Chapter 171: Small Links

"What's this?"

Sun Wannian looked like he was trying his best to recall, and said,

"That was still a few years ago, the villain planned to open a business in Liaoyang Prefecture, but I heard that it was not easy to get there, and an acquaintance gave the villain an idea that he could make some friends to help, and this Ding Er met at that time. At that time, he really helped with the business......"

"Isn't there any other condition? Na Ding Er will not be busy with you in vain. ”

He Ruichang had already understood everything he had heard, so he asked bluntly.

Sun Wannian's expression looked a little embarrassed,

"My lord is really wise, although he did help me at that time, but then Ding Er pulled me into a gang called 'Bawangzhuang', and I don't know what it is, saying that as long as I am willing to help them do things, my benefits are indispensable, but where is the benefit......"

Speaking of this, Sun Wannian sighed, and suddenly remembered the matter of "Ding Er was killed", and hurriedly said,

"But my lord, the villain swears to the sky that he will change his evil ways in the future and stop doing anything that hurts the heavens and reason, please save the villain!"

It seems that this Sun Wannian has already decided that Ding Er's killing is aimed at him, so he is scared like this. Thinking of this, He Ruichang turned his head and set his eyes on Zong Jiyuan.

And Zong Jiyuan listened carefully all the time by the side, until he finished speaking, and secretly wondered, in this way, Sun Million should not be regarded as a very important member in the eyes of those people in the "Overlord Village", so it is not enough to use such a big battle to intimidate him, let alone because he came to kill Ding Er, a member of the group who joined the gang earlier than him. In this way, it seems that Ding Er made some mistake in the first place and was killed by the mysterious "Overlord Village", and at the same time, he had to use their corpses to warn someone else......

If that's the case, there must be other members of Overlord Village in this Sand Ridge Town, at least, that person or those people are still in this townβ€”

The more he thought about it, the more complicated he felt, Zong Jiyuan simply didn't think about it first, because Master He was already asking for his opinion, so he quickly sorted out his thoughts and said,

"Elder Sun, you can rest assured, as long as you really don't do evil in the future and live your life as you should, you can guarantee that your Sun family will be safe and sound."

"Really, thank you, sir, thank you for this official......"

Sun Wannian hurriedly thanked him.

Seeing that there could be no progress in this case immediately, He Ruichang decided to take this matter down first, and then investigate it later, so he said to Sun Wannian,

"Sun Lichang, these five corpses have to be handed over to you to find someone to dispose of, firstly, no matter what, you and Ding Er are also acquaintances, and secondly, you are still the local governor, you should take this responsibility for both public and private."

"The villain understands, and the villain must handle this matter well."

While wiping the cold sweat on his head, Sun Wannian nodded his head resignedly.

Seeing that the handling was almost done, Lord He got back into the car, and everyone got on the horse and left Shaling Town.

On the road, He Ruichang was still pondering, and Diao Saburo seemed to be thoughtful. Knowing that such a big case had happened, it was naturally impossible for everyone to just put it down, so Zong Jiyuan took the initiative to approach the window of the carriage and said,

"My lord, are you still thinking about the 'Five Murders' in Shaling Town?"

"yes,"

Hearing Zong Jiyuan come over and ask, He Ruichang put down the hand that was originally on his forehead and said,

"Ji Yuan, what do you think is going on in that case? Judging from Sun Wannian's frightened appearance, he seems to know something terrible, but when he asked, he didn't say anything, do you think what he said is credible? ”

"Actually, my lord, what Sun Wannian said is basically true,"

Zong Jiyuan smiled and said,

"After dinner last night, the students were worried that the Sun family would retaliate against the Tong family, so they went to the Sun house with Brother Wang Yu to investigate, and what they saw was basically the same as what he said, but it was not himself who made Sun Wannian make the decision not to retaliate, but his wife.

"So there is such a thing,"

When He Ruichang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and asked again,

"So, what about Ding Er? Did you see that? ”

"Naturally, I saw it, and I was taught a lesson by the two of us,"

Zong Jiyuan chuckled and said,

"That Ding Er and his four subordinates were driven out of the Sun family's compound by Mrs. Sun, and happened to have a head to head contact with the two of us who were about to leave from there, and that guy probably had nowhere to get out, so he provoked the two of us, and the student really wanted to teach him a lesson, so he beat them up with Brother Wang Yu......"

When she said this, Zong Jiyuan also made some "adaptations" slightly, but suddenly, a detail resurfaced in her mind, making her seem to understand something, and there was a pause between her words.

Hearing this, Diao Saburo suddenly realized, patted his head, and said,

"Oh——、 that's what happened! I said that on those five people, in addition to the fatal wounds, how can there be other scars, especially Ding Er's injuries, why do they look very familiar, it turns out that it is really Ji Yuan, you did it. ”

"So, after that, are you all leaving?"

He Ruichang asked again at this time.

Zong Jiyuan nodded and said,

"Yes, after that, we let Ding Er and the others go, and Brother Wang Yu and I also left there and returned to the inn. In my opinion, this 'Five Murders' is not a simple independent case, but just a series of conspiracies, one of the small links, as long as the final source can be investigated, then the truth of these cases will eventually be revealed. ”

"Oh......"

He Ruichang nodded his head and said,

"Alright, let's be patient and observe until we find the source."

"Students will do their best."

Speaking of this, Zong Jiyuan turned his head and looked at two pairs of eyes full of admiration-

It turned out that He Qingyu and Wang Yu had been listening to the conversation between the two of them all along, and when they saw her, they simultaneously showed an appreciative smile, which made Zong Jiyuan cry and laugh suddenly......

In this way, back to the mode of traveling around the county, at this time, this line has gradually gone around from the west to the south, but fortunately, during this time, the sky has been very beautiful, with a clear sky and a pleasant spring breeze as a companion, so that everyone's mood will soon relax, and then, another day passes.

This is the southern end of Liaodong County, and it is also the place with the largest farmland area and high grain yield.
