In the nameless valley, Ye Xiaotian was dressed in cloth, standing in front of a car that had been emptied of goods, quietly observing the puddle of blood on the wheel. When he went to Luo Daheng's place, he was wearing a civilian robe, and on the way back to the county government after hearing the news, he met Zhou Bantou and his party who rushed to investigate the case, so he followed him directly.

The blood on the wheels had dried up, and a swarm of aconitum flies attached to it, and as soon as people moved around, they flew up in shock, and when they passed, they circled and fell.

The thieves also took the mules and horses away, presumably to carry the goods, but the corpses of their companions were left on the scene, and their lives were like mustard, and their lives were like mustard, but that's all.

Zhao Wenyuan looked up at the valley in front of him, sighed, and said to Ye Xiaotian sympathetically: "Brother Ye, you are really unlucky." The dispute between Gao and Li has just been resolved, and this kind of thing is happening again. This caravan only needs to go ten miles further to the Tongren Territory, but something happened here. ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly: "If you are unlucky, you will be unlucky, isn't half of your life unlucky." ”

Zhao Wenyuan asked, "What about the other half?" ”

Ye Xiaotian walked past him and replied, "Solve the bad luck." ”

Ye Xiaotian should have been responsible for the case of the judicial prison, but this case was not small, and it stands to reason that Xu Boyi should also come, but Xu Boyi refused to appear on the pretext that he had been on a hunger strike for many days and his body had not yet recovered, so Ye Xiaotian brought someone to the scene alone to investigate.

As for Zhao Yicheng, although he is not responsible for criminal cases, as a post man, he is also responsible for cooperating with the investigation of the affairs on the post road, and at the same time understanding the safety situation of the post road, it also helps him strengthen the affairs within the scope of the post station's responsibility, so he also came to the scene.

Zhou Bantou was standing on the side of the road, asking a question to a person who was still palpitating, Ye Xiaotian walked up to him, did not make a sound, just listened quietly. Investigation and questioning. People are experts, at least they understand much better than him, Ye Xiaotian has never done things that he doesn't know how to pretend to be an expert, and he has made face but suffered a big loss.

Zhou Bantou asked carefully for a while, nodded to the man, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground, his legs were still paralyzed.

It's a handlebar style, and when a handlebar style encounters a road robber, it's usually as long as you don't make a move to resist. Road robbers will not harm them, including guys, and the bandits will not harm them. It's not that the bandits have the virtue of a good life, but once these people are killed, no one is willing to run long distances, who will they rob next?

Zhou Bantou turned his head and saw Ye Xiaotian standing next to him, and hurriedly saluted him: "My lord." ”

Ye Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be formal. Did you ask clearly? ”

Zhou Bantou said: "Yes! This person said that they were men from the family of Lin Luyao Lin Yuan, Tongren County, and trafficked a batch of silk back to Tongren. When passing through here. A convoy came from the opposite side, and the two of them were crowded together, so that the movement slowed down. At this time, many bandits on the slopes on both sides suddenly jumped out of the pre-dug pit and shot with sharp arrows. Then he drew his sword and rushed into battle, robbed them of their goods, and kidnapped the forester, saying that he was asking for ransom. ”

Ye Xiaotian's eyes froze. said: "Another convoy coming on? That convoy is an accomplice of bandits? ”

Zhou Bantou shook his head and said, "Look, my lord, those two corpses are the oncoming convoy guards. ”

Ye Xiaotian looked at one with his back facing the sky. The deceased, who was hit by an arrow in his throat, took a deep breath and said, "Can you find out his identity?" ”

Zhou Bantou said: "The humble post has been carefully searched, and there is nothing on the deceased that can identify him. ”

"Don't you even have a 'pass'?"

Ye Xiaotian was just relieved, and then he showed a suspicious look when he landed.

Zhou Bantou said in a low voice: "My lord, there is no shortage of smugglers on this post road, how can smugglers apply for a place." At the same time, some people who are sending relatives and friends rarely apply for 'passing the office' because they are only walking between nearby counties and there are few checkpoints set up by the government.

These people who came over and the bandits who were in ambush on both sides had a big fight, hacking and killing several bandits, they had a total of eight knights, escorting a light car, and there were three corpses over there that were also theirs, so the identities of these people were suspicious, but they should have nothing to do with the bandits. ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded and said, "Draw pictures of these dead people and publicize them to see if anyone can recognize their identities." ”

Zhou Bantou replied "yes", and said: "The 'One Dragon' gang of bandits has always been active in nearby counties, but they rarely get such a big harvest like this time. You see, the potholes on the slopes on both sides of the hill were dug in advance, and it was difficult for people who passed by this post road to ensure that they were all chariots, and in order to prevent bandits and speed up trafficking, many merchants used mule and horse gangs.

In that case, even if a convoy on the opposite side blocked the road, the bandits lying in ambush on both sides of the road would not be able to prevent them from escaping in time, and at most they would intercept one and a half horses, and they would get very little. So the bandit will not adopt this method......"

