where the owner of the gambling house is located, and like the head of the village, he is a local who helps the government, although he has no official rank, he has a certain amount of power in his hands, and is responsible for maintaining the daily affairs of the local area.

Li Yuntian has always been thoughtful, since he is going to investigate Yang Sanyu's whereabouts, he must follow the process of handling the case, so as not to be said to be bullying.

What is particularly important is that Li Yuntian wants to tell the local people and even the people of the Western Regions through the trial of this case that even if the case of King Zhong of the Ming Dynasty is judged, he must abide by the laws of the imperial court, so that the majesty of the imperial court can be invisibly highlighted.

"Do you remember that after the end of the Western Regions War, the imperial court once distributed a reward notice to find the traces of the Marquis of Chengning, and those who provided clues were rewarded, and those who deliberately concealed it were severely punished!" Li Yuntian put the sword back into the scabbard and looked at the mustachioed Dibao quietly.

"Back to the military master, of course the villain remembered this, the town also posted a notice at that time, and the chiefs of each village also went back to tell the villagers." The mustachioed Di Bao nodded when he heard this, and his eyes showed a look of doubt, and he didn't understand why Li Yuntian would mention this old matter.

"When the official passed through the town, he accidentally found the saber used by the Marquis of Cheng Ning, and according to the seller of the saber, he stole it from this family, so the official wants to investigate this case, and you should be a witness."

Li Yuntian raised the sword in his hand to the mustache and lightly pointed out the intention of calling them, and with the testimony of the ground security and others, the case could be confirmed.

"Is that so?" Mustache Jibao naturally knew Sander, a ruffian in the town, and looked at Sander in surprise and asked, he had also heard about Sander selling swords.

"The little money obsessed with the heart has done this shady deed, and he will definitely change his life in the future and never make mistakes again." With an embarrassed look on his face, Xander replied with a smirk.

"Does this sword have anything to do with you?" Mustache Dibao didn't believe in Sander at all, this guy talked like a fart, he cared about another thing, suppressed the shock in his heart and asked the emaciated middle-aged man in a deep voice, you must know that this is a big deal, Da Ming has never stopped looking for Yang Sanyu's whereabouts.

"Lord Dibao, the villain doesn't know about the sword, please let the villain call the shots." Seeing this, the emaciated middle-aged man hurriedly knelt down for the mustache Dibao, as if he had seen a savior, you must know that Dibao was a local after all, and his elbow must be turned in.

"This military master, this matter is very important, does the military master have evidence?" Sure enough, the mustachioed earth protector groaned when he heard this, and said to Li Yuntian.

The emaciated middle-aged man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and the nervous look on his face suddenly became soothing, Li Yuntian noticed this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer, feeling that the emaciated middle-aged man was too naïve, and the reason why the bearded man had just asked was not to protect him, but to know what the case had come to.

Obviously, Yang Sanyu's case is a royal case that the orthodox emperor is concerned about, and the mustache knows how powerful it is, and he wants to ask for trouble when he is full?

"This sword is the best evidence, this official can be sure that it is Cheng Ninghou's sword!" Li Yuntian stretched out the sword in his hand to the mustache and said quietly.

"This military master, this matter is not trivial, do you recognize that this is Cheng Ninghou's sword?" The mustache hesitated for a moment, and looked at Li Yuntian with some suspicion.

He knew the rank of the Xiaowu Army, Li Yuntian's rank was just a major, and he barely belonged to the middle-level military attache in the Xiaowu Army in the Turpan area, how could a small major stationed in Turpan determine the authenticity of this sword.

"You don't have to doubt this, this official has already asked people to go to Blackwater City to transfer troops, and then the guards of Blackwater City will prove to you that what this official said is true." Li Yuntian knew the thoughts of the mustache Jibao, he was afraid that he would be implicated after he made a mistake with the sword, so he smiled and comforted.

Hearing this, the mustache couldn't help but be stunned, his eyes showed a look of surprise, what Li Yuntian said turned out to be "transferring troops", this was the tone of the superior, and even the guards of Blackwater City were involved, which made him very surprised, and he vaguely realized that the major with a strange accent in front of him had a lot of background.

"Then everything will be Master Lao." Soon, the mustachioed ground guard made a choice, bowed to Li Yuntian and said, since this major was acting very strong, then he didn't mind waiting to see what Li Yuntian was going to do.

"What this official has to do next is very simple, since this saber was found from here, then he will definitely be able to find Cheng Ninghou's other items."

