"This underground is bulging, shouldn't it be those disaster relief silver?"

"It's not disaster relief money buried here, it's people." Yan Su looked at Gu Changfeng after asking: "It's the people who were lost in the temple in the mouth of the fake monk, and the people who were rumored to be missing." ”

"It's all human!" Even Gu Yunfei, a young general who had been on the battlefield, couldn't help but tremble in his heart after hearing Yan Suwen's words: "In such a big place, how many people have to be buried here." ”

"I'm afraid that those who disappeared for no reason will all be buried under here. If we had previously deduced that in the city, the cause of the loss of disaster relief by the imperial court was conspired by the county magistrate of Gaoyi County, the mayor of Wuliu Town, and Zong Li, the owner of the Xinyue Inn, then the designed route should be like this. ”

Yan Suwen stretched out his hand and drew on the wall.

"This is the Wei River, this is the place where the shipwreck is, and this is the home of the mayor of Wuliu Town. As the main person in charge of the local disaster relief, the county magistrate of Gaoyi County will definitely know the exact time when the imperial court's disaster relief silver will be transported to Wuliu Town, and he only needs to notify the mayor of Wuliu Town to place fishing nets in the pre-prepared place. That's about what it looks like. ”

Yan Suwen circled the wall to draw the general shape of the fishing net.

When the official ship carrying the disaster relief silver arrived in Wuliu Town, those who had been bribed by the Gaoyi County Decree in advance began to operate. Because we didn't see the sunken official ship, we don't know what they did on board, but what we can know is that the official ship did sink, and the silver on the ship did sink to the bottom of the water and then disappeared. ”

"Madame means that the silver was actually caught in these fishing nets."

"That's right, it's caught in a fishing net, which explains why there are traces of aquatic weeds on the box, and there are broken fishing nets in this place. Because these official silvers were salvaged in a very urgent situation, and then transported to this place in a hurry. As for this secret room, it should have existed a long time ago, but it was artificially added with another wall later. According to the fake monk, the dilapidated Guanyin Temple is not a matter of one or two years, it is only after the flood that the people of the government came forward and recruited some fake monks to learn and chant in the temple. There are only two official mansions, Guangping County or Gaoyi County. This disaster relief matter is the responsibility of the Gaoyi County Order, and these fake monks, I am afraid that they were also brought over by the Gaoyi County Order. ”

"Is it to let these fake monks help him guard these official silver? That's not right. If it's for embezzlement, no one is better. ”

"According to common sense, it is. But in a dilapidated temple, there is always a group of people carrying boxes in and out, which attracts people's attention, isn't it? If this group of people were replaced by groups of people wearing monk's robes, and this was a dilapidated monastery renovation, wouldn't it be much more normal? ”

"It seems to be much more normal." Gu Yunfei nodded: "Then where did this official silver go?" Has it been divided by these three people? ”

"If you're asking me, I'd say, not yet. I am afraid that this batch of silver is still in the hands of the county magistrate of Gaoyi County, even if it is divided, it is the small head who divides it, not the big one. The killing of the mayor of Wuliu Town and the owner of the Xinyue Inn is very likely related to the batch of disaster relief silver that has not yet been divided. ”

"Even if we know that this matter was done by the county order of Gaoyi County, there is no evidence now."

"Just because there is no evidence now does not mean that there will be no evidence in the future. Right now, the most important thing is to dig out the corpses from the ground first. The corpse was found in the Guanyin Temple, this matter can be big or small, and with the beginning, it is good to use this to investigate from the beginning. This place is under the jurisdiction of Guangping County, and it just so happens that the county order of Guangping County is also in Wuliu Town, so it is better to leave this matter to him to deal with. ”

"This Guangping county order, I'm afraid I can't control the Gaoyi county order."

"The county order of Guangping County can't be controlled, but aren't you, General Gu Xiao, still standing here?"

"Me? It's okay to scare people like Guangping County Order, but if you really meet someone who is not afraid of dead pig soup with boiling water, I don't have any tricks. It's not that you're afraid of him, it's that you're in a hurry, and you can't take his head. According to me, don't use ink, just let our Jiang girl do it, and then let Shen Jiu go to fake the scene, and directly wipe the neck of this Gaoyi County magistrate. ”

"Shen Jiu can do it on the spot, but General Gu Xiao, as an official of the imperial court, knows the law and violates the law, and he still does it in front of Xiangye, do you think it's good?" Shen Jiu folded his hands and looked at Gu Yunfei.

"Isn't it good?" Gu Yunfei touched his nose: "It's not bad to deal with extraordinary people and use extraordinary methods." Anyway, God knows, you know, ghosts know, and the emperor and the people outside don't know. If they know, it must be your whistleblower surnamed Shen. ”

"Me?" Shen Jiu pointed at himself: "What am I suing?" Sue me for faking the scene? "Single

"Husband, let's go out, these two people are too naïve."