Ye Xiaotian interrupted him and said, "What does this mean? ”

Zhou Bantou said: "I think that this gang of bandits must have been very clear when they stepped on the plate, and they knew very well the identity of the forester, the goods trafficked, the means of transportation used, and even the travel time. Therefore, they either have a mole, or someone has had very close contact with the forester and the group beforehand. ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded and said, "Although I have never done trafficking, I also understand that since the road is not quiet, when I will go on the road and when I will be sharp, I will not be determined too early in advance and leaked to others......

Zhou Bantou said happily: "Not bad! Therefore, the people they sent to step on the plate should have had close contact with them during the period when the post station or the forester and others left the post station. The Civilian Council conducts a detailed investigation of the people with whom they have come into contact during this time. ”

At this time, Zhao Wenyuan, who had already walked to their side, was also listening carefully, and nodded happily after listening to Zhou Bantou's words: "What Zhou Bantou said is very reasonable, and he deserves to be his husband." During the period between the post station and the departure from the post station, the business travel was endless, and if someone had contact with them, they would definitely not be able to hide it from others, and they should be able to get some clues. ”

Ye Xiaotian thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "You just said that there are eight knights on the opposite side, escorting a light car, a total of five of them have died here, and there are three people left plus the people or things in the car, since they fled in the direction of our county, where did they go?" ”

Zhou Bantou said: "I was about to say that no one in my county had ever seen them, and I didn't see their bodies on the road when I came. ”

Ye Xiaotian subconsciously looked at the reckless mountains and forests on both sides of the strait, and Zhou Bantou said: "The bandits stormed the guard outside the forester, the guards were killed and wounded, the surviving guys and the handlebar were also there, and only the three people from the opposite convoy and the car were missing. ”

Zhao Wenyuan said: "In this case, they should be taken away by the bandits just like the foresters." ”

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said, "No!" The bandits knew the details of the forester's exterior and wanted to tie him up as a meat ticket and extort a ransom. What did you do with kidnapping the other three? What noble status can the three guard knights have, worthy of their tying? ”

Zhou Bantou said: "Then, they were chased very quickly and fled up the mountain in a hurry!" ”

Ye Xiaotian looked at the reckless green mountains and pondered for a moment, and said: "Yesterday's new rain, there must be traces of cars and horses, go!" Follow the trail and search! ”

Zhao Wenyuan hurriedly stopped: "Ye Dianshi, this is too dangerous, in case those bandits haven't fled yet, wouldn't they be worried about their lives." It's better to wait for the people to be transferred to search the mountains again, and the official can also send the post guards to help you. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, they have already succeeded, they have made such a large amount of money, and they have tied up meat tickets, there is no reason not to go far and fly high." The official is looking for the missing people, not expecting them to provide useful information, but hoping that if they are not dead, they can save their lives in time. Weekly shift! ”

Zhou Bantou immediately straightened his waist and said loudly: "Humble duty!" ”

Ye Xiaotian stretched out his hand and grabbed a knife that was cut on the tattered carriage on the side, shook it twice, pulled out the knife and held it in his hand, and ordered in a deep voice: "Leave some people to clean up the scene, and the others follow me up the mountain!" ”

Hong Baichuan was sitting in the hall, sipping tea with taste, and the tycoon walked in with a bulging schoolbag on his shoulder.

Hong Baichuan frowned when he saw Deng, pretended to be a strict father, and said unhappily: "Stop!" Didn't you go to the carriage shop? Why did you go home so quickly. Tycoon, you are also grown up now, and you must have a long way to do things, what do you think of other people in the carriage and horse shop? ”

The tycoon was nervous when he saw his father, and swallowed and spitted: "Dad, I ......"

Hong Baichuan reprimanded: "Do you want to be tough again? The carriage and horse shop is also your business, and it is your big business, and no matter how profitable the grocery store is, it is not as good as running this carriage and horse shop. This is the foundation of your life, Dad's business will be yours sooner or later, but you have to be able to pick it up. How can you do three days of fishing and two days of drying nets like you are now? ”

The tycoon said: "Dad, it's not that I don't care about business, it's really that I don't have business today." The ...... of the goods contracted by our carriage and horse dealers"

Hong Baichuan was furious: "Bastard! I also learned to lie. Don't you know that you're a father? Dad's current business is all handed over to your carts and horses for trafficking, and there are at least three batches of goods totaling more than 20 trucks that have not been transported, you say there is no business? You stinky boy, are you solid if you don't fight for three days? ”

The tycoon stood there angrily, his neck stalked, and he stared at his father without speaking.

Hong Baichuan slammed the teacup and drank: "What's the matter, seven disagree with eight are not angry, Lao Tzu said that you are still wrong?" Do you want to get beaten again? ”

The tycoon strained his neck again, but still didn't speak, Hong Baichuan jumped up, and the father and son of the rivalry were on the bar again.