Since Li Yuntian came here, he naturally didn't plan to return empty-handed, he smiled at the mustache and looked at the emaciated middle-aged man, "If this official searches out Cheng Ninghou's other belongings from your home, what else do you have to say?" ”

"The military master laughed, how could there be those things in the villain's house." The emaciated middle-aged man's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and then he said to Li Yuntian with a smile, more beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"This official hopes that you have been wronged, otherwise you know, things will become very troublesome." Li Yuntian looked at the emaciated middle-aged man with sweat on his forehead, and proved from his reaction that his guess was correct, the emaciated middle-aged man's home must have hidden Yang Sanyu's belongings, so he said expressionlessly.

"Master Mingjian, the villain was indeed wronged." The emaciated middle-aged man hurriedly wiped the sweat on his face and opened his mouth to shout injustice.

"As you said before, you're just a farmer in the country, so there's no place to hide things, and they're so valuable."

Hearing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, staring at the emaciated middle-aged man and said, "Therefore, you will definitely hide those things in a place where you think they are safe and can be seen at the same time, so that you will feel at ease." ”

As he spoke, Li Yuntian looked at the emaciated middle-aged man walking around the courtyard, and said as he walked, "According to this official, this courtyard is indeed an excellent place to hide things, and it will definitely be solid to see it every day." ”

The emaciated middle-aged man's eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Yuntian's body, and after hearing Li Yuntian's words, the look on his face became even more ugly, and his expression became more and more nervous.

"This official is very curious, what kind of mood it is for you to have such a large fortune in the past ten years and not be able to use it, the feeling of being able to only take out that sword and wipe it in the dead of night must be very lonely!"

Li Yuntian saw the emaciated middle-aged man looking at him nervously, a subtle smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he noticed the change in the emaciated middle-aged man's expression as he walked, and deliberately stimulated the emaciated middle-aged man with words, "Maybe you are thinking that after this period of time, you will be able to use that wealth to fly away and enjoy happiness, but it is a pity that you have met this official's good wishes can only come to naught." ”

The emaciated middle-aged man's eyes showed a frightened look when he heard this, and his body couldn't help but tremble because of fear, and every time Li Yuntian took a step in the courtyard, it was like poking a knife in his heart.

"This official is giving you one last chance now, does this sword have anything to do with you? Do you have any belongings in your home? After walking around the courtyard, Li Yuntian stopped and said to the emaciated middle-aged man with a serious expression that as long as the criminal was truly repentant, he had always been willing to give the other party a chance.

"Master Jun, that sword and the little ...... The small ones have nothing to do with it, and the small ones don't have ...... There is no item you are talking about. The emaciated middle-aged man was already sweating profusely at this time, and stammered, although the weather was still very cold, but the clothes on his body were already wet with sweat.

"Since that's the case, then this official has to do business." Li Yuntian shook his head with some regret when he heard this, he had already given the emaciated middle-aged man a chance, but it was a pity that he didn't know how to cherish it, and then said to the owner of the gambling house who was standing aside and watching the excitement, "Call your people in." ”

When the owner of the gambling house heard this, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called his men into the courtyard, each carrying a tool for digging.

Seeing this situation, the emaciated middle-aged man's body suddenly tensed, his face was full of shock, and he stared at the excavation tools carried by the gambling house owner's men.

"Listen, dig up this place for the official, and if you dig up what the official needs, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver per person." Under the stunned gaze of the emaciated middle-aged man, Li Yuntian walked to a vegetable patch in the courtyard and said in a deep voice to the men of the gambling house owner.

"Ten taels?" Hearing this, the people at the scene suddenly stirred, you must know that ten taels of silver in the Western Regions is a huge amount of money.

The owner of the gambling house and the mustachioed landlord were also stunned, no one thought that Li Yuntian would have such a big hand, and it would be nearly a hundred taels of silver as soon as he made a move.

Hearing this, the gambling house owner's subordinates suddenly became excited, brandished their hoes, shovels and other tools and dug up the vegetable patch in a hurry.

"You can't do this, our family still expects the vegetables from this vegetable field to eat, if you destroy what we will eat in the future."

At this time, a middle-aged woman in her forties rushed out of the queue of emaciated middle-aged people's families, who looked like the wife of an emaciated middle-aged man, ran to the vegetable field and sat on the ground, patted her legs and howled, "Bullying has reached the door, is there any reason for this, it is clear that we will not live!" ”

With the howl of the middle-aged woman, the people who stretched their necks against the wall and stood on the side of the roof to watch the excitement suddenly became commotion, they didn't believe that the emaciated middle-aged man would do what Li Yuntian said, so they all expressed sympathy for the middle-aged woman's plight, and invisibly thought that the middle-aged woman's family had been harassed by Li Yuntian.

Seeing this, the corners of Li Yuntian's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, since the middle-aged woman had such a big reaction, then it seemed that he had guessed correctly from the thin middle-aged man's face reaction just now, there was really something wrong with this vegetable patch.
