As the woman who saved Ding said, Uncle Nine has been preparing for more than half a year, and he is looking forward to these things coming in handy every day, where would he be afraid of interrogation? Just as Liu Tie and Wei Wencheng were hesitating, someone came to report again, fearing that there would be dozens of hoof prints, so they went in the direction of Jurong.

Liu Tie and Wei Wencheng listened, and hurriedly left more than a dozen people to guard this village, ordered to ride together, and chased all the way to Jurong.

Because in the face of such a small village, there is nothing to investigate, especially the accompanying Ying Tianfu catcher whispered to Liu Tie, he has come to this village to investigate the case, and the back of the village is the cemetery. And Ah Hua's family at least has the ancestral grave that can be traced back to Hongwu Nian, so it is really a delay to ask more, especially now that they are not seeing people.

It was already very prudent to leave a dozen soldiers to guard it.

And such a small number of manpower, it is impossible to extinguish the fire that followed, and these soldiers are not from the water dragon team, they are not good at fighting fires and have little courage to join the fire, the most magnificent house in the village burned, which was the property of the ninth uncle, and even the tiled house on the side was also on fire.

The villagers hurriedly went to put out the fire, Ah Qi, who was usually trained the most by the ninth uncle, rushed in very eagerly put on the wet quilt on the bed, but he never came out, when the fire was extinguished, people found two corpses in the ruins of the house, although it was charred black, according to the body size, it was Ah Qi and the ninth uncle.

Liu Tie and Wei Wencheng rode horses before dawn and returned with forty or fifty horsemen, not because they knew that there was a fire in the village, nor did he see the fire, but on the way Liu Tie thought of a question, he asked Wei Wencheng: "Senior brother went to the village first, have you ever heard a dog barking?" ”

Strangers wait to enter the village. If the dog does not bark or pounce and bite, for the era when there is no animal protection organization, such a dog will probably have no other way out than to become human meat. Raising a dog is to take care of the home, strangers come to bark and don't bark, what are you raising for?

Wei Wen faintly felt that something was wrong, and when Liu Tie mentioned this, he couldn't help but scold, but asked Xie Yucheng to take people and Wang Ji's staff, Jinyiwei's thousands of households all the way to Jurong. He and Liu Tie rushed back with people on horseback, but when they arrived at the entrance of the village, Uncle Jiu's house was in ruins, and even the smoke was almost gone.

And when they began to interrogate Ah Hua and other villagers, they realized how wrong they had been: "Uncle Ah Qi's family moved here the year before last. The second grandfather is a distant nephew; Uncle Jiu heard that he was originally a strategist for a big official, but he couldn't do it anymore when he was old. The magistrate gave him money. Teach him to return to his hometown, we don't know it in my generation, and we only know it when we hear the second princess talk about it...... Uncle Nine returned here half a year ago, and his hands were very generous, and he built a good mansion as soon as he came......

When Liu Tie and the others asked about the second princess, they found that the tiled house that had been burned down on the edge of the ninth uncle's mansion. is the family of the second prince and Ah Qi, and none of them survived, including Ah Qi's two younger brothers. At this time, if you don't think there is a problem, Liu Tie and Wei Wencheng can probably go and buy a piece of tofu. Hit your head and die.

"You don't have a dog in your village?"

"Yes, how come there are twenty or thirty! Uncle Jiu's mule was lost, and he borrowed a dog with everyone to find the mule last night...... Alas, if Uncle Nine's fierce guards didn't take the dog to find the mule, according to their extraordinary skills, I'm afraid that Uncle Nine wouldn't just go! The villagers said that they had received a lot of benefits from Uncle Nine on weekdays, but they were quite reluctant to let Uncle Nine die.

Liu Tie gritted his teeth and asked, "Who else in the village came to settle down around the same time as Uncle Nine or Ah Qi?" ”

Everyone shook their heads one after another, if it weren't for Wei Wencheng's ruthlessness, he said in a deep voice: "At present, Uncle Jiu and Ah Qi are colluding with the Warat people to assassinate the court officials!" If you can't find out what to do, the whole village will have to take responsibility! "I'm afraid the villagers won't remember that there is a small land temple in the west of the village, and half a year ago, the old temple was almost finished, so he recruited his female disciple to be the host.

The so-called temple, pitifully small, the main hall is placed with a statue of the land lord, there are two wings on the side, one is where the incense and candles are stacked, and the other is the wing room where the temple is staying, at this time the people have gone to the room, the room is extremely clean, not a single piece of clothing is left, and no one knows when the female temple Zhu left, who will have nothing to do with the land temple? It's not a send-off Guanyin.

This is simply a headless public case.

