"Thank you, Brother Wang."

Zong Jiyuan also chuckled and picked up these locked women together with Diao Saburo.

When he came to the hall in the middle of the house, he told the officer beside him to escort the chief steward out, lock him up first, and then turn back to see the man who had just been rescued.

Although it is said that they can see the light of day again, after all, they have suffered a lot and suffered a lot of fright, and these women still look a little frightened. Zong Ji Yuan asked them to sit down first comfortingly, and counted them again, a total of twenty-three people.

Only at this time did he dare to relax the nerves that had been crumbling.

Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo were busy assigning people, first gathering the Zhuang Ding servants in the villa in a courtyard, and then finding a suitable room for the victims to rest there temporarily, while the other servants were assigned to search everywhere to see if there was anything else worth noting.

Just as the rescued women came out of the gloomy house one after another, and followed the servants to the arranged place to rest, Li Shunfeng's wife rushed to the door, watched and searched one by one, until the last one left, she cried out in despair,

"Where's Satsuki, where is she?!"

"Sister-in-law!"

Wang Yuying, who was following her, went over to support her and persuaded,

"Don't worry, little brother, I will definitely find Xiaoyue."

"But, but she ......"

Li Shunfeng's wife was so anxious that she couldn't seem to listen to any words, and grabbed him by the placket,

"She's only fifteen...... Why not here, where is she ......?"

Seeing this scene, Zong Jiyuan rushed over from behind, raised his hand to caress the back of her heart, and the woman who was so anxious that she was almost crazy fell down softly.

Wang Yu hurriedly picked her up in the crook of his arm and looked at Zong Jiyuan.

Knowing the question in the other party's eyes, Zong Jiyuan smiled slightly,

"Don't worry, I just lit her sleeping hole and calmed her down."

"Oh......"

Wang Yu thought and said,

"Can I inform Brother Li now and ask him to take my sister-in-law back?"

"That's fine, but don't forget to sign and make a pledge."

Knowing that this is human nature, Zong Jiyuan nodded and agreed.

Seeing that the arrangements were almost complete, Diao Saburo sent someone to ride a fast horse back to Liaodong County and asked Lord He for instructions on how to deal with the aftermath.

At this time, an errand came to report,

"Master, Third Brother Diao, we found a woman who hanged herself in a small building in the back garden!"

"A woman?"

Having almost guessed who it would be, Zong Jiyuan couldn't help but sneer,

"Third brother, let's go take a look."

"Okay."

As soon as the group arrived at the small building that the servants had mentioned, they went directly to the second floor, and when they walked into the door, they saw that there was a woman hanging on the beam.

It can be seen from the dress that this person is the second lady of Hu Fu, but for the sake of safety, Zong Jiyuan still turned his questioning gaze to Wang Yu beside him.

Wang Yu also understood, stepped forward and raised his hand to pry the woman's long hair hanging down, and looked at it.

"That's right, this is Mrs. Hu."

"yes, that's good, I finally didn't let her escape."

Diao Saburo breathed a long sigh of relief, and ordered the servants on both sides to put down his body for the time being, carry it downstairs and place it in a proper place.

After putting it away, Zong Jiyuan came to the side of Mrs. Hu and carefully examined the strangulation marks on her neck and other places before leaving.

In the early afternoon, Lord He arrived in a carriage with Mr. Ye and several attachés, and Zong Jiyuan and Diao Saburo welcomed the adults into the village, and came to the lobby temporarily set up in the main hall and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, Lord He cast his eyes on Zong Jiyuan,

"Ji Yuan, after getting the news, I was so scared that the official broke out in a cold sweat, how dare you sneak in alone, how dangerous it must be."

"I'm worried about you, sir,"

Zong Jiyuan tried his best to say in an understated tone, comforting,

"In fact, the students were able to sneak here by chance, and when these gangsters found out, the third brother Diao arrived in time with the brothers, so the students didn't encounter much risk."

"Besides,"

Diao Saburo saw her alone in the crowd, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to change the topic.

"My lord, at this stage of the case, it can be regarded as clear. It was the owner of Fengming Villa, who dreamed of it, and colluded with the second lady of the Hu Mansion to rob women, and then abducted and sold them to other places in other places. We have just rescued twenty-four captive women from the backyard. ”

"Oh, what about the two main culprits?"

Lord He asked.

Diao Saburo sighed and said,

"Na Ming Qimeng has fled and is still missing, and that Mrs. Hu hanged herself in a small building in the back garden, and her body was parked there."

"What, dead?"

Lord He was stunned for a moment, and immediately moved his gaze to the servant beside him.

Mr. Ye immediately understood, and immediately stood up and said,

"In that case, take me to see it."

"Okay."

Two of the guards agreed and led him to the body.

At this time, there were only three people left in front of the hall, Master He, Zong Jiyuan, and Diao Saburo.

After being silent for a while, He Ruichang looked at the two right-hand men beside him and asked in a deep voice,

"According to the two of you, is this case over?"

"What ...... this?"

The two men questioned looked at each other, both with some hesitation on their faces.

In fact, in Zong Jiyuan's heart, he felt that he was a newcomer in the county government after all, and he was very young, although in some cases, as in this case, he had to take action, but he didn't want to rush to the front of everything and look great everywhere, so he paused slightly and stopped talking.

Looking at them one by one, He Ruichang couldn't help but smile and said,

"There are no outsiders here, so if you have anything to say, just say it."

"So, sir......"

Because he felt that some things were indeed good to say, Zong Jiyuan thought about it and said,

"According to the students, this case is indeed not over. First of all, judging from the absconding Ming Qimeng, he definitely didn't just collude with Madame Hu, at least there were other accomplices; As for the death of Mrs. Hu, the student just took a rough look at it, and from the scars, it was shown that nine times out of ten, she was not a suicide, but should have been strangled to death by someone, and then disguised as that. ”

"Oh? That's right......"

He Ruichang thought about it and nodded,

"Who the hell would do it?"

"Is it a dream? Because he thought she was a burden, he simply strangled her. ”

Diao Saburo asked guessingly.
