The two of them stood on the steps at the gate, watching Zheng Youyi's back gradually move away, Zong Jiyuan's brows couldn't help but wrinkle again,

"Murder? It happened again, and it happened one after the other. ”

"Yes, fortunately, it didn't happen in our Liaodong County, otherwise some of our brothers would be busy."

Diao Saburo said with a very happy tone and emotion.

Hearing his words, Zong Jiyuan glanced back at him, and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile and said,

"Third brother, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, in this matter, it's often what you're afraid of, after you say so, it's hard for our side to really be at peace."

"Is that really the case?"

Diao Saburo immediately jokingly covered his mouth and said continuously,

"Then when I didn't say it, I didn't say it, I didn't say it......"

"Besides, seriously,"

Seeing that he looked like two people compared to when he usually handled cases, Zong Jiyuan interrupted the "mantra" he was chanting and said,

"Little brother, I always feel that this case in Anping County has some connection with our county, but it is not easy to ......ask more for no reason."

"yes,"

Diao Saburo nodded in agreement,

"After all, each is in charge of its own location, and it can't interfere too much in the affairs of neighboring counties. Oh, they're already far away, let's go inside. ”

"Okay."

As the two of them spoke, they turned around and were about to walk into the courtyard of the county government.

But at that moment, I heard the sound of hurried, running footsteps in the distance, and then I heard someone shouting,

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! It's not good, it's dead! ”

"What?"

Suddenly hearing the word "human life", Zong Jiyuan only felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something, and he quickly retracted the steps he was taking, turned around, and looked at the person who ran over from a distance.

Of course, Diao Saburo also heard the words of the visitor clearly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head,

"It's really called the master to say, what I'm afraid of will really come......"

"Who's to say it isn't."

I don't know if he was complaining or out of helplessness, Zong Jiyuan also shook his head lightly, took a step out, stared at the man who stumbled in front of him, and asked,

"What the hell is going on?"

"Oh, Diao Catcher, Grandmaster!"

Not to mention, the person who came seemed to be very familiar with these people in the yamen, and when he saw the two of them, he hurriedly said,

"This, I don't know what's going on, early in the morning, there was a person who didn't know where he came from was killed, and he was lying in my field, you two said, I never recruited anyone, I didn't mess with anyone, who wants to do this?! Isn't it my life! ”

It is no wonder that this person is in a hurry, according to the "Great Qing Law", the place where the murder occurred, if there is a master's land, then the owner of the field must also be held responsible, so there are often people who move the bones to other places without authorization in order not to be implicated, and even some people simply bury them on the spot and do not report them.

However, the person in front of him did not hide it because of this, and even took the initiative to report the case, just because of this, Zong Jiyuan had some good feelings about him, and stepped forward to comfort,

"This big brother, don't be nervous, if this matter really has nothing to do with you, we will naturally not be embarrassed for you. Come on, come with us inside, and tell us what's going on. ”

"Oh, okay, thank you, master."

Obviously, the temperature was still a little cold at this time, but this person was tired and sweaty because of running all the way, Zong Jiyuan's words made him a little more stable, so he raised his hand to wipe a handful of sweat, followed the two of them to the gate, and then said,

"The villain's name is Yan Dacheng, and he lives in the riverside fort in the northeast corner of the city, and my wife went to the field early this morning, and saw a person lying there. At that time, my wife was so scared that she almost fainted, and when the villain saw it, he thought, "I have to report to the official anyway," so I hurriedly ran here...... I'm so tired......"

"Oh? Let me ask you, have you ever touched the deceased since you found out? ”

When Zong Jiyuan heard this, he immediately asked.

That Yan Dacheng waved his hands again and again,

"Ouch, we don't even dare to look at it again, where do we dare to move, but, before coming, the villain has asked the neighbors to help watch a little, and no one should move."

"Great, you're doing a good job,"

Zong Ji Yuan nodded at him and said,

"You sit here for a while, and we'll take care of it in a moment."

"Okay, just ask the master and Diao Zhutou to be the villain's master."

Yan Dacheng sat down on the bench next to him, stroking his chest, still gasping for breath.

Zong Jiyuan turned his head and said to Diao Saburo,

"Third brother, you go find a few brothers to come here and make preparations here, and I will go and talk to the adults."

"Okay, you go, I'll leave it here."

Diao Saburo nodded and agreed, and went to arrange.

Zong Jiyuan walked quickly to the second hall, first asked Lord He for peace, and then told him about the murder, He Ruichang listened, and his face was also a little helpless,

"There's really no way, so you can only work hard for you and San Lang to go to the scene to check it out."

"Don't worry, the students will rush over."

After greeting the adults, Zong Jiyuan returned to his room, took a thicker coat and put it on, and then returned to the door again.

At this time, Diao Saburo had already called six messengers, assembled, and led the horses out to wait in front of the door, and when they saw her come out, they got on the horses one after another, and also prepared one for Yan Dacheng, so they rushed to the place where the crime occurred.

Located in the northeast of the city, Yanhebao is not too small a village, and because it is relatively close to the county seat, there are many passers-by who come and go.

As soon as everyone entered the village, they could see where the crime occurred without Yan Dacheng leading the way, because it was already full of villagers watching the excitement. Diao Saburo saw it, so he had to signal to Lu Hong beside him, Lu Hong nodded, and urged him to step forward,

"Folks, get out of the way! Everyone, please let us go, we are the officials of Liaodong County, and we are here to handle the case! Hey——、 it's all shiny! ”

While shouting and urging the horse to move forward slowly, the villagers who were watching in front heard his voice, and they all retreated to both sides, and a human alley was suddenly formed in the crowd, so that everyone could get close to the place where Yan Dacheng pointed to the crime.

When they came closer, everyone jumped off their horses, Zong Jiyuan first looked around, and then observed the environment in the four corners, and his heart couldn't help but move, and after thinking about it, he turned his head and asked,

"Where is the body you found?"