Liu Tie's tears are oozing out, this is the foot of the dead, looking at this arrangement, I'm afraid Ding Yi is more than lucky. However, Wei Wencheng, who had always been vicious to him and had no good words, punched him in the chest and comforted him: "What the hell are you doing?" Sir is fine! Thousands of troops and horses can't hurt Ah Pong Rakshasa , can they still fold in this broken village? Cheer up! ”

Hearing what he said, Liu Tie gritted his teeth and nodded, and asked those villagers, do you know where Uncle Nine went to search for mules? Everyone is at a loss, except for Ah Qi and Uncle Jiu and the nursing home of the mule searcher, everyone else is a native, what knowledge can they have? If you ask them where Zhou Lang washed the horses during the legend of Eastern Wu, they can still talk about it, and ask about this serious matter, if they can have a charter, they can still nest in this village?

In the end, it was Ah Huana's father, who had gone up the mountain to collect medicine, pointed in the direction and said: "What the old man said, I don't know anything about it, cough cough, but if the mule is lost, I am afraid that it will run to the mountains, so I have to take the dog to find it." Liu Tie listened, and he didn't have time to be polite to him at all, so he taught him to point to the direction of the mountain, lit a torch, and together with Wei Wencheng, led dozens of horses and ran over.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they faintly smelled blood, Wei Wencheng and Liu Tie were worried, and they didn't even want to say a word. Luckily, I followed the smell of blood and lit a torch, but it was a killed dog.

On the mountain road, there were more than 20 killed and discarded dogs, but there was not a single figure to be seen.

All the way to the top of the mountain, the mountain wind was cold, and I never saw the nine uncles' guards, nor did I see Ding Yi, in short, let alone people, I didn't even see the corpse.

"W-What's going on?" Liu Tie was really a little out of ideas, and couldn't help but ask Wei Wencheng.

Wei Wencheng shook his head, did not speak, beckoned his subordinates behind him to come over, and gave him a few words, and the subordinates took a few people and drove down the mountain again, and after a while of panting and ran back, and said to Wei Wencheng: "Indeed, as the adults said, there are traces of lurking on both sides of the road up the mountain, I am afraid that someone really guarded the mountain road." After a while, someone came to report, "There is a smell of urine in the field by the stream, whether it is a human or an animal, it must have just there before leaving." ”

"Search carefully, Sir should be on the mountain!" Wei Wencheng loudly assigned his men, and sent several horses down the stream to chase and see if he could find the boat. He even kicked the depressed Liu Tie, "Mr. is on this mountain!" Look for! ”

"You fucking know shit!" Liu Tie suddenly became frantic and yelled at Wei Wencheng: "I don't know if Mr. ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped by Wei Wencheng, and slapped the rest of the words back into his stomach, only to hear Wei Wencheng carry his chest and say: "Mr. is on this mountain, I just fucking know." Did you hear that? I just know, are you looking for it? ”

Liu Tie broke away from Wei Wencheng's hand, wiped his eyes, and joined the search team, looking at his twitching back, Wei Wencheng sighed, shook his head, and still didn't say anything. Because he knows that it is wrong to say anything now. If the other party succeeds, then the people he sent to search for traces up and down will probably not gain anything, that is no longer something he can handle, what he can do is to search this small mountain thoroughly to see if he can find any secret marks left by Ding Yi, or the clues left by these people who set up the bureau.

Dozens of big men searched the mountains with fire, and those killers did not dare to light torches, did not dare to alarm the mountains and forests, afraid of attracting attention, Wei Wencheng and Liu Tie brought these people, they were eager to make as loud as possible, and even shouted loudly, "Mr. Rongcheng!" The birds and beasts in this mountain forest were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

In this toss, someone finally noticed that something was wrong with the entrance of the cave, because a few small beasts ran to the mouth of the cave, but turned away, and seemed to have their uncomfortable smell somewhere. So those people approached with torches, sniffed carefully, and asked people to invite Wei Wencheng and Liu Tie to come over.

"It smells like realgar! Senior brother, they are right, it is the taste of realgar! Liu Tie approached, excited like a child, or rather, he was originally a teenager, "Senior brother, Mr. is inside!" ”

Wei Wencheng held him down and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. came out, is there a realgar on his body?" ”

"This ...... I'm afraid there isn'......" Liu Tie hesitated.

"So what are you happy about? Calm down. ”

It took her more than half a year to prepare, and it was night again, and the camouflage that covered the entrance of the cave, if it weren't for the faint smell of realgar, she really walked by the side, and she wouldn't have noticed that there was a hole here. However, with the guidance of realgar flavor, it didn't take much effort to find the entrance to the cave.

The torch instantly illuminated this small cave, watching Ding Yiyou soaking in the hot spring there, Liu Tie, who was so excited, was about to make a sound, but Wei Wencheng covered his mouth, and turned around and made a silent gesture to the people outside, signaling everyone to exit the cave.

"What kind of assassin is he, can An Neng move half a hair of Mr.?" Wei Wencheng said to those who went up the mountain with them with a low chuckle outside the cave, the face that didn't smile first on weekdays came back again, "No, don't kill or bury, the dog will be killed first, those assassins are scared...... Hehe, but Mr. is tired, and finally fell asleep, so tell everyone to be quiet, don't make noise about his old man. Only Liu Tie, who was standing beside him, knew that Wei Wencheng was holding his hand like an iron tong, and it hurt so much that he couldn't say a word. (To be continued......)
