I do have contact with Zhao Butcher, and I have an envoy on each of them. Every time, someone would secretly send us a letter, and then someone would lure the envoy out, and when he returned, the envoy would be alone. It's a pity that in the middle, the damned Egan Baierdi escaped. ”

"Originally, I was actually going to attack the beast of Egan Baierdi, but I don't know what went wrong, and the merchant from Yumen actually changed clothes with him. By the time I found out, it was too late, but I couldn't prevent it, and I heard that the man was the culprit who killed the whole family that saved me back then! It is difficult to hide the hatred in his words, even if the person has been solved by his own hands, and even if he is dead, it is still difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu looked at each other indifferently, someone could lure the envoys out, and they didn't alarm the guards guarding the post station. It can be seen that his appearance is expected by people, and it doesn't even make people think that it is going on.

And there is also a portrait of Zhang Xiucai, and the person who led to Doriku's night pearl shoes in the first place......

Although this time, I couldn't find out that person in one fell swoop, but I had some gains.

Xiao Qinglang waited until Zhuang Songqing's confession was finished, and he couldn't tell the news of the person who sent him the letter at the beginning, then he looked back at the scribe who was writing the record and said, "Let General Zhuang draw the charge!" ”

The sentence of General Zhuang made Zhuang Songqing's expression slightly stunned, he didn't expect that after many years, someone would call him that. Moreover, it is also from Xiao Qinglang, who has always been iron-faced and selfless, and is feared.

This general not only made him decent, but also gave him enough respect. Perhaps, in addition to the clockwork of the law, this prince who shocked the little man also somewhat agreed with his approach.

He is not a gentleman, and he can't go back to be his own general after watching his benefactor's family die tragically because of himself, let alone turn over those hatreds after suing for peace in northern Xinjiang.

It's as if the death of that family has become a hurdle in his heart.

He restrained the unwillingness on his face, got up and made a big salute, and bowed to Xiao Qinglang: "Thank you, Lord Wang." It's just that I still have a reluctant request, I hope the prince can agree. ”

"You say." Xiao Qinglang said slowly.

"Don't let my identity be known to Zhao Shaoqing and Mrs. Zhao. Over the years, I have been a father in vain for revenge. And the old man of the Zhao family treats them very well, which is beyond my reach, and I don't want to let them feel estranged because of my affairs......"

Xiao Qinglang looked at him expressionlessly, making people unable to see any emotion, and it took a long time for him to bow his head and say, "This king promises you." ”

Zhuang Songqing breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the room, and then said, "In addition, Ya Niang doesn't know what I did. When I rescued her from death, I often used the cover of killing pigs to get blood for her life. As for Doriku's blood and Arikun's jelly of human skin, I didn't give it to her, except for some in the cellar, and the rest was sent to the back kitchen of the gluttonous building, where the envoys frequented the most. ”

Because the blood tofu he cooked tasted good, and the human skin jelly was smoother and more delicate than the pork skin, the master of the gluttonous building did not question him, and directly asked him to send some.

He did this, probably because he wanted the envoys to eat the flesh and blood of their countrymen. In the final analysis, it is just to return the body of others.

With Zhuang Songqing's confession and the results of Xu Chu's original autopsy, the next group went directly to the house of Zhao Tuhu, who was good at cane punishment.

In his house, the officials searched for boards made of iron. Its size and width are no different from the board used by the Yamen cane, but it is much heavier, and if it is struck with the force of an ordinary cane, it will either die or be injured.

"This is what I used to slap the wounded pigs that escaped when I killed them."

He looked excited, and waved his arms again and again to drive away the sudden uninvited guest. It was at this time that Xiao Qinglang suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something.

Xiao Qinglang glanced at Zhao Butcher, who was barely maintaining a calm appearance, and said slowly: "On the corpse, there is a very small silver bell with some strange pattern, I just don't know if it is similar to the bell you carry......

Just one sentence made Zhao Butcher stunned in place, and his expression became panicked. At this time, Xu Chucai followed Xiao Qinglang's gaze and saw that there was a very clean and bright red rope hanging around the neck of the Zhao butcher. And as his body moved, he could faintly hear a silver bell ringing in it.

Zhao Butcher's face changed suddenly, and after a long time, he was finally defeated in Xiao Qinglang's cold and cold eyes, and said dejectedly: "I confess." ”

The man who was still excited just now couldn't help but shed tears when he recounted his enmity with Northern Xinjiang.