When leaving Guanyin Temple, Gu Yunfei also brought the fake monk back to Wuliu Town and placed him in the Xinyue Inn. Subsequently, the county commander of Guangping County transferred people from Guangping County to dig up the ground of the secret room overnight. Just as Yan Suwen guessed, the ground was full of corpses, some of which were decomposed, and some of which were still semi-decomposed, looking like a living hell on earth.

"It's Jun'er, that's my Jun'er." When the bodies were placed on the ground, there were bursts of cries from those who heard the news. "It's my Jun'er, my Jun'er has a bad brain, I'm afraid that he will get lost, so I sewed a mark on the corner of his clothes. You guys, that round image doesn't look like my family's favorite baked cakes. For so many years, I always thought that my family was handsome...... , who killed my handsome child. ”

"That's my father-in-law, and I recognize the shoes he wears. It was the first pair of shoes I made for him after we got married. The shoes are a little big, but Xianggong doesn't dislike them at all, and says that I can just sew two stitches in the back. I thought it was ugly, so I put something in the bottom of my shoe. It's still there. ”

"The one next to him is my brother. When I was a child, I was naughty and climbed a tree, and my brother rescued me. I was fine, but my brother was injured and had his leg cut by a branch, and then it rained and there was no medicine at home, so he had a scar on his leg. That scar, I'll remember until I die. That year, when there was a flood in the house, I had to eat or drink, and my brother was afraid that I would starve to death, so he stuffed everything in the house into me, saying that he was going up the mountain with someone to become a monk. Later, when the flood passed, I brought something to the temple to look for my brother, but they said...... But he said that my brother couldn't stand the suffering in the mountains and ran away with others. I didn't believe it at the time, how could a person who was so able to endure hardships as my brother could not endure the suffering on this mountain? Even if he can't stand it, he can go home and find me. Brother, my poor brother, who did you harm? ”

As one corpse after another was recognized, the scene also burst into tears. Of course, what can be identified are a small number of corpses that are not very seriously decomposed, and more are unrecognizable. Those people, because of the different locations where they were buried, had already turned into white bones, and their relatives, even if they came, could not identify them through those white bones.

The magistrate of Quang Binh County stood in the sun, but he still felt a chill down his spine.

With so many people, so many dead people, and all of them killed, this case, whether it is solved or not, will attract the attention of the higher-ups. He clutched his sleeve tightly and said to the person next to him, "Why do I think that my county order is the end of the day." ”

As the saying goes, Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Just when the county magistrate of Guangping County was worried about a corpse, two officials hurriedly ran over with something.

"My lord, my lord, we found a saber in the place where the body was buried, this saber is for the exclusive use of our yamen, and the knife is engraved with words."

"Gaoyi?"

"That's right, my lord, this saber is the unified saber of the Gaoyi County Government. My lord, look again, is there blood on this saber? And the blades of this saber are rolled up, and this rolled blade, don't you look like it can make those wounds? ”

"Oh my God, what do you mean by that?" The county magistrate of Guangping County was so frightened that his mouth trembled: "Do you want to tell me that there are so many people...... So many people were killed by the officials of Gaoyi County, right? These people are all death row prisoners, and this place is actually a place of execution. ”

"Your Excellency, you've seen the executioner choose the place in the secret room."

"What's the other thing?"

"Silver, silver for white flowers." Another catcher had a piece of silver still stained with dirt: "Found in the pile of corpses." Look, sir, what's written under this silver? ”

"Official silver, this is the official silver of the imperial court. Oh my God, this thing is getting bigger and bigger, and what this official is going to lose may not be an official, it's fate, it's fate. The Guangping County Commander said, his legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground.

The bodies were exhumed, and the families who had identified the dead confirmed that the victims were fake monks who had been recruited up the mountain after the flood. In addition, the family members also confirmed that it was the current Gaoyi County County Ordinance that issued the notice at that time. There are human witnesses, physical evidence, and sabers, and even the official silver lost by the imperial court has been found, but in the face of a large amount of evidence, the county magistrate of Gaoyi County just smiled and said: "It was the official who was negligent." ”

"Overlooked? Adults just neglected? ”

"The official does know something about this official bank, but because the murderer is on the run, the lost official silver has not been found, and the official has no choice, so the matter is temporarily suppressed." The county magistrate of Gaoyi County sighed: "There is a government official named Gao Lan who is good at floating water in the government office, which is the owner of this saber. This Gao Lan, taking advantage of his knowledge of water, cooperated with Diao Min to get all the silver from the shipwreck of the government. Afterwards, because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, these Diao people were killed. Of course, so many corpses can't all be Diao Min who participated in this matter, and some of them are insiders. Gao Lan is a person with vicious methods, Xu is worried that what he did will be known, so he will kill all the people without doing anything. Rest assured, this official will definitely investigate this matter to the end, and will arrest this evil Gao Lan as soon as possible. ”

The county magistrate of Gaoyi County is really a genius, and with just a few words, he pushed everything to a saber, a Gao Lan who didn't know whether it was true or fake, and then wiped out his suspicions.