"Not long after I married in Yumen, my mother-in-law was pregnant, but when she was eight months pregnant, the group of brutes in northern Xinjiang began to attack Yumen Town. At that time, my mother-in-law also told the baby in her womb that his father was a hero who defended the family and the country...... "The good memories suddenly came to an abrupt end, his face suddenly turned hideous, his hands were clamped tightly, his expression was desperate and crazy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, your status is noble, naturally I can't imagine that after I returned home from the battlefield, I saw a room full of blood, my mother-in-law who was in labor was opened to break her belly, and the child who had been formed was also broken inch by inch of the backbone, what kind of hatred was that......"

His mother-in-law said that he was a hero who defended his family and the country, what kind of hero was he, he couldn't even save the lives of his wife and children.

"I wondered, how could Yumen Town, which had already been recovered, be so hoked by the barbarians of Northern Xinjiang! I can't bear to find those officials for them to ask for an explanation, and I can't watch those northern Xinjiang beasts show off their power under my nose. "I was going to break the spine of the lone Nabi inch by inch, but unfortunately he broke the lock of longevity that I had prepared for my son...... So, how can I allow him to live one more moment? ”

At this time, not to mention Xu Chu, even Ning Subai, who had been babbling, didn't dare to breathe.

He could see the monstrous hatred in this man's eyes. In fact, if he encounters that kind of scene, it would be good if he didn't go crazy. How could he endure it for so many years and still live with that hatred.

Xiao Qinglang's expression was still calm, and when he saw that he was screaming and had no strength, he calmly said: "The matter of the year, this king will investigate deeply, if there is really a Great Zhou people who collaborate with the enemy and kill their compatriots, no matter what their identity and status are, this king will not let go." ”

With just one sentence, Zhao Butcher's angry face gradually calmed down. He looked at Xiao Qinglang intently, and finally said in a dumb voice: "Back then, if someone hadn't done internal response, it would have been impossible for the people of Northern Xinjiang to bypass the defenders and enter the Jade Gate, let alone slaughter the people without scruples. It's just that, compared to the ever-changing battlefield with countless casualties, no one cares about a small remote village. ”

He clenched his fists and continued, "Actually, when I killed Utuk, he was already as defenseless as if he had taken a drug. In addition, there was a man in black covering me at the time, so I started so smoothly. Later, after he helped me out of the city, I dumped the body of Nabina on a mass grave in the middle of nowhere. ”

"Because I have always suspected that some of the soldiers who returned to Beijing in the Great Zhou Dynasty were the internal response of the people from Northern Xinjiang, I was also very suspicious of the sudden appearance of the man in black. Later, when I was delivering meat to the secret prostitution house, I heard the cook say that when the fire was burning in the middle of the night, I found a pile of black cloth in the stove. ”

The so-called black cloth is most likely the black clothes that cover the person's face and appearance. In other words, the man had appeared in the secret prostitution parlor, and perhaps spent the night there, without arousing anyone's suspicion or consternation.

Xiao Qinglang's face did not change, and he calmly listened to him tell the doubts in his heart.

Maybe it was because of Xiao Qinglang's promise, or maybe he had already seen through life and death, so when he was taken away by the officials, he didn't show the slightest resentment.

After taking Zhao into prison, the men headed for the slaughterhouse where Utuk's body might be dismembered.

At this time, the money butcher, who had already been guarded by the officials, did not think about revealing the crime and the inventory. Until Xu Chu was in the place where the ox was slaughtered, he found the fragments of human bones that had been chopped and collapsed by an axe. He had to admit his guilt.

There is no difference between human bones and pig, cow and sheep bones in essence, but in the process of evolution and development, many different traces have been produced. It is not difficult to distinguish human bones and pig and cow bones, as long as you are proficient in the way of autopsy, you can basically judge it accurately.

This point, not only Xu Chu, but also several inspectors of the Three Law Divisions are also very clear. Therefore, the conclusions given by several people at the same time made it impossible for the money butcher to deny.

Coupled with the confessions of the two before, Xiao Qinglang has more clues, so it is not difficult to cheat the butcher.

As for his motive for killing, it is the same as the reason for Zhao Butcher.

Next, there is Sun Butcher. The official did not give him any chance to argue, and directly searched his residence, and finally Xu Chu found that the clothesline in his yard for drying clothes turned out to be an extremely long and thin iron wire. And although the clothes on the wire were a little stinky, many flies fell on it, but more flies landed on the wire.

She hesitated a little and asked the clothes cord to be untied. In a past life, there are many ways to detect whether there is blood on it, and whether the blood stain is male or female, human or animal. The most common, and the simplest, are the common benzidine test, phenolphthalein test, aminopyrine test, luminol light test, and ultraviolet inspection methods. It's a pity that in ancient times, when various instruments and conditions were not developed, it was really difficult to clearly detect whether there were blood stains on it.
